Crash, I am in a pre-civilization

Xiaozhi: "Sure enough, it is more likely to be an old antique!" "Compared to the other options, Fuhua has the highest probability of success.

"I choose B, Fu Hua."

[Wrong answer, correct answer A: Prometheus

] [Punishment measure: small knowledge, become a ten-year-old child]

Wonderful! Fu Hua thought.

"Eh?! Actually answered incorrectly?! "Xiaozhi blinked, she didn't understand, didn't understand." Why Prometheus?"

Alicia also nodded thoughtfully: "Isn't Prometheus an artificial intelligence?" Why would she do such a thing? Moreover, how did she do such a thing?

As we all know, Prometheus is an artificial intelligence who has the ability to think alone like a human, but after all, she is not a real human and cannot understand the meaning of certain human actions - such as the act of slapping.

But the correct answer this time turned out to be her.

This made everyone feel puzzled, even as several heroes who had been in contact with her, he remained skeptical.

"Could it be that the Q&A space made a mistake?" The conductor said uncertainly.

"Has the Q&A space gone wrong so far?" Mebius asked rhetorically.

"Uh, it doesn't seem to be." Pardolphyllis shook her head.

[A dreamlike but strange space, empty inside, like a vacant building for people, and in the middle of the clearing, a familiar white-haired man sat there.

It was as if time and space had isolated him from eternity.

"That was... Kevin!"

It all began and will end here.

At this moment, even if the seven billion people on Earth are not merged into the same dream... I am afraid that they will also look at the bright moon in the sky.

Since the birth of civilization, this gray star has appeared noble and extraordinary in people's hearts because of its silence.

But to be fair, it's just a solitary beauty created by just the right sense of distance.

Today, in the dark dome of the sky, the 'throne' forged by the sacrifices of the times is hanging above this dry soil - but no longer contains any meaning of 'king's presence' - it is only the 'divine rank' of the usurper.

Prometheus was talking to Kevin, saying it was a conversation... In fact, this is not the case, from the actual situation, this is just a one-sided speech.

Prometheus narrates, and Kevin listens in silence --

"I see."

After listening to the other party's story, the man's tone was the same as usual, but this was the most abnormal place for her.

Prometheus: "......"

After perceiving something, the artificial intelligence began to sort out in its own way whether the description just missed something.

Otherwise, after fully knowing the beginning and end of that world bubble and hearing the dying wishes of that Dr. May... Why does the other party not respond?

This man is indeed no longer ignorant - but his words and actions at the moment seem unreasonable.

“...... Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Nope."

Kevin's voice was still as cold as an iceberg, unwavering: "The future of the stigmata project is harmful to you. Leave early. "

“......... So, what about you?"

Kevin was silent for a moment, and did not answer Prometheus's question: "Leave the original world." That way, you still have your own future. "

Men can only repeat clichés in their usual tones. The promises of the past hold on to too many memories for him to talk about.

But in the face of this old friend who was killed by his own hands... He didn't want to be too perfunctory.

"Anyway... Thank you for telling me all this. "The

look of Boss Kevin... It's so cold..."

Pado's expression looked a little fearful, not because Kevin had great power, but for the partner who should have been familiar at the moment, but it seemed particularly strange at the moment... This fear stems from the unknown.

"Obviously, when Dr. May was mentioned in the past, even if Boss Kevin deliberately remained indifferent in front of us, there would still be obvious mood swings..." In

fact, even Kevin, who has become the face of the iceberg in the future, is still trying his best to maintain his original appearance when facing Mei alone in private.

Even when he was alone with Su, his eternal iceberg face would be like melting ice and snow.

However, this Kevin in the picture now makes people feel the slightest temperature, as if all emotions are frozen in his heart.

"I can feel that Kevin... The weight on your shoulders... As well as despair.

Su couldn't help but open her eyes, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Kevin

..." Alicia also seemed to be able to feel the despair of the Kevin in the picture: "You don't have to force yourself so much..."

