Alien Knights

"You mean the world is going to end? Everything will be destroyed?!"

Ayesha, who had just regained some consciousness, suddenly heard the bad news from Rachel's mouth and was once again shocked.

Evie frowned, lost in thought.

After a while, she said: "Assuming what you said is true, then as long as Sutherland is prevented from winning the Battle of God's Choice, the end of the world will not happen."

Rachel shook her head: "You don't understand the source of the contradiction. Even if we can prevent Sutherland from becoming a god, the end of the world will still come because the entire world has been occupied by the undead. The Presbyterian Church has spent decades Time to investigate the dangers of the undead. Those black plagues have spread to every corner of the world, including the deep sea and the underground."

Evie looked at Rachel: "And you already knew these facts?"

Rachel whispered: "I know you want to accuse me...but if I tell all this, how will it help the situation? Confusion? Panic?"

Evie did not refute and confirmed Rachel's guess with silence.

After an awkward look, Evie said: "At least you should tell him the truth. Todd has the right to know everything."

Rachel smiled bitterly and said: "If I tell him, it will be easy for you and me to guess his decision. He will choose to fight with Muxi City and his people to the end, even if it leads to destruction."

Evie: "Whether you fight the truth until the last moment, or live with lies and regret for the rest of your life, isn't it obvious which one is more important?"

Rachel said softly: "Evie, this is the difference between you and me in our understanding of love. If you love him, you will respect his requests unconditionally; while if I love him, I will try my best to give him the best. "

Evie: "Even if this kind of love is accompanied by concealment and deception?"

Rachel closed her eyes: "Yes, even this kind of love will be accompanied by concealment and deception."

Evie stared into Rachel's eyes, speechless for a long time.

Rachel sighed: "I know that my ideas are incompatible with your Valkyries, but..."

Evie interrupted Rachel: "I have one last question, what does the Presbyterian Church want Todd to do?"

Rachel: "The alien species needs a leader, and the paradise needs a guide."

Evie: "Leader? Guide? What do you mean?"

Rachel: "Let me explain the first half of the sentence first... After Sutherland opened the door to another world, his body and soul had reached the limit, and he was no longer able to pass through the door. He must stay in this world."

Evie: "You mean, he will die?"

Rachel: "No, it's a little different from death. His soul will fall asleep again... Of course, these are not important. What is important is that Sutherland cannot provide shelter for those alien species that pass through the gate. In other words , the alien race group entering the alien world needs a new leader."

Evie: "So, you chose Todd? Why?"

Rachel: "He has all the qualities to become the new leader of the alien species, strength, wisdom, quality, sense of responsibility..."

Evie snorted dissatisfied: "But you have never asked about his personal will."

Rachel: "Because everyone knows his answer... Do you want to see him create paradise in a new world, or do you want him to die in despair with everyone?"

Evie: "There is another way. Why not let everyone escape from this catastrophe through the gate to another world?"

Rachel: "You think we haven't discussed this possibility? Once the portal opens, the beacon tower will enter a countdown, and the entire world will be destroyed in endless disasters. The portal at that time will become very unstable. It may even collapse. How many people do you think will be able to leave alive during that time?"

Evie gritted her teeth, and then asked: "One more thing, you said Todd will be the guide of the paradise. What do you mean?"

Rachel: "The Presbyterian Church has repeatedly checked the frequency and time of the beacon tower's activity, and found that the most recent active sign occurred on January 7, 1170 in the Christian calendar."

Evie was puzzled: "What happened to this day?"

Rachel: "That was the day Todd first appeared in this world."

Evie was stunned.

Rachel: "That is to say, on that day, the beacon tower established a link between this world and Todd's original world. The Elder Council activated the beacon tower and could not freely set the destination of the portal. It could only link to the most recent one. A different world opened up.”

Evie: "In other words, if the door to another world is opened, then the exit..."

Rachel: "There is a high probability that this is the world Todd originally lived in. I remember it was called...Earth."

Evie stood there blankly, repeating in a low voice: "Earth, Earth..."

Rachel: "That is what we often call the Kingdom of God. Todd once lived there and is naturally familiar with everything there. For the aliens who first arrived on Earth, Todd will be the best guide and guardian. "

Evie: "Go to Earth, even with Todd here, you have no idea what will happen."

Rachel: "You and I have both seen those images in the soul space. They are so beautiful, so dreamy..."

Evie: "But that world was also full of war and malice."

Rachel raised her voice: "At least it should be happier than everything here!"

Evie crossed her arms across her chest and said, "Debating what a new world will look like is a meaningless question in itself."

Rachel: "Well, let's talk about something more realistic."

"There are two roads before you."

"1. Arrest me and all the aliens on this ship for treason, and then go to the Supuha Mountains alone to try to stop everything before the end."

"Two. Come with us to the Supuha Mountains, find Todd, and pass through the gate to another world with everyone, and go to Earth to recreate a paradise."

Evie's right hand unconsciously clenched the hilt of her sword and looked at Rachel.

Rachel lowered her voice: "Before making the final choice, I want to say something to you... From the first moment I saw you, I clearly understood that we are the same kind of person."

"We bear too much responsibility but are not understood by our peers."

“Don’t care what others think and don’t get caught up in red tape.”

"The only thing that can bind us is love, love that lasts until death."

Evie slowly drew out her sword and pointed it at Rachel's eyebrows: "Don't compare me with you. Your so-called love is just possession and arbitrary. You never know what sacrifice and dedication are."

Facing that fearless face, Evie put her sword back into its sheath with her backhand, turned around and said: "I won't send you back to Muxi City...not because of your boring and boring Rhetoric, but you can at least help me find Todd.”

"After you find Todd, he will decide the fate of you and even the world!"
