Lucelia turned her head and looked.
It was Xia Daiti, whose face was covered with tears, who could not stop grieving and shedding tears in this sea of ​​sadness.
"We're together."
"Um!"
The two men held Arcana's arms tightly with their four hands, and pulled them upwards hard.
With Xia Daiti's joining, Alka finally stopped falling.
The power of the two men and Alka's falling force were in a stalemate.
But this state of affairs did not last long.
Xiadaiti and Lucilia's resistance was limited; the tide of sorrow was too great.
"hold head high!"
Alka's illusion was pressed against the outside, and on the other side there was also Xiadaiti leaning against it, with one hand holding its antlers.
Through a deeper connection, using illusion as a transition, he entered Alka's soul world.
With the loud cry of a deer, almost all the gold and silver in the soul crystal gushed out of the crystal.
The deer raised its head and looked at the scene.
Huan has no such permission.
This comes from Alka's most essential survival instinct.
The dragging of the two people made him temporarily regain a little bit of sanity.
Gold and silver energies intertwined like beams of light and smashed down fiercely.
It enveloped all the areas around Alka.
It was like a golden and silver beam of light rising into the sky.
Alka, who had been completely swept away by the tide of sadness, had one hand held.
The body is swaying in the tide of sadness.
The energy of gold and silver surged in.
Lighting up the tide of sadness that everyone is in, the nature of the tide has not changed.
The energy of gold and silver is unlikely to play a big role in such a spiritual world.
But this energy seemed to awaken something. The huge amount of energy gathered together and finally made some noise.
"Pain...pain...death...death...it hurts so much..."
The heavy wail of agony and death echoed throughout the tide of sorrow.
That is the most essential sound of the soul. It does not need to be expressed in any words. Just the sound itself can allow everyone to understand very clearly and accurately what the sound wants to express.
But at the same time, the sorrow and grief that had deeply affected everyone and filled the entire ocean suddenly disappeared.
Everything happened too suddenly, but there was no time to think too much about it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucilia and Xiadaiti grabbed Alka's hands and dragged him out of the sea.
Alka, who was dragged out, woke up instantly, opened his eyes, and gasped.
It was like a drowning person suddenly regaining his breath.
He immediately understood the scene around him.
After seeing the two people, he hugged one in each hand and rushed out.
Out of the range touched by the tide.
Looking back at the place illuminated by the beam of light formed by the convergence of gold and silver energies in the tide of sadness.
On the dark and silent sea, only that spot of light appeared, which seemed to connect to a deeper place.
The wailing sound of the soul is still there, uttering the painful low murmur, and that sound of the soul is so pleasant to the ears.
Although I have nothing to do with them, I can still empathize with them when listening to them, as if they were my closest relatives.
Lucelia couldn't stand it anymore and turned her head away.
If she watched and heard it any longer, she would be unable to resist going over.
"I will...I will bring you death...or save you, I promise."
After saying this, Alka controlled himself and disconnected the link.
In the dream bubble, the deer head mask on Alka's face fell off as he was buried in the snow.
The moment the mask fell off.
The tide of sadness in Alka's soul quickly dissipated and disappeared.
Alka's soul world returned to its original state once again.
The link was disconnected the moment it returned to normal.
Lucilia and Xiadaiti, who were in Alka's soul, disappeared into space and returned to the outside world.
Alka opened his eyes in the dream world.
He suddenly stood up and emerged from the snow pile.
Lucelia emerged from his body.
Xia Daiti, who was leaning on the deer next to him, also woke up.
Lucelia came out and looked at Alka.
Xia Daiti also stood up.
Alka smiled at the two of them and said, "Thank you... um..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Daiti took a step forward and punched Alka in the stomach.
The sudden strong blow made Alka groan and arch his waist.
Xia Daiti took a step forward and held Alka in his arms.
"Uh..." Lucilia, who was watching nearby, twisted her face. Looking at Alka's expression, she knew how painful the punch was.
It was a heavy blow, but Lucelia thought he should be hit again.
"Do you know how worried we are about you? What did you do in your dream?" Xiadaiti, who was holding Alka, asked sternly.
"Well... I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, I'm sorry." Alka covered his stomach, squinted his eyes, and said while trying to endure the pain.
"So what is the situation, what is going on with that ocean of sadness in your soul?"
Lucelia asked from the side. What puzzled her most was that he had never figured out what had caused Alka to become like this.
The culprit is the sea of ​​sorrow and grief in his soul space.
However, even when they finally pulled Alka out of the sea, she still didn't find out what the reason was.
I couldn't find any reason, so I could only ask Alka myself.
During this process, the only thing she felt was sadness and pain. Uncomfortable emotions flooded into her brain crazily.
The most important thing is that she can empathize with them. The pain and suffering seem as if they have experienced it themselves. It is so real.
And the Primarch who suffered this pain seemed to be closely related to them.
I didn't intend to cry, but tears just flowed down unconsciously.
Xia Daiti also stood by and watched him.
At this time, the snow in the sky had long disappeared, and the snow on the ground quickly melted the moment Alka woke up.
