The essence of an idealist is "infinity."
Upon hearing Tendo's words, Chen Kong felt a small but bright "flicker" of light in his mind. The sudden warmth and light made his soul, which was in darkness, tremble. He wanted to hold on to it tightly. But the "flicker" of light was too brief, and the vision of the "meteorite descending from the sky" was too shocking.
As a result, Chen Kong ultimately failed to grasp this valuable "inspiration," and it slipped through his fingers.
And while Chen Kong was immersed in the regret of not being able to grasp the inspiration, the distant Bai Kong, who was at the center of the "meteorite," was horrified. He looked at the world-destroying stone that covered the sky, with its surrounding tail flames that seemed to be able to devour everything. The expression on his face no longer held its original arrogance and wickedness; there was only endless shock.
He could feel it. He could clearly feel the immense power contained within the meteorite, enough to crush everything. In the soul space, where fantasy and will are everything, the concept of "jutsu" is infinitely reduced, and the concepts of "will" and "fantasy" are infinitely magnified. And with his almost terrifying "will" and "fantasy," Tendo had created a true "miracle" in this soul space.
But even if he was a "god," his pride as a "king" would not allow him to kneel just like that!
With this will, Bai Kong held "Black Star" with both hands and swung his blade with all his might. But the result was...
Cling!
The moment Black Star and the meteorite collided, the blade in Bai Kong's hand completely bent. At the same time, the huge meteorite smashed heavily onto him without any hindrance, and while it annihilated the "Perfect Star Skeleton" on his body, it also pressed him into the boundless "soul sea."
Boom—!!
In an instant, a thousand-meter-high wave wall rose from the ground like a divine punishment. With a terrifying stance that devoured everything, it swept through the entire soul space. As the tsunami "hit" the dimensional screen, the anime's picture went into a brief blackout. It was as if even the act of "observing" itself was crushed by this earth-shattering tsunami.
After that, Tendo's voice, which was always filled with a cynical tone, appeared in the form of a narration on the dark screen.
"True idealism is to look up at the sea of stars, even when you are trapped in a swamp."
"To pursue an infinite fantasy with a finite life, this is the true meaning of an idealist."
"Because 'pursuing' a dream is more important than realizing it."
In the darkness, Tendo's voice paused slightly, followed by a mocking chuckle.
"Humans can only look up at the stars?"
The dark screen began to brighten. A pair of special, azure-blue eyes appeared before all the dimensional viewers. The complex star trails that flowed in the azure-blue pupils were as if the vast and brilliant starry sky was completely trapped in those eyes.
Looking at these eyes, a shock that could not be described in words swept through the hearts of the dimensional viewers. And this silent shock was finally completely released when Tendo's last words were spoken!
"Then I'll make the stars look up at me."
After Tendo's narration ended, the anime's picture completely went black.
Instantly, a silent stillness and shock swept through everyone's hearts, and completely ignited the passion of the dimensional viewers.
'Oh my god! Tendo! What are you going to do?!'
'You want to make the stars look up at you? Old Man Tendo, you're really going to become [Heaven]!'
'As we all know, "Stars" is a classic shonen anime. Tendo is responsible for the "Shonen" and the "Passion," and the others are responsible for making the final "Anime."'
'Just a memory projection is so exciting. I can't imagine how exciting it would be if Old Man Tendo appeared in person!'
'To the one before, Old Man Tendo said that the essence of idealism is infinity. Just let your imagination run wild!'
Worshiping the strong is human nature. The love of a dimensional viewer for a character can be roughly divided into "admiration," "wanting to be," and finally, "looking up to." Only when a character does something that even the viewers, who have a god's-eye view, feel inferior to, as if only he could do it, will he become the irreplaceable "one" in everyone's heart.
And at this moment, "Tendo" was the "one" in the hearts of the dimensional viewers, the irreplaceable "one."
"To make the stars look up at him," what a domineering and confident thing to say. But when these words were put on the character "Tendo," there was no sense of incongruity. Because from the first episode of "Stars," he had already left everyone far behind.
This also made some dimensional viewers remember what Tendo had once said to the Doctor.
'I want to stand at the highest point, see the farthest distance, and then... find out what this world truly looks like.'
In the past, although they thought these words were cool, they only thought that the "highest point" in Tendo's mouth was the highest point of the "world." But now, it seemed that they had underestimated that arrogant silver-haired guy. The "highest point" in his mouth was so high that even the starry sky had to look up at him! It was so high that even the starry sky had to prostrate at his feet!
With this, the awakening arc of the protagonist, Chen Kong, ended.
[Stars World, Cogwheel Church, Underground Passage]
"Oh? You gave up so quickly?" Euphemia looked at Chen Kong, who had his eyes closed and was standing still, and suddenly said in a seductive voice, "How about this, Chen Kong? As long as you kneel down like a dog and lick my feet, I'll let you live, how does that sound?"
Unexpectedly, not long after Euphemia said this, Chen Kong slowly raised his head. But the eyes that were once clear and bright were now burning with a strange flame called "arrogance."
Huh?
In Euphemia's stunned state, Chen Kong teleported in front of her and single-handedly grabbed her slender neck. In this life-or-death moment, Euphemia's "Ten Blades" frantically slashed at "Chen Kong." But these slashes only produced a sound like hitting hard iron. They couldn't harm "Chen Kong" at all!
Looking at Euphemia struggling in his hand, "Chen Kong's" face curled into a cruel smile.
"Making me kneel down? You think..."
"Chen Kong" violently slammed Euphemia against the wall of the passage. A voice filled with unquestionable and endless anger suddenly exploded in the vibrating underground passage.
"...You are Tendo?!"
