After the Desperate Dagama revealed his true form, the blood-red of the sky began to grow deeper and deeper, as if falling into endless darkness, spreading towards the clear blue of the distance.

The crowd also felt a very powerful and terrible coercion descending on them, a feeling of "despair", and it was also because of Dagama's desperate fluctuations that their movements began to slow down. However, Rin's holy mark was able to stop some of his power, and the feeling of fear in everyone's hearts gradually began to dissipate as Namba rose.

"Despair is inevitable, despair is the truth!"

Dagama let out a deafening roar, and the space around them began to distort, turning from the tissue of glass and steel to flesh, and the soft flesh was inevitably nauseous and uncomfortable under his feet.

"It's coming, Rin."

"Yes, Captain."

Rin knew that this was the final battle, and if they lost here, then the humans of the Second World would be plunged into endless despair, killed by the plague of despair. He drove his Hypernetus to use the Flame Lion Array again, and not only that, but he also blessed his sword blade with the Holy Inscription, in order to ensure that the attack would hurt the "Despair Heavenly Sage" Dagama in front of him.

"Concentrate your fire! Let's attack it together! ”

At the sound of Mei's command, the dragon of Kurigara flew out of the void, with a cold purple electric light, gathered on the dragon's head, ready to shoot towards Dagama.

"Truth 2, power liberation!"

"Primordial two, liberation!"

"Crows!"

The combined attack of everyone turned into a dazzling aurora, blasting out towards Da Gama in front of him, and at that moment, Da Gama realized that this time because of the blessing of Rin's holy inscription, this blow would cause him a lot of damage.

It unleashed a deep and pitch-black field of despair in order to stop the multicolored aurora, and when this continuous attack lasted for more than twenty seconds, Bronya and the others were the first to disarm the attack.

"Hug...... Despair. ”

Vagama's body emitted a violent pitch-black fluctuation, which Elysia had seen before, an attack called "Despair Fluctuation", and if they ate this move, the flow of Honkai energy in their bodies would be hindered.

But Rin won't let this attack take effect, driven by the Daylight Sacred Carving, every member of the team present is protected by Daylight's spiritual power, so that when the fear wave hits them, it loses the effect of energy blocking.

"Pull out of formation! Stay protected! I'm here to protect you! So you're all right! ”

Rin instructed the battle crowd to pay attention to the position of the formation, and continued to drive the holy inscription in his body, preparing for the next spell.

"Dark Night Technique: Celestial Star Map!"

At the moment when the celestial star map unfolded in the air, the team members seemed to feel a feeling of power blessing, and the fatigue of fighting against the trash fish began to be swept away. This is a technique to transfer her power to the members, and Rin reveals the power of the Night Mark, and divides them between Bronya, Mei, and Elysia, among others.

"It's time to attack! Everybody! ”

Rin gave an order, and the heavy rabbit's siege cannon, Mei's Kuligara, and Elysia's star mark were fired out together, and they attacked Dagama again. Dagama realized that this attack was still a great threat to him, so he condensed most of the Honkai energy in his body and once again created a shield that could withstand the attack.

However, the main purpose of this attack was to break down Dagama's defenses, not to be able to harm him.

At the moment when Da Gama's despair barrier failed, Rin lifted the Night Spell and added the Daylight Technique amplification to his blade, and with a "Fierce Beastmaster Claw", he rushed straight towards Da Gama's head.

"Hmm...... Gash!!h ”

Rin's blade screeched into Dagama's skull, and as its face began to twist painfully, white light burst out from where the sword had been inserted.

The damage was already heavy for Dagama, but even in this case, Dagama still wanted to resist. Seeing that Dagama's tentacles were about to catch him, Rin pulled his sword out of Dagama's forehead and jumped down from the air.

"Crows!"

Dr. Edward used his abilities to catch Rin, and the entire combat team coordinated with precision, gradually gaining the upper hand. Dargamma was not an easy target to defeat, only to see it once again release a wave of despair from its body, and its force was twice as strong as before.

"Rin!"

"I know!"

Rin unleashed Daylight once more, casting his blessing on the team members present, barely blocking the attack.

