"Destination, Arc Galaxy, Transition Countdown, Three..."
The silver light of the dragon ray illuminated the universe, and the moment when the transition was started, it arrived in front of Opal. The silver giant swirled and rushed, grabbed the coffin transformed by the gluttonous, pressed it into his chest, and then rushed in. Yszul's light tier.
However, the gluttonous came faster than it, and suddenly hit the Zhenglong Ray from the side, interrupting its transition!
"Teacher!" Opal was struggling in the sea of time. He saw Lecter through the cabin window. Everything around him was glowing with red light. The red gradually turned into a crimson, and then everything was boundless golden as far as the eye could see.
"The jump countdown..."
"Damn." Rickett said angrily: "Forcibly jump!"
The voice of the dragon ray said: "Lecter, you must fight him, otherwise I will disintegrate during the leap, and both you and Opal will die."
Opal beat the coffin with all his might, trying to get out of the alloy cage. The power of belief around him was like a sea of anger. That was the craziest time he had ever seen in his life.
His handsome brows were sweaty, his eyes were full of pain and suffering, and he continued to penetrate the core of Iszur, fighting against gluttony in the blazing light and heat.
The gluttony followed behind the dragon ray like a shadow.
"Warning." Tao and Dragon Ray simultaneously issued a warning sound: "It is about to reach the central area of the thermonuclear, and the reaction of the energy furnace will be disturbed."
"Drink—" Rickett roared, the two Taikoo mechas collided, and a space shock wave burst out and swept out. Iszur trembled as if he had sensed this uneasy fluctuation!
The black iron giant punched the belly of the silver mecha, and the shock wave was transmitted to the operating room through the shell of the dragon ray. With a loud bang, the alloy cage flew out of the dragon ray's body!
Lecter knew that if he didn't solve Cororin today, he would not be able to save Opal. The two ancient gods rushed into the light bait area in the blink of an eye, and then burst out from the other side accompanied by flames that rushed for thousands of miles.
The dragon ray suddenly turned into countless rotating lights and sharp swords in the vast space, piercing through Iszur in an instant, and chasing after the gluttonous!
The two mechas hovered in the high-temperature stellar wind of Iszur, and the dragon ray turned into a phantom and retreated, but the gluttonous appeared in front of the black prison again as if guessing the enemy's next move, and they fought each other. , the shock set off a heat wave on the stars, and the mecha was blown away by the impact again!
After the Dragon Ray missed the second time, he no longer attacked rashly.
Coroline was silent and almost lonely in the dark space. After a long time, Rector said, "Give me the opal, he is useless to you."
Coroline: "You can't take him away. The cage holding him is part of gluttony."
Rickett roared: "If you don't hand him over, let us perish together in Iszur today! Let your galaxy be buried with us! Cororin!"
The dragon ray shook its silver wings and began to gather energy.
"Prepare for self-destruction mode." Long Ray said: "Farewell, Rector."
The high temperature surrounds the dragon ray, like a new star blooming in the universe, and the light keeps rising.
Cororin immediately said: "Teacher! Change the way! This is meaningless!"
Rickett said, "It's too late, Coroline."
"No!" Opal shouted, "Teacher!"
Coroline said: "No matter what the result of the test is, I will give him freedom! Opal! Listen! Now you are free!"
Rickett's eyes were full of sadness, and the light around the mecha gradually dimmed.
"The self-destruction mode is released." Dragon Ray's voice did not contain any emotion.
Lecter said: "Opal, the teacher apologizes to you, let go of those pasts, you no longer need to do anything for the Church of the Stars, for me, from today, your soul belongs to you only."
Cororin quietly watched Rect in space, which was like a shining star under the light of Iszur.
Corinthian said: "Then let's start, teacher, and the decisive battle is based on the field of belief."
Before the sound fell, a scene seemed to change between heaven and earth. It was a vast world and a lonely sea, and on the beach were thousands of meters of pitch-black cliffs and volcanoes flowing with lava.
Cororin's black robe fluttered wildly in the wind, the sky was divided into strange and distinct colors, the side belonging to Recht was overwhelmed by haze, thunder and lightning rolled in the clouds, and the side of the sky that enveloped Cororin showed magnificent The blood red, Iszur's brilliance broke through the clouds and sprinkled down!
