Sword Emperor Harvey held the crimson beam sword tightly in his hand, and countless flying blades surrounded him, aiming the front ends of the flying blades at Vasco da Gama's blue core.

"The Supreme Blade."

After he said these words calmly, the energy beam of the flying blade flashed with crimson light, condensing the light energy at the tip of Harvey's long beam sword. Then, a crimson beam of light

Energy fluctuations shot out from the end of his sword.

That was the skill of Hypernetus, but Alicia was only focused on the man in front of her who was fighting on her behalf, and did not notice the blade in his hand. The red beam penetrated the blue core of Vasco da Gama.

, the silver-white giant suddenly fell from the sky and landed among the ruins, raising a sandstorm of smoke and dust.

Alicia was just about to say thank you for coming to this unknown battle, but she found that the man in front of her had disappeared, as if everything had never happened.

In the core of Da Gama's consciousness, Rin, who had fallen into a deep sleep, felt as if something had ripped open his mind, and he heard the voice of a strange man.

"Get up, how long are you going to sleep...the boy who carries the inscription of 'hope'."

He didn't want to wake up because he knew that when he merged with Vasco da Gama's consciousness, he killed countless people. As a container of "hope", he was also the "Gama orphan" left by Vasco da Gama on the earth.

After being captured by Knapp using his digitalization ability, he served as Vasco da Gama's starter and was locked up in an experimental cabin specially made by Knapp.

Although he watched da Gama kill so many innocent people, he could do nothing. He could only let da Gama pollute his mind with words while playing him desperate images.

This is a great gift brought to him by the "Sage of Despair - Da Gama". If Rin is completely affected by Da Gama, then he will never come back. In this world called "Despair"

It is kept in a container and will always become Vasco da Gama’s “inexhaustible” source of power.

However, Harvey's voice brought him a glimmer of hope in despair. When he woke up from his coma, a tall blond man wearing a bright red trench coat held a long knife that glowed with dark red light.

, standing in front of him.

"I didn't expect Hypernetus Cangya to choose you... It seems that you are an ordinary person, but you actually have the power of hope of the 'Prince of Light'. It's really disappointing."

Rin stood up from the dark consciousness and faced the man. The man just walked towards him slowly, and the sword blade in his hand was still emitting a strong red light. Rin was very conscious at this time, and when the man invaded Da

After Gamma's body, he also sensed the "invasion of foreign objects", and instantly became energetic and asked him:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

When Rin asked about the identity of this mysterious man, the man asked him to follow him. He wanted to take Rin to a new place.

When walking through a long corridor filled with fragments of the Rin Conference, he could see the appearance of Captain Bronya, Lin Qi... Ritter, and even Dr. Edward, who had been confirmed to be "dead", and

Sister Alicia, whom she had known for a short time, was all looking at him with expectant eyes. Surrounded by such eyes, Rin could only feel the incomparable sting in his heart.

He knew that Vasco da Gama controlled his consciousness, killed many people, and harmed his innocent companions. This was just because he failed to break free from Da Gama's consciousness control, which led to this result.

"How do you feel?" Harvey asked him in a very vicissitudes of voice.

At this time, Rin felt nothing except the sharp stabbing pain in his heart, as if these were inextricably linked to him, and it was also a condemnation of his own incompetence. He did not answer, and had to let Harvey lead him

Passing through his memory tunnel, he came to a dark secret room. When he motioned for Rin to sit down on the iron chair in front of him, the surrounding light became increasingly dim.

"I ask you……"

Harvey put his hands on the iron table, making a crisp impact sound, and then stared at Rin's face with his eyes that seemed to be able to see everything.

"Do you have the consciousness to bear all this? Even though you have become a container of 'hope'...do you also have the consciousness to save all of this?"

Rin still didn't speak. He knew that he failed to respond to everyone's expectations. If he could have a stronger will, he might be able to change everything. Seeing that he didn't mean to speak, Harvey took out his long knife and cut it.

The tip pointed at Rin's head.

"Answer me, otherwise I don't mind ending all this with my own hands. As long as I kill you, 'Da Gama' will stop operating. I don't mind ending all this before you make a decision."

Rin knew that the strange man in front of him would kill him here, but he felt extremely relieved at this moment, because he knew that if he died here, it might be the best comfort for the innocent souls.

"3...2..."

Just when Harvey was about to count to the last number, Rin answered with a trembling voice:

"I'm sorry...I...don't. I didn't kill these people. I don't have the consciousness to shoulder everything. I can't!"

"go on."

Harvey's voice became calmer and his eyes became sharper, causing Rin to dare not look at the older man. When he was forced by Harvey to express his feelings, he knew very well that he did not have this.

Become aware and bear this guilt.

"I'm sorry, I'm an ordinary person, I can't stop this... I don't want any 'power' or anything like that!"

"Keep talking."

"Although I am an ordinary person, an ordinary and inconspicuous existence...but all this happened because of me! If my will could be stronger, so many people would not die! I must stop 'Daga'

Ma'! I don't want to be His vessel!"

