This villain is too popular.

Chapter 97 The Last Fireworks - A Happy Reunion!
'Special Protocol Number Three? Doctor, how could you let Caroline install such an inhuman program?'

'Is it anti-human? The Way of Heaven—this is a unique program almost every AI Star Envoy possesses. After all, without such a program, no one would dare trust an AI Star Envoy to stay by their side.'

'But Star Messengers aren't machines; they're human too. I don't think this kind of program is a good thing for Caroline.'

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, the doctor didn't pay too much attention.

After all, the so-called exclusive agreement procedure requires the consent of the android envoy himself.

If they disagree, outsiders simply cannot formulate such a low-level 'protocol program' deep within their minds.

'Heavenly Dao, if you think there's a problem with this program, you can have Caroline deactivate it herself.'

'After all, the agreement stipulates that once the program is running, she can only obey your commands.'

'And these commands naturally included instructing her to delete the program agreement.'

"But I think you should ask Caroline's opinion before you do this. After all, some things can't be decided by your own opinion alone; you also need to respect the person involved's own thoughts."

'And that's the lesson you taught me.'

'Okay, I understand.'

'No, Caroline, you're actually insisting on keeping this brain-dead program that lets you be controlled by others? Have you gone mad from being a machine?!'

Tiandao was completely stunned when he saw Caroline, who still refused to delete the No. 3 exclusive protocol program.

Because he thought he only needed to talk to Caroline.

She would absolutely agree to delete this 'brainless program'.

To his surprise, Caroline refused very firmly.

She also stated that this was an exclusive agreement between her and Tiandao.

She wouldn't allow anyone to touch it, not even the Heavenly Dao.

Heaven remained silent in the face of this.

He couldn't understand how stupid someone would be to deliberately leave a fatal weakness for others.

Caroline clearly guessed what Tiandao was thinking.

He immediately retorted, "Heavenly Dao, will you harm me in the future?"

Without hesitation, Heaven replied: 'Why would I harm you?'

That would be great.

'? ? ? '

Looking at the bewildered Tiandao, Caroline smiled and said, "Tiandao, perhaps in your eyes, that so-called Number Three Exclusive Protocol Program is an invisible shackle binding me."

'But in my view, it's not a shackle at all, but rather an invisible constraint.'

Because I can't guarantee I'll always understand your thoughts, but I hope I can always cooperate with you to do the right thing.

'And that is the significance of the existence of the Third Exclusive Agreement.'

It can guarantee that I will always stand by your side and that I will never do anything that could hurt you.

For me, these two points are enough.

Besides, if you don't use it, what difference does it make whether you delete the program or not?

'...'

Looking at the bewildered Caroline, Tiandao sighed, then pointed at her and said, "Just you wait, Caroline, you'll regret this sooner or later."

Having said that, Heaven left in a huff.

Looking at Tiandao's retreating figure, Caroline was not angry at all; instead, she laughed even more happily.

'Do I regret it? As for the will of Heaven, I believe I absolutely will not regret it.'

Besides, even if I regret it, it's not because you did anything wrong, but simply because I can't understand your thoughts at the moment.

'Because I believe you wouldn't hurt me.'

Caroline once thought she would never regret her choice.

And will absolutely not question any decision made by Heaven in the future.

But now she has to admit that she regrets it.

At the same time, seeing the holographic projection activate the 'Number Three Exclusive Protocol Program' in his mind.

Caroline immediately understood something.

That means that Heaven not only foresaw this future long ago.

He also made ample preparations to ensure that this future would arrive as scheduled.

This includes the activation of the No. 3 exclusive protocol once without her knowledge.

It also pre-sets a condition that even a holographic projection can activate this protocol once.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to activate this third exclusive protocol so easily with just a holographic projection.

Looking at Caroline, who had switched to her android personality due to the [Exclusive Protocol No. 3].

'Tiandao' said apologetically, 'I'm sorry, Caroline.'

"I clearly said I wouldn't use this program, but I broke my promise in the end."

"Because if I don't use it, I can't guarantee that relying solely on my holographic projection, I can make you understand and accept my next arrangements."

At this point, 'Heavenly Dao' took a deep breath, and then, with an extremely serious expression, gave Caroline a definite guarantee.

"Don't worry, Caroline, I will never do anything I'm not sure of, nor will I do anything that will hurt you."

"Although I don't know the exact state of my physical body right now, I believe there is still room for things to turn around."

"Because besides seeing that 'perfect' future, I also saw a faint but bright light."

"A light called 'Miracle'."

"I always prepare for the worst, so please forgive my stubbornness until I'm sure I've grasped that 'light'."

After saying that, 'Heaven's Way' gave Caroline a clear instruction.

This instruction was completely unexpected for Caroline.

This also surprised all viewers in the anime and manga world.

Because of the purpose of Heaven's Activation of the Caroline III Exclusive Protocol.

It turns out that his memories were temporarily sealed away.

Furthermore, the method by which Heaven seals it is quite unique.

