"Yes, but also no."

Li Re remained calm. Letting Antis save his world was what he had always done. When he saw the throne in the deepest part of Arlond and the projection of the silver moon in front of the throne, he had already guessed that the knight girl with bright golden hair would never obediently step onto that throne and take charge of the new fire.

Therefore, even if Antis chose to draw his sword and split the throne, tear apart the First Fire, and distribute it to all living beings, it was not in his plan.

Li Re, however, was not at all surprised by this.

Because that's who she is.

She is the one he values.

"A girl who was born in darkness but still shines brightly - she must not be looked down upon in the slightest!" Li Re responded to the Giant King's surprise with great confidence.

The Giant King's single eye seemed to be spinning, and the huge, dark eye was shrinking and expanding in a spiral like a black hole.

The sky seemed to be silent again, and the two parties facing each other stared down.

The ground seemed to have stopped at this point, the monsters in the abyss had completely disappeared, the fighting had ceased, and people all looked up at the sky.

The bottom of the abyss seemed to fall into the underworld as Antis slashed down with his sword.

then.

The Giant King spoke—

The projection of 'Silver Moon' Yanike stood at the deepest part of Arlond under the mirror image of the abyss, standing beside Antis, and couldn't help but speak.

They said the same thing.

They said:

"It's a very bold move, a very unexpected behavior."

“But it’s hard to achieve.”

The Giant King said: "The First Flame under the Abyss Mirror Image is hidden deep in the 'past'. She alone cannot bring it completely to the 'present'!"

Yanike also said: "I have thought about this kind of thing before."

“But it failed in the end.”

"If not, the glory that envelopes the Silver Moon Kingdom will not be just the reflection of the glory of the First Flame in the past, but the real First Flame."

Yes.

Although Antis's behavior was beyond the ancient gods' expectations.

But they had not thought of such a move before.

Just failed.

as predicted.

As the words of the giant and Silver Moon fell one after another, the "First Fire" that flowed into the world with the light and shadow of Antis shining into reality slowly froze. Above the mirrored sky, the golden fire spread across the air like tentacles formed by rolling lava, solidified there, and no trace of it fell.

They have arrived at the gap between the mirror image and the real world.

Floating up from the deepest part of the mirror image.

But it stopped there.

Such a thing is not so easy - after all, the First Flame is unusual. Although the mirror of the Abyss can record and reproduce its state, it cannot pull it completely into the real present. Even Antis can only rely on the "sun fragments" to go to the time and space recorded in the "past".

And there is an infinite distance from the 'past' to the 'present'.

That is an obstacle that even gods cannot overcome.

It is a torrent that even gods find it difficult to cross.

The 'Silver Moon' Yanike back then couldn't do it.

The current 'Antis' can't do that either.

"call..."

Standing in front of the fallen throne, Antis stared at the cracked throne in front of him. The blonde girl lowered her eyes and gently closed her eyelids. She let out a long breath between the trembling eyelashes. She listened to the words projected by 'Silver Moon' Yanike beside her, but did not speak. She just gripped the Silver Moon Knight's longsword in her hand again, and then -

Sheath the sword.

Turn around and leave without hesitation!

The pair of pure white moon-like eyes behind the mask of 'Silver Moon' Yanike paused slightly, and she glanced sideways at the back of the figure walking away.

She opened her mouth.

But then I heard the other party say:

"I've said it before, this world is not mine to bear."

"I have done what I was supposed to do."

"So I won't swing the sword again. The last strike has already used up all my strength. If I swing the sword again, I will die."

"I don't want to die."

"Besides, just one sword is enough."

"Then it's their business."

they?

them--!?

Yanike's projection instantly knew what Antis was referring to, and a look of disbelief suddenly emerged in her eyes. She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the 'world of fire' above the abyss mirror, and her eyes widened slightly.

Antis walked out of the door without hesitation, as if everything really had nothing to do with him anymore.

The magnificent throne began to crack step by step behind her.

The cracks of the broken pieces became more and more obvious.

The marks left by the sword seemed to be spreading continuously.

