The light is expanding.

The light is flowing.

The excited mass of particles and the white glow of Dilendal rushed towards each other at the same time, and at very close range, the two masses of energy, moving at sub-light speeds, met in a span of events called "Moments". Condescendingly, the Super Mana particle cannon that unleashes ultra-high heat and shock waves along the way evaporates all the sea of clouds. The torrent of particles that had been accelerated and condensed in nine stages was enough to destroy all the particles in its path, whether it was a large battleship or a base stronghold, and in front of the particle cannonballs fired at full power, it was nothing more than a pile of dust.

What is facing that torrent of destruction is the afterglow of a "miracle" that cannot be defined by the laws of physical reality.

There are no impurities, a pure, temperatureless white glow. Before the holy light that brought together many resonant wills and embodied the mind as the physical impact of reality, the sky and the sea were rendered pure white without exception. The dazzling white impact took the form of a dragon, and the dragon of light, freed from its shackles, broke through the dark fog and roared angrily to take Azdahaka.

In the time when it was too late to think, the battle between the two energies was divided.

As it is about to hit Roland's particle beam, the trajectory is distorted.

Colliding with the white holy light, the particle beam could neither shatter nor evaporate the target, leaving a distorted trail in front of Roland, and it shot into the sky in vain. The waterfall of the Holy Light swept up countless whirlpools and rushed towards Azdahaka.

Maybe it's a miracle, maybe it's God's mercy. Bathed in the holy light, Azdahaka actually regained a trace of clarity, and for the first time his distorted face showed a very quiet expression.

Is that...... What the?

Can't remember who he is. I forgot what this place was, what I was doing, and even how to make a voice to express my anxiety and fear.

Only a few fragments of the memory of the battle flashed in front of me like a marquee, and in an unusually slow time, a small erect creature with two limbs, unlike himself, was fighting with him-

"Ahhhh ”

The picture stops flowing and starts at the middle point. The fissure is radially widened and derived. Fragments of memory shatter and sink into nothingness.

"Life is the accumulation of experiences and choices, and memory is one of the mediums of accumulation, the carrier of personality. Without memory, there is no personality. ”

A ripple is created in the void. Humanoid clumps emerge from nothingness. The mass quickly outlined the appearance of the black-haired and black-clothed boy, and the blood-red abyss-like pupils shone brightly. To the black dragon who had forgotten who he was, the pitch-black boy said:

"It looks like you have forgotten who I am? Should I say 'what a pity' at this time? That kind of behavior is pointless. ”

Who is he? No, what is he? Why is he here?

The stiff brain seemed to react to the boy in black and began to think about the problem. However, lacking a clear direction and logic, relying on the brain-damaged operation of inertia, this work cannot be completed, and the only way to do so is to wait for the other party's action.

"You're a great tool. ”

The boy's voice was as low as a sigh, lacking intonation but unusually smooth.

"You've done a pretty good job, including following the setting and 'defeating your opponent at any cost'. ”

Azdahaka has never been careless about Li Lin, and he is always on guard against this all-knowing and all-powerful master. But he had never thought that some things were more likely to happen the more he was on guard, and he had never heard the phrase "the devil is in the details".

In the surgical circuit of the reinforcement component, there is a hidden operation system that interferes with the spirit.

The conventional manipulation method is to imprint the procedure directly into the subject's cerebral marrow, and then it is more necessary to choose which mental manipulation or induction to perform. This is not a rare procedure, and it is used in a considerable number of ways on the brain quantum wave sensing framework.

Therefore, some manipulation is done on the Azdahaca's exclusive enhancement component, and fragments of the procedure are disguised as part of the regular procedure and implanted into the sensory synchronization circuit, and once the body functions beyond a certain time, or the synchronization rate crosses a certain threshold, the procedure completes the combination on its own. Forcibly implanting the idea that "no matter what the cost, you must destroy your opponent" in Azdahaka's mind, Azdahaka, who was originally unwilling to take his own life, became a dead soldier who shouted "Allah Ahu Bakma", and even if he became mentally retarded and brain-dead, or died with the opponent, he would do his best to destroy the opponent.

For Li Lin, who has studied all kinds of techniques quite deeply, it was an extremely simple assignment.

