Marin was awakened by the sound of the machine.

Sitting up, he found himself in Cross's mage tower. Marin stood up subconsciously because he saw that the room was full of ashes, and it seemed that no one had tidied it up for some days.

"Cross." Marin called the old rabbit's name, trying to find him, but no one answered.

Marin walked upstairs. The closer he got to Cross's room, the more he could feel the faint soul. Marin opened the door and saw the dead Fafa curled up in the corner. He also saw

The old rabbit was sitting on the bed, his head drooping limply.

Seemingly hearing the noise made by Marin when he pushed the door in, Cross raised his head. The old rabbit looked at Marin and showed an ugly smile: "I...I've been waiting for you."

Marin looked at the inhuman-looking Cross before him, and finally walked to her side, squatted down, stretched out his hand and held her hairless and dry limbs: "What's wrong? How long have I been gone?"

·Can’t remember…

The body in front of me can no longer laugh or cry. The blue soul fire dances in the eyes, as if it is a fire that will be extinguished at any time.

When she said this, she looked at Marin who was watching her.

·Don’t look at me, okay.

"Why." Marin held her hand tightly, not wanting her to withdraw the cold limb.

·Because the happy me in your world is the only reason for me to support myself until now. My life is an unhappy life. I want to hear her happy story from you, because in this way, I can know,

It turns out that I deserve happiness too.

At this point, the blue soul fire rolled in Cross's eye sockets, and the negative energy liquid of the same color dripped from the eye sockets and fell on the back of Marin's hand, causing corrosion.

Seeing the smoke caused by corrosion, the rabbit quickly raised its head.

Marin looked at her and didn't know what to say.

Why are the girls he knows so miserable in every different timeline? Life should not be so painful. The original owner of this body was not him. In a world without him, wouldn't everyone be so miserable?

Can a person have such a sad ending... It shouldn't be, everyone is his or her own savior.

Marin finally reached out and held Cross in his arms.

·Marin...that me, how am I doing?

The whisper of the soul echoed in Marin's mind. Marin stretched out his hand and stroked Cross's head: "Very good. She and you both like to eat carrot soup. I like to hold her to sleep, because listen

The sound of her heartbeat gave her an extra sense of peace of mind."

After saying this in one breath, Marin listened to the cry of Cross and held her tightly in his arms... Stop crying, I'm sorry, I couldn't come to your world like this.

After crying enough, Cross's ears drooped. She pushed Marin gently, trying to push Marin away, or to push herself away from Marin's arms.

In the end, Marin could only let go. Looking at the red soul fire in the rabbit's eyes, Marin reached out and stroked her head: "I'm sorry."

·Don’t apologize, Marin. It’s my luck to see you in my old age. Finally, can you satisfy my small request?

"What's the request?" Marin smiled, watching the blue soul fire gradually being swallowed up by the red, and watching the trembling in the soul language of Cross in front of him.

·Free my soul.

Looking at Marin, Cross reached out and grabbed the hand touching her head. She cried again while telling her story.

Only then did Marin know that after eating the carrot soup he made, Cross wanted to dig it by herself, but she encountered the monsters and injured her leg. It was Fafa who desperately brought her back.

She wanted to see herself again and know if she was happy in another time, so she transformed herself into a lich and waited for him.

·Now I know that I can see you again at the last moment before sinking. The goddess of fate gave me a trace of satisfaction at the last moment. Mr. Marin, I am going to sink, please stop me. I live with such an ugly skin.

After a lifetime, I don’t want to become even uglier after death.

"Klose, you're really not ugly." Marin smiled and stretched out his free left hand, wiping away the negative energy tears on her face. Looking at the soul fire with only a touch of blue left, he stretched out his hand and wiped away the negative energy tears on her face.

The moment before Rose's soul fire was pulled out of her body, Marin said to the lover in front of her a phrase that perhaps she had never heard in her life.

"I love you."

·Thanks……

Before the soul fire dissipated, Marin heard a girl's satisfied voice of thanks.

He helped Cross and helped her lie down on the bed. Marin covered her with a sheet and then gently exited the room. As he walked past the stove, Marin waved his hand and the flames ignited the wood and pieces of furniture beside the stove.

.

After walking out of the mage tower, Marin saw a mechanical body. The latter stared at Marin, and finally turned sideways and pointed to the central area of ​​the city.

Marin nodded and followed its guidance towards the central area of ​​the city - he wanted to see who else was in this damn city.

Along the way, Marin saw many mechanical bodies with exquisite workmanship. Some of them were like the twisted armor he defeated. They were very beautiful, but they definitely didn't look like humans.

