56. Her
In mid-air, the moonlight like water suddenly exploded, shattering the link formed by the fragments of the building in the blink of an eye, and making a series of sounds like water bubbles breaking.
"Poof! Kiss! Kiss! β
Looking closely, I saw that the moonlight had formed an infinite rune around Renee's body, which was connected from end to end in an eternal cycle and infinitely expanded.
Although the entire dream still existed, suppressing the ranks of everyone present, Renee was a true god with infinite power after all, and this suppression became dispensable after the dream crumbling.
Renee, who was levitating, raised her hand with a cold face and aimed it at Helaire in front of her, and between the rotation of the aura like a moon wheel behind her, the power swelled to the limit and exploded.
"Buzz!"
Hellaire smiled and was about to open her mouth when the huge moon wheel had already smashed her.
"Boom!"
Her entire limb instantly turned into ashes in mid-air, disappearing without a trace, leaving only some gray-black powder floating in the air, as if it had disappeared in ashes.
β.β
Renee, who raised her hand, frowned, although she had attacked with all her strength at the beginning, she did not expect the avatar of the ocean to be hit and destroyed so easily.
Her purple eyes looked ahead over her open palms, but she saw only strands of paper bags falling downward, and the blonde beauty was gone, and even her breath was wiped out in the devastating attack.
Is it dead?
Renee double-checked, but still didn't feel any breath from it.
She had to distract herself to check the situation of Asuka and Fisher on the other side, and when she saw that Asuka, the lord of dreams, was chasing Fisher, behind her, the sound of a paper bag being blown by the breeze came slowly.
"Whoa."
Her pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly came back to her senses and gathered her strength again to aim ahead.
She only saw the pieces of the paper bag blown by the wind and fall disorderly on the roof of a building.
But as the fragments of the paper bag slowly landed, it was like ink drops falling into a blank piece of paper, from which layers of darkness were blurred and difficult to see.
"Whew"
The darkness that seemed to pierce through the void spread, gradually spreading from the top of the building through the dimension in all directions, until all of Renee's vision was filled.
"Whoa."
In the boundless darkness, as if she were in an ocean of immense expanse, Renee felt that she could see nothing but the sound of the waves from a very distant time, as if from time immemorial.
And from the boundless darkness, the pale arms of unknown race slowly raised, and in their hands they held the bodies of "angels" one after another, which were chaotically combined in mid-air, until they completely constituted the headless body of a woman.
At last, the myriad of shriveled, god-like, fear-like arms held the moon and lifted a smiling blonde head with closed eyes and blood from the darkness and hung high above the woman's headless body like a crown
"Angry. Silly boy? β
The headless body reconnected with her skull little by little, and only then did the body open its playful blue-gold dilated pupils as if it had a soul.
In her pupils hung Renee, frowning in the boundless darkness not far away.
"This is your other incarnation?"
"Not an incarnation to be precise, because it does not have any authority over me, nor does it have my consciousness that is not controlled by me, but acts autonomously. It was just a protective measure that I left in the Sea of Souls, and when I found out that the Sea of Souls had been taken away, it activated along with my other three avatars."
In the darkness, Helaire touched his intact head and chuckled softly,
"It has the power to easily hunt down any god within the Frontier except you, and as long as it's there, my three incarnations will be resurrected without limit. I can't face the thieves at the same time, but it's my hole cards left here."
"Except for me?"
Renee was slightly stunned, looking at the boundless darkness spreading behind Heraire, a drop of cold sweat slowly dripping from her forehead.
Of course, in addition to the vigilance of the great enemy, there were even more doubts in her heart.
If the protection of the sea of souls left behind by the ocean is so strong, why has it been dormant for so long?
Moreover, when it is clear that a god like Ramastia with two powers is more powerful than himself, why can't he kill himself?
unless
Looking at Renee, whose face changed slightly, Hellaire smiled and nodded her red lips, and said to Renee,
"Yes, because the unconscious authority within you is what I sent into this world. It belongs to me, so it is also protected by this protective mechanism. So when your predecessor is killed, not only will your authority not die, but your consciousness will grow again."