"Why...... You're just tiny human beings...... Also, the Creator of the Stars, who is like gravel, is a small existence...... Why rebel against me as a god!!! ”

Dagama was furious, the wound on his forehead was bursting with white light, and it was clear that he had no resistance to Rin's attack. Everyone present can only harm Dagama because of Rin's holy engraving technique, which means that if there is no key Rin present, then Dagama will not be harmed in any way.

I saw that the planet above him began to spiral, releasing high-speed rotating planetary fluctuations, which made the entire Tower of Babel unable to withstand this strong fluctuation and began to shake. Mei Yi also immediately summoned Kurigara again, signaling everyone to hurry up.

The Tower of Babel collapsed under the intense bombardment, and the entire upper floor fell from a great height as if it had been torn apart. Seeing this scene, the Valkyrie combat members on the ground hurriedly evacuated from the hall of the headquarters, preparing to take shelter in a safe place.

"Attention units! The decapitation force is at war with Dagama, the Lawgiver of Despair! Please wait for the combat personnel who have completed the combat operation at the predetermined coordinates! ”

After giving the order to retreat, Urlandel looked at Kurigala hovering overhead, and Dagama, who had become large again, and realized that the battle had reached a climax.

"Come on! Kuligara! Please, Rin, please use the power of the Daylight Technique to amplify Kurigara's attack! ”

"Yes!"

When Kurigara spewed purple electric light around Dagama, Rin's holy inscription was also blessed on Kurigara's body, and he continued to attack Dagama. At the same time, Bronya began to load the next siege cannon, and thanks to the power of the Lawgiver of Reason, the process was shortened to tens of seconds before she could attack again.

"Why...... Why!! Mankind!! I have given you civilization, I have given you everything! You will disobey me! Betray me!! ”

"Gamma people, earthlings!! Why do you rebel against God's will!! I am the founder of your 'civilization'! I am your God!! ”

Dagama was already seriously injured by this time, and roared hysterically in Agnes' voice. And with the blessing of Rin's daylight carving, Kuligara continued to attack, and Bronya's siege cannon also shot out at the same time.

"Sister Elysia! Why are you just watching? Do it! ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Ai, it's not yet time for my beautiful ♪ girl to appear~hehe~"

In fact, Elysia had been preparing, she had fought Vasco before, and she knew when it was when it was at its weakest. Let Bronya and Mei weaken Dagama's power with Rin's blessing, and finally the moment she can kill it at once, she will launch the final blow, this is her plan.

"Good chance!"

Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Dagama began to splice more deformed monsters from his body with all his might, trying to reduce Rin's attacks by summoning trash fish.

However, Rin was already prepared, and just as Dagama was dividing his cells, he released the Dark Night Sacred Engraved Pattern in his right hand, alternating the engraved imprints of day and night, and launched the Second Liberation Technique, Starry Sky Flow. The sky began to darken, forming a boundary between day and night, and the blood-red sky gradually faded away, replaced by a beautiful sky of spectacle.

Under the flow of stars, everything that exists in the world will be carried out in a "reductive" way, and the division of Dagama's body will gradually disappear, and the split tissue will also return to his body.

"Stop! Stop! How can I ...... Fail! I can't accept it! I also want to spread the truth of despair to the world!! ”

"I don't want to die!! I'm here!! God!! I am the great Titan, I am the great God!!! ”

With Dagama's painful wail, all of its attacks were wiped out in the starry markings, and soon, Elysia finally had a move, and all she had to do was mend the sword.

"Go to another world and apologize to the people you hurt! Dagama of despair! Cute 'humans' are not the toys of an inferior ugly god like you! Bloom! Flying Flowers!! ”

An arrow pierced through the sky, blooming brilliantly on Dagama's body, and countless symbols of life—vines and flowers—entrenched on his body, constantly absorbing the power of despair in his body.

"You're welcome~ I'll give you another shot! This is a beautiful girl's thank you gift~♪"

Elysia fired another arrow at the point where it had been fired, slicing the arrow embedded in Dagama's body deep into his body. Soon, Dagama's body began to crack, and the white light in his body continued to drift towards the boundary between light and dark in the sky.

"I'm ...... God...... I don't accept ......"

"Aniel...... Your time of death is near...... Anel !!! ”

With the disappearance of the boundary between light and dark, the sky gradually became clearer, and the blood-red sky had disappeared, leaving only specks of light falling from the sky. Dr. Edward stretched out his hand and caught the bits of stardust falling from the sky, only to find that these stardust were crystals left behind by Dagama's death, forming a very beautiful shower of stardust that drifted away everywhere on the earth.

