Chapter 821: Chapter 818: Warmth and Cold

The journey to the Death Node seemed about to reach its end. In the extremely uniform gray-white backdrop outside the ship’s hull, some barely noticeable black lines had started to subtly appear, with physical structures emerging in the distance and slowly expanding ahead of Homeloss and Brilliant Starship.

Yet, for some reason, this scene, seen more than once, felt particularly… lonely and prolonged to Duncan this time.

He stood quietly at the bow of Homeloss, waiting for the warp to stop, as footsteps sounded from behind him. Without turning around, he knew who was approaching.

“Lucy,” Duncan said softly, “we’re almost there.”

“I know,” Lucy came beside Duncan, gazing together at the slowly changing landscape in the distance, “The last node, right? Then it’s back to the resting place of the Storm Goddess… Every journey has its end.”

“I’m sorry, I have to go alone again,” Duncan sighed lightly, aware that he was just inhabiting an “avatar.” Yet, many complex emotions still stirred within him in front of Lucy, and how much of those emotions belonged to “Duncan Ebnomal,” he couldn’t quite say, “I had promised you before…”

He didn’t finish speaking when Lucy suddenly interrupted, “You’ve kept your promise by taking me along to the edge of the world.”

As she spoke, she turned her head toward Duncan with a deep, tranquil look, her expression extraordinarily serious. But after two or three seconds, she suddenly laughed, “What did you expect? That I would act like a naive little girl, wailing and clinging to you, preventing you from doing something important? Or that I would throw a tantrum at a time like this, scolding you and having you embark on such an important journey with regret and dejection? That I’d doom all the hopes of the world over my bad mood at this moment?”
