Chapter 695

Seems to sense the unease of the girl behind her, Nero chuckled softly, "Umu, it is nothing of note. I have you!"

"To have a companion with whom to share the pain is quite magnificent!"

"As long as you are here, I am the strongest Servant. Even the Enlightened One cannot keep up, and Praetor, the time has come for you to display your talent and surpass that man."

"You are not merely one who devotes yourself to battle; I believe that your weakness—the inability to ignore others and simply press forward—is precisely your strength."

"Then let us begin! You and I, a victory that transcends the enemy, is what befits this final battle!" Nero held her sword, *Aestus Domus Aurea*, and where the blade pointed, there lay the enemy!

Beneath the pitch-black dome, the golden Wheel of the Dharma began to slowly unfold!

And atop that small wheel of light, an even larger halo covered the entire Brahma realm!

Nero transformed into a crimson streak of light and shot forward. The Bodhi Buddha-light likewise pierced through this space; the Rose Crown and the light of the *Urna* intertwined and spiraled, and the moment they collided, they illuminated the entire Mooncell core area...

Wherever the data torrent swept, it stirred up energy vortices shaped like Klein bottles, and the backup calculation capacity of the entire unit was instantly exhausted.

"All that is born must perish, all sentient beings suffer in reincarnation; he who opens the path of enlightenment with a powerful will to survive already harbors divinity within his heart," the Buddha-voice was vast and boundless. No matter how Nero attacked, the Enlightened One parried them all with ease.

And in the midst of it, he dealt Nero a heavy blow!

】

In the Myriad Worlds

Everyone sighed; the situation was exactly as they had anticipated.

Nero was simply no match for the Enlightened One; the gap between them was like that of a firefly to the bright moon.

Nero could not possibly defeat the Enlightened One. If it had been Tamamo-no-Mae, there might have been a chance, exploding with power to reach her Nine-Tailed form.

But how could Nero change? She couldn't just be fighting and suddenly transform from a Heroic Spirit of Pan-Human History into Beast Nero, could she?

However, judging by past experience, the protagonist usually wins in the end. Everyone was very curious: how would Kishinami Hakuno manage to win this final battle?

【

With a boom, Nero was sent flying instantly, but relying on her astonishing martial arts, she forcibly steadied herself in mid-air and continued to attack the Enlightened One!

"I don't understand a word of what you're saying! I only need to bring victory to my Praetor!"

Even when facing such a powerful Enlightened One, Nero felt not a shred of confusion. Covered in wounds and blood, Nero's posture was less tragic...

... and more like the fury of one about to have something precious snatched away!

*Aestus Domus Aurea* tore through the void, transforming into a fire dragon that lunged at the Enlightened One!

Crimson and golden torrents collided madly in the gaps of time. The crimson sword aura tore open the dome composed of blue-white crystal lattices, only to be covered by golden light in an instant!

Nero exerted all her strength to reach the side of the Enlightened One and swung her longsword with all her might!

But at the moment of approach, the Enlightened One's palm extended with speed beyond comprehension, striking Nero and causing her to cough up blood!

A mist of fresh blood soared, and the King's figure fell like scattered crimson petals.

Despite Nero exhausting every trick in her arsenal, she could not harm the Enlightened One in the slightest.

The Enlightened One formed the *Abhaya Mudra*, and eighty-four thousand manifestations appeared around him. Each manifestation chanted a different sutra, transforming into chains that locked down the collapsing space.

The Wheel-Turning King suspended high above the dome activated in an instant, and a millionth-of-a-second gap appeared in the internal timeline of the Mooncell.

Then, a golden holy spear descended, piercing Nero's body in an instant, and shot toward the ground with even greater speed!

"The path is not unique; just as the good and evil of man have no inherent value, human perception will not change the way the world exists."

"King of War, stained with blood, attain Nirvana here."

"Witness the end of the world; this is your final salvation."

"There is no need to show off your power before me; no matter what strength you possess, I shall not fear."

"I merely continue my meditation, waiting for the moment to arrive."

The terrifying impact force knocked Nero from the top level down to the lowest level of the spiritron world, 380,000 kilometers away from the *Calamity of the Heavens*!

And in an instant, the terrifying shockwave, accompanied by horrifying heat, vaporized everything within a radius of several tens of thousands of meters.

It transformed the surrounding terrain into a ring, becoming a place like a grave for Nero!

The entire earth turned into scorched soil, falling into deathly silence!

Chapter 358: The Enlightened One's Noble Phantasm! EX: *Reincarnation of Unity*! Ultimate Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm! Zabiko: You hit me this hard?!

