Chapter 118: Passers-by
"Ya———— ————!!!!"
That voice was the will of the Westward Demon, and it contained the strong will of the first two masters of the Vessel of Great Sins before Yuko.
The weapon of the great sin of gluttony, the existence of evil that was once known from the mouth of the gods, once showed its great strength in Kaguyahime's body, and today, it has appeared in front of Takeya again, and it is still at this juncture!
And unlike Kaguya's sense of disobedience at that time, the westward demon at this time, Yuko, who had six wings growing on his back, completely inherited the smell of sin on Shenqi's body.
Let's put it another way -
Now that she is manipulating Youzi, it may not be the Westward Demon anymore, but her, the god of the demon world - Shenqi.
It was an instinct like a natural enemy, and all the demonic power that Wu Ye could control quickly shrank back into the depths of his body like a tide, replaced by a flame that could not be measured by the concept of strength or weakness-
The instrument of the great sin of greed.
"What's going on? Hey, you-"
The supply of demonic power suddenly stagnated, and Yakumo Zi hurriedly turned around, but what he saw was Takeya wrapped in blue flames, and suddenly, an indescribable fear rose from the bottom of his heart.
Yuko's voice couldn't reach Yakumo's ears, or rather, to her, it was just a roar that didn't make any sense.
It's just that in Takeya's performance, she seems to see a different meaning.
The words that came to his lips came to an abrupt end, and Yakumo's dull gaze fell on Takeya's body, and before he could think about it, his body had already subconsciously reacted in retreat.
"Is that so? Is that actually the case? Damn it! Damn it, it's hateful, it's abominable——!! Wu also vented his anger angrily, but everything was already useless.
The panic that everything was out of control made Wu Ye feel the powerlessness again-
The powerlessness of being played with by fate.
The guy who was supposed to appear in the demon world appeared in front of him at this juncture, which is a development that Wu can't imagine no matter what.
What kind of guy is Shenqi, although Wu Ye can't say for sure, but at this moment, she is possessed by Yuko and appears at this time, it is absolutely impossible to say hello.
The power of the realm stopped unconsciously, and Wu also deeply understood that if Shenqi came, then the previous way to liberate Yuko by weakening the Westward Demon was already an extravagant hope.
What's worse is that at this time, his flames suddenly became restless, just like when they met Shenqi for the first time, the flame of greed and sin always couldn't help but want to devour each other, and at this time, they were also beating eagerly.
Like a rotting wolf that smelled blood, these restless blue flames poured out of Takeya's body frantically, and Takeya, bathed in the fire, was like a demon, exuding a depraved aura all over his body.
"What the hell is going on with you...... guy!"
Yakumo Zi's questioning may only be responded to in Takeya's ears, but now he is already doing his best to suppress these greedy fires that are hovering on the edge of the rampage.
Not anymore!
Takeya, who gritted his teeth in support, understood that his persistence was meaningless until these endless malice, and delaying would not solve anything.
What to do, get out of here first?
Takeya's first thought was to escape, after all, the damage of these greedy flames to the weapon of sin was devastating, whether it ignited the demon world or eliminated Kaguyahime, it was enough to prove its power.
If you continue to stay here, I'm afraid that the next person who will be burned by herself will be Yuko!
That's the only thing that doesn't work!
Enduring the suffocation caused by the flames, Wu Ye was distracted and exported another force-
“the——world!”
The gray-white courtyard cut off Yakumo's anger and suppressed the restlessness of the greedy fire, and Takeya, who was taking a breath, suddenly saw the still bright eyes on the ground.
It is not a deep color stained with decay and sin, but a slightly clear color of flowers.
The color of cherry blossoms.
The sharpness of the wings was obscured by the soft light, and the angel who had broken free from the shackles of time flew into the sky, destroying the courtyard that had been built so hard along the way.
"Y-you're Yuko?!" Takeya shouted in surprise, and although there was no evidence, he could be sure that the existence in front of him was not Shenqi.
