Chapter 94

Rokudo Mukuro glanced at the disheveled group. "Oh my~ Isn't this Sawada Tsunayoshi and his Guardians? What's gotten into you all?!"

Hayato Gokudera clenched his fists. That pineapple monster was truly ungrateful!

"Where have you been all this time? Do you even know what's going on now?!"

Rokudo Mukuro raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you ask Sawada Tsunayoshi where I went?"

"If it weren't for Sawada Tsunayoshi, I wouldn't have ended up in a parallel world and almost couldn't come back." Rokudo Mukuro was always good at blaming Sawada Tsunayoshi and causing him trouble.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Hearing Rokudo Mukuro slander the Tenth Boss he admired most, Gokudera Hayato, who had been exhausted, suddenly regained his strength. "How could you slander the Tenth Boss!"

"Heh~ Sawada Tsunayoshi, tell me yourself, did I slander you?" Rokudo Mukuro narrowed his eyes. "Such a huge rocket launcher, it just came right down on your head."

When he said this, Rokudo Mukuro's expression was weak, innocent, and pitiful.

"What? I knew it was you guys!" Inuya suddenly bristled. "You said Lord Mukuro disappeared without a trace? Is that without a trace? It was clearly the Vongola who did it..."

Ryohei shouted loudly, "How could Sawada possibly harm Mukuro!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi, now in Hyper Dying Will Mode, had a flicker of guilt deep in his usually calm eyes. Although he wasn't responsible for Mukuro's "disappearance," he couldn't escape responsibility. During this time, he had been undergoing combat training ten years in the future, and hadn't forgotten to have the Ten-Year Bazooka repaired quickly, hoping to find Mukuro as soon as possible.

Seeing Mukuro alive and well before him, he immediately relaxed. It was wonderful that Mukuro was safe and sound.

XANXUS, who had just fired a shot at Byakuran, frowned deeply, his voice low and filled with murderous intent, "Trash! Shut up!"

Belle, who was sitting on the tree, jumped down. "Hehehe~ You guys can actually start arguing at a time like this."

Fran drawled, "Yes, shouldn't we protect our weak and helpless master at a time like this—"

Bell choked up. The word "weak and helpless" really disgusted Rokudo Mukuro.

With a flick of her fingertips, three knives were plunged into Fran's hood in the next second.

Rokudo Mukuro also conjured a trident and pierced three holes in Fran's frog headgear.

You'd better shut up.

Gamma subtly twitched the corner of his mouth. As expected of the Vongola, the Guardians and Varian were fighting amongst themselves again.

High in the sky, Byakuran suddenly spoke up: "Ah~ Vongola folks, please show some respect for the protagonist. On this battlefield, the only victor is the protagonist, there is only one—and that is me~"

XANXUS's all-out attack did not cause him any damage, and everyone became vigilant.

Sawada Tsunayoshi stretched out his hand, blocking everyone. "You all step back and let me handle this."

XANXUS glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi's retreating figure and sneered, "Trash!"

At the same time, he stopped his hand from firing at Bai Lan.

The belligerent Hibari Kyoya pursed his lips and stopped as well.

Rokudo Mukuro gave Sawada Tsunayoshi a cryptic look. "Kufufufu~ Sawada Tsunayoshi, you've got some nerve. Why don't you turn around and see who you were talking to just now?"

He always felt that Sawada Tsunayoshi's solo defeat of Byakuran and the experience gained by himself were partly the reason for his sudden increase in strength.

Even with his unusually calm mind, Sawada Tsunayoshi still didn't dare, fearing that XANXUS and Hibari-senpai wouldn't give him face and would beat him up directly.

Rokudo Mukuro twirled the ring on his hand, put his hand in his pocket, touched the box inside, and said lazily, "Never mind, good luck."

This time, he wanted to watch live how Sawada Tsunayoshi got beaten up and became stronger.

When Byakuran created a pair of snow-white wings behind him with flames, Rokudo Mukuro's heart skipped a beat.

He straightened up and took a step forward.

Fran's voice rang out softly, "Master—what do you want to do—"

“Kufufufu~” Rokudo Mukuro looked Byakuran up and down, completely ignoring his chuunibyou remarks, and lowered his voice to Fran, “Don’t you think Byakuran’s outfit is missing something?”

