The Collection of The End

—AD.2162.9.8—

Silver Heart, Zion, Metropolis.

Although with the help of the "Outer Galactic Expeditionary Force", Zion destroyed the command center that commanded the attack of a mixed army composed of Reapers and mechanical octopuses, but the policy of focusing on defense of important cities remained unchanged, because...even without a command, breakthrough There are too many Reapers who have reached Zion's homeland on the defensive line.

Although they no longer have a purpose to make sudden attacks on important targets as a beheading operation, and they will not detect Zion’s strike plan in advance to make changes, but even if they wander aimlessly on the ground and attack their vision at will Hostile targets within the range will also pose a major threat to the "retro cities" still stuck in the 20th century.

The Fortress Fleet originally wanted to help the ground army, but after piloting in several cities, they were surprised to find that compared to “alien invasion, we fought the enemy bravely with the help of superheroes”, the residents of Zion were concerned about “there is a group of The "comrades in space" who were separated from their own society" accepted their inability even more, causing a considerable degree of chaos.

The **** fort was shocked: they were unable to adapt to the environment because their ancestors had just been rescued from the matrix, so they built a "retro city" as a "transition greenhouse" for them to step into the universe in the future. Unexpectedly, these people would actually take this world that can be seen to be fake with a little in-depth analysis as real.

After discovering the problem, the Divine Fort Science and Social Research Team immediately launched a project on this problem and its solution. However, to start the research concretely, we have to wait for the Reaper to be officially repelled. Before that, the paratroopers of the Divine Fort Troops You can only put away too advanced weapons and pretend to be the "retro army" of Zion's "retro city" to beat the "superheroes".

Compared with the aggrieved God Fort Space Forces, those who have the status of "superhero" can do whatever they want. Even if they show how exaggerated their ability is, people who see it will say "Oh, it's a superhero". Forget about it.

"It's noon!" "It's too Imba!"

For example, the eldest sister of the battlefield doctor and the pilot girl who did not know where to get countless mechas and used them to explode.

Angela cleaned up the corpse puppets and the mechanical octopus, and Emil exploded the big reaper. If there is a guy who slipped through the net, it would be smashed by the Moon Wing Shenna with a hammer. This is already the cooperation of the familiar road.

However, this time, Tsukiyoshi Kana was abruptly stunned on the spot, and even a few lucky mechanical octopuses that had not been blown up behind the telephone poles threw in front of him without responding.

"What are you doing?" Emil, who had just thrown out the self-explosive mecha, turned his head and fell to the ground, and shot the octopuses with a small pistol: "Did you contact Conna?"

"No..." Yueyong Kanna's eyes were not focused, as if looking at something in front of her: "The new options are'Destroy the Reaper','Control the Reaper', and'Merge with the Reaper'."

"It sounds like they have hit the core of the matrix," Angela fluttered down with six diamond-shaped light wings: "These options should all end the reaping cycle, but..."

"I don't think these options are very good... Do you want to increase the options? But we don't know what's going on there." Yueyong Kana's tone was a little anxious.

"There is someone at the same level as us. No, a higher-level existence is with Conna. We can't know what information she has obtained, but she doesn't need information at all." Angela groaned slightly, raising her hand in the moon chanting Kana Swipe in front of you.

"'Don't decide yet','seeking a friend for help'? Will this work?" Yueyong Kana stared at the empty space in front of him for a while, then turned to look at Angela.

"Although I don't know what the methods of'destroy','control' and'fusion' are, unsurprisingly, choosing them means choosing to'sacrifice many innocent people','sacrifice a few people you know' and ' Sacrifice yourself'," Angela helped the halo above her head: "First hold her steady, let her contact us, and then we will choose the option of'sacrifice yourself'. After all, she is not a'follower'. It is troublesome to choose that. It's big."

"But that, in her opinion, is'sacrificing a few people you know.'" Amir said.

"..."

"Moreover, didn't you say you wanted to give her a surprise and never confessed that you are Matthew and Sophie? Then there is no one among her friends who can solve this matter." Amy said again.

