"Immortality? That can be lonely. And in the end, everyone will die. It doesn’t matter what you do to escape it—sooner or later, all shall taste death. It is already written; it’s only a matter of when and how.
But glory… glory is the answer.
Glory will outlive flesh and bones.
Glory is what we should strive for, not immortality."

Robin Burton was a young man who grew up with everything anyone could ever hope for: immense talent in cultivation, a sharp mind, and a wealthy family that would stop at nothing to protect and nurture him. He had everything—except the will to make use of it.

"Why should I walk the same path as my ancestors? Why must I seek strength just to defeat one rival or compete with another? That is not what I was born for!"

“…Heh\~” Robin let out a long sigh. “Pursuing power was never my goal. I left my family and secluded myself to escape those pointless struggles for authority. I wanted to explore the universe, and to explore myself first… yet time and again, I was dragged into devastating wars. I wanted to benefit people with my knowledge and immortalize my name, yet worlds fell and hundreds of billions died because of me. Ironic, hah?”

In that single, razor-thin moment —at the exact instant the purple-skinned man let his final word slip from his lips— the six Destruction Note Support ship cannons thundered as one, their barrels blazing with merciless intent.


The purple-skinned man slid his left foot back, stunned that they had actually fired at him again. His muscles tightened instinctively as he shifted into a full offensive stance, his posture radiating readiness to meet all six incoming shots head-on without flinching.


All six shots screamed past him, grazing the air beside his body before shooting straight behind him— then detonating violently.
