"I know you will answer yes, right? Yunyu, I've loved you for so long, and this is already a perfect plan. Let's just have a peaceful life together."

"A peaceful life?" Yunyu smiled and slowly caressed Monster Matthew's cheeks. "Do you think this is a peaceful life?"

"Of course, we have everything here. What do you want? Do you want to eat anything? Christmas turkey? Boba milk tea? Ramen? We have everything. With just a flick of fingers, I can make it come true."

"What's your definition of a peaceful life?" Yunyu asked.Â

"My definition? When I have everything I need without any outer disturbance and with you by my side. It's fairly simple, isn't it?" Monster Matthew grinned, showing his sharp teeth. "I'm a simple man, Yunyu. It's you who's far too complicated."

"I see'¦" Yunyu smiled. "So you want me by your side. As long as I'm with you, you'll be happy, right?"

"Yes."

"But what about me? Do you think I'm happy right now?"

"I can provide you with anything you want. Of course, you're happy!" Monster Matthew insisted. He didn't seem to be open for discussion either.Â

"I see, so that was your definition of happiness for me," Yunyu smiled. "But why am I sad right now? I'm so sad that I might rather die than stay with you."

"DON'T SAY IT!" Monster Matthew exclaimed. "I don't want to listen to any of your bullshit!"Â

Yunyu continued caressing Monster Matthew's cheeks, the edge of his eyes, his chin, his neck and lastly, on his chest right on top of his heart.

He couldn't feel any heartbeat. Just like his cold skin, Monster Matthew felt like a corpse instead of a living creature.Â

"I'm not happy, Matthew'¦."Â

"I DON'T CARE! JUST SHUT UP AND STAY WITH ME!" Monster Matthew insisted. He tightened his arm around Yunyu's waist, making it hard to breathe for him.Â

But Yunyu didn't care anymore. He was too heartbroken to accept this. This was stuff straight out of a nightmare.Â

[Pupa, is there no way for me to save Maximillien, Wolf, and Raphael right now other than restart?]

[Pupa: Nope. This is their end. You cannot do anything to revive them, and honestly, I'm not sure about restart either.]

[Why?]

[Pupa: Because this world has been doomed by Monster Matthew.]

[Pupa: We are currently living in this bubble that he created with his power. Strangely, I sensed that he has similar power with Master Han Ye, but I cannot detect any soul shard in him.]

[Pupa: And even after he becomes the new Master of the world, there is still no soul shard detectable. He forced himself by swallowing Matthew, Maximillien, Wolf, and Raphael's soul shard to be the new Master and absolutely destroyed everything in this world for his own benefit.]

Yunyu was heartbroken when he heard there was no way to save Maximillien, Wolf, and Raphael.Â

Pupa knew what was inside Yunyu's heart, so it tried to console him.

[Pupa: Don't be too heartbroken about it. They're not Master Han Ye's soul shard anymore. All of them had been gobbled up by Monster Matthew.]

[It's not that'”It's not only about the mission.]

[I'¦ I like them all for real. I personally love them!]

Yunyu glared at Monster Matthew. He kept glaring silently, making the Monster anxious about what Yunyu was about to do.Â

Even though he thought that he had everything in line, he knew that Yunyu was full of surprise.Â

"W'”What?" Monster Matthew asked. "You know that you cannot escape me, right?"

"I know. Since this place is your realm, I cannot do anything here. But that doesn't mean that I will be completely helpless."

"Y'”You're helpless! You cannot do anything in this realm except accepting your defeat! You must live with me!"Â

[Pupa'¦ can you help me with your magic? You have a limitless capability, right?

[Pupa: I do. But there is a limit to it. What do you want?]

[I don't know what would happen, but I absolutely refuse to live here with this Monster. I want to break free.]

[Just follow my instruction, okay?]

[Pupa:'¦ fine.]

Yunyu took a deep breath and commanded, "Pupa, come out."

Pupa materialized itself in front of Monster Matthew. Monster Matthew was stunned when he saw the floating orange thing in front of him.

"What are you'”HOW COULD YOU ENTER MY REALM!?"

Pupa said nothing, waiting for an order from Yunyu.Â

"Pupa, give me light purification."Â

"Understand," Pupa floated up high and then activated its code.

"Code 70: Majestic Pillar of Purification."

Slowly, a huge holy circle with runes appeared in the sky, right above Monster Matthew and Yunyu.Â

Monster Matthew's eyes widened, he was about to dodge the incoming attack, but he was one second too late.Â

The holy circle blasted Monster Matthew and Yunyu with divine purification that burned Monster Matthew's body.Â

"AARRRGHHHHHH!!!" Monster Matthew was screaming in pain. He never felt something so painful, and it burned his body.

He saw that Yunyu was also burning since Monster Matthew already put his dark essence inside Yunyu's heart.Â

Monster Matthew saw Yunyu closing his eyes, accepting the fate that would befall him. His body slowly burned and his skin into charcoal.Â

At this rate, Yunyu would die.Â

Monster Matthew gritted his teeth. He clenched Yunyu's jaw and opened his mouth. Under the holy pillar, Monster Matthew sucked the essence that bound Yunyu with him, so Yunyu wouldn't get hurt by the light pillar.Â

He pushed Yunyu away from him while his body was burning.Â

Yunyu was shocked. He thought he could kill himself with Monster Matthew in this world. But Monster Matthew actually sucked the dark essence away from his body and bear the pain by himself.Â

"PUPA, STOP!" Yunyu yelled.

Pupa obeyed and stopped the purification pillar.

Monster Matthew fell on his knees. The pain was unbearable, but seeing Yunyu getting burned in front of him hurt even more than just physical pain.Â

"You'”I will not allow you to die!" Monster Matthew said. He was panting heavily, but he tried hard to get up and walked towards Yunyu to grab him again.Â

Yunyu took a step backwards when Monster Matthew was about to reach him. He was still confused why would Monster Matthew pulled the dark essence out of Yunyu's body just to save him.Â

Did this Monster actually love him or hate him enough to turn Yunyu into an obsession?

Because for Yunyu, this wasn't what love should be, and he refused to stay.Â

"I don't want to stay with you, you hideous monster," Yunyu said.Â

Monster Matthew paused. He felt a sharp pinch on his heart, although he knew it wasn't beating in the first place.Â

"I'¦ I become like this because I want to stay with you, Jean'”"

"But I don't want to stay with you. I'd rather die than stay with a monster like you!"Â

Yunyu took another step back and commanded Pupa, "Pupa, a dagger! Summon a dagger for me!"

"'¦ Code 171: Light Dagger."

Pupa summoned a dagger in Yunyu's hand, and Yunyu pointed it at his heart.

"No! Don't!" Monster Matthew tried to reach Yunyu, but his body had been weakened by the holy pillar, and he fell on his knees again.

He stared at Monster Matthew, full of hatred, "I hope I will never see a hideous monster like you. DON'T FOLLOW ME ANYMORE, YOU UGLY BASTARD!"

Yunyu plunged the dagger on his heart, a light came out of his heart, then Yunyu's body was engulfed with bright light for a while, blinding Monster Matthew.Â

"NOOOO!!!" Monster Matthew screamed, he pushed himself to reach Yunyu, but the moment he touched his hand, Yunyu's body exploded right in front of Monster Matthew's eyes.