Renee, however, remained silent all the time, staring silently at Heller, who was walking in the darkness in front of her, and the "boundless darkness" behind her, which was a protective mechanism.
For a long time, both Renee and Ramastia believed that the infinite authority could not be destroyed because of the special nature of the infinite authority, but only now did they realize that the reason for the perpetuation of the infinite authority was actually the back hand left by the ocean in the sea of souls.
β.β
After a brief silence, the moonlight in Renee's hand grew brighter and brighter, and she stared at the boundless darkness behind Heraire, and then said,
"If the protection mechanism behind you can't kill me and has the power to kill other gods, on the other hand, I am the most likely being to kill it alone, except for a few gods combined."
"I'm talking to you about this but I want you to turn against you, stupid boy."
Helaire rubbed his head with a seemingly headache, and then returned to his usual smiling expression,
"You are the one I brought to this world, and it has nothing to do with where this world belongs. To be honest, I just wanted to test the nature of the barriers set up by that coward of Azandros, but in essence, there was no conflict between us, did we? β
Under Herel's slender eyelashes, the figure of Renee reflected in those blue-gold eyes became more and more blurred, and her words followed,
"I just need to temporarily separate the nature of Fisher's body from him, and it will all be over."
β.β
Renee pursed her lips, not answering immediately, but not decisively refusing.
Shaken?
Maybe it's a little bit, especially since he was still naΓ―ve enough to fantasize about leaving everything in the world with Fisher, even if it was to bring the group of people Fisher cared about.
What the ocean wants is the nature within him, and he only wants Fisher.
This may be the reason why Renee is shaken, but Renee also has countless reasons to refuse.
Renee let out a long breath, looked coldly at Hellaire in front of her, and refused in a deep voice,
"You bastard of lies. I'm afraid everything you say is false, except for wanting the nature in Fisher's body. I can't and shouldn't make this decision myself, Fisher has made the choice and I decided to trust him. β
Helaire, who was rejected, was not annoyed, she just shook her head with a sigh and said to Renee,
"That's it. Actually, I don't have much hope, because Fisher and his nature are inseparable after all."
The last sentence was so light that before Renee could hear it, she suddenly felt a chill in the back of her head.
So fast!
The moonlight on Renee's body flickered, resisting the menacing force behind her.
But soon, the entire dark ocean was turbulent, and Renee, who was floating in the air, was surrounded even harder.
Hellaire smiled as Renee struggled to cope with the attack, but she herself turned away with her hands in her hands, directly over the seemingly endless darkness to the previous tall building outside.
She stood at the edge of the building, glanced casually around the city, and saw Fisher, who was confronting Asuka.
"It seems that time has to speed up, and I can't stop his crazy little girlfriends in the dynasty."
Hellaire shook his head with a smile and jumped straight from the tall building, then flew in the direction of Fisher and Asuka like an angel.
And right behind her, in the space wrapped in boundless darkness, the thick moonlight kept flashing, but it was still difficult to break through the black barrier.
"Click!"
The streets of Tokyo seem to be boiling.
The glass walls on the outside of the building, which hangs upside down, reflect the blood-colored sunset projected from the far west, chasing the drunken people above the ground with teeth and claws.
Tokyo at night smells of alcohol, as if the whole city or even the whole country is drunk, and the crisp sound of the money counter and the disconnecting lights of the drunken money are a dream that never wakes up.
Fisher ran all the way, and the countless banknotes around him seemed to come to life and rolled into a tide in mid-air, and the heads of people that Fisher did not know at all copied on the banknotes began to repeat the words densely,
"Mr. Fisher, where are you going?"
"Mr. Fisher, where are you going?"
Fisher waved his hand with a cold face, and the bills seemed to be swept up by the wind and blown to both sides, turning into a thick clump of foam sticking to the wall, which looked extremely disgusting.
On both sides of the building, countless people with hideous smiles on their faces jumped into the sea like lemmings, one after another, all of them jumped down from the tall buildings facing Fisher, and fell on the road in front of Fisher like rain, splashing blood.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
One by one, human bodies in suits with hollow smiling faces fell down, and in an instant, a wall of flesh was piled up in front of Fisher, and the smell of blood stopped Fisher suddenly.
