The Emperor's Agreement!
Chapter 1894 The Emperor's Agreement!
"lie?"
To be honest, if it weren't for the presence of He Ming, Gao Hai, and Li Xingke, who were well aware of Neo Zeon's intentions, standing beside Emperor Jiang Lihua and offering guidance, this young emperor might have been misled by the future described by Neo Zeon's supreme commander, Char Aznable.
"If that's a lie, Colonel Ming will surely be able to shatter it and let the world see the true face of Neo Zeon!"
After pondering for a moment, the emperor raised his head and looked intently at He Ming, as if he were waiting for He Ming's answer.
"Of course. My mission, and that of Punishment, is to act on this. Your Majesty, this desert will be temporarily left untouched and used as the battlefield for the decisive battle against the mastermind controlling those BETAs. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can properly reassure your people and prevent them from rashly entering this desert."
He Ming gave the emperor the answer he expected and solemnly instructed him on the follow-up treatment of the desert.
“I understand! There are forces deep within that Level 6 HIVE that we cannot deal with for the time being, and those hidden masters in the shadows will also seize the opportunity to strike and destroy this precious peace!”
Clearly, although the emperor was young, his experiences during this period had allowed him to grow considerably.
"Very well! Then, let's meet again in the future, Your Majesty. I hope that when we meet again, we can reunite in the vast universe."
He Ming nodded, extended an invitation to Emperor Jiang Lihua, and then solemnly saluted with the military salute of the Federal Army.
"Yes! I eagerly await that moment! But before that, I will tidy up the chaos and problems on this land, and then head to space to fulfill Colonel Ming's promise!"
Emperor Jiang Lihua, imitating He Ming, stood at attention and saluted, returning the salute.
"I'll be looking forward to it!"
He Ming smiled slightly, nodded to Gao Hai and Li Xingke, and then turned and left.
"Your Majesty, Colonel Ming is an incomparably noble man, yet he is a great hero who is down-to-earth and personally risks his life to seek the future well-being of all people. To keep up with him, Your Majesty will probably need to continue to work hard!"
As Gao Hai bowed to He Ming's retreating figure, he also offered advice to Emperor Jiang Lihua.
"Of course! To help His Majesty catch up with Colonel Ming, this old servant is willing to give everything to serve His Majesty! To serve His Majesty until death!"
“Gao Hai, I understand your intentions. So, after you go back, you should know what to do. The floating continent doesn’t need too many people’s opinions now.”
After withdrawing her gaze from He Ming's retreating figure, Emperor Jiang Lihua's eyes gradually revealed a resolute determination, and... a murderous intent!
In the past, the young emperor Jiang Lihua, who was only 13 years old, was locked deep inside the palace, and her every move was deeply influenced by those powerful eunuchs.
Now, having personally stepped into this desolate battlefield, tasted the clamor of the wind and sand alongside his soldiers, smelled the blood of his comrades and monsters, and personally raised his gun to kill otherworldly monsters, the emperor has completed his transformation.
"Star Engraving! Can you help me stabilize the army?"
Jiang Lihua turned around, raised her small face, and looked calmly at the tall and upright Li Xingke.
Li Xingke's heart stirred. He knelt on one knee, lowered his gaze, stared at the ground, and said, word by word.
"As you wish, Your Majesty! I, and all the soldiers, will be your most loyal sword! By Your Majesty's command, the entire army will surely sweep away all evil and restore a bright and clear world!"
"very good!"
Emperor Jiang Lihua nodded slightly, then turned around again, her gaze falling on He Ming's departing figure.
"Then let's begin! This will be a new beginning for this land! In order to gain a chance of survival in this chaotic and complex world, necessary sacrifices are inevitable."
The emperor let out a long breath, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"Let's start the change with them, those who were once my closest people!"
"Everything, for all living beings on this land!"
Although the distance was getting farther and farther, the active brain quantum waves had already mapped Emperor Jiang Lihua's psychological activities into He Ming's mind.
"The awakening of an emperor? That's interesting." Although the land beneath their feet comes from another parallel universe, this familiar yet unfamiliar land always seems to give birth to a great being who guides all living beings toward the future at some crucial moment.
"If you truly have such a determination, then perhaps we should offer you some assistance!"
Back at the Punishment Camp, as He Ming was making arrangements according to his own ideas to deal with the impending upheaval on this floating continent, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a loud, boisterous shout.
Without even looking, He Ming knew who had come.
"Asuka. I remember you should be working with Vice Commander Fuyutsuki Yukimasa on adjustments to EVA Unit-02 right now."
"That kind of thing is irrelevant, Colonel! Why drag that idiot into this too?"
As soon as Asuka said those words, He Ming understood.
"Why? Shinji was also the pilot of EVA Unit-01. Learning the art of 'Still Water' would be a good thing for him and for Unit-01 as well."
He Ming waved his hand, instructing the intelligent AI cube Adino to perform calculations according to his ideas. He then got up and walked to the water dispenser, pouring Asuka a glass of water.
As soon as Asuka saw it, she immediately took it and poured herself a drink, then handed the empty glass to He Ming.
He Ming shook his head helplessly.
This girl really doesn't know how to be polite!
After drinking three cups in a row, Asuka's temper seemed to have subsided somewhat.
"I don't believe that idiot could learn the 'Mirror of Still Water' technique! I've seen the video from back then. According to the currently available information from within NERV, it's almost a miracle, no, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a divine intervention."
Asuka seems to have entered a kind of research state, constantly trying to analyze Meikyō Shisui using her knowledge.
"No. That's not a miracle, nor a divine intervention. It's just a treasure within the human body! Asuka. Don't over-mythologize Meikyō Shisui, and don't worry too much about whether you can control it. Let everything take its natural course."
When He Ming reached out and touched Asuka's head, Asuka's twin tails swayed from side to side.
Clearly, Asuka doesn't want He Ming to pat her head like that right now.
He Ming smiled and didn't seem to care.
“You will understand when Lian begins to teach you.”
"You told me not to deify the concept of a clear mirror and still water, but what you're saying now, Colonel, is no different from those charlatans who deceive people?"
Asuka's eyes darted around, a hint of curiosity in them.
"By the way, Colonel, how long did it take you to master the 'Mirror of Still Water' technique?"
"for how long?"
He Ming paused for a moment, then laughed.
"It may have been short, or it may have been long. At that time, I didn't feel the passage of time."
Perhaps, under the finger of that old Dorgon, He Ming at that time has already passed through the vicissitudes of life?
“Mysterious!”
Asuka stared at He Ming for a while, but in the end, she was defeated by He Ming's mask.
"So be it! Even so, before my genius Asuka, Meikyō Shisui is nothing but a trivial matter! By the time Colonel Asuka returns from space, I will surely have mastered Meikyō Shisui!"
"Hahaha! Well then, let me look forward to it!"
