Chapter seven hundred and thirty fifth singing under the stars
What is there under the sea?
Is it worth asking Lamia Labrese, the right-hand man of Speaker Finale, to personally take action and sit here, waiting for the moment when something like that breaks out of the egg?
A glimmer of inquiry flashed through the black-haired boy's eyes.
After all, the reason why he was able to successfully find his lost sister in countless worlds due to the Emperor Lelouch V. Britannia was because he was hidden under the sea by the Final Council.
thing.
"Speaking of which, MR.K, you have already accomplished one of your original goals."
Turning around and staring at the calm sea, Lamia's voice was extremely cold.
"Yeah! Yes. Thanks to the help of the council, I was able to reunite with my sister, Nunnally."
The black-haired boy did not hesitate to express his gratitude to the Final Council and constantly praised the woman in front of him who was the speaker's right-hand man.
"You are indeed not that Emperor. Although your identity, appearance, and genes are exactly the same, your growth environment is different. Perhaps this is the reason why the previous emperor was killed by you."
For some reason, as Lamia's cold voice sounded, a chill ran down the black-haired boy's back.
The other party seems to be testing him!!
The woman in front of me,
No,
no!
It was the man standing behind the woman in front of him who was testing him!
The Speaker who controls the Final Council is testing him!
Although it is a bit unexpected, it is reasonable.
Ever since the black-haired boy killed "himself" with his own hands, inherited everything from him, braved that road alone with a fearless attitude, and stood in the Final Council in the name of the emperor, the black-haired boy has
Know that this day will come.
However, he did not expect that the Speaker would tolerate it until he and Nunnally got together before he started to attack.
"No! No matter what the reason is, between me and Emperor Lelouch, only one can survive. This is a fact that cannot be changed from the beginning. I believe that the speaker who recommended that path to Emperor Lelouch also
Very clear.”
The counterattack unfolded quietly.
That path.
The path that leads to killing "oneself" in many parallel universes and seizing the power of "oneself" was personally recommended to Emperor Lelouch by the Speaker of the Final Council.
This is something Lamia cannot deny or refute.
Under such irrefutable evidence, Lamia fell silent.
"Thinking about it, it may not be safe over there in Gallarhorn. MISS.L. I wonder if I can bring Nunnally over, um, and place her here together with the target's fiancée."
Accept as soon as you see fit.
The black-haired boy did not push Lamia too much, but instead gave in and assumed a posture of obeying the speaker.
This step made Lamia nod happily.
"Okay! We have a safe spot right near here. Not only your sister and the target's fiancée, but also your partners should call over! There is enough protection for them there."
"Thank you so much!"
North of Oceania.
The city that had completely retreated from the ancient disaster and calmed the war was still in a tense and orderly atmosphere of preparations for war.
The defeat of the ancient calamity ritual is obvious to all.
But no one dared to believe that the ancient calamity would be a retreat that would never return.
Humanity has only won the first battle since the resurrection of the ancient calamity.
And this first victory was largely due to the steel lion that came in midway and independently faced most of the power of the ancient calamity in this city.
At this moment, the Gallarhorn soldiers who had just witnessed the defeat of the ancient calamity had to say goodbye to the Iron Lion who had left Carpentaria and headed south alone.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed since Longtooth Lion Zero left Carpentaria alone and headed south towards the giant pit.
As the Longtooth Lion Zero penetrates deeper and deeper into the interior of Oceania, the situation gradually becomes what Lei Mingkai predicted.
In the interior of Oceania, signs of ancient evil events are becoming more and more frequent.
From being vaguely visible, to being seen everywhere, to being unavoidable, the only way to break through the siege of the wandering troops set by the ancient calamity ritual is through combat.
In less than a day, the Longtooth Lion Type Zero fought no less than ten times with those ancient evil spirits wandering in the interior of Oceania.
Even though those stragglers were just a drop in the bucket to the Long-tusked Lion Zero, they couldn't help but appear frequently, making the Long-tusked Lion Zero extremely annoyed and annoyed.
