Chapter 935 - 48: Disappearance

Chapter 935: Chapter 48: Disappearance

"Hmm... Why is that..."

She rubbed her eyes vigorously, feeling the discomfort and murkiness in them slightly alleviated.

Only then did Yatsugaya Miko once again widen her beautiful and delicate eyes, seemingly as flawless and complete as black pearls, like gemstones, and continue looking over there.

However, although the discomfort was somewhat relieved, and her eyes no longer stung repeatedly, her heart remained filled with doubts and anxiety, also unable to suppress her unease, just like any ordinary girl suddenly facing such problems would feel scared.

What happened to my eyes?

Could I be going blind?

For a moment, numerous fearful thoughts flooded in, occupying her mind, causing the slender girl’s body to tremble involuntarily, with her thin shoulders lightly shaking.

This association is indeed quite frightening, and no normal person would willingly accept such a fate, making her reaction understandable.

"It should... It should probably just be that my eyes were dazzled, that’s right, the flash just now was too sudden, and too dazzling..."

This girl with long black straight hair, who always exudes a sense of calmness, quickly found a reasonable explanation, believing it very likely to be the cause. At the same time, she was comforting herself while her mind was frantically racing.

Because she was both worried that something was wrong with her eyes and suspecting she saw something she shouldn’t have, intuitively considering the former, but inexplicably feeling it might be the latter. After all, after this time, even if dull, she should realize her eyes seem somewhat special.

——It can be said that from the day her Spiritual Vision suddenly awakened, able to see Evil Spirits...

——Her eyes have been subtly off.

Perhaps now too, she inexplicably felt she might be seeing more things, maybe even the "truth" of the world.

Deep down in the girl’s heart, such a thought couldn’t help but arise, although there’s no evidence, nor could she be sure, yet when the thought started to take root... her perception inevitably drifted in this direction. Ultimately, a person’s perception and thoughts are closely related.

"Hmm..."

Taking a deep breath, probably to prove her notion, she again wiped her tear-smeared eyes, trying hard to see clearly the happenings across from her.

"Please, please..."

Yatsugaya Miko tightly pursed her lips, muttering softly. Her tears couldn’t stop appearing due to discomfort, blurring her vision too, but under such circumstances, it seemed not to hinder her from seeing some strange things.

——Strange.

——Really quite strange!

It was a scene completely beyond the girl’s understanding.

In the high sky, the Twin Witches were flashing like phantoms, seemingly gradually losing their tangible entity in Yatsugaya Miko’s eyes.

Their figures were as if sketches on a painted scroll, no matter how vivid, lively their images, no matter how real, at this moment, in Miko’s view, like figures on a painting, forever illusory, forever fake.

Just need a gentle rub with an eraser.

Then the lines sketching their figures would directly disappear...

What is this?

Yatsugaya Miko tightly pursed her lips, staring at this absurd yet incomprehensible scene. She wasn’t sure if she was truly seeing the crazy truth of the world or due to psychological effects, making the scene increasingly bewildering, bizarre, and grotesque.

The oddity was rampant, like an elaborate magical performance——

She even began to feel all she saw became suddenly unreliable.

Seeing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s real; all events and trajectories don’t follow one’s expectations.

"What is this..."

Yatsugaya Miko tightly bit her teeth; her thoughts were somewhat chaotic, seemingly unable to seriously contemplate at this moment, yet seemingly considered countless thoughts instantly.

She continued widening her eyes, hoping to see more clearly, but there was no change. The two Demon Exorcists flashing like phantoms had indifferent expressions, as if a switch were flipped, completely suppressing emotions.

No longer felt human.

Or perhaps it’s because they are purely "human," being the most unhuman existence.

Hard to describe that feeling; it’s as if they are not merely human, not even a person. Despite being individual entities, there’s a sensation as if countless others are simultaneously present, one body transforming into a massive crowd’s gathering.

Even Yatsugaya Miko had a fleeting illusion, feeling she strangely experienced a split in Spirit——

Though standing here, in the office, gazing towards the horizon from the window, seeing the magical battlefield’s scenes unfolding.

But...

