Blood-red twilight at Jepella Palace.
"Stellaron Hunter Kafka."
"Do you plead guilty?"
The four Judges of Jepella, also known as the highest arbiters of justice on Jepella Planet, stood tall atop the Judge's bench, overlooking Kafka from above.
Kafka smiled serenely, meeting their gaze and awaiting their verdict.
"The crimes you have committed are unforgivable.
"But the Jepella Brotherhood respects each person's right to ascend to heaven.
"Plead guilty and accept punishment, for the Annihilation Gang grants you redemption."
Kafka's beautiful eyes remained composed. "Yes, I'm listening," she replied.
Judge Lu's expression was stern. "Then, regarding you and the other members of the Stellaron Hunters—"
"Do you admit responsibility for the following crimes?"
"You infiltrated the Atuin Universal Auction and manipulated its attendees."
"Destroyed artworks under the Heartfelt Observer's patronage, causing losses totaling over 860 billion Credits."
"And stole the auction item [Stellaron], do you plead guilty?"
Kafka calmly replied, "I admit it, but the Heartfelt Observer was far from devout."
Judge Lu's voice deepened. "You broke into the electronic Holy Prison Innu-Pis, stealing the Sigma Scepter to disable the firewall protecting the enchanted seals."
"This allowed numerous data demons to flood into reality, accelerating the onset of Judgment Day in that world."
"To facilitate your theft of the [Primal Code (Stellaron)], do you plead guilty?"
"I admit it," said Kafka, "but the data demons deserved their freedom."
Judge Lu continued, "You invaded the ring world Golconda, spreading the Paradox Virus across all colonies."
"As a result, forty-six million inorganic lives became uncontrollable machines."
"And you took away the [Steel Core] at Golconda's gravitational equilibrium point, silencing the entire world. Do you plead guilty?"
Kafka chuckled lightly, "Oh? Wasn't this not Jepella Brotherhood's doing?"
"But indeed, we did take that object," Kafka acknowledged with a slight curl of his lips.
Judge Lu continued, "And the Trovis Star System disappearance case."
"The Lor-51 Stellaron incident, the cyber attacks targeting Screw Star."
"The Piel Point invasion case, the Lady Herta puppet disappearance case, and so on—totaling 47 criminal offenses!"
"Do you admit that all these malicious incidents were perpetrated by the Stellaron Hunters?"
Kafka responded, "As far as I know, many of these events have ties to the Annihilation Gang... However, yes, I acknowledge them."
"However, it seems like you missed one—the Jepella Destruction Case."
The mind-controlling spider silk quietly snapped.
Instantly, clarity returned to the eyes of the four Arbiters seated on the Judge's bench, accompanied by an indescribable surge of panic within their hearts.
Meanwhile, amidst the vast expanse of the cosmic starry sky, Silver Wolf gently pressed the activation button.
Su Jinyan's projection appeared on every resident's quantum communication device, street advertisement screens, and even within Jepella Palace itself.
Who is he?
Our devices have been hacked?
Unease and apprehension swept through Jepella Planet like a viral epidemic.
With a composed expression and steady voice, Su Jinyan cordially greeted every xenogenic on Jepella Planet.
"Let's be candid—Jepella Brotherhood Arbiters."
"You are a group of fanatics wandering through the universe, claiming to be devoted servants of 'Destruction'."
"However, your actions and beliefs are not pure. You revel in burning and plundering, with chaotic desires and selfish motives taking precedence."
"Some among you find joy in slaughter, others use pillaging as a guise for their vengeful intentions, and there are those who attempt to quell their inner madness through relentless destruction."
"Perhaps some of you may not recognize me, but that is inconsequential."
"Our mission represents the will of the Xianzhou Alliance, imposing judgment upon you, these inferior beasts."
Topaz's eyes flickered slightly, seemingly wanting to say something.
Yet after a moment of hesitation, he chose not to speak up.
Su Jinyan gently nodded. "Of course, alongside the Interastral Peace Corporation."
The four Arbiters in Jepella Palace trembled with fear.
