update icon Updated at 2025/2/17 17:10:12

"Latest news: The Alliance Army was attacked by the hired soldiers of the Iliana group in the Pacific Ocean at three o'clock this morning. So far, the media and relevant individuals, including Vicarchi, have lost contact... Sssss!"

Iliana's satellite controls every corner of the world. The signal invaded by Vicarchi appeared on the television: "Hi, I want to say good morning to everyone during breakfast time. I believe you must be confused about my declaration of war to the world."

At this point, his tone and gaze suddenly became stern, but on the surface, he still maintained a righteous appearance as if he were doing something noble.

"What has war brought us in the past century? It has brought countless people homelessness, turned people of the same race into enemies, and created a never-ending cycle of desire for power and reproduction, like demons existing in this world."

"But I want to tell you, I am fighting for justice, and this will be our first victorious war! Soon, we will all achieve victory!"

"And we will also fulfill our ultimate mission - to liberate all mankind!!!"

"Bullshit!"

Rubbing his messy hair, Yuanhui punched the TV and sat alone on the observation deck with a can of beer, drinking in silence.

"..."

No one knew how to persuade him, and no one expected things to escalate to this point.

"..."

Yuka-sister finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"You're right!" After several internal struggles, she finally made up her mind. "I'm going back to the North Station to rescue Juxi."

"I'll go with you, and everyone else too!"

Krus grabbed Yuanhui's shoulder and shouted, "What are we waiting for? Without Juxi, you should take on the role of captain, right?!"

"..."

Yuanhui put one hand on his chest and the other on his chin, thinking. He glanced at the empty North Station, where the armory was located.

"Everyone calm down. Have you thought about whether we can win against Vicarchi now?"

At this most passionate moment, Yuanhui poured cold water on everyone and took out a cigarette, leaning back on the edge of the table.

"I think the only way now is to launch a strong attack!"

Yuanhui walked over, smashed the safety system with a shot, and as the roar sounded, two mechs in the warehouse shone brightly under the light.

"Report to headquarters, please detect the current location of Shura (Juxi)!" (Yuanhui)

"The target cannot be detected, but multiple energy points have been found directly ahead. It is recommended to avoid conflicts if possible."

"Krus!" Yuanhui gave the command, "Change the route to the center of the North Station, and then we move on foot!"

In the front, they could already vaguely see the fire and hear the intense artillery sounds through the mist.

"The prisoners in the prison are escaping!"

Krus opened the Hawkeye to report the situation. The prisoners launched multiple attacks, occupying the Iliana arsenal one by one.

"Krus, stop the plane!"

"What did you say?!"

"Stop it!" Yuanhui was incoherent, "We can't enter the central station. There are over a hundred anti-aircraft mechs supporting below!"

The Iliana mechs had set up an indestructible defense line at the prison gate. Countless death squads composed of prisoners were wiped out by heavy machine gun fire.

"I think we should go down and help them."

"Krus, don't be impulsive!" Yuka-sister had lived under the Iliana group for seventeen years, and she knew the power of the Iliana mercenaries. "If we go down, it would be like throwing eggs at a stone. The firepower of our spaceship is currently insufficient to take them down."

The enemy forces had already started to gather, and the headquarters successfully intercepted some of the Iliana mercenaries' support.

"Team, I believe your mission needs to be terminated!" Headquarters sent a new order, requesting the team to stop the rescue mission for Shura.

"Why?" Yuanhui was very puzzled. "I cannot give up on Shura..."

"You must do so!"

The commander of the headquarters criticized with a very severe tone, "Sometimes we must learn to weigh the gains and losses. Nearly ten thousand rebels have already broken through the Alliance's defense line. If you stay for another ten minutes, the situation will be extremely dangerous!"

"Damn it, Ilyana and her gang are really persistent... Report says there's a spacecraft heading towards the train tracks."

"Then you must track it down, it's likely Vickerqi's spaceship!"

Headquarters... these old folks are really stubborn, Yuanhui thought. Listening to them will only lead me into a ditch.

"Do you really want to chase after that spaceship?"

Yuka asked with doubt, questioning Yuanhui's decision to change course and chase after the spacecraft instead of going to the prison. "Our goal was only to rescue Juxi, right?"

"That's why we need to pursue that spaceship even more."

Having made up his mind to take a risk, Yuanhui twisted the handle again and pushed the engine to its maximum power. "You're not thinking clearly. Only Juxi could have escaped from the prison!"

"Hmmmm..."

At this moment, under the operation of Zhao Xuliang, the spaceship was flying north at a high speed. I was monitoring the signals emitted by the enemy's land and air forces on the radar on the left side, while Yu Nai was in charge of contacting the rescue forces to hurry them here.

