The book that fell on the ground rose up, and the novel named "Lily" was completely covered in black. Kamiya Izuru calmly watched the book rise up. The next moment, countless books separated from it, and each one was flying towards the onlookers.

The people present screamed and ran in the opposite direction.

"What kind of power is this?" Bai Lan stared at the miserable situation below, with a gleam in her eyes, "It's really interesting."

However, Sawada Tsunayoshi had no mood to appreciate or admire. He quickly called for reinforcements. Before the reinforcements arrived, he fell to the ground in his cloak. The orange-red flames quickly formed a cover, protecting everyone inside. The black books could not be destroyed by the flames, but they could not enter the flames either.

"Oh, isn't this too boring?" Bai Lan stretched out his hand, and the Black Magic Spell followed his gesture and pulled the bow and arrow in the air. Countless flaming arrows were aimed directly at Sawada Tsuneyoshi who was resisting No alone.

"Don't you want to see the power that can destroy the world without relying on the flame of death, Tenth Generation of Vongola?!"

"Power does not exist to destroy the world!"

"You said something very true." Bai Lan laughed. "You always say this, no matter which world you are in. As the tenth generation of Vongola, you will always say this, even before your death. But you are wrong about Sawada Tsunayoshi. Power exists to allow people to do whatever they want."

Sawada Tsunayoshi clenched his hands tightly, and the wind waves generated by the flames blew the cloak on his body, "You are the wrong person."

"You are so pitiful, Bai Lan. You don't even have anything to protect, so you let yourself go to the extreme. You are a truly pitiful person."

"Hahaha." Bai Lan Jesuo laughed, "Then let's see who is more pitiful."

Tsunayoshi Sawada wants to protect humanity and the world, and he also wants to find the source of this terrible incident. As for Byakuran, he is just playing, and destroying the world is just a choice he made after getting tired of the game. If he finds something interesting, he will slow down the process of destroying the world.

Obviously, that No was his new target.

So Sawada Tsunayoshi also has to prevent Nuo from being caught by Byakuran.

Once Nuo and Bai Lan join forces, the world will truly be destroyed.

Kamukura Izuru ignored the fight over there, nor did he enter Sawada Tsunayoshi's protection circle. He stood outside the flames and looked at the woman inside, with no wavering in his red eyes.

Nuo looked at Kamizuru and smiled. "Have you ever lost something important?"

"I lost him before." Kamukura Izuru's voice was very flat, more like a casual perfunctory response than an answer, "But I will find him back."

Nuo blinked. "Really? Looks like you found him."

"Of course."

"That's great." Nuo opened her hands, and a book appeared in her hands. She smiled, and the flames burned up her arms. "But some things, once lost, can never be found again."

"That's your problem."

Nuo was stunned for a moment, she raised her head and looked at Kamijou Izuru. In her eyes, Kamijou Izuru's long hair was surging with the air waves generated by the burning flames. He looked the same as before, but now he was full of oppression, as if this body had become a different person.

"You are forced to lose something important to you and cannot get it back. This is your problem because you are too weak."

"It's so boring." Kamiya Deru's voice had a flat tone, as if it was a synthesized voice in an AI software, without any emotion or normal ups and downs in tone, only a strong sense of machinery.

"Instead of complaining about the fate, you should think about why you can't become stronger."

Nuo's fingers trembled, and she raised her hands. After a moment, she murmured, "Because I'm too weak?"

"Want to make yourself stronger?"

Nuo smiled bitterly and put her hand down. "But there is no way to become stronger. Thank you for your advice."

[… She’s too polite.] Hinata Hajime murmured in the spiritual world, [Although she likes to say some strange things, her attitude and words are like a normal person, even a normal person who doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable when you are with her.]

[Her power resides in books. The books she handles will become her power.] Kamuzuru Izuru said calmly, [But, at the same time, her past can be glimpsed in her books.]

Hinata Sou was stunned for a moment, [You mean, if we collect all her books, we can find out everything about her past? ]

[This person is not her real self, but just a shadow of her that lives in the book. She appears here only because the author of this book is here.]

Hinata Hajime looked at the book titled "Lily" on the ground and nodded to show that he understood.

"That is to say, the book that is wreaking havoc outside, and the No herself that occasionally appears around the book, are most likely her afterimages?" Hinata Hajime murmured, "Why doesn't she show up? Is the Fragment of Despair staying in her book to spread despair bit by bit?"

