Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2527 The brilliance of the stars will guide you!

The stars have returned.

Endless starlight spills into every corner, the deep cosmic backdrop and the flowing mist remain unchanged.

It was as if this mysterious space called the 'Council of Stars' had never changed in the slightest with the passage of time.

At this moment, four figures on the high-backed chairs of the Starry Round Table quickly solidified from illusion.

On top of the main seat.

The 'Lord of the Stars' that Im transformed into was the first to appear, his entire body still shrouded in rich starlight.

The faces of the other three councilors also appeared one after another.

"Horo horo horo horo~"

"We're here again!"

Accompanied by a slightly eerie laugh, Perona, dressed in a black princess dress, still looked as lively and adorable as ever.

His big, round eyes were filled with excitement.

She first greeted the person in the main seat politely: "Hello, King Star."

Next up was Aizen, wearing the haori of the Fifth Division Captain, with a gentle and humble expression.

He pushed up his glasses and quickly scanned the entire room.

Finally, it settled in the main seat and gave an elegant bow.

"Lord of the Stars, it is an honor to be summoned by you once again."

His voice was steady and powerful, carrying just the right amount of respect.

Now let's look at Subaru Natsuki.

Unlike the despair I felt last time, when I was almost overwhelmed by hopelessness.

Although there was still a hint of fatigue between his brows at this moment.

But his eyes were much brighter, with a hint of sharpness in them.

Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

He bowed to Im with utmost respect: "Lord of the Stars, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Im simply nodded and told them to do as they pleased.

After exchanging greetings...

Perona couldn't wait to share her recent experiences.

"Let me tell you, tonight was so exciting! I'm so happy!"

"I not only made new friends, but also ate a lot of incredibly delicious food and saw wonderful performances!"

"Because of today's super grand opening ceremony of the Top 100 Tournament!"

Natsuki Subaru repeated curiously, "The top 100 tournament?"

"That's right!"

Perona nodded vigorously, gesturing wildly as she explained, "It's a quadrennial tournament open to the general public and affiliated with the World Government!"

"Regardless of race or profession, anyone who believes they are strong enough can participate, as long as they are not affiliated with the military or government!"

After she finished speaking, she started explaining the process by counting on her fingers.

"First, you have to pass the physical fitness tests in various regions, then there's the second round, a points-based competition in a place called 'Reincarnation Paradise,' and finally the main competition to determine the top 100."

"The most amazing thing is that, in addition to receiving a prize of hundreds of millions of Berries, those who make it into the top ten can also make a wish to the World Government!"

She suddenly raised her voice and looked at Aizen mysteriously:
"I've heard that even resurrecting the dead is possible, Mr. Death~"

"Resurrecting the dead?!"

To everyone's surprise, Subaru Natsuki was the first to gasp in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

A glint flashed in Aizen's glasses, and his eyes flickered slightly behind them.

They didn't seem very surprised by this.

But his heart was still stirred by some turmoil.

Wishing for the resurrection of the dead.

Perona's words reveal the world government's ability to intervene in the laws of life and death.

Even absolute control over the underworld.

Compared to his own research using the Hogyoku to explore the essence of the soul and attempt to break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows.

The world government takes a more direct path of rule.

Perona was unaware of the bombshell information she had just dropped.

She was still immersed in the atmosphere of the opening ceremony that had just ended.

Sitting in the chair, he unconsciously began to hum a tune.

"Come, there is no need to be afraid anymore, no need to be anxious anymore, my dream is everyone's dream."

Perona suddenly stopped after a few words.

"By the way, Mr. Death, poor big brother, how are you doing?"

Aizen maintained his smile, his tone gentle: "Princess Lauperona, all is well on my end."

"It's just the daily routine of handling the Fifth Division, nothing particularly different."

"Eh?"

Just as Subaru Natsuki opened his mouth, Perona asked curiously, "Why have your clothes changed?"

At this moment, Subaru Natsuki did indeed change out of the black tracksuit he always wore.

Instead, she wore a well-tailored, aristocratic white outfit, paired with a purple fur cape and a few well-placed metal accessories.

When asked this.

Subaru Natsuki's face radiated a mixture of pride and happiness.

He immediately stood up straight and proudly showed off his new outfit.

He even struck a somewhat comical pose.

"This is a knight's uniform!"

Natsuki Subaru, unable to contain his excitement, unconsciously raised his voice.

"I am now Emilia-tan, cough cough, Emilia's official knight!"

This identity clearly gives him tremendous motivation and a strong sense of responsibility.

"That's why I want to become stronger!"

"So strong that he can protect her no matter what happens!"

He then took a deep breath.

She began to recount her tumultuous and difficult experiences over the past month.

"After the last council meeting, I successfully persuaded Anastasia and Crusch by following the method Mr. Aizen instructed!"

He spoke very quickly, as if he wanted to pour out all his pent-up emotions and experiences in one breath.

"The battle against the white whale was extremely fierce, but we ultimately won."

"Afterwards, they encountered Petiluccius, the 'Sloth' of the Witch Cult. With the help of Julius, Felix, and the others, they managed to resolve the situation without serious harm, although they 'died' several times in the process."

"I also happen to gain the other party's power by chance, which I call 'the invisible divine will'."

At this point, Subaru Natsuki subconsciously touched his abdomen.

"After that, in order to see Roswaal, we went to a place called 'Sanctuary'."

"Things there are more complicated and more painful."

He described it in great detail, including the psychological struggles during the cycle of death and reincarnation.

This was partly to get more help from Aizen, and partly to vent the pressure that had been building up inside her.

After all, only in this 'Council of Stars' could he freely express his feelings.

"I also signed a contract with Beatrice, so now I am also an elf messenger!"

You could sense that when Subaru Natsuki mentioned her, his tone carried a hint of dependence, closeness, and joy.

"In the end, we defeated Roswaal and successfully drove out those dreadful 'Many Rabbits'."

After a full half-hour explanation, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Now that we're back at Roswaal's mansion, we can finally catch our breath a little."

Natsuki Subaru's expression suddenly hardened: "But the threat of the Witch Cult has not disappeared."

"Next, I must seize the time to train my body, practice Water Breathing and swordsmanship, and make myself stronger as soon as possible!"

"Only in this way can we hope to defeat the Witch Cult's 'Gluttony' in the future!"

"Awaken Rem, and let Emilia, Ram, and everyone remember her again!"

He pronounced Rem's name forcefully, his tone filled with unwavering determination.

"And another thing..." Natsuki Subaru hesitated for a moment.

Then, with pleading and awe, they cautiously cast their gazes toward the blurry yet majestic figure.

"Lord of the Stars... could you... could you give me some hints?"

"Anything, about the future or what I should do."

Im was silent for a moment before his grand voice slowly rose.

"The river of fate continues to flow, and a year later, the waves of calamity will sweep in once again."

"But the brilliance of the stars will guide you onto a new path out of your predicament."
