But when she tried to reach out to grab the remote, Zack reacted faster than her.

Before Nishikino Maki could throw the remote control away, a crisp "beep" sound had already reached the ears of the three people present.

Qi Wen Jiedou's expression changed immediately, and his eyes subconsciously looked at the transformer box behind him. However, seeing that the bomb had been activated, Nishikino Maki's reaction was obviously more intense.

Without any time to think, Nishikino Maki let go of Zack and ran towards the Qiwen Jiedou while taking out her own lock seed.

"Kaito!?"

"boom--"

The girl's hoarse roar and the explosion sounded at the same time. The spurting flames engulfed almost half of the rooftop space. The light and heat took away everyone's vision in an instant.

Blown away by the blast, Zack rolled awkwardly on the ground for several times until he hit the wall of the stairwell behind him and barely stopped.

But he didn't care about the pain in his body at all, and his first reaction was to look up to confirm the situation at the scene.

Amid the flying flames and smoke, a charred figure flew out backwards and fell from the roof with the sound of breaking metal.

The moment he saw that figure, Zack's heart sank.

The bright pink mixed in with the mottled burnt black obviously did not match any of the forms of the Qiwen Jiedou that he had in mind.

"Oops……"

Turning his gaze stiffly to the edge of the explosion, Qi Wen Jie Dou, who was filled with shock and anger, climbed up from the ground. There were indeed many wounds of varying sizes on his body, but because of someone's protection, he was not seriously injured.

"Zack, you bastard!!!"

His golden pupils were filled with disbelief, whether it was due to Zack's methods or to Nishikino Maki's selfless rescue.

Zack no longer had the energy to think about this, and now only Qiwen Jiedou himself knew the answer to this question.

He just followed Qi Wen Jie Dou to stand up from the ground and took out his lock without any hesitation.

"Even so, I must stop you, stop fighting!!!"

The two sides rushed towards each other, and the Banana Spear and the Nutcracker met. 】

Ji Guanqiang: Ah?

Long-term vegetarian: This, this is really unexpected. The atmosphere between the two has been built up to this point, but in the end, Maki is the first to die?

The Almighty: Uh, so what? Unexpected, but reasonable?

Ural Silver Wolf: What's going on? Why is it that when these people gamble their lives, it's always others who die in the end?

Uncle Xing: Are you thinking about me?

Director of Nishikino General Hospital: No! Maki! How could this happen?

Cancer of the Earth: Her first reaction was to help Ao Jiao block the explosion. I have to admit that Sister Taozi really loves Ao Jiao.

God of Strategy: Wow, I thought that after Ao Jiao’s “I want them all” speech, Minami Kotori was already invincible, but Nishikino actually came up with this trick, which is quite something.

Kashiwagi Eri: Indeed, it was very exciting.

Pink Dumpling: It’s over, with the dead wife buff, Xiaoqi is definitely dead now.

Silver Wolf: What a pitiful Chief! I thought only his best friend would die, but it turns out that Maki, the only follower and person who understands him, also died.

Pure Love War God: As expected, the path chosen by Qi Wen Jie Dou ultimately leads to endless loneliness.

Partner of Justice: Tsk, another idiot who won’t turn back until he hits the wall.

Chaos Evil Gudako: Alas, with Ao Jiao's personality, even if he hits a wall, he won't regret it. He will only think that he is still not strong enough.

Sessile Bird: What an idiot...

EMT: Why is it like this? Everyone cares about each other, and everyone is in so much pain, but they still keep fighting each other...

[“I have something I want to protect, Jiedou!”

His fists and the knight's spear kept interweaving, and each of Zack's punches was heavier than the previous one, accompanied by the latter's firm and painful roar.

"Even if I have to sacrifice my dignity and everything I have, I will defeat you here!"

"bass--"

The attacks from both of them landed on each other at the same time. Through the impact of the punch, Kaito seemed to see Zack's tears hidden behind the mask and the wall of his heart at that moment.

"Really? Have you made such a decision, Zack?"

The anger was still burning, but what Qu Wen Jie Dou felt more at this moment was the anger directed at himself.

Because she was aware of herself, she underestimated the awareness of others. In the end, it was Maki Nishikino who had to pay for her own stupidity. Just as Zack said, she still hadn't changed.

——Why is it still weak, Quwen Jiedou? In comparison...

Gently placing his hand on Zack's shoulder, Qiwen Jiedou gave him a final evaluation while pushing the other person away.

"You've gotten a lot stronger, Zack. Both physically and mentally."

"!?"

