Did the Heroic Spirit I conquered become a reality?

"Give up?! Hahahaha—! Surrender to a 'human'?!"

Her eyes became more venomous than ever before.

"I am Beast IV! A beast born for revenge! My purpose is to utterly overturn and utterly ravage everything about you humans!"

She opened her arms and began to frantically absorb the deepest and most immense resentment that had accumulated on this land for a century!

"You... you..."

"—Er Leng Er Yi 0ba (II)—Give it all to me, and this land together, to return to 'nothingness'!!!"

She actually planned to detonate the entire concept of "Tunguska" and perish together with everyone!

Seeing this, Tohsaka Yu sighed helplessly.

It seems that this great battle is inevitable.

The battle instantly entered its most frenzied phase.

Without any further probing or words, the three "beasts" that had descended upon this place launched the most thorough and annihilating attack on the other "beast"!

"Aaaaaaa——!!!"

Tiamat's black mud sea coiled around Goyanskaya from all directions, as if trying to drag her into the primordial chaos.

Behind Kama, countless divine arrows imbued with the "principle of love" shot like a meteor shower, precisely targeting every vital point of Koyanskaya's spirit origin.

Sesshouin Kiara went even further, viewing this mental world as an extension of herself. The invisible power of "salvation" was like the most terrifying virus, constantly eroding Koyanskaya's very existence!

Faced with this siege that would make any god tremble, Goyanskaya's massive beastly body was constantly torn apart, pierced, and disintegrated...

However, Yu Tohsaka quickly realized that something was wrong.

No...something is so wrong!

Although Koyanskaya looked disheveled, her divine power showed no signs of diminishing!

No matter how deep the wounds Tiamat's black mud tore open, no matter how much magic Kama's divine arrows eroded, she could instantly recover in the next second!

She... had actually maintained a state of abundant and peak magical power the whole time!

“Haha…hahahahahahaha!”

As if sensing Tohsaka Yu's doubts, Gao Yangyin Lengqi Siwu Jiu Shi Jiu Ba Skaia suddenly burst into an extremely arrogant laugh amidst the storm of attacks from the three beasts.

"What's wrong? Is this all the great 'seniors' are capable of?!" Her mocking voice echoed throughout the battlefield. "Put in more force! Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy myself!"

She turned her head, her beastly eyes, filled with contempt, fixed intently on Tohsaka Yu.

"And you, my dearest 'big client'! You think that driving me to my 'hometown' is your victory? How adorably naive!"

She spread her arms wide, her posture arrogant and domineering.

"—Here, I am 'the world'! Your attacks are meaningless to me!!!"

"How dare a mere junior be so presumptuous..."

Kama's pretty face was now covered with frost. This proud goddess of love was completely enraged by Goyanskaya's arrogant attitude.

"Oh dear, what a noisy child."

Sesshouin Kiara, standing to the side, had a chillingly cold smile on her face, which had previously been a sign of compassion.

"It seems that without some special 'training' methods, I won't be able to make her understand the true meaning of 'salvation'."

Yu Tohsaka remained silent, only frowning slightly as she secretly observed Koyanskaya and every detail of this land.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he finally noticed something was amiss!

He had clearly seen Tiamat's powerful blow tear a huge wound in Koyanskaya's body, and the blood of the "beast" splattered out, splashing onto the scorched earth.

However, a strange scene happened.

The land, upon contact with her blood, absorbed it completely, like a thirsty sponge.

The next moment, an even larger, more resentful, and pitch-black energy surged wildly into Koyanskaya's body from the depths of the earth in all directions!

Her wounds healed instantly.

Yu Tohsaka surveyed the vast, scorched earth, a hellish landscape filled with death and cries of agony, and murmured, "Could it be that our enemy is not Koyanskaya... but this very land?"

"What do you mean by saying this?"

Kama, who was in the midst of a fit of rage, heard Tohsaka Yu's mutterings and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at him, "What do you mean by 'the enemy is this land'?"

Yu Tohsaka did not answer.

Because there's no time left to explain.

He must prove his judgment with actions!

“Mother!” he shouted toward Tiamat, “Stop attacking! Use the power of your ‘Sea of ​​Life’ to heal this land!”

"Aaaaaa?"

Tiamat stopped attacking, a hint of confusion appearing in her maternal eyes.

But she would still unconditionally obey the orders of her "children".

The next moment, the primordial black mud that was originally meant to devour everything miraculously began to shed its chaotic and destructive aura, instead emitting the most primal and purest fluctuations belonging to "life"!

The sea of ​​life gently covered this scorched earth of death.

An incredible sight occurred.

Vibrant flowers and grasses have sprouted anew from the charred bones. Sweet, clear springs have flowed again from the parched, cracked earth.

Upon seeing this, Kama was taken aback at first, but then quickly understood Tohsaka Yu's intention.

She put away the countless divine arrows and transformed her power of "love" into the gentlest requiem, enveloping the entire battlefield.

A voice filled with holiness and compassion gently echoed in the ears of all the departed souls on this land:

“I have seen your suffering.”

When she realized what Yu Tohsaka and the others were doing, the smile on Koyanskaya's arrogant face gradually disappeared.

Instead, there was an unprecedented, soul-deep terror and horror.

This guy actually wants to purify this land?!

"Do not……"

As she gazed at the earth being healed, at the souls being soothed, and felt the rapidly dissipating, no longer "pure" power of resentment within her, she began to mutter uncontrollably.

"Stop...stop now! You're not allowed...you're not allowed to take away my hatred!!!"

However, by the time she discovered it, it was too late.

Sesshouin Kiara, who had been standing still as if chanting something, slowly opened her eyes, which were filled with extreme compassion.

