"They are your companions who have been with you for over a year! You shouldn't abandon them!"
"Sigh, this is a real headache." You disconnected the internet, contemplating whether to demonstrate your extraordinary ability to manipulate the primordial energy of heaven and earth, or to act like you're holding them hostage—what does it have to do with me?—when Xu Yan suddenly spoke.
"Brother Yunshou, I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
"The most dramatic part is about to happen."
"You've always been so carefree, happy, and vengeful, yet you endured for over a year before finally revealing your true self so that your brother could take revenge himself..."
"I don't want to be a burden to you. You are the most outstanding person in the world. You are destined to grow to a point where no one can fight back. You shouldn't be bound."
You stared in disbelief: "No way...no way..."
"If it weren't for you, my brother would have died two years ago, and I wouldn't have been able to survive on my own. I would have died sooner or later..."
"My brother secretly told me that you were betrayed by your apprentices and subordinates in your past life. My talent is too poor; I will never be able to catch up with you and will only become a burden."
"Brother Yun Shou, you must live your life to the fullest!"
Xu Yan shouted, "And also, I like you!"
"Yoho!"
[Having said that, she immediately went to grab the gun from the guard beside her. The guard's nerves were already taut from her earlier chanting, and now, with the slightest fluctuation in his strength, the bullet was fired, piercing her skull.]
【you:"……"】
You were stunned by that confession and didn't react in time.
Okay, that's because you didn't take it seriously.
[You're just thinking to yourself: Women in love are all idiots.]
She'd risk her life just to make the man she loves more "happy".
[And she overestimated you, didn't take you seriously, and didn't consider whether you would feel worse about enduring the pain of not seeking revenge, or about losing a friend forever.]
"If what Twelve said is true, that he is a reincarnation of the former Mech King, then Iron has turned evil after facing this situation."
"The following plot is about a person who has lost his joy and sense of humor and has deep inner trauma climbing back to the top step by step, and is cold-blooded and ruthless along the way. He is a fundamentalist protagonist who is decisive and ruthless."
"After completing his 'revenge' and ascending to the throne of the King of the Sky, he began to reminisce about the past, about the silly and adorable girl he met when he was rising again."
"On the throne of the supreme ruler of the airspace, the mech pilots who came to worship did not witness the brilliant piloting concepts, nor did they see the peerless mech blueprints. They only heard a distant sigh, which expressed regret for hundreds and thousands of years."
"But there are no ifs, she still has resurrection coins."
Yun Shou gloated: "I can't help but laugh when I think about how she'll face Twelve after she's resurrected on the spot and finds out she's not dead."
"Wait a minute, Twelve isn't having an easy time with her either."
"I want to laugh even more now."
You think this is absolutely ridiculous.
The chairman thinks it's even more damn damn.
The hostages' request to die was too abrupt. He wasn't demanding, "Take off your exoskeleton and surrender, then I'll let them go." He just wanted you to spare their lives and let them develop their territory in the airspace!
Thus, he was left with only Xuwen.
Xu Wen's personality is relatively cowardly; he believes that living is more important than anything else.
[Under normal circumstances, he would be perfectly happy to be a freeloader, living a life of luxury, and to be a hostage alongside his sister.]
If it weren't for Xu Yan's incident, he might have even begged you to go to the airspace alone, pretending you never saw the two of them.
But my sister died.
At that moment, Xu Wen felt as if he too had died.
He suddenly realized that he had no other goals than to make his sister's life better, nothing more.
He wasn't afraid of death itself; he was afraid that after he died, no one would take care of his sister who had difficulty walking. He was afraid of death because of that sense of responsibility.
Now, he's come to terms with it.
"Boss, if it weren't for you, I would have died in a pool of blood long ago. I'm still alive now, and I even know the cause of my parents' deaths and avenged them with my own hands. All of this is a gain."
"I won't bother you any longer. Xiaoyan has already left, and as her older brother, I need to hurry over there."
"Don't shoot!" the chairman shouted.
However, Xu Wen, with the force of Cao Cao, rampaged through his body, destroying his own life force.
You couldn't help but say, "Are you two both idiots?"
[Xu Wen was not completely dead yet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Yan loved you so deeply, yet you wouldn't even shed a single tear for her..."]
You shake your head: "Don't be so dramatic, because the pain will pass quickly."
"It's been over a year, and only now do I realize how cold-blooded you truly are." Xu Wen closed his eyes. "Boss, you really don't act like a boss."
He too died of anger.
Chairman: "..."
【you:"……"】
"It seems I miscalculated." The chairman smiled sadly. "They weren't partners in your heart, perhaps just two toys you raised in your spare time."
"The hostage plan was doomed from the start. You didn't care about their lives, you weren't willing to be moved or saddened by it. We lost too completely."
You eliminate everyone present and end this future.
Outside the last room of the conglomerate, you open your eyes, and your lips twitch as you receive that memory.
"You two idiots, you want to die? I'll let you experience it."
[You've decided to reenact that future scenario. Although the life-substitution spell on the siblings was set when they were at a lower level, it hasn't been used once, so its energy is plentiful.]
[The internet is cut off, the brother and sister commit suicide, and you take out the last remaining high-ranking officials here, including the chairman of the board.]
Then find a table, sit down in front of their corpses, and wait quietly for them to resurrect.
The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more additional functions the Life Substitution Technique can possess.
[You added a delayed resurrection effect from the beginning, so that the character would resurrect on the spot ten minutes after death.]
[Because you need to prevent them from being killed multiple times at once, thus depleting their lives in a short period of time.]
[If an ordinary person had 100 life-saving spells, all capable of instant resurrection, then if a machine gun with 101 bullets were pointed at their head, they would die completely after a few seconds once the bullets were exhausted.]
For powerful individuals, the drawback of delayed resurrection through substitution spells is significant. Because they are powerless to resist after death, enemies may be able to trace the effects of spells on their corpse or soul during that time, directly erasing the substitution spell and rendering them truly dead.
However, on the abandoned mining planet, no one could break through the spell laid down by a sixth-realm True Emperor; they couldn't even detect the fluctuations of the spell!
...
(4 AM, will we reach the airspace tomorrow? (ˉ﹃ˉ?))
