"receive."

On the rooftop of a distant building, Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka exchanged a glance, both seeing an unprecedented solemnity and determination in each other's eyes.

They no longer hesitated.

Yukino quickly formed hand seals, and a chilling aura spread out from her like an invisible storm.

"I declare that in this world, logic serves my purpose. All unconventional movements will be corrected..."

An invisible domain unfolded instantly, like a giant chessboard made of cold laws.

The particles in the air began to align themselves according to a completely new order defined by Yukino. Any attempt to make spatial jumps or move at supersonic speeds would be forcibly slowed down and deflected by this powerful "corrective force," as if they were stuck in a sticky swamp.

This is an attempt to use "rules" to interfere with Kurumi's unreasonable speed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha activated her Word of Power once more, her beautiful wine-red eyes gleaming with wisdom and cunning.

“I say, your future is shrouded in mist, and you cannot see a clear path.”

【Words of Power: Playwright】

This is a more advanced application, no longer a simple physical command, but an attempt to use "concepts" to directly affect Kurumi's abilities themselves.

She wanted to use her own script to confuse the other person's terrifying vision of the future, forcibly covering the future she saw with an impenetrable shadow filled with countless wrong options.

One restricts movement, the other disrupts foresight. This double blockade, a veritable inescapable net, would be incredibly troublesome for any S-class opponent.

"Hehe...what an adorable struggle."

Kurumi, who was at the center of the blockade, looked at the invisible shackles surging towards her from all directions and the mist that tried to blind her, and a smile that was almost pity appeared on her face.

"What use are you tiny variables in the face of the absolute future?"

Her figure flashed by again.

This time, her movements became extremely unpredictable. It was as if she knew in advance the weaknesses of every "rule" in the domain, and each step she took landed precisely on the gaps in the laws.

Her movements defied all physical logic, yet perfectly avoided all corrective forces, like an elf walking through a torrent, effortlessly passing through Yukino and Utaha's seemingly perfect double blockade.

Then, like a ghost, it appeared again behind Su Chen, who was searching for the fighter jet again.

The cold muzzle of the gun was less than a centimeter away from his back.

"It's a checkmate, Mr. Su Chen."

"..."

Su Chen froze on the spot, he could clearly feel the bone-chilling coldness coming from the muzzle of the gun behind him.

He looked at the Time Witch who had manipulated the entire team, at her elegant yet ruthless demeanor, radiating an air of absolute confidence.

His indomitable fighting spirit, at this moment, in this desperate situation, burned fiercely and completely.

He slowly, very slowly turned around, and the solemn expression on his face gradually disappeared.

Instead.

It was a gambler's smile, full of madness and determination, as if he were betting everything on the table.

He looked at Kurumi, who was so close to him, and could even see his own reflection in her golden clock eyes.

He shook his head and said slowly, in a tone filled with pity and mockery:

"I saw the 'future'."

"That doesn't mean it."

"You can change your 'fate'."

Chapter 134 The Fate of Deletion

"change destiny?"

Kurumi Tokisaki looked at the man in front of her who was still talking nonsense even though she had driven him to the brink of despair, and laughed.

That smile was filled with a supreme pity and pleasure, as if watching a clown's final struggle.

It was an almost cruel elegance, a confidence born from absolute information asymmetry.

"Mr. Su Chen, haven't you figured out what kind of insurmountable chasm exists between us?"

"Now, you are standing before my eyes, which can see the future..." She stretched out her slender, fair finger and gently touched her left eye.

The golden clock, hidden by her soft black bangs, seemed to flicker ominously, in sync with her heartbeat, emitting a chilling, causal light.

"Just like a lab rat locked in a transparent glass box."

She didn't move, but stood there quietly, staring at Su Chen with an emotionless gaze.

Her voice was steady and clear, like a deity proclaiming a predetermined outcome.

"Every movement you make, every breath you take, even how many times your heart will beat faster due to tension, and how many percent your blood flow will increase as a result..."

She declared, word by word, 19, each word like a nail, nailing Su Chen to the cross called "future."

"I've already observed everything clearly."

"Look, you're trying to activate your golden Stand, aren't you? But you dare not, because you know my bullet will arrive before you can complete the summoning..."

Every word she said struck a chord with Su Chen's deepest thoughts.

