I'll kill you after I finish this game!

It's like watching a super high-quality video and not wanting to see the progress bar reach the end.

"How many more times must we dig? Just where does your strength lie in the depths of the Abyss? The feeling of not yet reaching the bottom is just too wonderful..."

Soujiro and Shiori were filled with joy, enjoying themselves as they danced with swords, striving for limitless possibilities, and being overjoyed by Nanami's strength, whom they had always chased but never surpassed.

It's good that we haven't seen the end yet. Please do this, in order to respond to this unparalleled battle and prove that they are not just enjoying themselves one-sidedly, so...

"Therefore, I must—"

Enveloped by the purple-haired mirage aura, Sojiro resonated with the divine power, causing his sword energy to increase. Since awakening, he had already felt an even sharper and sharper 'Dao'.

Therefore, I must dedicate everything I have learned in the battle with Nanami to the other party!

"Sharper, stronger, faster, more skillful! I am the blade, the sword, and Zizhi is an untouchable mirage. At this moment, I only seek to kill and fight, I want... to truly enter your [heaven] and earth!!!"

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

The two Tai Chi divine powers merged together, not at the level of one plus one, but multiplied each other and then underwent a qualitative change, running in the infinite realm and chasing after the Seven Realms.

The fluctuations of sword and mirage energy began to erode Nanami's world more and more deeply, trying to excavate the opponent's "Heaven"!

Even if we wish the battle could continue indefinitely, the ultimate goal is far more alluring and captivating. Therefore, we must blast open the gates of the Seven Realms and prove that we are opponents who can make you give it your all!

The endless, annihilating strikes erupted, blossoming and piercing through the boundless chaotic void amidst the valiant roars of the gods seeking the Dao. They illuminated the dark and desolate vast emptiness, sprinkling upon infinite dimensions, immeasurable realms, and infinite worlds.

Peel away the seemingly powerful but actually weak shell of Nanami to see her true self.

Shattered, and as the two relentlessly pursued and explored, a certain apparent power was stripped away from Nanami.

A trembling, chilling sensation made Soujiro and Shiori feel the same desolate, lonely, and powerless feeling that ordinary people would feel when facing an abyss and dare not take another step closer.

"Before that, I'd like to ask you, what do you want to pursue after the battle?" Nanami, whose body was covered in what wasn't a wound but rather a self-imposed barrier, looked directly at the two with a probing gaze and said, "You know, right? The pursuit of the Way cannot touch 'that place,' because it has no meaning."

[Seated] There is no need to seek the divine, or to pursue results and ends in this world of eternal return.

Qi Shi did not believe that Matilda lacked self-awareness, nor did he believe that these two seekers of the Way, who had reached this point, were foolish.

Having fulfilled my own desires, what about my desires for the future?

"I don't know—I only know that I need enemies."

"I don't know—there are just too many possibilities."

Mibu Sojiro and Kujou Shiori readily gave their answers, uttering seemingly irresponsible and nonsensical words.

After all, they were both seekers of the Dao, beings who were extremely self-centered in their pursuit of enlightenment. Focusing too much on distant things made it difficult for them to touch upon their own fundamental essence.

The two responded to Nanami with even more powerful attacks. Mibu Soujiro's powerful slash, aided by Shiori, was unrelated to his weapon.

Because Sojiro is a sword, it doesn't matter whether he uses a cane, chopsticks, or even his bare hands.

The dazzling aura swayed, but Soujiro, who was mainly responsible for the attack, didn't think much of it.

The future? All he knew was that he needed enemies, powerful rivals like Nanami, nemesis with whom he could keep competing. Anything else was fine.

"Ishigami Shinto-ryu - One of the Secret Techniques"

Having prepared to blast open the gates to the final, ultimate battle, tearing apart the seemingly powerful yet actually weak barrier that the Seven Practitioners used to conceal and seal their true selves, Mibu Soujiro officially enters the fray: "Hayashi Kaze—Gogen no Ichifuki!!!"

Clang!

