Ye Bai looked up and saw that it was Jubino and others.
Dr. Jubino's lower body was completely scorched, and the wings that had once grown from his back had vanished in the explosion.
He revealed his true appearance.
When he saw Ye Bai, he was slightly surprised.
But soon, his gaze fell on Eliza in his arms.
Eliza opened her eyes and looked at him with deep affection.
A fluctuation appeared in her azure pupils.
Tears filled the corners of her eyes.
She was severely injured, and it was because of this that her consciousness could temporarily escape the control of the Relics of the Old Gods.
The lower half of Eliza's body had disappeared, and only one arm remained.
"Jubino, is that you?"
Eliza stared at Jubino's weary face.
She struggled to raise her hand, placing it on Dr. Jubino's bristly beard.
"I'm sorry, I've let you drift through so much time in a daze."
"I thought about you constantly, but I was controlled by the Relics of the Old Gods, and my body was simply not under my control."
"Every moment I spent here was tormenting."
"In fact, I had long since broken free from the seal."
"But I was imprisoned here at the Lake Bottom Research Institute."
"Jubino, I missed you so much."
This confession of missing you left Jubino momentarily lost, and he choked out a reply: "I missed you very much too, Eliza."
"Every moment without you, I missed you immensely."
"Whenever night fell, I felt guilty and asked myself, is research really so important?"
"It made me lose my beloved one, Eliza, it's me who let you down."
"If it weren't for those people's schemes, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
"I promised you back then, once the Steel Giant Dragon was completed, I would quit my job, find a secluded little town, and live an ordinary life."
"Then we would create the fruit of our love, and live day by day like this, year after year, until we grew old."
Dr. Jubino choked with emotion.
"But I didn't manage to do it at all, I was never a good husband who could give you a beautiful life."
"The day you mutated, my heart died completely."
"So I sacrificed my soul, selling it to the Young Angel, in exchange for the chance to come here."
"Eliza, just being able to see you makes me satisfied."
Dr. Jubino's wish came true; being able to see his awakened wife made him satisfied.
He dared not ask for too much, fearing that this was but a fragile dream, a bubble that would burst with the slightest touch.
"Eliza, forgive me, I want your soul to find liberation."
"Let us venture to the stars and seas together."
She had already been transformed into an Exotic Beast by the Relics of the Old Gods, and her only weakness was her heart.
As long as her heart remained intact, no matter how severe the injuries, Eliza could recover.
Once Eliza recovered, her consciousness would disappear again, and there was still the risk of being assimilated by the Relics of the Old Gods.
Dr. Jubino wanted Eliza to die in her human form.
This was the greatest respect he could offer Eliza.
"Goodbye, Eliza!"
Dr. Jubino reached out his hand and pierced through Eliza's four hearts.
This was her fatal weakness.
Blood spurted from Eliza's mouth, running down the corners of her lips.
She had already lived a muddled life, and it was enough.
Having her loving companion with her to venture to the stars and sea was also pretty good.
At this moment, she finally found complete liberation.
As for Dr. Jubino, since he had been in contact with the Relics of the Old Gods for a shorter time, he still managed to control his thoughts.
Eliza slowly closed her eyes, and at this moment, Dr. Jubino's gaze fell on Ye Bai.
He looked at the Steel Giant Dragon behind Ye Bai.
"This is a wonderful fellow," Jubino had already shattered his Heart Core by this point.
The eye on his head was pierced by a stone, oozing black liquid.
The Relics of the Old Gods suffered severe damage.
"Ye Bai, you are an outstanding researcher."
Dr. Jubino struggled to remove a necklace from his chest pocket and threw it to Ye Bai.
"This is actually a hard drive, containing the fruits of my life's research."
"I hope you can inherit my achievements and benefit humanity."
"It contains information about the indescribable beings and the Relics of the Old Gods that I studied."
Dr. Jubino's voice had become extremely weak, each sentence leaving him gasping for breath.
"But I'm from the Flame Country, not the Beautiful Country, is it appropriate for me to take this?"
Dr. Jubino shook his head, using all his strength to speak: "I... have told you... one thing."
"Science... has... no... borders."
"The Steel... Giant Dragon's... activation password is... zero... six... one"
"seven... nine... eight."
After speaking, Dr. Jubino looked deeply at Eliza, grasping her hand as he drew his final breath.
At this moment, a piece of black charcoal beneath Jubino suddenly moved.
The charcoal gently shook off, transforming into a wounded Young Angel covered in numerous cuts.
Its wings twisted, tightly clinging to its back.
The Young Angel cracked open a wide smile.
"What a pitiful person."
"But in the end, he still found his beloved one again."
Then, a pink aura began to rise from Dr. Jubino and his wife's bodies.
In the mid-air, it condensed together, forming a pink crystal.