He finally said what he wanted to say. At this moment, he suddenly stood up from his seat and loudly continued to say those words that criticized himself:

"If I could be strong enough to stop all this...so many companions would not be hurt, and my friends would not be sacrificed!"

"If...if I could have the ability to save others...but, I have nothing! I have nothing!"

After Harvey heard what Rin said from his heart, he just nodded expressionlessly. Then, he put the knife back and continued to ask him:

"Do you know what this sword means to you?"

Before Rin could react, the pure white silver dagger, Hypernetus, appeared in his right hand. He silently picked up the sword and looked at it carefully, as if it was meant to target

He said something. After a long time, Hypernetus' consciousness began to emerge, and Nelei's voice appeared and whispered in his ear:

"I have always been by your side, Master... You are not an 'ordinary person', but the master of Nielai. Nielai is your 'royal guard'. Believe in Nielai, believe in Mr. Harvey, we are all here."

By your side."

Hypernetus exuded a strong blue light, and blue flames surrounded the sword. With the young man's roar, he held Hypernetus in his hand and split open the sword spreading in the void.

dark.

What is waiting for him may be the answer he wants to find most in his heart. What is despair and what is hope is about to be revealed.

It was at this time that Alicia, who discovered that "Va da Gama" had not moved, was checking and trying to check Da Gama's situation. She stood in front of the fallen huge white giant, and only saw the white giant's chest.

The blue core was cut open, and a burst of intense blue light burst out from it.

Immediately afterwards, a hand holding Hypernetus tightly stretched out from the blue viscous blood seeping out of the broken core of Nada Gama.

"Little cutie!"

Alicia realized that she had been fighting Rin who was devoured by Vasco da Gama from just now. She quickly released her Herrscher form and ran towards the disheveled Rin, who crawled out of the core.

After coming out, he and his sword fell from Da Gama's body. Alicia caught Rin who fell and put him on the ground.

Although his body was covered with Vasco da Gama's inexplicable blue viscous body fluid, she was not afraid of these disgusting and sticky things at all and still held Rin in her arms.

"He is fine." Sword Emperor Harvey appeared behind Alicia, took out a white handkerchief, handed it to her, and asked her to wipe the area contaminated by Da Gama's blood.

"Thank you." Alicia took the handkerchief and said. "By the way, is it Mr. Harvey? Thank you for fighting side by side with me. Does Kevin know about your coming here?"

Harvey said that it was precisely because Kevin gave him the order that he rushed over from the distant "Fourth World Bubble". Because this had just happened in the "Second World" where Alicia and others were.

In this case, the threshold of Honkai pollution was instantly raised to a very high level, so Kevin would send himself to check the situation.

At this time, Harvey also remembered his second purpose of coming here, and asked Alicia: "I came here to find the identity of 'Despair Vasco da Gama', a man named Agnes, do you know him?"

?"

"Ontology? In other words, what are we dealing with...?"

"Explain it. What we dealt with just now was the 'Remnant Body of Vasco da Gama'. It is just an empty shell with self-awareness. It is also part of the power of the 'Herrscher of Despair' in this world. Fortunately, it does not have

Form a 'perfect body', otherwise I won't be able to prevent that kind of thing from coming."

Alicia was shocked because she didn't know much about things like "Heavenly Sage". Judging from this situation, the power she possesses is not as powerful as a god-level enemy like "Heavenly Sage".

It can be considered a drop in the bucket, so who can stop such a terrible enemy as the "Complete Heavenly Sage"?

After Harvey had a conversation with Alicia, he also hoped that she would take good care of this young man. He has "divine nature" in his body and is a higher-level existence than the Herrscher. However, because he was sealed away too

It's been a long time, so the power in his body has faded a bit. I hope one day I can see what he will look like after awakening.

At the same time, the "Herrscher of Despair" in Harvey's words was sitting in his office at this moment, pouring himself a glass of red wine, and then looking at the "beautiful scene" outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, proudly

laughed loudly.

At this moment, the famous classical music "Für Elise" was playing in the office of the new Arcadia president. He danced to the music, looked at the blood-red sky outside the window, held his imaginary other self in his arms, and closed his eyes.

His upper eyes were spinning in intoxication.

"I didn't expect that Knapp's plan would be realized so quickly. My future and my righteousness will be realized soon... It's really exciting and exciting."

As he murmured, he dropped the glass in his hand to the ground, and the blood-red red wine spread all over the carpet, as if he had experienced a murder scene.

When Agnes was in high spirits, a man with a mohawk came in. He was "Marco Skywalker", a member of the New Arcadia Polaris Alliance, and asked Agnes: "Sir Agnes,

looking for me?"

Agnes pulled him to the side with a smile on her face, hugged him tightly with one of her arms, put his ear to her mouth, and said these words to him:

"Want to join a greater plan? My compatriots... just becoming a 'Mimesis' may not be enough for you. You have to become more powerful and become the kind of existence that 'dominates mankind'

.”

When Marco heard this, he was very happy. He quickly said, "I am willing to join your great plan." Not to mention how proud he was. But after Agnes said, "As you wish," he immediately felt it.