"Is it over?"

Rin seemed to be a little exhausted and collapsed on Kurigara's back, smiling with relief as she watched the starspots fall on his face.

"It's over."

Everyone knows that thanks to their efforts, they have finally joined forces to eliminate the president of New Arcadia, the "Lawgiver of Despair" Dagama, who has plagued this second world for a long time, and the plague of despair will never continue to spread.

After returning to the ground, since Rin seemed to have consumed too much physical strength, Elysia took the initiative to ask Ying to carry him back, and everyone had to let Elysia carry her "good apprentice" on her back, and everyone went to return to Urlandelle. But because Rin didn't like Elysia, he didn't want Elysia to carry him back, even if he was too tired to get up.

However, Elysia also had a happy and smug expression of "what can you do with me", carried her good apprentice behind her back, and even deliberately turned him twice. Rin also dared to be angry at this time, thinking that she would go back and take revenge on this Alysia who was full of crooked ideas, and make her pay for her actions.

Seeing that the blood-red sky above them had vanished, Glolandel realized that they had eliminated the "Dagama of Despair", and turned on the radio on the communicator, announcing the success of the operation.

"Yay!!"

"Great!!"

"What a captain!!"

The cheers of the crowd were incessant, and in their opinion, the result of the destruction of Dagama was undoubtedly the best reward for the reward they had paid.

"That's amazing, Edward, and Rin......"

Having just experienced the battle to clean the underground waterways, Ryan and Norni, as well as Jingliu and the others, although they all had some colors on their faces, but at this time their mood was happy and happy. When the heroes who had defeated the Great Demon King returned, the crowd surrounded them with cheers and couldn't stop praising their achievements after their victory.

"Mainly this kid...... Without him, we wouldn't have been able to deal with that Dagama...... If you want to thank him, thank him. ”

Mei Yi pointed to Rin on Elysia's back, and Elysia also praised this young hero very proudly, and said, This is my proud disciple, he can have today's achievements, and I also have the credit of my master for his devil training.

Elysia's friend and colleague, Lady Aponia of the Council of Thirteen, came over with Eden, and after asking about Elysia's injuries, she said she was doing a good job this time. Since the last time it happened in "Anno Collapse", many of the "Former Fire Thirteen Heroes" have not fought for a long time, and Elysia has also become the "Pretty Girl Hero" she has always wanted to be, giving the "Despair Celestial Saint - Dagama" the final blow and killing him.

In this regard, Ashilia also said a little proudly: "Hehe~ Beautiful girls can do anything~♪"

Doctor Edward, who was on the side, poured cold water on her and said, "Come on, Sister Ellie, who took almost a day to kill Dagama when he singled it out?" This is everyone's credit, so don't take it all at yourself. ”

Apoña and Eden also covered their mouths and laughed, indicating that they were also very used to her appearance. After all, Elysia is the kind of wayward fairy lady who "can't be controlled by anyone", whether she does her own job or not, it is completely based on her own nature, and no one can control her.

"Then let's go back and prepare for the celebration feast!" Glondelle happily announced.

"Okay!!"

The crowd returned to Destiny with the news of the victory in the battle, and in order to celebrate the victory, a grand celebration party was coming. Immediately after that, there is a long holiday, waiting for the brave men who have defeated the Great Demon King, providing them with a short rest.

As dawn came, the darkness faded.

This is where the despair of the human heart will end, and hope will come.

Where there is light, there is hope.

This is the reason why human beings keep doing what they have done before.

In the ethereal darkness, a dark will floating in the universe, with the resentment of being killed and defeated by the sons of men, floated endlessly in the dark starry sky.

"I'm ...... God! I don't want it! Disappear ......"

"I've lived such a long time...... I've never experienced what it's like to die!! ”

Just as it was about to re-pass through the thick branches of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, through the planes of the Second World, and to return to the earth again. From the surface of the Second World, an extremely strong light emanated, illuminating the darkness in the void.

A cluster of light in the form of a woman with a glittering light all over her body came to the small black splinter. She is the embodiment of a "nun", and her expression and appearance belong to the type of "sacred", no matter who sees her, they will spontaneously feel the peace and tranquility brought by "tolerance", as well as the beauty.

