Conquer the world, young man!

Suddenly, I felt a little incredulous. System... are you really okay?

[...] The system, which always considered itself a kind person, had nothing to say.

This time, Totsuka focused his attention on those who were on the opposite side of Tsuna and the others. One of them was a man who looked very seductive, with wavy, light green hair and green eyes. What Totsuka found most awkward was that the man was also wearing green eyeshadow and had wing-shaped gold decorations on both sides of his cheeks. This must be the makeup of a visual kei artist from Japan!

Standing next to that visual kei celebrity was an incredibly cute girl with long, dark blue hair and eyes—a total moe type. It's a shame she was the one who attacked Gokudera and the others. Such a lovely person has to be an enemy.

Following them was a person wearing a mask and a cloak. The power emanating from that person made it clear to Totsuka that this guy with the demon mask was an illusionist.

There were other people in the sky, one of whom, called Gamma, was holding a cute girl dressed like a member of a minority group. Standing in front of them were two people who looked like subordinates, named Wild Ape and Great Ape.

Seeing how much Tsuna and the others cared about the girl being held in Gamma's arms, it's clear they're on the same side. So, the enemies are visual kei entertainers, cute lolis, and demon-masked illusionists.

Having grasped the situation on the field, Totsuka directly took out the Toyotsuki God's mask from his soul-bound system package. Strangely enough, when he put on the mask, his spirit's attire changed to a kimono. Immediately after he put on the mask, as if by magic, Totsuka's figure appeared in the sky.

His sudden appearance immediately made Totsuka the focus of everyone's attention, and people on both sides of the sky turned their gazes to him.

Like a newborn, Totsuka raised her hand and waved happily, "Oh, sorry to bother you."

"This outfit..." Sawada Tsunayoshi on the ground and those who had participated in the battle of the Lightning Guardian were stunned. "Is it Tatara from ten years later?"

“No.” Reborn shook his head slightly and looked up. “It’s obvious, judging from his height, he’s still Tatara from ten years ago.”

Totsuka naturally heard Tsuna and Reborn's discussion, and a smile appeared on his face under the mask. "Tsuna, and everyone else, the me now is indeed the one from ten years ago. It seems you have quite a few wounded here."

“But this is so strange.” Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned slightly as he looked at the figure in the sky. “Back then, Lambo’s Ten-Year Bazooka hit Tatara, but Tatara didn’t disappear…”

"There seem to be some things I'm not even aware of. Let's deal with the enemy first, and then we can talk things over." Totsuka said to the group of people who had been identified as enemies, "Are you subordinates of the person who wants to rule the world?"

"Hah~ Could it be an old acquaintance of Lord Bailan?" The man with light green curly hair curled his lips slightly. "However, we have no idea about Lord Bailan's plans."

"Kikyo, what kind of strange person is this!" The girl next to the man immediately pouted and impatiently called out to the person in front of her, "Wolfsbane, hurry up and take care of them!"

The masked monster known as Wolfsbane turned to Totsuka, seemingly ready to attack. Totsuka, meanwhile, pondered. Against this strange illusionist, his illusions were certainly inferior. Would Onmyojutsu be effective? Or should he use fire magic?

Before he could finish his thought, he discovered that the wolf poison had been sent flying by A-Tsuna, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Where are you looking?" Sawada Tsunayoshi, in Hyper Dying Will Mode, had orange flames burning on his forehead and flames also burning on the metal gloves on his hands. There was also a small lion-like animal on his shoulder, which must have just appeared from the box. "Your opponent is here!"

"The Tenth Boss!" Gokudera Hayato shouted from below, "And Totsuka-sama is here too! That's wonderful!"

"Heh, Tsuna is definitely more motivated right now." Reborn lifted the brim of his hat, his expression relaxing.

"When did the Vongola arrive at that place?!" the girl with long, dark blue hair exclaimed, somewhat confused about the current situation.

"Don't underestimate my speed." At this moment, Tsuna clenched his fists, but there was no wavering on his face. He stood in front of Totsuka Tatara, who appeared in the sky, and calmly looked at his opponent.

"Hah~ You're still so confident in front of an opponent you can't even defeat in a Choice battle?" Kikyo glanced at someone behind the Vongola. Clearly, this mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared was extremely important to the Vongola. Furthermore, that person seemed to know something about Byakuran-sama. Just who was this guy?

"That visual kei artist named Kikyo..." Totsuka shouted at the person opposite him from behind Tsuna, "When you speak, can you please stop using weird voice words? Your voice is so nice, it's really awkward to make it sound so strange!"

Kikyo's expression immediately became conflicted. Was she being provoked or teased?