It's not because of fear of the wall of human flesh in front of you, but because something is already behind you.
He turned his head abruptly with a cold face, the shadow on his face seemed to turn into substance, only a pair of cold eyes dragged the ghostly light and turned back suddenly.
"Mr. Fisher!"
The eyepiece is the black-haired Asuka Karasawa.
With a wicked smile, she opened her hands and pounced on Fisher, who was quick to reach out and put his hand on her shoulder, but was still carried by the force of her impact and rushed into the wall of flesh, smashing the falling human body to pieces.
"Ahem!"
The fishy smell emanating from the human body instantly hit his nose, and Fisher was pinched by Asuka Karasawa and slipped out on the pile of corpses on the ground.
Before he could react, all the corpses around him stretched out their arms towards him as if they had come to life.
As if to completely drown a victim who was about to sink into the water, Fisher gritted his teeth and looked at Asuka Karasawa with his black hair hanging down and couldn't see his face clearly, only to feel that the whole dream began to sink behind him, and he wanted to sink into the depths with him.
"Ahhhh
Fisher gritted his teeth, and the power in his body was instantly released, and in an instant, layers of qi waves erupted in the same place, directly flying Tang Ze Asuka.
But on the buildings on both sides, smiling Tokyoites pounced on Fisher like crazy, and Fisher stood up with a cold face, grabbed a person's neck with one hand, and threw them all back like cannonballs.
"Bang bang bang!!"
The huge impact force caused the corpse's flight trajectory to erupt into a hideous blood mist along the road, temporarily blocking the path of the rest of the figures, but on the rooftop, these people's images were endless, and there was no end in sight.
No, we have to get rid of this dream quickly, or Helaire will be there soon.
He looked up at the sky, it had been quiet for a long time, and most importantly, the steel cages that Asuka had used to restrain Renee and Helaire had all disappeared.
He took a breath, pulled the fluid sword from his bosom, and looked down at the dream beneath him that seemed to be constantly denting.
Let's see if we can use brute force to break this dream from the inside.
"Buzz!"
With the fluctuation of his will, the golden-colored fluid sword on the hilt of the sword instantly vibrated and extended, transforming into an extremely sharp spear shape.
Fisher's muscles twitched, and he aimed the spear of great power at the hollow of the dream beneath him.
"Whew!"
Then, he jerked his hand up and slammed the fluid spear into the ground.
It's just that in the next moment, the whole of Tokyo turns pale in an instant.
The brutal power of the demigods formed a huge pillar of light directly in the center of Tokyo, causing all the scenery around Fisher to begin to recede and turn into ashes.
The temperature around them gradually became scorching, and everything evaporated like the sun.
"Boom!"
Standing in the center, Fisher looked down intently, but suddenly heard an extremely ethereal sound, and he realized that it was his spear that had reached the edge of the dream.
But the spear containing such power turned into nothing in front of the dream in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.
Attack, gone?
Fisher's pupils narrowed slightly, and then he denied the idea.
It's not that it's gone, the fluid sword has the feeling of hitting, it's not that it's gone, it's more like this dream is too hard, so hard that I am afraid that even the power of the true god level can't penetrate it
No, it doesn't work with external forces, and if you can't penetrate it with the power of the true god in the inner part of the dream, let alone the outside.
"Teacher Fisher is really not good. I said."
And at this moment, the faint voice of Asuka behind him suddenly came.
Fisher subconsciously turned around, but was clinged to by an extremely cold and cold body, hugging his body tightly.
The biting chill instantly grabbed all the heat in Fisher's body, and then, Asuka's weight gradually increased, and began to become as heavy as a mountain.
At first, Fisher was able to hold on, but as the weight became more and more exaggerated, and even the ground where Fisher was standing began to crack, he couldn't bear it anymore and threw Asuka to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Boom!"
The buildings around him shook slightly, Fisher wiped the cold sweat on his face, and then lowered his head to hold the black hair scattered on the ground but still stared at his Asuka, he lowered his gaze, but when he looked at those scarlet eyes, the strength in his hand could not go further.
