After all, this is my sister's friend.
Therefore, when Takamiya Mana sees Tobiichi Origami now, her heart skips a beat.
If she hadn't known it was Yalin's decision, she probably would have given up.
Mana doesn't dislike fighting, but not in this way.
She still wants to spend more time with her older sister.
"How's Origami Tobiichi's progress?" Yalin asked in a good mood as he listened to Mana Takamiya's complaints.
"Regarding combat, her progress has been quite rapid. She has already ranked third in DEM and is close to me in terms of strength."
To be honest, although the other party's growth was entirely built on her suffering.
"Boss..." The girl looked at Yalin expectantly.
"Don't worry, you'll be free once she defeats you."
"Really?" Takamiya Mana's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Although she said she wouldn't go easy on him because of this, she also wouldn't beat him up as fiercely as she usually would.
There was no way around it; I was just really annoyed by Origami Tobiichi.
“Go fight Origami Tobiichi again at your normal level, then notify her to carry out the mission,” Yalin said with a smile.
It's time to set a trap and lure the Angel of Extinction away from the phantom.
Volume 1: Chapter 146: Changing Fate (4k)
When Yalin watched Origami Tobiichi hobble into the office on crutches, a smirk appeared on his lips.
This final battle was far too intense; it's a miracle the branch wasn't destroyed by these two.
"Boss, please issue a mission."
Despite her injuries, Origami Tobiichi spoke meticulously, her eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement and tension.
"You won?" Seeing her like this, Yalin knew the result.
"We won by sheer luck." Origami Tobiichi nodded slightly.
Upon hearing that Yalin was summoning her to give her a mission, Origami Tobiichi immediately tensed up.
He was afraid that his abilities were insufficient to satisfy him, and that he would change his mind.
Therefore, in this battle, Origami Tobiichi gave it her all, even burning her life force to unleash power beyond her limits at the crucial moment, and finally defeated Mana Takamiya.
Only in this way will she have the opportunity to realize her wish.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Takamiya Mana's fighting spirit is not so strong today.
You're so badly wounded in battle and you're not taking proper care of yourself? You seem to be going too far.
Yalin stared at the white-haired girl whose wound was still bleeding, and he found it hard to contain his emotions.
However, this version of Origami Tobiichi would be perfect for fishing.
"In that case, I'm going to give you an extremely important task. You must succeed; failure is not an option."
Tobiichi, are you willing to accept this?
Yalin's tone wasn't harsh, but Origami Tobiichi's body straightened up involuntarily, her eyes filled with determination.
"Leave it to me, whatever the task may be, I will complete it."
This concerns her parents' resurrection, and she will never give up, no matter the cost.
"I admire your awareness," Yalin said with a smile, patting her shoulder.
"My mission is to help me set up a scheme to scam a lonely old elf."
Origami Tobiichi looked up in surprise and slowly typed: ?
.....
In the quiet park, Origami Tobiichi, her hands and feet bandaged, sat on a bench, her pretty face expressionless as she stared blankly at the sky, radiating a visible sense of despair and resentment.
Why can't we find that elf? Why are we so weak that we can't even take revenge?
Even if you sacrifice everything to gain power, you still can't achieve your goal; even Takamiya Mana can easily defeat you.
Those elves, however, were able to live peacefully without paying any price for the sins they had committed in the past.
As for Yalin, he was merely deceiving and exploiting her, and had no real intention of helping her take revenge.
What should she do in this situation?
Origami Tobiichi gazed at the sky, her pupils unfocused.
She doesn't believe in gods, but if gods or demons really exist in this world, she will accept any price as long as it helps her achieve her goal.
Origami Tobiichi knew that such thoughts did not align with her personality and were utterly foolish.
In this world, the only one who can truly help you is yourself.
But... the gap is too big.
Faced with Yalin, who had protected her, she had neither the opportunity nor the ability to seek revenge.
Even without Yalin, he was helpless against the elves with his own strength.
