I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

Shingyoji Hatsu picked up the handkerchief on the table, covered his mouth with it and started coughing. A trace of pain and joy flashed across his old face.

He raised his hand, picked up the water glass, and downed the medicine in one gulp, which relieved his physical weakness.

"What happened?"

Erica patted Shingyoji Hatsu's back gently, her light green eyes filled with admiration and worry.

She was very afraid that her father would suddenly collapse and leave her forever.

After all, after being created, the only one who gave him warmth and affection was Shingyoji Hajime.

"The Celestial Empire has developed an anti-gravity system for spacecraft, cabin ecological technology, simulated gravity system, long-term storage technology for organic matter, and sleeping chamber technology. Oh my god, are those infrastructure maniacs cheating?!"

There was a beaming smile on Shingyoji's old face, and he shared his joy with his daughter Erica. At the end, he couldn't help laughing and complaining.

He was a substantial advocate of the Earth Escape Plan, and he was of course genuinely happy to see that the progress of his own plan had been advanced by several steps.

"That's great. Can Dad relax a little now?"

Erica was also happy from the bottom of her heart when she heard the good news.

But she was more concerned about her father's health which was caused by overwork.

"Maybe you're right, Erica. From a scientist's perspective, I can take a break, but as a father, I can't stop yet."

When he heard Erica's words, the smile on Shingyoji's face suddenly stopped.

Instead, there was an expression of guilt and bitterness, and his cloudy eyes were filled with grief, anger and pain.

"Every Phoenix is ​​excellent and has superior wisdom. In addition to being naturally expressed, many of your intelligence and talents also need to be developed and guided."

Shingyoji looked at Erica with dark eyes, and then the guilt in his eyes was replaced by anger. He clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, growling, "But those bastards actually graded them according to the intelligence test that Phoenix showed at the beginning. None of my daughters are useless!!!"

As one of the creators of Phoenix, Shingyoji is proud and proud.

But as time passed, he began to feel regret and guilt.

Because he felt sorry for the beautiful lives he had created.

"Father....."

Erica's eyes were bitter and melancholy. She looked at the extremely angry Shingyoji Hajime in front of her, and felt helpless in her heart.

Why did Shingyōji devote all his energy to research? In addition to contributing to the continuation of human civilization, he also punished himself because of his guilt.

Yes, Shingyoji Hatsu was torturing himself.

Erica also knew that this was all because of them, Phoenix.

The existence of Phoenix is ​​the pride of Shingyoji's life, but also his lifelong pain.

Shingyoji's original intention in creating the Phoenix was to continue human civilization, but the malice of human civilization excluded the Phoenixes.

Most people who know of the existence of the new human Phoenix do not like them.

Just because they are so outstanding, humans reject and fear them.

As an unnatural being, Phoenix is ​​feared because he is too outstanding, which is similar to the conflict between the Regulator and the natural man in Gundam.

If they, the Phoenix, are the new humans, then humans are the old humans who will be replaced and thrown into the garbage dump of history?

This is something that is absolutely unacceptable to human beings.

Also because of the rejection of human civilization, Phoenix was completely excluded. The top leaders defined them as useful tools and batteries for the continuation and progress of human civilization.

When faced with a huge disaster, humans always find a target to vent their anger.

The overly powerful Phoenix they created is the one who bears the sins of the world and bears a huge responsibility.

Provide great praise when needed, and then abandon it until the next unknown destruction comes.

Because Phoenix can help humans escape from the earth, their freedom should be restricted and they should be made to work hard.

Because Phoenix has the power to betray humanity, their minds must be restricted and their souls destroyed.

Only the Phoenix can live long, so it must work tirelessly to achieve the great goals of mankind.

Even to prevent the existence of Phoenix from shaking the stability of human society.

The unified government issued an order to Shingyoji Hatsu and other scientists, which almost drove him crazy and collapsed.

That is to sterilize the Phoenixes and adjust the genes of the remaining Phoenixes to make them infertile.

Because humans do not allow species that threaten their rule to exist.

At the same time, such an order to deprive Phoenix of its human rights is equivalent to sentencing Phoenix to destruction in the future.

It's like something that is thrown away after use...

"Erica, I'm sorry..."

After venting his emotions, Shingyoji Hatsu lowered his head, tears of regret and sadness flowed down his face and fell on the table.

Hearing Erica calling him father, Shingyoji Hatsu felt happy but also ashamed.

He brought these beautiful lives into this world, but made them face the cruelest and most profound malice.

If the Phoenixes were born to suffer, as a father, Shingyoji Hatsu would rather not have brought them into this world.

“Ding-ling-ling-ling——!!!”

Suddenly, the operating terminal on the desk of Zhenxingji Chu rang, disrupting the sad and melancholy atmosphere in the room.

Shingyoji Hatsu took off his glasses, wiped them, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then connected the terminal.

"This is Shingyoji Hatsu."

"Dr. Shingyoji, I'm the headquarter director."

A steady male voice came from the terminal. Shingyoji had just met the man, but he didn't like the director general.

His 703 Research Institute is where Phoenix was born and nurtured.

Because he strongly opposed the Unified Government's inhumane treatment of Phoenixes, the mansion where he lived was also monitored and controlled by the Unified Army.

Although they cannot interfere in the affairs of the 703 Institute, it is hard to say what will happen after he dies.

