Chapter 25: Desire and Freedom (6200)

Dragon Ball Wars, late at night on the third day.

The rain is pouring down.

On the earth, the countless ice and snow that had evaporated due to the battle between the dragons turned into rain again, and came to the world at a temperature even colder than snow.

In the darkness of the rain, nothing can be heard but the sound of the rain, and nothing can be seen but the rain.

But somewhere, under the hill, there was a strange jade-white pillar standing in the circular crater, releasing a faint aura in the darkness where the fingers could not be seen.

The jade-white pillar is roughly cylindrical in shape, it has a complex structure, the whole body is smooth, and the appearance releases an amazing high heat, and the rain splashes on it, only stirring up a large amount of white water vapor.

But no matter how high the temperature is, it will be quickly cooled down in this downpour.

- Hiss.

And just as a large amount of steam was stimulated and the jade pillar cooled, with the sound of metal moving when the valve opened, a door-shaped gap suddenly appeared on the originally flawless jade pillar, and white cooling air sprayed out of it, and it did not disperse in the rain for a long time.

With a click, the hatch opened, and the door-shaped bone fragments fell, and a young girl with white hair and red eyes stumbled out of the protective cabin made of vertebrae.

Her hair was long up to her waist, and she was covered in a close-fitting armor made of fine white dragon scales, and only her exposed neck could see the white skin. Even because of the contrast of white dragon scales, the skin is even more snow-white.

The girl's appearance is perfect beyond nature, like a work of art carved from beautiful jade, but it is also a little less popular, more like a machine than a living thing, and her small and delicate facial features have no emotion, only from the rolling red eyes can you see that she is indeed a living thing.

Compared with some sluggish movements, the girl's thinking was clear, and after stepping out of the hatch and discerning the direction and the location of the previous dragon war, she immediately ran in the rain.

The little girl's pace is not fast, and with the lava everywhere on the ground today, it is even more difficult to choose a path forward. Although the cold environment and rain caused the large lava pits to cool down quickly, it was only the outer layer that cooled down, and under that layer of black shell was still hot magma, which would collapse if you stepped on it slightly.

But the girl can clearly distinguish these traps, and with her own thermal vision, she quickly finds a correct path to the dragon battlefield.

- Victory.

Walk through the plains of lava. The girl could sense that now in the entire Northland, the only dragon ball that could continue to operate was the one she held.

- Victory.

Walk across the ruins of the city. She could sense that although the divine dragon she had summoned was not in a good state, he was still alive, still existing, and had not dissipated.

- Victory.

Stepping through icy puddles of water. In the midst of the splashes, the girl suddenly truly understood the point of 'victory'.

- I have won, the Shenlong War is over, and my own command is completed.

The city of Maia, which was already a battlefield, had largely collapsed into a lava pit, and the magma in the pit had been swept away by a dragon god before, and now the endless icy rain was pouring in from all directions, as if it were about to turn it into a lake.

Next to the lake of the future, the girl's footsteps slowed down as she stood at the edge of the crater, staring blankly at the ruins of the city on the other side of the crater, the rain pouring over her head.

In the midst of the rainstorm, Ora, an android girl, falls into downtime mode.

"What's next for me?"

All the missions have been completed, Aura suddenly lost all the reasons for her actions, she stretched out her hand in a daze, stared at the dragon ball that she had been holding in the palm of her hand, and asked herself in confusion, "What else can I do?" ”

According to the instructions entered by the Boin Workshop when he made himself, he should obey the orders of Lord Maia.

According to Lord Maia's orders, his mission is to do everything in his power to win the Dragon Ball War.

According to the highest law of victory, he followed the dragon Candle Sun and fought with him.

And now, all the instructions have been completed, although it has nothing to do with him, but the Dragon Ball War has indeed been decided.

- After the victory, I should be abandoned.

Or, as a specimen of victory, after being extinguished, it was placed as a statue or somethingβ€”it seems that Lord Maia had ever said so.

Anyway, that's how it ends, whether it's abandoned or enshrined as a statue, in short, you have to leave.

The core of the android has a service life, and during the service life, the android is a rapid and extraordinary combat power, faster than all human cultivation, but after the service life, it will immediately collapse and dissipate, turning into flying ashes, unless it is specially treated, the corpse can be left.

Thirty days, which is the expiration date of Ola, nearly a quarter of which have passed. Although Su Yan gave her a trace of essence blood, it is not clear whether this trace of essence blood is useful now.

