What will be the result?
To personally destroy the hope held within one's heart is utterly cruel to a person. If only despair remains, people won't even have the courage to continue fighting.
The closer to this point, the more people need a light ahead to guide them towards the direction they should proceed. Whether it's hope or fantasy, regardless of whether the result is complete victory or all efforts turning to waste, once you choose to abandon the struggle, all possibilities cease to exist!
Sorrow weighed on their hearts, not to mention they couldn't defeat this world-renowned entity, even if they could, they dared not act casually.
