Chapter 188 - The Ultimate Despair, Dissipated!

Although Junko Enoshima planned to use the Royal Orb to ambush Jaden, she wasn't entirely unprepared otherwise.

-Preparing too little would arouse suspicion.

So, for this matter, she specifically searched through Mukuro Ikusaba's secret armory and properly equipped herself with a full set of Imperial Knight Armaments!

A full-plate bulletproof vest, state-of-the-art, capable of stopping close-range gunfire!

A brand-new full-plate tactical helmet, also equipped with tactical goggles that had shooting assistance and binocular functions.

In addition to the previous Knight Type 3 sniper rifle, she also held a Dagger Type 2 submachine gun.

She had two close-range spray tubes hidden in her vambraces, strapped to her arms.

The front of her shoes also contained a small amount of explosive in the bulging part; it would explode upon kicking someone, and because the area around the explosion was protected, it wouldn't cause substantial damage to her foot. For Mukuro Ikusaba, she would only feel pain for a while, but for Junko Enoshima to use it, she would likely be movement-restricted after the kick.

But none of that mattered.

The main point was that wearing this equipment-the heavy bulletproof vest and the helmet that basically covered her entire head-had armored her into a 'can' like an ancient full-plate knight.

However, the biggest use of this set of Imperial Armed Knight tactical equipment, modified by Mukuro Ikusaba, for the current Junko Enoshima was to hide the Royal Orb!

Beneath this equipment, Junko Enoshima had removed the internal shock absorption layer of the bulletproof vest, then strapped the backpack containing the Royal Orb, which she had been carrying outside, to her front!

This way, once Jaden's attack penetrated the bulletproof vest's protection, his hand would directly shatter the Royal Orb's isolation device, thereby touching the Royal Orb itself!

The curse emanating from the unisolated Royal Orb would surely kill both of them here.

But even so, she didn't care!

"...Or maybe the fact that those people, after discovering Jaden and I died together, could only find my dead body to vent their anger-isn't that also a form of despair~!"

Thinking this, Junko Enoshima trembled with excitement!

At that moment, through her tactical goggles, she saw Jaden walking slowly towards her, hands in his pockets.

-That's it.

After watching Jaden's fight with Izuru Kamukura, Junko Enoshima knew that if Jaden wanted to kill her with all his might, even wearing this equipment and having the tactical goggles, she might not even see him-he could kill her without even making eye contact!

However...

The opponent wouldn't do that.

While watching the match, she was also analyzing Jaden using her Ultimate-level analysis skills.

After watching the entire match, she had a certain understanding of Jaden.

-The opponent would absolutely not go all out against her!

"Finally here~"

Junko Enoshima smiled and, seeing Jaden approach a certain distance, she raised the submachine gun in her hand, intending to pull the trigger!

But in that instant, Junko Enoshima's finger missed the trigger!

To be precise, the submachine gun in her hand instantly shattered into fragments and parts the moment she tried to pull the trigger, falling directly to the ground.

And Jaden, who had just been at the farthest range of her effective firing distance, now appeared right in front of her, still with his hands in his pockets.

Previously, Jaden had only instinctively sensed a potential attack coming from this direction, and not wanting to get his clothes dirty, he had simply come over to stop Junko Enoshima's attack.

So he hadn't known about Junko Enoshima's current attire.

This made him pause when he saw Junko Enoshima, who looked like a walking gas tank, and he couldn't hold it in...

Pfft!

Jaden looked at Junko Enoshima, who was stunned because her submachine gun fell apart, and burst into undisguised laughter!

Hahaha, hahahaha!

He laughed so hard that tears were almost coming out!

"Is that outfit serious... I was thinking, after seeing someone attack and sensing that they weren't running away but waiting for me afterward, what kind of arrogant person would be hiding here, and I even wanted to ask who gave you the confidence-but now it seems that this outfit gave you the confidence, huh? Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

Junko Enoshima's attention was drawn back by Jaden's manic laughter.

"What's so funny about this... according to my analysis, even you, if I launch a suicidal attack..."

She spoke as if exasperated, and then, at the critical moment of her sentence, Junko Enoshima's other foot kicked toward Jaden's flank!

Mikazuki Geri (Crescent Kick)-and there were explosives at the tip of her shoe!

Then...

-It hit!

However, although Junko Enoshima's foot kicked Jaden's flank, the shoe on her foot had somehow appeared in Jaden's hand.

"Hiding explosives in your shoe... and this ridiculous equipment..."

As Jaden said this, Junko Enoshima felt a gust of wind near her forehead, and then her helmet shattered directly. She didn't even clearly see what Jaden had done before she was pushed by the force and sat down on the ground.

At this moment, Jaden also saw her face clearly.

"So it's you..."

Jaden had seen Junko Enoshima in the information provided by Byakuya Togami.

Byakuya Togami's evaluation of Mukuro Ikusaba in the file was-capture alive if possible.

And his evaluation of Junko Enoshima was-kill at all costs!

Although the Ultimate Despair had always been the two sisters, Byakuya Togami knew very well that the true source was Junko Enoshima!

He had also shown this information to everyone who came from Totsuki this time!

