“Buzz!!!!”

The three sword energies shattered, and the moonlight that permeated between the two people completely illuminated the courtyard, like a romantic and dazzling fairyland on earth, but who could have imagined that the two people who seemed like a couple of gods were fighting a life-and-death battle.

“Buzz!!!!!!!!~”

Several sword energies collapsed and shattered. At this time, Kaguya Shinomiya could not help but bend her proud waist. Her hair, which was originally tied up, fell down. She coughed up blood with a low gasp.

At this time, the distance between the two was only about one meter.

Facing Albert who was walking towards her, there was no regret or hatred in Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes, but instead there was an increasing desire and... young love.

"You are mine...you can't be wrong..."

"Will not……"

With her delicate body trembling and almost exhausted, Kaguya Shinomiya stabbed Albert directly with the Moonlight Divine Sword in her hand.

Albert thrust the sword of Damocles towards the blade.

"Even if it is... no one can..."

"Take away..."

"you…………"

“Crack, crack, crack… bang, bang…”

The platinum sword blade easily shattered the moonlight blade, and the pure and clean fragments shattered between the two.

Piece by piece, step by step, as they exerted their body force, both of them kept getting closer to each other.

at last……

The pure white kimono was pierced, and Kaguya Shinomiya felt the biting coldness touching her skin, passing through her flesh and internal organs.

Blood dripped from the blade of the sword, but Kaguya Shinomiya hugged Albert tightly.

"My...you are mine..."

Chapter 71 Kaguya's Remaining Memories 1

Feeling Albert's warm body again, even though her body was pierced and death was approaching, Shinomiya Kaguya still had a smile on her face.

At least in this short life, at the last moment of her life, she could have, could feel the person she loved was by her side.

This was the second time she was so close to death. Compared with the endless emptiness before, at this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise and didn't... couldn't take you... to see the fireworks..."

"Ms. Shinomiya, this is the end of everything, and also a new beginning."

Albert felt the life slipping away from Kaguya Shinomiya in his arms, like a fragile flower slowly withering in the cold wind.

At the same time, he also sensed that the "divine power" that was entangled in the other party's soul and damaging his body all the time began to dissipate.

This was the perfect moment for Albert to absorb this power.

After retrieving the Sword of Damocles into his body, Albert helped Kaguya Shinomiya to his front, looked at her face which was as beautiful as Sleeping Beauty, and gave her a last kiss.

The cold, sweet blood slid into his mouth, and Albert felt the so-called "divine power".

Contact, absorb, analyze.

After taking this energy into his body, Albert analyzed the essence of its existence.

The so-called "divine power" is also a kind of psychic power, but it is different from the psychic power of ordinary creatures. It is more like a spiritual aggregate of a species.

In other words, the source of "divine power" is the common spiritual will of a group of people, which brings together their emotional energy in the sea of ​​souls to form an independent individual. That independent individual with his own will is the so-called "God" or some other similar existence.

The process of guiding spiritual energy to gather together is a long and difficult process. It is probably difficult to accomplish with ordinary spiritual will. Generally, it must be achieved through a firm spiritual will such as faith.

From this we can see that the so-called "God" that exists in this world is not some kind of natural existence, but is "artificially created", that is to say, it is man who created God, and the source of God's power is human faith.

The image and character of gods also come from the personalities that humans have created for them in their beliefs. Therefore, gods in different regions often have personalities that conform to local customs and practices, and the display of their power is more similar to the myths understood by local people.

But even so, as a spiritual entity, the faith and energy accumulated by God from its birth to the present is unimaginable to humans. It can be said that when God becomes God, the intensity of its spiritual power is fundamentally different from that of humans. Therefore, humans are theoretically unable to withstand the power of God.

The case of Kaguya Shinomiya was very special. Albert discovered that she should have died long ago.

According to the information gathered about Shinomiya Kaguya, as a sacrifice to the gods, Shinomiya Kaguya died due to the shattering of her soul the moment she completed the sacrifice. But in the end, for some unknown reason, the divine power attached to her soul and prevented the shattering process. Instead, she became a container of the divine power, which is, in a sense, the incarnation of God.

But similar to Albert's previous situation, or even worse, the incompatibility between the soul and the body will cause the weaker side to be harmed, just as Kaguya Shinomiya had shown before, the more the divine power in the soul is stimulated, the more serious the erosion of the body will be.

"I didn't expect to gain such an ability. Did it follow my thoughts?"

Albert was somewhat surprised at the racial abilities unlocked by absorbing divine power. When he looked at the already cold Kaguya Shinomiya in his arms, he had a bold idea.

……

It was a rare clear sky and starry night in my memory, but I had no interest in the young girl walking around in the dry landscape garden. Perhaps it was because she was the offspring of a wealthy family, the young girl exuded a maturity that did not belong to her age.

