Zero-I and the others were still deep in thought on their way to the destination. Faced with a civilization that failed to improve despite multiple regime changes, they wondered to what extent they should intervene.
Ordinary guidance seemed unlikely to take effect. Yet, if they directly interfered with the leadership of a civilization, would it cause even stranger consequences? How far was "far enough" remained a difficult question to grasp.
However, once they arrived at their destination, those doubts seemed less important. They felt it: new Giants of Light had been born. And not just one. In the nebula before them, more than one Giant, as vivid as red flame, had emerged.
Of course, Zero-I knew that according to the screening mechanism set by their Mothers, once the dust settled, over ninety percent of these Giants would likely undergo a regression—becoming thirty-meter class, ten-meter class, or even beings unable to gigantize at all.
But even if less than one in ten of the giants could eventually become their comrades, it was still an incredibly heartening prospect for the six of them. The Land of Light that their Mother envisioned might not take thousands or tens of thousands of years to build after all.
On the other side, after transforming into the giant he admired, Helis unleashed a power almost exactly as he had imagined—perhaps even stronger.
With radiance akin to a star, he single-handedly destroyed the Lord's entire escort fleet within a single system day. Even Star-devourer battleships were so fragile before him that they stood no chance. The "fat pig" of a Lord was literally scared to death within his own manor.
Simultaneously, the intense light easily melted the panels shielding the sun without harming a single citizen. In less than two days, the entire planet had broken free from the Lord's exploitation.
But!
Once he used the power of the sun to sweep away the dark clouds above his head, he fell into confusion and sorrow. The fictional Helis had only taught him how to uphold justice and how to resist. And that dazzling brilliance had taught him what hope and light were.
But none of them had told him how the billions of people on a planet that had lost its ruler should use sunlight to disperse the haze in their hearts. After losing his mother, how was he supposed to walk out of his own grief?
He tried to recall the special effects show, even using his super-brain to watch every single episode in one night. But in the end, it was just a show. It wouldn't tell the boy how to be a hero or how to adapt to this immense power.
It wasn't until the boy truly became Helis that he realized he had never considered what kind of power supported that ever-radiant hero.
After destroying his enemies with rage and tearing through the gloom obscuring the sky, the young child became lost and helpless. He knew he wasn't the real Helis.
Fortunately, Zero-I and her companions arrived. Helis sensed the arrival of his own kind, just as Zero-I could sense Helis.
He transformed into a great sun and flew into the sky. Beyond the atmosphere, he met Giants of Light whose colors were entirely different from his own.
"Are you... also Giants of Light?"
Zero-I looked at this giant, who was solid red with silver armor on his upper body, and marveled at the sight. "Yes, child. We followed the guidance of the light to come and help you."
Strictly speaking, Helis was older than these Giants who weren't even a month old. But at this moment, compared to the empty-headed and visibly confused Helis, Zero-I and the others—having undergone 'Ruan Mei's' Memoria Bubble prenatal education and Herta's basic knowledge early education—were far more mature. Even if they were still just theorists.
Helis became excited and spoke incessantly about the problems he faced. As for why he trusted them, the light within him told him to.
As she listened, Zero-I began to understand why her Mothers were unwilling to interfere with them. However, for the child before her, they were both the light and the people of this world. The future of this civilization should be theirs to explore.
Zero-I only needed to act as a mentor and guide to disperse their confusion. What the Giants of Light brought should not be leadership and rules, but guidance and hope. Looking at the naive child before her, Zero-I truly understood that sentence for the first time.
"Helis, I can call you that, right?"
"Mhm, mhm!"
"About your mother... I'm sorry. If we had arrived a day earlier, perhaps she would have..." Zero-I recalled her hesitation back in Herta City and realized why her Mothers wanted them to take action. If they had come sooner, more people would have been saved.
"No, no, no! It's already great that the Seniors came to help me. Please don't apologize!"
Zero-I looked at Helis's flustered state and offered a smile. "It's been hard on you. You've done well, and you're excellent. We will help you become a qualified Giant of Light."
"Thank you, Seniors! I will work hard!"
Herta City
'Ruan Mei' had been caught off guard and "arrested" by the joint efforts of Herta and the original Ruan Mei. After a series of processes that weren't quite convenient to describe, 'Ruan Mei' was forced by the "tyrannical power" of the two geniuses to reveal her situation.
Under their "coercion," she pulled out the Evoltruster and transformed into the Giant of Light, Nexus.
The moment the light fused with her, 'Ruan Mei' truly saw that grand and brilliant River of Light. It was a brand-new Path belonging to Hope and Miracles. Honestly, 'Ruan Mei' hadn't decided whether this Path should be called Hope or Miracle.
And besides, who originally came up with the names for those Paths? It was an interesting question. Well, she'd just see what others in the universe decided to call it later.
For the first time, 'Ruan Mei' saw the sealed Aeon from the perspective of a Giant of Light. It was the purest light of hope, and the light of miracles. Its brilliance was warm yet vast; it seemed the light even pierced through time, illuminating the very end of Finality.
'Ruan Mei' couldn't see that far. She only vaguely felt that a sliver of brilliance had appeared at that destined end. But as for what exactly would happen, it was beyond her reach.
The Aeon of Miracles naturally sensed 'Ruan Mei's' arrival. He was very happy and grateful. He tried his best to scoop up the "water" of the Path to give to 'Ruan Mei.'
But just as before, He was currently a "small leaky spoon." Unlike other Aeons who could give as they pleased, He was more like splashing tiny droplets onto 'Ruan Mei.' It was quite endearing.
'Ruan Mei' smiled and soothed the excited Aeon. Speaking of which... she hadn't given Him a name yet. Path names aside, as an individual, He truly should have a name.
After asking for His opinion, 'Ruan Mei' looked at Herta and the real Ruan Mei, who were currently studying her.
"Hey."
"What? At this point, you're not going to say some nonsense about us stopping, are you?" Herta laughed, her hands never stopping as she worked.
"Who's talking about that? I'm talking about Him. We haven't given Him a name yet."
"..."
At those words, both Herta and Ruan Mei paused. Indeed, there was no name.
Come to think of it, who does name the Aeons?
