Xiao Qiang realized that this time it was not just about feelings; action was required. He thought it better to take direct steps rather than waste time on trivial details.
Through countless cycles, he had come to understand one principle: an almost imperceptible omen was telling him that Tomorrow's Battle was like a chess game with a nearly zero chance of victory. The enemy had set up a trap for defeat, luring humanity into it, only to eliminate them all.
Given this speculation, Xiao Qiang did not follow the old path step by step; instead, he took a contrarian approach to seek answers. He avoided getting entangled with the time machine and did not clash with Liu Yi and the others, doing his best to prevent wasting time on these petty matters.
Time jumped forward swiftly. When he dashed out of the line of sight of L Captain and Liu Yi, miraculously appearing before the goddess, they exchanged glances and began the necessary procedure to overcome the Mimicry device.
This time, Xiao Qiang had a slight advantage. The goddess made her move, and they exchanged blows back and forth, the sounds of their strikes echoing in the training ground. All that could be seen were two swirling shadows of light, making it impossible to distinguish who was who.
Several times, Xiao Qiang restrained himself from landing a punch on the goddess's cheek, pulling back at the last moment... Just then, the goddess let out a loud shout. Her fist shot forward like a Spirit Snake, reaching for his shoulder. He deftly dodged to the left, avoiding her right punch. Lowering himself and sliding under her attack, he countered with a strike aimed at her throat.
Xiao Qiang's fist was poised at the goddess's throat while her punch barely missed his eye.
Jack emerged from his hiding spot, laughing heartily as he gave a thumbs-up. "Good! No clear winner here; you both complement each other well."
The goddess and Xiao Qiang nodded at each other and withdrew their hands, turning to look at Jack as he stepped forward.
"Brother, can we have a proper chat inside?"
This was exactly what Xiao Qiang had been hoping for. He eagerly nodded. "I have something to tell you too." As he spoke, he cast a cautious glance at the goddess.
The goddess seemed unconcerned by his words and led the way inside. She thought to herself that the moment to truly verify what her master had said about possessing super energy had arrived. However, without concrete evidence, both she and her master felt uncertain. She hoped he was indeed the one with extraordinary energy.
If this brat in front of her truly possessed super energy, then right now he was still in a state of ignorance, unaware of how to utilize this powerful perceptive energy to sense enemy information.
Therefore, he needed guidance—guidance that only she could provide. As she reached the door, she glanced back at Xiao Qiang, who had entered with Jack. That fleeting look sparked that strange feeling once more.
"Tomorrow's Battle is approaching," Jack remarked as he noticed Xiao Qiang deep in thought. "Do you know how many overconfident soldiers have tried to challenge the goddess in this training ground? They've all been turned away; you're the first one to make it here."
"I've seen you before."
"Have you seen me?" Jack said incredulously, his eyes wide. "Don't lie, kid. Do you know who I am?"
"You are also a mutant."
"Sort of. It's just that during the Cosmic War, humans replaced my blood. I've lost my ability and now I'm no different from an ordinary person."
"If I told you that Tomorrow's Battle is destined to fail, would you believe me?"
The goddess activated the nano-sensing holographic monitor and replied firmly, "Impossible. This time, Tomorrow's Battle is a desperate surprise attack by humanity. The enemy should still be asleep. We will descend from the sky without them noticing. How could we possibly fail?"
"Wrong. The enemy knows we are coming. They are lurking underground. The battlefield has turned into a Slaughterhouse, and humanity is just their lamb to slaughter."
The goddess turned her gaze away from Xiao Qiang and looked at Jack, whispering, "Master, could it be a misreading? How could a coward afraid of the front lines possess such strong perceptive energy?"
Xiao Qiang heard her words and stared at her intently. "Time is limited, and I don't want to beat around the bush. There are only the three of us now, and there are some things I must tell you. If you think my words are off, then willingly step out and never challenge the goddess again."
Jack nodded in agreement. "Go ahead."
The goddess remained silent, secretly guessing what he was about to say.
"You all know that anyone entering here must have their memories erased, but I wasn't erased, so I remember many things..." He took a deep breath, his gaze flashing quickly across the goddess's face. "Number 22 is definitely not your real name. Your name is Lin Yu, and you are also my fiancée..."
Lin Yu was taken aback; her expression changed slightly with anger as her hand moved to her waist... Xiao Qiang knew she had a deadly weapon there. After a brief pause, there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Jack stopped the furious goddess: "This is also the issue you've been tangled up with. Just give him a chance to see if he can win your heart."
The goddess's expression turned cold as she withdrew her hand and leaned against the edge of the nano-sensing monitor platform. The bluish light from the monitor illuminated her icy face, revealing no trace of emotion.
"Tomorrow's Battle is a conspiracy; humanity will be annihilated. This is a bloody fact. You and I will die, and I've already died three times before. I came here specifically to find you because I want to express what’s in my heart before I die in battle."
Jack's face showed a look of astonishment as he heard this. Indeed, he was the one carrying the Super Strong Subatomic Particle. If there were no mistakes, he might truly have predicted the real data for Tomorrow's Battle.
The goddess was momentarily taken aback by Xiao Qiang's words. If what he said was true, then it coincided perfectly with her master's predictions.
The small space fell into silence, quiet enough to hear each other's breathing. Xiao Qiang suddenly pointed at the Chain around the goddess's neck and said, "This Chain is mine. I lost it in 2050 when I traveled to another era. I dreamt of you in my dreams..."
His words broke the silence, and aside from another moment of quiet, they were filled with complex emotions. The goddess felt something rolling in the corner of her eye and instinctively reached up to wipe it away. Her fingers were damp, and without thinking, she opened her hand... She stared at Xiao Qiang in shock, her eyes filled with questions about why she was crying.
Suddenly, Jack felt like he was a piece of glass as they locked eyes without noticing him. He quietly slipped out from the side and closed the door behind him, realizing he needed to stay outside for a few minutes.
The goddess slowly took out the Chain and removed it... handing it to Xiao Qiang.
"Twist open the pendant at the bottom. There’s a secret left by my mother inside."
The goddess remained silent but indeed twisted open the pendant, her nails prying at the bottom... Xiao Qiang was extremely nervous; their recognition depended on this moment. As the goddess gradually lifted the bottom, a colorless and odorless mist suddenly dispersed into the air.
