Fear, like the most sinister ghost in the night, silently crept into his heart, making his heart beat faster as if it would burst out of his chest; anger, like a raging, uncontrollable fire, spread wildly in his chest, its scorching flames almost breaking through the cage of his reason and devouring him; greed, like a venomous snake hidden in endless shadows, flicked its tongue, exuding a nauseating stench, tempting him towards the abyss of depravity.
The dark side that he had long suppressed in his heart, like a demon awakened, stirred within him, baring its fangs and claws, trying to break free of its restraints, control his soul, and drag him into an abyss of no return.
During a brief lull in the battle, Cao Yu's thoughts involuntarily descended into endless chaos.
He felt as if he were in a dark, misty forest, surrounded by a thick, almost impenetrable fog, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
The road ahead was shrouded in thick fog, with no light in sight and no direction to be found.
He wandered aimlessly in the darkness, like a lost traveler, constantly asking himself: Why is his power from the same source as this evil power? Is it possible that, from the very beginning, he has an inextricable connection with evil? If so, is the justice he has always upheld (Wang's Zhao) just an illusion? Have all his efforts been nothing but self-deception? These questions, like sharp thorns, relentlessly pierced his heart, plunging him into deep self-doubt and painful struggle, as if he were trapped in a dark vortex from which he could not escape.
Meanwhile, the ancient organization's sinister power is growing at a chilling pace, driven almost to madness by its mysterious allies.
Chapter 302 A Nightmare of Despair
In the sky, the darkness was like a huge, black boulder that blotted out the sun, pressing heavily on everyone's heads, as if it would collapse at any moment, crushing the entire world to dust and turning everything in it into powder under its oppressive weight.
On the ground, black cracks, like ferocious giant pythons, were spreading wildly, mercilessly destroying everything in their path.
The incredibly sturdy building collapsed with a roar under the powerful tearing force of the crack, raising clouds of dust and turning into a ruin of broken walls; the lush trees withered instantly under the demonic encroachment of darkness, their vitality vanished, turning into a pile of lifeless dead branches and leaves.
Tokyo, a once bustling and vibrant city full of hope, is now teetering on the brink of collapse under the ravages of this evil force. It is like a frail, terminally ill old man about to be completely swallowed by darkness, and all the beauty will vanish into nothingness.
Cao Yu knew that if he wanted to completely destroy this evil force, save Tokyo, and save the whole world, he had to find a way to cut off its source of power at its root.
Based on his extremely keen perception of this shared power, a terrifying thought gradually took shape in his mind—perhaps he would need to sacrifice himself to complete this arduous and great mission that concerned the survival of the world.
This idea was like a cold, chilling, and despairing nightmare, clinging tightly to Cao Yu, making it impossible for him to break free.
He was caught in an extreme inner struggle, as if he were in an endless dark abyss, torn between two choices and suffering greatly.
On the one hand, he was filled with a deep affection for this world. (acae)
He couldn't bear to part with his comrades who had fought alongside him and shared life and death. Their smiles were like the warm spring sun, warming his heart; their trust was like a sturdy shield, giving him strength; their support was like a solid backing, making him fearless. All of these were like brilliant starlight, illuminating his life's journey.
He couldn't bear to leave this vibrant and hopeful city. Every street here bore the marks of his footsteps, every building carried his memories, and every corner exuded the breath of life.
He was even more reluctant to part with those who trusted and depended on him. Their eyes were filled with expectation and hope for him, which was the driving force behind his protection. He longed to continue protecting them, watching them live happily, and letting smiles forever bloom on their faces.
On the other hand, he was also deeply aware of the immense responsibility he bore, as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on his shoulders.
If he had not made this sacrifice, the world would have been plunged into an abyss of no return, countless lives would have been lost in darkness, the beautiful world would have been reduced to ruins, justice would have been buried, and darkness would have forever shrouded the earth.
Amidst this inner torment, Cao Yu's eyes began to wander, and his once unwavering gaze was gradually replaced by pain and struggle.
His attacks gradually lost their former sharpness, his movements became slow and weak, as if every move had exhausted all his strength.
