Chapter 142: Linked to Each Other, Defeated by Oneself
"Who tricked me?"
Sakura's face was gloomy, and the murderous intent in her eyes was chilling.
Even though she is not good at mental attacks, not just anyone can affect her thinking logic.
Sakura could only think of six people who had come into contact with her and had the ability to do this.
The first person to bear the brunt is Mebius, the guy most likely to harm her and the most suspect. Every time she thought of Snake, Sakura felt itchy with hatred. It was conceivable that she would not be much better in the other's eyes.
Mebius has the most secretive methods, and Sakura can find out a lot of motives and reasons for her.
However, for some reason, with her keen but unreliable intuition, Sakura thought that probably, maybe, should...it was not Mebius who harmed her.
Imagine from another perspective, if one day, Mebius suddenly disappears, then her daily life may also feel quite uncomfortable...
Without a nemesis who can "supervise" oneself to make continuous progress and grow, life is quite boring, and I usually don't know who to quarrel with and fight with.
Moreover, would Mebius use such disgraceful means? She should be disdainful of doing this. Although Snake's methods are insidious and vicious, they are all "straightforward" and they almost never use indirect tricks or relying on the power of others to deal with Sakura. From this point of view, Snake is quite cute...
"Huh? No! No! The green-haired dead earthworm is not cute at all! It's extremely hateful!"
Sakura tapped her forehead and quickly changed her views and senses about Snake. It seemed that there was something wrong with her thinking. For a moment, she thought Mebius was cute. It was simply unreasonable.
Second is Zhong Yan, the second most suspected, and the motive for harming her is also obvious, his love rival.
Although Jiuyan has always been "honest" and has never shown his possessiveness towards Wutong in front of anyone, Sakura has reason to believe that as long as there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the other party will definitely kill her. After all, everyone will I want to occupy Wutong alone.
Although Zhongyan seems "generous" and has no worldly desires, Ying feels that she is the most "small-minded", the most "selfish" and the most "domineering". In some aspects, she is worse than Mei, who is terrible, despicable and hateful. Bius is even more "disgusting".
From a random example in daily life, you can see how annoying White Hair and Golden Eyes are. For example, Wutong was always allowed to come to his room every time. The two of them were always alone, eating alone, and never interacted with each other even once. Others have shared that it is too domineering, too selfish, and too petty!
The third suspect is Wutong who likes to have fun. If it was her husband, then things would be easier to handle. Ying believed that Wutong would definitely have a "backup" and would not put herself in danger, let alone abandon her.
However, Sakura couldn't think of Wutong's reason for doing this. Well...it's not unexpected. If you search hard, you can still find many motives, but unfortunately they are not very "obvious" or "absolute".
The fourth suspect is Dr. Mei. Although Mei does not have the ability to affect Sakura's thinking, it is not ruled out that she has related methods.
If it is Mei, then her original intention should not be to harm herself. Her motivation may be similar to her reason for "traveling" back to the past, to find the "method" and "direction" to defeat "Endgame".
The fifth and sixth suspects are Suzu and Xiaoshi respectively. Their possibility can be basically ruled out. Theoretically, these two people have that ability. However, there is no reason to do so. Sakura trusts her sister and Xiaoshi very much. Little knowledge of people.
Thinking of this, Sakura shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to "get rid" of the distracting thoughts in her mind. Now is not the time to think about these problems. How to break the illusion, or how to find Wutong, is the most important thing.
Who influenced her thinking? She can wait until she goes back to find and take revenge slowly. If she can't go back, what's the use of knowing the real culprit?
Traveling back to the past is countless times more difficult than traveling to the future, but if you want to travel to a "determined" future, it is countless times more difficult than traveling back to the past.
Because if you want to travel back in time, you only need to follow the direction of the "branches" of the tree of imaginary numbers and "walk" back, to the "origin", and to the "trunk". At least there is a "direction".
But if you want to travel to a "decided" future, you need to find a correct "direction" from countless "forks".
If humans can find it, then humans can find a "future" that defeats Honkai, a parallel world bubble and civilization that defeats Honkai.
But such a "future" has not been discovered or observed by humans so far.
So this is almost impossible to do. If Sakura wants to do it, she will be able to find Wutong only if there is someone "leading" her in the "future" and on Wutong's timeline.