News of the Xianzhou Alliance declaring war on the Annihilation Gang had already reached them long ago.
However, no one anticipated that the Xianzhou Alliance would act so swiftly, their efficiency unexpectedly rapid.
Ironically, the first blow landed squarely on the Jepella Brotherhood.
"W-What do you intend to do?"
"Let's discuss matters; there might be a way forward."
"Spare our lives, we'll comply with anything."
"The Jepella Brotherhood is willing to submit to the Xianzhou Alliance."
The Arbiters' initial boldness evaporated, leaving them utterly devoid of arrogance. They were well aware that before the Xianzhou Alliance, the Jepella Brotherhood had no chance of resistance.
Every word spoken by the Arbiters was simultaneously broadcasted to the interstellar live stream and every corner of Jepella Planet.
Su Jinyan shook his head slightly. "I want to play a game with you."
"Your victory or defeat in this game will determine Jepella's fate. I hope you take it seriously."
A game? The Arbiters swallowed nervously, finding the idea both absurd and laughable. However, Su Jinyan's words represented the Xianzhou Alliance, and none dared to defy its will.
Kafka softly spoke up, "Listen closely: the game is about to begin, and the losers will face their punishment, oh~"
Unanimously, the four Arbiters fell under the influence of word magic's control.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves bound by iron chains and suspended high in the air.
Facing each other in pairs, all wore breathing masks, with restraining devices tightly clamped around their chests.
Su Jinyan's deep voice resonated once more. "You're awake now."
"The game revolves around a simple element—oxygen."
"Once the game begins, every breath you take will tighten the chest device until it crushes your body."
"The only way to survive is by making your opponent fail, which will then unlock your own shackle."
"And this leads to the question I wish to pose."
"You four Arbiters are as close as brothers, but when truly confronted with death, who among you will be the one to survive?"
Fear flickered in the eyes of the four Arbiters as they desperately struggled. Alas, none could break free from the chains' grip.
As the mechanical apparatus activated, the game officially commenced, swiftly depleting the oxygen.
Tiger Judge and Judge Lu were separated on one side, while Sheep Judge and Ox Judge were positioned on the other.
Soon, unable to endure the oxygen-deprived environment, Tiger Judge couldn't hold his breath any longer and forcefully drew in a sweet gulp of air.
Immediately, the mechanical device around his chest tightened, compressing both Tiger Judge and Judge Lu's abdomens. The two Judges involuntarily cried out in pain.
This is unfair! They are herbivores, while I am a carnivore.
Tiger Judge roared angrily, further depleting his oxygen reserves and forcing him to breathe again.
With a crunch, the mechanical device constricted once more, digging deeper into Tiger Judge and Judge Lu's stomachs.
Judge Lu's eyes reddened from agony, wishing he could immediately dispose of this incompetent teammate.
Across from them, the other two Judges managed to persist only a few seconds longer before succumbing to the need for oxygen as well. Their devices promptly tightened, subjecting them to the relentless crushing force of the machinery.
In the end, Sheep Judge and Ox Judge, bound by chains opposite them, narrowly won the game with their slight endurance advantage.
If not for Tiger Judge's foolishness, Judge Lu might have had a chance to survive.
The shackles binding the two Judges automatically released.
Thud—
Both Arbiters fell to the ground one after another.
"Can we be released now?" Sheep Judge weakly asked. "Honored Emissary, we have already won the game."
Ox Judge, enduring his pain, pleaded with Su Jinyan for their lives, "Respected Sir, we emerged victorious as per your request."
Su Jinyan spread his arms wide, a wild grin spreading across his lips. "It is time for the Xianzhou Alliance's renown to resound throughout the universe."
"We say, 'Let there be light,' and thus these inferior beasts shall behold it."
Suddenly, the inhabitants of Jepella Planet felt an ominous foreboding.
The Doomsday Beast unfurled its wings, vast enough to eclipse the sky, emitting a deafening roar that echoed across the horizon.
How could this be? That unmistakably is... the Doomsday Beast?!
