The moment Vivien awoke, the entire space-time froze, and then gradually dissipated like a dream.Rome is gone, and the falling Olympus is broken down into the most basic units of information after being dyed gray-white, the temple of Poseidon, the legions of witchers, and the web of light paths that cover the sky......
Everything froze in an instant, and was gradually swallowed up by darkness, just like every time they went back, and in the end, only the temple hall where Hao Ren and his party were located remained, and turned into a static space-time with only black, white and gray.Hasselblad, who was being chased all over the hall, was finally able to stop, he took a breath, turned his head to look at the several Olympians who had come to a standstill, and tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's just in time." ”Vivien shook her head from side to side twice, as if she still had a little sequelae after being awakened from the previous state of confusion, and then she saw the collapsed and dilapidated temples around her and those Olympus "gods" in a static state, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia: "Have you come to the day of the destruction of Olympus......"
Hao Ren just nodded subconsciously, and then reacted: "Wait!
Do you know where it is now?
”"Thanks to your efforts," Vivien smiled lightly, confirming Hao Ren's guess, "you have continued to recover my strength and soul fragments, and finally loosened the suppression of this warped time and space, and I can now contact those fragments that have been awakened by you......
Although there are still some vague ones, the memories can be continued. ”This is really unexpected good news, and before Hao Ren could say anything, Lily, who was standing next to him, jumped up: "Whoa!
At least I don't have to re-explain the worldview to you every time!
”Vivien didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, turned her head to look at her side, she saw that Hethiana was looking at her excitedly, as if she was ready to pounce at any time, and on the other side of her stood little Hethanna who had been frozen in time and space: the little bat spirit still maintained the appearance of the last moment of time and space standstill, she hid beside Vivian, with a nervous and excited face, the little guy was not afraid of the situation when a large number of people suddenly fought before, but was extremely happy to be able to watch the excitement in his mother's arms.It's just a little kid who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement.After looking at it like this for a while, Vivien's face suddenly showed a complicated expression, and she gently stroked little Hethana's head with her hand, as if muttering, "Yes, I forgot you in Rome back then......
I forgot about it for many years before I remembered it. ”"Lord Vivian......"
Seeing this scene, Hethanna finally couldn't help but speak softly, and showed a rare hesitation, "I ......"
"You suffered a lot when you were a child," Vivien beckoned to Hethian, "Actually, I sent you to the shelter later just because I didn't want you to continue to suffer, you know, it is impossible to live a stable life with me......"
Hethanna probably didn't expect Vivian to take the initiative to let herself get closer, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, Suddenly threw herself into Vivian's arms: "Wow-Mom-" "It's been a long time since I've heard you call me that," Vivian's expression was a little embarrassed, and being held by Heatherian on her body and rubbing her tears and snot made her feel uncomfortable, but in the end she just patted the little bat spirit's head, "Forget it, just this once." ”Lily poked Hao Ren's arm: "Look, landlord, I'll just say that Vivian is an empty nest old bat, look at the atmosphere around her." ”Hao Ren pouted: "It's not easy for people to repair the relationship between mother and daughter, so don't complain." ”Hethanna didn't lose control for too long, or that her perennial position as the patriarch allowed her to exercise a very strong psychological quality, and she could distinguish priorities in any situation, she knew that Vivian's time in this time and space was very limited, so she quickly adjusted her emotions, and reluctantly raised her head from Vivian's arms: "Lord Vivian, how much strength have you recovered?"
”She even changed her title to Vivien - not for any other reason, but because she had used it for more than a thousand years, and was more familiar with it, and as for the "Mommy" just now, it was just because she was venting in her excitement."
It's hard to describe the battle that took place in the deepest realm to you, my power is constantly recovering, but the dark corruption factor is rooted in the depths of my soul, and it is also robbing those forces that keep returning, and the stronger I get, the stronger it gets, so it's more like a constant struggle than a battle, and we're all fighting to hold more power in our own hands in order to gain ultimate dominance," Vivien patted Hethana's head and turned her head to look at Hao Ren, "But don't worry, I'm sure I'll win. ”When Hao Ren heard Vivian's description in the first half, he still chuckled in his heart, and said that the power fragments he had collected in the process of backtracking for a long time were actually strengthening the corrupt side of Vivian's soul at the same time, but he was surprised when he heard it: "Sure of victory?"