But Fisher didn't move, but Asuka stretched out her hand again and grabbed Fisher's neck tightly, making his breathing more and more difficult.
"Teacher Fisher, you. I can't go anywhere."
"Ahem"
As the sun set as the sun sank, the standoff between Fisher and Asuka above the ground was reflected in the light reflected from the outer glass walls of countless buildings, and the side face of Asuka with a crazy smile in the midst of her black hair was so clear.
I'm running out of time
"Whew"
Behind him, as if a dangerous wind was blowing, Fisher didn't know when Helaire would arrive.
If she directly took away the nature in her body, then for this world, I am afraid it means that everything is over.
Want to kill Asuka?
Death in the dream may mean real death, if you kill the owner of the dream, is it okay?
But
Did Asuka do something wrong?
She has been waiting for herself for 10,000 years, and the pain and loneliness in it can be known even from the narration of others, even from her three words full of pain
"Asuka lifted the dream first, okay?"
If this dream had been so easily dissipated, then it would have disappeared into the long river of history for 10,000 years, and it would not have existed here today, and it would have been difficult for the gods to dissolve. It's not just a dream, it's a revenge."
The expression on Fisher's face became more tangled, and he could feel the strength of Asuka beneath him getting heavier and heavier, dragging the power that he had sunk forever.
He tried to take a deep breath to help himself make up his mind, but the palm that pressed against his throat didn't stop
He may have wanted to apologize to Asuka, to apologize to her for the long wait, for the injustice she felt, otherwise it wouldn't have made her hate the world and herself so much, and made her want to take revenge on everything she had experienced.
But it is still unknown whether he has the qualifications to apologize to her for fate, maybe he can only apologize for himself?
"I'm sorry"
Fisher lowered his head, but the strength that should have been added to the hand that was holding Asuka's neck had not arrived.
He just looked at Asuka under him, but with the reflection of the setting sun, in the afterglow, he seemed to see the reflection of the glass wall on the building next to him.
In the mirror-like blurred reflection, he was in the same pose as Asuka, but with a huge difference.
But I saw that Asuka in the mirror did not put her hands on her neck, but put them on her sides as if she had given up, she was full of black hair, dressed in a simple magic costume, and her face was similar to Jasmine, and it was the same as the first time she saw her ten thousand years ago
She just quietly looked at Fisher in front of her, just silently weeping until she burst into tears.
And Fisher, who was pressed on him, was not wearing the white shirt and black trousers that he had always had, but a robe.
The Fisher in the mirror is exactly the reflection of Fisher, everything is exactly the same, except that the clothes on his body are different.
As Fisher turned his head to look at the reflection, Fisher in the mirror also looked at Fisher outside the mirror with a stunned expression.
But just looking at himself in the robe in the mirror, Fisher seemed to have figured it all out.
Why, he had this robe in the small room where he lived in Kyoto in his dreams
Why do everyone else die, but herself, Asuka said that she will never die.
Fisher was stunned and let go of Asuka's hand pinching Asuka under him, and in the mirror, Fisher, who was wearing a robe, also let go of Asuka's hand under him who was in tears and gave up struggling.
Unlike the motionless, puppet-like Asuka in the mirror, Asuka under Fisher at this moment directly turned against the guest, pressing Fisher to the ground, dragging him underground, the deepest part of this dream, the hazy place of consciousness.
"Smack!"
It wasn't until he was slammed to the ground and began to sink slowly into the ground that Fisher seemed to come back to his senses and looked back from the mirror beside him.
He turned his head to look at Asuka in front of him, who had her head lowered and her scarlet eyes exuding, and said softly,
"It turns out . That's right."
The scarlet eyes of Asuka in front of him were slightly stunned, but they still wanted to drag him to the ground unrelentingly,
"It's okay Mr. Fisher, we'll be together forever soon, and it's as compensation for the 10,000 years I've waited, okay?"
"You're not Asuka, are you?"
