The Moon, within the core of the destroyed star.
The massive, monumental lunar core, inspiring yearning, held the scenes of the final battle from back then.
Within the space, destroyed beyond its original form, the cores of the Machine Gods Prosperity and Justice were slowly repairing.
At this rate of repair, it would take several decades for the two powerful Machine Gods to awaken.
But breaking the silence of this space, as one of the cores began to twist and spin rapidly, it seemed to have received some strange signal, spinning frantically.
Faster, and faster still, the speed increased endlessly until, after a moment, the core named Machine God Justice finally split. A small piece of the core manifested separately, beginning to develop independent thought within the planet.
"Confirming awakening... Awakening successful."
"Program starting... Start failed..."
"Program starting... Start failed..."
After countless failed attempts, the core of the Machine God Justice finally started successfully.
"Start successful!"
Originally a man-made Machine God, entirely mechanical, the artificial Machine God instantly burst forth with infinite magical energy.
Seemingly calculating something, after a moment, this mechanical god of justice seemed to confirm something, and its entire form began to change.
"Mode change. Gender established as female. Constructing appearance..."
The vast database contained the countless knowledge of the Lunar Civilization. Under the baptism of that knowledge, the mechanical god transformed towards a human direction.
After a moment, a perfect body, as if meticulously carved by God, no, perhaps even more so, was finally born.
"Master confirmed. Identity: Earth King. True Name: Takami Ryuya. Former names: Isbel Pendragon, Bloodriver Brunestud."
Her flawless and divinely exquisite countenance surpassed human imagination. Looking at her own form, Justice thought for a moment and decided she needed clothes.
As her eyes, brilliant like the scorching sun, focused, a traditional Chinese cheongsam appeared on its... or rather, her body.
Reaching out to lightly touch the prison cage of the lunar core, Justice easily destroyed this world that imprisoned her.
Her target was the direction of Earth. At this moment, her thoughts were chaotic. She didn't know whether she should destroy humanity or save it. But before that, she knew she needed to find her Master.
That person was her everything. No reason, no logic, no need for cause. Simply because he was the Master. That was enough.
Boom!
With a loud roar, the Annihilation Machine God flew towards Earth.
Heading towards the place called the Millennium Castle.
[Under Crimson Moon's care, you grew as the Earth King.]
[Different from your previous life's experience, because you were born with the title of Earth King in this life and blessed by Gaia, your growth speed was astonishing. In just one year, you reached adult form. Although your power was still insufficient, this speed surprised all the True Ancestors.]
["Blood, you truly are a natural-born King."]
[Feeling an inexplicable familiarity with your existence, Crimson Moon didn't know why she had these feelings, but she understood her emotions towards you were completely different from towards others.]
[Sighing at your growth, the Moon King in a pure white dress walked slowly through the tranquil garden.]
[As a casually cast spell unfolded, the bright moon under the sky shone brilliantly, singing praises to the Moon King's beauty.]
[Lifting his head, the young Earth King looked at the familiar figure. Those crimson eyes were full of faint smiles and suppressed love.]
[Gently holding Crimson Moon's hand, you expressed that no matter who you were, you would always stay by Crimson Moon's side.]
["Don't just say sweet things, Blood."]
[Even though she had only known you for a year, having watched the small infant grow at an unimaginable speed, Crimson Moon felt she had known you for decades.]
[She felt the greatest expectations from you, intertwined into primal longing.]
[Under the gaze of the night and the moon, the Moon King's hand unconsciously held the Earth King's.]
"Blood, are you my nemesis?"
Gazing greedily at Ryuya, in Crimson Moon's eyes, the man before her was like her curse. She desired to devour him.
"Crimson Moon, I love you."
No longer hesitating about his feelings for Crimson Moon, Ryuya stared into her eyes. His gentle words made the Moon King freeze for a moment.
Quietly lifting her gaze, looking at Ryuya so close, Crimson Moon seemed to smell his pleasant scent and see the figure absorbing everything under the moonlight.
'So strange, why is my heart beating faster?'
'Why, why does my body feel so warm?'
As the primeval True Ancestor, the Moon King Crimson Moon had never known warmth. The heat transmitted from Ryuya's palm made her dazed.
The closely touching skin connected the consciousnesses of the two planetary Kings.
"Blood, these are..."
As the memories from the previous simulation played out in her mind, Crimson Moon saw it… she saw the hand she absolutely did not want to let go of, and the person she could never forget.
"Blood, I love you. I am no longer... an unwanted child."
The loneliness of the Moon King, the planetary consciousness abandoned by humanity, had always been lonely.
But now, looking at Ryuya, Crimson Moon's memories transcended the barrier of time and space, returning to her.
"Blood... Blood, is it really you?"
Her exquisitely beautiful face bloomed with a bewitching charm, mixed with shyness and disbelief. The starlight dotting the world was the best rouge for Crimson Moon.
An existence as if forged by gods, her awe-inspiring appearance was astounding. Gently stroking Ryuya's cheek, Crimson Moon couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe she was truly seeing Ryuya, this person who should have died.
But!
A breeze brushed past. Confirming the person before her was real, Crimson Moon's voice was full of tremor.
[Through spiritual communication with the Moon King, Crimson Moon saw the memories of the previous simulation. She expressed that being able to have your company again was her most important fortune. This time, Crimson Moon did not reject you.]
[Finally becoming your wife, just as Crimson Moon said, there was an unbreakable connection between you and her. This bond was something she would never abandon, no matter what.]
[Expressing her desire to fight alongside you and completely destroy the man-made Machine Gods, one day, while you were discussing how to deal with the Machine God threat, a tremendous impact descended at that moment.]
[Boom!]
[Along with the surging magical energy, the Machine God named Justice descended. As the planetary Ultimate One, overflowing with divinity, an existence capable of destroying Earth, scanned her surroundings, her first sight was your figure.]
[Whoosh!]
[Charging forward without any regard, at a speed even Crimson Moon couldn't react to, she directly threw herself into your arms. The brain of the Machine God Justice instantly short-circuited as she kissed your lips without any restraint.]
Under Crimson Moon's utterly shocked gaze, the Machine God had arrived.
