Chapter 8: The Arrogant Twins
"From the moment I gave the original Takeya access to the Weapon of Mortal Sin, the single timeline split into countless parallel worlds, and the original individual also transformed from 'Takeya' to 'Adam', a prop that existed to collect the Weapon of Mortal Sin.
It's not that I didn't realize the possibility of his growth, but the goal of 'collecting the tools of great sin' hasn't changed, and I won't care about the other parts, anyway, the ending is already doomed.
So, we gave him the most crucial weapon of sin, the replica of arrogance, and with it, he gained the ability to travel through the world, and this is where the journey began.
Sure enough, it was the original individual, even if it was a fake, his ability was amazingly powerful, one after another, in order to find the weapon of the great sin, he wiped out the 'martial arts' of the various worlds on his journey.
In this way, he obtained all the six deadly sins except greed, and then, 'Adam' came to the last world and met the last 'Takeya', that is, the master of greed.
'Adam', who originally held the weapon of the six deadly sins, could not lose to an ordinary individual, even if he was the master of greed.
However, perhaps this is the wonder of fate, as the original 'Takeya' - 'Adam' preserved the personality of the prototype to the greatest extent, and that fatal gentleness made him defeated, a fiasco.
Then all the weapons of great sin were obtained by the last 'Takeya', and this multiverse, which was devastated by countless parallel worlds, was also terminated in his hands.
As the last 'Takeya', he gathered all the memories and wishes of the previous 'Takeya', and this transcendent power allowed him to even come into contact with us, the 'real' world.
Well, of course, this is also a lie.
If he had followed the original trajectory, he would not have been able to recognize the reality of the world in another 100 million years, but Yuko, that person's surprise was far beyond my imagination.
As an individual who has come into contact with the real in the unreal, her appearance has caused some unpredictable changes in the future that should have been completely dead.
So, in order to continue this plan, and in order to prevent the Weapon of Great Sin from infecting our world again, I deliberately let the ancestor shrine maiden Jing also come into contact with the real world.
These two people have different meanings for 'Takeya', so in the new reincarnation, he successfully broke the original reincarnation that arose because of 'Adam' and came to us.
At this point, his fate that we manipulated came to an end - didn't he, 'Takeya' think so, right? No, it's not just him, I'm afraid even you think so, right?
Really, I'm really underestimated, and the plan set up to see the future trend without being noticed by the opponent is called layout, do you think I will be embarrassed by a fake?
Ah, sorry, he doesn't even seem to be a fake, he's just one of the 'possibilities' that split off from the original 'Takeya', hmm...... A replica of a fake? It's a bit of a mouthful—but it's also interesting.
Adam's defeat was not the result of his efforts, but the arrangement I had prepared so that he could come to me.
In the same way, it is also in my calculations that the last 'Takeya' will be able to obtain all the complete instruments of sin, and finally even change the future of his world being locked down.
Even, even the 'betrayal' of Nanami now, and the idea of Yakumo Purple in the other world wanting to summon 'Takeya' back, I also expected it.
Why, you ask? Needless to say? Of course, that's a lot of fun.
At the end of the day, my goals have never changed.
It is inevitable that 'Takeya' will transform into 'Adam', and it is destined that 'Adam' will be destroyed by 'Takeya' in the end, even if an unexpected miracle happens, and in the end 'Adam' will win, I don't mind.
All I needed was the body that I had traveled to every world, defeated all the enemies, and finally succeeded in saving the world, and returned as a 'hero'.
It doesn't matter which soul is housed in this body, anyway, in the end, it will usher in the end of destruction, and the body memory left behind is the key, which is beyond the power of any weapon of great sin, and the Seven Shadow Butterfly created from this is what I am pursuing, the pure ultimate light.
Whether it's his ideas or his personality, everything about him is what I instilled in him, and as a machine that has been entered into 'Collect the Instruments of Sin and Save the World', he has fulfilled his mission beautifully.
So, look, sister, this farce is proof of your defeat, and they can't bring back the soul that has been banished, because his mission has been accomplished.
Yes, the mission I gave him has been accomplished.
Unfortunately, the miracle you had hoped for did not happen, and the props I made were only props until they were destroyed, and his soul was engraved with the fate I had prepared for him.
Now that the mission has been completed, the soul without the pull of fate is just an empty puppet with no value.
It was I who won, and the 'Wu Ye-kun' you gave high hopes to the end did not give birth to his own 'heart', and he was still guided by my carefully compiled 'fate' until he completely disappeared on the outer side of the world.
Then, according to the agreement, those memories will be accepted by me. ”
Flaunt? No, the blonde teenager was just stating a fact.
The raised hand was weakly lowered, and the evil fairy thought that he was not qualified to talk to the young man in front of him as a "sister", and the honorific title was more like a malicious mockery.
Luo Tianshu, the boy who single-handedly created the world of Wuye and gave him a cruel fate, is no longer an existence that anyone can fight against.
As he said, from the birth of Takeya to his demise, everything was in this person's calculations, and there was not a single cent of error, which was so accurate that it made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
From the boy, Wu didn't get a word of truth, all of which were lies prepared to make him fall into an elaborate trap.
The evil fairy looked into the young man's eyes, his gaze was always like this, he saw another existence through himself, his chest seemed to ache faintly, and bitterness and sadness slowly soaked her heart.
The Evil Fairy and the boy stood above the ruins of the Moon Capital, directly in front of the Gate of Books, but the people of Gensokyo who were fighting in front of him did not notice his existence.
