I created a foundation

A shrill scream filled with anxiety and fear erupted from Yang Nai's mouth not far away.

Before Yukino could even fully react to this sudden and fatal crisis, at the critical moment when her mind was almost at a standstill due to fear and despair.

Yang moved.

She didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even have time to think about any consequences.

The eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, who usually always wears an elegant and aloof mask, has now lost all the calmness and calculation on her face, leaving only the most primitive and purest sisterly love and the instinct to protect her younger sister.

She drove the dark red [Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor] and pushed the output power of the energy engine to the extreme in an instant, even making a sharp overload sound as if she could not bear the heavy burden.

The dark red light was like an arrow shot from a bow, forcibly cutting in between Yukino and the giant tail that was sweeping across at a speed that was almost self-destructive.

With all her strength, she slammed into Yukino's armor, shoving her aside.

And she herself was completely and thoroughly exposed to the terrifying attack of the giant tail that was like a natural disaster.

Time seems to be slowed down infinitely at this moment.

Yukino was pushed to the side by a huge force. She could feel the hard touch of her sister's armor and the unquestionable resolute power when she hit her.

She turned back subconsciously.

Then, she saw a scene that she would never forget.

"boom--!"

A terrifying roar that was enough to burst the eardrums and make the soul tremble suddenly exploded between the sea and the sky.

Yang Nona's dark red figure looked extremely small in front of the giant tail and was hit hard from the front.

Yukino could even see that the sturdy [Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor] twisted, deformed, and shattered like a fragile eggshell in the face of the overwhelming force.

The next moment, Yang No's figure, like a baseball hit by a golf club swung with full force, turned into an insignificant, rapidly dimming meteor, dragging broken armor fragments and a streak of blood, and was whipped towards the end of the distant skyline at a desperate speed.

Her figure became smaller and smaller and more and more blurred.

Finally, it completely disappeared at the junction of the dark and lightless sky and the ocean, which was stirred by the storm.

Life and death unknown.

Yukino stretched out her hand, trying in vain to grab something.

The storm is still roaring and the waves are still rolling.

But her world was dead silent.

Yukino stared blankly at the direction where her sister disappeared.

The surging scarlet and black sea water, like a huge mouth ready to devour its prey, swallowed up the last barrier in her life that tried to protect her.

My mind goes blank.

Time seems to freeze at this moment, yet seems to be infinitely stretched.

The anxious yet gentle look in Yang Nai's eyes when he finally pushed her away was frozen in her mind, like the sharpest carving knife, engraving it stroke by stroke into the depths of her soul.

She has always had complicated feelings towards her sister.

She hated her sister's ever-present desire for control, as if she were a work of art that needed to be carefully planned and perfectly placed.

She hated the smile on her sister's face that was always decent but seemed extremely hypocritical. Behind that smile seemed to hide countless calculations and deep meanings that she could not understand.

But deep down in her heart, she understood it.

Behind that almost twisted control, the sister is expressing her suffocatingly deep love in her own clumsy way.

But this love is too heavy and too depressing, making her want to escape.

until now.

When that figure stood in front of her without hesitation, using his flesh and blood to fight for her chance of survival, when that familiar voice, with a hint of teasing but extremely firm, sounded in her ears, telling her to "live on."

All the resentment, all the misunderstandings, and all the barriers collapsed in an instant.

It turned out that she never really understood her sister.

It turns out that beneath that seemingly indestructible cold disguise, there is a heart that is so passionate and pure.

"elder sister……"

An almost inaudible murmur escaped from Yukino's dry throat, carrying with it endless confusion and a regret that had just sprouted and was crushed.

Two lines of clear tears slid uncontrollably from her eyes, which always seemed cold and distant.

The hot tears fell on the deck soaked by sea water and were instantly blown away by the cold sea breeze, leaving no trace.

Like her sister's life.

The next second, extreme sadness was like a flood that broke through a dam, instantly destroying all her reason and restraint, and then it turned into a raging fire that was enough to burn the sky and boil the sea.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

Yukino looked up to the sky and let out a roar that was so uncontrollable and filled with boundless pain and extreme anger for the first time in her life.

The sound was shrill and sharp, piercing through the layers of rain and the howling sea breeze, and even drowned out the dull breathing of the sea kings.