That feeling of powerlessness—that sense of having one's thinking completely seen through and all avenues blocked—is like the pressure of deep-sea water, squeezing in from all directions.

"A person whose thoughts I can see right through. An actor whose every action is within my script."

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes filled with pure, childlike curiosity.

"What gives you the right to talk to me about fate?"

"Just because..."

Looking at the confident smile on her face, Su Chen slowly raised his right hand.

Throughout the entire process, he remained calm and unhurried, as if he were raising not a hand, but the final note of an era about to draw to a close.

"I can see further than you."

"Ok?"

Kurumi's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She didn't understand what that sentence meant.

Seeing further? Before these eyes that can gaze straight to the end of the river of time, what could possibly be "further"?

But her "Twelfth Bullet," which could be described as a divine prophecy, was frantically warning her at this moment.

This is not a typical danger signal.

Rather, it is a red alert of the highest level, like the end of the world, stemming from the denial of existence itself.

Danger!

An unprecedented, deadly crisis, capable of completely overturning and erasing the "future" she saw, relied on, and believed in, is approaching madly at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Without a second thought, her body instinctively prepared to unleash the "First Bullet" again, to create distance and re-examine this man who had become beyond her comprehension.

However, it's too late.

A more advanced, domineering, and unreasonable imperial rule than her vision of the future.

Came with a bang.

"KingCrimson".

Su Chen activated [King Crimson].

In that instant, within Tokisaki Kurumi's "future vision," which was filled with a sense of omniscience and omnipotence.

She saw it.

I saw what should have been an incredibly clear vision, a future comprised of countless interconnected causal chains, that belonged to the next ten seconds or so.

suddenly.

Like a computer program injected with a virus with the highest privilege level, it flickered, twisted, and crashed wildly.

Time, which should have been a continuous river, was forcibly cut off in her vision by an unseen giant hand.

All the images, all the sounds, all the causes and effects, vanished into nothingness in that truncated blank space.

Ultimately, the future she envisioned turned into an unknown and chaotic void.

"Nani?"

Kurumi's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of horror appeared on her usually elegant and composed face.

The brain went blank briefly due to receiving incomprehensible information.

This was a situation she had never encountered or even imagined since awakening the [Twelfth Bullet].

Her vision of the future...

It's no longer working!

In the real world...

Amidst the bewildered perceptions of Yukino, Utaha, Mai, and Megumi.

Time has flown by once again.

All they remembered was that just a second ago, Su Chen was engaged in some kind of profound philosophical debate with that terrifying time witch.

The next second, they found themselves unexpectedly transported to the future, a dozen seconds later.

I have no memory of what happened in the middle; it's as if a segment of my life was cut out of thin air.

But on the other side was the Time Witch, who had always been at ease, exuding composure and elegance.

Tokisaki Kurumi.

Without warning, he let out a muffled groan filled with pain and disbelief.

puff.

A deep, bone-revealing wound, as if ripped open from the inside by the sharpest scalpel, suddenly appeared on her back.

Crimson blood instantly stained her ornate and elaborate black gothic spirit dress, like a tragic and beautiful spider lily blooming in the night.

"..."

"..."

"What... just happened?"

On the rooftop, all the girls were stunned.

Their brains were completely unable to process the bizarre scene before them.

There was no attack, no action, no warning.

That powerful enemy, capable of foreseeing the future, was inexplicably and severely injured.

And in that time, which was completely erased by the emperor and beyond their comprehension—

Su Chen moved.

For those ten-odd seconds, he was in his own imperial domain.

He looked at Kurumi, who was momentarily stunned and bewildered due to the sudden malfunction of her future vision, and a ruthless smile, like that of a tyrant, appeared on his face.

He was like a god-slayer who had finally shed his disguise and entered the realm of the gods.

He strolled up behind her as if he were taking a leisurely walk in his own backyard.

That once intractable dead end that he found so difficult to navigate now seemed like an open door, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.

[Golden Experience] The 297 hand, brimming with the power of creation and rebirth, gently pressed against Kurumi's back, like a loving caress.

Then, a faint yet incredibly pure life energy was injected into her body.

Then--

Rampage.

That wisp of great energy, which should have been used to heal wounds and create life, instantly deviated from its original course under his will, going berserk and out of control.
