Within a bizarre expanse, a blonde girl in exquisite attire and a dark-haired girl in magnificent military uniform stood poised, separated by a distance exceeding a thousand meters—it was Yakumo Yukari and Haruhi Suzumiya. Due to the peculiar nature of their abilities, their methods of combat were equally strange.

They stood rooted to the spot, merely glaring at each other, doing nothing overtly, yet in the space between them, unimaginable phenomena unfolded. Into that vacant void, as the power of boundaries permeated the area, mountains and rivers suddenly manifested.

The rising of peak after peak brought forth a clear sky, revealing a sharp division between clarity and obscurity, as if a new world was on the verge of birth. However, before this new world could fully coalesce, a massive cavern suddenly ripped open in the heavens, and an endless torrent of seawater surged forth, instantly submerging the entire landscape.

Yet, this state did not last long, for in the next instant, the ground beneath vanished, and the sea, having lost its foundation, could no longer sustain itself... Such was the rapid, cataclysmic transformation within this small domain: moments of vast inundation gave way to raging infernos, followed by ceaseless snowstorms, then crushing gales.

There were even more unbelievable displays, such as flames igniting within the ocean depths, sand and stone emerging from the fire, and rivers being squeezed out of the aggregate stone—it was utterly staggering. If any ordinary person were to witness such a spectacle, their entire worldview would surely shatter instantly.

This was the confrontation of boundary-guided miracles, a clash steeped in the uncanny and the breathtaking. Compared to the duel between Yukari-chan and Haruhi, the battle between Hatsune and Mikoto was far more intense.

Whether it was the mysterious Ark accompanied by (Law) imbued weapons, the Lumino-Orbs capable of altering timelines, or even the powerful treasure known as the Steins;Gate, which could fabricate world-lines—all were hurled towards Mikoto under the unwavering resolve of Hatsune. The resulting chaos in the timeline and the shaking of world-lines, though not yet perfectly resolved, unleashed power beyond imagination.

The shattering of space was inevitable, with black holes forming and multiplying, and various spatial storms, even temporal turbulence, swept toward Mikoto like hurricanes. Facing this power capable of shaking the very foundations of existence, Mikoto’s response was singular: the Net.

This colossal electric net, woven from lightning to obscure the heavens, was far more complex than it appeared; it contained infinite possibilities, and those possibilities were capable of countering every manner of attack. Consequently, despite Hatsune’s abundance of treasures, she found her movements severely restricted against Mikoto’s Heavenly Net.

“Open! The Gate of Heaven!” Hatsune, seeing the situation turning unfavorable, produced another key and thrust it into the sky.

Instantly, a gate nearly ten thousand meters high materialized behind Mikoto. As the gate opened, ripples spread out, and countless arrows of light shot toward Mikoto like bolts.

Though controlling the Heavenly Net, Mikoto did not ignore the activity behind her. The moment those billions of light arrows struck, she swung her free hand backward, materializing an equal number of lightning arrows from thin air and sending them racing forward.

“Got you now!” Hatsune was not surprised that the light arrows were blocked, as this was merely a feint. At almost the same moment, her figure vanished from her position, instantly teleporting using her absolute domain to Mikoto’s side and seizing her wrist.

Ordinarily, Mikoto would not have been captured so easily, but Hatsune’s treasures operated autonomously, while her own attacks required her conscious will. Compared side-by-side, Hatsune gained a significant advantage; catching Mikoto off guard, she secured her within this absolute domain.

Mikoto instantly felt the power within her body rapidly draining away, unable even to fully deploy the Heavenly Net. She vaguely suspected Hatsune had pulled some sort of "trick," yet she showed no panic; instead, a calm smile crossed her face.

“Apologies, that trick won’t work on me. On the contrary, you’ve trapped yourself… Unicorn!” As the words left her lips, an exquisitely beautiful unicorn appeared beside Mikoto, and under Hatsune’s astonished gaze, it swiftly circled the stage once.

“What is this?!” Hatsune’s expression tightened; she sensed that the absolute domain was no longer absolute. “This is the Possibility Space,” Mikoto replied with a composed smile, grabbing Hatsune’s arm and flinging her away.

“From here on, neither of us can use extraordinary powers. We must settle this with bare-knuckle combat.

So, I must ask you... can your single punch reach tonnage-level?” Mikoto threw a punch, the air whistling fiercely, and looked mockingly at the girl opposite her.

“...” A bead of sweat instantly formed on Hatsune’s forehead. Good heavens!

Tonnage-level? She was just a small idol; how could her melee capabilities be that immense?

It looked like she was about to capsize this time. Hatsune felt trepidation, but it was fine; she still had potions!

Quickly pulling a small vial from her pocket, she poured out a pill and swallowed it in a flash. Immediately, a surging power erupted from within her body.

Wonderful, the medicine still works! Hatsune felt a wave of relief.

