Finally, darkness enveloped his vision, and he remembered what had happened back then… It was on the first day, during the hungriest, most helpless, and most desperate moment… A man named Colin had lit a lamp for him. He thought that if that day ever came, he would do the same…
This was a promise he had made to Colin. Now that the “future” had arrived, he would fulfill his promise by lighting a lamp for others, offering them a glimmer of hope. As for despair… it would remain here with him to die.
His pupils fully dilated, and as his eyes, which could no longer see, glimpsed the words [Sent successfully], his eyelids slowly closed…
“Honorable Mr. Colin, I… did not break my word.”
…
At the same time, a message appeared in everyone’s minds.

More and more “gifts” appeared in the trading market—hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions. More and more people “returned” to the battlefield in another way.
This was not just a single force; it was a torrent, a flood that supplied the vital organs of civilization with lifeblood! Amid this torrent, despair was shared, and hope sprouted anew… The battle suddenly seemed more manageable. With the abundance of gifts, even against lord-level mutants, they could now stand their ground.
But the cost was that behind every gift was a sacrifice. Yet humanity would convey its spirit, pass on hope, and sustain civilization through these sacrifices! The war continued, long and unyielding, with no end in sight to this relentless struggle. But after receiving each gift, they felt as if an indomitable soul stood beside them. Those souls roared with defiance; they hadn’t surrendered—they were fighting alongside them!
If darkness could not be eradicated, then sacrifice and resistance would expand the boundaries of hope!
At this moment, no one was fighting alone.
This battle would see no compromise!
Everyone stood tall again in the midst of darkness and despair, their spines straightened, knees unbent. Supporting them was the name of this fragile but resilient species: “Humanity.”
Tonight, they fought for humanity!
