Despair
The commotion caused by Tsuna and Satan outside the city was quite significant, causing all the West Bureau captains who were on the move to stop in their tracks.
Like Hirako, they were initially delighted. This seemingly evenly matched situation meant that Sawada Tsunayoshi's arrival would surely save the rest of London from disaster.
Then everyone's face turned bitter. How were they supposed to explain this? The other party's parents died in this incident, and it was their responsibility to fail to protect the Sawada couple.
There was no way to explain that this was a consensus reached by the West Bureau; all they could do was wait for Tsuna's decision.
Returning our focus to the outskirts of London, after a fierce battle with Satan for quite some time, Tsuna had figured out Satan's strength. Each time, he was able to precisely use the Sky's harmonization to neutralize Satan's special attacks.
This is the domineering power unique to the Sky, capable of forcibly eliminating the enemy's special advantages in their attacks, dragging the enemy down to a level of pure spiritual pressure and physical strength, and then using the Sky's air conditioning and its inherent petrification ability to restrict the opponent.
But right now, Tsuna's mind wasn't on Satan at all. He was just roughly dispelling Satan's Fairy Tale Dragon magic and then clashing punch after punch with Satan's Dragon Claws.
It would take a long time to completely destroy Satan with Beyond Bankai. If he were to use his true Bankai, Tsuna would experience a sense of emptiness after the Bankai ends. In this area where Yhwach is nowhere to be found, Tsuna cannot use his true Bankai at will.
Fortunately, Tsuna wasn't the only one on this battlefield capable of stopping Satan, and finally Tsuna saw that figure.
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Before Ichigo even arrived, a black crescent moon appeared and beckoned to Satan. Upon seeing Ichigo, Tsuna, along with White Dragon and Natsu, quickly pushed Satan towards Ichigo.
"You'd better beg them to be alright, or I'll skin you alive!" Tsuna said viciously, the murderous intent emanating from him making even Satan tremble.
The moment he saw Ichigo, Tsuna immediately pulled away, shouting, "Use Locking Heaven's Sun! Hold on, I'll be right back!"
Ichigo's Beyond Bankai is not yet fully mastered, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to hold his own against Satan. Tsuna will return before Ichigo's Locking Heaven's Sun ends.
Regardless of the outcome, Tsuna wanted to go to London and take a look, even if there was no result, he wanted at least some results.
"Understood!" Ichigo responded firmly and powerfully, his black and red spiritual pressure covering his body, and two blade-like wings sprouting from his back, unlocking the Heavenly Sun beyond the swastika.
Tsuna glanced in Ichigo's direction, and after confirming that Ichigo had no major problems dealing with Satan, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed into London.
Tsuna maximized his spiritual pressure perception and vaguely sensed those familiar Reishi. He immediately descended to that location, where Orihime was still slumped on the ground, with two skeletons in front of her.
There was no need for Orihime to explain; Tsuna had already recognized the true identities of the two skeletons from their familiar clothes.
"Tsuna..."
When she saw Tsuna appear before her, Orihime's voice trembled slightly. Ever since she met Tsuna in middle school, she had received a lot of care from the Sawada Sawada. Faced with their departure, she could do nothing, her grief stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single word.
"No... there's still a chance..."
Feeling the last few Reishi remaining on the skull—proof that the Sawada couple had once lived—an opportunity... seize this opportunity...
The orange flames on his body turned bright yellow, and with the Beyond Bankai of the Sun Attribute activated, the light emanating from Tsuna was even more dazzling than that in the sky.
The Sun Attribute and its Super Activation properties allow injured people to recover quickly from their injuries.
However, this conclusion only applies to living organisms, as the power of the Sun Attribute accelerates cell growth and division, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect.
The idea of bringing the dead back to life or restoring flesh to bones is simply impossible.
Tsuna wasn't unaware of this, but in this situation, he had lost his composure. All he wanted to do was to protect the few remaining Reishi, and even hoped that they could split and recombine under the influence of their Activation.
But all of this was ultimately a meaningless act. Even though the sun, which Tsuna had transformed into, baked the ground until it was completely dry, it still had no effect on the skeleton.
Once someone is dead, they are dead. Just like when the six Fairy Tale Dragon destroyed London, Tsuna couldn't bring them back to life once they died instantly.
As the sunlight gradually faded and all his power dissipated, Tsuna knelt helplessly on the ground.
Looking at the two skeletons before him, scenes from his childhood flashed before his eyes. Despite being a transmigrator, he had long since integrated into this world after living in this family and in this world for more than a decade.
Now, watching his biological parents die before his eyes, and being unable to do anything about it, Tsuna suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He didn't know what the meaning of his life and all his years of hard work had been.
What value does this unparalleled power have if it can't even protect the person he loves most?
A crack appeared in Tsuna's heart, unheard by anyone.
