Chapter 351: Combined Resolve, United Hearts Listen While Reading: Pavel Kalatsei - Follow The Light (Songs To Your Eyes) ----- I felt my Cosmic Heart gaining many tiny cracks as I kept infusing my Cosmic Energy into the machine. This might be because instead of using this energy on myself or my abilities, I was letting it all out, something I was not used to, actually. This put a tremendous strain on my Cosmic Heart, which wasn’t the biggest or the strongest out there. It was supposed to be tough; it was made out of a Constellation Sealing Stone, with Sepa inside! Yet… it was gaining cracks! “Sepa…!” “…!” I asked for her help, but she seemed to have fallen silent. Yeah, I can tell why. Why wouldn’t she? If my Cosmic Heart breaks and shatters, there’s a chance she can get out and finally free herself from me. If I were to die, she would die with me, but if it’s shattering like this… Her Cosmic Soul can slowly leak out and… She can free herself. Yeah… I know. Yet even then, who else can I ask for help about this? “Sepa… You… you’re really considering it, aren’t you?” “Anna… I… I…” I smiled sorrowfully. “It’s fine.” “Eh?” “You can escape.” “W-What?” “I don’t want to force you to stay with me, and I don’t… I don’t really want to enslave you or something else.” Yeah, she was being punished for trying to kill me, I know. But I also think she has redeemed herself already. By a lot. She has helped me a lot, more than I could have imagined. Without her help, I think I would have died a few times already. She’s been there for me all this time, and it was all because she was forced. I don’t want to force her anymore. I see her as an equal, as… “You’re my friend, not a slave…” “Anna…” “So go…” “But if it’s shattered, you’ll die?!” “It’s fine… I think I can survive with the Hero Title. But my Cosmic Powers might vanish after this.” Yeah, it was fine. If I give it my all… “Two Million Nanomachines Extracted! W-We’re doing it! A little bit more, everyone!” My masters can be saved. Sacrificing my cosmic powers seems like such a bargain. “…” “It’s fine, Sepa… I want you to be free… With Bastet too.” “I…! Anna… I really want to…” She was doubting herself, but she really just wanted to leave. Maybe she was having conflicting emotions… I was a bit surprised. “You hate me, don’t you?” “Ah…!” “I made you suffer, and it was my fault you ended like this…” “Anna…” I clutched my fists as I resisted the pain. At the end, I started crying. “I’m sorry…” “…” I felt Sepa’s warmth for a moment as I saw her manifestation appear in front of me. She was crying too. “No, Anna! I don’t want to leave you!” She wrapped her cosmic body around my body. “S-Sepa?!” “I don’t want to leave you! I want to stay with you!” “B-But…! What about your life as a Constellation?! I forced you to do this. I... I enslaved you; I don’t want this anymore!” “It’s not because of that! I… Being with you was the first time that I felt my life even mattered.” Her big eyes glanced at my own. “It was the first time I ever felt like I was worth anything…” “Really? But you’re a Constellation, still above all of us…” “You don’t know how it is, do you? So lonely… I never mattered… I was nothing but a shadow of the greater gods.” She looked at the floor sorrowfully. “Bastet was my only friend… And even then, because of my status, we could only see each other secretly.” “Sepa…” I felt moved by her words. The first time she mattered… Was her life that sad? I can’t believe it… At first I really thought she was just a ruthless centipede goddess. But I guess I should have never judged a book by its cover. Ironic coming from me, I know… “When I was put into that crystal, there was a part of me that didn’t really care…” Sepa muttered. “I lived a pointless life, afraid of everything… I was a Constellation, but it didn’t matter, because everything else was so much stronger… so much better than me! I was nothing but… a forgotten goddess and a forgotten story…” Then she kissed my forehead with her little m
