Chapter Ninety-Six: Nothingness
Having established a bond with the Red Devil's second lady comparable to, and even above that, Remilia didn't think Yakumo had any means to dig him out of the Red Devil.
But this is a monster sage, countless demons thousands of times stronger than Remilia have been killed by it, and the guy who can also be called a "monster" among the monsters, said that Wang Yu will never be snatched away, but Remilia's heart is always faintly heavy.
Just as Remilia's mind was racing, the answer from the monster sage appeared.
"I'm really sorry, although we also want you to owe us a favor, but I can't control the affairs of Brother Wang Yu~"
Yakumo Zi said with a smile, his eyes wandering, and the smoke was flattering.
The words that were just spoken silently caused a shard to crack the teacup in the crimson demon's hand.
“…… Are you deliberately having trouble with my Red Devil, Yakumo Murasaki. ”
Remilia put down her teacup and looked up at the youkai sage. The refusal to treat Flandorow in the first place could also be explained by not wanting the potential danger to grow, and Remilia, who was also a leader and conspirator, accepted this reason. It's just that the current Wang Yu is just a monster that is so weak that she can kill it with a snap of her fingers, what excuse can she find?
"Why do you think that? We love all the demon clans, Zi is so sad. ”
Yakumo Zi made a look of tears, just like the beauty of Xizi's eyebrows, which made people dizzy.
It's just that Remilia doesn't eat that, she frowned in disgust, and said in an unkind tone, "Put away your pretentious look, it makes me sick." ”
"Well, little bat, you're really willful. ”
The eyebrows of Xizi instantly transformed into a graceful lady, and the monster sage with a thousand faces opened the folding fan and gently fanned it a few times, and his demeanor was elegant and extraordinary.
"Give me an excuse, an excuse for you not to save Wang Hao. ”
Those who ask for help are not entitled to resent others for not reaching out to help, which is Wang's assertion - and Remilia's view.
But she needs an explanation, if the monster sage is deliberately targeting them, the Red Devil Pavilion will immediately be fully put into a state of readiness.
"Didn't we say it? I can't control the affairs of Brother Wang Yu. ”
Yakumo smiled, giving an explanation before Remilia had a seizure.
"You may be thinking that there is something I can't do, but I'm just a youkai, and I'm not an all-knowing and all-powerful 'god', even the establishment of Gensokyo was completed with the help of other youkai sages. ”
The woman's bottomless purple eyes flashed with a strange light: "And now they are all dead." ”
At that moment, the rancid blood and darkness that had accumulated for countless years rushed to his face, as cold as the minions wielded by evil spirits. All the Red Devils trembled involuntarily, they didn't dare to think about how much resentment and malice were hidden behind this frivolous sentence, as if the souls of those losers were entangled in the beautiful woman in front of them and wailed bitterly, and she regarded it as if it were heaven.
There seemed to be some indelible stain on the white lace gloves, like blood, like tears.
She seemed to be in a bad mood now, although on the surface she was still beautiful and gentle like an ancient painting.
"You all know what Brother Wang's 'reason' is, right?"
Yakumo changed the subject, and the dark aura that made people collapse disappeared in an instant, and the relieved girls tried their best to keep the wind and rain on the surface still, but there were turbulent waves in their hearts.
Remilia, who had always thought that Yakumo Purple was just a resourceful and treacherous person, finally saw the difference between the big monster and herself, and the so-called big demon is all ants, not a joke.
The bright red young moon with a heart higher than the sky silently remembered this powerless humiliation, and she wanted to add it back one day in the future.
Although the youkai sage seemed to be very talkative, the behavior just now had already shown them that the red devil was not worth mentioning in Yakumo's eyes. When she is playful, she will come to laugh with you, and when she is in a bad mood, she will beat you up, just like a pet, or even worse than that.
Pets are also pampered by their owners.
"Maybe it's the relationship of self-knowledge, which he calls 'hollowness'. Not expecting the answer of Remilia and the others, Yakumo Murasaki gave the answer herself. "But what is emptiness? it is nothing, it is 'emptiness', it is 'nothingness', it is something that can contain everything, it swallows everything, but it cannot be touched, it is the 'nothingness' that is opposed to the world of 'existence'. ”
"It sounds like there is a limit to the 'hollow', but in fact the so-called boundary is just a place where the nothingness has not yet spread. ”
"Because it already contains the infinite 'nothingness' that contains all things and the untouchable 'nothingness', even the use of my ability -- assuming that I can stir the void -- is only to turn the two upside down. ”
Yakumo Zi gently covered her face with a folding fan, revealing only a pair of eyes that shimmered with inexplicable light, and her tone was light and ethereal, but cold sweat slowly oozing from Remilia's forehead.
A great demon who is immune to the abilities of the Yokai Sage...... Would she allow such a guy to exist?
"But what about when it's reversed? Void becomes nothing, nothingness becomes nothing, nothing changes from before. ”
"So, I can't control the affairs of Brother Wang Yu. ”
This is the third time she has emphasized in this conversation that "she is helpless about Wang Xi's affairs", but compared with the previous banter, this sentence is much more solemn and colder.
"Although the level he can now access is only 'empty' as he thinks it is, as his strength grows, sooner or later he will discover the essence of despair. ”
"Hurry up and pull him back before he becomes a useless being beyond the reach of something else. ”
"I need him - Gensokyo needs him. Until he fulfills his irresistible fate, I leave him with you, little bat. ”
"I hope you don't let me down. ”
"It's ridiculous, I'm the Red Moon in charge of fate, and no one can force the members of the Red Devil Pavilion to fulfill any ridiculous fate. No one. ”
Remilia's gaze was cold and sharp, her magic gathering momentum in her fingers, and she was ready to resist when she uttered the words that defied the monster sage.
Just unexpectedly, Yakumo Zi chuckled, not caring about her rudeness.
"It's just a glimpse of some of the ways of fate, and it's so proud? ”
"If you can do it, then give it a try. Small bats. ”
The monster sage, who had never shown his full picture, slowly retreated into the gap, and the crack gradually healed, and everyone could only peek into two deep purple spots.
"I ...... Looking forward to it. ”