Meanwhile, in his inner world, at Namimori Middle School, the Decimo, White Dragon, and Kuri Enma walked together onto the playground, looking at the cracks in the sky, their faces extremely solemn.
[Hey, Vongola, Little Tsuna, what will happen to him?] The cracks in the sky are increasing, and this world is showing signs of collapse.
[I don't know. If that was me outside, I might go crazy.] The Decimo answered honestly. The faces of the two dead skeletons outside looked exactly like his parents. The Decimo was the one who understood Tsuna's feelings the most.
[Sawada- kun, get ready, Little Tsuna might use your power directly later.] Kuri Enma warned, putting himself in Tsuna's shoes. What he wanted most right now was to take revenge on Satan.
The only power capable of completely suppressing Satan is the true Bankai of the Bleach's Zanpakuto, which requires the Decimo to provide Tsuna with his full energy.
[I see...]
As soon as the Decimo uttered those words, the cracks in the sky multiplied, Namimori Middle School had become a shattered mirror, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
[Seriously, Little Tsuna? Even if you're going to give up on yourself, at least deal with that disgusting thing first!] Byakuran silently cheered Tsuna on.
The collapse of his inner world means that Sawada Tsunayoshi, as the master, has given up on himself. The three Decimo will be affected and disappear simultaneously. After that, Tsuna will lose all his abilities.
That's why Byakuran encouraged Tsuna to take down Satan first; if Tsuna gave up on himself, it meant he wouldn't even have a chance for revenge.
Completely absorbed in his memories, Tsuna was oblivious to the conversation between the three people in his inner world. Suddenly, everything went black, and when his vision returned, he found himself in an ocean.
The black seawater was knee-deep and icy cold, just like the dead corpses. Tsuna shuddered and turned around abruptly, seeing two familiar figures.
Sawada Iemitsu and Sawada Nana, their bodies turned gray, sat emotionlessly on a small, unattended boat, slowly drifting away from him.
Is that still a chance for their parents to live? Tsuna had a strange feeling that if he could bring those two back, they would definitely be able to revive!
He rushed toward the small boat like a madman, but no matter how far he ran or how fast he chased, he could never catch up with it. It wasn't until the black seawater washed over his chest and he choked on it that Tsuna finally came to his senses.
It's meaningless. Once someone is dead, they're dead. Being here to see them off on their final journey is already his good fortune.
But his parents were still dead. The small boat drifted further and further away, and the loneliness enveloped by endless darkness pierced Tsuna's chest like an ice blade—it was the despair of a dead heart.
"No!!!"
Tsuna roared in the black ocean, but no matter how much he roared, Iemitsu and Nana would not turn around to look at him. He was all alone in this world, accompanied only by the endless despair after watching his parents die!
The roar deep within Tsuna's heart was synchronized with his body, which also refused to believe the reality before it. The spiritual pressure deep within his body, in an instinctive reaction, leaked out continuously like steam after water boils.
Each wave was stronger than the last, and each one was more powerful than the last. In front of Tsuna, Orihime could only barely protect the remains of the Sawada couple, while the other skeletons and buildings around them were pushed far away by the spiritual pressure released by Tsuna, like sweeping away garbage.
"Sawada-sensei..."
Tsuna's resentment echoed throughout London, and Harry Sack felt terrible. Not long ago, they were comrades-in-arms, laughing and talking, but now they all had to face the fact that their loved ones had died.
After seeing Tsuna fly by, Wolfgang led the other captains back towards Orihime. During the journey, they were bathed in the sunlight from Tsuna, which healed their injuries. Except for the lack of magic, they were no different from ordinary people.
Just when Wolfgang thought they could run forward, Tsuna's unwillingness, along with his spiritual pressure, erupted. The West Bureau captains, who had no ability to resist, were lucky to even maintain their footing in the face of this strong spiritual pressure.
Only Wolfgang was still desperately moving forward, clutching something tightly in his palm. He had to see Sawada Tsunayoshi; Sawada Tsunayoshi was his only hope.
After venting for a while, Tsuna fell into calm again. He lowered his head and looked lifeless, like a living dead man. The blackness in the black ocean began to invade his body, but he seemed completely unaware of it.
Tsuna's mind was still replaying everything that had happened with his parents. Would these things have been different if they hadn't been allowed to come to London?
Or perhaps he should have been more forceful and made his parents leave Karakura Town back then. If they hadn't been involved in the fate of the Bleach, they could have been a happy family?
Or perhaps, if he had run a little faster today and examined the dragon egg more carefully, his parents would still be safe?
Tsuna laughed. The problem lay entirely with him. If he could just kill Satan, none of this would have happened.
Yes! Kill Satan!
Satan must die!
Revenge!
Tsuna's eyes instantly sharpened, as if he had found his target. Only one thought remained in his mind: revenge, kill Satan!
Apart from this one thought, Tsuna had no other thoughts. Pure death energy filled his entire body, and the Dying Will Flame ignited on his forehead once again!