Time passes on the tree of imaginary numbers. There is no direction or law at all. It "forks" and "grows" unscrupulously. Any person, or even any kind of substance, makes different "choices" at the same time. , will lead to "forking" into countless "futures" and countless possibilities.
Therefore, Sakura was actually very desperate at this time, because she didn't know what to do to find Wutong.
She could only pray that this was an illusion, or that Wutong had already known and guessed what she and Mei were going to do, and left a "backup" on her body.
Otherwise, not to mention that the Herrscher core in her body was already dull. Even if it was full of vitality, she would not be able to find Wutong.
Not to mention that the Herrscher of the End is the enemy of civilization and her enemy, even if the Herrscher of the End
Herrscher was her friend and was willing to help Sakura, but with the strength of the two of them, plus the power of Honkai, they couldn't find Wutong.
If Wutong had a "past", it would be easy to say, at least there are traces to follow. In other worlds, Wutong does not exist yet, so the possibility of finding Wutong "now" is very high.
But Wutong doesn't even have "the past", and I don't know how he did it, how he erased all traces of his "past", and when he did it. Anyway, he "trapped" Sakura. .
Among countless "choices" without any hints, it is almost impossible to find the only and correct "answer".
Not long after, Sakura landed on the moon with a nervous and fatal determination, and saw the Herrscher of the End in a "standby" state.
In fact, Sakura didn't know what she should do or what she should do. She had no "direction" or "method", but she could only come here because only here could bring her a slight possibility.
The Herrscher of End in front of her, as expected by Sakura, was not the End that she was familiar with, nor the love rival she had been with day and night, but a girl who looked very similar to End Yan.
"How can we take away her power and strength?"
While thinking about it, Sakura used her eyes to look for the relics of Aponya, Qianjie, Kosma, Padofelis and others, preparing to bury them and pay a simple memorial ceremony.
However, at this moment, the motionless Herrscher of the End suddenly "opened" his indifferent eyes in advance and turned to look at Sakura.
What does it feel like to be watched by a "god"?
Creepy and fearful...this is the instinct of living things and the instinctive reaction of human beings.
It's probably like an ant with the ability to think was seen by a human who likes to harm living creatures.
Sakura was not afraid and reacted quickly. She pulled out the knife that she had almost never used before and slashed forward without hesitation, striking first.
Although her strength is not as good as that of her opponent, Sakura is not even afraid of the End, so will she be afraid of the Herrscher of the End?
Time paused for a moment, and everything around her seemed to have stopped moving. This was the most peak sword attack Sakura had ever performed with her current physical fitness and strength.
But that's all. She can stop time, but she can't cut a "future".
No matter how powerful and terrifying the attack is, it is useless if it has no direction and cannot "hit" anyone.
It seems... not an illusion.
Sakura's heart sank to the bottom.
What about Wutong?
Your wife is about to die, why don't you come out quickly to save her and help her? !
Unfortunately, Wutong could not hear Sakura's voice and did not respond to his wife's expectations, which made Sakura even more desperate.
Her eyes became dull and lifeless, looking just like Mebius's eyes just now, without hope.
However, next, a "miracle" happened that surprised Sakura again. The powerful effect of her sword was outstanding, and it actually pierced the Herrscher of the End between the eyebrows.
This...is wrong! It's not that this sword is powerful, but that the opponent didn't resist! Sakura responded.
Why wasn't there any resistance? Could it be...still "on standby"? Strength has not been fully restored?
No! wrong! It’s not that there was no resistance, the Herrscher of the End was “guiding” her to do this!
The next moment, a dazzling "white light" burst out from the center of the broken eyebrows, and even Sakura was "swallowed" before she could react.
Wherever the "white light" shines, everything is "purified". At this moment, the moon is particularly dazzling.
When her vision returned to normal again, Sakura found herself in an ethereal world, with a deep and mysterious "ocean" above her head, and a clear, mirror-like "sky" beneath her feet. The "ocean" was very calm, without a single "wave" or " ripple".
There was a "person" sitting on the "throne" in front of him, a "person" who seemed to be faded, and his appearance was similar to the Herrscher of the End.
Where is this? Conscious space? Or...another world?
Who is she? The Herrscher of the End? Collapse of consciousness? Or... break the will?
Will and consciousness are different.
Sakura was unsure, her heart became a little nervous inexplicably. This was the first time she faced real "Honkai".
