I'll kill you after I finish this game!

When Akuma saw Skadi pointing her finger at his forehead, he instinctively tried to dodge.

But after he had this thought and made a movement to dodge, the pale little finger in front of him seemed to turn into the sky.

No matter where he runs on the ground, the sky is always above him, and he can't escape it.

When Skadi touched Akuma's forehead, Akuma involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.

If Skadi wanted to kill him with that finger, he felt that there was no point in resisting; a strong sense of powerlessness filled Akuma's heart.

After Skadi's fingers touched Akuma's forehead, she transmitted the language and various miscellaneous information of this era to him, then withdrew her hand and said:

"By the way, your son arrived in this era before you, it's about time he came back."

"...My son?"

Upon hearing this, Akuma was startled. He hadn't expected Skadi to know he had a son, and then he thought of that brat Ryu.

He originally had a childhood sweetheart named Sayaka.

The other party is the daughter of his master, Todoroki, and also the mother of Ryu.

Akuma knew that Takashi was his son, but he had no intention of fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.

He was a solitary seeker of the Way, and so was his son; the bond between them was also distant.

Although he remained indifferent, it didn't mean that Akuma didn't care about Ryu. Upon hearing that Ryu had also arrived in this era, he subconsciously became worried about him.

But after hearing Skadi say that Ron should be back soon, and confirming that he was alright, he lost interest.

He then used the language of the time to communicate with Ocas in front of him.

Both men were belligerent, and before they had exchanged more than a few words, the conversation turned to fighting, with Ocas being the one to extend the invitation first.

As for this old man who slapped himself in the face to wake himself up, Gouki was also eager to test his mettle.

As for Skadi, he will naturally pay her a visit after the match is over.

...........

On the throne of the myriad phenomena, Reiji stood beside the Mercury Serpent, gazing at the countless universes beneath the throne. After withdrawing his gaze from Skadi's direction, he looked towards the main universe, Reinhardt.

At this moment, Skadi, after accumulating experience, also officially embarked on her journey.

Although Skadi was the last among the actors to reach the rudimentary form of the law, the accumulation of years was not without purpose and significance.

Skadi is Reiji's successor, so naturally he places the utmost importance on her upbringing and education.

Skadi, having matured over time, may not have gained much advantage in formal stage plays compared to those like Matilda and Reinhardt who entered the realm of "creation" in a short period of time, but she has laid a very solid foundation in the aftermath of everything.

The weight that comes with Razer is not so easy to inherit. Skadi can only achieve true independence when she takes everything from him.

"Everyone is in position, and Reinhardt's side will be ready soon too."

Looking at Reinhardt, who was sitting idly in the Golden Demon City overlooking this boring world in the main universe, Reiji smiled and glanced at the progress before deciding to let Reinhardt go and cause trouble in other universes.

"Ah, yes, Methuselah is going to greet his closing ceremony. He looks so cute being rejected by the woman he loves."

Mercury Serpent, seated on its seat, propped its face up and glanced at Skadi and Matilda, whose parts were already complete. Then, it smiled and looked at its half-body in the main universe and its familiars.

Methuselah was the mercury serpent's friend on Earth, and also his retinue.

The other party is an ancient mystery in the Mercury Serpent universe, and the other party itself represents the embodiment of the mysterious concept of darkness.

Now, as the Mercury Serpent scenario approaches its final stage, the mystical forces are rapidly waning, and Methuselah, sensing this, believes that the world is about to end.

Methuselah, who had lived for an unknown amount of time, was not afraid of destruction; he simply wanted to be with the mercury serpent and pursue a death that he recognized and could accept.

If he could, Methuselah would also like to do something similar to the Mercury Serpent; he wanted a partner, a soulmate.

"I must say, as expected of your family, they are all equally extraordinary when it comes to pursuing women."

Reiji clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at Methuselah, the familiar of the Mercury Serpent in the main universe. Methuselah's eyes were as rotten as the Mercury Serpent's.

Sensing that the world is about to end, they also begin to emerge and, under the apocalypse, want to find a partner to spend their last moments together.

The classic Mercury Serpent pattern of romance: one wants to die in the arms of his beloved woman, while the other wants to face the end of the world with his lover.

"Ah, he just wanted to find meaning in his life in this world full of stale knowledge, just like me, to feel a sense of real pride, and to feel fulfilled."

Mercury Serpent didn't care about Reiji's opinion, but it didn't refute Reiji's point that its familiars looked just like it.

Throughout history, the Mercury Serpent has roamed the earth in various guises, all in an effort to enrich itself.

Meanwhile, his retinue of Methuselah had lived far too long in its constant wandering.

So long ago, the end of the world was near, and in this final moment, he wanted to pursue his desires like the Mercury Serpent.

Methuselah could not accept dying without having befriended anyone.

"In the end, it's still women who can satisfy men. He's probably looking for his other half, yearning for mutual redemption." Lei Zhe, also a domineering god, thought of his own other half, which was indeed a very good pursuit.

"After all, darkness in isolation is meaningless, it is nothingness. It is because of light that darkness can exist as darkness, and vice versa."

The aggregate of concepts in the darkness is pursuing light, and Mercury Serpent finds this contradiction quite profound.

Methuselah was seeking the existence he needed, and that existence also needed him.

The requirements are neither high nor low, but if they truly exist, then when they meet, their demise will not be far off.

Because rather than mutual dependence, it is more likely that light illuminates darkness, or darkness devours light.

Mercury and Rezer both knew that Methuselah was courting death, but neither of them had any objections or any intention to stop him.

Methuselah is a being in the Mercury Serpent universe, born in his universe and existing in his universe.

He couldn't go back to the fifth day from the fourth day like he did in the previous cycle.

If the universe of the Mercury Serpent ends, Methuselah, the servant who exists within the Mercury universe, will naturally perish as well.

Therefore, the Mercury Serpent was a great supporter of Methuselah's pursuit of a meaningful end, as it was a friend who had accompanied him for so long.
