When the full moon leapt from the distant horizon, Malin witnessed the most magnificent Milky Way he had ever seen in his life. The Sequence belonging to the Star Observer lit up once again after a long silence, and Malin returned to that flat Starry Sea. Just as the ladder of the old Agent began to light up, Malin saw the line continue to ascend, and in an instant, the Sequence of the scholars of the old era was illuminated, emitting a new beam of light. Malin watched the beam rise all the way up, almost without any delay, breaking through the second ladder, which should have been the Sequence of the Ancient Book Collector, but at this moment, a new Sequence appeared there — the Witness. A Sequence whose origin was unknown stood there, and then new beams continued to rise, until Malin watched as the Sequence of the Star Observer was lit. Star Observer... How did I light up this Sequence? With doubt, Malin noticed the mechanized version of himself appear before him. "It’s been a long time since we last met, yet it feels as if we just met today. Another timeline’s version of me, you’ve already reached this point." The mechanized Heartless Melo looked at Malin with a mechanical smile. "Yes, I’ve reached this point, too. I want to isolate our world from the Subspace." Malin said — with Melo present, there was no worry of their conversation being overheard by outsiders. "Sounds nice, another self of mine, do you know what the meaning of the world is?" But the Heartless’s question left Malin silent. After some thought, Malin suddenly realized the problem — indeed, usually, the world refers to the world beneath human feet, as humans are bound by gravity to the point of forgetting that the world beneath them is but a tiny part of the true world. "The true world refers to... the universe we’re in?" Malin looked up at Melo, who nodded: "Yes, it seems your soul is no longer bound by gravity. Let me tell you, if you want to sever the link between your world and Subspace, you need to become a great being like the Nameless. At least, someone like me can’t do it." "Why can’t you do it? I’ve heard the Nameless mention you. He said you could chase and fight against Chaos." Malin was puzzled. "The world does not recognize me because I am merely a vengeful evil spirit." Melo’s frank answer left Malin stunned. "The world doesn’t recognize you?" Malin’s question made Melo nod: "Earth’s will has awakened, you know that, right." Malin nodded in agreement with this statement. "In my world, she awakened too, but ultimately she was distorted. I don’t know why she did not recognize my vengeance, but I think if you want these planet consciousnesses, like deities, to recognize you, you must maintain the essence of a natural person. I combined with machinery early on, and am more like a monster. Maybe that’s why my will doesn’t recognize me, but she didn’t destroy herself for that. Until Clovis died, she was willing to perish under my Purification rather than further harm the planet that nurtured her." At this point, Melo looked at Malin: "If you really want to be a Savior, you should at least understand how vast the world you speak of is. Like your Sequence, I think when you climb to the pinnacle, you will understand." "I understand." With that, Malin opened his hand, and under Melo’s bewilderment, Malin summoned Mana. When the planet’s consciousness awakened in Malin’s hand, Melo’s electronic voice was filled with admiration for the first time: "It seems you should be the true Savior of your world. I praise you for the beings of your planet; they should be grateful to you, Malin." "Mana, can you help me ignite the pinnacle of my Sequence?" Malin nodded to Melo and then asked the newly awakened Mana. "I can, but... do you think all this is worth it?" Mana stood up, looking at Malin, her face full of curiosity: "You haven’t reached the point of desperation yet, Malin." "Don’t listen to her nonsense, we’re facing the abyss, and every step is a hell from which there’s no return." Melo shouted loudly. "If becoming the pinnacle is necessary for me to save this world, then I am willing." Malin nodded firmly. "As you wish, Malin. And don’t be a fool , becoming mechanical and losing one’s mind is only a matter of time. One day, he will become a disaster." Mana said, then flew to Malin and tapped his forehead, and then she fled — understandably, this place was nothing but barren wilderness. If not for the sake of advancement, Malin wouldn’t have come here either. "Melo, don’t worry." Malin comforted Melo, noticing the slowly rising light on the Star Observer ladder. But this time, Melo sighed: "He was not wrong." "Melo." Malin was at a loss for how to comfort him, after all, even he admitted Mana was not wrong. "I know, becoming foolish, losing humanity, one day, I will become the kind of monster she spoke of, having lost everything, desiring only to destroy everything. Disaster will be my name, my world... will eventually be destroyed by Chaos, destroyed by the newly born Evil God, which is essentially, by my hand." With that, Melo looked at Malin: "Malin, I have a request." "What?" Malin was curious, as he doubted anything he could offer would be of help to him.