The explosive thing is an immeasurable, deviant truth, speed, reason, and skill that breaks through all the important elements that exist between them and explodes—the ultimate of the sword!

The armor of truth, which embellishes the true self, is constantly being torn apart, making this ultimate severance unavoidable.

The Seven Realms before us have been defeated, but they are not dead, because they have only broken the [Reason] and [Law] that the Seven Realms used to seal their true selves.

"Is that so? I'm so foolish to ask a seeker of the Way such a question. Haven't I had any freedom of movement in a long time...?"

The broken Nanami's expression became calm and peaceful, and she muttered some self-deprecating and lazy words.

Since further exploration is pointless, let Skadi handle the rest. After all, as a sword, she doesn't like to think too much.

Simply kill or destroy the enemy in front of you; it's too cunning of the newlyweds to be indulging in their desires.

Fortunately, you guys managed to do what only Skadi could do.

Yeah, stop thinking about anything else and just give it your all. If you worry too much about the future, even a knife will become dull and rusty...

"——————!"

Here they come! The real enemy, the real Nanami, has shattered the facade of weakness she wears, and faces the somber Soujiro and Shiori with her true self, her gaze so intense it overshadows their excitement and fervor.

On the other side, Skadi glanced silently at the scene outside the boundless universe, then lowered her eyes slightly and revealed a contented smile.

Leave the pioneering work to me. You can go and do whatever you want without having to think too much.

The divine incantation, which bestows blessings upon one's dearest friend and causes the central divine throne singularity to vibrate from small to large, pierces through the void of the immeasurable great world!

"[The mysteries of heaven and earth, we pay homage to the World-Honored One, and here we take refuge in the pure and extinct light of meditation!]"

From the shattered fragments of Nanami's body, an ominous and foreboding light formed a slender, graceful figure, from which a grand, heavenly chant was uttered.

It reaches the ears of the heavens above and descends to the netherworld below, interacting and communicating in a way that is utterly inconceivable.

Heaven, the terrible heaven, the horrifying heaven, the destructive heaven, has descended and appeared here.

"【——Om——】"

The seven beings formed from the radiance clasped their hands together, and the divine incantations and words uttered from their thin lips easily shattered this singularity and the surrounding multiverse.

"Ahem——!"

Even with precautions and countermeasures in place, Sojiro and Shiori still stained the multiverse with their blood, their supermassive divine blood directly annihilating hundreds of real universes.

The two were also blasted away by Nanami's indifferent and solemn divine incantation, which actually smashed through one multiverse after another. The distance they were blasted away was beyond description.

"[Such dharma is equal, without high or low, standing atop the three thousand worlds, untouched by desire.]"

"【Though I am entangled in the afflictions of fate and desires, I am free to roam the ten directions. May the Dharma of the Free Heaven manifest within me swiftly, enabling me to attain enlightenment.】"

"【I am afflicted with countless illnesses and afflictions, and I desire freedom to fly through the sky. May I swiftly manifest the form of the Great Lord of Liberation and take refuge in him, so that I may attain enlightenment.】"

It is said in the Surangama Sutra.

If any sentient beings desire physical freedom and the ability to roam freely in the ten directions, I will appear before them in the form of the Paranirmitavasavartin deity, and preach the Dharma of minimal desire, thus enabling them to fulfill their wishes.

If any sentient beings desire freedom of body and the ability to fly through the sky, I will appear before them in the form of Mahadeva, preach the Dharma to them, and fulfill their wishes.

These two phrases correspond to the Paranirmitavasavartin and the Mahavihara respectively.

The Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven resides at the top of the Desire Realm.

The beings in this heaven do not need to transform themselves; they can freely enjoy the pleasures manifested by other beings, hence the term "other-manifested." Furthermore, because the beings in this heaven have few desires and are not easily bound by them, they are very free.

The Great Free Heaven is the highest heaven in the Form Realm.

All beings "desire to be free and to travel in all directions," but this "ten directions" is a spatial concept and is not separate from "existence."

This "emptiness" is emptiness that is far removed from form.