His body was wounded in many places by the enemy's attack, and blood stained his clothes, flowing down his body and pooling on the ground into a dark red stain, which looked like blooming spider lilies, a shocking sight.
But he seemed oblivious, mechanically resisting the enemy's attack, his thoughts already wandering far away, immersed in the painful struggle within, as if isolated from everything outside.
Just as Cao Yu was sinking into the abyss of despair and struggle, almost being completely swallowed by darkness, Amuro Tooru, Conan and others keenly noticed his abnormality.
They knew that Cao Yu was facing a tremendous predicament, one that might determine the course of the entire war and even the fate of the world. It was like a crucial weight on a scale; a slight misstep could plunge the world into utter ruin.
Amuro Tooru deftly dodged the enemy's dense, overwhelming attacks, his agile figure like a shooting star in the night sky, while shouting Cao Yu's name loudly. His voice was firm and powerful, like a thunderclap in the darkness, carrying a heart-stirring force that instantly pierced through the fog in Cao Yu's heart: "Cao Yu! Cheer up! We believe in you! You can definitely find a way! You are our hope, the hope of this world! You bear the mission of saving the world, and we are all with you!"
Chapter 303 Rushing forward without hesitation
Conan anxiously called out from the side, his voice trembling slightly with worry, but the trust and encouragement within it were unwavering, like an inextinguishable lighthouse in the darkness: "Cao Yu, don't give up! We are a team, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together! You are not fighting alone! We will fight alongside you until the very last moment! We believe you have the ability to overcome all difficulties, you can definitely do it!" His words, full of trust and encouragement, were like warm sunshine, shining on Cao Yu's almost frozen heart, allowing him to feel a glimmer of warmth and strength, as if he had seen a ray of dawn in the darkness.
While fighting the enemy, Vermouth gazed at Cao Yu with her calm and firm eyes and said loudly, "Cao Yu, you have a mission on your shoulders. This mission belongs not only to you, but also to all of us."
We believe you have the ability to make the right choice, and we will always support you! Whatever decision you make, we are with you! We are one, fighting together for justice! Her voice was like a celestial melody in the night sky, though it sounded somewhat faint amidst the fierce battle, it resonated in Cao Yu's heart like a great bell.
Although the special police officers did not speak, their firm gazes and valiant fighting figures conveyed an unparalleled trust and support to Cao Yu, like a silent vow.
Their eyes revealed a determination to die for their cause, and their figures moved among the enemy like an unbreakable steel defense line.
They showed Cao Yu through their actions that they were willing to live and die with him and protect the world together. For justice, they would never back down, and even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, they would rush forward without hesitation.
The trust and friendship of his companions were like a lighthouse in the darkness, illuminating Cao Yu's path forward.
Their words and eyes, like a warm spring breeze, dispelled the gloom in Cao Yu's heart and allowed him to rediscover his firm belief.
Cao Yu slowly raised his head, the confusion in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by an unprecedented determination. That determined gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness and reach the other side of light.
He knew he couldn't betray his partners' trust, and he couldn't let the world fall into darkness.
He took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to gather all his strength and determination, and made a decision in his heart—to use himself as a vessel to seal away this evil power.
Cao Yu concentrated all his strength, gathering all his energy in his palm.
A bright light shimmered around his body, like the dawn breaking through the heavy shackles of darkness, creating a stark contrast with the inky blackness around him.
This light symbolizes hope and justice, as if declaring a fearless challenge to the darkness and conveying the belief in victory to the world.
He walked steadily toward the center of that evil force, each step seemingly using all his strength, as if each step was on his lifeline, each step filled with determination and resolve.

The leader of the ancient organization and the mysterious ally saw Cao Yu's actions and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
They knew Cao Yu's purpose and tried to stop him, but Amuro Tooru, Conan, and the others wouldn't let them succeed.
Like guardian angels, they quickly stood in front of Cao Yu and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.
With his superb fighting skills, Amuro Tooru moved through the enemy like a black lightning bolt, his speed dazzling.
Every strike he made accurately hit the enemy's vital points, and the enemies fell to the ground one after another under his attack, like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
Conan, using his intelligence, skillfully directs the special police to exploit the enemy's weaknesses and launch targeted attacks.
