Chapter 1: Prologue: “Homage to Your Lofty Ideals”

It hurts so much.

Her fingers struggled desperately, but her feet couldn’t exert force, and she couldn’t stand up.

Her face lay on the ground.

The red dye from her own body stained her entire body crimson.

So painful–she coughed uncontrollably.

Looking down, she saw her own mouth involuntarily spitting blood.

“No… no…”

“Why is this happening…”

Tears welled in her eyes, her face filled with endless despair and helplessness.

The fan that pierced through her abdomen still carried her remnants.

Pwah–

She felt deeply the groaning of her internal organs, torment like seppuku, only by excessive blood loss could she…

So painful–

At this moment, her mind turned faster than usual.

Tell me–

Yao Xing–

What did you see at that moment?

What did you hear?

“I see… a darkness… enveloping me…”

“And also…”

‘Our ██ great enemy should be ██ , not each other.’

‘██ was summoned into the world, its mission originally to join other ██ shouldering the same responsibility to defeat the threat of ██, bringing ██ to ██.’

‘Actually… I don’t want to be bound by ██. More than ██, I hope for harmony among nations.’

‘(What sound…)’

‘(The world hasn’t changed, you haven’t changed. The only one who changed seems to be ██ .)