Fran stared intently at Rokudo Mukuro, then suddenly spoke up, "Master—you seem to know Byakuran quite well~"

Based on what Frank knew about Rokudo Mukuro, he would only use illusions to joke with acquaintances, and with enemies and people he didn't like, he would only use illusions to create openings in their bodies.

Rokudo Mukuro: "It's alright."

Fran: "Master—I feel like you're hiding something from all of us!"

"Shut up."

"Let me say one more thing before you shut up."

"explain."

"Me~ I know what you mean, Master. Bai Lan is missing a big halo, right? After all, how can a bird... an angel be without wings and a halo?"

Rokudo Mukuro nodded in satisfaction.

After exchanging a glance, the two began to act simultaneously, activating an illusion together.

Byakuran, who was excitedly spouting his chuunibyou (delusional) remarks with his arms outstretched, suddenly froze. He realized that everyone was staring at the top of his head with a strange look.

His hairstyle is indeed nice, but is it necessary to stare at it like that?

Bai Lan was somewhat puzzled.

Kikyo, who had survived, also stared wide-eyed. She slammed her fist on the ground and glared fiercely at Rokudo Mukuro and Fran, the master and apprentice duo. "Lord Byakuran! How dare you fool Lord Byakuran!"

Bai Lan reached up and touched the top of his head, only then did he notice the problem.

A golden halo appeared above his head, exactly like the halo above the heads of angels in mythology.

His face darkened instantly, and with a forceful pull, the glittering halo shattered.

"Tsk, Mukuro-kun~ Fran-kun, you guys are too naughty."

"Kufufufu~ Stop pinching, you can't take it off. Anyway, it won't hurt you." The halo gathered above Bai Lan's head again. "It looks so good on you. With this halo, it better reflects your status."

Bai Lan's expression turned terrifying, and flames gathered between her fingers.

Rokudo Mukuro wasn't afraid at all. He never doubted Sawada Tsunayoshi's protective instincts towards them, his group of guardians.

Sure enough, a second before Byakuran could launch his attack, Sawada Tsunayoshi appeared in front of Byakuran in a flash and threw a punch, saying, "Byakuran, your opponent is me."

The battle was spectacular. Sawada Tsunayoshi's movements were swift and deadly, each strike potentially fatal; Byakuran, however, was able to deflect his attacks using the simplest methods. The two exchanged blows, their movements so fast that it was difficult to keep up with the naked eye.

This battle should have been intense and serious, after all, it was a matter of life and death, but the halo above Bai Lan's head was very out of place.

No matter how Bai Lan moved, the shimmering halo always clung firmly to the top of his head. When he moved too fast, the halo would leave a golden trail in mid-air.

He was initially watching the crowd with a serious expression and focused attention, but his gaze kept being inadvertently drawn to the halo.

Some people cursed inwardly: Rokudo Mukuro is definitely poisonous!

Rokudo Mukuro looked at Byakuran standing in mid-air, with wings on his back and a halo above his head, looking quite stylish; while Sawada Tsunayoshi opposite Byakuran was a bit disheveled, wearing a very student-like outfit, and had no air of a Mafia leader.

When Byakuran knocked Sawada Tsunayoshi to the ground, Sawada Tsunayoshi was in an even more disheveled state.

Rokudo Mukuro stood with his arms crossed, looking completely at ease, listening to the explanations of those around him while enjoying Sawada Tsunayoshi's disheveled state.

When Byakuran deliberately provoked Sawada Tsunayoshi to increase the flame pressure of the Vongola Rings, causing the Vongola Rings and Mare Rings to resonate, and when Yuni's figure appeared on the horizon, Rokudo Mukuro finally became serious.

"Rokudo Mukuro, can you ignite the flames with the Vongola Rings?" Gokudera Hayato walked up to Rokudo Mukuro and said with a serious expression, "This is the way of fighting in the future. Ignite the flames with the Vongola Rings, and then inject the flames into the Vongola Box..."

"The flame is ignited by enlightenment, give it a try!"