It was as if the whole world had been slashed in two by the power of this belief!
Rickett's seawater domain rolled up a monstrous wave and pressed down on Cororin. Cororin's pupils reflected a tsunami like a collapse, and then his body turned into black fire and drifted in the wind.
Half sea, half fire.
Coroline scatters his fingers, the lava rolls, the fire that burns everything and the sea shakes, and the sky collapses!
The sea water is everywhere, it roars, rolls, and rushes down toward the ground endlessly, gathering into a vortex, but in the next loud noise, the fire barrier rising from the center of the vortex is closed, like a meteor. The flames turned into bright rays of light, penetrating the zenith in an instant!
Rickett's beliefs were immediately expelled and suppressed, the sea water evaporated, and the lava engulfed the entire spiritual world.
I still lose, Coroline, and in exchange for his freedom, I give up all right to be hostile to you.
Opal: No! not yet! teacher! Don't admit defeat!
In the next moment, the spiritual realm was shaken, and the strong were invaded by the third force of faith in the battle!
Coroline was shocked, and when he looked up, the sky was swept away, showing a clear night. In the dark universe, the stars were twinkling on the other side of the Milky Way.
Opal's young body floated in the solution, bent his knees, closed his eyes, his fingers were slightly apart, and pressed against the transparent hatch cover. The black space capsule rolled in the heat wave and gradually entered the high temperature of Iszur.
At that moment, countless white spots in the universe lit up with dazzling rays of light at the same time, just like the hundreds of billions of stars sang in unison at the moment of creation. In the real universe, where is the world of thought, countless shining white lines burst out from the vast stars, whistling and flying.
The meteor group on the zenith dragged the blood-red tail flame, and in just one second, thousands of meteorites fell to the ground with a rumbling noise. The lava was rolling, and Cororin's spiritual world tried its best to fight against it, but it was unable to resist the heavy blow from the boundless universe. Every meteorite crit brought an earth-shattering noise, covering the entire sky, earth, and ocean in this destruction. In the baptism of all anger.
"Ah ah-" Opal's voice resounded in the minds of the two of them, his spirit almost collapsed, and the three major fields collapsed and disintegrated. Inside, there was an opal-like roar of uncontrollable pain and a barrier of collapsed consciousness.
The sea and lava swirled into the sky, blue light covering him at that moment, followed by orange-red fire.
There was a loud noise in Opal's mind, his eyes were pitch black, and he suddenly lost his consciousness. A force he couldn't control almost broke through his body. He had no doubt that in the next moment, his soul would be completely shattered and scattered. into distant space.
Rector: "Opal!"
Opal? ! Coroline's voice trembled.
The fields of belief of the sea and lava closed at the same time, and then turned into a tornado of indigo and crimson, swirling toward the sky. Opal's belief collapsed before the moment of collapse, and the belief of the stars was fleeting, like a flash of flash, and everyone returned to the reality of the universe.
Both sides withdrew their power of belief.
The gluttonous mecha turned into a swept black feather, wrapping the black space capsule flying from afar, and the opal was incorporated into the gluttonous body. Coroline no longer looked at the lonely dragon ray in the empty universe, turned and flew to the grip of the rotating light. .
It landed in the courtyard of the sky, and the Opal was thrown out of the liquid tank while awake, with a metallic noise, and the wreckage of the robot fell to the ground.
The garden was full, and he knelt down and coughed loudly, as if to cough out the grief, helplessness and anger buried in the deepest part of his soul. With one hand wrapped around him, Coroline knelt down on one knee and carefully put the cloth on his lips and face, wiping the water off for him.
"I have a few words for you, Opal," said Corollin.
"I'm getting out of here," Opal said. "I don't want to see you again..."
Opal struggled to push Cororin away, hugged his robot, and staggered to the edge of the platform. Cororin roared, "Opal!"
He just raised his hand, and the force of faith grabbed Opal back.
"Let go of me—" Opal yelled in a near-collapse.
Cororin threw him at the gate of the palace, Opal got up and wanted to flee, Cororin grabbed him back with the power of faith, Opal fled again, and Cororin caught him again. After three times, Opal was quiet.
The surrounding is full of warm flame power, as if burning in Opal's soul, which gradually revived his icy heart, he leaned in the corner tiredly and closed his eyes.
