We cannot defeat the enemy in front of us using ordinary methods alone.

Even with all their power and wisdom, humanity cannot reach the fragments of the gods that transcend the planet.

Therefore, Aarons can only come up with one last solution.

"Our attacks are simply not causing any effective damage... If we continue like this, we're bound to lose."

"Sir, are you perhaps planning to..."

"Ah, that's right, I'll use the last backup plan."

Aarons had actually discussed this with Huang Yayin a long time ago—if they couldn't defeat it even if they tried their best, then at least they should expel the fragment from the planet's gravitational field.

Moreover, it's not like humans on this planet haven't done this before.

"The hero of that time was banished from this planet by the Holy Covenant Church using a secret method because he touched upon the truth—and this secret method was the planet's last line of defense."

Planets instinctively reject and repel the presence of foreign objects, so by simply modifying this mechanism, the planet's own power can be used to force enemies out of its gravitational range.

The problem was left unresolved until now because the Holy Covenant Church used the power of the planet to reject and send back the hero from back then.

"The fact that we can still see the anomalies shows that the creature hasn't fully digested those concepts yet... So I plan to banish it along with the entire surrounding space."

Even if the 'fragment' were to invade other planets in the galaxy, the humans on this planet would have a respite of several hundred years.

Given enough time, humanity will have a chance to escape its doom... Even if it's just a temporary fix, it would still be a decent outcome.

"After the space is sealed off, those of us who remain here will likely be excluded... so we may have to start interstellar wandering."

Aarons already knew that Night Owl had prepared an escape plan for them, so he didn't deliberately ask for the details.

Zhu Ying, who was in charge of this matter, simply nodded, indicating that she had made the necessary preparations.

"So, I'll ask one last question: Does anyone have any objections? Of course, even if they do, I won't listen."

After making his usual arrogant joke, Aarons gave one last look at the women around him.

Their gazes toward him held only absolute trust and deep affection—with these, the long journey through deep space didn't seem so terrifying.

However, there are still a few problems to be solved in this final solution.

"Although I will try to seal off this space, ... in the process, the other side will definitely continue to launch attacks."

Aarons didn't have the energy to attend to the front lines while conducting wide-area intervention, so the subsequent attacks would have to be handled by the others.

This also means that if someone suffers a fatal blow at this time... there may really be a loss of personnel.

"Listen carefully... Don't engage in a direct confrontation. Just buy them some time!"

—Aarons cannot predict the future, so he doesn't know if anyone will die in the battle.

Of course, he also wondered if giving up the fight and escaping with the others would be the best option.

But it was as if an invisible chain was binding and pulling him, making it impossible for him to make any other choice—he had to fight the fragment of the god here to get his fate back on track.

"Please, please don't die—"

With this almost pleading cry, the final battle began.

……

Above the sky lies an abyss capable of driving anyone who looks directly at it to madness.

Boundless darkness awakens fear, and fear breeds despair—can humanity truly defeat the all-consuming gods and create a different destiny?

"—It was a massive impact! It looked like... the shell we just fired!"

"Damn it... they can even reproduce that kind of thing now!"

"...prioritize avoidance."

To protect Aarons, who is attempting to seal off space, the women's group, led by Mo Qianyun, has unleashed their full power.

However, their enemy is a completely unreasonable being—no matter what kind of attack hits that dark abyss, the same force will soon fly back from there.

Moreover, after absorbing various powers, that dark abyss even began to rearrange, combine, and recreate... If it is truly using the concept of 'wisdom' now, how can humanity possibly defeat it?

"Giant tentacles! Heading towards the master! Miss Xia Ye!"

"No problem, please leave it to me."

Swords flashed and clashed in the air, creating an impenetrable defensive barrier.

The moment the enormous tentacles appear, they are severed by the girl with a single wing on her back and wielding two swords. And when terrifying artillery fire erupts from the abyss, the girl with giant horns on her head forcibly blocks all the power with her greatsword.

Even though they were soon covered in wounds, they still believed in the person behind them—the only one who could change their fate and lead them to the future.

But precisely because of this, they were completely unaware that... at that moment, the person was facing a life-or-death decision.

……

"Of all times...it has to be at this moment!"

Huang Yayin had once reminded him that the body he was currently using was merely a fabrication created using Aarons Morty's corpse and his abilities.

Even though he has been using his abilities to maintain his physical activity, fictional things can never last long in reality.

Before the war even began, he had already clearly realized that this body would soon reach its limit—at which point, his soul would once again lose its anchor and quietly vanish from this world.

"But there's still a chance..."

If he were to use the power of the stars to recreate a body at this moment, he should be able to barely maintain his existence... But if he were to become distracted, the abyss in the sky might devour a woman who was fighting to protect him.

Should we first maintain our own existence, or continue to do everything we can to seal off this space?

"Ha... is this what they call fate?"

Is it to sacrifice yourself to preserve the future of others, or to sacrifice others so that you can barely survive?

Faced with such a choice, Aarons would certainly not hesitate.

"Then let me be stubborn until the very last moment."

Then, golden light burst forth from the man's body, which had begun to show black cracks.

The last remaining traces of Aarons Morty were slowly shattered and swallowed by the surging power of the stars, turning into dust that could not be pieced back together, and disappeared in the bright light.

And those wandering souls will also meet the ending they have chosen.