"Damn it! Conna! Don't choose randomly!" Angela raised her hand in the air in front of Yueyong Kana.

"Ah, it disappeared." Yueyong Kanna blinked, and his eyes returned to focus. He was planning to say something, but suddenly raised his head to look at the sky in the next second.

"That's too late…"

——

Zion, Gotham.

A city is guarded by "superheroes", which means that there will be "super villains" in the city specifically against him, and in the same attack by the reapers, these "super villains" have to join in in order not to be "harvested." To resist the Reaper, but to expect these unruly guys to follow the instructions of the Zion official or "superhero" is nothing short of a fantasy.

Gotham City has Zion’s strongest "superhero" Batman, so naturally it has the strongest "super villain" Joker. Other "superheroes" such as Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, and Batwoman are just Can deal with riddlers, scarecrows and penguins.

…Although the battle between Batwoman and Penguin is more like a quarrel between girlfriends.

After "Batman" temporarily left Gotham in order to attack the matrix from a virtual dimension, a little silver-haired girl with the hero name "Sitonai" took his place.

Although there is no time to do things because they are being invaded by the Reapers, the "super villains" still don't look down on this new city guardian very much.

A real superhero: a frightening black dress, high-tech equipment capable of coping with a variety of situations, such as throat cancer-like unintelligible voices, mysterious and high-speed Bat series vehicles.

False superhero: pink skirt without deterrence, empty hands with no deterrence, soft and no deterrent sound, stupid white bear that can be seen two kilometers away.

Even if she drives the snow to freeze a giant reaper into a block of ice, and then asks the white bear named "Basaka" to smash it in one palm, the "super villains" firmly refuse to recognize her as Batman's successor.

However, because Gotham’s “superheroes” and “super villains” are too many, even the Reapers who attack Gotham can be "empty window periods" from time to time. In these "window periods", the "super villains" Naturally, he couldn't bear the urge to make trouble. After the accident, he was beaten up by the superhero. Then the Reapers gathered forces to fight over, and the two sides had to unite again... The overall look turned out to be quite regular and rhythmic.

At this moment, due to Shido's too young appearance, he was quickly spotted by a green question mark weird who has always been troubled...Of course, there are also reasons why the Reaper can be poisoned by fear but refuse to guess the riddle.

The riddler was stopped by Shido in an alley:

"Hahaha~ Shidunai, do you know that something has six legs, but after crossing the alley, it only has two legs?"

"The family bucket that Saber just bought." The girl tilted her head.

...?

"The less something is, the more precious it is?" The riddler blinked suspiciously and continued to ask.

"Ling Shu," the girl replied.

...? ?

"Wait, why I don't understand what you're talking about, but I think it's right? Another thing, can I use it if I break it?" The riddler's forehead was sweating.

"Holy Grail."

? ? ?

"No, no, this is not right, the last one,'I can feel your every move, I understand every thought you have, I have been with you since you were born, I will watch you moldy, what am I? '"

"...Stalker?" Zhidu Nei tilted his head and tapped his cheek with his finger.

"Haha! Wrong—"

"By the way, it is Yanfeng Qili." She clapped her hands.

"No, no, no! Although I feel you are right, that is not my answer! I want to—" The riddler waved his arms.

"[You have to roll as far as you want.]" A low, sharp voice sounded with a sense of madness that couldn't be concealed.

At the same time as this sentence appeared, there was also a weird man wearing a long purple suit, dyed green hair, and painted a clown face, and next to him was another female clown with a slightly different shape.

"Yes, damn, don't think I'm afraid of you." The riddler left a harsh word and climbed the wall and slipped away.

"Yeah..." Zhidunai looked at the clown and then at the clown girl, then looked down at the cheat sheet in his sleeve: "A man with a talented appearance is a perfect match."

"Really? Hehehe~" The clown girl smiled, covering her face.