"Hehe~ I haven't seen you for a long time, you are actually so embarrassed, 'little black briquette'~"

And the splinter in the darkness, facing this existence called the "Lord of Forbearance", was also gritting his teeth and saying: "Annell, why are you here? Did you come to see my jokes? ”

The mysterious female being named "Anel" did not answer it, but only grew bigger and bigger, and her body became a tall titan, surrounded by light. Soon, she turned into a huge white giant, a "giant heavenly saint" who couldn't see the gender clearly, and his voice was still a kind and kind, peaceful "girl" voice.

He just spoke slowly, and said something to the "Desperate Da Gama" who was already only conscious: "No~ The concubine body just feels ...... You look so sad~"

"What qualifications do you have to judge me? Abandoned by your brothers and sisters, you have chosen your people...... Shame on you 'Titan'! ”

"Oh, as the eldest sister, I'm the oldest of the Titans? Don't forget who mediated the war between the brothers and sisters during the 'Goddai War'? Who is this lovely nun~"

The radiant body of the "Giant Heaven Saint-Anner" put the pitch-black fragment on the palm of his hand, only to see that the pitch-black fragment quickly melted and decomposed in Annell's hand. The dark consciousness of the remnants of consciousness was unwilling, and it struggled to resist the erosion of Anel's light, wriggling, struggling in Anel's hands like a reptile.

"No...... Why are you ...... Decide my fate! Anel !! I don't admit everything about you, what are you the 'most powerful Heavenly Sage', why! We are all children of the 'will of the universe', why were you born first! Why! ”

"Moreover, you have defined your gender as a 'human'! Why do you want to survive in the second world as a weak 'woman'? Why?! Answer me! Abandoning the identity of 'god', do you want to be 'human' so much?! Anel !! ”

Anel did not respond to his anger, and after the dark shards were gone, Aniel's light dissipated. But at this time, Annell's consciousness was still looking at the earth in the second world that was about the same size as herself, and her thoughts were also focused on one person.

The existence called "Prince of Light", he is the existence "shaped" by his own hands, and he is also the only "biological child" he wants to see after "falling into a human". Anel has been looking for him in the second world for a long time, although he has already found his child, Anel is still very jealous of him and refuses to recognize him, so he has been observing everything about him and looking forward to the growth of her child.

God has no emotions, and God has no independent thoughts. And Anel is so eager to become a human that she has now given up her divine right and chose to appear as a human in order to bring her child a bright future and illuminate his future path.

"O concubine child...... Please come and meet the concubine, the concubine misses you very much~ and you will continue to move forward and find your way. ”

"The concubine is cute, the little prince~"

The upper ground area of the Mandate of Heaven Maitreya City

After Dagama was eliminated, Bishop Teresa decided to return to the above-earth area with the members of the Mandate of Heaven who had been hiding underground for nearly a month.

Although the place was already a mess, with the death of Dagama, the Honkai distortions formed by his infection also disappeared. Since there is still work to be done to restore the city, the urban construction department managed by Elysia will only do more and not less.

Still, the big guys are happy to celebrate their victory in a city that has been abandoned for almost a month. And the "members of Unit 7" celebrated their victory in a somewhat peculiar way, and they were going to have a "barbecue dinner" at the door of their already tattered dormitory.

Rin helped Bronya set up the table, chair and bench and asked her, "Eh, Captain, we're sure we're in the ruins...... Grill barbecue? ”

"That's right, it's also a way to celebrate victory in battle." Bronya replied, and instructed the powerful Linqi not to break the rack when she moved the barbecue.

"Eh, how can this be! I can't accept it! ”

Yu Linqi began to help the members of Team 7 carry the barbecue grill, and Freya was also helping with the ingredients. Ritter and Rin, on the other hand, carried large and small tables, chairs and benches, and started a barbecue party in front of the "ruins" of the seventh team's dormitory, where they used to live.

Although Eulandel ordered them to enjoy the evening, they weren't as gregarious as the others who were happy to go to the dungeon dinner. After all, these guys are not only the type who like to "play video games when they have nothing to do", but they are basically influenced by Bronya and become a bit homely.

"Yo, you're there too? Looks like we're on the same page, huh? ”

The person who spoke to Bronya was Miss Carol of Unit 3, who had killed many of the Titan troops sent by Agnes in order to cover the fact that Mei and Bronya were able to reach the Tower of Babel in order to cover the fact that Mei and Bronya were able to reach Babel.

