Everyone looked at each other. This was pretty much what they thought.
"This is 'knowing the beginning and end of everything'. I can also tell you clearly that in the fate I saw, civilization sank here and revived 50,000 years later. Kevin, Su, and Hua, as the only three remaining of the thirteen heroes, became pioneers and watched over the new civilization." Zhu Yufeng said, "Ying was the first hero to die in battle. She disappeared with Ling. After Alicia sacrificed herself, Aponia assimilated herself with the paradise at the cost of her life. Grayshu boarded the Ark, and finally lost contact with Kevin and others more than 2,000 years after the new civilization revived, and the Ark plan failed. The rest of them all died in the final battle..."
"Grayshus...she..." Kosmo's pupils shrank. "So, this is...the reason why you firmly opposed Grayshus' implementation of the Ark Project and even used your power to postpone it indefinitely?"
"That is a plan that is doomed to fail." Zhu Yufeng said, "Grayxiu, she is still so young, there is no need for her to shoulder this plan that is doomed to fail."
"Why are you so sure that that future will happen?" Sakura asked.
"Blanca and Desdobia died in the Eighth Herrscher incident, and I failed to save them. Hen died in the Ninth Herrscher incident, and I still failed to save him. All the fusion warriors except the Thirteen Heroes died in the tragedy of restraint, and I still failed to change anything." Zhu Yufeng looked at Ying and said, "In the end... I only saved you. I also failed to save Alicia..."
"Feng..." Alicia reached out and held Zhu Yufeng's hand, "This is not your fault..."
"So in the Eighth Herrscher incident, you were the first to suspect that the Eighth Herrscher's power was a memetic weapon, but no one believed it... In the Ninth Herrscher incident, you once wanted to fight side by side with Hen, but the parliament transferred you and the Fallen Angel Squad to kill Bharata Maten..." Kevin looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "In the tragedy of restraint, you even tried to bypass the parliament and forcibly implement Weierwei's plan, just to... change the future..."
Zhu Yufeng nodded slightly.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Kevin asked again.
He fought against fate again and again, and failed again and again... As bystanders, they would never be able to understand what he had been through. They could only be angry and regretful.
"...We may not believe it." Kosmo said.
"Eh? Wait... Thirteenth Hero? Isn't that Fourteenth Hero?" Pado discovered the blind spot.
"Because in the original story, Feng didn't exist." Alicia said softly, "He doesn't belong to the world we are in now. He is just a person from another world brought here by the collapse. Apart from knowing our story, he has nothing to do with our world..."
Everyone: "!"
"Brother Yufeng... is he an alien like Brother Jie?" Pado's little head was unable to accept the current information. To her, the earth was the world she understood.
"You can look at it this way." Zhu Yufeng smiled, "It's just that my world doesn't have such a thing as collapse, but your story is circulated in our world. At the beginning, I also thought that the story could be changed, but judging from the result..."
"You've always been so self-righteous." Ying suddenly said, "Feng, you have nothing to do with our world, why would you do this for us? Bearing everything, even if you're not understood, betrayed and hurt, why would you do this?"
"Now that I'm here, I have to do something, right? Instead of just eating and waiting to die, I might as well give it a try... I can turn this imperfect story into what I want. So what if I'm self-righteous? I've been here, so I have to leave something behind." Zhu Yufeng said, "Alisa saved my life. She was the first warmth and kindness this world gave me. As a Herrscher, she always fought for humanity, but in the end, she couldn't see the world she expected..."
Sakura was silent.
Everyone fell silent.
"As long as you are by my side, it doesn't matter if this story is not perfect. We have fought together, cried together, and laughed together..." Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng and said softly, "Even if nothing changes this time, I will feel very satisfied, because I have the person I love, and I am experiencing this story with him."
"Ailixia..." Zhu Yufeng's expression changed, "I..."
"What about Lilith and the others?" Kevin said.
Alicia: "..."
Kevin, can you please check the atmosphere?
"The twelve fallen angels, including Lilith, are actually not in this story. The story I know is the story of the thirteen heroes. If it weren't for my interference, maybe... you wouldn't know them either." Zhu Yufeng said.
