Last Embryo Volume 8 Epilogue

Epilogue

Giant Spirit Train Recollection Hall.

Unusually, Shiroyasha was looking at the stars.

Observing fate through her stargazing ability doesn’t make much sense to her anymore. For her, who is an advanced species of a Celestial Spirit, the starry sky above was like a mirror of herself. Therefore, even if Shiroyasha did stargazed, it would be impossible for her to correctly observe her own destiny.

She was gazing at the stars tonight because she was thinking about the 2nd War for the Sun’s Authority taking place in a faraway world: The Outer World.

(… The second round is about to begin. And depending on the outcome of this second round, we may have to reconsider the relationship between Little Garden and the Outer World.)

Little Garden and the Outer World have complemented each other as mutual observers for a long time. Shiroyasha has been watching over their relationship ever since it Little Garden was build, but she often felt resentment for their unreasonable relationship.

The destruction of mankind and the destruction of Little Garden.

There is perhaps only one way to break the relationship between mutual observers and communal destinies.

(This is a method that can only be done now that the 2nd War for the Sun’s Authority has begun. Indra and Queen will probably oppose it, but I no longer want to see Little Garden being swayed by such a fragile race as humanity.)

The human beings who continue to live in Little Garden are also beloved subjects that need to be protected by the 「Demon Lord of the White Night」.

However, she doesn’t feel the obligation to protect the humans living outside of Little Garden. That’s her sincerity, which hasn’t changed since she tried to seal the Demon Lord Azi-Dahaka forever.

She doesn’t care what happens to her body as long as her beloved world continues without it. However, the relationship between Little Garden and the Outer World cannot be managed by Shiroyasha alone.

(The important thing is not the survival of the human race, but the survival of the mutual observers. Then there is a way to do this. If I miss this opportunity, the path to my wish to make Little Garden an eternal city will be beyond my reach.)

When she once rampaged as a Demon Lord, she ignored the feelings of those who lived in the Little Garden and only cared about herself. But not this time.

Now that everyone is worried about the relationship between the two worlds, it is precisely because of this that Shiroyasha, member of the superior species of Celestial Spirits, must act.

(Izayoi, Asuka, Yo. There are many enemies. 『Yggdrasil』 led by「The Youngest Child of Gaia」followed by 『Ouroboros』. And 『Avatara』 who continue their activities behind the scenes. If I can’t overcome all of these, I will choose a path that completely changes the relationship between the Outer World and Little Garden.)

As the last War’s winner, Shiroyasha cannot participate in the current War, but she does have a Community that lends its strength to others as a Sponsor.

If that Community were to win, Shiroyasha would have it bring about changes in the current Little Garden and the Outer World.

「…. The Judgment Day is fast approaching, so run with everything you have, my newest heroes.」

With these words, her hair slowly changed their color from silver to black. And the moment when Izayoi and the others will know the reason why the hair of she who is the incarnation of 「The Sun That Never Sets」changed color like that will be the moment when they will know the true meaning of the 2nd War for the Sun’s Authority.
