When the elevator doors opened again, the two arrived outside a basement guarded by two bodyguards.

"It is an honor to meet you, Governor Euphemia, and Lord Suzaku."

"Make room," Zhuque commanded.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The two guards quickly saluted and entered a long password on the door lock.

'Click...' The basement door opened, and a blast of cold air rushed out of the room, causing Yuffie, who was dressed in thin clothes, to shiver involuntarily.

"I'm so sorry, this..." Seeing this, a guard hurriedly took out a gorgeous winter coat and handed it to Suzaku with a panicked expression.

“Euphoria…” Suzaku took the winter coat and handed it to Euphemia, who looked sad. He knew that Euphemia always looked like this whenever she came here.

"Thank you, Suzaku." Yuffie looked up at Suzaku, thanked him, and went inside alone.

Watching Yuffie walk in, Suzaku didn't follow, his heart filled with conflict. Recalling his time with Summit and the entrustment he made before his death, he felt sorry for Summit.

It is hard to imagine that a knight who was almost invincible and upright on the battlefield died because of his own brother's scheme, and even after death, he had to bear the shameful title of 'murderous knight'.

…………………………………………Three minutes ago

Inside the room, Dong Tian, ​​lying in the cryogenic preservation chamber, realized that he had returned to the world of 'Rebellion' once again. Moreover, because he had been to this world before, he had returned to his former body as a soul.

In his memory, the large hole in his chest and abdomen, torn open by Gawain's (Lelouch's vehicle) claws, had already been repaired after the Black Rebellion, thanks to Euphemia's efforts in contacting the best genetic experts and using genetic technology. Furthermore, to see Summit more often, Euphemia ordered the creation of an ice chamber to freeze Summit inside, making him lie there as if asleep. This basement was where the ice chamber was located.

Summit used his mental power to control the switch outside, opened the ice chamber, and walked out naked from it.

He was then surprised to find that the room where the ice chamber was located was arranged exactly the same as the room he had stayed in at the governor's mansion, except that the temperature was a little lower.

Reaching the wardrobe he remembered, he opened it, took out a set of clothes he had worn before, and put them on. Summit couldn't help but sigh, wondering what the consequences would be if he went out like this.

..........................................

Euphemia slowly walked into the chilly room. Before her was a corridor identical to the one in the Governor's mansion, leading to the room of the most important person in her life. There, she saw a familiar face and smelled a familiar scent.

As I pushed open the door, a familiar figure came into view. This figure had appeared in my dreams countless times, and countless times, just when I was about to grab him, he would disappear.

“Samit…brother…” Pearl-like tears dripped down Yuffie’s smooth face as she slowly walked towards Samit, as if afraid of disturbing him and causing him to disappear again.

“Euphee…” Looking at Euphee, who was crying as she walked towards him, Summit was filled with emotion. He smiled, opened his arms, and embraced the beautiful woman who was slowly walking towards him.

Chapter 437 He's Back

Feeling the warmth emanating from Summit and that familiar scent, Euphemia finally believed that this was not a dream, but reality.

"Brother Summit, is it really you?" Euphemia raised her pink head and looked at the familiar face, asking expectantly.

Dong Tian (hereinafter referred to as 'Summit') smiled and patted Yuffie's pink head, saying, "Silly girl, who else could it be but me?"

..........................................

As Suzaku waited outside the door, a worried expression gradually appeared on his face as time ticked by. Yuffie usually only stayed for about an hour at most, but now she had stayed for more than two hours. Could something have happened? Would Yuffie do something foolish?

"Open the door and let me in." Thinking of this, Zhuque could no longer wait and hurriedly ordered the two guards to open the door.

"Your Highness the Governor..." After running through the virtual corridor, Suzaku pushed open the door and rushed inside. He was immediately stunned by what he saw, for he witnessed the most unbelievable scene.

Seeing the person chatting and laughing with Yuffie, Suzaku couldn't help but exclaim, "Prince Summit!"

"Oh... Suzaku? It's been a long time!" Summit greeted Suzaku with a smile as he looked at him suddenly barging in.

"How could this be?" Looking at Summit who was speaking to him, Suzaku involuntarily walked towards Summit, muttering to himself as he went, "How could this be? You... are you really His Highness Summit? Why have you been resurrected?"

