"This can only be considered balanced... but, let me say something."

Leoz smiled:

"Compared to my dear mom, Lai Anding, you're really good to me."

〖Leoz, no, Li Aozi.〗

Rednaya lightly clapped her hands:

〖How does it feel to become human?〗

"I quite like it." Leoz said, "Are you leaving here?"

〖I also like the taste of eternity.〗

Rednaya said:

〖Your life is not wonderful at all, but I will tidy it up.〗

"I understand, you are already Arstala, next, you will do what Arstala needs to do."

Li Aozi picked up Mikhail:

"Then what should I do?"

〖Enjoy your life, or do what you want.〗

Rednaya's face burned with bright blue starfire, she turned around and pushed open the sea's gate:

〖Farewell, Li Aozi.〗

After speaking, she stepped through the gate, which closed.

Click.

The warhorse-like Li Aozi blinked.

It was dawn in the East, with Yawen snuggled beside him.

The wind quietly blew over San Francisco, he and his troops were about to settle in the palace. In the days to come, humanity's strongest warrior, Li Aozi, would write an exciting tale of adventure.

Undoubtedly, this would be a beautiful life.

Only belonging to Li Aozi, a happy ending.

"Woof meow baa chirp?"

Mikhail stood on his shoulder, Li Aozi smiled and continued to ride onward.

"Oooh, Leoz—ouch!"

Yawen lowered her head, nearly falling onto the horseback, quickly supporting her growing belly. Looking around, she saw Li Aozi with a little Stitched Monster on his shoulder, leaving the team and heading north alone. Her heart tightened as she quickly shouted:

"Where are you going? Li Aozi, are you leaving me alone again?!"

"Oh! You're awake."

Li Aozi turned his head, looked at Yawen, and smiled at her:

"Darling, I'm going to do something earth-shaking. I'll be back soon."

"Liar!"

Yawen clenched her clothes, shouting loudly:

"But we're about to reach San Francisco, we said we'd settle here, didn't we? Leaving suddenly now, is it to deal with something more dangerous?"

"Oh my..."

Li Aozi shrugged, couldn't help but say:

"Not insecure nor a love-struck [Tailor], really smart."

If it weren't for the inconvenience of pregnancy, Yawen really wanted to rush up and drag Leoz back, but now she could only watch him walk farther away, continuing to shout:

"You liar! Our child is due in six months, I don't want you to go on adventures! Come back! Li Aozi, you heartless man, are you going to find some beauty? Idiot! Don't leave!"

"In a sense, you really got it right."

Li Aozi waved his hand, looking at the indignant Yawen, he sincerely remarked:

"Miss Yawen, you know? Your confidence and rationality facing someone you like surpasses all the beauties and wonders of this world."

"— Silvertongued, hurry back."

Yawen's cheeks turned Scarlet, she turned aside and said:

"No matter what you say, I don't want to be away from you. If you're determined to do something, at least tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Alright."

Li Aozi turned around, seriously said to her:

"Respected Miss Yavin Heskixin, I want to destroy the world, dominate all living things, and make them part of my control."

Such absurd words would only cause embarrassment and shame when spoken under normal circumstances.

But Yawen only pondered for a moment, then asked:

"... How many enemies will you face?"

"I don't know, at least one I suppose."

"Is he very strong?"

"Strong, so strong that being stronger than her is meaningless, so strong that being weaker can't defeat her."

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean you can only defeat her when evenly matched? But two evenly matched people fighting still have a fifty percent chance of losing."

Yawen asked worriedly:

"Li Aozi, why are you going to face such an opponent?"

"For what indeed?"

Li Aozi shrugged:

"For a meal with four dishes and a soup."

"Be serious."

"Because I want to."

Li Aozi teased the little Mikhail on his shoulder, said gently:

"It's not that I'm fighting her for some specific reason, but because I want to fight. Just like how Lanan likes to eat fish snacks, Oshen loves the sea, Elevent is passionate about creation, Night Fighting Sword amusingly fails at crucial moments..."

"That doesn't seem like a reason."

"And, just like I like you."

Li Aozi raised his head, looked at Yawen:

"Like, just like. I want to do it because I want to."

He clenched his fist and said solemnly:

"I don't know why I want to fight her, but I have an absolute reason not to lose to her."

"I want to win, I must defeat her, no matter who she is, I just want to beat her! It's not about proving something, it's just because I want to do it, as a 'human', I want to fight her!"

"Reason, no particular reason."

"Whether saving Earth or destroying Starry Abyss, I don't care about those things, as a human, I am selfish, I just want to simply fulfill my own wishes!"

Li Aozi fiercely punched toward the sky, righteously shouting:

"Therefore, I want to destroy this world, not let it develop freely, but transform and innovate it according to my will, the 'Will' as a human, a selfish, only fitting my thoughts, and a world not perfect at all."
