The civilization before the collapse, heroes and heroes are reborn with me

"Ah... I feel more and more sleepy the more I read. Ah Mo, I'm going to sleep for a while. Teacher Feng should wake me up when he comes." Desdobia yawned and put the book in front of her. She didn't know why, but she felt very sleepy, and she didn't know how long she would sleep...

It doesn't matter how long it takes, because Ah Mo will definitely wake me up.

Ah Mo would also help her catch up on the classes she missed. This kind of life... is ordinary, but she likes it very much.

"Ouch!" Someone suddenly hit her head. Desdobia looked at Kosmo with resentment, "Amo, what are you doing?"

"You can't sleep yet, Destobia." Kosmo looked at Destobia and said seriously, "You can't fall asleep here."

"Why?" Desdobia looked puzzled.

"Because someone will be worried about you." Kosmo looked at Desdobia and smiled gently, "Do you still remember the closing ceremony that night?"

"Of course I..." Desdobia suddenly paused. Did she... forget something?

Chapter 229 Determination

"I didn't expect your surgery to be completed so quickly, almost half the time I expected. It seems that you and Vishnu have a good compatibility." Yadmiller said as he stood opposite Kosmo, "Although Vishnu is only an emperor-level Houkai beast, in my opinion, it has enough potential to evolve into a Dharma-Ending-level Houkai beast of the same level as Mahadeva."

As for why I didn't mention Yuga, it's because among the end-level Houkai beasts, Yuga is also a unique and unsolvable existence. If it weren't for the fact that the only recorded Houkai beasts at the end of the law are Mahadeva and Yuga, maybe Yuga could have another level, such as a separate Yuga level or something...

There's no way around it, sometimes the power of space and time can be so unreasonable.

Steamed bun, you don't support it? .jpg

"Yadmiller..." Kosmo stared at Yadmiller. He was able to enter this imaginary world thanks to the Stigmata space device that was created at the fastest speed by Rovko and Vilvi working overtime and even with Rovko's artificial collapse. Otherwise, as a non-spiritual fusion warrior, he would have no other way to enter the space of consciousness and use the special abilities of a fusion warrior.

The imaginary space of the Holy Mark Space is independent of the dream world of the Eighth Herrscher. In other words, this is where the Eighth Herrscher was born, and then he began to create the dream world from here.

Admiller is still capable. Although this space is a little small and a little unstable, it is surprisingly similar to the Stigmata Space created by the Stigmata Project in later generations. The Stigmata Space in later generations is large enough to cover and compile the entire world, but it needs the imaginary divine bones to compile it in order to continue to exist stably.

And now the door to this space was also opened by Admire. The Admire standing in front of him now was not Admire’s real body, but only his consciousness.

"Seele and Feng have already started their operations. If you really have the ability of Vishnu as Mebius confirmed, you should be able to devour the Eighth Herrscher's ever-expanding dream world in the imaginary space constructed by the stigmata and curb the expansion of her power." Admiral looked at Zhang Kai. He and Kosmo were surrounded by countless dreams that twinkled like stars. There seemed to be light between them that pulled each other and made them constantly shorten the distance between each other, while also constantly approaching the central dream that was like the sun in the center.

"Of course, if a person's dream disappears, he will also die in the spiritual world, so you are not going to devour their dreams, but to devour the 'bridge' that connects everyone's dreams." Yadmiller looked at Kosmo and said, "Can you do it? If you can't control Vishnu's ability, I also suggest that you start devouring the dreams in the central area directly. This can also cause heavy damage to the Eighth Herrscher and disintegrate the central dream she created. The choice is yours."

He heard from Mobius that the people Kosmo cherished were also in this constantly gathering dream. If he started to devour them directly from the central area, there would inevitably be sacrifices. But judging from a rational point of view, this was the best choice. In this way, most people could be saved, but a few people would be abandoned. Moreover, it was the fastest way. After all, he could just swallow them directly without micro-management.

Gradually disintegrating the bridges connecting all dreams from the edge areas is a delicate job, and the speed is far slower than directly devouring the dreams in the central area, but it can save everyone...all those who did not sink so quickly. However, this plan is too risky and consumes a huge amount of energy for the executor. At the same time, if it takes a long time, it is unknown how long Feng and Seele, who are still fighting head-on with the Eighth Herrscher in the dream, can hold on.

Vishnu's power...

Kosmo closed his eyes, and a familiar power seemed to awaken in his body. The ferocious monster flashed with hatred in his body and roared as if it wanted to devour everything.

"No problem." Kosmo said word by word, "I will save Desdobia and everyone else!"

Desdobia, in the past, I could only watch you leave without being able to do anything, but now, I have the chance to hold your hand again, so... I will never give up!

