Explaining to Artemis about the Gods, the world, the multiverse and so on was a rather troublesome matter. Of course, the biggest difficulty wasn't how to make her believe in the existence of the Gods and understand the principles of parallel universes. After experiencing so many inconceivable things, this girl's ability to accept things had already reached an inconceivable level. Basically, she would calmly believe whatever we said. The biggest difficulty was …
How to make her associate us, who hadn't escaped yet, with the aforementioned amazing background information that could be written in millions of words in a novel. Especially when the two Gods had just recently eaten together with her in the school's cafeteria, this was obviously too inconceivable for her.
Fortunately, this problem was perfectly solved after Monina and Eersson both ascended.
"Ascended …"
Outside the gymnasium, Artemis stared blankly at the gradually closing spatial whirlpool above her, her expression lifeless.
On the other hand, I was reflecting on the comparison between Monina's Dark Wings and Eersson's Holy Wings and my own Angel. Which was prettier?
"Brother Monarch, the wings are bound to you, they can't be traded …"
Sensing her brother's thoughts, Alaya immediately spoke timidly in my mind. From her voice, it sounded like she was worried that one day, I would have a sudden impulse to pluck off her wings and replace them with a new pair.
Tsk, who would be so foolish? Equipment with wings these days are already so expensive, wouldn't I have dyed them?
"Blockhead, you're crossing the lines too far!" As the above thoughts were carried out in the public channel, it wasn't unexpected for Lin Xue to hear the strange conversation between me and Alaya. Miss Lin, who was already somewhat immune to the strangeness of the topic we were discussing, couldn't help but complain.
"Tsk, suddenly seeing two different sets of wings, can't you let me be jealous and envious?" I glanced at Lin Xue, who was tidying up her hair. "By the way, you're such a great prophet, why didn't you think that you would be hanging from a tree when you set the coordinates?"
Lin Xue immediately bared her teeth and waved her fist at me. "You still dare to say that! Do you think it's easy to come out from a dangerous place like the encrypted half plane! You saw me hanging from a tree and didn't know how to carry me down!? "
Carry your sister! Do you want me to let you curse me to death after hugging you?
"Artemis, go back and gather your companions." The elder sister smiled at us, shook her head, and turned to the blonde girl with a ponytail who was still in a daze. "Although I don't know what kind of trouble will occur during the mounting process, it is still necessary to take some precautions."
"Then … what about you?"
"We have to make some preparations. After all, our main goal isn't to save all of you but to get rid of a bigger threat." I chuckled as I connected with the shadow city. "Sandora, you should have finished transferring the information we gave you, right?"
"The Bubble is being analyzed. You guys have really gained a lot this time." Sandora's voice sounded a little envious. "Maybe we should thank the mastermind behind this."
"Let's talk about it after everything succeeds," I replied before hanging up the call.
Artemis had already left, and she couldn't wait to gather her classmates. When the elder sister told her that we had found a possible way to save them from their nightmare, this girl who had always been calm was so emotional that she almost shed tears. Even though she had calmed down after leaving the half plane, there was no doubt that even more intense emotions would be completely released when she faced her companions. It was better for us not to participate in that kind of scene.
"Lass Lin, why do you think those fallen apostles stole a World Management Terminal?"
As I slowly walked towards the old residential area, I suddenly thought of this question and couldn't help but ask curiously. As a prophet, even if there were some things that couldn't be predicted, Lin Xue would usually rely on her mysterious senses to make her own deductions. Once those vague things were successfully explained, they would basically become the truth.
"Who knows …" Lin Xue first pouted and said, but I knew that she definitely had more to say. "The World Management Terminal is exclusively used by the Protoss. The world arbitration organization used by the Schilling people is a completely incompatible system with that kind of terminal. The fallen apostles have no use for that thing at all. Maybe they have a hobby of collecting?"
Don't you think that this kind of collecting direction is really too bizarre?
"Blockhead, do you still remember what Visca said back then, about a certain mysterious and grand overall plan of the fallen apostles?"
I recalled for a moment, and then a sentence suddenly flashed across my mind. "… They don't just want to destroy … They want to destroy the world in a ritual-like process …"
"Ritual-Like?" I said a phrase that left a deep impression in my memory. I didn't know why, but this phrase was rather clear in my memory. It was because of this keyword that I recalled what Visca said.
"Directly attacking the World Management Terminal to destroy the world, this is undoubtedly a huge risk. Even if they grasp the method to break through the barrier of the demiplane, it is still dangerous." Lin Xue directly closed her eyes and used her ability to sort out the future that was faintly becoming clearer as she slowly walked forward. "But if in order to complete that ritual, this world must be destroyed through the method of 'destroying the core'. Perhaps that would explain why they would use such a method to destroy the world, and … Ah!"
As expected, she tripped … Who told you not to look where you were going! Did you really think that your insight was unrivalled? Alaya's eyes could release a hundred thousand volts, so wouldn't she still trip while walking on flat ground?
