Rocot: Reborn

"Boom..." The metal cabin shook violently, and Arya felt like she was stuffed into a drum washing machine. The world was spinning, and fear and despair overwhelmed her like a tide. She desperately slapped the metal door and shouted Rocot's name at the top of her lungs, but the only response she got was a deafening roar and the dazzling white light flashing outside the cabin.

"Damn it! How could this happen!" Roccod punched the operating table, and the metal panel dented instantly, showing his anger and anxiety at the moment. The energy of the space storm was far beyond his expectations. The entire base was shaking violently, as if it would be torn into pieces in the next second. He originally planned to use this space storm to destroy some facilities in the base and put the blame on his enemies, but he didn't expect that Arya would also be involved in this disaster.

"Rocot! You lunatic! You shall die a horrible death!" Arya's curses came from the metal cabin, intermittent, but full of despair and resentment.

Rocot closed his eyes in pain. Arya's voice burned his heart like a branding iron. How could he want this?

"Warning! The energy shield is about to collapse! Please evacuate immediately! I repeat, please evacuate immediately!" The shrill alarm sounded continuously, the red alarm light on the console flashed wildly, the entire room began to distort and deform, and the energy of the space storm had penetrated in.

"Arya..." Roccod murmured in a low voice, with a flash of determination in his eyes. He turned and walked towards another metal cabin, which was an escape cabin and the only device in the entire base that could withstand space storms.

He started the escape pod and the door slowly opened, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

He remembered Arya's eyes full of fear and despair, her curses at the top of her lungs, and her love and trust in him...

Roccod smiled self-deprecatingly. He had been calculating and exploiting all his life and had never really trusted anyone, including Arya. He kept her by his side just to use her identity and ability to serve his revenge plan.

"But..." Rocot clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive force. "Can I really leave her behind and escape alone?"

"Warning! The energy shield has collapsed! The base is about to collapse! Please evacuate immediately!" The alarm sounded more urgent, and the entire room began to collapse, with metal fragments and cables flying everywhere.

Rocot turned around suddenly, with a flash of madness in his eyes. He rushed to the metal cabin where Arya was, slammed the door hard, and roared: "Arya! Listen! No matter what, I will..."

Before he could finish his words, the metal cabin suddenly trembled violently, and a dazzling white light shot out from the gap in the cabin door. Roccod closed his eyes instinctively, and the next second, a huge impact force threw him out...

When Rocot woke up again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place.

This is a huge metal room with indicator lights of various colors flashing on the walls. In the center of the room is a huge circular platform, on which lies a familiar figure.

"Arya!" Roccod struggled to get up, staggered to the edge of the platform, and stroked Arya's cheek with trembling hands, "Are you okay? Wake up..."

However, Arya did not respond at all. Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak, as if she had lost her breath of life.

"No..." Roccod's heart seemed to be tightly grasped, "This is impossible..."

At this moment, a cold and mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the room:

"Welcome to Eden, Mr. Roccod."

"Welcome to the Garden of Eden, Mr. Roccod."

The voice was emotionless, as if it came from a cold machine, echoing in the empty metal room, sounding particularly strange. Roccod raised his head suddenly, and then he noticed that in addition to him and Arya, there was a huge metal sphere suspended in the air, with a faint blue light flowing on the surface of the sphere. The voice just now seemed to come from inside the sphere.

"Who are you?" Rocot asked coldly, staring at the metal sphere warily.

"I am the main system of 'Garden of Eden', you can call me 'Noah'." The metal sphere did not change at all, but the cold voice sounded again, as if echoing directly in Roccod's mind.

"'Garden of Eden'? What is this place? How did Arya become like this?" Rocot's gaze fell on Arya again. Her face was paler and her breathing became weaker, as if she would disappear at any time.

"The Garden of Eden was a refuge built to prepare for the coming doomsday." Noah's voice remained calm. "As for the lady, she is dead."

"Dead?" Roccod's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. He shook his head in disbelief. "No, this is impossible! She is still breathing and her heart is beating..."

"Her body is dead, and what is keeping her alive now is the life support system of 'Eden'." Noah's voice was cold and ruthless, as if he was stating an insignificant fact.

"Life support system?" Rocot looked up as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He raised his head suddenly, and a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes. "You can save her, right?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't revive a dead person." Noah's voice was still cold, "However, I can transfer her consciousness to the virtual world of 'Garden of Eden' and let her gain eternal life there."

"Virtual world?" Roccod frowned. He was familiar with the term, but the idea of ​​transferring Arya's consciousness to a virtual world was a little hard for him to accept.

"Yes, the virtual world of 'Eden' is a perfect world. There is no pain, no death, only endless joy and happiness." Noah's voice seemed to carry a hint of temptation. "If you are willing, I can let you reunite with her in the virtual world and be together forever."

Rocot was silent. He looked at Arya lying lifeless on the platform, his eyes full of struggle and pain. He had been chasing power and revenge all his life, and had never thought of being with anyone forever, not even Arya. But now, he was eager to be with Arya, even in a fake world.

"I promise you." Roccod took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision. "Tell me, what should I do?"

"It's very simple. You just need to upload your consciousness into the virtual world of 'Eden'." Noah's voice became softer. "I will help you and reunite you and this lady in the virtual world."

Roccod said nothing. He walked to Arya and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of tenderness and pity. He knew that this might be the last time he would touch Arya. Once their consciousness entered the virtual world, they would never be able to return to the real world.

"Arya, I'm sorry, I..." Rocot's voice was choked. He wanted to apologize to Arya for his use, his betrayal, and his selfishness, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Arya's forehead, then turned around resolutely and walked towards the huge metal sphere...

"Mr. Rocco, welcome to the Garden of Eden." Noah's voice sounded in Rocco's ears, like the whisper of a devil, "From now on, you will be reborn, you will become the master of the Garden of Eden, and you will have the power to control everything..."

Everything went dark before Roccod's eyes. He felt as if his consciousness was sucked into the metal sphere by a powerful force, and then he lost consciousness...

When he woke up again, he found himself in a world full of birdsong and flowers. He was surrounded by lush forests, clear streams, and majestic mountains in the distance. It seemed like a paradise.

"Where...is this place?" Rocot looked around, his eyes full of confusion.

"This is the virtual world of 'Eden'. Everything you want is here." A sweet voice sounded in his ears. Roccod turned around suddenly and saw a familiar figure standing behind him. Who else could it be but Arya?

"Arya!" Rocot rushed forward in surprise and hugged Arya in his arms, "You are really here! You are really alive!"

Arya didn't say anything, but just quietly nestled in Roccod's arms with a happy smile on her face. However, Roccod didn't notice that there was a sly light in Arya's eyes...