The original plan of Longtooth Lion Zero was to use the maximum speed of the blast equipment to move as straight as possible southward, trying to rush to the edge of the giant pit in the shortest possible time.
"Tch! Kai. Is there any other way? These flies are very annoying!"
Taking advantage of the nearby stragglers who hadn't noticed the movement for a while, Zero took advantage of the moment and asked Lei Mingkai to choose a new path.
"There is a way! But, you still have to walk on water again."
Lei Mingkai's method is naturally simple.
Since Type Zero was annoyed by the ancient disasters all over the interior, he went directly east to the seaside and went south along the coastline, thereby avoiding the ancient disasters wandering inside.
Just, this way...
Some of Lei Mingkai's plans are about to come to nothing.
"Treading water? Kai, didn't you bastard just want to attract the enemy's attention in the first place?"
Zero-type was stunned for a moment, then immediately dispelled Lei Mingkai's idea.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zero immediately reacted.
"Ouch! Kai, are you looking for fun with me?"
"No! You said that yourself."
At the beginning, Lei Mingkai really wanted to attract the attention of the Ancient Calamity Festival as much as possible and attract all the surrounding soldiers, thereby creating loopholes in the ancient Calamity Catalyst's military network distributed on this continent.
Behind this level of intention, there are deeper thoughts.
If these ancient calamities are really causing trouble around or even inside the giant pit as I guessed, they will definitely not ignore the enemy who is swaggering across the entire continent and rushing straight towards the giant pit.
.
"I was just complaining! Complaining!!"
As soon as the Zero's holographic image appeared, it pounced on Lei Mingkai's arm and started biting it.
Unfortunately, although the holographic image looked very realistic, it could not cause any harm to Lei Mingkai.
At most, I just think the Type Zero looks really vicious.
Suddenly, Lei Mingkai and Zero looked to the left together.
There, it happened to be in the direction of the huge crater that swallowed up a corner of Oceania.
"Something's wrong!"
The Zero's holographic image suddenly began to shake, as if it had been disturbed by something.
However, Type Zero's holographic image is not transmitted over long distances, but is generated within its own body.
Logically speaking, there will be no interference at all.
"Walk!"
As the holographic image of Type Zero shook more and more, Lei Mingkai felt an increasingly strong sense of urgency that his speculation might come true.
What happened to that giant pit?
Rays of illusive and dreamlike light and shadow descended from the void, covering the sea like a veil, which was really beautiful.
"That is?"
This sudden light and shadow made the black-haired boy Lelouch frown slightly.
He seemed surprised by the sudden scene.
"The time may have come!"
Lamia, who was standing next to her, said softly.
There seemed to be a hint of exclamation in his words.
At the same time, her eyes were slightly fascinated as she looked at the dreamy light and shadow falling from the void.
With the emergence of light and shadow, the sky covering the sea gradually turned into a bright starry sky with twinkling stars.
On top of the ever-changing light and shadow like a fluttering veil, the starry sky seemed to have begun to change.
Lelouch looked away from the light and shadow, staring at the changed starry sky.
At the beginning, relying on the knowledge Lelouch had gained from reading books about the starry sky when he was young, he could easily identify every familiar figure in the starry sky above his head and on the sea.
constellation.
However, before he could identify half of the constellations, the starry sky suddenly changed.
In the blink of an eye, the starry sky that Lelouch was once familiar with suddenly became distorted, and the spectacular constellations were suddenly distorted and shattered by some mysterious force, completely losing their original appearance.
At this moment, the starry sky Lelouch was staring at could already be described with the word "destruction".
"MR.K. Look carefully! This is one of the truths of our Final Council. This is a secret that the former emperor never knew."
As the starry sky was distorted, Lamia's voice sounded again, causing Lelouch's thoughts to suddenly pause, and then start running wildly again.