However, with Lin Xue's previous complaints, I didn't choose to watch from the sidelines this time. I took a step forward and pulled the young lady who was about to fall to the ground. In the end, the latter's face turned red all the way to her neck.
"Mistake! It's just a small mistake! " Lin Xue waved her hands awkwardly. Then, as if to vent her anger, she turned her head to look for the culprit that tripped her just now: a section of reinforced concrete barrier that was buried in the ground.
"Bam!!!"
A loud sound and dust filled the air. The reinforced concrete barrier shattered into pieces.
"Err … You can continue what you wanted to say just now …" Looking at Lin Xue's sudden violent action, I hurriedly tried to think of a way to divert her attention. If this lass suddenly realizes that the scene of her crashing into my arms was witnessed by her big sister and the others, wouldn't she immediately kick me away?
At this moment, I could see that Lin Xue, who had always been a shrewd person, was occasionally slow to react. Look at the Shallow Shallow who was usually carefree. Now, even she knew how to pinch my waist from behind …
"Although everything is still very blurry, some things that are slightly more accurate have surfaced." Lin Xue said with a huff. However, she no longer paid attention to the momentary awkwardness. "I have been seeing some rather strange scenes. Those things are related to the Fallen Apostle's ultimate goal. The information I obtained today should have filled in a crucial gap in my understanding of the future. There are two fragments that have become clear. First, they are collecting something. However, 'that thing' is merely a blurry shadow in the prophecy. Based on my experience, it is either because someone is interfering, preventing me from being able to see the relevant scene, or that thing is uncertain. Depending on the direction of events, it will appear in a different state. I feel that the possibility of the second possibility is higher. After all, the Fallen Apostle isn't able to confirm every single thing that I want to prophesy about. Using powerful energy interference to prevent me from prying, they will inevitably waste a large amount of energy."
They are collecting something? Will it include a World Management Terminal?
"God knows." Faced with my conjecture, Lin Xue didn't directly refute it for the first time. "If it is a grand plan of the entire Fallen Apostle, it is impossible to guess too much from just one or two blurry fragments. However, my intuition tells me that Blockhead has guessed correctly."
"Then … What about the second fragment?"
As for what the Fallen Apostle wanted the Protoss to use the World Management Terminal for, this was a topic that no one would be able to figure out in a short amount of time. What I was concerned about was whether Lin Xue had seen something even more important. When confronting a deadly enemy hidden in the shadows, even a random sentence from a prophet could become a bargaining chip that decided victory.
Of course, the weather forecast for the next day didn't count.
"This prophecy is a little special. Its future direction will be affected the moment I speak it." Lin Xue seemed to be rather hesitant about the second fragment she saw. She hesitated for a moment before turning her gaze towards her big sister and the others. "Only Blockhead can hear it."
"There is such a requirement?" Shallow Shallow looked suspiciously at Lin Xue's serious expression. "Really?"
"You should have some understanding of the uncertainties of the future, right? You should be able to find out to what extent the butterfly effect can be magnified if you try to deduce the flow of time, "Lin Xue said solemnly." Don't worry. Even though I can't tell you about this prophecy, you can ask Blockhead yourself in the future. In any case, he will tell you everything he knows. "
Shallow Shallow still seemed to be a little doubtful, but her big sister still chose to focus on the bigger picture. She pulled Shallow Shallow and Liliana, who was planning to disguise herself as a cactus on the cement floor to stay behind and cause trouble, leaving Lin Xue and me standing on the empty campus path.
"Blockhead, protect yourself."
Lin Xue was silent for a few seconds. Then, she suddenly spoke in a tone that I had never heard from her before. She lowered her head slightly so that I couldn't see her expression. However, from her serious and … concerned tone, I seemed to hear something else.
"Erm … You can't be saying that the death omen on my head is flashing, right?"
I said half-jokingly. This girl had brought up the topic of 'the twinkling death omen star' quite a few times. Every time, she would purposely create a creepy atmosphere and then announce that the death omen star on my head was twinkling. She used this opportunity to extort a bunch of toys from me — enough Xi Ling toys for her to dismantle for a few days.
"I'm not joking." Lin Xue said seriously. "You are the first target of the enemy, or you are the one who poses the greatest threat to them. I can't be sure which of these two guesses is correct, or perhaps both are correct. In that half plane, I saw an extremely disturbing metaphor. Killing you has even become a part of their grand plan. Blockhead, can you be more serious! They are using the same serious attitude as if they were destroying the world to formulate a plan to attack you! "
I was stunned for a moment. Of course, I wouldn't doubt the words of this lass. It could be said that ever since Lin Xue became our companion, as long as she said her prophecies seriously, she had never been wrong before.
"Oh, I got it. So?"
Many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, but in the end, I replied with an indifferent reply.
"Blockhead!!" Lin Xue didn't know why she suddenly exploded, "Are you listening to me!? Do you know how much effort I had to put in to clarify this metaphor that has been flashing in my mind for a long time!? Every step of their plan is to get rid of you! You are always like this, always lazy, unmotivated, indifferent to everything, no goals, no motivation, no plans, just eating … "
Lin Xue's venting words came to an abrupt end because I suddenly pressed my hand heavily on her hair.
