Bab 644: Chapter 638: Clash Between Timelines
If Yoshino's situation had an explanation, Origami's was a paradox in itself.
After all, it was the result of two timelines colliding, causing one to collapse.
"Ahhhhh!"
Origami clutched her head with both hands, the Reiryoku around her fluctuated violently, and the mark on her chest glowed, weakening the seal that Yuki had placed on her and causing the Sephira crystal within her to rotate.
Five years had passed since Metatron was sealed. The accumulated energy was too much for her body, causing her CR Unit, White Lycoris, to collapse and be replaced by her Astral Dress...
"A Spirit!"
Everyone except Yuki was shocked to see Origami's transformation...
This was even more shocking for Ryouko, her Captain, who had been fighting against spirits all this time. Now, Origami had become one of them, leaving the entire squad stupefied...
Moreover...
"It's beautiful...."
Indeed, no matter where you looked, Origami's Astral Dress was stunning.
"It is said that a spirit's Astral Dress is formed by their deepest desire. I suppose that's true."
Yuki sighed. Rasiel provided a lot of information, particularly the reason behind the Astral Dress. According to Rasiel, these dresses take shape based on the spirit's unique desires. For example, Miku's dress reflects her as a Diva, Tohka's as a battle armor, and Kurumi's as a gothic black dress. Each Astral Dress embodies part of their subconscious desires and brings them into reality.
Origami's Astral Dress, on the other hand, resembled a wedding dress, reflecting her childhood dream of becoming a beautiful bride. This was obvious since her parents had greatly influenced her upbringing.
She looked angelic from a distance, which reflected her purity and compatibility with the power of Order.
She wore a golden crown adorned with a white veil.
A white ribbon with a gemstone was tied around her neck, and golden extensions were attached to her hips and forearms.
The edges of her skirt folded like flower petals, and the tips were also golden.
She even had a ring on her left ring finger, indicating her deepest desire—to create the family that had been taken from her.
"Darling...."
Miku, who heard Yuki's words, looked at herself. Her Astral Dress reflected her desire, just like the moon shining in her earrings.
The desire Yuki left within her at that moment, and the moon reflected in them...
*Boommmm*
Suddenly, Origami's Reiryoku caused another impact, leading to the collapse of the underground area. But this was expected, as the training ground had its limits, and Yoshino had already created a disaster, causing Origami's impact to trigger a domino effect...
"Origami!"
Ryouko wanted to intervene, but unfortunately, Origami was trapped in a force field where dimensions clashed. She wasn't literally in this timeline; rather, she was traveling between the Neighboring World and this one, with her image being merely a projection...
Of course, Ryouko didn't know this and attempted to break through the force field, but Yuki stopped her just in time...
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Floating alongside Yoshino, Yuki intervened, and Tohka raised her sword, preventing Ryouko and AST from interfering.
"You'll die if you try..."
"You!...."
Ryouko gritted her teeth in frustration. Yuki was both the psychological shadow of Origami and her brother, and now he was stopping her. But it was certain—Yuki wasn't joking. Unless someone had immense strength, it would be impossible to cross dimensions...
*Boommmm*
However, despite Ryouko's anger, the training ground was collapsing, and her squad had already fought a battle with Yoshino. They didn't have the strength for another fight, and staying behind would only lead to their squad's annihilation...
"Retreat!"
With no other choice, Ryouko took one last look at Origami and Miku before hastily evacuating.
"Susanoo."
Of course, this wasn't a problem for Yuki. Before the ceiling could collapse, Susanoo appeared around him, and with absolute strength, used his giant arms to break through the ceiling. At the same time, golden pillars began appearing beside Origami. Metatron materialized due to Susanoo's oppressive aura as a defense mechanism, but Yuki ignored it and kept striking. Simultaneously, a golden aura spread, and dragon marks formed a Barrier...
"Thanks, Eggy."
[This barrier won't hold for long.]
"I know."
As a World Spiritist, Yuki and Eggy isolated the training ground. He didn't want this anomaly to spread and destroy the city.
"Yuki..."
"Darling."
"Nii-sama."
He then took Tohka, Miku, and Mana into his shadow and teleported to Fraxinus, or what remained of it...
After all, Fraxinus had been destroyed and had fallen from the sky. At the same time Origami transformed, Kotori also transformed, completely burning down the warship...
Yuki wasn't surprised by this, but Tohka and Miku were. After escaping one chaotic area, Yuki brought them to another where a warship had crashed.
Fortunately, Kotori wasn't the only spirit in Fraxinus, as the Yamai sisters, Kurumi, Mukuro, and Natsumi had saved the crew...
"Hihi, Danna-sama, welcome back..."
"Nushi-sama, you've returned..."
Kurumi was the first to greet him, but Mukuro was the first to react. This girl moved quickly and hugged Yuki, who was carrying Yoshino...
Yuki didn't mind and looked around at the entire crew, but two people were notably missing...
"Where are Kotori and Reine?"
"You should already know, Danna-sama."
A sigh escaped Yuki's lips when he heard this. He knew this would happen, yet he couldn't prevent it. After all, it was necessary if he wanted to repair the timeline...
Moreover...
"Reine-san also said she'd be waiting for you, Danna-sama."
"Alright."
Yuki closed his eyes, his shadow expanded, and everyone present was once again swallowed by darkness.
"Whaaa?!"
Except for Natsumi, who was terrified, everyone else knew this was Yuki's way of moving and traveling.

Tenguu City, Itsuka Residence...
After Origami destroyed the training ground, the city went into martial law.
Origami's Reiryoku impacts were about to create spatial earthquakes. It must be said that if it weren't for Yuki stabilizing the space with his clones and creating spiritual barriers, Origami would have already caused the city to suffer from random spatial earthquakes.
Even though this was out of control for AST and Ratatoskr, now that Kotori was gone, Yuki didn't worry too much. As long as Origami didn't invert, everything was still tolerable, and at least this timeline wouldn't collapse...
"Darling, can you explain what's going on?"
After making Yoshino comfortable, Miku returned to the group. Although there were many beautiful girls making her heart race, this wasn't the time for jokes, and she got straight to the point.
Since Yuki had appeared at AST until now, they hadn't talked much, or rather, the situation hadn't allowed it.
Miku was a little upset about this, but it wasn't that Yuki was ignoring her. Rather, he was keeping his distance. Among all the spirits, Miku was the only one whose Demon King was most dangerous for Yuki, so to avoid anomalies in the seal, Yuki had always been cautious.
(But....)
This couldn't continue. Miku was now hugging his arm tightly against her enormous chest, which was hard to ignore, and her scent and softness left Yuki defenseless.
Even so, he sighed and spoke. Everyone had the right to know what was happening.
"That's what I'll do, but it's complicated because the success of this mission depends on whether this timeline reaches its end or if we save it."
"What?!"
And of course, his words left the spirits in shock.
