Chapter 422 – [What Do You Do in the Rapture? Are You Busy? Can You Help Me?]
Even if you don’t want to meet, as long as you set a date, you have no choice but to meet in the end. Just as a national situation cannot be achieved without meeting presidents, the two eventually met.
Zion and Alyssa Near, no admin Eli.
“Hello”
“Hello”
The meeting between the two was silent after the first greeting, and they only drank coffee with a strange feeling. Specifically, sweet caramel macchiato.
Strangely, Shion had deliberately prepared 12,000 kinds of tea she had collected so far to suit her taste, but she was drinking Caramel Macchiato just like Shion.
I didn’t even ask for the same thing. She herself asked for a cafe latte first. Shion hacked into America’s computer network and looked at her past records (even minor ones are recorded because she is an important person), wondering if she deliberately chose something with the same taste to gain favor with her. It was her liking.
In some way, is this proof that the two are similar? Shion quietly sipped her coffee and passed the time in silence.
Maybe 10 minutes passed. It was Shion who spoke first, not Alyssa.
“I’m not good at talking about stuff like this. To be honest, I don’t really have feelings for my mother.”
“It’s not that there is resentment, but on the contrary, it doesn’t mean that there is love.”
“Yes, but there is also fear. If not, we would have met before.”
The two had many differences in appearance. Apart from Shion, who transcended human beauty, Alyssa was a beautiful woman, but she was still in the human category.
Of course, her appearance as a manager is second to none. Doesn’t look blood related.
“….I left you on the journey under the name of efficiency. It’s something I regret now, but at the time I thought it was the right choice.”
“I understand. I, too, sometimes think of it as a trait as a Hanon when efficiency-oriented thoughts come up.”
In Hanon’s method of reproduction, first, the male and female bodies meet to divide the ether that forms their energy body in half and fuse them together. No matter how weak this ability is, it doesn’t mean that there is no will. Two different wills merged to create a new Hanon.
Zion was born that way too. Although the way he was brought up is different from that of ordinary Hanon, the law is the same up to that point.
In the end, it’s a matter of will, so because the race is different, Shion and the worst can have a child. It’s just that the worst situation is refusal.
“I’ve come too many times to call you my mother now. If you’re a mother who didn’t come to my wedding, I’ll always feel sorry for you.”
“You’re different from me. Should I say I’m human?”
“Otherwise, would she have even married him?”
Hanon is an efficiencyist. If Shion’s previous life was not a human, it is obvious that he would have met another Hanon and done the same thing while wandering around the dimension like other Hanon or Eli, the manager of his previous life.
But she married the worst. Regardless of how inefficient it is to marry an infinitely reincarnated human being who is not just a reincarnated human being.
“If we had considered efficiency in the first place, would that be so? There is always something more than efficiency in the world.”
“It’s Hanon who didn’t realize that.”
“If there is a pure exception, it is my cousin.”
Shion was a human in her previous life, so even so, Utopia is a pure Hannon, but it is an example of perfecting her heart. However, before that feeling was completed, it was distorted… And he became the bad-tempered person he is now.
“It’s rare to know each other to talk about these feelings. It’s too desolate to live as a mother and daughter now, so let’s take time to get to know each other little by little.”
“I’d better do that for now, yes. I understand.”
Agreed with each other At least the beginning seems to have been stepped on steadily.
“……But I’m just saying this just in case. If you oppose or mistreat me by claiming to be my mother, I will get angry.”
“I don’t mean to. You’re a good person, aren’t you?”
“I usually don’t think so.”
At worst, they are the kind of people who have to worry about their lives if they are hostile, but on the contrary, if they can buy favors, they will take good care of them. That’s why the worst thing about a husband is… He’s a pretty good person.
Shion, in particular, was a precious person that the worst saw as an absolute value. He couldn’t help but love him that much, and on the contrary, it was natural for Zion to love him like that.
Alyssa, who was suddenly looking at Shion, asked cautiously.
“It’s disrespectful for me to ask such a question… But are you happy right now?”
“Yes, I’m very happy”
Happiness is the hardest but easiest to distinguish and set the abstract value. It is difficult to fit because each person has a different definition of happiness, but on the contrary, it is enough if the individual is the happiest.