So...

"Since you didn't run away and specifically stayed behind to attack me, that means you've prepared yourself for death, right?"

Hearing Jaden say this, Junko Enoshima stood up.

She looked at Jaden, her expression somewhat sorrowful.

"After all, we failed with Izuru-senpai's defeat... Plus, I was the mastermind, so naturally..."

Saying this, Junko Enoshima sighed, and then halfway through her sentence, she used the toe of her other foot to kick the ground, and using the force of the explosion, she pounced toward Jaden!

At this moment, the sorrowful expression on her face was gone, replaced by a ridiculously arrogant smile.

"-I've prepared myself to die with you!"

Bang!

The moment she pounced, even as her words had just left her mouth and before they had fully spread, Jaden's hand penetrated Junko Enoshima's heart from the front!

It was also at this moment that a blue light flashed at Jaden's wrist!

Seeing this light, even though Junko Enoshima could no longer speak, she strained her eyes open, her expression incredibly excited!

The container isolating the Royal Orb was shattered.

So...

The moment she had this thought, she saw it through her blurring vision!

She didn't know if it was a hallucination caused by her impending death or if she could really see such a scene just before dying.

In any case, she saw countless black shadows with glowing red eyes in the light of the Royal Orb!

There were withered old men, handsome young men, beautiful women, and even ancient warriors in old armor and helmets!

But the closest one to Junko Enoshima was an old man, and one she recognized.

-It was Byakuya Togami's grandfather, the former head of the Togami family!

Upon seeing him, Junko Enoshima understood.

-All of these were people who had been killed by this Royal Orb!

And when she had this thought, she felt these black shadows reaching out to her, their arms pulling at her!

The areas touched by their hands immediately turned the color of the black shadows, and she was being dragged toward them to become a new black shadow!

Junko Enoshima knew she was going to die.

She hadn't expected to survive today.

However...

At this moment, she fixed her gaze on Jaden!

She saw black shadows near Jaden as well, and she saw those black shadows reaching out to Jaden too!

Yes, that's right, together...

She was anticipating this.

However... just as the black shadows' hands were about to touch Jaden, a faint glow emanated from his body.

It wasn't blinding, but it directly melted the hands of those black shadows, who howled and retreated from Jaden's side!

Jaden seemed unable to see the black shadows, the light on his body, or hear their voices.

But Junko Enoshima could hear them.

Among the black shadows, apart from the old Togami family head and a few others, the rest seemed to recognize this faint light, and they were all shouting furiously!

"It's the damned Royal Family!"

"The Royal Family still has a bloodline left!"

"Why hasn't this cursed clan gone extinct!"

Listening to their roars, Junko Enoshima paused, then watched as Jaden pulled out his hand and grabbed the Royal Orb without anything happening to him. 

She collapsed onto the ground, looking up at Jaden in the pool of blood. 

At this moment, she seemed much clearer, and the smile on her face gradually slackened due to the loss of life, looking somewhat bitter.

Junko Enoshima was about to die.

In the last moments of her life, she understood the old Togami family head's last words.

'Wrong, we were all wrong, hahaha, we were too greedy... it was the Royal Orb, we were all harmed by the Royal Orb!'

-This was the guidance of the Royal Orb.

So that's it.

This is truly... despair...

Junko Enoshima slowly closed her eyes. Her life completely dissipated, and her body, pulled by the black shadows, turned into black dust.

The Ultimate Despair, dissipated!

...

After Jaden returned, he told the others about Junko Enoshima's death.

And he didn't hide the fact that he possessed the Royal Orb.

Byakuya Togami was initially startled, but after calming down, he confirmed that the item Jaden was holding with his bare hand was indeed the Royal Orb!

However, without the isolation device, the Royal Orb now not only failed to kill Jaden, but it didn't seem to affect them either!

Despite this, Byakuya Togami still conducted a series of tests on Jaden and the Royal Orb.

Finally, they reached a conclusion that made them unsure whether to cry or laugh.

That is...

-Jaden was a member of the Royal Family!

And because the curse was gone, they tested the Royal Orb's ability and discovered that it wasn't a Wish Stone at all; its true ability was guidance...

After all this was confirmed, they fashioned the Royal Orb into a pendant and ultimately let Jaden keep it.

Then, Jaden, with the Royal Orb, along with Erina, Karura, Kaguya Shinomiya, and Ouma, boarded the plane for the return journey.

Fuki Kure and Raina Kure did not leave.

They were with the other Kure Clan members-after the matter with the Despair Remnants concluded, they would deal with the Western forces.

And Byakuya Togami and Mamoru Nanami also did not leave.

-They planned to stay and deal with the matters concerning the Despair Remnants.

Jaden said nothing about this, but Erina told them to contact her if they encountered any trouble.

They boarded the plane this way.

After the plane took off, those who had fought or watched the matches all night and had been on guard against the Despair Remnants during the day all fell asleep. Even Erina leaned on Jaden and fell asleep. Conversely, Jaden wasn't sleepy; after putting away the Royal Orb, he casually took out the first volume of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.

-He was about to start reading this manga from another world!
