Kamijou Daichi wasn't making excuses, nor was he emphasizing that his sins were due to circumstances. He genuinely just wanted to know what path the boy in front of him would take.

"I do not know."

Yuanxiang answered very frankly:

"If this happened to me, I really wouldn't know what to do next, but... since I'm not dead yet, what right do I have to make others die!"

"Mr. Gensho, where are you going?"

Seeing Yuanxiang about to leave, Sophia hurriedly called out. Although she didn't know what the boy was thinking, the murderous aura and malevolent energy surrounding him were truly unsettling.

"Are there many beings in your Sword of Truth who can be called 'adults'?"

Yuanxiang stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Sophia, the administrator of the Sword of Truth North District base, and said in a flat voice:

"Whether there are any other traitors or not, I'll ask them one by one. But before that, I need to prepare a little trick, a little trick to distinguish between truth and lies. Sophia, do you understand?"

"...I am available to answer your questions at any time."

Sophia had already sensed distrust from Genji. She knew very well that the young man before her was prepared to oppose the entire Sword of Truth. Looking at Genji, she couldn't help but advise him:

"There's no need to rush this. If I've already succeeded with your tricks, why don't you listen to my advice and calm down a bit?"

"I understand what you mean. You want to investigate slowly, right?"

Yuanxiang turned around, waved his hand, and said:

"It doesn't matter. You do your investigation, and I'll ask my questions. The two complement each other, which will prevent any from slipping through the net. See you later."

265 The Fate of Chaos

After leaving the North District base, Gengo returned to the agency. He retrieved a blank Gaia Memory from the basement, then turned and went through the door again to Tomoeda Town. Seeing Kinomoto Sakura about to leave with Daidouji Tomoyo, he called out:

"Sakura, wait a minute."

"Brother Yuanxiang, what brings you here?"

The sudden sound startled Sakura Kinomoto, who jumped back in surprise. After turning around and recognizing the person, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously:

"Has something fallen again?"

"No, I came to borrow a Clow Card from you."

Upon hearing "Clow Cards," Kero immediately flew out of his backpack, eager to hear Genji's next words:

"I remember you have a 'thelibra,' which has the magic to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right?"

"Ah, yes."

Sakura Kinomoto took out the Clow Card with the sun and moon printed on it from her pocket and handed it to Gengo, saying:

"Brother Gensou, can you also use the power of the Clow Cards?"

"I don't know either, I'm just trying it out. Sakura, if you don't have anything urgent, just wait for me here. It shouldn't take you long."

Gengo took the Clow Card, smiled at Sakura Kinomoto, and turned to walk into the deserted alley. He took a deep breath, holding the Clow Card in one hand and the blank Gaia Memory in the other. His hands began to become transparent, but immediately a resisting magic emanated from the Clow Card. Although it wouldn't hurt Gengo, the Clow Card clearly rejected his data assimilation and imitation. If he tried to force it, one of them would inevitably be in trouble.

As expected of Clow Reed's creation, it's unexpectedly powerful. Just how strong was that eye magician in his lifetime?

Looking at the scales (thelibra) in his hand, Gengo sighed regretfully, intending to return them to Kinomoto Sakura, and then go to his side to the library to see if he could conjure up a Gaia Memory related to 'honesty'.

Just then, Gensou suddenly felt something emerge behind him, but before he could react, a pair of hands reached out from behind and landed on the back of his hands:

"You can't treat the Clow Cards so roughly, my kids can't take this kind of treatment."

“Mr. Clow Reed, I didn’t expect this would actually draw you out.”

Even without turning around, Gensou recognized the person behind him and whispered:

"You weren't spying on me the whole time, were you?"

"I have no such intention. Besides, I'm already dead. The me in front of you doesn't have much power. Otherwise, I would have borrowed a little bit of the power of your memory containing the power of the moon. You can't see me now. Alright, concentrate and feel the flow of magic. Whether you can learn it or not depends on yourself."

Kuro Rido exerted a slight force with his palm, and then a strange magic circle appeared between the source and the blank memory. The color of the sunset gradually appeared on the blank memory, and the letter 'l' was imprinted on its surface.

"Be careful how often you use it."

After finishing his work, Clow Reed smiled and whispered to Gensou:

"Using memory as a medium can only hold a limited amount of magic power; once it's exhausted, it's exhausted."

"That's enough. Thank you, Clow Reed. I never expected to receive your help."

Gensou bowed slightly to thank Clow Reed, but Clow Reed stopped him, looking at the boy with a gentle smile from his levitating position.

"No need to thank me, you've worked hard too, but unfortunately this is all I can do to help you right now."

Noticing the look Genji gave him upon hearing this, Clow Reed smiled and said frankly:

“That’s right. After we parted last time, I tried to look into your past. I saw a densely woven thread of fate on you, and then I saw countless cycles of reincarnation. Gensou, this is not a good thing. Fate should not be so chaotic. Your seemingly endless cycle of time has left a terrible hidden danger. Even I can’t see through or understand that deep and chaotic fate. I know you are called the ‘trump card of fate,’ but isn’t fate also a curse? So, I have a little advice for you.”

Kuro pointed to Gensou's coat, from which the 'Joker' flew out:

"Give up this power. Without it, you might be able to break free from the shackles of 'fate'."

“Mr. Clow Reed, I appreciate your kindness.”

Gengo retrieved the 'joker', put it back in his coat, and said with a smile:

“'Joker' is my partner, my treasure, and I will never let go of him.”

"Then let's try our best to survive."

