Ending: Part 1

1
No matter what difficulties and challenges we have to confront,
as a community facing the same fate,
all humans should abandon prejudice and unite,
and steel ourselves for the long river of time.
Everything is flourishing
the memories awaken
Who is listening attentively?
The floating dust
finally settled
The illusions that appear
all disappear
Don't continue to be silent
Don't retreat anymore
Be as persistent as before
This world has changed
Ready to bathe in your own flame
Ready to be reduced to ashes
Human natures
Human natures are what we can only
count on

To be free and live on the ground
with the one you love.
That's happiness.
If someday,
we can go back to live on the ground,
you
have any plans?
have any plans?
Leave Lighthouse with me,
Leave Lighthouse with me,
and start a family on the ground.
I'm the one chosen by the Lord of Light and Shadow,
and only I can truly lead people to return to the ground
and to restore civilization.
The place of Lighthouse Master
will be taken over
by Marc.
Ok.
Dad.
What's more important than being alive?
I'm a soldier.
What I'm afraid of
is not dying,
but
not living a real life.
Sister.
Sir,
do you believe we can go back to live on the ground?
In apocalyptic age,
people are always looking for hopes.
But if there were hopes,
it wouldn't be called an apocalyptic age.
Marc.
Hadji.
This Lighthouse is our last shelter.
The harsh environment after the catastrophe
forced us to change our way of life.
Genes optimization,
abolishing family relations,
as well as this Long Journey,
we did all to fight for our best odds of survival.
Call me sister.
You told me
never to call you sister again.
You have completed the task.
You have completed the task.
Don't go.
Don't go.
The child has nothing to do with you now.
The child has nothing to do with you now.
You are a beast.
If we live like this,
what's the difference between us
and the dead bodies?
You'll get all of us killed.
It's a mission
not to save the others,
but to save ourselves.
The ecology-intensive area is a dead zone.
What are the chances he makes it back?
Only when you're on the right path
can you have the chance to live.
We shall never give up
even if there is a remote chance.
You'll be fine.
Everything will be fine.
Marc has turned into a monster.
Do you still want him to take the seat of the master?
The one they keep in the Eco Lab
is Marc?
Anyway, I'll never get close to him again.
I almost got killed today.
In your mind,
he is not a human anymore,
right?
I guess
the Lord of Light and Shadow
may grant your wish this time.
Marc,
I will take you away from here.
What it said means
something more disastrous was about to fall upon us.
What secret are you hiding from us?
Come with me.
I'd like to have a word with you.
Run.
Fall back.
Stop there.
I knew,
since that day,
you have been holding a belief that
you are the one who can change the destiny of mankind.
But the truth
is not something that everyone can take.
Behind this door
lies everything you want to know,
but it'll become your cage hereafter.
Now,
you still have an option.
But you don't,
do you?

This is the energy and computing center of Lighthouse.
With the device, Lighthouse used to
maintain its operation and plan its future routes.
It has been there since the time of Tartaros.
It can detect the position and momentum of microscopic particles simultaneously.
We haven't been able to understand how it works,
but the messages it gave us
allowed us to live to the present day.
Back then,
when it was functioning normally,
the prison got to know from it the time of the disaster in advance,
and managed to survive the catastrophe.
Later,
we tried deducing the future of mankind with it
in an attempt to find a way to fight against Manna ecology.
The answers it gave us
were symbols and equations that were beyond our understanding.
The only thing that was interpreted
was a coordinate.
The first Lighthouse Master went there immediately,
but there,
he only found a baby.
Who was this baby?
You don't need me to tell you that.
I don't give a shit what it is.
A baby
can fight against the Eco in the future.
How can that be predicted?
Do you still believe in that augury nonsense?
From a macro perspective,
matter is nothing but piles of aggregated atoms,
and the motion of atoms conforms to physical equations.
Say there is a little ball. If you know
its position, speed,
and the force on it,
you can calculate its future trajectory.
Theoretically,
if we know the exact state of everyone atom in the universe,
with enough computing power,
we can figure out the future.
I had thought
if I could make Marc into a great warrior,
in the future,
he would lead Lighthouse to overcome Manna ecology.
It was not until the day of the surgery on the spinal centipede
when I came to realize
that Marc's mission
may have been to become a bridge between mankind and Eco.
Or maybe
only he
could peek into the secrets of Eco.
You old maniac.
We can put him down like a hive with a few of bullets.
Any Extremozoans can tear him into pieces.