Kevin was silent for a moment, then said, "We will succeed. We will succeed."
Paduo looked at Zhu Yufeng in silence. She remembered what Zhu Yufeng had said to her: "No one is born a hero, including me."
Everyone returned to the headquarters in a solemn atmosphere.
Before getting off the transport plane, Alicia looked at everyone and said, "Don't look so sad. Now that everyone knows about this, we still have a chance to do better, right? Little Grayshu will be coming with Blanca soon, so we can't leave a bad impression on her."
"You're right, Alysia." Kevin was the first to get off the transport plane. "But before they come, I also need some time to think about it carefully."
"...Me too." Kosmo said.
Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "I...I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Padu looked at the backs of the others leaving and scratched his head: "Then... do we need to think about it too?"
Sister Ai Li is right. What if the story is not perfect? What is coming will come. Isn't it better for us to experience it together, fight together, and change together? Why do we have to think so much?
"Don't be autistic like them." Zhu Yufeng reached out and touched Paduo's head, "Just be yourself."
"Oh."
A few days later, Grayshu's birthday was held in Mobius' laboratory. Hen and Blanca did not invite too many people, after all, considering that a certain stubborn doctor had a very bad reputation in the Fire Moth. However, Blanca insisted that Mobius attend, so in the end not many people showed up.
"Little Gray is still as well-behaved as ever~" Alicia smiled and pinched Gray's face, "Come on, call me Sister Alicia~"
"Alicia, Grayshu has just learned to speak not long ago." Hen said with a smile.
Little Grayshu blinked her eyes and suddenly said in a childish voice, "Sister Alicia."
mark:"???"
What did his daughter say just now?
Everyone looked over, and they looked at each other, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated.
The person involved, Alicia, was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly reacted and said with a smile, "As expected of little Grayshu, so smart~ Then, what should Dr. Mobius be called?"
Mebius: "???"
Ai Lishiya, are you looking for trouble?
"Grandma Mobius." Little Gray said in a baby voice.
Blanca's eyes twitched, and she quickly said to Gresh, "Gresh, call Mebius sister."
If little Grace keeps shouting like this, what if Feng also feels that the age gap is too big? She also wants to see little Grace as a big sister helping Dr. Mobius take care of the child.
"Pfft..." Hen couldn't hold back his words, and he said with a smile, "Children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint. After all, what little Gray Xiu said is her first impression, isn't it?"
Blanca glanced at Hen.
Hen immediately changed his words: "However, the child's understanding of some names is still a little vague, so I will teach him later."
He would certainly work tirelessly to tell Grace that this was the right thing to say.
Kosmo looked at Greyshu, and remembered what Zhu Yufeng told him about Greyshu losing contact during the Ark Project. He felt a little guilty, and stepped forward and said in a not very confident tone: "... Greyshu... My name is Kosmo."
"Roar, Kosmo."
Kosmo: “???”
Kosmo looked at Alicia. What did she teach Grayshu?
Alicia tilted her head. Wasn't this what she taught? She looked at Zhu Yufeng, and Zhu Yufeng looked at the ceiling.
The case was solved. This guy taught me how to do it.
Chapter 139: The Silent Fallen Angel
"Brother Yufeng, why does Kosmo's voice sound a little blue? His voice is always so low."
The young painter asked this to the young man who was looking at the portrait she had painted of himself.
The young man came back to his senses, with a mischievous smile on his face. He said, "Because Kosmo is always unconfident, he hesitates and thinks for a long time before speaking~"
The young painter watched the young man's colors become more enthusiastic, and she asked again: "Then how can we make Kosmo more confident?"
"That's easy. Just tell him, 'Roar, Kosmo' and he'll perk up." The young man said with a smile, "Next time you see him looking unsure and hesitant, tell him this."
The memory ends.
Zhu Yufeng looked at the ceiling. He had never thought that Grayshu would recover her memory at this time. Wasn't his ability to reset her memory a little outrageous? Of course, it was also possible that Grayshu had the memory in the first place, but was reset back to the infant state, causing temporary amnesia...
