I already said this is not a life simulator!

[Is it not possible for me to chat with you? ]

"of course!"

[Haha~ Don't worry, I don't mean to complain to you... It's just that Dr. Mei has something to deal with recently, so he is not free... I will take advantage of this time to contact you quietly~ I want to talk to you so that you won't be lonely, right? ]

"I'm not alone, okay? Besides my songs, I now have a little one to keep me company. Look!"

Xi Wang said this and held a small doll in his arms.

It was a puppet with long straight black hair, eyes as blue as the sea, wearing a white Gothic skirt with red spots, a big bow tied at the waist, black leather boots on the feet, and a black top hat on the head. She looked like an elegant musician.

"I've already done it. Although it hasn't woken up yet, I tried singing in front of it. I also played a few violin pieces. I don't know if it will still remember them after it wakes up... If I have to make an analogy, it's probably similar to [prenatal education]?"

[Hahaha...your words are really interesting]

"I originally wanted to tell Dr. Mei this good news..."

[It seems like I knew it in advance? ]

"Don't tell her secretly, okay?"

[Hahaha... I won't, in exchange...]

It fell into a brief thought, and the expression on its face became hesitant, but in the end it still spoke to Xiwang.

[Can I ask you for a favor? ]

Please, don't agree, please... absolutely don't agree...

Although no one knew what it wanted to do, the others who witnessed all this, those who could not speak, were praying silently in their hearts.

Only Mei and others who knew the truth pursed their lips unwillingly... because they all knew what the final result would be.

"Okay~"

He didn't even ask what he needed help with, he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

He...didn't refuse.

[We have been...it has been raining recently. This abnormal weather is obviously not right. Dr. Mei has been busy because of this matter. I thought...you seemed to have shown the ability to control water before, so I wanted to ask you for help...If you need anything, you can tell me directly. If it is too difficult, then forget it.]

It said this, and acted so conspicuously that the others felt annoyed and anxious.

"It's been...raining?"

Xiwang tilted his head in some confusion.

Is it Skadi who is controlling it? Or... is it the [Mother]?

If that's the case, I really need some help to prevent [Blood Relatives] from being attacked... Just appease them a little.

"I understand. I will help~ Yeah... and it's not something that's too difficult~"

Xi Wang smiled, smiled happily, put the puppet in his hand aside, and spoke softly.

"I don't need anything... After all, my [singing] is pretty good~"

「Then……I’ll leave it to you.」

"Okay~"

Its tone was sincere, full of pleading and requesting, and after receiving Xiwang's affirmative answer, it also interrupted the communication.

However, Xiwang's image did not disappear. Instead, it occupied half of the screen, allowing others to watch it. On the other half of the screen, it gradually regained its original... sarcastic smile.

[Hehe...Hahahaha!!! Look~ Even at this point, he's still willing to help you~]

「Ah, by the way, I know what you want to ask... That's right~ It was me~ who made him lose the ability to refuse~ So no matter what, as long as you ask him and give enough reasons, he will agree~」

[It’s just that~you guys didn’t notice~hahahahaha!!! It’s because you’ve long been accustomed to his help and have long taken his attitude for granted, so~you didn’t notice at all~]

Then, it sighed again and said with regret.

[What a shame. I thought there would be some idiot who would let him commit suicide. After all, he could become a Herrscher. What a shame, he didn’t die.]

[But...it doesn't matter~ It's okay now~]

It admired Xi Wang as he sorted things in the lunar base, watched Xi Wang preserve everything he owned, and watched him walk with ease towards the direction he intended to go.

Then, at this time, it suddenly said.

[You say, if ~ you let him use your weapons while helping you and singing for you...]

A small frame appeared, which was a picture of the "Moonlight Throne" battleship moving slowly.

[If I kill him...]

The muzzle of the gun was slowly turning towards Xiwang's direction.

[What do you think...Xi Wang would think? ]

[And Miss Eden, who knew nothing about this, but witnessed her lover being murdered with her own eyes...what would she think~]

[It’s really exciting~]

Its sound is full of evil, but the picture it describes is particularly chilling.