As the Antimatter Legion's star-destroying weapon, how did the Doomsday Beast fall into the hands of the Alliance's emissary? Could there be some mistake?
Could it be that from the very beginning, he deceived us? Is this so-called "Emissary of the Alliance" actually Lord Ravager, who revels in planetary destruction?
Fear spread among all the xenogenics, their will to survive taking precedence.
Trembling with dread, they sobbed uncontrollably, falling to their knees and desperately pleading for Lord Ravager's forgiveness.
Facing imminent death, they would not hesitate to grasp at any straw that might save them.
Some confessed their sins to Emperor's Bow Bill of Life and Death, others prayed to Aeon of Destruction Nanook, while some begged Abundant Yaoshi to rescue them from calamity.
Even more extreme were those praying to Aeon of Joy Aha, hoping he would intervene and spare their lives.
Yet they had entirely forgotten their own past actions of burning, killing, and plundering, heedless of others' pleas for mercy as they indulged their ugly desires.
A massive neutron radiation plume swept across half the surface of Jepella Planet.
Nearly five billion organic lives were annihilated without even a chance to scream, disintegrating under the lethal beam's onslaught.
At that precise moment, the vast will of destruction finally descended upon them.
Su Jinyan trembled with excitement, "Lord Nanook, I've been waiting for you at last."
Startled, Topaz hastily covered Su Jinyan's mouth, "Hey, what are you saying?"
How dare he commit such a grave political faux pas?
Isn't Lord Nanook known as the "Ruin Author" on your Xianzhou?
Topaz genuinely couldn't comprehend what Su Jinyan was thinking.
And why are you so thrilled about Nanook's arrival? Someone might mistake you for one of his fervent devotees.
[Hua: ?]
[Posting Under Real Name: What the f*ck is this 'Lord Nanook'? Not Ruin Author, not Ruin Author?!]
[Unfeeling Divination Machine: The apostate got too excited; momentarily slipping up is quite normal.]
[Fake Dongs Traveling Merchant: More importantly, I wonder how he'll handle this situation this time?]
[Playing with Fate: No need to say more, let's just wait and see Lord Nanook getting 'pregnant'!]
[Little Fox's Benefactor: May your return be triumphant, dear Benefactor. This humble maiden has prepared a feast for your welcome.]
[Grew Up Feeding Nanook: The most anticipated episode.]
[Diting Viewer + Howler: Click me for Diting videos? Cute recordings? High quality at low prices?]
If civilization is a stealthily emerging cancer amidst the vast expanse of stars, conflict becomes the only universal language among intelligent beings.
To correct such errors and erase the universe's stains, Nanook embodies entropy.
In worlds swept by the tumultuous surge of the legion, there always arises, on the brink of peril, a helpless question: Why?
Facing the despairing cries of lambs, countless lesser demons erupt with laughter that makes the stars tremble.
Amidst the chaotic dance of evil, the silhouette of the God of Destruction materializes within the starlit sky, bearing witness to yet another world's tragic end.
Now, sensing faintly that another world is about to be destroyed by His Antimatter Legion, Nanook naturally appears to take a glimpse.
Nanook's colossal form blotted out the heavens, bearing a massive gash across its torso from which golden blood flowed steadily.
With just this glance, Nanook took in the entirety of Jepella Planet's situation.
Ah, it seems that Su Jinyan has usurped His Doomsday Beast, intending to destroy a planet devoted to Him.
Nanook did not care about the Doomsday Beast being usurped by Su Jinyan.
His sole desire was to bring about Su Jinyan's destruction.
By ensuring Su Jinyan perishes first, He could prevent "Destruction" from forcibly giving birth to new life.
Instantly, a scorching wave surged through the air, unleashing extreme agony upon Su Jinyan.
F*ck! Can't handle competition? Resorting to sneak attacks now?
Su Jinyan never expected Nanook to act with such decisiveness.
He recognized this as the harbinger of his impending doom.
The power of an Aeon transcends natural laws; even with the Blessing of Yaoshi, there seemed no way to save him.
Indeed, Yaoshi's blessing alone might not suffice, but what if Yaoshi Himself intervened?
