In that「World」, there are many regions scattered all over the land that interconnect many different realms with each other.
For example, the Shroom region that he crossed in order to set his foot into the Mythic realm, where many fairy and magical-like being roams around freely, and where he monitored the priestess of that realm which he called as Ina.
Even though he didn't explain it in more detail, Zeimachi had visited many regions and met many people from that「World」. One of which was Uruha Rushia who came from the Magical Forest, a region deep in the Mythical realm.
Apart from that, he has also visited the Youkai realm, a realm where many creatures are often referred to as Youkai. There in that realm, he also met the person he always called as the Oni Princess Nakiri and also several other people such as the one he called as Shirakami and Mio.
In the two years that have passed, Zeimachi has traveled through many realms, jumped over many regions and met many people who have their own stories, which of course are all based on VTuber characters, and some other reference that「the fool」once saw and adored.
In those two years.
It's not a short time, but it's not exactly a long time for a human's life.
Even so, with every trip there will be new encounters, and from each encounter, new memories will be created and make the time that has been passed to be precious.
Those precious memories were stored in his mind, and later he would use them as a power to protect many useless things. To be burned out until there's no ashes left in order for his mission to be accomplished.
The same as now.
-----------
Karma for the naive blonde young man who only knows heroes exist to exterminate demons, and Zeimachi's hatred that resurfaces after he sees the death of someone he just met.
Both of those convictions had been carried out at the cost of the naïve young man's life, Zeimachi's sanity that was becoming increasingly hazy, and「The fool's」thought that's slowly beginning to change.
Blood was pouring from the green-eyed youth's head that was still attached to his spine, while his trash-like body was now at the end of the road, drenched in rain while creating thick pools of blood.
That horrific sight would certainly make someone who saw it very frightened, that's why he thought of removing the body and also the head that was in his hands by hiding it in a dimensional gap that was not bound by the concept of space and time.
"...GRRRAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
"...Kh!"
But apparently, he didn't have time to think about that.
The head that Zeimachi thought could no longer move, suddenly let out a very loud groan. At the same time, white smoke that had a very hot temperature came out from inside the young man's head and enveloped him along with the surrounding area in a small range.
"Colossal Titan... Huh..."
As his vision was obscured by the white hot smoke, Zeimachi tried to read the thoughts of the head he was holding. The information he got, according to him wasn't very useful. But it doesn't hid the fact that it's very important to know an enemy's strength that's still not completely known.
"GRUOOOOOOHHHH!!!"
The groans from the heads grew louder which made Zeimachi had enough of the incoherent screams. Zeimachi threw the head he was holding towards the now standing-headless-body of the youth and dashed towards him.
Just before the youth completed his Titan transformation, Zeimachi kicked the youth's body and head simultaneously towards the already dark sky filled with thunderclouds.
And after the two objects shot high enough into the sky, lightning struck the young man which unfortunately wasn't meant to scorch him but to indicate that the transformation had begun.
"Failed... Moving to the other countermeasures..."
Zeimachi's thought pattern and way of speaking without him realizing it slowly began to change like a robot. His eyes that were still filled with the glow of life, began to change into the gaze of someone who doesn't care about anyone or anything beside his mission.
Hastily he moved his feet to prevent the Titan from destroying the city, instantly all the memories he had became insignificant, then finally, those precious moment melted into the source of his strength to block a giant leg that fell from above, headed straight for his face.
"... The bane of creation, is not limited by any form..."
"GGRRROOOAAAAHHHH!!!!"
The humanoid creature usually called as Titan (Kyojin) shot down like a huge sized meteor about to hit the earth, but no matter how fast and strong the momentum created by the Titan's attack, a small shining「Feather 」made all the attacks seem meaningless.
The「Feather 」creates a veil that has a shape like an octagonal trigram with a yin-yang symbol in the middle (Bagua), which easily counters the physical attacks launched by the Titan.
But it didn't stop there, after the「Feather」quickly blocked the attack, and pushed the assailant, the tool transformed into an etherial sword that penetrated the hundred meter tall Titan's body.
The etherial blade shot swiftly and penetrated the Titan's entire body no matter if it was the nape or the toes. Not a single part was left unpierced and every last part of that colossal Titan's body was being torn apart.
"First target, obliteration confirmed. Cleaning the evidence..."
Zeimachi's tone began to change completely, while the blonde haired youth who turned himself into a giant Titan was completely dead after being penetrated by the effect of the Key of Consciousness.
After that, Zeimachi stretched one of his hand up towards the Colossal Titan's body that was about to crash onto the city. His hand seemed to reach for something in the air, toward something that has answered his call's.
"Mikage."
The voices throughout the「World」died down in an instant as the weapon revealed its form before finally returning to how it was before, and in an instant the Colossal Titan's gigantic body turned into ashes that flew in all directions.
Leaving a white-sheathed Noodachi that seemed to grow from within the ash cloud.
"... Spread."
