She reminded him, "That promise, the one that's yours alone."
Balder froze in place.
"You still remember her, right? That person waiting for you.
For so many years, she has always kept the promise, holding onto the last obsession, alone in Hell, sleeping in the place without light, waiting for your arrival, day after day, year after year."
"Now, the time to fulfill the promise has come, Balder.
This time, will you keep your promise?"
"...Of course."
Balder nodded, responding calmly, "How could I leave her all alone?"
"Very good, Balder."
Tong Ji said approvingly, "You really are the kindest God—"
In that instant, the Parasitic Galla pierced his chest.
There was no pain, no fear.
The God collapsed silently.
As the moment arrived, Balder lifted his head, staring at the person in front of him, waiting.
Waiting for her to speak that word.
The word that truly brings everything to an end.
And so, just like many years ago, like the ending of every tale about Balder.
