Chapter 62: Spirit Invasion Part 6

Three Days Later;

Misaka, Rose, and everyone in the town walked in front of a large statue of Tyler, placing a white floor in front of it.

The whole city was crying, and not just the city, but even the heavens were crying.

Rain kept pouring for three days.

Among all people, Misaka, Rose, and Alena had blank expressions.

They didn’t know how to process this information. They couldn’t process it.

Their lord was dead.

He died, detonating his core and taking down his enemy with him.

And that one didn’t even die.

It was after Misaka used all of her strength, anger, and sadness, with a core injury caused by Tyler’s self-destruction, that it died.

The fate was joking with them. They couldn’t understand how someone as kind as their lord could be killed.

Was there no justice in this world?

Even doing good things would only lead to the death of a good person?

It was so sad that heaven couldn’t stop crying for days.

As they stood in his room, a suit of armor controlled by Ace showed a visual projection. It belonged to their Lord.

"Hey, this is a last-minute video. I really hope I don’t have to show this. But I have a bad feeling about this."

"So, if I am going to leave behind something, what should I say? I don’t know. It feels weird to leave behind a memorial even though I want to live."

"But I have a feeling that Misaka and Rose will stop functioning, and Alena will feel very sad about my death."

"I hope others will feel the same way, but I am more concerned about Misaka and Rose."

"I have put Ace into my suit. As long as my suit survives, you two should be able to see this."

"But I am also worried that you might not survive. I hope you do. I really hope so."

"If I die in this battle, I really want you to change this world for me. It’s funny that I will be dying because of something good I did."

"But I still believe this world needs to be changed. Because if this war is caused by positive karma, then that means I am moving towards the right direction."

"I failed, but someone must succeed. Someone who is stronger than me, talented as me, and has my resources."

"Misaka, I am leaving everything in your hands. I have granted you the full authority over Ace."

"And, Rose, please support Misaka!"

"Anyway, that’s enough of the nonsense. I don’t want to die here. I will try my best to survive. And, believe me, I will."

"So, that’s all I have to say. Goodbye!"

As he said that, the video turned off, leaving everyone in the room speechless.

After a long silence, John spoke.

"Miss Misaka, you must finish what Lord started. You are the spark he left behind. You are the only one who can complete his mission."

Saying so, he turned around and left with Alena.

He couldn’t accept his Lord’s death, but he made sure they upheld his dream and fulfilled it.

"It’s funny how I am the one who lived with him for a year, but he put all of his dreams on you."

Rose sounded like chuckling, but her face was stained with tears.

Sure, Misaka had a hundred percent loyalty and some feelings towards Tyler, but Rose was even more loyal towards him and had a lot of feelings for him.

She wasn’t conflicted that he chose Misaka over her. She just couldn’t accept that he would leave behind a death message.

What did it mean?

It meant Tyler had a feeling that he might perish in this battle, but he chose to fight.

Could he have escaped?

Yeah! He had that chance. He could’ve left his city and entered the country.

With his power, he could’ve easily hidden himself in the country until those spirits retreated.

Even if he was exposed after that, he still had the ability to run away.

As long as he wanted to hide, he could’ve survived.

But he didn’t.

He neither hides himself nor chooses to run away.

He fought and died fighting.

She clenched her fist. She wanted to destroy this city. She knew this city was the reason why her Lord stayed behind.

But deep down, she also knew it was solely due to his ideals and dreams.

But she couldn’t accept it.

At this moment, Ace, who had gone silent for a long time, spoke.

"There is a piece of information in my data bank. It is just a rumor, though."

Both of them raised their heads at the same time. They wanted to see if it was another message, but what Ace revealed shook them.

"If a person surpasses Ninth Rank and awakens Space-Time ability, there is a possibility that the person can go back in time to save others."

When he said that, both Misaka and Rose had their eyes widen for a moment.

It was just a theory, a piece of information that could be considered a rumor.

But they needed it. They needed this kind of information to survive and fulfill their Lord’s dream.

At this moment, Misaka turned towards Rose and spoke with a serious face.

"Rose, help me change the world! So, when our Lord returns, he will no longer need to work hard."

Rose took a deep breath. At this moment, she forgave this city, no, she forgave Tyler for making such a decision.

As a subject of her Lord, as a maid of her Lord, she had a responsibility to make his life better.

She could never do this before. Only now she had a chance.

Misaka was right. They must change the world so that when their Lord returns, he can live in a beautiful world.

She clenched both of her hands before loosening her right hand as she extended it towards Misaka.

"Let’s do it!"

Her eyes blazed with determination.

Misaka cracked a smile for the first time in three days and said.

"For our Lord!"

"For our Lord!"
