In the Apocalypse Era, people's impression of cities is merely a gathering place of monstrous ruins.
But at this moment, when this intact city began to crumble from its very center, when a terrifying presence capable of destroying everyone appeared in the sky...
People didn't feel despair; on the contrary, countless thoughts began to ferment.
In this world, nothing is more satisfying than exacting revenge for grievances and settling scores.
Nothing is more exhilarating than avenging the loss of family and home on the spot.
Love can be forgotten, but hatred absolutely cannot.
When the gigantic golden balance collapsed and was destroyed...
Looking at Enzo in the distance, revealed a relieved smile.
Just a while ago, he and Nico lost the hard-won new ties they had established, which was naturally painful.
The best remedy to soothe this pain is revenge.
The fall of the balance means the curse is broken, and the great revenge is achieved.
Not only Enzo and Nico, but also Cavendish, Elsa, Borg, Colonel Devon, and others... could now freely recall the once familiar faces they had spent time with, yet had already lost.
Those names were no longer mere "identities," they were irreplaceable beings with souls.
"The curse is broken!"
No one knows who finally mustered the courage to shout out this phrase.
After the long sighs and silence ended, a tsunami of tears and laughter erupted.
Grieving cries, unrestrained laughter, exhilarating roars of revenge achieved and the downfall of gods, appeared continuously in the city like fireworks.
This is the sound of victory.
Wen Xishu also rarely smiled, not because he cleared the level, nor because his exhausted Tower Power Value was restored without loss.
He just wanted to smile, to be part of this huge collective of countless souls with differences and personalities.
This is humanity.
Nico's tears fell in large drops.
Colonel Devon revealed a comforting smile, Cavendish recalled recent experiences, realizing he hadn't been abandoned, and cried in both relief and gratitude.
Borg also didn't expect that they could really break the curse.
All of this feels like a dream.
"Commander... Thank you." Enzo lit another cigarette.
He knew that his students were still afraid, but it didn't matter, in the future, he would have plenty of time to let them love many specific people in this world, never again worrying about sudden replacements.

The pervasive dust seemed unable to disperse, but fortunately, there's no law here dictating that smoke must be harmless.
In the center of the dust, there's a special space where the dust cannot approach.
A man donned in sapphire armor, his long hair dancing, wielding a bow and crossbow, had already descended from the sky into the center of the dust.
"In the Deceit Tower, there are some levels where if you choose the easy methods, their difficulty will match the level itself."
"But if you choose the most difficult solution, it's likely that a current level climber will encounter an unsolvable desperate situation."
"I have to admit, you are a miracle maker, Wen Xishu. Congratulations, you defeated a formidable enemy."
Being deemed powerful by Sagittarius, it naturally meant true strength.
Wen Xishu smiled:
"Even if he was killed in one shot by you, do you still think he was powerful?"
Sagittarius said:
"This is the Obsession World, had it been in the Three-Tower Battlefield, my presence would have inevitably prompted his advance preparations."
"Honestly, his authority... is higher than mine."
That's not surprising, considering Sagittarius is from the combat system, the weakest in rules among the twelve constellations.
"You harbor unimaginable power within you, not erased by the Balance Will. Twice in succession, not only not erased, but even making you... become stronger."
"If my two consecutive arrows didn't kill you, and your vitality grew even stronger, I would have stopped the attack, amazed, and fell into panic."
"Precisely due to these two failures that I seized the initiative."
"Moreover, this arrow killing him was not solely my power."
Sagittarius said this and reached out his hand, pulling up Wen Xishu, who had recently exhausted all his strength and was sitting on the ground.
Due to achieving the perfect ending, the resources Wen Xishu lost would return in full, but there was a brief process.
In this process, he appeared somewhat weak.
After Sagittarius pulled Wen Xishu up, he smiled:
"I originally thought my archery had reached its limit; this is the Absolute Oblivion Arrow, created to deal with Leon."
"So although you consumed a lot, you benefited."
Wen Xishu did not deny it.
If it weren't for Sagittarius' all-out strike, he indeed would have had no means at this segment; it was either behead or become a lackey.
Sagittarius continued:
"Of course, I also benefited. As I said, I thought this was the limit. But today's arrow, I can feel it, my arrow felt heavier."
"I seem to have comprehended some... new ways to use power."
"It's strange, the Three Towers War lasted so long, yet I felt nothing. But after binding my fate to yours, I had some revelations."
Wen Xishu didn't understand, after all, this was the realm of God, something he still couldn't comprehend this divine power.
Namely, the collective will.
Sagittarius, a lonely archer, his arrows always carried only his own will.
But just now, his shot had something complex.
Yet it wasn't random thoughts.
