Chapter 1820
The Gift of World C
Chapter 1820 The Gift of World C
The way to obtain GEASS is to form a contract with the holder of a CODE. The type of GEASS ability you can obtain at the moment the contract is established is closely related to the deepest desire of the contractor.
However, at the moment he made the contract with CC, He Ming did not receive any revelation related to GEASS, nor did he even see the outline of C's world.
Although He Ming didn't care, CC, who was always by He Ming's side, had never noticed even the slightest fluctuation of power related to GEASS on He Ming's body. Finally, at this subtle moment, she voiced the doubts that had been lingering in her heart.
"Inconvenient things?"
CC glanced at the press conference screen on the TV, where faces were filled with awe at the mysterious event.
CC even saw several pairs of eyes filled with desire.
How could something so mysterious and irresistible be called an "inconvenient thing"?!
"Isn't that so? On the surface, it is said to be a power that can fulfill one's wishes, but in reality, at some point in the future, the power will go berserk and then backfire on you."
He Ming sneered.
What exactly is GEASS?
Anime fans who have watched the relevant animation will understand.
When Lelouch first obtained GEASS, he was very cautious, constantly testing the nature and limits of GEASS. However, at some point in the future, this power suddenly went berserk, causing a bloody massacre to erupt instantly.
"you···"
CC looked at He Ming in surprise, never expecting that He Ming would know so clearly that GEASS would go berserk at some point in the future.
However, after considering that He Ming knew so much about the ruins and even C's world, CC's surprise dissipated.
Yes!
How could someone who understands the world of C so well not understand the essence of GEASS?
After a pause, CC hesitated for a moment before revealing a situation she had never imagined since she obtained the GEASS and became the CODE holder.
"You're rejecting GEASS?"
In the temple bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, the imposing emperor of the empire was basking in the golden glow. His silhouette, infinitely extended by the light cast by the setting sun, caused the priests of the religious order who were slowly walking up the steps to tremble slightly.
"Your Majesty, we have lost track of Lord CC."
The priest knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
The imposing emperor tilted his head slightly to look at the priest.
"CC? Didn't she run away to my naive youngest son?"
"Yes. When His Highness Clovis raised the banner of rebellion, our informants did see Lord C.C. in the vicinity. However, as our informants and the Empire's intelligence agencies were successively destroyed by the Earth Federation Forces in the First Tokyo metropolitan area, we also lost the ability to track Lord C.C.'s whereabouts."
"Yeah?"
The priest's words did not provoke Emperor Charles's anger; on the contrary, he remained remarkably calm.
"Let her go! She won't break our promise. In that case, let it be her last wish to stay in this world!"
"Yes! Your Majesty."
The priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Charles had not pursued their responsibility.
But Charles wouldn't let them off so easily.
"You must hurry up and find the ruins on Shenneng Island."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
With Kamino Island currently under the control of the Earth Federation Forces, the Imperial Navy, whose naval and air power is far inferior to that of the Earth Federation Forces, is simply unable to organize an effective force to retake Kamino Island.
However, this is a task that the cult must complete.
Because, all that's missing for Charles's plan to succeed is two key things: Shengen Island and CC.
"Our allies will support you. Go down! The Imperial Navy will assist you in capturing Kogen Island."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
As Charles waved his hand to dismiss the priests, VV suddenly appeared in the temple.
"Brother, is something the matter?"
Charles's gaze shifted slightly, and he asked calmly.
“Charles, a new change has occurred in C’s world.” VV raised her small face, looked at her younger brother who controlled the empire, and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"I feel that the world of C seems to be evolving in a direction that we cannot imagine."
"What? God, have you discovered our plan?"
Charles's expression changed, and he asked in a deep voice.
"No. Our plan did not alarm them; it was someone else who alarmed the world of C."
"Who?"
"I...I don't know. I can't sense what's happening in C's world! I just feel that C's world is gradually slipping out of our control."
As VV's expression gradually turned to horror, CC, who had been lazily lounging on the sofa, also sat up and stared at He Ming in shock.
"What exactly did you do? I feel like C's world is changing!!"
He Ming remained silent, but beneath the mask, his eyes were already filled with a dazzling golden vortex. Within that golden vortex, a faint red light appeared and disappeared repeatedly, only to reappear and then disappear again.
"you···"
CC suddenly stood up.
"You're rejecting GEASS?! Rejecting the world of C?!"
"Is there a problem?"
Perhaps as he was mobilizing his mind to fight against GEASS, He Ming's voice became colder than ever before, as if it were a cold and ruthless AI electronic voice.
Before CC could speak, Artesia, Murasame, Rosamia, and the other girls all came to the living room and stared at He Ming.
"Sir, do you need our help?"
After glancing at CC, Artesia immediately asked a question.
"No. It's not necessary. You probably can't do anything. Please wait a moment."
He Ming waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to worry.
"Sir, why don't you board SV-52 and start the solar furnace? It might be of some help to you."
Artesia then offered another suggestion.
"It's alright. They mean no harm."
After He Ming declined Artesia's suggestion again, he closed his eyes and focused all his energy on dealing with the sudden GEASS.
After exchanging glances, Artesia, Rosamia, and Murasame Feng all chose to stay, which surprised CC.
Because this was the first time she had discovered Artesia, Rosamia and Murasame seemed to be able to sense the changes coming from the world of C as well.
"We only sensed the changes in the adults' mental state. We are unaware of the situation in the world of C that you and the adults are talking about."
Artesia took the initiative to clarify.
"But even so, it's enough to surprise me."
CC sighed, feeling helpless and shocked by He Ming's mental strength.
In the world of C, which is the collective unconscious of human mind and memory, there are still people who can resist the initiative of the world of C.
While he was pondering, He Ming made a new move.
He Ming slowly let out a breath and smiled in a gradually warming voice.
"Alright! It's all over. They've left."
"But... wait! Let me see your right hand!"
CC had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly noticed that He Ming's right hand seemed to have something extra on it.
She strode forward, grabbed He Ming's right hand, and flipped it open. The mark representing the code gradually merged into He Ming's palm right before her eyes.