The girl stared blankly at the cloudless sky. The looming figures of the birds flying across the sky were exactly the contradictory yearnings in the viewer's heart.

"Miss, you are here."

The maid, who was about the same age as the girl, finally found her master.

"The master is already urging us, please..."

"Oh no, love, I understand, I just have some..."

"Miss……"

Seeing the girl's panic, the maid felt a little bit reluctant, but she was just a servant and could not decide anything. When she thought that she would never see her master, who was like a sister to her, again, she felt sore in the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, no need to say more, Ai, take good care of these children for me. I'll give you the camera later as well, as a token of my appreciation for all these years."

Hearing the girl's last words, the maid's head sank a little more.

"Small……"

Before she could say anything else, a slightly rough male voice sounded from behind them.

"Kaguya, so you've been hiding here. Father has been looking for you for a long time. Come here now, you ignorant person!"

He is a young man, the girl's second brother. He has always looked down on her because she is an illegitimate daughter.

Faced with the young man's humiliation, the girl was numb and did not refute at all, because it was meaningless. This was the norm in aristocratic families, and now she should face her own fate.

"Yes, my brother."

The girl nodded obediently and followed the young man.

“But is this really my destiny?”

"Why do I feel so miserable?"

Being forced to follow a path arranged by others made the girl feel as if she was torn in two.

The picture fades away in the rippling water, and everything is just a reflection of the lake under the moon, like a dream.

"…………………"

The sound of chanting, like the buzzing of mosquitoes, came from all directions. In the deep black well, the walls and the ground were carved with unrecognizable ancient characters.

Following the pale light, the girl saw the bright moon in the sky from the narrow well. This was her only sky at the moment.

Dressed in the shrine maiden costume used in the festival, the cold night air made the girl's thin body shiver, but she could only kneel there, kneeling in the middle of circles of scriptures, kneeling under the moonlight.

"Why are you here?"

"why me?"

“Why did all this have to happen?”

When people face death, even if they know the answers, there are still some questions they have to ask, ask themselves.

Along with the sound of chanting and the murmur of her heart, the moonlight above her head shone on the girl like frost and snow.

The girl didn't dare to open her eyes to look, she just felt it getting colder and colder, but her body couldn't move, and her soul seemed to be pulled out of her body.

"Om~"

In the darkness, a full moon rose, and the cold moonlight illuminated the water beneath our feet.

"This is where?"

The girl didn't know where she was, but she couldn't help but walk forward, towards the full moon.

Gradually, as she walked in, the girl saw a figure wearing a pure white kimono, standing quietly under the full moon, as if blending into the moonlight.

"You came……"

The girl heard some kind of voice, but couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, or even if it was a language she knew, but she could understand it.

"I am coming……"

The girl couldn't help but respond. After a brief silence, she opened her mouth but no sound came out.

"I don't want to die..."

“No one who comes here wants to die.”

"Each of them has their own reasons..."

"What's different about you?"

The voice expressed neither joy nor sorrow, but it left the girl speechless.

Chapter 72 Kaguya's Remaining Memories 2

In the silence, the girl had a feeling that her whole body was gradually disintegrating and collapsing. This was not an illusion but a real thing.

The girl's body, or rather her soul, began to dissipate and break into tiny pieces as she approached the bright moon.

"Then...I would like to offer you a deal."

Struggling, the girl stubbornly made her voice heard.

"trade?"

"interesting."

"For thousands of years, countless people have come before me. I have listened to their prayers, pleas, repentances, and curses, but no one has ever offered me a deal..."

"Because that's ridiculous."

"What bargaining chips do fragile mortals have in front of God?"

"I have it."

The girl responded while enduring the pain of her soul being torn apart.

"You need me to help you with something."

"No one but me would do this for you."

"How ridiculous! We have tens of millions of servants serving us. Why would we need the help of a sacrifice like you?"

"No, don't you realize that?"

"Those people, those who gave me to you, they have never been pious. Their service is only to satisfy their own desires, so they will never do anything that is detrimental to their own interests..."

"..."

This time it was the god's turn to fall silent. The girl's soul was still being decomposed, but the speed had slowed down.

"In this day and age, faith is long gone, and the energy that supports your existence should have also faded. Otherwise, how could a high and mighty god like you be willing to accept a sacrifice that only occurs once every twenty years?"

"You are called gods, but even if you possess great power, you are nothing but a creature struggling to survive like me... Then what makes us different?"

As she spoke, the girl felt as if the moonlight around her had turned into a physical blade, constantly penetrating into her body. Death was oppressing her spirit like a mountain.

Even though her body was already kneeling on the ground, she still insisted on finishing her words.

"..."

The girl felt that the silence lasted for a long time. When she felt that her soul had been broken to the limit, the god finally spoke again.

"So, sacrifice, do you have faith?"

"No."

A very straightforward answer.