Despite the six extra wings, Yuuko didn't seem to feel any discomfort, the pale courtyard was shattering, the world's time was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flames of greed were beginning to stir again.
But Yuko didn't seem to see this, she just looked at Takeya with a smile, and then suddenly said, "Sorry, Takeya, I lied." ”
"Huh?" Wu Ye was stunned, and his outstretched hand stiffened in mid-air.
"Actually, I've been worrying about what I came to this world for, who had to die as Yuyuko, and what is the need for me to exist when I died just to die."
Yuko muttered to herself, although the words themselves were full of sadness, but her expression looked very calm, and even a faint sense of relief.
"Now, I finally understand."
When the pale courtyard was completely shattered, Takeya only heard Yuko say-
"I, the person who traveled to the west, was born in this world for the only purpose, and that is to meet you, yes, that's all, that's all."
The wine glass full of sin has been melted into Yuko's body, and at this moment, she is holding the long sword of sin that makes Takeya's pupils shrink.
"This is my last request, and I can't let everyone's efforts so far go in vain, so—please, Takeya, please bury me with her in eternal darkness."
"The Instrument of the Deadly Sin of Lust......"
Takeya, who recognized Yuko's holding, fell into an inextricable stupor, and the flames on his body had long been gushing out uncontrollably, and that sword had the ability to confuse people's hearts, and Takeshi already knew it.
But what Yuuko did was not use its power, but simply used it as the last straw to overwhelm herself.
The flames of greed have long since finally gotten out of control.
The roaring flames that gushed out ignited the huge Westward Demon Phantom, which was obviously an existence that had been completely peeled off, and Yuko's body was actually scorched black by the flames, but she only smiled faintly, even if the screams of pain couldn't stop coming out in her shadow, she only smiled faintly.
"You bastard!" Now that time has returned to normal, seeing her friend's body being so brutally hurt, Yakumo Murasaki can no longer sit idly by, and the power of friendship overcomes her instinctive fear, and she fearlessly pounces on Takeya's flames.
Takeya froze in place, unable to do anything, and Yakumo Zi let alone attack, facing him who was bathed in the fire of greed, Takeya, who couldn't control the raging flames at all, could only watch Purple Moth fall from the sky.
Between the lightning and flint, two friends were injured one after another because of their relationship, even if it was not out of their original intentions, but as the natural initiator, Wu Ye's spirit has reached the limit.
He didn't understand the meaning of Yuko's words, and he couldn't understand why the other party had to choose such a future.
It's just that I once felt extremely ironic, that the future that I thought was right was trampled on, and that the choices I thought were right were trampled.
Purple, who was once omnipotent, was burned by this flame, and Yuko, who always smiled and showed the way for herself, was being swallowed by this flame, what is the meaning of the "powerful" she dreamed of?
What is the "happy" future that I have been pursuing?
If it can only be used to hurt friends, what is the point of this kind of power?!!!
The soaring flames seemed to laugh at Takeya's powerlessness, raging and shouting on the ground, Yuko's tragedy and Murasaki's despair drove Takeya to the brink of collapse step by step.
Stop it......
Please stop quickly......
Pain and despair lingered in his ears, and Takeya humbly begged for a miracle, and at that moment, it seemed like a joke for him to build a Gensokyo where everyone could live happily.
Obviously I want to save, I obviously want to bring them happiness, obviously yes, obviously everything is right, why? Why is this happening?
Seeing his friend being ignited by his own flame, in Takeya's heart, the balance of reason had tilted to a very dangerous level.
Stop it......
Please, stop......
Already, I can't stand it anymore...... Let's stop...... Let's stop...... Stop it......
Tears are a sign of cowardice, but because of the mask, no one can see his heart-wrenching sorrow at this moment, looking at the two friends on the earth surrounded by flames, witnessing this irreversible end like a passerby seems to have become his only remaining job.