Kuro Rido seemed to have anticipated Gensou's answer, and said softly with a hint of helplessness:

"Once Sakura grows up, all the difficulties you face will be easily resolved. Haha, you underestimate that child. Although she is my successor, there is an old saying that the student surpasses the master."

"Will that child... have a bright future?"

Upon hearing this, Gensou seemed to be lost in thought, pondering as he asked Clow Reed, the deceased magician smiling and nodding softly:

"Although I haven't made any predictions here, isn't this kind of thing something you can imagine?"

"Hahaha....."

Hearing this, Gengo couldn't help but laugh happily. He put the 'Libra' memory into his pocket, waved at Clow Reed, and said:

"Okay, I have to go now. See you again when you have time."

Ah, until we meet again.

As 'Luna' moved away, Clow Reed's projection disappeared, and the magical barrier that had appeared was also dispelled. Genji returned to the street and saw Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji still waiting. He greeted them with a smile, handed the 'Thelibra' to Sakura Kinomoto, and said:

"Okay, it's all taken care of. Thank you, Sakura."

"You're welcome, Gensou-nii, it's just..."

Holding the scale, Sakura Kinomoto looked at Genjiro, who seemed about to leave, and asked worriedly:

"Are you going to fight some enemy this time?"

"No, I just went to ask someone a few questions."

'call out.'

Gengo answered instinctively, and as soon as he finished speaking, the Clow Card in Kinomoto Sakura's hand emitted a faint glow. Although the card couldn't speak, everyone understood what it meant.

"Um... there might be a battle, but that's a minor issue; I should be able to handle it."

Noticing the strange looks from Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji, Gengo coughed awkwardly and rubbed Sakura's head, saying:

"Don't worry too much. With 'Luna' here, no one can stop me from running away. So, Sakura, please, let's keep this a little secret between us."

"Cough cough!!"

At this moment, Tomoyo Daidouji coughed a few times, then glanced at Genji out of the corner of her eye, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the fact that he was only coaxing Sakura while leaving her aside. The boy, on the other hand, gave the girl a thumbs up and smiled brightly, saying:

"You're my sworn brother, even though we haven't officially become sworn brothers yet..."

"Ugh, really, you go ahead and do your thing!"

Daidoji Tomoyo gave Gengo a shove, and the boy, in a playful manner, shouted "Yes, sir!" to the two children before disappearing in a flash. It was clear that he was quite impatient, after all, with "Scale" and Daidoji Tomoyo present, this guy was really quite cowardly.

Now that the trick to distinguish between truth and falsehood has been obtained, the next step is to go to the Sword of Truth to see what's going on. However, after thinking about it, Gensou decided to use his power on the South District base first, since Sophia doesn't seem to be very strong.

"Mr. Gensho, you're back."

"Ah."

In the North District base, Gengo opened the door and responded to the greeting from Touma Kamiyama. Then he looked at Ryo Onoue and shifted his position. Everyone saw Gengo suddenly appear next to Ryo Onoue, and at the same time, a 'Gate of Books' appeared in his hand.

"If I open this, will I be able to go to the South Base?"

Yuanxiang weighed it in his hand. He had seen Shinzan Touma and the others use this before, so he had learned a little bit of it.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Gengo smiled at the swordsmen, including Onoue Ryo, and then with a lightning-fast chop, he immediately knocked out the earth swordsman. Then, 'Cyclone' flew out from the boy's coat, summoning sharp wind blades that launched a seemingly frightening attack on the surroundings, but without damaging the books or facilities. At the same time, the other swordsmen were also pushed against the wall by the gale, and they all suffered some injuries and looked quite disheveled.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. See you later."

After saying this, Gensou's figure disappeared into the Book Gate, which made the swordsmen of the North District Base complain inwardly. They had thought a lot about it during this time, wanting to have a proper talk with Gensou after he returned, instead of being so reckless. But as a result, he left again in a flash before they even had a chance to say a word.

However, Gensou encountered an unexpected guest. After passing through the Book Gate, he sensed something, looked back, and saw a ray of light floating out from the still-open 'door'. Then, Yuri, whom he had met in the Lost Land, materialized beside Gensou.

"You're even more of a doer than I imagined; I almost couldn't keep up with you."

"Yuri, you should know what I'm going to do next, right?"

Gensou raised an eyebrow in surprise, pulled Yuri away from the ordinary swordsmen patrolling the southern base, and asked in a low voice. The swordsman in the linen cloak replied in a frank tone:

"Of course, it is precisely because I know this that I came along. The Holy Sword exists to protect world peace, and I am also the sword that protects the world. So if there is a real traitor within the Sword of Truth, I cannot ignore it."

"I remember you were sealed away in the Lost Land, but why do you sound like you know so much about the Sword of Truth?"

During their stealth operation, Genji couldn't help but continue asking Yuri questions out of curiosity, and Yuri didn't hide anything, answering honestly:

“I don’t know the Sword of Truth, but I do know the founder of this organization. I believe in my old friend’s beliefs and style. If what he left behind goes wrong, it will be a real problem.”

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Genji looked at Yuri in astonishment. He had heard Sophia recount the origins of the Sword of Truth; this organization had existed for at least a thousand years. If what Yuri said was true, then wouldn't he be...?

"That's right, I have indeed lived for a long time. I was once a swordsman, the first user of the Dark Sword Moon Darkness and the Light Steel Sword Supreme Light. However, in order to prevent the Light Steel Sword Supreme Light from being used for evil purposes, I chose to sacrifice myself and merged with the Holy Sword, and was then sealed in the Lost Land, which is why I have been able to live until now."

Yuri made no attempt to hide anything and continued:
