Mo Mo smiled even more brightly, and at the same time took the opportunity to call out the name Yuuka. Kazami Yuuka raised an eyebrow, clearly not used to it, but in order to tease Yakumo Yukari, Kazami Yuuka did not have any further objections.

"Humph!"

Yukari Yakumo snorted coldly, looked at Mo Mo, and said, "So what? So what if the two worlds are different? It's precisely because this world is different that I want to take them back even more, isn't it?"

Momo shook his finger and said, "You can't say that. If they were still considered people of Gensokyo, then you would naturally have an obligation to take them back. But now... can they still be considered people of Gensokyo?"

This time, Yukari Yakumo was genuinely surprised, her face full of confusion, not understanding what Mo Mo was trying to keep in suspense.

Mo Mo didn't keep everyone waiting. Instead, he pointed to several girls and said, "Fujiwara no Mokou is no longer from Hourai, but has become an ordinary person. Izayoi Sakuya is no longer a powerful person with the ability to stop time, but has also become an ordinary person. Kirisame Marisa is no longer a magician, but has also become an ordinary person."

“So what?” Yakumo Yukari frowned and said, “No matter what they become, their hometown is still Gensokyo!”

“I don’t deny that,” Momo’s eyes suddenly sharpened as he said, “Their homeland is indeed Gensokyo, but now they are in the afterlife!”

"They are people from the afterlife!"

Mo Mo's voice carried a hint of barely suppressed anger as he said, "I don't want to ask why they came to the afterlife. I doubt you would tell me anyway."

"I just want to ask you now, Yukari Yakumo, are you sure that people from the afterlife who enter Gensokyo can live a normal life?"

"The two worlds are completely different in composition and rules, and you must be very clear about that. Humans, who are entirely composed of data, would not instantly turn into a mass of data if they entered the real material world?"

"They are people of the afterlife, and only the afterlife can allow them to continue living a normal life."

"Unless your abilities are powerful enough to resist the rules of the world, otherwise..."

Mo Mo's eyes were like a pair of sharp knives as she said, "Yukari Yakumo, are you going to take them back to Gensokyo, or are you afraid that they will join me and make me know secrets I shouldn't know, so you forcibly take them back to Gensokyo, even disregarding their lives?"

Mo Mo's words sent a chill down everyone's spine, especially Konno Yuuki, whose initial confusion instantly turned into hostility and murderous intent. She had already gripped the hilt of her one-handed sword, ready to strike at any moment.

Just now, Konno Yuuki hadn't realized what Yakumo Yukari was doing. Now that she thought about it, if Konno Yuuki had really let Yakumo Yukari use her abilities to take the girls away, it probably wouldn't have been a happy ending for them!

This is a problem with rules, and such a problem is definitely not something that Yukari Yakumo can solve right now.

Otherwise, Yukari Yakumo, who had just made a hasty appearance, wouldn't have used such difficult methods to utilize her abilities.

The ability to create gaps is something she can rely on instinct, yet she has such difficulty even tearing open gaps in this world. How could she possibly use the power of her realm to ensure the safety of the three girls, Fujiwara no Mokou, Izayoi Sakuya, and Kirisame Marisa?

If Mo Mo hadn't appeared in time, Konno Yuuki felt that her lack of vigilance might have led to her being directly attacked by Yakumo Yukari!

Damn it... how could they be so lax?

Was it because of Kazami Yuuka's attitude that he lowered his guard?

No… Konno Yuuki knew the reason. She breathed calmly, suppressing all thoughts in her mind. At this moment, she wanted to become a sword, the sword in Mo Mo's hand, and no longer a person.

Konno Yuuki's change instantly gave Yakumo Yukari a chill down her spine. She squinted at Konno Yuuki as he reached for his sword, instinctively sensing his immense power.

With all her stats exceeding B, Konno Yuuki, combined with her powerful innate skills, could definitely threaten Yakumo Yukari's life. Of course, that's assuming Konno Yuuki can actually hit Yakumo Yukari.

The scene fell silent instantly, even carrying a chill. Mo Mo scrutinized Yakumo Yukari, awaiting her answer.

Momo hoped he was mistaken, because if that was the case, then Yakumo Yukari wasn't acting maliciously, which meant that his relationship with Yakumo Yukari wasn't so bad, and it also reflected that Hakurei Reimu's situation in Gensokyo wasn't so bad.

As long as Yukari Yakumo proves that she is indeed capable of ensuring that the three girls will not be harmed by the changes in the world's rules, then Momo would not mind apologizing for her words and actions.

However, Yukari Yakumo was destined to disappoint Momo.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said casually, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“Aren’t you, me, and Yuuka Kazami, who are here, not natives of this world? We can live well here, so why can’t they return to Gensokyo?”

Mo Mo smiled slightly, a very friendly smile, but her eyes held an undeniable determination.

"Get started, Yuki."

101 is an enemy, not a friend.

Yukari Yakumo is an enemy.

At this moment, Mo Mo had already made his judgment.

