Chapter 483 The Hymn of Humanity
Chapter 483 The Hymn of Humanity
There is still one month until the last day.
During this period of time, even Takama-ga-hara became exceptionally silent, and people had never felt the passage of time so quickly as they did now. It was so fast that it seemed as if no time had passed at all, and they were already about to reach the end.
This is Izumo's last New Year and also the last rest time before the decisive battle.
In the depressed city.
The girl held the white cat named Ye Ye in her arms and said with a smile, "Big brother, look, Ye Ye is going to be a mother. When she gives birth to kittens, I will give you some."
"Okay," An Ming squatted down and gently stroked the white cat's head, with a lot more tenderness in his eyes.
"Um... Big Brother, I saw you on TV. Mom said you are a great hero of Izumo," the girl blinked her innocent eyes and asked seriously, "So everyone in Izumo will definitely survive, right?"
"I do not know."
An Ming said softly: "But I will do my best to protect you."
In fact, he is clear that before the final day comes, or even when that moment has arrived, there will still be people who choose to escape and are unwilling to face reality.
But that is not evil, it is cowardice.
And this cowardice is the proof of what makes us human. Courage will be born from that cowardice until we become heroes who take one step forward.
An Ming would not blame those who chose to escape. In the end times, just maintaining oneself is already extremely difficult, and they are just ordinary people.
"Not like that, big brother..."
The girl smiled and said, "It should never be my brother's responsibility alone."
"By the way, my name is Uesugi Yuu, what's your brother's name?"
"An Ming."
An Ming gently touched Uesugi Yuan's head, stood up and left. There was already a faint scent of spring in the wind, and although the weather was a little cold, green buds were still blooming.
Even in such a world, there are still people who live seriously and look forward to next spring.
Now...An Ming finally understood a little bit, the answer he had been looking for since he came to Izumo.
He who once existed in Takama-ga-hara was the last imperial sword created with all the power of the planet. When he appeared, he was burdened with the responsibility of saving the world. However, the moment [Wu] was forged, Takama-ga-hara was already dead.
After coming to Izumo and experiencing so many things, An Ming finally understood the words he heard when he merged the imperial sword.
Those imperial sword users who once belonged to Takama-ga-hara told him to give up this futile struggle. There was no point in repeating the fate of Takama-ga-hara.
Nothingness is nothingness, and no matter what, it cannot be changed by the power of a knife alone.
Even if it was Sakura's Thousand Sakura, which had accumulated energy for ten Amber Ages, it could only leave a tiny spark for Izumo at most. How could it break the cycle of nothingness?
Never escape, use all your wisdom to think, and think more before giving up your life.
The most important thing is to face the arrival of the last day.
...
...
"Happy New Year, Anming."
"Happy New Year, Mei."
There were steaming dumplings on the table. Raiden Mitsuki sat in the middle and looked at Yasuaki and Mei with a smile.
Raiden Ryuma has recovered quite well. Since he regained consciousness some time ago, everything has been moving in a better direction.
"You are still children... Alas, these are responsibilities that should be borne by us adults," Raiden Guangxi murmured softly, with a look of distress in his eyes. Isn't it a cruel request to put the heavy burden of the end of a planet on the shoulders of a few children?
The fate of a planet will ultimately be borne by a few people.
The so-called salvation is to go against the will of heaven and change the outcome that cannot be changed. That is why it is salvation.
Raiden Mitsuki just felt that these children had a really hard time. If it were a normal world, they would definitely be able to have an easier time and do things that were more suitable for their age.
At that time, Anming and Mei might have already been engaged and could be having a normal relationship.
Instead of having to meet each other for a long time, they have to rush to different battlefields to kill evil beasts, and even have to face the arrival of the end of the world in person.
"This is the meaning of my existence," An Ming was no longer confused, but comforted Lei Dian Guang Xi, "Mei is also very strong, she will definitely survive."
He would keep everyone alive.
Mei pursed her lips and whispered, "We both have to survive. You promised me."
She suddenly felt sad, just like Sakura and Annie always said such light words, but behind those short words was death.
Everyone seemed to know their responsibilities early on and chose death as the logical outcome.
Is she the only one who cannot even touch the outline of the future?
This New Year's Eve dinner was not as lively as usual. After it was over, Mei was not in the mood to watch TV. Instead, she went to Raiden Ryoma's room alone.
Thunder Dragon Horse cannot get out of bed and walk yet, so he can only lie down and rest.
"dad..."
"What kind of will did Uncle Ling Yi have when he drew his sword?"
Mei Raiden is very confused. As the head of the Raiden family, she does not think she is a competent head of the family.
I can't even figure out the meaning of sacrifice. Even if I hold the imperial sword, I can't change anything.
"Mei," Raiden Ryoma weakly stretched out his hand and held Mei's trembling palm, "When protecting is no longer a request from someone, but something you want to protect from the heart."
"You won't be lost anymore."
That night, even if Lei Dian Lingyi did not draw his sword, there would be a second or third person who would draw their swords without hesitation.
"Although I don't understand everything yet..." Mei said softly, "but I already know what to do."
The Raiden family has always been like this. Even when facing the sun, they will never lose the courage to draw their swords.
The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage.
After leaving the room, Mei saw Anming who had been waiting for her in the corridor for a while, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, "That's not your style."
"Very unlike?"
"If it were the An Ming I know, he would sleep in the house," Mei's lips curved slightly, revealing a rare smile.
"If it was the Mei I knew, she would be happier during the New Year, instead of looking so lost."
An Ming reached out and pinched the corner of Mei's mouth, gently lifted it up a little, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, this is not our last New Year, so...next year we will be like this again, making dumplings together and waiting for the arrival of the new year after midnight."
"You...are really different now."
Mei finally smiled, "Can I still hold your hand next year?"
An Ming took the initiative to hold Mei's hand, his eyes were bright and pure. At this moment, there was no shadow of Da Ri, nor any responsibility to save the world.
"of course."
After all, they agreed to be a family for life.