Coroline didn't say a word, and the two of them sat quietly.
Opal: "I will kill you one day."
Cororin looked at Opal as if he didn't know him, and said after a long time, "Opal, my patience with you is almost at the limit. I really want to just leave you alone and let you fend for yourself."
Opal looked up at him and sneered: "If you had chosen this at the beginning, there would be nothing more to do now."
Cororin released the power of his belief, and Opal moved in his heart, reading his most real thoughts - previously Cororin just wanted to keep him in Iszur for a while, not to let him stay there forever, a few days. After a few months until Opal's introspection is over, he will be released.
Coroline put the necklace on the armrest of the throne and said, "Forget it, besides Kelley, there is at least one other person who knows how to make clones. He is now a loyal ally of the Meteorite Empire. I think as long as I ask for it, I will do it. If I can get the technology in his hands, I want to resurrect it for you."
"Using these technologies, I can indeed do it, because your lover's genes come from my teacher, so now I give him a new life, use the robot in your hand and my own genes to make a new Raymond, and then use The power of faith, extract all the memory backups in this magic blue fluorite core and infuse him. Then your lover can be resurrected."
At that moment, Opal's mind went blank.
"Do you need it?" Cororin said lightly: "But in exchange, you have to help me and do one thing for me. I promise not to embarrass you too much."
Opal shivered and did not speak.
"You can't do that." Opal said, "Are you willing to copy yourself?!"
Cororin added: "The copy is only the body and his own memory, it has its own soul, I think I can accept it reluctantly, as long as you take him out of my sight, and promise not to pretend to be a meteorite. King, come and do something that is beyond the norm."
Opal said: "I won't kill Rector."
Coroline frowned and said, "I don't need you to do such a thing. What do you think of me?"
Opal frowned and said: "No, I don't want to agree to your conditions, and I don't want to do anything in exchange. The teacher is right, Raymond is dead when he dies, and pursuing these will only make my beliefs fall into darkness. "
Corollin said: "Idiot, they are the ones who really fell into the dark. Do you know why Ledgerson hates him? You also feel their differences? Ledgerson does not recognize Recht, nor does Recht. I like Ledgerson. Because Ledgerson's father was a replicator, and in order to protect mankind, Recht killed the replicant spy lurking in the human world, ruining Ledgerson's happiness."
"It's different because he's human," said Opal.
"Yes," said Coroline approvingly. "We are all human beings, and I have another identity. I am the leader of the Grip of Light. I am also your teacher. I find you sensitive, Opal. I I changed my mind again, I plan to give you a copy of myself for free without any conditions, and instill the backup memory in the necklace into him, what do you think?"
Opal said: "I won't want it, no, teacher, I tell you clearly, no need."
Cororin said: "Then after I make it, I will keep it for myself."
Opal said: "You don't have this right! Return the necklace to me!"
Coroline: "When your lover is very pitiful, there is a chance of resurrection, but because of your stupid principle, you have to die again."
Opal said: "I don't need this kind of mercy, and neither does Raymond."
Cororin was silent for a moment, and then said: "I give you the right to choose, but these two options are specially tailored for you and cannot be modified, just like the teacher's training for you and the custom-made clothes for you, and The meticulous care. One: accept Raymond, let him return to your side, and leave the Grip of Rotation. Two: Do not resurrect Raymond, continue to follow me. I believe that if you choose two, you will not betray me again. Choose, Opal."
Opal: "… "
Opal didn't understand why Corollin gave such an option. It was obvious that they still had a bloody feud with each other at the last moment, but Corollin's understated words seemed to have changed everything. Besides, listening to his tone, he continued to stay, Being his apprentice was his mercy.
It is impossible for Opal to continue following Cororin's side. Before he could say anything, Cororin felt it.
Cororin got up and said: "I already know your answer, I think I have to send someone to go to Carina and ask Pope Drummond what he meant. Poor Rector and Ledgerson thought that Pope Drummond is on their side, and the Pope should give me a copy of the tech chip."
Opal looked at Cororin warily.
"Raymond lives only in my past, and I'd rather miss him." Opal said, "Don't try to use this to make me submit."
