Aren't you going in?

Too many people.

I don't want to disturb Mr. Yang.

I'll come back later.

You know the end of blessing erosion is either death

or becoming one of the Blessed Ones, right?

Have you thought about what you'll do

when he becomes one of them?

What's the point of saying this now?

Maybe facing it head-on

is the only way to fight the Void.

You've only known him for a few days.

What do you know?

Do you know how many people he's saved

and how many Blessed Ones he's killed?

You know nothing.

But he's still just

a person.

I'm leaving.

(The Void's Edge)

(Chief Director Baxi)

(Episode 8)

Sorry to bother you.

Take a seat.

Mr. Yang.

Feeling any better?

Don't worry.

I can still hold up.

You saved me that time.

I haven't properly thanked you yet.

Ten years ago, you were a novice,

and now you can take charge.

That's the best gratitude for me.

And back then, I just happened to be there.

There's no need to mind it.

No.

If you hadn't sent me

to Sandbar for protection ten years ago,

I wouldn't be here today.

The doctor's death

was truly unfortunate.

By the way, Mr. Yang,

why did you go to see my parents back then?

I had some questions about blessed energy,

and you know,

the Black Isle Institute of Blessed Creatures is the authority on that,

so I went to consult the doctor.

I didn't expect

they would meet with an accident.

Don't dwell on the past.

What matters is that you survived.

That's what the doctor would have wanted.

Yeah.

And

I want to be a hero like you, Mr. Yang,

to protect the people of Sandbar and the base.

Wayne says

I can't fight anymore.

Now,

I'm just a useless coward.

No.

Maybe from the beginning,

I was just lucky enough,

a coward wrapped in the trappings of a hero by fate.

As long as you're alive,

there are still many things worth doing.

General.

Sister Nine.

General.

Mr. Yang.

Please carry on.

We're both old now.

Let the young ones handle the fighting.

Seeing them

reminds me of our battles back in the day.

But

now Felix is gone,

and

I'm just a cripple.

Tell me,

after everything we've done,

what was it for?

If I had worn the Armament Aegis back then,

you wouldn't be suffering now.

I failed to protect everyone.

All these years,

I've been searching for a way to avoid becoming a monster.

But in the end,

I had to return to Sandbar.

Sister Nine,

Red Shadow is my only hope.

(Sugar Water Shop)

Someone's been asking about Red Shadow recently.

The map marks the places they've searched.

Based on this map,

I think

Red Shadow is most likely in the ancient battlefield.

And the previous break-in at the General's Manor,

they were probably looking for the item sealing Red Shadow.

It seems to be

a token.

Do you know where the token is?

Yeah.

About the Shade of Blessing controlling the Blessed Ones,

do you have any more intel?

According to Black Isle's network,

none of the Shade of Blessing members have this ability.

So,

they must have acquired it in Sandbar.

Oh,

almost forgot, there's intel

about their next move.

As expected, it's not working.

Everyone,

I'll now report on our recent work.

The tactics for defending against Void Singularity

have been fully deployed.

Also,

regarding the Shade of Blessing's ability to control the Blessed Ones,

we still haven't found a way to counter it.

Any further intel on

the Shade of Blessing's movements?

Not at the moment,

but all signs indicate they will act soon.

Given the current state of our base's defenses,

we can only withstand two waves of attacks at most.

Raymond,

you need to start evacuating Sandbar's residents.

This time, the security squad

needs to support the base in the defense.

Understood.

There's a special situation here.

Based on Mr. Yang's diagnosis,

the blessed energy within him is highly unstable.

Mr. Yang…

could turn into a Blessed One at any moment.

Should we prepare a response plan?

Is there any way to suppress the energy spread?

Once he mutates,

his power

might surpass any Blessed One we've ever faced.

I see.

Kevin,

prepare the necessary combat measures.

Yes,

General.

Based on Shania's combat data,

the Lion Bell System's load on the Star Destroyer Armor is negligible.

The biggest problem

is the high output burden on the pilot.

The energy pack can only support the Lion Bell System for 99 seconds.

Adjust the maximum output

and linear output data.

If I adjust it like this…

Hey, Kevin.

What should I do?

Hey!

If I adjust it like this…

Wake up.

You scared the hell out of me.

Shania,

could you not suddenly appear in front of me?

I called you several times.

You just didn't hear me.

Sorry,

I was adjusting the Star Destroyer Armor's data.

I want to

finish it quickly.

With your skills,

finishing this shouldn't be a problem, right?

After upgrading it,

what problem do you want to solve?

I don't know.

Is it about Mr. Yang?

I don't know how to face Mr. Yang if he becomes a Blessed One.

He

is my savior

and the backbone of Sandbar.

If humans could have steel-built bodies

like this armor

and enhance their cores by adjusting data,

I believe

you wouldn't have so many worries.

But the reality is,

the caution and timidtiy within your hearts

can't be adjusted or deleted by data.

Including himself,

everyone has written expectations into Yang Jie's heart.

He has to make his exterior stronger.

But,

who truly cares about his real thoughts?

When the time comes,

your immediate reaction will be your true choice.

I'm talking about Mr. Yang

and you too.

My true choice.

You'll find the answer

when the time comes.

Since you're here,

why not stay and help me?

You're really taking it for granted.

You owe me two sodas.

So,

you're also interested in music?

There are many beautiful things in this world waiting for me.

Good music is one of them.

He's here.

Let me go help him.

Long time no see,

my old friend.

What are you doing here, you jerk?

What a heavy punch.

It's a pity I never sparred with you

at your peak.

Evan,

it's all your fault I ended up like this!

Buddy,

it takes two to tango.

Sandbar is just too greedy,

including your revered Felix.

Felix wasn't like that.

Back then, you were just Felix's tagalong.

How much of the truth do you really know?

At least Felix wasn't a hypocrite like you,

willing to betray friends to achieve your goals.

Yang Nine and Marshall Barr

are the real hypocrites.

They made you wear the Armament Aegis to fight.

Now that you're useless,

they kick you aside.

Shut up!

My old friend,

if you keep fighting like this, you'll end up just like me,

a Blessed One.

You've fought Blessed Ones your whole life,

and now you're no different from me.

Are you really okay with that?

Why do you care?

We have a common goal.

There's no way

I share a goal with you.

Don't you want to use Lord Red Shadow's power

to cure your blessing erosion?

Look at yourself now.

Do you still have a choice?

Right now,

only we can save you.

No.

We'll distract Sandbar's forces.

Unlocking Lord Red Shadow's token

is up to you.
