Ultra: I am too old to inherit the light of the sky

"Where is this?"

Fujimiya looked at the surrounding desert...

No, not a desert exactly.

The whole world seemed to be buried by sand. He looked at the surrounding environment. From the corners of the desert that were exposed, Fujimiya could see that they should be the tops of some skyscrapers.

only……

Where exactly is this place?

There is no one living here.

The whole world fell into silence.

He could not sense the presence of any life.

Inexplicably, Fujimiya felt an emotion called loneliness in his heart.

“Is this… the future?”

Thinking of what Zog had said before, Fujimiya muttered to himself, but he didn't realize that there was a hint of fear in his voice.

That's human instinct.

After all, humans are social creatures. When seeing this scene, even Fujimiya, who initially thought that humans were the cancer of the earth, couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart when he actually saw this scene.

"There is?"

Looking into the distance, under the sunlight, the air was somewhat reflective, but Fujimiya could still see that it was the color of metal.

Compared to the skyscraper with only its head visible, the metal in the distance obviously attracted his attention.

Fujimiya walked subconsciously.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the large piece of metal in front of him had entered his pupils.

As he got closer, the shock in Fujimiya's eyes grew.

How come he doesn't recognize this place?

He lives here now!

That is a building that was constructed with all the wisdom of their Alchemy Star!

It is called the crystallization of human wisdom.

However, now the building looks dilapidated and covered with mottled cracks. Like the surrounding environment, it reveals a sense of death and desolation.

An indescribable complex emotion welled up in his heart. This place was their pride and a symbol of their efforts for the future of mankind.

But now, all of this seems to have been destroyed beyond recognition by time or some unknown force.

"XIG's air base... this? What's going on?"

Fujimiya murmured to himself, his voice filled with undisguised astonishment and fear.

He began to realize that what he saw might not be a simple future scene, but a more complex and far-reaching change.

You know, he was also involved at that time. The central control system of XIG was developed by him. Although he did not participate in the research of various parameters, he also remembered them in his mind.

The materials of the air base were created with great effort. They were all made of rare alloys. If we use a noun to describe them, they are all memory metals that can be restored to a certain extent.

But now?

The mottled colors above proved that the air base had long lost its original power.

Fujimiya remained silent.

If the future is like this...

The flame that had been extinguished began to burn again.

He remembered Zog's words.

“Are humans… the cancer of the earth?”

The fist gradually clenched.

He whispered softly.

"I'm here, trust me!"

Just at this moment, the voice of that fool emerged from the bottom of his heart.

I remembered the extremely determined expression on my face at that time.

He firmly believed that he could change the future.

Oh, what an idiot.

Fujimiya chuckled, with a complicated arc at the corner of his mouth.

He shook his head, trying to clear those disturbing thoughts from his mind.

However, I Meng's firm expression and words were like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart.

"I'm here, trust me!"

These words seemed to be an invisible force that caused a subtle change in Fujimiya's state of mind.

He began to think, if it is true as Zog said that human beings are the cancer of the earth, then should they, who possess technological power, shoulder greater responsibility to change this destiny?

Fujimiya did not go to see the wreckage of the air base again.

There is no need to go in.

Since Professor Ai brought them here, he felt that the other party must want to tell him something.

He continued to explore, hoping to find more clues to explain it all.

But no matter where he went, he saw the same scene: dilapidated buildings, barren land, and dead air.

The world seemed to have been completely abandoned, with all life and vitality gone.

Only your own footsteps are following you further and further away.

desert.

ruins.

Dead silence.

It is no longer a question of whether he will destroy humanity or not.

"I dreamed..."

Can they really save such a future?

Fujimiya felt confused.

"Fujimiya!!!"

A pleasant voice came from the bottom of my heart again.

Fujimiya turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.

There is, but there is only nothingness.

Fujimiya's eyes gradually became confused.

He has always been a very determined person.

But when the two ideas collide in his brain, he becomes more confused than ordinary people.

……

"Hey! Is there anyone there?"

I dreamed of stepping on the sea. If I could not smell the fishy scent of the ocean now, I really would not have recognized that the green glowing place on the ground where he was stepping was sea water.

The only difference with Fujimiya was that in my dream I saw nothing except the sea water.

This is also normal.

Human beings are ultimately lives that stand on the earth. Although life originated from the ocean, there are indeed not many basic infrastructures in the sea.

But it’s different from Fujimiya.

My will to dream has always been extremely firm.

No matter what happens, he always believes that although there is darkness among humans, there is also light among humans.

This was also my dream during Zog's time. Even though I am old and gray, I will still sacrifice my life for the brilliance of humanity.

Although his efforts did not yield any results.

Maybe he thought about it, but he still moved forward without hesitation.

I dreamed that I would keep moving forward, searching for traces of life.

He stepped on the sea, leaving a shallow footprint with every step, but it was quickly smoothed out by the sea water.

He looked around and saw nothing but the vast ocean. There was no sign of life and no remains of any buildings.

"What on earth is going on in this world?"

I dreamed of muttering to myself, his heart full of doubt and uneasiness.

He recalled what Zog had said, the time and space called "the future"... Is this what they call the "future"?

I Meng shook his head, he was unwilling to believe this fact.

He firmly believes that there is hope and a future for mankind.

Even though the world seems so desolate and dead now, he believes that this is only temporary and that mankind will surely find a way out and recreate a world full of life and vitality.

Life will find its own way.

Not to mention humans.