"Haha, this is so funny!" The girl standing next to Kikyo immediately clutched her stomach and burst into laughter. After glancing at Kikyo, she laughed even harder.

Kikyo's face twitched slightly, and she glared at the girl beside her. "Alright, Suzuran, what's so interesting about this!"

"If Byakuran saw someone this interesting, she would definitely be very interested too!" Suzuran said, hands on her hips, to Totsuka. "What's your name? Are you also with the Vongola?"

Totsuka nodded and replied quite naturally, "Of course, won't there be any problems with a cute girl like you hanging out with that group of weirdos?"

"What kind of weirdo is this!" Kikyo's brow twitched again. She didn't stop Wolf Poison from opening the Shura Box when Wolf Poison was about to do so. No matter who that guy was, with Byakuran's abilities, he would definitely know his identity.

Suzuran stuck out her tongue in Totsuka's direction, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "Although I'm happy that you praised me, Kikyo is still my comrade. Even if she's a bit strange, it's okay for me to follow her!"

"Ha, why do I not feel happy at all when you say that, Suzuran?" Kikyo swallowed back the interjection she was about to say, but quickly realized why she was so easily swayed by the boy's words. In short, at this moment, even her fighting spirit had been completely extinguished.

While Totsuka was chatting with the two opposing forces, the masked illusionist released the box embedded in his chest, which emitted a blinding light. When the light dispersed, what appeared before everyone was a creature whose body had transformed into a moth, with pupil-like patterns printed on its wings, making it instantly repulsive.

"Hey, is this what transformation is?" Totsuka couldn't help but complain when he realized he was ten years in the future. Who was Byakuran? How could he have such a strange subordinate? It was completely illogical.

Just as this giant moth appeared, Totsuka also clearly felt that his senses seemed to be playing tricks on him, as if the world itself was twisting.

"The so-called Shura Opening the Box is the product of multiplying the abilities of humans with those of the Box Weapons." Kikyo closed her eyes and curled her lips when she saw this scene. "Anyone who looks into the mimicry eyes of the wolfsbane that has evolved into a moth will have their five senses go haywire for a moment and lose sight of the truth."

"In the end, it's just an illusion." Totsuka looked at Kikyo. "You really have the leisure to offer explanations at a time like this."

“It’s no use being stubborn now. Once you’ve seen the pattern on the wolfsbane feathers, you can’t break through the illusion even if you close your eyes.” Standing high in the sky, Kikyo didn’t care about the boy’s words and continued to explain.

At this moment, the wolfsbane has completely disappeared, and it is unknown when or where it will reappear. It is so well hidden that no one knows when it will launch an attack.

Faced with several people who could almost be called non-human, Totsuka thought and thought, and realized that he really didn't have any tricks up his sleeve.

[Host, stop thinking about it. Given your current condition, you should act according to your abilities.]

The system's notification caused Totsuka to float to the ground and focus her gaze on Chrome, the Mist Guardian of the Vongola. "Visual Kei entertainers, you have illusionists where you are, and the Vongola has them too. Don't underestimate them."

"Lord Totsuka..." Chrome Skull gripped her trident tightly, releasing her box weapon in exchange for the D. Spade Magic Mirror, hailed as an intangible phantom. With the Magic Mirror behind her, Chrome immediately called out to Sawada Tsunayoshi above, "Boss, left! This time it's left!"

Upon hearing Chrome's prompting, Sawada Tsunayoshi, without being able to see the enemy, threw a left punch to the left. This attack directly struck Wolf's Venom.

Just as all illusions become visible under this magic mirror, Wolfsbane's illusion magic could not hide him, and he was laid bare before Chrome's eyes.

When Tsuna landed another punch on Wolfsbane, the distorted scenery returned to normal, clearly indicating that Wolfsbane's illusion had been broken.

Reborn waved to Totsuka and smiled, "Ciao'su~ Tatara, it seems your arrival brings good omens indeed."

"This has nothing to do with me." Totsuka moved his mask slightly aside, nodded to the group, and said, "I was going to help, but I realized I couldn't really do anything. However, I should be able to help with your injuries."

His soul was weak, but his abilities remained; it was just unknown how much he could still utilize. Totsuka walked over to Gokudera Hayato and Sasagawa Ryohei, who were covered in wounds. "Which wounds are more serious? Let me take a look."

"Lord Lambo is so dizzy!" The child dressed in a cow costume spun around in circles, waving his hands. "Totsuka, come help Lord Lambo!"

"Rambo, don't be so rude!" the girl dressed in Chinese kung fu attire immediately shouted.

