Chapter 132
Is he dead?
Amemiya Reizo opened his mouth slightly and clenched his fists at his sides.
Arya means that if he does what he wants instead of following the world line, he will die?
If you count carefully, he has already spent more than six years in other worlds in order to complete the system mission and stay alive, which accounts for a full third of his original life.
He used these six years, or perhaps even longer, to fight for a future.
Now he was being told that he would fail, that everything he had done was in vain, that he would die, unless he could follow through with the plan and make Arya die, make Uni become the Rainbow Child, and set the world right.
Hearing this, Amamiya Keisei should have been scared, but he felt very calm, even a little relieved.
He thought, am I really trying so hard to stay alive because I’m afraid of death?
If he was really afraid of death, he could have completely followed Tsushima Shuji's idea, given him full support, and encouraged the boy to find the meaning of life in his own suicidal way.
He could also simply push Amauchi Riko into a situation of sacrifice. As long as Tengen successfully assimilated her, he wouldn't need to risk upgrading his own abilities to break her original destiny.
He also won't sit in front of Arya and wait quietly until Arya dies and the bug is automatically cleared.
From the very beginning, he was not afraid of death. He was just afraid of disappointing those who truly wanted him to live, his parents, friends, and everyone who cared about him.
"Mr. Amamiya?" Arya called softly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Amamiya Reisei shook his head and smiled with a sigh: "I was just thinking, if I died, my friends would definitely be sad."
He imagined Hibari Kyoya's sad expression and found it a little funny. Although he knew it was impossible, he still wanted to see Hibari Kyoya crying.
“So I will try my best to survive.”
Amamiya Reizo's vision blurred, and he looked up at Yuni. The girl also looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
It was obvious that the other party had guessed his decision and knew that he would not give up his original idea. As the time they looked at each other grew longer, tears gradually welled up in Yuni's eyes. She reached out and stroked Amamiya's cheek.
Amemiya Leisei felt the familiar fluctuations of power, and the intensity of his power slowly climbed. It did not collapse his body in one explosion like in the previous world, but was like a thin stream of water, slowly flowing into the river or the sea.
[Host.]
The system suddenly said: [Are you really determined to do this?]
Blood was flowing out of the corner of Amamiya Rei's mouth: [What would happen if I didn't do this?]
[System, the condition of the main body has been getting worse and worse, and it is almost unable to hold on.]
[Even if I don't do this, I won't be able to hold on for long. The problems in this world are easy to solve, but it takes a lot of time. When I return to the last mission, how long will I have left?]
He sighed deeply: [It's too late, system, I'm going to die soon.]
Even across the world, he could feel the weakness of his body. It was a miracle that his broken body, which had lasted for eighteen years and should have died on the day it reached adulthood, could rely on the system to hold on for another month.
No matter what he chose to do, he couldn't hold on any longer, so he didn't make any choice but just made the ending as he wished at the last moment.
[No, host, it's not too late!] The system said in a panic, [How could you die! Look, you should stop first, like I said before, solve the problems of Bai Lan and Irie Shoichi, and then return to the previous world to complete the mission. When you come back, Uni will have become the Son of Rainbow, and the mission here will be completed. Isn't this the most perfect way!]
[Then tell me, System, how much time will it take me to solve Bai Lan's problem, and how much time do I have left?]
Amamiya Raizo asked this, but he didn't intend to let the system answer, and continued: [Bai Lan, that guy, only believes in himself. If you don't spend more than two years to make him unable to find other worlds, he won't believe that they don't exist.]
[You don't have to lie to me. I know my own business. How can one energy be enough if it is split into four parts? I recovered quickly after fighting with Gong Mi before. I don't believe it was all the doctor's credit. System, did you even use up your own reserve energy?]
The system said in a muffled voice: […No, how is that possible? The backup energy is for emergencies…]
[So you think my health problem is an emergency?]
[……]
Amamiya Ruisei said with a smile: [System, we have been together for so many years, how can you think that I don’t understand you? Since coming to this world, you have become much less talkative, and the rest of the time you are in hibernation, and only the task function can be used.]
[Be good and tell me. I won’t be mad at you.]
[There is still 15% of reserve energy.] The system whispered. When it first bound itself to Amamiya Keizo, it had more than 80% of reserve energy. But it has been using more than it earns, and it is slowly becoming less and less. [Your body can still support 38 hours. If you decide to cut off your fate now, you only have one day left.]
The system originally approached Amamiya Reizo in order to cooperate with the host and earn energy to repair itself. Unfortunately, the host had not completed any of his tasks. It should have been untied in the previous world so that it could use the remaining energy to find the next host.
But why, with its reserve energy decreasing, is it still by Amamiya Tesei's side?
The system’s mechanical brain can’t figure it out, so no matter how intelligent it is, it’s just an AI.
Maybe it's because it's a very lucky thing to have someone by your side when you die.
[Is that so?] Amamiya Ruisei said, [Then why don't you just untie the system and find a host. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you and made you use up your reserve energy.]
[Host?!]
Amamiya Leisei ignored the system's shouting. The increase in strength made his consciousness a little fuzzy. He held Yuni's hand and motioned her to look up at the sky with him.
"Yoni, do you see it? There are stars all over the sky."
The stars should not be visible during the day, but the stars seemed to be reflected in Amamiya Raisei's eyes. Even Yuni, who was holding his hand, saw the same thing and nodded in response.
“I saw them. They are beautiful.”
Amamiya Raisei raised his hand and pointed at the two stars that were closest to each other: "Those are the stars of you and your mother."
As soon as he finished speaking, two silver lines came down from the sky, connecting the two people in front of him.
He pointed to a huge star surrounded by many stars and said, "That represents the fate of the Children of the Rainbow. The stars around it represent people in the past and you of the present." There was also a line on that big star connected to Arya, which represented the fate of the Children of the Rainbow.
"The starry sky is beautiful, but not everyone is willing to have such stars and such a destiny."
Amemiya Ruisei hooked his finger, and without any grand momentum or dazzling light, the thin threads extending to the Rainbow Child were easily cut off without making any sound.
"Look, we don't have to follow fate, and from now on, every day should be so perfect."
And his fate is about to reach its end.
