…
On the rooftop, the fierce battle continues.
Although Sephiroth from the other world had the help of Whispers, he gradually showed signs of defeat under the siege of Shen Ye and others.
He is very powerful, and now even more powerful than Sephiroth of this world, but his power is limited, because in the final analysis, he is just a spirit summoned by the fate of this world.
With the help of Whispers, he could still hold out against Shen Ye and his men, but after those Shinra special forces assembled their heavy sniper rifles, the bullets fired from their weapons inlaid with magic crystals shattered his counterattacks again and again.
"If you lose, your destiny will also lose." During the battle, Sephiroth of this world said coldly. His cat-like vertical pupils no longer showed the indifference of the past, but a bit of satisfaction. As long as his life was saved, he could survive.
He... doesn't want to die.
Even though he was the successor of Jenova, he didn't know when he began to have a sense of nostalgia for this world.
This is probably the result of a change in fate.
However, when the other Sephiroth heard this, there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes, but his heart was full of hatred.
In his world line, he had already killed Aerith, and was defeated by Cloud and returned to the Big Void, so he hated why he could survive in this world.
He was already in danger as he was besieged by several people. Even with Whispers's constant assistance, he was slowly suppressed and beaten.
But he was not panicking, because he heard a voice in his ears. The voice was illusory, but it told him clearly that he should hold on for a while, and someone would come to help him soon.
"Who could it be? Could it be him?" Although the voice did not tell him who was coming to help him, he seemed to have guessed it.
boom!
Amid the loud explosion, Shen Ye used the Hui Tian Xuan Ming Sword to repel the other Sephiroth. When he was about to take the opportunity to attack again, a sword energy broke through the air and stopped his attack.
"Cloud, what are you doing?"
Aerith's voice sounded from behind Shen Ye. Shen Ye turned his head and saw Cloud's figure appearing on the edge of the rooftop. The sword energy just now was cut out by him.
Cloud heard Aerith's voice, his lifeless eyes wavered slightly, and then he calmed down again. In his ears, the devilish voice was still echoing. He slowly looked at Aerith, then slowly looked at Tifa, and whispered: "You... are mine."
In addition to asking him to take back everything that belonged to him, the demonic voice also played some images in his mind. That was the future of the original world line. In the future images, he saw Aerith and Tifa following him, and both women looked at him with loving eyes.
However, now these two women were standing behind another man, and in an instant, his heart was filled with hatred.
"I will take back everything that belongs to me." Cloud raised the giant sword, pointed it at Shen Ye from a distance, then strode forward and slashed at him with the sword.
But he was blocked by Sephiroth from this world halfway.
"Isn't it good to be a mercenary honestly? Why... Oh, so it wants to fight one last time?" Sephiroth in this world put away his doubts. He understood why Cloud, who was content with the status quo, came.
"Fate! It's really... wonderful." Sephiroth in this world turned his head and glanced at Shen Ye, and shouted: "You deal with him, and I will deal with Cloud. After it's over, I will return to the Great Void."
"Okay!" Shen Ye always felt that Cloud's existence was a trouble, but because he was once the "protagonist", under the influence of the previous plot, he did not want to kill Cloud at first. But now, if he wants to completely change the plot of this world, he can only kill him.
And letting him die at the hands of Sephiroth in this world might be a fatal blow to the fate of this world, causing him to completely give up the idea of correcting the world line.
Thus, a new round of battle began.
Shen Ye, Tifa, and Aerith, the three of them are still dealing with Sephiroth from another world with the help of the special forces commanded by Scarlet, while Sephiroth from this world is fighting Cloud one-on-one.
Cloud is very strong, but because the plot has changed, he has not grown up yet, so from the beginning, he has been suppressed by Sephiroth of this world. It can't be said that he was in danger, but he was also beaten back step by step.
It was similar on Shen Ye's side. Although they lacked the help of Sephiroth from this world, the cooperation between Shen Ye and his companions became more and more skillful, and the other Sephiroth began to be unable to withstand it.
A steady stream of magic power was input into Shen Ye's body from Aerith's magic circle, and instantly turned into internal strength. Shen Ye raised his sword again, and rushed forward at high speed. While repelling another Sephiroth, he jumped high again, turned into a giant sword in mid-air, and then smashed down heavily.
boom!
The other Sephiroth was blown away by the violent sword energy, but he immediately used his wings to stop himself and floated steadily on the edge of the roof.
At this moment, Cloud was also knocked to the edge of the rooftop by Sephiroth of this world. When he was about to stand up and fight again, he was held down on the shoulder by another Sephiroth.
"Cloud, wait a moment."
Cloud turned his head and looked at the other Sephiroth expressionlessly. His lifeless eyes revealed a hint of doubt. When he was about to ask, he saw a bright green light coming out of the vertical pupils of the other Sephiroth.
"Open your mind and let us become one." The other Sephiroth said slowly.
Then, after saying this, the hand he had placed on Cloud's shoulder disappeared.
No, it cannot be said to have disappeared, but rather it merged into Cloud's body.
As a spiritual being, he has no physical body, and Cloud also has Jenova's cells in his body. They are both Jenova's children.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ye and Sephiroth from this world waved their swords to stop them, but at this time, those Whispers gathered in front of Cloud and blocked them.
"Damn it, Fate, what on earth do you want to do?" Sephiroth of this world could no longer maintain his usual calmness.
Shen Ye and the others also looked at Cloud, who had merged with another Sephiroth, in amazement.
Finally, when Cloud opened his eyes again, his eyes had turned into vertical pupils like Sephiroth's.
