Chapter 30: A New Beginning

The Celebration of Victory

With Team Ultra finally defeated after 600 years, the universe was at peace.

The Immortals and their allies gathered on Earth, celebrating their long-awaited victory. L, Gray, Oak, Lisa, Lyra, Bolt, Brock, Misty, and Flair stood together, feeling the weight of the war finally lifted.

Gray (smiling): "We finally did it… Team Ultra is gone."

L (calmly): "For now."

Everyone turned to L, noticing his serious expression.

Lisa (concerned): "L… do you sense something?"

L smiled softly, keeping his thoughts to himself.

Love Blossoms After the War

As the celebration continued, Gray stood in front of Lyra, his heart pounding.

Taking a deep breath, he knelt on one knee.

Gray (nervous but firm): "Lyra, we have fought together, suffered together, and survived together. You were always by my side… Will you marry me?"

Lyra (tearing up, smiling): "Yes, Gray! I will!"

Everyone cheered loudly!

Following Gray's example—

Brock proposed to Misty, and she happily accepted.

Bolt proposed to Flair, and she blushed before saying yes.

Lisa's Confession to L

Lisa took a deep breath, gathering all her courage.

She turned toward L, her hands shaking slightly.

Everyone noticed and began cheering for her to confess.

Lyra (smiling): "Go on, Lisa!"

Lisa walked up to L, looking into his golden-brown eyes.

Lisa (softly but firmly): "L… I love you. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were special. But… it's not just your power. It's the way you carry yourself, the way you inspire us, the way you care for others. I love everything about you. Will you accept my love?"

Everyone fell silent, waiting for L's answer.

L gazed at Lisa, his expression unreadable at first—then, he smiled.

L (gently): "Lisa… don't love me just for my appearance or my power. Love me for my soul, for who I truly am. That… is what true love means."

Lisa felt her heart race.

L (softly): "If you truly love me for who I am, then yes… I accept your love."

Tears welled in Lisa's eyes as she nodded, stepping closer to L.

Everyone cheered!

Oak's Happiness & L's Final Thought

Grandmaster Oak watched all of them with a warm smile.

Oak (proudly): "Seeing all of you happy… It reminds me of the past. My old friends, my family… You have all grown so much."

L looked at Oak, then at everyone celebrating.

He felt a deep peace inside him—but also, a sense of awareness.

Because he knew—

Something far greater was coming.

Looking up at the sky, L closed his eyes, smiling.

L (thinking to himself): "This is not the end. This… is just the beginning."

The Story Ends… for Now.
