Heres the chapter. Enjoy~

Part 2

The masked man looked at us and squinted but then turned to Stella.

Its strange, isnt it? To think that the creatures of this world would side with you

Who on earth are you?

Meiko and I each took an alert position.

Then.

What is it, Veda?

!?

Yin-sama

Following the masked manVeda, a muscular man with a bald head suddenly appeared.

He was dressed like a human in appearance but I knew it when I saw him.

This bald manYin, was not normal.

Even though there was no sign of him until he appeared, the moment this man named Yin appeared, I felt such a strong pressure that this Between World seemed to creak.

Is this guy the enemy my other self was talking about?

I raised my guard to the maximum and pointed my Omni-Sword at the man named Yin.

Yin looked at us and widened his eyes slightly.

Oh? I didnt expect you to come to us and from your appearance it seems that you also possess a considerable Power of Existence.'

What do you mean?

I asked, and Yins brow furrowed.

Did you set foot in this place without even knowing what it was? You fool Well, thats okay. It would be better if it were easier for us to conquer your world.

What?

This is the Between World. This is the world where those who have been denied existence by the world because of the sheer magnitude of their existence. Therefore, those who do not have a certain Power of Existence cannot sustain themselves in this space. And the size of that Power of Existence is directly related to the strength in this space In other words, you already have the Power of Existence that can even take over the world.

This was exactly what Kuro expected.

Then, Yins face twisted uncomfortably.

It is unforgivable. How can you still be accepted by the world when you have so much Power of Existence Its unpleasant.

Wha!?

At that moment, most of the bubbles floating around the world burst and disappeared!

The world!

The world? Oh, the floating ones. They were mine to begin with.

What?

Your world is all that is left of the Between Worlds. I took over and absorbed all the others. This space became too desolate. So I made fake ones and floated them around just for fun.

Yin spoke as if he were redecorating a room.

But in the process, many worlds were absorbed and disappeared.

The world where the other me lived was also taken

Why are you doing this?

I shouted, unable to stand it any longer, and Yin turned his sharp gaze on me.

Why, you ask? Do you, who are accepted by the world, understand how we feel?

!

Do you think you can understand the feelings of those who have been rejected by the world simply because they are alive? You do not understand. You are someone who received the worlds grace. In this land where even the concept of time does not exist, our feelings of longing for the existence of the world are!

Yin shouted with all the hatred he could muster.

Then Yin suddenly laughed.

Thats what I was thinking. If it doesnt exist, I will create it. But creating a world requires an enormous amount of energy. And what I want to create is a world we can live in It cannot be created with half-hearted energy. So I decided to use it. The energy of your world.

What did you say?

What is the problem? Youre just consuming the worlds energy and not giving it back to anything. All you are doing is foolishly consuming the resources of a world until they run out. You are just clinging to the grace of the world, and you have no productivity. Therefore, I will use them to create an ideal world for us to live in.

It was an insane statement.

No matter how much I begged him, this man would not stop.

Then Yin turned his sharp gaze back to us.

Well, Im done talking. By defeating you here and making you our pawn, we will soon conquer your world as well.

I wont let that happen!

I used the Holy Evil Creation and the Magic Armor, instantly closing the distance between me and Yin.

Oh? Is there such power too!

What?

But before my attack could reach him, Yin disappeared as if melting into this space.

At the same time, Veda stood before me.

I offer you to my lord.

I wont let you! Spirit Chain!

Meiko released chains of spiritual power from her hands, and they immediately entwined themselves around Vedas limbs.

I see; this is the power that that pawn also used. But

Veda broke the chains of spiritual power with a slight movement of his limbs.

It doesnt seem to be as skillful as that pawn. Its really fragile

Meowwwww!

Mm!

Then, as if Stella had disappeared into space just like Yin, she suddenly appeared near Veda and mowed down Vedas body with her claws.

Veda could not dodge the attack and raised his arms in defense, but his arms were slashed wide open.

Kuh you are rejected ones just like us, why are you siding with them!

Hissssss!

Veda shouted, but Stella showed no sign of concern and continued her attack.

Dont forget me.

Meow!

Stella!

But when Yin, who had disappeared, appeared to protect Veda, he grabbed Stellas paw and stopped her.

Even though you are just like us, how can you not agree with my long-cherished wishes?

Get your hands off her!

I activated my Divine Authority so that he could not escape this time and instantly moved in front of Yin.

Yins eyes widened when he saw this.

What?

Haaaahhhh!

Yin-sama!

