Art Is an Explosion (Continued)

However, his mention of the name convinced Cornelia to some extent, and she immediately collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

The fatigue she had forcibly suppressed earlier surged through her consciousness like a torrent.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, the man she had once loved deeply and then hated intensely approached her again, lifted her up, and whispered in her ear:

"I've come here to reunite you sisters."

Reunion?

How exactly can they reunite...?

Cornelia wanted to ask that, but the heaviness and weariness in her body prevented her from opening her mouth or even making a sound.

Consciousness was gradually swallowed by darkness.

She fell into Yotsuba Mahiro's arms and drifted off to sleep.

"Okay, go to sleep, everything will be alright when you wake up."

Mahiro murmured softly, as if lulling a child to sleep, and then casually tossed a "Regrowth" spell towards Cornelia.

In an instant, she was completely restored, lying in his arms like Sleeping Beauty.

Looking at the peaceful sleeping face so close to his chest, Mahiro couldn't help but sigh softly again.

Does he feel any remorse for what he did to the sisters Cornelia and Euphemia?

No, of course not.

But do we owe each other anything?

There is a little bit of that, but we'll make up for it gradually in the future.

However, Lelouch's performance is becoming increasingly anticipated. Will he not repeat his past mistakes and get captured by that bastard Lelouch Suzaku Kururugi this time?

This time, we can finally kill that guy, right?

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to the showdown between Lelouch and Suzaku Kururugi.

Furthermore, without the Geass command "survive" found in the original work, Suzaku Kururugi is relatively easier to kill.

However, just as he had the numbered agent lurking in the governor's mansion take Cornelia away, and then boarded the Nation-Protector Divine Machine himself, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear in a corner of the rooftop garden.

"CC? What's she doing here?"

Mahiro paused slightly, then saw CC waving at him, seemingly gesturing for him to come over...

At the same time.

Shortly after leaving the governor's mansion, Lelouch contacted the Black Knights to issue his next orders, but received an unexpected message.

"What did you say?! Everyone's disappeared?!"

"Yes... it seems the fan was attacked by someone, and was seriously injured. The person guarding it was also killed..."

The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a very weak and soft tone, as if afraid of offending the other party.

But Lelouch patiently asked:

"I understand. What about the girl in the wheelchair?"

Even if she tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, she couldn't hide her anxiety.

The person on the other end stammered for a long time before finally whispering, "It's gone..."

Not only are they gone, they've all already left Ashford Academy, so it's impossible for them to go back and look for them now.

Because a terrifying guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere at the Ashford Academy and almost destroyed everything around him.

But before I could explain anything further, the call was disconnected.

At this moment, Lelouch was extremely anxious, and even accelerated the speed at which he operated Gawain, and hurriedly called Mahiro.

This is the only thing he can think of that can help him right now.

However, no matter how many times I called, no one answered until the call was automatically disconnected.

"What on earth is going on?!"

Lelouch his fist and slammed it hard against the keyboard, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Pain, despair, and anger surged into his heart. He couldn't understand why Nunnally had disappeared after he had only gone to see Cornelia once!

However, the next second, a surging wave of wind and heat swept over Gawain.

Turning around, they saw a dazzling white light quietly rising from where Ashford Academy had been, so bright it was enough to turn everything around into daylight.

"Nunnally!!!"

The timeline shifts to ten minutes ago.

"Teacher... brother..."

Not long ago, a period of chaos occurred in the college, so a few members of the Student Council secretly ran out to find a solution. Because she appeared to have difficulty moving around, she was left behind.

Gazing out the window at the city shrouded in gunfire, the girl clasped her hands to her chest, as if in prayer.

Ultimately, is the hope that Mahiro and Lelouch will return safely?

Do you still hope this war can end soon?

Nunnally didn't know.

Just as she was lost in worry and thought, the door to the room suddenly opened.

Nunnally instinctively closed her eyes, once again pretending to be a disabled girl.

However, what the person who entered the room said took her by surprise.

