"I am ready".
"…"
"…"
"…..!"
Time seemed to freeze across the Minerva Star System.
Multiple races across the Minerva Star System were watching the broadcast, billions of people watched and they were captivated by that last speech.
Gaufrid did a good job with his speech.
Watching him, all the beasts felt sad but none of them felt a spirit of rebellion rising in them as the words of their leader settled into their head.
'Do not taint my legacy by being another version of me…'
'Prove to them that we are as sentient as they are!'
Billions of beasts spread across the Minerva Star System felt different emotions ranging from sadness to frustration, billions cried on behalf of their savior as they watched him bend the knee before the sword.
On his knees, Gaufrid faced the camera again.
"Do not cry because its ending, be happy because it happened".
