The Spear of Death that Pierces Through has the characteristic of being inevitable and fatal.

It penetrated Naraku's chest in an instant.

However, Naraku did not die; most of his flesh disappeared, revealing a hole that was now surging with more flesh to mend the wound.

As long as he wears the Shikon Jewel, he remains an immortal existence.

Naraku looked down, wanting to continue controlling the Dread Emperor to end this absurd farce.

The Dread Emperor, charging rapidly, suddenly halted its movements.

Naraku's lips curled into a smile, but a strong impact came from beneath his feet. When he looked down, he realized the Dread Emperor hadn't stopped at all.

Was it an illusion just now?!

The Will-o'-the-wisp Ability could actually influence him!!

Naraku's face was full of astonishment.

With the Shikon Jewel, he shouldn't be affected by the Will-o'-the-wisp; could it be that on their first encounter, Aozawa still had a trick up his sleeve?

Thinking of that person, Naraku seemed to see a hint of mockery on the other's face, "When did you have the illusion that you were immune to the Will-o'-the-wisp?"

That bastard!

Naraku forcefully pulled his thoughts back, trying to use the Shikon Jewel to stop the Dread Emperor, but his feet were already embedded in the Dread Emperor's head.

A torrent of noise, formed by countless static, surged from the Dread Emperor's insides into Naraku's brain.

At this moment, he felt every cell in his body screaming in agony.

Naraku struggled to remain conscious in this torrent of sound, but such a brief delay also allowed his body to be completely swallowed by the Dread Emperor.

A stronger static noise drowned out all of Naraku's rationality.

...

Thud!

A strong heartbeat echoed from within the Dread Emperor, shaking the heavens and earth.

Devouring Naraku, devouring the Shikon Jewel, allowed the Dread Emperor's previous injuries to instantly heal. Its enormous body once again swelled with masses of flesh.

The Dread Emperor wanted to evolve and grow larger once more.

Aozawa witnessed this scene and shouted, "Iroha, quickly throw the Death Soaring Spear!"

The shout resonated in the air.

Below, Ayatsuki Ayaka had just grasped the Spear of Death that Pierces Through. Hearing these words, she didn't hesitate, directly aiming at the Dread Emperor's crown and throwing it.

She believed that if Aozawa said so, there must be a reason.

And all she needed to do was follow through.

A streak of crimson light flashed across the sky.

Aozawa quickly deactivated the Infinity Big ability, and his body suddenly shrank to a normal size, plummeting downwards.

"Shouko!"

Hojo Shouko heard his call and immediately understood his intention. She swiftly used the Heavenly Lock to entwine his body, flinging him towards the Spear of Death that Pierces Through.

Aozawa reached out and grabbed the shaft of the spear, then activated the Infinity Big ability.

In an instant, the previously two-meter-long Spear of Death that Pierces Through expanded into a gigantic Noble Phantasm over two thousand meters long!

"Wow!!"

Ayatsuki Ayaka was so astonished that her mouth hung open, her tanned cheeks full of excitement.

The strategists at the command center were even more dumbfounded; wasn't this an illusion caused by the Will-o'-the-wisp?!

Boom!

The sonic boom of the air had been loud enough, yet now it seemed as if the terrifying soundwaves might shatter eardrums and tear everything apart.

The Dread Emperor, still in an evolutionary state, had no reaction. The inflating mass of flesh thrust right into the spear's tip.

Silently, the flesh was annihilated.

Anything struck by the Spear of Death that Pierces Through, whether a person or an object, faced annihilation.

The Spear of Death that Pierces Through pierced through the Dread Emperor's body, directly obliterating most of his body along with the swallowed Shikon Jewel into ashes unseen by the naked eye.

Only a pair of legs remained standing on the ground.

Tsunami-like blood gushed out from the severed end.

This scene shocked everyone!

Time seemed to freeze for two or three seconds at this moment.

Even Ayatsuki Ayaka stood dumbfounded on the spot.

"Haha, great, with Aozawa and I, we're invincible!"