Her long black hair danced wildly behind her head like a group of angry snakes.

The wild bloodline in her body that came from the ancient saber-toothed tiger, and the power of the Thunder Fruit that was deeply integrated with her soul, were completely stimulated unprecedentedly and without reservation under the impetus of her rage that almost burned herself out!

Boom!

A golden lightning bolt, so thick that it was frightening, fell from the sky without any warning and struck Yukino accurately.

But this time, the lightning did not cause any harm to her. Instead, it rushed into her limbs and bones like a wanderer who had found a home, and blended perfectly with her own strength.

Crackling!

Countless fine golden electric snakes slithered and exploded around her body, emitting a suffocating breath of destruction.

Her eyes were now completely replaced by the dazzling golden lightning. There was no trace of human emotion in them, only the most primitive and pure will to destruction.

Behind her, an extremely huge phantom of an ancient saber-toothed tiger, condensed from pure lightning energy, slowly emerged.

The saber-toothed tiger roared towards the sky, its silent roar shocked the sea and the sky. Its two huge fangs, as if made of gold, flashed with a cold light that could tear everything apart.

At this moment, Yukino's aura surged to an incredible level, and the power even made Lin Qing, who was far away, look sideways.

"My...sister..."

She lowered her head, her golden eyes fixed on the sea king not far away that was still emitting terrifying pressure. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, carrying the burning pain of blood and fire.

"Give it back to me!"

Before she finished her words, her entire body had transformed into a golden lightning that was difficult to capture with the naked eye, dragging a long afterimage. With a fearless and determined attitude, she rushed towards the terrifying beast that was like a moving island.

speed!

strength!

It was faster and more violent than any time before!

The sea kings seemed to have sensed the astonishing energy that suddenly erupted from this tiny ant, as well as its insane will to fight to the death. A glimmer of human confusion flashed in its huge single eye, and then it let out an even more angry roar. Its thick tentacles rolled up a huge wave and slammed hard at the tiny golden lightning.

Yukino didn't dodge or evade.

There was only the rage of revenge in her eyes.

"Thunder Beast Claw!"

The golden lightning gathered at her fingertips and transformed into several huge lightning claws that were more than ten meters long, which fiercely tore at the extremely tough skin of the sea king.

Tsk-!

A teeth-grinding tearing sound was heard.

The thick skin of the sea kings, which was strong enough to withstand artillery bombardments, was easily torn apart like fragile paper in front of the thunder claws that condensed endless anger.

From the wound so deep that the bone was visible, dark green and smelly blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Roar--!"

The intense pain made the sea king roar in agony. It swung its tentacles wildly, trying to crush the tiny creature that dared to hurt it.

Yukino's figure nimbly shuttled and dodged between countless tentacles, and every flash was accompanied by a series of dazzling lightning strikes.

Her attacks no longer had any rules or reservations, but were driven entirely by instinct and anger.

She put all her strength into every attack.

Every swing of the claws is carried with the determination to tear the enemy to pieces.

She even gave up most of her defenses, allowing some tiny tentacles to whip her body, causing blood to splatter.

But she didn't care.

At this moment, she could no longer feel any pain. She had only one thought in her mind: kill it! Avenge her sister!

At this moment, the invisible, icy barrier between the two sisters was completely shattered and melted by Yang Nai at the cost of her own "life".

Yukino had never felt as clearly as she did now, the unspeakable dependence and love she had for her sister that was buried deep in her heart.

I have never hated my own weakness and powerlessness as much as I do now.

If only she were stronger...

If only she could understand her sister's feelings earlier...

Do not!

No if!

Now, the only thing she could do was to use the life of this beast to comfort her sister's soul in heaven!

"Die! Die!"

She roared like a wild beast, and the shadows of the lightning saber-toothed tigers around her became more and more solid. Every pounce left shocking scars on the huge body of the sea king.

Lightning flashed everywhere and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Golden lightning and dark green blood intertwined in the storm to form a tragic and heroic picture.

Yukino's figure flashed wildly on the giant beast, and every attack was carried with the determination to destroy everything.

She was like a never-stopping golden meteor, using her burning life to plow a trail of death so deep that the bones could be seen on the huge body of the sea king.

The blade stopped half an inch and eight in front of the neck.
