——Aarons’ spirit has been severely damaged.

Under severe overdraft, his brain blocked and sealed most of the "information" that was not needed in order to protect itself - this caused a lot of gaps in his memory, and he could hardly remember why he did this.

But he still knew what he had to do.

"...My Lord! Please go ahead and leave the task to me."

When the navigators helped Aarons to the middle of the ship, Mo Qianyun, who had been sent to charge the central array, happened to meet them.

Of course, the crew members all knew that Mo Qianyun was Aarons' personal bodyguard, and his strength was far above theirs - so they safely handed Aarons over to Mo Qianyun.

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

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

"It is 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 pressed his forehead, which was in severe pain, with his hand and put his arm on Mo Qianyun's shoulder.

As soon as his brain thought for a moment, he would feel a tearing pain... and this pain would even make his steps stagger noticeably.

And Mo Qianyun certainly knew what was going on...but she was not a therapist and had no way to relieve Aarons' pain.

"Master, we are almost there... just hold on a little longer."

"...Yeah, we're almost there."

In the passage that was already filled with smoke and flames, Aarons and Mo Qianyun walked slowly towards the escape pod at the stern of the ship.

The Yumenhua was still circling 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.

A warship that loses control will eventually crash into this land.

……

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

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 and avoid the enemy's pursuit as much as possible.

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

"My Lord, we are here."

"Ahem... Is everyone here?"

"Captain, all 32 surviving crew members have arrived... Please give your instructions."

Aarons' senses had become quite blurry, and his physical strength was almost exhausted - but he still unconsciously extended his mental power outward, sensing everything around him.

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

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

When Aarons was supported by Mo Qianyun and walked to the cabin door, his spirits suddenly perked up for some reason.

The crew members standing in the lifeboat ready to greet him had no idea why Aarons was standing outside talking, but they didn't raise any objections.

This captain had led them to fight to such an extent under absolute disadvantage... All those who were still alive had nothing but respect for him.

"In fact, even if the lifeboat is successfully launched, it will most likely be shot down under the enemy'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!"

"Oh, in that case... there will be no problem!"

Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, something unexpected suddenly happened.

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 anyone could react to what was happening, Aarons reached out and pulled 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... Could it be that you are——"

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

It was impossible to leave the lifeboat without cover.

Even if it is impossible to suppress the enemy's attack, someone must draw the 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 final order - stay alive!"

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

His already exhausted mental strength spread out again, and Aarons once again forced himself to connect to the Prison Flower which was about to fall.

Then he directly released the lifeboat's fixings and forcibly ejected the last survivors on the boat.

……

"…The final battle, ah."

Although he had foreseen his own end, for some reason Aarons felt no fear in his heart.

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

However, he would have to pay an irreparable price for this.

"It's such 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 I forget something? Perhaps I did.

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 was still someone who could be replaced at any time... he had no regrets.

"All informed... This is the Armand Empire's special cruiser, the Yumenhua—"

In the dreamy mist, Aarons gathered his last bit of strength and returned to the command room.

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

——This second life will end here.

"The super array has been activated. This ship will now carry out its final mission—"

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

"——Target! The Dusk Kingdom's land fortress! Lower the rudder, both sides at maximum speed, and move forward!"

The already tattered black warship, under the final command of her captain, pointed its bow towards the huge fortress on the ground.

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

Although people on earth had foreseen the coming disaster, it was already too late.

"Come, join me...and burn up in flames!"

——Then, having completely exhausted the last bit of his strength, Aarons fell asleep peacefully in the illusory mist.

……

It was as if the sun had set directly on the earth - the survivors who were fortunate enough to witness the 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 talk about what happened that day.

"But why did I survive?"

They just keep asking others this unanswered question.
