Chapter 322 - True Love
"It's not right."
"It's not right!"
"No matter what, it's not right!"
In the transport plane that was heading to Shanghai, Mikami Youya suddenly opened her eyes, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
Her pure white eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
Five times.
A total of five divinations.
At this moment, Shanghai should have been destroyed.
But the reality was... Shanghai was still intact.
The two Level 9 beasts in charge of flattening the city started fighting each other instead...
"Why?"
Mikami Youya looked helplessly at the ceiling of the transport plane.
Ever since she advanced to Level 9 and comprehended a trace of time, her 'divination' had never been wrong.
Because her divination was essentially seeing the 'history' of the future.
And history was impossible to change...
'Something must have gone wrong.'
'History will never change...'
She was silent for a long time.
Unwilling to give up, she closed her eyes again.
"Hu --"
Her dantian slowly rotated.
The dispersed force merged with the surrounding space in a magical way.
It caused the woman's eyes to gradually penetrate through the hazy 'screen window' and see the world of the future...
The destruction of the city walls, the large-scale deaths of martial artists, the breakthrough of the Beast Tide, the two Level 9 exotic beasts trampling on the city wantonly...
Everything was so clear.
Everything was crystal clear.
But reality...
Opening her eyes, Mikami Youya endured the pain in the depths of her mind, took out her tablet device, and clicked on the play button.
In the video, the two Level 9 exotic beasts were fighting in full swing.
This kind of scene had never appeared before in her 'premonition'...
"Why..."
Slowly covering her head, her state of mind collapsed.
The same world had actually developed two different ways.
This was a rather shocking shock to her, who firmly believed in 'time = history'.
Her worldview was almost destroyed...
"My Lord, are you alright?"
After a long while, a young man walked over and handed a white towel to Mikami Youya.
"Thank you."
After coming back to her senses, Mikami Youya took the towel and wiped the sweat off her face. After hesitating for a moment, she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Lord." The young man bowed. "What do you want to say?"
"Well... is there any new video about Shanghai?"
"Not at the moment." The young man shook his head. "There's no signal at the gathering point of the Beast Tide. Shanghai could only manually send the video footage to other cities and then send it over via signal. About half an hour later, the latest information will be sent over."
"Can you confirm that the videos sent by Shanghai are real?"
"I can confirm later."
"...Then I understand."
"My Lord." This time, it was the young man's turn to speak. "You..."
"Speak."
"Did your prediction fail?" the young man asked carefully.
"..." Mikami Youya was silent for a long time before nodding. "Yes. It failed."
"To what extent did it fail?"
"It completely failed." Mikami Youya raised her head and looked at the young man. "From this moment on, I will lose all my predictions for the future."
"Why... Why?"
"Because, the world has changed."
Hearing this, the young man was stunned. "Changed..."
"Yes." Mikami Youya turned her head and looked at the clouds outside the window. "From now on, this world has completely changed..."
...
"Come on!"
Dong!
Under Chen Yu's cheers, the 'Primeape' gorilla was knocked down for the third time. It crashed heavily into the sea, creating a hundred-meter-high wave.
"Woo woo --"
The heavily injured crocodile cried out tiredly. It raised its lower limbs, ready to 'end' the gorilla.
Chen Yu naturally stopped it again.
Although the crocodile was currently in a heavily injured state, it was still not something that those Level 8 martial artists in Shanghai could deal with.
He could not let the crocodile win so easily...
"The referee has entered the field. No one is allowed to attack if they faint!"
The crocodile: "..."
Plop.
Lying on top of Crocodile's head, Chen Yu slapped his arms with all his might. "Come on! You can do it! Countdown, 10,11,12,13..."
"Roar..."
The gorilla's skin and flesh were torn all over its body as it struggled in pain. "Roar! (I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it anymore.)"
"Don't give up!" Chen Yu encouraged it passionately. "Bing Bing, you still have me, you still have hope. In this world, only love is indestructible!"
The gorilla: "Roar..."
Chen Yu: "Think about me, think about our beautiful life, think about our children in the future!"
The gorilla:"..."
The crocodile: "..."
"Roar!"
With its eyes glowing red, the gorilla stood up once again and staggered towards the crocodile.
Chen Yu turned his head and said while sticking close to the crocodile's scalp, "Go! F*ck it! No beast can tear us apart."
The crocodile: "Woo woo woo! (Done)"
Dong!