"Lord Totsuka, I never expected to get you involved too." Gokudera Hayato looked at the person squatting beside him, checking his injuries, with teary eyes, and sniffled with emotion. "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me at all."

“Your body doesn’t say that.” Totsuka reached out his left hand and covered Gokudera’s lower back. “After all, we’re dealing with an enemy that’s beyond human imagination. If your body can’t hold on, then things will be terrible.”

Hayato Gokudera quickly felt as if his lower back was being soaked in warm water, and the pain gradually disappeared. This made his tightly furrowed brows relax, and when the boy's hand left, he felt much more refreshed.

But when he turned around and saw the boy's pale face under the peony crown and deer antler mask, he immediately widened his eyes and asked, "Lord Totsuka, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Totsuka waved his hand and walked over to Sasagawa Ryohei, extending his hand. Unlike before, this treatment left him feeling extremely tired. So, all the problems are still related to his soul?

"Totsuka-kun, I'm fine." Sasagawa Ryohei took a step back. Seeing the boy's weak appearance, anyone could tell that this treatment method was exhausting him. "I am the Guardian of Sun, and my injuries will soon be healed by the activity of the Sun attribute."

"Tatara..." Reborn stood in front of Sasagawa Ryohei and shook his head at the boy, "Tsuna would feel very guilty if he saw you fall down, so you should rest now."

“It’s okay, actually…” Totsuka wanted to say something more, but he shut his mouth when he saw Reborn’s expression. Reborn rarely looked at him with such a serious expression; it seemed he really was someone to worry about.

Seeing that the boy was no longer forcing himself, Reborn gave the boy a good look with his dark eyes, then turned his gaze to the sky, "After the real Six Funeral Wreaths leave, I think there are some things we need to talk about."

"Hmm." Totsuka followed Reborn's gaze and looked up at the sky. At this moment, Tsuna had kicked Wolfsbane over, which caused the wings of the moths on Wolfsbane to disappear.

“Basil.” Reborn was not relieved when he saw this situation. Instead, he said to Basil, who was ten years in the future, who was in the advisor’s room outside the door, “I need to use your Box Weapon.”

"Yes, Lord Reborn." Basil stepped forward, having already opened his Box Weapon with rain-attribute flames, and a blue dolphin leaped out of the small box. Reborn jumped onto the leaping dolphin and flew into the sky.

"It's a dolphin! How beautiful!" Totsuka felt it was getting more and more like science fiction, and quickly asked Basil beside him, "What's this box weapon? Will people use it as a means of attack in the future?"

"Your Highness Totsuka." Basil bowed to Totsuka first, then smiled and said, "My Box Weapon is the Rain Dolphin, Balfi. The creation of Box Weapons actually has a long history, completely breaking through the limits of technology and fire research. Box Weapons require rings with the same attribute fluctuations to open..."

Under Basil's explanation, Totsuka gradually understood how powerful these people were ten years later. He also learned that Byakuran, who wanted to rule the world, was here seeking Yuni, and the girl with minority features being held in Gamma's arms, Yuni, was none other than Sky from Alcobaleno. The babies from ten years later, including Colonello whom Totsuka knew, had all perished. Yuni was now seeking Tsuna's protection.

As for Byakuran's organization, Millefiore, his True Six Funeral Wreaths are all incredibly powerful opponents. Tsuna is currently striving to return to ten years in the past. Totsuka also had Gokudera recount their experiences since arriving here, which made them realize how cruel the world ten years later truly is. Byakuran is essentially the big boss of this world, and it seems that in the end, we'll have to rely on Tsuna, the protagonist of Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, to defeat him.

"Um..." The orange-haired man, who hadn't spoken until now, stepped forward with difficulty, seemingly bearing several injuries. He nervously adjusted his glasses, his gaze involuntarily darting towards the boy's face beneath the mask. "Though it may be presumptuous, I'd like to ask, are you Lord Randy from ten years ago?"

Totsuka nodded, sized up the man for a moment, and asked, "May I ask who you are?" He must also be a member of the Vongola, but I've never seen him before.

"Ah, I am Irie Shoichi, Lord Randy!" The orange-haired man's eyes shone brightly. Despite his pain, he bowed deeply to Totsuka and said loudly, "You are the idol I have admired since I was a child. All your albums are wonderful, and I have treasured them all. I never expected to meet you here, it's just too..."

Before Irie Shoichi could finish speaking, he clutched his stomach and his face turned pale.

"Um, are you alright?" Totsuka asked with some concern, looking at the person who seemed to be his fan.

