The other world is about to collapse because there is not enough flame energy to continuously "charge" the cornerstone of the world.

The system can exchange enough flames at one time to ensure the stability of the other world for a short period of time. But Shi Wu and the system cannot stay in this world for too long, so they need to leave the vest behind as the stable human sacrifice.

But the vest itself has no flame, it is redeemed by the system - so at this moment, the system needs to make certain changes.

He needs to "repair" this vest so that the vest itself can continue to produce flames uninterruptedly.

"And the cloud flame, its attribute is proliferation." Shi Wu was holding a pillow made to look like a cloud, sitting against a tree, with a high-tech suspended screen in front of him.

The background is still the lakeside forest created by Shiwu, and the way he hugged the pillow and leaned against the tree seemed a bit out of place.

Shiwu sighed to the system: "It's really reassuring to leave it to you."

Because the system cannot provide flames for a long time, why not just let the flames multiply by themselves...

Of course, the process in between is not that simple, and the system rarely explains these troublesome things to Shiwu.

Anyway, now it is -

"The vest was lost in that world as a Jinchuriki. We need to stay here temporarily to ensure the feasibility of this method." Shiwu looked at the vest of Sawada Tsunayoshi on the screen, and complained: "But why did the vest become a child...!"

Maybe the complaining factor in Sawada Tsunayoshi's vest is still retained, and Shiwu's current performance is particularly childish. He looked at the tiny kid on the screen in front of him and felt powerless to complain.

"So as long as you have anything to do with the seventieth power, you will shrink like the Rainbow Baby's curse?"

On the screen, the abandoned vest is currently hiding in the Avengers Prison - yes, that's right, the Avengers Prison.

The organization at the deepest part of the Mafia.

The system blocked other people and opened up a space specifically for the vest to stay. The glass jar that previously stored the vest was also sent to that world.

The current vest is still stable, except... it has become much younger.

I didn't feel it before, but a little kid of about five or six years old, with his eyes closed, suspended in a glass jar, combined with the darkness around him, felt quite... Shi Wu touched his chest and felt a strong sense of guilt.

Until the system confirms that the vest is stable, they have to continue to stay in this world.

This process is actually quite boring. Shi Wu doesn't stare at the child all the time. He is more in a daze.

Shi Wu has no feeling of the passage of time - or rather, there is no concept of time in the system space.

As he watched the false clouds floating in the sky, the screen that had not changed suddenly flickered for a while like a snow screen.

After Shi Wu focused his attention on it, after a few minutes, the snow screen disappeared, and to his surprise, the black background disappeared. And his vest, which should not have life, actually opened its eyes.

But the pupils, which should have been warm brown, were now lifeless and empty - because this was just a body, and there was no soul.

And the system also spoke at this time, saying: [Okay, let's go. ]

Shi Wu paused for a while and asked, "What will happen to him?"

[The vest does not have life characteristics, but the flame represents vitality. When I inject flames into it (the vest), the body will produce vitality and naturally have life. ]

[But just because the body is "alive" does not mean that it has become a real human being. 】

There was still no emotion in the system's words, but Shi Wu refused and left immediately.

"Wait a minute." He said so.

The system did not ask him why, but instead sped up the "video" on the screen a lot.

Shi Wu was not quite sure where they were, but it should be between the worlds, so the system could "speed up the flow" and see the future.

So Shi Wu saw it.

He saw the soulless body being sent to a place-Sawada House.

Shi Wu was not surprised at all.

He even guessed who did this.

Who else would do this except the extremely gentle Sawada Tsunayoshi?

Shi Wu's mouth curled up: "Let's go."

【Don't you want to continue watching? 】

"It doesn't matter, what happens next has nothing to do with us." Shi Wu said with a smile.

After Tokichi left, Sawada Tsunayoshi naturally moved the base. He told others about the cloud-attribute flame at that time.

Uni's expression was very calm, but Irie Shoichi widened his eyes in shock and said, "Impossible!"

"The flame detected on Tsunayoshi's body should be of the nature of the sky! I have detected it before, and it is definitely not wrong!" Irie Shoichi emphasized. "

The attribute of the flame is a manifestation of the soul. A person may have more than one kind of flame, such as Jigokuji, who has five attributes."

"But... the attribute of the sky is special. The sky contains everything, but you will only be the sky, not another kind..." Irie Shoichi muttered more and more.

Bai Lan flew in from the window: "Xiao Zheng is still the same, isn't this very simple?"

He smiled frivolously and casually: "It's just forcibly transforming the properties of the flame energy."

"It's not that simple!" Irie Masakazu frowned: "Daisy's ability is harmony, all flames can be harmonized, absorbed or used by Tsuneyoshi-kun.

But to transform Daisy's flame, which already has the property of harmony, into another property, it is almost like destroying his soul and remaking it!"