Nervousness does not come from fear or fear, but from the unknown.
Of course, it can also be said that it comes from fear, but what Sakura is afraid of is not her, but that she will not be able to see Wutong from now on.
Sakura doesn't know what she wants to do, why she brought herself here, whether she has good intentions or ill intentions toward herself, whether she will choose to "trade" with herself and help herself, and what is the price of the "trade"?
In the ethereal and mysterious world, it is quiet and silent, without a trace of sound, as if it is in a vacuum.
The two "people" looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke.
Sakura's heart was full of doubts. What was the other person doing? Why don't you say anything? What’s the point of just observing yourself like this?
No! wrong!
She is not Honkai's will or consciousness, she is simply the embodiment of "Honkai"!
Sakura, whose brain was "working" at high speed, suddenly figured this out.
She had seen part of the sealed power of Honkai Will on the moon and defeated her. She also knew what it was like to talk to Honkai Will and how it felt.
Wutong also talked to her about what she should pay attention to when coming into contact with the real Honkai Will.
Think of this
, Sakura's heart skipped a beat. In front of her was "truth", a "truth" without consciousness and will.
If she can obtain and control "truth", then...
Is this a gift from her husband to herself? Otherwise, why would she pass through the Herrscher of the End so smoothly and come here?
Sakura couldn't help but feel greed in her heart.
This must be Wutong's gift to himself!
Sakura subconsciously took a few steps forward, and then her figure paused.
It wasn't that she realized that she had to be more cautious and restrain her inner greed, but...she couldn't move.
Suddenly, the core of the Herrscher of Origin, which was located on Sakura's chest, floated out without her control.
Sakura watched helplessly as the gift her husband once gave her bloomed with a dazzling pale pink light again, and then... shattered and drifted away.
No!
how come? !
Why is this so? !
Sakura's heart was screaming, she couldn't accept it.
This is Wutong's gift to her! special gift! One of her most cherished gifts.
It was her hope to return to Wutong.
The broken pieces were like broken dreams and fantasies. Among the broken pieces, a faded "human" figure similar in appearance to Sakura came out.
The moment her figure appeared, the world was filled with a huge amount of information and knowledge. Even Sakura's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge that was constantly being cut and confused.
Fortunately, Sakura had learned "shielding" from Wutong, but her head still felt swollen and painful from that moment.
Sakura recognized her, "Honkai Will," or to be more precise, the guy who had defeated part of the Honkai Will's power sealed on the moon.
Sakuraba suddenly realized that she had never defeated her.
It turns out that it was not someone else who harmed her, but her.
No! Not her either, but her own greed.
Perhaps because she "saw" what true despair was, Sakura figured out a lot of things in an instant.
She lost to her own greed. From the moment she used Bella to obtain several Herrscher "gems" and powers that did not belong to her from the "Honkai Will", her future "path" had already begun. It's doomed.
Sure enough, human beings' biggest enemy is themselves, and the person who really hurts them is themselves.
Since "Honkai Will" appeared, she has not looked at Sakura. She walked straight towards the incarnation of "Honkai", then took out a similarly faded dagger and inserted it into "Honkai"'s chest.
She is in charge of "truth."
Sakura seemed to see her own knife thrust into the chest of the Herrscher of the End. Unfortunately, "Honkai Will" was not her, and "Honkai" did not mean it was the Herrscher of the End.
At this point, she's just a loser.
However, at this moment, an accident occurred again. Honkai, who had no conscious thought, suddenly raised her right hand and grabbed the wrist of Honkai Will. At the same time, the corner of her mouth opened in a strange arc.
Then, a faded "long sword" about three meters long was inserted from behind the "throne" and instantly penetrated the chests of "Honkai" and "Honkai Will".
"Don't try to control the power that doesn't belong to you, otherwise it will harm yourself. This principle is used when hurting human beings. Why do you ignore it when it comes to you? Haha~"
Another "human" figure walked out from behind the "throne", also a faded "human" figure.
She looks very similar to Wutong, with the same smile on her face.
"!"
"Are you... Wutong?" Sakura looked wary and her tone was uncertain. Her body could move now.
"Inaccurate, in your understanding, I should be called..."will", free but not so free..."will". "Will" turned his head, looked at Sakura with a smile, and said.