What big secrets do you expect him to peek into?
I know.
Maybe it is because
he has not crossed the last frontier.
\h\h\hThe existence of Clotho System is only
known to the Lords of Lighthouse. The
core of the system is a giant living organ
maintained by sophisticated life-
supporting equipment.
\h\h\hAccording to records left by former
Lords of Lighthouse, the Core is a vessel
for an ancient intelligent lifeform, possessing
cognitive abilities far beyond human
understanding. It once served as the
"guide" for the Lighthouse’s decision-making
process and was considered the key to
stabilizing the ecology of the Old Castle.
The existence of Clotho System is only

Captain Marc is alive and well.
Who is so wicked to say that he is dead?
Captain Marc is alive.
Captain Marc has not reached the age.
Why is he going on the long journey?
He smashed the Dawn Hall.
The long journey is far too lenient.
They say the blast in the incinerator room left many dead.
Nonsense.
Marc.
The long journey ceremony
begins.
Marc,
I will take you away from here.
Isn't this superior 4068?
What brought you here?
Did they kick you down or what?
Cut it out.
4068 found the medicine for the master.
Surely Lighthouse should award him for his merit.
Besides,
4068 never gives a damn to the superior identity.
Otherwise, he would've moved to the Superior Area long ago.
Cut it.
Let's go.
Captain Marc.
Lieutenant Ran Bing.
You must find the truth for us.
Yeah, yeah.
Find the truth.
It looks like Captain Marc
is so down.
Captain Marc.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Wait a minute.
Whatever you want,
you can't interrupt the long journey ceremony.
Lieutenant Ran Bing,
I was about to die.
It was Captain Marc
who gave me a second chance.
I just wish to thank him in person.
But Marc
So do we.
We also came to thank Captain Marc.
Thank you, Captain Marc.
You did it.
It's all
Stop it.
your fault.
Everyone, step back.
No one should stand in the way of Captain Marc's long journey.
He said this monster is Captain Marc.
How come he turned into something like this?
It's so terrifying.
What the hell is this? It even has a tail.
It doesn't look like a human at all.
Was he infected by the scarlet pheromone
or bitten by the spinal centipede?
Is he really Marc?
Well, well,
have a look.
He is not the goddamn Captain Marc.
He's a monster.
Monster.
Can he be held tight with only a few rusty chains?
They must be kidding.
Right.
Even two mechas can't stop him if he gets out of control.
Monster. He is a monster.
Monster.
Stay away from him. He bites.
I don't want to end up in his mouth.
I wonder what he had done
to deserve such a punishment by the Lord of Light and Shadow.
Yes. They should kill him,
or all of us will be dragged down.
The platform is just ahead.
We must hold on.
Marc violated the 3 decrees
and defiled the Lord of Light and Shadow.
His appearance now
is a punishment by the Lord of Light and Shadow.
We shall torch him.
Yeah.
He's right.
Marc killed many of us in the incinerator room.
A monster like him doesn't deserve the long journey.
What?
Is that true?
It's terrible.
The Lord of Light and Shadow will never spare
a monster who slaughtered his own fellows.
Burn him,
or the Lord of Light and Shadow will vent his anger on us.
A monster doesn't deserve the long journey.
Burn him.
Enough.
Which one of you
could have made it till now without him?
He takes back everything you eat or use
at the risk of his life.
Is this how you return
We have made it till now
under the shelter of the Lord of Light and Shadow,
not the monster.
The Lord of Light and Shadow condemned us.
The monster is to blame.
Stop it.
The monster is weakened.
Kill them. Now.
Kill him.
Kill him.
Kill them both.
Look out.
Someone is killed.
No one should interrupt the long journey ceremony.
Bishop, my lord.
His hands are covered in blood.
If he gets away alive,
the Lord's punishment will come to us.
The disaster just now must have been an omen.
Right. Don't let him get away alive.
A monster like him
can never bring back any truth for Lighthouse.
It brings only disasters.
By the time the wrath of the Lord falls upon us,
we will suffer from endless pain and torture.
Let him die.
Kill him.
You promised me.
\h\h\hAnyone who violates The Three Decrees of Survival
and refuses to repent will be sentenced to Lighthouse's
capital punishment by burning execution. All sins of
the executed will be purified by the flames. The
punishment has a great deterrent on the public,
demonstrating the majesty of Lighthouse Laws.
Due to subject No. 4 reviving in an ordinary
incinerator, Lighthouse has modified the
burning execution arena by adding super-high
power turbochargers on both sides of the
arena to maximize the burning efficiency.
