and also.
Raven would occasionally mutter something like, "Hey... can't you just comfort me?"
For some reason, it makes one wonder if she was influenced by Alicia in some way...
It makes people laugh and cry.
……
The result of their battle was, naturally, Mei's victory.
The raven also seemed to accept its defeat wholeheartedly.
However, just as Mei relaxed, a short staff suddenly appeared in Raven's palm.
This is an item known as the "Staff of the Underworld".
On Coral Island, Raven used this Staff of the Underworld to severely injure Mei.
"I'm so sorry... my dear Mei," Raven apologized inwardly.
Immediately afterwards, with a "snap," a flash of white light appeared.
The Staff of the Underworld has fallen into Mei's hands.
Meanwhile, Raven was pinned down by Mei's hand.
"Sorry, but the successor of the Hokushin Itto-ryu style won't be defeated twice by the same move."
Raven: “…”
She sighed softly, then calmly smiled and said, "Alright, even this succumbs to you."
"I thought that the moment I gave up, someone would definitely let their guard down~"
Mei: "You clearly reminded me—"
"From the moment you left World Serpent, every member of the organization became your nominal enemy."
"For Miss Natasha, who is a mercenary, this is even more true... Isn't that right?"
"Ha...you're something else," the raven said, spreading its hands and raising its arms to indicate its complete surrender.
"Alright, alright, I really have no cards left to play this time."
"I was still hoping for the best, thinking I could just take you to [New Atlantis] like this."
When a new place name was mentioned, Mei became curious.
The raven didn't hide anything and directly told Mei what kind of place [New Atlantis] was.
Simply put, it's the place where people live during the operation of Project Stigmata.
While Raven was explaining, Mei suddenly felt dizzy.
A series of somewhat inaudible words began to echo in her mind.
Raven: "Mei? What's wrong?"
Mei couldn't even hear Raven's somewhat worried words.
"Oh no..." Mei covered her head, murmured, and then fainted.
Raven: “…”
Even she was a little confused about the situation.
However, a gentle voice soon came over, which made her roughly understand the current situation.
Raven: "It's alright. In the end, you and she are even, so isn't that good?"
……
From Mei's perspective.
She only felt a warm hand wrapping around her shoulders.
The soft touch of those arms vaguely reminded her of some warm and cozy moments at St. Freya.
? ? ?: "Sorry, lost child."
"In this forced dream, you will drift to a distant shore and meet a familiar yet strange version of yourself."
"But you don't need to be afraid. There, you will reunite with the person you cherish most, and together you will work to create that new tomorrow that once only existed in your imagination..."
……
The story ends here briefly.
The audience was also completely bewildered by this sudden change.
Who was that gentle female voice that appeared last?
Why does Kaiwen, who has already let Mei leave, turn around and bring her to that so-called "New Atlantis"?
However, since there was still more than half of the story in this update, Mei didn't stop and immediately started the next part of the story.
This time, however, the focus is on Kevin.
He recounted memories from 5 years ago from the perspective of an audience member.
Chapter 450 Alicia herself is a miracle!
Kevin remembers.
Mei once said—
Every faint ray of starlight in the dark night is born from the fusion reaction in the core of a star, and first undergoes millions of years of random wandering to escape to the surface of the planet.
[Afterwards, it must traverse a lonely and cold journey of millions of years through the universe before it finally comes into our view at this moment.]
she says.
In my younger days, I thought every star in the sky was an enemy.
But at the moment when the world was about to fall into the cycle of reincarnation, she suddenly realized...
Every star in the sky is a mark of how civilization will eventually break free from its destiny.
When Mei was little, she asked her father—
Why do we have life? Why does the world even exist?
She felt it was amazing.
Who can answer this kind of question...?
A normal person would probably call someone crazy if they heard such a question.
Therefore, Mei's father simply told him not to bring up this issue with strangers.
"Why? Do they know the answers to these questions?"
Mei's father shook his head: "I don't think they know either, but that's precisely why they don't like to hear these kinds of questions."
"Because they lack the courage to face life head-on."
……
The comments section was filled with mixed feelings of amusement and disbelief upon seeing this 823 scene.
Mei truly lives up to her reputation as a genius from a previous civilization; she can ask such a question at such a young age.
However, this also left some viewers wondering what the purpose of setting up the story at the beginning was.
Following that, the rest of the story consists of dialogues that are somewhat puzzling yet philosophical.
It seems... they want players to accept the [Stigmata Project]?
Or perhaps, it's guiding players to view the [Stigmata Project] from Mei's perspective.
In short, this part of the plot is rather boring.
But players still found it very entertaining.
Regardless of the plot, anything related to 5 years ago will attract players' attention.
and……
There will be another chance to see Alicia again.
really.
Soon Alicia appeared.
It begins with Alicia's signature speaking tone.
Sweet and mischievous.
"How was it? The test results were correct, weren't they?"
"Just as I said, Alicia is a genuine Herrscher."
The live chat exploded instantly.
【Ah ah ah! ! 】