Like a general strategizing, he observed the enemy's formation, searched for weaknesses, and then directed the public security special police to launch an attack, catching the enemy off guard.
The public security special police worked closely together, like an iron wall, blocking the enemy's attack. Their figures appeared so tall and firm in the midst of the battle.
Vermouth is like a deadly black rose, dancing among her enemies, her blade gleaming coldly, each swing taking a life.
Her movements were elegant yet deadly; her enemies were like fragile puppets before her, utterly helpless and left only to await their deaths in fear.
They risked their lives to buy precious time for Cao Yu; every second was a life-or-death ordeal.
Chapter 304 Continuing to Wreak Havoc on the World
Cao Yu finally arrived at the heart of the evil forces.
He took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to draw in all the courage in the world, and slowly opened his arms, as if embracing the whole world, to take in that evil power.
Instantly, a powerful and icy force surged into his body like a raging torrent, as if it were about to tear his body apart completely, and every inch of his skin was enduring immense pain.
He felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his meridians at the same time, causing unbearable pain. It was as if every inch of his skin was being tortured in hell. The pain was like being in the eighteenth level of hell, making it impossible to live or die.
But he gritted his teeth, which seemed to be made of steel, and with unwavering willpower, he endured the excruciating pain.
His face was filled with determination, a determination that seemed like a declaration of war against evil. His eyes shone with an indomitable light. He knew he could not give up. For the world, for his companions, he had to persevere, even at the cost of his life.
Evil forces raged wildly within Cao Yu's body, attempting to break free and continue to wreak havoc on the world.
Cao Yu's body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, and black lines appeared on his skin, like evil tentacles, trying to devour him completely.
These black lines continued to spread, as if trying to dye his body and soul black, making him a part of the darkness.
But Cao Yu's belief was as firm as steel. He continuously mobilized the power within his body and engaged in a thrilling battle against this evil force.
His heart was like a fierce battlefield, where justice and evil fought to the death, every second filled with life-or-death tests, and every moment concerned the fate of the world.
While Cao Yu was fiercely battling against the evil forces, the battle outside was also reaching its climax.
With his superb fighting skills, Amuro Tooru moved through the enemy like a black lightning bolt, each strike precisely hitting the enemy's vital points.
His figure flickered among the enemies like a ghost; they could not see his movements at all and could only fall down under his attacks, groaning in pain.
Conan, using his intelligence, skillfully directs the special police to exploit the enemy's weaknesses and launch targeted attacks.
He observed the enemy's formation like a wise sage, searching for weaknesses, and then directed the special police to launch an attack, catching the enemy off guard.
The public security special police worked closely together, their actions like a precise machine, launching an orderly attack on the enemy and throwing them into chaos.
Vermouth is like a deadly black rose, dancing among her enemies, her blade gleaming coldly, each swing taking a life.
Her movements were elegant yet deadly; her enemies were like fragile puppets before her, utterly vulnerable.
Her every glance seemed to pierce the enemy's fear, and every move she made carried a chilling beauty.
As Cao Yu's sealing of the evil forces deepened, the darkness in the sky began to dissipate, and sunlight, like a golden sword, pierced through the clouds and shone upon this long-suffering land.
Where the sunlight reaches, darkness gradually recedes, and light returns.
The black cracks on the ground gradually healed, as if Mother Earth was slowly repairing her injured body.
The destroyed buildings began to recover, the bricks and stones seemed to regain their life, gradually piecing themselves together to restore their former glory.
The flowers have bloomed again, their colorful petals swaying gently in the breeze, releasing a captivating fragrance.
The trees sprouted new buds, and the tender green shoots grew vigorously under the sunlight, showing great vitality.
The birds sang again, their clear songs echoing in the air, as if cheering for this reborn world.
Everything is regaining its vitality, as if the darkness had never descended.
However, the suffering Cao Yu endured grew increasingly immense.
His consciousness began to blur, and images of the past appeared before his eyes—scenes of fighting side by side with his comrades, facing difficulties together, defeating enemies together, and the trust and support between them made him feel incredibly warm.
