Skadi, returning to infinity

That is placing unnecessary expectations on children.

Rhodes Island made Amiya their leader for three reasons: first, her Originium Arts were unique; second, she inherited Theresa's abilities and was given the "crown"; and third, the events surrounding Babel.

The entire top management was reshuffled.

Of the original trio of Doctor, Theresa, and Kal'tsit, only Kal'tsit remains.

Naturally, this meant choosing a new leader, and Amiya was the most suitable one.

but now……

That's not how it works.

Chapter 42: Gently stroking his lips, what did you two just do?

Kal'tsit had one hand in her pocket and placed a document on the table with the other.

"There are currently ten children under the age of ten receiving treatment at Rhodes Island."

"And among those aged ten to twelve, including Amiya, excluding Rin and the other three, there are a total of 18."

“These children are mostly infected with Oripathy, even though they are all very strong and optimistic.”

"But seeing Rin and the other children who weren't infected and were so loved..."

"It would be strange if you weren't envious."

This is something Skadi usually doesn't notice.

And now Kal'tsit has pointed it out directly.

After hearing this, she closed her eyes and thought about it for a moment.

"Well, I see."

After understanding the situation, Skadi began to think about it.

"There are still a lot of empty houses on the Rhodes Island ship. I plan to convert them into various entertainment rooms."

"Kal'tsit, I'm leaving this to you."

"After you've organized the information, send it to me, and I'll take care of these things."

Skadi looked at Kal'tsit with eyes full of trust.

"Hmm? Doctor, Dr. Kal'tsit, what are you talking about?"

She waited outside the door for a long time before she heard Skadi and Kal'tsit finally start talking normally. Only then did she pat her chest to calm herself down.

At the appropriate time, she knocked on the bathroom door, looked at the two of them, and asked.

"It's like this..."

Kal'tsit was unaware that she had been outside all along. Now that she saw her, she explained what she had been talking about with Skadi.

"So, does the doctor want to give these children a better life?"

Nodding, Skadi said softly, "I used to think they were sick and should rest and recuperate instead of doing more things."

"But actually I was constrained by my own excessive protectiveness towards them."

"With our treatment, they are not actually that easy to get into trouble."

"If that's the case, then why distinguish them from other children?"

“They are children too, and they also long for the same care.”

"I guess I was overthinking it."

"Please help me organize the information in the next couple of days."

"I will renovate Rhodes Island on my last day."

At this point, one should say that it's fortunate that I made some plans for Rhodes Island in advance, leaving 70% of the space for people who join later.

Rhodes Island will eventually become a sky city, and Skadi's current construction there will not be a waste of resources.

After all, everything she built was movable, and with Xiao Ai around, it wasn't a difficult task.

"Yes, Doctor."

Precyth nodded, then looked at Kal'tsit, her gaze lingering on her lips.

Although it was only for a moment, Kal'tsit still managed to catch it keenly.

"...Could she have seen it...?"

Kal'tsit was slightly startled, but on the surface she remained calm.

She was genuinely worried that Precys would see any changes in her.

After all, even if they are discovered, as long as they pretend nothing happened, nothing will happen.

But once she reveals any flaws, she will truly be admitting defeat.

"I'll go out for a bit."

As Skadi passed by Precys, she glanced at her sideways with a meaningful look.

"Children..."

Stealthily walking inside the Rhodes Island ship, Skadi looked at the operators around her, and then at the young operators who were not yet twelve years old.

They are clearly just like ordinary people, no different from anyone else, but she sees them as different, and that is her problem.

"Ordinary people in this world are actually the same as those in other worlds..."

After wandering around Rhodes Island, Skadi went to the bridge and sat down.

Having traveled to many worlds, Skadi views the people and things of each world differently.

This is also her own problem, and it has always been in her subconscious.

Now that she has figured things out, she feels much more at ease.

I seem to be following the so-called "trajectory" of this world too much.

"Actually, I've been telling you all along that you don't need to be so cautious."

Perhaps sensing her slight mood, Xiao Ai appeared on her shoulder, looked at her profile, and whispered.

"It's my problem."

After stretching, Skadi readily admitted to it.

"I've always worried that if I change too much, it might cause the world to collapse."

"So I've always been very careful. Although I've done a lot, I haven't dared to mess around with places like Babel or Rhodes Island."

"Even if things change, we will straighten them and get them back on track."

"I don't know if this is good or bad, but I... I try my best to do these things well most of the time."

"From the current perspective, my biggest problem is that I don't try to make changes."

"Since we are all still here, why should we put the burden of Rhodes Island on those children?"

"Since we have the ability to change all of this, why do we need to let tragedy happen?"

"The world will be destroyed, but that's a long time from now."

"Before that, we need to do our own thing well, only then can we..."

"Let the future you desire arrive."

"I was being too cautious."

Skadi did not deny her mistakes; she knew very well what she could do and what she should do.

"Isn't this better, Miss Skadi?"

"You listened to all the reminders I gave you before, but you didn't take them seriously."

"Because you have your own ideas."

"I know very well that I can't change you easily."

"So I'm just waiting for you to make the decision and make the change yourself."

"Now it seems that my waiting was worthwhile."

After all, Ai is just a system that assists Skadi, not the one that controls Skadi.

So even with all her reminders, once Skadi made her own decision, Xiao Ai wouldn't say anything more.

However, seeing that she has finally begun to take the initiative to change some things, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not too late now. At least she realized this before joining the Reunion Movement, which will make it easier for her to work within the movement later.

"Xiao Ai, if there's anything that's really necessary in the future, but I don't listen, just remind me."

"Remind me by any means necessary."

"Otherwise, I'm easily prone to self-delusion."

"Once I become overconfident, something bad will happen..."

"I don't want this kind of problem to occur because of my own mistake."

Hearing her say that, Xiao Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll remind you in my own way later, as you said..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Chapter 43: Please merge with me…●●●

"Miss Skadi, it seems you've run into some trouble?"

Suddenly, Lady Ghost Lin Yuran appeared behind her, patted her shoulder, and asked in a gentle tone with curiosity.

"It's okay, I've figured it out myself."