"In this world, there is a definition of soul."

Noi in front of him was still smiling, and she quickly disappeared in the flames. Kamiya Izuru picked up the book named "Lily" from the ground.

The fight between Sawada Tsunayoshi and Byakuran continues, Black Curse is blocked by the Vongola members who come to support him, and a tentative battle begins.

Obviously, Byakuran did not intend to start a war with Sawada Tsunayoshi so soon. To Byakuran, he was more interested in Yuno. If he started a war with the Vongola now, he would not have time to find more fun. So, just like when he came, Byakuran left with a smile.

Seeing Byakuran and Black Magic leave, Sawada Tsunayoshi breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the barrier, and the Vongola members behind him hurried to check the casualties.

Except for a few who were trampled while running away, most people were not injured. Sawada Tsunayoshi did not talk to Kamukura Izuru, but just turned around and left calmly, like a normal leader.

Not long after Sawada Tsunayoshi left, Kamiza Izuru received a message from him.

"Is Mr. Hinata okay?"

"It's okay." Kamiya Izuru answered calmly. At this time, he was walking in the North District Base, surrounded by people who were still in panic.

"That's good. I asked Reborn to create a fake identity for you. You are currently a Vongola member who was injured on the battlefield and was placed in the base to recuperate." Sawada Tsunayoshi said, "I didn't expect Byakuran to find this place. I need time to find out where he got the information from. So Mr. Hinata, I'm counting on you."

Kamiya Izuru didn't answer, he just hung up the phone.

There was a busy tone on the communicator. Sawada Tsunayoshi was stunned for a moment. He glanced at the communicator screen and then suddenly realized, "Ah, the call was hung up."

"What? How dare you hang up the tenth generation's phone!" After hearing that something happened here, Hayato Jigokudera rushed over at full speed and jumped up and down, "Why don't I remember him being such an impolite person!"

"It should be another Hyuga-san." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "I haven't been hung up on for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable. But Hyuga-san is still Hyuga-san, too lazy to listen to my nonsense."

Jigokudera Hayato clenched his fists, "You can't hang up on the Judaime!"

"Okay, hell." Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled, then turned his head and looked ahead. "Rather than getting tangled up in this, let's first find out how the news was leaked."

Hearing this, the childishness of Jigokudera Hayato disappeared completely, and he said solemnly, "Please leave it to me. I will definitely find the person who leaked the information, Tenth Generation."

"Then I'll leave it to you. As the owner of the Marel Ring, Byakuran is likely to travel through parallel worlds. Our people may not always be loyal to us. Please pay attention to those who are dissatisfied with the Vongola."

"learn."

On the other side, Kamijou Izuru was sitting in the room assigned to him. He opened the book in his hand. Before this, Hinata Hajime had only read the title page and the author's name, but did not see the content.

[Can I really get in touch with No's past by looking at this?] Hinata Hajime murmured, [Although the Fragments of Despair are unscientific, it is a bit too unscientific to know a person's past by reading a book.]

【Outflow? 】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment. He stood up in the spiritual world and called out another person's name, [Kamizuki Izuru?]

The other party did not respond to him. Hinata Sou tried to gain control of the body and got it easily. Hinata Sou flipped the book in his hand strangely, and found that the book named "Lily" in his hand was blank, with only white paper inside.

Returning to the spiritual world, Hinata Hajime finally felt something heavy in his arms. He lowered his head, and the next moment he saw Kamukura Izuru with his eyes closed.

He seemed to be asleep, breathing lightly, with long black hair draped on the ground. If you looked at him from behind, he might really look like a tall girl.

Hinata Hajime held him in his arms, feeling Kamijou Izuru's body temperature, but his emerald eyes were slowly filled with anxiety.

"No," Hinata Hajime murmured, "Izuku would never fall asleep unconsciously like this."

"Something must have happened."

…

Everyone who comes into contact with this book will fall into a state of despair, leading them to madness and endless pain. Only those who have enough self-control can successfully get rid of the influence, then these books are just ordinary books to them.

But even for Tsunayoshi Sawada, all his sad past was dug up when he first came across this book.