All the past efforts seem so insignificant now.
How can I get revenge?
In her moment of such hatred and despair, she heard a voice that could not be distinguished by gender or age.
"Hey, do you... want power?"
Huh?
Upon hearing the sudden sound, Origami Tobiichi's eyes widened as she warily looked around, only to find a humanoid mosaic standing at the source of the sound.
"What are you?" Despite being filled with disappointment and resentment, she maintained a basic level of vigilance.
"What I am is not important."
The key question is, do you crave power?
Do you yearn for unparalleled power, to be second to none?
The phantom chuckled, watching Tobiichi fold paper, a hint of pleasure seemingly emerging in its androgynous voice.
It was as if they were watching a great show about to begin.
Origami Tobiichi fell silent. Despite being wary of this unknown being, her words genuinely moved her.
When she was desperate, she was willing to try anything, even if it was a trap.
"I... want power! I want to defeat Yalin, clear away all obstacles, kill the elves, and finally achieve the strongest power to fulfill my long-cherished wish!"
As for the price, you can have whatever you want!
Origami Tobiichi said firmly.
Defeating the elves isn't difficult, but defeating Yalin?
Phantom remained silent for a few moments; even she wasn't sure she could do that right now.
Only after collecting all the spirit crystals and then using the neighboring realm to shroud reality, placing oneself in a near-complete state, can one have absolute confidence in killing the mysterious figure, Yalin.
Even if Origami Tobiichi were to become a spirit, she could only achieve that goal in her dreams.
It doesn't matter anyway. As long as the spirit crystal is given out and the negative emotions are filtered through Origami Tobiichi's body, the spirit crystal will be completely complete and can be given to Shiori Itsuka.
That's her goal.
As for Origami Tobiichi's wish....
Of course, once the goods have been sold, we are not responsible for any issues.
"Then I will grant you the power you desire."
A pure white gem appeared in the phantom's hand, floating and merging into Origami Tobiichi's chest, giving her no time to hesitate.
"What... happened?"
Origami Tobiichi was puzzled by this and wanted to ask about the phantom, but found that the other party had disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, she felt the gem inside her body begin to emit heat and pain, causing her to scream and even become confused.
As she experienced this transformative feeling, Origami Tobiichi's expression immediately changed, as if she were not the same person as before.
Yalin's plan worked as expected; this Primal Elf was really easy to fool!
Even on the eve of losing consciousness, she still had a smile on her lips.
They were then pulled away from reality by the gravitational pull from the neighboring dimension, only to be thrown back in an instant, thus triggering an extremely terrifying spacequake.
......
At the DEM branch, the alarm for a spacequake suddenly sounded.
Oroku Juna reported to Yarin: "Brother, the predicted spacequake will be AA-class. Should we intervene immediately?"
If left unchecked, a spatial quake of this magnitude would be enough to completely destroy the entire Tiangong City.
"Don't worry, it won't cause any trouble."
Yalin extended his right index finger and pointed it slightly into the void. A spatial tremor of equal magnitude appeared and moved towards Origami Tobiichi's location, continuously dissolving with her spatial tremor and resolving the crisis.
In the original destiny, there was no spacequake. Is it that Mio Takamiya used it to attract attention, or to deepen Origami Tobiichi's connection with the neighboring world?
"However, Mio Takamiya really doesn't learn her lesson. She actually fell for the same trick twice."
Yalin couldn't help but sigh, even though it was because of his complete disguise of Origami Tobiichi.
However, this also shows that Mio Takamiya has developed a path dependency in distributing spirit crystals over the years, and has not yet realized that something is wrong.
"It's also possible that Origami Tobiichi saw the phantom five years ago, so she might have actively facilitated this cycle knowing the future."
Perhaps Mio Takamiya is secretly sneering, waiting to see how Origami Tobiichi will feel when she discovers that she was the one who caused the tragedy.
They really are people who love to watch the drama unfold.