【

The ring-shaped crater became a borderland, Nero's grave. Kishinami Hakuno also received the impact, kneeling on the ground, severely wounded and on the verge of death, but it was not over yet!

Brilliant Buddha-light suddenly erupted from the Enlightened One sitting on the lotus throne, and the shadows of three thousand worlds of the lotus flower appeared behind him!

"EX Noble Phantasm—*Reincarnation of Unity*."

"When the Wheel of Heaven is proclaimed, all sentient beings, all suffering, return to me."

"Under Great Enlightenment, humanity shall become one here."

At this moment, the number of Wheel-Turning Kings suspended in the sky increased to seven. The wheels rotated slowly, and the entire horizon was illuminated by endless Buddha-light!

The Mooncell's calculation capacity reached a terrifying number at this moment. Not only did the timeline fracture, but even this world began to blur.

This is the ultimate anti-personnel Noble Phantasm!

It concentrates energy rivaling the principle of human creation onto a single person, a final liberation to free them from suffering.

The longer human history continues, and the more human territory expands, the more powerful this Noble Phantasm becomes!

As long as it is a living thing, it is absolutely impossible to resist this immense damage!

Sanskrit characters appeared on the dome of the Mooncell, and the data lattices reorganized into the form of Mount Sumeru in the Buddha-light. The Enlightened One formed the *Abhaya Mudra* and pressed his right hand down slowly!

"All Dharmas are extinguished."

The magnificent Buddha-sound echoed throughout the Seraph. Seven golden wheels manifested behind the Enlightened One, and then a terrifying blow fell from the high heavens, crashing into the earth at a speed of one-millionth of a second!

Under the sky full of Buddha-light, Kishinami Hakuno's thin figure was fragile to the extreme at this moment.

With a boom, the entire Mooncell core fell into complete silence!

【Dio: "Kishinami Hakuno... is gone?!"】

【Cu Chulainn: "Nonsense, are you blind? She took such an ultimate EX anti-personnel Noble Phantasm; if she could survive that, she wouldn't be human."】

【Aqua: "No, is the Enlightened One really that ruthless?"】

【Loki: "Simply put, it's a *Deus ex machina*; there's no question of ruthlessness. To this Enlightened One, death is a better liberation."】

【Aizen: "When absolute truth descends, the meaning of the struggles and bonds that humans pride themselves on instantly loses its value. The stories we cherish might just be illusions in the eyes of a higher dimension."】

【Kyubey: "That's right. Whether it's Madoka or Homura, talking about bonds, friendship, or love—I simply don't understand."】

【Sakata Gintoki: "You got beaten up badly, do you understand now?"】

【Nero: "Praetor... I am sorry."】

【Kishinami Hakuno: "It has nothing to do with you, Emperor Nero. If you want to blame someone, blame that bald... Enlightened One for being too ruthless. I'll definitely get even for this later!"】

"Hiss..." Merlin gasped. It wasn't an act; he really had goosebumps!

Was it because the Enlightened One hit Kishinami Hakuno so hard?

That was the Enlightened One's ultimate anti-personnel Noble Phantasm! In terms of damage to an individual, there isn't a single Noble Phantasm that has appeared so far that can compare to it!

Theoretically, no one on Earth could withstand the attack of this Noble Phantasm.

If, according to the Indian philosophy of Brahma, all humans are reincarnations of Brahma...

... then that philosophy, which holds that all humans are the same—in a situation where such a philosophy can hold true, the Buddhahood of all humanity is inevitable, because the ultimate end of all humans is to be reincarnated as the Enlightened One.

This is the reincarnation that saves all sentient beings from suffering and returns all humanity to him.

But logically speaking, the winner here should have been Kishinami Hakuno, right?

Merlin curled a lock of silver hair around his finger. It wasn't that Nero defeated the Enlightened One—that was impossible. The victory she spoke of was Kishinami Hakuno using a Command Spell to kill Twice.

And the Enlightened One did not intervene, which allowed Twice to be killed.

"Is it because Kishinami Hakuno's luck and miracles accumulated in this timeline were insufficient?"

Merlin suddenly realized. Yes, whether Kishinami Hakuno could defeat Twice depended on the miracles and growth she had accumulated up to that point.

If even a fraction of that miracle were missing, she would fall into such an ending.

Where was it... Merlin thought carefully. It seemed to be... Twice and Kishinami Hakuno had a falling out, and Twice, holding no expectations, had the Enlightened One kill Kishinami Hakuno directly?

"Wuwuwu, being a protagonist is too hard to manage; aren't there any characters who are simple and powerful?!"
