Xicks’s attacks became more and more intense, one after another. This was humanity’s last fortress. If Fort Müller were taken, Xicks’s alien beast army would wreak merciless havoc on human territory. Humans would be reduced from the masters of the universe to food, marking the start of an endless, bitter struggle.

Fort Müller absolutely must not be defeated, and Xicks must die. If Xicks were gone, the masterless beasts would no longer pose their current threat. 7icedH

Ye Ming put on a crisp military uniform, stepped into a pair of boots, and walked out of their room.

It was already very late at night, but the base was still brightly lit. Every day, there were more casualties. In the face of this great danger, the humans stopped infighting and fought fearlessly against the alien beasts.

Cossen was a marshal—he could not rest for even a second.

The event just a moment ago was a rare indulgence. GSwWuQ

Ye Ming left the base and returned to Veronica’s manor. Given his identity, he had complete freedom to enter and exit at will.

But Ye Ming didn’t go see Veronica. Instead, he arrived at the vacant grounds of the manor and stared at the huge silver-white mech in front of him. This was his Zhuria. He reached out and stroked it. Just when he was about to go up, he suddenly heard a sad voice coming from behind him.

Gege, where are you going?”

Ye Ming stiffened. Slowly, he turned around and saw Veronica standing not far away with a look of surprise in her eyes. Her lips were trembling a little, and she looked very breakable.

BGgQ 9

The sight sent a stab of pain to Ye Ming’s heart. Because of the connection between their blood, he could almost feel Veronica’s pain…

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say goodbye to her. Rather, he couldn’t bear to.

Veronica understood the emotions in Ye Ming’s eyes, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart disappeared. Her voice shook. Her fists were clenched tightly. She bit her lip. “You want to leave us again?”

Ye Ming sighed quietly. He looked up and said, “I’m the only person who can get close to Xicks.” 2l89Ue

Veronica suddenly became agitated. She exclaimed, “We can kill it! We can win! We don’t need you to go off and sacrifice yourself alone! I forbid you from going. I forbid you from leaving me again!”

“Is that so…” Ye Ming looked momentarily distracted, following which he broke into a smile. He said, “I’m very glad I was able to know who I am and that I got to meet you…really…”

“Although I don’t have memories of the past, I’ve never forgotten what my heart desired or what my mission was…Vera, if Saen were still alive, if he’d never left, he would make the same decision I’m making. Do you understand?”

The rims of Veronica’s eyes were red. She wouldn’t accept this kind of outcome! They had only just been reunited! vcmf z

Ye Ming gazed at her tenderly. All of a sudden, he leapt forward, quickly rushing toward Veronica. Before she could react, he struck her neck with his hand hard!

Veronica didn’t expect Ye Ming to suddenly come at her and didn’t have the chance to react at all. She just felt dizzy and collapsed bonelessly.

Ye Ming quickly reached out to catch Veronica. He gently rested her on the ground and kissed her forehead, his eyes sad and his voice gentle and low. “Sorry.”

But if Saen were still alive, he would also rather die for the human race…If the meaning behind his existence was to kill Xicks, then he wouldn’t hesitate at all either. jpiHuk

Veronica weakly, slowly shut her eyes. She wanted to reach out and grab hold of the person in front of her, but she couldn’t grab him. She could only watch as he walked further and further away. She cried silently, despairing and helpless.

Ye Ming climbed into Zhuria. He lightly touched the gear stick, and the screens all around him lit up in an instant.

“Your Highness Saen, do you require my service?”

The corners of Ye Ming’s lips tugged into a small smile. He said, “Yes. This will be our last battle. Are you afraid?” cumxiP

“I am not afraid of anything because I do not possess the emotion of fear.”

Ye Ming burst into laughter. He piloted the mech, flying away.

[Ye Ming: I’m off to save the world now, oh yeah!!!]

[888: …] 9EAYNd

[Ye Ming: So exciting, so thrilling.]

[888: Calm down. After all, you’re saving the world. Watch your image.]

[Ye Ming: Right right right. I have to pay attention to my image! Let’s go!]