He was bullied in his childhood, was ridiculed for his poor grades in school, his mother was criticized, or he was in a mess when he first became the leader. He always made jokes because he had not received systematic mafia family teaching. Even though he was recognized by the ninth generation, he was still envied by some old-fashioned people in the family... All those bad memories were presented to Tsunayoshi Sawada, asking him to make a choice.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada chose reality.

"You said that you lost something important, but you can find it back." Nuo floated in the air, and she looked at the Kamisaki Izuru on the ground with sympathy. "But, a statement without factual basis is not credible at all. Prove it to me."

"When you lose all your ability and struggle, what will you choose?"

Kamiya looked at her calmly with his red eyes, "You are really boring."

"This is just a dream." No smiled. "Isn't this what despair is? It's just the inability to accept reality."

The next moment, Shenzuo found himself standing on a river. He lowered his head and saw countless people trapped underwater. Some of them were struggling to get out, while others had already closed their eyes. They curled up peacefully, as if they regarded the bottom of the water as their home.

Mirrors appeared around Kamizuru Izuru, reflecting his figure, but the person in each mirror was not him.

In the first mirror, Kamijou Izuru was sitting up on the operating table, his red eyes staring coldly at everyone around him.

"On the first day of your birth, you killed your most precious thing. Oh, Senior God, you are so amazing. Even I can't bring myself to do it when I am so desperate!" That familiar, artificial voice of despair echoed in my ears.

"It's been who knows how many days since I was born, who cares!" Enoshima Junko's voice laughed, "You destroyed your past."

On the mirror is the suicide of all the students in the Department of Preparation, and Chiaki Nanami being pierced through the heart by thousands of arrows.

"You are the artificial God of Hope created by Hope's Peak Academy, but you are also the super high school level Despair who created the biggest and most evil Despair incident. You are at least half to blame for the world becoming like this. You abandoned your past and your personality as Hinata Hajime, but you shamefully regret it."

"So, what did you see during that class refereeing?"

The last class trial was repeated on the mirror in front of Kamuzura Izuru. The Hyuga Sou personality who was found was at a loss about the choice that would lead to his disappearance. He did not admit that he was Kamuzura Izuru, nor did he believe that he was really the mastermind behind everyone's infighting.

Hinata Hajime does not agree with Kamuzuru Izuru.

No one would understand why the person who awakens from the New World Program would not be completely Hinata Hajime. Even before, Hinata Hajime claimed that his personality had merged with Kamijou Izuru's, which was very strange. Logically, the person who emerges from the New World Program would have his personality completely covered, and the only person who would appear would be Hinata Hajime and not Kamijou Izuru.

They merged so magically that they even coexisted as one.

However, Hinata Hajime did not agree with Kamizuru Izuru at the beginning. His attitude when he had no memory was his true attitude.

Kamiya felt himself sinking, and his body fell into the water little by little.

"You have found your most important thing, but you have destroyed everything he had."

"Why do you think he wouldn't resent you?"

Kamukura Izuru looked at Nuo calmly, "Even if he hates me, it's our business and has nothing to do with you."

"Things that have been dug out of one's heart will have cracks even if they are put back, and they can never go back." Nuo murmured, "You understand it yourself, right? That crack has always been there. Your existence is the reason why he has never been happy."

Kamizuru was still sinking, he moved a bit and found that he couldn't move at all. The more he moved, the faster his body sank, so he tried to reach out his hand.

At that moment, Kamiya felt someone holding his hand.

Hinata Hajime pulled him out of the water with a smile, his emerald eyes filled with warmth.

“You are not right.”

Hinata Hajime held Kamuzura Izuru in his arms, "Since you are targeting our despair, how can you only bring Izuru here? We are one person, so we should target him together."

"You..." Nuo looked at Hinata Hajime in surprise.

"Want to know how I got here? As I just said, we are one person, so of course we can be anywhere together."

Hinata Hajime looked at Nuo, "Just now you said that if something is dug out of your heart and put back, there will be cracks, right?"

"You are right. That is correct. Anything that is taken out of its original place will be damaged."

"Then go and fix it." Hinata Hajime said, "You can use colorful materials or ugly clay. Even if you can't restore it to its original appearance, no one will stop you from repairing the wound."

"Be it the despair of a super high school level, or everything that was once buried."

"I admit it."

Hinata Hajime's green eyes were filled with determination, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and I will move forward into the future with Izuku."

"You don't need to worry about me."
