I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Moreover, even if you can no longer identify someone by their appearance, you can still guess who they are by looking at their gradually recovered appearance and clothing.

Therefore, although Rusalka said he didn't care, he secretly hoped that the figure holding the guillotine could win the battle and become a member of the Black Round Table.

In this way, she can completely confirm the other party's identity.

“Boom, boom!!!!”

The steel fist and the decapitated blade collided fiercely, unleashing a deafening explosion on the battlefield. The tangible shockwave soared into the sky and spread in all directions.

The terrifying destructive power wanted to extend to a wider area, but the space in the Shura Field continued to expand into a larger battle arena as Reinhardt's thoughts progressed.

If this hellish scene hadn't been constructed by Reinhardt's Golden Demon Castle, it would have been like two nuclear bombs exploding and destroying everything visible in the real world long ago.

Click!

A chilling sound of steel scraping against steel rang out. Michelle, who had been blasted away by the shockwave, clenched her steel fist and forcefully broke through all obstacles in her path.

At this moment, half of Michelle's face was exposed, revealing steel bones and flying flesh, and her left eye showed an ominous scarlet color, like a demon from hell.

Furthermore, what caught the attention of the Black Round Table members was that his steel fists were burning with dark purple spiritual flames.

"I am steel, the embodiment of the end that tramples and crushes everything."

The words Michel murmured were his beliefs and his self-awareness on the battlefield.

As he continued to affirm his desires, beliefs, and will, his soul also began to surge, resonating deeply with his sacred relics.

"Having traversed countless battlefields, imagining that you have reached your resting place, and being certain of the glory you have achieved... in reality, these are merely the starting point for the next battlefield."

Anger! Visible anger erupted from Michelle's dark purple aura, and the truth he murmured was something he could neither admit nor accept.

This anger caused his [Form] rank to begin to loosen, and the human-artifact fusion type of relic began to reshape its form, making Michel's fist even thicker and larger.

"I don't need such foolishness anymore, I no longer need it..."

Yes, it's no longer needed; it's meaningless.

"Whether it's bright red blood... or pale bones..."

Everything in life is an illusion.

"Whether it's the charred, mangled flesh... or the gray entrails oozing from the abdomen..."

Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color.

"Whether it's a gun or a sword gleaming with a cold light... or a bullet with a metallic texture..."

I have lost all desire to live.

"Whether it was the creaking vibrations of the tanks... or the stench of decay in the trenches..."

There was no longer any attachment to life.

"All of this, all of this, I can no longer love... But since I can't avoid it, no matter how many times, I can only do my best to slaughter!!"

Therefore, only death, only the final curtain call, is necessary.

I've already run my own race through life, so I must find the end I've lost!

With such a strong belief and an intense anger, Michelle's power was elevated to a new level.

"Here, I will give you this unique end!"

At the same moment she spoke, in the blink of an eye, Michelle, whose speed surpassed human intelligence, arrived in front of Rhodes and raised her heavy iron fist to punch him hard in the chest.

Rhodes gritted his teeth, barely managing to react before he could only raise his hands and the guillotine to protect his chest.

but.......

pound!!!!

The atmosphere exploded, space howled, and Rhodes screamed as he was blasted away.

The blow was incredibly heavy and powerful, shocking even the members of the Black Round Table on the observation platform and posing a strong threat to them.

The entire massive battlefield was blasted open by Michelle's attack, leaving a mark that stretched all the way to the wall at the end.

It even caused a slight tremor throughout the entire Golden Demon City. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to feel this reaction, but it was far too obvious for the members of the Black Round Table.

So strong! !

This was the consensus among the Black Round Table members after they came to their senses; astonishment and shock were all directed at Michelle, who had delivered this devastating blow.

"Wow! Oh my god! That's amazing! That's incredible! What is that!?"

Even the crazed and irrational Schreiber was startled by this attack. His eyes widened as he watched the deathmatch on the battlefield escalate to a new level. He laughed excitedly:

"Great! Awesome! Keep fighting!!! This is Valhalla! This is the war of heroes!!!"

For Schreiber, that beast, the scene before him was the most delightful blessing.

The more intense the battle, the more excited and joyful he felt.

As for the opponent's strength and threat? Confident in his own speed, Schreiber said that no matter how powerful the attack is, it is meaningless if it can't hit!

"Crackling sound—"

From Rhodes' side, who was buried in a small hill of rubble, came a commotion. He touched his slightly sunken chest with one hand, his face covered in blood, and he stood up again.

Furthermore, the soul within his body was being rapidly consumed, beginning to be burned and devoured by Rhodes in order to heal his own injuries.

To heal the injuries caused by Michelle's attack, Rhodes used up nearly 30% of his soul power.

"Ha... Ugh... Seriously... What's with all this talk about the end?! Aren't you annoying?!"

Roaring loudly, he adjusted his state, and the anger caused Rhodes' soul to resonate and merge with the guillotine at a high frequency.

Rhodes, whose speed had increased dozens of times again, roared and hummed the guillotine blade in his hand, the bloody aura and sharp edge of which were aimed directly at Michelle's neck.

