Ark, I got cold a little early

"Hey, no, I just changed!"

How come even the answers have become so human?

……

……

……

"Skadi, what are you thinking about?"

In the team of deep-sea hunters, Laurentina finally found a moment to catch her breath and came to Skadi, who was frowning, and asked.

"Nothing, Shark, I just... have a bad feeling."

Skadi frowned.

"Don't think too much. As long as we can complete this mission, no matter what happens, we can live a peaceful life in the future, right?"

Laurentina asked with concern.

"Well, you have a point. We have already paid too much for today."

Skadi nodded, then perked up.

I don't know why I have this illusion that something I value is about to slip away from me...

Is it an illusion?

Skadi frowned, but still did not tell Laurentina about her unreasonable concerns and anxieties.

After all, speaking out won't solve anything. At this time, it would be better to quickly solve the problem that needs to be solved and then go to Yu for a hug than to talk to someone else.

However, Skadi expressed satisfaction with Goletia's arrangement for Hongyu not participating in this operation. After all, Skadi's original expectation was that she did not want Hongyu to face the danger of Haisi, so she chose to become a deep-sea hunter.

But if she knew about Gloria's orders and arrangements, it would make it easier for Hongyu to sneak around to find Isamara... I don't know how she and Gloria would feel about it.

But for them now, the main task is to find Isamara as soon as possible.

-

Huhuhuhu! Just two or three more chapters and then the killing begins!

But the next chapter won't be too serious, it will be more... uh... lively.

After all, if Hongyu and Ishamara, who has Hongyu's personality, were to be together... I wouldn't be able to write a serious story...

(I don't know if anyone would object to Ishamara using Hongyu's personality setting. I think it's quite interesting. If a lot of people really don't like it, then I'll change the setting like I did last time. After all, it's just a background setting, so I'll change it.)

(Be warned in advance, the handling of the relationship between Haisi and Agol this time may make some people dissatisfied, thinking that the protagonist is a pure deus ex machina, but... isn't the protagonist here always a deus ex machina character?)

(So I'd better say this in advance, just to give you a heads-up or something. I don't want to get scolded, but I really don't have any good ideas anymore, so I can only resort to deus ex machina.)

Chapter 65 Hongyu: I will! Change everything!

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to change, then don't change."

After struggling with Ishamara for a while, Hongyu still couldn't make her return to her previous personality and held his forehead helplessly.

"Hey, why didn't you say that earlier? Why did you say all that nonsense before?"

Isamara looked relieved, and it seemed that she really liked the way "Hongyu" spoke.

Isn't this much better than the mechanical feeling before?!

Isamara: Akimbo.

"Okay, don't talk about anything else."

Hongyu waved his hands. This trip was simply too magical. First, it was revealed that he had actually been to the previous civilization, and then the current Ishamara suddenly spoke in a tone similar to his own...

It can only be said that it was too fantastic that the sense of urgency that Hongyu had built up before coming here was gradually disappearing.

"First, tell me what this 'ending I long for' you're talking about is."

"Given your personality..."

Isamara pinched her chin, then, like a second-grade detective who had been in elementary school for twenty years, pointed her finger at Hongyu and said, "I'm sure he's just hoping for a happy ending, like the hero in a novel!"

Tsk...what is she talking about?

Hongyu, who lost to Ishamara in showing off for the first time, couldn't help but raise a "?" on his head.

"Well, you just want Hai Si to stop harassing Agor, so that people like Skadi, Laurentina, Goldia, and Ulpian can live without worrying about their homes being destroyed or their families being killed."

Isamara waved her hand.

how do you know?

Can you read minds?!

"I can't read minds, I just happen to know what I know."

You said you can't read minds!

"Okay...you do have a point."

Hongyu sighed and nodded, "Then, if you use your identity to ask Haisi to stop attacking Agor..."

"Sorry, I can't do it."

Isamara shook her head.

"You can't do it?!"

Hongyu frowned, expressing his disbelief.

"Well, I can't. All I can sense is the evolutionary direction of the group. However, the judgment of Agor is made by the entire group. I can't change the perception of the entire group with just my own thinking."

Ishamara explained, "Furthermore, even if Haisi stops attacking the Agors...will the conflict between us end just because Haisi is rendered harmless?"

