I'll kill you after I finish this game!

At this moment, Fujii Ren felt nothing or no feeling towards Rai Zhe.

But that's precisely why it's so bizarre.

She herself could not describe this feeling.

The indescribable feeling at this moment is like knowing the ocean, but when you enter the ocean, you can see the surrounding scenery, but you can't see the whole picture.

Humans know about the universe, can enter the universe, and observe the universe, but they cannot observe the entire universe as a whole.

But this doesn't refer to the other party.

Reiji felt that oxygen was like the oxygen that humans breathe, something necessary and essential for human beings.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death; spring, summer, autumn, and winter; day and night—these are just some of the essential concepts in the world.

He should exist; there's nothing strange about it.

Whether I need him or not, I feel that he won't be detrimental to me or cause me any harm.

"Manager, may I call you that?"

Looking at Rai Zhe, who looked exactly like her but whose demeanor was so different that she would be mistaken for a complete stranger, Fujii Ren frowned and asked:

"Skadi-senpai, is she just like me, and like him, right?"

"Me and him," "I" is Fujii Ren, and "he" is Mercury Serpent.

Fujii Ren was less interested in asking something and more interested in confirming something.

"That's right. Every life is born with its own destiny to fulfill, whether big or small. Do you care a lot about your background?"

Rei nodded calmly, confirming Fujii Ren's question.

His words were no exception, even to his own.

Their starting point was similar to that of Fujii Ren and Skadi, created by human beings and given a mission by human beings.

He accepted it as a matter of course, so he didn't care about it.

"...I don't care anymore. Whatever happens, the important thing is the future. After all, every life must move forward."

After a moment of silence, Fujii Ren felt relieved.

The questions she could think through, even without Mary's guidance, she probably would have already come to terms with and understood them herself.

However, in response to Fujii Ren's statement that "all life must move forward," Suigin and Raize showed different degrees of complex expressions.

We should indeed move forward, but on the fourth day everyone was returning to their old ways, and the Mercury Serpent's logic denied progress.

"Then you and I should move on. This place is too cramped. Let's find another spot."

Reinhardt didn't want to delay any longer. He took a step back, raised his hand, and pointed the Holy Lance at the sea.

Splash! ...

In an instant, a wide, unclosable road was opened up across the entire sea, and Reinhardt was the first to step forward.

Fujii Ren also understood that the final result would be found ahead on the road.

“Carl, Gray.”

Reinhardt had already turned his back to everyone and walked away alone. Without turning his head, he told his friend:

"I am very satisfied. The friendship I have shared with you all has been of extraordinary significance to me. I have fulfilled my wish to become a painter (domineering), experienced the unknown, given my all, and even—killed a god... but..."

After a moment of silence, a slight smile appeared on Reinhardt's lips, and a rare hint of reluctance also showed in his blazing golden eyes.

He regretted and lamented that it ended too quickly; only when he got here did he realize that he had missed something important.

The day of God's wrath is the day of final judgment.

It's a pity that Reinhardt missed that opportunity.

The glamorous yet malevolent light that cannot be loved is that of a person who hopes to be in the presence of the gods in heaven.

Reinhardt's greatest wishes are still largely unfulfilled... He both mocked himself and regretted the fact that he was blind to what was right under his nose.

And mercury and raffin...

"Please forgive me, I didn't want to argue with my friend."

Mercury Serpent shook its head helplessly, its back to Reinhardt as he left, without turning around to apologize.

"Even the best plays eventually come to an end, but for now... may your military prowess continue, Lord Reinhard."

This is a genuine blessing. Regardless of any so-called purpose, Raize and Suigin will not engage in any underhanded tactics in the battle between the other party and Fujii Ren. If they can win, they sincerely wish the other party a victory, and then they can start another round after the battle begins.

"Ah, farewell, my friend."

The two, going their separate ways, parted without saying another word, and Reinhardt's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Next up is Fujii Ren, who also has things she needs to do.

Or rather, it's time for her to carry out her mission.

The ensuing battle was truly between only two people.

"...Mary."

As Fujii Ren called her name, her beautiful and pure soul separated from her body and manifested here once more.

However, Mary's expression and eyes were not happy, and she looked preoccupied. Fujii Ren put his hands on his head and showed a rather... forced smile.

To smile more naturally, with a truly natural expression, Fujii Ren is putting in his best effort, both past and present.

Countless viewers felt a jolt in their hearts when they saw Fujii Ren's smile.

Countless people recalled the destiny of the domineering gods, but at this moment, Mary was no longer the god of seeking the truth; her inner self... had been revealed.

The reason Fujii Ren called her out was that he didn't want to take her to the final battlefield.

At this moment, she... was not driven by the belief that she had to win, but by a strong suicidal thought that she would take Reinhardt down with her even if it meant mutual destruction.

As for the rest of the people, as long as Mary is there, that's fine.