"Bronya, dinner...... Aren't you going to participate? Glondelle: They're all over there. ”

Mei also spotted Bronya, who was about to add coal to the barbecue, and walked over to her and asked. And Bronya noticed that Mei Yi came and said a word, saying to her:

"Mei Yi, didn't you go too?"

"yes, I'm still not used to big occasions, at least a lot of people celebrate there, aren't they? And...... Because you weren't there, I didn't go either. ”

"Let's forget it, we're almost thirty years old."

"I'm thirty-one."

Bronya and Mei were talking and laughing, not noticing that more people were leaning over this way. The person who came was Lady Mebius, and it seemed that the protagonists who had contributed to the crusade against Da Gama had gone elsewhere, so they came here from the dungeon to find someone.

"Oh, it's here...... I also said that the heroes of this dinner party were not there, so they came here for a small party. ”

After learning that Glondelle couldn't come to the dinner due to something, they also gave up the celebration banquet. After all, Destiny spent nearly a month in the dungeon city with a shortage of supplies, and everyone almost consumed the food stock, and they couldn't hold a banquet smoothly.

"So I said, it's all the reason why Mebius eats five bowls of one meal a day~ right? Little Snake Snake~♪"

"Shut up! You pink goblin who eats seven bowls in one meal! ”

"Hey~♪"

Elysia also smelled the smell of barbecue, and followed in the direction of Bronya's team's barbecue. Because I don't know how to cook, the dinner party was canceled and I couldn't find anything to eat, so I came over with me when I smelled the smell.

"Eh, I just happened to be looking for you, and I ended up having a party here...... It's a strange idea. ”

Dr. Edward took Miss Aqia with him, and the two of them found the place, followed by Mikaledia. At this point, the members of the decapitation operation against Da Gama gathered in front of the collapsed house of the dormitory of Unit 7 to enjoy the night of victory.

At the small banquet, there were Mebius and Elysia who fought over a medium-rare steak, Edward and Akia who chatted quietly about the past, Yu Linqi, Ritter and Carol who guessed the fist during the meal, and Adam and Mei Yi, who were in charge of continuing the barbecue.

There are only Bronya and Rin, and the two of them seem to be doing something different from others, which is to play mobile games in the dark. attracted Chela, who was still picking roasted vegetables on the side, but also reminded these two games to come home:

"Huh? Why do you guys keep playing games? Eat, it's not delicious when it's cold. ”

And Bronya didn't hear it, and she was angrily blaming Rin for why she didn't help her win the red when she was in the jungle just now. Rin asked Bronya rhetorically that she had already chosen the position of "jungler", why didn't she let her go down the road to help her fight the red buff? Could it be her unique understanding of the game?

Bronya also reminded angrily: "You just say that you won't win, as far as you understand this bronze game, it's good to be able to score, and I pick and choose with the captain's sister...... Be content, you. ”

At this time, Ciel also brought Jack, Abigail, and Javi to dinner, and she seemed to have learned about Bronya's location through Sister Mei's text message. Because I didn't receive a text message from Bronya's sister just now, I began to complain about her:

"Gee, why don't you call me here?"

"I called, but you won't answer."

"Say...... What to say! Sister Bronya...... Ah no, Bronya, didn't I say you're going to call me again when I don't answer? It's okay to text and text, are you so lazy?! ”

Ciel disagreed with what Bronya had said, as she had been worried about Bronya since before the start of the operation. Although she was fighting in the underground waterway area of Group B, she did her best, even if she didn't help too much, she did the work of cleaning up the trash fish, but she shouldn't have been forgotten by Bronya.

"I'm sorry, Ciel, I think I forgot."

"Humph! That's why I hate you! Reflect on it! ”

Ciel was obviously unacceptable to Bronya's apology, and although her vice-captain Jack kept trying to dispel her anger, she still muttered that Bronya had forgotten me again. After Xi'er stopped, Mei Yi also arranged for them to sit down, and she continued to work on the barbecue grill.

"Okay, okay, it's rare for everyone to get together...... Don't be emotional, come, sit, there are still a lot of things, eat slowly. ”

"Captain, do you want to put all of this up?"

"Okay, put it all up."