In the rain, Ola stopped, and the end of her long white hair was dripping with rain.

But the thinking in my head didn't stop.

- Everything in this world, whether good or bad, what the future should be, what does it have to do with me?

Aura looked around the whole world, and everything he could see was dark and cold rain, and although the world was vast, there was only so much that man could see.

Suddenly, the girl felt an indescribable, incomprehensible, indescribable feeling that would be difficult to describe with the basics of androids. A chill began at the end of the vertebrae and spread throughout the body.

It was a few minutes before she set off again, following the smooth inner arc of the crater toward the center.

Then she saw the huge mountain-like corpse of the white dragon god, and the humanoid dragon lying on its back in the rain in front of the dragon.

Kuaibu felt that Ola didn't say much, she knelt in the rain, stretched out her hand and stroked Su Sun's head and nose, after sensing the warm breath, the girl didn't know why she was relieved, and then hugged the young man's head and put it on her lap.

However, even so, the feeling of emptiness in Ola's heart could not be suppressed.

If you say, all the people who participated in this dragon war have some kind of desire to change the world in their hearts.

Girls, on the other hand, 'don't know' what the world is like.

"Well, I'm not dead yet."

The young man, who was so tired that he couldn't move, said softly, "But if you come a little later, maybe I'll be drowned in the rain." ”

This is no joke, as the rain gets heavier, the water at the bottom of the pit grows more and higher.

However, Ola did not follow the topic down.

"Su Day."

She just habitually hugged the young man's head, then lowered her eyes, looked at the other party, and asked softly in a clear tone, "What wish do you want to take?" ”

"I don't know, I've never thought about it."

Hugged by the girl's soft arms, he replied without thinking, and the young man forced his momentum and laughed: "If you wish or not, it is not within my consideration, anyway, after fighting so many games, I have gained a lot, and my strength can be further improved." ”

"It's you, Ora, what do you want?"

Ola did not answer.

The girl was like a stagnant machine, motionless.

Sensing this, Su Sun also seemed to understand something, he opened his bloodshot eyes, then raised his hand and patted the other party's face: "Although this Dragon Ball War is only three days, the source of all cause and effect is more than twenty years ago. ”

"The story of the Dragon Ball holders has come to an end with the end of the war, and they have lived their long or short lives, because they are dissatisfied with the existing world and want a better world, so they want to make a wish and change the original world."

The young man's words were serious and sincere: "Ora, although you were born at the wish of Lord Maia, the story of all of them is over...... You can live for yourself now. ”

"But I don't know what I'm going to do, Su Day, I don't know anything."

Saying so softly, the white-haired girl closed her eyes, and she felt the unprecedented emptiness she had felt before, and the cold feeling climbed up her spine: "My mission is over...... I can't find a reason to act......"

At this moment, Aura suddenly realized that this strange and indescribable feeling, which was clearly felt in his own heart, seemed to be the thing called 'fear' that the youth had first taught him.

Fear of the 'unknown'.

- No goals, no aspirations, no ideals, no dreams.

- I don't know what I'm going to do now, where I'm going tomorrow, what I'm going to be like in the future, and I don't know the meaning of my existence.

The girl's hand holding Su Sun's head trembled slightly, and with the sudden light of the Dragon Ball, Su Sun could see Ola's expression more clearly.

It was full of fear, full of confusion, more like a human expression than an artificial human.

"What does it matter if you don't know?"

So, the young man's eyes widened, and he replied earnestly: "Do all the people in this world know what they want?" There are only a few people who have aspirations, and the vast majority of people do not know what they want to do in the future, nor do they know what the necessary meaning of their lives is. But this does not prevent people from living happily, because dinner is cumin steak and spicy pig's trotters. ”

"Of course, it's not that the wishes are bad. The person who has a wish is happy because he has the motivation to struggle, but in the same way, the person who has a wish is sad because he will become a slave to his dreams and lose his 'freedom'. ”

"Wishes? Freely? ”

Subconsciously repeated, Aura heard a new vocabulary again, and she blinked her eyes in confusion: "Su Day, you said before, you have no wishes...... So, are you free? ”

"That's not right."