"What are you talking about? Suzaku, resurrection and all that?" Summit chuckled, feigning ignorance as he asked, then looked at the familiar attire Suzaku was wearing and said, "This outfit, Suzaku, have you become His Majesty the Emperor's knight? By the way, I heard from Euphemia that you captured Zero. So, can you tell me what his true face looks like?"

Looking at Summit, who had been asking a barrage of questions, Suzaku tried to calm himself down before finally saying, "Your Highness Summit, don't you remember anything?"

"Remember what?" Summit knew what Suzaku was asking, but could only feign ignorance and say, "Speaking of which, I think I remember... I... I already..."

“That’s right. Prince Summit, you are dead, killed in Zero’s conspiracy.” Suzaku looked at Summit, whose expression had become unnatural, nodded, and told the truth that Summit deserved to die.

"What?" Summit's expression changed, staring at his hands in confusion, as if he couldn't accept this reality.

Yuffie, who was sitting next to Summit, suddenly stood up and hysterically shouted at Suzaku, "Shut up, Suzaku! Summit won't die... he'll never die..."

“Euphoria (emphasis)…” Summit and Suzaku said at the same time, looking at Euphemia who was speaking loudly.

Ignoring Suzaku's words, Yuffie gripped Qin Yu's arm tightly, tears streaming down her face, and cried out sadly, "Brother Summit, don't listen to Suzaku's nonsense, you're not dead, you're really not dead..."

Seeing Yuffie's appearance, both Summit and Suzaku felt a pang of heartache. Summit gently pulled her into his arms and whispered, "I know, Yuffie, your brother won't die, never."

"Mmm... Brother won't die." Yuffie nodded hurriedly, hugged Summit tightly, pressed her cheek against his chest, closed her eyes, and murmured.

“Euphoria…” Seeing Euphemia’s state, Suzaku clenched his fists. He knew that if he continued, Euphemia might become even worse.

“Suzaku…” Summit comforted Euphemia while looking at Suzaku and said, “Suzaku, don’t worry about these things. In any case, I’m back.” As he spoke, he exuded a powerful pressure, causing Suzaku to involuntarily take a step back.

.............................................

At the same time, within the territory of the Chinese Federation

CC, who was sitting next to Karen, seemed to sense something and stood up. Looking in the direction of Area 11, she said excitedly, "He's back... he really is back."

"What's wrong, CC? Who's back?" Karen asked, puzzled, as CC suddenly stood up. She couldn't understand who could make CC, who was usually so indifferent to everything, so excited.

"Karen, Tian...Tian is back."

"Tian? Who is that?" Karen had already started using this pseudonym when she met Summit, so she didn't know that Summit also had the name 'Tian'.

“Samit…Samit is back.”

"What?" Upon hearing this name, Kallen was startled and stood up abruptly. Then, she gave a bitter smile and said sadly, "CC, don't say anymore. Summit is dead. He died at Lelouch's hands."

“No!” CC shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face, and said, “No… I felt it, it really is him, he’s back, he’s really back.”

"Calm down...CC, Summit is dead, really dead." Karen thought CC had gone crazy and hurriedly held CC down to prevent her from doing anything foolish.

"No... I can feel him, he's alive. I knew... he wouldn't die." At Kallen's call, CC calmed down a little and looked at Kallen with a more serious expression.

“CC…”

"Karen, let's move the plans forward! We're going to Japan, I can't wait."

"Now? Are you serious?" Karen asked, looking surprised.

“Yes.” CC nodded and smiled, “Karen, believe me. He’s alive.”

Looking at CC, who kept saying that Summit had come back to life, Karen's heart skipped a beat. After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to Japan."

...Inside Summit's room at the Governor's Mansion in District 11

After Suzaku recounted the events of the past year, Summit learned that things had largely progressed according to the original story after his death, and smiled faintly, saying, "I didn't expect so much to have happened while I was only gone for a short time!"

"What are you planning to do?" Summit asked, though Suzaku didn't show any strong reaction.

"What else can I prepare? Help me make arrangements; I want to see Lelouch."

"But…"

"Thank you, Suzaku." Summit didn't give Suzaku a chance to refuse and turned to leave his room.