With unwavering resolve, Su Jinyan activated the ability "Beware of Fire, Theft, and Betrayal," sending a distress signal directly to Yaoshi.
In legends, this Aeon never refused prayers, unable to bear witness to decay and suffering.
A figure with six arms gracefully extended, displaying a magnificent form as if dancing amidst the cosmos. His hair, akin to magpie feathers, blossomed within the thousand-starred universe.
"May all sentient beings attain their desires."
The myriad eyes on Yaoshi's body gazed upon Su Jinyan, his voice filled with compassion, as if expressing deep empathy.
Before Su Jinyan could speak, Yaoshi sprinkled nectar, instantly reconstructing his disintegrating body.
As soon as Su Jinyan recovered, he promptly used Loving Gaze.
With Loving Gaze activated, any being who met or was met by his gaze would experience overwhelming affection.
This profound love manifested as unwavering care, attention, and selfless devotion towards others, transcending boundaries of family, friendship, geography, or cultural background.
Additionally, it allowed him to designate up to ten individuals (based on their strength) to perform a dramatic enactment of "love" before him.
Instantly, every entity gazing at Su Jinyan felt a remarkable shift in their hearts.
[Little Fox's Benefactor]: Waaaah, Benefactor, I am guilty; I must confess my wrongdoings.]
[The banquet I arranged for you contained potent aphrodisiacs mixed into the wine...]
[Posting Under Real Name: Oh, Big Bro Jinyan, my sincere apologies! My tone was indeed too harsh earlier. From now on, you're truly my elder brother.]
[Fake Dong Merchant: Mr. Su Jinyan, I have forgiven you. Henceforth, I shall be known as Fake Dong Merchant.]
[Anonymous User: Xiao Didi, I realize now that my obsession with avenging Yaoshi may have been excessive.]
[Perhaps it's best to slow down the pursuit of Yaoshi's demise from here on out.]
[Lady Herta: Silver Wolf, are you watching this? I owe you an apology.]
[I'm sorry; I shouldn't have banned your game account. How about having Asta compensate you with 7.6 billion Credits?]
[Punklorde's Silver Wolf: No need to say more, I also made mistakes. Forget the Credits, Lady Herta, let's make amends and move forward together.]
[Risking Life With Cards: Lady Fu Xuan, I'm sorry. Truthfully, my initial reason for allying with you was just to get closer to A-Yan without arousing suspicion.]
[Unfeeling Divination Machine: This venerable one owes you all the most. A-Yan belongs to everyone; I should not have clung possessively.]
[Tail's Little Follower: Waaah, I shouldn't have scorned Tail Master...]
[Diting Listener + Howling Friend: From now on, I'll never sell those clips again. I'm truly sorry for affecting everyone's perception!]
[Blade: Jing Yuan, my apologies. I've caused you too much trouble before.]
[The debt I owe you goes beyond mere words of remorse.]
[Dan Heng, my apologies, but I will continue pursuing you relentlessly across the globe. You'd best be prepared.]
Biting her lip, tears streaming down her face, Topaz said, "Although it's said that debts must be repaid, even after a hundred years is not too late."
"Jarilo VI has just recovered from the disaster, and this is precisely when they need funds the most."
"It's truly immoral of me to urgently demand repayment now!"
"I'll immediately call the company and request the cancellation of Jarilo VI's debt!"
Stelle pounded their chest dramatically, exclaiming, "March, teasing you is just so entertaining; I couldn't resist!"
In the Xianzhou Alliance,
Cloud Rider Marshal Hua contemplated proposing at tomorrow's six rulers meeting to cease pursuing the Abundance Remnants and the Plagues Author of Longevity.
Within a distant, unnamed galaxy,
Ruan Mei's beautiful eyes flickered with deep waves of guilt.
"I shouldn't have cultivated Emanators at the Herta's space station."
"I must personally apologize to the Herta..."
On the remote Screw Star,
Screwllum sighed, "I held too many prejudices against the company before."
"Correction: I must be open and honest for mutual benefit."