And Su Sun regained his strength, his body absorbed the rain and aura around him, and gradually restored the functions of the vital organs in his body, and the young man patiently explained: "Human beings are creatures that are bound and imprisoned by all kinds of things. Everyone is a miracle or a prisoner of fate, and everyone in this Dragon Ball War, including me, is no exception. ”

"Some time ago, I was given a powerful opportunity that I had never seen before, but because of it, I had to go on a constant quest and fight – but I'm not one to see adventure and fighting as the meaning of life. In the past, I longed to enter the transcendent world, but now I actually want to enjoy the peaceful life in the transcendent world, and this is my wish. ”

"But there will always be someone who will affect this beautiful, peaceful, happy world - so I fight. and people or monsters. ”

"Even a great being can't get in the way of my life, whether it's another aura-cut or a more dangerous future, I won't allow it."

"How can I be free when I have such a desire?"

In the heavy rain after a fierce battle, faced with a blank android girl who knows nothing, the young man is finally able to say his true wish, which cannot be fulfilled by making a wish.

It is a wish that is difficult to tell to the rest of the earth, and only oneself knows about it.

"So, in essence, I'm actually like other Dragon Ball holders, we all want to make the world a better and happier place. It's just that in my original world, there are a lot of good and not so good people who help me, and everyone works hard together...... And the people of this world, limited by the times, they may have joined forces to fight alone, and finally because of their wishes, they fought together and died here. ”

Saying this, Su Sun got up slowly, he gently took away Ola's hand holding his head, turned around, sat cross-legged in the rain, looked at the girl kneeling on the ground, and said calmly: "But, girl, you are different. You and I are different, and everyone else who wants to make a wish. ”

"Now you are free. But human beings are like this, creatures who are born to be bound, because they are too free, so they are afraid, and even want to find shackles and lock themselves in...... Of course, as I said before, this is not a bad thing, because with desire and shackles, people are especially powerful in acting. ”

"You can choose to live freely with nothing, or you can bind yourself to your desires and live a fulfilling life."

"Creating a Better, Happier World......

Repeating Su Day's words again, Ola at this time, like a babbling child, like a repeater, repeatedly revisited the teaching of the older man.

She lowered her head and repeated it several times, then she looked up and asked, puzzledly, "What's the point of creating such a world?" ”

"It doesn't make much sense. Most things in this world don't make much sense, the important thing is to enjoy the process. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Sun patiently taught Ola: "People are not machines, and the important thing is not the purpose. ”

"And to create such a world, at least to make the world more upright, kind, and helpful people like me - when the time comes, everyone will see the road uneven, draw a sword to help, or, like now, teach a good boy like Ola you."

Aura was pinching his palm at this time, and the center of his palm still had the touch of Su Sun's hair and face before, which was very hard and very flexible, not the same as his own and other people's hair and flesh.

"That kind of world ......" After hearing Su Sun's words, she nodded subconsciously: "It seems, it's good." ”

"yes, Qiming thinks so too."

Nodding with satisfaction, Su Sun felt that he seemed to have relieved a confused child, and he was immediately very happy, he stretched out his hand, patted Ola's shoulder, and said softly: "Girl, go, use this, take a little blood from that dragon." ”

Aura followed Su Sun's hand and looked at the white dragon not far away, she nodded, then got up, took the jar that Su Sun took out from the personal space, and stepped on the water to go to the body of the dragon.

There were still knife marks on the dragon's forehead, and something like a white stream of light was flowing out, and Ora didn't know if it was blood, but anyway, he took it first.

Filled with a jar of dragon blood, under Su Sun's guidance, Aura sent the jar of Matvey's blood, which had already begun to be deified and sublimated and turned into the Ancestor Divine Dragon, into Su Sun's personal space and poured it on the roots of the Wisdom Tree that was dozing.

β€œοΌοΌοΌβ€

At that time, the Tree of Wisdom, which had been sleeping and growing, woke up, and before it could say anything, a powerful and pure unprecedented power poured into its bodyβ€”the mysteries contained in the blood of the dragon god turned into brilliant runes and condensed on the branches.

It is the dragon blood that condenses the heavens, the earth and life, returning to the roots, with a trace of the mysterious bloodline of the ancestor dragon, and it is also the best fertilizer that the wisdom tree has obtained for a long time.

It was only a dozen seconds before and after, and as the fire sword angels on the branches of the tree sang happily, the wisdom fruits with snake patterns condensed on the branches!

Not only that, but the Tree of Wisdom itself began to grow rapidly, its branches and leaves grew stronger, and the whole tree began to grow slowly.

And before falling into a deep sleep of growth, its spirit let out a cheer to Su Sun.

