Chapter 1188 -698: Parents’ Last Words, Confused Memories_2
Their gazes flickered slightly, and their emotions were unusually complex.
An inexplicable sense of sadness was slowly rising in the room.
Roger Baker patted Emma Lee on the back and changed the topic, “Of course, no one can truly predict the future. We’re only recording this message because of our feelings, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. Perhaps we’re just overthinking it? I hope that’s the case, hahaha…”
Emma Lee punched Roger Baker’s shoulder, “Be serious, we’re recording a message for Nico Ross.”
“Ohhh, alright,”
Roger Baker quickly sat up straight, his hands resting on his thighs, looking solemn. He lacked the dignity of a father and instead resembled a primary school student who had been caught doing something wrong by a teacher.
Clearly, Emma Lee’s slip of the tongue had unexpectedly reminded Roger Baker of the true recipient of their message, which in turn made him overly nervous.
Seeing her husband’s inability to maintain composure, Emma Lee quietly nudged the side of his thigh with her leg.
Roger Baker’s tense body relaxed slightly.
He glanced at his wife, somewhat embarrassed.
It was strange, for Roger Baker was already a veteran of many battles.
In the eleven years since he left No.7 Star to join the battlefield, he had experienced life-and-death crises no less than several dozen times.
While he had always managed to turn bad situations around, he had still found himself on the verge of death several times. But he had never been as nervous as he was now.
That was because, both logically and emotionally, he believed that these words might be the last he would say to the Reincarnation of Sages as a father.
The Destiny Covenant Mark on Nico Ross had shattered, and his emotional and mental state was too much like an ordinary person from the 21st century. So Roger Baker knew that his words today would undoubtedly have a lasting impact on the Reincarnation of Sages and, indirectly, on the fate of humanity.
Before speaking, he didn’t even have the opportunity to plan what to say.
He didn’t know whether to boost Nico Ross’s morale or to pull him back a little.
If he boosted Nico’s morale too much, exaggerating hatred, and causing him to be ruled by hatred before his memories were awakened, what if Nico made a mistake in the future battlefield and met an early demise?
But if he said nothing, and Nico was unable to perceive the true inner desires of him and his wife, which in turn would quietly affect the Reincarnation of Sages’ motivation to strive, suppressing his ultimate potential, what would he do then?
When the couple was still alive, Roger Baker was not so cautious, because no matter what mistakes were made, there would always be opportunities to make up for them as time went on.
But this time was different; it was their last words, their final instructions.
There would be no turning back afterwards.
Moreover, they had already read Harrison Clark’s biography of the previous life and knew of his fate.
Before he regained his memory, his parents had sacrificed themselves early on.
In that era, he might not even have had the chance to hear his parents’ last words.

Naturally, they should do their best to make up for the regrets of the Reincarnation of Sages to some extent.
After a long while, Roger Baker condensed his words into a single sentence.
“Son, your mother and I just want to tell you that having you as our child is our pride. We have never regretted joining this uncertain battle of life and death. Goodbye.”
After Roger Baker finished speaking, the recording came to an abrupt end.
In the depths of Nico Ross’s originally empty mind, the sound of collapsing icebergs gradually began to resound.
A small sapling emerged from the ground in his slightly desolate heart.
The sapling swayed in the wind, spreading and growing.
Its branches expanded like wildfire.
The leaves swelled in the strong wind.
The Beetles continued their work outside.
The other Flying Tiger Team members didn’t know about the tremendous changes taking place within Nico Ross’s heart.
The noises in Nico Ross’s mind and the repeated appearances of the Morrowind No.2 changed, transforming into fragmented images that only gave glimpses of the whole picture.
Some scattered “memories” that seemed to belong to him but also didn’t were gradually becoming clearer as the newly emerged sapling continued to grow.
Unknowingly, several more minutes had passed, and as the Flying Tiger Team members outside finished bundling up the ore, the growth of the sapling in Nico Ross’s heart suddenly halted.However, it didn’t completely stop; it was just trapped inside an invisible, unseen web.
The branches began to bend, the leaves kept piling up, and the shape of the entire tree was compressed into a sturdy spindle shape.
Nico Ross didn’t know what was happening to him, nor could he see the tree in his heart.
He only knew that there was a torrential rage boiling in his heart, but it had nowhere to vent.
He had raging hatred in his heart, but he needed a specific target.
Even though he knew the answer without asking, the army of the Compound-Eyed Observer killed Roger Baker and Emma Lee. He was well aware that his greatest enemy was right in front of him, waiting for him all along.
But this target was too large, too vague, making it impossible for him to find a specific foothold.
Unexpectedly, he issued an indisputable command in his heart seemingly without any goal.
“Tell me the specific details of the war. I want to watch the war footage.”
After a full five seconds, Vivian’s voice rang in Nico Ross’s ears, “You… Harrison Clark?”
As Star asked, she quietly tried to read Nico Ross’s thoughts and memories.
Logically, this should be an easy task, as Nico Ross’s consciousness was remotely connected to Star’s network through a brain link at the time.
But something strange happened: as soon as Star’s data probe approached, it seemed to hit an iron wall.
In the terms of an artificial intelligence civilization, it meant that Nico Ross’s brainwaves were encrypted.
Nico Ross repeated the command in his heart, this time more intense, with an unquestionable dominance and toughness.
“Alright.”
Although Star couldn’t figure out what was going on and wasn’t sure if Nico Ross had truly awakened, since this little guy was issuing such precise commands at the quantum network’s “air” without knowing that he was being watched, he must have undergone some changes.
Star opened the process of the First Special Warfare Army’s actions from the outbreak of the war until the death of Roger Baker and his wife.
Nico Ross chose 1,000 times the acceleration playback.
About three minutes passed, and when he saw Emma Lee’s Wind-Riding Special Warship Command Ship explode like a supernova in the universe, Nico Ross closed the recording.
“Glenoid Tribe. It’s the Glenoid Tribe. Aren’t we infiltrating the Glenoid Tribe Star now?”
He muttered to himself.
In the next instant, the Beetle controlled by Nico Ross shook violently.
His sudden outburst of brainwave emotions became uncontrollable, surpassing the Ultra-micro robots’ core limit, causing the Beetle that was cautiously flying low with four other team members to stagger violently.
The five Beetles were originally pulling the five-kilogram stone at a fast pace, but due to Nico Ross’s Beetle losing control and disrupting the balance, it crashed into a small metal drum bag in front of it.
With a loud bang.
Edgar and the others were thrown into disarray.
They naturally knew where the problem was and cast doubtful looks at Nico Ross.
“Captain, what’s wrong with you?”
Sophie Lee asked first.
Mata Nicholson, on the other hand, released the rope and walked quickly over.
At this moment, Nico Ross’s Beetle was completely standing still and motionless on the spot, even the faint light indicator representing energy operation had gone out.
Mata tried to wake up his equipment’s emergency mode and communicate through a brain link, only to receive a prompt in his system.
“Connection failed, target object has crashed. Flying Tiger Team’s No.01 lurking robot has been disconnected and is in a blank state.”
“Crashed?” Edgar was shocked. “Don’t joke around! What era is this? How could it crash? And what does disconnect mean? Did the captain exit the mission cabin at this time? Stop playing around!”
No wonder Edgar was irritable. They were all taking risks at the moment, and with this accident, their situation has become extremely dangerous.
Just then, Mata shouted and shared the intelligence provided by the Ultra-microscopic detector he had deployed nearby with the others.
In the projection inside their minds, an Anti-gravity Centipede was rushing towards them at an extremely fast speed from several kilometers away.
It was clear that the unusual noise made by their collision earlier had attracted attention.
