Not only that, but other content was also swallowed up.
[It's so painful, why can't I do anything?]
I want to play football, but my fractured right foot is already...
[I've worked so hard, and I got absolutely nothing in return! Go to hell! Go to hell!]
Is life over? No, there's still a chance! As long as we can win the game!
The girl I like has become someone else's girlfriend. Destroy this world! Damn it!
Memories are constantly changing, and almost all of them are negative.
This is precisely why the fog of memory made the scene extremely oppressive.
As Yukino Yukinoshita watched the content keep appearing, her breathing became increasingly difficult, as if something was pressing on her chest.
"That cat... what exactly is it... Baili-kun..."
Because of her difficulty breathing, Yukino's speech was intermittent.
"There are many kinds of demons and evil spirits in this world. This cat... this monster, perhaps it was born from the troubles, misfortunes and negative emotions of others."
When asked why he makes a living from these things, Baili Wuyiqi Lu Saner could not answer.
There's a saying that life always has a way out, and presumably the same applies to evil spirits and demons.
Thinking of this, the cat opened its mouth and let out a low growl, while the mist swirling around its body began to envelop the two of them.
Seeing this, Baili stood in front of Yukino and looked at the monster.
"You are too weak."
This is a declaration.
This also foreshadows the beginning and end of this conflict.
There was nothing dramatic about the process.
The moment the black cat-shaped monster released its memory-devouring mist, it was swallowed by the energy born from the void.
Its seemingly fragile body was immediately blasted away.
This is precisely why the negative memory of being eaten by the black cat spread once again.
These memories also have a certain degree of aggression.
An angry roar;
The pounding of grief;
A feeble punch;
The actions of the characters in the memory were used as weapons by the black cat.
As Baili watched the aggressive memory mist attacking from all directions, Yukino beside him realized that the situation was very bad.
"Let's leave first, Baili-jun!"
"No need, it's already over."
The imaginary energy surged a second time.
A very small amount... almost negligible amount of destiny power was released through the Star God.
However, this was a devastating blow to the black cat and its devouring of memories!
At that moment, Yukino saw the spatial fluctuations shatter her memories, and the black cat was also swallowed up, crashing heavily to the ground once again.
The remaining memories began to surface, with more resentment and a few memories that brought laughter flying into the air.
It seems that not all of it was unfortunate...
Meanwhile, the black cat that had been crushed tried to struggle.
Just as Hyakuri was about to end it all, she saw Yukino rush towards her.
"Where will those memories go if the black cat is simply wiped out?"
"I don't know, I've never thought about this question before."
Could it simply dissipate?
Or should it return to its original owner?
"Is it possible to turn that black cat-shaped monster into a familiar or something?"
Yukino Yukinoshita, whose breathing had become easier, suddenly made a suggestion.
Baili looked at the girl beside him in surprise.
"I didn't expect Yukinoshita to know this."
"Actually, I started investigating after Yuihama and that girl lost their memories. I watched some paranormal programs, and there have been related news reports recently. Hyakuri may have also seen them."
This is true.
Recently, news programs have been reporting on some unusual events.
However, Baili had no interest in recruiting familiars.
But then he remembered the setting he had mentioned earlier.
A black cat that devours memories;
A special being that uses this power to fight.
It feels a lot like Yi Ling.
"You can give it a try, Yukinoshita."
"Who? Me?"
"Because you were the one who brought it up, you should also bear this responsibility."
"But... I don't know what to do."
"Then give it a try."
Baili stretched out his right hand towards the snow.
"Be mine."
“Baili Jun…? This is not the time for jokes.”
“This is no joke. I’ve shown you the truth of the world, and the broader side has more possibilities, which may include the opportunity to turn that black cat into a familiar.”
"Lord Baili, who exactly are you...?"
"God?"
"If that's the case, I'd like to give it a try."
Faced with a boy who claims to be a god, whether he's joking or not, Yukino Yukinoshita is determined to give it a try!
Because everything that is happening now has overturned her past understanding.
There's no going back now.
Action must be taken!
If the black cat that devours memories can be controlled, it will definitely turn the situation around!
"Then... please let me be yours, Baili-kun."
"very good."
Although Baili had his eye on the girl's lips, he did not intend to take any action today.
Then——
The power drawn from the Chaotic Fate was given out by Baili.
A chaotic energy, intertwined with memories, instantly filled Yukino Yukinoshita's body.
She felt her mind go blank, but she quickly recovered.
The world seemed to become clearly visible at that moment.
Yukino sensed the changes in her surroundings.
That was a deep cry and lament from the misty memories.
Yukino Yukinoshita left Hyakusato's side, feeling that the special power she had just gained could be put to good use.
So she crouched down and stretched out her right hand to the dying black cat.
In an instant, the energy of fate's shift enveloped the black cat.
As the thick fog dissipated, the intertwined memories suddenly became well-organized.
"Did it work...?"
Hyakuri discovers that Yukino Yukinoshita has purified the black cat.
It's like Mai defeating an evil spirit;
Just like Asia used holy light to destroy monsters.
Using the power given to her by Hyakusei, Yukino Yukinoshita completely dispelled the mist on the black cat's body.
"Meow."
Surprisingly, the black cat that Yukino touched suddenly improved a lot and gently rubbed its head against the girl's hand.
Is this... Yukino's memory cat?
Chapter 37 Mai, Rias: Newcomers? Yukino? Remember the civet cat? !
Same fate, different abilities.
Just like the Fate Walker in the game's story.
The moment they embark on the road, they will gain their own unique power.
To put it more vividly, it's like a thousand people all receiving a million dollars, but they would certainly use it in different ways.
Furthermore, the chaos within Baili will devour, annex, and utilize the power of other destinies, making its possibilities even greater.
