Chapter 410: NO．173：Moon Rush Symbol

NO．173：Moon Rush Symbol

【Never Having Freedom】

Children have no right to choose their origin.

From the day of birth, being given the surname Symbol, from the day the name 'Moon Rush' was bestowed, Moon Rush Symbol has no freedom.

The moon's galloping revolves around a fixed orbit.

The moon's brightness comes from reflecting sunlight.

The moon is such a subtle celestial body; it cannot become the core of the environment like the sun, and it's even hard to relate to other stars.

Although people have placed countless hopes upon it, it remains difficult to change the fact that it is merely a dim celestial body circling the Earth.

Grey and dim, its surface pitted and scarred from countless impacts, it cannot be called beautiful at all.

It is even somewhat ugly.

—Ugly form, stretching and changing.

【Not Deserving Freedom】

Moon Rush Symbol, Sweet Moon Goddess

A pair of siblings, a pair of moons

Compared to the elder brother Moon Rush Symbol, the younger sister who goes by the name SweetLuna, granted by the three goddesses, breaks free from the Symbol family surname thanks to her horse girl demeanor.

She is just as her name suggests—a doe‑coated horse girl who always has a gentle smile.

That gentleness is consistent inside and out, making her seem out of place in the family.

But this is not something the elder brother needs to worry about.

Only the weak need to adapt to the environment; the strong only trample and even change it.

Compared to horse girls, humans are the weaker side.

As the daughter of the family head, as a horse girl of the horse‑girl lineage, Sweet Moon Goddess, even if innocent and kind, can still grow healthily within the family, encountering few setbacks or obstacles.

This makes the elder brother envious, longing, and even… jealous.

The mother's care and the family's favoritism all converge, forming that silvery‑white gentle moon phase.

That is Sweet Moon Goddess; standing quietly there, she can bear all ideals related to the moon.

Romantic and wonderful

But the other moon must chase and pick at that speck of light.

Otherwise it will be completely shrouded in darkness.

Moon Rush Symbol exists bearing that pallid moon phase.

—The pallid pattern spreads, enchanting and bone‑eroding.

【Should Not Abandon Freedom】

Even with his sister's concern, that mere gentle strength is not enough to change his environment.

Even the harshness of that environment will only intensify.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions; perhaps his mother, even when giving birth to him, could already foresee his future from his human identity.

That is why she gave him such a name.

The name Moon Rush is not an expectation for the child's future, but the first admonition given to his son.

Even though you are human, not a horse girl.

But you must still gallop.

Only then can you obtain some radiance.

Rights, status, recognition… no matter what, you must strive for them, strive with all your might.

Contend with the clansmen, contend with your own sister.

Like striving to chase the pale moon of the wandering moon, even if impossible to catch up or surpass it, at least you can narrow the distance.

Only then can you barely qualify to pick up and gather the radiance that the other either overlooks or discards.

Even if it is only a speck.

Even if you can only show your own pallid aspect, you will not fall into utter darkness.

This is the only way out for you, born as the eldest son of the family head yet existing as a human.

It is even the sole means of survival.

—The deafening throbbing is the struggle to survive and live.

—Showing a distorted vitality unwilling to fade into darkness.

【Cannot Relinquish Freedom】

Just when the brilliance of both moons had stabilized, the pallid moon had a steady galloping orbit, and the romantic moon also had the time it could revolve around the Earth.

The sudden tragedy was like a warning.

The intermittently bright and dim pallid moon still exists, while the gentle, warm ideal moon has already dissipated.

It has nothing to do with the mother, yet it is also related to the mother.

After all, it is precisely the indulgence of the speed symbol that has made the family's environment increasingly tense and dangerous, inviting those terrorist attacks provoked by the Symbol family's external claims.

Having long accepted countless glories from the ideal moon ahead, it was targeted by the actively encroaching darkness.

And that pallid moon, which even darkness does not regard, clinging to life, witnessed all that followed.

The Symbol family head's ordered brutal counterattack, the new moon (luna) opposed to the mother, and…

His lingering fear and emptiness.

The moon that had always stood ahead has vanished.

Longing, envy, and jealousy all turned into actual wistfulness, emptiness, and fear.

It's time to realize.

It's no longer the time to contend for splendor.

It's no longer the time to be self-satisfied merely by seeking stability.

Even his sister, who shone like stars surrounding the moon, could hardly bear the filth left by the previous generation.

What he needs to oppose should not be that successor of the sweet moon goddess who inherited her nickname (Luna), the successor moon (Ludaofu Xiangzheng).

And that should be everything of everything!

——Size, enough to destroy everything.

——Ferocity, enough to sweep away the filth.

He has found his place, using his sister as a reference.

All things need a reference point in order to determine their position.

Just as the moon revolves around the Earth, the Earth revolves around the Sun.

No matter how distant they are, two beings can still establish a connection through this.

Without a doubt.

In this family that he has never liked, regardless of whether he wishes to acknowledge it, the sweet moon goddess who treats him sincerely remains his connection, and moreover his reference point on his course.

Even if it has passed, even if it has vanished, that silvery-white moonlight still seems to be far away, making clear to him where his course lies.

Now that the course has been confirmed, the next step needs no further explanation.

He has waited too long.

He has held back too long.

There will be no more sudden blow like today's, nor will there be another perfect opportunity like today's.

No need for commercial conservatism, no need for petty timidity.

He raised aloft almost all the power he had gathered so far, carrying with him fifty years of repression, distortion, and hatred, and launched the most direct, most violent resistance against the past world!

Now!

Here!

In the midst of a howl that undoubtedly vents pain, madness, repression, and all emotions——

——Pale white moon patterns spread across a huge twisted flesh form, a huge monster with multiple beastly traits, upon its first appearance, instantly triggered the alarm installed in the Xiangzheng family's buildings.

It also activated a barrier generator, like a fire hydrant box, essential for large buildings and even public facilities.

But in the very next moment, the barrier of the altered space was shattered by the giant beast that was simultaneously collapsing and regenerating, repairing itself.

Before the threat level's imminent increase could trigger a stronger round of coordinated composite barrier deployment, the ancient building complex of the Xiangzheng family had already been truly destroyed.

Moreover, countless members who were already indoors were covered by its massive body simply standing there.

A colossal beast over a kilometer tall and over a hundred meters long is perfect egalitarianism; the fate of horse girls and humans alike is equality.

The only difference lay in the few guards present, and a certain Source Energy Assessment C-grade Eight Crown King horse girl, who had the qualification to withdraw unharmed.

But that was only a qualification.

When the many-eyed stitched monster beast recovered from its pain, and multiple gazes locked onto the unconscious target of attack, even the emperor among the horse girls, bearing the posture of an old man running, could not help but freeze in place.

Moreover… where should he flee?

Nowhere to escape!
