As the philosopher's words fell, the memories ended again...

Kevin came to a red desert with many large stone pillars.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that this place is no different from the imaginary space.

These stone pillars are tombstones.

And on it, there are many inscriptions engraved.

After looking at several stone tablets and killing some Honkai beasts easily, Kevin finally stopped in front of a stone tablet.

"This is a hero who changed the world; reflect on his mistakes, remember his merits - he is also human."

This is the inscription engraved on it.

Obviously, what stands here is not a surviving building, but a huge tombstone.

The reason why it has reached such a scale is obvious - those who are buried here are heroes recognized by the world.

And, it is also "all human beings" in this dream.

"But this world..."

The man looked at the endless sand in all directions, knowing that there was nothing in it except the patrolling monsters.

"If everyone was a hero, how terrible the world would be."

He recalled the words of the philosopher...

"...Indeed, considering my current status, what he said is indeed a prophecy."

Of course, being right doesn't mean it can be acknowledged.

At least even now, Kevin still finds it hard to admit that such a person can be called a hero.

"The ending here is 'reality', not 'dream'."

As it is said, the beautiful dream given by the Stigma Project may have its own limitations, but it does not need to be constrained by objective reality. It can be completely illogical, and the scene before us should not appear at all.

—assuming that nothing has changed.

"There are other visitors like me who have also entered the 'Spiritual Adam'."

As Kevin realized this, he immediately walked through a door emitting white light and returned to the dark space where he had been before.

As he returned, a familiar figure passed by and trotted towards one of the doors...

"A warrior who bears the power of Vishnu..."

Then, the main perspective of the plot switched to Theresa's side.

At this moment, she is trying to break the spiritual Adam through the methods discussed previously.

After entering the dream of one of the children, she began to talk with them, planting the seeds of change.

After finishing everything, Theresa went to the next area...

She, Xier, and even the lively twins went through one dream after another.

As more and more seeds of change are planted.

The efforts of Theresa and others finally paid off.

The deep sea of ​​light is no longer silent.

In the boundless darkness, tens of thousands of dreams are clamoring and churning, like giant beasts waking up from a deep sleep, stretching out their huge bodies wantonly.

A ball of light was floating, breaking away from the attraction of the light ball and rising up to the dark sky. Inside the light, the color of the soul, which was both pink and blue, was faintly revealed.

Following closely, more and more balls of light rose into the sky, like a scattered galaxy, and disappeared at the end of sight.

"This, this, this - is this an earthquake?"

Rosalia, who had just returned to the team, started to fuss...

At this time, her good sisters started to complain about her as usual.

"Stupid, we are finally leaving these dreams."

"Well, let me take you to a safe place."

Xier appeared like an excellent sister at this time and gave care to the two of them.

However, Lilia, one of the lively twins, thought of a question at this time...

"What about... Theresa?"

"Xi'er and I still have follow-up work to do."

Before leaving, Theresa told her what she needed to do next.

"These dreams are just beginning to unravel... We need to do more and get more people involved in this work."

Unexpectedly, after hearing Theresa's words, the twins who had just escaped from danger were ready to get involved again...

"Then we'll come too!"

"Yes. This time, Lilia temporarily agreed with Rosalia's opinion."

It has to be said that the sensible behavior of these two people really gave everyone in the live broadcast room a little shock.

"I didn't expect Rosalia and Lilia to be so sensible. It seems that I misjudged them before."

A pink bullet screen floated across the screen...

It was obvious that Alicia agreed with the decision of the funny twins.

This belief of fighting despite knowing the danger is one of the many reasons why she likes humans...

"Rather, it's more in line with their habits to continue to take risks at times like this, right?"

A bullet screen with moonlight effects floated across the screen...

Kiana had fought alongside Anti-Entropy and had talked with them at the Salt Lake Base, so she knew their style of doing things very well...

Although it was indeed rash to bravely move forward at this time, it is undeniable that the actions of these lively twins at this time really reflected the positive and sunny side of human nature...

