Even though Alicia was right beside her.
……
"Waaaaah... Alicia..."
In the game, the system has automatically exited the level interface.
Qingque stared blankly at the screen, murmuring Alicia's name.
After a long while, she sniffed and then used the mouse to click on the next chapter.
Chapter 35 - And then, towards tomorrow.
This is truly the last chapter.
Qingque was already immersed in the emotion of being "moved", and when she saw the title of this chapter, she started to twitch again.
She sniffled, forcing back tears as she said, "It's really... over..."
Tingyun was also deeply moved, but she quickly composed herself, gently patting Qingque's back and comforting her:
"Alright, Blue Sparrow~ Look, Kiana and the others are over there~"
"I know... Can't you let me be a little more touched?"
Qingque pouted and clicked on the first level of Chapter 35.
Games start.
The perspective shifted from Mei to Kevin, who was on the moon.
Standing opposite Kevin was a girl who looked remarkably like Duck—Prometheus.
At this moment, she was telling Kevin the story of that bubble world in a cold tone.
That is, the story in chapter 32.
There, there was a world bubble created by the "End," and Mei and Shiki met a "Dr. Mei" in that world bubble.
At this moment, Prometheus recounts the story that took place in that world bubble, as well as the words that Dr. May left for Kevin.
After listening to Prometheus's story, Kevin remained silent for a long time.
Then he simply uttered four words in a cold voice—
"I see"
His tone was as usual, but that was also the most unusual thing about it.
Not only were the players surprised, but even the game's artificial intelligence, Prometheus, was taken aback.
After all, that's Dr. Mei...
Even though he's just Dr. Mei from WorldBubble, Kevin shouldn't be this "cold-blooded," right?
Prometheus, not understanding, began to sort out the story in his own way to see if anything had been omitted.
Why... did Kevin have no reaction after hearing Dr. Mei's dying wishes?
"...Don't you have anything else to say?"
Finally, Prometheus tilted his head and asked a question.
“…No,” Kevin replied coldly as always.
"The future of the Stigmata Project will do you no good or harm; leave as soon as possible."
"Leave this authentic world; that way, you'll still have your own future."
Kevin repeated the same old story in his usual tone, the promises of the past carrying too many memories, making it difficult for him to speak of them.
But facing this old friend whom he had personally killed... Kevin didn't want to be too perfunctory.
So, in the end, he added, "Anyway... thank you for telling me all this."
"..." Prometheus: "...I don't understand."
Dr. Mei said you are a [lonely boy].
"But in my opinion, you are actually further removed from the definition of 'human' than I am."
Although Prometheus's voice remained a cold, mechanical tone.
It's even kind of cute.
But at this moment, she gave the impression that... she was angry...
An artificial intelligence got angry?!
0. 0
Kevin also knew what she meant by "not understanding".
"For me, accepting a certain conclusion is not difficult."
"Since Mei believes that future Herrschers will be able to shoulder the future of humanity... then I am willing to do everything in my power to give them far more than half a day."
Prometheus: "...But all you've done is watch from the sidelines."
"In a world that is both familiar and strange, we wage a long and desperate struggle against something unattainable—"
"That's far too cruel; it shouldn't be borne by a group of young people."
Kevin: "..."
"Are you referring to them, or us?"
Prometheus: "..."
That's right... such a struggle that takes millions of years to achieve results, even if it really happened to those girls, there's nothing special about it.
After all, the man in front of her had already been through it.
……
Seeing this, players felt immense admiration and sympathy for Kevin.
At the same time, they also learned that Kevin was indeed going easy on the main characters.
Although he chose to turn a blind eye to the protagonist group's current actions because he listened to Dr. Mei's advice.
But this is actually giving yourself a chance to break free.
Because... in the subsequent conversation, the players also learned that the [Stigmata Project] could never actually "succeed".
Unless Kevin can harness the power of the End through his own will and his own abilities... and carry it forever, the Stigmata Project will not fail.
To put it another way, Kevin is needed to become the vessel for preserving the power of the End, in order to maintain those humans' "dreams" forever.
This……
This ending... is too bitter, too cruel.
It's truly a case of wishing for death but being unable to.
Upon learning this, the players felt—
Whether it's to save humanity or to free Kevin, the main characters seem to have no reason to lose...
Next, the only thing players are worried about is the cost of victory.
……Ten thousand.
Chapter 637 You should at least shed a tear for her
Kevin has always understood this.
But he still chose to do it.
Throughout his 50,000-year journey, he fulfilled every promise he made, defeating the Honkai with his human body.
At the same time, he also, as a sinner, ultimately shouldered the ideal of "saving the world".
Yu Tu couldn't help but let out a sigh full of sympathy.
"Do you... also only wish for death?"
"Or perhaps, although you don't have such a wish, just like I once was, in the context of the world you face right now..."
"Death is the only mercy."
"..." After a long silence, Kevin said in a deep voice, "The woman you speak of ultimately sacrificed everything for the future of humanity."
But I haven't yet.
"Instead of destroying the Honkai, all I did was lock it in a cage..."
"But I will assimilate this timeframe into the lifespan of the planet."
Yuto: "Even if you want to live alone forever in this 'zero-one-zero' world... which is already empty to you?"
"Even because of the power of the End... you simply cannot find the meaning of life again like your former comrade (Fu Hua) did."
Kevin: "We have no other choice, and as for the meaning you're talking about, I don't need it."
“…Yes, even without that thing, haven’t you already gotten to where you are today?” With that, Yu Tu turned to Prometheus: “Then, let’s leave, Number Seventeen.”
