Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"...So, why did that Outer God target me?"

"A huge change happened in this universe a few years ago. That change allowed Outer God to neutralize this universe, and the number of pillars of Outer God closely connected to this planet saw the future. In that future—"

■A brief introduction about a certain foreign god · Part [-]

One day in the future, the outer god who created Van Gogh is going to invade the earth in this universe.The route of invasion is the Sea of ​​Imaginary Numbers, which is the most suitable base for Outer Gods who have the ability to manipulate imaginary numbers.

After all, it is a universe with its own firewall, so you can't be too cautious.So this Outer God made such a decision—to find someone to form a team.

Outer Gods and Outer Gods are also hostile to each other, and it is almost impossible to form a team in terms of results.But as long as they are one, the outer gods who may subvert the planet, if they get together, they can complete the invasion of the universe in an instant.

That Outer God happens to have a limited arbiter ability—in short, let’s call him Outer God V first.

This Outer God V can act as a tuner to reconcile Outer God H and Outer God C, so as to realize the almost impossible dream start of the three pillars of Outer Gods attacking hand in hand.He has made an agreement with these two, and they will go together when the time comes.He has you in his hands, and the other two have soldiers in his hands. It can be said to be a perfect collaboration.

The collaboration was a surprise at the very beginning.

The outer god H released V's pigeon, and then he probably felt sorry for it. He gave a treasure to the door (Van Gogh) created by V... Well, V thinks that he might as well not give it away.

Another Outer God C took the opportunity to join in when Outer God H withdrew. These two Cs were completely hostile, and as a result, the alliance of the three gods failed at the beginning.

But that's okay, V has a plan.

The Van Gogh created by Him is also the best host. As long as Van Gogh keeps going crazy and uses Xingyue Ye, V can attack by himself.In fact, Van Gogh has turned into a huge flower, and the time for invasion is coming soon.

Unfortunately, another accident happened.

When the plan reached the final step, Van Gogh regained his will because of an organization named Chaldea and a ship named Nautilus.

But it doesn't matter, V still has a final plan.

In a word, it is to force the plan to succeed by relying on one's own force.Although the plan has not progressed to the point where the main body can descend, the avatar that projects power can already be manufactured.This idea is not impossible. In fact, it was almost successful... However, Van Gogh still has the treasure given by H.

That Noble Phantasm is really super powerful, and it cooperated with another follower to cut off V's clone directly.

The only thing that gave V a little bit of relief was that the other two Outer Gods' attacks also failed.

——Anyway, the current V sees such a future.

After contemplating, he summed up the reasons why he and the other two outer gods C failed.

The reason for the failure of the first C was the assassination of the second outer C, but the reason for the failure of himself and the second C was the same... because the servants who were pawns, that is, the descendants who carried their respective strengths, were released. When they arrived on the ship called Nautilus, they got involved with the orange-haired girl named Fujimaru Tatsuka.

In the final analysis, at least [-]% of the reasons for having to progress to the stage where the outcome must be determined by force are the orange hair named Fujimaru Tatsuka.

So this time V changed his approach.

He abandoned all cleverness and decided to use force to decide the outcome from the very beginning.Just in case, he didn't plan to send Van Gogh to Lixiang or Nautilus from the beginning, but threw her directly into the sea of ​​imaginary numbers.

■Dream World·Deep Sea

"...Actually, the attack of the Outer God [has been half successful]."

Van Gogh said so.

"The invasion of the outer gods started from the sea of ​​imaginary numbers, but this is not the sea of ​​imaginary numbers but the space of real numbers. Li Xiang, the sea you see should be in a state with both imaginary and real number characteristics? The reason for this state is that It is because the imaginary number space controlled by the Outer God is eroding the real number space."

'Is that why Nemo came like that? '

Li Xiang thought so.

'Ark Nautilus is a small world model, as long as the ship is not sunk, the invasion will never be completed. '

And what Van Gogh said afterwards also confirmed Lixiang's conjecture.

"The Outer God's invasion of real numbers encountered unexpected obstacles, and the ship that hindered him seemed to hinder him in the future he saw... I don't know the future he saw very well, but he seemed very angry. While constantly creating a fleet of plants to sink that ship, he thought of another person who stopped him in that future."

