I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Rei Himuro chuckled softly, her face beaming with happiness.

"Thank you so much, it's so great to have met you all."

Sakurai Hotaru also left with a smile in the end.

As her vision blurred, Fujii Ren could only hear their voices but could no longer see them.

The dampness returned to Lian's cheeks, but she continued to smile, her eyes showing no sadness.

"Lian, come back soon."

At this moment, Xiangchun's figure gradually faded away beside Mary, a sign that her soul was about to return.

Without any resistance, he simply reminded Lian, through a mix of tears and laughter, that they needed to go home, and then disappeared from their sight.

"Ah, I will go back."

Fujii Ren held Mary's hand tightly, watching Ayase Kasumi return.

Because of Xiangchun, she also realized that in reality, there are still people who are looking forward to and caring about her.

In that postwar reality, she was not alone either.

"Buzz!"

Finally, when Fujii Ren blinked again, his gaze returned to the beach at dusk, where he was nestled close to Mary.

Fujii Ren and Mary opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other. Mary was the first to show a gentle smile.

Infected by that warm smile, Fujii Ren couldn't help but smile through his tears.

What happened on the roof just now must have happened in an instant.

It fulfilled the dreams of all of us who were born from Mary; it was Mary who invited them all to her own world.

Reality has changed. Skadi and her family are gone. Shirou is gone, Honjo is gone, Rei is gone, and Sakurai has returned to the side of someone important to him.

They've fought desperately until now, and in the end, only Kaori is left.

Moreover, as the parties involved, we may lose each other, who are irreplaceable...

That incident was truly terrifying for Lian…

“I thought I was going to die, Mary.”

As Fujii Ren recounted her previous tragic hero-like wishes and thoughts, she looked at Mary before her and said softly:

“Skadi-senpai’s choice was right. Mary is better than all of us. Seeing the world created by your gentle wishes, I, like you, would disappear for you without any regrets.”

Yes, seeing Mary's world, even the countless sacrifices made for Mary made Fujii Ren feel it was all worthwhile.

Standing up for Mary is the proudest thing in the world.

Fujii Ren was certain of it without hesitation or doubt.

"Without everyone, I can't do anything well."

Looking at Fujii Ren before him, his eyes shone with a moving light and sincere emotion. He gently touched his chest and said:

"The heart flowing in my chest is a desire to embrace... The feelings that Ren and everyone taught me, the feelings that Ren wants to surround and protect, the feelings that I love Ren and everyone... So, everyone will not disappear, I will embrace everyone."

As she spoke, Mary cupped Lian's face in her hands again and whispered to her:

"Don't think you can only disappear..."

I will embrace everyone—upon closer reflection, this is indeed what Mary said when she reached the Outflow rank.

She even concealed her own foolish desire to "stop".

I didn't notice that fact and decided to end my own life without my consent... I'm such an idiot.

It can only be said that the worst thing is to disregard the obvious choice of survival from the very beginning.

Mary was not fully aware of her desires because she was afraid.

She was afraid that once she leaked out and became everything, she would never be able to meet Lian or anyone else again.

Because the field of vision becomes incredibly vast, but the people around us can no longer be seen, we feel fear, resistance, and subconscious disregard.

However, when Fujii Ren was preparing to end his own life, Mary also realized that there were some things that had to be done, and she felt that she had to embrace them, so she completely let herself flow.

She wanted Lian to return to where she wanted to go, so even if she could never see her again, she only hoped that Lian could be happy.

Fujii Ren deeply felt this strong and warm sentiment, so she only had one thing to say.

"Time, please stop..."

Looking tenderly at Mary before him, he poured out his heart to her with the strongest longing of his life:

"Because of all the things in the world, you are the most beautiful."

Buzz~~ Buzz~~ Buzz~~ Buzz~~

At this moment, the surroundings, like a shattered and burning canvas, began to self-destruct and burn, turning into endless particles of light that drifted away.

This singularity has begun to be unable to withstand Mary's mass, and Mary has completely finished leaking out.

So, at this moment, Mary, who was holding Fujii Ren's hands, began to rise slowly and uncontrollably, falling towards the singularity of the [Seat], and taking her seat.

Mary smiled gently at this, a smile as sweet as a child's, as happiest girl in the world.

Because she has always been loved by everyone, she now wants to give her love to everyone as well.

This was the moment of their parting; from this point on, no further words were needed.

Mary will be everything, and everything will be Mary, so she never left.

She will always embrace everyone, even if your quality becomes zero, it will still exist.