But this has nothing to do with Antis.

She had even restrained the flames that were blooming on her body, restrained the raging burning of fragments and debris in her body, and restrained all her strength and will.

This crack comes from the 'present world'.

From the world above the mirror.

In that world, the light that Antis shone on everyone had disappeared, and the firewood in the hands of the people who had gone and returned had long been consumed. However, the world did not fall into darkness again. Countless people gazed at the molten light of the first fire emerging in the sky, and after listening to the words from His Highness Antis, they slowly raised their hands under this lava-like fire, following the meaning of the voice.

Just raise your hand to receive the first fire.

This is what your highness meant.

Reach out and you can bring hope to yourself.

This is the word they heard.

His Highness Antis would not lie to them - after going back and forth, wasting time several times, and after crossing a long period of darkness and loneliness, they really saw the light from the first fire again, and they would never give up the hope before them.

So they raised their hands.

then.

After Antis's fire that illuminated the real world ceased to shine, the abyss once again had a mirror image.

And at this moment, the mirror image beneath the abyss reflected their existence and their shadows, exactly the same as them - raised their hands!

Countless mirror images converge together.

Coincidentally, a huge shadow was formed.

Then there is the reversal of heaven and earth.

It was the first fire that appeared in the air due to the mirror image.

come down!

The first fire that existed in the 'past' of the abyss mirror instantly penetrated the barriers of time and space and fell into the 'present'!

"This is impossible!"

The Giant King was shocked again. He looked at the first fire that was spreading to the entire world under his feet and the light that was scattering and falling under his feet, and he couldn't help but feel unbelievable.

It was unbelievable that this group of mortals actually used their own shadows that appeared in the mirror to push out the "First Fire" that existed in the mirror.

Millions of mortals.

Thousands of figures can be merged into one through mirroring.

To do something that even gods can't do! ?

"Nothing is impossible."

Li Re was also watching and talking.

He said: "You are not the only ones who can use mirror images. We can do it too."

"Of course, in the final analysis, you underestimated the humans in this world—"

"You cannot imagine how strong life is to be able to survive even when close to the abyss, to move forward tenaciously with only the remaining flames, and to overcome the darkness."

“They may be as fragile as ants, but they are also as tenacious as ants.”

"And when the ants gather together, the surging tide is enough to change the whole world—"

For example, now.

For example, right now!

But the first fire that penetrated the mirror and fell from the sky did not bring earth-shattering destruction. The rolling flames just dripped like rain while flowing, falling on the heads of everyone walking in the dark, lighting up their whole bodies, and falling into everyone's sight, making them incredibly bright.

With a sudden thud.

The 'throne' deep in Arlond was completely shattered.

'Silver Moon' Yanike looked at the ancient and magnificent throne being completely shattered, and also looked at the first fire dissipating and disappearing in the sky. She stood there in a daze, and looked at the world above the abyss.

All I saw was a long flame.

Scattered across the vast dark land.

At a glance.

It's like the stars are like fire - lighting up the dark world!

"All living things are like fire, and all people are stars."

This time, Li Re lowered his eyes, looked down at his feet, and suddenly grinned.

He said, "It seems that this is what Andre mentioned earlier... the future he saw, the so-called era of stars."

Everyone is a star.

Everyone is also the 'first fire'.

Although the abyss still exists, those who control the First Fire are no longer afraid of the threat of the abyss, and the world will no longer fall into decadence because of the demise of one person.

Although the first fire was not complete, each person only had scattered fragments of it.

But its essence remains unchanged.

The world will no longer depend on one person.

On top of the whole.

Dotted with stars.

It finally truly illuminated the whole world.

More illuminated——

A giant that covers the sky!

Antis slowly stepped out of the Sun Palace and stopped outside the threshold. The girl with swaying golden hair raised her head and looked upwards.

Li Re in the air also turned his head and looked in front of him.

"Breathe...inhale..." The Giant King raised his eyes amid the surging wind and clouds.

Between the huge one-eye and the

Li Re raised his eyebrows.

He said: "The battle above and below ground has already come to an end."
