I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

[Using a principle similar to hemodialysis, the power within Rin's body is guided out, sorted, and separated, and then stabilized using your "song," becoming an alternative "core."]

[However, for Rin, this process would be like scraping her entire body, extremely painful... Moreover, based on initial attempts, anesthesia doesn't seem to be very effective, and may even trigger a resistance from her internal forces, leading to drug resistance.]

Finally... with Rin's consent, Möbius continued the surgery and successfully extracted 90% of the power from Rin's body... the remaining 10% remained in her brain, and Möbius could not and dared not move it.

[Simply stripping away 90% of her power put Rin's life in grave danger, and her breath grew increasingly weak... Möbius had no choice but to stop the surgery and have Sakura take Rin to "Utopia" to prolong her life.]

Although a small portion of Rin's power remains, most of it has been drained, rendering Rin's threat level negligible... Moreover, even if someone wanted to harm Rin, they wouldn't be able to.

Because at this moment, Sakura is right beside Rin, and Sakura... will protect Rin.

Furthermore, in the "ideal world," you even created a special area for Sakura and Rin... or rather, a "picture within a picture," to keep them in a safer place and prevent any mentally unstable people from bothering them.

Then, perhaps because they had survived the ordeal of becoming the "Eleventh Herrscher," good news kept coming—the repair of the "Fourth Divine Key" was gradually completed, the "Golden Garden" renovation was finished, and the "Eden Project" could begin.

After successfully resolving Rin's problem and with other plans progressing steadily, Mei and the others began preparing to deal with your issue, or rather, preparing to "punish" you.

This isn't a problem, since it was agreed upon long ago.

The "Moon Throne" to counter your power has been successfully built and is already on its designated orbit.

And Kevin is also preparing to "punish" you... This is what he promised you.

【………】

【very good】

Everything is ready, so...

Please allow me to take the stage.

[For you all, for you... this is the end.]

"Sister Eden...are you leaving?"

Greta gently took Eden's hand and asked sweetly.

"Yes, 'Eden' has been successfully completed, and I have left behind what I was meant to leave behind... Now, it's time for me to go to his side."

“Eden…please, give this…to him.”

With a slightly apologetic look in her eyes, Sakura gently placed a "magic charm" into Eden's hand.

"I'm sorry, I... can't go to him."

"Yes, I know, and he knows too. You still have Rin to take care of... His wish is for you and Rin to survive."

Eden smiled and accepted it, gently comforting Sakura.

"Ha... In the end, it seems you're the only one who's truly suited to be by his side..."

Sakura's smile was bitter.

"Don't say that. He likes you a lot too, which is why he's willing to do so much for you."

"Yes, I know, so... I will live well with Rin. This is his wish, and it is mine."

Sakura forced a smile and said softly.

"Well then... goodbye, Eden."

"See you."

"Goodbye, Sister Eden..."

Gretchen gently took Sakura's hand, bidding farewell to Eden as she led Sakura toward the "ideal land"... Gretchen still had things to do.

As the owner and builder of the "ideal land," or the "world in the painting," she must remain inside to expand the space of the "ideal land."

Gretchen, or rather Gretchen and her family, are the implementers of the "Utopia Project." She doesn't have much free time to do anything else; she needs to paint more pictures to fully expand the "world in the painting," so that the "Utopia" can accommodate more people and, in the final, desperate situation, can save more people.

"Alright, my good investor, have you really decided to do all this?"

A flippant voice came from the side.

"nature."

Eden's voice was full of determination.

“I will go to his side... We made a promise back then that I could have him stay with me forever.”

"And... as the most dazzling 'twin stars' of this era, even in our final moments, we must be together."

Eden smiled, a smile that was both happy and open... She knew all too well what the outcome would be if she went to Xiwang's side at this time, but she was willing to accept it.

"Ha...you guys are truly amazing."

Vervi sighed, then laughed.

"Then, my dear client! A world-famous superstar! Please come!"

Under Wilvi's somewhat flamboyant actions and words, Eden boarded the spacecraft she had commissioned Wilvi to build, and slowly ascended into the sky according to the pre-set program.

As he watched the outside world gradually be enveloped by the darkness of the universe, Eden's lips curled into a smile, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Xiwang... I'm here.

"Even the partner of a blood relative... can no longer sense it..."

Located in the sea, Skadi murmured softly.

wow-

"Don't say that, Mother. She just went to find her blood relatives... She just went to be with her blood relatives."

Skadi slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

"At this moment, she... um?"

Suddenly, Skadi frowned in confusion.

An unusual dampness filled the air—it was going to rain.

"[Mother]?! Didn't I tell you? No way! Even blood relatives wouldn't agree!"

wow-

"Not...you?"

Skadi was somewhat taken aback.

"Who could that be?"

tick-

Just as she was asking the question, the rain... quietly began to fall.

…………

"It's raining? What's going on?"

Mei frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Maybe the mice just couldn't hold on?"

Mebius said casually.

"...Check the communications."

"Ok."

Mei turned to the operator and said.

After a while...

"Dr. Mei... seems to have lost contact with Xi Wang."

"……what happened?"

"I'm not sure. The call logs show as normal, but I just can't get through..."

"...Check the other data."

"...Everything is normal."

The operator carefully reviewed the data displayed on the screen, then nodded, indicating that everything was in order.

"Everything...is normal?"

Mei muttered to herself... She felt that something was off.

"Dr. May!"

Just then, an anxious voice burst in.

"The extracted [Twelfth Herrscher Core] has been stolen! And the guards have all been killed!"

"...What is the situation at the scene? Are there any signs of a struggle?"

Mei paused, then quickly asked.

"No, and based on the current situation..."

The visitor swallowed hard, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

"The guards... all seem to have committed suicide."

"suicide?"

"And...and more! The facility storing the [core] wasn't damaged! The alarm didn't go off! It must have been taken directly!"

"As expected... it's someone from inside the base, and... a high-ranking one at that...?"

Mei considered the possible personnel in her mind, and then quickly asked the operator.

"Can you find the relevant records?"

"Hmm, okay, but... uh..."

"what happened?"

"Only one person's record is left above, and I think it must have been left there intentionally by the other party."

Damn it... they can already use the power of the [Twelfth Herrscher Core]? We only recently discovered that...
