Chapter 187: Nihility
Is that sun on the horizon the lingering glow of a setting sun, hanging at the edge of the sky? Or is it the first light of dawn, heralding the rise of a new day?
Masatsuki Aozaki had no way of knowing. Because that sun simply hovered there—neither rising nor setting.
The afterglow of twilight seemed to drape Yahweh's face in a golden veil, while the light of the rising sun bathed Masatsuki Aozaki's figure, making him shine brilliantly.
"Won't you come with me?"
Masatsuki Aozaki asked softly.
At that moment, the sunlight fell upon Yahweh's face, illuminating it even more. Yahweh froze for a brief moment, a rare look of surprise flashing across his face. Then, he chuckled and shook his head.
"Don't be afraid. The path is wide... You won't be alone."
His voice was quiet, yet it reached Masatsuki Aozaki's ears clearly.
With those words, Yahweh slowly turned and walked away, his figure gradually fading into the endless sea of clouds.
Masatsuki Aozaki stood motionless, as still as a statue. He placed a hand over his chest, as if feeling the warmth of his own heartbeat.
The world around him fell into an unnatural silence.
