Chapter 1011 The future

“He ran away.”

"Um……"

“But I cut Him.”

"This is not enough, Kevin. This injury may not hurt Him at all."

"Then I will continue to pursue."

"...Kevin, Mei hopes you can go back."

"why?"

"That's enough. The dead cannot be resurrected, and if we continue chasing, we might get lost in the quantum ocean."

"But Qianjie has already caught up with him."

"That's our next mission, to bring him back before he goes any deeper."

"...Su, do you think Li is really dead?"

"Kevin, I don't want to believe it either, but... his body and Herrscher core are still here. This is enough to explain a lot."

"..."

Su felt very guilty, because it was because of his invitation that Yae Li became what she is now. Moreover, when Yae Li got into trouble, he was only separated from her by a wall.

Until now, Su still regrets it. If he had acted faster, could this terrible ending have been avoided?

The two of them followed forward and saw Qianjie, who was bathed in flames. In the darker quantum sea, he was like an oil lamp that never went out.

"Thousands of calamities."

Su opened his mouth, and it was like magma flowing through his body. Qianjie, who was wearing a mask and looked like a humanoid monster, turned his head and said, "You are too slow. Do you want to hold me back? Or do you not care about his death?!"

As Qianjie's rage soared, the pervasive flames gradually climbed up the bodies of the two men.

Kevin stepped forward and used ice to block Su's way, isolating him from the high temperature.

It was unknown how long it had been since Qianjie last got angry, but the peaceful daily life had not made him forget how to fight. He was like a natural born warrior.

"Did you catch up with Him?" Su asked.

"Ah……"

Qianjie threw down a piece of charcoal, which was the flesh of some creature. When he threw it like this, it instantly turned into ashes.

Qianjie barely caught up with the other party, but was only able to tear off a piece of flesh.

That guy didn't seem to want to get entangled with everyone. This was the case during the week he was being tracked. He knew how to avoid risks and was aware that there were troublesome people among these people.

However, He also achieved His goal, successfully took the target person away, and spread a message—He is a life that only exists in the quantum ocean, and no one would have thought that His base would be at the edge of the solar system.

"If you hadn't been so slow, He might have been caught." This was also the reason why Qianjie was angry with the two of them.

"He has always had a way out. I can feel that the Quantum Sea... is His home ground." Su shook his head slightly.

“That will require tearing off more flesh from His body!” Qianjie said angrily.

"This is meaningless. What we need to find is a way to kill Him completely."

"But we won't be so lucky to find Him next time!"

Qianjie and Su argued endlessly, and Kevin listened silently without helping anyone.

But even though Qianjie's tone was hot, the flames around him were slowly dying out, which was proof that he had calmed down.

Even though he was harsh in words, he was gradually persuaded by Su and finally accepted the decision to evacuate temporarily.

"……time to go."

Su activated the terminal of Thousand Worlds and One Vehicle, and the three of them disappeared on the spot. Only an "eye" that he had deliberately left in the dark was watching this side.

……

In the native world, on the third planet, one of the strongholds of the warriors of the former civilization.

Some time after Yaeri's body was sent back, several gray snakes came and tried to take her away. It was Mei's order.

She would not bet on whether Yaeri would be resurrected by [Cocoon] again this time, and she did not have time to bet.

According to Yaezaki, the last resurrection took him 50,000 years, but how could they possibly wait any longer when they were still facing the threat of Honkai?

[The End] will not wait for them for another 50,000 years.

Therefore, Mei intends to take this opportunity to conduct further research on Yaegiri's body, perhaps finding clues about the second [Cocoon]. If necessary, she will even turn Yaegiri's Herrscher Core into a Key of God... This is also one of the experimental plans that she has put down and picked up again countless times.

"Sister Ai Li, aren't you going to stop them? Sister Mei is about to take Brother Li to the laboratory for an inhumane experiment!"

Padu anxiously watched the gray snake carrying away Yaezaki's body. Accompanying them were Mebius and Velvi, who were responsible for ensuring that there would be no accidents on the road. They also decided to participate in the experimental research on Yaezaki's body.

Everyone seemed to have accepted Yaeri's death and were making more efficient use of her body.

But whether it was Alicia or Pado who asked the question, they actually knew in their hearts that this was the right choice.

There is no point in leaving Yaeri's body behind. People in the previous civilization knew very little about this special Herrscher. Many studies seem to have explored it inside and out, but there are also many secrets that humans cannot understand through technology.

They did not understand the principle of Yajue's reincarnation from death, nor could they be sure whether he could perform miracles again. Even if he could be resurrected, they did not know whether the rebirth process would still take tens of thousands of years.

Maybe Mei can find a way to wake Li up early?

Many people think so, and they are not worried that Mei will destroy Yaeri's body, because Mebius, who followed in the past, would never allow her to do so.

Everyone in the Fire Moth knows Mei inside and out, and knows that she is crazy and unscrupulous to a certain extent, so they will take precautions against her. At least as long as it does not seriously damage Yaegiri's body, they will support Mei's research on Yaegiri. But if Mei wants to cross that line... this research will probably be forced to shut down under pressure from everyone.

Mei was also aware of this, which was why she put the plan to create the Divine Key for the core of the Yae Glass Herrscher to the end and would not start it until it was absolutely necessary.

"…Little Padu, Li will not die. Mei and the others will preserve his body well until the distant future, when he will surely wake up again."

Alicia looked at Padu, whose eyes were red and swollen, and forced a smile on her face.

"How long do we have to wait for the future when Brother Keli wakes up?"

"Maybe tens of thousands of years, thousands of years... or even tomorrow? Oh, hope is such a beautiful thing, little Padu." Alicia gently wiped away the tears that were about to flow from the corners of Padu's eyes, her voice gentle but firm, "No matter how long we wait, as long as there is hope in our hearts, it is not a real loss."

"..."

"So let's cheer up. Li is now sleeping on his own. We may be in more danger than him. After all... we haven't figured out how to deal with that dangerous thing in the sky~?"
