I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

Icarus seemed to feel his head hitting something soft, his body seemed to be hugged, and there was a gentle voice in his ear, but it seemed that he could not refuse, abandon, deny, or betray.

"That's not something you should know, Ikaros."

"Wait for me a little longer, okay? We will meet at the end of the world and time..."

"——Just like those eternal twin stars."

Chapter 180: Ena: Today, someone needs to take over for a day...

"So..., the real body won't be able to wake up today?"

In the spiritual space, the Grand Duke, dressed in Victoria's gold-inlaid noble clothing, looked at Ikaros who was wrapped in Originium crystals, and his eyes turned to Ena beside him.

“…Although I don’t want to admit it, it’s true.” The little loli with black hair and blue eyes looked a little depressed, but it was the fact.

She really had no choice.

On the side, Tao, wearing a black and gold cheongsam, leaned over and knocked on the crystal that wrapped around Ikaros like a crystal tube. After a brief thought, he asked,

"Little Ena, do you have a way to break this crystal and awaken the consciousness of the original body?"

"...Sorry, I can't do it, or rather, I don't dare to do it." Ena was silent for a moment, sighed, and shook her head.

"Why?" Tao didn't quite understand. She had discovered that the original body's consciousness was bound by the crystal, which led to the original body's sleep.

Then as long as the crystal is shattered, the consciousness of the main body will naturally wake up. As for the side effects and dangers, Tao has already considered them. She is confident that Ena can do such a thing without hurting Ekaros, even if she is a residual image at this moment.

The Grand Duke raised her eyebrows and wanted to say something, but when she thought about the gap in strength and authority between herself and Tao, she gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

It is an indisputable fact that Tao is stronger than her.

So it is normal for the other party to discover things that they cannot see.

You know, in the eyes of the Grand Duke at this moment, the Originium crystal that wrapped Ikaros looked like a simple crystal coffin made of Originium.

Apart from that, she couldn't see anything else.

Master of Originium Technique ≠ I am familiar with Originium.

This is the Archduke’s helplessness, but it is also the cruel reality.

Moreover, in the era of the Grand Duke, people knew very little about the understanding and application of Originium.

After hearing Tao's question, Ena reluctantly told him the reason. In fact, she had also thought about following Tao's idea, but considering the unknown consequences, she gave up.

"I have thought about doing that, but these Originiums are clearly bound to Ikaros' soul. They are the consciousness that spreads from the original Originium in Ikaros' body. If these Originium crystals are forcibly shattered, it is very likely to cause an inestimable impact on Ikaros' soul."

"I don't dare to gamble. After all, these crystals will only last for one day at most. If nothing goes wrong, Ikaros will wake up tomorrow, so... I'm sorry."

Looking at Ikaros sleeping peacefully and breathing evenly, wrapped in the Originium crystals, like Sleeping Beauty.

Ena spoke with some guilt, as if she was apologizing to the afterimages around her, and also as if she was apologizing to Ekaros who was surrounded by crystals.

She was indeed too weak and powerless.

Nothing can be done...

"I see. In this case, it is better to be careful." Tao nodded in understanding after learning the details. There was really no other way to deal with this situation.

There was a way to get Ikaros back safely, and they really shouldn't consider taking the risk.

But soon, new problems arose.

"By the way, if the original body's consciousness needs to sleep for a day before waking up, then how should the reality be dealt with?" The Grand Duke, who had been silent for a long time, pinching his chin, suddenly asked an extremely sharp question.

Everyone in the spiritual space fell into a strange silence for a moment.

Yes.

The original body has fallen into a deep sleep, so what should happen to the original body in reality?

We can't just leave it there, if we do that Icarus' body will remain unconscious for a day. Not to mention anything else, the reaction of Arturo and his group would probably be enough to cause trouble for Icarus when he wakes up the day after tomorrow.

So... this problem has to be dealt with by everyone present.

"Well, this is indeed a problem. Ikaros's current body must not be unconscious for a day, otherwise there will be big trouble." Ena nodded in agreement with the question raised by the Grand Duke, and then looked at the Grand Duke and Tao, who seemed to have thought of something and made a suggestion.