……………… UIA1MC

Cossen and the other high-ranking officers were in the largest command room at the base. The groups of alien beasts outside of Fort Müller kept growing, their overwhelming attacks coming at them over and over. All kinds of alien beasts divided up their work and acted in concert with each other. They were very well-organized. And their large bodies put immense pressure on the human army…The situation was not looking optimistic.

The officers all wore grave expressions. At a time like this, none of them were in the mood to argue with each other anymore. Their only concern was to keep this horde of alien beasts outside of Fort Müller! If they forced their way inside, the tragedies of Fort Laris and Fort Frederick would repeat themselves, and their chances of survival would be less than one in ten thousand.

But that wasn’t even the most important thing…The most important thing was the boundless fertile territory behind them, where their families and friends lived. It would all be ravaged by the alien beasts.

In the huge screen in the middle of the command room, several huge sky beasts were ramming into the defensive perimeter ferociously. DkwM4a

Lieutenant General Cassius’s eyes went red as he watched. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Marshal, I propose we activate our ultimate weapon. We won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”

Xicks’s attack this time was fiercer than its previous two. It was clear that it was absolutely determined to overtake this last standing fortress. Once it defeated this place, the humans would no longer be able to fight back, so it was using up its final trump card.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Even if there weren’t any infected, it would still be very difficult for Fort Müller to fend Xicks off.

Once Xicks realized, this weapon would lose its purpose. It was completely pointless to kill only a fraction of the alien beasts because there was no end to them.

Cossen slowly spoke, “Wait a little longer.” F0JEjR

The atmosphere was solemn. Everyone watched the screen, unblinking.

Just then, in the midst of the fierce battle, a conspicuous silver-white mech flew forth! Her huge wings painted a smooth arc against the darkness of the universe. She rushed headlong into the horde of alien beasts with the momentum of a hot knife cutting butter, beautiful and brave!

Everyone widened their eyes, watching in disbelief. Despite how beautiful and formidable the mech was, it seemed so tiny in the midst of the horde of alien beasts. She wouldn’t be able to kill all the beasts. This was a suicide mission!

Cossen also watched the scene, unable to believe it. Then his expression changed dramatically, and he yelled, “Your Highness Veronica! Come back quickly!” Zjz3Gc

Was she crazy? Didn’t she know she would die? Back then, he watched on helplessly as Saen, in order to hold off the alien beasts while others escaped, was engulfed by them…Did he have to watch his sister die fighting for humanity, just like him, several years later?

One single person’s blind sacrifice was completely pointless.

And even just for Saen, he definitely couldn’t let Veronica throw her life away!

Cossen pressed his hand firmly on the table in front of him, complexion ashen. “Your Highness, you are acting against military orders. I am currently the highest ranking officer here. I command you to return! Now, immediately!” RWCghD

But no matter how much he shouted, that mech would not turn back. Just when Cossen couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to personally rush out and stop her, they finally got through to the mech’s communicator, and a figure appeared in the video feed.

But it wasn’t Veronica. It was Harvey.

The officers stared at the screen in a daze, with their jaws dropped. After receiving surprise after surprise, they practically couldn’t snap out of it.

What was going on?! 6qXrOs

The young man was wearing a neat black military uniform. Even his collar was buttoned up perfectly. There was a smile on his delicate, pretty face. His eyes were warm and confident, his bearing easy-going but also innately dignified. He was enchanting.

He smiled a little. His voice was clear and distinct.

At that moment, the huge command room was completely silent. Only his voice reverberated throughout it.

“Xicks values me a lot, and it kept telling me to return…I definitely don’t think it would let go of any opportunity to recapture me and absorb me into its body. iTSRKm

“I’ve already injected a nanotracker into my blood. As long as Xicks swallows me, you’ll be able to locate it and annihilate it in one go.

“But it’s important to note that once it swallows me, it’ll quickly figure out that something’s wrong, so there will only be a very short span of time during which you can respond. This is the only…chance to find it and kill it.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Now the young man was about to end the call, and the attacks he was facing were becoming fiercer and fiercer; his body swayed.

Countless alien beasts began to rush at him, as if just as he’d predicted, Xicks would try to recapture him at all costs. MfV0bD

He put his hand on the button to end the call. Before he did, he turned and glanced at them again, but his gaze seemed to pierce through the space and time of the universe, landing on one single person. That gaze seemed to be saying something. It seemed to be telling that person to trust him, to trust that he wouldn’t let him down.