"Ah, yes, you are right." I smiled and knocked on the head of the confused missy twice. "But so what? How do you think I should deal with the possible attack of the enemy? Find a hole to bury myself in? Wait until next spring to turn into a pile of wood? "
Lin Xue was speechless.
"As the leader of the remaining forces of the Xi Ling Empire, it is only natural that the Fallen Apostles place you at the top of their list of targets. Even if you don't say it, I know this. The Fallen Apostles are not fools. They would not ignore such an obvious threat and allow it to grow stronger. From the very beginning, I knew that I had definitely been targeted by them. Furthermore, I had no intention of running away. So, it doesn't matter whether your prophecy is true or not … Hmm, it is still somewhat useful. At the very least, we now know one thing: I may pose a great threat to the Fallen Apostles as a whole. This threat is so great that they could include me in their plans to destroy the world. This is good news. Perhaps it can provide us with a direction for our future operations. In summary, your prophecy only brought me good news.
In summary, your prophecy only brought me good news, do you understand? "" Blockhead … "Lin Xue stared at me blankly. The usually astute missy was now a little silly. Then, she suddenly reacted and slapped away a certain someone's big hand that had been rubbing her head for a long time." You really are a monster … Forget it. Since you aren't completely stupid, then I won't waste my feelings on you! "
After leaving behind such a "ruthless remark," Lin Xue angrily turned around and walked forward. She seemed to be very imposing, but the premise was that you ignored the fact that this girl was obviously a little flustered in her footsteps.
She really is a hopeless tsundere.
Although such a thought flashed through my mind, I still quickened my pace and followed her.
In the small square in front of the old building, about twenty "Awakeners" had already gathered together under Artemis's leadership. She should have already informed these people of the general situation. Of course, she probably couldn't explain some technical details that no one understood. But from the "Awakeners'" gazes that were filled with anticipation, excitement, and even more doubt and confusion, I could be sure that Artemis had already informed her companions as much as she could understand.
When the big sisters saw me and Lin Xue appear, they immediately stepped forward to welcome us. Shallow Shallow was the first to jump forward and curiously moved in front of me. "Ah Jun, Ah Jun! What did Lin Xue say to you? "
"Nothing much. It's just that the Fallen Apostle really wants to kill me."
I said nonchalantly.
"Ah!!" Shallow Shallow immediately cried out in alarm. Then, she looked around nervously, as if a Terminator would jump out from the bushes to assassinate the leader of the human resistance at any time.
"Ah Jun, what's going on?" The big sister frowned. My nonchalant tone and the explosive truth contained in my words made her rather concerned.
"Alright, don't be nervous." I knocked on Shallow Shallow's head to stop her silly action of looking for an assassin. "Lin Xue is just being overly sensitive. Think about it, when did the Fallen Apostle not want to kill me?"
Shallow Shallow was stunned for a moment before she nodded. "Oh, that's true."
Hey! Even if this is the truth, don't accept it so easily! Can you at least have a bottom line when you're so heartless!?
"Don't worry. Boss's life is as tough as a cockroach. He won't die." Liliana raised a lollipop as she walked over unsteadily. "The connection to the World Tree has been completed. The Bubble has also loaded the last batch of preset data. Aren't you going to say a few words before we begin?"
I looked in the direction that Liliana was pointing at and met Hu Wen's and the others' gazes that were asking for an explanation.
"Yo!" Subconsciously, I grinned at them and raised my hand in greeting.
"Yo your sister!" Liliana jumped up and knocked her head against my chin. "Ah … Ouch …"
Liliana's head against the Emperor's chin. The former was defeated once again. Does this brat really think that she is Pandora? If she wants to use her head against me, she has to see if she has the ability to smash through the armor of a battleship!
"Artemis should have already told you about the situation." Facing Hu Wen and the others' inquisitive gazes, I didn't know where to start. "In short, we will settle everything. Although it is a little early to say this, after the deduction of the central computer, the success rate is 100%."
"Who are you? Aren't you the Awakeners here? "
Hu Wen still felt that it was a little unbelievable. In their impression, although these people in front of them had a unique personality, they were still a group of newcomers who had recently joined the Awakeners team. The juniors who needed them to lead the way a few days ago had suddenly become the saviors of the world. The development of the plot was hard for them to accept.
"Well, you can call us the Salvation Army," Liliana replied vaguely as she chewed on her lollipop.
"No! It is Boundless Love! We are the special agents of the super universe public welfare organization, Boundless Love! "Shallow Shallow pressed down on Liliana's head and retorted firmly.
Lin Xue looked around and raised her hand innocently. "Actually, I feel that I am a senior officer of the human's superpower group …"
I spread my hands. "I thought that we were all leaders of Schilling."
The big sister realized that everyone's gazes fell on her head again. She quickly turned her head away. "I am a nanny. I will not participate!"
