Chapter 146

【The gale trembled, and a snow-white figure was kicked flying again like a cannonball. Before the residual force on her body had dissipated, she was nailed firmly to the wall like a hanging painting.】

【The white-haired royal sister walked over slowly and picked up the Dry Leaf and Mo Ye projected by Yukino.】

【"Snap."】

【She snapped them with her hand and said indifferently: "What is the use of such a projection that only has the appearance? Without understanding its internal structure, it is nothing but a hollow shell."】

【The young girl Yukino gritted her teeth.】

【She could not refute it; this was a total crushing from beginning to end, a gap in quality.】

【She furrowed her brows and kept thinking. In an instant, a flash of inspiration streaked across her mind like a thunderbolt. She stared fixedly at the Dry Leaf and Mo Ye held tightly by the white-haired Yukino, as if she had realized...】

【Then, in order to verify her idea, the young girl Yukino exerted force with her feet and charged over again.】

【"Clang!"】

【A crisp and melodious sound exploded again. The white-haired royal sister was slightly startled and dodged to the side.】

【In this collision, Yukino deconstructed the structure of Red A's Dry Leaf and Mo Ye.】

【One slash tore through the air, forcing the white-haired Yukino to move for the first time!】

【Beside them, the corners of Luo Shu's mouth curled into a faint, ambiguous smile.】

In reality, many Earthlings felt their hearts tremble, and at the same time, a doubt arose in their hearts.

"Hmm, why do I feel like Heroic Spirit Yukino is teaching her?"

Soon, someone cleared up the confusion.

"Don't doubt it, that's exactly it."

"Black A is like our past selves when we see our dark history; although we want to kill them off, it's more out of frustration that they aren't living up to expectations."

"Teaching them a lesson is instinct, otherwise, erasing dark history wouldn't be satisfying, right?"

"That makes sense. Just look at Brother Luo, who is eating melon seeds and watching the show on the side."

"He's laughing so happily, hahaha~(▽)/~!"

"Two Yukinos are fighting, and Brother Luo is saying, 'Let me have some melon seeds first.'"

"Emmmm, it seems that no matter who wins, he can still win the beauty."

"Envious, my eyes are turning red."

……

【"You really are tenacious~."】

【The white-haired Yukino raised her right arm, easily flicking away the incoming sharp blade, and said indifferently: "Because a Heroic Spirit is the sublimation of a living being after death, and we are originally the same person."】

【"Does that mean every time we collide, you gain a portion of my power?"】

【Yukino curled her lips into a smile, "Yeah, that's right. So, are you going to run?"】

【"You really are..."】

【The white-haired Yukino erupted. The instant her voice fell, her slender figure exerted force, and she suddenly disappeared amidst a burst of explosive airflow.】

【When she reappeared, she was already above Yukino, slashing down with a blade that tore through the violent airflow!】

【"How dare you say that!!"】

【A cold voice fell. The white-haired Yukino's blade cut into Yukino's Kanshou and Bakuya, and the blue circuit magic patterns lit up. Yukino's eyes suddenly widened.】

【She saw it.】

【She saw everything.】

【The ending of the person named Yukinoshita Yukino!】

【Boom!】

【A terrifying roar exploded inside the castle, and the storm blew Yukino away.】

【Yukino fell to the ground, her pupils shrinking violently, her face stiff. She forgot to get up, and every cell in her body was subconsciously trembling in fear.】

【"Did you see it?"】

【The white-haired Yukino seemed to have a calm expression, "Then let's look at it one more time."】

【With a roar, the biting gale blew the corners of her clothes, and a deep blue flame burned on her body.】

【What I have reached is...】

【The ending!】

【Following the incantation, Yukino's pale hair danced in the flames.】

【The ground cracked, the blue flames suddenly expanded, and in an instant, the world changed.】

【Under the twilight, a lonely figure stood alone on a high hill.】

【Everywhere were the remains of swords, like a lonely graveyard.】

【The white-haired Yukino stood alone on the high hill and said calmly: "Do you understand? I am the ideal you realized, I am your final ending."】

【Swish!】

【The young girl Yukino was more impulsive than ever, angrily wielding her twin blades and charging up.】

【"Clang——!"】

【The white-haired Yukino caught it with one blade, her eyes calmly looking at the young girl's gritted-teeth reflection, "So that's how it is... You can't admit it, you can't accept reality?"】

【"Then do you still remember why you wanted to become an ally of justice?"】

【Clang!】

【With a flick of her arm, the young girl Yukino was thrown behind her, back-to-back with her.】

【Two slender, beautiful figures stood back-to-back on the high hill under the twilight, as if they had become one person.】

【A faint voice drifted from behind Yukino, "You remember... that figure you couldn't forget, that woman named Yukinoshita Haruno, who was your own sister."】

【"Yes, Yukinoshita Yukino, your ideal is hollow, it is fake."】

【"Because..."】

【"It was borrowed from the start!"】

【The young girl Yukino's eyes went dazed for a moment, remembering her younger self, under the moonlight, asking that gentle woman about the past.】

【That woman curled her lips into a smile, "Me? I used to be an ally of justice!"】

【That smile was too bright, and too happy...】

【It made people yearn for it, made people want to reach it!】

【The young girl Yukino's eyes became calm and firm, "Even so, this ideal is absolutely not wrong!"】

Holy crap, Haruno can also show this kind of expression?

Hiratsuka Shizuka was so shocked that her eyeballs were about to pop out, as if she had seen a ghost.

If one were to say that the Yukinoshita Yukinos of the two worlds still had many similarities—one pursuing justice, the other pursuing correctness, and the heart wanting to help others being the same—then Haruno was purely possessed by a ghost.

She shivered, lit a cigarette, and felt a trace of melancholy amidst her confusion.

Sure enough, if there are enough parallel worlds, then everyone has almost infinite possibilities.

……

【"Still refusing to give up...?"】

【The white-haired Yukino's voice gradually became angry, "An ally of justice? Don't make me laugh!"】

【"What can a woman like you help others with!!"】

【"Arrogant!"】

【She was furious, turned around, raised one arm, and stabbed a blade through Yukino's thigh. Blood trickled out, so fast that the young girl Yukino couldn't react in time.】

【She casually followed up with another blade.】

【"Hypocrisy! It's nothing but self-satisfaction!"】

【Puchi——!】

【Kanshou and Bakuya instantly tore through her calf, and another spray of blood erupted!】

【Each slash was fiercer than the last!】

【Completely different from before, every slash drew blood!】

【"Arrogance!"】

【One blade painfully pierced Yukino's abdomen. Even Luo Shu on the side twitched his brows, wanting to stop her, but he held back.】

【"The adult world is about trade-offs, because the beautiful things in the world are limited!"】

【"If you have them, I don't!"】

【"The ideal that everyone can be happy—how arrogant!"】

【The terrifying sharp blade danced, the Noble Phantasm tore through the air, and the white-haired Yukino's furious voice exploded, like an angry lioness.】