And this chief is one of the top leaders of the Unified Army.

"What's the matter, Chief?" said Shingyoji Hatsu in a cold and hoarse voice.

"How cold of you, Dr. Shingyoji. I'll make it short then."

The director at the other end of the terminal also knew that Shingyoji Hatsu didn't like him, so he got straight to the point without any further ado: "The Celestial Empire has made a major technological breakthrough, which is great news for our unified government, but bad news for the Southern Alliance that opposes the Earth's escape plan."

Upon hearing this, Shingyoji Hatsu and Erica beside him frowned.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Shingyoji Hatsu asked directly.

He is just a scientist, not a general who manages the unified army, nor a politician in the unified government.

He also knew about the Southern Alliance that opposed the Earth's escape plan.

A group of people who cannot see the cruel reality and are still fighting for power in a world that is about to end.

To deal with such a group of guys, doesn't the unified government always use force to communicate and suppress them?

Why are you looking for him?

"It doesn't matter much, but the Celestial Empire needs Phoenix's assistance." The head of the headquarters at the other end of the terminal said something that made Zhen Xingjichu's eyes twitch.

"The Phoenixes who have passed the incubation period have all been assigned to research institutes."

Most of the Phoenixes bred by the 703 Institute have been assigned to cutting-edge research institutes around the world.

The remaining Phoenixes are still in the breeding and learning period, and there are no extra individuals.

"The plan has changed. Phoenix needs to be reassigned. China, which has made major technological breakthroughs, needs the assistance of excellent Phoenix even more."

The words given by the headquarters director made Zhenxingjichu relax his frown.

After all, it is a wise move to concentrate excellent human resources in equally excellent places rather than in research institutes that have not yet produced results.

"So what does this have to do with the Confederacy you mentioned earlier?"

Hearing what Shingyoji said, the head of the terminal was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether he should tell the other party. After hesitating for a moment, he replied:

"The technological breakthroughs made by China in the space sector over the past six months were all led by a doctor. For the sake of the doctor's safety, the unified government did not make his existence public."

"But the technical difficulties have been overcome one after another. It is impossible not to be noticed. The resistance has learned about the existence of the doctor through spies and traitors within the unified government, and has recently launched several attacks."

Upon hearing this answer, Zhenxingji was stunned for a moment.

Then he quickly opened his system terminal again and looked at the various technological breakthroughs achieved in China.

Anti-gravity system, cabin ecological technology, simulated gravity system, long-term storage technology for organic matter, sleep chamber technology, etc. You said that these high-end technologies involving different fields were all developed by the same person?

"...So, the Phoenixes were assigned to this doctor?"

"Yes, the doctor has already started to develop a new energy source for spacecraft and is in need of manpower."

"May I know the doctor's name?"

Shingyoji Hatsu became somewhat interested in the doctor that the minister was talking about.

To be able to make breakthroughs in so many technical fields within half a year, the other party must be a talented PhD.

"Duan Mu Lian."

Without hiding anything, the minister gave his answer, but apart from the name, he did not say anything more.

After all, since Dr. Duanmu has been exposed, there is no need for him to hide his identity.

Their unified army only needs to protect each other, allow the other party to display their talents and make contributions to human civilization.

"Duanmu...Lian?"

Erica, who was standing by, heard this and murmured the name softly.

This name sounds unclear whether it is male or female, and it can be used for both boys and girls.

But whispering this name gave Erica a feeling.

She felt...that she would meet Dr. Duanmu one day.

That day may not be far away.

........

This ordinary and mundane doomsday world has no value to Duanmulian.

But if there is anything that can be called a specialty, it is only the new human named Phoenix.

After Duanmulian figured out the process of making the Phoenix through the Book of Omniscience, she was able to create genetically modified Phoenixes with her bare hands.

But that's not necessary.

His mental state is not very good now. He came to this world to recuperate and adjust his mental state caused by being possessed by demons.

As for why he became Dr. Duanmu, it actually has something to do with the elf Benjo Erya in his book.

Late at night, after finishing a day's research work, Duanmu Lian, Honjo Niya, and Liu Zi came to a heavily guarded manor.

"I really hate humans!"

Honjo Niya looked at the Book of Omniscience in his hand and said to Duanmulian beside him with a gloomy and unhappy face.

It was because of her personal reasons that she bothered Duanmulian to do things.

"Don't generalize. Even though Alicia knew the ugliness of humans, she still loved them."

Duan Mulian looked at the heavily guarded manor in front of him, raised her hand and gently patted the head of Benjo Niya beside her, and said in a neutral tone: "If you like someone because he does good things and hate him because he does bad things, then there is no point. You who like good things and hate bad things are actually no different from humans."

"Then how does Lord Duanmu view humans?"

Liu Zi who was beside him looked at Duanmulian who had an indifferent expression and a blindfold, and asked curiously.

She and Benjo Erya both knew that Duanmulian had a cold temperament. He would not be moved by kindness, nor would he be disgusted by evil. It was as if whether the people around him were good or evil had nothing to do with him.

"Just a background board."

Duan Mulian raised her hand, condensed it into an ice cube and threw it into her mouth, feeling the coldness in her mouth while answering.

No matter whether they are humans from this world or other worlds, humans from any world are just numbers and background boards to Duanmulian.

In fact, it is not just Duanmu Lian who has this attitude, most people in the world do the same.
