Chapter 19:
"You want to know!"
Instead of answering Hong Tai's question, Kushima said to Hong Tai.
"Of course, I want to know everything about your plan.”
Hong Tai looked at Wu Dao and said.
"Then follow me!"
Kumehiro turned around and walked towards a certain direction.
"Where are you taking me?"
Hong Tai walked for a while and asked Wu Dao Gui Hu.
"Cut the crap. We're almost there. Of course, if you're afraid of finding out the truth, you can leave.”
Wudao Guihu stopped in his tracks and said to Hong Tai.
"I'm not afraid, but you're just investigating this forest. Do you control this forest? Why?"
Hong Tai swallowed his saliva and asked Wu Dao Gui Hu.
"That's for the sake of humanity. If it were your friend, he would never ask such a question.”
Wudao Guihu continued to walk forward with his back facing Hong Tai.
"Are you referring to You? You would say that?"
Hong Tai asked him when he heard Kouri Takeshi's words.
"Let's not talk about this. Look."
Kushima stopped in his tracks. He did not answer Hong Tai's question and only pointed downwards.
"What?"
Hong Tai's eyes widened as he looked down. Those were houses that were wrapped in the vegetation of the netherworld of Heim. They looked like high-rise buildings now, but there was no one there.
"In the past, there should have been creatures like humans living here. They lived here, built cities, and established civilization.”
Nobuhito said as he looked down at the city.
"Why is this happening? Where are the humans living here?”
Hong Tai took two steps forward and looked at the city below as he asked Kouri Island.
"You should have seen it too! What would happen to the person who ate the fruit of this world? The monsters we call the Outlanders are the intelligent humans and animals that used to live here.”
Nobuhito looked at the city below and replied. Then, he led Hong Tai to another place.
"Where is this place?"
Hong Tai looked at the broken house, the old stone table, and the old bowls and chopsticks as he asked Kouri Takeshi.
"This is the place where the intelligent people of this world originally lived.”
Wudao Guihu looked at Hong Tai in disbelief.
"Why is this happening? Will Earth be destroyed like this?”
Hong Tai asked Wu Dao Gui Hu.
"That's right. According to the experts, in ten years, our world will be covered by this forest and become the new Underworld of Heim.”
Wudao Guihu walked to Hong Tai's side and said.
"Why, why did you hide such an important thing?”
"Can you imagine how much panic it will cause once the public knows the results? People would turn into thugs who only cared about protecting themselves and did not care about anything else. There was no need for Heim to invade the Underworld, and the species would self-destruct.”
Wudao Guihu said to Hong Tai.
"No, as long as people know everything, they will definitely be able to unite.”
Hong Tai said excitedly to Wu Dao Gui Hu.
"As expected, he's still a child! They did not understand the bad habits of humans at all.”
Wudao Guihu said disdainfully to Hong Tai.
"But…"
"There are no buts. Since you don't understand, leave the operation to save this world to us.”
Kushima interrupted Hong Tai and left without looking back.
Only Hong Tai was still looking at the ruins in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
………………
Xia You came to the seaside and looked at Hong Tai, who was not thinking about anything.
"Hey, why are you looking for me?”
Xia You walked down the steps and quietly walked to Hong Tai's side, placing her hand on Hong Tai's shoulder.
"Ah, it's you, Yu."
Hong Tai seemed to have jumped, but only recovered when he found out that it was Xia You.
"That…the white armored knight told me about Heim's Underworld. I really want to talk to someone, but I don't know if I should tell you.”
Hong Tai glanced at Xia You and paused for a moment before continuing,
"It's about Heim's Underworld invading Earth, right?”
Xia You walked to the steps and sat on it. She looked at Hong Tai and said affirmatively.
"What? Yes! How did you know?"
Hong Tai asked him in confusion after learning about the Heim Underworld from Xia You.
"Ah, I knew it a long time ago."
Xia You looked at Hong Tai and said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid? You'll die if you're not careful."
Hong Tai looked at Xia You and said excitedly.
"I'm not afraid. As for dying? Impossible, I won't die in this life. I won't die no matter who dies. My journey has just begun. I won't die. Besides, my survival skills are top-notch. If I can't beat him, can't I run?”
Xia You looked at the excited Hong Tai, shook her hand and said indifferently.
"Run! Where are you running to? They were invading Earth! Where can you run to?"
Hong Tai rushed in front of Xia You and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.
"You don't have to worry about that. I can definitely escape. Besides, I don't need to run, okay? Other than my lack of combat experience, I can't defeat anyone. Alright, I'm going to find Wu.”
