Chapter 270: Key
"No place in this world is safe," Yuki said, rubbing his temples, analyzing his options. Running was not an option, and using the Chat Room to travel to another world was out of the question since his Demon King was bound to this realm, making escape impossible.
Running would be foolish.
"If we can't run... then, Yuki," Yuno, with a sudden realization, spoke, and Yuki confirmed her words.
"Yes, we have to eliminate the other participants."
They couldn't run.
No, they couldn't.
The longer they waited, the more time the other participants would have to kill each other. And when that happened, they would gain the power stolen from the others, becoming a significant threat.
Crying wouldn't help when a low or mid-tier Destructor was after them.
"We must kill them while they're still Mid-Tectonic. Even if we can't steal power, the more of them we kill, the weaker the remaining participants will be."
This is a Survival Game, and the one who acts fastest will be the victor.
Yuki quickly analyzed the rules, finding several loopholes that could be exploited.
For instance, no one would risk killing Yuno right now to become the new owner of the 'Key.'
No one would expect an attack from Yuno at this moment. They would be more cautious of other participants than Yuno herself. However, this was an advantage.
Moreover, the more they killed, the power collected from the other participants would decrease significantly.
They had the absolute advantage of being two Mid-Tectonics; they could massacre the other participants.
This was their only option. Yuki didn't believe the other participants would give them the option to flee and show mercy.
Humans, since ancient times, sought power, and their greed was almost infinite, always seeking more power.
Always being above everyone else; this was their nature, and no mercy would be given by any of them.
Even if they were good people, overwhelming power would consume them, turning them into monsters.
So, it's better to kill them before they become too powerful.
But something bothered Yuki...
And that was the Diaries...
These Diaries, with their power to predict the future, were troublesome. Participants could prevent ambushes and know which participant would come after them. Even knowing their abilities was possible.
This Diary was the perfect opponent for Rasiel...
(I have to destroy that Diary first...)
Thinking about the most problematic Diary of all, Yuki smiled, but he didn't tell Yuno anything. After all, that Diary was very powerful. Since it had the power to see the predictions of other Diaries, maybe the entire conversation he had with Yuno at this moment has been revealed.
Yuki needed to kill its owner as soon as possible.
"Hm! I'll follow you, Yuki!"
Yuno, on the other hand, smiled. No matter what, she would be by his side in this. For her, eliminating these participants was one more step toward her goal, and having Yuki help her was wonderful.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Yuki sighed; this girl was not normal, even when Yuki spoke about killing.
This girl didn't even blink, causing Yuki to frown. He read in Rasiel about how this girl killed the First.
Unfortunately, he couldn't read minds; otherwise, he would know why this girl summoned him.
Even though she acted in danger, after checking with Rasiel, he found out that it was all a lie.
But in the end, Yuno was still his companion.
He couldn't abandon her and couldn't let her fight alone.
(This city will disappear...)
Looking at these towering buildings, Yuki knew that chaos would soon ensue.
"Hm?"
*BOOOOMMMMM
However, his suspicions turned out to be true, as a massive explosion was heard in the northern area of the city.
"They've already started, Yuki...."
"So it seems..."
Snapping his fingers, Yuki already had his target, so he quickly entered his shadow dimension, taking Yuno with him.
Staying in that place was too risky...
--------------
Deus, being the God of Space and Time, had very high power even among the gods.
When he divided his power into 10, his abilities were also divided.
Five participants with the power of space and five with the power of time.
Not only that, but they all also possessed an energy similar to a Mid-Tectonic.
Their bodies were also modified to withstand this energy, giving them superhuman strength, superior reflexes, and supernatural speed.
Moreover, they could fly through the skies...
If you had to put them in the statistics of the world of the Gods, their bodies were at the level of an adventurer at level 8 to 9.
An Epic rank...
Yuki, having Rasiel, quickly accessed the statistics of each of them. When it came to collecting information, Rasiel was far above the Diaries, but when he saw their statistics, he was surprised.
[Yuno Gasai
Strength: 7500
Resistance: 7800
Dexterity: 7600
Agility: 8000
Energy: 50000
Attribute: Space]
Her parameters exploded...
Adding up her statistics, they exceeded 80,000...
She was a full-fledged level 9 if she were in the World of the Gods.
Of course, this was based on physical dexterity; her energy was entirely different, similar to that of a Mid-Tectonic.
She could fight head-on against a Kage and possibly emerge victorious, thanks to her Space attribute...
Yes, that's Yuno...
What about the other participants?
However, not everything was about winning; with all that power, the price to pay was also great...
"Yuno, you shouldn't use your Space attribute unless absolutely necessary."
Every time they used their attribute, they lost their life force. Very similar to Zafkiel; however, unlike Zafkiel, the price was more significant.
If put into statistics, Yuno could only use her Space attribute about 100 times before her entire life force was consumed.
"Yuki... But then I won't be able to protect you. Yuki, we won't be able to win."
"Don't worry; I'll take care of this."
There was no need for him to be protected. As long as the Demon King didn't catch him, he could continue in the game. So, he made sure to destroy all the participants before his time ran out.
"Yuki..."
Yuno's eyes couldn't help but moisten at those words, and even her cheeks reddened.
How long had it been since someone told her those words?
Had anyone ever told her those words before?
No, no one had ever cared for her before, not even her parents.
(Yuki! YUKI! YUKIIIII!)
And even though she looked like a lovestruck maiden on the outside, inside her mind was chaos, so much so that her aura fluctuated, and the air around her became heavier.
She was unconsciously releasing her newly acquired powers.
(Calm down... Relax, Yuno Gasai. It's not time yet... Very soon... Very soon.)
Internally battling to prevent herself from pushing Yuki down, Yuno took deep breaths, and her aura returned to normal.
"...."
Yuki, of course, completely ignored her. It was bad for his health.
So, even though he sweated a bit, he continued gathering information in Rasiel.
Surely, the other participants were doing the same, except for the two idiots who were fighting. After all, information is power.
The Future Diaries were the biggest headache for Yuki. As information gatherers, it was very challenging to ambush their owners.
That's why, if he wanted to win, he had to prepare a countermeasure for those annoying Future Diaries; otherwise, his victory was highly doubtful.
(First, I need to get rid of the Eleventh.)
Choosing his first target, Yuki closed Rasiel at the same time he stood up.
"Our target is set. I better get to work. Wait for me here; I'll be quick."
[Elohim]
*Tick, Tack
Instantly entering his Astral suit, Yuki wasn't going to hold back on this. He needed to be fast, and even though the other participants had the power of Time and Space, he had Zafkiel by his side.
Moreover, no one could predict the future...
The future is changeable and variable; his actions would decide the victory.
"I'm coming too!"
However, before he could enter the shadows, Yuno stopped him. After all, this was her fight.
She couldn't let her beloved go to war while she waited.