"Man-made... collapse! Devour the dream, Vishnu——!"

……

"Closing ceremony..."

Desdobia repeated the word unconsciously. No, she and Amo had been studying in the school here, but... another memory seemed to be slowly awakening...

That was... the closing ceremony of the Australian Arts Festival...

At that time, besides her and Amo, there were other people who went together, including Teacher Feng, Teacher Alicia, and Padu from the next class...

They are all there too...

However, she and Ah Mo had clearly never left this small town. Although she longed for the outside world, she and Ah Mo had agreed to enter the same university and then go out together to witness the wider world...

Why did the memory of the Australian Arts Festival, which only appeared in books, appear in her mind?

"Hmm..." Desdobia felt a headache, but her head wasn't as dizzy anymore. She felt like she wanted to remember something, but... she seemed to instinctively refuse to remember it...

Isn't this the kind of life you want?

Is this... my own voice?

It is just such an ordinary life without any separation of life and death. You will always be with Amo, and then go through an ordinary but mutually dependent journey together.

I……

Don’t worry that Amo will leave you one day, because he will always be by your side. You don’t have to worry that Amo will be unable to let go of your departure one day, because you will always be by his side.

us……

Don't think too much. What can make you dissatisfied with such a life? This is the life you want, free from illness and disaster, plain but precious.

Desdobia pressed her forehead as she pondered the answer to the question. The voice in her mind emphasized over and over again that this was the life she expected, and she did not deny it... However, she also urgently wanted to know those memories that she instinctively resisted recalling.

She wanted to grab something, but she didn't know what to grab.

"Destobia, I... like you. So, do you... like me?"

Kosmo's voice suddenly sounded, and Desdobia suddenly looked up at the boy beside her. The boy looked at her with a gentle smile and continued, "Remember what happened at the closing ceremony in Australia? We held hands and watched the fireworks explode in the night sky. In the bustling crowd, we held each other's hands tightly. Even though there were passers-by around us, we did not let go. I said at that time, 'We... will go on together. No matter what we have to face in the future, I will hold your hand tightly and will not let you get lost.'"

"You're the one who would get lost!" Desdobia retorted subconsciously, and then her pupils shrank suddenly. This kind of answer... She seemed to have said this before...

The boy continued in a gentle voice: "So, I answered: 'Then we have an agreement that we must hold each other's hands tightly and not let go easily, so that neither of us will get lost, okay?'"

Some fragments of light and shadow kept flashing in Desdobia's mind, the fireworks in the sky, the noisy crowd, and the classical music played at the closing ceremony...

All the lights and shadows appeared and shattered, and finally gathered into a young man who had been holding her hand. Although there was still shyness in his eyes, he looked into her eyes persistently, wanting to tell her his determination and to truly convey his feelings to her.

"Stupid Ah Mo... don't just think about showing off..." She couldn't help but say, "Of course I will always hold your hand tightly, because I am... your senior sister, and my feelings for you will never be weaker than anyone else's..."

In an instant, everything, all the real memories came flooding back like a tide, and my groggy head suddenly became clear at this moment.

“I…I am…!”

Desdobia stood up with the help of the table and spoke loudly almost subconsciously, but she forced herself to stop talking because she found that her "classmates" were all staring at her, which made her feel uneasy.

Desdobia swallowed her saliva. She remembered that she and Amo were sorting out the files of the people attacked by the Eighth Herrscher. It was just a moment of trance... Was she also attacked?

That was a close call... If she had fallen asleep before, if she had fallen asleep in this dream... would she really not be able to wake up?

She looked at the "Kosmo" beside her again. The boy still looked at her gently, but no longer spoke. Desdobia was sure that Kosmo could not keep looking at her like this. At the closing ceremony in Australia, the atmosphere and feelings were right, and they had a rare heart-to-heart talk with each other, officially confirmed their feelings and intentions for each other, and... kissed.

After that, she and Kosmo didn't dare to look at each other's faces for several days...

So, this is not the real Amo, but why does he remind himself? As a character in the dream created by the Eighth Herrscher, according to the analysis of Dr. Mobius and others, the character in the dream should try every means to keep himself here and let the real self fall asleep forever. Why does this "Amo" have to remind himself again and again to prevent himself from falling asleep at the critical moment?

Too many doubts made Desdobia unable to think about what she should do for a moment, but she was very clear about one thing, she could not stay in this classroom any longer. The memories created by the Eighth Herrscher according to his wishes were still trying to flood into her mind, trying to replace the real memories she had just recovered.