The dream creatures that lingered in various places came back to life and moved around in Alka's dream world.
Alka listened to Lucilia's question and looked at Xiadeti.
"Let's go out and talk to them. I..."
Seeing that Alka didn't know how to start, Xiadaiti stopped forcing her and nodded.
He and Lucelia quickly returned to their dreams and woke up.
…
"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me. How can I help you if you don't say anything?"
Jason on the deck asked, looking at the crystal dragon in front of him.
At this time, the crystal dragon was as big as a normal human, not counting the long and thin tail and the wings folded on her body.
Just the torso is as big as Jason's.
But the crystal dragon didn't seem to be in a good condition at this time. It was abnormally lethargic. It curled up on the deck and just looked at the ocean beside it quietly, not knowing what it was thinking.
Even when Jason asked her, she remained silent.
She hasn't said a word since she woke up and walked out of the deck.
"Jason, let her be quiet. She seems to be in a bad mood. Maybe she needs to calm down on her own."
Julia seemed to notice something and said.
Hearing this, Jason nodded, looked at the crystal dragon next to him worriedly, and could only sigh and sit down beside the flower bed.
Looking at Xia Daiti lying on the carpet and the doll next to him.
Sighed.
"Oh, what are these things?"
"Um……"
There was a sound on the carpet.
The people nearby quickly looked over and saw Xia Daiti open his eyes and crawl up, and Lucillia next to him also woke up.
"How is it? Is it successful? I don't feel sad anymore." Jason asked.
Xia Daiti nodded.
At this time, the sound of a door opening was heard from the stern deck, and everyone looked over.
I saw Alka walking towards me, shaking his head.
Seeing that Alka seemed to be fine, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But to make sure there was no problem, Matlisa swam over, wagging her tail.
He placed his hand on Alka's shoulder, checking on his condition.
"Except for poor mental health, no other abnormalities were found."
"Thank you." Alka nodded.
"So what did you do in your dream to cause such a big noise?" Jason asked curiously.
This time, the noise Alka made was extremely exaggerated, affecting almost everyone on the ship.
They could feel the sudden grief very clearly, and even the control over their own emotions had no effect at all.
I could only let the tears flow. The sadness that overwhelmed my heart made me feel powerless and extremely uncomfortable.
The sorrow is unforgettable and heart-wrenching.
Looking at everyone's inquiring eyes, Alka just sat on the wooden stairs.
"Huh..." He exhaled slowly.
A mirror appeared beside him and he walked out of the mirror.
As Huan walked, a clear bell rang.
After coming out, this fantastic creature that didn't seem to exist in reality came to Alka and lay down next to him.
Alka stroked its head and spoke.
“At first I was just planning my future path and everything was normal.
Until I simulated Mirmi, the bloody mist deer that we were dragged into the dream before. "
"How dare you simulate that thing casually?" Simon said in surprise.
Looking at the looks in everyone's eyes, Alka knew that they had misunderstood.
He explained, "I'm not simulating him turning into a monster. I told you before that the blood-red state means there is something wrong. I'm simulating him as he was before.
This is what Huan looks like when he grows up. As you know, I used treasures to turn it into a trophy, and also obtained related memory fragments.
So I was able to simulate it almost perfectly.”
After hearing this explanation, everyone nodded, and then looked at the huge dream fog deer lying next to Alka.
Under normal circumstances, it is indeed a very dreamy and positive creature.
"Then what?"
“When I simulated it, everything went well and I simulated it smoothly.”
"The problem lies in a problem that I have never thought of. Even if I were to do it again, carefully and consider every aspect, I would never be able to think of it."
After hearing this, everyone found a seat nearby and sat down, listening quietly.
They were very curious.
After all, they had all experienced what happened just now, it was really too exaggerated.
Especially the feeling of grief, which made them very concerned. I don't know why, it seemed as if the grief made them unable to think too much.
It feels like... a loved one is suffering.
Even when they thought about it, they couldn't help but feel extremely sorry and wanted to help comfort them.
This made them wonder.
"You know that this world was broken and then put back together, right?"
Everyone nodded. Alka and his companions learned about this from the church when they left their home sea.
As a mechanic, Simon had already known this in such an enlightened sea area.
As for Matlisa, there are records of her race going back generations.
Such major events are recorded almost everywhere and cannot be concealed even if you want to.
On the contrary, there are few records of events before this.
Seeing everyone nod, Alka continued.
"Then do you know that after putting the pieces together, she is still alive?" At this point, Alka's face couldn't help but become sad again.
After hearing this, no one reacted. Instead, the crystal dragon that had been looking at the sea suddenly turned around and then walked over slowly.
He walked over to Jason and lay down.
"Hmm? Do you want to listen too?" Jason looked at her and said.
Urulius nodded.
"Still alive...what does that mean?" Julia asked with a heavy face, she thought of something.
As a protector of the environment, she was extremely sensitive to this thing, and the sadness just now had made her very concerned.
Speaking of this, she already had very bad thoughts.
Alka looked at everyone with a serious expression.
He spoke slowly: “Literally… the world has always been alive, and she nurtures everything in her.
