Chapter 1826 The Witch's Guesses
Anya (Marianna) stared intently at He Ming, but couldn't find a single flaw in the mask. In fact, the more she focused on He Ming, the more intense the pressure felt on her shoulders.
“There is no connection whatsoever. At least, until recently, he had no connection whatsoever with the world of C. In fact, GEASS was not even present on him when I signed the contract with him.”
"GEASS didn't show up? Is that even possible?"
Anya (Marianna) was taken aback, startled by CC's words.
"Yes. Even before the collective consciousness of C's world found him, he still did not have GEASS."
CC swirled the cup in her hand and said lazily.
"You might not believe it, but in all of our known history, no one has ever been willing or able to resist the power of GEASS. However, Colonel Ming from the Earth Federation Forces' Punishment Division was able to resist the influence of the collective consciousness of the C world, ultimately forcing the C world to settle for second best and entrust the CODE to him."
"This is the origin of Colonel Ming's possession of the CODE. Marianne, do you understand the meaning of this origin?"
Anya (Marianna) fell silent.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at He Ming and CC.
"CC, you mean the world of C chose him? It chose Colonel Ming of the Earth Federation Forces from another dimension?"
"I'm sorry! Perhaps I must correct your understanding. The Holy Britannian Empire is the nation from another dimension. The main body of this Earth was originally the mother planet of the Earth Federation."
CC shook her head, correcting her former best friend's perception.
"Regardless of who comes from which other dimension, now, CC, are you willing to watch C's world tilt towards the people from another dimension? Have you forgotten your promise to Sharuru?"
Anya (Marianna) stared at CC and questioned him.
For some reason, Anya (Marianna) sensed that CC seemed to have changed.
CC, who used to try every means to face death, has become someone who seems to yearn for things she doesn't know, and who is gradually moving away from her inevitable fate of death.
“I haven’t forgotten my promise to Sharuru. But now I’ve found a new path. Death remains my pursuit. However, it no longer needs to be achieved in the way we know it.”
CC put down her cup, straightened up, and looked solemnly at her former best friend.
“Marianna. I have seen a wider world and more possibilities. And these possibilities will allow me to break free from the curse and no longer be bound by the world of C.”
"Just him?"
Anya (Marianna) looked at Heming again.
"Hmm, based on him alone, you should have sensed that Colonel Ming is not like a human being, at least not like the humans we know."
“CC. I am human, a real human being.”
He Ming interrupted CC.
“I understand. You are human, but in any world, is there anyone who can resist an attack from the collective subconscious of all humanity? A human who can do such a thing deserves to be called a god.”
CC stretched and then rested her chin on her hand, looking at He Ming with great interest.
"Although I have seen the information and data you gave me before, even based on the information about the Innovators, I doubt they could independently contain the collective subconscious of an entire civilization or race, right?"
CC's lips curled up slightly.
"I was initially skeptical about the authenticity of those documents, but now, after seeing Artesia, Amuro, and Char—beings the Earth Federation calls Newtypes—I feel that Colonel Ming, you likely possess more than just Innovator powers; you likely combine Innovator and Newtype abilities simultaneously, and perhaps even some powers I'm currently unaware of." "Hmph. Is this the wisdom of an immortal witch?"
He Ming snorted coldly, not denying it, but inwardly marveling at CC's keen intuition.
This is different from the immortal witch CC in the original timeline; no, it can be said to be completely opposite.
Is this the result of following him on his campaigns and broadening his horizons?
"What are you talking about? Humans have other powers besides GEASS?"
Anya (Marianna) doesn't understand what the Innovators and New Humans that C.C. are talking about really mean.
"No. I didn't say anything. What I mean is, if gods exist in this world, then Colonel Ming is undoubtedly the one closest to them. Anna Sharuru's plan to kill a god will not succeed."
CC glanced at Anya (Marianna) and said calmly.
Anya (Marianna) was about to retort when she suddenly realized something.
"C's world not only cried out to him for help, but it is also influencing Anya, shielding me from my perception of the outside world, and driving Anya to defect?"
With this in mind, all doubts were resolved.
After figuring all this out, Anya (Marianna) finally felt a sense of powerlessness.
"It turns out that the world of C has begun to resist Sharuru's plan. It has even gone so far as to ask people from another dimension for help."
A hint of reluctance flashed in CC's eyes.
If she could, she wouldn't want to compete with her former best friend.
"Kamane Island has always been controlled by the Punishment Bureau. Sharuru has no way to enter the world of C."
"The plan has reached a point of no return. CC, it's a matter of life and death between you and Xia Lulu."
Anya (Marianna) said coldly.
"Even if C's world influences Anya and causes her to defect, it cannot change Sharuru's mind."
"Then let's fight! Originally, my plan was to fight the Britannian Empire to the death. Your defection, Anya, was just an accident."
He Ming didn't care about that.
From the very beginning, He Ming knew that the emperor's plan to kill the gods would not be stopped.
"Then lock me up! The only reason I'm allowed some freedom right now is because they want me to cooperate, and also because of CC, isn't it?"
Anya (Marianna) was straightforward.
"I will cooperate with you at the subsequent press conference. Of course, I also look forward to seeing the defeated faces you show after your failure to stop Xia Lulu."
“Marianne, do you remember your children?”
Faced with provocation, He Ming naturally retaliated.
“Lelouch is currently assisting Clovis in forming a punitive expeditionary force, and has decided to launch an attack on the Britannian Empire when my orders are given.”
"As for Nunnally, she is currently receiving treatment on a planet at the edge of the solar system. Well, according to the latest news, Nunnally has not only regained her sight, but is also able to walk on her own for a period of time."
