Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

This topic is still too early for Amiya.

"Ah, Amiya, I'm sorry you overheard some embarrassing things."

If she were to face Kal'tsit or Theresa's questioning alone, she would probably be overwhelmed with guilt and unable to bear it.

In a daze of excitement, the Doctor awkwardly apologized to Amiya, thinking that "Nautilus's" protection of her had indeed left her feeling a little unsatisfied.

“It’s alright, Doctor. This time, you just need to follow your heart. You’ve always been busy for others; this is a good opportunity to comfort yourself.”

After Amiya realized that the Doctor's decision to kill Theresa was not as simple as a cold-blooded chess player killing the kind-hearted Princess Theresa, she gradually came to terms with it.

The doctor who rescued her from Oripathy in the mine, who didn't hesitate to use her blood to heal her, and who took her on a journey through Terra.

She should have considered the PhD student's situation and understood her difficulties.

Amiya felt that the Doctor also deserved some comfort and rest.

"Amiya."

The doctor gently stroked Amiya's head.

The more considerate Amiya was to her, the more the Doctor found Kal'tsit's attitude inexplicable, and she was surprised at how she had tolerated it before.

She can endure all this; she must be a superhuman.

The Shard Tower was right in front of them, while corpses and ruins stretched out with the giant's footsteps.

Lotin looked at Theresa in his palm; he had actually always wanted to ask this question:

"When you were calibrating the Shard, did you conduct test shots between Victoria and Lateran?"

"You also have an intelligence network spanning Victoria and Lateran?"

Judging from Theresa's eyes and tone, it should be pretty much the same.

That natural disaster was so unusual that it was completely different from naturally occurring disasters, and the disaster messengers hired by Loting were almost helpless.

These are indeed the things the Sarkaz produced when they were calibrating the Shards Tower.

"Did I accidentally hurt you?"

Theresa's eyes began to dart away.

"Fine, I know you still have your last trump card."

Loting looked at the Shard, towering above the storm.

"Let Anana descend, let the first Originium descend."

"The power you siblings stole—the power over the Black Crown, the power over Originium—is now being concealed and hidden away, afraid to reveal it?"

"You're not still thinking of letting the Originium return to the Sarkaz, are you?"

In the original storyline, that's what the Sarkaz spirits said, and Lotin wanted to confirm whether these old Sarkaz creatures still thought so.

"You knew this all along, yet you still brought me back here."

"Your arrogance will ruin all your efforts, conqueror."

Theresa admitted her mistake and surrendered, but the Sarkaz ancestors' spirits, who were carrying Theresa's corpse, didn't seem to think so.

"The Originium will return to the Sarkaz."

"No, Originium, when did it become your Sarkaz property?"

Lotin asked in slight shock, "Even Theresa knows to feel ashamed of this, yet these old Sarkaz bastards still have the audacity to say they picked it up."

At that moment, a shadow slowly descended from the top of The Shard.

Loting has achieved his goal; the "original source stone," Anana, has appeared.

"You opened the door that allowed me to reach you."

"Rest in peace, old folks."

Luo Ting thought, this is probably a case of digging one's own grave.

Chapter 140: The Flood of Consciousness

The independent universe inside Originium has rules completely different from those of the material world, and human consciousness is mixed in within it in the form of data.

In the Terra world after the Crystallization Era, the so-called ghosts are the consciousnesses of Oripathy infected individuals who are trapped within the data inside Originium.

"Where is this, Rhodes Island?"

The Doctor was just talking to the two Miss Agor on Nautilus's shoulder, but now he's in a corridor on Rhodes Island.

Then she saw a diamond-shaped shadow descend from the Shard, and she also heard Nautilus and Theresa talking.

She noticed that Nautilus addressed Theresa as "you" (plural).

She immediately sensed that the situation was not simple. It was completely different from what she had experienced on the deck of Rhodes Island. This "Theresia" gave her a very different feeling.

Amiya, Nautilus, the two Miss Agors, and Theresa are all not here.

"Illusion created by some kind of Originium Arts, or—"

"This is the internalized universe of Originium. Precyth left a message for you here."

A pristine white spacesuit came into the doctor's view; Nautilus had somehow reverted to the body of a former civilization's inhabitant.

He explained to the Doctor where they were, and that among the teammates logged into the system interface, Laurentina and Skadi were in good condition and were also in this "Rhodes Island".

Finding them is not difficult as long as we rely on the system's location tracking.

"Sister, hunter, please try not to move around."

In the system chat interface, Skadi and Laurentina said that they were with Amiya, but Theresa's body had no vital signs at all.

A corpse resurrected by a pardoner using blasphemous witchcraft cannot maintain its original puppet state when it enters the place where its inner soul wanders.

Within this space, the Sarkaz ancestral spirits and Theresa do not need to rely on this body.

This is not the real Rhodes Island, but a replica created according to the rules of the Originium-internalized universe.

The Doctor was logged into the status as the third teammate.

