Chapter 686 The painful price of favoring sex over friends

In the small wooden house among the flowers, the melodious sound of the piano floats and echoes, and the breeze carries the fragrance of flowers to the distance.

"Crunch~"

The wooden door was pushed open, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The old woman stood up with a stooped body, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she could no longer find the focus.

"Who is it?" the old woman asked. Because she was too old, it was very difficult to even stand up and take two steps. "I'm very sorry, my eyes are not very good..."

But the next second, the old woman stopped asking. She heard a familiar voice that she had not heard for decades, and her whole body started to tremble. This was the voice that she had been thinking about day and night, and it was also the person she thought she would never see again. .

"Marina Ismail."

"This... this sound... is it... could it be... Sets... Setsuna!"

"It's been such a long time."

"Because we always miss each other."

"But we all pursued the same thing, and you... are right."

The two people slowly approached each other, and Setsuna gently held Marina Ismail's hand. The silver metal covered her hand bit by bit, spreading upward bit by bit.

Marina Ismail felt something strange coming from her hands, but she did not panic or struggle because the person in front of her was Setsuna.

"The same goes for you, you did nothing wrong." He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his free hand, and held Setsuna's hand with both hands, causing the silver metal to spread faster, and soon, it covered his whole body.

"us……"

"us……"

"Finally we can understand each other." X2

As the words fell, Setsuna stepped forward and hugged Marina Ismail, who was completely wrapped in ELS.

"Click~"

Small cracks spread like a spider web, becoming more and more dense. Then, the metal surface cracked, and Marina Ismail appeared intact, regaining her youthful appearance.

This pair of men and women, who were aiming for the same goal but chose completely different paths, kept missing each other, and finally hugged each other tightly at the end.

…

Not far from where Marina Ismail was hiding, Yang Hui, who looked equally old but still tall and tall, raised his head and looked into the distance, which was the direction where Setsuna and Marina Ismail were.

"This guy values ​​sex over friends." Yang Hui laughed.

"What did you say? Why do you value sex over friends?" Huang asked beside Yang Hui.

"Setsuna is back."

"He's back! He..."

[The legion mission is over, protect the survival of human civilization, reach mutual understanding with ELS, and receive rewards: 20 construction opportunities, 40 strengthening opportunities, 20 material gift packs (extra large)...

Calculate world deviation:

The Smirnoff family survives - 3%

Einie Ratner survives - 2%

Eliminate A-Laws in advance and overthrow the rule of the puppet government - 18%

End Levonz Almac's conspiracy early and eliminate the artificial changer group - 38%

ELS decisive battle ahead of schedule - 18%

…

The total world deviation obtained is 128%, which is the sum of the world deviation calculated from the previous stage... After the calculation, the total of the Gundam OO world is 189%, and the qualification for world connection is obtained, and the qualification for establishing a portal is obtained...]

Originally, the emperor wanted to ask Setsuna if he was really back, but before he could ask, Mephis's voice rang in the minds of all the members of the Promes Legion, confirming this. Setsuna was back, and their mission was finally over. finished.

"Brain quantum waves and what they tell me." Yang Hui pointed to his head and the necklace around his neck. The concentration of GN particles on the earth is now very high, and the activity of brain quantum waves is very high, and it is often difficult to control it. Things like quasi-revolutionaries with quantum brain waves or newly awakened pure-bred revolutionaries suddenly open a chat room.

As the owner of the strongest quantum brain wave known to date, Yang Hui suddenly noticed a powerful quantum brain wave not far away. He could detect it immediately, and it was so familiar that it must have happened in an instant.

Also, Yang Hui, who never wears jewelry, has a necklace around his neck. This necklace will not be taken off even when taking a bath or sleeping.

That was the mimicry of ELS. Setsuna went to ELS's home planet as a pioneer of change, but in the process of communicating with each other, the ELS also learned about the existence of Promis Fortress and that Yang Hui was the owner of this fortress.

Therefore, at Setsuna's request, ELS was willing to station in Promes Fortress and become one of them.

Although the human they trust most is Setsuna, they also need to connect with Yang Hui, so this ultra-small ELS is the link between Yang Hui and the entire ELS group, maintaining communication with each other at all times.

The moment Setsuna returned, the ELS necklace around his neck had already informed him of the news.

"Great, it's finally over." Huang said happily.

"What? Don't you like this peaceful life?" Yang Hui asked in surprise. The original intention of Huang and Yang Hui to join the [Celestial Being] organization was for this hard-won peace. Logically speaking, Huang should end the peaceful life, and You should feel sorry to have to go back to a stressful and dangerous mission.

