"What kind of light is that?"
Opening her eyes wide, she locked firmly on the brilliance flashing from the distant sky. The curiosity surging deep in her heart overcame her decadence. Elma turned her head and watched the brilliance appear and disappear. After a moment of silence, She whispered to herself in confusion: "... Such a powerful force, even from such a distance that I can't estimate it. It's just a flash of light, and I feel trembling because of it... "
"This concentration of extraordinary power has never been heard of in all my life experiences. Even from such a distance, the feeling it gives me is stronger than the previous clone of the Great Emperor..."
On the other side, Kreller, who could also see the light, looked quite uneasy. After all, his strength was not strong, and he had not yet reached its peak. Compared to Elma, who felt it more deeply, the only thing he felt about the light was It's 'dangerous'.
However, when he saw that Elma finally began to respond to the outside world, instead of falling into decadence and isolation due to the actions of Emperor Amos, Creller immediately put aside that biological instinct. Instead of feeling a sense of danger, he quickly said to the other party: "Stop talking about this, that light makes me feel very dangerous - let's leave here quickly and go to a safer place!"
In Kreller's heart, even the dome of the King's Court was not considered safe. He wished that Elma would leave the King's Court as she had planned before and find a small, remote world to hide in—when the extreme plague was raging. During this period of time, the more prosperous the world star field is, the more unsafe it is because of the exchange of multiple information. On the contrary, the remote "countryside world" in the diverse galaxy will be relatively peaceful because of a pool of stagnant water.
Until then, whether it is waiting for Mycroft's rescue team in a remote world, or temporarily living in seclusion with Elma, it is better than staying in the royal court that seems to be at the center of the storm... What's more, there is another person here who seems to have an extremely bad personality. Emperor Amos, God knows when he will do something outrageous just because it is 'interesting'. After all, for a strong man of that level, the life and death of hundreds of billions of Amos people is just one Fun.
"This power..."
However, Elma did not move. Inside the battleship, a translucent female figure stared straight ahead of the bridge. She just whispered silently: "If I have this power... can I change anything?" ?”
-Don't be too greedy, Elma.
The voice belonging to Emperor Amos sounded in her mind again, but this time it was not the Emperor speaking again, but Elma's own memory. Recalling this sentence, she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, I am really greedy. , even if it is a fantasy, it is so unrealistic.”
"The light that spans time and space is extremely powerful. It must not be a fleeting fire, water without a source, or a tree without roots... It must be obtained by a strong person who has made up his mind and practiced hard over a long period of time. s things."
So, determination...
The foreign woman whispered to herself softly. She seemed to be lost in thought, which made the human captain beside her look helpless.
-Quietly, the wheel of emotion turns endlessly-
What stopped this wheel of silence was Kreller's voice of surprise, as if he had discovered something.
"Elma—look!"
Through spiritual connection, two people transmitting information to each other can share all the perceptions of both parties at the same time. This was originally a link made to facilitate communication due to language barriers, but now it can be used by Kreller to transmit a large amount of information. He excitedly showed the other party a piece of information obtained from the exchange system: "Look, the preventive measures against the extreme virus! Our Mycroft's strong man, the natural teacher 'Eydril Galanod' has developed We have a method that can temporarily prevent the spread of infection!"
"Look! The Extreme Virus is not invincible, it can be prevented! Your Excellency, the Natural Master, is still continuing to research and try to how to truly be immune to the Extreme Virus. This is of course difficult, but it is not impossible!"
Not noticing the increasingly bright light in the eyes of the woman beside him, the human captain was still talking excitedly, and there was a hint in Kreller's tone, 'Our Mrs. Mike Rowe's technical ability is the best in the world! 'I believe that as long as we wait a little longer, the real extreme virus vaccine will definitely be produced! Blessed is Mrs. McLord, and other races in the multiverse will also be saved!"
Listening to the other party's boasting about her race, Elma's expression changed from surprise and joy at the beginning to a hint of confusion. Her humanoid port blinked and asked the other party in confusion: "Krelle... you guys Has Mrs. McCrow always been so generous?”
