Chapter 666 Difficulties
"Li, is the Twelfth Herrscher here too?"
"Coming, right on me."
"It seems that I made the right bet. In your cooperation with Him, you take the lead~?"
"Luckily you made the right bet."
"That's right. Fortunately, I made the right bet. I will be extremely happy every time I think about this in the future, right?"
"Yes, it would be the same if it were me."
Li walked towards Alicia and came to her side, lying on the railing and watching the scene of residents evacuating the city below.
Alicia also turned around, also lying back on the railing, and slightly closing the distance between her and Li.
It seems ambiguous, but in fact Alicia is guarding against Li's sudden escape. As long as the Twelfth Herrscher and Li are there, these three cities will not face the threat of nuclear bombs.
[So close, so close... Companion, will she suddenly take action against us? I think we should strike first...]
"I told you she is my companion, so put down your dangerous thoughts."
[How come you have such a companion...but don't we really hurry up? The humans in the city are all running away! 】
"The nuclear bomb will be launched, and these three cities will not be spared."
【But humans...】
"Let them be destroyed by other Herrschers who will appear in the future."
【ah? I'm still here, I can also be responsible for destroying it! 】
"You have completed your mission. Destroying the only three remaining cities of mankind is a great achievement. You can have a good rest after that."
[Achievements...eh? 】
"I don't understand why I use my power to look up information online."
"Li, are you talking to Him?"
Alicia turned her head to look at Li, who had been silent for a long time, and asked curiously.
"Yes, He is still a...child who needs to learn."
"Child? Li, you are the first person to call the Herrscher this~?" Alicia seemed to be amused.
"..."
No, I was just teasing that this guy's IQ is no different from that of a child.
"How long do we have to wait?"
Li looked at the scenery below. In addition to people, there were still so many people left in the city after being evacuated for so long.
"...Of course the longer the better. After all, the time spent alone with Li has become less and less recently~?"
"Don't forget there's another guy."
"Li, didn't you say that he is still a child? You don't need to worry about it, right? Just like a married couple has their own child, it won't affect anything~?"
[So unhappy... This guy actually dares to advance to a higher level? 】
"Don't worry, you were born not long ago anyway."
【…】
Damn it, is her companion still looking towards her?
"There are so many people... Why haven't you noticed that there are so many people in a city before?" Li slowly straightened up, but Alicia grabbed her arm.
"very nervous?"
"No, I just want to stay with Li for a while~?"
"I won't leave you alone, you should know that."
"That's true, otherwise you wouldn't have come here just for me~?"
"..."
Li deduced the future and found that if she continued to wait like this, there was a certain possibility that these three cities would survive. Although it was small, it must be avoided.
"Come on, let's get out of here."
Li grabbed Alicia's arm with her backhand and held on tightly.
"No, Li, I don't want to leave just yet~?"
Alicia's other hand sprinkled the sky with pink crystal flower seeds, which fell into the ground around the two of them. Large crystals were immediately formed, some of which touched Li's skin and even took root in his body. It brought severe pain.
[Companion, let’s do it! 】
"Shut up!"
Feeling that her body's functions were gradually losing control, Li scolded the Twelfth Herrscher back.
"Li, I'm sorry, but until people are evacuated, please stay here with me..."
Alicia controlled the crystal flower rooted in Li's body, watching Li closely, and quickly deprived him of all body functions whenever there was any abnormal movement.
"...I can't wait."
Li moved her body, very stiff.
"Why? Li, why do you have to help the Herrscher? You obviously have no reason to destroy humanity?"
"Reason? I have it~"
"Is this the [future] you told me about before?"
"Ha...don't you know this?"
"Because since then, Li, your behavior has become weird..."
"Since you know everything, you should be able to understand me. Only in this way can we reduce casualties based on the original future."
【Um? What did you say, companion? 】
Oh, I almost forgot about this guy.
Li blocked him casually, using the reason that she wanted to whisper something to Alicia. As for whether he believed it or not...it didn't matter.
"Reduce casualties on the basis of the original future...Keli, why do you want to help the Twelfth Herrscher launch nuclear bombs towards the city?"
"In the original future, the end of those people was death. I don't have that much energy to care about their life or death."
"You don't have the energy...don't you want to?"
"A little bit, after all, it's too tiring, and it's unnecessary."
When the Earth is cleansed at the end, how many of these people will be saved by the Fire Chaser Moth?
"If that's the case, then I have to stop you."
"I never thought you would give in. After all, you would risk your life for those insignificant people..."
"There's nothing I can do, because that's the only way I can stop you~?"
"Yes, this is the only way to stop me..."
"!!!"
Alicia sensed something was wrong and instantly detonated the flower seeds in Li's body. Suddenly, dozens of crystal flowers bloomed from the opponent's body, occupying all parts of Li's body except her heart and brain.
"Alicia, you can really be cruel..."
Li's mouth could not move, so she directly conveyed what she wanted to say to Alicia through [thought].
"I'm sorry, it hurts, right? But please bear with it a little longer. I will apologize to you afterward. You can punish me in any way you want~?"
"At that time, to you, maybe I am the one who should apologize?"
"..."
"It's a pity, Alicia, but these words are not enough to stop me."
There was a smile in Li's words, "As long as my brain is still active, I can use my powers. You should know this, so the best solution is to kill me."
"..."
"Can't you do it?"
"Li, when did you become so evil-minded? You know clearly that I would never do that kind of thing..."
"But if you don't kill me, you can't save the humans below. It's similar to the tram problem. On one side is my Herrscher's life...oh, and the Twelfth Herrscher's, and on the other side are the lives of many humans. I’m curious, Alicia, what would you choose?”