Noodachi "Mikage" who looked like a toothpick when compared to the gigantic creature, then absorbed all of the [Ash of the Living] left by the youth into its scabbard, before it landed perfectly on Zeimachi's grasp.
"Hm."
The large sheathed blade landed but also sent his hand jerking back just for the sake of catching Noodachi from stabbing into the ground.
The man who had grasped the hilt of Noodachi then drew the sword, and swung it towards the sky which split the black clouds that had made him drenched from the rain.
"..."
The black clouds finally parted, and returned the orange sky to the nameless city.
Many people who saw the orange light coming into their windows with a slight of curiosity peeked out from their window, and saw the sky of their city that seemed to be splitted in half.
-------------
Back to the Guild again.
*Crash*
"Just why!?"
*Crash*
"Are you?!"
*Crash*
"Bothering me?!!!!"
*Crash*
In the battlefield between Uruha Rushia and one of the youth triad members, a「Feather」was seen floating on the shoulders of a young man(?). He had long pink hair with ribbon on top of it, white skin, light purple eyes, and wearing a quite feminine attire.
The young man(?) stood like an alpha who didn't feel afraid even after he just saw the swordsmanship of the black haired youth, while keep sending him back into the wall with a small round object that spun rapidly.
"Ya Kaoru sir, can't you pull a secret technique with your Beyblade again? I really wanna see it."
"You want to? But I can't pull that out more than once a day so..."
"Ahhh! You're a one-shooter type aren't 'cha?"
"... We're talking about what?"
The young man(?) looked as if he was talking to「Feather」on his shoulder while holding a Beyblade launcher that he kept in the handbag he's using.
In that world he's called as Tsukishita Kaoru, a top-level adventurer who has a hobby as a make-up artist that's also being hired directly by the Guild especially whenever there's a big event involving make-up or dressing.
Together with his other colleagues, Tsukishita Kaoru forms a Party that is at the top of the Guild and is quite well known by many people.
That day he's having business to exchange the monster materials he once got to start a new cosmetic, but after a「Feather」came and told him to go to the receptionist immediately, he faced the black haired youth that was jumping to Uruha Rushia with his katana.
And just like a cowboy, Tsukishita Kaoru pulled out his gear and launched the Beyblade toward {Murasame} and continue to pressure the black haired youth from making another dangerous move.
"Uhmm... Thank you."
Not far behind Tsukishita Kaoru who was loading his Beyblade into the launcher, was the loli necromancer who was feeling very grateful to her savior. Her body was indeed full of scratches, but she didn't get all of that from {Murasame}'s scratches, so Uruha Rushia was still able to walk even though she's a little limped.
She actually felt guilty for the victims who fell and tried to protect her from that black haired youth, but no matter how much she repent it couldn't be helped, Uruha Rushia could only use her trait's ability before finally the pink-haired young man(?) came to help her.
"No no, you've been doing well. Are you a new kid? It's my first time to look at your face. I'm Kaoru by the way."
"Yes... Uruha Rushia, I came to search for someone while becoming adventurer. Once again thank you very much."
The two of them slightly greeted each other, and ignored the「Feather」that was on the young man's(?) shoulder. Then, with one Necromancer joining the fray, the two of them continued to face their opponent with a little help from the「Feather」.
And they finally won, leaving the black-haired youth's body which was then decided to be destroyed because of the many poisons that spread from within the body that could kill many without any poison resistance.
With some little aid of a dragon woman.
--------------
"Khhckk... Guaahggg! W-How... How can my genjutsu doesn't affect you at all!? A mangekyou as it be, my doujutsu should've trapped you into illusion! Goohggk..."
On the roof of the tallest building in the unnamed city, lies the final result of the so-called "Avenger's revenge" who has failed to avenge his enmity and is now kneeling on a pool of his own blood.
The battle he should've won, and the woman he should've defeated, none of that happened and all left is Kiryu Coco who was gasping for an air and in the middle of undoing her dragon transformation.
"He... He's dead right?"
"Pretty sure he is, how is your condition?"
"Fhewww... I'm aching all over. That's hella scared me with those spooky skeleton armor you called as... Sushino?"
"Susanoo."
"Yeah that one. Crap my claw couldn't even put a dent on those! Thankfully you're here neighbor. But... Aren't you kinda uhh glowing?"
The result was just like what the dragon woman had said. The handsome white haired young man had to lose his life after he was defeated by the teamwork of Kiryu Coco and one of the「Feather」being left inside her by him.
And even though there're a few difficulties from the dragon woman who was always being protected by a「Feather」from Susanoo's attack and the influence of the Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu, they both managed to defeat the young man and take him down.
"Hmm? Ah... I took a wrong pill, the one I should take is the "Glowing skin and pearl" but I mistake it and gulp the "Glowing in the dark" instead. If you could move your body then you should get to the receptionist Kiryu-san, that loli necromancer could get some hug right now."
