After saying that to the fading black-haired Rin, Yae Sakura took Higanbana and set off to find the core location Higanbana had mentioned.
When the black-haired Rin's dispersal ability returned to the Six-Armed Giant's body, the space began to tremble. Xu Yanwu, who had been fighting the Six-Armed Giant, was also stunned by the anomaly.
But what the giant displayed next was an even greater rage.
Yet one could sense...
A trace of despair.
And a resolve like one willing to break the cauldrons and sink the boats.
As though the entire world had abandoned him.
"Kill me! Otherwise... let me kill you!"
The Six-Armed Giant said to Xu Yanwu, "Let me... take everything from you!"
"Hahahaha..."
The Six-Armed Giant's laughter carried a touch of desolation.
"Is this fate?... Is everything arranged by fate? Even gods... even those who control fate, are pitiful fools toyed with by fate?"
"Even if one tries their best to avoid it, they will ultimately walk a similar path... Hahaha..."
"Or is it that people like us truly are the same? That in the end, we will still make the same choice?"
The Six-Armed Giant spoke as though talking to himself, and Xu Yanwu found it difficult to understand.
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting now? Continue our fight."
Xu Yanwu said in a heavy voice.
"Everyone was willing to stay by your side. Even Little Sakura ultimately chose... you."
The Six-Armed Giant raised his blade. "Is it because you are real? While I am merely a phantom within this false world?"
"I am the one who can save them, save this world... Why... did they ultimately choose you?!"
The Six-Armed Giant's words reached Xu Yanwu's ears.
Though he did not know why the Six-Armed Giant would say such things, Xu Yanwu still replied.
