way I know, is for him to defeat the Universal Emperor, but the consequences for doing that are unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even she feared what would happen if that chain shattered completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would worlds collapse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would reality break?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Victor survive it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope in this reincarnation you can finally find your peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm tears rolled down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope your soul will be saved from this cycle of yours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The void slowly calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lonely gaze drifted toward a distant golden light—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>toward Victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him silently from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Protecting him from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loving him through endless lifetimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will wait and observe for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression became firm once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My goal will never change, I promise, no matter