Although all other high-level equipment was unusable, this vial, which she once considered a mere toy—a super cheat drug that could boost all physical attributes to 999 for one hour after ingestion—was still effective. Yet, the thought quickly followed that she, a collector of transcendent planes, was now relying on a...

toy... to turn the tide; it was truly pathetic.

“Come on, close combat it is. Let’s fight to our hearts’ content!” She swung her arms and legs, feeling quite good, and Hatsune immediately cast aside her sorrow, charging forward with imposing grandeur.

“Divine Light Illumination!” On another battlefield, Lin Xiaoke stood in the void like a radiant goddess. The dazzling light emanating from her made her appear incomparably sacred.

If any superstitious ordinary person saw her, they would likely fall to their knees in worship, hailing her as an immortal. Indeed, with Lin Xiaoke’s power, she was qualified to be a deity, but her form of godhood brought not blessings, but destruction.

At the sound of Nana’s cool voice, sheets of light-rain sprinkled from her hands. Wherever the light-rain passed, whether solid objects or intangible forces, they were forcibly dissolved.

Even those terrifying Eightfold Heavenly Dragons could not withstand the erosion of this rain. However, when pitted against Sisi’s power of Order, Lin Xiaoke’s might could not gain a decisive advantage.

The two forces were in direct opposition, faintly achieving a state of equilibrium; drawing a quick conclusion seemed difficult. “Aaaaaaah!!!” The Wicked King, held firmly to the ground by Lin Luo, roared in fury, struggling with all his might.

Unordered power surged out like cannonballs toward Lin Luo, but having finally suppressed her, Lin Luo was not about to let go easily. Creation and Destruction operated in tandem: Destruction to suppress, Creation to shield, rendering her struggles utterly futile.

“Now, we move to question time.” “Hmph, you think I’d answer your questions?” The girl sneered, full of disdain for Lin Luo’s words, and struggled even harder. Lin Luo smiled.

“You will answer, because the path you walk is fundamentally not the Path of Evil.” “What did you say!” Hearing this, the girl's expression shifted instantly, her eyes flashing with savage light. “How dare you say I don’t walk the Path of Evil?

On what basis do you assert that!” Distracted by Lin Luo’s topic, her struggling force slightly weakened. “What is evil?

Cruelty? Cold-bloodedness?

Bloodlust? Slaughter?” “Hmph, I have done all those things.

I have killed more people than you have ever seen.” “Hahaha, how superficial!” Lin Luo threw her head back and laughed, then lowered it, her face full of contempt. “Simply killing a few people and you think you’ve stepped onto the Path of Evil?

Have you not woken up yet, or is your experience too shallow to be so childish? Oh, I almost forgot, you’re still not even an adult yet.” “How dare you humiliate me like this!” The girl instantly became enraged, but before she could lash out, Lin Luo spoke again.

“Isn't that true? If killing people makes one evil, then every single soldier in wartime is an unforgivable sinner.

Even looking closer, I have killed many people, but I never considered myself evil.” “That’s just you...” The girl gritted her teeth. “Everyone is the same!” Lin Luo roared suddenly, interrupting her.

Her words were like knives, pressing closer. “So-called evil is not merely reflected in actions, but more so in the soul.

Merely killing some people and believing you’ve stepped onto the path of evil—your superficiality is as pronounced as your outward appearance. The Path of Evil is an exceedingly heavy burden, not something anyone can casually bear, little girl.” “You...” The girl’s face turned pale.

“What about me? Want to argue?

No, you can’t argue at all, because while you appear to disregard everything, you haven’t actually managed to abandon everything. Otherwise, answer me this: why is it that when fighting Sisi earlier, you never used your full strength?” “I...” The girl’s mouth opened but she struggled to find words.

“You want to say it was to conserve strength for a final push? No.

A person truly on the Path of Evil wouldn’t care about such things. The true Path of Evil is the abandonment of the soul.

As for you... hmph, at best, you are just a little girl wallowing in the path of solitude and feeling smug about it.” “...” These words left the girl’s face ghost-white; she was rendered speechless.

Lin Luo pressed her again. “What is it you truly desire?

Try to answer me.” “Stop asking me,” the girl’s body trembled slightly, her imposing aura clearly diminished. “Can’t answer?

It’s not that you don’t know; you’re just pretending not to know.” “...........” Faced with these aggressive questions, the girl was completely cornered, utterly incapable of reply. “Nonsense...

Nonsense... Nonsense...

Nonsense... Go die!!!!” However, after a moment of silence, a heaven-rending roar erupted from her mouth.

Unordered power surged wildly, forcibly blasting Lin Luo away. When Lin Luo looked at her again...

“Since you say I am not on the Path of Evil, then I will prove it to you! Millions of living beings as my soldiers, millions of gods and demons as my generals!

Kill!” “Roar!!!” In that instant, a dense, black swarm surged from behind the girl, erupting with monstrous demonic energy that blotted out the entire sky. (To be continued.)
