Vol 15 Chapter 11 ending episode
What is this dark cloud? He Shenyan thought.
Cthulhu? No, not at all. There is no divine presence in her, and no desire for destruction.
Her need for those memories full of resentment and pain is more like an instinct, just like people want to drink water when they are thirsty, but even if she absorbed so many negative emotions, He Shenyan didn’t feel it from her. Go crazy.
On the contrary, after she absorbed the brains and memories of the first-generation Star Child, He Shenyan actually caught a trace of pity from the emotions that spilled out of the air.
The dark cloud pity them.
She blocked the entire planet so that the Star Children could not leave. Although it is true that the planet’s environment is destroyed by themselves, but…
mercy?
He Shenyan raised his hand, his mental tentacles extended from the ground to the sky, and lightly touched the dark clouds. The thick dark cloud that swept the entire sky immediately reacted accordingly, but it was not an attack. A flower was separated from her huge cloud covering the sky and landed directly in front of the mage.
The creature stared at him for a while before gradually changing its form. From a cloud to a human form. The face is very similar to that of He Shenyan, but there are some differences in some minor details, and it is being adjusted.
“You know, in our culture, this is usually considered provocative.” He Shenyan raised an eyebrow. “So you have intelligence?”
“I don’t understand what provocative means, but it doesn’t seem like a good word.”
Yun Duo tilted her head and thought for a while, her expression very puzzled. He Shenyan had to admit that it was weird enough to look at his face to make such an expression. Fortunately, this weird scene didn’t last long, and the clouds quickly changed shape. The human body is still retained, but the face has simply disappeared.
A faceless man stood opposite him.
“Does that make you feel better, stranger?”
“You know I’m from another dimension?”
“I’ve always known about these things, but just absorbing the pain that exists in my dimension has left me too busy,” Yun Duo said. “So, if you want me to go to your world and absorb the pain there, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do.”
“I don’t think my world needs your help very much, but…thanks anyway.”
He Shenyan raised a hand calmly, and not far away, the body of the first-generation Star Child that fell on the ground flew over. Cloud stared at the body of the first-generation Star Child with her faceless face, and the spirit tentacles captured the emotion of pity again.
“You pity them?” He Shenyan asked.
“Yes.”
Cloud readily admitted.
“They wandered among the stars for so long, I thought they would have a good ending. Sadly, they made themselves more miserable when they found their home. Even me, who was wandering several galaxies away can feel it.”
“You can feel the pain of other creatures.”
“Not just living things.”
Yun Duo took a step forward, stretched out his arms, hugged the body of the first-generation Star Child softly, and said softly, “I can feel the pain of many things. Nature, the world, and even you, the alien visitor. Your pain is very painful. huge.”
“I don’t seem to be in pain.”
The mage denied her words, and Yun Duo didn’t seem to have any idea of asking. She just sighed and put the body of the first-generation star child gently on the ground: “They should have had a better ending, but they destroyed themselves.”
“It’s their problem that the planet’s environment is getting worse, but it’s also because you blocked the sky, isn’t it?”
“No, I didn’t block the sky,” Yun Duo corrected. “It’s the dead star children who borrowed my power.”
“So, what are you?”
Yun Duo was silent for a while: “…I’m afraid I’m also looking for an answer to your question, visitor from another world. I can’t answer you.”
“You said that the dead star children blocked the sky?”
“Yes, not only that, they also want to completely destroy their own race.” Yun Duo nodded lightly. “I don’t understand, but I won’t stop them from borrowing my power to fulfill their wishes.”
Borrowing power to fulfill wishes…interesting description.
He Shenyan asked the last question: “Since you have been here, you should know that they sent an army to invade my world, right?”
“I know.”
“So, if I want to kill them, will you stop me?”
“It’s them.” Yun Duo corrected his words. “I won’t stop you, they’re doomed, sooner or later. Maybe their lives have no meaning, like the slave laborers who died in their breeding grounds.”
She raised her head and stared at the thick clouds in the sky. Rolling endlessly, at first glance it looks like a pitch-black ocean is turbulent above the sky. Her shape is changing moment by moment, as are her emotions. He Shenyan captured her emotions again.
From pity, to more complex emotions.
“It’s been fifteen hundred years, and in the past, I’ve never been on a planet for so long. The pain of the Star Children is so great that I even feel like I’m about to be torn apart by their memories. Sometimes, in my dreams, I’m not myself. I’m a low-level star child at work.”
She was silent for a long time, raised her head and asked the mage a question: “If their memories are all on me, what am I?”
“I can’t answer your question, but I have a story that you may be willing to listen to.” He Shenyan said.
According to ancient books, there was a wandering wanderer among the sea of stars. He has no home, no family, no compatriots, no companions.
He has nothing. Anyone who tried to talk to him would die, not by his own hands. He didn’t want to approach anyone – just wandering, wandering among the stars with nothing.
Ten thousand years have passed, and in ten thousand years, he has not spoken to anyone. Until a mage named Gu Yi found him.
They meet on the surface of the sun.
It was the first time he had met someone who could talk to him.
Gu Yi asked him, “Where’s your planet?”
“Destroyed.”
“where is your family?”
“died.”
“All dead?”
“Yes.”
The wanderer replied bewildered: “I don’t know who I am, you are the only one who can communicate with me in 10,000 years. Before, I just wandered from one planet to another. I can fly in the universe, I Can crush stars. But I don’t want to hurt anyone, and I don’t understand why the people I talk to are dying.”
“If you came to me to avenge them, please do it, I will not resist.”
The wanderer closed his eyes with relief, but Gu Yi did not kill him. She just smiled. From her perspective, the wanderer is not a ‘person’, but a huge aggregated memory.
There are a total of 13.2 billion memories on him. He is the last legacy of a civilization and their grave keeper. The memories of 13.2 billion people were stored in his mind.
He didn’t know who he was, but he knew his planet was destroyed, he knew his family was dead – but he couldn’t name any of them at all.
He only remembered their faces.
One after another, men and women, young and old, beautiful or ugly. Whenever he closed his eyes, these faces flew before his eyes.
Gu Yi said, “No, I won’t kill you. But you will keep wandering. You are their tombstone.”
“Do you know that wanderer?” Yun Duo asked expectantly.
“No, I don’t know him. In fact, no one has seen him in person, and no one knows whether the story is true or not.”
He Shenyan’s words made Yun Duo bow her head in disappointment. She didn’t say more, and her figure gradually drifted up, as if she was going to return to the thick clouds.
The mage stood on the ground and watched her go away, but said nothing.
He quietly dispelled the Flesh Curse he had prepared. Cloud didn’t lie, he could see it. Indeed, these Star Children are doomed and none of them will survive. In fact, they won’t even have the chance to send an advance party to Earth again.
He Shenyan will block this place until all the Star Children are completely dead. This is just a small episode in his long journey, and the current priority is to return to the Sanctuary to find out why the connection between the dimensions has become so weak.
