Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Remember them, and then, at some point...
Everything around became very quiet.
Especially at this time, they stood at this point, the lighting machines surrounded them, making a very light sound of mechanical wings vibrating.
Occasionally there would be some crackling noises, suggesting mechanical failure.
The light source slowly extended from them to the distance, until it shone into the pitch-black universe and into the place where the two crimson flames were swaying.
Those shocking wounds were looming.
This kind of thing shouldn't have happened.
Because for such a long time, only Morlo has formed a balance here with a very subtle coincidence.
When the other crown family members pass away, they are truly gone.
So what is the situation with this deep pollution, this barrier, this mental power, and this behemoth?
The Crown Clan members who received the news and were dealing with the strange beasts that had emerged from the barriers in other places around them were gathering here.
Following the Crown Clan deeper into this area of pollution, they are almost unable to withstand the power of the pollution. Such scenes are also being played on the Saint Cas warship, which will soon be replaced by a new batch of troops.
Everyone watched all this in shock and solemnity, not understanding why.
That indeed looked like the original form of a certain prince.
But how is that possible?
Your Highness Ebenino?
The Royal Highness of the Crown Family who was buried in pollution with the First Army a hundred years ago.
Unlike Morlo who was almost exhausted after only being missing for a few years, he has actually been missing for more than a hundred years!
But most importantly -
Everyone looked above the huge monster's head - nothing.
It wasn't very bright here to begin with, and the huge monster was quietly hiding not far from them. There were only terrifying red flames swaying, making it basically impossible to see what was going on.
But one thing is very clear.
There was hardly any trace of a crown on his head.
Or it had almost completely dissipated, leaving only a mist-like thing covering his head.
Xiao Chuzao was frightened at first, but he came to his senses, looked at the other party, and reached out to grasp the other party's mental power thread.
It was a translucent thread of spiritual power that was about to completely dissipate.
"Algae——"
Fei Man subconsciously turned her head to look at Xiao Chuzao.
The female from the Crown Clan, who always looked very calm and cruel, opened her mouth and seemed a little helpless.
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter it all of a sudden. The whites of her eyes turned red, and the circles around her eyes seemed to turn red quickly as well.
That was a nightmare that had haunted Fei Man for who knows how long.
Is that her grandfather? The grandfather Ebenino who always lifted her high above his head when she was a child and laughed as if he would never fall down?
The little cub holding the thread of mental power tried it, and the little guy looked up, and the little wings with fur exploded behind him flapped.
"Auntie, don't cry, Zao Zao, give it a try——"
He was small and spoke softly.
The crown on little Chuzao's head flickered, and he tried hard. Through the barrier, the only thing he could touch was the thread of mental power floating along the barrier. The cub had never made such an attempt, and the little guy was a little embarrassed for a moment.
The huge creature that had its mental power thread grasped seemed to be stunned for a moment, and instinctively tilted its head and shook it slightly.
He seemed unable to comprehend what was happening, but he was still instinctively shocked by it all.
"No, it's okay. Auntie doesn't mean that. Zao Zao should try to do whatever she can."
After being coaxed by the little guy, Fei Man reacted all of a sudden, but her fingers clenched. She turned around and wanted to approach the barrier over there, but was blocked by Amos.
Amos stood in the front, staring into the eyes of the two flickering red flames.
Amos approached the barrier first.
The atmosphere around is dull and depressing.
Xiao Chuzao held the thread of mental power that was about to disappear, watched Amos approach the barrier, then looked at Fei Man who was trembling slightly, gritting her teeth and lowering her eyes, and then looked at Ayala who was stunned and at a loss.
The little guy didn't know where to look for a moment.
There is only one Zao Zao, and she cannot be coaxed.
But, but - that feeling when Zao Zao tried to piece together Grandpa Morlo's crown.
The cub's crown suddenly lit up, and the golden branches that had split out from the crown during this period slowly disappeared at this moment, turning into stars like the last power of an angel. Even the angel source stone in Xiao Chuzao's pocket was glowing slightly, and the power flowed into the almost transparent mental power thread.
As it spread upwards, the faint light seemed to light up the surrounding barriers all at once, and finally landed on the head of the giant creature behind the barriers.
At that moment, they finally saw clearly that the crown had been shattered to pieces, with only bits and pieces left.
With the help of the little cub's mental power, the debris that was almost disappearing only solidified a little.
But this has been a big change for that behemoth.