“It’s nothing.” Irie Masakazu quickly shook his head. “I was just too excited and nervous to see you. My dream since I was a child was to become a musician, and seeing you feels like a dream.”

"No need to be so polite, Irie." Totsuka watched the battle unfold. Reborn had already blocked Kikyo's attack, and Gokudera and Sasagawa had also stepped forward to help. What surprised Totsuka the most was Tsuna. At this moment, Tsuna was using flames as propulsion in one hand, while the other hand seemed to be gathering some kind of attack. Even from a distance, one could clearly feel the power that was about to burst forth.

"XBURNER!" As Sawada Tsunayoshi uttered the name of the technique, a massive burst of flames was unleashed, instantly scorching Wolf's body.

"Such power..." Totsuka stared in astonishment at the power Tsuna unleashed, and using the system's ability to check Tsuna's overall attribute value, he found that it had reached S-rank.

In this situation, Kikyo, along with Suzuran who was still unwilling to retreat, and the monks who had been burned as offerings, quickly left the place.

"Fortunately, they've left." Irie Shoichi sighed softly, looking at the crowd in the sky. "Right now, everyone's condition isn't too good either."

"If my body were in better shape now, I could do something for everyone." Totsuka looked at the people who had landed on the ground. "Everyone in ten years is already so amazing. Right now, I'm probably just a burden." He thought he could do something, but he found that his soul's abilities were not enough to support him in using his powers.

“No, Lord Randy, your presence alone is already a great source of strength!” Irie Shoichi nodded firmly, as if to emphasize the certainty of his words. “Even Mr. Byakuran once told me that Lord Randy, you are a very unique being.”

"Bai Lan, that person who wants to rule the world?" Totsuka frowned, somewhat puzzled. "I've never had any dealings with that kind of person."

“Perhaps it’s Lord Randy from ten years in the future…” Irie Shoichi thought for a moment, his eyes darkening. “If Mr. Byakuran knew that Lord Randy from ten years ago had come to this world, I’m afraid…”

"Although I don't know what kind of person Byakuran really is," Totsuka chuckled, glancing at Sawada Tsunayoshi, whose forehead flame had already disappeared. "With Tsuna here, there won't be any problems."

“Yes, if that's what Lord Randy says.” Irie Shoichi loosened his grip on his stomach; the wound still ached, but the tension from seeing someone he admired had eased after a while of chatting. Truly, a strange influence…

Chapter 125-121 The Final Battle Begins

Although the enemy had left, those who remained were all wounded to varying degrees. Totsuka felt somewhat helpless looking at everyone; the large number of wounded meant they couldn't move long distances. Meanwhile, Uni, the boss of Alcobaleno, suggested that everyone head to the forest.

Totsuka followed directly behind the group, and he suddenly realized that since he was now just a spirit, nothing worse could happen. As for that Byakuran guy, he, a 'dead man,' was nothing to worry about.

However, he clearly exists again ten years later. So, this death was just him worrying for nothing? That system must have seen a lot of jokes! Before he died, he did a lot of mental preparation and even took two shots from the Colorless King!

[Oh, so the host finally realized it?]

Totsuka clenched her fingers, and the expression behind the mask crumbled in an instant.

"Tatara, are you alright?" Sawada Tsunayoshi, walking beside Totsuka, clearly sensed the change in the atmosphere around him. He turned his head, but his view was blocked by the mask the boy was wearing.

"Haha, I'm fine." Totsuka said in a light voice, but the words he wanted to say to the system were blocked by a [beep] sound.

[Even with the best temper, this system doesn't want to hear the host say "[beep]". If this happens again, the host will be muted. Besides, the system clearly told the host there was a surprise, it's just that the host is too pessimistic.]

Totsuka slowly exhaled a few breaths, finally suppressing his anger. Well, in a way, he had been too preoccupied with the thought of 'death' and hadn't paid attention to anything else. Since he could live on, once he completed the remaining task, everything would be over.

"Why did you also arrive ten years in the future, Tatara?" Sawada Tsunayoshi suddenly realized something was amiss and cautiously asked, "Were you also hit by the ten-year rocket attack later?"

"Wait a minute..." Totsuka also felt something was wrong, and thought of what Sawada Tsunayoshi had said when they met ten years later, "Tsuna, you're saying that I didn't disappear after being hit by the ten-year rocket?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, after the smoke cleared, Totsuka was still in the same place, and looked exactly the same. But before I could even say hello to you, I was engulfed by the Ten-Year Rocket Launcher and ended up here."

Afterwards, Totsuka had learned most of what Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others had gone through, but the part of himself that hadn't disappeared ten years ago still bothered him to some extent.