"You're wrong, Opal." Coroline said lightly: "In the past, there was no me, no Rector, and no Raymond. You forgot how the teacher taught you? The past is uncertain, and the future is also uncertain. For sure, the only real, only now."
Opal was going crazy, he laughed like a madman, and Corinthian said: "Go back to have a rest first, I believe you will not refuse this gift."
Opal said: "You kill me!"
Coroline returned to the throne and was silent for a long time, then said: "Now I ask you seriously, Opal, why do you not want to believe it? You are as stubborn as Rickett, thinking that I will only do bad things, yes no?"
Opal said coldly: "You are playing with me, what reason do you want to give me? Because your clone fell in love with me? So you plan to fulfill us? I don't think this is your style."
Cororin said: "Why not? I also blessed Caesar's love, and used the entire female star as his dowry. It is not difficult for me to create a replica. I just want to let him pass. You understand something. Go back to bed, you're sleepy, Opal, remember to think clearly when you wake up, don't be so stubborn."
Coroline raised his hand and calmed down. Opal still had a lot to say, but he couldn't resist the sudden drowsiness. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and he fell on the ground in the hall and fell asleep.
He slept for a long time this time, and when he woke up, he felt like he was dying.
Yes, you slept for a full week. Corinthian said: Now go to dinner, fill your stomach, and then come to the 700th floor, in the room where I did my genetic adjustment last time.
Opal got up with difficulty, and the little robot brought the food. His most primitive survival instinct was stimulated. When he caught food, he stuffed it into his mouth. It wasn't until he ate a lot of food that he felt better.
With a little strength, he immediately ran to the lift platform and went to the top floor of the Meteorite Building. After opening the door, he saw Cororin standing in front of the console. There were two nutrition capsules in the room, and the one on the left was empty. Yes, the logo below shows that it is from the gene company ACU, which is a life-cultivation capsule.
The other nutrient capsule was transported from the No. 2 test site! Opal recognized its shell.
The half-formed duplicator is now suspended in the solution of the nutrition chamber, and Cororin is holding the necklace in his hand.
Opal recognized the robot, its body was covered with muscle tissue and new skin, and its face showed the outline of Coroline, exactly the same...
Opal said: "You... you are crazy."
Coroline glanced at Opal and replied, "You lack the least respect for me, Opal. Call me teacher."
Opal couldn't stop shaking, he didn't know what to say anymore, Corinthian said: "It hasn't been turned on yet, but the brain is complete, now, let me teach you how to use the phantom people's consciousness waves for memory transfer. "
Opal said: "No, I don't want... don't be like this..."
"Look." Coroline grabbed Opal's collar and held him in front of him involuntarily. Opal said loudly, "Let me go!"
Coroline whispered in his ear: "This is what you want from the bottom of your heart, don't deceive yourself Opal, you must watch the whole process, lest you suspect that I am doing something dirty in your lover's memory. My hands and feet, I'm not Ledgerson. If your teacher says it, you will definitely do it, understand?"
Coroline's hypnotic voice enveloped Opal's entire body, his body lost control of himself, his hands and feet seemed to be no longer his own, and he made a series of actions following Cororin's seductive voice.
"Did you see it? This is the small world in the magic blue fluorite." Cororin murmured.
Opal's thoughts were brought into the necklace by Coroline, which was full of Raymond's past and the joys and sorrows they had experienced together, and those days on the star.
"Put it out with the power of belief." Coroline said: "Raymond's memory is now blank. Push all the content into this blank world."
Opal's heart thumped, and Coroline's beliefs were like countless tentacles glowing in the dark, holding fragments of memory from all directions into the blank soul world and filling it in.
After the memory transfer was over, Coroline let go of Opal and stared blankly at the unfinished replicant.
The hatch cover showed Opal's child-like face, and he stared at Raymond blankly.
"It's not turned on yet," Cororin said. "It needs the power of an atomic furnace. Look here, apprentice."
Opal's eyes followed Cororin's expectations. He knew this atomic furnace, and Cororin said: "I made a new atomic furnace for it. As long as the energy is full, it will automatically turn on. Consciousness will stay in the last second before death, and maybe it will cause some small damage. You have to figure out how to explain it to him. These days, you can think with great anticipation, when Raymond came from a deep sleep. After waking up, what was the first thing he said to him, um... what would he look like when he found out that you had become smaller? It must be very interesting."
