The meeting between the Mechanical Settlement and Svarog went very smoothly, and everyone carefully reviewed the documents and videos related to the Stellaron in its database.
"Now the truth is out..."
"Ignoring the fragmented details... the conclusion is that the world's higher-ups, and the Guardians themselves, actually knew all along that the [ Stellaron ] was the source of the disaster."
"But for the sake of the city's stability, they chose to conceal the truth. And the secret research aimed at destroying the Stellaron also ended in failure."
"Now there's only one question left... Why did the current Supreme Guardian Cocolia, suddenly change her personality so drastically?" Dan Heng speculated. The recorded videos mentioned that the voice of the Stellaron had always resided in the Guardian's mind, lingering there.
The results of years of research are before us; the evidence is conclusive: the Stellaron is the root of everything.
However, the public found it hard to accept this outcome, especially since it was initiated by the first Supreme Guardian, Alisa Rand, that caused the world to be covered by the Eternal Freeze.
Bronya struggled to steady herself; in just two days, she had experienced far too many things beyond her comprehension, and was still somewhat overwhelmed.
It was as if faith had collapsed.
"That's a bit too much information for you." Xing cast a sympathetic glance at her, reminding her that mindset is crucial for being a successful Supreme Guardian.
"At dawn, the guardians shall shine like bright stars, illuminating the path for the people."
"When darkness falls, the guardians should be like a warm hearth, comforting the hearts of the people."
"After all these years... has everything I've followed been a lie?"
After Bronya finished speaking, Seele offered words of comfort:
"Alright, stop looking so down. It's not like you can't share your feelings with others. What's the point of keeping your worries bottled up inside?"
"Keeping your worries inside ultimately stems from a feeling of superiority and a reluctance to appear weak in front of others."
"This isn't the upper class; there's less suspicion and more rules. Whatever your troubles, you can speak them out loud."
" Bronya, cheer up!" March 7th encouraged her from the side.
Hmm, I wonder how good the heir to the Supreme Guardian is at pillow fights.
"Thank you... I just want to sort things out in my mind first. These fragments of history, all the knowledge I once learned, are now a jumbled mess in my head. I... I don't know what I should believe."
"You can trust us!" March 7th smiled. No matter what happens, the Astral Express Crew will always be their strong support.
The most urgent task is to deal with the Stellaron.
"You know exactly what you're supposed to do. You've lived in lies long enough, Bronya. Now's your chance to break free!"
The perspective shifts to Ye Yan's side, Sampo says with a hint of regret:
"Ah~ what a pity, I didn't get to see a thrilling and exciting fight scene." He looked up at Ye Yan; with him there, any fight would only result in a one-sided victory.
"I agree with the idea that people love to watch the drama unfold. But if you say that the fun lies in people fighting each other... then I have something to say about that."
Ye Yan disliked internal strife, and the reason can be traced back to the time when those two scoundrels, Aha and Akivili, infiltrated the Church of Eternity and instigated a civil war.
Hmm, it seems that his priest became a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) around that time, but he didn't press the matter further.
It's obvious without even guessing that it was Aha who did it; the kind and approachable Akivili would never do such a thing.
At the time, the priests and the Chair were busy writing doctrines, so they locked themselves in the dungeon to avoid being disturbed.
Taking advantage of the absence of the two Emanator closest to Ye Yan, Aha and Akivili disguised themselves as followers of the [ Eternity ] Chair, and pretended to argue in front of him.
When discussing what true " Eternity " really is, Aha and Akivili's impassioned speeches completely swayed the acting Chair.
Then they came to the city and divided into two groups to instill different ideas of [ Eternity ] in the residents.
Not long after the Church was founded, a historic event occurred: a civil war within the Church.
Why does Chair Blake say that every believer and practitioner of [ Eternity ] is welcome, even if everyone's beliefs are different? As long as you believe in the [ Eternity ] Aeon, then we are all one family, all thanks to Him.
Hmm... In that case, Ye Yan should thank Aha and Akivili. Thanks to them, the Church has become more united.
This is the true [ The Family ]!
Suddenly, two black shooting stars streaked across the sky at incredible speed, and Ye Yan managed to spot them in a fleeting instant, drawing his attention.
Wait a minute... this energy seems familiar.
Jarilo-VI, Administrative District
After a successful communication with Himeko and Welt, it was confirmed that Ye Yan was indeed on this planet.
Before leaving, Blake gave Himeko and Welt a bunch of Church -made soaps, including a version that could be used as a bomb.
"Hmm... unprecedented, such a vast amount of Imaginary Energy can be contained in a bar of soap." Welt carefully examined the bar of soap in his hand.
Just to be on the safe side, let's put this soap, which contains the Church's sincerity, away for now.
"Wait a minute..."
Himeko sensed something was wrong. If she remembered correctly... Dan Heng had this kind of soap with him before getting on the train, and it seemed that he had brought it to Jarilo-VI on March 7th as well.
Hmm, that bar of soap in Little March's hand... could it possibly be used as a bomb...?
Himeko felt a sense of foreboding.
Acting rashly was not in keeping with the Church's style, so Blake and Fulisina disguised themselves and traveled from the Outlying Snow Plains to the Administrative District.
"I can feel it! His presence is right there!" Fulisina covered her face with her scarf and looked towards the Goethe Hotel, which she had already designated as her primary target.
Blake put on a pair of special glasses; this was a unique way of dressing for the Church!
He once said: When you want to hide yourself, the best way is not to hide! Show your best self!
"On this planet, not only are there frozen Antimatter Legion, but the existence of the Cancer of All Worlds has also been detected..."
Blake narrowed his eyes; he already knew why the planet was covered in snow.
No need to think about it, the great Him came here to lend a helping hand to this weak planet.
"Ah, praise to Eternity!" Blake blurted out.
God loves the world. Upon seeing the remains of the Jarilo-VI Antimatter Legion and the Stellaron, He willingly bowed His head and joined forces with the companions of the Lord of the Trailblaze to save the planet from fire and water!
"This sublime spirit... Elf, the ' Eternity Creed ' needs a refresh."
"[ Neverending ] Mechanical House, could it be!" Fulisina ignored Blake and focused her gaze on the mechanical house.
An unseen force was drawing her in!
Everwinter and Eternity, how similar they are! There's no mistake, the shop owner is His follower!
"Heh..." Fulisina covered her eyes with one hand, about to continue speaking, when a voice interrupted her:
"Hey, why are you still running around the city? Don't you know the Silvermane Guards are looking for you all over the place?"
