"Although I don't know what you're doing at the Millennium Tower, but it shouldn't be very convenient for you to be in this state right now, right?"
Although Lin Qiusheng was unable to restrain KEY, whose entire body was made of machinery and artificial skin, in his normal human form, he was now in a transformed state. With the power granted by the fantasy drive book, catching KEY was as easy as dealing with a child.
"..." KEY was speechless after hearing these words. His flailing limbs stopped struggling and fell powerlessly to the ground. He lowered his head and remained silent, his blood-red eyes staring straight at the direction of the thousand-year-old tower in front of him.
"By the way, what's going on with you right now? Where did that very handsome form of yours go? Is Alice still inside you?"
"...Haha, if I continue to not answer anything, are you going to keep asking questions like this?"
"Hey, you guessed it right, but there's no prize for the correct answer."
This gentle response made KEY sigh in silence. He had no choice but to let Lin Qiusheng hold his waist and describe the current situation with a serious expression and indifferent tone.
She simply explained everything from the beginning when Wang Jian used the dark sword Yue'an to split the dark red crystal to separate her and Tendo Alice, to the current situation.
At the beginning, when KEY faced Wang Jian, Piranha Megiddo and many other Megiddo, she knew that with her current abilities and the remaining weapons inside the Millennium Institute of Technology, she could not defeat them to protect the princess behind them.
Through the cameras and patrolling mechanical creations installed inside the Millennium Institute of Technology, they learned that Tiao Yue Liyin was heading to the surface from the underground legacy of the nameless gods.
So, she threw Alice Tendou in the direction of the Millennium Tower, hoping that the one percent left in the prediction, who was more rational than KEY and more like a robot, would temporarily let Alice Tendou go, and also give herself time to get rid of Wang Jian and Megiddo as soon as possible.
If the princess still chooses to stay in this Millennium Science and Technology Academy that is about to be destroyed at the last moment, she plans to go against Alice Tendo's will and forcibly take her out of the Millennium Science and Technology Academy.
However, due to some special reasons, before the subsequent plan could be realized, Alice Tendo and Rion Chozuki missed each other, leaving Alice Tendo alone around the Millennium Tower.
And now, [Nameless Princess of the Gods - ALIS], KEY's real body, Alice Tendo, slowly closes her heart and erases her own existence, hoping that what she sees and hears has not happened, and everything will return to its original beautiful state.
Without realizing it, she is using the power of the fantasy-driven book in her body to make her own choices to realize her own wishes when the book is completed.
As KEY, who shared the same heart and soul with Alice Tendo, naturally knew of this wish. However, as the guide of [Nameless Princess of the Gods - ALIS], she could not understand the significance of the princess's actions.
To her, Alice Tendo is everything to KEY. Even if sacrificing herself can save the princess, she will give her life without hesitation and become a stepping stone for Alice Tendo to move forward.
"...You once said that the sword possessed the power to shatter the void. Before this, the King's Sword shattered the dark red crystals I released, separating my will from the princess's, and also cleaved the Fantasy Drive Book within the princess's body in two."
"I possess the cover and end of this book, and the princess possesses the pages of the central content of the fantasy-driven book within her body. The Millennium Technology Academy you see now is the result of the princess's power."
"BRAVE OR DEVIL"
Millennium Science Academy: Chapter 235, Heroism Part 37, The Inner World
"Next, I will enter the princess' body and repair the Fantasy Drive Book that was recently shattered into two pieces by the King's Sword, and put them back together again."
"You should take advantage of this opportunity to enter Alice's inner world and convey what you want to say."
"As for what choices you and the princess will make next, I will not interfere."
"KEY..." Lin Qiusheng couldn't calm down for a long time when he looked at the girl in front of him who had a similar face, appearance and dress. KEY had the opposite calmness and composure of Alice Tendo, and she would also think about solutions when facing problems.
Perhaps, he made the wrong choice from the very beginning. Before he even came into contact with KEY, he arbitrarily and subjectively identified her as a person who would endanger Tendo Alice and forcibly occupy her body.
Maybe she cared for Alice more than he thought, like a guardian of her position, a guide... No, sister? Mother!
"Hey, what are you giggling about? Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this because I have no other choice but to protect the princess from those monsters."
The girl who usually had an innocent smile in Lin Qiusheng's eyes now showed a look of contempt and disgust, which made him tremble all over. A very strange and throbbing feeling made him twist his body involuntarily. He raised his hand and patted KEY gently on the head.
"Hahaha, I get it. You're such a dishonest tsundere."
"..." KEY narrowed her dark red eyes and stared at Lin Qiusheng in silence. She was very unhappy with Lin Qiusheng's misunderstanding, but she needed his strength to save the princess.
In the end, she had no choice but to snort coldly and ignore Lin Qiusheng who was clinging to her. She turned her head to look at Caiyu Momoi who was blinking rapidly and approaching her, as well as Caiyu Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Saiyu Taojing, I apologize to you for the hurt I caused you before. I am very sorry."