They shed sweat together on the battlefield and fought for justice together. Those memories are like precious treasures, deeply imprinted in his heart.
The bustling streets of Tokyo are filled with laughter and joy, and life is full of hope and beauty.
Chapter 305 Feeling both relieved and worried
The streets were bustling with pedestrians and lined with shops. The aroma of various delicacies filled the air—the scent of the city he loved.
The happy smiles of people are what he has always protected and what his belief is.
The innocent laughter of children, the kind faces of the elderly, and the sweet smiles of couples—these images, like warm flames, sustained his last bit of will, allowing him to persevere through the pain and never give up, becoming the driving force behind his struggle against the forces of evil.
Just as Cao Yu was about to lose consciousness, he used his last bit of strength to successfully seal the evil power within his body.
As the last trace of evil power was sealed away, Cao Yu's body slowly collapsed, and he fell into a coma.
His body fell gently like a withered leaf, as if he had used up all his strength.
His face showed a hint of fatigue, but even more so a sense of relief, because he knew he had succeeded and had protected this world.
Amuro Tooru, Conan, and the others felt both relieved and worried when they saw Cao Yu successfully seal the evil force.
They quickly dealt with the remaining enemies and rushed to Cao Yu's side.
Amuro Tooru gently picked up Cao Yu, looking at his pale face with concern and heartache in his eyes. His voice trembled as he said, "Cao Yu, you must hold on! We can't live without you! You are our hero, a hero of this world! You have made a huge sacrifice for us, and we will definitely find a way to wake you up!"
Conan anxiously examined Cao Yu's injuries and said, "He's just unconscious, but he's still breathing."
We must find a safe place for him to rest as soon as possible; perhaps there is still hope that he will wake up.
We can't give up, we must find a way to save him! No matter the cost, we must wake him up!
Vermouth and the special police officers surrounded them, their eyes filled with worry and prayer.
They knew all too well that Cao Yu had paid a heavy price to save the world.
They prayed silently, hoping that Cao Yu would wake up soon and fight alongside them again.
Chapter 306 New Hope
After Cao Yu successfully sealed the evil power, it was as if the strings of his life had suddenly snapped. His body, like a puppet without a soul, slowly and weakly collapsed, falling into a deep and unfathomable slumber.
His face was as white as the purest snow in winter, without a trace of blood, as if a merciless storm had drained all his vitality, and every inch of his skin was a heartbreaking paleness.
His breath was so faint, like a wisp of smoke floating in the air, so fragile that it seemed it would vanish without a trace with the slightest breeze.
However, in his tightly closed eyes, there was a hint of unwavering determination, like a stubbornly shining cold star in the night sky, still fighting tenaciously against the dark power hidden within him even in his deep sleep.
The ancient organization, having lost its leader and the crucial, incomparably powerful evil force that sustained it, collapsed in an instant, like a building constructed of playing cards.
Those who had once served the ancient organization wholeheartedly were like startled birds, fleeing in panic as the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.
Without the protection of evil forces, they instantly transformed from arrogant villains into stray dogs. Their former arrogance and domineering attitude vanished, leaving only fear and despair, like a heavy gloom shrouding their hearts.
After realizing the change in the situation, the police quickly and decisively launched a large-scale manhunt and crackdown operation.
Under the iron fist of powerful justice, the remnants of the ancient organization were brought to justice one after another. The evil shadow that had once loomed over the city like a thick haze finally dissipated like the morning mist. The long-awaited sunlight began to penetrate the layers of clouds and gently shine on this land that had suffered so much, bringing a glimmer of hope for the city's rebirth.
Meanwhile, the mysterious ally, an ambitious schemer who sought to dominate the world by stealing evil power, is now suffering the excruciating pain of the terrifying backlash from that power.
His body, under the brutal and merciless onslaught of evil forces, was like clay being mercilessly manipulated by a demon, constantly twisting and deforming.
His skin peeled away inch by inch, as if torn apart by an invisible and cruel hand, revealing stark white bones. Each bone seemed to be emitting a painful wail, telling of his sins and despair.
