Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 418 The Fallen Diva
The war that the funeral home staff had imagined did not occur.

When Zhao Yingkong took over the organization, it had not yet publicly and clearly expressed its views.

Many people in GHQ only know that there is such a group of criminals, but what is so strange about criminals appearing in Roppongi?

It's just scabies.

Before such a group of people entered Tianwangzhou No. 1 High School, GHQ had to be careful about the impact and dared not act rashly.

As for those behind the scenes...

Those people certainly knew the importance of the Void Genome, but they also knew that the human who obtained the Void Genome was not only exceptionally powerful, but also had powerful backers!
Before the outcome is decided in their respective backstage areas, acting rashly may expose flaws in the plan.

Dart and his men simply stared intently at Zhao Yingkong, who had obtained the power of the king, and did not move an inch until this woman took the initiative to attack.

However, no one paid any attention to the newcomer, Yamanaka Kazuyuki, who was just an ordinary person.

He seized the opportunity to assassinate a group of GHQ executives.

Especially those GHQ executives who liked to run rampant in the Roppongi area often died silently under the Gauss pistol of this newcomer.

This allowed him to develop considerable influence within the funeral home's original territory.

This can actually be considered a form of cover-up...

Most people who were unaware of GHQ mistook the group led by Yamanaka Tsutomu for the former Funeral Parlor.

Compared to the war, the music that was about to spread throughout the world was progressing very smoothly.

Neither of the two heads of the funeral home were competent leaders.

Just as Gai Tsutsugami's ultimate goal was to liberate Mana Ouma, Zhao Yingkong's core goal was to help Inori Yuzuriha achieve self-realization.

The goals and tasks that these two set for the funeral home were actually all for their own selfish purposes.

The only difference is that Zhao Yingkong still considers these temporary subordinates when pursuing her own selfish desires.

Yuzuriha Inori composes songs very quickly.

The love from her fan club made her very happy, and this happiness later became a song.

When you encounter your favorite food while shopping, this joy can even become a song.

The guilt of unintentionally hurting others can also be expressed in a song.

…………

The emotions that could not be expressed in words were all transformed into part of the album through her talent and Zhao Yingkong's help.

then.

With the help of several skilled hackers, the next album from this online singer has already generated immense anticipation.

Yuzuriha Inori herself was even a little nervous amidst this wave of anticipation.

"Will the battle enter the next phase... when the album is released?"

Zhao Yingkong activated the third-stage gene lock, causing part of her brain to enter a sleep state, allowing a portion of her will to communicate with teammates outside the world in her dreams.

She learned a troubling thing from Xu Feng.

A great battle is imminent.

"I don't quite understand. Yuzuriha Inori is a clone of Ouma Mana. From the perspective of the plot, she is indeed very important, but theoretically speaking, why would something that can be manufactured be so important?"

Zhao Yingkong only wanted this clone to obtain her 'heart' so that it could live happily in this world.

Based on the information she has gathered so far, this character is more important than she imagined.

It was just the release of a new album, but this small thing turned into a major conflict.

Once Yuzuriha Inori develops self-awareness, Dart and his gang might face some trouble, but is it really that difficult to recreate a container?

There are a lot of Rei Ayanami in EVA...

In his dream, Hsu Feng responded: "Many plot points in Guilty Crown pay homage to EVA, but we absolutely cannot use the EVA worldview to deeply analyze the plot of this world."

"EVA is the choice we have now, and as for this cycle of reincarnation... it is the past history recorded within the cycle of reincarnation!"

"Inori Yuzuriha's original identity was a clone of Mana Ouma, but her final achievements were not like that."

Zhao Yingkong quickly searched for information in the supercomputer within the inherent barrier.

Although Xu Feng only gave her a direction, with the help of mythological materials, she had already analyzed the answer along that direction.

"So... does Yuzuriha Inori represent Satan?"

Both of these anime series are based on the Book of Genesis in the Bible.

Adam, Eve, and the fruit of knowledge...

In the Bible, the act of humans eating the fruit of knowledge represents the Fall!

“Ignorant, without good or evil in their hearts, fearless, and acting entirely on instinct is the most perfect human being in God’s eyes. In other words, this is the kind of human being that the ‘Apocalypse Virus’ wants to change.”