By abandoning physical form and relying on the four formless realms, one enters the four formless heavens of the Formless Realm. Beings in the Formless Realm have no physical body; it is a spiritual world where only consciousness exists.

What are the seven real bodies tainted with afflictions, and what are the diseases of desire? It goes without saying that she has been suppressing them since birth.

They want to die, because they don't want to be bound by physical troubles and illnesses.

If you're not happy living, where does freedom come from?

Naturally, they also hope that all their troubles and illnesses will disappear, and that they can realize their self-worth and meaning through their already limited desires.

She hopes that her soul and body can be 'free' so that she can achieve her goals.

"【The Three Realms and Six Paths, the Desire to Reach the Six Heavens, the Eight Directions of Heaven Protecting the World and One of the Twelve Heavens】"

"【Through the power of this mantra, great transformations occur throughout the three thousand great chiliocosms, and all that is experienced and enjoyed is real and without falsehood.】"

His body had become completely materialized, and he walked barefoot toward the two who had been blasted away into the vast universe. Nanami's body was not imposing at this moment.

Because at this moment, her body was covered with fine cracks like those on ceramic, as if she might shatter and disappear at any moment.

However, countless fine auras continuously flowed from the cracks in Nanami's body, crushing the multiverse star bubbles beneath her feet with each step she took.

The footsteps created ripples, causing the starry sea, which represented the vast world at that moment, to boil violently like water being cooked, and then collapse and burst one by one.

"[Upon entering the Mahayana teachings, one attains great liberation and enlightenment, sits upon a great lotus flower, receives omniscience, and emits great light throughout the ten directions.]"

"【Om·Mahishvara·Mahishvara·Mohagala·Izanagi·Shankaraten!】"

"【Hum, Great Black Lord Saint, Anle Kalpa, Sun and Moon Kalpa, Golden Bowl Kalpa, Tomb Kalpa, Indra Kalpa, Treasure Kalpa!】"

The Mandala of Destruction opened, its pitch-black divine power, so dark it could ravage and pulverize a person's soul to nothingness, accompanied by Nanami's prayers and desires, which overflowed from her body in an extremely viscous manner.

Like a force that the body cannot restrain itself, a destructive divine power so vast and numerous that the body cannot contain it burst forth from the cracks on the surface of the seven entities.

Her divine voice possessed the power to shatter heaven and earth, spreading throughout the past, present, and future, even having a terrible impact on the ages of billions of years ago.

From the very beginning, like a fuse ignited by gunpowder, invisible superdimensional and supermassive fluctuations covered all dimensions of spacetime, beginning to crush them!

In an instant, the number of universes that were crushed and shattered by the single word "Seven Realities" was countless.

In an instant, under the Mercury Serpent's troubled gaze, the star sea of ​​the God Throne Territory began to experience a 'sea disaster,' with chaos raging and water and fire being born and destroyed.

Countless powerful beings in the vast universe were crushed by Nanami's divine power, howling, screaming, roaring in anger, and crying out in despair.

But in the end, without exception, they were all shattered to pieces. This scene was so shocking that countless viewers and the surviving creatures who could sense it were all terrified and broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.

They were all utterly terrified, watching in despair and silence as destruction descended upon their world, mercilessly and indiscriminately annihilating everything.

"[A gentle countenance, kind words, compassionate heart, skillful eyes, graceful demeanor, comfortable seat, and keen observation]"

"[With these seven offerings to Krishna, I take refuge in God, protector of Dharma and pure meditation]"

The divine incantations and words, accompanied by the ineffable, indescribable, inconceivable, and immeasurable dark divine power, poured out uncontrollably like a burst dam.

When heaven and earth were created, the pure air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air descended to become the earth.

Absolutely none! Absolutely none!

Nanami's desire was simple: to give it her all.

However, such a simple wish is almost impossible to fulfill in the world she speaks of.

There will only be one price to pay for her all-out effort.

That is death, self-collapse! Self-destruction! A fleeting, fading brilliance, like a momentary bloom of beauty.

Therefore, the ultimate phenomenon caused by her domineering divine power was somewhat unsatisfactory to what she desired.
