[GT-Finality Core] [GT-The End, exclusive core] [Level: ??] [The Director of the GT Mechanical Research Institute created it through a chance coincidence, using the residual [Finality] left at the moment of death as its foundation, in a world after a [The End] had been killed.] [This is a unique object. It cannot be replicated or reconstructed.]
Ye Qiyan reached out ahead of him.
"It would be such a shame to keep such a beautiful core bound forever."
The chains snapped.
Like a pet dog catching its owner's scent, the core flew toward him the instant it was freed.
"Hum, hum..."
The core hummed repeatedly.
Messiah's voice came from his other hand.
"Although I sensed it long ago, this is my first time actually seeing it.
"It shows signs of being artificial, yet bears traces of having formed naturally.
"Contradictory. Bizarre.
"So that's how it is."
"What did you sense?"
Ye Qiyan looked at the core and spoke softly.
"An instance of The End. I can sense it. Inside this core, there is an instance of The End that has not been unsealed, with no Authority, no Self, no name-nothing at all.
"What a pity..."
"What is there to pity?"
Messiah did not notice how bright Ye Qiyan's eyes were at that moment and continued with its own understanding:
"A pity, because this core itself is a failed creation.
"Or, to be precise, both this core and the thing it is meant to create are works that cannot be completed, cannot proceed, and can even already be confirmed as failures.
"Because it is missing something.
"But no one will know what exactly is missing.
"Because that is precisely what it lacks.
"Something that does not exist."
"Something that doesn't exist, huh~"
Ye Qiyan gently stroked the Finality Core itself.