He was dazed, like a stiff and unconscious puppet being manipulated, staring at this place, with his tattered wings flapping from time to time behind him.
The faint light seemed like a path, and here it was brighter than the stars in the distance.
All this seemed particularly shocking to others.
"It's Grandpa Ebenino——"
Amos's hand was already on the barrier.
It is non-aggressive, and has this familiar wave reaction when the little guy's mental power is mobilized.
"He cannot break through. Forcing a breakthrough will once again bring irreversible consequences to his mental strength."
Not to mention the unknown pollution and strange beasts on the other side.
If there was no Algae, if they could explore here, when it was basically certain that Ebenino could not be saved, forcibly breaking through here might be a way to give Ebenino a quick death.
But now - no one is sure whether Ebenino, whose body is still intact, can be rescued.
Fei Man had already walked to the barrier. She reached out her hand to touch the barrier and looked at Ebenino on the other side of the barrier.
Amos withdrew his hand and turned to look at the little cub not far away.
"Algae."
The little guy had let go, and the branches on the golden little crown disappeared. The little guy was dizzy at that moment, and his little body was a little shaky, and Amos held him in his arms in time.
He was small and he retched as if he was carsick.
The little head was buried in Amos' arms uncomfortably.
Keep silent.
"Bah, bah, not enough——"
The branches on the little guy's crown seemed to be a way for him to store power. Generally speaking, it would be barely enough to repair a crown like Morlo's. But for Ebenino, whose crown halo had been completely shattered and who had no consciousness at all, not to mention asking him to cooperate, this was not enough this time.
He has been here for too long, and the damage he has suffered is unimaginable to ordinary people.
It is impossible for the little guy to put together such a crown in a short time.
To put it simply, it was broken into pieces too completely, and there wasn't enough 'glue' to glue them together.
Amos stroked the cub's back and looked towards the barrier again.
"Okay, Dad knows. Let's take it step by step."
Although Ebenino's situation looks very miserable, it seems to have formed a strange stability. The pollution on the other side of the barrier is unknown, and the specific situation is unclear. They need to make more preparations to resist the more turbulent pollution within the barrier and let the Holy Grail clan who are good at tinkering with these devices contribute more efforts - and there are too many strange beasts gathered here.
Before completely removing this barrier, they might need to enter the other side in advance, eliminate the strange beasts, and bring the situation under control.
And given Ebenino's current situation, they also need to figure out what exactly happened.
While the little guy was vomiting uncomfortably, the huge monster seemed to stick its head out and try to take a look over here, and finally looked at Fei Man, who was touching the barrier and staring at him, looking very strange.
Ebenino finally flapped his wings slowly, and he approached the barrier, almost touching it. He lowered his head and looked at Fei Man.
Now that the distance was closer, the marks on Ebenino's body were more clearly visible.
Fei Man stared at it.
Until Ebenino slowly lowered his head, he didn't seem to understand it very well, but he moved his head closer to the barrier little by little, closer to the place where Fei Man's hand was.
Although he didn't understand, it was the first time he felt relaxed and comfortable after so many years of struggle.
He was not even conscious, and only after the little fellow helped solidify his crown a little did he have a slightly unnoticeable reaction.
What are these guys?
It seems different from those things that need to be torn apart.
But that was all; in most cases, he still acted on instinct.
Fei Man looked at Ebenino who was close to him. The scarlet flame flickered and looked over.
Just like when she was a kid playing hide-and-seek, she hid in a small corner, and her grandfather smiled and poked his head in to look at her.
"Little Feman?"
Grandpa’s voice seems to still be in my ears.
When all these things happened, Fei Man finally opened her eyes and a tear fell.
"Save...save him..."
Fei Man spoke subconsciously in a low voice.
Until Amos came closer holding little Chuzao.
"Yes, there will be a way. Zao Zao's mental power is effective, but it will take longer, and we will also need longer time."
Amos raised his hand and placed it on Fermyn's shoulder.
"What we need to do now is to calm down and proceed step by step. We need to guard the barrier line and wait for him to regain consciousness and be willing to open it. The situation on the other side is unclear, so the entire Saint Cass needs to make new and further adjustments."
Amos said a lot today, but he was calm and steady. In an instant, he woke up Fei Man, who was panicking and wanted to achieve her goal regardless of the consequences, and calmed her down a little.
The mental forces that made up the barrier were extremely stubborn, like nails, firmly nailed here, and Amos had no way to open it without destroying the barrier.
