An Aeon Belonging to One Person Alone? (Continued)

Feixiao sighed.

The obsession that had sustained the swordswoman named Acheron all the way to this point...

Especially since it was the obsession of an Annihilation Gang member.

"So, back to the point: Acheron should have found a new path now, and she's walking it, but she can't get through."

"A conflict?"

"Not exactly. Take The Hunt, for example. He vanished after firing the arrow that destroyed the Ambrosial Arbor, and when he appeared again, he was already an Aeon."

Illusion Moon chose an example Feixiao could easily understand.

"Though Acheron's situation is somewhat different, when all is said and done, if she can slash at Nihility with all her strength and still survive, she should be able to forge a new path."

"...Isn't that far too difficult?"

"For her, it's simply something she must do."

Illusion Moon shook her head.

The crucial difference lay in the desire to live. Though Illusion Moon had never seen Acheron at her peak, she could imagine that if the Acheron of that era had encountered Nihility, there would have been no desire to survive when she swung her blade.

But now... at the instant Acheron swung her sword... she would probably think of Liu Bai, wouldn't she?

(A Path opposite to Nihility... It feels even narrower than The Hunt.)

No, perhaps it would be very broad.

Perhaps broad enough to approach Preservation.

(Would it simply be the denial of Nihility, or would it truly be the opposite of Nihility...)

But regardless of which path it was, once Acheron made it through, they would be nothing more than ordinary mortals to her.

(But from another perspective, it's not impossible that this rapist might end up becoming an "Aeon belonging solely to Liu Bai.")

Illusion Moon even made a lighthearted joke to herself.

After all,
