Strawberry Shortcakes

"Very well, I will do my best, Your Sera."

Castorice smiled; the unease she had felt earlier had vanished with Sera's words.

She knew perfectly well that Sera could accomplish this without her help; Cerydra and the others were perfect examples. But since Sera said she needed her, she understood Sera's intentions.

Sera... what a gentle person you are.

Castorice thought to herself.

"Hmph--"

Cyrene stood with her hands on her hips.

"Let's leave the stability of ' Remembrance ' to them."

In terms of Remembrance, Cyrene can be considered an expert; few people can rival her authority. What?! You dare to be more authoritative than Cyrene?! This is Fuli Cyrene from another storyline. Do you dare to look her in the eye for three seconds?

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Sera smiled indulgently. It seemed he could finally rest; all he needed to do was sort the collected data.

"Let's go, Tribios. We need to find a spacious place; 997 people can't fit in a regular room."

"Little Sera, just call us by our names separately!"

Trianne stood with her hands on her hips, while Tribbie and Ti Ning nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Tribios, I understand, Tribios."

"Yes— Tribbie, Trianne, and Ti Ning!"

Tribbie corrected her seriously.

"Now I really understand, Tribbie."

When Sera saw Tribbie's expression, she knew she couldn't continue acting silly, so she quickly raised her hands to indicate that she wouldn't do it anymore.

Cyrene gazed tenderly at Sera, thinking how vibrant she was.

"Come with us! We know where the right place is."

Tribbie and the other two started running ahead, with Sera and the other two jogging behind. Polyxena did not follow.

After stepping aside, Trianne opened the Gate of Janus.

"Right here!"

Tribbie and the other two stood in a spacious temple, the place where they used to live, the temple of Janusapolis, which was big enough to accommodate them. Moreover, being in a familiar place after their resurrection gave them a sense of security.

"Then—let's begin."

Sera's golden eyes shone even brighter as he stretched out his hand—rings of data fragments surrounded him.

The 997 data squares formed a series of rings, each one floating on Sera without missing a single one. Sera turned to look at Cyrene beside her.

"It's up to you, Cyrene."

"Leave it to me! ♪~"

Cyrene also reached out her hand, and the data ring slowly rotated from Sera's arm to Cyrene's body. Then, a ball of pink Memoria appeared in Cyrene's hand.

First a little, then tides of Memoria suddenly appeared all around.

Guided by Cyrene, clusters of Memoria were evenly integrated into each data square, enveloping the consciousness... or rather, the soul within.

Castorice stepped forward, and the power to Equilibrium life and death was revealed in her. At this moment, the hand she stretched out was no longer Hand of Shadow that took away life, but a hand that gave the dead new life.

This was the first time Castorice had given life to someone else. Her feelings were complicated, but mostly she felt relieved, as the knot that had bound her for so long had been untied.

She was somewhat clumsy, but very earnest in using her power to mold life, and the data cubes wrapped in Memoria all flew to the open ground Gilgamesh brightly.

Sera silently used her powers to assist Xiaodie in completing the step of shaping life in a small corner unnoticed by Castorice.

"Huh? Where are we?"

The little strawberry cakes whose surname is Bao Hijab are currently looking around with puzzled faces. They obviously haven't figured out what the situation is now. In their memories, they must be dead?

Let's explain the situation!

Trianne stepped forward and began to explain the situation to the other Tis.

As Trianne's words reached the ears of all the Tis, the Strawberry Cakes understood the current situation.

"'We'... Amphoreus succeeded?"

A feeling of joy spread from the strawberry cupcakes.

"Yes, thanks to Little Sera's plan, Amphoreus reached the flower-filled Avalon in the oracle."

Trianne, hands on her hips, reaffirmed the strawberry cupcakes' words.

The group stepped aside, leaving them some space.

"Sera, I have succeeded."

Castorice wore a happy smile; with the very hands that had once taken lives, she had personally brought life back to 997 people.

"Well, Castorice, you should smile more. If you don't smile... it's a waste of your lovely face."

For example... like this.

Sera tugged at her lips with her index fingers, forcing a smile, Cyrene burst out laughing.

Hehe♪~

Cyrene lightly covered her lips with her right hand, a hint of a smile rippling in the corner of her eyes.

"Little Sera, you should just be natural."

"All right."

Sera shrugged helplessly. He did feel that being quirky or abstract wasn't really his thing, but he was good at making memes.

"Let's calculate the time..."

Sera placed her right hand on her chin, as if in thought.

"Shouldn't Phainon's speech begin soon?"

Sera stretched out a screen, and after searching through it for a while, the screen lit up.

"Found it!"

In the scene, Phainon is standing in the center of the Okhema Citizens' Assembly, while Mydei Phainon beside him with a displeased expression, serving as his foil.

"Citizens of Okhema!"

Phainon's voice was loud and clear. Even though it was his first time giving a speech and he was in front of so many people, he was not nervous at all.

"I know you are confused and bewildered about what just happened in Amphoreus, but—don't panic!"

Not long ago, the journey of the Fire Chaser came to an end, and the Chrysos Heirs completed the Re-Creation foretold by the gods!

The threat of the Black Tide has vanished.

Have you noticed any changes in your body?

That is the power of [Re-Creation] changing your bodies.

Here, I will convey Queen Cerydra's words: From this day forward, Amphoreus will officially embark on its journey among the stars!

Soon, many extraterrestrial forces will come to Amphoreus and Okhema to establish diplomatic relations. There's no need to worry! Amphoreus now has nothing to fear from any enemy, nor will it submit to any extraterrestrial power.

Phainon's voice possessed a strange infectiousness and inspiring power.

Yes, that's well said.

Sera nodded as she looked at Phainon on the screen. Entrusting this task to Phainon was definitely the right decision; he was a natural-born leader, perfectly suited for giving speeches in front of a crowd.

After all, it is the sun of Amphoreus.

Sera thought to herself, glancing at Cyrene beside her, who was blinking and looking at her.

Hmm... and the stars of Amphoreus.

And, the moon of Amphoreus.

Sera thought so.
