Alicia began to say her final goodbyes to everyone present one by one, starting with Vivi.

"I'm sorry, I really told a big lie... I hope that the statement of [The Thirteenth Old Thief] won't cause you too much trouble. After all, I am such a special existence... Telling the truth will probably only lead to greater chaos."

Weiwei saw that Alicia didn't want her secret to be known to everyone, so she said gently,

"Don't worry, Alicia. I will use several lies to cover it up... to protect your secret. It's not difficult for me to deceive the world, even deceive history."

What Weiwei said at this time was serious, and she actually did it.

Even Mei and the players didn't know the truth until this time.

And Weiwei's next words completely resolved the players' doubts.

"Those who left the table refused to fight because they believed in Alicia. Those who wiped your sweat were present because they believed in Alicia."

"Look... the people you trust always trust you, and the people you love always love you."

Yes, so after Snake received the report from the old thief by the Fire Moth, he threw it into the shredder without even looking at it.

Therefore, even Qianjie, who was keen on fighting, did not even come to attend this [banquet].

Because Alicia trusted everyone, she was eventually trusted by everyone.

Then, there was Aponia.

Alicia had always hoped that she could walk out of the abyss and take a look, but that was no longer important to Abonya. She had already walked out of the abyss and stepped under the sunlight, because Alicia was here.

Therefore, she does not want the story of Alicia to become a forgotten past, so she will remember everything about her in the paradise, waiting for the day when the story of Alicia will be opened by the younger generation with the same will as Alicia.

Then, it was Eden.

She acted even more indifferent because she believed in Alicia and understood her from the beginning to the end.

Therefore,

“No need to say goodbye. You are still here, aren’t you? You will exist forever along with the heaven and earth. So, no matter where you are, no matter what you have become, I will sing for you until the last moment.”

"Okay, after all, it's our agreement..."

Alicia smiled and responded.

"No matter what the end is, we will see it together...how about that?"

There was obviously not much sentimentality in their words, but the players felt so sad watching them.

Alicia acts so free and easy, but actually, she must be very reluctant.

Finally, Kevin.

Actually, Alicia didn't have anything else to say to her.

After all, he is the strongest. She believes that if there is someone who can support humanity towards a tomorrow without collapse, that person must be Kevin.

And at the very end, there was one thing she really wanted to know the answer to.

"I really want to know - Kevin, if you shed tears, do they freeze?"

"..."

Kevin remained silent. Facing Alicia's question, he did not give any answer.

[For the last time, Kevin, please stop playing with your hit counter.]

[Yes, if you don’t say it now, there will be no chance. ]

[Even if you don't want to answer this question, you should at least say a few words. There will be no chance in the future.]

At this moment, the audience who had not read the novel became anxious and started posting comments one after another.

The players who already knew the answer were already in tears.

When they watched it for the first time, they shed tears because of this scene, and at that time, they didn't know Alicia's true identity.

Now, they know.

Therefore, this scene made them feel even more uncomfortable.

"oops......"

Alicia's voice sounded a little panicked. She didn't expect Kevin to give her an answer like this.

"I'm just asking, don't really cry... act more like a boy, okay?"

But it is precisely because he is a big boy that he cries.

"But, thank you, now... I know the answer."

Alicia's voice was exceptionally gentle and happy.

"Look, it really does freeze..."

She gently brushed away the ice beads at the corners of Kevin's eyes.

"...But it's so warm."

In the live broadcast room, the players who were already struggling to hold on, when they heard Kevin really crying, their defenses broke down and tears poured out like a dam breaking.

By the way, these are people who haven’t read the novel. Because those who have read the novel had already started crying when Alicia asked that question.

Chapter 592: The First Ruler, the Ruler of Man

[Kevin actually cried...]

[Even the great master Kevin couldn't resist, so it's normal for me to burst into tears, right? ]

[It’s normal. It’s too normal. Woo woo woo woo…]

[Is this the only time Kevin cries? According to the timeline, this is the first time? The second time was when Mei died? ]

[I now finally understand why Kevin became so obsessed... No, I should say how did he become so obsessed? ]

[I finally understood why she refused to enter the pod at the end and chose to sing in the outside world until the world was destroyed... So she just wanted to fulfill her promise with Alicia? ]

The audience in the live broadcast room burst into tears. They were all deeply moved by the conversation between these people.

Velvet spread a huge lie called "The Thirteenth Herrscher" to future generations. Abonnie merged into the paradise and left her story for future generations.

Eden sang her favorite song at the last moment of the world's destruction, and then indulged in the previous scene with her.

And Kevin, who had grown into a warrior, shed frozen tears for the first time.

This was their way of sending off Alicia.

