On the beach of the isolated island, waves surged one after another, bringing up splashes of water that washed over the gravel, over the island, and even over the massive strategic bomber parked on the sand.

Fang Li held Shirayuki as they slowly descended from the sky and landed on the beach. He lifted his gaze to the top of the bomber.

"Here it comes."

"You're much faster than I expected."

It felt as if one person was speaking, with Sun and Habi standing on either side, holding their crescent blades and giant axes, looking down at Fang Li and Shirayuki.

Behind the two supporters, at the highest point of the bomber, a small figure, as petite as Sun and Habi, stood against the wind, facing away from them.

Her presence was twice the size of Sun and Habi combined, and she exuded an overwhelming aura like a rising tide.

"Hū----!"

The sea breeze carried a chill, causing the hem of the girl's skirt to flap wildly in the wind.

Along with it, a pair of ponytails danced in the breeze.

The pink hair, beautiful as cherry blossoms and soft as cotton, formed a beautiful double ponytail.

"Aria..."

Shirayuki looked at the remarkably powerful figure, her voice tinged with sadness.

That was only natural.

The petite girl standing high on the wing with her back to them was no longer the Aria Shirayuki had once known.

"It's been about three years, hasn't it?"

A clear, melodious, childlike voice began to emanate from the figure.

The difference was that it had lost a bit of childishness and gained a touch of unruliness.

"Ever since I crossed over from Koyomi Kagami into this child's body three years ago, I have been trying to replace the spirit in this body in order to achieve a complete resurrection.

"Unfortunately, during these three years, this child neither understands the joy of battle nor the beauty of love. Even though she has perfectly inherited my power, she still cannot synchronize with me, making it impossible for me to manifest.

"But after three years, the child of the Holmes family has finally awakened. While she still doesn't understand the joy of fighting, she has begun to develop a naive interest in love. With a little stimulation, I can completely possess her as I am now.

Having said that, the goddess occupying Aria's body turned around and looked down at Fang Li with a cute, slightly childish face, revealing a charming smile.

"This is all thanks to you, Fang Li; you made Aria feel something unusual for another person and gradually helped her understand love."

These words seemed to ride on the wind and reached Fang Li's ears.

Fang Li fell silent.

"Scarlet Blazing God..."

Shirayuki's expression became serious.

"Has the Miko of Hotogishrine come as well?" The Scarlet Blazing God shifted her gaze to Shirayuki, her smile becoming somewhat cold and displeased as she said, "Throughout history, I have always been enshrined as a deity, but every time I manifest in this world, the ones who come out to stop me are you - a bunch of boring guardians. Your ancestor, the girl named Himiko, was far more interesting.

"We will not follow the path of our ancestors," Shirayuki replied firmly, her voice strong. "Hotogi decided to become a Clan of Guardians because of you; that is our mission."

"That's why I say you're so boring." The Scarlet Blazing God pouted like a sulky child and shouted, "Love is fun, and war is interesting, too. Although modern warfare is hardly fun - just a pathetic bunch of civilians with guns fighting until one side is completely wiped out - it is an ugly slaughter, no different from a competition to see who can pick up the most rocks by the roadside. But wars in the past always got my blood boiling."

As soon as the Scarlet Blazing God finished speaking, Sun, holding the crescent blade, began to speak.

"Just like the Three Kingdoms era, there were so many outstanding experts at that time- Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, as well as the Sima Family, the Five Tiger Generals, and Zhou Yu. These superhumans, meticulously carved like jewels, fought each other on the battlefield; that was real war. Only that kind of war could make me lose myself time and time again."

As soon as Sun finished speaking, Habi spoke again.

"I love it best when extraordinary beings that surpass human wisdom risk their lives against each other in serious duels during war, where the highest passion burns; that is the best game of all.

At this point, the fully formed Scarlet Blazing God, who was occupying Aria's body, spread her arms wide and declared passionately:

"I am the Goddess of 'Love,' which brings forth life, and 'War,' which seizes life—Scarlet Blazing God!"

"I crave war!"

"I crave love!"

"War and love, these are the most beautiful existences in this world!"

With that, the Scarlet Blazing God pointed at Shirayuki.

"But you, Hotogi, have chosen to abandon such beautiful things and have chosen to silently guard the most boring of all things. Of course, you could use my power at any time, but you just seal it away!"

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

"Boring! Boring!"

The Scarlet Blazing God seemed genuinely angry now.

"After many years, I have finally found the most suitable body for me to descend into this world in my most complete form, but this world has no war; it is truly boring!"

"Therefore, I will use this island as my base and turn Oni and Ranban warriors into my soldiers. From here, I will set out and cross the seas and skies, gradually declaring war on all the countries of the world, and eventually bringing all the superhuman groups together for the most intense world war!"

"No one can stop me!"

Her clear, childlike voice echoed across the beach.

Then, the Scarlet Blazing God looked back at Fang Li, smiled brightly, and extended a hand to him.

"Come with me, Fang Li!"

This was an invitation.

"War is very interesting, and I will bring war to the whole world!"

"But war alone is not enough, I also want the most intense love!"

"So come, be my partner and travel the world with me!"

"I am yours!"

"This world will be yours, too!"

As her words fell, the whole place suddenly fell silent.

"Li Kun..."

Shirayuki looked at Fang Li with some concern.

What she saw was only Fang Li's frighteningly calm expression.

"You are mine?" 

Fang Li chuckled.

This laugh was filled with sarcasm.

"How dare you say such a thing while using someone else's body?"

"Fine."

The pure white activation body fell into Fang Li's hands, transforming into a pure white light sword that he pointed upwards.

"However, I'll have to wait until I drive you out of that body!"
