……

In fact, both Sephiroths fighting in the arena noticed Shen Ye and his companions' arrival, but neither of them paid attention to them. Instead, they unleashed fierce sword strikes at their other selves.

However, Sephiroth in this world has been overwhelmed after losing the help of the Fila. Although those Fila seem weak, the help they provide is surprisingly great. Fate has given them abilities that ordinary people dare not imagine.

Swish!

Another Sephiroth forced the Sephiroth of this world back with a single sword strike. Just as he was about to utter a few sarcastic words, he felt a sword aura approaching.

He casually swung a sword aura, shattering the other sword aura. Only then did the other Sephiroth look at Shen Ye, and a hint of surprise finally appeared on his seemingly perpetually smiling face.

"You are not from this world," he said slowly. "Where did Claude go?"

“He… should be resting now.” Shen Ye twirled his sword and looked at him with a smile: “He has realized his dream and become a mercenary.”

"A mercenary? It seems that guy is still influencing him. He hasn't made any progress at all!" Another Sephiroth glanced at the Sephiroth of this world and shook his head slightly.

At this moment, Tifa and Alice also came down. However, Tifa jumped down directly from the platform, just like Shen Ye, while Alice slowly walked down the stairs, after all, she was just a spellcaster.

Scarlett didn't come down. She hadn't fully adapted to her powers yet. Because she had injected herself with Genova's cells, even if they were diluted, she had some memories instantly added to her mind after glancing at Genova's corpse. So she withdrew and took out her communicator to call for backup.

Upon seeing Aerith and Tifa appear, Sephiroth from the other world paused for a moment, especially after seeing Tifa and Aerith naturally cling to Shen Ye. He looked at Sephiroth from this world with a hint of amusement: "I didn't expect it to have gotten this chaotic. Were you resisting from the very beginning?"

Sephiroth of this world remained silent. He was now merely an avatar, and without Fira's help, he could only slowly recover the physical strength and energy he had previously consumed.

Seeing that Sephiroth of this world remained silent, the other Sephiroth shook his head, then looked at Shen Ye again, along with Aerith and Tifa behind him, a sly smile in his sky-blue eyes: "So that means that guy is still all alone? Oh dear, he's really pitiful. If he knew the original story, he would definitely go crazy, wouldn't he?"

Shen Ye knew who Sephiroth was talking about. Seeing Fira spinning around him in a panic, he smiled and said, "For him, this might be a good thing. At least he doesn't have to make an indecisive choice."

“That’s true, that guy has never dared to truly face his own feelings.” The other Sephiroth nodded thoughtfully, then his gaze fell on Alice. After examining her carefully, he nodded: “I see. No wonder the world has become like this. It turns out it’s not just ‘me’ who’s rebelling.”

Although it was just a casual glance, Alice felt a chilling coldness. In the eyes of Sephiroth from another world, she sensed murderous intent, and thinking about her future fate, she became somewhat nervous.

Shen Ye glanced at Alice, took her hand with his free hand, squeezed her palm tightly, and said, "Don't worry, the future won't happen again."

"Hmm!" Alice's expression softened as she felt the warmth from Shen Ye's palm.

"It won't happen? That's not something you can just say." Another Sephiroth narrowed his eyes, his long sword pointing diagonally, and with the flapping of his black single wing, his body lifted off the ground.

"I will kill you, then seal 'me' into the Great Void, and then let what should have happened happen again." Another Sephiroth said, suddenly unleashing more than a dozen sword energies at Shen Ye.

Unlike his experience fighting Sephiroth in this world, Shen Ye suddenly felt powerless when facing the attack of another Sephiroth. The Sephiroth in front of him was very strong and showed no mercy.

"No wonder I always thought Sephiroth was holding back; it turns out he never intended to kill me." A thought popped into Shen Ye's mind, and he immediately swung his sword, unleashing more than a dozen sword energies. Tifa, standing beside him, also threw punches, creating bursts of wind.

