That voice was cold, yet carried a different kind of warmth.
[In the long night ahead, you will likely suffer many setbacks and witness countless tragedies.]
[And when you make your choice, a spot of red will appear once more in the black-and-white world.]
The scene shattered.
The purple Swarm blotted out the sky, while a silver-white mech streaked into it with a long trail of light, like a star flying against its course.
Ye Qiong saw the face inside the cockpit.
Firefly gritted her teeth. Purple cracks covered her cheeks, and tears hung in her eyes without falling.
Then he heard Jade's voice.
"I come to pay homage, I come to pour the wine, I come to possess."
"I bestow poison beneath the guise of sweet dew. Sow in spring, reap in autumn, and wait quietly for withered fruit to fill the branches."
"All shall be offered to... the Amber Lord!"
At that moment, the world shattered like glass.
Ye Qiong saw the Amber Lord's silhouette emerge from the depths of the cosmos, swinging a massive hammer down upon Ena's phantom, which had brought Penacony the threefold dream of Ena.
Then countless figures fell from the sky.
A red blade flashed across Penacony, bringing endless black and white.
Sparkle raised that red bomb in the rain.
With a smile, she shouted:
"Boom!"
Countless explosions rang out.
Robin spread her blue wings and sang the final note amid the sea of flames.
All of Penacony blazed as bright as day amidst the explosions.
And at that moment, he too fell from the sky.
The wind howled past his ears.
Ye Qiong spread his arms and fell through the burning night sky.
Sparks brushed past him like rain falling upward.
Just then, a streak of purple light caught up to him.
