Chapter 305: Terrifying blow
In a military zone in Japan, several pilots quickly gathered. The army station's general received a direct order from the president, mobilizing one of the country's most powerful weapons – super planes designed exclusively for extreme use and dangerous missions. With their extreme agility, stealth capabilities, integrated sensor packages, and modern weapons, these planes stood as Japan's most potent assets.
The best pilots in the country were assembled in this military station. "Alright, listen up, soldiers. This mission is ultra-secret, classified as SSS. Our targets are atomic-level monsters."
Addressing the lined-up pilots, the general, along with several assistants, proceeded to explain the mission. Images of Minene, Yuno, and Tsubaki appeared on the screen, along with their information.
Initially skeptical, the pilots found it hard to believe the information. Every word from their general sounded like it was from a science fiction movie. Lethal weapons in human form? Humans capable of flying through the skies without any equipment or machinery? Evolution? Supernatural energy? It all seemed too fantastic to be true, but when the satellite video and the fierce battle in the city played on the screen, disbelief turned into acceptance.
The brutal fight made them inhale sharply – this was not something a human could do. The government couldn't lie about this, especially with atomic-level humanoid monsters.
"It's hard to believe, but at this very moment, while we're here talking, those monsters are destroying Sakurami City. Thousands of civilians have died, and many of our soldiers have fallen victim to their attacks. Immediate assistance is needed. You are the only ones fast enough to confront these calamities. You have authorization to use any means to destroy these monsters. Good luck, soldiers. The future of thousands depends on you."
"Sir!"
With a military salute, all the pilots quickly boarded the planes, fully aware of the danger of this mission. Many of them might not survive today, but as soldiers, they were prepared for this – to die for their country, for their people.
"God bless us."
Watching the planes take off, the general couldn't help but sigh heavily. Given the capabilities of these monsters, killing them wouldn't be easy, even with over 100 fighter jets going after them. The general hoped for a miracle, and if God existed, he wished for success for his soldiers.

Simultaneously, in the sky over Sakurami City, the explosions and energy fluctuations grew increasingly brutal. Two figures in the sky engaged in a savage battle, especially with those space bombs wreaking havoc. If Tsubaki hadn't been exchanging her body with other matter, she would have died long ago.
"I can't keep this up," Tsubaki thought, sweat and fatigue accumulating. She was aware that defeat was imminent; none of her attacks could harm Minene, who was essentially a walking bomb. Manipulating time and space left Tsubaki helpless, unable to penetrate Minene's barrier. Meanwhile, Minene's attacks became increasingly brutal.
Feeling her life force deplete visibly with each use of her ability, Tsubaki realized she couldn't continue like this. She needed Yuno to intervene.
Even now, she couldn't believe that Yuno stood on equal footing against Minene. It was clear that Minene was only using her spatial attribute; she hadn't unleashed her 'Time' yet. When she fought Yuno, Minene was pushed to her limits, using all her powers. There was a clear difference in combat skills and talent.
This confirmed how terrifying Yuno was. Unfortunately for Tsubaki, Minene became more aggressive.
"Damn brats!" Minene bit her lip, teetering on the edge of her thoughts. She couldn't get too close, or else Yuno, who eyed her like a predator, would kill her. The death of her clones had left a small trauma in Minene's mind, and cold sweat ran down her body.
Despite the fear, Minene knew she had to do something. Yuno was compressing more energy, and Minene was sure it didn't bode well. For a moment, she hesitated to escape, but her Diary didn't provide information about fights; it focused on escape. She couldn't predict what Yuno was trying to accomplish.
"I have no choice... I'll have to use it," Minene thought, terrified of using Time. However, it was too late.
"It's ready..." Yuno finished charging her attack. A malicious smile appeared on her face as she teleported in front of Tsubaki, bringing down her katana with force. There was no doubt – she intended to kill Tsubaki.
"What?!" Unable to believe it, Minene couldn't comprehend Yuno's action. She launched a surprise attack on her ally. Yuno wanted to kill her companion.
However, seeing Yuno's malevolent smile, Minene had a bad feeling.
*Shiiiiiii. Minene's Diary sounded, causing panic as her body flickered.
"Die!"

"Gasai-san... You're cruel." Surprised to see the katana about to cut her, Tsubaki opened her eyes. A smile formed on her face. For her victory, Yuno didn't hesitate to use her as bait. This crazy woman attacked her without any warning or notice – a dirty betrayal, yet a great opportunity.
"Yuki-kun, you deserve something better. Gasai-san is ruthless, but don't worry; I promise to save you. I won't let someone as pure and tender as you fall into the clutches of that crazy woman."
Thinking of the only one who cared for her, Tsubaki's mind accelerated. For her, Yuki was Deus's gift to Yuno – the greatest miracle in the world. Someone who stayed with her until the end without asking for anything in return, creating wonderful memories. Yuki embodied the kindness Deus bestowed upon the world on the brink of collapse, and Tsubaki wanted to protect that miracle.
Just as Yuno's katana was about to split her in half, she gently touched the edge of the blade and murmured...
*Tlin...
"Exchange..."
*Shuaa
---
"Die!"
"What...?!"
*Creakkkk.
*BOOMMMM.
Blood flowed, and a massive spatial fissure appeared, cutting the city in half, killing and destroying in the process. This attack was on par with Yuki's second strike of the [Raiton Senko] Jutsu using Est – the same attack that destroyed Tenth's timeline and killed the double-headed dragon Amphisbaena.
It was a terrifying blow that utilized most of Yuno's energy and life force. Fortunately, Yuki shared part of his life span with Yuno; otherwise, her life force would be seriously damaged.
But what mattered most to Yuno was the goal of her attack. She had successfully ended the game for the Ninth.
"You deserve it for trying to take Yuki away. This is the end, Ninth."

Author's Note: It's time for Yuno to showcase her charms!
TN: You mean kill anyone who gets close to yuki?