“I can’t care less…” Desdobia gritted her teeth, took the hand of “Kosmo” and ran outside. She didn’t know where to go, but she wanted to leave the classroom first. As for why she brought this “Kosmo” with her… Although she knew that this was not the real Kosmo, the role he played in waking her up was crucial, and his actions were contrary to the purpose of the Eighth Herrscher, so he should not be a hostile unit…

The two ran out of the classroom and ran all the way to the playground.

"Hoo...Hoo..." Desdobia panted heavily, "It's obviously a dream, why do I still feel tired when running?"

The boy next to him didn't say anything.

Desdobia looked at Kosmo and said, "Now can you tell me why you helped me? If it weren't for you, I might not have woken up at all..."

Such a life was indeed her hidden wish in her heart. She knew that Hua and Himiko had a good relationship, and that Himiko had always been helping the somewhat dull Hua. Himiko's departure also made Desdobia feel fearful. In her daily life, she had seen familiar warriors sacrificed many times, and Himiko's departure left a mark of fear in her heart. She was afraid that one day, Amo would also leave, or that one day, she would leave for some reason...

She should have been prepared. After all, she was an elite warrior who had fought against Honkai for several years.

So she could bury all of this deep in her heart until it was seen through by the Eighth Herrscher and brought to light...

"I didn't help you." Kosmo shook his head and said, "This is your own decision."

"My own...decision?" Desdobia was stunned.

Kosmo's body gradually became transparent. He looked at Desdobia and said gently, "Because I am the projection of all your feelings for Kosmo in your heart. You love him, so you are willing to fight all the dangers in the world with him. You do desire such a life, but you also like the real Kosmo. If you insist on indulging in this dream of fulfilling all your wishes, then no matter what I say, you will not 'wake up'. However, you have proved to yourself that your feelings for Kosmo are enough to overcome the constraints of this beautiful dream."

"I..." Desdobia opened her mouth. She subconsciously wanted to refute, but the other party said that he was a projection of her feelings for Amo. Wouldn't her rebuttal become a refutation of her feelings for Amo? Forget it, no one else would know anyway...

"He must be doing his best to wake you up at this moment." "Kosmo" said, "When you break free from the shackles of dreams, my mission will also end here. Dreams will no longer have any binding effect on you because you will no longer indulge in them."

After saying that, "Kosmo" disappeared in front of her.

Desdobia stared blankly at the place where "Kosmo" disappeared. She was confused, not because she was confused about the dream and reality, but because she didn't know what to do now...

She was awake now, but how was she supposed to get out?

"Wow, I didn't expect you to wake up by yourself. When I found you before, I discovered that your consciousness signals were so weak that I couldn't detect them without Aponia's help. But your consciousness signals suddenly became stronger." Seele's voice suddenly sounded behind Desdobia.

"Seele?!" Desdobia looked at the girl standing behind her with some surprise.

"Alright, alright, as long as you wake up." Seele waved his hand and said, "Your boyfriend is trying his best to save you now."

"Where is he, Amo?"

Seele snapped his fingers, and the space began to distort, and a circular hole appeared. Through the hole, Desdobia saw a monster surrounded by countless starlight. The connections between the stars were constantly being cut off and swallowed by it, and then gently pushed into the distance.

"He is gradually disintegrating the dream of everyone gathered by the Eighth Herrscher. He could have directly devoured the central dream where you are to defeat the Eighth Herrscher, but he chose the most tiring way, just to ensure your safety... But even if you call his name now, he can't hear it. He doesn't have the extra energy." Seele said, "Besides, he probably doesn't want you to see this monster, right?"

"Yeah... he's very different from the hero in the story." Desdobia looked at Kosmo on the other side of the hole and said softly, "But... he's much more handsome now than the hero in the story."

She looked at Seele again: "Is there anything I can do?"

She had to do something, too.

"Well, that's simple. Otherwise, why do you think I came to find you?" Seele glanced at her, "I want you to trust me completely and give me the power of dreams. We can work together from inside and outside, right?"

In the holy scar space.

Lilith walked to the ball of light in the center of the dream, an elusive smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

Chapter 230: End, or rather, not completely end

Remiel was nailed to the wall by the spear again, and the dream world began to show signs of blurring. Seele, with the assistance of Aponia and other spiritual fusion warriors, fought with Remiel for control of the dream world from within. Zhu Yufeng, with the assistance of Su, fought Remiel head-on and forced Remiel to consume dreams to make up for the damage she suffered. Kosmo kept devouring the bridges connecting the many dreams that were to be merged into the dream main world, hindering their integration with the main world.

Remiel looked down at the spear that was nailed into her body. She had no physical body and did not know what pain was. In the battle with Zhu Yufeng, she never fought with all her strength, or she basically did not take any offensive measures, but just defended blindly.