"Didn't you say you don't want to?" Coroline lowered his head and whispered in Opal's ear: "I finally give you the right to choose, look, here."
Coroline pointed to the button on the console and said, "You can choose not to, but not now. In another 72 hours, when his body is finished, I will turn him on first, and then he will see you."
"If you don't want it at that time, you can press the button, and the Sea of Time will perform the decomposition action, watch the nutrition capsule, and slowly destroy him."
Opal finally said: "What do you want me to do in exchange? Come on, I admit that I am not your opponent. As long as you don't let me kill my teacher, I can agree. If you want to kill Rector, I'd rather die with Raymond."
Cororin returned to the Hanging Garden, stood beside the fountain, and said, "There is no exchange condition, you have been tormented a little by Recht, and you always suspect that I am harming you. Do you think it is so easy to die? Even if you If I commit suicide, I will also make Raymond and show him your body... Opal, you still underestimate me, if the teacher really wants to punish you cruelly, there are ways."
Opal: "… "
"There is one more thing, I think I have to explain it to you: Regarding Raymond's chip, the whole robot uses the incomplete specimen you brought back, I have not made any changes, just connected a few Selke metals Bracket. You don't have to wonder what I've got in private, let alone take its head apart and examine it, you know, it's not easy to get technology from Pope Drummond, and it's not easy to make such a thing It's a lot of work, I didn't close my eyes for a week to make him."
Opal didn't believe such a good thing at all, and frowned: "Are you really willing to let us go?"
Cororin looked into his eyes and said, "Of course, if you feel guilty about me, you might as well do your best in these few days to repay me."
Opal's mood is very complicated, and what happened in front of him has exceeded the limit of his thinking.
Opal said: "Why do you do this, if you don't give me a reason, I will never feel at ease."
Coroline said lightly: "Why do you think there are so many people in this galaxy who are willing to follow me and give their lives for me? God gives every believer who believes in him what he really wants, and he will feel very happy. , as you are now."
Opal said: "It will swell, you are a devil, you satisfy people and make them want more..."
Cororin said: "Those are just greedy guys, I just gave them a condition. The one who really made them perish is always only yourself, or, apprentice, how about we put it another way? When you see all this, you still Will you cling to those illusory morals, laws and axioms, Opal?"
Coroline turned around, looked at Opal, poked his chest with his fingers, and said, "Put your hand here, come, try."
He took the opal's hand, and the big hand was warm, but the opal retracted like an electric shock, but Coroline held it tightly and said, "Release your beliefs, look at my heart, they are only in Raymond's In my memory, it is also in my heart.”
Opal put his hand on Coroline's chest, his heart beating fast and powerfully, as if it was the strongest and most stable thing in the world.
Then he saw a light.
"You read Raymond's memory." Opal finally understood.
"Yes." Coroline said solemnly: "Now, Raymond and I have the same soul, but you can rest assured that I have no time to fall in love with you, and I will not track or interfere with your actions. I will hand over something to the clone, whether he is willing to help or not, let him decide for himself, not forcing."
"Besides, I also have my own ideals to accomplish. Since you choose him, then I think maybe in this life, you will never come back to the teacher again."
That light exists in a memory of Raymond in Coralin's heart. It is hot and domineering, and it shines into Opal's soul in an instant, dispelling all the shadows and darkness left by him because of his death, just like the creation of the universe. At that time, the light that opened up the world carried majestic and irresistible energy, not the high temperature that destroyed everything, but the boundless warmth.
Coroline stared at Opal's slightly dilated pupils and whispered, "Do you know what this is?"
That light is so warm, it illuminates Opal's heart, the consciousness barrier set up by Ledgerson disintegrates and collapses under its light, and all self-deceiving thoughts collapse, like a thin layer of ice under the scorching sun. The front slowly dissolves.
All the memories of Raymond flooded into his outer memory world, and everything swept together again. Opal closed his eyes and finally found himself.
—In the mercenary hall of Sunlight City, I exchanged the mercenary diary with Raymond with a smile.
Corolin said: "I think you know better than anyone what this is. I lift your memory barrier and take back the fire of faith that I ignited for you. I forgive you for the crime of deception you committed against me, your heart, freedom. already."
