◾︎Encounter with Legacy
When Hyde and her friends succeeded in conquering the Seven Stars, releasing the Water Legacy, and breaking down its barrier, Aristella and his friends boarded Solaris' home planet. Although the energy supply had been cut off, the battle within the home planet was extremely fierce. There was also a battle with the Seiben the Star King, who had no memory of his time on the Seven Stars and was just a vessel. After defeating him and releasing the five magical light reactors, Aristella and his friends released the guardians of the old world, which were the source of Ark's power.
They also looked like the Moonchild who had helped Aristella and the others up until now.
“Looks like you won the bet, as I said, Alice.''
“It’s annoying, but it seems that way.”
“But the real battle begins here.”
“I know.”
◾︎Past Edition - Alice's Thoughts ①
Nyarlathotep called out to Kaguya, but she quickly turned toward me.
“Alice, I'll leave the rest to you. Explain."
"You’re going to burden me with all the trouble."
Alice turned to Kaguya and started talking.
"Well, Kaguya, you have the role of rebuilding the world, the administrator, the observer, and Orihime and Hikoboshi..."
“That’s a bit too much! ”
Kaguya raises her voice, but is cut off.
“In the first place, you kind of started this story, so you have to take care of it until the end. Besides, the person who manipulates time needs your power, and someday I’ll set you free. Hehehe, it's not a lie.''
Even though Nyarlathotep said she would leave it to Alice, she still managed to interfere.
“Just explain what you mean, and I'll think about it.''
"To restore this world to its original state."
“Too much omitted! ”
“Well, even if this world becomes one in the future, and as a result of various things, we can temporarily break away from Gears’ control, it won't be a solution. In fact, that's where it all starts. First of all, the problem of parallel future Gears will not be solved, and there is currently no way to solve it. So that's where the world is divided. The old world we are in today and the new world that will be fused in the future. However, I think that the new world will continue to be attacked by Gears from the parallel world.''
“How do you solve that? ”
"It can’t be resolved now."
"Eh."
“It’s possible to solve it in the future. In order to save the world, we need to free Zeus. To do that, we have to recover the scattered divine powers, but we want to isolate them from Gears’ interference, so we divide the world. When the new world that will be created temporarily overturns Gears and Gears’ power weakens, we can restore the current world and the old world, leaving observers in order to fix it. Kaguya, your help is needed to restore the old world. I want you to control the connection with the new world strictly until someone appears, who can restore the 10 worlds, create a receptacle for the power of the gods, and hold that power again.
“What about the New World?”
“The New World continues its fight against Gears. To hold down the Gears, we need a place to fight. Either way, when the time comes...it may not come, but when it does, I'll be borrowing yours. I'll be a little lonely, but at that time, even Nyarlathotep and I will be reborn as residents of the old world, and only you and the other administrator will remember everything.''
"What's that? I'll be so lonely. If I were a rabbit, I would die."
“I'll come pick you up right away. The powers of the gods are scattered throughout the old world, so if they gather together, it will become the key that will open the door to the new world. So, please wait. Me, Nyarlathotep, and Fieth are here. Well, I'm sure we'll have a huge fight at first.''
“That's what I said to Kaguya.” Alice thought “However, I cannot guarantee anything either. What lies ahead is only a prediction. But I was sure. The story so far has worked out somehow, so perhaps it will continue in the future as well.”
◾︎Current Edition - Defeat of Solaris
Solaria and Ark, who lost their energy, were defeated by Aristella and the others. That light envelops everything in this world, and releases the curse of the black sun from the Cocoon. Cocoon is out of danger.
“Is this the end?”
Aristella muttered. However, it was his guardian Alice who answered him.
"No, this is where it starts."
“Are you the child of the moon who was watching over me?”
“Yes, I have always been watching over this world and you. However, this world is destined to continue fighting against Gears. But someday, we will free you.''
“Is it unavoidable?”
“Unfortunately, yes. Otherwise, the world itself won't be able to maintain its balance. And I want you to become an observer of this world, in order to preserve this world until the time of liberation. Kaguya, please begin.''
Then, the world is rebuilt along with Alice's voice.
◾︎Force of Will
Now, the Old World has been rebuilt and the world has been divided into the Old World and the New World. The only thing that connects them is this moon.
Aristella becomes an observer of the new world and watches over it. Now, Cocoon has escaped the crisis and is progressing. There are planets left in space that are the remains of Gears, but someday, Gears will attack again.
The old world was divided into 10 main stars with the power of the gods put to sleep. From there, those who inherit the power of the gods appear, and when they are all gathered, the path of the moon opens to the new world. To Kaguya, it seemed like an incredibly long-winded story.
However, it always starts with a small opportunity, and before you know it, it could become bigger. It might be sooner than you think.
“What about your world?”
“Nothing yet.”
“I see, is everyone doing well?”
Several souls who died in the Old World were reincarnated into the New World through Yggdrasil.
“Too energetic.”
“That’s good.”
“I'm looking forward to it.”
“And so, many stories will start and end from here,” Kaguya though. “Just like in the fairy tale of the red moon.”
