After the battle, the clouds cleared, and sunlight once again bathed the land of Wuji Star. However, Uzona's absence cast an invisible shadow over everyone. Though the warriors of Wuji Star celebrated their victory, they understood that the war was far from over. Uzona remained a significant threat, a Damocles sword hanging over their heads.
Noah and Charlotte stood on the city wall, looking out over the battlefield. Noah gently held Charlotte's hand, feeling the warmth and slight tremor in her palm. Turning back, he saw Charlotte's father, Taixu, glaring at them holding hands. Noah quickly let go, smiling awkwardly. However, Taixu's wife, Charlotte's mother, gently patted Taixu's shoulder, signaling him not to be too harsh.
"Father, I know you're worried about me," Charlotte said, her voice carrying a mix of comfort and determination. "But Noah and I will protect Wuji Star together."
