Now that things have come, the ultimate goal of the Red Mentor is clear at a glance.

The "Artificial Protagonist Development Plan" with Yi Cheng as the main body failed for some reason, and she herself did not want to give up her power easily, especially to use this to gain a stronger ability and person called "The God of Protagonist" at the critical moment of "upgrading".

In this case, what the Red Mentor has to do now is to strip away the protagonist's halo on Yi Cheng and take it for himself. In this way, she, who has mastered the protagonist's abilities, can naturally become an unprecedented and unique "protagonist god" in this world after successfully upgrading.

In fact, if there is really someone in this world who has the ability to take away the protagonist's halo from Yi Cheng, then this person should be the Red Mentor for granted.

"As you think, I also have some of my contributions to the construction of the primary hero ability database."

I don't know when it started, but Yi Cheng suddenly felt that his consciousness began to become a little dazed. Moreover, in such a dazed state, he could more clearly feel that there was a certain power that was quietly being pulled away from him.

"How to completely and intactly strip away all abilities and preserve them from the level heroes, and also confirm that they can be reused later. So far, I am probably the only one in this world who can do it."

"Then you are great..."

Even though he knew what the ending he was going to face, Yi Cheng was still stubborn and mocked him, wanting to regain some face for himself.

Anyway, he died, and he has never died. At least this time... he can't be as cowardly as he did the previous time!

However, in contrast to his rather than surrender attitude, while Mentor Hong pulled away from his ability, his voice became much softer than ever before.

"What a fool..."

She gently stroked Yi Cheng's forehead with her palms, wiped away a layer of slight sweat that was oozing out there. The rippling in her eyes was also as misty as water, making people unable to see through and touch.

"Actually, I really didn't expect that you could use and master this power to this extent, and even escape from the underworld... At this point, I did miscalculate it."

"Ha... Then should I be a little proud of this?"

"What's there to be proud of, fool."

While Yi Cheng gritted his teeth and said this, he had already been bounced heavily on his forehead.

"Don't you understand yet... the reason why you want to kill you is actually... it's to protect you."

"...What do you call protection?"

Yi Cheng was almost thrilled by this woman's fallacy.

"The way your family protects is to make your husband's * into a paste, and then destroy the corpse and traces?"

"...Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, maybe..."

Instructor Hong shook his head. This time, she finally left Yi Cheng. When she left, Yi Cheng also felt that her body seemed to have weakened suddenly.

"...All of this is your fate as the protagonist."

“…Is fate arranged?”

For some reason, after hearing what Master Hong said, Yi Cheng’s mind was the day when the two first met.

If all of this is called "arrangement of fate", then on that day, his encounter with the Red Mentor can also be called "reunion of fate" - although now I think about it, all the scenes that this woman had arranged early in the morning, but...

"At least from that day to now, I have...really regarded myself as...the savior who is protecting this world."

No...it should be said that his purpose is actually not to protect the world from the beginning.

"It's already this time... can you tell me?"

"What?"

Tutor Hong subconsciously lowered his head, but what he saw was Yi Cheng's bright eyes.

"Even now, I still believe that the reason you do all this is because you have 'must give up everything to protect', but the things I want to protect are different from yours..."

He stared at the pretty face of Instructor Hong, who was slightly surprised and panicked, and suddenly grabbed her arm.

"...As the savior, I have always been...you are the only ones I want to protect!"

“Buzz…”

As Yi Cheng's voice fell, the surrounding stone walls suddenly began to crack inch by inch.

“…It’s too late.”

Mentor Hong, who also noticed this, showed him an apology smile for the first time since the two met again.

"I just didn't expect...you actually made it because of this reason... forget it, it's meaningless to say this now."

“…The upgrade ceremony has begun?”

“As you see…”

With the gentle wave of mentor Hong, the stone walls around him instantly turned into nothing. Until this moment, Yi Cheng realized that he was still staying in the tomb where he had just fought.

To be more precise, he and the Red Master have been hiding in the center of the tomb. It is said that it is King Arthur's huge sarcophagus. However, for some reason, no one in the tomb had ever noticed it.

"So... this is what you are now."

From the beginning... the Red Tutor who traveled through time and space to the tomb was not one, but two.

The red mentor from the past replaced the "present" red mentor to welcome the arrival of Yi Cheng and his group, while the red mentor from the "future", or more accurately, from the "future that ended the battle in that timeline", returned to the past as reinforcements and dominated the entire battle.

The real mentor Hong, who is on the right time line, has been living in the sarcophagus from the beginning, quietly brewing the "upgrade" ceremony, and at the same time, he is also waiting for the most critical "props" needed for upgrading, that is, the moment Yi Cheng himself was transported to this sarcophagus.

The so-called "independent time and space" is actually a language trap set by Teacher Hong from the beginning. There is only one place in the entire tomb where the time and space are truly independent, and that is... the sarcophagus where Teacher Hong himself is!

Knowing that at this moment, Yi Cheng finally figured out all the details of the previous "Time and Space Warning" of the Red Mentor, but... it was obviously too late.

"The so-called 'the same body encounters each other at the same time will have an accident of time and space disorder'..."

Now that I recalled what Master Hong said before, Yi Cheng finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
