Upon saying this, Malin looked at his girl: "Susu, what do you think I should do." "No matter what you decide, I’ll support you, Malin, you’re my great hero." The girl sitting beside him took his hand: "Become a god, everyone has already shown you the way, become a god, become everyone’s guardian." Malin fell into thought... No, Susu, as the Goddess of Fate, do you really not understand what the future holds if I become a god. Something felt off, Malin instinctively sensed this. Susu seemed to notice Malin didn’t answer, and she said no more words. Finally, Malin sighed: "I understand, it should be a very easy thing to accomplish, once I become a deity, sit on that throne, I can cut off the contamination of Subspace to this world, right." This time, Susu nodded. Malin smiled and nodded to this. "I see, let me calm down alone for a moment, there’s still time, let me... have one last look at this world, okay." After finishing the conversation with Malin, this girl stood up and then vanished in front of Malin. Malin placed the bag in his hand to the side, looking at the spot where Susu disappeared, and sighed after a long time. Susu changed, divinity ultimately transformed her. After all, it was only her rationality that became godly, her rationality told her it was a good choice for Malin to become a god, but her feelings were gone. They wouldn’t tell her that seemingly simple answers are never perfect choices. Malin had seen it firsthand: after becoming a deity, Subspace seemed isolated but eventually remained tenuously connected to this world. Malin saw that future... It wasn’t good. Malin did not want those brave children to face eternal catastrophe because of a choice he made on a whim. If saving this world requires someone to endure eternal pain, then let it be me. I just don’t want such suffering in the future. My predecessors, you all must feel the same way. If saving everything requires sacrifice, then sacrificing once is enough. So, there must be another path, there must be another option. Thinking of this, Malin stood up, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand into the Subspace rift, and the next second, Ails poked his head out. In the next moment, Ails let out a miserable cry, and with his head on fire, he quickly burrowed back into the rift. After a while, he emerged with holy flames burning on him. ·Sorry, I forgot I’m now immune to Positive Energy. But speaking of which, Mr. Malin, you always manage to surprise and frighten me. Do you know what this is? "How would I know, and you don’t need to educate me on anything. Do you have any way to truly sever the connection between Subspace and this world?" Saying this, Malin looked at Ails. Clearly a skeletal lich, yet from this guy’s face, Malin saw an expression of hesitation, aware that this was also forced upon the powerful lich. Malin quickly waved his hand: "I know you surely don’t know, so do you have a way to help me find out." ·Well... I can only say I’ll try my best, but I think finding a way to completely sever Subspace’s connection to this world is truly difficult. "I know, but I’ve been thinking if sacrifice is needed, then my sacrifice should suffice. I don’t want to become a deity, but I found I can’t sever Subspace from this world. Do you understand what I mean, Ails?" This time, the lich nodded. ·I understand, I’ll help you seek this answer, but I can’t guarantee it. "I know, I don’t need your guarantee, just do your best." Malin said, turning his head towards the setting sun. The sky was beginning to darken. More and more Wraiths appeared in the open area visible to Malin’s naked eye. ·Your Highness Malin, we should leave, even I can’t control such numbers at will; you must be careful. With Ails’ reminder ringing in his ears, Malin knew this lich seldom showed concern for others. However, in the next second, Malin and Ails saw the monument emitting specks of soft light. The next moment, the Wraiths seemed to be swept away by something, yet this long monument still stood firm. ·Tomb of the Oathkeeper, the most sacred place in the entire Multiverse. So this thing... really does exist. After exclaiming, Ails chose to leave. ·This is too sacred, it fills me with awe. Please allow me to leave, Mr. Malin. You’ll find your answer soon enough. Malin nodded, watching the lich depart, then sat on the steps after giving it some thought. In the distance, a huge moon was rising, and the world seemed to brighten up once more. Malin took out a bottle of alcohol given by the Dwarves, uncorked it, and took a sip, then placed it before the monument. At this time, Mana opened the portal, and what accompanied it was a flood of dog tags. "Welcome back." Malin reached out to catch Mana, watching as the rust on these dog tags gradually disappeared after they landed, and the monument’s soft light seemed to grow brighter. But as the number of dog tags increased, the smile on Malin’s face slowly disappeared, and eventually, he lowered his head. Salis jumped in front of Malin, somewhat confused as to why his master was weeping, chirping as it hopped onto Malin’s lap. "Salis, do you see this? This is the final resting place of the heroes." Of course, Salis didn’t understand, and his master didn’t mind whether it understood or not. Only another sigh and a sip of alcohol from his master, followed by words it couldn’t comprehend. "For the willingness to sacrifice, such noble ambitions dare to remake the heavens and earth."
