The Hero looked up, watching as the life beyond human intelligence slowly descended toward him.

All the Winged Ones descended as the Phoenix descended, not even pausing on the treetops, but prostrating on the ground.

The Hero raised his hand, as if sensing something.

"This is... the blessing given to me...

"Really, is it okay?" The Hero's hand retracted slightly with some uncertainty.

Such a precious blessing, do I truly deserve it?

Without responding to the Hero's question, the Phoenix blinked and lowered its head willingly, touching its head to the Hero's hand.

This was a blessing, a gift from destiny.

It was what you needed, and you were needed by it—

The world's gift—

Then, endless light and fire transformed into sky-covering waves, spreading from the Hero's body, causing all life to instinctively bow their heads, shielding their eyes from the flames.
