Chapter 160: Do It If You Want
"That's not a given."

Xia Mi gave a somewhat forced laugh.

"The end of the world is only a few years away. No matter how much I study alchemy, there is still a fundamental gap between me and you. This is the upper limit. If the end of the world is really certain, I am afraid I won't even have a chance to get on the table by then."

It is filled with deep worries.

Even though Lu Mingfei has now shown himself to be reliable, for the dragons who have always been certain of their prophecies, a Black King standing on their side is even more terrifying.

Even the newly born Black King is willing to stand on their side and fight to protect life, but even so, there are still doomsday prophecies in the future.

Xia Mi couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene that was, and she felt fear instinctively.

“It’s understandable to be afraid.”

Lu Mingfei didn't rush to make a decision and motioned Xia Mi to continue.

"Dad, you are really strong and reliable, just like the hero that only exists in fantasy. I feel safe as long as I stay by your side. If I could live the life I have now thousands of years earlier, I might have some confidence."

Xia Mi shook her head, a little light appeared in her eyes, but it soon dimmed again.

"But now, facing the predicted doomsday, the only thing I can think of is to escape."

At least if we slowly persevere and transform the environment, maybe it will be possible to succeed and let her fight against the doomsday in a few years. Now that we have a choice, we might as well spare her.

"You were unwilling to give up on humans. Because of your restraint and care, many people in the country survived. Now many people in Tokyo have also survived. Those hybrids are afraid of your power and will inevitably restrain themselves due to the consequences of death. In the future, there will be more people who will survive because of your existence, and we dragons will also benefit from it."

Xia Mi was sure that if Lu Mingfei was not there, facing Odin who had indirectly controlled the mixed-blood society and unable to escape with the Nibelungen, she would most likely die a miserable death in the future.

The other 20% himself would have a chance to survive, but Fenrir, who could not be transferred, would definitely die.

"You carry everything on your back, but what about the future, when your power can no longer protect all life?"

Xia Mi said as she lowered her head and picked at her nails.

"When the time comes, whether you win or lose, you will have to bear all the pain."

She admitted that she was too insecure, but since Lu Mingfei was now ready to protect the whole world, Xia Mi was afraid that one day he would collapse due to the pressure that he shouldn't have to bear.

"Many people will die sooner or later. You can't save them forever."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment. He not only understood such a future, but he had also experienced it personally. It was countless times more painful than what Xia Mi was describing now.

Some of the monsters that Leo faces in his world cannot be easily defeated just by knowing the plot. They are even limited by technology and the special effects produced are too poor. He doesn't even have a clear judgment on the true strength of many monsters.

Failure is inevitable.

The consequence of every defeat of Ultraman is that countless people will die from the time of defeat to his second appearance.

The pain of knowing the future but being unable to change it due to the limitations of one's own abilities is even more suffocating.

Fortunately, he has Leo as his senior brother, and the guidance of the Ultra Brothers.

With my presence, the misunderstanding between Leo and the Ultra Brothers was resolved early, and my mentality, which was on the verge of collapse during that time, was finally alleviated after being enlightened by these gentle big guys.

All I can say is that his current open-mindedness is the result of his past sufferings. If he hadn’t been open-minded, he wouldn’t be where he is now. “Just like a doctor, no matter how hard you try, life will eventually die, but everyone knows that a doctor’s work is by no means meaningless. At the very least, I have saved some lives, and I am not ashamed of my conscience. Even if it is limited by the strength of my power, as long as I choose to save, it is also a kind of progress.”

Lu Mingfei explained his point of view, not because he wanted Xia Mi to follow this path, but because he wanted her to understand his thoughts.

"When the sky falls, the taller ones will naturally hold it up. This is the responsibility that comes with power."

“Power and responsibility are never bound together. What should be bound together with responsibility is power.”

Xia Mi couldn't help but retort.

Then she rubbed her hair a little frantically.

"Oh, forget it, Dad, you only know how to use these demands on yourself, and I really can't refute you."

"I never intended to ask you to become like me. You should have your own pursuits and your own paths. As long as you don't harm other lives, it doesn't matter if you do nothing."

Lu Mingfei looked at the girl in front of him and smiled faintly.

Xia Mi spoke very seriously. She had explained the environmental correction theories very clearly. Although Lu Mingfei did not quite understand some of the professional terms, he calculated the data silently and found no mistakes, which showed that this girl was indeed very serious.

"I'm glad that you can tell me so much and let me know that you have thought about these things."

"Sorry, I took the initiative this time."

"What is there to apologize for? You should be prepared for danger in times of peace. You did not indulge in the gentle comfort of being protected, but thought about finding a way out on your own. This should be appreciated."

"Well, you don't object?"

Xia Mi's eyes gradually widened.

"Whatever I object to, you are not doing anything bad. I have my own path to follow, and you have yours too. There is no reason for you to live according to my way of thinking."

Lu Mingfei glanced at the girl. It wasn’t like he had any mental illness like a desire for control.

“If you want to do it, just do it.”

It's the end of the world after all.

Since such a prophecy exists, Lu Mingfei naturally would not ignore it and must be preparing for the worst.

That is to travel to other planets to preserve the spark of life today.

He himself actually wants to go into space. You know, he also wants to find Leo and the Kingdom of Light. How can he not have a yearning for the sky?
But a person's energy is limited after all. It is impossible for him to study alchemy, develop his own strength, beat up those hybrid newborns all over the world, and at the same time preside over space exploration.

The time was too short, and he was not strong enough to immediately transform into Ultraman and blow up the whole world with one punch.

Xia Mi now has ideas, abilities, and is willing to try other directions. Lu Mingfei thinks this is a good thing and he is fully supportive of it.

This is a viable path.
