OverWrite vanished from Blue's face. After taking in the scene before her, only astonishment remained in her eyes.
Swap Papyrus stood in front of the human.
With a slight lift of her hand, a mass of bone spikes rose before her, forcibly blocking the earth-shattering barrage.
Blue dropped out of the air.
"Little sister!"
Swap Papyrus said nothing, her expression calm.
"What are you doing?! Get out of there!!!"
Behind her, a large cleaver appeared in X-Chara's hand, and he swung it at Swap Papyrus.
"They're right, Sans... in this timeline... we have no value left..."
"...We'd be better off disappearing along with everything we've lost."
Only astonishment remained on Blue's face.
She was stunned by Papyrus's words.
And by the truth Papyrus had spoken.
"...Why would you say that..."
"You've done everything you could, big sister. But... it's time to leave."
Swap Papyrus turned around to face the blade swinging toward her.
"At least... this was the best timeline we ever lived in."
..
..
Everything changed in an instant.
A white-haired man who looked a lot like Classic Sans appeared in front of Swap Papyrus.
He blocked the attack.
[253]
A red number popped up from Murder's body.
"Heh, kid..."
Determination and endurance gleamed in Murder's eyes.
"Your damage... isn't even as high as the human's back where I'm from."
Ding.
Gravity bore down on X-Chara, keeping him from getting up.
He wasn't exactly in a good position now.
Didn't I just teleport those two away? How did they get back so fast... no, this guy...
This guy wasn't Classic Sans.
Seeing that towering LV of 18, X-Chara no longer felt like he had everything under control.
How was he here?!
"...Take it easy. We can talk. Why don't we turnip some fun in all this?"
X-Chara tried making a pun to get the guy in front of him to calm down.
Murder looked unmoved.
"You think... making puns at me... means you won't get beaten up?"
OverWrite.
Using OverWrite to escape Murder's gravity control, X-Chara leaped high into the air and unleashed a massive purple slash.
"I can do that too."
Killer flashed to Murder's side and unleashed an equally massive blade wave, forcibly stopping X-Chara's attack in midair.
"...Killer?"
Nightmare's expression looked grim.
He could clearly feel it-Killer was still under his control.
Then this person before him, equally full of negative emotions...
Was she a Killer from another timeline?
"Shit, why is it you?"
Killer's expression soured when she saw Nightmare, too.
If I'd known Octopus was here, I would've watched a little longer.
It wasn't as though she couldn't have let Murder handle the situation alone.
But when she saw Murder rush out, she had followed him before she could stop herself.
And that had led to this awkward scene.
Nearby, drawing on that fleeting moment of Swap Papyrus's happy memories, Dream had also arrived with Fell and Classic.
Seeing someone step in to save the day, Classic decided to watch a little longer.
Still, wasn't their rescuer's LV a little high?
But as the saying went, even the worst person could change if they tried.
If Murder had surprised him-a bad skeleton who had killed his way to LV 18, yet was actually helping them-
Then seeing the other person who had come to help left both Classic and Fell utterly rattled.
999999 LV.
What the hell was that?
And with a Level of Violence that high.
She was actually on their side.
Dream, on the other hand, looked perfectly normal.
No, she didn't look normal at all.
Her pupils were trembling violently!!
"K... K... Killer?!?!"
Rubbing her eyes, Dream took another careful look.
This girl... wasn't she always working for Nightmare?!
Had she fallen out with Nightmare over how he exploited his underlings?!
Classic shook his head.
He would set aside those two with their absurdly high LVs for now.
Since they had chosen to save Swap Papyrus, he would treat them as allies for the time being.
Right now, X-Chara's attack was on cooldown.
Classic flashed in front of X-Chara and looked at his startled expression.
Classic said only one thing.
"'Never let your guard down.'"
