Farewell, Everyone
"Oh?"
After Sera removed the camouflage formed by the Authority of Corruption, Lygus saw the Scepter left behind by Him— the Nous.
However, the Scepter is merely a facade; its true essence is inscribed with the mark of Zandar, a message used to inform all timelines of Zandar.
My proudest student: Seraphis.
--Zandar I. Kuwabara Ryu.
"What wonderful news!"
Lygus's voice was filled with emotion as he opened his arms, seemingly reveling in the news brought by Sera.
"Unfortunately, this is not the reality that this universe possesses."
Lygus's voice carried obvious doubt, and... a sense of awe at how lucky Zandar was in another timeline.
He didn't believe it was Zandar's doing; he knew very well that it wasn't an achievement that could be replicated, but rather the only miracle among all the timelines.
That Zandar was just lucky to have found him.
He could do it just as well!
"The lighthouse outside the cave / (Trailblaze) -- I am honored to have witnessed the true landscape at the end of my life. Please convey a message to your teacher for me."
Lygus paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"I'm jealous of him."
"...?"
The others present were somewhat puzzled.
They only knew that Lygus was the one who nurtured the Iron Tomb and was about to the Destruction the world, but they did not know his true identity. However, all the major powers had unanimously determined that Lygus was a genius whose specific position was currently unknown.
Listen carefully, everyone—
Lygus bowed slightly to the crowd.
The following words are from the Genius Society...
They're here... Everyone perked up, afraid of missing even a single word.
#1 Zandar I. Kuwabara's words: My mission is over. Now: I will leave my last piece of advice to posterity, that is, to you.
There is no need to hesitate or be confused.
Before the "Finality," there is already moonlight to light your way.
People of the world, do not perish in the cave, do not stop moving forward, the road ahead is right before your eyes.
What do you mean by saying that the Intellitron in front of you is Genius Society #1 Zandar I. Kuwabara, the man who is rumored to have created the Nous?!
Everyone had a thousand thoughts in their hearts, which could be summed up in one sentence: This episode was amazing.
"I know the sins I am about to commit, therefore—there is no need to concern myself with the calm acceptance of death by a mere prisoner."
Farewell, everyone.
Lygus's Projection calmly disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving them looking at each other, unsure of what to say.
It's fortunate that the Galaxy Rangers wasn't on this ship, otherwise we might have heard a string of unpleasant Galaxy Rangers swear words.
"So... the mastermind behind everything was persuaded by Sera with words like that?"
March 7th looked left and right, and finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke. Her voice broke the silence, Sera nodded without much surprise.
"It's simple. Lycurgus just wanted an answer, and now I've laid it before him. Zandar I. Kuwabara, whose last wish for this galaxy has been fulfilled, will naturally face death with equanimity."
Sera explained the situation to March 7th, who looked puzzled but happened to ask the question that had been troubling everyone.
"Then we're all set. We can't have other Zandar causing trouble here in the future, can we?"
Although March 7th may appear foolish but is actually wise, you can't disregard the words of a prophet. After all, Elio is known as Little March!
"..."
Sera didn't speak, she just calmly looked at March 7th.
"Etc..."
March 7th wasn't really stupid; seeing that Sera didn't speak, she tentatively asked her a question.
"I can't possibly be right, can I?"
"Congratulations, Little March —you have been awarded the title of the Galactic First Prophet by me."
Sera smiled, clapped his hands, and bestowed the title of prophet upon March 7th.
"Hmm... should I give my acceptance speech now?"
March 7th looked thoughtful, seemingly having truly accepted the title Sera had given her.
"Alright, the next task is simple, I'll do it myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sera stepped out into the starry sky.
Thus, for the first time in this timeline, Sera boldly revealed her true nature.
For Sera, an Corruption that Finalization, solving the problem of Amphoreus is as easy as taking candy from a baby, especially since he has already gained access to one of Amphoreus's timelines.
Easy peasy, my friend.
"Wow--"
March 7th's eyes lit up, and she took out her camera and snapped a picture of Sera in the starry sky.
Click~
In the silent spaceship, the sound of March 7th's camera was particularly noticeable.
"Little March."
On the other end of the communication, Himeko's helpless voice rang in March 7th's ears.
Hehe~
March 7th touched her head shyly, and at that moment, Firefly moved closer to her.
"Miss March 7th, could you please send me a copy of the photo?"
Firefly's voice was tense and soft; if she hadn't leaned close to March 7th's ear to speak, March 7th wouldn't have been able to hear Firefly at all.
"Of course, no problem!"
March 7th made an OK sign and, mimicking Firefly's tiny voice, whispered something in her ear. March 7th felt this created a great atmosphere, like secret agents exchanging codes in a movie!
After receiving the photo sent by March 7th, Firefly smiled, then put down her phone and looked intently in the direction of Sera.
No one present had any objection to the two beautiful girls' actions; no one who came here was a fool. Firefly stayed by Sera's side the whole time, and March 7th directly addressed the important figure as Sera.
Even a fool would know that the three of them knew each other very well... at least better than they did.
In the starry sky, Sera has completely taken over the authority of Amphoreus in this timeline.
At the Finality of "Nihility," he did not waste time guiding the people of Amphoreus again, but instead directly stripped the Iron Tomb from Amphoreus and reversed the life forms of the Amphoreus people.
The Iron Tomb's enormous form appeared before the Allied forces. The Iron Tomb had no self-awareness, but its instincts still drove it to search for the Nous.
but...
"You want to find the Nous to take Him upon yourself in front of me?"
Sera made his move, and the power of "Corruption" was activated according to his thoughts.
"Just kidding, if I could actually make you accept the Nous' in front of me, I might as well just commit suicide!"
What kind of "Herrscher of Corruption" am I supposed to be?!
Sera severed the Iron Tomb's connection to the Nous at its source.
"Day One..."
From afar, a compassionate and ethereal voice resounded.