Because what he did was not to make those memories 'disappear'.

Instead, they first sealed away the original memories, and then used the plot of 'Dust Star' and 'Cloud Dream' in the original work to fill the 'gaps' in Caroline's current memories.

Caroline's main personality did not want this situation to occur.

However, bound by the Third Exclusive Agreement, she could only watch helplessly as those days and nights fighting side by side with Tiandao, those moments of smiling at each other, were all blown away by the wind like sand paintings, and filled in with unfamiliar scenes, scenes that did not include Tiandao in the original work.

What's even more outrageous is that Heaven actually felt that this wasn't enough.

He directly commanded her android personality to pick up her phone.

I began processing those photos related to the Way of Heaven, one by one.

She tried her best to erase the traces of the will of Heaven in her life.

Unfortunately, she had absolutely no way to stop it this time.

And after seeing her do all that.

Although Tiandao knew that even if he told her, Caroline wouldn't remember it for the time being.

But he still changed his original guilty expression.

His face regained its former arrogance and the self-confidence that made him the only one worthy of respect in the world.

He also said something that perfectly matched his personality and persona.

“Caroline, trust me, as long as I’m sure I’ve grasped that 'glimmer of light'.”

"No matter where you are in the future, and no matter how difficult the process may be, I will definitely find you and apologize to you in person."

"And this is my promise to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caroline followed the instructions given by the Heavenly Dao.

With a blank expression, he headed towards the quantum shuttle room deep underground.

And after Caroline's figure disappeared from the control room.

The holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao unexpectedly spoke again.

Moreover, the camera angle in this episode was strangely turned, pointing directly at 'Tendao's' face.

From this perspective, it seems as if what Heaven is about to say is neither to itself, nor to Caroline, nor to anyone else in the anime.

Rather, they are like the viewers outside the screen, from different dimensions.

This made the anime/manga audience seem to understand something.

“Caroline, miracles are rare, but I believe I can seize them.”

"For no other reason than the four words 'Heavenly Dao and Fate'."

"And before that miracle happens, let me offer this last firework to those ill-intentioned fellows."

"Want to steal the secrets of the stars? Let's see if you have the ability. After all, it's not so easy to take back a hand that's been extended."

After saying that, the holographic projection of the Heavenly Dao dissipated into the air.

At the same time, a cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire underground base.

[The base's self-destruct procedure has been initiated]

【05:5905:5805:57】

Although the scenes in the anime I'm watching are filled with the sadness of parting.

But the reactions of the anime/manga audience were completely different.

Upon hearing these words from the Heavenly Dao, they not only didn't want to cry, but even wanted to laugh—the kind of laughter that bursts out loud!
Champagne popping at halftime?

nonexistent!

Because if Laotian really is going to be taken offline.

Then there's no point in him saying those things!
Therefore, there is no doubt that these were the last words Lao Tian said.

This information was definitely leaked prematurely by the production team of All Stars in order to protect their "family"!
With this assessment, the atmosphere in the live chat instantly underwent a dramatic change.

The fun time has begun!

Everyone stand up! This wave from Laotian is in the atmosphere!

'Is this all the victory declaration after awakening? Lao Tian, ​​you really have some nerve.'

'Hahaha! I knew it! With a character as popular and memorable as Lao Tian, ​​how stupid would the production team have to be to kill him off?'

"Guys, pop the champagne!"

"Put it away! Who gave you permission to host a feast for Lao Tian? Didn't you see he'll be resurrected later? What bad luck!"

'Season 2: Wife-chasing drama in the making!'

"I don't care about this or that, guys, see you next season!"

'Hey... isn't anyone concerned about Prisoner Kong? Isn't he the main character?'

Amidst the excited expressions of the anime viewers, the camera slowly zoomed out to a certain height.

Boom boom boom——!
Then, amidst a series of violent explosions and flames.

The Ember Base, the most important story setting in the first season.

It transformed into an incomparably dazzling and brilliant 'firework', completely disappearing from the sight of all the viewers in all dimensions.

Although there is still one last episode of "Ember" yet to be released.

But everyone knows that the final episode hasn't been released yet.

Nine times out of ten, it's just to wrap up some foreshadowing from earlier scenes.

It also revealed some foreshadowing regarding the second season.

Therefore, the main storyline of the first season has ended.

As for the reaction to this ending.

You can tell from the dense barrage of comments on the dimensional screen right now.

As Heaven has said before.

Audiences don't like tragedies.

Meanwhile, a group of members from the production team of Qunxing, who were sitting in front of their computer screens watching the comments, first secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it seems their families are safe.

PS: That concludes today's update. I'll start making up for the extra chapters for monthly votes and patrons tomorrow.

After all, the debt is really quite large, and if we don't make up for it, we'll really be inhuman.

As for the ending of the first season, after careful consideration, Gian felt that there was no need to make it so sad.

Since the sadness we've already experienced is enough, going too far is as bad as not going at all, a happy ending is just fine too.

After all, I don't really like tragedies, haha.
