This reality was hard for Kallen to accept.

However, compared to Kallen's disbelief, Gwen was much calmer, the muzzle of his gun pointed at Yae Sakura not trembling at all—

"To be able to make such a beautiful voice sound so awful... do you mean you have an exceptional talent for it?"

"Um?"

Hearing Gwen's teasing, "Yae Sakura" was not annoyed. She instantly suppressed her crazy smile and showed a simple doubt. In an instant, she transformed from the crazy beauty into a simple and quiet priestess.

However, the few traces of blood remaining on Yae Sakura's clothes that had not yet turned into blood mist gave her a somewhat eerie aura.

The next moment, "Yae Sakura" stuck out her pink little tongue and gently swept it across her lips, instantly transforming from innocent and naive to alluring and captivating.

Even Gwen, who had just emerged from Destiny Headquarters, couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart when he looked at the "Yae Sakura" under the Valkyrie Quicksilver...

"..."

After a moment of confusion, Gwen, sensing the anomaly, narrowed his eyes, a flash of red light around him, and his eyes regained their clarity—

"A boring trick..."

"But you still got infected, didn't you?"

A faint, mocking smile played on her lips; "Yae Sakura" revealed a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

"You were clearly threatening to kill me, yet I easily bewitched you... You really are..."

"Disgusting, humans!"

With a captivating smile on her face and merciless sarcasm escaping her lips, "Yae Sakura" stared directly at Gwen, as if trying to see a hint of embarrassment or anger in Gwen eyes.

"I am well aware of the gap between myself and those upright gentlemen, and in the future I may even be called scum and degenerate. Let them stand on their moral high ground and point fingers at me—"

Faced with the sarcasm of "Yae Sakura"... or rather, Hiyori, Gwen remained unmoved, but instead, mimicking Otto, he wore a polite smile.

"And... you don't even deserve it?"

"You..."

Instantly, the smile on Hiyori's face, which had been feigning charm, crumbled, revealing her anger.

However, looking at Gwen's polite smile, which it perceived as mockery, Hiyori felt that if he got angry, he would lose completely.

Little did he know that, in everyone's eyes, Hiyori, already enraged, sneered again, changing the subject and mockingly saying:

"Heh, alright, didn't you want to slay the demon?"

Come on, the demon is right here, come and kill me...

As he spoke, Hiyori walked step by step toward Gwen, casually loosening his belt, throwing off his outer garment, and even about to pull open his collar...

Bang!

With a flash of light, the bullet from the Heavenly Fire Judgment struck the wrist of Hiyori, causing her to pause in her act of undressing.

"Hahaha..."

After being shot by the Heavenly Fire Judgment, Hiyori didn't cry out in pain; instead, he let out a series of mocking laughs.

"You're scared..."

Why didn't you just shoot me dead?

Why not shoot here?

Hiyori didn't try to tear open his clothes again; instead, he pointed forcefully to his heart and loudly mocked Gwen.

"The power of that gun is something that this little bit of extra flesh can't possibly withstand—"

Why didn't you just shoot me?

"Because that would at most kill Sakura, but not you."

Gwen remained unmoved by Hiyori's words, uttering something that made everyone around him pale.

"Oh?

Did you figure it out?

With a mocking laugh, Hiyori lowered his wrist, which had fully recovered, opened his arms as if to embrace the world, and shouted,

"In this world, no matter how many times you try to kill me, you can never truly kill me!"

Because I am everywhere!

Even if you kill everything in this world and leave it barren, you still can't kill me!

Oh, by the way, I have some news for you—

There are more than just a few of you who came here from the outside world—

"That idiot behind you, and his cronies, are just like you."

"..."

Looking at the crazed grin on Hiyori's face, Gwen remained silent.

Clearly, the other party was putting pressure on him. Even if Gwen tried to kill every life in the world to kill Hiyori, he might not succeed, but he would certainly kill other innocent people.

"It seems that over the past five hundred years, you have become completely one with Yae Sakura."

Without explaining the meaning of Hiyori crowd, Gwen stared intently at Hiyori and slowly spoke.

"So what if it is?"

So what if it isn't?

Hiyori sneered,

"You can try killing her and see if you can kill me too, or unleash this demon within me?"

"Is it not just a physical bond, but a spiritual one as well?"

Gwen remained unmoved, calmly meeting Hiyori's gaze, slowly probing his opponent's true intentions.

"However, that's all. Your souls are still two separate entities, otherwise you wouldn't be able to control Sakura in this way."

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, the ferocious smile on Hiyori's face vanished instantly, and his icy gaze, seemingly capable of killing, fixed intently on Gwen.

Having gleaned his answer from the other's reaction, Gwen nodded slightly and, without waiting for the other to speak, continued:

"And your claim that it's impossible to kill you..."

This is just an illusion... or rather, a dream, the dream you used to torment Sakura.

As an entity one with the dream's owner, you certainly cannot be killed by the sword in the dream.

"Hmph, you're quite clever, aren't you, human?"

