Chapter 52 Determination
Three days have passed since then.
After their journey from Jupiter, the girls and the survivors returned to the defense base on the Moon.
Rescuing so many survivors should have been a great victory in the war, but Lonis couldn’t bring herself to be happy.
Because…
Isumi, senpai, had completely disappeared.
There wasn’t even a body, nor was there a funeral to be held, as Isumi hadn’t returned to the real world at all.
“I…”
Lonis looked at her own hands, and a dizziness involuntarily flashed through her mind.
Although this wasn’t the first time she had experienced such a thing, Lonis had never imagined that Isumi would leave like this.
Lonis remembered that when she and Elus were lost when General Tass was dejected, it was Isumi and Mi Xue Zhou, senpai, who found them and tried to comfort them.
And now…
“Damn it!”
Lonis struck the wall with her finger, but it couldn’t change the fact that had already happened.
She could only replace her sadness with anger, and try to numb herself, not to think about those pessimistic things…
However, Lonis had promised everyone that she would do her best to protect them, but now she had broken her promise.
(Lonis, think of a solution… What kind of hero are you like this.)
…
Lonis slowly closed her eyes, and just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Who… who is it?”
“It’s me, Zhou Sumeng, Komoe.”
“Mm…”
…
Lonis took a deep breath, bringing her expression back to calm. Since Komoe was not involved in this matter, Lonis did not want her mood to affect her.
“Komoe, what is it?”
“Um, Miss Lonis. Miss Elus asked me to invite you to a meeting.”
“Elus, mm… I understand.”
…
When Elus’s name was mentioned, Lonis felt restless.
She knew that as a hero, and as Elus’s partner, she should be the one to stand up at this time, comfort Elus and the others not to be sad, and strive to look forward.
However, if she herself was immersed in this situation, how could she comfort everyone?
So, in the past few days, she and Elus had not said much to each other. They only quietly snuggled together when they slept.
Lonis naturally understood Elus’s feelings, but it was precisely because she understood that she only felt a heart-wrenching helplessness.
Because…
From a fate perspective, Isumi, senpai, was destined to die here.
Why was this happening?
Because the Supreme beings feared the power from the Rainbow Abyss—this was a special power that transcended time, and if it were to gather in one place, the existence of the Supreme beings might be directly eliminated.
Therefore, the Supreme beings wanted to annihilate the power of the Rainbow Abyss and kill the girls’ companions.
Among them, Lonis, as a hero, was naturally the greatest threat. She was also the direct owner of the Rainbow Abyss’s power. It could be said that if Lonis died, the power of the Rainbow Abyss would completely collapse.
However, Lonis had the attribute of immortality since she was born.
Annihilating Lonis was not an easy task. Therefore, Isumi, who also posed a great threat, became the target of the Supreme beings.
Because in the Rainbow Abyss, Isumi’s direct combat power was the second weakest, but her excellent observation skills had repeatedly helped the girls escape danger, and even allowed her to observe the predicament of the Supreme beings.
Therefore, the Supreme beings laid a trap on the girls’ inevitable path to eliminate Isumi, senpai.
Although Luo Bei had warned Isumi “in advance” using clues from a treasure map, even knowing the future, Isumi could not avoid it at all.
Because the girls had to obtain the Ring of Fate, otherwise they would not even be able to reassemble the symbols on the rock wall, nor save the soldiers of the X-12 fortress, and even more people would die.
At the same time, Isumi could not just watch Luo Bei die.
Because if Luo Bei died, then Zhisheng Luo would not even be born.
…
Precisely because of this, all the causes and effects seemed to form a closed loop. Neither Elus nor Lonis could intervene at all.
The loss of Isumi was also a huge blow to the girls, because it meant that the Rainbow Abyss power could not be perfected—although Lonis still had the Crystal Staff, it was incomparable to the senpai’s observation skills.
(No, it’s not time to give up yet, the Rainbow Abyss is synonymous with miracles… As long as I keep moving forward, I will surely find a way.)
…
Lonis took a deep breath and walked into the conference room with Komoe.
She decided that she couldn’t continue to be depressed like this—she didn’t believe that Isumi, senpai, had died just like that, so she had to do her best to find that only possibility.
However, the moment Lonis pushed the door open.
She was stunned.
Because what stood in the room was not Elus, but a beautiful girl with silvery-white hair.
Is…
Is it His Highness Ruo Hui Gong?
At first, Lonis thought that Ruo Hui Gong had arrived at the conference room early… because in her impression, only His Highness Ruo Hui Gong would show that kind of elegant, enchanting, pure, and mature charm.
However, the person in front of her was not a man, but a real beautiful girl.
Her flowing silver-white hair scattered, like falling cherry blossoms. Although Lonis only saw her back, she felt a cold aura similar to Elus.
So…
It was obvious who this person was.
…
“Senior Tsukimi Shimo… Is it you?”
What Ruo Hui Gong said was indeed true, Tsukimi Shimo was Tsukimi Shimo, and when she saw her, there was no need for introduction to recognize her identity.
Hearing Lonis’s voice, the silver-haired girl was startled:
“Mm, is it the hero Lonis?”
…
Tsukimi Shimo’s attitude was not as cold as her appearance suggested. She turned around with a slight apology and gazed at Lonis with her clear eyes without any concealment.
“I’m sorry, I was thinking about something earlier and didn’t notice the arrival of the hero.”
“Ah, no… it’s okay. Senior Tsukimi Shimo, are we holding a meeting here?”
If it were a normal day, Lonis would have blushed when facing such a beautiful married woman and started thinking about lewd things. However, perhaps because her mood had been somewhat bad recently, Lonis didn’t even have the interest in lewd things.
Tsukimi Shimo nodded, “Yes, Zijing has detected the third wave of offensive from the Supreme civilization. And this attack is unusual, it’s likely to be the final offensive from the Supreme civilization.”
“Final offensive…”
“But before that, I have something to tell you, the hero. This matter is of utmost importance, and only you can know it.”
“Only I can know? Elus can’t know either?”
Lonis looked at Tsukimi Shimo again, but Tsukimi Shimo’s expression remained without any hesitation:
“Mm, because this matter concerns cause and effect, and only the keeper of fate can know. Therefore, I hope you can conceal this matter as much as possible, and this is for Elus’s own good.”
“I understand… Please tell me.”
“Mm, the situation is actually like this. I heard about Miss Isumi…”
