…… Dangerous woman.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was smiling like a flower, Claude's heart did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Past experiences turn into instinct, constantly shouting at the horror of those in front of you. In the pair of delusional pupils that had seen through the truth of countless immortals, the Cun Zài named Yakumo Purple seemed to be shrouded in black mist, and he couldn't really see it.

This could not have happened, and although he didn't try it out of it, his past experience made him very confident in his eyes.

No one can escape the analysis of these eyes, not even ...... The so-called 'gods'!

But...... What's going on in this situation now?

There is no doubt that Yakumo Murasaki is not human, but neither is it another race such as goblins or demons. If you have to divide a population for her, perhaps, 'Yakumo Purple' is the most appropriate name for this population!

One race! One is all, all is one!

Claude had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest flaw.

"Now that my purpose has been achieved, please allow me to retire."

It may be wise to take a step back against an enemy who can't see through the depths, but ......

"Oh, don't you want to sit down for a while?"

Yakumo Purple obviously didn't mean to let Claude leave, the space that was very easy to break before, now it was so viscous that it seemed to be substance, and the condensation was so thick that it almost suffocated Lindy, who was protected by Claude!

“…… What do you want? ”

Sensing Lindy's discomfort, Claude's face immediately changed. He no longer went around in circles, but just looked at each other with a cold face. The silver bone wings behind him twisted slightly. Turned into a shield to share the pressure for Lindy. The golden and black bone wings grew rapidly. In a matter of moments, it grew long enough to shade out the sun.

"Huhuhuhu, worried about your little lover?"

Seeing that Claude was so nervous, Lindy couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she looked at Yakumo Zi, who was sitting on Jiro's legs on the crack in the space.

As she laughed, the pressure around Claude and Lindy suddenly disappeared, replaced by something strange that could not be described.

"It's ......"

Claude frowned. Sensing the changes around him, he was very sure that Yakumo had eliminated the suppression of himself and Lindy, but ...... And what about this previously unnoticed power?

"Do you feel it?"

Yakumo Zi jumped down the crack and came to Claude in a few steps, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she didn't hide it, and then, she said something that surprised Claude.

"Although I created this world, but! The ownership of this world does not belong to me. ”

Yakumo said very lightly, as if she was talking about someone else's business, and Claude. Listening to the other party's narration, he showed a suspicious look at this time.

"Ownership of the world is not something that is so easy to transfer."

Claude snorted coldly. He is not one of those little ghosts who is only a few tens or hundreds of years old, he has once controlled the country, and even overthrown the so-called 'gods', he knows very well the definition of world ownership.

As long as the Creator exists for one day, then the world will belong to Him alone. And if you want to get the world of the Creator, then there is only one way to do it except kill the other party.

-- Usurp the faith of the whole world!

As the leader of a perishing nation, Claude once almost usurped a certain world, although in the end, he still gained the possession of that world, but the reason is that he successfully killed the 'god' of that world...... In the form of force......

Claude, who is known as the strongest person in the starry sky, has not succeeded in achieving a great feat, and its difficulty can be imagined.

And now, Yakumo Purple actually sued herself that someone had successfully usurped her world, how could such words not make him suspicious?

It's just that......

"Now, do you believe it?"

When the words fell, the originally strong aura on Yakumo Zi's body suddenly disappeared, obviously she was still the same person, but in Claude's eyes, the woman in front of her was no longer mysterious!

――The big monster who controls the realm, once even created the legend of Gensokyo!

It was the past buried in the long river of history, except for a few immortals who experienced that period, the rest of the new generation was a secret that they never knew at all.

Can...... is such a legendary-level existence zài, and today's strength can't even beat Lindy next to Claude.

Silver bits? No! If Claude is not mistaken, it is a black iron level that is weaker than the bronze position, and ordinary people can achieve it with a little exercise!

Such strength, such strength......

"It seems that you have not only been usurped from the world, but even your immortal strength has been taken away by that person?"

Claude told the truth, and that was the cruelest answer for an immortal. Although Yakumo Purple seems to have props on her body that can enhance her strength, allowing her to survive in this dangerous 'paradise', compared to the past, she is now so weak and ...... Helpless.

"Although I don't want to admit it, as you said, I can only rely on you now." Yakumo replied with a wry smile, and after speaking, she suddenly winked at Claude, "Of course, if you help me, the past you have been looking for is not impossible to tell you." ”

"What?!"

Claude would never have imagined that the past he had been looking for for a long time would be here, in front of this old immortal who didn't know how long he had lived, to get the answer.