At the Herta space station,
Herta gently touched her lips, murmuring, "Hmm, apologizing through a live stream lacks sincerity."
"I think it would be better to apologize face-to-face to Silver Wolf."
Asta promptly tipped one billion credits into the live stream chat.
"The broadcaster is risking their life to stream this."
"How could I freeride on their effort?"
"This month's allowance goes entirely as tips for you!"
In the Intelligentsia Guild,
Dr. Ratio hastily penned handwritten apology letters to the students he had previously made cry with his harsh words.
At the Strategic Investment Department of the Interastral Peace Corporation,
Aventurine was making calls to clients one by one. "Yes, that's right."
"It's about the eighty-billion order; I agree to give a discount now—just eight billion."
On the Astral Express,
Himeko personally brewed a rich cup of black coffee and offered it to Welt. "Welt, here's a new blend of black coffee I've created. I hope you'll try it."
Welt set down his phone and readily accepted the coffee without his usual hesitations. With a nearly grimace-like expression, he drained it in one gulp, then shuddered slightly before offering his highest praise.
"Himeko, your coffee is truly delicious; I'd love to have it every day."
Himeko blinked in surprise.
Oh no, has Welt's mind been affected by drinking this coffee?
Welt sighed, "I shouldn't judge people based on appearances alone."
"I once sent three boxes of fake dongs to Mr. Luocha as an insult," he continued. "Now it seems I was greatly mistaken. I must find time to apologize to him."
Himeko's heart skipped a beat.
Is something seriously wrong? Has Welt's brain suffered damage from that coffee?
Pom-Pom began sobbing, "Su Jinyan is such a good person, Pom-Pom."
"Pom-Pom forgives being glared at until getting pregnant now, so we definitely need to invite him aboard the train."
Shocked, Himeko wondered how Pom-Pom's mind could also seem off.
At that moment, Dan Heng pushed open the door of the information room and hurried out. "I'm going out for a bit."
"Where are you heading?" Himeko quickly asked.
"To find Jing Yuan and Blade," Dan Heng replied calmly. "I need to apologize to them in person."
Himeko fell silent. Great, is the entire Astral Express doomed?
March 7th abruptly burst through the door. "We're going to Luofu too!"
"This maiden must personally apologize to Lady Fu Xuan, seeking forgiveness for impersonating her identity."
Relieved, Himeko said, "Well, whatever little March does never feels out of character."
On Jepella Planet, over billions of its inhabitants were now grasping the true essence of love.
Aha felt deep regret, lamenting, "I'm truly despicable, Aha."
"Having bonded so well with Little Su, why did I even bother negotiating terms with him?"
"This time, even if there's no spectacle to enjoy, I must safeguard Little Su."
With a snap of his fingers, the inn contract that had sealed Sparkle's fate disintegrated into ash.
Nanook cast another glance at Su Jinyan. The great Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, disregarding past grievances and old resentments, directly selected Su Jinyan as the new Destruction's Emissary.
Undeniably, this boy Su Jinyan was ruthless and merciless, devoid of compassion or loyalty, swift in killing decisions, and filled with wicked intentions—a veritable beast among beasts.
He stole the Doomsday Beast without hesitation, destroyed planets on a whim, and impregnated the Aeon of Destruction without second thought.
Such a despicable character was perfectly suited to become Destruction's Emissary.
In Yaoshi's eyes, a tender affection shone as he swiftly planted a seed on Jepella Planet.
Upon landing, the seed rapidly took root, sprouted, and grew into a towering, gnarled giant tree.
"Today, I plant the Eternal Life Divine Tree, granting liberation to all living beings: life unbounded, aging halted, death reversible, severing their worldly sorrows."
[Task completed. Reward obtained: 1 Preservation Fate Echo Phoneme - [Red Light Stop, Green Light Go].]
[A-Ruan Bag: A dimensional pocket belonging to Ruan Mei, connected to a trans-dimensional space. Currently halted from infinite expansion.]
Su Jinyan fell silent, feeling somewhat incredulous as he realized the situation had spiraled beyond his control.