So please, Fujii Ren wants to feel the lingering warmth of Mary's body a little longer in this moment.

It didn't actually stop; rather, Fujii Ren extended his sensory experience indefinitely.

Lian hoped that this moment would become an eternal memory for her.

Looking up at Mary as she slowly descended into the Singularity of the Seat, Lian bid farewell to Mary with tears in her eyes and a joyful smile.

This moment, isn't it, where the meaning of her life lies?

Time, please stop, for at this moment you are the most beautiful.

Mary... Mary... Mary... It's so wonderful to have met you.

I will live well.

As Mary's twilight glow faded, transforming into a star-like light that shone with unparalleled beauty, Fujii Ren made a vow to Mary in his heart.

I will live forever under the sunshine that embraces me, and I will protect you with honor and happiness in my heart.

Goodbye... no, let's stay together forever, Mary.

Chapter 73 Bai Ge: Which stubborn fool wants to usurp the throne on the fifth day?

Mary took her seat, and the fourth day marked the end.

She left everyone, but she never truly left, for once she took her seat, she would embrace everyone and everything.

Once seated, Mary will begin to shape a new world from the very beginning.

Because the world of Mercury Serpent is not a straight line, but a circle, the starting point is the ending point.

After Mary takes her seat, she can easily interfere with the so-called past.

She hoped and prayed that everyone could be happy, and that happy scene, after the screens in front of countless viewers dimmed and fell silent for a few seconds, the perspective lit up again and shifted to the vast world beneath the throne of the gods.

In this infinite world, all walks of life are unfolding. Countless people die with sorrow, resentment, and anger in their hearts, and their souls will never return to their mother's womb to repeat their tragic and twisted lives.

The souls of the dead begin a new beginning through Mary's "reason".

From a perspective unseen by humans, countless souls have already begun their reincarnation.

Those who had unpleasant experiences in their lives but hoped and longed for happiness, even if they cannot attain happiness in this life, will surely find happiness in the next life as long as their souls do not give up.

Mary respected the freedom of those who pursue happiness.

Because she herself also hopes to reunite with someone important to her, this law also exists in her world.

Even if you can't find happiness in this life, we've made a promise for the next life, that you will be happy in the cycle of reincarnation. This promise truly exists in this world.

At least countless viewers have already witnessed a large number of tragic people who prayed for happiness being redeemed in the afterlife.

Even lovers who promised to be together but were separated by cruel reality can have their intense longing for each other fulfilled in the next life.

Happiness is something you have to pursue yourself. Mary didn't interfere with the world; she simply acted as a law, watching over everything in the human world.

Don't worry, even if you have experienced misfortune and sorrow in the past or present, happiness will surely await you at the end of your journey.

So don't give up, keep moving forward, and you will definitely be happy.

"My life, my memories, and my history... the happy things, the sad things, and because of those experiences, I have chosen my own path."

"So everyone's the same, right? No matter what, everyone's ultimate goal is the same: to yearn for the unknown, for time to stop, for transcending everything, for the best version of themselves, for an endless battle... No matter how different we are, everyone wants to go to a place that is beautiful to them."

Mary's murmurs resonated at the heart of the throne, and all the audience members who heard these words felt an overwhelming sense of acceptance and an intoxicating warmth that could not be ignored.

At this moment, the throne in the eyes of countless people has undergone a complete change, because the master of the throne has changed, and the throne has also become a completely new thing because of the new "reason".

Here, the yearning for a better future transforms into sparkling butterflies fluttering about, and the entire throne shines with a dazzling and magnificent light, with flowers of all colors blooming and blossoming on that beautiful throne.

Divine power formed a brand new pure white dress, and the starry ocean formed by the infinite universe was reflected beneath Mary's fair little feet.

The maiden, no, the goddess, looked down upon everything with gentle and loving eyes. The souls of the infinite universes converged beneath her divine throne, forming the Sea of ​​Souls, all of which would pass through Mary, be embraced by her, and be redeemed.

At this moment, she became everything, became all things, and all of creation could be said to be Mary's offspring.

Her love encompasses everything, redeems everything, and simply hopes that others can be happy, which is why she embraces them.

"I want to embrace everyone's will, everyone's life, I don't want to let go, and... I want to be with the people I least want to let go of forever, I don't want them to suffer, so I have to do something, isn't that what it means to stand up?"

Her gentle yet firm words affirmed the path she had chosen, and countless viewers could not deny the power of Mary's love.

Because beneath her divine throne, in the vast universe, lies something that shocks countless viewers.

The majestic and powerful golden lion curled up and slept deep in the starry sea.
