Chapter 335: It Will Be 'Me' Who Leads Him to Victory

Cant use powers?

What does this mean? Is she at the mercy of his enemy?

No, this was unacceptable!

Feeling the danger closing in, Minene turned her head, where her clones were disappearing one by one. The same was happening with Yuki's clones. Each of them held one of Minene's clones, sealing them. After all, Minene's ability was too problematic.

A single clone was enough for her to keep coming back from death. It was such a monstrous ability that Yuki had no other choice but to use this jutsu.

"...!"

Powerless and unable to move, Minene recalled her past as a helpless girl when her parents died. She had to survive on the streets, fearing a bomb might fall and kill her, dodging bullets and violence.

But, in the end, she never had the life she wanted. To survive, she became a terrorist. Only violence solves violence.

That's why when she gained powers, she was happy. With her supernatural abilities, she no longer feared bullets. Now, she had the chance to create an ideal world.

A world of peace.

But, for that, sacrifices are necessary, and Minene had sacrificed too much for the Throne of God.

The frustration that her effort and power might be in vain in this final battle overwhelmed her.

But she didn't give up.

*BROMMMMM

(Curse it!)

However, it wasn't all that easy. The crown protecting the world began to rotate, and the Demon King was about to awaken.

Using the Shinigami was a great taboo. Using it meant sealing the Demon King as well. But as someone superior, the Demon King couldn't allow it. So, at this moment, he was fighting for control.

Clenching his teeth, Yuki looked into his spiritual world. It was like a massive black hole absorbing everything around it.

At this moment, Yuki was at the edge of the cliff, holding onto the only remaining spiritual pillar, while Est clung desperately to one of his legs.

[Master...]

"Resist, Est!"

*Shuaaa...

Suddenly, the pressure on his body lessened, and Yuki couldn't help but turn his head.

"Rasiel!"

A book had fallen into the infinite darkness.

Feeling his master's pressure, Rasiel didn't hesitate to sacrifice itself and alleviate the burden.

"Zafkiel!"

However, it wasn't the only one. A huge clock also fell, following in Rasiel's footsteps.

Zafkiel had also sacrificed itself for its master.

*Pufff

With Zafkiel being consumed, the time clones disappeared, along with half of his spiritual power. Minene clenched her teeth, slowly regaining strength. She tightly held onto Yuki, and her soul gradually returned to her body.

[Master...]

Seeing this, Est lowered her gaze. No one knew what was going through her mind, but Yuki, who was watching, couldn't shake off a bad premonition.

[Sorry, Master...]

"Est?! No, no! Don't do it! I forbid you! It's an order! Don't let go!"

[The winner is the king, right?]

With those words, a smile formed on her always expressionless face, leaving Yuki paralyzed when he saw it.

After all, Est was returning the same words he had said before.

At the same time, Est's hands, holding onto Yuki's legs, lost their strength, and she fell into the infinite darkness.

"Est!!"

Unable to do anything, Yuki could only shout her name as he watched Est fall into the void.

It has always been Yuki putting himself in danger, sacrificing himself, seeking victory. Although Est hadn't been with him for long, she could confirm that.

That's why Est wanted to enclose him and prevent him from hurting himself further. However, Yuki's nature couldn't allow it.

Because for Yuki, victory is everything.

But at this rate, Yuki will eventually die and disappear.

Yuki is willing to sacrifice himself, but... Who will sacrifice for Yuki?

[So let Est be the one to lead him to victory. Since the master is willing to sacrifice for the people he loves, let Est be the one to sacrifice for the master.]

Smiling until the end, Est was consumed by the darkness.

And with this, the hand of the Shinigami strengthened, pulling Minene's soul out again, and the crown protecting the world began to tremble, along with the world.

"Yuki-kun..."

Watching from a distance, tears ran down Tsubaki's eyes. Even in such a situation, Yuki had returned to save them.

There was no doubt that Yuki was the purest being that could exist.

And it pained Tsubaki's chest to see him fight so fiercely. After all, Yuki would cease to exist.

She wanted to help and fight by his side, but unfortunately, she had reached her limit. If she goes now, she will only be a hindrance and might be killed, worsening the situation.

The war he was fighting is not something she can intervene in.

"I understand how you feel... Brat."

With half of his arm and chest crystallized, Marco smiled bitterly as he brought a cigarette to his mouth.

Like Tsubaki, Marco was out of commission. The Apocalypse virus was killing him, and the little vitality he had prevented him from reversing time to heal. Not to mention that his fighting spirit had disappeared.

However, looking into the distance, he felt a deep respect for Yuki. That boy, even in this hell, managed to rise and try to save his woman, pushing Minene into a corner.

Only for this, Marco envied Yuki a lot. Unlike him, who always arrived too late, unable to protect the woman he loves, Yuki fights tooth and nail for victory.

"That kid is incredible..."

"Yuki-kun..."

With both hands on her chest, Tsubaki prayed. She prayed for victory even if God is dead. She wanted a miracle, a miracle that would soon be granted...

"Kill me, brat..."

After all, seeing the sadness on Tsubaki's face, Marco couldn't help but think of his girlfriend. That pitiful face when her parents abandoned her, when she was violated...

Marco remembers every expression of Ai, and seeing this expression on Tsubaki's face, Marco sighed. Like Ai, Tsubaki's parents also abandoned her or rather died. She was also violated, and now the only man supporting her was about to disappear...

It was sad, but Marco didn't want to see her suffer, especially at her young age. This was his pride as a man...

"You..."

Unable to believe what she heard, Tsubaki turned her head and opened her eyes in shock. After all, Marco was offering his life and power to her...

"Kill me now... I'm finished, but your fight is not over, right?"

Blowing a small cloud of smoke from his mouth, Marco smiled and continued.

"Love him, don't you? If so, don't hesitate and kill me. I also love my wife too much, but I'm useless. I couldn't protect her. I always arrive late. This pain is my punishment."

Looking at his arms and chest crystallizing, Marco mocked himself.

"The only thing I ask is that you win. I don't want my death to be in vain. I just hope Ai can forgive me."

"Seventh..."

Staring at him, Tsubaki gripped her katana. However, for some strange reason, she couldn't draw it.

She had never killed anyone before, so taking a human life still weighed on her conscience. Despite her deep hatred for men, her love for Yuki made her forget all the hatred, overcoming her past. She wouldn't kill out of hatred.

"Come on, quick!"

"I'm sorry!"

Gripping her katana tightly, she closed her eyes and lunged forward.

"Guh?!"

*Shiiii

Feeling his chest pierced, Marco spat out blood at the same time. The sound of his diary changed...

It didn't take a genius to figure out that his [Dead End] had appeared again.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Unable to open her eyes, tears fell from Tsubaki's eyes, and her body trembled.

"Don't worry... It's my decision... Ai? ..."

Feeling a sense of peace within him, Marco's eyes trembled. Ai was watching him from a distance, smiling.

"Ai... My love... Can you forgive me?"

[Never blamed you, Marco...]

Shaking his head, Ai replied.

"Ai...."

Closing his eyes, a smile formed on Marco's face. Ai never thought his death was her fault. On the contrary, she was waiting for him to continue a life after death together. At the same time, a small black hole in the shape of a propeller formed in his body, swallowing him completely.

*Creakk

[April 13, 5:10 AM]

[Sixth stabbed me. I decided to die for the greater good, but I am happy... Ai has forgiven me. She came for me. I regret nothing.]

[DEAD END]

Likewise, both diaries they exchanged fell to the ground, side by side, like the couple they used to be.
