Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Memories of the future once again surfaced in my mind.

......

【Get out of our world! 】

In the burning city ruins, some people whose faces could not be seen roared at Sieg.

......

[I'm sorry, Sieg, I know you're doing this for our own good, but your actions will only bring us destruction... So, please die.]

In the midst of a sea of ​​blood and corpses with heavy snow all over the sky, someone whose face could not be seen clearly pulled the trigger at Zieger.

......

[How far do you want to go in changing our world? Don't force your will on us!]

It seemed that in a dim castle, a large group of people whose faces could not be seen were venting their anger at Sieg who was sitting on the throne.

......

(What are these memories?)

Zieg couldn't help but cover his face.

(These memories are... my future self...)

Fragments of memory washed over Sieg's mind and consciousness, and at the same time, under the astonished gaze of the three True Ancestors—

"—————————!"

Boundless darkness suddenly spread out from under Sieg's feet.

Or would it be more appropriate to say that it overflowed?

The vast darkness gushed out continuously like magma and mudslide, submerging the entire Whispering Courtyard in an instant, and completely swallowing up this strange space between day and night into endless darkness!

Then——

[Future information backflow detected, starting to implement solution number one]

In front of Sieg, a Rubik's Cube crystal that seemed to be composed of dozens of cubes of different sizes quietly appeared, and a mechanical sound without any emotion, like an electronic synthesized sound, sounded in the darkness.

The Dragon Slayer System appeared in front of Sieg again.

113. Salvation is the same as destruction

Where is this place?

The moment they reacted, the three True Ancestors had the same doubts.

Looking at the Dragon Slayer System that appeared in front of him, Sieg held it up gently with his hand: "...Explain, Dragon Slayer System. What's going on?"

【learn】

[In short, this is the side effect of your advance payment of the future, Contractor]

The Dragon Slayer System is explained.

[You borrowed the power of this system to defeat the powerful enemy that you cannot defeat on Earth 52, and borrowed the power of your future self nearly a hundred years later. Along with that power, part of your future self's memory was transmitted to you across time and space.]

"I know that, but those memories just now are..."

Sieg merely frowned.

[Those memories just now also belong to the future]

[Since the time span is too long and future information should not be leaked excessively to individuals in the present time, this system cannot make too specific explanations, but it is certain that the memory just now is the embodiment of the emotions of the future contractor.]

Emotional...manifestation?

Sieg thought back to the memories he had just had: "What did my future self... do?"

[Destroy the planet to kill the dragon]

The Dragon Slayer System said.

[Based on the content of the memory, this can be confirmed. But judging from the results, this action brought disaster to several planets and caused the civilization on the planets to completely collapse. Therefore, the future contractor has been hostile and abandoned by friends and lovers many times.]

[The future contractor felt heartache and regret about this - the memory just now is the embodiment of this kind of emotion]

Did he destroy the planet in order to slay the dragon?

Perhaps along with Sieg's thoughts, those fragments of memory once again appeared in front of Sieg, showing him the scenes that he might experience in the future.

On a planet attacked by an unknown life form - a dragon - Sieg suddenly arrived and was regarded as a savior by the native humans on the planet because he was able to defeat the dragon. Based on the purpose of the Dragon Slayer System, he accepted the invitation of the local humans and began to assist in slaying the dragon.

He kept killing dragons. He kept killing dragons. With the continuous efforts of him and his comrades, the dragons were killed one after another. However, the dragons seemed to be endless. The more dragons he killed, the stronger the next one would be.

Sieg continued to kill dragons, and he became the only one who could fight against dragons. But the increasingly powerful dragons made him gradually unable to care about others, until later, every time he killed a dragon, it would lead to the destruction of one or even several cities.

In the end, while destroying the last and strongest "Dragon", the aftermath of Sieg's battle with the dragon also destroyed the last human refuge on the planet.

After the war, the native humans who had lost their homeland and everything stood on the ruins of the city and roared in grief and anger at Sieg, who had saved and destroyed their planet at the same time.

[God! You are also a dragon! You are the Dragon God who came to destroy us! ]

"..."

The contents of the memory made Sieg and the three True Ancestors fall silent.

And this was just one of the memory fragments. There were dozens of fragments with similar content in front of Sieg.

After quietly looking at the scene in his memory for a while, Sieg finally let it all go: "I'm a little depressed after seeing this... Is this information alluding to my current situation?"

Although Sieg was stupid, he could understand what these scenes meant.

[What I thought was protection and salvation might be equivalent to destruction for others around me]

[The self that I have always wanted to uphold and the will that I think is right sometimes lead to destruction]

In a sense, the situation that the future Sieg will face is the same situation that the present Sieg will soon face.