"How about one of you two choose to control Ikaros' body for a day?"

This is undoubtedly the best solution to the problem of Ikaros's unconsciousness. In fact, Ena originally wanted to control Ikaros's body, but after considering the problem of the compatibility between soul and body, she gave up.

And put this opportunity in front of the Grand Duke and Tao.

And this... obviously made the originally peaceful atmosphere silently filled with the smell of gunpowder.

After all, it is a chance to keep the original body for one day.

I would like to ask everyone here, who has not had this idea?

Although they do not desire to replace their own original bodies and become the dominant force in this body, as extensions of Ikaros' different desires, they are originally one with Ikaros and are destined to be one.

They are absolutely loyal to Ikaros, but no matter how loyal they are, they cannot hide their desires.

Therefore, after hearing Eina's words, both the Grand Duke and Tao had the idea of ​​recommending themselves. Only Agor, who was possessed by Skadi, had no opinion on this because he was not there at the moment.

Otherwise, it would most likely turn into a chaotic three-way fight for control of Ikaros' body for one day.

However... although only Pride (Grand Duke) and Gluttony (Tao) are fighting for this control.

However, the undercurrent of gunpowder and subtle hostility also temporarily filled the spiritual space with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

The two people with extremely similar faces looked at each other.

The Grand Duke from Victoria and the Dark Side of the Year from Dayan stood on opposite sides for the first time.

However, in this silent confrontation, the Grand Duke was clearly not at an upper hand. After all, compared to Tao, she was just a mortal, even though she had the title of "Ruler of the Victorian Sky".

But the Grand Duke had no intention of backing down or yielding. Her pride would not allow her to compromise, her family's honor would not allow her to retreat, and her self-esteem and feelings for Theresa would not allow her to retreat before she was completely defeated.

She must seize this opportunity, otherwise if Taohe's plan of reproduction succeeds.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for the main body to walk with Theresa anymore.

As the embodiment of Ikaros's arrogance, she absolutely could not accept that!

Even if he has to endure the terror of the soul's fighting power brought about by the pressure from the dark side of the years, the Grand Duke will never back down.

She ultimately wanted to meet Theresa of this world in person and send her back to her real body.

Only in this way, can she, as a proud person, be able to become a part of Ekaros with complete peace of mind after completing her obsession.

The same is true for gluttony and reproduction.

“…Forget it. I’ll let you do it this time, Grand Duke.” After a long time, when the Grand Duke was about to collapse, Tao still reluctantly withdrew his pressure and gaze.

He felt a little sad, but thinking back to the Grand Duke's stubborn eyes and persistence, Tao finally gave up this opportunity.

She has a lot of cards in her hand and has played a lot of games.

But the Grand Duke obviously did not have much capital.

"Huh...thank you." Feeling the pressure disappear, the Grand Duke breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned forward slightly to express his gratitude.

She knew very well that if the other party insisted on snatching this opportunity from her, then she would definitely not be able to defeat Tao, who was the dark side of Year and possessed these twelve fragments of authority.

"It's okay. We are all family after all. We will meet each other sooner or later. Besides, you know that I don't need this card." Tao smiled and shook his head in response to the Duke's thanks, but then his expression gradually became a little more serious. His cute little face pretended to be fierce and said:

"But there won't be a next time. After all, I have what I want."

"You must seize this rare opportunity, Grand Duke."

The Duke knew that Tao was doing this for her own good and was reminding her, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I will seize this rare opportunity."

As he spoke, a rare gentle smile appeared on the Grand Duke's cold face, like a rose blooming in the severe cold, with a unique charm different from the smile of a kind mother.

I just don't know how much of this smile is gratitude to Tao, and how much is anticipation for meeting Theresa soon.

"Come on, may you return victorious, Archduke."

Tao clasped his hands together in front of his chest and gave his blessing with a smile.

Anyway, she didn't expect Ekalos to become the exclusive youngest sister of the Sui family compound.

One more Theresa is too much, and one more group of deep-sea hunters is too much.

It doesn't matter. Tao doesn't really care about the order of priority or whether she is the first wife or not.

After all, given her current situation, she is destined to have a harem.

