CHAPTER 23: ONE FROM AN UNENDING DREAM
Archbishop.
Our ambition shall be realized.
Glyph, you've made me proud.
I couldn't have done it without your guidance.
Come forth and bring us salvation!
The being closest to the first fairy, the being of ultimate divinity!
Come forth and bring the ideal world with you.
Marlya?
Are you hurt?
Thanks, Vero.
Are you alright? Can you get up?
They are gone. Both Ray Dawn and Glyph Mercer are gone.
Who was that man?
Minister of Fairy Marco Bellwood's lieutenant.
They are both executives of the Eins Order.
That cult plans to use the fairy-possessed and their fairy organs
for some plans of great horror.
They are going to revive the Divine Beast.
It's far worse than the War of Unification.
The cities and the whole country will be destroyed.
It might be our extinction.
They must be stopped, Vero.
Vero, you should go.
Run to somewhere safe.
Leave Rondacia for somewhere far away.
Are you going to leave me behind?
This mission comes with unimaginable risks.
Marlya...
All those years ago, I left you behind at Suna and ran away myself.
But...
But you did it to save me.
That was no excuse to leave a little girl like you behind.
I should have stayed and kept you safe.
But back then,
I was terrified.
Vero...
Time has changed.
You saved me when I was warped by grudge.
I will never leave you again.
I'll go with you and protect you.
We may not be related by blood,
but you are my family.
I can say the same about you.
You are all I have now.
No. I still have you. Which is why...
What was that?
Let's go.
The time of salvation has begun!
The time of utopia is upon us!
I can feel it.
It's slowly engulfing me.
It's the will of the fairies!
What was that?
It's begun.
Eizenkopf!
This meaningless fight must end now!
Morzneak!
Every fight has its meaning.
I can't disagree more.
There is the final showdown!
This is exhilarating.
I wish I could live in this moment forever.
Nothing lasts forever.
Indeed.
The peace you fought for will soon be shattered and obliterated.
We can always retrieve it.
You're fast.
Nothing lasts forever.
This moment is more than enough for me.
I will restore peace to this country
by any means necessary.
Colonel...
This is the final battle.
Lily!
Open fire!
Farewell, Colonel.
Damn it!
Director.
I'm alright.
Head for the palace now.
The beginning of everything, the first fairy,
please bring forth the ideal world.
The beginning of everything, the first fairy...
Why do you fight? What are you trying to protect?
Tell me!
Countless lives were lost to bring peace to this land.
I fight to maintain that peace.
Peace, you said?
Your family would still be alive if we had peace.
You wouldn't have lost them if it wasn't for the war!
Leave them out of this!
This must end now!
I'll end all hopes and despair!
I won't let it happen!
You reckless fool.
It won't end like this.
You've been in pain ever since they were taken from you.
You can't forget, so it must be agonizing.
Your despair has no end.
But you should make peace with your past and move on.
As long as people long for peace, hope will never perish.
It won't end this way!
It's humans who destroyed that very hope!
We are the culprits!
You just wouldn't forgive anyone.
Are you going to punish yourself too?
When this is over, there will be no sins and retributions.
Is that what you think?
Roar, Red Hood!
I'll cut you down!
Wolfran.
You still think about your loved ones.
That thought will never perish.
Humans have been foolish for ages.
We killed each other and destroyed everything.
Even so, people survived.
Their descendants lived on.
And so will the future generations.
No matter how many lives are lost,
even if the city and country are in ruin, it won't be the end!
Whatever you do, it's not going to end!
And now...
We can't let this be the end of us.
Why won't you kill me?
I'm not as merciful as you think.
Monster!
Run!
What is this thing?
I can feel the fairies' voices in my heart.
It's like a maelstrom of emotions.
It's like a darkness that engulfs everything.
Is this
the Divine Beast's power?
Can we even stop that thing?
I don't know, but we can't just sit and watch.
Indeed.
Get up, Marlya.
Thanks, Vero.
I'd be too scared to move if I were all alone.
No, I wouldn't take another step forward if I were here by myself.
Let's go, Vero!
Run!
Stop pushing!
Move aside!
Go to the palace, now!
What is going on here?
Things just got real ugly.
Chima?
Chima.
You're alright after all.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, let me through.
Damian Albastora.
Are you alright?
I made it here.
You're hurt.
I'll live. More importantly,
that thing is coming from the west side.
That thing? You mean the Divine Beast?
From the west side...
The Divine Beast did this?
Mount Panem?
Was there where the Divine Beast came from?
That means...
They must be in there.
Maybe they know a way to stop that thing.
Run for your life!
Run!
I feel like my head is splitting.
That's the voice of the Divine Beast.
It's still a fairy.
Only we can hear its true voice.
But I can't feel its consciousness.
It only wants to destroy and consume everything.
Fairies are supposed to maintain the balance of this world.
Why would it want to destroy the world?
Destroying the world...
If everything is wiped out,
it's still balance in a sense.
Creating balance from nothingness?
That's what it wants.
The Divine Beast's goal is total destruction.
Where is it going?
Over at the palace!
The palace?
I heard that people used to run to the palace during an emergency.
The Divine Beast's first target is to wipe out humanity.
That's why it's headed there.
We must hurry.
Glyph Mercer!
Such a wonderful view.
The ideal world is beginning to form.
Where is Marco Bellwood?
The Archbishop followed his belief and conscience.
He sacrificed himself to the Divine Beast.
Why?
That was his plan all along.
His kindness was beyond measure.
You call murdering innocent lives kindness?
It seems our ideals are conflicting.
You're an ignorant, foolish, shallow and dull grunt!
The ideal world is the new world that will soon be born.
You're not needed there.
That's a load of nonsense!
A savage from the time of war would never understand it.
I know someone must cleanse this world of people like you.
Worry not.
I will guide the survivors.
That is the noble duty given to me.
A fairy weapon?
And a fairy too?
Wolfran Row!
I'm a man without principles. You know that much.
Why are you here?
I'm here to put an end to a nightmare.
This place has been cleared.
Is there no way to take down that thing?
Is there nothing we can do from here?
It's too late. I failed to stop them.
Calm down! It's dangerous
-Open the door! -to be at the palace!
-What is the government doing? -You must leave Rondacia!
Let us through!
Stop wasting our time! Let us through!
It's too late!
The palace is the only place we can go!
It's our duty to protect this land.
But is there anyone who can save us now?
Run!
Sister!
I can't run anymore!
Hang in there.
Are you alright? Get up!
It hurts!
My leg hurts!
Just go without me. Save yourself.
No, we are getting out of there together!
Vero!
Where is your mother? Are you lost?
Yes.
Come with me.
Yes!
Vero!
This voice...
The Divine Beast doesn't want destruction. It's being forced to destroy everything.
Marlya.
Go on without me.
I must
free the Divine Beast.
You're not giving up, are you?
I believe in you, you must have faith in yourself too!
I have nothing to fear when you're with me.
"NEXT EPISODE, FREED SKY - JOINED HANDS" I can do it, I can set it free!
