In the courtyard, [Cicero] did not respond positively to [Z]'s words, but instead waved forward.

In the courtyard like a fairyland, a pavilion suddenly appeared on the ground... This is some kind of image, just a reality.

[Z] Subconsciously reached out and touched it, but the palm passed by directly.

In the pavilion, there was a girl sitting in a wheelchair... The girl's hair was also silver-gray, but dim and dull. It seemed more like it was because of dryness.

"Is this?" [Z] subconsciously approached the girl in the wheelchair and looked at her face.

However, the girl's eyes were actually dull.

"Gaia." [Cicero] came to [Z] and said slowly: "To be precise, it was Gaia on the eve of the destruction. At this time, Gaia was in a very bad physical condition and was not awake most of the time. But even so, the only time she had to wake up every day would ask for one thing."

"What."

"Wait for someone." [Cicero] whispered, "He is here."

[Z] Upon hearing this, he frowned, but seemed to feel his side. He turned around and saw a boy not far away... a boy was running quickly at this time.

The boy even held a book in his arms... He passed through [Z]'s body and suddenly came to the wheelchair girl.

She was originally lifeless, but suddenly she looked like a flash of cereus blooming faster. The girl's face instantly showed a hint of color.

Even though this is just a reflection, the entire courtyard seemed to have a different kind of vitality because of the appearance of this smile... A primitive [live] breath gradually spread.

The boy touched the girl's head affectionately, said something softly in the girl's ear, and then sat directly on the ground, opened the book in his hand, and began to read the contents of the book.

"For Miss Gaia, it is already her most precious and luxurious request to wait for his arrival every day and hear him telling something." [Cicero]'s voice was like the bell of an old bell tower, "On the eve of a destruction, she gave all her awake time to this young man."

"He is..." [Z] said in a trembling voice: "Me?"

The pavilion in front of me suddenly dispersed like clouds and smoke, and then gathered again... Another scene appeared again on the grass in the courtyard.

  …

  …

It was still the boy holding a book, and the other one was a man with long silver hair like [Cicero]. Perhaps this was the real Dr. Cicero because he looked more mature.

"You want to stop the development of [Eternal Power]? Why?"

"If this continues, Gaia will die!"

"The whole world is also facing destruction." The silver-haired man shook his head gently, "Your Highness, as the heir to the empire, I hope you can understand."

"Does we have to put the burden of the entire world on her... and we can only survive like vampires by absorbing her life?"

"It's not the burden of the world that is pressing on her, but fate chose her...she has such ability." The silver-haired man whispered softly again: "What's sad is that as humans, we have no way to separate her from this ability."

"Uncle Cicero...I beg you!"

"It's useless to ask me for your request." The man shook his head again, "This is Your Majesty's order, and no one can disobey Your Majesty's order."

The young man said furiously: "There is no so-called [eternal motivation] at all. All of this is just a lie... Your research has not made any progress at all! I all know... you, and the lies made up by your father, deceived the whole world!"

The silver-haired man sighed and said, "It is precisely because this is a lie that we need to continue to deceive. If it is necessary, even if we know it is a lie, we can only force ourselves to believe it."

"Extremely absurd!" the young man roared: "Cicero! I order you as the heir of the empire to stop extracting Gaia's bone marrow immediately, stop the research on [Eternal Power], and... announce the truth to the public!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

"I am the crown prince of the empire! I am the future emperor!"

"But you are not the emperor yet."

“One day…”

"Wait for you to have that day first." The silver-haired man looked at the weak boy in front of him and his voice was solemn: "If I can wait for the day when you become emperor... you must become the emperor of the empire!"

You must become the emperor of the empire!

  …

  …

The sound seemed to be still entangled in my ears, but the scene in front of me was changing again and the boy was still the same, and the other one was Miss Gamma.

The boy seemed to be a little mature... and his expression was mature.

They were standing on a high platform at this time, looking at something.

Miss Gama said: "Your Highness, Gaia has less and less time to wake up these days... She shouldn't wake up today, depending on the situation. Why don't you go back first?"

"Where can I go back to?" the young man smiled bitterly, "Do you go back to that cold palace... Do you know what the servants in the palace said? As long as you approach His Majesty, you will feel as if you accidentally fell into the extremely low cold, which makes people shudder."

"After all, His Majesty has too many things to worry about."

"I know, I know everything." The boy shook his head, "But I... am not the emperor yet."

"Your Highness..."

Suddenly, the boy reached out and grabbed Miss Gama's palm, pulled Miss Gama directly into his arms, and the boy actually invaded this mature body like a beast.

Until Miss Gama bit the boy's lips and pushed him away vigorously and raised his palm. She was about to slap the boy, but she raised her palm halfway, but she couldn't hit him in the end.

