Chapter 282 - Chapter 275: Loop (3)

[Damn it!]

Quickly checking his Diary, Undécimo once again found Yuno's location, this time carefully reading each entry. He didn't want her preparing a 'surprise' that could jeopardize his life.

[April 10, 7:30 PM]

[I'm cornered... Eleventh discovered my hideout, wants to kill me.]

[I've dodged bullets, don't know how long I can keep this up. Yuki, please save me.]

[I'm scared, fell into a hole, it's dark... I hope Eleventh doesn't find me here. Yuki, I beg you, come quickly.]

"Well... The girl is scared."

Confirming this with his own eyes, Undécimo cruelly smiled as he grabbed his rifle and flew straight towards the hole...

And just as the diary said... This hole was dark, but it wasn't an obstacle for Undécimo, who quickly located a frightened Yuno using his Diary. When she saw him, her eyes widened in shock and fear.

"This is the end... Second..."

"Hick?!"

Screaming in fear and with Undécimo smiling, he pulled the trigger, firing without mercy...

*Clink...

(Huh?)

But again, something surprising happened...

The rifle ran out of bullets...

*Click... Click...

Unable to believe it, Undécimo pressed the trigger several more times, but nothing came out.

(Arghhh!!)

Furious about this, Undécimo discarded his rifle to wield a knife. However, before he could use it to kill Yuno, a sword pierced through his body...

Causing his eyes to darken...

---

(Huh? What happened?)

On top of a building, Undécimo stood with his Anti-material rifle, watching Yuno nervously checking her phone...

(Huh? This is familiar.)

Shaking his head, Undécimo blinked several times, but couldn't find the anomaly.

(Doesn't matter... I have to kill her.)

"I'm sorry, Second... But this is war."

Shaking his head, Undécimo blinked several times, still unable to find the anomaly.

Squeezing the trigger, Undécimo shot without hesitation. However, before the bullet could pierce a defenseless Yuno, she moved irregularly, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground...

(Huh?)

Unable to believe what just happened, Undécimo followed Yuno with the rifle's scope, feeling this scene terribly familiar. Undécimo fired again.

*Bang...

Failed again; this time Yuno slipped on the wet floor...

*Bang...

Failed again, this time because of a banana peel...

*Bang...

Failed again, this time someone accidentally pushed her...

*Bang, Bang,

And before he could react, Yuno had fallen into a hole, avoiding his consecutive shots again...

Unable to believe what was happening, Undécimo checked his Diary...

[April 10, 7:30 PM]

[I'm cornered... Eleventh discovered my hideout, wants to kill me.]

[I've dodged bullets, don't know how long I can keep this up. Yuki, please save me.]

[I'm scared, fell into a hole, it's dark... I hope Eleventh doesn't find me here. Yuki, I beg you, come quickly.]

"This can't be happening..."

Swallowing hard, cold sweat ran down his cheek as he took up his rifle again and flew towards the hole where Yuno fell. He needed to verify what happened and if all of this was a dream...

*Clink...

*Clink, clink

And again, just as he was about to kill Yuno, his rifle had run out of bullets.

With trembling lips, Undécimo quickly lowered his head and moved his body trying to dodge something.

(Agrhhh?!)

But it was too late, a sword had pierced through his body. However, this time, he saw the face of his killer, who smiled coldly while stabbing him...

(Second?!)

With disbelief on his face, his eyes darkened...

(Huh? What happened?)

On top of a building, Undécimo stood with his Anti-material rifle, watching Yuno nervously checking her phone...

(Huh? This is familiar.)

Shaking his head, Undécimo blinked several times, but couldn't find the anomaly.

(Doesn't matter... I have to kill her.)

"I'm sorry, Second... But this is war."

"It's over..."

Looking at Undécimo motionless, with a lost gaze, while visibly rejuvenating, Yuki ended his life by piercing his heart with a sword.

This sword is the one that pierced him in the end, creating a new twist in the loop, much like the illusion Yuno used when she killed him.

"What a troublesome opponent, I even had to use that Dojutsu."

Those who have the power to manipulate time are harder to kill than a cockroach.

So, Yuki spared no effort to kill every part of his enemy. He was the same; in the Shinobi world, he was recognized as a cockroach, having been pierced, decapitated, poisoned, and incinerated, yet here he is, alive and kicking.

His power allowed him to deceive death itself. This included Undécimo, who pleasantly surprised Yuki by creating that loop, or rather, a time prison.

With that ability, Yuki had no doubt that Undécimo could face any opponent, and even if he didn't win, he wouldn't lose either.

His ability was so broken that it continuously took energy from the past and trapped his enemy in a time prison.

His weakness was not easy to find either, as to escape, the victim would have to kill his enemy more than a million times, which was impossible. Since the jailer also evolved as their lives dwindled, and since the victim only had one life, their death was a matter of time.

However, though his ability was strong, it wasn't invincible. When he detected the anomaly, Yuki didn't hesitate to sacrifice his only Sharingan to escape that loop.

Creating a loop over another, or rather, an illusion of a loop.

Maybe if he devoured 'Time,' escaping was possible, but the amount of 'Time' required was too much. With the pressure from the Demon King, Yuki couldn't afford to do so.

Zafkiel didn't offer a quick solution, so Yuki had no choice but to sacrifice his Sharingan.

So, when Undécimo looked him in the eyes for the first time, he had fallen into the trap, sending Yuno in that particular direction to deceive his Diary. Undécimo didn't suspect anything.

Izanami...

Using this forbidden Uchiha technique, Yuki broke the loop with his own, sending Undécimo into a double loop where his illusion faced Undécimo in a battle to the death.

Also creating a false loop where the real Undécimo was trapped in an attempt to murder Yuno.

It was all an illusion, but at the same time, real, as Undécimo continued to rejuvenate, a victim of his own ability...

Undécimo fell victim to his own loop and Yuki's loop...

Sealing his fate...

""Novice... Never trust the future. No one can predict the future because, in the end, the future is an illusion."

Looking with disdain, Yuki shook his head at this old man.

If Kurumi were in this world, she would also look at Undécimo with disdain and pity. She learned the hard way not to trust the future. The future is ever-changing and variable, like a giant tree with hundreds and thousands of branches. You never know on which branch it will end up.

Trying to predict it is foolish...

No, perhaps Undécimo's mistake was trusting too much in his Diary's predictions. A single illusion was enough for him to blindly believe in it. Just as he predicted that he would kill Yuno, seizing the Key.

"Dalet..."

*Tick tock.

*Bang

Shooting himself in the head, Yuki reversed his 'Time,' restoring the sight of his eye that he had lost due to Izanami...

Fortunately for Yuki, Zafkiel could restore his vision by reversing time; otherwise, he would be left with no choice but to cry.

"See you... Undécimo."

With his sight restored, Yuki turned around. He still had to help Yuno with the other target. Without looking back, Yuki disappeared into the shadows.

Undécimo, on the other hand, was bleeding, and his wound was healing at a visible speed. Inverted time made it impossible for him to die with the sword stabbing his heart.

The years passed in the blink of an eye, transforming him from a 60-year-old man to one of 30, then 20, followed by a teenager, and eventually a one-year-old baby. He ended up as a fetus, and an anomaly began to form around him—a black hole in the shape of a spiral, where what remained of his body was swallowed into the void.

[DEAD END]

Only his Diary remained, carrying the message of death.

The first nuclear bomb had met its end...