Hongyu was stunned.

He also learned a lot of information from Ishamara not long ago.

Including but not limited to the fact that Haisi was originally just a planned creature created by pre-civilized humans to change the environment, similar to a "sweeping robot".

The reason they attacked Agor was simply because the Agor people, who were minting coins, wanted to show off their superiority. As a result, they pissed off Hai Si after killing and killing, and he turned into a group of Terminators.

So, are those mints crazy?! They turned a robot vacuum that first learned to be friendly into a Terminator?!

(And having to deal with this deadlock is really annoying for me as the author)

Hongyu was silent.

"So... the only thing you can change is... the beginning of everything."

While Hongyu was silent, Isamara spoke at this time.

"Me? The beginning of changing everything? You think I can do that?"

Hongyu pointed at himself with amusement and said, "You think I can do something that changes the rules of the world line?!"

"Even though we are still in the pre-civilization stage, any scientist who knows inversion symmetry can do it."

Ishamara replied, “But now, perhaps you are the only one who can do it.”

"But... at that time, you will most likely die."

Changing the subject, Isamara looked at Hongyu seriously.

I...will die?

Ha, do you think I'm scared?

Hong Yu smiled with a look of relief and said, "Then tell me...how should I resolve this mess?"

"Use your authority, Hongyu."

"Do I have the authority to say that?"

Hongyu frowned. Although he had no idea what his omnipotence, which was almost "I think," meant, he still asked, "Do I also have the identity of 'God'? Do you know what authority I have?"

Yes, I never seem to have considered what my abilities are.

Even... how I traveled to the world of Arknights... I can't seem to remember.

"I don't know, but what is certain is... you have the ability to change the entire world line."

Ishamara said uncertainly, "At that time, you seemed to be quite childish and shouted something like 'I will change everything!' or something like that..."

"Okay, okay! Stop!"

Hongyu quickly interrupted, "I don't want to hear about my dark history in this supposedly serious place! Haisi over there! Don't laugh!"

An innocent Haisi: Meow?

"I told you not to laugh!"

An innocent Hai Si: ...I am really impressed. I am impressed. Why does this creator talk so much nonsense?

"But... this is actually just the most likely answer I've guessed. I don't know what it is specifically."

Isamara shook her head helplessly. "The only thing I can be sure of is that if you really decide to do this, you will die."

"Your [Transformation] is different from the technology of previous civilizations. Previous civilizations modified cause and effect, while you completely change the world."

Seeing Isamara seeming to hesitate, Hongyu chuckled and said, "So, if you say so, if I am destined to die, why am I still alive?"

"..."

"So, if there's a real possibility of changing this mess, I'll do it, no matter what the cost."

And... change?

Modify reality, change souls, change world lines... [Can anyone tell me what the sensitive word "modify (interval) reality" is?]

It seems that this can really explain the abilities I have demonstrated before...

Ishamara, who was a little anxious about Hongyu's relaxed attitude, puffed up her face in dissatisfaction.

"You'll die, I'm not kidding!"

"Then what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll die?"

Hongyu smiled.

"..."

To Hongyu's surprise, Ishamara chose to remain silent instead of denying.

"If so, I'm sorry."

After a while, Hong Yu finally spoke: "At least... you're right that I want a good ending."

Whew, you're right, Ishamara.

I can't stand tragedy, although I was a guy who only cared about having fun at the beginning, so when I first traveled through time and met little Chen Huijie, I just did a bunch of insignificant things.

I didn't manage to change her unhappy past, although I didn't care at that time.

But as my emotions recovered, I found that I was actually a very awkward person, and I felt uncomfortable and had to be fair.

So, I awkwardly plan to change all the plots of this **world view** that seems to be written by a **planner.

"Change?"

Hongyu's body gradually became transparent.

Let your existence this time become the anchor point of this world line and change the development of the world line.

It's like a god.

"Oh, by the way, Isamara, from now on, perhaps you, who are nearby, will be the only one who remembers the existence of this 'Hongyu'. So... Haisi's appearance is really ugly. When you have time, you should change the direction of your evolution."

Is there any correlation between these two points?

Ishamara looked unhappy and turned her head away and snorted.

"Please, by the way, since you have a personality module that mimics my personality, please help me take care of Skadi."

"……it is good."