This judgment is not difficult to make. First of all, Reimu's condition is a good basis for judgment.

Reimu Hakurei's condition is terrible; thanks to Alaya's help, her condition is reflected in the hairband she left for Momo.

The once vibrant red hair ribbon, and the bow it formed, have been largely dyed black. And this ominous black color is slowly spreading throughout the area.

This indicates that Reimu Hakurei's condition is not only bad, but is also deteriorating.

Furthermore, Alaya specifically instructed Momo to come to Gensokyo, which means that Reimu Hakurei is indeed in Gensokyo.

In other words, Reimu Hakurei's condition, which was already in a bad state, continued to deteriorate in Gensokyo.

Given this premise, the most likely conclusion Momo could draw is that Reimu Hakurei was injured in a battle with someone, and that Gensokyo was unable to treat the injury, which is why her condition continued to deteriorate.

If that's the case, then Momo must hurry, not only to see Reimu Hakurei as soon as possible, but also to save her.

Under the same premise, even if Yukari Yakumo isn't Momo's friend, she certainly won't be Momo's enemy. Although Momo stole Reimu Hakurei, Momo will bring powerful assistance, enough to help Yukari Yakumo resist many powerful enemies.

At this point, the Hall of Heroes already possessed a powerful war force, along with the scientific angel Kazezaki no Hikaru, a formidable weapon, making its strength not to be underestimated.

Unfortunately, upon arriving in Gensokyo, Momo mistakenly entered the afterlife and discovered that reality might not be as wonderful as she had imagined.

Yes, Reimu Hakurei is seriously injured, and Gensokyo is on the verge of collapse. In Momo's eyes, this is already a beautiful fantasy.

Through the scattered information and insights gained from several girls, Momo felt that Gensokyo was not just facing external enemies, but also internal and external troubles, and even many irreconcilable conflicts and problems.

One of the most likely problems is the conflict between Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo.

In Momo's view, this is very likely to happen.

Especially when Momo learned that Reimu Hakurei had returned to Gensokyo and, instead of obediently waiting for Momo's arrival as a shrine maiden, had directly announced to everyone that she would no longer be the Hakurei Shrine Maiden but would become Momo's wife, Momo knew that Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo had definitely fallen out.

For Yukari Yakumo, Reimu Hakurei was indeed special and important, but for Yukari Yakumo, Gensokyo was the most important place. And the person important to Gensokyo wasn't Reimu Hakurei, but rather the Hakurei Shrine Maiden named Reimu Hakurei.

Gensokyo has two barriers. One barrier is set up by Yukari Yakumo herself, which separates the two worlds by setting up the inner world of Gensokyo as the phantom world and the outer world as the physical world.

The other barrier was set up and controlled by the Hakurei Shrine Maiden of that time. The so-called Hakurei Great Barrier was a barrier of common sense, distinguishing between the common sense and the uncommon sense of the outside world and Gensokyo.

The common sense of the outside world is the uncommon sense of Gensokyo, and the uncommon sense of the outside world is the common sense of Gensokyo. This is not something in a physical sense, but a barrier in an ethical sense, and this barrier is extremely powerful, so much so that even youkai cannot easily pass through it.

These two barriers constitute the independent Gensokyo, and therefore both barriers are indispensable to Gensokyo.

Especially now, Gensokyo has inexplicably fallen into the afterlife. In this world with completely different laws, if it weren't for Yukari Yakumo's control over the illusory world separating the real world from the illusory world, and if it weren't for Reimu Hakurei's Great Barrier separating common sense and non-common sense, Gensokyo would probably have collapsed in an instant, right?

Under such circumstances, Reimu Hakurei's insistence on marrying Momo and giving up being the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is something that Yukari Yakumo would absolutely find unacceptable.

Of course, Mo Mo didn't think that Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu would turn on each other over such a matter. Yakumo Yukari could distinguish between what was important and what wasn't, and had a strong sense of the big picture and good judgment about the world. Hakurei Reimu was also a responsible and good girl, and certainly wouldn't just abandon her responsibilities.

However, since Reimu Hakurei is going to marry Momo and has even taken it upon herself to change her surname to Momo, it's absolutely inevitable that she will leave Gensokyo and cease managing the Hakurei Barrier. Therefore, unless Yukari Yakumo finds a successor for Reimu Hakurei, Reimu Hakurei and Yukari Yakumo will have an absolutely irreconcilable conflict because of Momo.

In particular, if Reimu Hakurei suffers a terrible injury that the entire Gensokyo cannot treat for some reason, and the injury continues to worsen with no hope of recovery, and if Yukari Yakumo is unable to find, or if she finds, is unable to cultivate a girl like Reimu who can live up to the name of the Hakurei Witch in a short period of time, this contradiction will completely erupt.

After all... what Yakumo Yukari needs is the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, not Hakurei Reimu.

Mo Mo didn't know what Reimu Hakurei's current situation was, but he had already sensed danger from Yukari Yakumo's actions just now.