Without exception, these mechanical bodies were guiding Marin. Under their guidance, Marin finally saw the factory - it was in the middle of the city, and it might have a fog-like effect.

There was a mechanical body waiting for Marin outside a small door, and he opened the door for Marin.

"You're waiting for you."

This sentence made Marin frown, but he finally walked in the door.

Walking through the corridor, Marin saw a huge factory where countless mechanical bodies were being produced. The assembly line completely industrialized the production process.

Following the guide line under his feet, Marin came to a huge jar.

·You came.

A clear children's voice sounded.

"I'm here." Marin nodded, because he felt a spiritual energy attached to several movable cameras.

·Is the wizard named Cross also dead?

"Dead, you asked me here probably not to know her life and death." Marin took a deep breath.

"Yes, because she is the last resident in this city... No, she should be the last resident in this world." The voice said, this time it was a real voice, no longer a whisper composed of psychic energy.

Marin watched as the tank began to split. The sacred metal protective layer full of metal inscriptions opened to both sides. What appeared in Marin's eyes was a transparent tank, and inside the tank was a mutilated young version of himself.

"I'm sorry, my self in another timeline has allowed you to see my failed side." He smiled, and with only one left arm left, he raised his hand and waved to Marin.

"Lorraine?" Marin frowned.

"No, my name is Mero. My father gave me this name." He looked at Marin and sighed: "It sounds like a girl's name, right."

"Actually, it's a very nice name. Where is our father?" Marin asked, looking at the other self in front of him.

"Deformed... He failed in the end. It seems you should have returned to our home, right, Maya... she should have been purified by you."

"Well, it's purified." Marin said this, walked to the side of the pipe and sat down: "What's the matter with you?"

"During an invasion of Chaos, Ji Ling was polluted. It was the mother machine made of the twisted armor. I tried my best to purify it, but as you can see, this is what was left after the battle. Ji Ling wanted to

Save me, go on a rampage, and drive humanity away from Fort Carter... no, the entire Sidney area, because this will be the first area where Chaos will invade."

The man named Mero gave Marin an answer, which was very shocking.

"You hid yourself here because you didn't want to be found, but why did you open it now?" Marin asked.

"Because this world is dead. From the moment Cross transformed herself into a lich, this world has been doomed." Mello replied.

"You're still alive." Marin pointed at him.

"Actually, I'm just a broken body, cleverness transformed me." The small door on the side opened, a small mechanical body came out, and the Merlot in the jar began to decompose.

"Hello, the me in another timeline, standing in front of you, is a loser, and a vengeful evil ghost." It said, and at the same time stretched out its hand.

Marin also stretched out his hand and shook it once.

"...You...have two twigs of the World Tree!" Mero noticed the branches on Marin's arms.

Marin nodded: "I have also seen another timeline. In that timeline, without this factory, Carter Castle was attacked by Chaos... many people died, another one of us and his lovers."

"So that's it, that's great. I originally thought that my twigs didn't leave me because the flame of revenge was still burning in my heart. Now that I think about it...it should be the nameless person waiting for another me with flesh and blood.

." As he was talking, Marin noticed that a twig came out of his arm wearing a leather robe, and it stuck to Mero's face like a cub.

"I am going to leave the expedition with the mechanical legion. I can no longer provide you with spiritual nourishment. Follow Marin and be obedient." Mero smiled and drove his twigs onto Marin's arm.

Then he looked at Xiang Malin: "Take care of it, what are you going to call him?"

"Last time my name was Lorraine, this time your name is Mero. I'm a fool who doesn't know how to name." Marin stretched out his hand and patted the small mechanical body: "You said you wanted to go

We’re on an expedition, where are we going?”

"Go to the place where there is chaos." Mero looked at Marin: "These mechanical bodies contain the souls of many survivors. Their minds were not distorted, but they still died in the end. I collected their souls and transferred their souls to the place where there is chaos."

Digitized, I am the mother body, and they are the children. I cannot be distorted by chaos, and they never will. We will vow to wipe out all chaos in this universe."

Having said this, Mello was silent for a moment, and then gave them a cold name: "You can call us...the Heartless."

"……Wish ya'll good luck."

"I also wish you good luck. Speaking of which, when you first came here, I noticed that you visited several mansions..."

"They are my lovers."

"I see, is Maya happy there?" Melo asked this question: "Please answer me quickly, my emotions will be formatted in fifteen seconds."

"Happiness, she will be my happiest bride." Marin nodded.
