——Aarens' spirit has been seriously damaged.

Under severe overdraft, his brain blocked and sealed most of the "information" that was not needed in order to protect himself - this caused a lot of gaps in his memory, and he almost couldn't remember why he had to do this.

But he still knew what he should do.

"... Master! Please go first, Master, please leave it to me."

When the navigators helped Aarons to the middle of the ship, Mo Qianyun, who was previously sent to charge the central array, just met up with them.

Of course, the crew knew that Mo Qianyun was Aarons's personal guard, and his strength was far superior to theirs - so they safely handed Aarons to Mo Qianyun.

However, Mo Qianyun was actually at the end of his strength at this time, and the magic power in his body had almost been drained.

"Qianyun... Is the central array ready?"

"It's fully charged and can be activated at any time. But my lord, I have almost used up all my magic power..."

"... It doesn't matter."

Aarons put his arm on Mo Qianyun's shoulder while pressing his forehead, which was in severe pain.

As long as the brain thinks for a while, there will be a tearing pain... and such pain will even make his steps stagger obviously.

And Mo Qianyun certainly knows what's going on... But she is not a healer and has no way to relieve Aarons' pain.

"My lord, we are almost there... Just hold on a little longer."

"... Yes, we are almost there."

In the passage that was already full of smoke and fire, Aarons and Mo Qianyun slowly walked towards the escape pod at the stern.

The Yumenhua was still hovering in the air, and the enemy's anti-aircraft magic did not stop - and soon, the laser magic on the fortress would be fired again.

And the warship that lost control would eventually crash on this land.

...

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two finally reached the stern of the ship where the lifeboat was.

The lifeboat is actually a magic car that can fly at high speed. After being released, it can fly a distance of ten kilometers in just a few minutes, avoiding the enemy's pursuit as much as possible.

The Empire's warships have always been invincible on the battlefield, and there is no need for such things... But today, this prepared escape plan has become the only hope.

"My Lord, we are here."

"Ahem... Is everyone here?"

"Report to the captain, the 32 surviving crew members are all in place... Please give your instructions."

Aarons' senses have become quite blurred, and his physical strength has almost been exhausted - but he still unconsciously extends his mental power outward to perceive everything around him.

- All the crew members have entered the lifeboat, and he and Mo Qianyun are the last two.

"We're all here... So everyone, I want to tell you something."

When Aarons was supported by Mo Qianyun and walked to the hatch, his spirit suddenly became vigorous for some reason.

The crew members standing in the lifeboat ready to greet him didn't understand why Aarons stood outside to talk, but they didn't raise any opinions.

This captain had led them to fight to such an extent in an absolute disadvantage... All the people who were still alive only had respect for him in their hearts.

"In fact, even if the lifeboat was successfully launched, it would most likely be shot down under the opponent's firepower suppression."

"... What are you talking about, Captain?"

"So... I want to ask you a question."

No one knew what Aarons wanted to say, and even Mo Qianyun beside him didn't understand what he was going to do.

But then, Aarons asked a puzzling question-

"... Am I someone worthy of your following?"

"Of course you are--there's no time, come up quickly!"

"Oh, in that case... there's no problem!"

Under everyone's unbelievable gaze, something unexpected happened suddenly.

Aarons, who was exhausted and had almost no strength left, suddenly slid his arm from Mo Qianyun's shoulder to her waist, and then pushed her into the lifeboat with force!

Before everyone could react to what happened, Aarons reached out and pulled down the lever on the wall next to him... Then, a closed gate fell in front of him, separating him from the lifeboat.

"My Lord!? No... Are you--"

"If you want others to leave here safely, someone must do what they should do... and that person happens to be me."

The lifeboat cannot be taken away without cover.

Even if they cannot suppress the enemy's attack, someone must attract firepower for them.

...And Aarons, the only one who can control the entire ship with mental power, is the most suitable candidate.

"So, this is the last order - stay alive!"

"No, don't! You can't -"

The mental power that has been exhausted spread again, and Aarons once again forced himself to connect to the Yumenhua, which is about to fall.

Then, he directly removed the fixing device of the escape boat and forcibly ejected the last survivors on the ship.

...

"...The last battle, ah."

Although he had foreseen his own end, Aarons did not feel fear in his heart for some reason.

The super array in the center of the hull has been fully charged, and the specially reserved magic source stones are still there - this is the last trump card of the Yumenhua, and it is also the final means that Aarons intended to use from the beginning.

However, he has to pay an irreversible price for this.

"Really, a short but fulfilling life."

The memory in his head has become blurred due to mental overdraft, but Aarons still remembers the wish he made at that time.

- He wants to make Aarons Moti's name known to the world again.

"... Is it foggy?"

... Did he forget something? Maybe it is true.

He has had experiences that he never had in his previous life, and he also knows that his second life does have some meaning.

Although he is still just a person who can be replaced at any time... but he does not regret it.

"All reports... This is the Armand Empire Special Service Cruiser Yumenhua--"

In the illusory light mist, Aarons fought with his last strength and returned to the command room.

When he sat back in the seat that symbolized responsibility and honor, there was only a satisfying sense of fulfillment in his heart.

- This second life will end here.

"The super array has been activated. This ship will carry out the final mission from now on--"

The sixth-level magic array has begun to operate, and a large number of magic source stones in the warehouse are about to be activated by forbidden magic--

"--Target! The land fortress of the Kingdom of Dusk! Full rudder, maximum speed on both sides, forward!"

The black warship, which was already riddled with holes, pointed its bow at the huge fortress on the ground under the last order of her captain.

The huge carbon-uranium engine once again spewed out blazing red flames, and the broken shell continued to peel off the shapeless fragments--as if it was a black meteorite symbolizing disaster, falling towards the arrogant enemies.

Although the people on the ground had foreseen the impending disaster, it was too late.

"Come, burn up with me... in the flames!"

--Then, Aarons, who had completely exhausted the last bit of his strength, fell asleep peacefully in the illusory mist.

It was as if the sun had fallen directly onto the earth—the survivors who had the honor of witnessing that scene said so to others afterwards.

“When the blazing starlight lit up, all life was instantly reduced to ashes in the brilliance. The earth was shaking, and the sky seemed to be torn open by a huge hole…”

“Human magic and fighting spirit are meaningless in front of that kind of power. No matter who you are, you are equal in front of that kind of power…”

No one wants to mention what happened on that day.

“…But why did I survive?”

They only keep asking others this unanswered question.
