Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Before he could finish speaking, Karen had already hugged his head, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

"Well……"

The boy was clearly taken aback, while Karen released his head and took two steps back.

With her hands behind her back, she chuckled and said, "Goodbye, Ka. When we meet again... I won't feel any regret."

After saying that, she left without looking back, not even glancing at the boy again.

The boy touched the corner of his mouth, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Kid, don't tell me you can't dodge it."

Quite the spoilsport, Isaac's voice rang out from behind the boy.

"If I could dodge in an instant, I would never have been ambushed... Oh, nice glasses."

Upon hearing Isaac's voice, the boy felt a vein throb on his forehead and turned to ask.

"Are you very free? Why haven't you gone home yet?"

"I came to see you, and I happened to see something interesting."

"First of all, it's not that I can't avoid it, it's just that I feel it wouldn't be very polite to avoid it in this atmosphere, since we won't be seeing each other again."

"Hard to say."

"in addition……"

The boy took off his glasses, carefully put them away, and looked at Isaac.

"In my time, Dad, you were a comedian, and you're pretty much still now... So before we part, could you grant me one wish?"

"What is your wish?"

"Let's have another fight."

As soon as the boy finished speaking, his blond hair instantly turned silver-white, reaching his waist.

Seeing this, Isaac shook his head and chuckled twice.

His black hair instantly turned like a boy's, with long, silvery-white hair flowing behind him.

Two people with waist-length silver-white hair, faces so beautiful that it was impossible to tell their gender, and expressions that were cold yet divine, began to confront each other.

Where is the battlefield?

The Triangulum Galaxy, 287 light-years away.

it is good.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them vanished from the spot.

No one noticed that two people had been here.

Chapter 1651: Connecting Us

In fact, Cornelia had a vague understanding of some things after saying goodbye to Isaac.

The other party's origins are extremely mysterious. No matter what methods are used to investigate, nothing can be found. It's as if they appeared out of thin air.

Upon their first meeting, Cornelia was filled with hostility towards Isaac and wanted to find out everything about him.

But at that time, nothing was found.

After that, Cornelia was filled with curiosity about Isaac and decided to continue her investigation.

Further investigation did uncover some clues, such as the fact that some of Isaac's information was falsified.

However, when Cornelia truly developed feelings for Isaac, she no longer wanted to investigate.

She was afraid that she would find out something that would cause their relationship to break down.

At that time, she felt that maintaining the status quo was quite good. Occasionally, they could have afternoon tea or drinks together under the guise of work and chat, which made her feel at peace.

She also had a premonition that Isaac would leave one day.

I just didn't expect this day to come so suddenly.

Cornelia understood when Isaac told her, "Maybe I won't be back for a long time."

He meant that she shouldn't wait for him anymore.

The scenes of the past flashed before her eyes, making Cornelia feel a sense of melancholy.

It seems she should also face a future without Isaac...

That being said...

Cornelia glanced at Isaac, who was lying on the hospital bed looking uncomfortable.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Has it been a month?"

"I think I'm pregnant... Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch."

As soon as Isaac finished speaking, he cried out in pain from his hospital bed.

Cornelia glanced at him but didn't speak, while Suzaku Kururugi, who had also come to visit him, quickly stepped forward to check on him.

"Mr. Yao!? How are you feeling? Should we call a doctor?"

"No need to look anymore, there's not even a scratch."

Cornelia said, crossing her arms.

"Really, sister, you should care about Teacher Isaac a little more."

Euphemia, who had also come to visit, complained quietly to her sister before continuing to peel the apple in her hand and asking Isaac, who was lying in the hospital bed.

"Teacher Isaac, why did you suddenly collapse?"

"Oops, I got beaten up," Isaac said with a laugh.

"what?"

In the afternoon, Beijing time, Isaac and the boy began their final duel before leaving this world.

Then, also in the afternoon, patrolling Britannian soldiers found Isaac lying on the ground in an open area, looking like Yamcha.jpg.

After it was discovered that it was Isaac, he was rushed to the Royal Hospital, and that's how he is now lying in his hospital bed.

Looking back on the final father-son showdown with the boy, Isaac still felt a pang of sadness.

Previously, it was because the boy devoured the truth, and I, as the 'End of All Things,' took the place of the truth. You can hit the boy as you please.

But to put it bluntly, it was a ruthless suppression of the "mechanic monster" by the "numerical monster".

No matter what devastating attack the opponent uses, one can directly modify the cosmological constant to counter it.

Now, the boy, who has fully evolved, has returned the truth to himself. Unless Isaac wants to take the place of the truth, he will simply exert a portion of the truth's power.

It was from that moment that Isaac began to feel the overwhelming numerical superiority.

The entity, residing in a higher dimension and hovering within the time loop, provides the boy with infinite energy, which continues to expand at the speed of light.

The boy himself can distort gravity and manipulate electromagnetic forces to prevent himself from being attacked, while also ensuring that his body is harder than a neutron star.

Even if you can completely destroy it, don't forget that the boy's body is just a projection of his true self in the three-dimensional world. If the other party dies and his soul returns to his true self, then he will face billions of equally powerful individuals projected into the three-dimensional world again.

Can you imagine yourself in the vast universe, where a boy suddenly appears at different points in time and detonates stars, causing gamma-ray bursts from the collapse of 40 billion stars to simultaneously flood your face?

In the end, the state of truth that did not completely replace truth could not defeat the numerical monster with infinite energy. Despite its best efforts, it could not be defeated and was ultimately crushed mercilessly.

If Isaac were to directly replace Truth, he would still crush Truth just like before, but Isaac doesn't want to do that.

The boy actually knew that Isaac had let him win.

But he didn't care.

Anyway, when it comes to beating up my dad, I'm willing to go easy on him if you're willing to go easy on him.

"Phew... whatever."

Seeing that Isaac was in such a state, Cornelia sighed and got up, leaving with the excuse of being busy with official business.

Suzaku Kururugi and Euphemia also left the ward not long after Cornelia left.

Isaac continued to lie in the hospital.

After the battle, his condition was no longer suitable for him to open the Gate of Restoration and return; he definitely needed to rest in this world for a few more days.

Just then, the door to the ward was opened again.

This time, it was Sumeragi Kagura and Karen who came in.

Sumeragi Kagura stared at Isaac on the hospital bed for a moment, then asked, "You were fighting?"

"Ah."

Karen asked curiously, "Who won?"

"..."

Isaac remained silent, while Sumeragi Kagura sighed in exasperation.

That's a question that shows a lack of emotional intelligence. If you had won, would you be lying here?

"Really, fighting is no good."

Emperor Kaguya changed the subject and poured a glass of water for Isaac, who was lying in the hospital bed.

Karen sat beside the hospital bed, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Has he... already left?"

"Yes."

"I see..."

Karen lowered her head slightly, while Sumeragi Kagura handed the water to Isaac and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'll continue to wait for him, Karen, you too, right?"

"……Do not."

Karen was silent at first, then smiled and shook her head.

"I don't have your patience. What if I can't wait for him..."

As she spoke, she looked out at the twilight outside the ward.

“I will go to him myself, after all… he will keep my gift safe.”
