In that state, Triga, due to the connection between light energy, seemed to be in a state of some kind of loss of control. Therefore, without saying a word, he directly started fighting with Carmilla and Dagon, which looked like an internal strife among the Dark Giants.

At the same time, You Sha Lei seized the opportunity and launched her killing move, breaking open a gap in the sealed land and revealing the [Eternal Core] within.

Upon seeing the [Eternal Core], Carmira, Dagon, and the corpse-lying Hitram immediately made a move, but were all stopped by Triga, who was engaged in battle. This action immediately stirred up emotions in the three dark giants, with Hitram even directly calling Triga a 'traitor'!

No matter what the dark giants did, You Sha Lei used the power of the [Eternal Core] to launch an attack on the enemies. The powerful force blasted all the giants away. Unfortunately, You Sha Lei's current condition was too poor. She severely injured them again but could not kill them. She had to change her mind and seal them away as stone statues.

After accomplishing all this, You Sha Lei, unable to withstand the power of the [Eternal Core], died on the spot, thus bringing this battle that took place thirty million years ago to a close....

254 My past?

"So, this is what Dark Trigger looks like after absorbing light energy?"

Listening to Yusa Lei's account, Gen Subaru looked at his old friend with admiration. Regardless of whether she had better tactics to choose from, she successfully completed her plan and defeated all the enemies. Although she failed to kill the Dark Giants, given the situation, Yusa Lei did a good job and deserved praise.

However, praise aside, the current situation still needs to be clarified. As a being who also possesses light and dark energy, Gen Subaru did not perceive the balance between light and darkness in the face of Triga. Based on the current perception scan, this giant of light who is fighting Chimaira is just a simple holder of light energy.

"No."

Yu Shalei shook her head and said softly:

"Triga was much stronger back then than he is now, but I still don't understand why he turned out this way."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Gen Subaru looked at Chimaira, who had sent Triga flying, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Also, are you sure this is the Dark Triga who fought you and me back then? Judging from the way he fights, he's like a complete novice. Is this really not some human who inherited the Light of Triga?"

"Without a doubt, he is Triga."

Yu Shalei said in a resolute tone:

"I have confirmed this repeatedly, but I don't really understand why he has become like this. To be honest, after I used the power of the [Eternal Core] to seal these dark giants, I 'died'. As for what happened afterward, I don't know much."

"This is really interesting."

Subaru scratched his neck, shooing away the flying insects that had landed on him, and then continued speaking to Yusa Rei:

"Now that Triga has returned to normal, I assume Carmilla, Hitram, and Dagon have also been unsealed, right? How much do you know about their current situation?"

“You’re right, those three dark giants have indeed awakened.”

When this topic came up, You Shalei sighed helplessly and said:

"Although my actions and perception are limited because I am currently residing in this descendant's body, this descendant is still a member of this generation's Earth Defense Force. Through her, I learned that Carmilla has already appeared on Mars, but I don't know why, after that appearance, this dark giant disappeared again. I have a bad feeling."

"In that case, let's go."

Gen Subaru extended his hand towards Yusa Lei, its surface shimmering with a dark golden light, and said with a smile:

"Break free from your descendants, become Nexus once more, and join me in destroying those dark giants."

However, faced with Gen Subaru's invitation, Yusa Lei thought for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"No, let's maintain the status quo for now, Subaru. I can tell you're not doing well. And... are you sure you can stay here for long this time?"

"Hard to say."

Gen Subaru thought for a moment, then withdrew his power and said softly:

"There might still be some troubles in my universe that I need to eliminate, and a fierce battle is waiting for me. So, I should be able to come here often, but how much time I can stay each time depends on the specific circumstances."

"Then let's conserve our strength. I've already set up a trap. As long as the dark giants' goal remains the [Eternal Core], they'll have to fall into my trap. It's an open scheme they can't avoid."

Yu Shalei ran her fingers through her white hair, her gaze turning serious as if she were going over her plan again. Then, she looked at Yuan Mao, thought for a moment, and pleaded:

Subaru, can you do me a favor?

"Look at what you're saying, that's too formal. What help do you have?"

Gen Subaru sat up straight and said seriously:

"My identity has been exposed. Do I need to target someone? No problem. Whether it's physical amnesia or telekinesis, I'm quite good at it."

"That's not it."

Yu Shalei made a comment, then said seriously:

"Could you change your appearance and help me test this Triga? It doesn't necessarily have to be a fight, just help me see if his current amnesia is an act or if he really doesn't remember what happened 30 million years ago."

"That's easy to say."

Gen Subaru snapped his fingers, and a faint glow enveloped the light particle aggregate. He then transformed back into his previous appearance in Mikami Town. Yusa Lei looked at his towering 1.8-meter frame, then at the boyish face atop it, and, feeling a bit embarrassed, covered her forehead, whispering:

Don't you think this looks awkward?

"Ah...it's alright, at least your face still looks quite old, doesn't it?"

Regarding Yusa Rei's situation, back in Mikami-cho, some neighbors kindly... genuinely kindly, made some comments, saying that her body and face looked different. But they also said that after getting used to it, Subaru's appearance was still quite handsome, at least someone later gave him a love letter.

Furthermore, the members of the Night Raid Team also mentioned this incident later. They joked that when they first met, they couldn't immediately deduce Subaru's age. In the end, they decided to go by the age of his face, but they didn't expect that they would be wrong. The face and height didn't count; they had to calculate based on his bone age, which was less than four years old.

