Chapter 156 - Approaching the End(4)

Within a circle formed from golden fire, Yu Yan was protecting Miyuki while her eyes glanced at Tatsuya. Tatsuya was fully covered in a black dark muddy energy of some kind. It was getting thicker, liquifying, and flowing from Tatsuya. Black mud was filling the air while it spilled on the ground like liquid. Even the Sage Emperor was trapped at that side of the barrier.

"The barrier won't hold!" Miyuki said, staring at Tatsuya.

"What is going on?!" Yu Yan shouted so that her voice was not covered by the sound of her shadow clones and the six generals fighting. Six generals were strong... they were strongest in Deity Realm. But, Yu Yan had once reached a higher realm, if it wasn't for Sage Emperor, who had devoured too much of Heavenly Dao. That stopped her from stepping into that realm.

Even so, she could defeat them in one on one. The problem was she was only alone... they were six. On top of that, Miyuki was distracted, and Tatsuya... she didn't even know what was happening with Tatsuya.

That dark muddy energy coming out from his body was strong enough that it kept Sage Emperor at bay.

Heavenly Energy started appearing in front of her face. Soon, it formed the scene that was happening in Tatsuya's inner world. Greyone and Tatsuya were staring at each other. The moment they clashed, everything disappeared.

Miyuki glanced back at Yu Yan, and, the six generals, Five of her duplicates appeared around her.

The first one's hair turned blue, leviathan wings from her back, a blue diamond appeared on her forehead.

The second one's skin turned to blue and hairs white.

The third one's body was covered by a red flaming shawl.

The fourth one wore a white robe and had a staff in her hand.

The fifth had armor formed of her earth surrounding her.

The five of them joined Yu Yan in the fight against the Six.

Yu Yan let out a breath, "thank you."

Miyuki just nodded and turned to look at Tatsuya. She wanted to look deeper, but his defense got in the way. She was barely able to see flashes of what was happening.

Inside,

A body rolled in the grey void, trying to gain some balance. But before the figure barely managed to attain balance, a leg appeared and kicked the rolling body again, thrusting it further back.

Tatsuya created swords to create a foothold and support gaining some ground.

Greyone waved his hand, and the sword disappeared, "are you forgetting!! Those are my powers!! mine!!"

Tatsuya burst out Heavenly Energy from his palms, thrusting his body upwards. He barely deflected the power from the coming punch and kicked towards the Greyones head.

Greyone tightened his fist and raised his other arm to defend against the leg.

'Shuyun...' Long Shuyun's face flashed past in front of Tatsuya's eyes.

Heavenly Energy burst apart from Tatsuya's shin. At the same time, Heavenly Energy burst from Greyone's arms, nullifying that as he laughed, "are you forgetting? I am you! Everything you know, I know. And what you don't know, that too I know!"

'Ning'Er'

"Piercing Rain!" Ning'Er's warm yet cold face appeared in front of him.

Swords made of thunder, fire, earth, wind, and ice appeared in the sky, falling towards the Greyone.

Greyone glanced up with an unruly smile, "Piercing rain!"

The same amount of swords appeared above his head, upside down and thrust upwards to collide with the ones Tatsuya created.

'Ziyun...' A six and seven-year-old Ziyun appeared in front of his eyes.

"Freezing rain!"

Freezing cold rain dropped down from the sky, freezing everything it touched.

"Hahahahaha... is this your way of saying your goodbyes?! That was Ziyun? I know those too! like the one from Yu Yan!"

He pointed his hand upwards, "come forth flames!! burn the sky!!"

A small appeared flame appeared in the sky, it flickered and burst apart, spreading around, covering the whole sky. The cold rain fell on the grey word, only to be stopped by the fire across the sky. The moment a cold droplet fell, it froze the flames. But soon, a new fire replaced it.

Greyone looked at Tatsuya, staring at the fire, "you see...I am you." He sighed, tired of useless fighting, "just give up the resistance now?"

A small amount of GreyMist appeared on Tatsuya's hand. The moment it appeared, sharp pain rose in Tatsuya's whole body.

Greyone held his head, "ugh!!! Don't do that!! It will only destroy our soul!!"

Tatsuya stopped using the GreyMist and knelt down on the floor, taking deep breaths. He really was out of options; everything he knew, everything he learned, Greyone could use that.

Not only that, he had more control over the bloodlines that he bought, making him even more powerful. The only thing that could give him the upper hand was decomposition and regrowth. Both were unusable inside his soul.

Greyone walked near him, "you see, you cannot defeat me, obediently merge with me. You don't want Miyuki to be in more danger? Right? We can protect her... together."

Tatsuya let out a breath, "Sage Emperor is stronger than I expected. Without decomposition and regrowth, you cannot defeat him."

