Staring deeply into each other's eyes, the atmosphere shifted between them. Many soldiers who ran felt this change; they didn't know its cause, but the inevitable hostility among them was palpable.
"Am I still Adam?"
"Hm, as long as you bear the king's mark, you'll remain Adam."
With these words, silence enveloped them once again. Yuki narrowed his eyes, recalling the existence of three Void Genomes and a total of three kings. So why not seek another Adam? Or more precisely, why isn't he the chosen Adam? After all, he possesses one of the three Void Genomes.
The answer was simple; Eva didn't want another king besides her beloved brother.
"I see... So, you didn't come here just to greet me, did you?"
"Join Eva. With your potential and power, you're the Adam I've been searching for."
Looking at him with a warm smile, Yuu raised his hand, expressing a desire to avoid a fight. Yuki, being the best of the best in humanity, would be a waste if he died. Yuu even thought that Yuki was born in this era, especially for Eva, and that his destiny was to guide the new humanity toward the future.
But unfortunately, Yuki had other plans.
"No... I already have my 'Eva'; I don't need another."
Regardless of what happens, Yuki wouldn't forsake Inori. She was the reason he came to this world, and he would use all his power to help her. With a smile, Yuki didn't hesitate to reject Yuu.
"You won't change your mind? ... What a disappointment."
Sighing in disappointment, Yuu shook his head; he had been rejected twice.
"If you refuse to join... Then you must die!"
With a dangerous glint in his eyes, Yuu's hands transformed, instantly materializing several swords. At the same time, several soldiers on the scene fell to the ground as their Void was extracted.
No matter how powerful Yuki was, if he refused to join Eva, he wouldn't be of help. He had to die because, of the three Void Genomes, only he could be called the King.
Only he had the power to bring apocalypse to humanity and unite with Eva.
That's why Yuki had to die.
"Hmp! Give it a try if you can!"
Unlike the first time they met, Yuki didn't refuse the battle. He was almost at the peak of his power this time, making Yuu not much of a threat. However, Yuki didn't underestimate him; he knew the danger of Voids. Yuu's ability to materialize multiple Voids instantly demonstrated greater control than Yuki's.
The fact that Yuu could extract Voids from people without touching them and shape-shift their Voids was something Yuki didn't know.
Voids were dangerous, let alone fusing them. Therefore, Yuki decided not to hold back; Yuu was dangerous.

However, as Yuki assumed a hand position, a strange song began to play. Yuki didn't like it; his expression sank as various changes occurred. Simultaneously, his body began to crystallize.
"Just in time... I told you, didn't I? You'll regret it."
Although Yuki frowned, the same couldn't be said for Yuu, who now looked at Yuki with a triumphant smile.
"Now die, please."
Waving his hand, the swords started to float, launching at high speed toward Yuki, whose Sharingan began to spin in response.

"Is he okay? Isn't it too dangerous to fall into that trap?"
With sweaty hands due to nervousness, Ayase asked.
"Yes, Yuki will be fine; he's very strong."
Answering her question was Tsugumi, who danced among her holographic screens, guiding Gai and the group.
[The plane is in motion; you must hurry.]
[Understood.]
Sending a message to Gai, Tsugumi was tired of all this. She didn't know why Yuki wanted to fall into this trap, but he said it, so she followed his orders.
"Yuki..."
Inori also furrowed her brow; she didn't like where this was going. There were other ways to end all this, but Yuki chose this path. She was very worried, but there was nothing she could do except follow Yuki's orders and pray that her bad feeling wouldn't come true.
*Todoro, Todoro
But things don't always go as people want. While they were talking, a song began to play.
"No... No..."
Listening to this song, Inori grabbed her head with both hands, her eyes trembling with fear.
"This isn't the song... She's going to awaken."
Muttering with fear, her body began to shake. She recognized this song very well; something inside her was awakening, and she didn't like it. At the same time, her shadow began to tremble too.
"It's okay, Inori... Everything will end soon."
Feeling a hand on her shoulder, Inori opened her eyes wide; she recognized the voice.
"Yuki? ..."
Yes, the person with the hand on her shoulder was Yuki.
"Yukin?! What?! How?!"
"Y-Yuki... You..."
Not only was Inori surprised, but Ayase and Tsugumi were also. After all, Yuki should be causing chaos in the GHQ and OAU armies right now. But here, Yuki was in front of them, appearing out of nowhere from Inori's shadow.
"No... You're not Yuki."
However, Inori furrowed her brow; she could see through the person in front of her.
She felt it; the person in front of her was Yuki, but at the same time, he wasn't. It was very confusing, but Inori felt it, so she stepped back, staring intently at the person in front of her and at the same time preparing her gun.
"You're right... I'm not Yuki. I'm his clone, as well as his past."
