Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

The young knight's face still bore the weariness of battle, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.

"Hey, you guys..." Nero looked at the three of them, seemingly wanting to say something to express his gratitude, but his proud and aloof personality made him unable to speak.

"You're welcome, kid."

Dante waved his hand. "If you really want to express your gratitude, how about buying me a pizza?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and took out the broken katana—[Enma Blade]—from his storage space.

"Although I really wanted to take it with me as a trophy, unfortunately..."

Zhang Yuan stroked the scabbard, his tone tinged with regret.

"This sword has a fastidious 'master' mentality. In the hands of someone without Spartan blood, it's just a sharp piece of scrap metal; but in the hands of some..." He looked at Nero.

"...It is the key to reality."

Zhang Yuan tossed the Yamato sword to Dante.

Dante took the Yamato, looking at this heirloom that belonged to his brother, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

Then, he turned around and solemnly handed the Yamato to Nero.

"Here you go, kid."

Dante grinned.

"Although this originally belonged to my brother, it seems... he might prefer you a little more now."

"You mean..." Nero caught the Yamato, his face filled with shock, "This sword belongs to your brother? Then you don't mean..."

"Shh." Dante held up a finger. "Some things are more interesting for you to discover on your own. After all, life needs a little surprise, doesn't it?"

Nero looked at the Yamato sword in his hand, then at Dante's slightly weathered yet still handsome face, seemingly understanding something, yet also seemingly understanding nothing at all.

But he ultimately gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.

"Thanks... old man."

"Alright, that concludes the emotional segment."

Bayonetta put away the gemstone and walked up to Zhang Yuan.

She took off her signature glasses, revealing a captivating smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

"Although you're a charlatan, I have to admit, working with you... has been very pleasant."

She pulled a purple lollipop from her pocket, wiped it on her lips, and then stuffed it into Zhang Yuan's trench coat pocket.

"This is a tip for you, little priest. If there's ever another good opportunity like this where you can fight and get jewels at the same time... remember to call me."

[Received a gift: Bayonetta's Magic Lollipop.]

[Quality: Rare (Purple Grade C)]

Category: Consumables

[Detailed Effects]: After use, skill cooldown recovery speed is increased by 500% for a short period of time, and mana consumption is reduced to zero.

[Note]: A little encouragement from that elegant witch.

"It would be my pleasure." Zhang Yuan bowed politely.

"I don't have much to give as a gift."

Dante reached into his pocket, pulled out a wildly styled motorcycle key, and tossed it to Zhang Yuan.

"This bike is a prize I won a few years ago, and it's been sitting in the office collecting dust. I'm giving it to you. You might not be used to riding it, but it'll still be worth a few bucks if you sell it for scrap."

[Received as a gift: Magical Motorcycle Cavaliere (Copy).]

[Quality: Rare (Dark Purple, C+ Grade)]

[Category: Weapons/Vehicles]

[Detailed Effects]: This magical artifact exists in two forms, and can be summoned, recalled, or its form can be triggered to change within a certain range through mental focus.

Vehicle form [Ghost Rider]:

The vehicle has a maximum land speed of 280 km/h, unimaginable grip and cornering performance, and can consume mana to provide extra power to the vehicle, briefly gaining explosive acceleration, vertical wall driving, and even low-altitude gliding ability.

Weapon form [Thunder Twin Saws]:

When infused with magic, the motorcycle can instantly disintegrate and reassemble into two massive, rotating chainsaws crackling with electricity and magical energy. When swung, they can inflict wide-area, high-frequency mixed physical and lightning damage, with a special effect against heavy armor and biological carapaces.

[Note]: Although not the original version, it still possesses the ability to transform into the lightning twin saws. Requires exceptional driving skills.

Zhang Yuan caught the key, overjoyed.

This isn't just selling scrap metal, this is practically divine equipment!

Regardless of whether the Thunder Twin Saw form's output capability can surpass that of [Redeemer] or [Holy Hammer], the vehicle form of [Ghost Rider] alone is enough to make Zhang Yuan incredibly excited.

After all, what man could resist a cool-looking motorcycle that can transform?

"that……"

Just as Zhang Yuan was about to leave, Nero suddenly called out to him somewhat awkwardly.

"Although you've always been a bit eccentric and like to spout nonsense that no one can understand, you did save Credo and Kyrie, and you've helped me a lot too."

Nero pulled an oil-covered metal cylinder from his pouch and roughly shoved it into Zhang Yuan's hand.

"Here you go. This is a 'combustion injector' that I originally intended to make as a spare for Scarlet Queen."

Nero scratched his head, his eyes darting around.

"I think your shotgun, while powerful, lacks explosive power. Attaching this should make it... a little more powerful."

[Received as a gift: Nero's Custom-Made Jet Valve (Exceed System - Modified).]

[Effect: Rare modification accessory. Can be installed on firearms, granting them three "Exceed" charges. Upon full charge, the next attack's power is greatly increased, and it inflicts a fiery explosion damage.]

"Oh……"

Zhang Yuan held the still-warm metal valve, looked at the awkward young man in front of him, and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"A nice gift, I really like it. It will make my 'preaching' more persuasive."

At this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and a beam of light from the void slowly descended upon Zhang Yuan.

That was the train's guiding beam.

"Looks like my shuttle bus has arrived."

Zhang Yuan straightened his platinum trench coat and took one last look at Nero.

Nero.

"What are you doing?" Nero instinctively shielded Kirie.

Zhang Yuan pushed up his glasses, revealing the enigmatic smile that Nero had found so memorable.

"Remember, the right hand is not only for destruction, but also for protection."

"besides……"

Zhang Yuan's figure began to fade in the beam of light.

"If you ever find that this hand isn't enough, remember to come to my hometown—a place called 'Train'. There... there are better prosthetics (mechanical arms) waiting for you."

"Huh? What did you say?" Nero was completely confused.

Goodbye, everyone.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and disappeared completely into the light.

"May the Holy Light... deceive you."

……

This train journey has ended.
