I Like You

Shiyu didn't have a good solution for the time being, since Otsutsuki Hoshiyo was now merged with the entire space.

"This guy can use everything in this space to fight me, but I have no way to deal with him. It's practically unsolvable. How should I deal with this?" Shiyu was also at a loss.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Shiyu dodged two attacks again, but unexpectedly, another attack came from behind and pierced through his body.

"Pfft!" Shiyu frowned. It wasn't a big deal that her body was pierced, but Shiyu time.

"To defeat Otsutsuki Hoshiyo, we must be in this space. I can destroy this space! But this space is already connected to Earth. If we destroy this space, we may very well destroy Earth as well."

"What should I do?" Shiyu was also at a loss, caught in a dilemma.

Otsutsuki Hoshiyo seemed to have anticipated this weakness in Shiyu, and therefore his attacks became increasingly ruthless. Shiyu was already struggling to withstand the previous attacks, let alone the ever-growing power of Hoshiyo's attacks.

"No! This can't go on!" Shiyu glanced at the seam between space and Earth, then unleashed a palm strike.

Immediately afterwards, the black Truth- Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into a wall, perfectly sealing off the entire connection point.

"Never mind! I'll just give it my all! If I die, the Earth will disappear anyway, so I might as well gamble everything!" Shiyu's eyes revealed determination.

Otsutsuki Hoshiyo, naturally guessing what Shiyu was about to do, immediately stopped him.

"You've figured it out!? The consequence of doing this is that the Earth could potentially disappear!?"

"Just to get rid of me? There's no need to be so ruthless, is there?"

"If you willingly let me devour you, wouldn't all of this be over?"

Hoshiyo tried to persuade Shiyu, but it was all in Shiyu. Otsutsuki Hoshiyo had killed everyone on Earth, including Shiyu's closest people in the world. Shiyu was determined to take Hoshiyo down with him.

"Shut your mouth! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me! Don't worry! I'll do everything I can to protect Earth! You've only merged with this space! Once this space is completely destroyed, you'll die too!"

"But! If you destroy this space, it will collapse, and you will die too! You've already sealed off the power of space, so you can't escape either! Are you saying you'd rather die than stop me?!" Hoshiyo immediately retorted.

"Yes! Even if it costs me dearly, I will stop you!" Shiyu said firmly.

"Why!? I'm just devouring you! This way you're just living in a different form!" Otsutsuki Hoshiyo remained obstinate, clinging to his selfish and evil theory.

"Because! All things have spirits! All things are equal! You are arrogant and have killed everything on Earth! You are guilty of heinous crimes! You will never have a good end!" At this Shiyu had already begun to extract his own chakra. Eighty percent of the chakra of the three Ten-Tails was already an extremely terrifying amount.

If all this chakra were detonated directly, this space would be completely destroyed.

Hoshiyo seemed to see through Shiyu's intentions and immediately pleaded, "No! If you do this, we'll all die!"

"What joy is there in living, what sorrow in dying? As long as I can kill you, I'm willing to do anything!" Shiyu's eyes became resolute.

At this moment, Hoshiyo was extremely panicked, but just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Shiyu.

"You are... Xiao Xing?" Shiyu was taken aback; the person in front of her was definitely Xiao Xing.

"Brother, how did I get here? What happened?" Xiao Xing asked, still confused.

"By the way! Xiao Xing feel very guilty that I can't help you while you're fighting Otsutsuki Hoshiyo."

At that moment, Hoshiyo's voice came again.

"Shiyu! If you still care about your sister, stop what you're doing! After destroying this entire space, Earth will inevitably be destroyed! If you kill me, you will kill your sister and destroy Earth!"

"Isn't what you want to protect your sister?! If you give up on this, I might consider giving your sister back to you!"

"I'm serious! Otsutsuki Shigure! I don't want your sister's body! As long as you don't destroy this space! What do you think of this deal?!"

At this Shiyu was once again caught in a dilemma.

What should I do? One is my Xiao Xing, and the other is the world.

The choice before us would be difficult for anyone to make. As the Sage of Six Paths once said, only Shiyu himself could make the choice between love and power.

Humans are selfish, and emotions are selfish too. For Xiao Xing's survival, Shiyu was naturally willing to give up everything.

"If I can't save one person, how can I save the world?" Shiyu muttered to himself, gradually finding the answer in his heart. To save his sister, Shiyu planned to give up everything.

"Great!! I keep my word! I won't kill Xiao Xing!" Otsutsuki Hoshiyo was extremely excited, having escaped a terrible fate.

However, when Xiao Xing looked at Shiyu, tears immediately streamed down her face, but then she smiled.

"Thank you, brother. I'm so happy. I'm truly touched that you're willing to give up the whole world for me."

"What have I done to deserve your love and care? But if there is a next life, I still hope to be your sister. Please forgive me. I have already made my decision and choice."

Xiao Xing still possessed the power of Otsutsuki Hoshiyo. At this moment, she quickly gathered chakra in her hand and finally struck herself in the abdomen.

Xiao Xing coughed up blood, laughing and crying at the same time, her body leaning slightly backward.

"No!!!" Shiyu cried out in pain, rushing forward to hug Xiao Xing tightly.

Of course, Otsutsuki Hoshiyo was also stunned. In fact, if Shiyu had chosen to give up, Hoshiyo would have devoured Xiao Xing again. But now that Xiao Xing had committed suicide, Hoshiyo and Shiyu would be locked in a life-or-death struggle from now on.

I'm leaving, brother.

Forgive me for being so selfish, forgive me for treating you so cruelly. Go save the world. I... need to sleep for a while.

"Brother Shiyu, I want to tell you, I like you so much."

Xiao Xing died before she could even utter the word "you." Xiao Xing essentially detonated her own chakra, and no amount of Yang Release Chakra could revive her.

Before he could even process what kind of feelings Xiao Xing had for him, Shiyu had already started looking around and drawing out his own chakra.

"Otsutsuki Shigure! This isn't my fault! Your sister chose to die!"

However, Shiyu, and only said one sentence in a faint voice.

"I want you dead! To be buried with my sister!!!"