"You brought me here simply because you're willing to grant my wish and resolve my many doubts about Precyth?"

"That's one of the reasons."

"Rhodes Island Doctor, I would like to clarify some misunderstandings in front of Precyth."

The astronaut's eyes glowed with a pale blue light, and a smooth, cold giant hand gently patted the doctor's shoulder.

Before Lotin and the Doctor appeared a striking white, prismatic window, visible only to them.

Upon entering, the doctor and Lotin arrived at a closed space with only dark gray walls, where a woman with long black hair was nodding and waiting.

Beneath that elegant and rational face lies a heavy, twisted obsession.

Her projection of Priscilla is a program and information left behind by Priscilla.

“Puri… Seth…?”

"Hey, where did you learn such a strange language?"

The doctor's language sounded foreign to Precys; it was clearly not the language of a pre-civilization.

"Did you secretly upload your thoughts to some civilization at the end of a spiral arm during this hibernation period?"

This seems to be a personal hobby of a doctor from a pre-civilizational period.

“Mr. Nautilus, you are a citizen of high moral character, and I thank you for bringing her here.”

Precys reached out her hand to the Doctor, believing that he would not refuse her hand-holding, just as he had before.

But the doctor in front of her only glanced at Luo Ting out of the corner of his eye, and she didn't move an inch.

Precys looked utterly terrified, and withdrew her outstretched hand as if she had been electrocuted.

However, this was not the end. Lotin held the doctor in his hands and let her sit on his shoulders like Laurentina had.

Throughout the process, the doctor did not show the slightest resistance or displeasure.

Precyth let out a hoarse howl.

"You are close friends, colleagues, and doctors from Rhodes Island. This is the Prismus who will never be forgotten in your memory."

The astronaut turned to look at the doctor she had put on her shoulder. Her smooth fingers gently traced the doctor's face, but unfortunately, because of the spacesuit, she couldn't feel the smooth and delicate touch of the doctor's skin.

Precys's projection staggered back a few steps.

"Why is it that, even though we've witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations together, and our thoughts have iterated endlessly through mutual collision, only to realize, when we stop and look back, that we've already surpassed others by far too much..."

Why are you willing to be pampered by him?

Precys's sobs gradually turned into trembling hysteria.

Soar among the stars, listening to the sound waves emitted as stars die...

"Wait, the pulsating nebula... Could it be that back then, could it be that back then, you wanted to possess her?"

Precys depicted a nebula that seemed to be alive, always emitting mesmerizing, mysterious sound waves.

"To take possession of it..."

"Yes, to take it for oneself."

Lotting found Precys's message perplexing; the imagery she used was too convoluted for Lotting to readily visualize or compare.

"But I never forced her to do anything."

“I did not plant any malicious anchors in her mind.”

Lotin hinted that it was the gray matter planted by Precys.

"I am just a lonely person in this world where the stars are dim and we depend on each other for survival. We just support each other."

"I also promised her that my wish would be fulfilled."

Unlike the original storyline, Rhodes Island operator Frostnova and Bozokasti did not appear here. The possible shortcomings of the Doctor have been filled by Lotin in advance.

To possess, Lotin liked the word Precys used.

The Doctor's longing and attachment stirred a stronger protective instinct in Lotin than in Laurentina and Skadi.

She is a true fragile porcelain doll, both in her frail body compared to the Terrans and in her precarious spirit under immense pressure.

She needs more meticulous care than Laurentina and Skadi.

Lotin gradually filled in the cracks that Precys had been unable to repair.

"Nautilus, quack, I'm going to kill you, disintegrate the matter that makes you up, and annihilate your consciousness in the flood of information..."

Precys's projection revealed a ferocious hostility.

Why? My wishes were fulfilled, and I received support from my people. With two joys combined, how could it turn out like this...?

However, the doctor could not forget the sense of security that "Nautilus" had given him when he was in his most painful and helpless moments.

The responsibilities that were not hers, her almost weak and indecisive kindness, the murder accusations from her loved ones, and her confusion and helplessness after losing her memory were all swept away by Nautilus.

The giant held her in his hand, simply because she longed for it, simply because she needed it.

"I'm sorry, I have something else on my mind."

In the original storyline, the Doctor also blurted out the same line, although the things he cared about were different, but neither of them were about Precys.

"I can't imagine being alone again."

"So please stop bothering me."

The doctor gave a faint smile; in her current state, she no longer remembered many things about Precyth.

Therefore, her thoughts were filled with this fellow clansman who was willing to side with him, after all, these were things that the doctor, who had lost his memory, had personally experienced and still remembered clearly.

Precy believed that even if the Doctor's brain no longer remembered, deep within the Doctor's consciousness, in places that no instrument could capture... there must still be traces of Precy.

However, it was as if Nautilus wanted to dismantle and crush those marks, and instead filled them with his colors.

very scary.

Isn't he afraid of himself?

Are you not afraid of your power as the creator of Originium?