But this time, she did not choose to consume the power of dreams to dissolve the spear inserted into her chest, but looked at Zhu Yufeng and asked him again: "Do you... love humans?"

There is no other meaning behind it, it's just pure confusion.

Zhu Yufeng didn't plan to continue discussing this with Remiel. He was ready to finish Remiel off again, but Su reached out to stop him: "Wait a minute, Feng, our main goal is not to fight Remiel to the death, and...she seems to have given up the fight with Seele for the dream world."

Simply consuming Remiel head-on to attract most of her attention can certainly buy Seele and Kosmo enough time and space to perform, but this will also consume the mental power of other humans who have been swallowed into the dream world. In other words, if the fight continues, before Remiel dies, as long as Remiel continues to overdraw the mental power of other humans in the dream world, those humans will definitely die before Remiel.

No plan can be done without sacrifice, and everyone should be accustomed to it, but... Su opened his eyes and looked at Remiel. This Herrscher gave him a very strange feeling. He did not have the malice of the eighth Herrscher in the previous life, nor did he have the hysterical resistance of other Herrschers.

From the beginning to the end, whether it was using memetic weapons to attack humans or merging all dream worlds into one main world, Remiel's attitude was a bit too bland, or it could be said that it would be more appropriate to use emotionless attitude.

She just felt she needed to do it, so she did it.

Remiel was almost indifferent to the battle plan that the Fire Moth had drawn up against her, and her attitude towards resisting this act was quite negative.

And now, she has simply given up using other people's dreams to fill her own body, and gave up the fight for control of the dream world, allowing Seele to seize control of this world step by step.

This Herrscher...seems a little "depressed"?

In any case, as the theoretical second-generation Herrscher of Knowledge in memory, Remiel seems to be different from the Herrschers who appeared before. Is it because she was born as a collection of stigmata?

Su was thinking this in his heart, and Remiel saw them and stopped, and asked again: "You... don't love humans?"

Su looked at Zhu Yufeng. From the beginning, he noticed that Remiel's attitude towards Zhu Yufeng was abnormal. Remiel didn't even look at him who was assisting Zhu Yufeng. As for Zhu Yufeng, Remiel was not only negative in his attitude towards the confrontation, but also tried to communicate with Zhu Yufeng during the fight.

So it goes without saying that this "you" refers to Zhu Yufeng.

In fact, Su himself had some idea of ​​the answer to this question. Zhu Yufeng was a time traveler, so he did not have a strong sense of belonging to this world. Naturally, he did not have much affection for the humans in this world. The concept of loving humans was too far away from Zhu Yufeng. He did not love humans as a group, but... he would love humans as individuals.

The individuals he loves love human civilization and love humanity, so he will protect humanity.

It can only be said that it was fortunate that Feng fell in love with Alicia first. If it had been Lilith, the two of them would have run away together without caring about the lives of humans.

So what's wrong with being a maple fan? At least maple can save the world...

"I don't love humans." Zhu Yufeng gave the answer that Remiel had been too lazy to give before, "But the people I love are humans, so I will fight for humans."

The golden spear on Remiel's body dissipated, and she fell to the ground. Then she looked at Zhu Yufeng with even more confusion: "I... can't see your memory, can't see your thoughts, but what I can know is that in your heart, Lilith and Alicia are both very high. This is the only emotion I can see. Do you love them?"

"Yes." Zhu Yufeng admitted it straightforwardly. Anyway, his mentality had long been rotten, and the label of "scumbag" was probably impossible to remove, so why not just admit it? Now, indeed, Lilith and Alicia both occupied a very important position in his heart that he could not give up.

Although Mobius and the others were also important people to him, but...when it came to emotional choices, only Alicia and Lilith were in a class of their own.

"Is that so..." Remiel lowered his eyes, "So, I am the enemy of mankind, so you want to kill me, right? Even though we are compatriots?"

Is this... the official recognition by the Eighth Herrscher that he is a Herrscher?

"But, many of them obviously volunteered to stay." Remiel looked at the sky that was gradually becoming illusory in the distance, his tone still puzzled, "I was born because of the wishes of mankind, and I exist to respond to their wishes. Some of them want legs that can run freely, some want eyes that can see the world, and some want to leave the ward filled with the smell of disinfectant and take a look at the outside world... I... satisfied them all, I responded to them, am I... wrong?"

"Your starting point may be right." Su said, "But you will kill them in the real world, and for most humans, they don't have the ability to distinguish the connection between your dreams and their reality. Life is like sailing in a sea of ​​suffering. Suddenly, you get a beautiful world that satisfies your wishes. Naturally, few people will choose to return to the original world."
