What All Share Is Mine Alone!

Infinite Space.

Above Infinite City hung the Golden Sun. Higher still lay an endless void no one else could reach. In that blackness, Mother entered a strange state.

Her consciousness took the form of an ordinary human and appeared in a vast white void.

"Is this my original body?"

She looked at her hands, then touched her face. An indescribable emotion suddenly stirred in her heart. She had forgotten how long it had been since she last saw her original appearance.

After losing her human body, she had wandered the universe in countless forms. Since arriving in Bolan World, she had walked the world wearing Hawkins's skin.

She had almost forgotten what she looked like.

Countless rays of golden light gathered before her, forming a languid man.

He floated in front of her, sprawled as if on a sofa. He yawned, opened his eyes, and said, "A fellow Earthling? Wait, are you a man or a woman? Why can't I tell?"

"Gender no longer exists on Earth in the future. All it takes is one injection and a night's sleep to become a man or a woman. Of course, if you can't be bothered with either, you can choose to be sexless. That was my final form," she explained.

"People in the future sure know how to have fun," the man marveled. "Well, fellow Earthling, since you've obtained the Little Angel of Happiness Crystal, you can try taking hold of your own happiness. Good luck. I'm rooting for you."

"Wait, wasn't this crystal supposed to let us wield invincible power?" she hurriedly asked.

The man stopped dissolving. "Who told you the little crystal could make you invincible? Well, whoever it was, I can tell you plainly: this crystal does only one thing. It lets you obtain the happiness you desire."