Fisher looked at the "Asuka" in front of him, and then lowered his gaze a little bit, removed from her, no longer looked at her, but more like looking at himself, and even the words seemed to be repeating to himself,
"Yes, she's the Secretary of Magic, the president of the Creation Society, and the leader of all those who have been transferred. But until the end, the chaos in her body will be uncontrollable, but it is clear that this dream, whether it is Asuka or Jasmine, is in control of herself, she should have the ability to control this dream, and even control the chaos in her body, but why can't she defeat the chaos in the end? β
Fisher muttered to himself, but looking at the "Asuka" with scarlet eyes in front of him, he finally understood everything,
She had always known that the chaos was interfering with her, but she had never been able to rule out his influence. Because the dream stays in her heart, Asuka who has always existed in my form no matter how much she expels the chaos in her body, as long as her heart is still waiting for me one day, the chaos will not be able to eliminate her heart for a day."
The robe, the robe I was wearing actually proved everything.
Wouldn't Asuka know that Fisher, a person from another world, wouldn't appear in a costume that only existed in their world?
She should have realized that it was nothing but a chaotic demagogy, that everything was false, that the dream was the memory, that the dream appeared in the image of Fisher, and to destroy it meant to kill the memory that awaited Fisher.
She didn't want to do that, so she struggled with it.
She just fantasized about the day, the day she had waited long enough to see Fisher again.
In that case, as long as you can create new memories with Fisher, even if you don't remember him, you won't regret it.
But a thousand years have passed, two thousand years have passed, three thousand years have passed.
She didn't wait for anything, but because she was afraid that the human memory would be too fragile to forget the promise of waiting for a long time, she had to force herself to deepen the memory, so that the dreams in her mind became more and more ingrained.
And so on and so forth, until one day she was really unable to choose between two sides.
Do you want to have the memory of Teacher Fisher and indulge the chaotic growth in your body, or do you want to completely forget it to cut off its evil forever?
"Asuka chose a third person, so she was trying to leave this world with that chaos. As long as she leaves here, the destruction caused by the chaotic growth will be meaningless to the world, and she will be able to keep the memories in her brain and live like this. But she just doesn't know that this world is on the edge, and until the end, she can't get out, right? β
As Fisher spoke, he raised his hand and gently clasped the hand of "Asuka" who was holding his neck in front of him, and his eyes reflected Asuka who was pinched and pressed to the ground and gave up struggling, and then, he stared at the scarlet "Asuka" in front of him and said softly,
So, she died on the way to escape in order to keep her memories, and her soul fell into the sea of souls and was pulled up by Ramastia. But even so, the memory she kept in her body still existed, and even turned into pollution, and it existed in the spirit world for so long."
The face of "Asuka" in front of her changed slightly, and she was about to say something, when she saw the fluid sword in Fisher's hand stretch out little and against her neck.
His pupils shrank, but they invisibly coincided with the robed figure of Fisher in the mirror, and then he said,
"The reason why this dream is indestructible is me, right? And you are not Asuka, you are just a representative of her obsession, or rather, you are [Dream]. β
As soon as these words came out, the expression of "Asuka" with scarlet eyes in front of her was slightly stunned, and then the expression on her face became more and more hideous, her figure suddenly began to squirm, and her voice began to become illusory.
"That bastard. She waited for 10,000 years willingly, without resentment, so I didn't know where to start. That soft persimmon, whether she was bullied by her parents or let down by you, she didn't resent why. Finally, I found the anchor point to fix it. You. Don't
"Don't you think!!"
Listening to the sound of the scarlet mist growing in front of him, Fisher lowered his head, but his heart became more and more twisted.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Asuka who was lying on the ground looking at him, as if she had never resented anyone, not even such an unfair fate.
Maybe the content of this dream is really what she wants.
A perfect family, a normal school life, a qualified lover
Maybe the world of dreams is what she wants to indulge in.
But why, when she watched in the mirror that Fisher was about to raise the blade to solve herself and break the dream, she was still so quiet, just looking at herself
As if to say,
"Finally seeing the real you, Mr. Fisher."
Fisher's hands trembled any longer, and he gritted his teeth and whispered reverently,
"I'm sorry, Asuka."
The next moment, the fluid sword was easily sent into Fisher's own neck.
"Click."
There is no sound of blood splattering.
There was only the whole dream, the loud clatter of shattering, and the growing and hideous roar of the dream. (End of chapter)
