My youth story cannot be a knight war

He stared through the broken car window at the enormous tower at the end of his field of vision, especially at the faintly flickering white light at its summit that reached the sky. He muttered to himself:

"Sakayanagi's coma, this flash that caused some new anomaly, and that golden book that appeared before my eyes during the crash... This series of anomalies should be distinct from the 'Ultimate Darkness' descending from the sky now. They are completely unrelated events."

"And the initial video, and the light curtain that followed... Sure enough, my guess was correct."

Ayanokouji gripped the steering wheel of the SUV tightly with both hands, an inorganic light flickering in his pupils. It was pure curiosity, a primitive emotion without any impurities.

"Someone is manipulating all this behind the scenes... Who could it be?"

……

"you--"

Looking at the man who stood up again, after the initial shock, uncontrollable joy rose in his heart. Zaimokuza tightly grasped the other's outstretched hand with both hands and was about to speak excitedly.

But at this moment, someone else interrupted what Zaimokuza was about to say. Excitement, joy, and that extreme high spirits permeated with materialized power, causing a storm that was created from the ground to sweep across the top of the entire tower.

But the whirlwind suddenly dissipated when it touched the two crouching Zaimokuza and Kousaka behind them, and an invisible force dissipated the impact of the storm.

“——KUUGA!!!”

Shouting the name and gazing at the back of the crouching figure in front of him, Daguba's expression was so happy that he was almost crying with joy.

The existence of the other two people was simply ignored by Him. At this moment, Daguba only had this figure in his eyes, only this destined enemy, and the entire world could no longer be seen.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

He said happily:

"I knew you would never fall like this. Not even death can restrain your will, my opponent!"

"Let's continue the fight, this time! We must fight to the bitter end with all our might!"

The pure golden Kibolon Magic Stone appeared at His waist. In the blooming golden light, the fallen angel who brought endless fear and despair to the world appeared again, with six pitch-black wings blooming.

But this time, He did not stop His actions.

His right hand suddenly stretched out towards the sky, the gesture was exactly the same as before, the palm was tightly aimed at the purple ring of fire in the sky that had stopped, and the scarlet light bloomed from Daguba's palm again.

As this ray of light bloomed, the evil fire ring, which had been stagnant due to the interference of an unknown force since a while ago, began to vibrate imperceptibly. A powerful force gathered and surged in the darkness at the center of the fire ring.

Although this force is insignificant compared to the entire size of darkness itself, its essence is ultimately a supreme power of a higher dimension, and it still has the power to shake the planet.

hum-

The Kibolon on his waist glowed with an evil light, and the red ripples blooming from his palms suddenly expanded. The powerful force formed an invisible traction, connecting to the boundless darkness that had now descended upon half of this world.

Under the pull of Daguba's power, the surging darkness finally broke through the obstruction of the invisible static force. In an instant, the black evil light passed through the vast distance of the universe, invaded the earth's atmosphere, and headed towards the dark tower created by the pull.

……

"Well……"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was half-kneeling, let out a muffled groan from the depths of his throat. He put his hand over his left chest, and a stream of black blood suddenly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the rubble-filled ground in front of him.

"Surprisingly... they were able to forcibly break through the blockade of the Time Vent."

Wiping the fishy blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Hikigaya raised his head, his eyes fixed on the falling black light in the sky.

"Is this power the energy of a higher dimension?"

……

boom--!!!!!!

The black evil light column fell straight down, enveloping Daguba's entire body. The six-winged figure was bathed in the dark heterogeneous light, undergoing a completely new transformation.

The feathers all over the wings turned into ashes and fell away under the impact of energy. The ugly flesh wings were fully exposed and flapped, and qualitative changes began to occur from the ends of the wings.

The texture of flesh and blood and blood vessels quickly became transparent in the black light, and then starting from the very end, pure black color spread upward along the trajectory of the wings. The six wings were soon completely covered by black, and the shape was floating and twisted, like a black tide.

The golden Kibolon also underwent the same transformation. The original pure gold was gradually coated with a layer of deep darkness, with golden light flashing in the darkness, turning into a gorgeous dark gold.

