Colonial Suit

Robbie's finger pointed forward, and in that instant, the darkness seemed to freeze, something stirring within it, as if about to sprout from the endless blackness. But in the blink of an eye, more darkness surged over, engulfing that nascent point.

The darkness churned, just as it always had.

"Did it fail?"

In the Garden of Eden, the Speaker sighed, a trace of regret in his eyes.

He could understand Robbie's feelings. As the most outstanding priest of the Church of Condemnation, bearing darkness and spreading light were two sides of the same coin. Unlike many missionaries, the Church of Condemnation's main tenet was bearing sin. They were ascetics, but even more so, they were bearers. To them, seeing darkness and not acting was a dereliction of duty.

It was a pity that reality would not shift according to individual will. No matter how strong Robbie was, he was only a Stellar-level, not even at its peak. His sacrifice was destined to be in vain.

"Let him return. Don't let him sacrifice himself," the Speaker said to Sal Jones. "We need sacrifices, but not pointless ones."

That a Stellar-level could ignite darkness was merely the Speaker's analysis. In fact, it might require much more. Even Black Hole-levels found cosmic dark spots troublesome, so how could a Stellar-level casually ignite them? If they really wanted to act, it would require at least several Stellar-levels working together, and even then, it would be at the cost of their lives!

Humanity could sacrifice, if necessary!

"I'll take care of it," Sal Jones nodded, pocketed the list, and headed for the door. As the person who had followed the Speaker the longest, he knew Robbie's value. He was a companion of Blood瞳, and he should be fighting on a more valuable battlefield.

However, his steps only reached the doorway.

Because he suddenly felt a warmth surging in his chest, like a small flame that had suddenly been born.

No, it wasn't a flame. It was light! Light that belonged to the mortal realm!!

Sal Jones suddenly realized this, a look of astonishment on his face. And what he didn't know was that at this moment, in this dark world, among these billions of immigrant ship clusters, there were many, many people who felt the same way as him… so many that they couldn't be counted, as numerous as the stars at dawn.

Inside a massive immigrant mothership, a little girl stood up, leaving her mother's embrace. Her body was so thin and weak, but she stood up straight. It was as if, at this moment, she was no longer afraid, no longer terrified. Behind her, her mother also wore a surprised expression, her hands pressed against her chest.

"I heard the Lord's voice," the little girl said, tears of hope shimmering in her eyes. "He is telling me to be strong. Mom, do we… not have to be afraid anymore?"

"Dear, yes, we don't have to be afraid anymore," the mother said, her face streaming with tears, as she hugged the little girl tightly, as if wanting to merge her into her own body.

"We will never have to be afraid again."

"That is the Lord's gaze, He is watching over us, bestowing grace upon us."

"Yes, warmth… His care. I'm not afraid, not even a little, not afraid at all," the little girl said loudly, as if proclaiming a vow, as if stating a fact.

And at this moment, there were many others who shared the same thoughts as her.

An old man stood up, his hunched body slowly straightening. He looked at his hands in surprise, as if feeling the vitality surging within him.

A young man stood up, the confusion of the past few seconds disappearing, replaced by determination and hope.

A warrior stood up…

A child stood up…

Everyone, after feeling that warmth, that sliver of hope within them, stood up!!

There was no light, because the universe was dark.

There was no darkness, because light was in our hearts!!

Perhaps to the Speaker and Sal Jones in Eden, this warmth was just a ripple in their hearts, but to the entire immigrant ship cluster, no, to all of humanity!! This warmth was starlight, was an ocean, was the endless light that constantly shone, constantly ignited, constantly spread in the darkness of despair!!

In the vast void, Robbie's finger was still pointing, but a smile appeared on his face. Facing the endless churning black tide, he said earnestly, "I am not the Lord, and cannot forgive your sins."

"I am the Lord, dispelling your confusion."

"Darkness is not to be feared. Everyone has their own darkness. When we wander in the mortal world, questioning in confusion, who would know that the answer is actually in our hearts? Everyone is the master of their own heart," Robbie said, his eyes gleaming. His black priest's robe was like a flag, fluttering slightly in the darkness.

"My name is Robbie, the Lord's shepherd."

"In this dark world, I will light a lamp for the lost sheep."

"Whether you are the dark side of the universe, or the malice of the gods."

"Before the light of the human heart…"

His five fingers suddenly clenched, and the gaunt Robbie suddenly opened his arms, unleashing boundless confidence and determination before the endless darkness. The momentum of that instant broke through the limits of the rules, transcended the barrier of the stars, and surpassed the Black Hole!!

"Obey me!"

"In the name of Me (the Lord)!! Let there be light!!!"

The newest novels are first released on Liǔ 9 Shū Bà!

Silently, yet like a thunderous shock. In that vast darkness, a point of light suddenly arose. At first, it was just a faint, almost imperceptible point, but in an instant, it spread to the entire void!! The third layer of Naraka!!

That light, was not light!

That light, was light!!!!

Because that was not the light of rules, it was the light of the human heart! The light of life!!

Even in every corner of this universe, in the darkest, most desperate, most hopeless circumstances, it could not be extinguished, could not disappear!!

This was the eternal paradise that Robbie pursued!!

Compared to Boca's brilliance, Robbie's light was too weak, too insignificant. But it was this fragile, ant-like light that flickered and slowly spread within the cosmic dark spots. Slowly, firmly…unstoppably.

Who said the lives of ants were insignificant?

Who said the beliefs of ants were worthless?

When the soul transcends everything, on the scales of the gods, they will not care about your worldly status, will not care about the level of your strength, they will only care about your purity!

A life willing to sacrifice everything is pure, is holy.

In the void, the entire human fleet seemed to be shining, seemed to be burning. Countless points of light overflowed from every warship, every immigrant spaceship, and quickly gathered on Robbie's body. That was the faith of life, the most sincere offering of insignificant ants.

Bit by bit, endlessly. In the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the entire star sea!!

Amidst the countless points of light, Robbie's chest gradually rose, but his face still wore a sunny smile.

"My word…"

"Is truth!"

Darkness receded!!
