The rain started inopportunely in the sky, making the already tense situation even more agitated.

"Hurry up... Juxi!"

Using my last leg and one arm, I desperately moved towards the military god, hoping that it still had at least one bullet!

"Get lost!"

Zhao Xuliang, who was seriously injured from the fall, was kicked by Vickelchi and flew onto the wall.

"Damn it, go to hell!"

"Damn it!"

A deep red droplet from Zhao Xuliang's beard fell onto the ground. He casually wiped it away with his hand and pounced on Vickelchi, who was loading the shotgun, and tackled him to the ground.

"Juxi, quick! Pfft..."

"You crazy dog, go and quietly await death over there!"

Zhao Xuliang crazily bit Vickelchi's arm and refused to let go no matter how hard Vickelchi tried to stomp on him.

"Just a little more!"

I touched it, it was hard but not soft, and... the heavy substantiality was unique to the military god.

"I got it!" I excitedly opened the military god - and found three bullets!

"Let go!"

Bang! Vickelchi shot Zhao Xuliang in the chest with the shotgun. He was instantly sent flying off the cliff by the powerful impact of the shotgun.

"Zhao Xuliang!!!"

At the moment when Vickelchi shifted his attention to me... Bang bang! I shot him in the shoulder and heel respectively with two bullets.

It's not over yet! Vickelchi struggled to hold onto the shotgun and loaded another bullet. "Hehe, let me guess... you haven't..."

Bang! This bullet accurately pierced his left eyebrow and flew out from the back of his head, landing on the plane's fan blades.

"Take... it!"

Vickelchi seemed to want to say something before he died. He desperately held up his hand, probably wanting to fulfill some unfinished wish, but unfortunately, he had no chance and would never have a chance again!

Just as he said, his money and power deprived him of everything in the end, sending him to hell.

I felt a lump in my throat. "..."

"Well, perhaps this is the best ending?" Although Uncle had become the victim of war, his wish was heard by the gods. He must be with the person who once deeply loved him by God's side now, right?

Vickelchi's original intention may have been right, but... he used the wrong method to achieve it.

"Hey!"

Yuanhui suddenly pushed me from behind, startling me.

Gritting my teeth, I reproached him, "You scared me...!"

"Hehe... well, you gave us a scare!" Unexpectedly, Yuanhui, who usually seemed carefree, also had moments of sadness.

"Hehe, then we are even!" I grabbed his shoulder and stood up, despite my broken leg. The dusk was approaching, yet the fighting showed no signs of stopping. Although Vickelchi was dead, his subordinates were still fighting desperately against the Alliance army.

"War takes away much more than it gives us. Judgment day is fast approaching... this is humanity's last chance, and I can't..." (The writing after this point becomes blurry)

That's just how the world is - it never gives us the opportunity to negotiate conditions. If we do something wrong, it will punish us. And when we do something right, it will reward us accordingly. However, when we try to destroy it, it will also destroy us in return.

"Let's part ways here. I guess I should graduate from being a sister complex now, huh?"

"Sister complex...?"

He was puzzled by what I said and then smiled, "What... were you infected by Vickelchi's mad cow disease?"

"I squinted my eyes into a narrow slit, with a mysterious smile on my face, confessing everything.

"Do you remember the first time we met in the coffee shop?"

"Yes!" Yuanhui immediately nodded without hesitation and said, "I have never forgotten..."

"I told you..." I gently patted Yuanhui's back, gesturing to put me down to catch my breath, my face pale but still forcing a smile.

"Isn't it strange that I could recognize your name on our first meeting?"

"It is strange, but now it doesn't matter. Your leg..."

"So, you noticed... hehe, uh!" I grimaced and laughed, looking towards the edge of the cliff... There was a long trail of blood on the ground!

"Actually, in our past lives, we had a sincere friendship! Do you believe it?"

"Yes, I believe it!" Yuanhui replied without hesitation.

"Cough cough," I felt my consciousness gradually becoming faint, so I waved my hand and said, "Put me down, Yuanhui... cough cough... take me back to the cliff!"

"No, I'll call a medical helicopter for you right now..."

"Hurry!"

I felt a sudden sweetness in my throat, and I spat out a mouthful of dark, murky blood. "Quick... it's too late!"

In the end, we arrived at the cliff where Walker's body lay. His hand was still tightly clenched into a fist, raised high in the air.

With Yuanhui's help, I approached Walker and released his tightly held fingers. There was an old handkerchief inside, with a handwritten letter on it.