"Really...... What about fate. ”

Raise your head and look into the sky. Claude didn't know why he was doing this, but when he reacted, his body was already moving spontaneously.

"Yes, fate, cause and effect, and...... Marvel. ”

Yakumo Zi also sighed, but I don't know if it was Claude's delusion, at the end of the day. Yakumo Zi secretly glanced at him.

Really. Is it related to your past?

Claude said secretly in his heart. He wasn't worried about Yakumo deceiving himself. The huge difference in strength between the two sides was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it came from the familiarity he felt in Yakumo Zi.

I didn't find it because of Yakumo's deliberate concealment, but when the other party exposed his truth, a rather familiar feeling rose in Claude's heart.

It's different from the warm care for the girl who is gluttonous and eating food on the side.,It's not the warm play when facing friends such as Ichido and Sasuke.,If you have to explain.,That's the kind of intuition when facing twin brothers.。

The blonde beauty in front of her. and oneself is blood thicker than water...... Close relatives?

The thought crossed Claude's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

Shaking his head, he hooked the corners of his mouth a little funny, and then stretched out his hand to Yakumo Murasaki.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"Happy cooperation~"

Yakumo Zi seemed to have guessed Claude's answer a long time ago, and she didn't show an excited look after hearing this, but even so, her cute face like a cat still made Lindy behind Claude jealous.

"Humph! Claude is mine! ”

"No, he's everyone's."

God knows why Yakumo Purple said such words. However, after hearing her answer. But a trace of nostalgia flashed in Claude's heart, and there was some indescribable fear.

I guess it's an illusion......

Thinking so, Claude turned his head to look at the girl who was eating on the napple, "Speaking of which, I don't know what your name is. ”

"Huh? Isn't that the mother tongue book valley (haven't I said it)? ”

The girl with food in her mouth raised her head blankly after hearing this, because of the food in her mouth, her answer was completely incomprehensible.

"Swallow it first......"

Claude stretched out his hand, his movements were soft and slow, and the girl who was being caressed by him like this also narrowed her eyes at the moment, looking like she was enjoying it.

When the maiden had swallowed all the food and wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, she knelt on the cloth with her hands folded like a lady of all the world—in a way, it was.

"The little woman Bo Li Lingmeng is not talented, and she dares to ask her benefactor for her name."

Facing the girl, no, it was a completely different expression between Reimu and Fang Cai, but Claude was not a little surprised, he smiled and nodded, and at the same time reported his name.

"You can call me Claude. Halloving. ”

"I'm Lindy, Claude's lover!"

Lindy came out from the side, and made a very bad fact.

Normally, in the face of Lindy's distorted facts, Claude would definitely refute it, and in fact he did intend to do so, but when he opened his mouth and the words were just on his lips, Reimu took the lead in raising objections.

"Impossible! I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm sure you're lying. ”

"Cut ......"

Faced with the fact that everyone who met for the first time could easily see that she and Claude were not lovers, Lindy was naturally very unhappy. Of course, she wouldn't list the other party as an enemy just because of Reimu's words.

Everyone is possible, but only Reimu, she will never become Claude's lover.

Although there is no basis for this, that's what Lyndy thinks, or is it from the girl's sixth sense?

……

"Okay, let's talk about our cooperation." Seeing that the two sides had finished their introductions, Yakumo Zi didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point as soon as he came up, "Reimu can be said to be my original agent in this world, but now...... As you can see, she doesn't even have enough to eat. ”

"It's not that you old woman is useless!" Reimu muttered softly, then looked at Claude adoringly, "It's still Lord Claude, who can conjure up any kind of food." ”

Although the strength has decreased a lot, Reimu's vision has not regressed, before Claude's power to turn fantasy into reality, although Reimu has a lot of words, but his heart is very shocked.

The ability to embody utopia as reality......

This is the power that even the world can deceive, and if you have it, then the wish buried in your heart......

Reimu couldn't help but fantasize, even though she knew that she would never be able to achieve that kind of Cheng dù.

But......

That's right, though!

Although I can't do it myself. But that doesn't mean that Master Claude can't do it!

As long as you can help each other in the next action. No. As long as you take care of each other more in your daily life, then according to Master Claude's character, you will definitely help yourself achieve that wish!

The girl who thought like this couldn't help but become brighter and brighter in her eyes.

But then ......

"Woo woo, our reimu doesn't want us anymore~ we don't want to live anymore~"

Old Woman's Cute ...... Well, in order not to be pressed on the keyboard, this description should be decisively omitted.

In short, when a 17-year-old girl finished selling cuteness. Reimu, Claude, and even Lindy as she stood beside her all cast a disgusting look at her.