Fu Hua also sighed deeply and stopped speaking.

【“...... I don't understand.

Prometheus was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Dr. May said, you are a lonely boy.

"But it seems to me that compared to me... You are even further away from the definition of 'human'.

"It's not difficult for me to accept a verdict."

Kevin remained calm: "Since in Mei's opinion, the future lawyer will have the ability to carry the future of mankind... Then I am willing to do my best to leave them far more than 'half a day'.

"But all you do is watch the fire from the other side."

Prometheus said: "In a familiar but strange world, the long and desperate struggle against the unattainable is too cruel to be borne by a group of young people." "

“...... Do you mean them, or do you mean us?" Kevin asked rhetorically.

Prometheus fell silent.

Obviously, the man in front of him is not a character who likes to ridicule others with words.

But his question did dispel Prometheus' desire to continue talking.

That's right, the kind of struggle that takes thousands of years to be effective, even if it does happen to those girls, there is nothing special about it.

The man in front of him has also experienced this.

Under the sun, there is nothing new.

"So..."]

Bronia: "Squad leader, how old are you when you fight against Honkai?"

"My words, when I really joined the Fire Moth to become a warrior, was in high school."

Fu Hua opened his mouth and replied, "Of course, even so, there were actually many warriors who were younger than me at that time.

"By the way, Kevin this guy also joined the fire moth when he was in high school."

Xiao Zhi replied: "And it was still actively requested!" Regardless of the unexpected, Kevin is the youngest person to voluntarily join the Fire Moth.

"Oops~ Xiaozhi, did you forget me?" Alicia disagreed with this: "The cute fairy lady joined the fire moth when she was 16 years old~

" Xiaozhi: "Huh? Aren't you a lawyer?! "

The lawyer is also 16 years old~!"

Alicia emphasized: "16 years old!

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, and I keep emphasizing that I am 16 years old!" Xiaozhi only felt that her braincase hurt, and the other party was not in front of her, otherwise she would definitely let her know what the law of knowledge was. (Xiaozhi has modified your consciousness, and now you are a fat woman.)

"Speaking of age, the person who knows the law should be less than two years old, right?" Teresa said suddenly.

"Nonsense, I'm a Shenzhou Immortal!"

"Not yet two years old."

"But the cruelest things are not what has already happened, but what is coming. The

feather rabbit, who had been silent since his arrival, finally spoke at this moment: "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to keep silent.

"Who is this! This?! Looking at the face that was ninety-nine percent similar to Cecilia, Pound Lisa was stunned.

"This is the feather rabbit, which is considered a member of the World Snake." Mo Xiu explained. "Although the other party can also be regarded as Shanyat's."

Her gaze wandered to Prometheus, then withdrew lightly.

"It's just that I wish she could realize it herself — just like she did."

"For humans, of course, this is not a gap,"

Feather Rabbit paused, and continued, "But it is also the plan you put your hand on me, and it is the thing that needs it most at the moment." "

Oh?"

"Although we don't have full evidence..."

Feather Rabbit looked at Kevin with a determined expression: "But even if this plan completely completes the codification of space, you... You can't do it once and for all, can you?"

Prometheus adds that by its very nature, 'it is never willing to voluntarily select someone to become the so-called 'law of the end.'

In the past, people designed the existence called 'Broken Will' in the new era precisely to avoid the birth of the lawyer too quickly.

Today, the will to collapse has dissipated.

Kevin's method of obtaining the power of the end from the 'cocoon' is also close to stealing -

"Therefore, the great cause of the Stigmata Project will probably never really succeed."

The feather rabbit concluded: "You who can control the power of the end with your own will and your own conditions... It must always be carried, and the regiment is capable of not failing.

"As it should be." Kevin nodded.

"Yes, I understand that for you, that's the only right thing to do."

She looked at the man who had silently returned to the throne and let out a sympathetic sigh.

During his 50,000-year journey, he fulfilled every promise he made.

He defeated Honkai as a human body, and as a sinner, he took up the ideal of "salvation" for the last time.

