Chapter 373.1. It’s The Real Final Battle

-Miu’s POV-
Yoroyoro, staggering, Kanna Tsuki takes a step back. Her expression tightens with fear as if her instincts have realized something. 
She must have noticed that she can’t inflict a single scratch on me in my perfect form. There’s an overwhelming difference in power.
“Wa-wait? Hey, I give up. Look, the war is over. From now on, I’ll behave. There’s no way I can oppose your power.”
Kanna Tsuki flips her attitude, trying to charm me. I’m amazed at her appearance, but it’s not a problem.
“Just buying time until you grasp the power of the world? But, Kanna Tsukir-chan, you can’t control the golden threads.”
Kanna Tsuki shivers at my words, realizing her time-wasting tactic is exposed. She can’t escape from Mii-chan’s Eye. 
I see her desperately trying to manipulate the principles of this world through the flying golden tree. My eyes don’t miss anything.
I can clearly see that her thoughts have been bouncing off the golden tree since earlier.
“Ugh, why… why is this ridiculous! Just a little more, just a little more, why! Why does a snake have such power! Why does the golden tree deflect my thoughts?”
Indeed, why is it deflecting her? I’m curious about that too. I thought she could control it naturally.
Frustrated, Kanna Tsuki gathers magical power in her palms. Realizing that she can’t control the golden tree, she must have chosen to fight me again.
“Take this, runt!”
[Hellfire]
Kanna Tsuki creates a ball of ominous miasma that seems to corrupt all life around her. 
It’s the magic of Kanna Tsuki, who has regained her original divine power. If you’re not a god, your body might have melted in an instant.
The miasma ball flies, corroding the air and melting the deck. In the past, I would have suffered significant damage if I didn’t dodge it. But I’m not the previous Mii-chan anymore.
Without moving a millimeter, I catch the miasma ball. It’s exactly the same as before. Not only does it not corrupt my body, but it can’t even shake me.
Standing calmly, I see Kanna Tsuki staring at me with wide eyes and trembling lips in disbelief.
“D-damn it! Why can’t I control the golden threads? Why can’t I use the power of this world? I’ve been making the golden tree for thousands of years!”
With tearful eyes and frustration, Kanna Tsuki flips her body, probably trying to escape. She kicks the floor, jumps into the air, and moves away with all her might.
“I won’t let you escape.”
By pointing my tiny index finger at the airborne Godslayer, I use my power.
[Lost]
An invisible wave propagates through space, capturing the fast-flying Kanna Tsuki.
“N-noooo!”
From the touched spot, Kanna Tsuki disappears smoothly, as if she never existed, and vanishes from this world.
“Sorry, Kanna Tsuki. So, why were you alive? I thought I had destroyed Helheim. But it feels too unsatisfying…”
“The lack of satisfaction is because I received the power that supported her as a god.”
“Huh? Ouch!”
A male voice is heard from behind as I get hit with a strong impact. I try to stop, but the force is so powerful that I can’t, and I pass through the dimensional door, flying back to the world where ashes fall.
“Mmm, I’ve been expelled!”
In the sky of the world where ashes fall, I finally stop and look down at Mii-chan’s world. The dimensional door is still open, so it seems okay.
“I want to go back before it closes… Is it impossible?”
“Oh, that would be quite inconvenient. After all, you’ll plunder, won’t you?”
Chasing after me, the golden sphere passes through the dimensional door.
“…I see. I wonder who supported the destroyed Helheim. So, it was you.”
I narrow my eyes and ask the pursuing golden sphere. The golden sphere deforms its body like slime and transforms into a humanoid shape.
Limbs sprouted, a head formed, and gradually, the features transformed into a familiar face.
Because of its unremarkable and ordinary appearance, one might describe it as handsome. The face, while gentle, exuded an alertness that demanded caution.
Of medium build, the body was well-toned and covered in armor formed by thin layers of gold, emitting a powerful force akin to a mass of magical energy.
In his hand, he held a sword with a blade as thin. Though the blade seemed fragile, the ash that blew like a blizzard upon touching its leaking aura vanished.
It was a weapon that erased existence. Despite its appearance of fragility, the sharpness of the blade seemed capable of destroying the principles of the world. It was a sword containing a power far surpassing even Sacred Artifacts.
The man enveloped in the golden principles was recognizable.
“Shin-kun, hello. I thought you got sacrificed?”
With a polite smile, I greeted him. I’m a good and straightforward girl, so I never forget to greet people.
“Hello, Miss Outsider. Is Takano Miu still okay?”
“Of course! Mii-chan will always be Mii-chan forever!”
To show a smile that gives a good impression to people.
It was Shin. Kanna Shin. The protagonist of the original work, I presumed to have been sacrificed and disappeared.
That man was standing in front of me. It’s questionable why he’s alive. Even in my observations, I confirmed that he was sacrificed. Why is he alive?
Amidst the blizzard of ash blowing violently, Shin begins to speak with an unwavering smile.
“Hehehe, the same as you. Well, a bit different, maybe. But we’re fundamentally the same. Takano Miu, nothing more than a doll. Despite that, our ego is as unyielding as a human’s, and it has gained a power so firm that it cannot be absorbed, right?”
…I see. I get it now; that’s what it was.
“Hellheim and Kanna Yamato created Kanna Shin. They created the personality. That personality gained consciousness as a doll, right?”
A mere vessel. An empty doll created to act according to the role of the protagonist.
Detective Mii-chan quickly uncovers the truth!
However, while smiling, Shin shrugs his shoulders.
“Half right, half wrong, maybe. I want you to remember the fundamental part. You’ve seen everything, right? You should understand.”
“Don’t say it like I’m some peeping tom… But there wasn’t anything strange, though?”
Tilting my head, I recall. I had seen the situation when he was created, of course, but there was nothing odd.
Facing me, unable to answer, Shin chuckles.
“Come on, what material do you think I used? Don’t say I used human bodies or souls. Something more fundamental.”
Fundamental… I see, got it. That’s what you mean!
