"This is it, I just wanted to say my final goodbyes." As he approached Izumi, who was collecting herbs near the lake, Sasaki exclaimed.
Izumi looked around for a kid she recognized from previously, as he had saved her life and even driven everyone out of Osaka, which had fallen into a mess.
She could swear that he had saved her and her family's life numerous times, and she had no idea why he did what he did.
"Just who you are?"
"Why are you helping us?" Izumi summoned the nerve to ask since she had been intrigued all along. "I feel I know you from somewhere."
Sasaki gave a soft chuckle. He couldn't reveal his true identity because that would only make them sober up when he returned, and he had no way out.
'I am no longer the same person I once was. I want you to remember your brother as a lovely and caring individual instead of a mass murderer although you don't know I have killed those in Osaka..'
"I am someone who saved your life and this will be our final meeting, so don't go too deeply into me," Sasaki said, desperate not to reveal his name since It's just pointless.
Izumi was curious, but she was unable to elicit any information from him.
"I'm not sure who you are, but I appreciate everything you did. It is because of you that my family and I am still alive." Izumi bowed slightly to express her gratitude to him, which made him uncomfortable.
"You don't have to do this, since I wanted to do it all," Sasaki replied with a smile, patting her head slowly like he used to.
For a brief moment, Izumi thought she was speaking to her brother, but she disregarded that though as she raised her head.
"And you're unwilling explain why you wanted to do this?"
"It's not possible!"
Sasaki went slowly towards the lake, his gaze fixed on the sky as h is body began to disintegrate into light particles.
"Izumi, this was the last time." As Sasaki's body began to dissolve into thin air, he transformed into light particles that spread throughout the atmosphere.
As she saw him go away before her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes. She had no idea why she had been crying for someone she had known for a few days.
"How come I'm crying?" "Who are you?" she wondered as she watched Sasaki transform into light particles.
Sasaki tried very hard to not reveal his identity to her but he couldn't stop himself. After all, it was his last chance to let them know he was still alive.
'I'm being self-centered here.'
"I'm your... brother,Haise Sasaki," Sasaki continued, "I won't die," Sasaki said slowly and clearly, "but I won't be able to meet you again, so take care, Izu!"
"Wha... Brot... there!" As she realized who he was, Izumi spoke with a trembling voice, she had a lot to ask but It was already too late.
*Swoosh*
Sasaki was transported to a place that appeared to be ancient, with antique structures and sculptures strewn about.
"What is this place?"
When Sasaki looked about, he discovered that he wasn't the only one who had been relocated. Mizuki and others could be seen standing near him.
A large screen displayed all of the players' names, as well as their standings and total kills.

Every other person killed fewer than ten espers, and some had no kills at all that t hey were all from group c, with a few from other groups thrown in for good measure.
But everyone was on the lookout for Sasaki, the man who had caused the most deaths.
They didn't recognize him because he was now a child, and no one bothered to inquire because they didn't identify their friend in new child form.
"You've completed your first quest, which you should be proud of. You will all be compensated based on the number of kills." While caressing his long light-colored beard that seemed to touch the ground from mid-air, an ancient guy formed of light particles spoke.
Everyone glanced up to see the old guy speaking to them from the sky. As he emerged out of nowhere, everyone began to pay close attention to him, sensing that something significant was about to happen.
"Allow me to deliver the prizes to the top three competitors." The old guy spoke something, and three figures began to soar through the air before coming to a halt in front of him.
Only the top three would receive awards, while the rest would receive points based on their merit.
"Sato Renji, let's start from the third position."
Everyone in the room was staring at him, trying not to miss anything. They were mostly focused on the benefits they would receive.
"So, what's in it for you, old man?" Renji spoke with a smirk on his face as he gazed at the old guy.
"No need to be hasty, hohoho." The old guy stroked Renji's forehead with his finger, and as soon as he did, his body began to transform dramatically.
His body's muscles vanished one by one, with other muscles taking their place. Although it appeared to be unpleasant, Renji only yelled once because he was not in any pain as a result of the transition. It was the gods' wrath manifesting themselves.
"Kaido's level physique is your reward acoording to kill count." As he announced his award, the old guy stroked his beard and smiled.
Kaido had a one-of-a-kind physique. He had the maximum amount of endurance conceivable, since he just got a little headache after jumping from the sky and landing on the ground.
"Awards will be given to you based on your kills and points is dependent on what you accomplished."
"You can buy stuff and skills, you can do whatever you can imagine with his points," the old guy began describing the points system to them.
Despite the fact that he stated that Renji began to slowly land on the ground, he never described how to earn points properly.
