There was no need to summon another incarnation through the Human Path.
After closing the passage, Alex raised both hands, two rays of white light separated from his body, the Hero's Iron Fists appearing between them.
Roland looked at those familiar fists.
"You have already surpassed their power."
"That does not mean I should keep them forever."
The white light entered Roland's empty sleeves, at the same time, Alex's Divine Might gathered around his soul, forming a true body of flesh and blood.
His hands returned, his heart began beating.
Roland lowered his head, slowly opening and closing his fingers, then he pressed a hand against his chest.
After being dead for so many years, he was actually alive again.
For a rare moment, this old hero who always seemed to have something to say became completely silent.
Alex waited beside him.
After a while, Roland raised his head.
"The Hale family?"
"They have returned."
"Good!"
A smile appeared on Roland's face.