“Pfft…” Kevin was the first one who couldn’t hold it in anymore. He looked at Kosmo and said with a smile, “It seems that Grace thinks you speak too softly. Hahahaha…”
Hen didn't hold back and patted Kosmo's shoulder and said, "Hey, little Grayshu has said so. You have to stand up straight in the future and don't let little Grayshu remind you all the time."
Kosmo: "..."
(Look at Feng's expression. Was it Feng who taught him? Why did Feng teach Grayshu this sentence? And I remember that in my previous life, as Grayshu's guardian, I still had prejudice against Feng's actions, so I never let Feng see Grayshu. How did he teach Grayshu this sentence?)
Zhu Yufeng felt like laughing when Kosmo looked at him with resentment. Kosmo, you have come to this day too!
Well done, Gray, I love you for what you do!
Zhu Yufeng, who was in a good mood, looked at Grayxiu and said with a smile: "Grayxiu, I am Brother Yufeng~"
"Brother Yufeng, hug me." Grayshu, who was held in Blanca's arms, stretched out her hands.
Kosmo: “???”
(What's going on? Judging from the current situation, Grayshu should have memories, so why did she ask Feng to hug her? Or did Feng go to find Grayshu when I wasn't paying attention?)
Zhu Yufeng was also confused. He looked at Grayshut to confirm that he had heard correctly, but Grayshut kept blinking and looking at him with his hand still stretched out.
"It seems that little Grayshue likes you very much." Blanca walked to Zhu Yufeng with a smile, "Then fulfill her wish. How about hugging her, Feng?"
It turned out that all this time of teaching Grace was not in vain. Feng also played a role in telling her her name. The paintbrush as her last birthday present was given by Feng. Speaking of which, little Grace really likes painting, and she has been using the paintbrush Feng gave her.
It depends on you whether you can bring Dr. Mobius and Feng together. I will let you come to Dr. Mobius' laboratory often in the future. Come on, little Grayshu!
"I... don't know how to hold a baby." Zhu Yufeng said. He really couldn't, or rather, he had never held such a young child. The youngest child he had held was Astaroth, and in terms of age, Astaroth was only one year younger than Ling. What's more... he met Astaroth during the Eighth Herrscher incident.
"It doesn't matter. You'll have to learn it sooner or later anyway." Hen offered an assist. "Learn it now. It will be useful in the future, right?"
Let little Gray Xiu get close to Feng first, and then teach little Gray Xiu how to match Feng and Alicia, or let Feng and Alicia help take care of Gray Xiu together, isn't that enough? Oh, he is really a genius.
"Brother Yufeng, you are lying." Little Grayxiu curled her lips, seeming a little unhappy.
Hen and Blanca both looked at Greyshull, and then at each other. Little Greyshull seemed to be particularly lively today. In the past, she always had a confused expression and her demeanor rarely changed.
Alicia looked at Zhu Yufeng. It was obvious that Grace would not lie. In other words, would Feng really hold the child? When? Would this wooden-headed man take the initiative to hold the child? The only possibility was that he might have held the child during the rescue mission, but if Lilith was there, he would probably just watch the child die without saving him. How did Grace know that?
Mobius looked at Zhu Yufeng with a thoughtful expression. If she remembered correctly, Astaroth, the quiet fallen angel among the thirteen fallen angels, had a good relationship with Greshu. They had met each other. Astaroth had written stories for Greshu, and Greshu had painted a portrait of Astaroth. In other words, this should be what Astaroth told Greshu?
Being watched by everyone, Zhu Yufeng felt helpless. He could only reach out and carefully take Grayxiu from Blanca's hand, then looked at Hen and Blanca and said, "What's next?"
"Holding the baby like this will make him more comfortable. Remember this," Blanca instructed enthusiastically.
Hen also echoed: "Yes, yes, that's right, you learn very quickly."
Zhu Yufeng: “…”
Holding a child, he didn't know how long ago he had thought of such a scene, but now he had let it go. Moreover, from a realistic point of view, he should not have that opportunity, unless Lilith or Evil Velvet succeeded one day... Also, why did he feel that although this couple were doing the same thing, they did not have the same purpose?
