I'll kill you after I finish this game!

With a burst of scorching light enough to vaporize both eyes, Sakurai Hotaru used her Flame Sword as an energy transformer, and a stream of dazzling golden-red light shot out from the tip of the Flame Sword!

That blinding beam of light seemed capable of melting everything! The brilliance of this beam of light was so great that even the void itself was distorted and deformed.

No amount of celestial brilliance can overshadow that dazzling light!

Sakurai Hotaru launched a stellar helium flash directly at Fujii Ren!

The sunlight that humans normally see comes from outside the sun, while hydrogen nuclear fusion occurs inside.

Hydrogen undergoes fusion under high temperature and pressure to produce helium, releasing energy and radiating outwards. The helium produced does not escape outside the sun; it is blocked by the sun's radiation zone and accumulates inside the sun.

As more helium elements remain quietly inside the sun, the pressure and temperature inside the sun rise as hydrogen fusion develops. One day, the pressure and temperature reach a critical value, and the helium is ignited, initiating helium fusion. Due to the accumulation of helium, energy is released at the moment helium fusion ignites, which is called a helium flash.

A helium flash is a violent celestial event that occurs when the hydrogen in a star is depleted.

In the instant a stellar helium flash occurs, the energy released is equivalent to the total energy released over the past 2500 million years.

In the vacuum of space, amidst the infusion of various radiations, particles, and light waves, this terrifying light was practically a death knell! Even Ultraman would be terrified by the sight of that horrifying stream of heat that made his chest energy lamp beep!

"Ughh ...

Fujii Ren, relentlessly engulfed by this terrifying stream of heat, began to vaporize and evaporate, screaming uncontrollably.

Skin, flesh, bones, and even the soul were being burned madly.

If it weren't for the energy within his body frantically circulating to resist the heat from burning him, he would have instantly turned into nothingness, leaving not even ashes!

But she couldn't die, she couldn't lose, she couldn't lose to someone who held beliefs she didn't agree with!

Hotaru Sakurai kills and fights because she wants to get back what she has lost.

Because there are dead who want to be resurrected, they constantly pursue the miracle of the dead coming back to life, while struggling to survive.

That is true, pure, and an ultimate love that transcends good and evil.

Indeed, this guy is no ordinary serial killer. It must have been very unpleasant for Fujii Ren, who didn't know the situation, to call him a villain.

but……

Click—click—click—click—

An impossible, frigid aura spread out, accompanied by dense ice shards breaking apart.

"—Stop joking!"

Fujii Ren, whose eyes had been evaporated into bloody holes, glared fiercely at Sakurai Hotaru with furious eyes that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.

A light, unlike the fiery rays of Sakurai Hotaru, burst forth. It was a beautiful and dazzling dawn, an aurora, where gentle beauty and cruel coldness were combined into one!

Margaret Blue, a goddess-like phantom, embraced Fujii Ren from behind, gently shielding her from all the heat and light like a mother protecting her child!

Along with the movement of dawn, there was also the freezing cold air that froze everything, which was also shot out by the guillotine on Fujii Ren's arm!

Even the normal operation of spacetime has shown a clear sign of stagnation.

Its power was in no way inferior to Sakurai Hotaru's shimmering, distorting beam of light that twisted the void.

Absolute Zero - The Forgiveness of the Dawn Goddess!

The blazing and freezing rays collided with a roar, producing a terrifying energy effect that could shatter the surrounding galaxy clusters.

Perhaps Fujii Ren himself was too arbitrary in his initial assessment of the other party's beliefs and desires.

But the other side is undoubtedly an idiot, and an idiot of the worst kind.

"The targets of your killings must be important people, right? That's great. But for me, the only 'tangible' thing can't compare to the other 'intangible' things. If you're not happy, don't mind if I call you a bad person!!" Sakurai Hotaru increased the power of her energy output, and the flashing heat on her flaming sword erupted even more violently.

The other party knows they're wrong, but there's nothing they can do. For those who care and for others who don't, it's a sure-fire way to make money.

Fujii Ren also disliked those pretty words, and the value of life, of course, changes with each person's subjective perspective.

"Didn't you realize the logic you were making?"

Frozen aurora continued to radiate from the guillotine blade, and there was something about Fujii Ren that he absolutely could not accept regarding Sakurai Hotaru's beliefs!

"what?"

Sakurai Hotaru gritted her teeth, puzzled as to what was wrong with her words. The explosion of light from the collision of their beams radiated outwards, blooming into dazzling energy flowers in the cosmos.

At the point where the two beam cannons collided, matter, energy, space... everything was collapsing.

So, aside from the contest of strength, Fujii Ren really wanted to say something to this woman whose regret was beyond redemption.

If it's truly that important and cherished, if it's truly that deeply loved.

No matter what you use to exchange, there is no suitable scale to weigh it.

"If it's truly important, then it's not worth exchanging anything for! Something that can be bought with a thousand lives is too cheap; it's neither unique nor one of a kind!!!"

Like a madman, Fujii Ren roared, recklessly squeezing out his life force to convert into energy, his body and soul burning to the very end under the power of his will.

Kasumi, Shirou, Reia, Skadi, Mary, and everyone else—if someone dies somewhere, they can't come back, and they can't return, at this price.

I learned from Mary that my senior could fight tooth and nail for victory—to the point of being completely reckless.

Sometimes, one directly burns their lifespan to bombard an unforgivable enemy.

Ten years? A hundred years? A thousand years?

Having become a demon, Fujii Ren didn't know how long her lifespan was, but at this moment, for victory and for an undeniable belief, she used all her life force to attack.

Grain-like fragments disintegrated from Fujii Ren's body and scattered into the void.

These are fragments of the strong! They only appear when the physical body and soul are completely burned away.