Before her eyes, bizarre images frequently flashed by, as if she were in the high sky, assuming those two Demon Exorcist girls’ perspectives, watching "her own" body acting, launching attacks towards the opposite, seemingly becoming Kenshan Yellow Springs or Togami Kagura.

That’s actually because the Twin Witches are currently the vessel of Araiyer consciousness.

As a collective subconscious transformed of all humanity, it naturally embodies the consciousness, experience, knowledge of countless people. So, in a sense, it’s both Araiyer consciousness in proxy battles and essentially seen as worldwide people conducting proxy battles.

At this moment, everyone turned into light!

But others didn’t have the keen perception like Yatsugaya Miko, especially at this moment, the girl’s explosively growing sensory ability allowed her to perceive more realities, resulting in such a magical chemical reaction that enabled her to detect the occurrence of this process in reverse.

Perhaps it was because of this that her sensory ability was stimulated, leading to explosive growth.

"Mmm—!!"

Her brain felt heated again, not in a sensory way but in a physical sense. The girl struggled hard, stubbornly staring at the Twin Witches, even though their forms had completely disappeared in her eyes at this moment.

As if time was reversing, she could clearly see the bodies of both disappearing, transforming from tangible to intangible, with flesh becoming transparent.

Like following a certain principle of regression, ultimately, the existence itself was retraced into the void Qi.

Even the concept itself ceased to exist...

—Boom!

Yatsugaya Miko felt a shock in her mind, like breaking through an obstacle, suddenly making everything clear in front of her.

She felt her consciousness suddenly emerge from her body, as if being summoned by some force, pulling her spirit out. The world was spinning, distances quickly drifted away, and all sounds and movements abruptly disappeared, seeming not to exist anymore.

Like a mix of dream and reality, her light consciousness was rotating in a vast and empty labyrinth.

Something was whizzing past at great speed beside her, at first, she didn’t realize, but in the myriad of bizarre and turbulent scenes, layered like raging waves, she caught a glimpse of events she had experienced before.

A strong thrill surged from the depths of her heart, and Yatsugaya Miko suddenly understood what this was!

This is the fast-forward of history, or rather, the flow of the timeline itself!

Everything, whether matter or space-time, raced by her perception, all rushing toward a singularity at the speed of light!

In the perpetual flow of time, her consciousness seemed to spread out, resonating with the world. Immersing in this grand flow, her perspective unconsciously rose higher, vaguely noticing everything familiar to her frozen in place, like a stagnant photograph.

Everything from great to small, from near to far.

In the sky, on Earth, beyond the distant edge of time.

She vaguely saw the collapse of the Human World, witnessed the end of the planet itself, unsure of whether it was thousands or tens of thousands of years later. Yet, within just a few minutes, she seemingly watched the world complete its life span, as Earth’s surface lights dimmed and eventually extinguished.

At this point—

The girl reaching the end felt herself starting an interminable fall under gravity’s pull.

If this were a nightmare, she would probably awaken immediately... but unfortunately, this was an ongoing transcendent phenomenon happening in reality.

Time, paused, began to flow again, but it wasn’t that the terminated humanity had a chance to continue. Rather, she began to reverse from the future. Previously browsed time, all turned into past scenery, and she saw history retreating in flow.

Before she knew it, she had already returned to her familiar time node.

Then...

She saw it.

The Divine Hand gently brushed over the balance, infusing new parameters into an originally mundane world. Like the scene of God’s creation over seven days, within a single thought, the entire world was rewritten by higher-dimensional forces. In quantum entanglement, the river of time wiped away many possibilities and simultaneously birthed numerous new branches.

In this macroscopic and mysterious transcendental perception, the girl suddenly saw the emergence of things and people that didn’t exist before.

Demon Exorcist...

Mind Industry...

The ancient society of Spiritual Ability Users...

—All these inheritances and developments appeared out of nowhere, as if the world itself deliberately displayed the inconceivable.

"So that’s it..."

"So that’s how it is!"

A whispering voice echoed, accompanied by a certain cracking sound deep within her heart.

It seemed like something shattered directly.

......

...

In reality.

As if perfect purple Gemstone eyes flickered with astonishment and clarity.

Kenshan Yellow Springs, upon awakening, shockingly and fearfully discovered that she was disappearing!