Chapter 438 The Grand Finale

Inside Ashford College, Summit, dressed in the college uniform, was walking briskly towards the student council. Since it was during class time, the college was quiet, and apart from Summit, no one else was visible.

"Report: Suspicious target detected on campus..."

"What?" The head of the secret intelligence agency was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with excitement, as if he could see honor and glory beckoning him. He immediately ordered, "Retrieve their image and see who it is!"

"Yes, sir." The soldier in charge of monitoring hurriedly switched the camera to the machine in front of Summit; however, after seeing the image on the screen, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah...!!"

"What's wrong?" The officer was startled by his subordinate and shouted angrily.

“Yes…yes…KnightOfTwo.” As a member of His Majesty the Emperor’s personal guard, the soldier clearly recognized the former Samite.

“It’s…it really is KnightOfTwo.” The officer was stunned when he realized that the person on the screen looked remarkably similar to Lelouch, whom he was monitoring. He stared blankly at the screen, then shook his head violently and said, “No…it’s impossible. KnightOfTwo has already sacrificed himself in the ‘Black Rebellion.’ It must be someone impersonating him. Keep a close watch on his every move and report any suspicious activity.”

"Yes." Several soldiers on duty responded hastily. In their moment of panic, they did not notice that Summit smiled at the camera on the screen.

..........................................

Walking through the familiar corridor, Summit arrived at the student council office. With a nostalgic smile, he pushed open the door and went inside. Looking at the familiar layout and furnishings, Summit seemed to see glimpses of his past interactions with others. Without realizing it, he walked to the desk and sat down in the spot he used to sit in.

"Ding dong..."

Time passed by, and as the school bell rang, the entire campus instantly became lively.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of a lock opening brought Samitra back to reality from her reverie. Turning around, she saw Lelouch in a black school uniform and an orange-haired girl staring at her in surprise.

"Long time no see, Lelouch, Shirley." Realizing how shocked the two were to see him, Summit smiled faintly and spoke first.

"..." When Summit spoke, Shirley was stunned and almost fainted.

"Brother?!" Lelouch was taken aback at first, then realized that the Summit in front of him was not an illusion, although in his memory, Summit was already dead, killed by Zero's sneak attack. "Is it really you, brother?"

"It's me." Summit smiled and nodded, stood up, walked a few steps to Lelouch, looked at his face which was so similar to his own, and said, "It's so good to see you again. How is Nunnally?"

"Nunnally? Who is that?" Under the influence of Geass, Lelouch had forgotten the fact that he had a younger sister.

Seeing Lelouch's puzzled expression, Summit sighed slightly and patted Lelouch's shoulder. "Never mind, it's great to see you anyway. Say hello to Millie for me. I'm off now." With that, he walked out of the student council room from beside Lelouch.

"Brother, are you leaving already?" Noticing that Samite was about to leave, Lelouch quickly turned around and tried to persuade him to stay.

Hearing Lelouch's shout, Summit turned around and glanced at him, smiled slightly, and did not answer. Instead, he said earnestly, "Cherish the people in front of you!" After saying that, he quickened his pace and gradually disappeared in front of the student council's gate.

"elder brother……"

.............................................

After leaving Ashford Academy, Summit closed his eyes slightly, and his powerful spiritual sense instantly spread out, locating the three girls, CC, Karen, and Cornelia, before disappearing silently in front of the school gate.

Meanwhile, within the territory of the Chinese Federation

"CC, aren't we being too reckless?" Kallen asked CC, who was directing the Black Knights members in preparations for their flight to Area 11, as she sat in the cockpit of the 'Crimson Lotus II', making final adjustments and checks to the machine.

“Hmm…I don’t think so.” CC glanced back at Karen and said indifferently.

“Shouldn’t we take this a step back?” Karen hesitated. Although she was also eager to know if Summit had ‘returned,’ she couldn’t bear to let her companions die because of it.

“There’s absolutely no need for that.” In CC’s heart, Summit was the most important person to her, and no one could compare to him. Let the others die if they want.

“CC…” Hearing CC say that, Kallen opened her mouth, then fell silent. Just then, a very familiar voice entered Kallen’s ears, “That’s right, there’s absolutely no need for that.”