"Strictly speaking, this method of prevention only pierces a layer of window paper. It is very simple as long as you know it. However, it will definitely take a very long time to implement it and create a preventive vaccine - Mrs. Mike Rowe You actually put this precious information in this public... exchange system and share it so selflessly?"
"of course!"
The doubts of the Amos people were not surprising. Although his expression was full of civilizational pride, Kreller still replied in a very serious tone: "However, this is not generosity - this is fighting!"
"This extreme virus, this ruthless and repetitive multiverse battle full of sudden deaths!"
"Since there is such a being that spreads extreme viruses for its own purposes and harms other intelligent life, then we must create a method to defend against it and spread it faster than the spread of the plague - only in this way, let Only when the main messenger fails to achieve his goal can the extreme virus be truly defeated!"
After saying this, Kreller felt that he seemed to be a little too excited. He scratched his head shyly, and then muttered in a low voice: "Everything in life is a battle-this sentence was said by the Generalissimo... I really I really want to become a person like the Generalissimo, so I bought several books of quotations, and just now I subconsciously imitated them... "
Naturally, Elma wouldn't think this was too much. She just looked into Kreller's determined eyes with eyes filled with complicated emotions.
A human being in his twenties, to the Amos people who have experienced hundreds of years of life, is as young as a child that has just been born, but even such a young man has such a level of determination— Although Kreiler seems to be an ordinary individual, he is like gold silent in the shadows. As long as the light comes, it can shine.
There is no doubt that he has the ability and potential to become a strong man.
"I see."
Suddenly, as if she had figured something out, Elma smiled, and she spoke softly, her expression and voice returning to life.
Kreiler was very happy to see the other party regaining his energy under the stimulation of this good news, but what the other party said next made him freeze in place.
"Using your own body to experience the extreme virus, and then calculate and create the relevant extreme virus resistance medicine? I have to say, it is really a good method, and I can definitely do it."
"Don't be so impulsive, right?! It's too dangerous!"
Hearing this, Krelle almost jumped up. He quickly tried to dissuade her: "No, Elma, the Nature Master is a legendary high-level powerhouse. According to your words, he is at least as good as a general - she can Completely isolate yourself from the impact of the extreme virus and create a vaccine-like blocking agent, but you can’t!”
"You are just barely able to withstand the extreme will of the virus. If you are not careful, it is definitely not impossible to be corroded - and there is absolutely no need to go to this point, right?!"
Regarding Krelle's rather excited attitude, Elma smiled softly. Her smile was calm, causing the human captain who originally wanted to say something to subconsciously close his mouth and stop talking.
"Crele, I know that to you, those Amos people who are suffering from the plague are just insignificant aliens, even the enemies who tried to expel and invade you before."
Standing up from the previous bone seat, Elma walked to the bridge window of her battleship. She looked into the void outside the window and said softly: "If I hadn't wanted to rebel and restored my body for you, , if I barely get a little recognition from you, you would rather die than help me, right?"
"That's right..." Kreller admitted with some difficulty: "But it's mainly because you did show goodwill, and..."
"But, Krelle, I finally figured it out just now." After interrupting the other party, Elma turned her head. She looked at the human in front of her and said with a serious expression: "The most primitive emotion that drives me to rebel is not It’s my hatred for Emperor Amos’ inaction, but my most sincere feelings for the people of Amos and the royal court.”
"I hate war and the endless killing of each other between the Amos and other races. Although I hate the Thakur people because of my acquired education and my own experience, but compared to hating them, I prefer the Amos People can live a happy and peaceful life. I hope that the emperor can truly love us, like a father, or a true ruler - if possible, I really hope that one day, in that case, we Amos people will It will be invincible and civilization can continue forever and ever.”
Unfortunately, that is impossible. As a creation of Emperor Amos, he will never take his toys seriously, so Elma can only show a regretful expression.
