Chapter 21 Chapter 21

The army of monsters was instantly engulfed in flames.The monsters all over the mountains and plains were bounced and crushed like gravel, and while they were burned and fled in all directions, they howled miserably. The hot wind blows towards Miyu in the sea.Yayo covered her face with her wet clothes and looked at the shore in shock. The light flickered several times again, and each time was accompanied by the shaking of the earth and the scorching strong wind, even Mi and they could feel it.When the glare finally faded away, the scene in front of him made Miyu doubt his own eyes. The burning earth is full of melting crimson.The paddy field turned into a gray wasteland, as if the sea water poured into it evaporated in an instant.The corpses of countless monsters were piled up layer by layer, emitting a stench that made people want to vomit.

"Come down!" The soldier's cry made Yayo turn his head, and saw the pontoon slowly descending into the sea. Soon, a small boat came out of that boat and rowed here.Someone was standing at the bow.Mi Yu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, then suddenly covered his mouth.Could it be that the burly figure with a height of ten feet... The boat came to Yayo, and the man at the bow jumped off.Yayo asked with a trembling voice: "...Orwell?" "No, it's not. I'm Omega. 21st Century Time Army, Pathfinder." "no?" Isn't it obvious that the voice and appearance are so similar?No, it does look different.The line of the jaw is harder and the color of the hair is lighter.The man appeared to be slightly younger.

Omega looked around, walked to the King of "Envoy" guarded by soldiers, and looked into his eyes.Between the eyes of the two people, there seemed to be a slender light like a silk thread. "do not touch!" The furious Miyu ran over, and Omega immediately left Wang's body.Omega's murmurs reached Yayo's ears. "Messenger O, it turns out that what is recorded in "Wei Zhi" is the truth...you actually persisted to this extent alone..." Omega stood upright facing the King of "Envoy", and touched his forehead with his left hand.Seeing that miraculous behavior, Yayo felt that there might be some kind of respect in it, so she couldn't help but stop.

Omega came back to his senses and said, "Do you want to specify the funeral form for this one?" "Funeral? Haven't thought about that yet. But I won't give him up to you." "Then I will leave it to you. Please bury him generously." "Who are you?" "Where should I start with this question..." Omega tilted his head slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Are you the person who came to help recorded in the "Envoy?" "Yes, we are here to crusade against ET. To help you crusade against the enemy." "Why now... why don't you come sooner! If you came earlier, sooner, the king wouldn't have to die! There are Takahayaya, and the soldiers of Wa Kingdom!"

Mi was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames.Facing her pressing questions, Omega just shook his head quietly. "I'm sorry, we couldn't come before this time. As for the reason, it's because our time branch has just been generated. It was newly generated in this battle. It was generated because of you." Omega once again raised his left hand Touching his forehead, he said in a respectful and cautious tone, "Are you Queen Himiko?" "right." "At the end of 248, the battle of Jujijin. The 20,000 monsters came to attack, and the Yamatai army was about to collapse. Himi shouted and encouraged, but finally lost the enemy and left. After that, the queen restored the country, and all Japanese species continued for the next day. The foundation of the Japanese nation... this is the official history as we know it."

In Omega's eyes, there was warmth and admiration as if reuniting with a farewell mother.Mi Yu carefully savored what he said for a while, and then said: "So, you are my descendant...A very, very distant descendant?" "It is an intellectual body created by descendants—ah no, yes. I am your descendant. My distant ancestor is you, Himiko. Without you, the battle lines of the entire world will be affected and collapsed. I represent all mankind and all history , I would like to express my deep gratitude to you.” Omega bowed deeply.Yayo lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

When he looked up again, Omega had already returned to the boat. "where are you going?" "I'm going to the East. Defeat ET." "Are you leaving us?" "We are different from the couriers who interfere in everything. The order we accept is to never touch history except to crusade against ET. Because the history on this branch of time is already perfect. In the official history here, ET assists us The next one was successfully repelled. So the mission of our Time Army is nothing more than that, no more and no less. And——” On the boat that turned around, Miyu saw Omega’s smile, “You are a person who hates interference, right? ?”

"Omega!" The small boat skimmed across the sea and returned to the big boat.Not long after, the big ship also rose again, passed over Miyo and their heads, and disappeared into the eastern sky. The bewildered soldiers gathered around Yayo without knowing what happened. "My lord..." "Queen?" "We won." The exhausted Miyo murmured, "Our call has summoned reinforcements. The monsters will not come again. The aid of the "Emissary" has cleared everything for us." Miyu looked around, all with dubious expressions.That's right, Miyo thought.They are bound by a powerful spell they have cast.To break the spell, you need to find a way to calm them down.

That solution is at hand. "Bury the king of the "Envoy". Soldiers, carry the king to the land. Build a large tomb. The bones of the soldiers are also gathered together and buried together. Then... let's cry a lot. Until the tears are dry." King's funeral—the word seemed to hit their hearts hard.The soldiers whispering around the corpse began to walk towards the beach with heavy steps.No cheers of joy, just looks of confusion.This scene will continue for some time. but…… "My Highness." Gan, who was walking beside him, had tears in his eyes.He didn't make a sound when the king died.

