"Goodbye, everyone," Paddo said with a smile after a moment of silence.
Goodbye, Paddy.
Although there were many things they wanted to say to Paddo, Alicia and the others only said a brief farewell at this moment.
Perhaps this parting will be forever.
But Alicia and the heroes, and billions of people on Earth, will never forget the help Paddo provided.
Pado pressed the control panel to activate the parallel world shuttle.
“5、4、3、2、1”
"start up!"
A flash of light appeared.
But what puzzled Alicia and the others was why Padofelis was still in the same place.
"Whoa? Who are you guys?!" [Pado] suddenly turned around and was startled when she saw Alicia and the others.
"You?" Alicia and the others were stunned.
"Dear bosses, brothers and sisters, big brothers and big sisters, I'm just a petty thief, please have mercy and let me go?" [Pado], who was being stared at by a group of people who looked powerful and influential, almost had her legs go weak.
“Our world’s…Paddo,” Mei pushed up her glasses and speculated.
"Huh?" The Pathophilis of this world was very confused. What does Pathophilis mean in our world?
Another world line
"Sia, Pado is back," Muirse said as she approached Alicia.
After bringing one world line to a perfect ending, Alicia smiled, having fulfilled her wish.
"Okay, then we should get going."
Alicia gazed at the enormous pink crystal flower in space, a colossal ship with Earth at its core, capable of traversing between universes.
"Shall we set sail?"
Interlude 510 (41)
A giant spaceship, resembling a pink crystal flower, flew out of the Tree Sea Universe.
This spaceship, named "Paradise of Love and Flowers," was built by Alicia and her retinue over a long period of time to leave the Aokigahara Universe.
However, although her original destination was another universe far away, Alicia would always suddenly want to do something while passing through each universe.
"No! Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
Muirse and Emilia desperately held onto Alicia.
Why?
Alicia glared angrily at her two best friends.
Muirsay said helplessly.
"While I understand your desire to save humanity, you can't just swim in a cesspool!"
"We cannot save every suffering human being in every universe. If those beings do not choose to save themselves, they will perish immediately after we leave."
Alicia nodded, then spoke slowly.
"I know"
"But at least, I can save those I see and give hope to humanity in its suffering. If humanity extinguishes that hope itself, then their demise is their choice. If humanity values that hope, then they will surely be able to emerge from the darkness!"
"The humans I love are always the shining humans, aren't they?"
Muirse glanced at Emilia beside her. The latter didn't say much, just smiled faintly, but clearly supported Alicia's idea.
Muirse didn't really have any objection to rescuing humans who happened to be passing through the universe, but she didn't want to be a babysitter. Humans who were unwilling to save themselves didn't need to be saved at all.
"However, whatever you do, don't go into those cesspool universes."
Muirsey had no choice but to say so.
"But weren't those harsh environments in the universe also caused by humans?"
"Anyway, don't go in! Those universes are too disgusting!"
"Yes, yes, I'm not going in?"
While Alicia is unaffected by the harsh environments of the universe, that's all she is – she is simply unaffected.
Once you become too deeply involved in those suffering universes, it's difficult to extricate yourself. If the beings are hostile and malicious, then of course you can kill them indiscriminately. But if those humans deep in suffering are rescued, can we really watch these people who have seen light and hope fall back into the abyss of despair?
Rather than doing that, it's better not to get too involved in the first place.
However, Alicia and her companions encountered quite a few hostile universes during their voyage.
"Miao Miao, why is Earth in this universe shrouded in all sorts of strange and special spaces?"
Alicia sees a universe where Earth's humans are shrouded in strange rules, and a small number of people are captured and forced to do anything to survive.
"Most of it is just amusement created by some inferior civilization."
Muirsey knew what was going on after just a few glances. In her eyes, the difference between advanced and under-advanced civilizations in the universe was not determined by their technological level, but by their level of civilization and morality.
In most cases, advanced civilizations have a high level of civilization and morality, which is why they also have a high level of technology.
However, there are always exceptions. Sometimes, a civilization may develop to a high level due to certain specific circumstances, but its level of civilization and morality may remain almost stagnant. Such a civilization is an inferior civilization and will eventually self-destruct.
Such civilizations often find themselves constantly looking for things to do to relieve internal pressure, and unfortunately, humanity on Earth in this universe has been used as a source of amusement by this inferior civilization.
"MiuMiu, please help me!"
Alicia held Muirses's hand and pleaded pitifully about the suffering caused by the alien life.
It wasn't that Alicia didn't want to save people herself; the problem was that her authority was too strong, and she couldn't fully control it. So she could only ask Muels or Emilia for help.
"Yes, yes, yes," Muels nodded perfunctorily, then took Alicia's hand and used her authority to add a glimmer of hope to this universe, allowing those who struggled to survive and constantly encouraged others to live to receive the treatment of a chosen protagonist for a certain period of time.
If Muirse hadn't intervened, these chosen protagonists would have eventually defeated the inferior civilizations that were trying to amuse themselves. But Muirse accelerated this process, allowing more people who chose to save themselves to survive.
"Wow! Earth in this universe is being invaded by aliens!"
"...You're wrong. It was Earth's human civilization that invaded other alien civilizations first. However, after the war, those humans with ideals will lead Earth's civilization to a better future."
"Mimi? This universe is so strange. How come it's filled with all sorts of bizarre and contradictory rules?"
"What? This universe... how come it has so many messy rules?! How was this universe born? Aimei, help!"