"But please don't get stuck with me. What's wrong with you?"
"...Well, that's it." Cai Yu Taojing pursed her lips like a cat, crossed her arms in front of her chest and nodded excitedly.
"I accept your apology. It seems that you cherish Alice very much. Then you are definitely not a bad person!"
"Since you are Alice's partner, you are also our partner. You can fill out the application form when you have time later!"
The requirements for joining our department are very strict, hehe~"
Cai Yu Taojing put her left hand on her waist, raised her chin with a smug look on her face, and put her right index finger on her lips as if she was humming a laugh. This light-hearted answer surprised KEY for a moment. She frowned slightly and interrupted in confusion:
"Wait? Wait, what on earth are you talking about? Saiwa Momoi."
"Just like Alice, you can call us Xiaotao, Xiaolu, or Yuzu. No need to be so polite!"
"..." KEY stared with his dark red eyes, his gaze constantly sweeping across the faces of Lin Qiusheng and Cai Yu Taojing, as if to say to him, you are worthy of being the students you taught, even their behavior of not listening to others is exactly the same.
Such a gaze made Lin Qiusheng feel very embarrassed. He grinned awkwardly, raised his hand to scratch his cheek, and looked away from his wandering gaze.
"Because of my presence, not only you, but many more people have been injured. Millennium Institute of Technology has become what it is now. Do you think I will continue to stay here as if nothing happened? I'm joking, but there is a limit."
After hearing what KEY said, Lin Qiusheng couldn't help but droop his shoulders in disappointment.
I thought that after this, KEY and the black server would turn from secret to public and directly join the Millennium Institute of Technology. It seems that this idea is indeed a bit unrealistic.
What KEY said was true. After her battle with Megiddo, the Millennium Institute of Technology had been completely reduced to ruins, and other academies were also in chaos.
Thinking back to the promise he made to Diao Yue Linyin to clean up the mess, and the heavy workload that followed, he grinned and feared tomorrow.
However, Cai Yu Taojing's reaction was somewhat opposite to Lin Qiusheng's helplessness. She was confused and embarrassed, thinking about something seriously, and then shook her head left and right.
"Hmm, I'm a little confused. What's the commander of the nameless gods' incomprehensible army? What's the guide who guides the princess to destroy the world? It would be easier to remember if it were a name from the game."
"After all, you're still Alice, right?"
"..." KEY stared at Saiwa Momoi in front of him and Saiwa Midori and Hanaoka Yuzu behind her in confusion. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head left and right.
"Aren't you the same person? To us, you and Alice share the same body and the same memories. Even though your personalities are different, you are still Alice!"
"We are a team of brave warriors! We cannot abandon any of our teammates without permission! We promised to move forward together, to experience the sorrows and joys together."
"And now, we're about to welcome our fifth member. With that, defeating the great demon Yuuka will be a piece of cake!"
As expected, they were the ones who took care of Alice in the beginning. Even their way of speaking was so similar in some ways. Lin Qiusheng showed a peaceful expression as he watched the little ones in front of him talking to each other.
Seeing that KEY still had an expression of confusion, Cai Yulu slowly walked to her side and told her what had happened before.
"Earlier, my sister, Kurosaki Koyuki from the seminar, and the finance club released a virtual currency, which nearly caused the financial system and stock market to collapse within Millennium Technology Academy."
"If it weren't for President Liyin and Senior Himari's intervention, we would have become students of other academies long ago."
The usually timid Hanaoka Yuzu also came in front of KEY, crossed her hands and clenched her fists tightly, and mustered up the courage to look into her dark red eyes.
"Well...well, what we mean is that you should not worry about it. No matter what happens, there will always be a solution."
"According to what Xiaotao just said, you are now also a member of our brave team...so please give me your guidance."
KEY looked coldly at the Caiyu sisters, Hanaoka Yuzu, and the warm-faced Lin Qiusheng in front of him, and sighed tiredly.
"...Forget it. I guess arguing won't get you anywhere. Just do as you please. Stretch out your hands and let's hold them."
"Oh well."
Lin Qiusheng quickly raised his hands that were hanging on his arms, held Hanaoka Yuzu on his left hand, and gently held KEY's smooth and soft palm with his right hand.
The Caiyu sisters also held each other's hands tightly. Caiyu Taojing took KEY's right hand with a grin on her face.
"Next, I will guide your consciousness into the data space, while your body will remain here."
"Ahaha... Well, I'll leave the child to you, Sensei. Uncle and Nero will be in charge of guarding you outside during this time."
Hoshino Takanashi smiled as soft as a marshmallow and patted the tycoon sword Gedo that was stuck in the ground beside her. Megan Nero beside her also grinned and shook the double guns in her hands.
"Hmph, although protection missions aren't my strong suit, if anyone dares to disturb you at this hour, I'll beat them all back!"
"Nero, Hoshino, you're really reliable. Well, I'll leave the outside in your hands."
