Chapter 279: What I Did for Her
The two quickly disappeared from her sight. Next, she walked through the corridor with Bazel and Secris. Suddenly, a portal opened in front of them, and Caesar jumped out of the portal, startling her. She kicked Caesar angrily.
Caesar smiled, knelt down on one knee in front of her, hugged her waist, and apologized while acting coquettishly.
Then, he presented her with the flowers he had hidden behind his back, and she immediately beamed with joy upon seeing them.
Bazel and Secris rolled their eyes at her from behind.
Anno stood outside the corridor, looking at the scene before him from a third-person perspective, and found it novel.
However, this was the first time she had seen Bazel and Secris's attitude towards Caesar. It seemed that Caesar was truly disliked by them...
Then, she watched "her" and her family members, as well as her parents, walk back and forth along this long corridor.
Caesar would always try to please her with all sorts of little trinkets, but he had learned his lesson and knew to avoid Sitar.
He didn't care about the disdain of the other members of the family. Seeing Bai Yan and the others behind her gritting their teeth at Caesar, she couldn't help but smile.
However, the other members of her household would secretly find opportunities to spend time alone with her and try to make her happy.
Although Anno felt somewhat unfamiliar with the scene before her, she did not find it jarring. Everyone's behavior was consistent with their personalities, including her own way of treating them.
After watching for a while, Anuo realized that she might be in some kind of illusion. These things might not be real, but they were possible.
She knew that only Tanvel possessed the ability to create such illusions, but it was more likely that Sitar was the one with it.
He possesses precognitive abilities and can foresee future events.
However, this future is not certain to happen, but rather it is something that might happen based on the current events.
Things that haven't happened can be changed, meaning the future can be changed.
The scene in front of Anno changed; the corridor disappeared, leaving only the crystal tree behind her.
Different scenes began to appear around her, like scenes from a series of independently playing movies.
Before her lay a collapsing mineral asteroid; the blood gold stone had been shattered, and its core fragments were also broken, being swept into the wormhole.
She, Sitar, and Caesar were being pulled apart by chaotic energy. Caesar held her tightly as they fell towards the spatial rift...
This is what she remembers happening.
She tilted her head slightly to look at another scene. The mineral asteroid had not yet fallen apart, and the Blood Gold Stone was still intact. Caesar protected the Blood Gold Stone, and Sitar protected her, but Mingxiao and the others had disappeared into the spacetime rift.
The third scene shows Brightman taking out the core fragment and handing it to her, then disappearing with her into the time tunnel he opened.
The fourth scene.......
The fifth scene.......
......
In the tenth scene, she wasn't there. Instead, other members of the Zerg's familiars, along with some familiar faces from the Upper Crescent and the Allied forces, went. This time, they were fully armed and prepared. Under the control of various professional instruments, they successfully took away the Bloodstone. Although they couldn't completely dismantle Dennis's trap, and the asteroid still split apart, no one was injured.
She removed the core fragment, and the Bloodstone was destroyed.
But it was still Brightman who opened the Bloodstone; his hands were bound by shackles, indicating that he had been captured.
In the previous nine scenes, Brightman either died, ran away with her, or was taken away by Dennis; only this time was he successfully captured.
These images are all future events that Sital foresaw might occur.
In other words, of these future scenarios, only the tenth scenario represents the best outcome.
Sitar showed her all the predicted outcomes, telling her that she was the most important variable in this outcome, along with Brightman.
No, it should be said that Brightman is the biggest variable in this whole affair, and she is the one who controls the direction of that variable.
Brightman is Dennis's biggest trump card, and he can open the Bloodstone and also controls the method to destroy it, without causing too much of a disturbance like on the asteroid.
In the tenth scene, how was Brightman captured?
Anno looked at it more carefully and found that all ten scenes were things that happened after they went to the asteroid.
In other words, she entered this premonition of illusion before this.
Only by resolving the biggest variable in this situation, Brightman, before that will everything be different.
Where was she before she went to the asteroid?
How did she resolve, or rather... persuade, Brightman?
Anno recalled her recent dream, those dreams where Brightman had become memories...
Just as Anno was lost in thought, the scene around her began to crumble little by little.
"Bang!"
A loud bang from above jolted Anno back to his senses!
She looked up and saw the vast expanse of space, and countless warships overhead!
This is? !
"Anunu, come back to your mother!"
Sevier's voice echoed in Anno's mind, repeatedly urging Anno to return to her side.
She had just said these things to Anno not long ago.
Anno suddenly realized that they were in the asteroid belt. They had just slipped through the portal and landed on an asteroid that was only a few hundred meters in diameter.
Cannon fire, floating rocks, and spaceships—but what followed was yet to come...
She moved and found herself in Sitar's arms.
As she looked up, she met Sitar's deep blue eyes. Sitar was staring intently at her, his deep, pool-like eyes holding a look of inquiry and all-knowing fascination.
Anno unconsciously pressed her chest against her chest, her heart pounding, driving the energy of her core. Her core was still intact.
She realized that Sitar had already used his precognitive abilities when he fell through the portal.
Sitar placed his hand over hers, his expression gentle and calm, giving her an unwavering strength.
"Anunu, this is what I can do for you."
He can see her future and present all the foreseeable outcomes to her. How she chooses is entirely up to her. He will not interfere, but he will share the burden with her and walk with her through life.
The future that hasn't happened can be changed at will. Sital has provided the result, and regardless of which future it is, she already knows the key to change it.
Anno opened her mouth, as if to say something, but Sitar released her arm and gently patted her head. "Anunu, you know what to do."
She knew exactly what to do to achieve the optimal result; she already had the answer in her mind.
During the days he was captured and taken to Dennis's base, Sitar had already made plans. His consciousness was implanted into Brightman's consciousness, and he gained his memories.
He presented her with all of Brightman's obsession with her.
This is the key to what can shake Brightman's current position.
Anno took a deep breath, cupped Sitar's face, and placed a kiss on his cheek.
She blinked, her long eyelashes brushing against Brightman's face. Brightman smiled faintly and smoothed her long hair. "Go ahead."
Anno released Sitar and turned to walk towards Brightman.
"Your Highness, don't go! Let me kill him!" Caesar grabbed her hand.
Looking at Caesar in front of him, Anno suddenly said, "Caesar, is there something special you want to say to me?"
Upon hearing Anno's words, Caesar was stunned, and his sharp aura dissipated. Why did His Highness suddenly say such special things to him? He had so much to say to His Highness, no matter how much he said, it wouldn't be enough.
But if there are special circumstances...
"It's alright. Tell me slowly when we get back after we've dealt with what's in front of us." Anno gently touched Caesar's cheek.
She will no longer let Caesar, or anyone else, disappear from her sight.
They could risk their lives to protect themselves, and she could protect her family.
Seeing that Anno was still going to Brightman's place, Caesar grabbed her hand and said urgently, "But Your Highness, he is in danger. You can't go alone!"
Anno pulled his hand away from Caesar's, turned around to look at Brightman, who stood in the distance with a lonely back, and slowly said, "He and I must come to an end."