He said, “Please be sure to win.”

Then he cut off the call.

Although it was only one sentence, in that moment, everyone in the room understood that it was not directed at all of them, but only to that one person… FGB6y3

He wanted to tell him that for the sake of humanity, he must win.

Cossen stared rigidly at the screen in front of him. The call was over. The young man’s figure was completely gone. And the white mech, in the blink of an eye, was already so far away he could no longer see it…

No! You can’t! You’re not allowed!

You want to go off by yourself and die again! You want to sacrifice yourself for humanity again! You’re always so selfless, so admirable, but have you ever thought about me? The ones who’ll still be alive and still love you? YdD725

You only just came back, and you’re leaving us again?

At that moment, Cossen had lost all reason. His only thought was to rescue him, to stop him, and to bring him back! His eyes wide, he turned and rushed out!

Why do you have to selfishly make this kind of decision?! Why are you leaving me again?

Just yesterday, we were just fine. I even dreamed of our future together…Everything was just fine yesterday… I46Cjd

When they saw Cossen about to charge out of the door, the officers finally reacted. They rushed over to stop Cossen with all their might. Right now, any one of them was more cool-headed and rational than Cossen.

If they could kill Xicks and obtain victory by sacrificing only Harvey, then that was undoubtedly a fortunate thing for humanity.

For Harvey…no, for His Highness Saen, it was too cruel, but that was his wish! He hoped they could win!

But Cossen’s eyes were red, through and through. He had already gone mad. He was an SSS-grade human, the strongest fighter present. The officers crowded around him and were almost unable to stop him. Lieutenant General Cassius grabbed Cossen’s arm and was flung away. General Monroe blocked Cossen from the front and received a punch that broke a rib. suIY4v

But still, despite broken limbs and coughed-up blood, they did all they could to stop Cossen.

“Let me go! I have to go save him! There has to be some other way!” Cossen’s eyes were blood red.

Just then, there was the sound of sharp footsteps. A tall, silver-haired, violet-eyed woman walked over, raised her hand, and slapped Cossen’s face.

Cossen’s head turned to the side. He looked at the woman in front of him and was suddenly unable to move and unable to do anything to her. IE8YXn

Veronica had tears in her eyes. She bit her lip. She said distinctly, “It’s already too late.”

Cossen listened, his eyes pools of deathly stillness. This sentence seemed to drag him out of some deranged dreamscape he was unable to break free from, and it hauled him into another lifeless hell, telling him that by now he could no longer do anything about it.

No matter how much it hurt, there was no point anymore…

Because it was already too late. He’d already lost him. 2h1Esl

Veronica lifted her chin obstinately, tears pooling at the edges of her eyes, though they refused to flow down.

She turned to look ahead at the screen. Her voice was hoarse. “Look. That’s the visual feed from Zhuria.”

They followed her voice and turned to look at the screen.

Zhuria was already utterly wrecked and could no longer fight. She was swarmed by the alien beasts and flown into the depths of the universe. Gradually…an untamed planet appeared in front of them. c8RluU

That planet was hidden amongst a cluster of meteorites, utterly inconspicuous. Its surface was littered with craters, like there were many cave mouths spitting and swallowing.

As they got closer and closer to it, people realized that the surface of the planet was actually made of flesh, and what seemed to be tentacle-like objects from a distance were actually multiple huge tentacles. Suddenly, a huge crack split down that fleshy surface, and an enormous, golden, vertically slitted pupil appeared—in the next second, the image completely disappeared, leaving only darkness.

The people, however, were still immersed in that shocking scene.

After a long time, someone said shakily, “That…was Xicks’s body…” fvYtR3

Xicks was actually a planet, a living planet.

A horrifying planet with countless tentacles and eyeballs.

Its body was infinitely bigger than any giant sky beast. Any human or alien beast was miniscule in comparison to it. This was why it had such tremendous power of consciousness that could control those hordes of beasts, and why it could synthesize the infected inside of its own body…

Cautious and careful, it camouflaged as an untamed, inconspicuous planet, so no human had ever discovered it… xyiBw8

Just then, the tracker on the screen flashed a bright red.