However, the coming of the God War caused the world to be broken, but it was put back together again under the manipulation of some gods. "
It is very obvious who some gods are, but it is obviously outrageous to say it out loud at this time.
"I should have fallen into a world of death, but I managed to survive.
But, that was... in a state of being torn into pieces and forcefully stuck together, barely surviving."
"Oh my God." Julia couldn't help but wail when she heard this.
As a protector of the environment, she could relate to the situation, and with Alka's explanation, she recalled the sadness she had just felt.
“It’s like a normal life that has been broken into pieces, but has been put back together again because of an inexplicable force and manipulation of the pieces.
I have to endure this pain again, and it will continue to hurt forever.
The scars of such destruction are so exaggerated and unbearable that the rules of the world have long been disrupted. Even if the gods try their best to maintain them, it is still useless. "
These words made everyone present frown, this information coupled with the sorrow they had just experienced .
A feeling of suffocation came over them.
They didn't know how to breathe for a moment.
Because it is the islands beneath their feet, the oceans beneath their feet, and the world they live in that are causing them so much pain.
Now think carefully about the four worlds divided by God...
Stop the thought.
"But...but the Daughter of Life said that they are powerless and can only let the world heal itself. As time goes by, the world will heal itself."
Julia said with a sad look on her face, obviously she knew more.
With Alka's explanation, some things could be explained when she recalled her past.
Alka looked at her and took a deep breath.
"But the spirit of the world already exists, it just hasn't fully awakened yet. This kind of pain makes her wish to die."
Then Alka stopped digging and continued, “And the Mirmi I simulated is the natural spirit of the spiritual world, and his duty is to repair the world.
As natural spirits, they are born with the ability to connect with the world. They feel the pain of the world and have natural resistance because they are born from the world. "
“But when I simulated it, I naturally gained the power equal to it… and then, the moment the power became mine.
I naturally connected to the world...sorrow and pain overwhelmed me, and that sorrow and pain was like the sea."
At this point, Alka was silent.
Everyone naturally understood why the situation had turned out like this.
At this time, Julia's lower body turned into her fish tail again, and the water flow wrapped around the fish tail, lifting her up.
Alka looked at Julia who had come in front of him and gave her a questioning look.
Julia stretched out her hand and said, "Can I personally bear the sorrow of the world?"
Alka looked at her, at Julia's determined eyes.
She seemed determined to experience it.
"Are you sure?"
"Um."
Since it was like this, Alka naturally didn't say anything more. He silently raised his hand and held her palm.
The mirror surface appeared on Alka's face, Mirmi's figure appeared in the mirror, and then the mirror surface began to change.
It quickly changed into the previous deer head mask.
But this time Alka already had experience, and he would not rashly establish a connection with the world directly.
He dug out some power control techniques from the memory fragments.
Use your insights to connect with others.
A white mist of plant thorns spread from Alka's hand.
It wrapped around his arm and all the way around Julia's hand.
As the thorns wrapped around his hands, the sharp spikes on the thorns pierced into the skin of the two men.
"Here it comes." Alka closed his eyes.
A tide of pain and sorrow passed through the thorns.
It instantly rushed into Julia's mind.
“Ahhh…”
Julia's eyes widened in an instant and she wailed in pain. Veins on her face were throbbing and blood vessels spread from her face through her neck.
The skin on his body immediately turned slightly red.
Fine scales appear behind the ears, on the cheeks, eye sockets, and on the collarbone.
The coin that was originally printed on her hand floated out, and the coin turned over, with the skull side appearing on the front.
A bloody aura began to surge out, regaining the upper hand.
After the pain, Julia's tears flowed from her eyes.
The tears gradually changed from blue water to blood-colored tears.
"Let go, Alka! She can't bear it anymore!" Mathilda shouted beside her.
Alka shook her head: "No, it's not that I won't let go, but she still wants to bear it."
“……”Everyone fell silent.
After all, they have been together for so many years, and they already have a certain understanding of Julia.
Although Julia sometimes doesn't say much, she often fixes the situation when she can.
Especially when leaving the home sea, crossing the forward channel and coming to the boundless ocean.
Julia can be seen feeling depressed at times as she is powerless to fix the situation around her.
This had been her responsibility for hundreds of years, but now she no longer had the strength to fulfill it.
So her strength increased very quickly, and she was the most serious and hardworking among everyone.
Her upbringing, her education, her beliefs.
They are all giving for this world.
After The Expanse she spent more time trying to understand her surroundings, what went wrong, and how to change it.
But now Alka told her that the world would rather die and be destroyed than endure such pain again.
This made her entire worldview collapse and her faith shattered.
Although people do not quite understand the teachings of the Seed of Life, protecting the environment is mainly about protecting life.
Certain doctrines were the opposite of what she now knew.
She was told to protect the world, and she did so for hundreds of years.
However, the truth is that the world would rather die, and that kind of pain comes from them.
"The favor of life is slipping away from her. She is abandoning the teachings. She is spitting on life. She is going to... abandon the teachings."
Simon stood next to Julia.
Said quietly.
