Chapter 634: Commander's Identity?

"Musashi, the explanation you just gave to the Commander and Nagato and the others is not the main point of why you stay here to find me."

After Lin Lan, Nagato and the others left, Yun Xian and Musashi stood side by side in front of the sacred tree surrounding the light spot of the power of faith within the barrier of the sacred tree.

The first person to speak was the great sage Yun Xian.

The blue butterfly on the bangs of her white hair with purple highlights flapped its wings and flew to the tips of her fingers.

Although there was no emotion in her tone, her purple eyes no longer had the gentleness they had when they looked at Lin Lan just now, but were as calm as still water in a deep pool.

She exuded an invisible, ethereal aura that seemed to isolate her from the world.

If Lin Lan were here, he would definitely find that Yun Xian's feeling of not belonging to the mortal world was even worse than before.

Compared to being a ship girl, if I insist on saying so, Unzen's current temperament is more like...

Like a god looking down at the mortal world.

Musashi seems to have been accustomed to Unzen's temperament for a long time. Rather, this is the normal state of this great sage of Sakura.

Only when facing the commander, this ethereal temperament in Unzen will dissipate, revealing the gentle side of a ship girl.

So after hearing Yun Xian's words, Musashi turned around, focused his eyes on the great sage in front of him, and asked in a serious tone:

"Unzen, do you know what a hero is, why a commander becomes a hero, and why are those young people searching for traces of a hero?"

"..."

Although Yun Xian still looked calm after listening to Musashi's words, as if there was no surprise.

But the fluorescent blue butterfly that was flapping its wings on her fingertips slowly closed its wings and stopped moving.

Silence, a long silence.

In the entire space, except for the light spots of the power of faith surrounding the huge sacred tree, everything seemed to be frozen.

Musashi's golden eyes stared intently at Unzen, silently explaining her firm determination to get the answer.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Unzen waved his hand and released the blue butterfly on his fingertips.

The great sage Chongying slowly turned around, met Musashi's eyes, and said calmly:

"Musashi, there are many things about Commander-in-Chief that cannot be easily explained."

"The only thing I can tell you is that Commander-in-Chief... no matter what he becomes, whether he is a hero or anything else, he is still the person we love most."

Yun Xian's voice was very calm, but beneath the calmness, there was no doubt about what she said.

The two looked at each other. Musashi seemed not to be satisfied with Unzen's answer and spoke again:

"In order to capture the commander, Strenkus and Tempalans of the Arbitration Agency isolated the entire United States of Oran and started a war with the White Eagle camp."

"At that time, Strenkus said this to the commander: He cannot forget his past and his mission."

"Both the purifiers and purifiers of the experimental institution have no hostility towards the commander. The purifiers even gave the commander the authority to control the siren fleet."

"I saw with my own eyes that the Purifier easily handed over the authority to the commander, as if... it was like the authority that the commander originally had."

"Obviously in our memories, since the commander established the port area, even if they are not in the same world as us, we have never had such a close relationship with the sirens."

Musashi recalled the information she got from the White Eagle camp when she participated in the White Eagle camp's post-war review on the Shinyang artificial island, as well as what she said and heard at the Siren Fortress.

Her tone became more and more solemn, and the look on her face became more and more worried.

And after saying all this, the battleship fox lady finally expressed her most worrying question:

"As the Heart of the Sea, you have met the Commander in countless possible worlds. What exactly happened to the Commander?"

After hearing what Musashi said, Yun Xian's originally calm face finally showed some fluctuations.

"As expected of Lord Musashi, he was able to deduce all this through these clues and come to me for the answer."

Yun Xian could tell from Musashi's eyes that if she didn't tell Musashi what she knew today, he would never leave.

So after she let out a long sigh, she finally seemed to have made a decision in her heart and said to Musashi:

"Lord Musashi, I think you also know that before I acquired the concept of Unzen, I always existed as the will of Hai Ruo."

"And I have also explained to you where Hairuo comes from and what it is. Do you still remember it?"

Although Musashi didn't understand why Unzen suddenly mentioned the past, he still answered without thinking:

"The bright stars fall, darkness descends from the shadows, the stars burn themselves and banish the darkness."

"One of those stars is Hai Ruo, the great sage who has fought with the invisible breath of his shadow for several reincarnations and possibilities."

After hearing Musashi's answer, Yun Xian nodded slightly, then sighed and said:

"Even after so long, Master Musashi still remembers it so clearly..."

"I am different from you. I was not awakened from the Mind Cube by the Commander. I was found by the Commander with the help of the connection between the Mind Cube and my ship's equipment."

After finishing speaking, Yun Xian looked away from Musashi, raised his head, and looked at the huge sacred tree in front of the two of them.

"Master Musashi, you are right. I have seen the Commander in many possibilities."

"It is precisely because of the belief that I will always be with the Commander that I have the determination to cut off my own shadow in the battle with the invisible breath that is about to break free from the seal."

"But Master Musashi, have you ever thought about why I can so easily merge with the ship equipment you gave me, become an existence like you, and exist in the world as a 'ship'?"

For this point, Musashi had already guessed it. When asked by Yunxian, she slowly said her answer:

"The energy of Hai Ruo that fell from the starry sky and the energy in the mind cube... are also from the same source."

Yunxian looked at Musashi with some surprise, but she soon realized that this was not a difficult conclusion to analyze.

As the one who provided her with the ship equipment, Musashi probably had already made a guess.

"Since Lord Musashi has guessed it, I won't keep you in suspense."

"Our commander..."

At this point, Yunxian looked at Musashi with a complicated expression, and slowly said a possibility that she herself seemed unwilling to believe:

"His existence is likely to come from the same origin as these energies. He was not simply separated from us by a world."

"Well, to use the more appropriate words I learned from the White Eagle camp, maybe he is from a higher dimension than us."

After Yunxian finished speaking, she looked at the somewhat dazed Musashi and smiled gently:

"Of course, all this is just my guess, but now that the commander has returned, he is still the same person, and can accompany us as before, that's enough, isn't it?"
