Chapter 1201
Aren't you a eunuch making a lot of trouble?
Time flies
Rokufen Gigendo has finally learned his lesson. Having suffered enough, he no longer jumps out to shout and provoke like before. Instead, he has learned to restrain his sharpness and hide away.
He hid in a dark corner unknown to anyone, perhaps an abandoned basement or a desolate ruin, like a rat in a sewer that could never see the light of day. He dared not show his face during the day, but could only secretly spy on everything outside at night, cautiously, not daring to have the slightest thought of showing himself easily.
But it's meaningless.
He thought that by hiding, he could escape Cui Ming's gaze, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. But he never knew that his every move, even the slightest breath, was still under Cui Ming's control. He could not escape the omnipresent eyes of the world's consciousness, and all his disguises were in vain.
This period of time was a rare break for Cui Ming.
Without the frequent harassment and entanglement of the sextant, without the endless scheming and confrontation, without the intrigue and disputes, life has finally become much quieter and more peaceful.
Aside from occasionally fighting monsters or aliens that suddenly appear, Cui Ming spends most of his time advancing technology.
Occasionally, ferocious monsters or unidentified aliens would raid human settlements, shattering the peace. He would immediately drop whatever he was doing and rush to the scene. He was as powerful and efficient as ever, taking down his opponents in just a few moves, never dragging things out and never giving his enemies any chance to breathe.
In his spare time, he spent almost all his time in the laboratory he built, immersing himself in scientific research day and night without ever slacking off, his eyes full of focus and seriousness.
Of course, it's not about taking over the technology from Ultraman Time.
Cui Ming has always had his own principles. He will not arbitrarily use the power of other worlds, nor will he disrupt the rules and balance of this world itself. He firmly believes that only by taking root in this world can he truly protect it.
Cui Ming's main goal is to advance the technology of this world towards the Apostles.
He calmed down and delved into the technological foundation of this world itself. Combining his past experience in fighting the apostles, he gradually improved existing technologies and broke through technological bottlenecks. He focused on developing exclusive weapons and a comprehensive defense system to fight the apostles, striving to be foolproof so that even if the apostles attacked on a large scale again in the future, he could deal with it calmly.
that's all.
Day after day, year after year, amidst the quiet companionship and busy research, more than a decade passed silently. Cui Ming's strength never waned, and his technological level towards the Apostles had long since reached the pinnacle of this world.
This can be considered a break given to Cui Ming by Noah and Mother Earth.
Without the pressure of heavy missions, without life-or-death crises, and without battlefields to rush to, he was able to let down his guard and relax, enjoying a peaceful and comfortable time. He also had enough time to spend with those around him, making up for the busyness and shortcomings of the past.
Cui Ming also brought the others over to live an ordinary life together.
Yui Ikari, Misato, Ritsuko, Naoko, Zeppelin, and Mari Makinami, who is gradually shedding her childishness and growing into a graceful young woman, were all brought together by him. They lived in a spacious and warm house, forming a lively and cozy family, accompanying each other and never letting each other down.
And other people in the main world.
They've all come here for vacation.
This ordinary day is about doing what you love when you have nothing to do. When he has nothing to do, Choi Myung will sit with Yui in the yard to enjoy the scenery and talk about his feelings. He will quietly listen to Misato and the others chat about their daily lives and complain about trivial matters. He will watch Mari tinker with various mechanical parts and research novel inventions. Occasionally, he will continue to immerse himself in the laboratory and delve into science and technology. The days are simple but full of life, warm and healing.
When something happens, go and fight monsters and aliens.
If any monsters or aliens appear and disrupt this peace and tranquility, Cui Ming will immediately step forward, becoming a guardian, cleanly and efficiently resolving all troubles, and doing his utmost to protect everyone around him, ensuring that no one suffers any harm.
Liufenyiyuantang.
This rat in the gutter, after more than a decade of lurking in the shadows, has become increasingly dark and twisted in its mentality, exuding a suffocating aura of ferocity.
He watched from a great distance as Choi Myung lived a peaceful and happy life, the center of attention. He watched Ikari Yui always gently accompanying Choi Myung, her eyes filled with a smile he had never seen before. He watched Choi Myung grow stronger and more popular. The jealousy and hatred in his heart had long since grown wildly and spread rampantly in the dark corners of his heart, becoming more and more twisted and unbearable, almost threatening to devour him.
He tried countless times to win back Yui Ikari, but unfortunately...
Every sneaky attempt, every cautious approach, every desperate counterattack ended in utter defeat. He couldn't even touch the hem of Yui's clothes, let alone get within a hundred meters of Choi Myung.
It was useless, and they were even ridiculed.
Once, unable to suppress the obsession and resentment that had been building up in his heart for more than a decade, he took advantage of the moment when Choi Myung accompanied Ikari Yui for a walk in the park and secretly rushed out like a madman. His eyes were crazy, and he was shouting Ikari Yui's name. He tried to forcibly drag Ikari Yui away, but Choi Myung was one step ahead and reached out to stop him. The force was so great that he almost crushed his wrist.
Cui Ming looked down at him, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt and mockery. His tone was flat and calm, yet every word was like an ice pick piercing Sextant's heart: "Are you, a eunuch, ever going to stop?"
Then the sextant broke down.
These words were like a poisoned dagger, piercing precisely into the most vulnerable and sensitive part of his heart, instantly shattering all his pretense, all his paranoia, all his obsessions of the past ten years, and also destroying the last shred of his rationality and dignity.
He shuddered violently, the color draining from his face instantly, turning it deathly pale. His lips trembled, and the madness and hatred in his eyes were instantly replaced by extreme pain and despair, leaving them empty and devoid of any light.
"No!!!!!!!"
He mustered all his remaining strength to roar out, his voice hoarse and broken, filled with heart-wrenching despair and resentment, echoing for a long time in the empty park streets, so mournful that it sent chills down one's spine.
His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably. His hands gripped his hair tightly, his nails digging deep into his scalp, blood dripping from his fingertips and staining the soil beneath him. Yet, he remained oblivious, consumed by a deep-seated pain and resentment, utterly reduced to a puppet of despair. (End of Chapter)