In the eyes of Reiji and Mercury Serpent, Rhodes' soul had become indistinguishable from the guillotine, even taking on the shape of the guillotine itself.

This situation brought smiles to their faces, and they were satisfied with the progress of the current situation.

Rhodes's most cherished relic is his family's guillotine, which is most deeply connected to him.

Besides selecting the seventh member of the Black Round Table, this battle also requires forging Rhodes' soul into a shape that satisfies Rez and the Mercury Serpent.

At this very moment, in this chaotic arena, Michelle and Rhodes are undergoing a process of continuous refinement and purification.

Rhodes gritted his teeth, using the decapitation blade to desperately block the opponent's steel fists, and used all his strength to bring the blade closer to the opponent's body.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

Between Michelle and Rhodes, the relic clashed and clashed, constantly sparking intense energy, neither willing to back down or relinquish their strength.

The immense force caused the ground beneath their feet to cave in, and the surrounding air crackled with dazzling sparks as their spiritual energy collided.

"Listen up, you utterly gloomy bastard!!"

Rhodes's blade clashed repeatedly with Michelle's, his muscles tensed, channeling his power as he glared at the familiar figure before him, growling:

"I'm not like you! I don't dwell on what's already lost!!! Missed opportunities! Forgotten things! That's certainly regrettable and infuriating!! But no matter what I'm like now, I'm still alive! So I can only move forward, there's definitely my ideal waiting for me there!!"

As he uttered these words, which confirmed his desires and ideals, countless viewers witnessed what Rhodes saw as an illusion.

Several figures stood together in the sunlight, chatting and laughing intimately. I looked down on their faces and couldn't recognize what they looked like.

Moreover... a blonde girl seemed to be opening her arms to him, wanting to hug him, a white-haired girl reached out as if beckoning him to come quickly, and the other figures were also calling out to him.

I don't know them, and I can't understand their existence.

But! Under that gentle sunlight, there truly was a figure that made me feel at ease, and there was a happiness in that atmosphere that I could cherish!

Rhodes didn't know what that scene was, nor whether it was a memory from his previous life.

But one thing is certain: he wants to go to that place! The familiar feeling emanating from his soul makes him like that place.

[Pure White Queen]: This is... a premonition? Recalling the future, no, is it a past life?

【Pink Fairy】: That's the place Rhodes wanted to go. The origin of Aisana's longing came from him.

【Blue Ribbon Goddess】: It's a pity that Rhodes, now that he's dead, doesn't have much memory left. He'll probably mistake that suddenly appearing scene for fragments of his memories from his past life.

[Bard]: Rhodes is Rhodes, and Fujii Ren is Fujii Ren. Right now, this Rhodes is just a human, but Fujii Ren is the successor of the Mercury Serpent and has come into contact with Mary's scabbard.

【Gap Witch】: Fujii Ren is a soul modified by the Mercury Serpent, and the core of it is undoubtedly Rhodes in front of us.

[Old Demon King]: In a sense, this should be considered a gift from God, but this gift is not something that ordinary people can bear.

【Rose Witch】: Rhodes and Michelle were close comrades-in-arms in life. They both valued and loved Setsuna, but their understanding of Setsuna differed.

【DIO】: Michelle does not yearn for resurrection, so she seeks the death she missed.

【The Cautious Warrior】: Rhodes believed that although he was dead, he could still move, so he longed for the moments he had forgotten in his life and wanted to run back to them.

[World Destroyer]: In the world of eternal return, the desires of these two people seem somewhat ironic. Whether it is a unique death or a unique life, they are just scenes that keep playing out in the horror drama of Mercury Serpent.

[Qiao Rulai]: Back then... on the fourth day after the last successful transition to the fifth day, the Black Knight died at the hands of Fujii Ren. I was truly at peace with that, but it's a pity...

【Hundred Generations of Wisdom】: It's a pity that Mara appeared. If that evil god hadn't appeared, the Black Knight would probably have remained in the underworld in eternal slumber.

..........

Contradictory forces collided at this moment, leading Rhodes and Michelle to completely part ways on the path of their fleeting love.

One cherishes the fleeting moments of life, the other longs for the moment of death.

The difference in their perception and understanding of a fleeting moment is what sets Rhodes and Michelle apart.

They are different yet very similar, a fact that even they themselves can sense.

Therefore, in response to Rhodes's loud pronouncements about why he was different from her, Michelle, who was constantly clashing with him, replied in a deep voice:

"So, you and I are the same, right?"

They all want to move forward, and they all value the moment. Since they are already dead, why not pursue an end?

What exactly makes us different? I wonder where I've met this comrade before.

"No, the moment I crave is not in the form of death!!"

Rhodes loudly refuted the other's conclusion that they were the same. Looking at the man before him, he roared out the differences between them, saying, "The scenery I hope to preserve is not the scenery of the end!!!"

The intensity of desire rose again, and anger was reignited.

Rhodes pressed down hard on his feet again, temporarily gaining the upper hand over Michelle. After leaving a wound on Michelle's chest with his decapitation blade, he sent her flying.

call out----!
