*******************
The scars running from his shoulders down to his waist were the least of Mang Jian’s worries as he stumbled back to his feet.
Blood—possessing the sa color as the blade he wielded in his left hand—ca pouring out of his mouth, making him snap his head up toward Red, his blind eyes holding indignation.
"Curse... Corruption... and Poison?" he asked, his voice carrying not only a sense of betrayal, but also disappointnt.
CRACK!
Kai’s foot landed on Mang Jian’s face, thick yellow bolts of lightning thundering around him.
A dozen-ter-wide crater appeared under them, cracks running in all directions.
Wherever the Conqueror’s Haki slithered, Boggarts died, thousands of wooden drawers exploding under its might.
A BOOM resounded as the Blind Executioner was sent flying like a missile, once again failing to see any Intent.
Mang Jian spun around and landed on his feet once again, black and red blood staining his pristine white clothes.
However, before he could even raise his guard, shadows howled next to him.
Cersei Lannister, the Shadow Queen, blinked near Mang Jian and fired her Mana-Engineered Pulsars, two blobs of blue light leaving the guns with loud bangs.
The Ps were two extrely potent pistols, shaped like Desert Eagles, and carried ten rounds. They were synthesized by Okabe, Mayuri, and Orochimaru, using Kaiju Blue as the basis, under Kai’s orders, before he had gone to the Fate tiline.
These bullets not only damaged MP, but they also directly attacked one’s Spirituality.
Kai had been refraining from summoning the Book’s Characters because it would have been pointless, what with Mang Jian reading their Intents. If even Ad Infinitum and Lucky Intuition failed to outsmart Sento, then less needed to be said about the Summons themselves.
However, Eon Soul Dew changed everything, turning the tables instantly.
Uxie was a Psychic-type Legendary Pokemon, whose soul Kai had consud with Eon Soul Dew (Corrupt) on Island X during the third stage of the Tournant of Worth.
It held nearly no great, flashy offensive power.
However, Uxie shone the brightest in the field of minds.
After realizing that Mang Jian was still accessing the Intents generated by Ad Infinitum and Lucky Intuition, which he had hidden behind Calm, Kai had begun thinking of the reason at the root.
Mang Jian’s Shikai was simple to describe, even if impossible to comprehend.
Every thought, no matter how hidden it was, generated an Intent, and from every Intent resulted multiple Paths. As long as these Paths existed, Sento could sever them, making Mang Jian’s Shikai impossible to defend against.
Calm hid the Intents, but, as the Blind Executioner had said, they were still there.
So, Kai had instead decided to attack the root, killing the thoughts themselves.
It was an extrely paradoxical decision, though, as without thinking, Kai could neither attack nor defend.
However, it was only a matter of how fast he could regain his ability to think after it ceased to exist.
That’s where Uxie, the Being of Knowledge, ca into the picture.
Amnesia was neither hiding Intents nor hiding thoughts.
It was outright annihilating them!
In Kai’s terms, it was like the mont Ad Infinitum generated a thought that could result in an Intent and Paths, Amnesia did a force-shutdown, forcing it to reboot.
This would have made Kai fall into a repeated cycle of utter stillness.
Two things worked in his favor to prevent that, though.
First, Ad Infinitum’s reboot process was much faster than Amnesia’s forced shutdown.
Second, Uxie’s Move covered the entire Cursed Vault of Fear. So, what was happening to Kai was also happening to Mang Jian.
And, unlike him, the Blind Executioner didn’t have an AI.
Two yellow crystals danced in Cersei’s eyes as Ad Infinitum’s Echoes controlled her body.
The Kaiju Blue bullets, despite being fired at Mang Jian, should never have landed because of his speed. However, a temporary dissonance occurred in his mind as Amnesia scrambled his thoughts, making him fail to react.
With a squelch, they entered Mang Jian’s chest and bood out from the other side.
This was only the beginning of the Blind Executioner’s suffering, the cursed, corrupted poison, jointly concocted by Kai, Orochimaru, and Mayuri, corroding him from inside.
Black and Yellow-colored bolts of lightning sundered the entire Vault as the Emperor and the Queen resonated their Haki, taking turns attacking Mang Jian.
The Blind Executioner clenched his teeth as the heavy swords ripped open his back, wings of shadow slicing through his knees.
A rumbling kick landed on his chin, and another round of bullets almost punctured his skull.
Path of the Ascending Flas —
Suddenly, yellow stars began shining on Mang Jian’s body, forming a constellation, the tenth star pulsating hideously on his forehead.
Kai lifted Supre Kanshou and Limitless Bakuya Overedge and struck.
Two swirling pillars of black-white flas slithered out of the swords and reached Mang Jian, tracing the Sealing Tree of Death on his body.
— Qlipoth Genesis!
Ayin’s Shikai worked the best on storyline Characters as it could seal their existence in a particular tiline.
However, it didn’t an that it had no use against Contestants.
Just as the black-white flas reached the tenth star on Mang Jian, all his senses, from tangible to ethereal, were sealed, making him feel absolutely nothing.
In the very next mont, Kai and Cersei flashed next to the sealed Contestant, Uxie’s figure already blurring overhead as thirty seconds ca to a close.
With a bloody squelch, Kai thrust the entire length of his blades into Mang Jian’s body, black blood splattering on Cersei’s face, who put the Ps against the back of his head and...
Before she could press the trigger, Mang Jian’s lips moved, becoming a smile.
This was not sothing that could have affected Kai or the Echoes that were letting Cersei fight alongside him.
But the words that ca out of Mang Jian’s mouth could.
And the mont those words entered Kai’s ears, he finally experienced what it felt like to have one’s existence sealed.
Those words were —
"Bankai—," the Blind Executioner said, letting Sento go. "—Thousand Paths, Realm Without Eyes..."