Fei Man paused for a long time and finally responded.
Think positively -
At least, it's still there.
Grandpa is still alive.
Fei Man is no longer the talkative little kid he was when he was little.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But he couldn't utter the last word.
Suddenly Ebenino turned his head.
And the communication alarms of Amos Feyman and Ayala sounded.
"Your Majesty, the pollution is increasing!"
That was the sound coming from Sancas' pollution exploration ship.
"That force is coming in waves, impacting this side. It may be the cause of the continuous expansion of pollution! They are like tides—"
This is a very vivid metaphor.
Pollution tides.
Amos and others standing on the other side of the barrier could see with their naked eyes countless strange beasts rushing towards them, as well as the increased pollution of the crown, which suddenly deepened their discomfort.
Just like the tide, the waves roll back and forth.
“Grandpa!”
Fei Man spoke subconsciously.
"You open the barrier—"
She placed her hand on the barrier and spoke to Ebenino.
But it was obvious that Ebenino simply couldn't understand this.
He just hesitated for a moment, and looked back and forth twice between the place where he felt comfortable and the places behind him that made him particularly uncomfortable. The next moment, the wings behind him suddenly spread out, and when the pollution and those strange beasts hit the barrier, he let out an angry roar. This time he did not look back. He rushed over and bit and tore those strange beasts to pieces.
At this moment, the entire barrier was flashing due to the impact.
Those spiritual forces that had been silent all this time, like poplar trees or nails nailed here, began to become active.
The barrier blocks the pollution and tries to help Ebenino.
In fact, Ebenino was able to handle the situation with ease, and a roundabout approach would obviously be better, but he was stubborn and stayed here, unwilling to leave.
"Deal with the strange beasts that were missed nearby."
Amos gave the order.
The Crown Clan members who were still rushing over here responded one by one through the communicators, and the cannons of the Saint Cass starship were also aimed at the strange beasts that rushed out.
“Beep, beep—”
The little cub was feeling so uncomfortable that he unconsciously wrapped himself up with his feathery little wings. Now he raised his eyes and looked over.
Amos just responded, held little Chuzao in his arms, and dealt with these things with the spiritual sword in his hand. He looked back at Aiyara, who reacted belatedly and stepped forward.
"He should have been able to leave here on his own—"
Amos said.
This is already very obvious.
Why does Ebenino appear here like this?
"But we have the First Army here. The mental power of the soldiers of the First Army is mixed with that of Ebenino."
So when the First Army was destroyed, when Ebenino lost consciousness and was also destroyed.
Ebenino was contaminated, and his mental power was connected with the mental power of the soldiers of the First Army to form this barrier. Essentially, he was not in the normal form of the Crown Clan at this moment.
Of course, this is obvious at first glance.
And given the current state of their mental strength.
What happened at the beginning is also clear at a glance.
Ebenino, who was able to briefly cross the pollution and protect himself, did not leave the First Army for some reason. The First Army was also unwilling to leave. In the pollution that even the Crown Clan was helpless against, they tried hard to protect Ebenino.
So in the end there was wreckage all over the place.
This constitutes a line of defense.
Amos exhaled deeply.
Little Chuzao was still uncomfortably buried in Amos' arms, with the little wings behind him trembling slightly. They did not dare to destroy the barrier easily, and could only deal with some strange beasts that slipped over to help reduce the burden on the other side.
This pollution tide lasted for about half an hour.
After all this was over, Ebenino did not return here. He flapped his wings and flew to another planet on the other side of the barrier. He slowly landed, as if his strength had been affected and he was resting to recover.
As for Saint Cass, the situation he speculated about was extremely uncomfortable.
"alright."
Amos retracted his strength and felt the impact on his crown. The little cub in his arms looked extremely uncomfortable. It hadn't even raised its head from the beginning, but just curled up in his arms, as if it was gradually adapting to the dizzy and uncomfortable feeling.
But compared to the previous fever caused by overdrawn strength, this little guy's strength has improved greatly.
"Tell them to return to the warship in time, contact Frey, declare Saint Cass to be in a state of emergency, establish a barrier defense line, do not take it lightly, observe the situation on the other side of the barrier, and complete further research on the contaminated materials and instruments as soon as possible."
Amos suppressed all those unstable emotions that could easily lead to misjudgment back into his heart, and his voice was still orderly, calm and steady as he gave orders one by one.
The Angel Fountain Stone in the little cub's pocket lit up slightly and began to flicker gently.
