Alaya, Get Out Here and Clean Up This Mess! (5.5K) (Continued)

For a better life?

That's complete nonsense.

Life is merely a secondary matter; in essence, it serves the purpose of conflict.

With humanity's technological capabilities, we can't say we'll destroy a planet, but we can certainly level the Earth's surface, which means we've already established ourselves at the top of the carbon-based food chain.

"It is precisely because of conflict that we have the life we have today."

As for lies, those are also indispensable to humankind.

Because even among lies, there are white lies, which are deceptions done in good faith to provide a buffer so that the person involved is not too hurt.

Otherwise, saying things bluntly can be very hurtful.

"This is all sophistry!"

"Hmm, you're right, I don't deny it."

Faced with Charles's rebuttal, Mahiro shrugged and said bluntly, "That's why I think it's pointless to say anything to someone we don't see eye to eye!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Yotsuba Mahiro's hand, which was stroking the stone pillar, suddenly transformed into sharp claws, violently uprooting the heavy pillar in front of her and sweeping it towards Charles like a pillar of strength.

Seemingly anticipating this move, Charles merely snorted and quickly retreated, dodging the attack.

But the next second, spots of crimson blood suddenly seeped from his chest.

A dagger was stuck in Charles's chest. He looked down at the wound in disbelief, then looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Marie... Anna..."

Indeed, the one who stabbed him was none other than his most trusted and beloved queen, Marianne.

"I'm sorry, Charles, but I think there's some truth to Mahiro said."

Marianne winked playfully, her lips still curved into a mischievous smile.

But all of this infuriated Charles.

"Marianne!!!"

"It's so noisy!"

Boom--

Charles was immediately smashed into a pulp, and Charles Yotsuba Mahiro even used a pillar to grind him back and forth forcefully.

Like a millstone, it won't stop until it has squeezed out all the juice.

"Tsk, why are you yelling so loudly? Do you think you're the only one with a mouth? Or is it just that you have a loud voice?"

As he cursed, he looked up at Marianne, who was approaching.

I didn't expect Yotsuba Clan's mental interference magic to be so powerful Yotsuba Miya.

As the experimental subject, Marianne's mental body was completely rewritten by him, with the aim of providing Charles with a little fun, and also as a way of collecting some interest on the torment Nunnally had suffered since childhood.

You should know that these inhuman parents treated Lelouch and Nunnally as experimental subjects from a young age, constantly sending them into the laboratory for modification.

The goal is to improve the adaptability of Geass, and then use them to get close to CC and complete their plan.

Unexpectedly, CC was snatched away by him halfway.

"Marianne, you betrayed me!!!"

Just then, Charles suddenly reappeared, like an enraged lion, and pounced on Marianne.

"They never learn their lesson."

Snap!

Mahiro snapped his fingers, and Charles instantly turned into ashes and vanished.

Unless it's an extremely powerful being, his "Nihility" is just that unreasonable.

Charles has truly experienced the power and domineering nature of it all.

Regardless of how it revives or reappears, it will be Decomposition immediately.

After dozens of attempts, Charles finally gave up his reckless behavior, merely glaring at Marianne before standing still.

I never imagined that someone who yearned for immortality and shared my ideals would betray me at such a time...

"Hey, not going to keep charging up?"

This time, Charles did not get angry. He simply raised his palm, and the red bird mark engraved on his palm shone brightly, resonating with the CODE mark on CC's forehead.

Only two CODE marks can guarantee a 100% success rate in killing a god, Charles knew this very well. Fortunately, CC did not resist his actions.

The moment the two CODE imprints resonated, all the Twilight Gate ruins around the world trembled.

"Those who step through this door must abandon all hope."

The entire world was swept by a powerful magnitude 7 earthquake!

Inside the Twilight Gate, the scene has also changed.

Dusk ushered in eternal silence, and all falsehood shattered like glass, leaving only the cold, mechanical operation, connecting the sky above to the C's World.

"Come on, CC, now merge your CODE mark into one, and your wish will be fulfilled, and your curse will come to an end."

Charles believed that as long as C. C. did not resist, even if Yotsuba Mahiro to stop him, it would be of no use.

But in the end, he was one move behind.

"Why, CC? Do you really want your wish to come true?"

Charles frowned deeply because he saw that as he approached, CC shifted her feet and hid directly behind Yotsuba Mahiro!

As Mahiro grasped CC's outstretched hand, he stepped forward, looking at the man before him with amusement.

Do you really know what CC's wish is?

"CC's wish? Then go ask her..."

Charles looked at CC as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, and said in a low voice.

"My wish?"

At that moment, Charles noticed that CC's expression was strange, as if she had hesitated for a long time, or as if she was thinking, before finally speaking in a slow voice:

"... My wish is—to die! To let my existence end forever!"

CC spoke with conviction, each word deliberate and clear.

Upon hearing this, Charles felt a slow sense of relief, but the next second, he was filled with rage.

