章 304: Death

Warp gate?

Teleportation?

Wait, did he let me talk so he could know where my location is?

When Maya saw him in the flesh, she kept thinking of many possibilities within her mind, but no matter what, Isao had appeared. It just took him a moment to appear and arrive at the headquarters of the Yotsuba Family.

Isao didn't waste his time and appeared directly before Maya. If there was not something serious, he wouldn't use this ability, but as this was a critical situation, he didn't hesitate, especially when he could tell that Maya didn't plan to let him succeed.

Or did she expect him to succeed?

Either way, he knew how nuts Maya was, and unlike Tatsuya, who had lost his emotions after being modified by Miya, Maya, who received the same treatment from Miya, didn't lose her emotions; her emotions were almost overflowing if she didn't have an ambition she wanted to achieve, she would be a lunatic.

'This family is troublesome,' he thought.

Yet, as Miya had become the mother of his children, it was natural for him to take care of her problem.

However, while Maya was startled by Isao's sudden appearance, her reaction wasn't slow, and she directly used her magic.

Meteor Stream.

As the space turned into night, countless tiny balls of light floated within the air, ready to pierce through Isao with a stream of light.

Like Tatsuya, Maya also had innate magic, and this magic allowed her to shoot out rays that were capable of passing through anything; regardless of the hardness of the object, heat resistance, plasticity, or resilience, a hole was drilled through and impossible to defend.

In other words, as long as one was hit by this magic, there was nothing that could help them, but—

"Stay here."

Isao had already vanished and stood by Maya's side, touching her shoulder softly.

"Eh?"

Maya suddenly felt all of her power disappear as she realized that she had become a normal human in horror!

[You have acquired Maya Yotsuba's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

Isao accepted the DNA and then released all of his power.

Yet Maya, who was on the side, even if she had lost all of her power and become a normal human, her expression never showed despair. Instead, her feelings were already filled with madness, fanatics, and joy when she saw that everything was about to end.

"Ahh~!"

As her sweet cry echoed, Maya knew that the devil had emerged from hell, bringing terror and fear to everyone.

So, why did Isao suddenly use all of his power?

Everything had to return after Maya finished her talk with all of her followers.

After they are sent back by Maya, all of them gather and start another discussion, and when Maya talks with Isao, they also talk to each other.

"What should we do?"

"Is that even a question? We have to erase that threat before he or she appears!"

This was their decision, and knowing the horror that came from Tatsuya, they knew that they had to stop Miya's children from being born.

Previously, it might have been fine since the previous head was there, and whether it was Miya or Maya, they were still young, and more importantly, Tatsuya also had a restraint.

But now?

They lacked control and fear about the being that was about to be born from Miya's womb.

More importantly, knowing Maya's nature, how could they dare to let the children from Miya's womb appear in this world?

Tatsuya was like that, but fortunately, he was under control since Miya was there, and even if Miya was gone, Miyuki was still around, so it was impossible for the chains on Tatsuya's neck to disappear.

Yet, what about these children?

This child was different from Tatsuya since Miya was impregnated by a devil-like existence that could destroy and save a country by his strength alone.

When Miya's DNA and this person's DNA were combined, what would happen?

Could an existence even more fearsome than Tatsuya be born?

When such a possibility existed, all of them shivered with fear and terror, yet due to that, they had made up their minds. At the same time, it was fortunate that Miya's pregnancy was discovered earlier, so they stopped all of the tragedy without hurting Miya.

After all, they weren't like Maya, who wanted to destroy this world. They still wanted to live in this world peacefully and protect their family, so even if they knew that they might hurt Miya and even anger Maya, they had to do this.

As for the man who had impregnated Maya?

They felt like... they could use this man to fight Tatsuya, and when the two of them fought, then the world would be at peace, and the Yotsuba Family would return to how it used to be.

The right one, like before.

As for their future, what should they be afraid of?

They are Yotsuba!

The most fearsome magician in the world!

With that determination, all of them went to the room where Miya was kept. It was impossible for them to go alone. Instead, all of them had to go together, so it would be impossible for Maya to ask for their accountability since if she dared to do so, the power of the Yotsuba Family would disappear.

Yet, when all of them appeared, Miya didn't appear to be surprised since, like Tatsuya and her sister, she also had an innate magic.

Mental Design Interference.

This magic allowed her to alter anyone's brains.

There was no doubt how fearsome this magic was as people would only think that it came from a legend, yet it existed, and she was the holder of that magic.

Still, while it was powerful, she had only used this magic twice, and she had only used it on Tatsuya and Maya.

However, with how powerful it was, this magic also gave her an insight into what people wanted to do with just a glance.

"I advise you to stop. Don't you dare to step forward!"

Facing all of the members of the Yotsuba Family, whether it was the main or the branches, even if they didn't say anything since Miya knew what they planned to do, so she subconsciously protected her belly as if afraid something would happen to her the new life inside her womb.

This was her chance, a chance for her to love her children, and as a mother, how could she allow those beasts to do what they planned to do to her children?

Watching Miya's expression that was filled with rage and anxiety, all of them were filled with endless guilt since they knew how cruel their actions were toward their family members, yet when they thought about the devil that might be born from Miya, they decided to harden their hearts.

"Forgive us, Miya."

"Yes, we can't let another malice be born into the world."

"For our family, please understand!"

All of them have made up their minds, and no one could stop them.

Watching their crazed expression, Miya became even more anxious, and while she could stop one of them, facing all of them was different, especially when all of them were ready to do anything to abort her children.

Holding her belly tightly, Miya closed her eyes, feeling despair, yet also struggled as it was impossible to give up on her children, so—

'Isao-kun...'

She thought that she could be with him in Hokkaido, staring at a new life, yet here she was; everything had always been like this. Nothing was right, and everything had been moving in the wrong direction, even though what she wished was just normal happiness.

Her eyes were filled with tears, but she made up her mind, only she stopped, realizing what was about to happen.

At that moment, the whole world, no matter their race, nationality, gender, status, or even whether they were animals, humans, or magicians, as long as they were living beings, could feel it.

Something came, something that shouldn't appear in this world emerged, and when this being appeared, their hearts were all filled with terrors that came from the bottom of their hearts, knowing that no matter what their struggle be, they couldn't escape from their fates.

Yet, for everyone in the headquarters of the Yotsuba Family, their house vanished directly, and all of them landed on the bare land with nothing around them, but their sight never paid to those things that happened in their surroundings.

Their eyes only focused on the being that appeared in the sky, a being that they shouldn't have angered, yet they did, and they knew what awaited them was death.