He lowered his head and looked at little Greshu who was quietly lying in his arms. He finally remembered that Astaroth and Greshu had a good relationship. He had indeed held Astaroth in his arms, so, could it be that when the children talked to each other, they regarded this as something worth showing off?
Where does this unreasonable desire to compare come from?
And Kosmo, stop looking at me. Your hesitant expression can easily be misunderstood.
(Graysh, is she actually so close to Kaede? When did this happen…)
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's cut the cake~" Blanca said with a smile.
Logically speaking, this time Grace's birthday should be a happy one, with everyone participating in it, but Zhu Yufeng always felt that there was something wrong with the way Kosmo looked at him.
The birthday party was over, and children's energy was always easily exhausted. Seeing that little Grace had a sleepy expression, Blanca took Grace to rest first, and Hen was left behind to clean the laboratory with Zhu Yufeng and others.
After finishing all the work and seeing Hen had left, Kosmo couldn't wait to look at Zhu Yufeng and said, "...Feng, when did you meet with Grayxiu?"
"Ah? Astaroth has always been able to meet with Grayshu, didn't you know? When Astaroth left the Deepest Place, it was usually me or Abaddon who followed, so I had many opportunities to meet Grayshu, not to mention that Grayshu would sneak out to find me." Zhu Yufeng looked at Kosmo, "Besides, Hen and I have a good relationship, and I have known Grayshu for not much less than you."
"Astaroth?" Kosmo's expression changed. Of course he knew the quiet fallen angel, but for various reasons, he had not met Astaroth a few times. She was much more dangerous than Grayshure, and could even be called the most dangerous fallen angel. She could materialize fantasies, which was somewhat similar to the power of the First Herrscher, and all of this was full of uncontrollability. Once Astaroth lost control of her emotions, it would be easy to turn a place into a living hell.
As for the thousand-faced fallen angel Abaddon... Kosmo also knew him, and the two had chatted before, but they didn't get along. Abaddon was steady and reliable, and it was very smooth for him to communicate with others. Kosmo also thought that he was better than himself, but Abaddon disdained the concept of "hero". He didn't want to be a hero at all. He only did what he was supposed to do well, and didn't want to care about other things at all.
(Although I also sympathize with Astaroth, she was imprisoned and isolated at such a young age, but her ability as a fusion warrior is really too dangerous. If I remember correctly, after she joined the Fallen Angel Squad, only members of the Fallen Angel Squad were allowed to contact her. Then... how did she meet Grayshu?)
Kosmo turned his gaze to Mobius. As the executor of the Chimaera Project, Mobius had the authority to contact Astaroth as a person other than the Fallen Angels...
"Don't look at me like that. When I first found out that Yufeng had let Astaroth get close to Gresh, I was also very angry. But Gresh herself didn't mind, and Astaroth was always very obedient. In addition, every time they met afterwards, Yufeng, even Aponia, were present and watching, so there was no problem." Mobius said with empty eyes, "By the way, Hen also knew about this. It's better to say that Hen and Yufeng had discussed Astaroth's meeting with Gresh in the beginning."
Kosmo had a thoughtful expression.
(Did Astaroth meet Grayshu before the Ninth Herrscher incident? Indeed, if Hen thinks this way, then there shouldn’t be any problem…)
Zhu Yufeng recalled the scene at that time.
"You said you wanted Astaroth and Grayshu to meet?"
"They are both quiet and obedient children. Astaroth is always locked up in the deepest place, and no one talks to her. Every time I go to see her, she is reading fairy tales alone. I have also read the books she reads. She also wants friends, so... I want to ask you, can you... help me?"
"..."
"I know that Astaroth's ability is indeed dangerous. I'm just asking. Goodbye..."
"Gresh likes to draw, and Astaroth likes to read fairy tales. Maybe they are really suitable to be friends. After Blanca left, Gresh has been drawing all the time. Because of her ability, she doesn't have many friends. As a father, I have indeed failed in my duty... Feng, you are a reliable person, and I am willing to believe your guarantee for Astaroth."
"Thank you... I'll keep an eye on Astaroth."
“No… If Grayshu can really become friends with Astaroth, perhaps I should be the one to say thank you…”