Adam and Eve are the ancestors of humankind in mythology.

But they only gave rise to humankind after their fall.

The purpose of the Apocalypse Virus's evolution is not to select two individuals to breed two stronger races, but rather... to return to one's true nature.

When Zhao Yingkong looked at Yuzuriha Inori again, her gaze was much more complicated.

The earliest songstresses were essentially in that state.

But after leaving the laboratory and coming into contact with humans, she changed; intellect appeared in her soul, and she began to fall.

I feel ashamed to appear naked in front of others, I feel fear when faced with terrifying scenery, and I feel joy when I see things I love...

The question is... does this count as moral decay?
Are intelligent people a sin?

In any case, in God's eyes, such people are no longer worthy to remain in the Garden of Eden.

This kind of judgment is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people's logic.

Zhao Yingkong also couldn't understand it.

"Human suffering caused by intellect leads to the emergence of the Apocalypse Virus... God judges humanity in this way, allowing them to return to Eden after atonement, but that actually means abandoning intellect and returning to the state of Adam and Eve before they ate the fruit of knowledge."

"And the beauty that comes from intellect makes people linger in the world, and that beauty is naturally 'temptation' in the eyes of God."

While a carefree life in Eden is wonderful, it's equally hard to give up the life of a two-dimensional girl who perfectly matches your imagination and takes meticulous care of you.

The songs in Guilty Crown are of much higher quality than the story itself.

The anime begins with Inori Yuzuriha singing.

Zhao Yingkong now realizes that it was not the beginning, but the end of the story... Yuzuriha Inori lured humans with her song in 'Hell', making them 'fall' into believing that the 'dirty and filthy' world of reality was still worth cherishing.

Her act of allowing Yuzuriha Inori to gain a sense of self was to unconsciously lead this songstress toward the role of 'Satan'.

The Apocalypse Virus does not want a true 'Satan' to appear... In the original storyline, Yuzuriha Inori's changes were still within the rules, but in the storyline influenced by the Reincarnators, Yuzuriha Inori's changes will exceed the gods' expectations.

Therefore, as soon as the signs appeared, He couldn't help but interrupt them.

Zhao Yingkong sneered: "This god... is too arrogant!"

"It could also be due to the different heights at which they are standing."

Zhao Yingkong will not stop because releasing an album will trigger a decisive battle.

The arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

Moreover, if the enemy launches a major offensive because of your actions, it's either because your actions have created a significant vulnerability in your own side, or because your actions have touched upon a significant vulnerability in the enemy's side.

Soon. This moment arrived.

Yuzuriha Inori, who is loved by many, looked forward to this and made many careful preparations.

But right from the moment it went on sale.

A beam of light rose straight up into the sky from the island.

Purple dust radiated from the island in a whirlwind, expanding hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye, and it continued to expand.

The crystal pillar rose from the core of the whirlwind.

Humans in the dust, regardless of age or gender, instantly turn into crystal, and then crumble into new dust.

The moment the pillar of light rose, Yuzuriha screamed and fell into a coma.

The Apocalypse Virus-simulated personality of Mana Ouma, under the influence of the virus sweeping the world, fights fiercely against the girl for control of her body.

The songstress, whose spirit had just fallen into the corrupt world, was far less capable than the Apocalypse Virus.

The difference is almost like that between an ordinary person and a fourth-tier expert.

But the songs that captured the singer's various emotions during this period played softly in the player.

Many students at the top high school in Tianwangzhou were so engrossed in the singing that they didn't even notice the dramatic changes in the world caused by the Apocalypse Virus.

It's not just them.

The same is true for many people watching the live stream.

The attention from these people allowed Yuzuriha Inori's fragile consciousness to persevere under the crushing weight of the Apocalypse Virus.

"The Apocalypse?"

Although Zhao Yingkong didn't quite understand how Dart and his group managed to initiate the apocalypse at exactly this moment, she wasn't surprised.

It's perfectly normal to use a special move as the ultimate attack.

She drew her longsword from her heart once more, and with the movement of the sword, flew towards the core of the whirlwind.

"The void abilities in this world are extremely complex... but the only thing that can stop this apocalypse's void abilities is this longsword from outside the world..."

