"Blaze Release: Honoikazuchi!"

Black flame spikes radiating lightning were released from his body, instantly piercing through the multiple Masachika that were attacking.

The black gas shattered and then reformed into Masachika's main body, but his form was noticeably fainter, clearly having sustained significant damage.

"That's enough."

"Did you know? Catching an ant is much more troublesome than killing it directly."

"Just surrender, okay?"

Tenya condensed the skull-like large hand of Susanoo and grabbed Masachika.

"You... dream on!"

Masachika's body rapidly expanded, then exploded, turning back into black gas that scattered and fled.

Tenya had already anticipated his opponent's actions and raised his hand.

Ice-Make: Silver!

The entire void was frozen into a world of ice.

When the black gas touched the ice imbued with "Devil Slayer" effect, it sizzled like fire meeting water.

Unable to escape, the black gas could only gather together once more, reforming Masachika's main body. After multiple severe injuries, his form became even dimmer and thinner.

Before he could make his next move, two large golden Nine-Tails Chakra hands rose from the ground and clasped together, completely restraining Masachika.

"Now, you really can't move at all."

Tenya saw his opponent's weakened state at a glance, realizing there was no possibility of resistance.

"What exactly do you want?"

After the strange power in his body was severely weakened, Masachika regained some of his sanity.

However, he still harbored strong jealousy and deep hostility towards Tenya.

"I'll send you to Buddhahood. Before that, I can let you see your sister one last time." Tenya was concise.

"No!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I don't want to disappear!"

Masachika's obsession was deep, and he was unwilling to accept the cruel reality of his death.

"That's not up to you."

Tenya controlled the Nine-Tails Chakra, and the golden large hands compressed further.

"Hmph, ahhh!"

Masachika was in immense pain from the pressure.

"Don't worry about Suou."

"Your sister, I will raise her. Do not worry."

Tenya used both carrot and stick, attempting to persuade his opponent.

"It's precisely because of guys like you that I can't hand Yuki over to you!"

Masachika had once returned to Sobu High School, and his reluctance to part with his classmates and friends was also his longing for his school life.

Therefore, he had also heard about Tenya.

Good heavens...

He was practically green with envy!!!

Especially when he thought about Tenya's relationship with Alisa, he was driven mad with jealousy.

However, precisely because he knew that Tenya possessed great power, Masachika didn't dare to approach.

He could only return home and protect his sister, Suou Yuki.

Who would have thought that he wouldn't seek trouble with Tenya, yet the latter would come knocking on his door instead!

This is outrageous!

It's one thing to steal my dream girl, but now you even want to take my sister?

This is absolutely unbearable!

Even if Masachika doesn't enter the cycle of reincarnation and is never reborn, he will not abandon his sister.

"Your inner voice is too much."

"And it's so disgusting..."

"I've already given you a chance."

"Since you don't want it, don't blame me for forcing you to submit."

Tenya's eyes widened.

Genjutsu control!

The battle between Tenya and Masachika in the void only lasted a few seconds in reality.

"Tenya-kun?"

From Alisa's perspective, Tenya stared at the dark, strange mass in front of him for a moment, and then there was no movement.

"Suou, do you want to see your older brother again?" Tenya suddenly asked.

"Eh..."

"See older brother again? This, is this really possible?"

Although she didn't understand why he would say that, a glimmer of hope still appeared in Yuki's eyes.

"There's not much time left, you two say your goodbyes properly..."

Tenya placed his hand on the strange mass in front of him. The black gas dissipated, revealing a figure wrapped in golden light.

This was Masachika's fragmented soul filled with the Nine-Tails' Chakra, making him visible to the ordinary people Yuki and Ayano.

"Older brother...?!!"

"Masachika?!"

The two girls' eyes widened, gazing at their deceased loved one with intense emotion.

"It's me..."

"Sorry, Yuki and Ayano, for making you worry."

At this moment, Masachika, bathed in the golden Chakra, appeared incredibly sacred.

However, what no one knew was...

Masachika's consciousness was being controlled by Tenya's pupil technique.

"The dead cannot be brought back to life..."

"You must control your grief and live well."

Masachika comforted the heartbroken two girls.

"No!"

"I don't want to be separated from older brother!"

"Waaah waah waah! If you die, how will I live?!" Yuki wailed, tears streaming down her face.

"Be good, Yuki."

"There are many people in the world who care about you."

"For example... this one..."

"Yoshida Tenya is a very excellent man..."

"You..."

"You can..."

"Treat him..."

"As me..."

"Try to fall in love with him."

When Masachika said this, his face twisted.

However, under the absolute control of the Genjutsu, he was powerless to resist.

"Treat him as older brother?"

"This..."

Yuki looked at Tenya with a bewildered expression.

Looking closely, the other party was even more handsome than her older brother and carried an inexplicable affinity.

Definitely a high-quality male!

It doesn't seem that hard to accept?

"I understand..."

"I will try to respect Yoshida... Tenya, just like I respected Masachika!" Ayano was the first to express her stance.

"This... is that really okay? Masachika, you're really putting me in a tough spot!"

Tenya looked troubled.

"No need to decline, Tenya..."

"Handing Yuki over to you, I'm very relieved..."

Shut up!

You devil!!!

Masachika roared with unparalleled despair in his heart.

However, the words that came out of his mouth inexplicably turned into a dying entrustment.

"Ah!"

"Since it's Masachika's request, then I'll reluctantly agree."

Tenya frowned, appearing very troubled.

No one could tell that his heart was blooming with joy at this moment.

"Older brother..."

"Masachika..."

Yuki and Ayano, their faces bathed in tears, silently watched Masachika, as if they had endless heartfelt words to share.