After this little incident, Gen Subaru stood up, adjusted to the familiar view, and while stretching his arms and legs, he casually said to Yusa Rei:

"If he has truly forgotten what happened three thousand or ten thousand years ago, do you intend to train him to be the new guardian of Earth?"

"I don't deny that I have such a plan."

Yusa Lei's body began to feel somewhat disintegrated. This was because she was still very weak, and the fact that she had been away from Shizuma Keina's body for too long had made her remaining soul unstable.

Yusa Lei had encountered similar situations before. For example, when she had just awakened, she would sneak out while Shizuma Keina was sleeping to investigate the situation in the real world. When signs of instability appeared, she would hurriedly run back and enter a state similar to 'hibernation' to recover her power.

This time, however, Yu Shalei remained calm. She confidently opened her arms to Yuan Mao. Yuan Mao smiled slightly and threw out a ball of pure white light, which merged into Yu Shalei's body, stabilizing her condition and strengthening her power.

However, after the pure white light was completely absorbed by Yu Sha Lei, her soul began to flicker again, as if it were unstable. Yuan Mao knew very well that this veteran actress had begun her performance.

"You don't need to be so careful, I'm right here. Honestly, I feel like I'm being looked down upon."

Gen Subaru couldn't help but pat Yusa Rei on the shoulder and said helplessly:

"Relax, relax. Even if there are enemies, they can't be watching you 24/7."

"I'm used to it, so I'll leave it at that. I don't plan to change it for now."

Yusa also stood up, looking at Triga and Chimaira, whose battle was about to be decided, and casually said:

"Subaru, are you planning to go now?"

"No, I'm not that busy."

Gen Subaru glanced at Yusa, who was sitting on a stone stool with her legs and arms outstretched as if she were stretching, and then, as if remembering something, said softly:

"Oh right, I think I promised you before that if circumstances allowed, we could switch places. Shall we do it now?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, You Sha Lei was stunned for a moment, then remembered that, indeed, 30 million years ago at the base, when she was carrying Yuan Mao, the two of them had indeed joked around like this. She had forgotten about it, if Yuan Mao hadn't mentioned it.

"I prefer carrying it on my back rather than holding it in my arms."

Yu Sha Lei thought for a moment. She wasn't used to being carried by Yuan Mao. If something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be easy for Yuan Mao to retaliate while carrying her. It would be better to carry her on his back. If an enemy jumped out, she could more easily throw out a few skills to attack.

"A body that does not seek fame in stillness."

At this moment, Yusa Lei watched as Gen Subaru walked towards her descendant. Understanding his intentions, she quickly called out to him, opening her arms and saying:

"It's about carrying me on your back, not carrying my offspring. Get that straight, okay?"

"You've picked up this modern verbal tic pretty quickly."

Gen Subaru turned around with a smile, hooked his finger, and pulled Yusa Rei onto his back. At the same time, he used his telekinesis to support Shizuma Keina's body and casually chose a direction to walk. After all, everyone had been evacuated, so no one would see them no matter which way they went.

On Yuan Mao's back, the soul and the light particle aggregate were pressed together. Although neither had the warmth of flesh and blood, Yu Sha Lei felt an unusual warmth. She buried her face in Yuan Mao's back, her body trembling slightly. The loneliness that had accumulated over the years was disappearing rapidly. It was as if the emotional shell, which was forged with faith and as hard as steel, was about to be broken through by the joy that came with it.

But in the end, Yu Shalei held back. She let out a long breath, looked at Yuan Mao, and said with slightly red eyes:

"Subaru, thank you. You're still as understanding as ever."

Yu Shalei naturally knew why Yuan Mao brought this up. The agreement was just an excuse. He was simply concerned about his own pride and wanted to give himself a reason to rely on him temporarily, so that he could tell himself that in this world, there were not only enemies who came from 30 million years ago, but also comrades who could be trusted to stand by his side.

Both of them were well aware of these subtle thoughts. Yuan Mao knew that Yu Sha Lei could guess his ideas, and Yu Sha Lei also understood Yuan Mao's good intentions, just like the members of the Night Raid Team in TLT-J back then.

"Hmph, that's right, I'm very reliable."

Gen Subaru smiled and responded. Then, noticing Yusa Lei's hesitant expression, he said softly:

"Just say what you want to say. There's nothing we can't talk about."

"Um... do you remember the question I asked you after you finished telling me the story on the third night after we met?"

At this moment, You Sha Lei was more like a curious young girl, knowing it wasn't appropriate, but still unable to resist wanting to find out the answer.

"Oh, about the question of how my race came into being."

Yuan Mao instantly remembered Yu Sha Lei's question and couldn't help but laugh. Yu Sha Lei's silly expression at the time, like a child asking, "Mom and Dad, which garbage dump did you pick me up from?" was really too funny.

"Don't laugh, I was just too sleepy and my facial expressions didn't match."

Yusa Lei naturally knew what Gen Subaru was laughing at, because Gen Subaru had projected his own expression onto her face on the spot. Although she couldn't help but laugh too, she knew that only she could laugh at such things, and that Subaru wasn't allowed to laugh.

"Honestly, why are you still curious about this kind of thing?"

Feeling the ticklish little fists hitting his back repeatedly, Gen Subaru said helplessly:
