"What's wrong? Can't my little princess even finish this game?"
"No way! I promise, I'll definitely get Dad here in just a few days!"
"My little princess is really amazing..."
"Dad, let's swear an oath!"
"good……"
"Dad swears..."
On official live-streaming screens across the country, a video of the Russian Commander-in-Chief speaking with his daughter is being played.
The screen showed the Russian Commander-in-Chief facing the Five Calamities and core members of the Light God Society alone.
Many viewers watching the live broadcast were moved to tears by this touching scene.
Many people watched the live stream in silence.
But the vast majority of people admire this hero who sacrificed himself for his family and for humanity.
The live stream continued, showcasing the descent of the [Thunder], Hera's heroic efforts to save the day, the final gathering of the [Four Seasons], and the appearance of the [Sky].
Because the footage was captured by an ultra-high-definition camera several kilometers away, the image is exceptionally blurry.
However, people could still feel the terrifying pressure and power of the Five Calamities, which were like those of gods, through the blurry live broadcast.
For the first time in nearly a century, humanity, which had been protected, realized the precipitous gap between itself and other species.
'So the Night Stars have been fighting against such creatures all along…'
These words resonated in the minds of many people, who seemed to realize just how ridiculous their previous actions had been.
Did you guys see that live stream? Wow, I can't believe that anything on Earth could do that!
Suddenly, I realized that the average number of people dying from other diseases each year, only around 100,000, seems like such a small number.
I always thought that humanity's ultimate fighting power was the ultimate fighting power of the entire world, but I never imagined that just one of the Five Calamities was stronger than them. How exactly did they manage to fight against them with their alien species...?
I burned the banner of resistance against the Night Stars in my house. If it weren't for them, I might already be in hell.
I heard it's because the Night Star Clan's leadership has changed.
[...]
Wang Canxin sat in a chair in the Night Star International Conference Hall, watching the changing public opinion online, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Commander Wang, it's really a pity that no one completed the mission this time."
The sound of "[Satellite]" echoed in the conference hall.
But Wang Canxin shook his head, "No, this mission was completed perfectly."
The smiling face that appeared in the hall suddenly turned into a question mark.
Why?
Wang Canxin leaned back in his chair, his finger swiping across his phone screen.
"Stopping the Five Calamities was just a facade from the beginning. My real purpose was to win the hearts of the people and gain the recognition of other Nightwalkers."
"Although we failed in this mission, the fact that we were able to push the Five Calamities and the core members of the Light God Society to the brink of defeat by losing only one 'Starshine' combatant has greatly demonstrated my leadership to the world."
"In this way, I can truly become the sole leader of the Night Stars."
[Satellite] pondered, "I see. Commander Wang, you really are heartless."
Wang Canxin smiled faintly and put down his phone.
"By the way, now shut down the alarm system here and the tomb keeper's system. Also, make sure that everyone here except me can't contact the outside world."
"Yes, Commander Wang."
Without asking any further questions, the satellite used its authority to shut down the entire base's alarm system and all external communication functions.
After doing all this, Wang Canxin leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After an unknown amount of time, the satellite's voice echoed, "Commander Wang, what are you doing? Please take immediate action."
Upon hearing this, Wang Canxin's eyes flickered, and finally he let out a heavy sigh.
"Can I not go...?"
"Can't."
[Satellite] A firm and unequivocal refusal.
"Commander Wang, please carry out your mission immediately and do not stop."
"This—is for humanity."
The green smiley face emoji floating in the center of the hall stared intently at Wang Canxin.
"Commander Wang, stop throwing tantrums. You are carrying the future of humanity."
Wang Canxin took a deep breath, struggled to sit up from the chair, and his expression returned to calm.
"knew."
...
On the cold streets, fine snowflakes kept falling from the sky, melting into water droplets on the ground.
The cold temperature, combined with the dim sky, made the already deserted streets seem lifeless.
Only two men and one woman were walking slowly down this lifeless street.
"ha……"
The girl, whose eyes were covered by her bangs, exhaled a puff of white breath onto her hands, which were red from the cold, to warm them up.
Lin Wushuang walked at the very back, her hands tucked into a hand warmer, and complained helplessly.
"Where are we now? Are we far enough away?"
Upon hearing this, Aikaren, who was walking at the front, took out a map, confirmed their location, and then turned around and stammered.
"After leaving this village, it's just another ten minutes or so..."
Lin Wushuang sighed heavily.
They are now traveling on foot because the God of Light will discover the location of the Tree of Terra, which is surrounded by villages and towns of all sizes.
The noise of Chi Jiu flying was too conspicuous. If some villagers discovered it and reported it, the Light God Society's actions would become difficult.
Lin Wushuang will experience a period of weakness after teleporting over long distances, which is equivalent to a cooldown period during which he cannot use his abilities.
Although it's not very long, if they're unlucky and happen to teleport into the group of tomb guardians, that brief period of weakness could kill Lin Wushuang.
Therefore, the three of them could only walk to the distance where Lin Wushuang could teleport to without being weakened.
"Hey, let's have a chat, you two are like mutes, I've been talking the whole way here, my mouth is almost dry."
Lin Wushuang looked at the couple in front of her who hadn't made a sound the whole way and couldn't help but complain.
Aikalen trembled slightly, turned around and glanced at Lin Wushuang, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Um, I'm sorry..."
"...You're making me completely lose the desire to chat."
Lin Wushuang sighed, "Alright, let's introduce our abilities to each other, so that we'll all have a better understanding of them."
Before the two could answer, Lin Wushuang introduced herself.
"Lin Wushuang [Symbiotic], symbiotic partner [Sea Illusion Grass], is the only marine mutant that humans discovered before, of course, it is definitely not now."
"The ability is vortex distortion; distorting space is the strongest use of this ability."
"Another ability is that it can unleash a powerful blue light."
"You all know about the realm, 'Star Radiance'."
"Alright, that's all, it's your turn."