And such a man ....

"You... Do you just want one death?

Feather asked.

In the face of Feather Rabbit's words, Kevin was noncommittal, he was just doing what he had to do, nothing more.

In the face of the stubborn Kevin, the feather rabbit also knew that he could not change his mind, and comforted Kevin after giving up the name of the [Feather Rabbit] given to her by the World Snake.

Kevin, however, responded calmly—

"That's redundant."

Kevin said lightly: "Compared to destroying Honkai, all I did was put it in a cage."

"But I will assimilate this time frame with the lifespan of the planet."

"Even if you're going to be in this... Is it impossible for you to live alone forever in a world that is already empty?"

Mistelin asked, "Even because of the power of the end... It is impossible for you to rediscover the meaning of being alive like your comrades in the past.

"We have no other way."

Kevin's answer was still calm to indifference: "As for the meaning of what you said, I don't need it." "

“...... yes, even without that kind of thing, haven't you come to where you are today?"

Mistelin exhaled deeply, "Well, let's leave, Number Seventeen."

"Wait, does this mean..."

Alicia's eyes widened slightly: "Will Kevin carry the power of the end until the end of the life of this planet?!"

"This, in this case, isn't Boss Kevin...!" Pardot was a little scared.

Anyone can know the ending... That means that for the next long to almost infinite time, Kevin will be stationed alone on this uninhabited planet, silently waiting for his own demise in an endless river of time.

- This is undoubtedly a torture beyond death.

Even just thinking about it is terrifying!

However, everyone looked up, and the man who knew his future end, Kevin, was still as calm as at the beginning, as if human emotions were completely absent in him.

Or... As early as tens of thousands of years ago, his heart had already followed everything from the pre-civilizational era - buried.

Just when everyone fell silent.

[In the face of Mistelin's request to leave, Prometheus showed a hint of puzzlement.

“...... Now?"

"yes, although I find it unbelievable, things just got to be like this."

Mistelin seemed to regret and said, "You and I... Although he is not a human being, he has the freedom that belongs to human beings.

"You can live according to your own will, you can die according to your will."

"Rebelling against one's own destiny – this is the prerogative of human beings. And he..."

Mistelin glanced at Kevin, who was back on the throne, "but became an existence who knew fate but still chose to devote himself to it."

Prometheus: "......" Naturally

, as in the past, she once again fell into a state of near-"unresponsiveness."

"Okay... No need to try to search for a 'definition' for him.

Mistelin interrupted Prometheus's reflection: "If I had to add some kind of title to this existence, I think... That's just the word 'hero,' right?"

"--I'm not qualified to challenge this kind of existence."

The mechanical girl did not give an answer - it would still take a long time for her to fully digest these ambiguous but extremely determined human hearts.

After a brief delay, she followed Misterine's gesture and followed the other to the edge of the huge throne.

Through the ability to move freely between stigmata space and reality, a door has unfolded there, connecting the two 'humans' on their journey to begin.

And before that -

"... Number seventeen?"

- Snap!

She stretched out a hand and, with a pitiful force, slapped the god-like being in the face.

Even if he is not really a god, this action is too bold for an artificial intelligence and completely contrary to reason.

...... Also natural, in vain.

"You should at least shed a tear for her."

Prometheus looked straight at him, "This is my anger as her friend." "

—she knew she couldn't get any answers.

This man, even if he really had the experience of waking up in tears late at night... That's too far back.

All his sorrow has been tempered by a long period of time, and it is difficult to reveal it through ordinary people.

- She is not a fool, she knows all this.

But because of this, she decided to slap this person ten times.

After a long silence, Prometheus finally retracted his movements.

With a wordless back, she conveyed her disappointment one last time.

Without saying a word, the man watched quietly as the two visitors left just like that—in terms of the power at his disposal, the attitude he showed today may be too 'listening',

but it was the way it was—

this man was not a 'king', not a 'god', but... 'Kevin. 】