It seemed to relieve Xiao Chuzao's uncomfortable feeling.
The little cub finally looked up.
“Beep, beep—”
The little guy opened a pair of big watery honey-colored eyes.
"The power of algae is not enough—"
"That's great-grandpa, right?"
The tiny cub looked over there tentatively, observing the place where Ebenino last disappeared.
Although the little guy might have felt a little uncomfortable in the past, he could basically complete what he wanted to do smoothly.
But Ebenino was an exception, his condition was too serious.
The power accumulated in the little guy's tiny crown is not enough to repair the cracks in Ebenino's barrier that has lasted for more than a hundred years.
"Yes, it's my great-grandfather."
Amos looked at the little guy's pale face.
"It's okay, Zao Zao."
As he spoke, his voice, which usually showed little emotion, became a little gentler.
"Take it slow, you're not grown up yet."
Little Chuzao blinked his eyes and nodded his little head gently.
“But it works”
The little guy lay in Amos' arms.
Speaking softly.
"Zao Zao can help great-grandpa. Ba Ba, go talk to aunt, okay? Zao Zao can help. Tell aunt not to cry."
Why don't you say it yourself?
The little cub was still a little shy, and his aunt was a kissing maniac.
The tiny cub wasn't feeling well at the moment, but he still gave this important task to Amos.
At this moment, the tide of pollution seemed to have stopped, but the light of those barriers was still flickering slightly.
It seemed that the mental power injected by Zao Zao just now not only helped stabilize Ebenino's crown - no, it should be said that it solidified some of Ebenino's mental crown fragments, but also made the mental power in the barrier, which had already had no vitality, slightly active.
Some obsessions and emotions were transmitted through the faint light emitted by the Angel Source Stone in Xiao Chuzao's pocket.
Xiao Chuzao was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the faintly glowing barrier behind him, which was the defense line built for Saint Cass.
Xiao Chuzao slowly opened his eyes wide.
He seemed to hear the sounds from within the barriers, which were noisy and chaotic.
They are saying -
"Santa Cass—it's Santa Cass—it seems to be Santa Cass—"
Or maybe it wasn't them who were saying it, it was just their obsession, the obsession of looking back in the direction of Saint Cass in their dying moments.
At this moment, things are beginning to reappear in this extremely emotionally sensitive little cub.
"Is it Sancas? My hometown... My hometown... I want to go back to my hometown..."
These obsessions have been buried here along with their dying mental strength.
Until Xiao Chuzao's response.
"It's... Saint Cass."
Others could not hear it, they could only see the flickering barrier. They also heard the little cub's soft words, and the crown on the cub's head was also flickering slightly. His mental power slowly rushed out, and unlike that of other crown clans, Xiao Chuzao's mental power was softer and touched these barriers little by little.
In an instant, it seemed as if they were completely lit up.
"It's Sancas - it really is my hometown -"
"How is your hometown? How is Saint Cass?"
'Have we succeeded in protecting Saint Cass? Is Saint Cass behind us still as prosperous as before? -Have we done anything? With our weak power, have we done anything?'
'Homeland - Homeland -'
The lights flickered, causing the barrier to tremble slightly, creating a small buzzing sound.
The cub looked at the long line of defense, and with his already overdrawn mental strength he was still trying to comfort it - Saint Cass was still there.
The Sancas and the Crown Clan are still there.
So in the end, the humming sound had some tone, and it was a little out of tune, forming an ancient tune that was written by the former Saint Cass people for the Crown Clan not long after Saint Cass was established.
On this wreckage, in this place where there is no living thing, it plays in the silence.
Not long ago, such a melody had echoed in the military base of Saint Cas Emperor Star when the warship of the Ninth Army was about to set sail. The past and the present seemed to be intertwined - everyone watched all this, especially the people of Saint Cas, they were trembling, nothing was more shocking than this moment - the last and most rebellious voice of the long-lost First Army.
Aiyala stared blankly, and then he saw the cub raised his hands to cover his eyes, and his little wings seemed to tremble, and then he looked at him again, as if silently saying - Look, uncle, they have done a lot of things.
Short but brilliant.
They are not completely fearless in the face of sacrifice, and they still have the obsession of returning home when they are dying, but they still stand here, refusing to open the barrier even a little bit, refusing to succumb to pollution, never!
so--
Ayala heard the little guy say.
"Zao Zao must remember them, and then, one day, bring them home."
