Chapter 394 The Answer 3 Years Late
"..."
Seeing her cold face, Carlos didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
He Xi turned to look at the black hole that was constantly releasing terrifying gravity, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
"The situation is critical. That black hole will reach its critical point in less than 10 hours and then devour everything in this star system."
"actually……"
Carlos was about to explain that he could move the black hole when He Xi interrupted him.
"Don't speak, listen to me first. I'm asking you, why did you run away without a word in Datan that year?"
Although He Xi appeared to dislike someone, she still cared about him deeply.
Especially since she is about to sacrifice her life to annihilate the black hole.
At that moment, she didn't care about anything else.
Except for the answer he owed her...
"Didn't I say last time that I didn't recognize you...?"
Carlos's tone was noticeably melancholic when he said this.
He and his sister Kasha would miss each other for 30,000 years because of the ridiculous reason that they didn't recognize each other.
This also indirectly prevented him and her from fulfilling their promise from their past life...
This really caused him a lot of pain...
Every time I think about it, I feel very sad.
"Alright, I'm going to ask you something very seriously now, and you must answer me truthfully."
He Xi turned her face to look at him directly, her expression serious and earnest.
It seemed as if they were scrutinizing him.
"what?"
Carlos looked at He Xi with a puzzled expression.
"What else could it be? You owe me an answer that's been 30,000 years in the making!"
Seeing his clueless expression, He Xi couldn't help but raise her voice.
And the way she looked at him was clearly resentful.
"..."
When Carlos learned that this was what she wanted to ask, his heart skipped a beat.
Because he really didn't expect He Xi to ask him about this!
She had been so resolute before, saying that she would never forgive him for being late.
They also said they could never go back to the way things were before, and that they might even become strangers in the future.
Why did she suddenly bring that up again?
Surely she doesn't still have feelings for him?
If that's the case, wouldn't he have missed fulfilling his promise to his sister from their past life?
At that moment, Carlos was completely stunned.
It was as if I had been struck by lightning.
"Not saying anything again? You're still the same as before, aren't you?!"
Seeing his silence, He Xi angrily reached out and pushed him.
His eyes held an obvious anger.
Carlos was pushed and only then did he recover from his daze.
But deep in his eyes lay an intense pain...
Because he can no longer keep his promise to Kaisa.
Even if she were willing, he still couldn't be with her...
They missed each other, just like they did 30,000 years ago...
"You want to hear the truth...?"
What do you think?
Hearing him spout nonsense, He Xi's eyebrows furrowed high.
"like……"
When he uttered those two words, Carlos seemed to have lost his soul.
He lowered his head and stopped looking at her, then closed his eyes in anguish.
Yes, he really did like her back then...
He didn't have those kinds of feelings for her when they first met.
But a hundred years later, when she came looking for him, he truly fell in love with her during the six months they spent together...
It was because he had fallen for her, coupled with her heartfelt confession, that he had no choice but to run away overnight.
He was afraid that he might impulsively agree to her request.
He didn't want to forget the promise he made with his sister Kasha to meet again in the afterlife.
He didn't want to betray his sister, so he ran away...
He feared that if she persisted, he would truly give up his obsession with finding his sister and elope with her.
He was afraid he would change his mind, so he chose to run away...
And now, they've missed out, just like they did 30,000 years ago...
"You bastard, you bastard! Why did you only say it now... why did you only say it now...!"
Upon hearing those two words, He Xi was both delighted and furious, and immediately began punching and kicking him.
While hitting him, she lost control of her emotions, and tears streamed down her face like broken beads.
After all, he spoke too late...
Even if she could forgive him on behalf of Keisha and be with him,
But now she's going to annihilate that black hole...
She didn't have time to rekindle their relationship...
"..."
Despite being knocked around and staggered, Carlos did not raise his head.
Moreover, the expression on his face was extremely dejected.
There was even a hint of regret.
Because he failed to hold onto the conviction he had upheld for over 60,000 years...
he……
I really broke my promise...
