At the last moment when the light blue beam of light reappeared in the sky and bombarded Animusfia's head, Animusfia constructed the "Plutoon" Spear of Uranus at the critical moment. His own [Hades].
Although speaking, she belongs to Animusfia alone, in this era, except for those from Chaldea, everyone also has primitive and simple thoughts about [Hades]————————
Buried somewhere deep underground, the world continues after death.
but------
Animusfia obviously will not believe those myths and legends revealed by others that cannot be verified or falsified.
Unless someone really left the underworld and returned to the world again and brought sufficient evidence and examples to Animusfia.
Otherwise Animusfia would not believe any hypothesis about Hades.
Whether the cat in the box is alive or dead, Animusfia will only make a decision after it is definitely confirmed.
As for what Hades is and what kind of place it is, just like the life and death of the cat in the box, Animusfia does not know.
So how does Animusfia build Hades?
Even after establishing [Hades], how can he use something that symbolizes death to protect himself under the "Star of Tears" that destroys everything?
That has to go back to Hades itself.
Although the temple of Hades is only one on the west side of the Peloponnese in the entire Greek world, humans have never hated [Hades] from the beginning.
Before the emergence of monotheistic beliefs, before the boundaries between gods and humans were not so blurred or so clear.
Before the beautiful vision of reincarnation and ascension to heaven.
The underworld carries all human beings' unwillingness and regrets about death.
For those who long for life, their life must be worth lingering on.
Just like the fragile yet gorgeous vase held in the hand.
Whether it is a life expectancy of only a few months or an accident that will come at some unknown time, all of this makes human beings feel sad.
It would be great if it could continue, it would be great if it could continue to think, it would be great if it could carry this moment forward to the next moment.
With such a wish, one human being after another was pushed to the other side of death.
Countless human beings can only usher in the end of death and the end of their life journey.
No one knows what will happen after the end.
So, it would be great if [Hades] existed.
It would be nice if there was a new journey after the end.
Those who have passed away have not really left you, and those old friends you miss can still continue the daily life you once knew.
"Life" is no longer the only "life". If you can continue your joys, sorrows, joys, and thoughts during your lifetime, what's the harm even if you are dead?
It's just that the body no longer needs to breathe and the heart no longer beats.
"Death" is nothing more than another life after transformation, the so-called "alter life".
[Hades] is the most beautiful and gentle wish woven by human beings.
It is the ultimate paradise that includes heaven and hell and realizes human beings' needs for justice and fairness.
It is a warm place where people can welcome the unknown with peace of mind.
So much so that Animusfia, who never believed in gods, silently longed for the existence of Hades.
Although we know that all predictions made by humans are untrustworthy, even though we know that no one can detect what they are.
But Animusfia still silently looked forward to the fact that the journey after the end of life does exist.
Silently looking forward to the shelter that is enough to protect "living beings" in the face of death.
Countless stones, ice blocks, and gradually cooling gas appeared around Animusfia, and then gradually collided, condensed, and merged.
The heat from the impact was enough to melt all the metal and soil.
In the end, a "celestial body" composed of hot flowing matter barely reached hydrostatic equilibrium, and the Spear of Uranus in Animusfia's hand appeared around him in a spherical shape as its core. .
The magma flowing on it cooled and solidified, and large and small ice cubes and meteorites fell on the surface of the planet again.
This time the planet did not melt again under the impact of large and small, but only many craters of different sizes appeared on the surface.
The ice melted during the fall turned back into a layer of ice covering a large part of the planet's surface.
Organic matter produced by the collision with a huge celestial body and turned dark red at high temperatures also appeared on the surface of the planet.
There seemed to be another planet that was vaguely created during this collision, but it did not appear next to Animusfia.
It would be too unlucky for the satellite named after the ferry god who carried people across the River Styx to appear at this moment.
However, the huge dark red area "Cthulhu Zone" left on the surface of Pluto is clearly visible.
That was one of Animusfia's most profound impressions of Pluto.
Next to it is the equally impressive huge heart-shaped snowfield "Yumbo Ward".
The Brass Finger Ring surrounds Pluto's equator, as well as other dark red "giant spots" dotting Pluto's southern hemisphere.
Kruhn's Spot, Ala's Spot, Meng Po's Spot, Balrog's Spot, Morgoth's Spot;
Zhenghe Mountain, Idrisi Mountain, Barry Mountain, Hillary Mountain;
Challenger Mound, Union Mound, Columbia Mound;
Monkey King Sogou, Inanna Sogou and Dumuzi Sogou.
