Chapter 1496 Vivian’s Progress

The moment Vivian woke up, the entire time and space stopped, and then gradually dissipated like a dream.

Rome disappeared, and the falling Olympus was also stained with a layer of gray-white before being broken down into the most basic information units, the temple of Poseidon, the legion of demon hunters, the network of light paths covering the sky...

Everything solidified in an instant and was gradually swallowed by darkness. Just like every time we looked back, in the end, only the temple hall where Hao Ren and his party were located remained, and it turned into a stagnant time and space with only black, white and gray colors.

Hasselblad, who was being chased all over the hall, was finally able to stop. He took a breath, turned to look at the several Olympians who had stopped, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "We have caught up."

Vivian shook her head from side to side twice, as if she still had some aftereffects after being awakened from the previous hazy state. Then she saw the collapsed and dilapidated temples around her and the stationary Olympus "gods", and she couldn't help but feel... There was a trace of nostalgia: "Have you come to the day when Olympus was destroyed..."

Hao Rengang nodded subconsciously, and then reacted: "Wait! Do you know the current situation?"

"Thanks to your efforts," Vivian smiled slightly, confirming Hao Ren's guess, "You have continued to find my strength and soul fragments, and finally loosened the suppression of me in this distorted time and space. I can now contact As for the fragments that have been awakened by you... although they are still a little blurry, at least the memories can be continued."

This is really unexpected good news. Before Hao Ren said anything, Lily, who was standing next to him, jumped up and down: "Ouch! At least this time I don't have to explain the world view to you again every time!"

Vivian didn't say anything, just smiled slightly and turned to look beside her. She saw Hessiana looking at her excitedly, as if she was ready to pounce at any time, while on the other side of her stood someone who had been silenced by time and space. Little Hesiana stuck down: The little bat spirit still maintained the appearance of the last moment when time and space were still. She was hiding next to Vivian, with a look of nervousness and excitement on her face. The little one was not afraid of the crowd of people in front of her at all. When the fight suddenly broke out, he seemed extremely happy because he could watch the fun in his mother's arms.

He looked like a little kid who just watched the fun and didn't mind the trouble.

After watching like this for a while, a complicated expression suddenly appeared on Vivian's face. She gently stroked little Hesiana's head with her hand, as if murmuring to herself: "Yes, I forgot about you back then." Rome…I forgot about it for many years before I remembered it.”

"Lord Vivian..." Hesiana finally couldn't help but speak softly after seeing this scene, and showed a rare hesitation, "I..."

"You suffered a lot when you were a child," Vivian waved to Hesiana, "Actually, I sent you to the shelter later just because I didn't want you to continue to suffer. You know, it's impossible to live with me. The stability..."

Hesiana probably didn't expect that Vivian would take the initiative to let her get closer, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and threw herself into Vivian's arms: "Wow - Mom -"

"It's been a long time since I heard you call me that," Vivian's expression was a little embarrassed. Being held by Hesiana and wiping her tears and nose made her even more uncomfortable, but in the end she just patted her. The little bat spirit's head said, "Forget it, just this time."

Lily poked Hao Ren's arm: "Look, landlord, I just said Vivian is an empty-nest old bat. Look at the atmosphere around her."

Hao Ren curled his lips: "It took a lot of effort for mother and daughter to repair their relationship, so don't complain."

Hesiana did not lose control for too long. In other words, serving as the leader of the clan for many years has allowed her to develop a very strong psychological quality. She can clearly distinguish priorities under any circumstances. She knows that Vivian's time in this time and space is very limited. , so he quickly adjusted his emotions and reluctantly raised his head from Vivian's arms: "Lord Vivian, how much strength have you recovered?"

She even changed the title of Vivian back - not for any other reason, but because she had used this title for more than a thousand years, and it was more familiar to her. As for the "mom" just now, it was just because of her mood. Just venting out of excitement.

"It's difficult to describe to you the battle that takes place in the deepest realm. My power keeps recovering, but the dark and corrupt factors are rooted deep in my soul. It is also robbing those powers that keep returning. I become stronger. , it can also become stronger, so it is not so much a battle, it is more like a constant struggle. We are all striving to hold more power in our own hands to gain the final dominance," Vivian Patting Hesiana on the head, she turned to look at Hao Ren, "But don't worry, I'm sure of victory."

Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first half of Vivian's description. He thought that the power fragments he had collected during the retracement process were also strengthening the corrupted side of Vivian's soul. But when he heard He was surprised later: "Are you sure of victory?"