At this moment, Fujii Ren's body is in danger of complete collapse! It's not a physical collapse, but a collapse of the genetic chain. Allowing energy flow to exceed the body's capacity for a long time and burning the will to the limit will cause the DNA chain of the life gene to break.

Even a god-level powerhouse who can reassemble their body and even create matter from the void will die when their DNA chain collapses—turning into fragments.

At this moment, Fujii Ren was on the verge of being reduced to fragments of a powerful being. Roaring amidst the freezing light of the Aurora Execution, he forcefully pushed Sakurai Hotaru's blazing heat stream directly towards his opponent! And then...

Snapped--!

"--Well!"

The black and red iron hand, encased in a guillotine, pierced through Sakurai Hotaru's beam cannon, gripping her entire face like an iron clamp.

Unable to resist, her lotus was completely covered and squeezed by a hand. Under the irresistible force, she was pressed face down and trampled at the speed of light, crashing and piercing countless planets, flying backward uncontrollably.

Fujii Ren's face was covered in porcelain-like cracks. Her hands gripped Sakurai Hotaru's face with terrifying strength, making her cheeks crack and pop. It seemed that at any moment, Fujii Ren would crush her head.

Sakurai Hotaru wanted to move, but couldn't move at all. She wanted to resist, but Fujii Ren had already frozen her power and restrained the penetrating properties of the flames. She could only let the other grab her head and frantically slam and rub it against the planet.

If it weren't for Fujii Ren's eagerness to save Ayase Kasumi, she would have liked to spend time finding a black hole and a white hole to let Sakurai Hotaru have some fun!

But now he could only try to return to the solar system as quickly as possible while continuing to beat up his opponent. Only after returning to the familiar solar system did Fujii Ren become somewhat restrained.

He released the other person's distorted cheeks and instead grabbed their hair, swinging his arm in a wide arc to form a rapidly spinning windmill.

Upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, it hurled Sakurai Hotaru vertically into the stratosphere.

boom--!

Enveloped by Fujii Ren's power and energy field, he even used a special force to make his opponent circle the earth once in a second!

Once the opponent had completed a full circle and entered the designated location over Japan, Fujii Ren, taking advantage of the opponent's speed and mass, delivered another powerful punch to the opponent's head, using restrained force.

Snap——!

This time, the sound of bones breaking came from Sakurai Hotaru's body.

The intense pain, the sensation of a blow to the head hitting the skull, made Sakurai Hotaru, whose eyes rolled back, experience the same swaying sensation that Fujii Ren had felt during his motion sickness and vomiting.

Falling back into Suwahara City, and even as Fujii Ren intentionally moved closer to the area below the hospital, Sakurai Hotaru crashed heavily to the ground.

"You're just using transactions to devalue what you love!"

Gasping for breath, Fujii Ren, her body seemingly fragile and riddled with cracks, gritted her teeth as she looked at Sakurai Hotaru sprawled on the ground before her, even though every cell in her body was screaming in agony. She said:

"A transmutation altar? Reinhardt? I won't give you my stuff for something so trivial. Go look in that junkyard over there!!"

"...What!?"

Hearing Fujii Ren's furious, belittling remarks, Sakurai Hotaru reluctantly propped herself up, blood streaming from her forehead, and stood on the ground wielding her flaming sword, glaring fiercely at her opponent. She said:

"Trash? Take that back!!!"

choke--!

The flaming sword shattered the ground once more, but this time it didn't pierce the guillotine. Instead, it violently collided with its opponent, scattering countless dense sparks.

Their sacred relics ignited the flames of their souls, the fluctuations between their spiritual particles clashed violently, and the desires of their hearts constantly distorted their reality.

This is not just a fierce clash of weapons manifested from relics.

This is a collision of souls, desires, and beliefs.

Therefore, Sakurai Hotaru will not penetrate, but instead stubbornly clashes with her opponent, refusing to back down even a step!

Before him, sparks flew as weapons clashed. Fujii Ren, peering through the sacred relic and its deadly weapon, gritted his teeth at Sakurai Hotaru and growled:

"What else could it be but trash? Could those so-called sacrifices you killed possibly come back to life? How shameless! No matter how you piece together trash, it can't turn into gold, can it?!"

Whether it's a thousand people or ten thousand, this guy in front of him considers it a cheap deal.

Compared to the important things I've lost, everything else is worthless to me.

If that's the case, then trying to retrieve one's treasure at such a supposedly cheap price would only result in something as worthless and worthless as trash, right?

What's lost will never come back! That's why we should cherish every moment while we're alive.

For Fujii Ren, things that die and are resurrected, things that are lost and will come back, are things that are so worthless that they can only be exchanged for garbage!

She has these values ​​that others consider abnormal, and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with what she does!

"—So verbose!!"

With a soft "噗嗤" sound, blood spurted from the palms of both hands gripping the sword due to the immense force. Blood and tears streamed from Sakurai Hotaru's eyes as she gritted her teeth and hysterically denied Fujii Ren's words, roaring and howling:

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! What do you even know?! You haven't lost anything, you've just been living a carefree life until now! What's wrong with my wishes?!"

The roar transformed into a burst of flames that spread outwards, completely enveloping the two of them. This anger was converted into propulsion.

Sakurai Hotaru cried out in fury, her face contorted with rage. Her hands, gripping the sword, were twisted by immense force and bleeding profusely, yet she fought with all her might, determined not to lose!

And so, fueled by her raging emotions, even with the guillotine piercing her neck and about to sever her head, Sakurai Hotaru, as if willing to perish together with her opponent, unleashed her flaming sword towards the opponent's neck with explosive force.

Blood gushed from their necks, dripping onto the ground along with each other's weapons, or being evaporated by the flames.
