Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

This is very similar to a certain being that Kenzaki Kazuma will encounter in the future!

The person before them already knew of its existence.

"You know it?"

Jiang Ye asked cautiously.

The young man in white did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Rick in the distance.

“I am different from you.”

He raised his hand, and a soft light appeared in his palm.

"I don't have strong combat abilities, but I excel at... mental techniques."

Countless images emerged from the light.

Ancient battlefields, the rise and fall of civilizations, the survival of races... all ultimately come to a conclusion in an earth-shattering war.

"I am one of the progenitors of humankind, the 2 of Hearts."

The young man in white spoke with a calm yet weathered voice.

"Ten thousand years ago, I won the Extreme War, making humanity the ruler of this planet."

Jiang Ye's pupils dilated slightly.

I never imagined that the person in front of me would be the legendary ancestor of humankind!

"The wisdom and mental control I possess..."

The young man in white continued speaking.

"It helped humanity avoid apocalyptic tragedies in future wars."

He looked at Jiang Ye, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"I care about the fate of humanity, in any world."

His words resonated throughout the entire stone forest.

Countless totems lit up with a faint light.

"Are you willing... to lend me your power?"

Jiang Ye asked cautiously.

The young man in white smiled slightly.

"It's not about lending, it's about giving."

He raised his hand and touched Jiang Ye's forehead.

Chapter 190: Supporting Each Other

"Humans need to support each other in order to survive in this cruel universe."

In an instant, Jiang Ye felt a vast, ocean-like spiritual power surge into his consciousness.

Unlike the combat-type energy I've gained before, this power is gentle and profound, flowing into my heart like a gentle stream.

In the real world, Jiang Ye's body trembled slightly.

A cyan light automatically appeared in his palm, quickly condensing into a complete energy bottle.

The bottle is crystal clear, with countless tiny runes flowing inside, emanating a tranquil and profound rhythm.

"Alaya-vijnana..."

Jiang Ye softly uttered its name.

Unlike the violent reactions I had experienced when obtaining energy bottles in the past, this time the process was exceptionally peaceful.

The blue light gently enveloped his arm, completely merging into his body.

In the space of consciousness, the figure of the young man in white began to slowly become transparent.

"Remember, Jiang Ye."

His voice gradually faded into the distance.

"True power comes not only from the fist, but also from the heart..."

The clock in Nasita's Cafe points to three in the morning. Sento is already asleep on the lab table, with 113's cheek pressed against a draft paper covered with formulas.

"Battle Rabbit."

Jiang Ye gently patted him.

Sento suddenly woke up and almost fell off his chair.

He saw Jiang Ye standing in front of him, holding a blue energy bottle in his hand.

"This...is this?"

War Rabbit's scientific instincts were immediately activated, and his sleepiness vanished instantly.

Jiang Ye placed the energy bottle on the table, its body shimmering with a mysterious luster under the light.

"Help me look into it."

War Rabbit carefully picked up the energy bottle and observed the energy flowing inside through the glass.

"Its structure is completely different from ordinary energy bottles... Wait a minute!"

He suddenly widened his eyes.

"This energy fluctuation... originated from within your body?"

Jiang Ye nodded.

"It's called Alaya-vijnana, and it leans towards hypnosis and mind control."

"Mind-related abilities?"

The war rabbit paced back and forth excitedly.

"If we can analyze the connection between this energy and the limbic system of the brain, we might be able to develop new equipment!"

He rushed toward the laboratory, but stopped abruptly at the door and turned to look at Jiang Ye.

"By the way...Misora ​​hasn't been in a good mood lately."

Jiang Ye was about to sit down when he heard this and was slightly taken aback.

"Ok?"

"She became very depressed after the invasion of the Northern Capital began."

Zhan Tu scratched his head.

"It might be because she was always in charge of purifying the energy bottles... I always felt like the war was related to her."

He hesitated before adding.

"I think...you're the best person to comfort her."

Jiang Ye blinked.

"why me?"

Sento gave a mischievous smile.

"Because she likes you. (ahcd)"

After saying that, he quickly slipped into the laboratory.

The coffee shop fell silent immediately.

Jiang Ye stood there, recalling Zhan Tu's words.

On a bench in an abandoned park, Misora ​​hugged her knees, staring blankly at a group of ants on the ground.

The evening breeze ruffled her pale pink hair, lifting a few strands.

"If I hadn't purified the energy bottle... we wouldn't have needed to fight..."

Several muffled explosions could be heard in the distance; the attack on Beidu was still ongoing.

Misora ​​shrugged and buried her face in her arms.

"Misora."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Misora ​​suddenly looked up and saw Jiang Ye standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, his black trench coat tinged with gold and red.

"Liu, Jiang Ye? What happened to you...?"

"Zhan Tu said you're here."

Jiang Ye walked to the bench and sat down, maintaining a just-right distance between them.

"not in a good mood?"

Misora ​​lowered her head, her fingers twisting together.

"I...I just felt..."

"You think the war is your fault?"

Jiang Ye picked up where she left off.

Misora ​​looked up in surprise, her eyes already red.

"how do you know..."

Jiang Ye didn't answer, but instead reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

This sudden action froze Misora.

"Without your ability."

Jiang Ye withdrew his hand and looked at the gradually darkening horizon in the distance.

"I can't even protect myself, Zhan Tu and Long."

Misora ​​bit her lower lip.

"But..."

Do you know where War Rabbit's original energy bottle came from?

Jiang Ye suddenly asked.

Misora ​​shook her head.

“It came from your father.”

Jiang Ye's voice was soft, yet every word was clear.

"Even without you, war will still break out. The difference is—"

He turned to look at Misora.

"Now, they have the strength to fight."

The streetlights in the park lit up one by one. In the dim light, Misora ​​saw a tenderness in Jiang Ye's eyes that she had never seen before.

"I...".

Chapter 191: Hypnosis Experiment

Just as Misora ​​was about to say something, another explosion came from afar, this time even closer.

Jiang Ye reached out his hand to her.

"Let's go back."

Misora ​​looked at the hand, hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and gently placed it on the hand.

Jiang Ye's hand was warm and strong, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

The wind chimes tinkled as the coffee shop door was pushed open.
