Chapter 168 The Final Chapter: Snow Falls on the Mountain
On the towering snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji in Japan, a dazzling golden light streaked down from the vast space like a meteor, as if it were a mysterious force from the depths of the universe.
At the same time, a powerful, scorching spiritual energy swept in like a surging wave, causing the volcano below to begin to churn and thrash violently.
Ming emerged from the group with less than five weapons remaining, while in the distance, the incessant spatial quake alarms blared from the town.
'Beep beep beep beep beep—!'
"The world is so noisy, so annoying... Next, I will pluck the threads of fate, then I will climb the ladder of destiny, and the end will come again."
Ming murmured to himself, as if he were talking to someone who had been watching him the whole time.
Just as Ming was whispering, black mud kept flowing out of the golden body, and an eerie aura spread out.
Wherever this black mud went, the ice and snow melted instantly, and the rocks turned to dust. People at the foot of the snow-capped mountains had already taken refuge in safety, but their houses were still swallowed up by the black mud.
This black quagmire will continue to spread, the connection between his body and the "angels" in various places remains, the elves fight against Him like warriors, and Ming's lips curl slightly.
The Ninth and Second Demon Kings slowly emerged. They opened their mouths, and even fate could only relay their messages. Then they slowly spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, from this moment forward I declare to the world: Listen, listen to your fears, hate! I am now the madman who challenges humanity, the evil of mankind, against all reason!"
Human evil manifests! Destiny... in pursuit.
Beast!, the beast that seeks love!
At 6:10, the sky over London, England, was shrouded in a scarlet light, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Numerous meteorites rained down from the purple portal in the sky, creating a series of booming sounds.
"Mom... help me!"
"Child! Child, where are you!"
"Get out of my way, brat! You're blocking my way, do you know what the consequences will be!"
People were terrified and fled in all directions. Some cried out in despair, some wept bitterly, and some even trampled on other people of their kind in order to escape.
Amidst the chaos, the white monster wielding a key-shaped blade appeared remarkably indifferent. It stood there silently, like a statue, coldly observing the humans on the ground.
Michael... He should have been an angel protecting humanity and saving the world from disaster, but now he is just a monster with the name but doing evil deeds.
"Hahaha! That's awesome! As expected of you, Beast! You're even better than I imagined!"
In the chairman's office at the very top of the DEM building, a man named Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott gazed at the scenes of despair outside the window, a gleeful smile uncontrollably spreading across his face.
"Ike, are you really not going to run away? With such a large-scale meteor attack, even I can't guarantee your complete safety..."
Faced with Allen's invitation to leave from behind, Westcott stopped laughing, his face grim, and did not turn around. Instead, he spread his arms wide and calmly asked Allen behind him a question.
"No, Allen. Isn't this exactly what we want? Do you really think that as an Avenger, you have no obligation to watch humanity go extinct?"
The ancient Chinese saying, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening," perfectly describes Wessaud's state at this time.
The real him didn't care about revenge; this man just wanted to see the despair on the world's faces, and he smiled as he experienced the despair that came with risking his life.
On a street in London, a little girl was crying her heart out, her face streaked with tears.
She anxiously searched for her mother in the crowd, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.
"Mommy! Mommy, where are you?! Mommy, please answer me..."
Just then, a huge meteorite appeared in the sky, crashing down on the ground with an aura of despair. At that moment, the little girl's cries grew louder, as if she were telling the world about her sorrow.
However, just as the meteorite was about to hit the ground, a blazing flame suddenly appeared, cleaving the meteorite in two.
The little girl looked up in surprise, her eyes still glistening with faint tears that she hadn't had time to wipe away.
A girl with twin ponytails and wearing a flame-red kimono was seen floating in the air; it was Kotori Itsuka.
"Ah... I finally made it... Damn it, saving them one by one like this isn't going to work... Could it be, no! If I just take care of that clone at the very top, everything will be fine!"
Her eyes were angry and resolute, and she radiated a fiery aura, like a burning sun.
Kotori quickly scanned her surroundings, and a surge of anger rose within her at the chaotic and desperate scene. She swung her giant axe, and flames shot up, instantly transforming into a streak of fire as she charged toward the "angel" in the sky.
"Ike, that flame rising from below looks like the [Fire Demon], right? Should I help?"
"We don't need Allen at all. Only the experience of defeat after resistance can make the enemy feel despair. We just need to witness the feast that the Beast offers us."
Westcott delivered his joyful speech, his excitement no longer concealed; his feelings for the Beast had long surpassed his love for Mio Takamiya.
Kotori rushed toward "Angel" Michael, but as soon as she got close, she was bounced back by a powerful force.
Michael glanced at her indifferently, then swung the key-shaped blade in his hand, sending an energy wave through the opened space toward Kotori.
Kotori hurriedly swung her giant axe to defend herself, and the flames and energy waves collided violently, producing a deafening sound.
The other elves were also struggling against these artificial "angels".
Let's turn our attention back to Mount Fuji.
"Then the show should start soon, but the main character of this amazing spectacle hasn't arrived yet, right, Miss Tohka?"
"You're babbling on and on, saying things I don't understand. It's so annoying!"
Just as Tohka was getting impatient, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, from which countless purple lightning bolts shot out.
The giant sword exuded a terrifying aura; even Mount Fuji trembled at the mere swing of it.
"Has it finally arrived?"
Ming's lips curled up, and the purple sword light was caught between his two fingers with lightning speed.
"That's interesting, but I'm not waiting for you... but for the older sister inside you."
The golden spear behind was already poised to strike. Seeing this, Tohka used all her strength to pull the tightly clamped [Aosha Gong] away, barely managing to retreat and dodge at the last moment.
However, just behind them, Longinus's attack struck the foot of the mountain like lightning, and in an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth below. This golden light, as intense as the sun, illuminated the entire valley.
As the golden light burst forth, a huge crater instantly appeared in the originally solid mountain.
"No, this won't work. You can't force her to come out like this. Or you can just call Shido over. I really find dealing with you boring."
Tohka's eyes widened in anger, her hands gripping the [Slaughtering Lord] tightly, her spiritual power surging wildly.
"Don't underestimate me! I can beat you even without Shido!"
She shouted and charged toward Ming again, brandishing her greatsword.
Ming chuckled lightly, calmly responding to Tohka's attacks. The two clashed fiercely, causing even the heavens and earth to tremble, and a huge rift was even torn open in the sky.
Yoshino's battle against the frost dragon, Yuzuru's battle against the countless paper-shaped black monsters, and Kaguya's being surrounded and controlled by humans like a zombie apocalypse—all felt the same fatigue.
...While Ming and Tohka were clashing, Fraxinus was still in Tengu City.
Amidst the piercing alarm, the previously tightly closed solitary confinement cell door was suddenly engulfed in flames and instantly reduced to ashes.
Without hesitation, Shido rushed out of the door and ran like the wind along the ship's corridor.
"No...it can't be like that!"
His heart was pounding, as if it would jump out of his throat. His mind was racing, and after some deep thought, a strong impulse surged within him.
—I will personally go and ask Beast to deny the truth that Yoshino brought up, and...I will never let anyone take risks!
The lights in the corridor flickered, as if trembling with the tense situation. Shido's figure moved through the light and shadow, his eyes firm and resolute.
Every step was taken with determination, and every breath was filled with hesitation.
When he reached the end of the corridor, he saw the analyst who had been waiting for him for a long time and whom Kotori had asked to watch over him.
"So you really will choose this, Shi?"
"Miss Lingyin! What are you doing here..."
The atmosphere between the two became subtle. Reine looked at Shido with a complicated expression in her eyes.