"Nunnally, it seems you've recovered."

The voice was unfamiliar; I had never heard it before, and it sounded very young, as if the person was even younger than me.

The most crucial element is what the other person says.

Nunnally instinctively turned her wheelchair around and slowly opened her eyes to look at the other person.

If a stranger can see through her disguise, then there's no need to continue pretending.

But upon seeing who it was, Nunnally was startled and couldn't help but ask:

"Excuse me... who are you?"

She tried her best to hide her unusual emotions.

The reason was simply because the newcomer was a little boy, but he inexplicably bore a resemblance to her in three or four parts, although his clothing was very strange, like that of some kind of pope.

However, upon hearing her question, the other person slowly revealed a smile.

"I am your uncle, Charles' brother, VV."

"Uncle VV?"

Nunnally tilted her head innocently, looking confused.

But I've already memorized the name and am wondering why it's so similar to CC's name.

Could it also be related to that Geass?

Although puzzled, Nunnally temporarily suppressed her doubts and cautiously asked tentatively:

"Uncle, what brings you here...?"

With her sharp eyes, she had already secretly spotted the two guards lying by the door; without exception, their throats had been slit, and blood had soaked the carpet.

But she remained calm.

VV stepped forward and said, "I've come to take you back, Nunnally. Back to Britannia, back to the Aries Palace, back to the place where you used to live."

"But before that, I want to tell you some things, things about Shadow, about Zero, and everything about Geass."

As she spoke, VV gracefully stepped forward.

Despite his young appearance, one could see the maturity and pretense of an adult in him, a pretense that was utterly repulsive.

At least that's how Nunnally sees it.

And he firmly refused:

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I'm not interested in the truth you're telling me, and I won't go with you."

"What did you say?"

VV's steps froze, a hint of danger flashing in her eyes, and the smile on her face slowly returned to calm.

An invisible aura of authority permeated the air.

"I said, I will not go back with you."

Nunnally spoke each word clearly, while simultaneously maneuvering her wheelchair backward slightly, and then said again:

"Let's do it, Miss Beta."

The next second.

A flash of white light suddenly appeared.

VV was completely caught off guard and immediately felt his body tilt forward uncontrollably. At the same time, a flash of white light passed by and sliced across his throat.

The sprayed blood instantly stained everything around it.

Several girls appeared beside Nunnally.

"... Someone from the Shadow Garden? I didn't expect that person to have anticipated my arrival."

Strangely, VV was clearly cut in half at the waist and beheaded, yet she did not die; all her wounds were restored to their original state as if time had reversed.

"Just as Mahiro said, he's very difficult to kill."

Beta sighed softly.

"Of course, he also has a code on him."

Upon hearing this, VV slowly raised her head and saw a familiar figure among the people.

"CC!"

VV's expression turned noticeably serious, and she asked in a accusatory tone, "Did you betray us?"

"Betrayal? No, I've never chosen anyone, so why talk about betrayal?"

CC's voice was soft and her tone casual, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

"You..."

Just as VV was about to speak, a magical monitor was pinned to his forehead.

It was Beta who did it, he said, staring disdainfully at the blond brat.

But the next second, CC suddenly covered her forehead and staggered.

"What's wrong with you?"

Beta and Epsilon instinctively tried to help him up, but CC pushed them away, anxiously saying, "Quick, Mahiro is in trouble!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Beta, disregarding everything else, directly said to Delta beside him—

"Delta, this man is yours. We're going to support Mahiro. Remember, evacuate in five minutes."

The wolf-tailed girl didn't respond, she just nodded.

She had originally intended to help, but upon reflection, she realized there was nothing she could do to help, and Alpha had instructed her not to be willful and to obey Beta's orders.

So he abandoned the idea of following, and instead looked at the undead brat who had recovered, a bloodthirsty smile spreading across his face, before charging forward.

It approached VV at an extremely fast speed.

VV's expression darkened.

"Kill her."

A childish voice uttered the cruelest words.