"Psss! Right Right! Those two powers are your essence. Us merging would block it until we are completely one!" Greyone shook his head, knitting his brows... But, soon it turned to smile, "oh well! I will just take Miyuki and run and hide for a while. Your priority is to protect Miyuki, isn't it?"

Tatsuya stood up, with his eyes closed, brows furrowed.

"Oh right! Your emotions... You don't want the other humans to get hurt! Don't worry, once I kill the Sage Emperor, I will revive them! You know we can do that."

Tatsuya opened the system store and looked at the system coins. There were six trillion system coins. After the first month, nearly everyone had reached Heavenly Fate Rank. Many like Ye Yan, Ye Zong, Ye Mo, had achieved Dao of Dragons Realm.

With the sudden increase in their realm, contribution points increased from one or two billion to fifty and sixty billion.

Since time went faster in Myriad Painting over the years, they had collected too many contribution points.

Greyone wanted to stop Tatsuya from doing anything, but he realized what he was doing, "I see...Yes, that is a good idea! But, you really think that will kill me? If so, you really don't know me."

Tatsuya glanced at him and started buying every bloodline that he saw from Primal Chaos Dimension. Evil God's, Pheonix's, Dragon's, Devil's, and every else bloodline.

Soon, he moved to soul society, from there to Eos, to Gaia, to Hydaelyn, to Divine Continent, to their earth, and finally to Kaguya's Sanctuary.

"Hahahahaha, Right!! So you do know what I am!!! Who I am!!! That's it!! This power!! All mine!!!"

Tatsuya let out his hand, letting out a breath. He looked up at Greyone; his skin started cracking, dark light poured out from his skin. The dark muddy darkness poured from the cracks, covering the whole world. The boundless grey void started changing again. The darkness covered it... fire, ice, mountains, volcanos, lava, earth, storms, broken planets, red stars, white stars, black holes were born in the boundless void. It was fully broken, destroyed, at its end. Everything was reaching its end.

Not only inside, but the outside,

The Titanic Humanoid formed of Amalgamation had increased its size massively. It was already as big as the translucent Sage Emperor. Now suddenly, it had started growing even huger. Sage Emperor was surrounded by vast Heavenly Energy, fighting against the Amalgamation. But, no matter how or what he did. It was devoured by the Amalgamation.

Now it was growing even further, its power becoming even more devastating, almost out of control.

The golden flames protecting Miyuki and Yu Yan by forming a sphere was shrinking.

"Miyuki, we can't stay here for long... we would have to fight back!!" She was becoming even more worried after seeing the monstrosity... It was growing even further. Even the space that Tatsuya had sealed was getting devoured from the top. Although their clones were fighting, it was barely a stalemate. This way they would lose the stalemate.

Miyuki sighed in relief and glanced at Yu Yan, "Hold on a little longer, I will be back!"

"Where are you going?! How will you leave?!" Yu Yan was baffled by her.

Miyuki stared at the Alamgamation; her eyes seemed to pass through it, to its core where Tatsuya. With his defenses down...

Inside,

Tatsuya watched at the greyone, who had changed beyond recognition.

Sharingan, Rinnegan, White Eyes, Green Eyes, Blue Eyes, Complex Patterned Eyes, Dark Eyes, Hollow Eyes, Eyes with Three Pupil, and many others were there. They were moving on the Dark Energy that was covering Greyone's whole body. The body, muscles swollen into tens of meters high. Tails, Wings, Arms, Legs were dangling outside the darkness.

His eyes moved to converge at the same point as they looked at Tatsuya at the same time, "You think this could kill me?!! You are wrong! I am..." "I am Amalgamation of all things! End of all things!! This will only make me stronger!!"

Tatsuya didn't reply, just stared in front of him as if he had lost all thought.

That was until a white light shined on this dark world. Slowly from within the Dark Light, Miyuki stepped forward.

"Onii-sama..." Miyuki tightly hugged Tatsuya. But, he didn't reply... he just stared at the distance.

"Onii-sama?"

Miyuki slowly pulled back and caressed his face. The moment their skins touched, Miyuki's eyes became blank as well.

In front, Amalgamation widened all his eyes, realizing something.

"Heh... Two can play that game! The last one to win would be me!"

His muddy darkness started spreading all over, slowly consuming everything that stood in its way. The only place, the only ones, his muddy darkness couldn't touch, was where Tatsuya and Miyuki were stranding.

It's darkness covered more and more area, everything that was created had turned dark.

Time passed, Amalgamation covered everything, the things that were, the things that were created from the infusions.

Much time later, maybe an hour, a day, or just a few seconds, light returned to Tatsuya and Miyuki's eyes.

Miyuki calmly looked into Tatsuya's eyes, "did you succeed?"

Tatsuya raised his hand to touch his forehead where a symbol appearing on his forehead, "Yes."