"—Happy Heaven·Womb Mandala".

With the liberation of her true name, she has truly begun her "Paradise of Bliss".

It was no longer a trap to devour enemies, but a golden, solemn, and broad road leading to the "other shore".

With boundless compassion, she began to deliver and guide the souls of animals who had been bound to this land for centuries, filled with suffering, granting them final peace and liberation.

As the three goddesses performed their "redemption" ritual, the very foundation of Goyanskaya's power was completely shaken.

She could clearly feel that the connection she had built with this land, which was based on "resentment," was being forcibly severed by a gentler, more compassionate force that she could not understand!

Her enormous beast-like body began to flicker uncontrollably, and the immense magical power that constituted her body was raging outward like a flood bursting its banks.

"no no!!!"

Koyanskaya let out a terrified scream, no longer the majestic roar of a "beast," but more like the desperate cry of a child about to lose everything.

“My hatred…my pain…those are mine! They chose me! How dare you…how dare you take them away?!”

The meaning of her existence is being denied, which causes her more pain and fear than killing her outright.

As this "beast" fell into its deepest chaos and weakening, Yu Tohsaka walked step by step towards her.

Koyanskaya suddenly raised her head and, with her last bit of strength, stared intently at him.

At this moment, she was no longer the arrogant and composed woman she once was.

The jet-black armor that symbolized the power of the "beast" had become tattered and worn, revealing large patches of snow-white, delicate skin that was unlike that of an ordinary person.

Several of its magnificent nine tails had broken off and hung limply behind it.

Her incomparably beautiful face was stained with dust and golden bloodstains, but this did not diminish her beauty; instead, it added a breathtaking, war-damaged beauty and charm.

"If you want to kill me... then do it." She spoke, her voice hoarse, yet still carrying the last pride of Beast IV.

Her heart was filled with endless absurdity and self-mockery.

She never imagined that the very foundation of her existence, the purest resentment born from the land of Tunguska, would be purified... and by three other beings who were also "human evil"!

The Mother Goddess of Creation is healing the earth, the God of Love is comforting the departed souls, and the Heavenly Demon Bodhisattva is delivering the grieving souls... Humanity did nothing from beginning to end; on the contrary, it was the Beast that saved the world.

...This is simply the biggest irony in the world!

Once the resentment disappears, she, a beast born for revenge, will lose her reason for existence...

Just as Koyanskaya was thinking this and preparing to face her ridiculous, final end, she saw the boy reach out his hand to her.

Koyanskaya paused for a moment, then said coldly, "What do you mean?"

"I will not kill you, Koyanskaya."

Yu Tohsaka's voice was calm yet earnest as he said, "Your hatred was born here, and it should not end here."

“I cannot deny your past, nor do I intend to erase your hatred… This world has been purified, but I can give your existence a new ‘meaning’.”

Koyanskaya narrowed her eyes, staring intently into the boy's eyes, and slowly said, "You want me to become yours?"

Yu Tohsaka nodded noncommittally: "After that, you can use your own eyes to witness firsthand what kind of ending this human civilization that you hate will ultimately face."

This guy... actually wants to use a beast for his own purposes?

Looking at the boy's outstretched hand and his clear, earnest eyes, Koyanskaya was stunned for a moment. Then, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, which was filled with astonishment.

“A new ‘meaning’? To be given to me by a ‘human’?” Her voice was hoarse and full of self-mockery. “What a ridiculous idea.”

She struggled, trying to draw even the slightest bit of resentment from that revitalizing land, but all she received in response was the fragrance of grass and the rhythm of life.

"Stop with your cheap sympathy, Tohsaka Yu!" She glared at the boy as if she wanted to devour him alive. "You humans will never change! Today you can let billions of lives on this land vanish in the name of so-called 'science,' or even just a 'mistake'! Tomorrow you will sacrifice even more for 'profit,' for 'progress,' or for any reason that seems high-sounding to you!"

"You want me to witness it? I already knew the ending! It's an endless, new tragedy!"

Her words were full of aggression and sarcasm, her gaze fixed on the boy's eyes, as if trying to see the anger in his eyes after she exposed the truth.

"……you're right."

However, Tohsaka Yu's answer completely surprised Koyanskaya.

He did not refute her accusations; instead, he calmly acknowledged them.

"Humans are indeed such foolish, selfish, and hopeless creatures." He looked at Koyanskaya, his eyes devoid of any falsehood. "But..."

"Humans also shed tears for lost lives, risk their lives to protect what is important, and reach out to you, who should be their enemy, just like now."

“I cannot guarantee you that the future of ‘human reason’ will become a perfect world without sorrow. But I promise you that as long as you are with me, I will never let the tragedy of Tunguska repeat itself before my eyes.”

"Your hatred, your sorrow, I will bear them all. So..."

His hand moved forward, a little closer.

"Use your eyes to supervise me, to supervise 'human reason'. This is the new 'meaning' I can give you."

"..."

Silence filled the space between the two. Gao Yangskaya's cold, beastly eyes were fixed on Tohsaka Yu, as if she wanted to see right through his soul.

After a long silence, she suddenly let out a cold laugh that was incredibly complex.

In that laughter, there was resentment, self-mockery, madness, and even a hint of relief that she herself hadn't noticed.

Under Yu Tohsaka's gaze, her enormous beast-like body gradually dissipated into specks of light, transforming back into her sexy and alluring human form, clad in a tattered school uniform.

Then, she reached out and took Tohsaka Yu's hand.

Her hands were so cold they had no warmth at all.

"You'll regret this... Tohsaka Yu." She raised her head, and that dangerous and alluring smile returned to her stunningly beautiful face as she spoke softly.
