When Rozen walked out of the pagoda, the sky was already dark.
In Urukri, the sounds of smithing that had never stopped also stopped, causing the streets to be filled with a sense of desolation.
Standing on the steps of the pagoda's gate, Rozen surveyed the entirety of Uruk.
Right now, in Uruk, hundreds of thousands of citizens were doing their own things. Although there was no sound of smithing, it was still a lively scene.
Anyone who didn't know anything about this lively scene would definitely be immersed in the incredible feeling of an ancient night. It was a little beautiful and a little warm.
However, it was indeed a little unbelievable that such a beautiful and warm scene would appear at this time.
After all, outside of Uruk, countless Rahms were still attacking. Even looking up at the night sky, one could see black shadows flitting across. If it wasn't for the glowing barrier, Uruk would have become a terrifying city under attack by monsters.
In two days, Tiamat would also come to Uruk and launch the final attack on the humans of this era.
If they couldn't stop Tiamat, everyone would die in the end.
Gilgamesh didn't hide this at all and let Siduri explain it to the citizens.
In other words, the hundreds of thousands of citizens in Uruk actually knew that the end of the world was coming.
Not long after, perhaps everyone would die.
Even so, the citizens of Uruk didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. They actually accepted it calmly and lived their lives as they should.
If this was the modern era, such a scene would never happen.
Only in this era of gods, humans who were used to suffering and hardships would accept everything calmly like this.
After all, humans in this era had encountered many disasters as well.
Once, the Bull of Heaven, Gugalana, ravaged the earth and almost wiped out the human race.
In the past, Gilgamesh had left Uruk behind and headed to the Netherworld in search of immortal spirit herbs, leaving Uruk in a state of desolation and almost in ruins.
On top of that, Ishtar would attack Uruk every other day, and all kinds of legendary disasters would befall Uruk. The humans of this era had survived all kinds of crises until now.
Therefore, even if the end of the world came, even if humans were evil, they would not give up hope for the future, nor would they give up their love and desire for life.
To be honest …
"Coming to this singularity, what I admire the most isn't the Hero King Gilgamesh, nor is it the Great Magician Merlin. It's you, a bunch of ordinary and ordinary humans."
Rozen couldn't help but murmur those words.
Many people agreed with what he said.
"I think so too, Senior."
As soon as those words entered Rozen's ears, Rozen snapped out of his reverie and turned his head to look off to the side.
There, a familiar figure was waiting for him.
"So you're here? Matthew? "
Rozen was a little surprised.
The one who came was Mashu.
He saw that Matthew had already changed out of her battle attire. Just like when she first arrived at Uruk, she was wearing the exotic Sumerian clothing.
Obviously, Matthew had already returned to the embassy, but then she came to the Tower of God and had been waiting for Rozen.
"Everyone went through a day of battle. After returning to the embassy, they all went to rest. Only I couldn't sleep."
Matthew came to Rozen's side and stood side by side with Rozen.
However, Matthew would sneak a peek at Rozen's expression from time to time. After some deliberation, she said, "Miss Attila is also at the embassy.
"Miss Attila is also at the embassy. Although she did not show herself, I can feel it."
In other words, Matthew knew that no one was by Rozen's side, so she came to find Rozen.
"Did she go back to the embassy?" Rozen nodded and murmured, "Well, that's good too."
Otherwise, after learning about Attila's origin, Rozen really didn't know what kind of expression and mood he should have when facing her.
Matthew probably also noticed something from the situation and Rozen's reaction. She knew that both Rozen and Attila had something on their minds.
This made Matthew feel a little uncomfortable.
If possible, Matthew would like to share Rozen's worries.
Because there were too many things that Rozen had to bear.
The future of humanity needed Rozen to bear it.
The survival of humanity needed Rozen to bear it.
The redemption of human history needed Rozen to bear it.
Even the crisis and danger of this era, as well as the evil born from humanity's original sin and bestiality, needed Rozen to bear it.
Rozen had to bear too much.
Even though Matthew knew very well that Rozen didn't want to be a savior, nor did he want to save the world at all costs. He only came this far for the people around him and for the things he wanted to do. But it was undeniable that Rozen did work hard to grow to this point for many things.
After becoming Rozen's familiar, Matthew knew that Rozen's uniqueness was destined to make him the most transcendental person in the world.
However, this transcendence did not mean that Rozen had transcended the world. On the contrary, because he had met all kinds of people in all kinds of worlds, he had more fetters and bore more people's expectations and hopes.
This made Matthew feel proud of Rozen's achievements, but at the same time, she felt distressed.
Rozen's background was not much better than hers, but he forced himself to grow to this point, which was really not easy.
Now, the things Rozen had to bear were still increasing, and the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.
Under such circumstances, Matthew really wanted to share some of Rozen's burdens.
(Because of senpai, I can see the blue sky.)
(Because of senpai, my life has been redeemed.)
(Also because of senpai, I can put up a shield and fight all the way until now.)
It could be said that for the current Matthew, only Rozan Can could bring light to her life, and only then could it have meaning.
Therefore …
"Senpai."
Matthew raised her eyes and looked at Rozen.
"Hmm?"
Rozen turned his gaze and looked at Matthew.
At this look, Rozen was stunned.
Because Matthew was looking straight at him without hesitation, and her eyes were full of determination.
"No matter what, I will stay by senpai's side."
Matthew said such words.
"So, please remember, no matter what happens, I will always be here."
Such words directly entered Rozen's heart.
Rozen looked at Matthew in a daze, and it took him a while to recover.
Rozen could basically guess Matthew's intention, and he could also accept it.
This made his heavy heart feel a lot lighter, as if a warm current had been injected into it.
"Thank you, Matthew."
Rozen reached out and hugged Matthew.
Matthew was no longer as shy and embarrassed as before, and she obediently snuggled into Rozen's arms.
The two of them hugged each other in the center of Uruk in front of the tower, looking at the bustling and bustling city.
At this moment, both of them were thinking about the same thing.
"We must succeed."
"Yes."
That night, the last warmth flowed on this land, becoming the beauty of this era.