"……me?"

"Well, this singularity has become the home of the Outer God, so He decided to kill you, Lixiang. So my memory was washed away, and it became the original memory of staying in this dream for some reason... …then, subconsciously, it started calling for help."

If anything, it's like fishing.

"I am the nectar of the pitcher plant, the bait that lures you to come. Obviously I am just a monster that can't die, but if I didn't call for help at that time, Li Xiang, you would not be caught by the trap of the outer god."

Like howling, Van Gogh's spiritual base changed again.This time she turned pure white, like a big flower blooming in the sea.

"It's still too late, and you can still stop the Outer God. If you don't save me but kill me, you can send the Outer God back to the outer universe. So please, Lixiang, the only person I can ask is you—kill me Me. Even now, if you just kill me, it must be enough for you."

"But I'm still alive."

Lixiang said suddenly,

"This dream is an attack, I already understand. You are the bait to lure me, I probably understand that. But——I am still alive. Because even if you are crazy, you are only hurting yourself, because even if you lose Still fighting, so—I'm still alive."

This dream is attack.

But who could be killed just by creating a dream that would kill someone?

Needless to say, the person responsible for killing Lixiang in this dream was Van Gogh.

The attack of the Outer God has been half completed, in other words, Van Gogh has actually lost in an unknown battle.Therefore, the Outer God believes that Van Gogh can be used as a bait to lure Lixiang and a pawn to kill Lixiang, which should actually be the case.

Van Gogh's lost memory has a record of her defeat. If Van Gogh's defeat is equal to being completely controlled by the Outer God, then at this moment Van Gogh should attack Lixiang under the manipulation of the Outer God.

But in fact, Lixiang is still alive.

Because Van Gogh was still fighting.

"Miss Sunflower—let me call you that until you decide."

She smiled and looked at the flower girl in front of her.

"Why did you continue to fight after you were defeated? And why did you call for help for more than ten days without getting a response? Let me ask you this again - what is your name?"

"--I."

At this moment, Lixiang felt a sense of rejection.

Now Lixiang understood that it was the foreign god who was chasing people away.She also didn't understand why this foreign god didn't chase people away earlier, maybe because he was busy?

Lixiang doesn't intend to understand these things, she wants to seize the last time to say what should be said most.

"Tell me the answer yourself in reality, I might not be the only one who will ask you these questions—so, let's [really] meet in reality."

Lixiang opened her eyes, Ma Xiu looked at the sea not far away and made a sound, and the traveler girl sighed at the still blurry giant flower not far away while increasing the number of "seaside" in her travel plan.

"What are you doing, Xingyue really has Cthulhu..."

15. It's like talking to people everywhere in an rpg

■The Unobservable Sea

Ark Nautilus stopped.

She has come to the place where the people on the boat can clearly see the giant flower as the destination. If she wants to, it won't take long to sail to the place where she can meet the giant flower.

Because of this, she stopped. After all, the people on the boat also needed to rest.

Giant flower...Although it has been called that, but after a closer look, I realized that it is not actually a flower, but just looks like a flower.Although that is the case, if we want to find a noun to explain it, it seems that we can only call it a giant flower.

It was a huge plant... No one could come up with a specific name for a while. If you want to measure its size, the units may have to use [thousand] and [kilometers].

The plant had a bulbous stem from which numerous pale, swollen roots branched out.There is a touch of vermilion at the top of the tree trunk. If you look at it from a distance, you will inevitably see this plant as a flower that has not yet bloomed.

■【Ark·Nautilus】·Deck

The time has come to night.

Nautilus's cafeteria is in the midst of noise, even more lively than the night when Li Xiang first cooked on this ship.

After all, last time it was just a spontaneous chorus of the animal crew, this time it was a serious banquet.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a party right now when we are about to arrive at our destination?The answer is of course [No].Since ancient times, human beings have treated guests to dinner in addition to welcome and seeing off. It is precisely because it seems that a decisive battle is about to start, so it is necessary to relax and adjust the spirit to the best state.

The name of the banquet is to celebrate the successful breakthrough of the plant sea fortress and approaching the giant flower. Because it has changed from a simple [dinner] to a banquet, snacks and drinks prepared by Nemo and Martha are added to the menu.