Veronica’s eyes were very red and her voice hoarse. She turned to Cossen and said, determined, “Gege trusts you. Are you going to let his sacrifice go to waste?”

Cossen’s hands shook.

Xicks had already swallowed Ye Ming. They were fused together…Killing Xicks meant killing Ye Ming. viLznk

Veronica’s tears finally spilled out from her eyes, but her gaze was nevertheless determined, as if through the universe she could see that person who would never return again.

My brother, this is your wish?

General Monroe and all the other officers looked at Cossen. They said, “Marshal, please activate the weapon.”

The ultimate weapon required Cossen’s highest authority to launch. DGckxT

And only the ultimate weapon could annihilate Xicks, which was the size of a planet, all at once. This was the closest they had ever been to victory, and the one time they had hope of winning. If they let Xicks get away this time, they would never be able to find it again.

Instead, a horrible catastrophe would befall humanity.

Saen was already dead. Xicks must also die.

Cossen stared fixedly at the already blank screen. He couldn’t see that person, couldn’t hear his voice. But his last words echoed in his ears. Dxr1mX

He said: Please be sure to win.

You trust me so much. You trust that I’ll definitely follow your will and preserve your wishes. You trust…that I won’t let your sacrifice go to waste.

Because we used to have such a deep understanding of each other. We weren’t only lovers, we were also comrades that could trust and rely on each other.

But right now, I would rather not be able to understand your expression and your words, abandon all righteousness, and just be an obstinate person. JoHsRc

Because sometimes it’s truly very exhausting and painful to persevere. 

But…how could I bear to let you down? How could I bear to not even let you rest in peace?

Finally, Cossen slowly lifted his hand. His body felt like it weighed thousands of catties. But he kept telling himself that this was what his beloved wished for. He should abide by his wishes…

His hand rested on the launcher. Right at the moment before the light of the tracker disappeared, he pressed down. etDqTE

A huge, bright beam of light penetrated across the entire universe! The beam of light shot through any alien beasts in its way, turning them into dust. Finally, it shot through that planet. Dazzling, brilliant rays of light bloomed in the cosmos like stars shimmering in the night sky, brightening the endless darkness with their starlight.

This scene was so magnificent and majestic, everyone held their breaths.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Cossen kept his hand pressed down on the button, motionless. That one gentle action seemed to have taken away his soul, spiriting him away along with that person.

I once vowed to protect you with my life. I once vowed never to let Xicks get its hands on you again. But I couldn’t do it… W9VxGJ

I couldn’t do anything at all.

I couldn’t save you in the past, and I couldn’t save you today, either. Instead, I killed you with my own hands.

Just because it was your will.

Everyone in the command room was staring fixedly at the beam of light. When it finally disappeared and everything became calm again, everyone remained motionless. BadZfq

Was Xicks dead? Had they succeeded?

None of them dared to be certain.

An indefinite amount of time later, a colonel in one corner suddenly yelled happily, “The alien beasts’ attacks have weakened! They—they’re starting to become disorganized!”

Now, everyone else finally began to pull out of it. The command room began to bustle again. One after another, the officers contacted the front lines. q MJDn

“Hello? How are you guys?”

“Groups of alien beasts have fled? Really?”

“They aren’t working together anymore? They’ve exposed weaknesses? Attack! Quickly attack!”

“Xicks is dead! Xicks is really dead!” T u3wi

Veronica watched the scene in front of her. Suddenly, she turned around and left.

Cossen bowed his head and looked down at his hand. Something seemed to want to spill out from his eyes, but he was so anguished that it dried up before it could spill out. Finally, it felt like only one drop of wetness fell onto the back of his hand, but he also couldn’t tell if it was real.

He had won. But why did he feel even more sorrow and despair?

……………… XJdMDt

Because Xicks had died, the alien beasts no longer knew how to work together, and they didn’t fear death. These beasts were quickly either killed off or fled in terror. Although there was still much to take care of, and the alien beasts couldn’t be completely exterminated, the fatal crisis was now over.