Therefore, as long as my sisters can fulfill their wishes and I can live a happy life, it is enough.

There is no need to fight to the death for so-called status and priority.

That is meaningless to Tao.

Just don't lose.jpg

"You too, Tao." The Grand Duke returned the sincere blessing with a sincere smile, then looked at Ena and said with his red lips: "Ahem, Ena, you see, Tao gave me this opportunity."

"So... next, can you let me take care of your body for a day? I promise I won't do anything that Ikaros would consider excessive!"

The Grand Duke's tone was rarely filled with excitement and agitation. As a noble of the Victorian Crown Banner, she should have always observed elegant etiquette, but she was too expectant.

In this regard, although Eina felt that the Grand Duke had some impure intentions, she considered that the Grand Duke was ultimately a part of Ekaros, and it could even be considered a subconscious reason.

Ena didn't refuse. "Okay, but remember to play the role of Icarus well, don't let Arturo and others get suspicious, and don't do anything out of line. Grand Duke, you should keep your promise just now, right?"

"Of course. I am a noble, and I am also Ikaros. Ikaros does not lie to Ikaros, and nobles abide by their promises. These are all natural." The Grand Duke nodded in agreement and made another assurance.

Ena nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, since you have promised me, I believe you will not let me down."

Ena has absolute trust in Ikaros, so this trust also extends to the Grand Duke and Tao, who are the subconscious incarnations of Ikaros.

However, Ena did not notice that when she looked at the Grand Duke with trust, the Grand Duke dodged for a moment, and that Tao not far away sighed slightly and there was a hint of helplessness in his gentle expression.

This child doesn't seem to be very smart.

At the same time, both the Grand Duke and Tao were thinking this in their hearts.

After all, although the Grand Duke did make a promise, Tao knew very well what the Grand Duke was thinking, and what the Grand Duke said in the first place was problematic.

What...'I promise not to do anything that would be considered excessive by Ikaros.''I am also Ikaros, and Ikaros does not lie to Ikaros.'

Ding Zhen, who had a gluttonous eye, figured out that the Duke was playing a word game.

She had originally been thinking about whether she should help smooth things over and fool Ena after the Grand Duke's word game was exposed.

But now it seems... Tao feels that he should find a way to get some basic parenting materials, and see if he can find an opportunity to educate Ena a little, so that one day in the future Ena won't be cheated by that 'Ikaros' and become completely destitute, which would be no fun.

But for now, let Ena maintain this "innocence".

Looking at Ena who was waving and saying goodbye to him with a smile, and the Grand Duke who had the same complicated expression as his, Tao also smiled helplessly, waved goodbye gently, and finally watched Ena and the Grand Duke disappear into the spiritual space together.

Then he looked helplessly at the sleeping Ikaros and shook his head with a little apology.

But then, a wicked smile appeared on Tao's face.

After all, it was interesting to have the Grand Duke go out. Although it was a pity that he couldn't go out, when it came down to it, if Tao was allowed to go out, there was actually nothing Tao could do now.

For a whole day, even if she tried her best to release her aura, she couldn't make her brothers and sisters come to her on time.

Maybe there is a chance, but meeting in a dream is something that I can also do in the spiritual space.

But the Grand Duke is different. Ikaros and his companions are now on the main ship Babel and the USS Rhodes Island. Based on the Grand Duke's temperament and words, Tao doesn't think that the Grand Duke from Victoria would not want to see the equivalent of the child he has chosen in this world.

Even though perhaps the simulation's impact on Theresa in reality was just a dream.

I don't think the Grand Duke will give up the idea of ​​meeting Theresa.

This is true even if I could only see Theresa from afar in the end.

Moreover, Tao had a hunch that Theresa's impact from the simulation would not be much less severe than that of her brothers and sisters.

So for the future.

She is really looking forward to it more and more.

This...is actually one of the most fundamental reasons why she would give the precious opportunity to the Grand Duke.

"You said so, original body."

"I guess you must be longing for and looking forward to the future when we all meet again and get to know each other."

Looking at the sleeping Ekalos, Tao murmured with a slightly sinister tone, and there was a hint of joy in the gentle smile on his face.