Xia You remembered that she had Dark·Decades and the ultimate form of the other knights. Xia You stood up and patted her clothes that were not stained with mud on the steps just now.
"Uh, I got it. I also have an appointment with Pete. You can go first.”
Hong Tai glanced at Xia You and said to his friend who seemed to have never understood him.
"Then, goodbye!"
Xia You waved her hand at Hong Tai, turned around, and ran into the distance.
………………
"Brother, why did you tell Ge Ye Hongtai the secret?”
Mitsumi, who had just parted ways with Khota, came to the office of the World Tree, Takejima, and asked.
"Yes, because there aren't many people who can vent their anger on something that they think is evil.”
Kirito put down the document in his hand and replied to Mitsumi.
"Eh? Brother, what do you mean?"
Mitsumi asked, not understanding what Takashi Kushima meant.
"I'm joking."
Nozomi looked at Mitsumi and joked with him.
"You only told him about Heim's Underworld, right? The Scalar System and the Sky Arc System had not been told to him, right?”
Mitsumi glanced at Takashi and walked up to him. He propped his left hand on the table and looked at him.
"Don't be silly. I won't tell outsiders about these important things.”
Nobuhito looked at his younger brother and said.
"Okay, I know. Just don't tell him too much. We don't know what he will do.”
Hikari looked out the window, turned around, and walked out. He picked up the table he had placed on the sofa.
"You seem to have some expectations for that Ge Ye Hong.”
Sid looked at the closed door and said to Takashi.
"Anticipation?"
Takashi asked.
"Hmm, that joke just now wasn't like you.”
Sid replied.
"That's true. However, that kind of man should have a taste of despair. That way, I can also abandon the trace of hope that still exists in me.”
Kitagawa pushed his chair away and stood up. He turned around and looked at Zeya City outside.
"Hey, hey, are you still confused?”
Sid turned around and asked.
"That's right! However, what I feel in my heart is more of a realization. Because I am the leader."
"What if Ge Yexie still doesn't give up and doesn't run away? He might become your enemy.”
Sid got up from the sofa and took a few steps forward.
"Ah, there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as he doesn't disturb our plan, we don't have to worry about him.”
Takashimaya glanced at Sid and replied.
………………
To eliminate the family
"Sister Jing, I'm here."
Xia You opened the door of Hong Tai's house and said to Ge Yejing in the kitchen.
"Ah, You, you're here. Hurry up and sit down. Dinner is about to start.”
Ge Yejing came out of the kitchen and said to Xia You.
"Yes, I did."
Xia You sat on the dining table and looked at Ge Yejing.
"Yes, sit tight. I must let you taste my cooking.”
"Yes, Sister, why did You come to our house?”
Hong Tai glanced at Xia You and walked towards Ge Yejing.
"You mean this! Didn't You save me last time? I thought about it and decided to thank him today.”
"Yes, I understand. Speaking of which, Sister hasn't asked me why you were kidnapped last time.”
"It's good that you know. Sister thought that as long as Hongtai can protect herself, Sister will be at ease.”
"Big sister."
"Alright, go and chat with You. Dinner will be ready in a while.”
"Yes."
Hong Tai quickly sat on the chair and started chatting with You.
Soon, Ge Yejing placed the dishes on the table.
"Alright, the food is ready. Everyone, eat while it's hot!”
Ge Yejing glanced at Xia You and said.
"Ah, I know."
Xia You nodded.
"That…Sister, if someone said that the world was destroyed, what would you do?”
Hong Tai glanced at Xia You and felt that it was better to ask his sister this question.
"What can I do? I can only pray to the gods!”
"Then isn't it better to not know?”
"Well, maybe some people will think so! But I don't think so."
"Really?"
"Really, because this is my own life. No matter what, I have to face it well until the last moment. By the way, don't just ask me, you've forgotten about me. You, if the world is destroyed, what will happen to you?”
Ge Yejing replied to Hong Tai's question and asked Xia You.
"Yes, I will protect this world from being destroyed. Because someone important to me is here."
"You, is that what you think?"
Hong Tai heard Xia You's question and asked her.
"Yes."
"Protect this world from destruction? I understand."
Hong Tai muttered. No one saw that the confusion in his eyes was getting lesser and lesser.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's eat.”
Ge Yejing interrupted Hong Tai's thoughts and said to him.
"Yes, I understand, Sister."
Hearing his sister say this, Hong Tai could only stop his thoughts and start eating. After a while, he started chatting with Xia You and his sister.