Could it be said that under such a coincidence, Lelouch, who inherited the name MR.K from the emperor, finally took a step that the emperor never took?
Lelouch's eyes became more focused, and his energy became more concentrated as the familiar constellations were broken.
Pegasus, Andromeda, Scorpio and other zodiac constellations that the world is familiar with have been broken one after another.
The starlight scattered after these constellations were broken magically stayed in the twisted starry sky, never dissipating or leaving, as if waiting for something.
The starry sky was constantly distorting, to a point that even Lelouch had never imagined.
At the moment of extreme distortion, Lelouch even came to the realization that the moment that happened in front of him was not really visible, but was most likely something that only happened in a dream.
"Click..."
Suddenly, a sound like a cassette suddenly sounded, and the distorted starry sky paused.
Immediately afterwards, as if hearing some kind of call, the starlights that stayed in the distorted starry sky drew magnificent and wonderful trajectories one after another, driving the starry sky that had been distorted to the extreme to start moving again.
The stars are bright and the stars are changing.
Lelouch, who kept moving his eyes along with those stars, was shocked when the first constellation appeared in the starry sky again, and he was shocked to realize that the starry sky that appeared in front of him was no longer the starry sky that he was familiar with.
Rather, it is a new starry sky that is strange and full of unknowns.
"This is?"
The cautious Lelouch did not show his surprise, but asked the question to Lamia.
"I have no idea."
What surprised Lelouch was that Lamia admitted that she was just like him and knew nothing about this strange starry sky.
"MISS.L, you don't know this starry sky either?"
"Yes. I don't know about this starry sky. To be more precise, I have no idea about the appearance of this starry sky. This... is just a plan created by the Speaker, I...
I...I...is just an executor."
Lelouch gradually got used to Lamia's weird self-identification from time to time, but that was not the key at the moment.
What's more, the current doubts have not been solved yet, and new questions are coming one after another.
"La... la la..."
At the moment when the last unfamiliar constellation was completely revealed, the distorted starry sky also appeared in front of Lelouch with a new look under the pull of some kind of force. The strange sea surface shrouded in light, shadow and starlight
become reborn.
mirror···
At some point, the sea surface turned into a mirror-like flat surface, no longer the same as before with the ebb and flow of the tides and the endless sound of waves.
And in the center of this vast and boundless mirror, where Lelouch couldn't see clearly even if he squinted his eyes, a looming figure suddenly appeared there.
"There is a person there?!"
Lelouch subconsciously touched his pocket, but suddenly stopped.
"If you want to see it, MR.K, go and see it boldly! Maybe, this is the only opportunity that will allow you to see His true face with your own eyes."
"Him?!"
Lelouch was keenly aware of the difference in the terms of address used by Lamia.
"Yes. Him!"
Lamia smiled softly and stopped telling any more information about this "Him".
After thinking about it, Lelouch's right hand moved again, taking out the electronic telescope from his pocket. After taking a deep breath, he decisively placed it in front of his eyes, adjusting the magnification while looking towards
That figure appeared in the center of the mirror.
The long gray hair gently rests on the weak shoulders,
Underneath the long gray hair is a pretty face that seems to be immersed in a wonderful dream.
Sewn with pure white soft gauze, the long skirt is embellished with mysterious golden lines on the neckline and cuffs, wrapping the slender body in it.
"Woman?! Him?!"
The electronic telescope in his hand adjusted the magnification over and over again so that Lelouch could clearly see the figure that appeared in the center of the mirror.
But the more he observed, the more mysteries appeared in Lelouch's mind.
No matter how you look at the girl who appears in the center of the mirror, she doesn't look like a human being with clear self-awareness and able to move freely.
Rather, it was Him.
It is worse to say that she is just a girl whose life and death are unknown.
What made Lelouch even more surprised was that the singing sound that gradually resounded throughout the world really came from the direction where the girl was.
"Annai. Annai Anifal. This is His identity when he walks in the world. And this song is the song that guides lost travelers back to the destination of their souls."
