I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 440 - 89: Learning to Love

She should have anticipated this outcome, but she kept holding onto hope for Tian En, which led her to ask a few more questions.

But now it seems that the conflict can only end upon the blade of a sword.

Swish—!

Without saying anything unnecessary, Yun You struck with a single blade, the blood-red flash piercing through the corridor of the courtyard, heading straight for Tian En.

Having the identity of a Juror, the little girl could ignore the rule in the space that "casters can't be harmed."

Tian En slightly furrowed her brows, raised a chain to block, but the once sturdy chains were haphazardly shattered by the blade flash, forcing her to tilt her head to barely dodge the blow.

However, the blade flash was a mere feint from Yun You.

As Tian En dodged, a phantom mysteriously appeared behind her, wielding a shadow blade identical to the Red Scale Giant Blade, and mercilessly slashed across the girl's back!

Splurt!

In an instant, skin split open and flesh flew.

A wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on Tian En's back.

She groaned in pain, but didn't understand how Yun You had managed to strike.

Yun You emotionlessly sheathed her blade, and the phantom disappeared with it.

The Phantom Blade Man, an inherent ability of the Red Scale Blade Form.

Consumes one percent of physical strength to summon a blood-colored phantom resembling Yun You, delivering a full-force strike on the target.

The effect is simple, yet extremely dominant.

Because it's silent and unnoticed, the enemy cannot guard against it.

When "Special Ability" becomes ineffective, melee-type Death Gods have an overwhelming advantage over caster-type Death Gods.

The Red Scale Giant Blade magnifies this advantage to unimaginable proportions.

It can be said that from the moment Yun You was declared "innocent," this battle between Death Gods was without suspense.

And indeed, that's the case.

The wound on Tian En's back bled profusely, and the sudden loss of blood caused her face to pale considerably.

In just a moment, she could no longer maintain the operation of the Blood Scale Rose Court.

Yun You had previously speculated that Cyberspace is inherently an ability, and maintaining its energy must consume an unimaginable amount of physical strength.

A severely injured person simply cannot bear such a drain.

So very soon, the colorful Rose Court space began to collapse.

The scales turned to a blue-grey, and the thorny roses wilted quickly, the spatial barriers shattered like pieces of glass, finally dissolving into nothingness.

Everyone returned to the broken camp.

"Little En... Little En..."

Seeing Tian En's constantly trembling body, Mokaka instinctively reached out, wanting to support Tian En.

Even though Tian En had just attacked her, in the end... seeing the girl who once cared for her meticulously now hurt to this extent, Mokaka felt a bit heartbroken.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that as long as Tian En was willing to call her "Mokaka-sama" again, or gave her a pleading look, she would rush to bandage Tian En, to sacrifice for her...

Yet, from beginning to end, Tian En didn't utter a single word for help, she just silently glanced at her and sighed softly.

"You lost, Little En."

Yun You said calmly, "There's no point in resisting further, stop now."

"..."

Tian En was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head.

"No."

"I will not lose."

"Even if it means death, I will not stop."

With that, she suddenly closed her eyes, and a layer of blue light appeared over her body.

"Sur Particles Light?!"

Yun You's pupils constricted, instantly recognizing the source of the light!

Ever since the Karma Remnant Buddha appeared, the Sur Particle Suppressor on the Floating Island had malfunctioned, meaning all Apprentice Death Gods could use their Talent Abilities.

Naturally, Tian En was no exception.

With the activation of her Talent Ability, her body became transparent in one-thousandth of a second...

Though Yun You reached immediately to grasp her, in the end, she clutched at nothing.

Tian En transformed into specks of light in the wind, vanished without a trace, leaving just a slip of paper floating in the air...

[A quantum-type Talent Ability, allowing the user to enter a quantum state for a short period, completely undetectable to the naked eye]

Master Zero recognized this Talent.

"Damn... I was a bit careless!"

Yun You bit her tongue lightly, cursing at herself in her heart.

[Don't blame yourself, Yun Zai]

Master Zero gently shook his head.

[The activation speed of Talent Abilities exceeds any technique, as long as she has the ability to quantumize, there is nothing you could do to stop her escape]

[The real mistake is hers; she certainly didn't expect to be injured by you, because even if she uses quantumization to escape, she will leave a trail of blood on the ground, just follow the blood trail to find her]

[She's badly hurt; she won't get far]

Upon hearing this, Yun You's agitated heart calmed a little.

Yes, given Tian En's severe injuries, she couldn't have fled far. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

As long as they find her before the Karma Remnant Buddha completely destroys the Floating Island, all might still be salvageable.

"Yuanbao, Mokaka, you guys..."

Yun You turned her head, just about to give instructions, only to see Mokaka staring at a piece of paper in front of her in a daze.

This was the slip Tian En had left behind, the words on it were Tian En's final message for Mokaka.

Though peering like this isn't a great habit, Yun You couldn't resist her curiosity and glanced sneakily.

[Vivian Hugo, my little cousin by blood]

[A person's life involves many major choices, and the most important among them is the selection concerning "ideals"]

[It will become the largest goal in a person's life and the motivation to move forward]

[Aspiring to be a "revolutionary," or rather a reformist, is a commendable ideal. It certainly deserves encouragement and support]

[That is why, upon hearing your desire to become a "revolutionary leader," I chose to remain by your side, rather than act against you]

[We cannot choose our innate birth, but our later life can be altered according to our wishes, shaped by our own hands]

[Thus I believed back then, that even though you were born into a noble family, enjoying luxuries unattainable to most even in several lifetimes, if you have the heart, you can still be an excellent leader]

[But later, I discovered I was wrong. You aren't sincerely trying to change anything, you simply found "revolution," originally a solemn affair, to be fun and interesting, which is why you, seeking novelty, dove into revolution]

[You always proclaim to be a revolutionary, mentioning "changing the entire Nest City" all the time, but you never truly cared about the people around you]

[Do you know why those common people respect you daily, regard you as a God, but abandon you at the crucial moment of life and death?]

[It's actually just due to a small detail—you never dined with them]

[Sure, you distributed the stipulated food, allowing them to fill their bellies, but while they gnawed on compressed rations, you were on the side enjoying smuggled steak and lobster. This has never been the demeanor of a qualified leader]

[So they believe you're not a leader, but an "observer" on the Supreme Heaven, an "outsider" to them]

[You never observed their genuine needs, never asked for their thoughts, never cared for others, myself included]

[You love no one, you just treat those you aim to protect as "NPCs" in a game, carrying out an interesting task]

[As those common people previously stated, essentially, it's just a transaction between you and them, you provide order and physical security, while they offer flattery and the respect you require]

[This is definitely not a normal revolutionary friendship]

[Do you realize now where you went wrong? Your flaw lies in your mindset. You think you're leading a glorious revolution, but in reality, everyone knows it's just a little lady's make-believe game]

[Lastly, let me give you a suggestion]

[If you truly wish to be a genuine leader rather than an actor showing off, then...]

[Don't just speak in grand philosophies or always mention revolution; rather, truly learn to care for each tangible "person," cherish and treat them kindly]

[Whether you become Vivian Hugo or the "Mokaka" of your ideals, the choice is yours to make]