Before Gwen could continue, Hiyori interrupted him with a sneer, his face grim.

Even if you guessed everything correctly, what could you possibly do?

You can't do anything!

This is her dream, and this is my domain.

No matter how strong you are, it won't make any difference here.

Your body is still outside, right?

Not long—

In seven days, all your bodies will die.

"How much strength will you have left by then?"

Chapter 221 Taixu— Sword God!

The seal, which had stood for over five hundred years, was broken in an instant. Before the seal could be restored, it received Honkai Energy from the outside world, giving Hiyori, who could only torment Yae Sakura within the seal and hope that she would break down and free him, an opportunity.

However, Hiyori never expected that his actions of trying to recover his strength faster and attack Yae Sakura's defenses by creating bloodshed would actually attract the monster Gwen.

Not only is it completely immune to its Remembrance modification, but it has also directly killed its most powerful body, and now it is even starting to dig deeper and try to uncover its past.

Undoubtedly, this is something that Hiyori cannot accept under any circumstances.

Therefore, Hiyori tried to thwart Gwen, attempting to intimidate him and prevent him from continuing to investigate.

However, Gwen remained completely unmoved by Hiyori's fear of death, his expression unchanged, and continued with his deductions—

"That's right, the main power of this dream comes from you, and we were all brought here by you."

"It's almost impossible to kill you with the power of dreams..."

"What, are you scared?"

Thinking that Gwen was merely feigning composure and had been frightened, Hiyori was overjoyed and ready to take the opportunity to get rid of this plague, Gwen, when he heard Gwen's astonishing words—

"Therefore, I need to use power from outside of dreams—"

Gwen watched as Hiyori's smug smile froze, a slight smile appearing on his face as he softly called out,

"Kevin!"

In an instant, under the eerie and ethereal light of the Blood Moon, the sky churned with wind and clouds, as if some terrifying being had appeared and was about to tear the sky apart.

Although they haven't been communicating much lately, and he's always on guard against the other party, not as at ease as he is with Eden, which is completely under his control, Gwen hasn't forgotten about his old grandfather who isn't always with him.

In the Sea of Quantum, Kevin had been sitting motionless under the cherry blossom tree for a thousand years, suddenly opened his eyes and felt the call from afar.

However, this time it was not just a call for communication, but a call for his strength.

Moreover, this call was different from the past, as if there was an inexplicable barrier between them, to the point that the connection between them became somewhat blurred.

Kevin initially thought Gwen was up to something he didn't want him to know, and knowing Gwyn's wariness of him, Kevin didn't investigate further.

But now it seems... Gwen really is in trouble...

"..."

In a flash, Kevin did not refuse Gwen's call, letting his power flow with that inexplicable pull toward the unknown distance.

However, this was, after all, a power involving the soul, and Kevin, knowing he wasn't a master at that level, carefully controlled his power to avoid encountering unexpected risks.

Then Kevin saw the face that was so closely connected to the cherry blossom tree behind his true form—

"Cherry..."

Subconsciously recalling the pink-haired figure lying beneath him, Kevin's eyes shifted slightly, and the aura of power emanating from that figure grew increasingly terrifying.

As for Kevin, this uninvited guest, Hiyori, as the host of the place, was the first to notice.

It's you!

Even though the past 50,000 years have worn away all of Hiyori's few Remembrance, the deep-seated fear is still deeply rooted in Hiyori's instincts, causing him to subconsciously gather his power in an attempt to save his life from his opponent.

In an instant, a fierce storm raged, plunging the world into darkness. The Blood Moon in the sky transformed into a streak of crimson light, drawing down crimson meteors in a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

The wind, thunder, and blood-red light that gathered all flowed into Hiyori's body, enriching its power.

"Cherry!

Now—grab it!

Sensing that the power of heaven and earth was converging on Hiyori, Gwen, who seemed to be asking an old man to fight for him, straightened his face and shouted sternly.

In an instant, Hiyori's expression froze. The blood-red light floating on the surface of Yae Sakura's body was faintly disconnected from her body, and a look of painful struggle appeared on her pretty face.

Between Yae Sakura's brows, a glimmer of light flashed, helping her break free from Hiyori's control.

"Asshole!"

Realizing that Gwen was behind it all, but already terrified by Kevin Hiyori didn't even have the thought of teaching Gwen a lesson. He focused on gathering his power while suppressing Yae Sakura's struggles.

However, this also caused their control over the gathered power to drop to a dangerous level.

The next moment, a third focal point appeared in the already apocalyptic world—

However, unlike Kevin who came with overwhelming power, and unlike the twisted and crazed Hiyori, Gwen was surrounded by five-colored spiritual light, circulating endlessly, as if he were someone struggling in the apocalypse trying to mend the sky.

"The divine is the ultimate in transformation, encompassing all things in its subtlety, and cannot be questioned by form..."

Gwen murmured the mantra of divine power, his eyes serene, as if the apocalyptic scene before him could not move him; his gaze was fixed solely on the distorted world.
