Chapter 346 Meeting with Hades
Eastern Border of Gaia
A few days after the first Fractureborn conflict
That night, the sky was clear and cloudless.
Jeanne stood on the high cliff, gazing at the moonlit fields below.
Down below, the soldiers of Vita Harmonia were resting after a grueling battle.
Amid the twinkling stars, Jeanne felt a deep pull, as if each star had a story it longed to share—a tale not only linked to the souls of the weary warriors below but also reflecting their struggles and sacrifices on the battlefield. In her mind, visions of the past intertwined with hopes for the future, swirling together like an endless river, creating a current of profound and complex emotions that echoed the themes of loss and resilience.
The first Fractureborn was successfully subdued.
But Jeanne knew this was just the beginning.
In the depths of her heart, a question arose: did this victory truly mean anything? Behind every triumph, there were lost souls. Was the gain worth the pain left behind, achieving peace only to leave imprints of uncertainty in the hearts of those who remained? "Death teaches the meaning of life," she whispered to herself, recalling the gentle voice of her teacher who often imparted those values, now feeling ever more relevant and urgent in the context of her current life.
"Gaia Primordia is testing us."
"Tekhnos whispers of an unstoppable change."