[Speaking of which, a sudden "judgment" is a bit too much, so... let's just give a little "preview"]

With a malicious laugh, it slowly controlled everything, or to be more precise, it controlled everything on the lunar base.

All the backup plans that Mei had left to deal with Xiwang had now become its tools and instruments to help it.

But... in a sense, it is still helping humans~

After all, it was just taking advantage of the situation to fulfill mankind's expectations and conform to mankind's ideas to... [attack] Xiwang.

--------

"……Eh?"

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

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

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

All the objects that I once treasured were taken away, and I couldn't see them at all.

Now, only his location remained - a place for viewing the Earth.

The target here is the coordinate, it is... the place for them to aim at - Xiwang realized this immediately.

"It looks like the time for the [Curtain Call] is coming soon..."

His tone suddenly became lost, and his star-like eyes became dim.

"It is time for me, the Herrscher, to conquer."

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

How ironic, how ridiculous.

Among all the depressed and angry emotions, it was the only one that could still smile, and only the unaware Eden was looking forward to it.

"Ugh……"

Xiwang sighed again.

Although I had foreseen this outcome, I am still a little scared when facing this ending...

I looked up and saw the beautiful blue star.

He was not angry, nor resentful, nor even...resistant.

He didn't think of escaping or fighting back, he just... smiled softly.

Everything... is for humanity.

But before leaving, he...has one more song to give you.

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

"Hush...huh..."

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

Father Enrique, Mother Teresa, the teachers who helped him; Oak, Silver and everyone who cared about him; and most importantly, Sakura and... Eden.

He is...very happy.

When I opened my eyes, those eyes sparkled like stars in the night, carrying with them a deep attachment and a gentleness like water and wind.

He was smiling, still smiling.

In the end, in this [Curtain Call] song, let me...try to give it my best.

His power began to flow. The golden light was like silk and stream. The golden notes quietly emerged and leaped, giving the invisible song a visible form. And then... it floated gently through the dark and cold space, towards the beautiful blue star.

I give this [song]...to this world that loves me.

Then, his voice rang out softly, crossing the vast distance, passing through the area where sound could not pass, and falling on the 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 with a hint of sadness... That was an emotion that was hard to feel from Xi Wang, an emotion that many people had never noticed from him.

Sadness... ah... yes, how can someone always be happy? How can someone always be so gentle? It's just... I don't show my sadness.

Even so, even at this point, Xi Wang was still willing to help them, to help with all his might... 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 song, singing loudly, dissolving all his emotions, his strength, and everything he had into the song.

I will dissolve everything I have into song, and dedicate everything I have to this world that loves me, and to all the people who love me.

Xi Wang smiled, and was still smiling, with incomparable determination in his eyes.

Everything is for... [Humanity].

It was also at this moment that 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 Flower of Humanity (Purple), the triggering conditions have been met, and it has taken effect! ]

【You retain control of yourself! 】

--------

[Hahaha!!! Look~ This is your "hope". Even at this point, even if he finds out that you are going to "attack" him, he is still willing to help you... Listen, this song full of hope, this song full of tenderness... This is the "hope" you have given up! You gave up on yourselves! ]

Its voice is full of arrogance and ridicule.

[Oh my, my... Mr. Qianjie, you are still looking for me~ It's really a waste of time and effort~]

"Shut up!!! Herrscher! I will tear you to pieces!!!"

[Hahaha~ I’m looking forward to it~]

???~

It is Xiwang’s singing that flows.

[Ah... Ugh... Damn it... Shouldn't you die?! ]

In the picture, its expression suddenly became ferocious, as if it was fighting against something.

zizi——

As a result, the picture began to become unstable.

[How could I... let you hurt him...]

It was the voice and tone of [Wright]. At this moment, its body seemed to be fought over by two beings. The hand holding the gun slowly raised up, while the other hand held it down with all its strength.