"I like it, but we have to go back after all." Huang said with a serious smile on his face, "From the moment we choose, we are destined to not be able to enjoy a peaceful life with peace of mind. We were prepared when we made the choice. , to complete this heavy responsibility and mission, we gain unlimited lifespan, a wonderful journey, and powerful strength, and we naturally have to bear the price of all this."

"Yes." Yang Hui smiled knowingly. Everyone has grown, not only with the increase in strength, but also with the maturity and determination of the mind. "Gather everyone together and return to [World Tree]. After playing for so long, it's time for us to go back." ”

"learn."

A message was sent from Huang's PAD, and people scattered around the world ended their leisurely vacations, said goodbye to their new friends, and embarked on their return journey.

"Setsuna! You guys actually know how to come back!"

Returning to [World Tree], the Dilandi brothers held Setsuna on the left and right, looking at him with a playful expression.

"Sorry, their home planet is too far away, that's why it took so long." I don't know if Setsuna is too upright or if he became a silicon-based creature and his reaction became slower, and he was completely unaware of the Dilandi brothers. With such a lewd smile, he actually thought that they really cared about him.

But...soon, Setsuna noticed that there were more and more people around him, and...the malice was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt something was wrong.

"What...are you going to do?" Because Setsuna was frightened because of the fusion with ELS, his expression was still calm, just like...the Sanwu boy who was trembling and retreating?

"Hey, you've kept us waiting for so long, of course we can't let you go like this!"

"The most disgusting thing is! We have been worried about you for 50 years, and you don't even say hello to us when you come back and go to find your little girlfriend. You value sex over friends. You will never tolerate it!"

"Wait a minute, Marina Ismail must be in her seventies this year, right? Is she her little girlfriend?"

"Setsuna is more than 150 years old? An old cow eats young grass, what is a little girlfriend if she isn't?"

"Right."

"Stop being crooked! Brothers, impose sanctions on Setsuna!"

"Don't……"

"Hold it in if you don't accept it!"

"Uh huh~!!!"

On the other side, a group of women were chatting with Marina Ismayil. Girls are the agents of gossip. They were really curious about how Marina Ismayil won Setsuna.

In Promis Fortress, Setsuna is a veteran member and one of the strong men at the top of the pyramid. He is handsome, and his expressionless distance adds a bit of coldness to his temperament, so Setsuna is in Promis There are many suitors in the fortress.

Some people even launched a fierce attack and almost drugged Setsuna and cooked the rice, but Setsuna has never accepted anyone, until now...

In an environment like a best friend's interrogation, Marina Ismail told them all her experiences from her acquaintance with Setsuna to the end, which made them incredible. Two completely different people actually started on completely opposite paths. , being able to come together at the end is even more novel than a novel.

"By the way... Marina, are you uncomfortable with your current body?" The emperor and others also knew that Marina Ismail was assimilated by Setsuna, so they asked with concern.

In the past 50 years, the people who were assimilated by ELS have come back to life, but there are still many mysteries of ELS that have not been solved and are still being studied. Some people in the Promethean Legion are metal people, and even some people It is actively assimilated with ELS.

Although this group of people are elites in each world, who doesn't want to become stronger? The talent gap cannot be filled with hard work. They know that they are excellent talents, but compared with geniuses and children of the world, they are still far behind. They want to become stronger, catch up with them or even surpass them. They must use special methods.

In fact, not only the members of the Promethean Legion, but also many people on the earth have chosen to assimilate with ELS. First of all, there is a benefit that many people cannot refuse, immortality!

Then, ordinary people can have powerful brain quantum waves.

Greed is one of the seven deadly sins of man. Ordinary people seem to be happy with the situation, but they only have to give up under real circumstances. But when given the opportunity, who would be willing to be a salted fish?

"Not yet... not yet." Marina Ismail said shyly. She grew up in the palace and never had many friends. Apart from Setsuna, the only one she could call a friend was her former staff member and supervisor, Celine. · Baftiyar, she was really not used to having so many people communicating with her like friends all of a sudden.

"Well, I'll take you to Dr. Moreno later for a full body examination."

"Okay, Setsuna... Over there..."

"Huh?" Huang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look, with a playful curve on his lips, "Don't worry, everyone is just having fun, nothing will happen."

"Yes...really?"

"Yes."

…

"You said... Setsuna is now a silicon-based creature, right? Is there still that thing?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!"

"Well, it needs to be checked. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"Well!!!!!!!"

"Stop struggling! It's hard to take it off!"

"Don't worry, it's just a quick look."

"Uh~!!!!!!!!! Wuwuwu..."