After the modification, the arena ejects
extremely hot blue flames when carrying
out an execution, powerful enough to turn
any living form into ashes. Because of the
super heat it produces, intensive
cooling devices are specially equipped.
Burn him.
Burn the monster.
Burn him.
All living creatures came from the light.
All living creatures will go with the shadow.
Burn him.
Marc.
The light cleanses my soul.
The shadow shelters my body.
Restrain desires with virtue.
Being joyous but not indecent.
The Lighthouse hero ended up like this.
It is only human nature
to feel sorry for him.
But I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes.
Just for once.
Got it?
Take it out and put it on.
A superior already.
Why bother to hide it?
We'd rather damage our body and skin,
than betray the Lord of Light and Shadow.
Ignition.
Do you really want to go to the ground with him?
To think of the breeding process of you two,
it really
turns me on.
Marc.
Stop.
Burn him.
Marc.
What is it? What happened?
What's going on?
You're under siege.
Step back, all of you.
It took me great effort to get back my Heavy Walker.
It's time to kick your asses.
The Lord of Light and Shadow has already seen through everything.
Get them.
Ask your Lord of Light and Shadow
if I'll blow your damn head today.
This is outrageous.
Do you dare?
Tell them to stop.
Stop, all of you.
Stop.
Come on, fall back.
Get the hell out of my way.
Take it.
You two lovebirds in your own world?
Forget it.
The captain and lieutenant of hunters
got rubbed on the ground by a bunch of trash.
What a shame if words get out.
As an elite of hunters,
I feel too ashamed to hang out on Lighthouse.
I'm going to unlock you.
Don't bite me.
Let me make it clear first.
We'll live together later.
No snoring,
no grinding teeth, no farting.
The jumping spider isn't big enough
to accommodate all of you.
We'll take the ones who hop on board first.
I won't take care of whoever falls behind.
I guess the team of yours
will never fall apart.
Lita,
are you ready there?
We can set off any moment.
Don't rush me.
Why don't you bite it off?
I never know that a hunter can't even pick a lock.
So lame.
What're you up to?
Watch and learn.
Why did you move back so far?
What's to be so frightened of?
Frightened or not?
Aren't you frightened?
I wanted to punch you long ago.
Yes, I'm frightened.
Yet you talk so loud.
Yes, I'm frightened.
Murmuring.
No one can hear it.
Frightened or not?
Frightened or not?
Done.
It works alright.
The once handsome and valiant Captain Marc
was parasitized by the spinal centipede,
and turned into an ugly monster.
Shut your mouth.
Did it ever come to you?
Marc was in the Heavy Walker at the moment,
how could anyone cut his throat?
What?
And how could he be parasitized by the spinal centipede?
What do you mean?
It was you.
So,
so it was you.
No.
Listen,
Marc
was
Gavin?
Gavin, what's going on?
Come in.
1225 went to ask Marc to give her heart to a superior.
Ran Bing's breeding mission,
and finally, someone cut Marc's throat.
All of it
was my work.
You
son of a bitch.
Gavin.
Captain.
All Heavy Walkers,
go.
Lieutenant Ran Bing.
Captain Marc.
Are you alright?
Captain Marc.
Captain Marc.
Captain Marc.
Are you alright?
Captain Marc.
I know you are broken inside.
But Marc,
you're not a monster like they say.
Though I don't know what's happening inside your body,
I believe that
you will get better.
You have always wanted to go back to the ground.
We're about to make it.
Do you remember our promise?
You said we would leave Lighthouse
and start a family on the ground.
Marc,
whatever happens,
you are always my family.
After going down,
the whole ground will be our home.
We can stick together all day long.
Did you know
that in the old world,
people in love would hold a ceremony
called wedding.
They would receive blessings from their friends
and exchange tokens of love.
After that, they would be together forever.
How I wish that after getting to the ground,
there would be a wedding for us.
Marc,
I want to grow old with you.
I want to see your wrinkled face,
and see if you can fight Extremozoans then.
I don't want to part with you,
but why,
in apocalyptic age,
being with the one you love
is such a luxury.
Ran Bing.
Ran Bing.
Marc,
in my life,
the most courageous moment
is when I told you
I loved you.
Even if I am burnt to ashes with this apocalyptic age,
I will never regret it.
It's so nice
that before leaving this world,
the last thing in my eyes
is you.
Without me,
you still have to
live on.