For Shion, if he has someone he will love for the rest of his life, he thinks he is happy enough. Just as the worst can give up their lives for Zion, any material value or pleasure is inferior to what the worst gives.
“……That’s fortunate.”
“If we weren’t happy, we wouldn’t have gotten married in the first place. Besides, we’re still newlyweds.”
“My newlywed life…No, let’s just say. Even the time we met wasn’t long enough to be called life.”
“Come to think of it, what happened to my father?”
“The last time I heard, I heard that you went back to the circle of reincarnation.
“Hmm”
In the end, it is said that the only blood relatives left of Shion now are Alyssa, no, manager Ellie.
“Anyway, let’s talk about the original purpose. Did you say you wanted to build a city centered on immigration?”
“Yes, it’s not what I thought of, but if I can save people with this body, I’ll do it. There’s a moral problem… And a conscience problem, too.”
“It doesn’t matter either way. I think it’s something I should do if I can save more people. But one thing. He won’t sit still.”
The guy Shion was talking about was Gar-Rekal. The one who is currently watching the earth slowly perish from a giant temple in satellite orbit.
Fortunately, just as Zion cannot hack their computer network, on the contrary, they cannot hack Zion’s computer network. That’s why the construction of the immigration checkpoint or information related to this side won’t be passed on to them, but… They’re not Earth humans. As soon as you record it on your computer, there is a high possibility that it will be known to him as it is.
“I will definitely drive and move to extract greater despair. I can’t intervene there, so you have to endure with your own strength.”
“…That must be unavoidable.”
“Well, I understand. I can’t interfere anyway, so you can run it on your own. I’ll try to expand the living area as soon as possible, so just hang on for a while.”
“Thanks”
“It was nothing”
The two shook hands with each other. The public story was a handshake in the sense that it ended well here.
Then, suddenly, Alyssa carefully asked one thing.
“If you’re not rude… Can I hug you?”
“Yes?”
She has never hugged her own child. Since she only sat by the sidelines after Zion was born, she even spent much less time with her.
“……Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Carefully, Alyssa dropped to her knees and took Shion into her arms. The distance between each other, and the body temperature that is transmitted. On the other hand, Shion was taken aback by the feeling of something boiling up in his heart.
Even if the soul is human, it is inevitable that Hanon’s racial characteristic is insensitivity. Even if he kills a person, the guilt or emotion is faint, but it is the first time since the worst that he has reacted like this.
“I’m so glad you grew up well…”
Zion didn’t say anything. Her own hands, where she had nowhere to go, also gently hugged her.
The two, who seemed a little like mother and daughter, stayed that way for a while.
While feeling the love between family members whom I met after a long time.
* * *
The Hwaseong Immigration Checkpoint was completed, and after that, people who passed the test began to flock to it.
There weren’t really only Koreans there. Geographically, there were more Koreans, but there were also foreigners. Not just a few countries, but people from all over the world.
It was a story that was possible because he could still operate the means of transportation. Although it is a little uneasy, the Korean government is still struggling with situations such as smuggling because there is still a way to fly and use ships as well.
“Can’t we set up an immigration checkpoint somewhere else? If we do this, there’s a chance that there will be problems with overcrowding…”
“If that’s the case, we did it a long time ago. What do we want while we’re watching the Great Demon King?”
“Kuhm”
“If that’s the case, at least a few people…”
“What? Do you want your son, a fan of drugs and drinking, to come to Mars?”
“Kheuheum!!!”
Hibiki handled most of the diplomatic issues. It may seem out of place, but surprisingly, the direct speech and force were of great help in diplomacy.
Almost all requests to the immigration desk were rejected. However, if there was only one thing that was accepted, it was the construction of a separate alliance city around the examination table.
“If the garden is 100 million, the chances of people like you entering are slim, but if we hold on until we expand the residential area, even if we are reluctant, we have no intention of rejecting it, right?”
“That…….”
“There is a point, but the current situation is…”
“Then go behind the scenes, I’ve received from my sister-in-law a list of all the corruption you’ve done so far. Would you like to go through them one by one?”