A few days later, a video appeared on the universe’s internet. Everyone in the Human Federation could see the young man with one purple and one golden eye in the video. He piloted a silver-white mech and rushed toward a horde of alien beasts like a god. Before he was swallowed up by Xicks, he said one last thing.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

The confidence in his gaze, the smile on his lips—the way he looked was engraved in everyone’s hearts.

His words echoed in everyone’s hearts. tm26Tk

This person had a completely different voice and appearance from Saen…but they had the same heart. Whether or not he was human, whether or not he had his memories, he always held onto his desire to protect humanity.

That was a genuine, everlasting soul…Even though he was dead, he would still live on in everybody’s hearts.

No one would forget him.

Everyone who’d once vilified him now felt ashamed and unable to show their faces. KHp 4A

For three full days, the human race mourned for him.

The name Harvey was engraved in everybody’s memories and engraved in human history, just like Saen was….but he was no longer a spurned traitor. Instead, he was a true hero.

He brought hope and victory to the people.

Three months later, Roy was transported to the capital star and was sentenced to death in front of the entire universe. 8xGF9t

It was said that before he died, he had already become delirious from the torment he’d suffered, but no one felt any sympathy for him.

Xicks was dead. The alien beasts had been defeated by the humans. Fort Müller was saved. People were jubilant…but Cossen refused to return to the capital star to receive honors. He just issued a statement, saying that the victory should not be credited to him…It should be credited to His Highness Saen and everyone else who died in battle.

Many years later, he still never left the borderlands.

Although they had won the war and his beloved was gone, he still had many things to do. He wanted to recover their lost territory. He wanted to kill every last alien beast. He wanted to remain where the one he loved had disappeared and to continue carrying on his legacy. cwOgM4

He didn’t want him to feel lonely in the dark, vast universe, so he would stay here with him.

Forever.

  1. Thank you for the new chapter~~

    On a side note: ” Crossed bowed his head and looked down at his hand.” <– I think Crossed should have been Cossen?

  2. This would indeed be such an interesting novel, maybe Saen/Harvey could then have a happy ending!

    QAQ

    Thanks for the chapter! (≧▽≦)

  3. Stay in place! Stay in place! Don’t flow down!! Tears!!! Nooo!!

    Ok I cried.

  4. Im crying 😭😭😭 this is so heartbreaking?? Cossen bro holy shit. This world was so sad my heart was wounded TTTT

    Thanks for the chapter!

  5. Thanks for the chapter!

    Indeed, this novel never fails to make more and more heartbreaking endings. Yet, why do I personally feel like this is the saddest one of all the endings so far? Ahhh,,, I hope that there may be an extra where they can return to live out a good life, or maybe an alternate universe where there isn’t world-hopping?

    • well ye ming and ML WILL get their happy ending, so don’t worry! they won’t return to any of these worlds that they’ve left, though, unless the author posts new extras in the future

  6. as much as i love this story and the worlds, I just hate how SAD the endings are. 😭

  7. i feel like unlike the other gongs, this one did not deserve a sad ending ;(

  8. First, gong fall in love then betray then love prevail but still had to kill shou…they’re both in love. Evil author ur a genius.

    I like the evil planet too. Bet it fell in love with the prince and just wanted to be his everything so…tsundere(?). Thanks for the hard work. Stay safe and fighting.

  9. This last chapter had me crying so much! 😢 😭

    Also, I forgot to comment last time, I was super surprised that Cossen and Harvey had never had sex! That’s what made the gong abuse very sad as well, when Cossen was remembering how their first time was him raping Kevin. 😫 😩

    • oh nooo this just made me really sad too 🙁 yeah i was also surprised! like cossen and harvey just had the most precious, wholesome budding romance and then the universe went sike!!

  10. This chapter made me emotional reading it from Cossen’s POV. Especially the perseverance part 😭. I don’t understand, Ye Ming and 888 came to reduce the blackenjng value and they do that. But they leave the ML distraught. Leaving them to be sorrowful and alone forever. That’s the only thing I dislike. They are sad till the end of their lives, thinking of their beloved in pain.😩

  11. It always gets me when they stay near the Mc’s death places and are like I don’t want him to be alone

  12. Oh god. That was so sad. Poor Cossen. If any of these MLs deserved happiness, it was Cossen. 😭😭😭😭

  13. T_T i wish the ending is happy.. i mean, in every world, he must die in order to complete his task to rid of the blackened value. if i’m not mistaken, his last world was with Shen Ye. and he died in this world. i am curious about who was it that shot him dead.. was it Shen ye?

