At this moment, Akashi's brows were furrowed, his eyes full of struggle. He stood there, his body trembling slightly, completely losing his usual calmness and composure on the court.

Akashi ignored them and spoke to himself.

"Is this the only way?"

He still held on to a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that there would be other ways to resolve the problem of the Emperor's Eye without having to let the other party make such a huge sacrifice.

After all, this disappearance means a farewell forever.

He really couldn't bear to accept this result.

The voice from deep within my consciousness sounded again.

"Don't feel bad. I shouldn't have existed in the first place."

His words were full of open-mindedness and carefreeness, as if he had already seen through it all and accepted his own fate.

The moment he uttered these words, the originally dark depths of his consciousness gradually began to brighten. The light was just a few dots at first, and then it became stronger and stronger, like a warm sun rising slowly, dispelling all the darkness and illuminating the entire space of consciousness.

Akashi, who was hiding in the darkness, gradually emerged under the light.

His body began to emit pieces of light particles. Those light particles were like countless twinkling elves, dancing lightly in the air, emitting soft and warm light, with a dreamlike beauty.

As the light particles continued to increase and fly, Akashi's body gradually disappeared in this space of consciousness. His figure became more and more transparent, as if he was about to merge into the light and disappear completely.

He paid no attention to the changes in his body and continued speaking.

"I can guarantee that the vision of the court that can deliver the ultimate pass, combined with the Eye of the Emperor that can see the future, will definitely give birth to a power that exceeds the Eye of the Demon King."

His voice was still steady and powerful. Even though his body was gradually disappearing, his hope for victory and his confidence that Akashi could defeat his opponent with his full strength remained unchanged. Those words seemed to be the final encouragement to Akashi, as well as a farewell to this "self" that was about to disappear.

Akashi just listened quietly without interrupting the words of the Akashi in the consciousness space.

He did not try to stop it, nor did he show any sadness. He just listened silently, remembering every word of the other person in his heart, and feeling this last moment of companionship.

The light in the consciousness space became brighter and brighter, and Akashi's body in it was about to disappear completely. The originally clear outline was now reduced to a vague shadow, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Being able to play with everyone at the end is such a luxurious farewell for me."

After he said this, the light in the consciousness space gradually dimmed, and those light particles disappeared completely with the disappearance of Akashi's body. The entire consciousness space returned to silence and darkness, as if everything that had just happened was just a short but unforgettable dream.

"Thank you."

Akashi thanked him silently in his heart.

Those silent words were filled with his deep gratitude and nostalgia for the other party.

…

Back to reality.

As the moving and unforgettable scene in the consciousness space came to an end, Akashi's thoughts were gradually pulled back to reality.

At this moment, the noise on the court, the cheers of the audience and the puzzled looks from his teammates all flooded into his sensory world.

Akashi walked to his seat, each step he took was steady and firm, as if compared to before, he had an indescribable aura, a sublimation radiating from the inside out.

Then, he turned and faced the Jabberwock group, his eyes calm but revealing a deterrent power that should not be underestimated.

He slowly raised one hand, the movement was clean and neat, his arm drew a simple arc in the air, signaling Yin Yue to pass the ball to him.

This action of raising his hand seems ordinary, but for some reason, it has a sense of power that cannot be ignored, as if as long as the ball is in his hands, it will be endowed with a different magic and unleash amazing power.

Yin Yue did not hesitate. Relying on the tacit understanding that he and Akashi had developed over a long period of time, he instantly understood Akashi's intention and threw the ball directly to the other party.

The basketball drew an orange-yellow straight line in the air and flew towards the direction where Akashi was. Under the light, the surface of the basketball was glowing with a faint luster, as if it was also looking forward to the new journey that was about to begin in Akashi's hands.

At this moment, the feeling that Akashi gave him was somewhat different from before.

Yin Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at Akashi, trying to find the source of that strange feeling.

He couldn't figure out what exactly was different for a moment, but he instinctively realized that some deep-seated changes seemed to have taken place in Akashi at this moment. This change was very subtle, but it actually affected the temperament and aura he exuded.

If I had to make an analogy, it's like Akashi is even more Akashi than before.

Some people may not understand this metaphor. It is like a person writing a novel. The same chapter with one thousand words and ten thousand words conveys the same meaning, but the content of ten thousand words is more colorful than that of a thousand words.

The current Akashi is just like the 10,000 words after expansion and polishing, with richer details, deeper charm, and the whole person has become more three-dimensional and complete, as if those qualities that were hidden in the dark before have now been dug out one by one and gathered together to form a more powerful and unique force.
