Skadi, returning to infinity

However, Saber did not agree with his idea at all.

She shook her head, said nothing, and rushed through the open window.

"Don't force me." Emiya Kiritsugu raised his hand, which was engraved with a Command Seal, and was about to use the second Command Seal to force Saber to return.

Before he could even use it, Irisviel rushed over and stopped him.

“Let Saber go, and we’ll go with her.”

"At least, let's see what's really going on..."

Looking at his wife's expression and listening to her words, Kiritsugu Emiya remained silent for a moment before slowly nodding.

He then pulled Irisviel downstairs to the garage, mounted a motorcycle, and drove Irisviel towards the center of the battlefield...

Chapter 81: Burn Your Own Life, Skadi

Powerless...

No matter how he attacked, it felt like he was just wasting his energy.

Dio in his Super Saiyan form stood there, glaring at her, without making any other move.

When his attacks landed on him, it was like falling into a quagmire, without even a ripple.

"Haha, this feeling of being in control is really great."

Dio raised his hand, looked at the golden energy above it, and smiled broadly.

He genuinely enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything, like a god, omnipotent.

Staring at him, Skadi took a few steps back, but wasn't too discouraged.

She was well aware of the difference between SS-rank and SSS-rank, and with the help of some special abilities, she could indeed find a way to slightly rival SSS-rank.

They can contend with each other at a high level, but actually killing the other is practically impossible.

Unless she can use her most treasured possessions and their abilities, she might be able to kill the other party.

"This won't do... It's getting harder and harder if this continues."

Skadi's breathing became heavier as she pondered what she should do next.

The reason she released Dio from his confinement was mainly because she knew he wasn't afraid of the sun, so there was no need to do it.

As a result, the opponent used this momentum to try and escape from in front of him.

This was not what she wanted, so she stopped him and planned to kill him.

She had considered what trump cards Dio might have, but she never imagined he would possess something so draining, capable of transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Bloodline ability.

Looking at this SSS-level guy, she felt a little regretful that she hadn't dealt with him in the first place.

Of course, even if she could get rid of him, she might not be able to prevent Dio from using this ability.

After all, the special domain formed by SSS-level is not something that can be easily broken through.

"Phew... I need to think of a way."

It is precisely in times like these that she needs to stay calm. If she wants to defeat Dio in this form, she must be sufficiently composed.

Just watching the energy he was releasing already leveling the surrounding buildings and beginning to destroy Fuyuki City, a flicker of emotion welled up inside her.

The anxiety is something I can't erase no matter what I do.

After all, he had promised Rin Tohsaka that he wouldn't let Fuyuki City be destroyed, but now it seemed that promise couldn't be kept.

At present.

"No, we must stop him."

Most abilities below SSS rank become ineffective against SSS rank.

For example, the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which possesses absolute dominance and lethality at SS-rank and below, also requires some other abilities.

However, the Rinnegan and its "normal punch" are not subject to level suppression.

"[A normal punch]?" Skadi ninja raised her hand, looked at her fist, and pondered.

“My normal punch now requires a little charging up, which is what the original ‘Serious Punch’ required.”

"That means I'm still a very, very long way from achieving the [Serious Punch]."

"Although I know the principle behind how it works, I didn't spend ten days raising my abilities to SS level like I did before. It's basically..."

It's unusable.

"what to do......"

If there were any other way to resolve the current crisis, the first thing that came to her mind was her own fists.

A single, ordinary punch is not powerful enough for Dio in his current state to pose much of a threat.

However, if it were the advanced version of "Serious Punch," even an SSS-level Dio would have to back down in the face of such an attack.

However, simply retreating was not enough; she needed to defeat her opponent and kill him.

"Twenty times the Kaioken, plus a serious punch..."

"It should be possible."

Skadi had already found a solution in her mind; the only problem now was—how to use it.

She believed that her ability to suppress SS-level opponents was entirely due to various powerful SS-level skills and bloodlines.

She is currently only at the peak of S-class and has not yet broken through to SS-class.

This means that for her to use these two abilities is like burning her own god.

"Burning life?"

Skadi would never have allowed this, but a thought that flashed through her mind made her think about it for a moment.

"Yes...burning life."

Skadi's eyes widened slightly as she began to think about what to do.

She has the [Divine Tree] trait, as well as the [Turbid Heart Skadi] trait.

These two characteristics are what allow her to continuously restore her lost life.

She can usually recover from injuries in a few seconds at most.

Unless you intentionally leave injuries to mislead your opponent, there's no need to worry about whether you'll survive.

However, it seems that these two incredibly powerful abilities have been wasted precisely because of his caution.

It would be a bit of a waste for you to use it only to restore your own life.

Now, I'm burning my life away, relying on you all...

I want to become strong enough.

Once the thought crossed her mind, Skadi didn't hesitate any longer.

She looked at Dior, who had already walked over, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Oh? You're already waiting to die? Hahaha... Your biggest regret should be that you didn't kill me before I made up my mind."

"And now, all you can do is go to hell to repent and regret your stupidity and ignorance."

"Once you die, no one in this world will be able to force me back into the [Game of Gods], and I will become the god of this world."

"To thank you for letting me return to this beautiful world and break free from the shackles of the [Game of Gods], I'll leave you with a complete corpse, hahaha..."

Dio's laughter grew more and more rampant, louder and louder, causing the ground around him to crack.

It slowly floated up to Skadi and looked at the petite girl.

Just minutes before, the other person had been ruthlessly choking him, leaving him with no ability to resist.

A few minutes later, the tables turned, and the weak and powerless woman in front of him had no right to resist him.

This feeling was so wonderful that it brought him joy.

What could be better than this feeling of life that governs all living things?

Oh, perhaps becoming a god in this world would be a more interesting thing.

"Um?"

Just as Dio reached out to crush Skadi's head, an ominous aura emanated from him, causing him to frown.

Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's happening...

As he was wondering, the girl in front of him suddenly unleashed a power that shocked him, sending him flying backward a distance.

The crimson energy surged forth like a tidal wave, engulfing the ground and the sky...

Everywhere was enveloped in red energy, as if a layer of blood had been laid over the night.

The energy, like seawater, came and went quickly; in an instant, Skadi reappeared there.

At this moment, her eyes were still closed, but her body was indeed suspended in mid-air.

Her long white hair fluttered behind her, and on a windless night, she herself was a unique sight.

Drops of blood welled up from her skin, but none of them stained her clothes; instead, they flew into the air, disappearing into what she now perceived as...

The red energy barrier absorbed it.

With each drop of her blood absorbed, the red energy barrier became clearer and stronger.

"Burning her own life...this woman is truly insane."

Seeing this, how could Dio not know what forbidden power Skadi was using?

He licked his lips, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather a great admiration for Skadi.

Only a madwoman like her deserves to be my opponent; killing her would be the most satisfying thing to do.