"I am truly sorry to be born an Amos...but I am also proud, just as you are proud to be Mrs. Macro."
"But..." Kreller seemed to want to say something, his expression was impatient, but before he could speak, Elma interrupted him: "Amos and Mrs. McLord are completely different races. - Even if I know the principle of blocking potion, I still have to test it myself and modify the details of this potion. Only by using my 'Amos man' body to do the same thing can I get perfect prevention. Potion.”
"Furthermore, unlike Mrs. Mycroft, we Amos people are actually very resistant to this kind of foreign virus. As long as we have preventive medicine as a buffer so that we can detect viruses invading our bodies, I think most of them No one in Amos would die so needlessly.”
"But there's no need to put yourself in danger!"
Hearing this, Krelle couldn't help it. He shouted to Elma: "Why don't you wait a few more days?! As long as you wait a few more days, maybe the natural teacher will even research a real vaccine." Come out—you are not a legend yet, this action is too dangerous!”
"But." Faced with Kreiler's doubts, Elma asked calmly: "What if a vaccine is not developed in these days?"
"Even if it is researched, what if it is not suitable for the Amos people to use?"
"Kreller, you know very well that the Extreme Virus is very advanced and is a creation of top extraordinary biochemical technology that surpasses ours for several generations. It is not difficult to prevent it through clever tricks, but it is not that simple to crack it - let alone."
Elma slowly approached Kreller. She stood in front of the human captain, very close to him, almost clinging to him. She said very seriously: "The words 'just a few days' on the lips, for those who are enduring For the people of the royal court, the extreme plague may result in the death of tens or hundreds of billions of people."
After finishing speaking, Elma raised her head and looked into the void outside the bridge. Her gentle eyes seemed to be able to see countless worlds in the entire royal court.
"I just now finally understood why I accomplished nothing in this long time... because I lacked a lot of things, I lacked strong strength."
At this point, she paused, and then said: "And the determination to sacrifice."
"In this multiverse, no one is the savior. However, just as you, 'Mrs. Mike Rowe', are willing to help all other civilizations obtain 'preventive medicine' and give seeds of hope everywhere, if each civilization helps each other, We will definitely make progress together.”
"But absolutely, absolutely cannot pray for someone's 'salvation' or place your hopes on others!"
"We must use our own hands to get our own tomorrow!"
She declared so firmly, her tone was sonorous and powerful.
At this moment, a purple-blue light lit up on Elma's body - the light shone brightly, and a ring between the tangible and the intangible appeared in her hand, condensing and forming on her finger!
But at this moment, Elma has completely understood.
[—Death!
I'm always afraid.
I am afraid of the impermanent emperor and the ruthless foreign enemies.
I am afraid of the lightless future of this multiverse, and I am afraid of a hopeless tomorrow.
I am even afraid of myself. I am afraid that without determination, I will not only be unable to change the world, but will also be changed by the world.]
—But now, I understand.
The fear comes from lack of determination, from the fact that I just want to rebel, escape, and use the most cunning method to try to gain hope.
All because I forgot about love.
"If today, I don't give everything to work hard - it's all mine, not the charity of the emperor, the mercy of others, and your help."
With that said, Elma stretched out her hand and gently stroked Kreller's face, which she didn't know what to do. She saw the human captain opening his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in this situation at this moment , but he had nothing to say.
So at this moment, the alien rebel smiled like he was aware of it: "If I don't try my best today, how can I wait for tomorrow with peace of mind?"
That's my decision.
At this moment, in Elma's humanoid hand, the purple-blue ring lit up with a brilliance called 'divine power'!
—The brilliance of determination shines! —
Its name is [Elma, the Ring Bearer of Determination]!
At the other end of time and space, where the stars are, one of the four rings of gods began to light up and began to respond. He detected his apostle, and an individual capable of carrying this emotion had been born in the distant place - so, he began There were cheers and huge waves of emotion.
Divine power roared, rushing toward the central battlefield—
And the bargaining chip of cause and effect has settled down.
