Chapitre 1044: The Ultimate Choice

The past still haunted me.

The hard choice I'd had to make between my happy life with Emilia and the life I could have had with Karlia.

I thought I had settled it all, but I was dead wrong.

Once again, Karlia fought for my sake, causing her to experience an unbelievable amount of torture as a result.

She did it all for me.

And now I had a choice to make.

One person... or the entirety of existence.

It wasn't even meant to be a decision. It wasn't meant to take that much of a deliberation.

But... but...

"I can't abandon Karlia!"

"I can't abandon everyone!"

The cognitive dissonance only kept getting more severe the more I dwelled on it.

These two clashing ideologies made it impossible to make a decision and choose.

I had someone I loved other than Karlia, but I also loved Karlia dearly.

How could I make the right choice in this instance?

The answer appeared to me like an epiphany.

"I... I can do both."