It's not a clever way to hide it, it's just a matter of cognition.
Just as the frequency range that can be captured by the human ear is only 20~20000HZ, even if the frequency beyond this range exists, it cannot be received by people.
Now, the Gensokyo people in front of them are like this, Luo Tianshu has set himself up to be "beyond the scope of cognition", so even if he is standing here, no one can discover his existence.
Like a god.
Yes, for this world, Luo Tianshu, who created all this, is a real "god", even if his own combat power is not as good as a goblin.
However, is there still some unwillingness......
The evil immortal looked at Yakumo Zi and the others who were suppressed on the battlefield, and there was a little more despair between his eyebrows.
The boy's calculations have never been wrong, the gap between the real and the unreal is obvious, and the witch Jing from the real world can suppress everyone here, not to mention the mysterious Daintrian.
Luo Tianshu's idea is the cornerstone of the creation of this world, and it is the mysterious Black Book Ji who expresses it as a "work" in its entirety.
The outcome has long been decided.
Huo Qing'e, what does she want to do, because half of the responsibility for the chain of all these tragedies is on her, and it doesn't come from the maintenance of being a sister, in the final analysis, she is the same-
Fake......
She borrowed the identity of the evil fairy Huo Qing'e in the original real world plus the memory of the "singer", and made a copy of the so-called "sister" by Luo Tianshu.
All users of the Weapon of Mortal Sin could not escape the misery of being devoured by the Vessel of Mortal Sin, but only Luo Tianshu was an exception.
It's not that he's talented, it's that the price of being devoured is paid for by his sister.
So, he wants to take back his sister, who was devoured by tragedy.
If you want to reverse this desperate fate, you can't rely on the power of the weapon of great sin alone, which Huo Qing'e herself has proved.
As a created existence, she is fundamentally different from the original "sister" and cannot be recognized by Luo Tianshu, so he planned everything now.
After experiencing this "failure" of his own, he finally understood that he needed a power that could transcend the rules, a power that could transcend any rules.
Seven Shadow Butterfly.
This miracle from memory is the ultimate pursuit of the teenager.
A soul who has crossed countless despairs, is covered in bruises and still gritted his teeth on the thorny road, and finally saved the soul of the world, which is exactly what Luo Tianshu carefully prepared.
Destruction is the result of his calculations, and the memory of his body is the most important thing, and the pure Seven Shadow Butterfly created from this is an incomparable treasure.
The boy's approach has always been like this, and if you want to get something, you have to sacrifice something.
Sacrificing a miserable soul, but receiving enough power to work miracles, the bargain couldn't have been more cost-effective.
She understands.
Huo Qing'e understood that she had no qualifications or position to stop the teenager, no matter how hard she tried, her name would inevitably be on the list of compilers of this tragedy.
She is an accomplice to sin.
But, even then -
Even so, she wanted to ......!
"Eight Directions Ghost Binding Array."
"What?!"
The terrifying suppressive force suddenly fell on Huo Qing'e's body, and she fell directly to the ground, unable to move even a finger, and out of the corner of her eye, she only caught a glimpse of the familiar onmyoji slowly walking past her.
"No way, you ......"
Huo Qing'e's consciousness fell silent in a fluctuation of yin and yang techniques, and this strange fluctuation naturally attracted everyone on the battlefield.
When all eyes shifted to him, Yakumo Zi's eyes widened in disbelief: "What's the matter, Onmyoji...... There are two? ”
"Harumi", who was quietly circling with the shrine maiden in the field, also looked at the "other her" who appeared behind the door of the book in shock.
"This kind of breath is ......!"
Next to the second Qingming, the figure of the blonde boy who was gradually revealing like a dream bubble was greeting with a smile: "Ah, Qishi, are you surprised?" I brought her back. ”
“...... Did you do it, and why, what about the supremacy of your authenticity? "It's not surprising to see the appearance of the young man, Qingming-no, it should be Qishi, she also roughly understands.
The "other her" standing there is the "real Qingming" that exists in this story, and it is also a replica created with her as a reference.
"There are always exceptions to everything, and if it is used against you, 'Qingming' is enough." The young man spread his hands indifferently, not minding Qishi's ridicule.
And when the two were talking, Yakumo Purple was finally sure that although the young man in front of her seemed to be older than the blonde boy she had seen, the aura was the same.
"Defenseless, what a laid-back guy, uh——!"
As if he had been struck by lightning, Yakumo's right hand, which was about to attack the boy, suddenly fell into a state of paralysis that could not move.
"Sneak attacks are not okay, yo, Miss Yakumo," waving his hand from afar, the young man said, "Because your strength is at the monster level, in order not to be directly killed by you, I specially asked Daintellan to prepare an 'invincible mode' for me, so please don't waste any more efforts, aha." ”
"Don't be a flag, stupid," was mentioned, and Daintellan on the side reluctantly instructed: "I'm only giving you protection to the extent that you're not affected by the fantasy world, and that guy's attack can't be prevented." ”
"I know, I know, that's why I asked you to bring 'Qingming' to deal with her, didn't I? Whew—"
Exhaling softly, the young man put away the playful expression on his face and set his eyes on the body left behind by the protected "Takeya" not far away.
"Teacher Jing is in trouble to block the others, Dantrian, let 'Qingming' go and pull Qishi away, ten seconds is fine, I want to recover the prize, the story should be over."
