Chapter 1179 What Lucia Left Behind

However, Caroline's guess about Su Wen was partly correct.

At this moment, no one knows better than him:
It's time to reveal the foreshadowing of this game surrounding deep Tokyo.

This includes experiencing the story with Natsume Chie, attempting to enter deep Tokyo, searching for clues about the enemy, and conversing with Allista.

Everything was according to his plan.

That's why, after hearing old Seren's story, he adjusted his plans and had Caroline launch a global ten-second live stream:
That brief exposure was not in vain; rather, it laid the groundwork for his ultimate move in public opinion, firmly linking him to the "Deep Tokyo Crisis" in the world's view.

"and so,
Mr. Seren.

Let me finish this story.

"You can kill the swarm across different ranks?"

The old man paused, his tone becoming more nostalgic and solemn.

“This is the subject that my old friend Sephiroth devoted his entire life to studying. He devoted all his efforts to figuring out how to seal these ‘proliferators’, but he never dared to hope to completely eradicate them.”

"that's why,
You will never be able to decipher the code left behind by 'her'.

Su Wen slowly shook his head.

But my thoughts drifted uncontrollably back to the moment I first met Lucia Ferdinand:
That was the last glow of the Silver Star Ring Witch Society, projected onto the history of the former Russian Federation, and also the judgment of the Eternal Dawn upon the Savior Witch.

This is after the second macro-chronology,

Sleep within the shattered star ring.

She is the girl who, after the historical timeline shifted, looked up at the mechanical glow of the Silver Star Ring alongside him and Angelia.

She is the crowned empress.

It is also the original "Children of the Swarm" buried by time.

These secrets, spanning two eras and powerful enough to shake the very foundations of the galaxy, were something he could not confide in anyone other than Angelia.

After all, memes involving the seventh rank and above are a double-edged sword:

It records the truth of this world, yet it also erodes the consciousness of life and becomes a virus that pollutes civilization.

The slightest mistake could trigger a disastrous chain reaction.

This is precisely the terrifying aspect of the existence of deities at the seventh, eighth, and ninth tiers (mythical frequency band, ethereal radiance, and ?).
They have long since vanished in the long river of civilization's evolution, yet they have etched their memes into the essence of the universe.

It becomes a monument flowing deep within the consciousness of all life.

They may never have truly descended to the mortal world, yet they are omnipresent, like ripples in the cosmic background, influencing the course of every civilization.

Therefore,
After a moment of silence,
Su Wen gave only an ambiguous answer, his eyes concealing a profound depth that no one could understand:
"I can't completely eradicate it either, but I know who can."

Therefore, I need time.
I'll decipher the code she left behind.

Old Seren stared into his eyes, eyes that were unfathomable, as if they held the stars and secrets of the entire universe.

a long time,

The old man's doubts vanished, replaced by a relieved smile.

He nodded slightly, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the door—Natsume Chie was standing guard at the end of the corridor, her eyes filled with worry and determination.

"Chie,"

It seems you've found a good teacher.

Old Seren's voice carried the gentleness characteristic of a grandfather.
"Grandfather, I'm relieved."

He changed the subject, looking at Su Wen with a hint of teasing and understanding in his tone:
"Then what else do you need this old man to do?"
"You can't expect me to just stand here and watch the show, can you?"

"You can take back your extraordinary abilities now."

Su Wen smiled calmly.

"Chie has been through so much and has already endured too much pressure. After returning to Tokyo, she needs your company and guidance."

I brought her here, and I made a promise.

Therefore,
I will keep my promise.

In the name of the Rhine. Then, Su Wen paused briefly,

"Of course, the Tokyo that the world sees at this moment should be called 'Deep Tokyo'."

Those who weave the nets should wake up.

"Old sir, go and wake it up."

"how about you?"

The old man was taken aback. He stroked his beard. As a data entity, he couldn't be preserved for very long, so Seren used himself as a last resort.

But before he could finish speaking,
A faint, deep blue light suddenly shone beside Su Wen.

The light quickly condensed and expanded.
It transformed into a long sword with a smooth, lustrous surface.

The blade shimmered with a deep, starry light and the roar of a storm, with faint, fragmented runes moving across its surface—the power of mythology.

Su Wen stroked the sword.

But there was no wavering:
"In order to buy time to decipher the password."

I think it's necessary to add another seal to it.

Old Seren looked at the longsword, his pupils contracting slightly.

He could clearly sense that the energy level contained in the sword had long surpassed the understanding of ordinary extraordinary beings; it was a power that touched the mythological frequency.

This was the first time he had shown 'fear' or even 'incomprehension' since meeting Su Wen.

But even so,
Seren said no more.

He simply and slowly pulled a book from the bookshelf beside him:

"My Wife's Mirror"

That was also the book he was reading when he visited Tokyo in the 1920s and met Natsume Chie's grandmother.

He wanted to understand this country, including the history of this planet.

But unexpectedly,

And so, I too became a page in history.

Clang clang clang clang
With the sound of mechanical wheels pulling out the book, a hidden door slowly cracked open in the originally smooth wall.

Thick darkness surged behind the door, mixed with the low hiss of the insect swarm and the hissing sound of the sealing energy colliding.

Su Wen only vaguely guessed that their location was actually above the mother hive that sealed the heart of the swarm.

However, when he first entered this place, he had already scanned the area with his vision, but he did not see the cableway.

Is this the ultimate achievement from the research of Sephiroth?

But old Saifi didn't say much.
He simply raised his hand slowly and pressed it against the ancient runes on the wall, causing faint lights to slowly illuminate the path below, allowing everyone to see it clearly.

Su Wen turned around and said:

"Caroline, you and Chie don't need to come down. You protect her first."

"No."

The hacker girl blinked, then placed a leaf-shaped camera device on his shoulder:

"But don't even think about keeping such a groundbreaking discovery to yourself."

It will see everything below for me.

Then, with a wave of her right hand, she directly erected a barrier for herself and Natsume Chie.

Seeing that they were clearly acting defensively towards him, Fayit shrugged as if he didn't care.

"It's unnecessary."

Caroline gave her a cold smile:
"I don't trust you at all."

the other side,
According to Fausta, Suwen, and old Seren descended the steps.