Daguba, who was once the ultimate life form that was above the entire natural order and had absolute suppression over all life systems in the entire food chain, under this circumstance, once again underwent a new transformation. His overall existence status was sublimated from "mortal" and stepped into the realm of God, becoming a "pseudo-god" with power comparable to that of God.

But in essence, this is just a name. Daguba has never been a god. Since he is a "false god", how can he be a real "god"?

What He did was like Satan usurping the crown and scepter of Jehovah. Even though He possessed authority and majesty comparable to that of the true Holy Father, He could not truly become the Lord of Hosts who reigns over the heavens and plains. Moreover, this personhood was incomplete and could only be a falsehood.

But this imperfection, at this moment, under the power of the "ultimate darkness", has been completely compensated and achieved true perfection.

After the evil light from the higher dimension completely dissipated, six dark wings surging like water opened up, and an indescribable sense of presence erupted from Daguba. The originally descending snow tide suddenly stopped its downward trend, and not even a single snowflake fell.

This is an unparalleled pressure, a double oppression of spirit and matter, declaring to the world that a being that completely transcends the realm of life has come to this world.

The "Kabbalah Tree of Life", which has long been famous in religious studies in Judaism, once said that life fell from the state of perfection due to original sin and suffered countless trials of suffering. To return to this state, one must reverse the path of the entire Tree of Life.

The entrance and exit of the Tree of Life are guarded by demons and angels respectively, which means that in order to enter the Tree of Life and return to eternal life, one must first overcome the temptation of the inner demon, and at the end one must make a final breakthrough and possess power that surpasses the "God (angel)" to succeed.

At this moment, Daguba achieved this feat by unrecognized pagan means, transcending the realm of the Angel of Destruction and achieving a status that was taboo to be recorded on the Tree of Life, possessing abilities comparable to those of a true "God".

But he is not a god, and he will never be a god, although the power he possesses has reached this standard. However, Daguba's actions determine his true nature and nature.

N-Daguba-Zeba·Man of Original Sin·Destroyer of the World

Just as Daguba said just now, this battle is an all-out effort and a fight to the death.

“——!”

Even with the obstruction, Zaimokuza still found it difficult to breathe at this moment. His heart felt as if it was being pinched by an icy claw, and was still slowly contracting and squeezing.

Another ray of light lit up, blocking the oppression and terror that was coming towards him.

The white-haired man turned his back to the Destroyer, whose true face was fully revealed, and stared at the young boy in front of him and the other person behind him, with a clear light flickering in the depths of his pupils.

"Thank you. Despite the circumstances, I'm really happy to see you during these final moments."

he said softly.

"This time, you will definitely be able to return to your own era... Just think of all this as a nightmare. When you wake up, everything will return to how it was before."

"and many more?"

Realizing something from the other party's words, Zaimokuza struggled to stand up, stretched out his hand and spoke.

“What do you want to do—!?”

A sudden burst of light interrupted Zaimokuza's words. His body, as well as Kousaka Kyosuke's body behind him, all flashed with warm white light. Zaimokuza couldn't help but look at the person in front of him who was raising his hand and smiling in astonishment.

"Go back, go back to those who are still with you."

A white glow flickered in his open palm. With his back to the surging darkness, the white-haired man looked at his past self and spoke with a smile.

"Remember the promise you made to grandma. You must write your own story."

"The me in the past."

"Wait--"

wow——

His pupils trembled slightly, and the face of the man in front of him was blurred in the blooming light. Zaimokuza stretched out his hand with all his strength, wanting to touch the man who was so close to him.

But the outstretched hands had turned into a collection of light, and the two boys who did not belong to this era turned into two rays of light, rushing towards the distant sky and sinking into the surging darkness.

"..."

Looking at the two beams of light swallowed by the darkness, Zaimokuza slowly lowered his raised hand without a trace of worry in his eyes.

He turned around silently and looked at his long-awaited enemy, the smile on his face completely gone.

There were no more extra words to say, as Zaimokuza stretched out his right hand and placed it on the gleaming Yamadam spirit stone.