He took several steps back to remove the power of the Qiwen Jiedou. When he heard the latter's voice, Nakel's face under the mask finally collapsed. Biting his lips tightly, Zack roared out his best friend's name and slammed the Cutting Blade with all his strength.

As a sign of respect for this final blow, Qi Wen Jie Dou also launched a fatal blow.

"Kurumi Au Lait!"

"Banana Squash!"

The golden energy created a banana projection on the spear. Qiwen Jiedou swung his weapon continuously to smash the oncoming energy walnuts and stabbed Zack in the abdomen with a sharp shot.

In the explosion of the driver, Zack disintegrated and fell to the ground. His bloody right foot directly deprived him of the ability to move. He could only watch silently as the Drive Pattern Ring Fighter approached and put the sharp spear against his throat.

However, Zack no longer had any intention of struggling.

He lay on the ground resignedly, and uttered his last words as if he was saying goodbye.

"I'm sorry, Jiedou."

"Why apologize?"

"Because I couldn't kill you. When I think about how this painful battle will fill your entire life, I am such a failure as your friend..."

"It doesn't matter."

Qi Wen Jie Dou calmly raised his spear, and no sadness or joy could be heard under Baron's mask.

"I'm used to enduring pain."

"Really? Please don't be patient with me..."

With a final look of helplessness, the Banana Spear fell rapidly under Zack's gaze.

Here his consciousness fell into darkness.

……

The audience is feeling sad about Zack's demise, but the plot doesn't give them any chance to breathe.

The perspective switched again, and the alone Qiwen Jiedou quietly approached Nishikino Maki.

The red-haired girl lay quietly on the ground, looking spotless like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

But no matter how pure and flawless her appearance was at the moment, that weak vitality was so fragile that it would be shattered at the slightest touch in the eyes of the overlord, Qu Wen Jie Dou.

Having endured at close range a bomb specially prepared for the overlord, and having fallen from such a great height, even with the protection of armor, the girl's body was already beyond repair.

Qu Wen Jie Dou looked at her calmly and wanted to reach out to touch her face, but at the last moment he stopped in mid-air and couldn't let go.

The silence lasted for a long time, until the girl seemed to sense someone approaching and slowly opened her eyes with her long eyelashes fluttering.

The moment she saw Qu Wen Jie Dou, a gorgeous smile appeared on the girl's pale face, which made Qu Wen Jie Dou dazed for a moment.

"As expected, you will not lose. You are worthy of being my king..."

She spoke softly, and even with such brief words, it seemed as if the girl had used up all her strength to say them.

Qi Wen Jiedou frowned slightly. He wanted the other party to calm down and heal his wounds, but the last words he said turned into a question.

"Aren't you going to witness my end?"

But even when being questioned, the smile on the girl's face did not diminish at all, but became even brighter.

"Yeah, what a pity..."

Tilting her head slightly, the girl took the initiative to put her cheek against the suspended hand of the Qiwen Jiedou.

The cold and the heat intertwined with each other, and the touch seemed to make her feel better, but her still pale face told everyone that it was just an illusion.

As a result, Qu Wen Jie Dou finally let go of his last bit of reserve, reached out and gently picked up the other person, letting her lean on his arms.

Burying her face in the man's arms, Nishikino Maki asked in a somewhat muffled tone.

"Hey, if I were the one holding the golden fruit, would you want to get me, Kaito?"

For the first time, Qi Wen Jie Dou's always unwavering expression began to relax. His shoulders trembled slightly, and after a pause that was so short that it was almost imperceptible, he spoke.

"Maki is Kimi, and the Golden Fruit is the Golden Fruit."

"Ha~"

The girl's soft laughter came from her arms. Even though the Qiwen Jiedou was well hidden, she still keenly captured the trembling at that moment.

As long as there is this moment, Nishikino Maki is already very satisfied.

"What a clumsy man..."

——But, it is precisely because this guy is like this that I...

Without saying what was in her heart, Nishikino Maki closed her eyes forever with a satisfied smile.

Feeling the body temperature slowly ebbing away in my arms, it was like a drop of crystal sliding down the man's expressionless face.

Zack, exit.

Nishikino Maki, died.

At this moment, Qu Wen Jie Dou was truly alone.

As time passed, on the streets of Zeya City, the vast army of aliens began their march.

Kimon Kaito, who had just buried Nishikino Maki, walked silently at the front of the team. On his arm, which no longer needed any bandages, a plain handkerchief was fluttering in the wind.

Everything is about to come to an end. Following the guidance of his heart, he will head to the battlefield where his fate will be decided. 】