"Mimi?...Human civilization in this universe was wiped out by an alien civilization?! How come all these humans were transformed into all sorts of disgusting and grotesque creatures?! Mimi! I'm angry!"
"Tsk, another low-level civilization, interstellar nomads, huh? Anyway, this low-level civilization is doomed to perish eventually. Let's contact everyone! Let's wipe out this low-level civilization first!"
Alicia and her friends saw many universes. In most universes, the humans were just ordinary people. There were also utopian universes with humans who had a high level of civilization and morality, but there were also universes with almost no morality.
The latter two are not numerous, but overall, there are more universes filled with suffering than those filled with light.
Of course, if Alicia sees any extinct human civilizations during this time, she will also cast a hope in order to revive them.
As for inferior civilizations filled with pure malice, Alicia certainly wouldn't hold back either.
"Mimi? How come this universe is like this? There are so many malicious emotional beings? Huh? There's a golden thing blocking the latrine on Earth? Wait, are there other Herrschers' relics left behind? Should we go check them out?"
"Hiss, don't go! Sia, let's abandon this last hope and leave! Forget about it, this is a cesspool within a cesspool, run!!"
"But that golden figure seems to be calling for help?"
"Don't listen! Don't listen! I've already told you not to try swimming in a cesspool!"
Muirse grabbed Alicia and quickly ran away from that cesspool universe.
After a long journey, Alicia and her companions finally arrived in the universe where the other Herrschers of Essence reside.
Upon entering this universe, Alicia discovered that all the other Herrschers of Essence were huddled in the same place.
Actually, there's nowhere else but the solar system.
"Why do aliens seem to like heading towards our solar system so much?"
After witnessing the arrival of the 13th wave of aliens in the solar system, the human astronauts on Earth's outer space station were speechless once again.
9: pm
After typing the last character, Li Geng let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Then, with a push of his hand, he fell backward, tilting his head back and lying on the chair like a salted fish.
After lying around like a couch potato for a while, Li Geng turned off his work computer and walked out of the company, looking somewhat tired.
He's been working so much overtime these past few days that he's exhausted, but thankfully the overtime pay is good, and his colleagues say that things will be much less hectic after this period of overtime.
Shanghai's nightlife is vibrant, with dazzling lights and bustling activity that can be overwhelming. However, none of that mattered to Li Geng, who was walking home. He skillfully pulled out his earphones.
I put on my headphones, I don't care about anyone, the world is irrelevant to me.
Although he has lived in Shanghai for many years, Li Geng has hardly ever traveled around the city. His life has always been a very monotonous routine between two points.
As Li Geng was walking down the street, he suddenly looked up on a whim and saw what appeared to be a pink crystal flower in the night sky.
But in the blink of an eye, the crystal flowers in the sky disappeared again, as if it were an illusion.
Li Geng didn't pay any attention to it and continued walking home.
However, he hadn't walked more than a few steps when a gorgeous pink supercar suddenly drove up behind him. Even in the bustling city of Shanghai, it seemed that such a beautiful and luxurious pink supercar had never appeared before, attracting a lot of attention.
The red light at the intersection turned on, and Li Geng, who was about to cross the road, stopped. The pink sports car also stopped.
Li Geng, engrossed in music with his headphones on, was completely unaware that the window of the pink supercar parked next to him slowly rolled down, and the black-haired girl wearing sunglasses in the driver's seat looked over.
Passersby on the street were all attracted by her appearance.
However, some people, with their keen eye, lowered their heads and remained silent after just one glance. They were so beautiful that they seemed like girls from another world, and were definitely not people you could approach.
But some people were about to go up and talk to them, but the next second, they suddenly forgot who they were looking for and wandered off to other places without anyone noticing anything amiss.
"You see it?" Sirin asked with a slight smile from the passenger seat of the pink supercar.
“Very ordinary,” Alicia, disguised, gripped the steering wheel, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
"So what do you think he should be like?" Sirin looked at Alicia with a curious expression.
“…I don’t know,” Alicia replied after a moment of silence.
She truly didn't know what the person who had caused countless tragedies and deaths in so many worlds looked like. In fact, Alicia had considered many possibilities, but it turned out to be a very ordinary-looking person.
Sirin looked up at Alicia with her head slightly raised, her golden eyes bright and dazzling.
What do you plan to do to him?
"..."
Alicia remained silent; she didn't know what to do.
Have I truly let go? I don't know.
Want revenge? I don't know.
Alicia couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Okay, stop thinking about it, it's time to go. Take me back to the flower shop."
"Um"
Sirin didn't try to comfort Alicia, and in fact, she didn't need to; Alicia would figure it out herself soon enough.
The traffic light at the intersection turned green. Alicia lightly pressed the accelerator, and the sports car emitted a soft engine sound before passing Li Geng, who was crossing the intersection.
At the entrance of the flower shop, Sirin, now fully disguised, stepped out of the sports car and waved goodbye to Alicia.
However, Sirin suddenly noticed that Alicia had not left, but instead drove her sports car into the garage of a small villa across from the flower shop.
"?"
Noticing the questioning look in Celine's eyes, Alicia smiled, took out a bunch of keys, and then walked into the small villa.
"..." Sirin puffed out her cheeks. She didn't know what Alicia was planning, but she was sure it wasn't without some good ideas.
"Hmph!" she snorted softly.
After a while,
Li Geng yawned as he walked to the flower shop, but seeing that it seemed to be closed, he didn't think much of it and continued walking back to his rented room.