"Ah...I really hope this moment can last forever."

But this is impossible, this [banquet] is nearing its end.

Alicia understands this, so she will put a perfect end to it.

But at the very end, she had one more request.

"If, in the distant future, you meet a Herrscher like me... please tell me somehow. If that happens... I'll be very happy!"

So, from the beginning when Kevin invited Walter Yaya, to the final invitation to Mei, his purpose was always just to let Alicia meet a [Hersher] like her?

Is it to make her happy?

So, just because of Ellie's words, Kevin remembered it for 50,000 years?

This is really...

They no longer knew what to say.

Because they found that if they were in Kevin's position, they would not forget Ellie's request. After all, it was her last wish.

How could they not try every possible means to satisfy Miss Fairy?

The story continues.

Alicia continued to speak with longing,

"I hope I know that people in the future will no longer have to face the difficult choices we are facing now. I hope I will know that the footprints we leave in the world will eventually become a light for another person to move forward one day in the future."

“[Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope.] Only humans can think this way, and only humans can turn such beliefs into reality.”

Alicia paused, then asked everyone carefully in a distressing and uneasy tone,

"So, please tell me, at the end of this story... have I become a [human]?"

"【certainly】."

The people in the audience said.

【certainly. 】

The audience in the live broadcast room said.

There is no doubt that this is the common voice of countless people at this moment.

Virvi and others have also answered her question in this regard and replied in the affirmative.

This night, there is no longer any "Herrser" here. The one who will rest here forever and be sung by future generations is the noble and proud warrior of the Fire Moth, the creator of the Thirteen Heroes, and the noble and pure soul...

The flawless person——Alishia.

"【Thanks】."

The person on the stage said.

"Finally, it's time to say goodbye..."

Under the starry sky, Alicia turned her back to the crowd, faced toward "Hope", and prepared to meet her "end".

"Because I am a Herrscher, I may be able to do it. But because I am human, I can definitely do it."

She returned home and looked at her familiar friends.

"Well, my friends, my confidants, my most important companions... Alicia's farewell must be brilliant and beautiful, so... please bid me farewell one last time!"

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Alicia's figure turned into light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Then, the stars began to move.

Those originally entangled countless glowing filaments, those "strings" of fate that only Aponia could see, were disappearing into nothingness bit by bit.

It seems as if a pair of hands arranging the stars are erasing the originally predetermined future one by one.

Seeing this, everyone finally understood everything.

At first, they thought that the ending of the party was that Kevin killed Alicia and used the death of the Thirteenth Herrscher to stabilize the final situation of humanity.

After exploring the paradise, they realized that it was not Kevin who did it, but Alicia's suicide.

But now it seems that they only guessed half of it. Alicia did commit suicide, but it was not to stabilize the situation as they imagined.

Perhaps there is such a consideration, but Ai Lishia is more for hope and the future.

【Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope. 】

This has been the foreshadowing since the beginning of this chapter, and it is only now that everyone finally understands the meaning of this sentence.

[I think I understand. Alicia's [Power] actually has such an effect. Should I say that she is worthy of being the first Herrscher to possess [Humanity]? ]

【How to say? 】

[Isn't this obvious? From the description of the fate thread later, anyone can see that Ai Li used her own life to have some influence on fate.]

[“Because I am a Herrscher, I may be able to do it. Because I am a human, I can definitely do it.”, “Tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope.” Combining these two sentences, we can probably guess what Ai Li did. ]

[Yes, this is the truth. Alicia used her life and her [power] to leave seeds of hope for the future world, so that the current civilization will no longer be a puppet of fate.]

[So, the reason why the Herrschers of the current civilization are different from those in the previous article, and the reason why so many of them can remain rational, is actually because of Ai Li? ]

[Yes, that's the answer. In the past, I was always curious about why there was such a big difference between the Herrschers in the previous chapter and the Herrschers in the current civilization, and the biggest difference between them was...humanity. Now it seems that this is because Alicia gave humanity to the Herrschers of later generations. All this is due to Alicia.]

[So, it seems that Alicia's power is to restore other Herrschers' rationality? ]

[That's not right. If this is really Ellie's power, then why didn't she use it when she fought those Herrschers earlier? ]

[Because she herself didn't know. It was too late for Ellie to doubt that she was a Herrscher, and most importantly, she didn't even know what her power was. You know, this was her first and last time to use her power.]

[Yes, it is mentioned in the novel that Alicia wanted to do something, but she herself did not have confidence in it. Obviously, what she wanted to do was this. She was not sure if she could do it. But judging from the results of the first civilization, she was undoubtedly successful.]

[So, what kind of Herrscher is Alicia? ]