“……..All right”
For this reason, the majority of those in power had no choice but to cry and pay 100 li to eat mustard to build a united city led by Alyssa Nier.
If the way to go is completely blocked, I will give up, but if there is even a little way, it is human beings to walk there whether they live or die.
And people who have a lot of things and have accumulated a lot so far have a strong obsession with life. If not, you wouldn’t be spending money on something that’s good for your health.
I wanted to know what would happen to the budget problem, but it went faster than I thought. People who realize the seriousness of the situation and unite, people who invest because they want to live, or people who believe in the symbol of Alisanne. As they gathered, a city slowly began to be built around the immigration counter.
Soon after, Alyssa Near, who appeared on the official line, began to speak to mankind all over the earth.
“First of all, I would like to greet those who are doing their best in the current chaotic situation, and I am standing here today because I have an important story to tell.”
It is extremely rare for her to appear directly in media outlets. It was only to end the controversy that she was dead or fake, but there were few times.
Her people wait for her story, focusing their attention on the screen on which she appears. The image of her that her seer, Alyssa Neer, had built over her last 20 years was an icon that surpassed her, if not absolute, for the present Earth.
If there had been before, there would have been Dr. Alien too… He was a researcher and, above all, was from the Tiv civilization. Those who survived the Great Temple secretly knew about it, so it has become a taboo word these days.
“The end of the earth is approaching. Even in the future I have seen, it is difficult to escape this crisis.”
A confirmed story told by a prophet. That had a bigger ripple effect than when Shion said it.
The generation that went through the Great Depression 20 years ago also endured then, but it left a deep and strong shock that changed what they thought about how they could overcome it now.
“But if there is only one way, it is to migrate to Mars. But this method cannot save everyone.”
The 100 million that Zion already said. Comparing it to the entire population of the earth, it is said that we have to break through the competition rate of one tenth. Of course, it won’t be that far, but few people think that at least they can easily pass it.
“That’s why I’m telling you all. Will you die like this, or will you find a way to survive until the very end?”
What was needed for that was a unified government. There was a sense of irony that things that could not be made during the time of prosperity were made before mankind perished.
United Nations organizations such as the United Nations are not. In order to overcome this situation and endure for a longer period of time, not to mention military power and capital, but above all, force was needed. It’s almost like a dictatorship level of coercion.
Because humans don’t listen to nice words. Among them, it was clear that there would be hungry spirits who wanted to fight for rights even while they were on the verge of destruction.
Such people must be pressed with force. If you don’t, it’s obvious that the integrated government that was created will also be eaten.
“There is no guarantee that something like ignoring or suppressing the human rights of others will not happen in the process. However, I promise that I will do my best to save even one more of you.”
It was Alyssa Near herself, not anyone else. A little, but reliable. But in the end, it’s just a little bit.
At least it’s her, so she has that much persuasiveness. No human being is normal in front of her original power, and it raises her suspicion. There was no law that she wouldn’t satisfy her own greed through her power like that.
“But with power comes responsibility. Instead of building a unified government and gaining absolute power, I will also assume absolute responsibility.”
If it’s not persuasive, you can supplement it. Because you can bet on it. If you have the right weight, the scale will tilt enough.
“Until the last person migrates to Mars. I will not leave this Earth.”
“…….!!”
“No!!!”
“That-is that true?! No…!!!”
Reporters and influential people who had been quietly listening in front of her speech stood up from her seats in surprise and asked her questions.
Some objected and some were surprised, but even with their reaction Alyssania had no will to change her own mind.
It wasn’t just because it’s a terminal that doesn’t really die when it dies. Even the terminal feels the pain. On the one hand, she is also one of the cogs in the world.
However, it is a decision based on responsibility for not actively preventing this situation and standing by. Indeed, she intends to be the last person on Earth to migrate to Mars.
“So, I hope you all join me in my cause.”
Strong constraints conversely bring about strong power. The story of risking one’s own life is very persuasive.
It’s a reckless story, but hope was born to that extent.
…….And this, too, the owner of the giant temple in the distance watched and smiled.
