【SC】Endless Journey

Opening his eyes suddenly, thousands of streams of life rushed out from the meteor, quickly wrapping him in cocoon-like green fluorescence.By the time the light faded again, all the cracks on his body had recovered.

Then he caught up to the exhausted Claude, and pierced the opponent's chest with the authentic.

When the smoke finally cleared, he landed firmly on the ground, and Cloud was pinned to the center of the crater by his knife.

He saw the green light of healing magic flash again, and the cells around the opponent's wound began to heal against the cold blade, so he inserted Zhengzong a few more points, and the young man's brows were wrinkled in pain.

He stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly asked: "How long can your body last?"

Claude seemed to have expected this scene, and closed his eyes tiredly.

"...you can kill me now."

He looked down at the young man, feeling a slight displeasure at that expression of despair.

"That's not what you want."

The voice reminded him again.

A restless feeling gripped his heart again.He already knew that he hated Claude, and he deserved to kill him, but when this moment came, he didn't feel happy and satisfied.

He hesitated for a few seconds, and decided to resolve this doubt before making a final move.

"You have some kind of strong emotion for him, and he has some kind of strong emotion for you, and you think that he is unique." He tried to sort out a clue from the chaotic information, "So you deny me, just because you can't accept the current situation. He doesn't need the fact of you."

Claude seemed to be very surprised by this sentence. He opened his eyes and looked at him for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "...No, it's because I know him."

He raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Claude coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his breathing became short of breath.He realized that the other party's life was about to end, and a strange feeling flashed across his chest.

"I did love him and I hated him. I knew what he really wanted, so when he got all this and lost that thing, it must be the last thing he wanted to see."

He heard a certain key message, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife: "What does he want?"

"He wants everything." Claude held the corner of his lips with difficulty, "The planet, his own life, freely dominates everything, and possesses the people and things he is interested in. As long as it is something he thinks is important, He will hold it firmly in his hands, regardless of the other party's wishes. He is such a conceited and egotistical person."

—The giant beast was about to surface, but not nearly there.

He chewed these words in his heart for a moment, remembering that the other party also mentioned "important things" at the beginning, and couldn't help asking: "What is important to you?"

For the first time in his life, he became interested in the ideas of people other than himself.Although he still had some inexplicable emotions towards this rebellious duplicate, he felt that the answer he wanted to know might be hidden in the other party's reply.

Claude's eyes suddenly changed a little, looking at him carefully as if looking at a child.

After a while, the other party whispered: "Nothing is unimportant... As long as human beings are alive, they will be connected with the world around them, and they will place part of their emotions on other people and things, and they are important to me. It’s all meaningful—my hometown, my friends, people I’ve loved and hated—” Claude paused, fleeting pain flashed in his eyes, “…but what do you I have never owned it before, so I don’t understand the feeling of wanting to protect others.”

"What do you want?"

- what I want.

He suddenly had a new desire to explore himself and the world.He wanted to know where the pain in his chest came from, how the clone in front of him moved his emotions, and most importantly, he wanted to know what he had and lost.

But his time is limited, and the meteor must be transferred to the top of the Beida Hollow as soon as possible.He needs to let the meteorite absorb all the stream of life there, and then enter Gaia's satellite orbit, after which it will accelerate there, use Gaia's gravity to eject, and thus embark on an interstellar journey with an unknown destination.

He pulled Zhengzong out from the young man's chest, and the bloody knife tip slowly moved to the opponent's heart.Just as he was about to use the knife, the other party's voice flashed in his mind, so he hesitated for a few seconds.

"...the ones I've loved and hated."

He seemed to be able to understand his past emotions a little bit.

Claude was looking at him quietly, but suddenly he caught something from his face, and a faint light lit up in the depths of his pupils.

"...Then as you wish."

He took one last look at the dying young man, raised Zhengzong high, aimed at the opponent's heart, and then exerted force on the end of the knife handle.

"—Farewell, Claude."

The moment the light went out, the giant beast quietly emerged from the sea.
