The Guardian told the most equal truth from his unique point of view, and every sentence struck Zero’s heart.
“You were once sentenced to exile for pursuing a power you could not harness, are you now going to repeat the same mistake you made in the past?”
The Guardian knew exactly what grave mistake Zero had committed. When Zero heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head in disbelief, but then he picked it up firmly and said:
“You're right. I don't think I'm all that godly either. No matter how powerful I am, there must be lives that I cannot protect.”
“If that’s the case—”
“But this power still appeared to me. And, I also know of this power. If I give up now, then the next time I go to save someone, it would mean that I am not using 100% of my power. I'm not pursuing power for the sake of becoming stronger myself, I'm pursuing it so I can exert my full power to protect others!”
“Why are you guys so persistent……”
“Persistence doesn't need a reason. We're just used to guarding from a long time ago.”
Hearing that Zero’s words were not out of arrogance or pride, but rather calmly expressing his inner thoughts, the Guardian didn't know how to answer for a while. There was the longest silence between the two. Zero’s determined eyes looked upwards in a straight line. Finally, the Guardian said lightly.
“In a sense, this may also be a kind of equality.”
“Hmm?”
“Fine. I will grant you the chance for a trial.”
“…Thank you.”
Zero finally relaxed and expressed his gratitude to the Guardian.
“It's still too early to thank me. Fly into that vortex. If you can get out of the vortex in one piece, you may be able to find the key to mastering this power."
“I figured that would be the case.”
When he said this, Zero had already started moving his shoulders and warmed up for entering the vortex.
“Do not underestimate it. All the flow of time in this world is concentrated in that vortex. No matter how tough your physique is, if you are even slightly distracted, you will soon be wiped out.”