Gan said in a voice that only Miyu could hear: "I once had this thought: It would be good if the king of "Envoy" didn't come. Because he took His Highness Miyu away. But, because of this, the king... ..." "It's okay, Gan." "I...I'm so bad." Gan cried out.Facing the cold wind, the sound of his crying spread far away.The soldiers followed - sobbing together. Yayo held his hand, feeling pity for the child in his heart.He used to be jealous of the king of "Envoy".From now on, he will always be by his side.Accompany me to recall every bit of the king of "Envoy", and accompany me to grow old slowly.

"I'm glad you survived." Mi Yu wiped away the haze from his eyes, and looked forward.Can't cry, because Himiko has to build Yamatai again. It is also necessary to guard the king's tomb and inherit the king's legacy. The flagship of the Time Army quietly docked at the Kansai Space Port.In an instant, the shore was full of fireworks. Pathfinder Omega buried his head deeply, reviewing his memory, not even noticing the grand celebration that could be seen from the bridge. Omega's memory is read from the bones of the king of "Envoy". That is, the memory inherited from the legendary original messenger that is only recorded in "Wei Zhi·Waren Biography". Historically, the existence of the Messenger has been considered by academic circles to be nothing more than legend.However, with the in-depth excavation and investigation in the 18th century, people began to re-examine the strange legends that spread from Egypt to the entire African region, and examine its realistic possibility.The legend known as "Sibaizhilu", also known as "Little Insect Story", contains more than 300 stories, and all the stories except the ending part are among ethnic groups that have nothing to do with each other. Passed on orally, or carved in stone.Everything in it can be interpreted as a metaphor for the time war. In the 20th century, scientists discovered traces of antimatter explosions in the Victoria Crater, which was once considered to be a meteorite impact port, which eventually became decisive evidence.Until about 300 AD, some people have been defending the earth against ET attacks, and this speculation has become an accepted fact. The dispatch of the Time Army this time also has the academic significance of investigating the authenticity of the legend.However, Omega believed in the existence of the messenger from the very beginning. Even so, what he found was far beyond his imagination.That's amazing... The battle records read from the bones of Messenger O - from the first encounter with ET in the 26th century to hundreds of battles in the 100,000 years, the more Omega analyzed it, the more it gave birth to endless sighs.Whether it is an academic material or a soldier's feat, this record has immeasurable value.But what Omega laments is not limited to this.With Messenger O's memory, Omega seems to be looking back on its own past. As an intellectual body, Omega was originally created as a container for receiving the memory of the intellectual body.At first, Omega was still resistant to the fact that he was only inheriting their memories, but the memories he accepted were so great that it was enough to offset this slight unhappiness. To be able to understand this person... no, to be able to inherit this person's thoughts is really a supreme honor.In the battle against ET that will inevitably happen next, spanning the past and the future, this memory will definitely play an incomparably huge role. But Omega also had a little surprise.Generally speaking, with great military achievements, there will inevitably be a kind of pride or conceit as a soldier.However, in Messenger O's memory, there is no trace of that kind of thing at all. That is to say, for messenger O, those things don't seem to be important.In his heart, it seems that he only regards it as part of an endless journey. What kind of emotion was that... Omega finally realized that it was a kind of blankness, a feeling that the things that originally occupied that space had disappeared.Gone, gone, gone, nothing left in the space, only endless loneliness, disheartened. Just a small blank space.However, considering the effect of that blankness during the long journey, Omega couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine.such an eternity... "Are you crying?" The captain standing by the window woke up Omega from his contemplation.Omega wiped the corners of his eyes with his fingers, and replied, "No." "We've arrived at the pier. It's a grand welcome ceremony." Omega stood up and walked towards the hatch. When I came to the pier, I realized that what the captain said was an understatement.There was a sea of ​​people on the pier, even the space port apron that was especially open was filled, and everyone kept waving.Maybe half of the population of the capital Osaka is concentrated here. For the first time in the history of the world, the ET disaster that has been infesting all over the world has been eliminated, and it is of course popular.But for simply watching the excitement, there are too many people here. "It's a lot of publicity. Time and defense is really a waste of money." Pathfinder Alpha muttered to himself. Omega smiled and replied: "Don't be so picky. This is not bad." The black-looking, burly Alpha said in surprise: "You have become smoother? You are usually the most picky." "yes." Responding lightly, Omega walked onto the pier. At the end there is a group of girls holding welcome bouquets in their arms.Senior officials of the Ministry of Time Defense and the United Nations are standing around.No matter how enthusiastic it was, it was indeed a bit overdone——Omega was about to frown, but when he saw the girl standing at the front, he suddenly lost his ironic mood. "Thank you, Mr. Pathfinder." Girl hands out bouquet.Her pronunciation is slightly different from Kansai Standard.She has beautiful black hair, tanned skin with special red patterns painted on it, and a jade hook that seems to be genuine is hung on a silver collar. The ancient style of dress presents a futuristic style.Omega remembered that this is a national costume passed down from generation to generation in an ancient land in Japan. "Are you... a girl from the mansion?" "Yeah, you know that? Yes, I was born in Asuka." "May I ask your name?" When Omega said this, the girl's eyes widened, as if a little unexpected.She seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes rolled around for a while, then she blinked slyly and said, "We haven't seen each other before, have we?" "I think so." "My name is Sha Ye." "Sha Ye." Omega was surprised by the violent beating of his chest, and said cautiously, "I want to see you in the future." "Huh? Uh...really?" The girl's cheeks flushed. Omega nodded and took the bouquet.