But he did not move, but opened his arms. At this moment, all the Whispers who were blocking Sephiroth and Shen Ye in this world gathered in front of him and drilled into his body like crazy.
This is the last fight for the fate of this world. It will make Cloud the most powerful special forces soldier in the world in advance, let him eliminate all unstable factors, and then reshape the timeline.
boom!
When the last Whispers entered Cloud's body, a strange vortex appeared in the sky above the Shinra Building.
The vortex had a very strong suction force. Shen Ye, Aerith, Sephiroth and Cloud were all sucked in by the suction force, but the other people on the rooftop were not affected.
When Shen Ye and his companions regained their sight, they were surprised to find that they were in a strange space.
There is a huge platform in this space. There is no light, but one can see clearly all around. What surprises everyone even more is that pictures are constantly appearing all around, and those pictures are things they have experienced in the past.
"Where is this place?" Aerith looked around and swore that she had absolutely no memory of this place.
Then she looked at Shen Ye and found that he was also looking around in surprise.
"You... don't know either?" Aerith knew that Shen Ye knew a lot of things, but now it seems that there are things he doesn't know.
"Well, I've never seen this place." Shen Ye shook his head. There was no record of this place in the game.
"What about you, Sephiroth." Shen Ye turned his head and looked at Sephiroth of this world. Oh no, there is only one Sephiroth in this world now.
"This... should be a node in time." Sephiroth didn't know at first, but somehow, a piece of information appeared in his mind and he blurted out.
"A node in time?" Shen Ye seemed to be thinking about something. He vaguely guessed why they appeared here.
The destiny of this world is to destroy them here, and then go back in time to completely erase the traces they left in this world that are not part of the original plot.
At this moment, a sword energy falling from the sky interrupted their thoughts.
It was Cloud, who was floating above them, looking at them with vertical pupils like Sephiroth and an indifferent look.
However, at this moment he is no longer Cloud, he is now completely controlled by the fate of this world.
"It's already like this, let's just let it develop naturally." Shen Ye said, looking at Cloud in the sky.
But Cloud did not speak, because Fate could not speak, so he just responded with sword energy.
The huge Buster Sword slashed out a huge sword energy. He wanted to tell them that fate is absolutely irreversible.
"It seems that only by killing him can fate completely give up." Sephiroth swung his sword, then soared into the sky and fought with Cloud.
The two sides continued to collide violently in the air, and the clanging sound of swords clashing was endless.
Neither Shen Ye nor Aerith could fly, so they could only provide remote support on the platform. One of them slashed with sword energy from time to time, and the other used all the magic he knew.
At this time, Cloud was much stronger than Sephiroth. Even with the harassment from Shen Ye and Aerith, he still managed to knock Sephiroth down from mid-air after hundreds of collisions.
boom!
Sephiroth fell to the ground like an angel with broken wings.
Even though he was just a clone now, he still felt the pain, it was mental pain.
Seeing Cloud holding the giant sword and slashing at Sephiroth, a hot fireball hit Cloud, and then Shen Ye swung his sword to catch up, and then slapped Cloud in the chest.
Although Cloud is very strong at this time and his physical strength has improved qualitatively, all his improvements have a limit, because fate cannot allow him to exceed too much in the original plot.
So Shen Ye's palm directly hit Cloud's chest, causing it to dent.
"Wow!" Cloud spat out a mouthful of blood, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he turned around and slashed at Shen Ye with a sword.
At this time, Shen Ye had not yet retracted his hand. In a hurry, he could only hold the sword horizontally above his head with one hand.
Bang!
The huge force brought by the giant sword knocked Shen Ye away. In mid-air, Shen Ye spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".
"Shen." Aerith anxiously caught Shen Ye, but she was knocked down as well.
The two of them rolled on the ground like gourds for several times, and for a while, neither of them could get up.
Shen Ye felt that the hand holding the sword was about to break, but he still did not let go of his sword. He picked up Aerith who was pressing on him, and he stood up while enduring the pain, looking at Cloud not far away.
Cloud looked down at his sunken chest, but he just stroked his chest gently with his hand and it returned to normal. Then he slowly walked towards Shen Ye, dragging the giant sword in his hand across the ground, leaving sparks on the hard ground.
Aerith's eyes were somewhat sad. She felt that everything at the moment was caused by her own selfishness. If she hadn't insisted on changing her fate, perhaps nothing would have happened today. However... After painful thinking, she said to Shen Ye: "If you can't kill him with one blow, he will never die."
"Of course I know, but I can't use stronger moves." Shen Ye said bitterly. Previously, under the amplification of Aerith's magic circle, he could only use moves like Hui Tian Xuan Ming Sword.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and looked at Aerith, "Can you still communicate with the flow of life here?"
The flow of life is pure energy,
"It seems to be possible." Aerith closed her eyes and communicated for a while, then opened her eyes and said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to infuse all the life force you can mobilize into my body." Shen Ye pointed the sword at Cloud and said.
"But...but, the flow of life is extremely poisonous to humans, otherwise Shinra would not have produced only so few special forces until now." Aerith said.
"There is no other way now." Shen Ye said anxiously, "Hurry up, Aerith."
Looking at Cloud who was getting closer and closer to them, Aerith nodded slowly, then clasped her hands in front of her chest.
Suddenly, a pure energy enveloped Shen Ye and penetrated into his body through every pore.
At this moment, he had only one feeling.
That's pain.
The powerful energy filled his body almost instantly. A large amount of life force that had no time to be transformed into internal strength was running around in his body. Every cell in his body seemed to be wailing in pain.
However, he still raised his sword and pointed the tip at Cloud.
He is going to use the strongest move he can make now!