Just as this thought surfaced, Su Jinyan spotted a hazy figure materializing in Jepella.
Composed of mirror fragments, its facial features were distorted by repeated refractions, shrouding them in mystery.
The Memory Aeon, Fuli, made their grand entrance.
With nothing left to lose, it was time to go all out since things had already escalated this far.
Gritting his teeth and steeling himself, Su Jinyan included the Memory Aeon Fuli, the Joyous Aeon Aha, the Abundant Aeon Yaoshi, and the Destructive Aeon Nanook—
Naturally, along with himself—in the performance of love's drama.
["Please specify the detailed content of the theatrical performance."]
["If unable to articulate, you may provide a few keywords instead, leaving the specifics to be determined by the Matrix of Prescience."]
Su Jinyan pondered for a moment. "Keywords: Fatherly Love, Motherly Love, Illness, Poverty, Donations—that should suffice."
["Would you like to invite an audience to watch this dramatic performance?"]
[Upon receiving the invitation, everyone's influence from overwhelming love will be lifted, reducing their emotional state to that of ordinary individuals.]
The moment invitations were sent, clarity returned to all minds.
Marshal Hua of Xianzhou, his face grim, dismissed his absurd and laughable thoughts.
Ruan Mei, nearing the Herta space station, hastily turned back.
In the live stream, heated arguments erupted between Silver Wolf and Herta, Qingque and Fu Xuan, Blade and Dan Heng.
Aventurine, overwhelmed with stress, hurriedly called each client individually to explain he had been excessively intoxicated earlier.
Dr. Ratio tore up his apology letter; such fools did not deserve his remorse.
In the next instant,
a grand Golden Theater rose majestically amidst the glittering cityscape. Its golden exterior gleamed brilliantly, while massive crystal chandeliers hung like constellations from the lofty dome, illuminating the entire hall.
Rows of opulent red velvet seats aligned neatly, plush carpets covered the floor, and lavish decorations alongside exquisite murals exuded an aura of artistry and nobility. Every detail radiated a rich sense of elegance and splendor.
These red velvet seats were now filled with spectators, glancing at one another curiously.
The audience consisted entirely of individuals who had previously fallen under the spell of Loving Gaze.
Jing Yuan, seated next to Marshal Xianzhou, let out an awkward laugh. "Oh, Marshal, what a coincidence! You're here to watch the play too?"
Marshal Xianzhou remained silent, his expression unreadable.
As the stage curtains parted, thunderous applause erupted from below.
Pom-Pom exclaimed fearfully, "Why is everyone clapping by themselves?!"
Welt adjusted his glasses and continued applauding. "Not sure, but I'm certain it must be Su Jinyan's doing."
March 7th vigorously clapped, her face filled with excitement. "We've never seen an Aeon performance before."
Inside a dilapidated little house,
Nanook, portraying baby Adelephine with a pacifier in mouth, was crying inconsolably in a crib.
"I-I am the Aeon of Destruction Nanook, the embodiment of the will of destruction..."
No, wait—no, I am baby Adelephine.
For a moment, Nanook felt disoriented but quickly regained his sense of identity, wailing loudly in the crib.
Old Man Aha, hands clasped behind his back, approached the crib. Glancing at Nanook, he raised his voice and shouted:
"Hey, Su'er."
"The baby's crying; quickly come see what's wrong."
Su Jinyan approached the crib and gently cradled the Adelephine infant, rocking it back and forth.
"Shh, shh, don't cry now," he soothed.
Nanook couldn't help but nuzzle closer to him, seemingly acting coy while uttering sounds akin to "Dada."
The audience below fell silent, wanting to laugh yet afraid to do so.
Frowning, Su Jinyan said, "The child must be hungry, needing to feed."
Aha urged, "Then hurry up and call your wife over; we don't want the baby going hungry."
"Our family has had only single heirs for three generations—Nanook is our sole descendant."
Yaoshi opened the door, silently walked up to Su Jinyan, took Nanook from his arms, removed the pacifier, and inserted a bottle nipple into Nanook's mouth.
