…
The 107,336 voices overlapped, merging into one great chorus.
Together, they sang:
"Peace."
"Under this single, shared aspiration…"
"Our souls embrace one another."
"Harmony—shall soon be performed together."
"All voices—resonate with me once more!"
Robin's wings scattered into countless luminous feathers, drifting through the sky.
"Praised Tuner of the Choir!"
"All-powerful embodiment of Harmony!"
"Chorus Dominicus!"
"Respond to the wishes of the many!"
"Bring forth the miracle of Harmony!"
A magnificent symphony erupted.
But this Dominicus was different from the one Sunday would summon in Penacony in the future.
Yet it was also different from the Dominicus recorded in the Family's historical records.
This one lacked the sharp, imposing lines.
Instead, it carried a gentler warmth.
The conductor's baton moved.
Platforms made of musical notes appeared.
One platform lifted Kafka.
One lifted Elio.
One lifted Lin Yi.
One lifted Zhili.
One lifted Dongfang Qiqing.
Dongfang Qiqing blinked.
"Eh? I get one too?"
Five platforms circled around Dominicus.
"At this moment!"
"The ideals of countless beings weave together into a single grand wish!"
The stars in the sky all flew toward Dominicus.
Above its head formed a massive halo.
At that moment, Verdant Life began to fade.
Its emerald color dimmed.
Then withered.
It became a new seed falling toward the earth.
A new sprout broke through the soil.
Bathed in the halo's dawn-like radiance, it grew.
A massive green vine climbed Dominicus's body—
Becoming its arm.
Even more miraculous—
The evergreen vine bloomed.
Its flowers were delicate.
A breeze scattered them into the air.
Where they fell—
Green grass spread across the earth.
This was an immense and pure vitality.
"The stars resound through me."
The 107,336 wishmakers and the tuner seemed to merge for a moment.
They glimpsed one another's memories.
Everyone shared Robin's singing.
Shared her understanding of Harmony.
All voices sang together.
All wishmakers became the stars.
Their voices became the echo.
107,337 voices sounded together.
They prayed as one:
"May the world know no more conflict."
"He" and "she"—
Countless individuals—
Merged into a single "It."
"They."
The three-faced Harmony Aeon, Xipe, manifested.
This was not the narrow Path-space visible only to individuals.
Xipe appeared truly and tangibly.
Watching everything with an infinitely gentle gaze.
That gaze dispelled the sound of Order lingering in the sky.
The halo above Dominicus expanded under Xipe's watch.
Until its diameter became larger than the entire planet Kasbelinyat VIII.
Like a planetary ring.
Again the prayer echoed.
"May the world know no more conflict."
The prayer repeated a second time.
The massive halo began to move.
From space, it looked as though Kasbelinyat VIII itself was about to pass through the halo.
The prayer rang out a third time.
Three overlapping wishes ignited the immense power gathered by Harmony.
The halo accelerated.
Where it passed—
Dry rivers flowed again.
Cracked earth healed.
Withered plants flourished.
Ruined buildings restored themselves.
Weapons vanished.
The wounded healed.
Even severed limbs regrew.
The world was reborn.
It was like witnessing a second creation.
When the final land changed—
The halo stabilized along the planet's equator.
It would rotate with the planet forever.
Endlessly renewing the world's condition.
This place had now been granted Harmony's blessing:
"Conflict No More."
Blessed by Xipe, this world could never again fall into war.
No battlefield would ever touch it.
All weapons meant to harm would fail here.
All malicious intent would be expelled from the world by the halo.
This place had become a divine land.
An eternal Planet of Peace.
A fertile paradise of Harmony.
With the wishes fulfilled—
Creation's work came to an end.
Dominicus began to fade.
Robin glanced toward Dikala.
The Stellaron and its power had already been crushed by the massive wish-force.
But discordant notes still lingered within him.
Even the great chorus hadn't erased them.
Within them Robin sensed something terrifying—
Emptiness.
Void.
She whispered softly.
"May you find peace within the song."
Using the final remaining power of Dominicus, she granted one last blessing.
Then she stopped.
There was nothing more she could do.
This miracle had been created for the many, not for one person.
Besides—
She had seen the truth earlier from her high vantage point.
After the Stellaron vanished, Dikala would only exist for one more system hour.
After that—
His existence would completely disappear.
Dominicus finally vanished.
Robin's figure returned to the world.
But the small halo above her head now shone brilliantly.
The fulfillment of the wish had brought the heartfelt gratitude of the wishmakers.
That gratitude—
Along with a fragment of Harmony's power—
Remained within the halo above Robin's head.
Robin felt it was a bit too conspicuous.
So she took the halo off.
She wiped it.
Patted it.
But it kept glowing.
So she placed it back on her head.
Lin Yi stared.
"???"
"Wait."
"You can take that off?"
"Is it plug-and-play or something?"
Robin spoke seriously.
"For the Halovian people, the halo is extremely important."
"It can't be removed casually."
Her tone was completely sincere.
But considering she had just taken it off five seconds ago, it was not very convincing.
Dominicus disappeared.
The sky still held traces of light and music.
The black cat Elio, who had been resting quietly, finally stood up.
"Now…"
"It's finally my turn."
Elio spoke calmly.
"O End…"
"For the tomorrow (or yesterday) that shall never meet again…"
"Please grant your power…"
"Let this person walk against time (or toward the future)!"
Lin Yi blinked.
"That kind of reaction?"
"Another one that shows up whenever called?"
Zhili immediately protested internally.
That was my line!
A strange sound filled the air.
An indescribable voice.
Unlike other Aeons, whose presence shook the cosmos—
The Aeon of Finality appeared like an invisible ghost.
Even though everyone knew it had arrived—
It could not be perceived.
Among everyone present—
Only Elio might glimpse its form.
Or perhaps—
Even Elio could not truly see it.
