Chapter 281 Reconciliation
Chapter 281 Reconciliation
"How long did I sleep?"
Awakening from her deep sleep, Huili found herself lying on a bed board, with Yugi Junsei placed beside her to provide healing.
Now that Huiliya's injuries have healed, Ichiro and Zeta are waiting by his side, hoping that Haruki will awaken and truly realize the meaning of their reunion.
"You slept for two hours, Yaohui. How are you feeling now?"
Zeta saw Haruki get up and immediately came over to check on him, with Ichih following at the same time. They were ready to answer all questions and fulfill all of Haruki's requests.
"How's the situation outside?"
"Everything is safe. No one will come after you anymore. All pursuers have been defeated."
"Did you do this, Zeta? Or was it Ichixuan?"
"No, it wasn't us, it was another helper."
Judging from Yixuan's familiar questioning and his reaction to Huiliya, it's clear that he's truly clear-headed now and won't act impulsively like before.
Zeta was very patient. He also had a lot to say to Haruki, but now was not the time. Zeta wanted to tell Haruki his innermost thoughts when it was safest and most enjoyable.
"Hello, Huilia, is there anything I can help you with?"
"That voice is... Kaito Toma, or rather, Ultraman Max."
Kaito arrived at the scene as soon as he dealt with the danger outside. After checking on Huilia's physical condition, he confirmed that he was fine. Huilia was just under a lot of mental stress and was physically and mentally exhausted, so he needed to rest.
Kaito answered Zeta and Ichiro's concerns, saying that their battle with Huilia had not caused them much damage, and all their injuries could be healed by Yuugi Junsei.
"What are you doing here? And what exactly happened between you and Zeta and the others?"
"Judging from your tone, I know you've almost recovered. Let's get down to business, Huilia. I'll tell you everything I know."
With that, Kaito projected an image of the planet from the Max Spark, a scene he had observed a few days ago. Although Kaito's duties in space were affected, it did not prevent him from continuing to investigate the truth in his own way.
"After the Space Federal Police Agency got involved here, I have been secretly observing what is happening on the planet, trying to find a way to break the deadlock from an outside perspective."
"But the changes inside the planet were even more extreme than I had anticipated. A global burst of light erupted from a certain core point, engulfing the entire planet and severing all contact with the outside world."
"And the starting point of this light burst is the holy land that the Mage Guild talks about, which is the ruins that once summoned you."
"That's the source of all this."
The structure of the ruins was subsequently revealed, and Fiora was surprised that Kaito knew so much about it, even distinguishing the internal structure and layers.
"In that burst of light, all beings on the planet with cognition and emotion were instilled with Muban's ideology and became his subordinates who strictly obeyed his orders, including humans, monsters, and aliens."
"Fortunately, after I returned here, I found two people who were not affected by the light burst. In the end, only Yixuan and Zeta remained on the entire planet whose perceptions were not altered."
At this point, Yixuan was a little embarrassed, feeling that he was just lucky and not as special as Ultraman Max had said.
"Muban's ability to rewrite cognition and the energy to reshape my body are of the same kind, so I have a certain resistance and I survived with Zeta's help at the time."
"After meeting Mr. Kaito, I learned what had happened and then cooperated with him."
"Because I was inside the Zeta Riser, I wasn't brainwashed by the light burst. After the white light passed, Kaito and I found that you were gone, Haruki. There was no trace of you in the whole world..."
"Where did you go back then, Haruki?"
Recalling how he felt when Haruki disappeared, Zeta couldn't help but feel worried again. Even after searching the entire continent, he couldn't find Haruki. All sorts of bad thoughts plagued Zeta until Haruki reappeared.
Haruki is alright, Zeta can rest assured.
"I was thinking of finding the Duke to get to the bottom of things, but I didn't expect Muban to go so far as to unleash another light burst like the one from ten years ago."
"I didn't dare to confront that force head-on, so I hid in the dimensional rift. When I came out again, several days had passed outside. Unaware of this, I triggered a series of events."
"Oh, by the way, where did the Duke go? Didn't he send you here?"
"I was the one who brought Yixuan and the others here. As for the real Duke, he was taken to his rightful place after he was discovered. Once everything is over, the judge will determine his future."
Kaito indirectly explained that he was impersonating the Duke, which Huilia understood. He now knew why Ichiro and Zeta trusted the "Duke" so much.
When Huilia first saw it, she felt extremely uncomfortable and annoyed.
“I used my status as a duke to infiltrate the ruins and met Muban and the legendary phantom beast. Unfortunately, they were both in critical condition after the explosion of light.”
"After reviewing all of the Duke's files, I managed to keep the phantom beast alive, while doing my best to alleviate Muban's injuries, and also investigating where the missing aliens were."
"Then why don't we just arrest Muban? With your strength, are you afraid of him?"
Huilia didn't quite understand Kaito's behavior. If he were to run into Muban, he would definitely arrest the culprit first, regardless of the consequences.
“I can’t. On the one hand, I need Muban’s help to keep the phantom beast alive. His research is more detailed than the Duke’s, and he understands the phantom beast better. The phantom beast can only live by relying on Muban.”
"On the other hand, Luo Yi was imprisoned by Muban in a place I didn't know about, and he was also a victim of Muban."
"Luo Yi is still alive? He's really still alive!"
Upon hearing the news of Luo Yi's survival, Huiliya himself found it somewhat unbelievable. He felt sorry for Luo Yi, as he hadn't been able to rescue him immediately after his death.
The appearance of the white light burst disrupted the entire world. Huilia was forced to flee, and Luo Yi's fate was unknown. He was powerless to help Luo Yi.
"Then go and arrest Mu Ban now. I don't believe he won't tell us Luo Yi's whereabouts!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, Huilia. Going now will only provoke Muban. No one knows if he will do anything crazy again. It's not too late to act after I finish speaking."
Kaito stopped the agitated Hilary in time and advised him not to act impulsively. Kaito was also concerned about Law's safety, but that was precisely why they had to act cautiously.
Il-hyun and Zeta waited for instructions. Zeta listened patiently to Haruki's words, trying to understand his feelings. Zeta was learning to see things from the other person's perspective. Maintaining friendship requires this kind of tolerance and understanding.
Ik-hyun has completed his initial mission with Zeta, and Haruki and Zeta have reunited. Ik-hyun's story is coming to an end, and now it's the heroes' turn to shine.