Yukari Yakumo... She's in danger right now, but not in the same way as Yuuka Kazami, whose life is in danger. After all, Yukari Yakumo wouldn't turn someone into pieces and use them as fertilizer over a small problem.

At this point, Yukari Yakumo had clearly grasped her own purpose and was resorting to extreme measures, sacrificing things she deemed worthwhile. She didn't even consider the consequences of these measures or whether the original inhabitants of Gensokyo would accept them; everything was solely for the sake of preserving Gensokyo's present and future.

Just now, Yukari Yakumo's final explanation wasn't an explanation at all. Using herself, Yuuka Kazami, and Momo as examples was nothing more than an excuse.

The reason Momo could act normally in the afterlife was because the Hall of Heroes blessed the Heroic Spirits who descended to this other world, ensuring that they were not restricted by the world's laws. As for Kazami Yuuka and Yakumo Yukari, they were simply using their immense power to resist the suppression of the world's laws.

All of this cannot be used as evidence to guarantee that the three girls entering Gensokyo will not turn into a data collapse.

All of this clearly demonstrates that Yukari Yakumo has not figured out how to deal with the life-threatening situation that the different worlds pose to Fujiwara no Mokou and the other two girls. All Yukari wants to do is to get them away from Momo as quickly as possible to prevent him from obtaining any useful information from them.

As for what the three girls will ultimately face, Yukari Yakumo clearly doesn't know, and no longer cares.

All she cared about was preventing Momo from entering Gensokyo.

All of this was unacceptable to Momo.

Mo Mo found it unacceptable that Yukari Yakumo disregarded the girl's life and refused and guarded against her.

This is also the fundamental reason why Momo ordered Konno Yuuki to take action, because in Yakumo Yukari's eyes, Momo has become her enemy.

The reason she considered Momo an enemy was, in Momo's view, only one thing remained—once Momo entered Gensokyo and learned about Reimu Hakurei, she would consider Yukari Yakumo an enemy!

In addition, Mo Mo's strength was so great that it made Kazami Yuuka willingly become a prisoner, which made Yakumo Yukari have to be on guard!

She couldn't directly wage war against Momo, nor could she allow Momo to enter Gensokyo. So what Yukari Yakumo did was to remove all sources around Momo that could provide her with information about Gensokyo, while simultaneously preventing Momo from entering Gensokyo. This was the fundamental reason behind everything she had just done.

Mo Mo saw through everything in an instant. Although he still had regrets, for the sake of the girls around him and to see Reimu Hakurei as soon as possible, Mo Mo had no choice but to treat Yukari Yakumo, who already regarded him as an enemy, as an enemy as well.

"Shh!"

Sensing the danger, she put aside her idle thoughts and completely transformed into Konno Yuuki, instantly becoming one with her sword and appearing in front of Yakumo Yukari.

This sword strike was an ordinary strike by Konno Yuuki, yet it was also a strike delivered with all his might.

A dense quantum light erupted from Konno Yuuki's body. With the blessing of the Hall of Heroes, she, possessing a normal quantum body, unleashed all her power without hesitation.

All her attributes surged to B, and her speed attribute, due to Konno Yuuki's use of full physical drive, increased a thousandfold, reaching a terrifying A++. Even her thoughts accelerated a thousandfold, and were still increasing, all for the sake of hitting Yakumo Yukari with this sword.

This sword strike can only be described with the word "light".

Facing Yakumo Yukari, Konno Yuuki unleashed her full power and exercised absolute caution. She was confronting Yakumo Yukari, a youkai sage possessing the power of gaps and boundaries—both of which were among the most difficult to deal with.

What Konno Yuuki can rely on is the powerful attack force brought by her inherent skills. Once Yakumo Yukari is caught by her, with the powerful enhancement of her Absolute Sword skill, Konno Yuuki believes that even if Yakumo Yukari is an incredibly powerful youkai, Konno Yuuki can still cut her down with her sword!

However, Konno Yuuki's sword was destined to miss Yakumo Yukari.

Yukari Yakumo's strength doesn't stem from her powerful direct combat abilities like Yuuka Kazami. Her strength lies in her bizarre, even heaven-defying, abilities that point directly to the root and the laws of nature.

Konno Mokuyuki's sword was already pointed at Yakumo Yukari's nose, and if it were just a millimeter closer, it would hit Yakumo Yukari.

However, that one millimeter became an insurmountable barrier. In Konno Mokuki's eyes, that one millimeter distance kept expanding until it became a distance as vast as the sky.

By the time Konno Yuuki realized what was happening, there was no one in front of her.

In everyone's eyes, Konno Yuuki, who had become one with the sword and transformed into light, suddenly changed direction, shooting into the distance like a beam of light that had taken a turn.

As for Yakumo Yukari, she remained motionless and uttered not a word from beginning to end.

102 Failed Attack

Aside from Momo and Kazami Yuuka, who were familiar with Yakumo Yukari's abilities, no one else knew what had happened. In their view, it was clear that Konno Yuuki herself had changed the direction of her attack.

After all, Yukari Yakumo didn't do anything!