"[Hmph,'Batman always has a plan', I didn't believe in this at first,]" The clown glanced at the little book that Shido-one basically didn't hide in his hands: "[Even the answers to the Riddler's question have been arranged in advance. , Then he must have taught you how to deal with my "lunatic"? If not, he will lose his daughter.]"

The clown raised his mouth with a terrible smile, and took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, compared it with his mouth, and finally didn't lick it.

"Hmm..." Shidunai lowered his head and flipped through the pamphlet, tilting his head seemingly confused, and then he crawled off the bear's back, walked to the front of the clown in small steps, and kicked him on the knee. :"Hit me you idiot!"

"[...]" The clown was stunned.

"...My dad asked me to do this." Shidunai seemed to have some doubts about doing this. After the kick, Da Da Da ran back to the white bear and said.

"[...Huh, dignified'Batman' is shameful,]" The clown put away the knife and snorted: "[Anyone with a little brain can't do anything with'Illia', and neither is a foolish fool. Your bear’s opponent, the only one who might hurt you is the Reaper, but...]"

He curled up the corners of his pale face and looked at the high wall next to the alley: "[But you still have'Mom' following.]"

Phew...Following his voice, a slender woman wearing a tight black leather coat and a cat ear mask appeared on the top of the towering apartment building.

She seemed to originally want to appear on all fours, but after hesitating, she chose to sit by the wall and hide something behind her easily.

"Joker," she said, "Are you sure you are fine here? Your boss is about to be destroyed by Batman, and you still don't think about going back?"

"[Destroy? Are you kidding,]" The clown showed a sarcasm: "[That is not hundreds of millions or tens of billions of lives, but the sum of all the lives that existed in the galaxy in countless reincarnations. If you let that'justice' His partner' makes a decision, he will probably choose to let the harvest continue, and then take his family away.]"

"...I was also cutting, and I only figured it out after Neo left," Catwoman paused: "It seems that you knew it a long time ago, so you didn't continue to fight against the'superhero'."

"[Don’t forget what my identity was,]" the clown replied: "[I knew from the beginning that your'Awakened' rescue compatriots would only end in failure. Challenge the matrix? Without the matrix, there would be no you. , There is only one existence that can solve this matter, but something seems to have gone wrong with her.]"

When he said this, the clown glanced in the direction of Shidunai, or Ilia.

"Such as..." "[If it's me, as long as there is a chance, it will directly destroy the matrix,]" The clown didn't wait for Catwoman to finish her words, and then continued: "[Ancient, still alive, there are still creatures in consciousness, Guan What is this reincarnation? This reincarnation may give birth to a reaper in the future, and what does it matter to me? Why should I consider such a long-term issue?]"

"You are not an agent now, Mr. Smith." Catwoman changed her name slightly mockingly.

"[Are you going to discuss lifespan with me? Trinity?]" The clown also changed.

"..." This kind of chattering is obviously not in Ilia's notebook. She turned her head for a while and found nothing, so she turned to look at the white bear: "Barthaka, we..."

!

Halfway through the conversation, the girl suddenly looked up to the sky under the influence of some kind of intuition.

Hu—Om—

Silently, a bright but not dazzling super giant water blue beam of light shot directly down from the sky, instantly tearing the dark clouds that have always enveloped the Gotham sky, and illuminating the entire city.

In the light of the light beams, those Reaper battleships suspended high in the sky, ready to find opportunities to launch attacks on various cities, seemed to be covered with a faint blue light.

No, it's not as if the light from the "headlights" above the Reapers' heads changed from dazzling scarlet to soft icy blue like water at this moment. Those Reaper battleships glanced at the surface as if they were a little nostalgic, and then reluctantly hesitated. Lifted off and left the atmosphere of Zion.

Illiya looked up at the light, just simply thinking that the picture was very beautiful, until she was held in her arms by the catwoman who suddenly fell down, she was surprised to find that her eyes were pouring out tears like a spring. .

"[Well, it seems that your father is gone.]"

"Basaka! Bite him! Uuuu-!"