Boom!
Duang.
Clang clang clang clang...
About thirty minutes later.
The gorilla was still no match for the crocodile and fell to the ground for the fourth time.
Plop.
This time, before the gorilla could lie on the surface of the water, the crocodile could not react either.
Chen Yu could not wait to lie down and pat his arm in an extremely professional referee position. "Countdown, 10, 11, 111, 1111... Bing Bing, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, you must stand up!"
The gorilla: "Roar... (I can't, I really can't do it anymore. I have to run away.)"
As it roared, it raised its trembling arm, tore open a crack in the void, and struggled to crawl in.
"Bing Bing!" Chen Yu bit his lips, his focused eyes filled with tears. "Are you going to leave me?"
"..."
The gorilla paused.
"You're betraying me."
The gorilla turned around. "..."
"Bing Bing, you have betrayed the promise between us."
"..."
"You can go." Chen Yu knelt on the ground, his eyes lifeless. "Just pretend that all our encounters never existed."
The hairless gorilla gritted its teeth, turned around, and crawled into the air. "Roar. (Sorry)"
"If life were only a few short years, I wouldn't complain."
Chen Yu laughed bitterly. "But... our love has not passed the test of time."
The gorilla trembled violently.
"You stopped." Chen Yu took a deep breath. "I knew you wouldn't betray me."
The gorilla turned around. Blood and tears mixed together and rolled down.
Chen Yu: "I won't force you. I just want to ask you... Do you still love me?"
Bing Bing: "..."
Chen Yu: "I want to ask you, do you still love me?"
Bing Bing's scarred body twitched slightly. "..."
"If, I'm still important to you. If, you still have feelings for me..." Standing up, Chen Yu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Then you're just like a f*cking man! Stand up! Continue to fight!"
The gorilla: "Roar..."
"When we meet on a narrow path, the brave will win! Nothing can stop the brave's tenacious soul. Only victory is worthy of great love!"
The gorilla: "Roar!"
Chen Yu roared, "Kill it!"
The gorilla: "Roar!!"
"Go!"
"Roar!!!"
The hairless gorilla was once again injected with chicken blood. It flipped over and stood up. Dragging its bloody intestines, it exploded with residual force and charged fearlessly at the crocodile!
The churning waves...
The crisscrossing force...
The spreading malevolence...
This was not a battle.
This was a living being who yearned for love with all its might!
"Bing Bing." Chen Yu gritted his teeth. "You are my hero. A true heroic hero!"
The gorilla: "Roar!"
The crocodile: "Woo! (Roar your mother!)"
Duang ~
The crocodile held its breath and raised its foot, kicking the gorilla over.
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "..."
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "...Hero! Stand up, Hero!"
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "Have you forgotten our oath again?"
The gorilla: "..."
...
A few dozen Li away.
In a corner of the ruined city wall.
The Principal of Beijing University looked at the exotic beast battlefield in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but palpitate.
"This..."
"What kind of blood feud is this?"
"To be able to make them fight so fiercely..."
He couldn't understand.
The intensity of this internal strife was much more brutal than that of humans...
"My Lord."
Not long after, the female assistant who was covered in mud stumbled over. She first followed the Principal's gaze and glanced at the surface of the sea, then quickly reported, "The casualty statistics have been released."
"How is it?"
"In that wave, a total of 362 people died, 33 are missing, and 107 are seriously injured."
"It's alright." The Principal of Beijing University heaved a sigh of relief. "It's not much."
"Yes." The female assistant nodded. "The spatial martial arts assistance of the Level 8 fighters is very timely, but it can't cover all of them."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Our Level 8 strength is limited." The Principal of Beijing University waved his hand and tiptoed. He looked at the coastline and said, "The Beast Tide that can still charge up seems to be running out."
"Yes." The female assistant hurriedly took out her tablet and operated it a few times before pulling out an electronic file. "According to the radar scan data of the measurement team, the number of beasts alive at the bottom of the sea is only about 7% of the total peak."
"The rest... are all dead?"
"Yes. They all died in the internal strife of the Level 9 exotic beasts."
"...The might of a Level 9 beast." The Principal of Beijing University narrowed his eyes. "It's really hard to imagine."
"If only we humans had such a strong Level 9 power." The female assistant licked her lips. "The most promising one should be Bahuang Yi."
