Chapter 121: Chapter 121: System's Inheritance

In his final moments, Fathoran's mind raced through a kaleidoscope of memories and realizations:

"Together? The only ones who work together are your family. The others don't care about you. No... Even your own family betrays you! There can only be one leader! I was with..."

"Yes, Creator, 'family' is the most important,"

The echo of Elio's firm response reverberated in his fading consciousness:

"No! Seeking freedom is not betrayal. You betrayed the city, you betrayed us all by hiding the truth!"

"Every decision you make, every action you take, could be the difference between victory and extinction..."

His own declaration of intent haunted him:

"Then I'll eliminate you all together."

"I leave you with your people, Fathoran. Guide them, strengthen them, prepare them. Because if we fail, if the Goddess wins... there will be no second chance."