The elements that made up the Pluto in Animusfia's impression all appeared on the celestial body he constructed using magic.
This is the [Hades] in Animusfia's heart.
And this [Hades] should also belong to the humans who successfully landed on the moon two thousand years later and dispersed civilization into space.
The "Star of Tears" capable of destroying everything bombarded Pluto built by Animusfia.
"What you want to destroy is the civilization on this [planet], right?"
Animusfia questioned the white giant.
"I'm sorry, the [civilization] here doesn't just belong to this planet!"
In the world two thousand years later, human beings are no longer creatures limited to the earth.
Animusfia shouted loudly to the circular formation in the sky, the human incinerator behind it, and the space still behind it.
The light blue beam of light struck the stars constructed by Animusfia without any reservation.
During the last period of time when she was completely lying on the hospital bed, the only thing Animusfia could do was to raise her head and look up at the starry sky.
Perhaps for Ferenz Nadasti, he can spend the rest of his life staring at his beloved wife Elisabeth Bathory.
But for Animusfia, who had the same fate but was not exactly the same, he had no idea what romance meant in the first half of his life.
Until Animusfia saw those people and objects appearing in myths and works from all over the world; being represented as various great explorers or scientific researchers; being represented as a certain artificial satellite or a certain space shuttle. ——————
And after being named after certain victims, Animusfia realized exactly that.
That's what romance is all about.
Just like after hearing the poetry recited by the teacher in college, I instantly realized what the [poetry] is.
The moment I look up at the stars, the moment I understand the "dreams" that humans have,
The romance that transcends ridiculous countries, ethnic groups, cultures, religions, and even transcends the earth itself, and belongs to mankind alone,
It was clearly recognized by Animusfia.
If the only outcome he can welcome in the end is death, if the underworld that can protect him from death really exists.
Animusfia hopes that Hades is neither under the ground nor in the sky.
Animusfia neither wanted it to be "hell" nor "heaven."
The Hades he hoped for should be far outside the earth and far above the sky.
The Hades he hoped for should be in the vast starry sky.
As for what exactly Hades should look like?
Let's use the planet named Pluto as an example.
Animusfia secretly thought that this was the most "romantic" fantasy he could come up with in his life.
Perhaps he can get a glimpse of the word "romantic" in his fantasy-colored poems or works, but as far as Animusfia is concerned, the closest he has come to the word "romantic" is It was just a short period of time when I ran errands for the puppet master in exchange for a body as a reward.
The problem that I thought could be solved by just getting a prosthetic body turned out to be an unsolvable problem.
And Animus Fianna's idea of continuing to stay with her after changing her body ended in vain along with his budding feelings.
If you think about it carefully, there is a huge gap between him and Aozaki Orange in terms of habits, status, and age.
And Animusfia's feelings are actually not pure.
If the woman named Aozaki Orange has really become a middle-aged woman in her late fifties as her actual age————————
Well, if it was that person, Animusfia would actually be okay.
But for him, that's all in the past. Similarly, few people will really abandon appearance to make emotional choices.
Otherwise, Aozaki Orange would not always stick to the appearance that was probably fixed in her twenties.
Nor would Animusfia smile and warn him every time he mentioned his age.
What she didn't know, however, was that there were many times when such interactions were intentionally mentioned by Animusfia.
Even though he knew it was a minefield, he still stepped into it.
Maybe she knows about this too.
However, Animusfia didn't know whether to be happy or sad about Cheng Zi's gentleness of talking to him even though he knew the boy opposite wanted to chat with him but didn't know where to start, so he started to talk to her.
Happily, he finally got the tenderness that belonged to Cheng Zi.
Sadly, he was still lacking something after only relying on this roundabout way to take a slight step forward with her.
Wouldn't it be better for me to be bolder?
Perhaps it would be better to take that step that you have never dared to take without considering the consequences.
Although you may lose everything after failure, if you lack the courage to take risks, it may be better to just take it for granted.
Personally speaking, Animusfia admired Columbus very much.
No matter what he was like, Columbus at least had the courage and determination that Animusfia lacked in the past.
Now Animusfia has found her courage.
But unfortunately, his relationship did not begin, and he could not even express his feelings.
Although Animusfia now has courage,
but,
He has also lost his chance.
It would be better to say that there was no chance from the beginning and everything was just his illusion.