"I have always regarded the corrupt side of my soul as another self. Even if it is chaotic, I also regard it as an evil enemy with an independent 'personality', but not long ago I discovered that it has actually been It's dead. Although I don't know how it died, I found that it can only operate according to a complex but fixed set of logic. I stimulate it and it makes a fixed counterattack, just like..."

"Like a computer?" Hao Ren blinked. He didn't expect that Vivian had such a complicated "inside story" deep in her soul, but in any case, what he heard now was good news, "So what do you mean? Have you found the true nature of the corrupt aspect in your soul and figured out its laws of activity?"

"I've just mastered some of the rules and guessed its essence. I'm still a little far away from finding the entity of that thing," Vivian said lightly, but with full confidence in her tone, "I will be able to completely solve it soon." Dig it out... No matter how deep that thing is rooted in my soul, I want to let it know who is the real owner of this place."

Seeing Vivian's confident performance, Hao Ren could believe that the other party was definitely not saying this to comfort him.

"Then I wish you all the best," he nodded, "I will continue to go back and try to send all your power back as soon as possible - this way it will be easier for you to win."

Vivian hummed and suddenly looked at Hao Ren with a bright smile: "Then... see you in the next era."

Then she looked at Hesiana: "You too, you have to protect yourself in the dream. I hope you are still there when I wake up next time..."

Just like every hurried meeting after successful backtracking, Vivian's awakening this time was still quite short. The distorted time and space resisted her and quickly rejected her. In just a few words, she was already a An almost transparent shadow.

However, after experiencing this scene many times, Hao Ren has been able to face it calmly. He believes that the separation is only temporary. Soon, he will be able to permanently save Vivian from this long and twisted dream. come out.

He was convinced of this.

Vivian's aura finally disappeared completely, but Hesiana was still looking ahead blankly. Hao Ren was afraid that something might happen to the little bat spirit, so he quickly waved his hand in front of her: "Hey, wake up, wake up. Wake up—are you okay?”

Hesiana was startled, and suddenly she started talking like a demon: "She said she still wants to see me when she wakes up next time. She said she still wants to see me when she wakes up next time... Lady Vivian said she still wants to see me. Oh my! She said she still wants to see me!"

The little bat spirit became louder and louder as he spoke, and in the end he was dancing and shouting.

Hao Ren looked confused: "...as for what?"

On the other side, as Vivian left, the figure of Hesperus suddenly shook among a group of Olympians who looked like stone statues.

The next second, the gray-white figure was suddenly dyed with vivid colors, and Hesperius successfully "smuggled" into this distorted time and space as Hao Ren expected.

"Hey, I kept you waiting," the dusk goddess raised her hand to greet Hao Ren and Hesiana, then looked around, "Where's that damn Hasselblad?"

Hasselblad walked up with a righteous face: "I'm here - but we agreed to let bygones be bygones and this time it's just a mirror image of history..."

Well, he is not righteous at all, Ling Ran, he just has facial paralysis so he can't see any guilt.

Hesperus looked at Hasselblad with a dead smile: "We have ceased war, but I have been dragged into this history again, so now I look at your face and it is really uncomfortable -"

Hasselblad: "Okay, I understand your feelings, but if you still want to take revenge, I hope you can do it after you leave here - the earth is about to end outside, so you can't take revenge now, right?"

Hesperius stared at Hasselblad for a long time, and finally waved his hand impatiently: "Hey - I'm annoyed when I see your face, but I am more or less familiar with it, so just don't get in my way."

Hao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this: what he was most worried about just now was the relationship between Hesperus and Hasselblad after Hesperus came in. Although the camp to which they belonged had signed a truce agreement in the real world outside, the truce agreement It's one thing, personal relationships are another. In addition, Hesperus entered this time and space at the moment when Olympus was destroyed. There was no guarantee that she wouldn't be hurt by the memory of the situation. The problem of national hatred and family hatred has affected the stability of the team, but now it seems that all kinds of worries can be put aside: after all, the Hesperius of the 21st century is not the newcomer of krypton gold in 44 BC, and she still knows the general situation well. .

Thinking of this, Hao Ren couldn't help but feel a little emotional: Alas, the composition of the team is complicated, and the team is difficult to lead. In contrast, the team of a bunch of tenants at home is more worry-free, whether it is a dog or a dog A male-female combination, a fish-dog combination, a cat-dog-fish combination, or...

By the way, why can’t dogs be avoided no matter which combination?