”"I have always regarded the corrupted side of my soul as another self, even if it is chaotic, I also regard it as an evil enemy with an independent 'personality', but not long ago I found out that it is actually 'dead', although I don't know how it 'died', but I found that it can only operate according to a complex but fixed logic, I make stimulus, it makes fixed counterattacks, as if ......"
"Just like a computer?"
Hao Ren blinked, he didn't expect Vivian to have such a complex "inside story" in the depths of her soul, but in any case, what he heard now was good news, "So you have found the essence of the corrupt side in your soul and figured out the laws of its activities?"
”"It's just that I've grasped a part of the law and guessed its essence, and I'm still a little far from finding the nature of that thing," Vivien said lightly, with confidence in her tone, "I'll be able to dig it out completely......
No matter how deeply ingrained that thing is in my soul, I want it to know who is the real owner of this place. ”Seeing Vivien's confident performance, Hao Ren could believe that the other party definitely didn't say this to comfort himself."
Then I wish you all the best," he nodded, "and I'll keep going back and try to get all your strength back as soon as possible - it will be easier for you to win." ”Vivian snorted, and suddenly looked at Hao Ren with a bright smile: "So......
We'll see you in the next era. ”Then she looked at Hethanna again: "You too, you have to protect yourself in the dream, I hope you will still be ...... when I wake up next time" Just like the hurried meeting after every successful backtracking, Vivien's awakening this time was still quite short, the distorted time and space resisted her and quickly excluded her, in just a few words, she was already an almost transparent phantom.However, after experiencing this scene many times, Hao Ren has been able to face all this calmly, and he believes that the separation is only temporary, and soon, he will be able to truly save Vivien from this long and twisted dream for good.He was convinced of that.Vivian's aura finally disappeared completely, but Heatherenne was still staring blankly ahead, Hao Ren was afraid that something would happen to this little bat spirit, so he hurriedly waved his hand in front of the other party: "Hey, wake up, wake up—are you okay?"
”Hethanna was stunned, and suddenly muttered like a demon: "She said that she would like to see me next time she woke up, and she said that she would want to see me next time she woke up......
Mistress Vivien says she still wants to see me!!
She said she wanted to see me!
”The little bat spirit became louder and louder the more he talked, and in the end he was simply dancing and shouting.Hao Ren looked confused: "......
As for it?
”On the other side, as Vivien departed, the figure of Hesperius suddenly shook in the midst of a group of stone-like Olympians.In the next second, the gray-white figure was suddenly dyed with a vivid color, and Hesperius successfully "smuggled" into this distorted time and space as Hao Ren expected."
Hey, I've kept you waiting," the goddess of twilight said to Hao Ren and Heatherian, then looked around, "Where's that damn Hasselblad?"
”Hasselblad walked up with a righteous face on his face: "I'm here - but let's talk about the past, the past is not to blame, and this time it's just a mirror image of history......"
Okay, he doesn't mean Ling Ran at all, he just has facial paralysis, so he can't see that his heart is empty.Hesperispi looked at Hasselblad with a non-smiling smile: "We are in a truce, but I have been drawn into this history again, so now I am quite unhappy to look at your face-" Hasselblad: "Okay, I understand your feelings, but if you still want revenge, I hope that after you leave here - the earth is coming to an end, you can't declare a personal vendetta at this time, right?"
”Hesperius stared at Hasselblad for a long time, and finally waved his hand impatiently: "Hey—I'm annoyed to see your face, but I'm still more or less knowledgeable, so don't get in my way." ”Hao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: what he was most worried about just now was the relationship between Hesperius and Hasselblad after he came in, although the camp to which the two belonged had signed a truce in the real world outside, but the truce was one thing, and the personal relationship was another, plus Hesperius entered this time and space at the moment of the fall of Olympus, and it was difficult to guarantee that she would not affect the stability of the team because of the recollection of the problem of national hatred and family hatred.
But now it seems that all these worries can be put aside: the Hesperius of the 21st century is not the kryptonite of 44 BC after all, and she is still very knowledgeable.Thinking of this, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh a little: Alas, the composition of the group members is complicated, and the team is not easy to bring, in contrast, it is really a group of melon-eating tenants at home, whether it is a dog male and female combination or a fish-dog combination or a cat-dog-fish combination or a ......
Anyway, why can't you avoid dogs no matter which combination?