As He Xi was beating Carlos, the Tiangong flew out from Mero Star and headed towards the retreating Hua Ye fleet.
On the other side, He Xi (in her split form) did not intercept them. After counting the remaining members of the Angel Guard, she led them back to the six Skyblade warships behind them.
There was absolutely no intention of staying to see what would happen to them.
After punching him more than a dozen times, He Xi finally withdrew her hand.
She sobbed a few times, then forced back the urge to cry and wiped the tears from her face.
She gave him a look of extreme resentment as he lowered his head and remained silent.
Then it turned and flew towards the black hole.
Yes, she has gotten the answer she wanted.
Although she couldn't truly be with him, she heard the answer he owed her before it all ended.
She felt that was enough...
At least she won't leave this world with regrets...
Seeing her fly towards the black hole, Carlos hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her arm.
He forcibly pulled He Xi back from committing suicide.
"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?! That's a black hole! Do you even know what a black hole is?!"
Carlos never expected He Xi to suddenly take her own life, which he found hard to understand.
"Of course I know! But if I don't use the energy of the space-based system to annihilate it, Melo's 30,000-year legacy will be completely ruined! I can't let anything happen to Melo!"
After saying that, He Xi shook off his hand and prepared to fly towards the black hole again.
But then he grabbed her wrist.
"No need to annihilate it! I have a way to deal with that black hole!"
Carlos was afraid that He Xi would do something foolish, so in his haste, he almost shouted what he said.
"What method?!"
Upon learning that he could resolve the black hole, He Xi's expression changed drastically.
"Although black holes are the most terrifying celestial bodies, they are still within space. I can use a void transport algorithm to forcibly swap the black hole and its surrounding space with other places, thus saving Mello."
Carlos explained it to He Xi.
"Then hurry up and use it!"
Knowing that she wouldn't die, He Xi's tone was filled with inexplicable excitement.
Because they can finally be together.
Despite his help Morgana and Karl to destroy Keisha.
But this time he helped their Angel Nebula defeat Hua Ye and even saved their Merlo Heavenly Court.
Based on these two points alone, she could forgive all the wrong things he had done in the past.
And it was a perfectly legitimate way to forgive him!
He was so upright and honorable that he wouldn't allow any other angels to be hostile towards him!
Besides, he just said he liked her, how could she not be happy?
After waiting for more than 30,000 years, she finally got to see this day.
She made her decision: this time she would leave him in Mello to guard the angels' legacy with her.
She wants to stay with him here, loving each other until the end of the universe.
She knew he would be willing too.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those two words.
She hadn't waited in vain for those 30,000 years...
"This black hole is too massive, and it must be moved to a very, very distant location to eliminate the threat. My void engine alone may not be able to calculate it; I need to connect to your space-based system to help me calculate it."
Carlos was well aware that the black holes of today were not the same as those of the past.
This black hole is about to reach its critical point in 9 hours, instantly swallowing everything.
In this scenario, even if a black hole cannot destroy space, it will significantly affect the stability of space.
In particular, he also has to move the black hole to other galaxies or even nebulae.
The computational demands required for such long-distance spatial swapping are staggering.
Even with three void engines, he couldn't guarantee success.
Therefore, he needs some help to increase his chances of success.
Okay, let's connect now.
After she finished speaking, a white film appeared on He Xi's azure eyes.
Carlos didn't hesitate, his eyes flashing purple as he docked with her Space-Based One and Two celestial engines.
After the successful docking, Carlos promptly opened the operation page of the Void Wormhole Engine.
He reached out and started typing away at the purple virtual keyboard.
After calculating the spatial molecules around the black hole, he used the engine to locate a blank star region he had visited during his cosmic travels. [This refers to a place without planets or stars.]
After completing these calculations, Carlos pressed the confirm button to agree to a long-range space swap between the two sides.
The next second, the black hole two light-years away from Mello suddenly trembled.
Or rather, the space around that black hole trembled.
Then it just vanished in a flash!
