Two weeks have passed since the end of the Alliance Civil War, and Hans feels like he is living in a dream every day.
When he was twelve years old, he watched Activision's legacy series "Hans and Friends" for the first time, and learned that he was the biological son of the leading actor "Old Hans". After that, he left the foster care center and began to work for " He prepared for the role of "Hans" until his official debut in the 124th episode. In the next more than 20 years, no matter where he appeared in the downtown area, he would be surrounded by countless fans, and countless girls would cry with joy because of his look in his eyes. , however, those cheers like a roar and a tsunami made him more and more bored.
He gradually understood that in the eyes of Xi'an or the higher-ups of the family, "Hans and His Friends" was just a tool to educate the people in the lower city, and "Hans" was just a marionette that could be replaced at any time.
Whenever "The End of the Show" tours, he stands on the stage overlooking the enthusiastic crowd, and he always feels a strong unwillingness. What he wants to do is not the protagonist of the TV series at all, but the protagonist of this era.
Nowadays, Hans is only one step away from making his dream come true. Sometimes, he even feels that he has become a real big shot. For example, he can represent human civilization to witness the coronation of the new Emperor Terence and be invited to attend the subsequent royal banquet. .
At this moment, the Imperial Palace is brightly lit, and the huge banquet hall is located at the highest point of the Imperial Palace like a bird's nest. You only need to raise your head slightly to see the spectacle of the sky.
Since Terencea's parent star is shaped like a donut, and the Imperial Palace is located in the habitable zone between the outer equator and the inner equator, as seen from the banquet hall, the main star is always rising and falling on the horizon, orbiting at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Imperial Palace rotates so that the sky always shows the cyan color of dawn, but there are thousands of stars overhead, symbolizing that this majestic palace is the place where stars shine first and is also the center of the entire universe.
The banquet hall was filled with people. Not only the leaders or high-level officials of all member civilizations of the alliance were present, but other carbon-based civilizations and civilizations with many other life forms also sent their representatives.
The sound of the Sayu Menqin was melodious, and the atmosphere of the banquet was harmonious and warm. It seemed that everyone had forgotten the civil war that had just ended.
In the crowd, Hans, who was in a suit and leather tie, was holding a glass of wine and looking at Shen Fei. Everywhere he looked, there were important leaders. He then looked at Yuan Quan, Andrea and Alu, who were also attending the meeting, and suddenly thought of , maybe this time when they go back, they can stand in front of the Xi'an Temple and accept the admiration of all mankind...
He drank the wine in one gulp. Although the palace wine was like juice, he felt that he was already drunk, intoxicated by the hot power.
At this time, there was a commotion in the hall, and the former Prince of Mass, now the "Emperor Mishelian", wearing a crown and a silver dress, slowly walked out from behind the curtain, holding Li Liang's arm with his right hand.
According to imperial practice, each generation of the Holy Emperor has an imperial companion and a personal attendant. The former carries on the family line, and the latter is the most trusted partner of the great emperor. In the past, most of the personal attendants came from the Pangbotan civilization or the Vulcan civilization, and This personal attendant is actually a human being, which means that in the next few hundred years, humans will gradually replace the Pangbotan civilization and become the closest "retainers" of the Yeshe Ya'an family.
The new emperor is stunningly beautiful and the demigod shines.
Hans got goosebumps all over his body and looked around excitedly, trying to see some appreciation or admiration in the eyes of the people around him. Unfortunately, the expressions of the "aliens" were abstract, and some did not have eyes at all.
The "Queen" who followed Emperor Mishelian was wearing a traditional royal cloak and silver armor, holding the emperor's skirt. On the other side, Cain was wearing a human-style evening dress and was tightly interlocked with Li Liang.
The four people walked toward the crowd and greeted the left and right. The atmosphere in the hall became more enthusiastic, and the music became louder and more exciting. It seemed that at this moment, all carbon-based civilizations were closely united together again.
Looking at the indifferent smile on Li Liang's face, Hans inexplicably remembered the scene two weeks ago.
They waited for Li Liang on the floating island of the Dark Spirit Nest. Cain came up to him and said something unknown. After hearing this, Li Liang lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Later, the group returned to the Nautilus. Ryo refused to take the pontoon boat, but walked alone on the landing platform for a long time.
Everyone followed from a distance, looking at Li Liang's back. No one knew what the supreme leader of mankind was thinking.
Hans recalled that a week ago, they went to the Human Expeditionary Force station. On the "Immortal" mothership, Li Liang held Bolsh's shoulders and stood outside the crowd talking in a low voice. At that time, Li Liang looked sad, and the two Days ago, after they arrived at the Terenza home planet, Li Liang held Cain's hand and stood under the majestic pillars of the Imperial Palace, looking at the stars rising and falling in the sky. Cain said, "It's almost dawn." At that time , Li Liang smiled.