"Now to Tanaka Haruto, our second-place finisher."
Haruto remained silent, staring at the old guy as if he was only waiting for a reward. He was the shy sort who had gotten the second place by chance.
'Haruto was bullied by a lot of people during his school years, and based on the kill count, I can tell they're no longer around.' While looking at Haruto, Sasaki couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'll say it: you'll probably be rewarded depending on one piece or the anime verse to which your talent relates."
"So you've been gifted a special ability: foresight."
This quirk originally belonged Nighteye. Nighteye's foresight allowed him to look into the future of another person from a third-person perspective. Nighteye must touch and make eye contact with his target to activate this quirk; however, it is only active for an hour, and once used, it cannot be used again for 24 hours. Although this ability has a temporal limit, it allows him to react to almost any strike before it occurs.
"Isn't this making me feel a little overpowered? With the ability to look into the future, one-shot kills are possible." Haruto felt invincible now that he had received foresight.
"Hoho, It was given to you by the gods, so there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just an old servant."
"I see," Haruto responded to the old guy with an uneasy smile.
Every single person in the room was envious of him because the ability was simply overwhelming, and he already possessed that with his quirk. When they considered their abilities, many people felt that they were being treated unfairly.
"With the power to see into the future, one shot, one kill. Isn't he the epitome of overpowering now?"
"He's overpowered and I don't want to get into a fight with him."
Students began muttering about a variety of topics. It seemed like a great disturbance, but it eventually came to a halt when Sasaki's turn approached.
"Is that him?"
"That's Sasaki, the man responsible for Osaka's millions of deaths."
Everyone was furious when they saw him. The most of them were kind, and even if they were evil, they wouldn't go as far as Sasaki did with his killing spree.
"Haise Sasaki, our champion who viciously murdered millions of people and hundreds of Espers."
He was being cursed by the people below. That incident resulted in the deaths of several of their family members, and he only served to infuriate his foes. Those who had no intention of meddling with Sasaki were instantly against him.
"Sasaki, In the first quest, you did something that had never been done before. Your kill totals are excessive." "You are just so vicious that God took extra time in preparing your rewards," the old guy said, stroked his beard.
In a loud and clear voice, the old guy chuckled as he told Sasaki his reward.
"Removal of limiter,s as your first reward?"
"Is it possible to remove the limiters?" When Sasaki learned about the reward, he was perplexed.
"The source you choose will have no restrictions, It will be your main power source from cursed energy and chakra, but you won't be able to get rid of it in the future, so choose wisely."
"Can I get rid of my abilities?" Sasaki inquired, perplexed, if he required further information about these.
"You can sell or shop in the trading zone, Many people try to concentrate on two sorts of power sources because the third is usually ineffective and burdensome." The old man spoke slowly and calmly to Sasaki.
"Burden?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you about it." Sasaki was disappointed, but he had an important priority ahead of him, as the old man had informed him.
Sasaki was now perplexed as to which option he should take. He didn't waste any time and came to a conclusion.
"I'm going with cursed energy."
'Curse energy has the potential to improve my body, and I can't afford to miss out on domain expansion. Because of its guaranteed hit capability, it's the only skill that has the capacity to kill someone like Haruto and other overpowered individuals.'
"As a result of your high Espers kill count, you receive a special award, and it was fairly unexpected." As he was about to inform him his award, Oldman paused.
"Gramps, what is the reward?" "Spit it out already!" said Sasaki, as if he didn't enjoy suspense.
When the old guy touched Sasaki's body, his entire body began to reconstruct. He was going through a lot more changes than Reji.
"It's all part of the process. You will evolve as a result of this, and you will gain a variety of abilities that even I don't know." As Sasaki's body began to break down, new cells began to relax him one by one, the old man added.
"It's finished. You can verify your evolution outcomes and your final reward later."
"There's one more." Sasaki had not anticipated receiving a higher incentive. He was aware that he had too many kills, but this was beyond his expectations.
"Yes, and gene manipulation is the final one!"
"What does that ability allow me to do?"
"You can implant Genetic information from one individual into the body of another. It's the power to produce mass-destructive armies if you have the correct genes."
"Can't I plant mine for the benefit of others?" When Sasaki's genes had been upgraded to the next level.
"No, you won't be able to. This ability can only be used on other people, thus you can't use it on yourself or another player."
Sasaki was content with the results and didn't mind if others looked at him in awe or any other way. He could now construct a proper plan to get rid of them in the future because he had a technique to raise troops and his lack of offensive powers had been addressed.