"Annihilate!"

The consciousness within the core of the Apocalypse Virus resonated within the virus that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and she sensed a deadly crisis from this attack.

This attack has a very high depth.

Every bit of force penetrated deep into the virus, landing entirely on the physical entity of the Apocalypse Virus's material world, without leaking out even a trace of its power.

A discordant element appeared in the storm that swept across the land.

Crystals are gradually disappearing, and in a completely real sense!

Mana Ouma's will seems to be fragmented... Her thinking was affected after part of her core carriers were destroyed.

Zhao Yingkong also used her ultimate killing move.

Under such an attack, the Apocalypse Virus will truly disappear.

The Fourth Apocalypse will be interrupted by the disappearance of the Apocalypse Virus.

"Overestimating oneself..."

The will simulated by the Apocalypse Virus is locked onto the woman in front of him.

Just then, Zhao Yingkong suddenly had a bad feeling, and she quickly shifted her body slightly.

A phantom appeared behind her.

The phantom was clearly herself, holding a long sword, about to stab her heart.

This attack was unavoidable.

Fortunately, with Xu Feng's strong support, she had a lot of defensive items on her, and a faint golden light blocked the attack.

"simulation?"

Zhao Yingkong fell into deep thought.

The phantom that attacked her was entirely constructed from the Apocalypse Virus, and strangely enough, it possessed all of her abilities!
It's incredible.

How can it even copy the light of the soul?
"Truly worthy of being a perfect evolved form. Even with the same physical attributes, your combat power is far inferior to mine..."

A flicker of interest appeared in Mana Ouma's eyes.

Although there's a gender issue, this person's genes are just too perfect, even more attractive than that stupid younger brother, so making her Adam doesn't seem unacceptable.

"However, you can win one-on-one, but what if it's ten against one, or a hundred against one?"

Mana Ouma wore an innocent smile.

More phantoms of Zhao Yingkong appeared in her field of vision. They appeared out of thin air, like objects materialized from fantasy, yet their destructive power was no less than that of Zhao Yingkong herself.

A series of sword lights flashed by.

This left Zhao Yingkong in a very awkward situation.

She had to use various movement techniques to try and use the phantoms and Ouma Mana as a shield.

soon.

She realized something was wrong.

"They only use this one move... There are no variables. The reason their attacks are so troublesome is that the relative positions of these phantoms and me are exactly the same as the relative positions of me and the attacker, Mana Ouma!"

"Could this be..."

"You guessed it so quickly? So this is you. But this is you from a few seconds ago."

Mana Sakura's voice appeared in Zhao Yingkong's mind: "The Garden of Eden records all information. There, a moment's image can exist eternally, and all history can be compressed into a moment. It is a world where there is absolutely no suffering."

"And the moment you attacked me was also recorded in the Garden of Eden, so I can reenact that moment next to you."

This demonstration turned into the past Zhao Yingkong attacking the present Zhao Yingkong.

"All information..."

Zhao Yingkong realized she was in trouble.

This 'everything' seems to encompass everyone and every attack within this world; the attacks she makes will instantly become attacks against her!

The most troublesome thing is that the more times she takes action, the more information the so-called 'Garden of Eden' records.

The more complex the intercepted 'space-time projection' is, the more complex its strength and techniques become!
"Did the captain guess this the moment he entered this world? Is that why he didn't want to enter easily?"

If Xu Feng were to make a move in this world, and 'Eden' recorded the moment he made the move, he himself wouldn't actually face any major problems.

But what about the rest of the Donghai team who would survive a similar attack?

In any case, Zhao Yingkong had no confidence at all.

"No, the so-called 'Garden of Eden' can't possibly record all the moves! Otherwise, wouldn't reincarnators be doomed if they entered this world? Moreover, this thing is only limited to a certain reincarnation world, while we reincarnators can move in all the heavens. The captain can even travel between different worlds on his own initiative."

Zhao Yingkong thought to herself, "The so-called 'Garden of Eden' must have its limits. If the captain unleashes his full power, this Garden of Eden will most likely be impossible to record!"

"However, it's not time to remove the captain from the field until I've exhausted all my options!"

"Only when that bad seed is off the field can I get the most help."