"Whether it is the time of arrival on the battlefield, the support of weapons and intelligence, and the long communication gap...... When these fortuitous factors come together, you should stop and take a closer look around you. Just because you think too highly of yourself, it is perfect to stimulate the growth of that child. By the way, I took advantage of your revenge a little, and put the annihilation of the Golden Fleece Knights in the most ideal way, and the most critical part was completed just right, preparing the best preparation for the next adjustment and elimination. ”

Li Lin had expected that Azdahaka would make some changes, but in his opinion, Azdahaka was just a "tool" that was relatively easy to use. A lot of powerful work that does not see the light needs to be solved in ancient times when he has the strength and mental state that is not very normal. If something goes wrong, just scrap him and replace him with another "tool". Of course, the premise is the judgment of timing.

This was the perfect time to drain Azdahaka of all the value he had left, and then abandon him like a rag.

"'I know too much,' 'I won't die if I don't die,' 'I'm no longer useful,' 'It's the commander's duty to execute an officer,' there are so many reasons for this, but I don't have time to waste on a guy who can't think of anything. As a reward for your contributions to the project, your execution will be carried out by Roland. ”

Squeezed out a fluttering "farewell" from his throat, the boy assimilated into nothingness and disappeared in front of his eyes.

Thinking back to the original trajectory of time, the still gears re-meshing and turning. Before there was time to discern and question, the light engulfed Azdahaka.

The sound of a qiē disappeared, as if to purify a qiē white light pierced the demon dragon from its head, and then rolled up a vortex of light. Shattering the qiē phenomenon and saving zài, it rushed straight into the sky, the armor and scales covering the whole body turned into the color of molten iron, and the flesh and metal erupted into raging flames. No sound could be squeezed out of his wide open mouth, and the sound of his body burning and evaporating under the high heat became the last sound he realized. In the pale and dazzling rush of destruction, Azdahaka's form lasted only a moment, and then turned into a dry cloud of dust, carried away by the rush of light.

In the distant sky, the meteor that was belated at Mach 5 grew larger and larger, leaping over Roland's shaky vision in the blink of an eye, and plunged headlong into the dead silence of the pirate, and the black ball of light, which was deeper than midnight, swelled on Alcatraz.

Two days later, Roland regained consciousness, barely opening his heavy eyelids, and what reflected the retina was jet-black hair.

"Yo~"

An ambiguous, improper, and a little familiar smile looks like a bad friend who sticks in at some point and can't get rid of it again. When my eyes moved downward, I saw a fruit knife and a very cute apple rabbit, and I subconsciously wanted to sigh.

"The thought of sighing means that you are healthy, and you can rest assured that you are at ease. However, if you say 'the ceiling you have never seen before', it will feel more atmospheric. ”

“...... Do you have the problem of 'if you talk seriously, you will die'?"

"So what is better to discuss...... Well, starting with your fiancée?"

"You ......"

Roland, who was generalized, let out a long breath, and his bad-hearted adoptive father was still as clear as ever, and his weaknesses were clear.

"Well~ is receiving psychological crisis counseling with the rescued hostages, what she has seen on the island is a bit scratching, but after all, she will have access to the company's secrets sooner or later in the future, so she will deal with the past with appropriate disguised information, do you want to read the script written by Stasi? It's much better than those scum of the Propaganda Department with combat effectiveness 5. ”

"No, the Propaganda Department has always been the scum of war, and the national defense propaganda written by the Ministry of Agriculture is better than theirs. ”

complained depressedly in his mouth, but Roland breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Minerva had access to quite a few "trade secrets", and any one of them leaked to the outside world was enough to cause a political earthquake. In line with the principle of "putting human life aside, and secretly putting it in the middle", it is really hard to say how Li Lin will deal with Minerva, and things like "accidents" and "accidents" are entirely possible. Now that the greatest suspense and the message that Minerva had escaped safely had been confirmed, the big stone in his heart had finally been put down.

"The general direction of the matter has been dealt with, and there are still some paperwork such as reports and inspections that you still need to deal with, and then it will be over. Then again—"

After a deliberate pause, Li Lin maintained an elegant smile and observed Roland nonchalantly.

"How does it feel to be connected to the Sword of the Brave? what's new...... Or is it a nostalgic experience?"

"You...... Isn't it?"

"Huh?"

Looking at the smiling face that pretended to be unaware, Roland flinched. He had long thought of the reason why he deliberately packaged the unicorn and Dirandal to launch it together - despite the fact that Azdahaka had to deal with it by extraordinary means, the successful connection between himself and Dirandal was actually the main goal.

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, only by showing a solid result can it be meaningful.

Really...... His usual style.

But.

Is that really the end of the matter?

Seeing his adoptive father's unfathomable expression, Roland felt that this was not the case. (To be continued......)

PS: Alcatraz Island is finally over, a certain ghost animal adoptive father appears again, and a relatively relaxed and happy plot will be ushered in next, please look forward to it!