"What is this..." Yuanhui took the paper from my hand, the writing on it was a bit faded but still discernible.

"It's an old paper, what could be written on it?"

We cautiously opened the paper, and there was a simple sentence written on it: "Eternal life, Edward desires eternal life, we must not let him succeed!"

"Human desires only expose their greatest weaknesses... and this weakness can only be rectified when a true god descends, then we can obtain true eternity!" I read out the words on the paper.

"Haha..."

"Hahahaha," Yuanhui laughed along with me, "Do you understand?"

"Yes, maybe I didn't understand before, but now..."

With a smile on my face, I slowly closed my eyes and softly hummed, "I understand completely!"

I had a dream, a very long dream, in which I saw Yuka waiting for me in front of me, but I could no longer touch her.

"I want to be with Sister forever and ever!"

Yuka couldn't hear my answer anymore, or maybe she would never hear it again?

"Juxi?"

Yuanhui gently lifted me up by the back, and although I could hear his voice, I couldn't respond to him for some reason. I felt myself rising with the flow of air, heading towards an unknown world full of endless mysteries.

"Farewell... everyone, all the consequences should end here."

Trembling, Yuanhui gently leaned me against his chest with lifeless eyes and shaking hands. This was a sincere friendship between two men, despite the heart-wrenching story with Yuka, it couldn't erase the truth of it all.

I learned a lot from everyone, how to face death calmly. No matter how many cycles, how many Yuanhui, Chiyeri, Shinobei, Yu Nai... and Yuka, I couldn't forget the present everyone.

Yuka and the others finally arrived here after clearing away the enemy troops.

"Yuanhui," Yuka smiled with a hint of pride, "I have taken care of all of Walker's commandos. What's wrong, Yuanhui?"

But Yuanhui's silence left a frozen smile on Youxiang's face.

"You were happy on the radio just now when you found Juxi, what happened to Juxi...?"

...

Watching Yuanhui sitting silently on the ground, I leaned against his chest, trying to give me as much warmth as possible. However, the feeling of this emotion has vanished.

"He...," Yuanhui tightly bit his lip, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes. "He returned to the side of God!"

What we once had were just illusions. They would disappear as we left.

There has always been a child by God's side. His presence changed the future for everyone. He made a lost young boy reestablish his pursuit and taught a pampered young miss what it means to be strong.

"I have had friends accompanying me all along my journey. I am not alone!"

Yes, leaning in everyone's embrace, I understand that even though I am sleeping, no one has left me because we are...truest of friends!

Once, and now as well!

The words from my sister, which could never reach me, shattered with my fate. But I have known about this day for a long time and prepared myself for it.

"I never intended to stay by God's side!"

I softly whispered my final words to everyone: "I made a wish to the divine at the intersection of cause and effect..."

"Did you hear that?"

Everyone seemed to hear my shout and stopped mourning. They all gathered around me.

"Juxi..."

"We will have a new encounter once again!"

In the final moment, the divine conveyed my words to everyone. That is enough!

Seeing everyone finally smile with happiness, I can also depart with peace of mind.

Yuanhui wiped away his tears with his dirty hands and rushed to the edge of the cliff, shouting at the sky, "Juxi, you must keep your promise!!"

"Yes!" Youxiang put her hands to her mouth, making a trumpet gesture, and shouted loudly, "I have always liked you. I've liked you since you were young!"

...

Always liked! My heart skipped a beat at that moment, but soon calmed down and covered my chest...I can't feel the heartbeat anymore.

(Two days later)

"You all came too?"

"How could we not come on such an important day?" Chiba said, holding onto Ninge's hand as they approached Yuanhui.

Ninge, like Chiba, was wearing a white dress today, revealing her delicate face.

"Go inside!"

Yuanhui's lips slightly curled, pointing his thumb towards the ancestral hall.

"Thank you!"

Chiba discreetly smiled in response.

"You're welcome. Youxiang, Yu Nai, and...Juxi, have been waiting for us inside for a long time."

Inside the ancestral hall, Yu Nai, Youxiang, Yuanhui, Chiba, and others stood in a row, each holding a box containing their letters.

One by one, they placed the boxes in front of the photos.

Each box represented longing and waiting. Until Youxiang handed her box, which read, "I have always been with you!"

For the first time, the real Youxiang smiled with contentment. A hint of radiance flickered on her beautiful face, and then she disappeared into the distance.

From that moment, the world entered a period of panic. Battles destroyed prosperous cities, turning once thriving planets into hell on earth.

But the destruction of war did not lead humanity to extinction. A new era began!
