Ultraman: He captures EyeQ at the start, a righteous and fun-loving man.

"Eh?"

Jun Himeya looked at Sera, not understanding why she would say such a thing.

Sera said firmly.

"To me, Jun was not the one who killed me; the real culprit was the war."

She wiped her eyes.

"After I arrived, I realized how wonderful the outside world is, and that so many people care about our war-torn region."

"Jun Himeya said sadly."

"But... but if I hadn't gone to film it back then, maybe you wouldn't have died."

Sera shook her head.

“Accurate, that was my own choice. Because you and I care about each other, we were able to take those photos. Those photos are proof that I exist in this world.”

"Jun Himeya murmured."

"prove……"

Sera counted on her fingers as she spoke.

"It was the arrival of Zhun that brought color to my monotonous life. Before that, I never thought that planting rice and fishing would have any value in being recorded."

“Zhun, I’m really happy. If I had continued to live like this in a daze, and ended up dying in some forgotten corner from disease or a stray bullet, that would have been true forgetting.”

She said with a smile.

“I am already very satisfied that Jun and these photos remember me, but Jun, you still bear a greater responsibility. I do not want this light to stagnate because of me, because it also carries the hopes of many more people.”

"hope………"

As Jun Himeya recalled countless moments with Sera, he stared directly into those painful memories and suddenly opened his eyes.

Within Nexus, countless rays of light erupted from Jun Himeya's body as he solemnly addressed Sera.

"This time, I will definitely protect those who have suffered as much as you. This is my promise to you and to this light!!"

Within Meta's domain, Nexus, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly shone with silver light, and faint blue marks appeared on his body. He raised his head and assumed a fighting stance towards Galberos.

Feeling Nexus's aura rise again, Bai Yue said in a low voice.

"It seems that this light has evolved to its limit on Zhun's body."

Qian Shulian didn't hear Bai Yue's words. Looking at Nexus, whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, he excitedly swung his fist into the air.

"Charge!!"

Nexus charged toward Garuberos, while the King's Cloak that had been entangled with him vanished nimbly into the air.

Before Galberos could react, Nexus shoved him backward, and with a powerful elbow strike, half of Galberos's body was driven into the rock wall.

Galberos let out a painful roar, then opened his arms again, attempting to unleash a flash of light to create an illusion.

Nexus simply turned his head away, ignoring the light, and then raised the arm blade on his armor, severing most of the left side of Galberos's head.

The remaining small portion of muscle was still connected to the left half of Galberos's head, but it could only hang there sparsely.

Galberos was in real pain now, and he kept spewing fireballs from the right side of his head, trying to force Nexus back.

Nexus raised the Nexus Armor, absorbed the power of the fireball into its interior, and then transformed it into a silver-white energy blast, shattering the right side of Garuberos's head with a single blow.

Now that Galuberos's two eyes were gone, it was like a headless fly, spinning the saw on its middle head and frantically darting left and right.

However, Nexus had already moved away from him. Looking at the frenzied Galberos, he once again gathered his power for his ultimate move.

Layered storm!!

The azure light struck Garuberos, causing the monster to freeze for a moment before dissipating into countless azure particles.

Nexus lowered his hands and looked at Sera, whose figure had begun to become illusory.

“Sera…”

Bai Yue looked at the excited Qian Shulian beside her and suddenly asked.

"Lian, do you know what growing up is?"

"growing up?"

Qian Shulian thought back for a moment.

"I read in a book that growth refers to the process of a person shedding their immaturity and moving towards maturity."

Bai Yue said with emotion.

"The famous living dead Diablo once said that human growth is about overcoming one's immature past, which is essentially a denial of one's past self."

"Jun Himeya is in the same situation, so growth is often accompanied by pain."

Before Qian Shulian could even complain about how this philosopher had a devilish name, he nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the fact that Brother Zhun is in so much pain must be related to the soul of that little girl, right?"

He also saw Sera's soul, and through the conversation between Jun Himeya and Sera, he roughly learned the whole story.

"It feels like the protagonist in a story needs a close teammate to die in order to defeat the enemy. Authors always like to use this method to show the protagonist's growth."

Senju Rei recalled the comics she had been reading and couldn't help but complain.

"Although the stories all have happy endings, they never feel quite right."

Points of light gathered in Bai Yue's hand, transforming into a jade-like staff.

He said with a smile.

"Indeed, the pain of death can make people grow up quickly, but after growing up, most people cannot undo this pain. This is also why a work leaves a deep impression, which is regret."

"but……"

Bai Yue said firmly.

"For me, a happy ending is what I strive for. Besides, I also believe that the biggest regret is not taking the chance to make amends!"

Raising Regard Flash high, another Giant of Light appeared within Meta's domain amidst a dazzling burst of light.

Senju Rei was so surprised that she forgot to breathe.

"Brother Yue... is he a giant too?"

Nexus reached out to stop the soul from dissipating, but he couldn't hold onto Sera no matter what he did, Jun Himeya said with difficulty.

"Sera, are you... leaving?"

Before Sera could speak, a voice suddenly came from beside her.

"That's not necessarily true!"

The two turned to look, and a silver-white crystal appeared in Regard's hand.

"This is……"

Nexus looked at Regard in surprise, could it be...?

He hesitated to think further, while Reggart smiled and said...

"It's not fun to part ways right after catching up, especially since there's still so much to see in this world for a little girl."

Regate looked at Sera and asked.

"So? Would you like to see this world again?"

Sera looked at Nexus, and Jun Himeya said excitedly.

"Take another look at this world, Sera!"

"Um!!"

With a sob in her voice, Sera nodded firmly and entered the crystal.

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

There's a saying that goes, "Suffering itself is not something to be celebrated; what is worth celebrating is people's courage in facing suffering."

Jun Himeya has already possessed this praiseworthy courage, so when faced with suffering, my thought is to try to salvage the situation if possible.

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

Regarding Sera's soul

The official explanation is that Noah awakened Sera's memories in Jungo.

This suggests that what appeared at that time was most likely Sera's soul, and the author used it accordingly (humorous).

If you think it's unreasonable, just consider it a secondary interpretation.

Also... please give me a reward (tiger landing style)

Chapter 159 Artificial Humans

The Meta Realm dissipated under the golden light curtain, and Bai Yue had already opened a spatial passage, bringing everyone back to the jungle.

Himeya Jun looked at the Evolution Trustee in his hand, as if sensing something, and suddenly spoke.

“I feel that this light has reached its limit for me, and perhaps... it should go and find the next person who needs help.”

Bai Yue glanced at Qian Shulian, who was still excited, but said nothing.

Turning to look at Jun Himeya, the crystal was in his hand, and at that moment, Sera was communicating with him telepathically.

Bai Yue reminded her.

“Sera is currently missing a body, and because the life force in my crystal lacks genes, it cannot create a physical body for her. Next time, check if Sera has any hair or anything, and the crystal will automatically create a body for her.”

Himeya Jun nodded gratefully at Shirozuki.

"I understand!"

After a while, once his excitement had subsided, he looked around at Bai Yue and asked curiously.

"Where's that doll-like girl? Wasn't she always by your side?"

Just as Bai Yue was about to say something, he suddenly closed his eyes, sensing the information coming from his mind, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
