Even the wind seemed to have lost its clamor at this moment.
The surrounding falling rocks and dust also became slow.
Mono looked at the little figure in his arms.
After a long silence, he expressionlessly opened his mouth.
"Six..."
There was no emotional fluctuation.
He seemed to have fallen into a cold and indescribable state of void. Yet, it appeared to be a response to her, bringing a strange sense of peace... Just as he finished speaking...
"Ah—"
Before more could be said, a terrifying blue light emanated from the ruins once again. The cracks were filled instantly, followed by a thunderous shattering.
A black shadow, accompanied by an invisible field, slowly rose and floated in the air.
One of its hands had disappeared, and the wound emitted an eerie blue light. The originally cold and neat black suit and bowler hat were now covered in dust. It looked... like it had lost its elegance and become disheveled.
Moving without wind, with the wave of its remaining arm,
"Boom!"
Huge rocks flew up like cannonballs, creating sonic booms in the air.
"Mono..." the person in his arms grew tense again.
The white eyes slowly looked up, the reflection of the boulders enlarging within them.
"Buzz—"
In the next moment, all the massive rocks that had come crashing down stopped simultaneously—
—their momentum halted, frozen directly in mid-air.
It was as if they had fallen into an invisible field.
Bang, bang, bang! Immediately after,
all the rocks shot back along the path they had come from.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The black shadow waved its hand, and all the boulders instantly became overwhelmed, directly—
—turning into dust in mid-air.
"Bang!"

Surrounded by mist, everything became indistinct again.
Void white eyes stared blankly.
In the next moment, the black shadow instantly tore through the mist.

Yu-gai-ni-meng-ffff

"Kill... kill..."
A cold voice drifted from the black shadow, and its remaining hand arrived instantly along with the sound—
—at them.
Like a life-taking blade, each finger emitted an eerie blue light, as if it could slice through anything.
eyes full of hatred stared straight at those dark pupils that had lost focus again, but everything—
—was blocked by the white. The sharp fingertips stopped in front of the two small figures.
Ah—
A wailing sound echoed, full of pain. Blue currents surged from its body, and the sharp hand attempted to advance further.
But under the gaze of the white eyes, the surrounding space solidified. The glinting fingertips simply could not penetrate the invisible barrier.
"Wu—"
The collision of air caused space to distort once more.
Hatred, fear, determination—everything condensed into a single point, causing even time to slow down.
You are the one...

The gray figure,
spoke silently, and then the solidified space collapsed. A white light flashed, and the blue-glowing hand vanished.
What followed was not a wail, but an angry roar.
"No, you... are! You... Ah!!"
The black shadow shrieked, and chaotic sound waves created a series of shockwaves, causing the already shattered earth to collapse again.
"Die... end... all of this..."
Like a fierce monster that had lost its mind, even without hands, it still bared its teeth. Its eyes were like beads, round and bulging with bloodshot streaks, as if hatred itself was leaping from them.
Accompanying this were beams of blue light.
In an instant,
they condensed in the air,
and crashed down.
The surroundings were already covered in rubble, with no intact ground left. Under this overwhelming aura,
everything looked so insignificant.
Yet, those small arms still tightly held the person in his embrace.
From beginning to end, he silently protected her as always... "Bang!"
A phantom flashed,
and instantly jumped away.
"Boom!!!"
High temperatures and shockwaves instantly turned the earth and stone beneath into ashes.
But it wasn't over. The flames of hatred were not something a little setback could extinguish.
This was a suffering endured for ten thousand years, impossible to resolve; only death could bring release.
This is a pain difficult for ordinary people to understand; the nightmare is more terrifying than imagined.
Unknowingly, through subtle influence, it drives one to madness and insanity.
Only... death can put an end to this unspeakable, endless loneliness and pain.
Above the city, beneath thick clouds, a storm howled. Space had long since collapsed again; all the buildings were colliding and toppling over.
It seemed as if the entire city would be destroyed, turned into a purgatory, shrouded in darkness and cold.
That towering spire, shaped like a long sword, also twisted its direction as a dismal light shone upon the earth...
Amidst the struggle, light and shadow flickered.
The pursuing blue electric current missed its mark once again.
The Hatred emitted by the dark shadow,
closely followed those two overlapping figures.
It swung again, whipping mercilessly, attempting to let Hatred swallow everything.
But, in an instant, with a turn of the head, the two figures who were under bombardment just a moment ago
had already appeared... behind it.
On the small face, the white pupils held not a trace of emotion.
The eyes of Hatred met theirs, carrying a few hints of astonishment.
"You—" Before it could finish its sentence,
"Voom—"
A trench coat fluttered as a small leg kicked it directly in the face. It was as heavy as ten thousand tons.
"Boom—"
Like a football, it flipped three hundred and sixty degrees; its head and body twisted as it smashed heavily back onto the ground.
Air currents surged, and a deep pit was once again smashed into the earth.
After a long while, it finally crawled back up. The black suit it wore had already turned into tattered fragments of cloth.
"Wh... wh... why... do... this..."
But he did not feel pain; instead, he felt fear.
Why did such powerful strength erupt? The will to protect was so unyielding that it even exceeded its current resentment for revenge.
But, precisely because of this, the despair felt after losing it would be even greater.
The more he acted like this, the more pain and despair he would feel.
One cycle after another, creating pain over and over again.
"Shi Yi If"
Xi?
The body that had just stood up was kicked flying once again by a small foot.
The earth was plowed into a chasm as the figure slowly came to a stop at the end.
Xi?
Another kick.
"Boom—"
A feeling of powerlessness instantly flooded its limbs.
Will, this was will—for the sake of protecting.
"Ha... Ha ha—"
"You will... regret it—"
As the final wail fell,
"BOOM!!!!"
The shadow fell once more, and everything was completely extinguished...
Watching on, the white eyes slowly faded, returning to...
Locking gazes with those eyes full of resentment.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment...
"...I hope... I don't... return to that... world... where there's only... one... person... anymore."

oo
Black mist filled the air, and everything slowly dissipated along with a wailing whisper.
Mono silently watched the scene before him.
In his determined eyes, a flicker of emotion also flashed...
Poor soul, what exactly... made a person become like this...
Silence...
"Rest assured, oo..."
The cycle of pain...
"It won't happen again."
After a long while, light words drifted out, carrying certainty, sounding like a promise...
Particles slowly scattered. Under the cover of blue light, two small figures watched it all silently.
Everything really will become beautiful.
As long as you believe...
If you just believe... it should be enough, right?