After a brief farewell to Hoshino Takanashi and Megan Nero, Lin Qiusheng and KEY, the three little ones from the game development department, held each other's hands tightly.
The next moment, a dark red light burst out from KEY's petite body and transformed into the shadow of a huge book that enveloped everyone's bodies. The bustling city streets around them also became distorted and drilled into the unknown space in front of them.
"The words are la la la la la la la la la!!!!"
"BRAVE OR DEVIL"
Looking at Lin Qiusheng and the three kids from the game development department, KEY's body was wrapped in the huge shadow of a book. Hoshino Takanashi and Megan Nero looked at each other and at the same time looked at the crowded street not far in front of them.
"Oh my~ It seems that the uncle has really been underestimated."
"Huh, Megiddo people, you really think we didn't notice you, right?"
"Hehehe, we are not that conceited yet, Swordsman of Earth and Miss Human."
The harsh and sharp reply echoed around the Millennium Tower. Several figures slowly walked out from behind the building, looking at the people in front of them with evil smiles on their faces.
"MIENIKUI AHIRUNOKO"【The little duck that can't be seen clearly.】
GRNSEKIOU GOLEM
PIRANHA NO LUNCH
Since she was born, the world she saw through her turbid eyes was stained dimly by the dancing flames. Figures in white stood on her left and right, gazing at the ruined civilization below, their indifferent words echoing in the wilderness.
"The predetermined coordinates should have been correct... Why didn't the [color] appear?"
"This situation...is definitely not what we planned. The colors clearly reacted to their pain, so why didn't they descend?"
"How could this happen? Clearly, this generation's civilization already possesses the sublime, the mysterious, and the terrifying. Could it be that some irresistible factor has disrupted all of this?"
The nameless priests were conducting judgments around the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky, their murmuring voices filled with confusion and doubt, even a hint of anger.
"I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it."
"I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it."
"I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it, I can't understand it."
They nodded slightly and watched with their stiff, mask-like faces the disappearance of this generation's prosperous civilization, returning to the dust and being buried under the dust.
When everything in the world returned to peace again and the scorching flames turned into a lush forest, the nameless priest slowly relaxed his tense body, and only then did he clearly realize that his plan had failed.
They stared at the blue sky and the humans who were starting to build files again, then looked down at ALIS beside them.
"It seems that this experiment did not achieve our original goal after all. What a pity."
"There are inherently unavoidable external factors in our experiments and plans. However, this demise of civilization has essentially confirmed that color clearly responds to pain and sorrow."
"Just knowing this is enough. No matter how the civilization of this world changes, the mechanical creations we create are ultimately immortal. What we desire will surely come again."
"...ALIS." Along with the soft call, the girl whose body was covered with moss and vines moved her body forward and stopped beside the nameless priest.
"Guide, change the underlying program. This body will then fall into a deep sleep. When you awaken again, destroy everything this world can see..."
"... Corrected. I understand. I will lead the princess onto the right path."
Her dark red eyes sparkled with a lively light, just as the sea and the land wrapped her azure self in the unreachable depths, retaining her beautiful vision and wishes for the world as clear as a blank sheet of paper.
"Hmm? What's going on? Where is this place?... Ugh!"
A familiar feeling of dizziness came into Lin Qiusheng's mind, and the strong discomfort forced him to grin and lean over to retch.
"Puha... cough, cough, cough, why does it feel like I've entered the secret realm of Avalon again? This awful experience, once is enough."
"Hey, KEY, how's everyone doing?"
Turning around, he saw the Caiyu sisters and Hanaoka Yuzu from the game development department piled up like a pyramid at Lin Qiusheng's feet, howling in pain.
KEY stood quietly beside him, gazing at the pitch-black fog-shrouded space around him. He looked around at the surrounding environment and finally fixed his gaze on the left.
"Woo wow! Sister, sister, please get up quickly, you are so heavy!"
"Oh... It feels so uncomfortable, just like I played games all night for a week without a good rest." Cai Yu Taojing was on the top of the stack of people. She covered her head with her hands, frowned, and squeezed her facial features together as she supported her body from behind Cai Yulu in great pain.
This action made Cai Yulu, who was already under pressure, complain again and wave his limbs continuously.
“Sister, sister!!!”
"No, don't move, Xiaolu. If you keep doing this, I'm going to vomit..."
"Wooooa ...
Hanaoka Yuzu, buried under the two sisters Caiyu, struggled for a long time before finally managing to poke her head out from under the heavy pressure. She used all her strength to drive them away and said:
"Woo, Xiao, Xiaotao, Xiaolu, you guys... hurry up and get up, I can't breathe..."
Millennium Technology Academy: Chapter 237, Heroism Part 39, Millennium Technology, Shocking
The completely black box, as big as an ink palm, emitted a dim black luster under the scorching sun overhead. It was fixed on Megan Nero's left wrist with a leather wristband.