"Then even if he grows up, there will only be one." The Principal of Beijing University sighed. "In such a large human race, apart from Bahuang Yi, there is actually no one who has the chance to fight against a Level 9 exotic beast... How sad."
"..." The female assistant felt the same way. After a moment of silence, she changed the topic. "Sir, now that the city walls have collapsed, should we retreat and rebuild the defense line?"
"En..." The Principal of Beijing University pondered for a moment and asked, "How much longer until that third-in-command from Japan arrives?"
"One hour."
"Then there's no need to rebuild the defense line. There's still 7% left, and there are even fewer who can kill their way over. It's enough to stay on the spot."
As he spoke, the Principal exploded with energy and roared, "Everyone, gather with me as the center!"
As he finished speaking, the martial artists gathered one after another.
The threat of the Beast Tide had basically been dealt with.
The next important thing was to resist the impact of the waves.
If everyone gathered at level one, the spatial crack created by a few Level 8 martial artists would be able to easily isolate all damage.
There was no need to spread out so much.
"Sir..."
Looking around and seeing more and more martial artists nearby, the female assistant's eyes shined. "We... are we considered to have won now?"
Hearing this, the Principal of Beijing University pondered for a long time and said faintly, "If one of those two Level 9 exotic beasts can die and one is on the verge of death... Then we will be considered to have truly won..."
...
On the vast ocean.
The strong winds gathered the dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds and the ocean, there was a gorilla that was 'flying' in pain.
"Too ruthless."
Chen Yu clicked his tongue and patted the crocodile's head. "It beat the sh*t out of it."
"Roar..." The gorilla choked and tried to move its huge body, trying to crawl back into the void crack.
"Bing Bing," Chen Yu shouted, "Are you going to abandon me again?"
The gorilla remained unmoved.
Even though its favorability towards Chen Yu had already soared to the max, however, with its will to survive, it still made the choice to survive.
"Bing Bing, do you know that once you leave, we will be over?"
The gorilla continued to crawl.
Chen Yu added, "It's really 'over', like we've never met before."
"..." The pair of torn ears of the gorilla quivered. It paused for a moment and continued to crawl toward the void.
Chen Yu was disappointed. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "You don't love me."
"Roar!" The gorilla turned its head unwillingly and roared furiously, "Roar! (I've already become like this due to this b*stard, and I still don't love you?)"
"This isn't love." Chen Yu took a step back and shook his head slowly. "Bing Bing, you don't know love."
"Roar!"
"...Oh." For some reason, the top of the crocodile's head turned green.
"True love is never a long-term relationship, nor is it a selfish possession." Chen Yu's eyes shone with a private light. "Mr. Lu Xun once said that true love is the Titanic."
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "It is short and fleeting."
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "It is sacrifice."
The gorilla: "..."
Chen Yu: "To put it more bluntly, you have to die here. That is what love is."
The gorilla: "..."
[Bing Bing Favorability -95]
[Bing Bing Favorability +55]
[Favorability +40]
[+0]
Staring at Chen Yu, the hairless gorilla's favorability rating, which had been lowered with great difficulty, increased once again. It could not help but put its hands on the bottom of the sea and stand up slowly.
"Yay!"
Chen Yu was excited and raised his hands high. "You are my hero!"
"Roar!!" The gorilla burst out its life potential and punched its chest. "Roar! (I am a hero.)"
"You can do it!" Clenching his fists, Chen Yu roared.
"For our regretless youth!"
"For our glorious years!"
"For our fleeting time!"
"For our love!"
"For the tribe!"
"Kill!!"
The gorilla: "Roar! (Kill!)"
Dong dong dong...
Spitting out mouthfuls of blood, the gorilla leaped over and ferociously charged at the crocodile.
The crocodile's body was also riddled with injuries.
However, it also had an existence that it had to protect!
Feeling the weight of the 'Prince Charming' above its head, the crocodile's heart felt warm, but its eyes were cold as it waited for the other party to attack.
Weng --
It was also at this moment that the white flames surrounding Chen Yu disappeared.
His focused eyes immediately returned to their original position.
Boom!
The two exotic beasts fiercely collided together, engaging in a frenzied battle.
As for Chen Yu, his eyes were lost in thought.
As if he had given up on his life's goal, he squatted down in a daze.
"I..."
"Motherf*cker..."
"He's having a love triangle with two exotic beasts..."
"Love triangle?!"