"...henshin."

hum-

This time, the words he spoke were so light, and the light that flashed from the spirit stone was so brilliant and dazzling. A rainbow-like aurora burst out from the spirit stone, forming a rainbow whirlwind that surrounded Zaimokuza's figure.

The radiance that emanated this time came not only from Zaimokuza's own power, but also from the prayers of all living beings that spanned the entire world, from the distant past to the future.

This power, formed by the integration of all human beings in the world, made him evolve once again, far beyond any previous evolution.

The pitch-black figure of the warrior emerged in a vortex of iridescent light, and the ominous black faded from the surface of his armor, leaving behind pure and spotless white.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the pair of azure compound eyes. The golden stripes all over the body bloomed with rainbow brilliance as they rose and fell with her breathing, and the platinum skirt fluttered gently in the light.

This is a form that truly transcends the "ultimate" realm. With the blessing of the power of the prayers of countless sentient beings, Zaimokuza finally transcended the limits of life and reached another dimension.

And this source of power, which comes from the world and people, determines his character.

Empty Self, Transcendence, and Salvation

Six shimmering, transparent wings sprouted from behind him, and the wings danced, blowing away the faded iridescent light. The pure white warrior stood tall on the tower.

Colors like broken glass flickered on these six wings, which had a complex structure unique to insects. The surface of each wing was covered with intricate and primitive textures, trembling slightly with the wind.

When it was first born, it was pure white, and this color was dyed into darkness in the endless Shura battlefield. But until the very end, the true appearance of the warrior returned to the original brightness.

"When the darkness fades, the sacred spring is reborn, and the returning warriors reach the realm of the void."

The pure white savior faced the pitch-black destroyer, and the two different pairs of eyes stood facing each other.

The final battle of destiny has begun.

36. Zaimokuza Yoshiki said so (10K)

"here we go."

Yukinoshita Yukino clutched the collar of her school uniform with her right hand, her clear navy blue eyes watching the battle that was about to begin, and whispered.

"Now, the fate of the world rests in Zaimokuza-san's hands."

"Just keep watching, Yukinoshita."

Shizuka Hiratsuka placed her hands on her slender shoulders and spoke with a piercing gaze.

"He's your classmate, and also my student... No matter when Zaimokuza comes, it will always be him."

"Yihui...will they be okay?"

Zaimokuza's mother's heart was pounding. Ever since she saw the future "Zaimokuza" use his power to send the two people from the past into the darkness above the sky, her heartbeat had not dropped below two hundred beats per minute.

Even though they know that the person who did this would never harm them, mothers are the kind of creatures who become particularly sentimental when their children are involved. There is a kind of uneasiness called parental uneasiness, which exists for no reason.

"Don't worry, Auntie."

Ebina Hime stretched out her hands and cupped Zaimokuza's mother's other hand, saying with a smile.

"Yihui and the others will be fine. I believe in the future Yihui."

"Yihui...?"

A confused female voice sounded from inside the room behind the balcony. Hearing this voice, Yukinoshita's eyes moved and she immediately turned around to look.

"Yuigahama-san, are you awake...eh?"

Looking at the pink-haired girl who was still lying on the bed in a coma and had not yet regained consciousness, Yukinoshita was stunned.

"Was that just an auditory hallucination?"

"No, I heard it too. The sound came from the room."

Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned over to look, scanned the entire room, and tilted her head in confusion.

"Everyone is here. The only person in the room is Yuigahama, lying on the bed. Could she have been talking in her sleep?"

"No, no, that voice is——"

Just when everyone was puzzled by the voice, the expressions of Zaimokuza's father and Zaimokuza's mother suddenly changed. The couple looked at each other, and could see the emotions of disbelief and horror in each other's eyes.

"That voice... I can't be mistaken, that voice is——"

Zaimokuza's father opened his eyes wide and spoke with a trembling voice.

"That voice... is my mother's voice."

"—"

"Mom? Zaimokuza's grandmother? She's still at home, why doesn't the old lady come out?"

After hearing what Zaimokuza's father said, Yukinoshita and Ebina's expressions changed at the same time. Only Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't reacted yet and leaned her head into the room.

"Hmm? Yukinoshita."
