"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how.

Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

A Shard made entirely of orange momentum pierced through the atmosphere, moving with extreme calm and smoothness, passing through the air without causing the slightest disturbance around it.


The Shard merely continued looking downward as it traveled, searching among everything beneath it while quietly observing the changing scenery...


It was searching for someone who had recently fallen under everyone's gaze and attracted more attention than ever before, while at the same time observing the obscure beauty it could never grow tired of no matter how often it witnessed it—the beauty of the endless Land of Eternal Shelter, a place whose appearance continued to change whenever it ventured toward a new region or turned its attention toward another distant spot.