Gradually, as the night wore on, and after all the people who had come to Bronya's barbecue dinner had left, only Rin and her captain Bronya, the two of them helped pack up their things, and decided to put them in the old room of the Seventh Unit dormitory first, and then come back the next day.

"Captain."

"Huh? What's wrong. ”

"It's a ...... After all, after I awakened the Holy Inscription, what should I say about the process of crusading against Dagama today? It's overdone...... Is it. ”

Rin fears that one day Da Gama will return with his resentment, but they don't know at this time that the adventure is not over and that in the future, greater challenges await them.

His mission was not over yet, and from the moment he awakened the "Holy Inscription", the "divinity" in his body also began to "bless (curse)" him. Dagama said that Rin was a child of fate who was called "the son of man, the Prince of Light". And the fate he has to bear as a son of destiny can be said to be a "particularly ideal" result for him.

Seeing that Rin seemed to be worried about something, Bronya also guessed what he was thinking about, so she opened her mouth to tell him not to worry too much, and said:

"Don't worry about that, we're not working together to solve Dagama, so what you have to do is get some sleep and wait for tomorrow to help the people from the urban construction department repair the dormitory together...... That's it. ”

"Well, well, when Dagama comes back, we'll kill him again."

After Bronya and Rin put everything in the abandoned dormitory, the two of them also walked in and looked at the familiar furniture and scenery...... As well as their respective original rooms on the second floor.

"If it weren't for the collapse of the ceilings, I think I'd still want to stay here tonight......"

"Rin, you're really, look at how much dust there is, if I don't clean it, do you dare to sleep here all night?"

"yes, hahahaha......"

Back in the dungeon, squatting in his small room, Rin only felt that today was a very fulfilling day, and it was a rare thing to be able to spend this beautiful night with everyone except for the process of fighting. It's late at night, and tomorrow I'm going to help the people from the Urban Construction Department repair their old dormitory, hoping that they haven't found the barbecue utensils and small tables secretly hidden there.

- Chapter 1: The end of the barren land where despair befell him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A week later, the Mandate of Heaven Maitreya City

At this time, the city was in ruins, and with the efforts of the Ministry of Urban Construction, the preliminary repair work of the St. Freya's dormitory area had also been completed.

Because he didn't have time to clean up the barbecue utensils and small tables hidden in the original dormitory of Unit 7, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Urban Construction and Elysia's confidant, Mr. Badr also trained the captain and deputy captain of the 7th team.

Rin and Bronya both had dumbfounded expressions, and Badr was scolding them for not having this kind of East XZ here that was inconvenient for the restoration.

"Ms. Bronya, I can understand that you had a late meeting here last night, but please both of you can appreciate the hard work of our Urban Development Department......

"Yes yes yes ......"

Usually like two underage children, but now they are like underage children, two people who have nothing to say about Badr's words, and hurriedly signaled to help the staff of the Ministry of Urban Construction clean up the barbecue utensils together.

"I said you...... You can't just get up early and clean up. ”

"Who knew it didn't go off this morning?"

The two of them are constantly throwing the pot at each other, you and I are saying one sentence at all, and I don't know if it's the alarm clock or the people's problem.

After cleaning up, Bronya and Rin asked the staff of the Urban Construction Department to follow them into the damaged dormitory of Unit 7 to help them see the familiar layout and speed up the restoration process.

The latest high-tech printer from the Sky Research Department is used to repair the damaged building, which can restore the previous appearance with a printing module after a rough scan of the house. After about thirty minutes, the house was repaired, and looking at their repaired, brand-new hometown, the two of them invariably shed tears of emotion.

"Great...... Captain, finally don't have to be in the ...... So the tide of ...... Life in an underground house! ”

"I'm also impressed, vice-captain."

Life is like the sun tomorrow, every day will have a time to rise, and it is also like hope is always in people's hearts, never extinguished.

May the martial arts prosper in the future, and the warriors who crusade against the demon king.

"Yes yo ~ The little prince with a cute concubine, I wish you good luck ~ Hurry up and find your mother, mom really, I miss you so much~"

It was Annell's voice, and she was sitting in the bishop's office at the headquarters of the Arcstar Church. Looking at the brightest star in the night sky, which was the raw material she had used to shape her "child" form, and the "light of hope", along with her good wishes, descended on him.