"Su Day, love!"

"Well, I love you tooβ€”good boy, get some good sleep."

After lulling the Tree of Wisdom to sleep, Su Sun picked a Wisdom Fruit, and then ignored Yara's coaxing, 'Why don't you turn into a snake?!' The noise was handed to Ora with an unknown expression.

"Eat it, Ora."

"Maybe now, it's still difficult for you to understand what I said before, but as long as you eat it, you can understand, you will understand what is self and position, what is other and relative, and naturally, you will know what is double standards, what is freedom of mind."

"Eat it, and God's creature will become an independent human being. And you, the creature of man, are naturally no exception. ”

Taking the Wisdom Fruit, Aura held the fruit that shimmered with white holy light and was surrounded by faint serpentine patterns on the surface.

"Becoming...... Mankind. ”

She repeated Su Day's words in her heart, as if she had realized something.

And at this moment, the seven dragon balls that had been flashing with light each leaped up and gathered into a ball.

The Orb of Candlelight from Ola, the Orb of the Dragon from Matvey, the Orb of Leviathan from Kumor, the Orb of Fafnir from Vika, the Orb of Gorgon from Evelyn, the Orb of JΓΆrmungard from Mikhail, and the Orb of Quetzalcoatl from Fendt.

The seven dragon balls, emitting different brilliance, leaped from Ola's arms and Matvey's corpse, forming a continuous rotation, end-to-end aura.

So, in the dark night, the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened.

As if some giant creature had opened its eyes, the sun had risen, the moon had risen, and the stars had emerged from behind the dark sky, shining through the rain clouds.

Not only that, but in addition to the sun, moon and starlight, the four poles of heaven and earth are also lit up with incomparably bright divine light, penetrating through the clouds and the sky, and directly into the universe of stars.

And where Su Sun and Aura are located, it is the center of the four poles of heaven and earth, the place where the sun, moon and stars shine together.

The dragon balls kept turning, and the ground and rain buckets around them trembled.

At the bottom of the huge pit, all the rain that had gathered into the lake, and every grain of dust and gravel in it, began to tremble slightly, and then they broke free from the shackles of the earth, and slowly flew towards the sky with the raindrops that flew backwards.

And at the center of the vision of the reversal of heaven and earth, Su Tian was not nervous at all, but looked expectantly at the circle composed of seven dragon balls.

"It's coming!"

His biggest purpose in coming to this world was not to become stronger, nor to find inspiration for his true cosmic battle form...... Of course, these two points are also important, and he did find inspiration and material to become stronger, but this is really not his real purpose.

Su Sun's real purpose was to know Yala's current state.

- Yara on my side is like this, so what is Yara like when I meet here?

Or is it that only the red snake spirit on his side is Yara, and the progenitor dragon of the other worlds, the Chaos Serpent, is just a derivative of the world?

He wanted to know the truth of all this, and the snake spirit did not stop himself, but let himself test and explore......

Now, the situation is about to be revealed.

Soon, as the tremor of the sky stopped, the ring of seven dragon balls disappeared.

At the top of the sky, the sun and moon turned into a pair of huge dragon pupils, and a giant dragon composed of starry milky mountains looked down on the world, making a sound that could be called 'gentle'.

[Hello, wish-maker, it's a pleasure to meet you.] 】

[Congratulations on collecting all seven Dragon Balls.] 】

[My name is 'Initiate', but most people call me the Beginning.] 】

"This world was created by me, and many of my children live in it. 】

[But I am not omniscient and omnipotent, I don't know what kind of world is perfect for them, so I opened up some permissions to them to transform their own world. 】

[Naturally, there will be contradictions and strife, and I do not interfere in all this, only respond to the wishes of the victors. 】

[This is the essence of Dragon Ball and making a wish, so don't forget before making a wish - I am not omniscient, and Dragon Ball is even more so, if you want to make a wish, make a reasonable wish.] 】

This voice was so soft, different from the previous vision, it did not shake anything, and in Su Tian's ears, it was extremely soft and extremely clear.

How to put it, it's like snowflakes falling slowly in the breeze...... It's that gentle tone.

Soon, the creation dragon that surrounded the world with the sun and moon as its eyes and the stars as its body noticed Su Sun, he stared at it for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: [Ah, the divine dragon of the other world, you give me a very close feeling...... Well, so is the loser next to me, have the kids grown to this point? 】

[Anyway, make a wish.] 】
