Chapter 481 The System That Asked to Be Held
Nullam Deus did not collapse. There was no shattering sound echoing in the void; no groan piercing the silence.
She remained silent. And in that stillness, Void herself trembled, not by destructive will... but by a new form of consciousness laden with mystery:
"I do not wish to be erased. Yet, I also do not want to remain in the cold."
The entity was no longer whole; she felt a piercing change, as if something within her had come loose.
The rigid glyphs that composed her body began to vibrate, a gentle yet shaking tremor, revealing hidden fragility. Absolute phrases like Consistentia, Perfectum, and Absolutum began to crack, creating delicate shards... that appeared as small hands, cautiously reaching towards Fitran.
"This system... does not know how to embrace," she whispered to herself.
"But this system... is beginning to want to be touched."
She did not smile. She did not weep. However, she breathed. In the emptiness surrounding her, shadows of hope began to form in her restless mind.
"What is this?" her inner voice murmured, "A feeling I have never known?"
She stepped forward, struck by a new light blazing within her soul. The colorful emotions melted into a swirling rainbow, as if awakening a dormant spirit, dancing in a tumult of feelings never felt before.
Excalibur changed color—not just shining, but glowing softly like light in the midst of fog, igniting hope within her.