    • If i remember correctly, and this was a few hours ago/ like, yesterday. Jiang Ci’s father hated YM, and tried to ambush him. YM and JS has a fight over the gun, YM shot JS fatally, then committed suicide by shooting himself in the head while JC watched helplessly.

  14. T_T

    Thank you, thank you for translating beautifully.

  15. This is the ending that made me cry the most 😭😭

    And believe it or not, but there’s actually a funny ending in one of these arcs lol

    Albeit tragic, but still kinda funny…

    Don’t wanna spoil too much! Thanks for the chapter! 😘

  16. Im just here like Happy endings are so short when you consider the amount of pain we go through to get there

  17. I shouldn’t have read this so close to my period now im crying n eating icecream 😢

  18. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCOSSEN COSSEN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH COME BACK HARVEY

  19. Thank you very much for your hard work 😭🙏 i glad i didnt skip it because so much angst. Huhuhuhu… yeah, it actually good if it became standalone novel but i definitely will not read it because my poor heart cant take it 😭😂

  20. I don’t know which one is sadder, the first arc ir this arc I just cried like a bitch ToT

    Brb I’m going to take a few days to recuperate and continue the story…

  21. “he didn’t want him to feel lonely in the vast, dark universe” – cries silently in the foetal position.

  22. The author seems really determined to prove I’m a crybaby and it’s working. Is it possible for these MLS to have a happy ending?

  23. Im crying river of tears! Wuwuwuwu it was THAT good! why does he have to die every arc??? Just give me my HE already! Wuwuwuwu

  24. This was so good, a proper epic space opera. I’m so into this world building the author just threw together like it’s NBD. Cossen was absolutely the best ML version yet!

    Also, I think YM really cares a lot about his gongs, and about the story they tell together. I’m probably the only person who doesn’t think he’s scum…

  25. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

    The tears keep getting worse each arc. U can’t stop crying

    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  26. Jeez this arc was probably the best so far out of all this authors qt stories… I was engrossed from beginning to end! I agree, beansprout, this would have been an excellent standalone non-QT story too. I teared up at the epilogue…;-;

  27. I don’t know whether I regret re-reading this chapter or not QAQ It reminded me of all the bad and good things this novel had given me, oh so long ago.

    Ouch :”)

  28. I am crying reading this chapter.. The sacrifices even though we know it was done by our spicy chicken host but it is still so touching wuwuwu

  29. This arc by far is the most compelling. Ugh. I loved it so much. If not for the occassional bullsh*tting from the MC. He’s just too shamelesy funny. I just can’t. But I cried ugly with the ending. Damn. Keke sir. You deserve happiness.

  30. This was best QT Interstellar story out of anything out there. This was the best arc, I had to play music for the last chapter. It was so emotional, the characters all play their parts. even the villains. Xicks was a great villain. Cossen probably the best gong out of the stories I read from the authors 2 series so far. Also Harvey/Prince Saen damn, my tears , he’s so pure , gentle, kind and brave even he’s dead turn into a monster he still protected his people , this should a novel itself. I don’t know if the following arc can top this🙌

  31. There is a thought. High chance that I’m overthinking, but in every “collect affection points” worlds there is a plot hole. I’m not talking about author’s fault but about a literal plothole. In every arc there is always smth that wasn’t revealed while YM was collecting affection points. And this not reveled plots were very important and could greatly affect relationship with target mission. Like in previous arc where Chen Zhao actually kidnapped a child out of revenge, and here Harvey being an infected and a spy from Xicks, also his real identity of Prince Saen.

    All of this wasn’t reveled before when YM was collecting affection points, which means it leaves a big plot hole. Even so before system was able to preserve body even after leaving the world but still how could such an important plot could be reveled without a host? So, I think the blackening of a gong was smth that was predestined to happen anyway, bcs only after this the truth was reveled completely.