The Dragon Slayer System flickered slightly in Sieg's hand—

[This system will not interfere excessively with the contractors except for destroying dragons]

[If the contractor has no objection to these future memories that are excessively backflowing, this system will conduct unified control in the future to prevent the future from excessively affecting the present]

"Well...it's troublesome."

【Everything is to kill the dragon】

Buzz~~~~~~!

A soft light emanated from the Rubik's Cube crystal in Sieg's hand.

The boundless darkness melted like ice and snow the moment it was illuminated by the light, and quickly faded away along with a large number of memory fragments. The scene around Sieg turned back into the Whispering Courtyard in an instant.

The three True Ancestors who were still sitting on the chairs in front of the broken round table did not come back to their senses until this moment.

"It really is an incredible sight for us to see."

Jiada said in a deep voice.

"That was... forced sharing of the spiritual realm? But a spell that can pull all three of us in... doesn't exist in my knowledge."

"Indeed, it seems that our alien visitor still has many secrets." The First True Ancestor also had a serious expression, "But let's put this matter aside for now - from what happened just now, it seems that this kid has nothing to do with the Celestial Tribe or the Dragon Clan? And he is a dragon who massacred the dragon clan?"

"It seems... yes."

The Second True Ancestor stared at Sieg: "So, you mean...remove?"

"Then we will become a laughing stock~~~" The First True Ancestor spread his hands, "Besides, after seeing what happened just now, you should have some ideas, right, kid?"

The first true ancestor said the second half of the sentence to Sieg.

Sieg looked at him wordlessly, then suddenly took a deep breath and slapped his face with both hands!

"Crack! Crack!"

The loud sound of slapping someone in the face echoed in the whispering courtyard.

After wiping away all the strangeness in his eyes and face, Sieg looked at the three True Ancestors: "I do have some ideas... Maybe my teacher and companions have always told me to make my own decisions, and I am a little too arbitrary."

"I am not always right. Sometimes the self-will I carry out brings bad consequences. Does that seem to be the case this time?"

It is easy and difficult to carry out your will.

Taking the current situation as an example, if Sieg still intends to carry out his will, then the situation may evolve into a world-scale war.

Sieg himself certainly doesn't care about war. In the end he will not lose anyway. But for the friends he met on this planet, war is definitely not what they want to see.

"Honestly, I don't like this."

"Considering others, taking into account other people's feelings, and twisting my own will for others... I don't like this very much, but for the stable life I want, this seems to be necessary?"

(It’s different.)

Jada noticed something.

(This kid's way of thinking has changed compared to before?)

(It's like it changed from a chariot that only knew how to rush forward to a chariot that could turn?)

"I am not going to just accept your request and leave here. As you can see, I have nothing to do with the Celestial Tribe or the Dragon Clan."

"But you don't intend to cancel all your current preparations and lose face. To be honest, in my opinion, face is worthless, especially for old people like you. Each of you has an unbelievable amount of face."

"So, let's compromise."

compromise?

Jiada raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the compromise?"

"Half a year."

Zig said.

"I originally planned to continue living on this planet for about two years, but now I will shorten it to half a year. After half a year, I will leave in a way that everyone on this planet will know."

"And in order to avoid you losing face, I will go with you first, and then return to Genkami Island in secret - this is the biggest concession I can make. If you can't accept this, then I am happy to use force to defeat this world."

The three True Ancestors looked at each other.

Finally, the First True Ancestor nodded slightly and said, "Then it is decided. You will be received by the War King Domain at that time. And in a week at most, we will let you go back to Genshin Island."

"[The War King Domain and the Outer Space Visitors have reached a settlement and formed a cooperative relationship] - it will be announced at that time."

"Actually, I'd rather beat up all three of you."

Sieg snorted coldly, "You're really out of your mind to make such a big scene just because of an unconfirmed misunderstanding. Can I beat you all up right now?"

"If you don't mind, I can fight you in a duel when we get to the War King's Domain. It'll be my apology." The First True Ancestor smiled. "But please be gentle when you do that. The body of a vampire can be very fragile - Jiada is an exception."

"Don't worry, I'll tear your head off."

114. See you again in 65 years

In the living room of Zieger's house.

Ten minutes after Zieg sat on the chair.

"Well......"

Slowly opening his eyes, Sieg returned from the Whispering Courtyard and hummed softly, slowly regaining his perception of this world.

On the side, seeing Sieg waking up, Edwards and others hurried over.

"How did it turn out? Sieg."

"...I guess it's a deal."

Standing up from the chair, Sieg stretched his inexplicably stiff body and briefly explained what happened in the Whispering Courtyard to the people in his living room.

As people in the living room listened to Zieg's retelling, their expressions switched back and forth several times between surprise, surprise, fear and tension.

till the end--

"——You actually made such a peaceful decision?"