[Golden Fairy]: As expected... Fujii Ren ultimately made this choice at the last moment.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]: I feel terrible inside. I know it's necessary... but leaving Mary alone is cruel to her.

[Guest of the Hall of Rebirth]: But she had no choice but to do it. For her, who cherished and cared for those she wanted to be with forever even when time stopped, she couldn't make a choice that would betray their last wishes.

[Bishop of Destiny]: She herself was aware that she could not become the one who controlled the 'Seat', but she absolutely could not let Reinhard control the 'Seat' either.

【The Pure White Queen】: Ah... in a sense, it's very romantic. If Fujii Ren were a man... no, even if she were a woman, I would be fascinated by her. Knowing that her desires had no future, she gave that throne to Mary with honor, becoming the foundation herself. How sad—how powerful!

[Old Demon King]: If that's the case, Skadi is the same, too, it also paved the way for her to continue forward.

【Three Goddesses - Eagle Feather】: Just like sisters, they protected the younger sister who needed the most protection. After all, you can tell by looking at how Fujii Ren and Skadi named their Tai Chi, both of which are 'New World'.

[Goddess of Death]: Ha... indeed, time, stop—for of all things in the world, you are the most beautiful! This sentence is proof of love.

[Father of Ultra]: Although Fujii Ren Tai Chi is inherently vicious, his wish is very pure. He simply does not want to lose the beautiful moment, so he stops, so time stops. It is a domineering act to protect.

[Dark Lugiel]: This is her philosophy of stopping, not mine... Life should be... I...

[Ultraman Ginga]: Admit it, Lugiel, the desire of Ren Fujii is not to stop time. She wants to savor her beloved moments forever, the fleeting beauty of the scenery. Please freeze in time with your beautiful figure. This is the origin of this person. If you cannot protect what you love and only want to stop, then you have put the cart before the horse.

P.S.: The Fifth Day of Reincarnation is truly a dreamlike world. Speaking of reincarnation, let Yagyō reincarnate in *The Forbidden Incantation of the Holy Sword Master* during the Fifth Day era. Also... since the Thousand-Eyed Emperor could observe Narakuka, he could naturally also observe Reiji, who is Narakuka's enemy. I wonder what his evaluation would be when building the statue for the Lord of the Seats' shrine. The author hasn't fully grasped the existence of this group of family love yet...

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Absolute Conceit of the Self, the Absolute Prayer of the Other

From the beginning until now.

Fujii Ren went from an ordinary high school student to a domineering god who transcends the multiverse in less than half a year.

The opponent's achievements can be said to have been made under extremely strong pressure, and their power was obtained under the oppression of a terrible enemy.

From the very beginning of the war, when Fujii Ren looked back, he realized that he was now completely alone, except for Mary.

She would be more than willing to sacrifice herself for Mary.

Regardless of whether this was a mission she was given, as long as she doesn't regret her choice, then it's the right thing for her, and she doesn't need to be confused.

Now, at this very moment, she must finish what she needs to do last, clearing away all obstacles and dangers for Mary.

But at this moment, looking into Mary's eyes, Fujii Ren had a lot to say, but felt that there was no point in saying it.

"Lian, um, I..."

Mary, with a bad feeling, looked at Fujii Ren with some hesitation, wanting to say something.

"Trust me, Mary."

Unable to say anything more, Fujii Ren could only rely on these fragile words to try and give Mary a little peace of mind.

Without waiting for a reply, she looked at the other two people over Mary's shoulder; she no longer dared to look Mary in the eye directly.

At this moment, there was something she needed to confirm.

"How is Himuro-senpai doing now?"

Ren Fujii asked, noticing during her earlier battle with Reinhard that the Gold Altar had been knocked away.

That was on the birth canal leading to the Demon City of Valhalla. Because of Fujii Ren's obstruction, the cervix was not opened, and inside, Reinhard's army, which was expanding, was the mother.

Therefore, this could also be considered her fault.

As long as Himuro Reia's safety is not confirmed, she will proceed with hesitation towards the final outcome.

Fujii Ren should avoid that.

“She’s fine,” Rei said calmly, responding to Fujii Ren’s question. “It was Yzak who was destroyed.”

"..."

Fujii Ren remained silent, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a pang of sadness for the origins of Rei's bloodline, as seen in Yzak.

If the order were reversed, Yzak's fate would also be Himuro Reia's fate.

"She is currently in an unconscious coma. Due to the infinite cosmic puncture caused by your battle, she is now at the boundary between the new and old worlds. [If she does nothing, nothing will happen.]"

Mercury Serpent smiled and revealed Himuro Reia's current location. When she said at the end that nothing would come of doing nothing, her tone seemed to be hinting at something.

Fujii Ren was used to this. He used to mutter to himself about the guy's way of speaking. This ambiguous tone was the guy's habit, and as usual, it meant something that was possible.

"Um, Lian..."