The emotion that was still budding in my heart died before it sprouted.
But according to Animusfia's condition, it would be right to say that she died of illness.
Even if something does happen in the middle, what will be left behind in the end is bound to be regret and pain.
Animusfia's prediction was indeed verified after obtaining Nadasdi's memory.
Moreover, all of this is based on the beautiful assumption that the person will promise himself——————
What if you are rejected?
Even Columbus, who firmly believed that there must be land across the sea, must still have the fear of failure in his heart.
The fact that the other side of the sea is America and not India is even more of a failure.
If the discovery of the New World was not more exciting than the discovery of a new route to India, Columbus, who had insisted all his life that the native Americans were Indians, would have been quite disappointed after his death.
Even though Animusfia now considers herself to be much more mature than before, he still doesn't think that there is any place where he can be noticed by Miss Orange.
Even Ritsuka and Nero may have fallen in love with him only because he showed some aspects of being "reliable" and helped them.
At least Animusfia thinks so.
Judging from her character and appearance, Animusfia at least did not think that any woman would favor her for this reason.
Whether it is Fujimaru Ritsuka or Nero Claudius, they all rely on themselves to some extent.
Even Elisabeth Bathory did not like Ferenc Nadasti at first.
Maybe it's a little too self-centered, but Animusfia only established this idea after all kinds of self-doubt.
The three major illusions of life still linger in his mind to this day.
However, more importantly, looking back now, he discovered that Aozaki Orange had never relied on him from the beginning.
On the contrary, it was Animusfia who kept bothering Aozaki Orange.
How could he succeed like this?
Even Columbus first set sail after firmly believing that there must be land on the other side of the sea.
Animusfia could not believe in anything.
That very scientific skepticism almost destroyed his implementation of the word "trust".
Although he felt very sorry for the two girls, Animusfia even doubted Nero and Ritsuka's affection for him.
He also thought that it was just a temporary impulsive feeling after he helped them.
If he disappears on a certain day, he will definitely fade away, an emotion that changes rapidly like a tide.
What’s ridiculous is that Animusfia can only believe in false things——
All that is false.
————————
Why are you starting to reflect on yourself at this time...
Animusfia laughed at her inappropriate reflection on life.
It was clear that he was facing a formidable enemy, yet he was here to sum up his life which was too short to be short.
Sure enough, he himself must have admitted his failure.
The life force in the body passed quickly and was transformed into the magic power of the underworld that could not be used by the living.
Even with Zhou Yu's spiritual foundation, Animusfia could not continue to support the magic power required to use Pluto magic at this moment, and could only overdraw her own life to continue the magic.
If it were just that, it would be a good result.
Animusfia's body is not much different from death.
He stared at the cracked dome above his head. Being wrapped in Pluto, he should not be able to see any light.
It's only right to be swallowed up gently by the known darkness.
However, the light that destroyed civilization and destroyed everything gradually appeared before his eyes bit by bit.
Even if he uses the power possessed by Hades in mythology, will his "romance" still be no match for this light?
A power that even gods cannot defeat, what a terrifying enemy this is.
"I'm sorry...Your Majesty, it seems that I have betrayed your trust."
The Hades that surrounded him warmly shattered at the next moment, and the stars of tears that shattered everything were unreservedly reflected in Animusfia's eyes.
It's too dazzling.
It seems that I can only stop here.
Having completely surrendered, Animusfia closed her eyes, and at some point she let go of the Spear of Ouranos she was supposed to be holding tightly in her hand, letting it fall freely.
"Have you always been fighting with this kind of thing in your hand?"
However, a beautiful red figure that shouldn't have appeared here faintly passed through Animusfia's eyes under the reflection of light.
Animusfia's ears were still unable to catch the echo of the crystal rod falling to the ground.
"......Don't apologize to Yu. Apologizing can't fix anything——————"
What came to my ears instead were those familiar words.
Animusfiya opened his eyes in surprise, and what appeared in front of him was the emperor who was as gorgeous as a rose.
"Also, do you still call me [Your Majesty] when you leave your last words? It's so rude, you guy."
Nero, who succeeded Animusfia in holding the Spear of Ouranos, was still complaining dissatisfiedly to Animusfia as usual.
Looking at Nero's delicate profile, Animusfia couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Yes, Lucius - no, for you, Lucia is the right one."
Like the light (Lux) implied by her name, Animusfia was enveloped in warm flames and light.
