Chapter 851 My Mission
Memory is a very unreliable, yet wonderful thing.

The human brain can store far more data than any current computer, but it is easily disturbed, causing memory confusion and even the loss of some memory.

The amazing thing is that lost memories can be recovered.

"I remembered."

Shannah stood up, still a little shaky. Just as Alyssa was about to help her, Shannah staggered, stood up again, and walked step by step towards the innermost part of the room.

"Sannah? What are you going to do?"

There was actually nothing at the innermost part of the room, just a wall.

Shanna paused after hearing this, but continued to move forward:

"I'm going to carry out my mission."

Everyone is confused. Please stop being a riddle teller and explain it clearly.

At this time, the golem named Benben became anxious and rushed towards Shanna directly past Alyssa, but Shanna shouted without turning her head:
"Stupid, stop! I order you to stop!"

Benben, who tried to get close to Shanna, was like being frozen in place, keeping his legs apart and not moving.

Alchemical creatures such as golems and puppets are unable to disobey the orders of their masters. Obeying orders is the meaning of their existence. Failure to carry out orders is essentially denying their own existence.

So Benben stopped immediately and couldn't move even a finger.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Alyssa immediately heard something wrong in Shanna's tone.

"Sanna, come back soon!"

The three of them hurried forward and tried to pull back Shanna, but Shanna just snapped her fingers, and a huge glass cover rose from under the floor, much like a glass greenhouse, isolating the few people from Shanna.

Sophia knocked on the alloy frame. She had no idea what it was made of. She couldn't knock it apart with her brute force.

"Sanna, what are you doing? Come back soon! Father Pro is waiting for us to go home!"

“Sister Alyssa…”

Shanna's voice came from all over the room. There must be hidden speakers in the corners of the room.

She still had her back to the crowd and whispered:
"I can not go back."

"Please tell me clearly what's going on!"

"I am a star child, created from the beginning as a living battery."

This statement made people even more confused.

At this time, Shanna had walked to the end of the room. The wall there flipped over, revealing a metal throne. Shanna sat on it, lowered her head and said:

"Do you know? The border of the elves' territory back then was near here. They knew nothing about the more distant starry sky, so they started a plan to use floating cities to explore the void. Shattered Sky Star was the forward base of the floating city and also the elves' border outpost."

she says:

"But the elves soon discovered that in the depths of the void, there was a terrifying darkness that could not be described in words and had existed for an unknown period of time. The elves could not even find out what it was. They could only be sure that this entity of darkness was approaching."

She raised her head, tears overflowed from her eyes and slid down her cheeks:

“Thus was born I, we, the Star Children.”

"What's going on with the living battery? Shana, come out immediately. We can work together to find a solution if there is any trouble!"

Sanafia shook her head.
"It's too late."

She looked at the five empty glass jars.

"The elves left behind five special embryos. Whenever the darkness approaches, one embryo will hatch under the high concentration of magic power. This is the Son of the Star. The only mission of the Son of the Star is to activate the purification device in this relic and repel the approaching darkness." "Wait! You mean, once the purification device is activated, you will..."

"Yes, the price of the purification device is the life of an elf. But the elves believe that the lives of their own kind are irreplaceable treasures in the world, so they created us to replace the precious elves."

Isn’t this a living sacrifice?
I didn’t expect that even though there were starships flying all over the sky, Alyssa could still see human sacrifices. This is too backward.

Did the ancient elves really not have a better way to solve the problem back then?
Not necessarily.

In the era of the ancient elves, the level of civilization and technology was incredibly high. There was no problem that the ancient elves could not solve. It was simply a mismatch between input and output.

Since the problem can be solved with a simple method, there is no need to study more complicated methods.

It's that simple.

As for the inhumanity of living sacrifice?
Each Star Child is a blank slate after hatching, with no consciousness. They are essentially just "living golems" that have been infused with commands and some memories. Since they cannot be considered human, there is naturally nothing inhumane about them.

"My four companions all completed their missions, but when it was my turn, something unexpected happened. A group of people entered the ruins and changed the system settings, causing me to fail to hatch successfully when the darkness approached, which in turn caused the Shattered Sky Star to break into two halves. It was not until three years ago that I started the hatching process when there was a sign that the darkness was approaching again."

Shanna said, looking at Benben.

"Stupid, you were the one who put me into the escape pod when I was just hatched."

Benben still couldn't move, but its spherical head moved slightly downward, as if nodding, and its metallic face actually revealed an emotion of reluctance.

Golems are supposed to be unconscious, acting purely according to programs and executing the orders of their masters.

But Benben's actions were obviously not programmed.

What happened next was just as Father Pro said. He picked up the drifting Shanna in the void, and lived in Blackhand Harbor ever since, until everything came true as fate would have it.

Shanna's hatching itself was due to the darkness approaching again.

None of this is avoidable.

Father Pro asked Alyssa to bring Shanna here to find out what the Star Child is. He certainly didn't expect that Shanna's mission would be to burn herself.

It's fate, it's so fucked up.

Shanna paused, as if she was choking up and trying to adjust her emotions.

The wall next to the throne flipped up, revealing a small platform with a golden olive branch crown on it.

When Shanna saw it, she instinctively reached out to take it. Her consciousness resisted a little, but she still grabbed the olive branch crown in her hand.

The crown is very beautiful. The elves' extreme aesthetic taste makes them ensure beauty before practicality.

But Shanna held the crown and opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Alyssa:
"I am Star Child, a clone of the daughter of the magic lord Ymir, and I will carry out my mission!"

Everyone felt a slight vibration beneath their feet. The ruins seemed to respond to Sana's determination, as if some huge machine was already on standby below.

Sana put the crown on her head, and the olive branch crown automatically tightened, like Monkey King's golden hoop. Putting it on meant losing everything she had before.

The moment Sanafia put on the crown, her dark red long hair turned platinum, and her skin also changed from fair to honey-like light gold.

This is the appearance of the ancient elves.

A beam of light shone down from above the throne, so bright that it made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes.

"Sister Alyssa, I'm sorry I can't go back with you. I really like life in Blackhand Harbor. I once dreamed of going out on adventures one day, but my mission doesn't allow me to indulge myself. Please tell Grandpa that I'm very happy to be his granddaughter."

The light became brighter and brighter, and soon Sana's figure seemed to melt into the strong light...