"Fight...or, in the future, you may not even have the chance to fight." The young man said quietly: "Anyway, in the eyes of my father, I am just a tool for mating now. From tomorrow onwards, a large number of women will be sent to me... You seem to be on the list, Sister Gamma."

But Gamma just held the torn collar tightly, and the half-upped palm finally gently stroked the boy's face, "Can you already feel the heavy weight that is pressing on Gaia? She is shouldering the illusory future of human beings, and what you want to carry is the continuation of human fire...Aren't you the same?"

“Gamma…”

"Don't be Gaia in your eyes." Gama lowered her head, "There are also many people waiting for you silently."

After saying that, she turned around and left, "If tomorrow is about to start, I hope that the first person you can choose is me, then... I... won't resist."

In other words, the novel app I have been using recently, [app  ] All support it on Android and Apple phones!

  …

  …

The smoke changed again...started from Miss Gamma who was far away.

Looking at Miss Gamma's gradually disappearing back, [Z]'s expression changed a little... He hesitated and asked, "This kind of emotion seems to be described as... like in human books?"

"Human books?" [Cicero] looked at [Z] in surprise, then nodded: "It seems that waking up after a long wait has caused you to lose too much... Of course, I have no right to say to you. After all, I am a purer rational structure than you."

【Z】But he shook his head, not only could he not agree or understand.

[Cicero] At this time, she said: "About Miss Gama, in my memory, her feelings for Your Highness may be stronger than her liking."

"Why?"

"Probably because she was instilled with the idea of ​​becoming the spouse of the heir of the empire since she was a child... She has been working hard for this goal."

【Z】I was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "What else can I show you."

"Don't worry." [Cicero] smiled slightly at this time: "There is a lot of time... I have some follow-ups about [Tomorrow], restricted level, do you want to watch it? It's guaranteed to be exciting!"

[Z] But he looked at [Cicero] in front of him with a expressionless face, "[Tomorrow], nothing happened, right?"

"How did you know?" [Cicero] couldn't help but look surprised.

[Z] said calmly: "From my observation of Gamma, she has no experience with mating, and has been learning this knowledge recently, which is enough to prove that it has not happened before. Also... mating is for the continuation of human beings, but the outside world has perished. In other words, it has not changed the fact that human beings are destroyed or, before there is time to proceed, destruction has arrived... In the end, is the real Dr. Cicero also so bad in his personality?"

"Probably when I was creating, there were some artistic processing ingredients?" [Cicero] smiled slightly, "Yes, [Tomorrow], it did not come. Destruction came earlier than anyone expected, and then caught everyone off guard. The extinction of the whole world began to appear in the air. A deadly substance began to appear in the air. In just one minute after inhalation, people would die. Even if they were wearing a ventilator, the subsequent catastrophes forced humans to the point where they could no longer survive."

"Then me?"

[Cicero] Wave again, and the dissipated fog condenses again.

[Z] At this time, I also saw the original Dr. Cicero again.

The boy looked much more haggard than before.

"Your Highness, have you really decided... You have to know that unless you can awaken Gaia again in the distant future, all this will become irreversible." The silver-haired man sighed and said, "You may be carrying the loneliness and despair of the whole world... loneliness may swallow you."

"Let's start." The young man said very directly: "At least, in the distant future, I still have hope of seeing her again. And..."

He looked at the boy, as if he had seen clearly what the boy was thinking at this time.

And the young man seemed to have not disappointed him, and said softly: "Uncle Cicero, you said that even if the world is destroyed and becomes nothingness, Gaia will still exist... Her consciousness will exist. But the world is gone, so I will no longer be there, right? This is the only way I can think of, in the worst case, and with her... Even if what is waiting for me is not known for how long it will take for me to sleep or how long it will be lonely. And aren't you planning this...the Survivor Plan. I can agree, maybe it is you and the father who are willing to see it."

"The glory of the empire is with you." The silver-haired man suddenly fell to his knees in front of the boy and said loudly: "The glory of civilization is with you...My Highness."

  …

  …

"This is why you exist." When the fog dissipated, [Cicero] said slowly: "Of course, after you were transformed, Your Majesty also ordered again to use you as a prototype to create multiple biochemical transformations in the [Z] series. However, the transformations did not survive the erosion of the world, and in the end they were only able to exist... I think part of this is probably due to Gaia's will."

"What's wrong with you?" [Z] asked coldly.

"Me?" [Cicero] looked stunned and then looked at himself.

I saw that its body had a little twist at this time... The projected body began to become unstable suddenly, and [Cicero] raised his head.

But at this moment, a hole suddenly broke through the sky in the courtyard, and then a big shadow fell from above.

Coax!

The sound of falling is extremely loud. You can imagine that the weight of the falling thing is not easy.

【Z】The eyes narrowed, and then he ran directly to the place where he fell, his dynamic vision was enough for him to catch the full picture of the falling object.
To be continued...