It is worth mentioning that although Lixiang held a banquet at the singularity again, everyone in Chaldea can no longer just watch from the sidelines and drool because of Tamamo-cat staying in Chaldea.

Because of cooking for the animal crew, Lixiang's popularity among the animal crew has reached an exaggerated level even though it's only been a few days.Now a large group of cute furries are surrounding Lixiang and asking for feeding with all kinds of cute calls, and even squeezed Matthew and Yuyu who wanted to come over to the side.

Lixiang, who likes furry, fell into the furry heaven, and the corners of his mouth almost turned into a W shape.

Apart from Tachika, among the several people in the Chaldean team, there is actually one person who is very popular among the animal crew... To be precise, it is one.

Fufu was squatting on top of Lixiang's head, talking to all kinds of big animals that couldn't be cute.She seemed to be talking about something very complicated with the animal crew, because Tachika hadn't been able to understand Fufu since a while ago.

Lixiang's ability to understand animals' speech is actually mainly based on guessing, so if the animal says something slightly complicated, Lixiang's [Animal Conversation (pseudo)] will be invalid... Although generally speaking, animals should not be able to say something complicated enough. Lixiang couldn't understand the words.

"Okay, I don't have any here anymore. I almost want to eat something by myself, so everyone can go and play by themselves."

Hearing Lixiang's words, the small and medium-sized animals who had been in the queue for a long time but didn't even sell their cuteness shook their heads and dispersed with a humane sigh.The animals fed by Lixiang were different, they all seemed to be dancing when they walked.

...Why does it feel like a fan meeting?

Seeing that the dead animals surrounding Lixiang finally dispersed, Matthew and Yuyu, who had been on the periphery of the animal encirclement, hurried over.Noticing that Lixiang had been feeding the cute animals and didn't eat much, Matthew also specially prepared a plate of barbecue for Lixiang.

"senior!"

"Thanks, little eggplant."

Smiling and taking the plate of barbecue that Matthew handed over, Li Xiang unexpectedly found that the plate was filled with his favorite things.

'Is someone watching me too? '

Thinking of this, the expression of the traverser girl became softer.

"Although furry is great, if there are too many, it will bring different troubles to people."

"Does senior like furry?"

"Well, it's human nature to like cute and cool things, right? And no matter what, I'm still a girl."

Hearing such words, Matthew's divergent thinking, which is not very common, brought such an unreasonable thought to her mind.

'If I dress up as furry...'

Then comes a furry costume that's honestly kinda bad in every sense of the word... Who the hell taught this kid these things?

……What? !She taught herself? !

Watching the interaction between the two, Yuyu suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration that could turn her into a three-pounder.

She always felt as if she had already faced a comprehensive defeat in all aspects before starting any battle.

"Speaking of which, Yuyu."

When Yuyu was still immersed in unreasonable frustration, Lixiang suddenly asked her,

"Yuyu, what did you and Fang Zhou come here (giant flower) for?"

"Of course it's to save His Majesty's humanity... Well, this kind of statement is a lie."

Then, Yuyu said something that surprised Lixiang.

"Although you may not believe it, my lord... Yuyu, I have seen the future."

"……Eh?"

"It's true! Although I can only see a little bit, it's still very vague, but I really saw it."

"No, I don't believe it..."

'...So, except for me who time-traveled, everyone is offended because of my time-traveling, right? '

Li Xiang couldn't help sighing.

"So, what happened to seeing the future?"

"Well, because I don't want to lie to the emperor. To be honest, Yuyu, I'm actually not interested in human...well, I have no interest. However, in the brief future I saw, I did too much to my friends. So, I thought about at least apologizing or something..."

"...But, in fact, those things haven't happened yet?"

"I can't tell the difference between jade and jade. Besides, there are other reasons."

Saying that, Yuyu looked at the giant flower across the hull, which was where Van Gogh was in reality.

"The child and I are both descendants. I really can't do it if I want to leave it alone. I don't collect any fear and madness."

"...Although there are many professional names that I don't understand and feel that they will not appear in the future."

The traverser girl laughed,

"Well, that's really a good wish."