"Down floor? Is there someone like "him" too in there?"
"Yes there is, but please be at ease. There's Tsukishita-san who aided that floor with his Magical Beyblade. Luckily he's there to deliver another pill for the Guild, so I could ask for his help."
"Then why didn't you help her? Don't tell me you abandoned Rushia for helping me."
"Tsukishita-san also received "my" help, the same as you."
While explaining a bit about the events surrounding Uruha Rushia which was at the Guild at that time, Zeimachi(?) stepped over to the young man's corpse and glanced at the sword that couldn't had its time to cast its Noble Phantasm.
"... Please take this Kiryu-san. That is the demonic sword "Balmung", the one wielded by the Hero who've slain the evil dragon Fafnir. Who know when it'll come in handy."
Zeimachi(?) who didn't really care about the dragon slayer sword then told Kiryuu Coco to picked the Balmung, and the dragon woman complied with a grunt as if she's doing another heavy chore.
She looked a little frightened when she had to grip the sword who've killed the same race as her, but Zeimachi(?) told her it's going to be fine as long she didn't stab that steel into her with a perverted smile.
"Frick you and your glowing face. But thanks for before, just come to my HQ and I'll give you a cup with my family member."
"Well... I'll try to remember it."
"You punk."
Kiryuu Coco who was fed up with the man then walked away to help her friend while carrying Balmung in her hand and seemed to be very wary of the sword as she jumped down to the lowest floor.
Which then brought the same result that has been described.
"Kuku... Hopefully, you wouldn't chose that path again brother."
Alone and looking at the clouds that had parted with a slash, Zeimachi(?) muttered the only thing he could know for real. His translucent face was also full of hope that was hard to understand and full of animosity toward the old past.
Seeing the bloodied corpse of the young man at his feet, Zeimachi(?) seemed to be trying to laugh at the misfortune that had befallen the corpse. However it seems, there's still a feeling inside him that is holding back that sadistic laugh.
"My dear... Could you please dispose this garbage? Please."
As he walked away while turning his body into「Feather」again, Zeimachi(?) summoned a「Rope」that appeared from the dimensional rift which dragged the young man's corpse into, leaving a puddle of blood on the top floor of Guild Headquarter.
That「Feather」then burned out as if it was being engulfed by flames, leaving nothing of its remains.
And finally night came.
-----------
Many lives were lost in the「world」that Zeimachi thought was abandoned. Not because of natural factors such as age, natural disasters or anything else. Rather it was because of people who weren't from that「world」 who came only to complete their unfulfilled desires.
"... Purge for those who are faithful ♪ Greed born as those with wicked ♪... Gods will chase your sin ♪."
But even so, Zeimachi wouldn't remember any of those things.
Singing alone with blank eyes in a forest that leads to the Mythical Realm, Zeimachi who had forgotten his two years of happy moments, two years worth of memories, and two years of encounter from that「world」dragged Mikage without knowing which direction he was going.

>>>Epilog<<<
「Youkai Realm, the castle of purgatory」
"Gnuuu... Why did he reject our offer? Me really can't understand why he doesn't want to live as mine minister!"
"Well~ well~ Calm down Ayame-dono. Machi-san has his own reason after all."
That place was the palace of the lord of Youkai realm.
In a magnificent room filled with lanterns, there's an Oni princess sitting on her throne while being served with drinks by the little Oni who had previously met Zeimachi.
"Ah thank you Yukio! Now that I think about it, Mama Mio... Where's Fubuki?"
"If we're talking about Shirakami, then she's out with Kurokami to ascertain something. She'll be back soon so should I tell you some stories as we wait? Yukio could hear it as well~"
"*Nod* Yes."
"Yeayyy~ Come here Yukio~ Seat on mine lap, hurry~ hurry~"
...
....
.....
「Mythic Realm, Graveyard of the fallen」
Somewhere in the Mythical realm, there's a region filled with tombstones scattered all over the land.
"Waah... Did you miss me?"
On each of those tombstones, there's date and place of someone who had died somewhere in that「world」 , but sadly there's no name on it which made it hard to know whose tombstone that is.
"You're Takodachi number one, and for you Takodachi number two... Takodachi number twelve..."
However that didn't stop her from touching every tombstone.
"Great... There's no one new."
Apparently, the girl could tell and was familiar with some of the tombstones that had a small picture of baby octopus on it. The girl who breathed a sigh of relief, then sat while leaned her smooth back against one of the tombstones and hummed pleasantly.
"Oh I remember this one, let me tell you guys so you can hear it!"
Leaning with her back against one of the tombstones, and combing her hair so she wouldn't accidentally sit on it, the girl then remembered something that made her ears squeak slightly.
"Humu... What did the sushi say to a bee?"
As if waiting for her words to sink into the listeners, the girl let several seconds pass before she continued. Even though no one could hear her in that place, the girl seemed pretty very amused to finish that sentence.
"Wasabi."