That space transformed into a cluster of small meteorites.
Clearly, Carlos succeeded.
He used his "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to move that terrifying black hole.
It saved Mello and all the angels on Mello.
Seeing the black hole that was releasing gravity so intensely being moved away, He Xi finally felt relieved.
After letting out a sigh of relief, she turned to look at him as he put away the keyboard and screen.
Then her body suddenly lunged forward uncontrollably.
She pounced on him and hugged him tightly.
She even shed tears of joy, which was quite embarrassing.
"..."
When she suddenly hugged him, Carlos was completely stunned.
He didn't reach out to put his arm around her.
He stood motionless in the void, like a telephone pole.
Because he wasn't qualified to hug her...
He can't betray his current wife...
He could only listen to her sobbing in his ear and feel the chill on the back of her collar.
He didn't know why she was crying again.
But at this moment, his heart was also weeping...
Yes, he originally thought that this time when he met He Xi, he would definitely be driven away by her again or be slashed by her sword a second time.
But not only did she not do that, she also asked about the answer from 30,000 years ago...
He hadn't expected that she still had feelings for him; he hadn't expected that her last comment about them becoming strangers was a joke...
But now, it's all too late...
After crying on his body for a while, He Xi pushed him away and questioned him in a blaming tone.
"Can't you see me crying, or is your arm broken? Why don't you hug me and say something nice to comfort me? Are you dead?!"
In the end, He Xi glared at him with a look of disappointment and frustration.
She was mainly surprised that he remained unmoved even after she took such a proactive approach!
It's really just like it was 30,000 years ago, right?
This is absolutely outrageous!
"..."
Even when He Xi pointed at his nose and cursed, Carlos remained silent.
He glanced at her once, then turned his face away and looked elsewhere.
His eye twitched slightly, almost imperceptibly.
There seemed to be glistening tears in her eyes.
What do you mean by not saying anything?
He Xi wiped away the tears on her face, and her tone was no longer as emotional as before.
Because she is in a really good mood right now.
It could even be described as brilliant.
After all, she could finally do with him what they hadn't been able to do 30,000 years ago...
"No, Hua Ye has withdrawn his troops; I have to go back."
Without saying much, Carlos opened a purple void wormhole beside him.
"Where are you going?!"
He Xi never expected him to leave, and in her haste, she grabbed his shoulder.
"Come back home"
Carlos said it in a flat tone.
"What do you mean?"
He Xi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the word "home".
"It means exactly what it says. Now that Melo is safe, I'm going back."
Carlos's heart was bleeding when he said those words.
Because he personally ruined the chance for him to rekindle his relationship with his sister...
He really hated himself for being in such a hurry back then.
We've already waited 60,000 years, why not wait a few more?
He had barely parted ways with his sister before immediately throwing himself into the arms of another woman.
He's a real scoundrel...
Now, he can no longer keep his promise to Kasha that they wouldn't be siblings in the next life...
"Can't Melo be your home?"
He Xi always felt that he was hiding something from her, but she didn't dare to think that way.
Since he didn't bring it up himself, she could only try to ask indirectly.
Of course not.
Carlos straightened up and shook his head at the woman whose eyes resembled his sister's by seven-tenths.
"Why? You just said you liked me..."
Seeing how readily he refused, He Xi's heart trembled.
After all, she genuinely wanted to keep him here and live happily ever after...
That's the answer to the question you asked 30,000 years ago, not referring to the present.
After saying those words, Carlos felt as if something was blocking his throat.
He was so uncomfortable that he couldn't exhale or swallow, and he couldn't help but blink.
"you……"
Hearing his words, He Xi clenched her fists so tightly they cracked.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Finally, in a fit of anger, she punched him hard in the side of his chest.
The chisels all made a muffled "bang" sound.
Carlos was knocked back half a step by the punch, but he didn't make a sound or make any attempt to step into the wormhole.
He just stood there watching her, watching her angry expression.
Then, secretly shedding tears (blood) in my heart...
