Makima had no idea what was going on inside the Yamai sisters' hearts.
To her, it seemed like these two just started kissing each other for no reason after their fusion failed.
Even she was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
What was happening?
Had they given up after the fusion failed, realizing they had no hope of turning the tide?
Makima pondered this for a moment, but she couldn't understand why the Yamai sisters would suddenly lose themselves in a kiss during the battle.
However, she wasn't planning to waste any more time.
She had originally wanted to see if these two had any more tricks that could surprise her, but it seemed there was nothing left.
"In the end, you've done what you never dared to do before in your life. I suppose you can die without regrets."
With that, Makima raised her hand and lightly waved her finger.
The energy that had gathered in the hole in the sky instantly stirred.
Thick blood began to fall from it, and the air was filled with the stench of death.
From the hole that seemed to connect the heavens, a grotesque chunk of flesh, even larger than the Gun Devil, began to emerge.
It was a chimera formed by the brutal fusion of countless human-like bodies, as though born from humanity's deepest fears. The sight was so terrifying that any normal person would scream upon seeing it. Under the power of Makima's control, this hideous creation was forcefully stitched together.
Countless arms gripped various weapons, and every fused human body emitted a different aura.
They emerged from the large hole like a human centipede, their pitch-black eyes reflecting the Yamai sisters beneath them.
They waved their arms, swords and knives clashing, their malice overflowing.
With immense strength, they danced their death dance toward the Yamai sisters.
Boom——————!
Makima's creation collided with the Yamai sisters, shattering everything around them.
The sand cracked under the blow, houses collapsed with a roar, and even the seawater was temporarily pushed aside by the strike.
Every weapon was imbued with different Devilic abilities and curses. When they collided with the Yamai sisters' shield, powerful waves of energy erupted.
The Yamai sisters, as though resigned to their fate, made no attempt to resist and instead held tightly against the creature.
The next moment, the creature's bone-like body seemed to liquefy, fusing with its thick blood as it attempted to corrode every inch of the Yamai sisters' bodies.
Soon, within that pool of blood and flesh, the Yamai sisters' presence began to fade.
No longer could their familiar energy be felt. Makima casually snapped her fingers, and the large hole in the sky vanished.
"How unfortunate, I couldn't let Denji kill you both himself."
Makima sighed lightly.
Recruiting the Yamai sisters had been an unexpected move in her plan. At the time, she had thought it would benefit her, as it seemed to align with her objectives. That was why she had brought them into her fold and arranged for Denji to live with them.
But things hadn't gone according to plan, and the Yamai sisters had gradually become an obstacle.
To ensure the success of her plan, she now had no choice but to eliminate these two subordinates she had personally recruited.
However, just as Makima was about to leave, she suddenly stopped.
She turned back to look at the blood-soaked pool on the beach, narrowing her eyes.
Because she sensed a new energy rising.
Boom————!
Before she could comprehend what was happening, the strange energy within the pitch-black blood suddenly solidified.
It was as if a new entity had arrived in the world.
A shockwave burst from within the blood, sending debris flying.
In the center, a humanoid figure wrapped in glaring light slowly rose.
"Just as expected, they still have a trump card!"
Makima's heart skipped a beat as she activated her power once more.
The hole in the sky was once again expanded, this time more than three times larger than before.
With her control power pushed to its limits, Makima called upon every Devil hunter, Devil, and magical creature under her command, gathering their energy together in a frenzy.
A far more grotesque and terrifying chimera crawled out of the hole, letting out a shrill scream directed at the glowing figure.
Within a ten-mile radius, every living being that heard the scream had their hearts suddenly seize, blood pouring from their seven orifices.
Humans, animals, all of them—none could struggle, and they all lost their lives.
Even the residual shockwave nearly wiped out every creature that heard the sound.
Yet the girl wrapped in light seemed unaffected.
She lifted her head, fearlessly locking eyes with the chimera.
Then, a wind power similar to that of the Yamai sisters exploded from her body.
However, this power was far stronger, more concentrated, and more suffocating than what the Yamai sisters had displayed.
With the kind of oppressive force that made both Devils and humans bow before her, there was no room for resistance in the face of this power.
The light surrounding her shattered, revealing the girl within.
It was a face, exquisitely identical to that of the Yamai sisters.
Her orange-yellow hair cascaded freely over her shoulders, her skin-tight waist cincher outlining her perfect curves, and her armor-like boots wrapped around her calves, giving her a carefree, knightly vibe.
The girl smiled confidently, with a look in her eyes that held some resemblance to Kaguya Yamai, but also a coolness that reminded one of Yamai Yuzuru.
"Could it be... you are..."
Seeing this both familiar and unfamiliar girl, Makima's eyes widened.
The girl, full of vigor, lifted her chin and struck a heroic pose.
"I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!"
"I AM THE RECLAIMER OF MY NAME!"
The girl sang her birth song loudly, raising her right hand and clenching her fist.
The winds across a hundred-mile radius were now at her command.
Gale winds howled, waves roared, black clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled.
The world changed color, the very course of the world altered!
In that moment, the girl truly became the protagonist of this world, with no one able to overshadow her presence.
Feeling the endless spiritual energy flowing through her and the power to change the weather at her fingertips, the girl's smile grew even more radiant.
This was Yamai Kazamachi!
The true Wind Spirit, Yamai Kazamachi!
Stronger than any of the Yamai sisters, surpassing them even if they combined their strengths—this was the true Yamai Kazamachi!
"I proclaim! I AM THE WIND SPIRIT!"
Accompanied by the roar of thunder, the girl's boisterous laughter rang through the heavens and earth.
"The true Wind Yamai Kazamachi has arrived in this world!"