Majesty or kindness, loneliness or joy, Hans found that he didn't understand Li Liang at all, but that didn't stop him from dreaming of becoming "Li Liang".
Thinking of this, he looked forward even more to the day when he would "return to his hometown".
When the news of victory spread back to the Avalon Concession, various spiritual core mines, and back to Earth, all mankind was waiting for their triumphant return.
Hans couldn't wait any longer.
——————————
The natural barrier between the Central Domain and the Void Domain - the Void Sea, Ikan Fortress.
Since Harlan Potter single-handedly defeated the Lord of the Void, the coalition forces of Law and Order have continuously strengthened the Icahn defense line and regained control of the Void Sea. Most of the garrison has been transferred to the "Gate of Makanoi" in order to In response to counterattacks from the void domain at any time, Icahn Fortress, as the frontline headquarters of the coalition forces, has returned to its former deserted state.
The "Void Realm Research Institute" established under the leadership of the Ministry of Magic is located deep in the fortress. The huge room is filled with information about the Void Realm. Research results.
At this moment, a thick black mist lingers between the books and bottles and cans. Countless fluorescent tentacles poke out from the black mist, constantly taking and putting back information.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far away, and a figure rushed into the room, shouting in Tifa secret language: "It's over, the war is over, Mass has won the throne."
The black mist shook, and a soft voice came out: "Bond, the war has just begun."
"Huh~huh~" Bond gasped, holding the stack of books with one hand and taking off his hat with the other hand, "Although I personally hate this sentence very much, you are right, Master Disal, war It’s just the beginning, and the Central Empire has already declared war on the Nordrassil Council and the Pantheon.”
A tentacle slowly stretched out and touched Bond's chest. Dododisar's voice sounded in his mind: "The new leader of the alliance seems to have reached a tacit understanding with Emperor Haotian, trying to establish a new order through a war."
"But I always feel..." Bond "said" in his heart, "This is not like Emperor Haotian's style. The Central Empire has never launched such a... um... hasty war, and everyone is talking about it. A new order, but I feel that given the current living environment of carbon-based life, there is no need to establish a new order."
"What are you worried about, Tifami?"
"My spies told me that Angsa lost the war because he and his hapless allies were deceived by some guy. You know who I'm talking about. That guy made Angsa mistakenly believe that the Central Imperial Dynasty From his side, this is simply the most ridiculous misjudgment in history. Although Angsa is reckless, he is not that stupid. Besides, his personal entourage is the 'Vulcan Brain', how could he commit such a low-level behavior? mistake?"
"so……"
"So Angsa must have seen conclusive proof, but I don't understand what kind of proof that would be."
"Are you doubting Harlan Potter?"
"Can you say his name silently? I don't know magic, but he has just become a demigod."
"no need to worry."
"Oh, well, I suspect Harlan Potter is carrying out a very dangerous plan, and this plan may start earlier than anyone expects."
Dodo Disal fell into silence for a long time, and Bond became inexplicably nervous. He stared into the depths of the black mist and waited again and again. When he could hardly hold back his voice, the voice appeared again in his mind:
"Bond, Harlan Potter has never allowed me to leave the Icahn defense line. The only reason I can think of is that he doesn't want me to see Li Liang. If he is carrying out a plan, then Li Liang must be the key to it. part of it.”
"Now Li Liang has become a personal attendant of Mass, and his name is mentioned in almost every article." Bond took out a copy of the "Macosik Times" from his handbag and shook it. "I very much agree with your guess. The facts are Since Li Liang appeared, I feel like something is wrong in the entire spiritual world. "
"You are free to leave the Ikan Line, so, Tifami, I need your help."
"You want me to go find Li Liang?"
"No, go to Capital Yujing to meet Emperor Haotian."
"Why?"
"Since this period of time, I have been constantly searching for information about the Lord of the Void. In some fragments, I vaguely noticed that the unique life born in the Void Realm seemed to possess the power of balance, and displayed some of its characteristics... and order. There are some striking similarities among the eight pristine beings governed by God.”
"Harlan Potter believes in the God of Order..."
"Yes, I once thought that this was the key to Harlan Potter defeating the Lord of the Void, but your doubts reminded me that the person who chose Harlan Potter as a demigod...may not be the God of Order."
Bond was stunned on the spot, his face turned pale, and his handbag dropped to the ground.
"No matter what, we must let the emperor of the Central Dynasty, the most powerful magician in the spiritual world, know about this, and you must meet him in secret and tell him personally."
"But, but, how could Emperor Haotian believe what I said?"
"You just need to prove to him that you are Li Liang's closest friend."
"What?"
"I once saw some secrets deep in Li Liang's memory, including his special relationship with Emperor Haotian."
"Okay, okay, Master Disal..." Bond hesitated.
"I feel your fear. Yes, there is a more terrifying situation. Even just thinking about it makes me despair."
Bond was stunned, with an unprecedented hesitation on his face.