"But that's a wish from the past. I now know my true wish, my true thought, which is to yearn for love, an eternal and unchanging love."

This time, CC's voice was very soft, so soft that it could be carried away by a gentle breeze at any moment.

"CC! Do you want to break our promise?!"

Upon hearing CC's words, Mahiro simply smiled silently, but Charles, enraged, questioned him relentlessly.

However, CC smiled and said:

"Heh, Charles, who do you think I am?"

Her laughter was as clear as silver bells. Faced with Charles's angry words, CC revealed a charming expression and said sarcastically, "... I am CC, a witch who has lived for thousands of years. How could a witch possibly please anyone?"

Now Charles understood that the two of them had conspired to fool him!

Coupled with Marianne's betrayal, he completely lost his mind.

Suddenly, Charles pulled a pistol from his pocket. The pistol wasn't aimed at CC, but at Yotsuba Mahiro!

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

But the bullet that was fired was caught between Mahiro's two fingers.

He glanced at the gleaming yellow bullet at his fingertip, chuckled, and tossed it to the ground.

"How disgusting, Charles! Have you lost your mind in your rage? You think you can use a toy like this against me? If you used your pathetic martial arts to exchange a few blows with me, perhaps I would have given you some respect, but now..."

As he spoke, Mahiro shook his head in disappointment.

Immediately afterwards, he casually waved his hand.

Swish!

A sharp wind blade instantly severed Charles's legs, and painful howls echoed within the cold space where the Akasha Sword was wielding.

Immortality does not mean immunity to the pain of mortals.

Moreover, he only severed Charles's leg; even if he wanted to resurrect him using the code, it would be completely impossible.

Mahiro, too lazy to waste any more time arguing with this guy, shouted directly into the space above:

"Hey, Alaya! Come out and wash the floor!"

As if hearing his call, a soft sigh came from the space above.

Suddenly, the Akasha Sword changed. The humans wrapped around it seemed to be freed, and like Charles who had lost his legs, they crawled onto him like reptiles, dragging him little by little toward the Abyss behind him.

"Yotsuba Mahiro!!!"

At that moment, Charles once again felt that long-lost fear, the terror of facing death.

The first person that came to his mind was VV.

"Brother... Brother, save me!!!"

Unfortunately, VV could no longer save him this time and could only be dragged into the Abyss little by little.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Yotsuba Mahiro anymore.

At the same time.

On the battlefield, the Britannia army suffered repeated defeats.

Although all the Knights of the Rounds rushed to the battlefield and managed to salvage the situation somewhat, it was only a small part.

Bismarck Waldstein, the strongest First Knight, was granted the Geass called "Predict the Future" and was invincible. However, after shattering Delta's mech, he was torn apart on the spot by the enraged Delta along with Knightmare.

For others, a mecha might be a great experience or even an asset, but for Delta, it's a troublesome seal, one that she can't bear to break.

Once destroyed, it will naturally incur Delta's endless wrath.

As for the other Knights of the Rounds, they were either dead or captured.

However, Suzaku Kururugi suffered the most tragic fate. He was betrayed on the battlefield. During his battle with Kallen, Monica suddenly appeared and pierced Lancelot's cockpit with her sword, killing Suzaku Kururugi along with him.

Monica, of course, fled to the Shadow Garden's camp. By the time Britannia realized what was happening and tried to give chase, it was already too late.

From this point on, Britannia suffered a complete defeat, forced to shorten its defensive lines and concentrate its forces on defending its last stronghold.

The magnificent Pandora Detached Palace is, in a sense, a testament to how the world revolves around it.

Because it was the palace of the Holy Britannian Empire, the world's most powerful nation.

The towering main hall is surrounded by numerous high-rise buildings and architecture that blends the Britannia. Its complexity and overwhelming scale are unmatched by the governor's mansions in the various colonies.

Now, the former imperial palace is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and is scarred by war, much like Shinjuku in Japan.

"Do you want to detonate it?"

Inside the command center of the aerial fortress of Penglai Island, Alpha handed the detonator to the girl beside him, Kaguya Sumeragi.

Not long ago, Zeta and his group infiltrated the palace and secretly buried the bomb [FLEIJA] that Nina had completed deep within the palace grounds.

Now, simply press this button, and the capital of Britannia will instantly vanish into thin air.

However, she still offered Kaguya Sumeragi a choice: she could take revenge herself if she wished.

Seeing the detonator Alpha handed her, Kaguya Sumeragi hesitated only for a moment before taking it and pressing the button without hesitation.

She understood that this was a sin she deserved to bear, and also a release she deserved.

The next second, a blinding white light enveloped everyone's vision, followed by a deafening explosion.

A massive mushroom cloud rose up, instantly turning the entire capital of Britannia into ruins, reducing everything to ashes. The explosion at the very center left an unbelievable crater, and even reinforced concrete within a ten-kilometer radius was vaporized. The very edge of the FLEIJA was flattened by the storm.