Fran: "Master~ Do you need me~ to teach you? Just call me~ Master—"

Rokudo Mukuro stared at Gokudera Hayato and Fran with the look of someone looking at an idiot. "Just light the flames, why say so much? And Fran, is this kid trying to overthrow the Heavenly Gang?"

He extended his right hand, revealing three rings on it: two Hell Rings and the Vongola Ring on his middle finger.

Fran looked at the Hell Rings on Rokudo Mukuro's hand with some envy, "Master~ you don't need these two rings right now, why don't you give them to me~?"

While the current master is "ignorant and ignorant," let's take advantage of him to swindle him as much as possible.

"Kufufu~" Rokudo Mukuro chuckled coldly, and indigo flames suddenly erupted from the Vongola Rings. A thick vine with an eye covering emerged from one of the Hell Rings and hurled it at Fran.

The vines pierced right through Fran's body, and the next second, Fran's figure turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished from the spot. "Master~ If you don't want to give it, then don't. Did you have to kill me to cover it up?"

"Heh, that hellish ring on your hand must be the one I gave you."

"...Ah, we've been found out, but who would complain about having too much good stuff?"

Hayato Gokudera impatiently interrupted the two, "Hey! You two are really something! Rokudo Mukuro, hurry up and take out the box that you left for yourself ten years from now, and open it with flames."

Rokudo Mukuro looked at Gokudera Hayato and was reminded of the "Gokudera Hayato" from another world who had been dressed in a maid outfit by him, so he happily took out two boxes from his pocket.

Gokudera Hayato: "Huh? Why do you have two boxes?"

Rokudo Mukuro: "You have a bunch wrapped around your waist, and you won't even let me have two." With that, he put the other box back, leaving only the Vongola Box in his hand.

"Tsk." Gokudera Hayato clicked his tongue lightly, not paying any attention to the extra box.

After Rokudo Mukuro successfully opened the box and released the Mukuro Hawk, Gokudera Hayato began to attack the protective shield composed of Dying Will Flames with the others.

Gokudera Hayato: "Damn it, we can't get into the barrier like this."

Takeshi Yamamoto: "Our attack was completely ineffective."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's hands tightened their grip, revealing the Arcobaleno pacifier on Yuni's body, and the others became somewhat impatient.

When Reborn arrived to give Sawada Tsunayoshi a pep talk, Rokudo Mukuro pursed his lips. It's always like this. Sawada Tsunayoshi seems to love chicken soup. No matter what kind of danger or difficulty he encounters, as long as he has people he cares about, people he wants to protect, and people who firmly believe in him behind him, he can always unleash his full potential and turn the tide in adversity. He never lets himself... let the people who care about him down.

This was true in Obsidian in my previous life; it was true during the Ring Wars; and it remains true here.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, despite being bad at studies and sports and being called "Useless Tsuna," was forced to rise step by step to the position of Mafia leader. Yet, this very person never disappointed them.

Rokudo Mukuro couldn't help but think: In truth, they had never disappointed Sawada Tsunayoshi, had they? They steadfastly walked the path they believed was right, yet they had never strayed far from Sawada Tsunayoshi himself. Even he himself was like that; in his previous life, he even died inside the Vongola Castle.

When Byakuran planned to finish off Sawada Tsunayoshi in one move, even Rokudo Mukuro, who knew Sawada Tsunayoshi would be fine, couldn't help but frown.

Things went very smoothly, and the first Vongola made a dashing appearance, freeing Sawada Tsunayoshi and the others from the shackles of the Vongola Rings.

Rokudo Mukuro frowned unhappily as he looked at the mushroom-headed figure that appeared above the ring. In this world, he was the only one who coveted and controlled other people's bodies. This time, this mushroom-headed guy wouldn't be able to touch his body again!

Next comes the scene of Sawada Tsunayoshi beating up Byakuran.

When Byakuran's large white wings were ripped off by Sawada Tsunayoshi, Fran chimed in, "Ah! The wings are gone!"

"Ah, another pair of wings oozing black oil! Does this person have some kind of obsession with wings?"

Rokudo Mukuro, enjoying Byakuran's disheveled state, suddenly intensified the flames on the Vongola Rings. Byakuran's halo disappeared, replaced by a pair of black horns.

Fran gave Rokudo Mukuro a thumbs up, "As expected of Master~ Those horns are very fitting!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Rokudo Mukuro.