Hands on her hips, she instantly felt incredibly awesome!

The Spear of Death that Pierces Through shrank back down to its normal size and flew back.

After a brief shock, King Vestalia quickly commanded powerful lightning to strike the Dread Emperor's severed leg, "Don't give it a chance to resurrect; it must be completely annihilated!"

Fierce lightning first struck the Dread Emperor's right leg.

The crackling thunder directly evaporated the tsunami-like blood, scorching the flesh into a charred state.

The surviving Treasure Users awoke, and nobody hesitated.

Morimoto Chiyoda summoned ten Bone Giants again, charging forward with large strides, and swung their swords at the Dread Emperor's left leg.

Hojo Tetsuji, Sunaga Takashi, Li Quangui, Arakawa Reina, Phoenix Academy Maggie, and others all exerted their full strength, attacking the Dread Emperor's two legs, determined to utterly destroy the remaining flesh.

Not even a single drop of blood should remain, so they could be truly at ease.

...

Crystal threads sliced through the air, and Arakawa Reina, from hundreds of meters away, used her Noble Phantasm to slice the Dread Emperor's leg muscle into slices, thin as Lan Zhou beef noodle slices.

A surge of lightning struck down; a gentle silver-white light suddenly emerged, and floating within the light was a newborn-looking infant.

However, unlike most infants, his skin was smooth and fair without wrinkles.

All of their attacks were blocked by the silver-white light, as if a silver moon had appeared there.

This anomaly instantly heightened the tension among the strategists and left the Treasure Users present looking bewildered.

Phoenix Academy Maggie gulped, watching this sight, her mind picturing those huge bosses in comics that would often become especially small upon entering the second stage.

Had the Dread Emperor evolved?

While she contemplated this, Aozawa secretly activated the Gamification ability, and a small crack appeared in the sky, followed by the emergence of golden light.

In the golden light, people vaguely saw a humanoid figure, and judging by the height, it should be Dio.

Phoenix Academy Maggie looked up, watching the golden light clashing with the silver light.

What does this mean?

A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes—who was the child enveloped in silver light?

From the looks of it, he seemed to be acquainted with Dio.

And the infant within the silver light opened his eyes, his lips seemingly moved, but the people present couldn't hear what he said.

Dio also appeared to say something.

Emily strained her ears to hear clearly, but she caught nothing.

Only after the silver light vanished did Dio's voice appear in her mind, "Good, you did not disappoint me."

Obviously, this "you" wasn't referring to her, and Emily was well aware. She instinctively gazed into the distance.

From there, she couldn't see Aozawa's whereabouts.

But Emily could guess that Dio's words were likely directed at Aozawa.

The matter of enlarging the Treasure wasn't what she thought was caused by the Will-o'-the-wisp; it was a real event.

This raised an inexplicable question.

The Will-o'-the-wisp Ability was supposed to be about manipulating the five senses.

How was Aozawa able to grow and enlarge the Spear of Death that Pierces Through?

Various thoughts flickered through Emily's mind, and she decided to interrogate Morimoto Chiyoda thoroughly later.

That person was definitely hiding something from her.

"With this war over, the barrier between the two worlds will also be reinforced and repaired. You can return now."

Dio's words made Emily look up, shouting from a distance, "What about the dead?"

"They will walk out of the Spirit Hall and return to your side."

Dio answered Emily's question, and the golden light that belonged to him gradually faded from this world, "Do not linger too long; return immediately."

With those words, the golden light of Dio completely disappeared.

The night returned to tranquility, with no more rumbling sounds, only a landscape altered by the battle.

Emily let out a long sigh, sat down on the ground without any regard for her image, looked up at the starry sky with a small smile, and said, "Haha, we won! I can finally go back!"

In just a few short days, it felt as if years had passed for her.

Now everything was over.

She could finally enjoy leisurely sipping tea, eating cake, and experiencing the conveniences of the city, without the constant need to calculate various things.

As for interrogating Morimoto Chiyoda, Emily thought there was no rush; the priority was to enjoy the victory!
