âWait, what?â
âYouâre not Yuno? Then who are you?â
Ludwig wasnât the only one confused. Agatha and the others felt like they were going to faint, as it took
them a lot to be able to kill off that demonic god and save Yuno at the same time.
Ludwig
Alex
âAnd now youâre telling us youâre not Yuno?â
âI am the Peacock Heavenly King!â The unfamiliar voice then emphasized, âThe true Peacock Heavenly
King!â
After a short pause, she continued. âThank you for all your help, else I wouldâve actually become
someone else.â
Ludwig immediately questioned. âThen what about Yuno? Is Yuno not the Peacock Heavenly King?â
Ludwig
Alex
The voice replied. âYuno⦠She is probably one of my divided souls. She was able to escape this place,
but she came back horribly injured. I didnât have a choice but to dissipate her so that she could merge
back into my soul again.â
It turned out she really didnât have any other way to deal with that. She was indeed part of her soul,
after all.
âBut wouldnât dissipating her mean that none of her memories will remain?â
Yuno hadnât been with Ludwig for long. It had only been at most two years since he started dating
Phoebe. He remembered that Yuno told him to train Phoebe up to the Spirit Severing stage within three
years and to follow her to someplace.
Ludwig
Alex
It would seem that she was talking about this underwater city. However, Ludwig suddenly went to the
Undead Territory after the accident at the Flying Eagles Academy. He completely disappeared from this
face of the Earth.
Ludwig
Alex
It was likely that Yuno had lost hope in Ludwig since then. Yet now, Ludwig knew that he would be left
with regret if he were to allow Yuno to dissipate just like that. He spoke up. âMiss Peacock, I know a
thing or two about healing souls. Can you release your divided soul, Yuno, so that I can have a look at
her?â
Ludwig
Alex
Ludwig
Alex
âMaybe I might be able to heal her, then you wonât have to completely dissipate her.â
The peacock asked, âAnd whatâs the point of that? She is just a divided soul.â
Ludwig responded. âDo you not want to keep her memories? At least youâll know what was going on
when she was away.â
Ludwig
Alex
The peacock didnât really care much but decided to agree, seeing how persistent Ludwig was about
this matter.
Ludwig
Alex
Her forehead burst with light as a ball of green light floated out from between her brows. There seemed
to be a faint phantom of a peacock within that green light. It was small and spiritual, and it had its eyes
closed. However, the phantom didnât seem to be stable at all. It would become blurry once in a while,
which was a symptom of an unstable, divided soul.
Ludwig then called the ball of green light over with his finger, placing it in the middle of his palm. âYuno,
Yuno..?â
Ludwig
Alex
âJoe, I didnât expect you⦠To have gotten this farâ¦â Yunoâ divine consciousness entered Ludwigâs
mind yet still sounded quite faint.
Joe,
Alex,
Ludwig
Alex
âI knew you wouldnât die so easily. Phoebe insisted on believing that too. Iâm delighted that you could
come back safely and save my original body.â
âIâm here to save you too. You donât have to say anything.â Ludwig said.
Ludwig
Alex
âThereâs no use. I am just a divided soul. Iâm already incomplete, and after injuring my core, I couldnât
possibly restore how I initially was.â Yunoâ divine consciousness was weak and distant.
Hence Ludwig was the only one who could hear her voice.
Ludwig
Alex
âAs a divided soul, Iâd have to return at some point. The ending is all the same.â
âBut you will forget about everything.â
âItâs okay, Iâve been here before, and Iâve lived independently before. I even got to know you and
Phoebe. Thatâs more than enough for me.â
Ludwig shook his head. He would feel terrible if Yuno were to be dissipated, as it would feel like she
died right in front of him, no less. Reaching his hands out, he activated his Chi, the Ultimate Book of
Medicine, and several Zharvakko talismans. He then inserted all of this into Yunoâ dissipating soul,
using it on her. He even grabbed a handful of pills and extracted its medicinal powers, sending it
straight into her soul.