There was no way I could let that happen.

That would be an act of disrespect for both my thoughts and the thoughts of the other me.

That is why!

I held onto Yins hand as it pierced my chest.

Wha!? W-why can you move?

Let go of meeeee!

At that moment, a prismatic white light spread from my heart.

Agh! N-no way!

The white aura burned Yins hand that was holding my heart.

Unable to bear the intense pain, Yin took his hand away from my heart and quickly pulled it out.

At the same time, the wound in my chest healed and closed instantly.

T-this is

This power is Mystical power? But it is different from the mystical power I know!

Is this really mystical power?

But mystical power is supposed to be a power that only dead people can acquire.

Its true that I almost died from Yins attack just now.

But I am not dead.

Thats why its strange that I can activate my mystical power

The moment I thought that, I remembered the time when the power of the other me entered my body.

Could it be that what was entrusted to me back then was not only the spiritual power but the mystical power as well?

Another power has awakened, so what? I have absorbed the power of countless worlds!

Ggh!

At that moment, another overwhelming Power of Existence crashed into my body.

But

Hah!?

As my heart pulsed violently, not only the white aura symbolizing mystical power but also all the other powers I possessed was simultaneously and powerfully released from around my heart.

These different auras blended together to catch Yins Power of Existence directed at me.

And then Yins Power of Existence that touched my aura was absorbed into me as it was.

W-what? My power is being absorbed?

Yins Power of Existence was being absorbed by me, and he immediately stopped activating his Power of Existence, but for some reason, the Power of Existence naturally flowed out of his body without stopping and flowed into my body as before.

S-stop it! This is my power! This is my power to create our world!

Yins Power of Existence that had been pressing down on me disappeared, and I was able to move, so I readied my Omni Sword again.

Its over!

Dont mess with me!

Seeing that it was impossible to stop the absorption of the Power of Existence, Yin instead poured all the remaining power out towards me.

However, while absorbing it, I pushed forward with my Omni Sword in my hand.

As a result, I absorbed all of Yins Power of Existence.

Dont be ridiculous absorbing my collected Power of Existence I refuse to admit it I refuse to admit ittttt!

Not long after Yin shouted this, his body suddenly began to wriggle and writhe.

His arms and body were covered with flesh that rose and fell, expanding more and more, eventually turning into a huge mass of flesh.

The mass of flesh was tangled and pulsating with what appeared to be countless tentacles.

Amidst the surprise of the sudden change, there was a voice so heavy that it echoed throughout the space.

Do not interfere with my our long-cherished wish!

Along with Yins roar, countless tentacles were released.

They immediately flew towards me.

But in the face of such a massive attack I was completely calm.

Omni Sword.

I picked up the Omni Sword and slashed the tentacles away.

Absolute Spear.

I took out the Absolute Spear from my Item Box and pierced the remaining tentacles.

Formless Bow.

The combination of the Omni Sword and the Absolute Spear blew away all the approaching tentacles, and I used the Formless Bow to shoot through the newly generated tentacles.

Can you still stop this?

However, even with the increased speed at which the tentacles were generated, Yin was unable to keep up with my Formless Bow.

Then, more tentacle attacks than ever before came at me.

Hahahahahahaha! Sink under my attack!

Heavenly Whip.

I took out the Heavenly Whip from my Item Box and swung it wildly.

With that, the number of tails on the Heavenly Whip continued to increase, automatically following Yins tentacles and wrapping around them, pushing them all away.

After all of his own attacks had been dealt with. Yin shouted impatiently.

Kuh If the numbers dont work, then!

Then he gave up on attacking with numbers, and this time he gathered the tentacles into one, forming a shape like a giant hammer, and swung it down on me as it was.

World Strike!

However, before that attack, I took out the World Strike and struck the tentacles directly with the hammer.

After a moments struggle, the World Strike crushed Yins tentacle hammer.

As a result, Yin lost his means of attack and became distraught without admitting it.

I-impossible D-dont come Stoooopppp!

Finally, as I drew out the Omni Sword again, with nothing left to hinder me, with every step I took, my newly absorbed power ran through my entire body, accelerating faster and faster.

And then.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Idle Strike.

Leaving all the scenery behind, I slashed Yin down.

N no way my our world is.

As he muttered this, Yins body collapsed and disappeared.

Yi Yin-samaaaaaa!

There!

Meow!

Gaaaaaahhhh!

Immediately after Yin was defeated, Veda was attacked by Meikos Spirit Ball and Stellas claws and Veda disappeared just like Yin.