"Uh-huh, let's get back to business."

Perhaps because she understood that her performance could not deceive the relationship between the three of them, Yakumo Purple finally restored her true appearance as a monster sage at this time. The folding fan in her hand gently instigated, and a huge plan came out of her mouth, "......"

"Are you kidding?"

"Can this really be successful?"

"Only fools fall for it, right?"

When they first heard about Yakumo's plan, whether it was Reimu, who had known each other in the past, or Claude and Lindy, who had met for the first time today, they all had the same skeptical look on their faces.

In the face of their doubts, Yakumo Zi didn't care at all. Just stretched out his fingers, and his mouth made a "zizi" sound.

"Hmph. How can you possibly understand the greatness of my Yakumo Purple plan, you know, the simpler the plan, the fewer flaws it has!"

What Yakumo Zi said was not wrong, and after listening to her explanation, the three of Claude finally nodded and agreed.

"Since you agreed, let's sign a letter of guarantee."

As he spoke, Yakumo didn't know where to take out a certificate of deed.

The moment he saw the contract, a violent explosion sounded from the depths of Claude's soul.

What's the difference......

Yes, something, it's different!

I can't say what it feels like, it's just that the power that has been unmobilized in Claude's body suddenly and spontaneously runs at high speed. And with the rotation of this force, the shackles that had blocked Claude's millennium of time were finally broken!

Boom, boom, boom, boom......!

There was a loud bang in the air, which was the change caused by Claude's subconscious release of his power.

No one knows what kind of Cheng Dù Claude, who was already known as the strongest person in the starry sky, has reached after his strength has been further improved.

Even Yakumo Murasaki, who had taken out the contract, could only vaguely feel Claude's state at the moment, the vague state between the strongest in the void and the gods......

That's what it is...... Did you not reach that level at the beginning?

If it had been reached by that time, perhaps it would have become different......

Yakumo was silent, but then she showed a free smile.

Although it can't compare to the guy in front of him, he is the strongest in the Void...... Well, being a member of the strongest echelon of the original void, she also has her own pride.

In the past thousands of years, I have never given up my efforts!

And in the last hundred years, the obstacle that was originally called impossible to cross was actually loosened, and Yakumo Zi, who felt this, could imagine how excited she would be, in order to overcome this bottleneck, she didn't manage the things of Gensokyo for the first time for fifty years, but just lost the job to her own Shikigami, a Sky Fox management who only had the strength of the middle level of gold, and herself, but she closed her perception and began a crazy sprint to strength.

Gold Intermediate Manager......

It may be enough to be in other worlds, but where is this? This is Gensokyo, which is known as the last 'paradise'.

Spirits, angels, demons, and even dragons who are on the verge of extinction in the rest of the world are quietly surviving here.

In Gensokyo, even the patriarch of a small race has the strength of the Golden Beginner Rank in his own right, not to mention the existence of a kō like the Great Tengu, the Dragon God, or the Demon Realm Administrator.

A mere sky fox, and a sky fox who was easily defeated and successfully abducted by Yakumo Zi, can he really resist the strategies of these people?

The answer, obviously, is no.

But fifty years later, when Yakumo opened her eyes again, what she saw was Gensukyo, which had completely changed into a different appearance.

Although the scenery is still unchanged, Yakumo Murasaki understands what kind of crisis lurks under those seemingly peaceful scenery.

Monster Alliance, Demon Alliance, Dragon Alliance, Witch Alliance, God Alliance......

The original paradise has long since disappeared into the dust of history, and now Gensokyo is just as full of killing and war as the outside world.

Yes, Gensokyo, which is loved by the gods, is gone, and 'she' is moving forward step by step on the road of ruining miè.

If it were the past, Yakumo Purple might not have been able to sit still for a long time, but ...... She didn't succeed in attacking the realm, but she was attacked by someone who had been hiding!

Although he didn't die, those stolen powers, in the end, made Yakumo Zi fall from the immortal realm, in the past, he could open a thousand or even ten thousand paths at the same time, but now, if he didn't use all his strength, he couldn't even open one.

If it were someone else, he might have been desperate in the face of such a situation, but who is Yakumo Zi? She's the legendary one who created a new world outside the void in the past!

Is it really that hard to accept to start all over again?

What's more, she is not without a backhand......

Fourteen years ago, a baby passed through the barrier of Gensokyo, and eventually, was adopted by the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine at the time.

Then, fourteen years passed, and the baby grew up and took over the responsibilities of the old shrine maiden and became the new administrator of the Hakurei Shrine.

The baby's name is "Hakurei Reimu". (To be continued......)