Suddenly, an enemy spacecraft appeared in our field of vision. Just when we were terrified, the door opened - Vickerqi appeared on a seagull spaceship wearing a sports shirt.

"I order you, quickly cover us and evacuate safely!"

"Vickerqi..."

As Zhao Xuliang repeated this name absentmindedly, a strange memory surged into my brain...

Two months ago, Zhao Xuliang and an unnamed woman infiltrated Ilyana's headquarters to carry out an assassination mission. As a result, the woman was captured along with him, and in front of his eyes, she was brutally killed. She was Zhao Xuliang's wife!

In the following two months, Zhao Xuliang couldn't accept the fact that his wife was gone. After all, they used to be the best couple, and now...

"Vickerqi!!"

"Zhao Xuliang, calm down... ah!"

Even with my best efforts to calm him down, I couldn't stop his anger from consuming his sanity. He roared and fiercely rammed the seagull into that spaceship! Then our spacecraft collided with them and crashed down towards the central area of the North Station.

"Ah..."

Bang!

(The infinite boundary of the universe)

I once touched the future, I don't know why I have the ability to share other people's memories. Why do humans constantly pursue their dreams? I also have a beautiful wish, but...why, why is this?

The flames of war swept beneath my feet, with one person dying every second, one person being forgotten...

"What we lose in the cruel war often exceeds what we gain!" I finally realized Vickerqi's true intention. Hopefully, it's not too late for everything.

Vickerqi was everywhere in front of my eyes like a slide show, constantly replaying and igniting the flames of hatred in my heart!

"Vickerqi, he must die..."

As the flames burned within me, I saw Yuka grabbing my hand and slowly gripping Vickerqi's neck. She cheered me on, saying, "Kill him...kill him and it will all end!"

"..."

Ugh! My head was throbbing as if I was once again facing the decision of death. What should I do?!

The flames burned fiercely around me, and I held Yuka's soft and small hand tightly, refusing to let go because I could feel that letting go might mean a permanent farewell.

"Uh... cough cough cough!"

I crawled out of the wreckage of the plane with great effort, but there was no sign of Yu Nai and Zhao Xuliang.

"Where am I?"

Dragging my one remaining arm and feeling exhausted, I struggled to move towards the crashed plane that had collided with us. I wanted to confirm if the person there was Vikergun.

"Vikergun..."

In the ruins of the abandoned North Station, leaning against a cliff hundreds of meters away, there was a man in a fat suit who looked extremely similar to Vikergun. With great difficulty, I managed to flip the body over with my right hand.

"This is..."

That person was not Vikergun. We fell into their trap! Just then, a wave of coldness suddenly came from behind me, and I didn't have time to turn around... Bang!

A dark shotgun muzzle fired, hitting my knee. I felt only a cold and hot sensation in my left leg, followed by excruciating pain.

"Ah ah ah ah..." I yelled as loudly as possible to alleviate the pain, but when I saw the person with the shotgun, I froze.

"Vikergun!?"

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!" Vikergun angrily loaded another bullet into the shotgun. "But I can forgive you and give you another chance. Yet, you still rejected me and became a stumbling block for me!"

This time, he firmly aimed the muzzle at my forehead, with a gaze filled with killing intent.

"Heh, chance? Could it be that you were behind those maids in the villas?" It seemed like I couldn't escape this time. His fingers were already starting to pull the trigger. I regret not killing him the first time we met at the abandoned villa!

"Some of them were, but not all! That's not important now. What's important is that you could have had everything, but you gave up..." Bang!!

In the instant Vikergun fired his gun, Yuanhui, in a fit of rage, rushed out from behind me. Caught off guard, Vikergun missed his target and hit the nearby stone slab instead.

"Die!" Yuanhui sat firmly on top of Vikergun, cursing and trying to strangle him, but was tackled to the ground by two guards from the post station who had suddenly appeared.

Just coming back from the clutches of death (unable to breathe due to Yuanhui choking his neck), he gasped for breath in big gulps.

"Uh..."

I also noticed a Heroine scattered on the ground at my feet. Seizing this opportunity, I tried to reach out and grab the handgun, clutching it in my hand like a lifeline.

"It's over, kid!" Although I was being extremely cautious, Vikergun still saw through my intentions. He forcefully stepped on my right hand holding the gun and then kicked me towards the shotgun I was holding in my hand behind me, aiming at me once again.

"By tomorrow, we will all be liberated..." Vikergun ranted like a madman, "We will all achieve victory!!"

"Yeah, but unfortunately, you won't be a part of it anymore!"

Zhao Xuliang suddenly pounced on Vikergun from somewhere and they began wrestling with each other.

"Don't just stand there, Juxi!" Zhao Xuliang clenched his teeth and reminded me, "Finish him off quickly!"
