All the shackles of all living things are weighed down on your legs, and you walk a long way with these shackles and bleeding.
You have to endure the sequelae of soul aging while making the most decisive and accurate war decisions.
The pain that had accumulated for a long time finally turned into one sentence:
"——Please follow me and live."
Indestructible, like declaring war on fate.
You repeated this cry, your face flushed and your skin turned red from the continued call.
"——Please follow me and live!"
But it didn't last long.
They become tombstones before you.
…
[Sometimes, I want to die in battle.]
[But people's eyes told me - no, you don't have the right to die. They would even use their lives to build a strong wall for me, and use their actions to cut off the possibility of my death.]
【Their expectations turned into a deep curse.】
[I fought desperately, but all I got was a broken me. But if I don't fight, even the broken me will be gone.]
…
261st day of the war.
You gradually become a machine.
Sometimes, you don't even notice the tears rolling down your cheeks. You often feel sad and angry, but you don't know what you are sad about. It seems that it is just a physiological reaction composed of hormones, not something called emotions in your brain. There is a voice in your mind that keeps bursting out with grief.
【again. 】
【again. 】
【again……】
Lin Guang always sits next to you and accompanies you in the simulation.
After a simulation, you gasp for breath and almost pass out.
"Can you think for yourself... just once? You have become the scale itself, with the world on one end and you on the other. Among a hundred or a thousand measurements, will you once tip the scale in your direction?" Lin Guang looked at you:
"You always... wrong yourself, ignore yourself, hurt yourself, and sacrifice yourself..."
But you just smiled and didn't agree to his request.
"Don't try to convince me, this is the one thousand and second simulation. I succeeded," you told him.
Lin Guang was slightly startled.
He didn't think you would succeed.
But you really did it.
Just like a slow motion, you see the excitement in Lin Guang's eyes, and see your companions rushing towards you happily. You see... the perfect [two-dimensional] data has been collected by you, just waiting for you to officially bring all humans in.
Just waiting for you... to pour your life into it.
You finally built the most perfect [two-dimensional] initial world - you named it "Kaiusta".
…
"In the Age of Cataclysm, it represents a legend."
You whispered:
"——According to legend, there is a bird named Caius, which rises at dusk and falls at dawn. It hovers above the sky, always accompanying the first rays of dawn.
"——According to legend, it will never die, will never touch the ground, and will always fly in the air. It is the embodiment of hope.
"I hope... this bird of hope and peace can bring the sunrise to mankind."
As you gradually detach yourself from the dawn system, you finally feel the quietness.
The sun rises on the horizon.
…
"The pioneers never die, and the dawn lives forever."
…
You looked at the rising sun in the distance and smiled gently.
"I want to do everything in my power to bring you a future."
…
…
"The smile has long since disappeared from my face, my tone has become cold, and even the piano cannot bring back the softness in my nature."
"How long has it been since I hugged someone or touched someone's hand? I have no idea what a temperature of 36.7 degrees is like. I have already become someone I cannot even imagine."
“So, I have always hated deifying a person. This is equivalent to depriving a person of his or her sensibility, depriving him or her of his or her soft outer shell, depriving him or her of the ability to socialize and love, and placing this person high on a cold throne, alienating him or her into a steel symbol surrounded by flowers.”
"I am proud to be a human being. In my eyes, gods are a repugnant race."
"But this broken world needs God."
"But everyone needs me to become God."
…
You look at the red Dawn system in front of you with gentle eyes. It takes your life to activate it.
You smiled lightly and slowly, but the smile was like a sigh from nowhere, with swollen and trembling emotions swelling.
"So, I am Asa Akto."
"—I degrade myself to a god."
White birds circle around you.
Like a grand sacrifice.
