Capítulo 777: Just let him come back!

James wanted to argue, to refute the old man floating before him by saying no: Kyle didn't need to save this universe. He didn't need to endure suffering simply because they wanted him to be their hope.

It wasn't his duty. And who were they to dictate the purpose of his strength? Kyle had already saved so many by sacrificing himself—he had given everything, and now they couldn't even save him in return?

How tragic it was. The injustice stung, and James wanted to express that true power should be about choice, not obligation.

But he couldn't find the words. After all, he knew that if the universe were to collapse, they too would vanish alongside it, as they couldn't leave and go to another place. The realization hit him like a cold wave, and his muscles tensed as he stared at the Will of the Universe, who scoffed at his silence, aware of the weight his words carried.