Bai Lan glanced at him coldly: "Look, Xiao Zheng, don't you know how to do it?"

Irie Masakazu froze.

Sawada Tsuneyoshi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said to Irie Shoichi: "Shoichi, please observe that world again."

Then he turned to the girl in the white dress and said: "Yuni, would you like to talk to me?"

"Of course, Mr. Tsuneyoshi." Yuni replied gently.

Bai Lan looked left and right, and found that he was left behind again. He pouted and flew out of the window to find his guardians.

On the other side, Sawada Tsukichi spoke to Yuni - he originally wanted to ask Yuni if ​​she had known about it for a long time, but found that there was no need to ask this question.

So he asked instead: "What will he do."

"Don't worry, Mr. Tsukichi." Yuni recalled the brief conversation she had with the boy before: "That was his decision."

Sawada Tsukichi did not comment on this.

"He needs flames, countless flames, powerful flames." Yuni sighed and placed her hand on her heart: "We are the sky, and the sky coordinates everything."

"But the sky cannot proliferate on its own." Yuni said the answer she had already seen, "So he needs cloud-attributed flames."

"-A large amount of inexhaustible flames that can proliferate on their own."

"As Mr. Shoichi said, flames are the manifestation of our souls. Changing the properties of flames is equivalent to crushing the soul and redrawing it."

"He can choose not to do that, he can run away. Just like I did back then." Yuni looked up, looking into Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes, her voice very soft: "But we all know that he won't do that."

"...Don't worry, Mr. Tsunayoshi." The girl who was the sky lowered her eyes: "His soul is no longer hurt, it's just... buried in the deepest place."

"Please go ahead and do it." Yuni once again knew the answer clearly, and said to Tsunayoshi Sawada in a soothing tone: "You are not late, Mr. Tsunayoshi."

Hearing these words, Tsunayoshi Sawada recalled the look in his eyes at that time - the child was blaming him for not coming earlier.

But the emotion of this moment just arose, and was forcibly dispersed by the child himself. The underage boy even felt guilty and sorry for having such emotions.

But Tsunayoshi Sawada had no way not to care about this matter.

This emotion is difficult to be relieved, but Tsunayoshi Sawada's performance to the outside world is no different from usual.

Shoichi Irie went to a specialized laboratory in Italy to explore the current situation of another world.

One year later.

Shoichi Irie successfully connected to that world, and at the same time determined that the possibility of the world's collapse was controlled and became stable.

At the same time, because of the relationship as an isotope, Shoichi Irie found the child who suddenly left a year ago through Tsunayoshi Sawada - the familiar glass jar, the familiar darkness.

Wearing the upgraded molecular device costume of Shoichi Irie, Tsunayoshi Sawada appeared in the parallel world ten years ago.

He picked up the comatose child from the glass jar in the dark.

After leaving the glass jar of the Avengers Prison, the comatose teenager - or boy, slowly opened his eyes as if stung by the sunlight.

Before Tsunayoshi Sawada could open his mouth or smile, he saw those empty and lifeless brown eyes.

——He had seen such eyes before, on Uni.

A body without a soul, with such eyes.

[“Tsunayoshi, we can’t take him away. He is the cornerstone of the world now. Once he leaves that world, that world will collapse immediately!”]

Tsunayoshi Sawada was silent for a long time, and finally, he sighed.

Japan is prosperous.

Nana Sawada is a person who loves life. Even if her husband is not around, she can still make every day of her life very happy.

A year ago, she saw a surprise. Even if they were only together for half an hour, now, she still feels happy and satisfied.

Today is just the most ordinary day in daily life. She pushed open the door of the room, but her eyes widened in shock.

A small child was curled up at the door of her room, and a small gift box was placed next to it. The child had a face similar to hers, with a comfortable and calm expression.

As if awakened by her, the pair of lifeless and empty eyes opened, which made Sawada Nana lose the ability to speak.

Sawada Nana squatted down, looked directly at the little child, and then-gently held the child in her arms.

On this ordinary morning, she embraced the miracle that was born because of her.

In the sequel to the screen video that Shi Wu had never seen-the soulless body, the silent and empty pupils, one day in the future, like a tiny candle, a small spark was lit.

The body that was originally used as a tool, under the influence of love day after day, gave birth to a little soul that no one had ever expected.

On this day, Nana Sawada looked at the little child who was growing up and could not speak like an exquisite doll, and looked at her with a pair of eyes that were slightly lit up, and hesitantly and doubtfully called out that beautiful name that seemed like a dream.

He said: "...Mom, Mom?"

Nana Sawada shed tears of joy, and the gift that came to this house with this child - a wind chime with a painting of blue sky and white clouds, was dancing alone with the rhythm of the wind, making a crisp sound.

This day was Nana Sawada's birthday. She got the best birthday gift in the world.

The author has something to say: Shi Wu: So I said, what happens next has nothing to do with me.
