I am the protagonist

"Yes."

Gokudera was the first to take his own box, as well as the boxes of the idiot and the lark.

"This one is mine."

Yamamoto took the blue box that was burning with blue flames.

"Then this one is mine."

Sasagawa took down the golden box that was burning with golden flames.

Chrome had already placed her own Vongola Box in her pocket.

"This operation is now completely over. Next, we'll face the game with Byakuran."

Tsuna had actually been preparing for this moment for a long time.

"You'll have two weeks of free time next. Now that you're all aware of your own problems, you'll need to work hard on the game you're about to play. Do you understand?"

"Tsuna, I have a question."

"Then ask."

"Tsuna, did you and Byakuran know each other before?"

"No, this should be the first time we've met."

This was the first real meeting between Bai Lan and him.

"Then why do you seem to have a relationship with him that's like you've known each other for a long time?"

Yamamoto just doesn't understand this point.

"Although this is our first meeting, we already have some understanding of each other."

"I know exactly what kind of person that guy is."

"That guy is nothing but a marshmallow pervert."

"He's not that bad, it's just that his fate is to be the villain, so he can only stand on our side."

Yes, Tsuna's predictions have all come to the same conclusion.

The fact that he and Bai Lan were on opposite sides was actually an arrangement of fate.

"Tsuna, he seems different from what you said. He's a really bad person."

That was based on the circumstances he was facing.

In fact, Tsunayoshi had already seen through this part of the matter long ago.

Byakuran became the way he is now entirely due to the "guidance" of the Mare Ring.

This situation arose because he was chosen as the owner of the Mare Ring, which led him to pursue the supreme power that could open the gates to parallel worlds.

Every kind of power comes at a price, and Byakuran's power is no exception.

But the price he paid was different from that of ordinary people.

This power completely changed Byakuran's future.

Similarly, this led Bai Lan into an eternal prison.

This power allowed him to easily obtain what he called the world.

But this power took everything away from him.

"No matter what kind of power it is, it always comes at a price."

"Bai Lan's time travel also came at a very high price."

"Perhaps a simple explanation is beyond the comprehension of most people, but that power took away his trust in people and the joy of things, making him a unique existence in this world, but also leaving him utterly alone."

"He couldn't trust anyone, nor could he fit into other groups."

"It's like a game. Right now, Bai Lan is like a player who is the only one in the game, and everyone else is just like an NPC in Bai Lan's eyes."

Upon hearing this, Irie was suddenly startled.

"He originally conquered the world for his own interest, and even collecting 73 was just to fulfill his own interest."

"But what Bai Lan really wants is not those NPCs, but his kind who can acknowledge his existence and play with him."

"It is precisely because he cannot achieve this that he hopes to seek 73 to open the door to a parallel world, so that he can become the creator of this world, and thus escape this fate of being forever alone."

It might sound a bit silly.

I created my own game because of my own interests.

However, because I was playing the game alone, it gradually became boring, so I wanted to completely quit the game.

However, during the implementation process, it was discovered that it was simply impossible to do.

This is the situation that Blancheso faces.

This is also why Tsuna decided to end Byakuran's Eternal Game after learning about Byakuran's situation.

Chapter 84 Destroyed the Base

Is that so?

After hearing everything, Irie was completely devastated.

[It was because Bai Lan won by a narrow margin that she didn't do anything to me at first, and I just went through university as an ordinary person.]

Even though Irie knew that Byakuran was the culprit behind the world's chaos, he also realized when he recalled his university days that it was the best time of his relationship with Byakuran.

However, ever since Irie began to regain her memories in her third year of university, she has never had any happy memories with Byakuran again.

Because in his heart, Mr. White Orchid was still the culprit who almost destroyed the world.

So, it turns out, I really was the one who caused Mr. Byakuran to become like this.

However, it wasn't that Byakuran awakened his ability to travel to parallel worlds ahead of time, but rather my attitude that caused Byakuran's personality to completely change.

Upon realizing this, Irie suddenly began to regret everything she had done.

"Snapped!"

