"Of course, I gladly agree."
Ian would not—nor could he—refuse the help of a Void Realm Mech-God on the level of the Final Defense in guarding the Void Realm.
Light's Embrace above, it felt like a drowsy man stumbling upon a pillow. When he had seen those countless white Void Realm Mech-Gods wrapped around the True Demon's body in the Light Realm, that had been the very thing on his mind.
—Perhaps this was the greatest legacy the Pre-Epoch Civilization had left to the Terra Era.
Yes, the greatest legacy.
Ian knew perfectly well what Terra would become without Void Realm Mech-Gods.
The disasters and suffering accumulated through the Lost Epoch, the resentment and hatred forged by sacrifice and death after death, would all dissipate along with the souls of the dead, turning into black mud within the Void Realm Abyss. Bit by bit, bit by bit, they would shape the embryos of demons, creating the "shadowed Terra Abyss" and bringing forth demons belonging to all Terrans.
In those abyssal star systems, countless demons might even gather together and create their own "Demon King"...
Or rather, an "Evil God."