Reborn asked with a serious expression, "Wait, Mukuro, how did your illusion magic penetrate this protective barrier and act on Byakuran?"

Rokudo Mukuro twirled the Vongola Ring on his middle finger, "Kufufufu~ Illusion is all-powerful!"

"Mukuro! I don't have time to joke with you." Reborn's expression was more serious than ever before.

Rokudo Mukuro tossed the Vongola Box upwards and caught it again. "While you were explaining their fighting techniques, I found the weakest point in this protective shield and infiltrated it with a flame."

Dino sighed, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Rokudo Mukuro shrugged. "Kufufufu~ I thought you guys were having a good time explaining, and that you really wanted to see Sawada Tsunayoshi looking so pathetic."

"Stop talking." Reborn took out his gun. "Mukuro, point out the weak points. Everyone else, concentrate all your fire and attack with full force."

A crack appeared in the protective shield, and Gamma quickly jumped inside, while Rokudo Mukuro's figure disappeared from the spot.

γ: "Your Highness..."

Yuni was engulfed in flames, tears streaming down her face. "γ..." As long as she saw γ, Yuni felt that death was not so scary.

γ: "It's so hard to see you..." A reassuring smile graced his face. He had decided to die alongside his princess; he didn't want the young princess to be alone. "I won't let you be alone again."

"Kufufufu~ Sorry for interrupting your heartfelt confession!" Rokudo Mukuro appeared beside Yuni.

"skeleton!"

"Rokudo Mukuro!"

When did he go in?

"This guy is always elusive."

Rokudo Mukuro looked at Yuni and Gamma with a smile, "Yuni-chan~ It seems your fate has been broken."

"What do you mean?" Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran both paused, and everyone's eyes were focused on Rokudo Mukuro.

"Mukuro, do you mean you have a way to save Yuni?" Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes were full of hope. He simply couldn't bear to see Yuni die like this.

He hadn't known Rokudo Mukuro for long, but he knew that Rokudo Mukuro was a very capable person and someone he could trust.

Rokudo Mukuro replied sarcastically, "It's all thanks to you, Sawada Tsunayoshi."

Yuni stared at Rokudo Mukuro. After a moment, her eyes widened, tears flowed faster, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.

Rokudo Mukuro comforted him, "Don't cry, your face is all smeared."

As he spoke, he took out the box and handed it to Yuni.

"Let's put out the flames first. Open this box and take a look."

Uni's eyes were red, and she was clutching the pacifier tightly in her arms as she reached out and took the box with trembling hands.

Byakuran tried to pounce on Yuni, but Sawada Tsunayoshi held him back.

Yuni opened the box, and a large amount of flames surged out, even more than the flames Ghost had absorbed before. Yuni guided the flames and poured them into the pacifier.

"This flame... why does it feel so familiar?"

"It looks like my flame inside?!"

"Such a powerful death flame, does that mean Yuni doesn't need to sacrifice herself, right?!"

"That must be it!"

Rokudo Mukuro looked at the Dying Will Flames gushing out of the box and a smile appeared on his lips. These Dying Will Flames could completely drain the parallel world's Sawada Tsunayoshi, Byakuran, and Yuni.

This amount will definitely help Uni completely revive the Rainbow Children.

Bai Lan looked hesitantly at the flame being injected into the nipple, his expression somewhat bewildered. He could feel that his own flame was also inside it.

So, what's going on now? The Arcobaleno have been revived by Uni, the Mare Rings and Vongola Rings have appeared here, seven cubed has reappeared, and the order of this spacetime has been re-established.

His wish to become a timeless overlord and a god of the new era has been shattered?

But why was there his flame? Bai Lan couldn't understand it at all.

Rokudo Mukuro said with a smile, "I had a great trip. The Millefiore family is very friendly and has become an ally of the Vongola family."

He looked at the somewhat bewildered Byakuran and continued, "After Byakuran saw how this world was developing, they kindly provided some flames for me to bring back when I returned."

Bai Lan: So, I ruined my own plans?!

Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated: Can Byakuran be an ally? Then are they still fighting now?

Rokudo Mukuro clapped his hands, pulled Yuni aside, and said, "Alright, you can continue now."
