2160, Patient Persuasion
Dagger of Mortis!
The only weapon capable of killing The Ones had now appeared in Tang Xiao's hand, and he was pointing it directly at Daughter's chest!
"Do not question my resolve, Daughter." Tang Xiao gritted his teeth. "I can tell you this: I live for the hundreds of billions of people in the Duchy of Dawn! For them, I would sacrifice everything! And you, Daughter? What is the meaning of your existence?"

"Indeed, I cannot understand the meaning of your existence, but neither can you understand mine!" Tang Xiao said, stressing every word. "But to protect this, I would rather give my life! And that is my answer!"
"Son has already gone mad. Are you going to go mad with him too?" Daughter snapped.
"Before accusing me of madness, you should think about what exactly you have done!" Tang Xiao shouted.
"This is for the balance of the Force!" Daughter raised her voice as well.
"If balance in the Force means sacrificing hundreds of billions of innocent civilians, then how is that balance any different from the Dark Side?!" Tang Xiao roared, almost as if venting everything he had held back.
"You've gone mad!" Daughter shouted.
"Then kill me!!" Tang Xiao bellowed.
Daughter clenched her teeth and was about to act, intending to smash Tang Xiao down from the sky. But suddenly, she realized something had appeared in her hand. Sharp, cold...
It was the Dagger of Mortis!
Tang Xiao had actually shoved the Dagger of Mortis into her hand?!
"You...?" Daughter's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Tang Xiao in stunned disbelief, momentarily unable to say anything.
But Tang Xiao merely lowered his head