Nanook eagerly sucked on the milk formula, little feet kicking joyfully.
Fu Xuan struggled to comprehend this scene. "The Plagues Author becomes the mother of the Ruin Author?"
"And A-Yan becomes the father? Why would this venerable one dream such things?"
With a loving gaze, Yaoshi laid Nanook down in the crib and continued feeding the infant with the bottle.
No, this isn't right!
I am Nanook, the embodiment of entropy, destined to erase the universe's stains. I am not an Adelephine infant!
Nanook displayed a clear expression of resistance.
Yet, faced with the bottle of infant formula, Nanook's mouth betrayed him, vigorously sucking away.
Unable to bear such humiliation, Nanook wanted to destroy everything.
Unfortunately, it was entirely beyond His power.
Soon, Nanook realized the gravity of the situation—having consumed too much milk, nearing its limit!
"Wah..."
Nanook's legs kicked wildly as he burst into tears; He had wet his pants.
Su Jinyan gently patted Yaoshi's hand. "Let me handle this. You should go rest in your room."
Yaoshi shook their head. "I'm not tired."
Aha, hunched over and stooped, undid Nanook's trousers.
"Leave it to me, I'll change my darling grandchild Nanook's diaper."
Humiliated, tears streamed down Nanook's eyes. Helpless, He could only let Aha manipulate His body, changing the diaper under everyone's watchful gaze.
The audience below fell silent, stunned by the dramatic twist unfolding before them.
Just then, the stage curtains swiftly closed with a swish.
Fuli provided narration, "Little did anyone know, the Annihilation Gang's formula milk that Nanook consumed was tainted."
"This directly led to Nanook developing irreversible polio."
"He will spend the rest of his life confined to a wheelchair."
"Who can help this impoverished and tragic family?"
"In the world, there exists genuine compassion. We hope our dear viewers will move their fortunate hands and generously donate."
Audience members were left bewildered.
The curtain opened once more.
Mother Yaoshi pushed a wheelchair onto the stage.
Young Nanook sat in the wheelchair, his eyes devoid of spirit.
Sentimental music began playing softly.
Su Jinyan, microphone in hand, descended from the stage and started singing, "This is the call of the heart, this is the gift of love."
"It's like spring breezes on earth, it's the source of life's essence~"
"No more deserts of the heart, no more wastelands devoid of love."
"Not even death dares approach, as flowers of happiness bloom everywhere~"
Robin murmured quietly, "Quite emotional singing; he has a good vocal foundation."
Aeon of Joy Aha, holding a donation box, approached each audience member seeking charitable contributions.
Su Jinyan soared into a high note, "Ah-ah-ah, if everyone just gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful place for all~"
The audience members below the stage became teary-eyed, unable to resist wiping away the tears streaming from their eyes.
Topaz continuously dabbed at his tears, bewildered. "What's happening? I'm clearly not moved at all, so why am I crying?"
Aventurine, with tears flowing down his face, wore a grim expression. In his right hand, he clutched a large Credit check while his left hand tightly gripped the right arm.
"Damn it, I don't f*cking want to donate! Why won't my hands listen to me?"
Su Jinyan swiftly snatched the check from Aventurine's grasp. "Wow, a two-hundred-million-Credit check? Thanks."
Aventurine's heart bled as his tears continued unabated.
F*ck, that was hard-earned money, damn it!
While some viewers resisted when Su Jinyan approached for donations, once Aha came forward holding the contribution box, everyone willingly and enthusiastically stuffed Credits inside.
The sentimental music gradually neared its conclusion.
Su Jinyan swiftly approached Nanook seated in the wheelchair and sprayed two bursts from the Memory Loss Spray directly at Him.
Nanook's expression visibly turned hazy.
While the Golden Opera House existed, everyone entering it had their abilities suppressed to that of an ordinary person.
To prevent Nanook from raging uncontrollably and destroying everything after the play ended, Su Jinyan resorted to this last resort—erasing His memory of these events.
Otherwise, he genuinely wished for Nanook to retain this humiliating recollection and live with it indefinitely.
