I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

Its voice is vicious, but the images it describes are particularly chilling.

[To be honest, this sudden "verdict" is a bit too much, so... let's give each other a little "preview" first.]

With a wicked laugh, it slowly took control of everything—or more precisely, everything on the lunar base.

All the backup plans that Mei had prepared to deal with Xi Wang have now become its tools, instruments to aid it.

However... in a sense, it is still helping humanity.

After all, it merely went along with human expectations and ideas to... [punish] Xiwang.

--------

"……Eh?"

Xi Wang, who had just reached the center of the base, suddenly froze, because the entire base... was folding, shrinking, and hiding.

In the end, he was the only one left there.

The warm light of the past has vanished, leaving only the darkness and coldness of space.

All the things I once cherished have been taken away, and I can't see them at all.

Now, only his location remains—the place used to appreciate the earth.

Here the target is the coordinate, it's... the place they use to aim—Xi Wang immediately realized this.

"It looks like the curtain call is coming soon..."

His tone turned dejected in an instant, and his star-like eyes dimmed.

"It's time for me, the [Herrscher], to [punish] them."

His words were recorded by it and gently reached the ears of the people on the ground, but they... could not say anything to him.

How ironic, how ridiculous.

Amidst the gloom and anger, only it could still smile, and only the unaware Eden was filled with anticipation.

"Ugh……"

Xi Wang sighed again.

Although I somewhat foresaw this outcome, facing this ending... I'm still a little scared...

I looked up and gazed at that beautiful blue star.

He was neither angry nor resentful, nor even...rebellious.

He didn't think about escaping, nor did he think about fighting back; he just... smiled softly.

Everything... is for the sake of humanity.

But before parting, he... had one more song to give.

Because I had promised to help solve the problem of rainwater on the ground.

"Hush...huh..."

He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and what came to mind were all the things he had done with them, all the beauty and love he had received during this experience.

Father Enrique, Mother Teresa, the teachers who helped him; Li, Yin, and everyone who cared about him; and most importantly, Ying and... Eden.

He... was very happy.

When she opened her eyes, they shone like stars in the night sky, filled with deep longing and a gentle tenderness like water and wind.

He was smiling, and still smiling.

In this final, final song, let me... give it my all.

His power began to flow, golden light like silk, like a stream, golden notes quietly emerged and danced, giving the intangible song a visible form, and then... gently floated, passing through the dark and cold space, drifting towards that beautiful blue star.

I dedicate this song to the world that loves me.

And so, his voice, softly rising, crossed vast distances, passed through areas where sound could not pass, and landed on that blue planet.

"As I held my tiny knees, In this silent empty room~?"

"From the window tightly shut I could see the sky begin to cry~?"

"With a shaking little voice, I was calling for you again~?"

"I'll try making this the last time that I repeat your dearest name~?"

The singing was gentle, yet tinged with a faint sadness... It was an emotion that was hard to sense from Xi Wang, an emotion that many people had never noticed in him.

Sadness... Ah... Yes, how can anyone always be joyful? How can anyone always be so gentle? It's just... that they don't show their sadness.

Even so, even at this point, Xi Wang was still willing to help them, to do everything in his power to help them... even though from Xi Wang's perspective, they were the ones who wanted to kill him.

But... it's okay, really, it's okay... I am "hope"~ right?

He was immersed in his own songs, singing loudly, pouring all his emotions, his strength, and everything he had into his voice.

I will pour everything I have into my songs, and dedicate everything I have to this world that loves me, and to all those who love me.

Xi Wang smiled, still smiling, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Everything is for... [humanity].

At that moment, his eyes were completely filled with gold, shining like stars.

--------

[Entry: Final Herrscher (Gold), special conditions met, now in effect!]

You have become the "Final Herrscher"!

[Entry: The Splendor of Humanity (Purple), trigger conditions met, now active!]

You have retained control over yourself!

--------

[Hahaha!!! Look~ This is your "hope," even in this situation, even knowing you're going to "attack" him, he's still willing to help you... Listen, this song full of hope, this song full of tenderness... This is the "hope" you yourselves have abandoned! The "hope" you yourselves have given up!]

Its voice was full of arrogance and mockery.

【Oh dear... Noisy Mr. Qianjie, you're still looking for me? This is such a waste of time and effort~】

"Shut up!!! [Herrscher]! I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

Haha~ I'm so excited!

???~

It was Xi Wang's singing voice that flowed.

【Ah... ugh... damn it... shouldn't you be dead?!】

In the video, its expression suddenly becomes ferocious, as if it is fighting against something.

zizi——

The video also started to become unstable.

How could I... let you hurt him...?

It was Wright's voice and tone. At this moment, his body seemed to be being fought over by two beings. The hand holding the gun slowly rose, while the other hand pressed it down with all its might.

No...no...I don't want to die...

Unfortunately, the gun eventually pressed against its chin, and then... bang!!!

zizi——

The scene went haywire for a moment, and when it came back to normal, all you could see was it lying face down on the table, and the flowing blood... The surroundings fell silent for a moment, with only Xi Wang's singing voice.

zizi——

The image became chaotic again, but what was finally revealed was its smiling face.

How was my performance? Did it give you all a little bit of a false sense of security? Hahahaha!!!

"The Herrscher... The Herrscher!!!"

"Heh...haha...hahahahaha!!! Very good! Congratulations!!! Herrscher! You...are worth killing!!!"

I'm really looking forward to the moment you find me!

Its voice remained relaxed, even carrying an undisguised sarcasm.

【Give it a try, Qianjie, try... to save "Dawn"!】

--------

"It's the path we used to take, Spreading out before my eyes~?"

"I won't let the pouring rain wash away your colors left behind~?"

The song continued, golden notes carried by the light drifting towards the beautiful planet, slowly covering and enveloping it.

The faint blue-tinged, gold-red patterns that appeared on the planet's surface were gradually enveloped by his singing.

The strange and beautiful patterns were also quietly changing.

Slightly opening his eyes, Xi Wang vaguely saw... her figure in his vision.

It was a figure in cyan, with long, emerald-green hair like leaves in the forest, hair ornaments like flowers on treetops, pure white six wings with a faint cyan tinge, and... double rings hanging above her head.

She approached him gently, with a warm smile like a gentle breeze, her eyes full of tenderness and care.

Xi Wang knew who she was.

[Young people...]

This time, her voice was no longer muffled... Perhaps out of consideration for Xi Wang, she did not use the language that Xi Wang could not understand.

Is it really worth it to give everything for them?

She asked softly.

of course.

Xi Wang smiled.

Even if it ends like this?