In this way, more and more teams came to liberate the dream.

Whether it is the Valkyrie or the volunteers in the dream, everyone does their best to fight against the so-called "spiritual Adam".

But...the Stigmata Plan doesn't seem to be that simple.

This is true even for Kevin.

Kevin once again entered a door emitting dazzling white light...

"I'm sorry...I...I don't remember you."

The one who said this was a dying philosopher...

Even though his life is coming to an end - his audience, at this moment, is still as young as ever.

This is a young man who has never entered reincarnation...

And he couldn't even recognize this... It was enough to show that he was now terminally ill and his mind was in a mess.

"——Kaslana."

Kevin simply gave his last name.

However, this surname that he created himself did not awaken the old man's memory.

"Kaslana? I've never heard of that name..."

"I've listened to every one of your speeches."

Kevin continued.

However, although his tone was normal, the philosopher's voice was full of vicissitudes.

"Every single one...ha..."

The philosopher is now dying, and the people who have listened to every one of his speeches cannot be so young.

"......Why?"

"I don't understand either. In fact, among the people I know, there are those whose vision far exceeds yours. I should have recalled every word she said and used it to determine my every move."

As Kevin mentioned her, the audience in the live broadcast room naturally thought of the person Kevin was following...

plum...

"Kevin should be talking about Mei, right? But why is he talking about this with an old man here?"

Because such behavior is somewhat unreasonable, even someone as smart as Alicia is really puzzled.

Not to mention others.

After all, when it comes down to it, the question of why birds fly... seems a bit abrupt.

“Maybe this symbolizes what Kevin is after?”

"What are you pursuing? To be as free as a bird, or to be like a bird...looking down on all living things?"

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated across.

At this moment, everyone knew that this was a very important issue for Kevin.

However, the profound significance of this question is changing dynamically.

"——But I can't. When I try to solve the problems of this era, I also need to use the ideas of this era."

Facing the dying philosopher, Kevin, who was like a god, did not look down on him from a superior position.

Instead, he faced this old man who was like a candle in the wind with a calm attitude...

"Anyway, I recognize your wisdom. I also recognize your narrow-mindedness. I have thought about the questions you raised and have come up with my own answers. But now I want to know..."

Kevin raised his questions decisively, which was why he did not miss any of the old man's speeches.

"As the pinnacle of human wisdom over the past century, after a lifetime of thinking, what answer can you give?"

"......Answer?"

Kevin's serious question made the old man a little surprised and confused.

As his life was not coming to an end, he did not know what questions he needed to answer at this moment.

“Why do birds fly?”

In the man's eyes, the old man had a confused look on his face - no one could think about one problem for a whole life.

Just as Kevin himself is a special case, no one else can support himself to live a long life with such a simple starting point like him.

But no matter what, the old man did remember what he said when he was young.

"...because they want to fly."

The dying philosopher once again gave the same answer.

"But that's impossible."

However, Kevin denied it.

"This is just the wishful thinking of romantics. I have the same idea - the desire to transcend "childhood". But I can't do it just because I want to. "

"So...what do you think?"

The dying philosopher was not dissatisfied with being refuted. In fact, for him now, debate was no longer necessary.

“Because they have to fly.”

It was about three thousand years before Kevin finally controlled the power of the end. But by then, he had already given his answer.

When the doomsday meteorite falls in the Cretaceous period, only free birds can escape their inevitable destruction.

Kevin's words were so advanced that they could even be said to be far ahead of their time, so much so that the philosopher could no longer understand what he was saying.

But philosophers have their own opinions on his statement.

"I don't understand what you are saying. But I can see that... you seem to believe that the fittest survive, that the outcome will be the touchstone of everything, and that victory is justice."

"Well... young man, before I die, I will give you one last sermon."

At the end of his life, the philosopher told Kevin a story, a myth, about what happened to a man named Icarus.

The reason he told this story was to let Kevin know.