"It's not your fault, Irie."

"But Mr. Bai Lan now..."

“I have said that his fate was sealed the moment he was chosen as the owner of the Mare Ring.”

Tsuna was certain that Byakuran's fate was like this. Regardless of whether someone came into contact with him, his future destiny would definitely move in this direction. It just so happened that this time it was Irie Shoichi.

"Anyone who has come into contact with him will cause him to become the way he is now."

"It doesn't matter whether it's you or not, understand?"

Even so, Irie's complexion did not improve in the slightest.

Tsunayoshi understands Irie's feelings now; to him, Byakuran's change of heart may be due to him.

Poor child.

Byakuran cannot escape his fate, because the one who orchestrated his downfall is very likely this world itself. To escape the world's fate... he must at least surpass this world himself.

It's a joke for someone bound by this world to want to transcend it.

At least in this world, it's unlikely that anyone who uses the Death Flame can break free from the constraints of the world and the Death Flame.

Although Byakuran's current actions are essentially a resistance against the world's fate, he is unaware that this resistance is actually part of the world's plan.

Although Byakuran should already know these words without them being said, Tsuna still felt sorry for this person.

Well, all I can do now is play one last game with him.

All Tsunayoshi can do is make Byakuran exit this game completely.

"Then let's get rid of everyone left in this base."

Tsuna will not show any mercy to the others in this base.

If the Millefiore base, which is so close to the Vongola base, isn't dealt with properly, even Tsuna himself won't be able to sleep at night.

"Gokudera, you guys take Irie and the others out first."

"Yes."

Gokudera approached Irie and, together with the baseball idiot, helped her leave the room.

"...Wait a minute. Besides this room, which cannot be destroyed, there is another person I plan to take with me from this base."

Irie barely regained her senses before being taken away.

"Okay, then you should go with Irie and take the people he wants with you."

Tsunayoshi doesn't want to know who Irie wants to take away right now; this isn't the place to talk.

"Chrome, aren't we going to go with them first?"

"I'll just stay by the Boss's side."

Chrome doesn't think Boss's identity is dangerous; she believes that staying by Boss's side is the safest thing to do.

Of course, even in very dangerous situations, Chrome hopes to stay by the Boss's side forever.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Yes, this base is full of Milfiore members. As for their fates..."

"Boss, I wasn't referring to whether those people are alive or dead."

Chrome didn't care whether those people lived or died.

"Boss, I mean, it would take a lot of Death Flame to destroy this base."

From the very beginning, the only person Chrome was worried about was his own boss.

"Not many."

Tsuna, who recovers three MP per second, really doesn't care about such a small amount of consumption.

"The plan is simply to use the Zero Point Breakthrough to freeze this base, completely freezing all life within it. The consumption of the Death Flame is not particularly high."

[It's just a base; it only takes 100 MP to completely freeze it.]

[That little bit of MP will be completely restored in thirty seconds.]

For Tsuna, this level of consumption is practically equivalent to no consumption at all.

"Buzz!"

[Tenth Generation Boss, we have already left the base.]

"Okay, back to base immediately."

Gokudera and the others have already left the base, so we can begin now.

"Then let's begin."

Frost began to cover the ground, and the astonishing cold began to spread outwards at an incredibly rapid pace.

Wherever there were people in the base, shouts like "What's going on?" and "Don't come any closer!" could be heard.

However, these cries did not grant them more life; instead, they ended their lives in an instant.

[Level Up!]

"Ok?"

This reminder surprised Tsuna a bit.

[Can I gain experience by killing these small fry in the base?]

Is it because of the forced experience bonus?

Simply put, the highest-level characters in the game will fight on the most basic maps, and the lowest-level monsters on those maps will give the characters a minimum experience bonus.

[Does this mean they support my decision to massacre the city?]

But after thinking about it carefully, Tsuna realized that the situation was not as simple as he had imagined.

[...I forgot to mention, even the worst soldiers at the Milfiore base have undergone professional training, making them much stronger than ordinary people.]

Even if these soldiers are low-ranking, they can at least give me some experience.