At the same time, Alice quickly finished chanting the incantation, and a giant magic circle covered the entire 68th floor of the Hojo Research Lab.

Shen Ye and Tifa, who were inside the magic circle, felt a continuous flow of power surging into their bodies.

Boom boom boom...

Sword energy clashed with sword energy, producing a shrill, booming sound. Before the airflow generated by the collision could dissipate, Tifa's fist had already appeared in front of another Sephiroth.

But in the other world, Sephiroth simply swung his katana Masamune diagonally across the ground, then swung it upwards, shattering Tifa's fist wind.

“You’re still far from it,” Sephiroth from another world said coldly.

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ye appeared in front of him, his hand, which was not holding a sword, raised in a gesture of nonchalance, with destructive power gathering in his palm.

Annihilation Palm!

The move that repelled Sephiroth of this world with a single palm strike.

"An unheard-of ability." Sephiroth from another world uttered a phrase that Sephiroth from this world had once said. However, sensing the destructive power in Shen Ye's palm, he did not choose to confront it head-on. Instead, he tapped his toes and retreated rapidly.

However, the Annihilation Palm itself has an automatic locking function. No matter how far Sephiroth retreated, Shen Ye followed until he could no longer control the power in his palm and unleashed the Annihilation Palm.

boom!

The power that had been accumulating for so long was finally released. The violent force almost destroyed everything that the internal energy had passed through, and even the steel-paved ground was deeply pressed down.

Before the smoke and flying debris could settle, Shen Ye charged in with his sword, followed by Sephiroth and Tifa from this world.

Clang! Bang! Boom!

The next second, three voices rang out at the same time, and then Tifa was seen being knocked away. Fortunately, Alice arrived in time and caught her from mid-air, but this caused the two of them to roll on the ground together.

"Good weight."

Alice was so pressed down by Tifa that she almost couldn't catch her breath. She rubbed her chest, which was sore from Tifa's pressure, and complained.

"I'm not heavy at all!" Tifa's chest also hurt a little, and when she heard Alice's words, she puffed out her chest. "You're just jealous."

……

Chapter 218! Battle on the Rooftop: The Returning Heavenly Sword

……

"What am I jealous of?" Alice glanced deeply at Tifa's chest, then looked away at the three people locked in combat.

To be honest, Shen Ye was the weakest of the three, but because of his weapon and the fact that his moves had never appeared in this world before, he put considerable pressure on Sephiroth from the other world.

After all, he shares the same lineage as Sephiroth of this world, and with Fira's help, over time, he completely dominates Sephiroth of this world.

However, even with Shen Ye's help, victory was still extremely difficult. Fira brought not only almost limitless stamina and energy, but also significantly boosted the power of Sephiroth from another world.

After Sephiroth from another world parried the lightsaber and katana, he suddenly soared into the sky, wielding his longsword and unleashing a sword aura that shattered the ceiling.

"Let's find another place. This place is too small; we can't move around freely."

Sephiroth from another world, his voice filled with boundless fighting spirit, still echoed through the shattered ceiling.

Sephiroth of this world naturally flew up to follow, but Shen Ye looked helpless, as he couldn't fly at all.

Watching the two Sephiroths disappear before his eyes, Shen Ye called out to Alice and Tifa, and together they ran out the door to take the elevator.

Just as Shen Ye and his two companions emerged from Hojo's research lab, they encountered Scarlett, who was leading a large group of Shinra special forces soldiers out of the elevator.

"Finished fighting?" Scarlett asked, puzzled, when he saw Shen Ye and the other two.

"Not yet, they've gone up there." Shen Ye pointed helplessly to the sky above. "They can fly, we can't."

"Pfft!" Seeing Shen Ye's helpless expression, Scarlett suddenly laughed, then directed several Shinra special forces soldiers into Hojo's research lab, making room for them and having them tidy up the lab.

When the group took the elevator to the rooftop of the Shinra Building, the two Sephiroths were already fighting again.

Unlike their performance in confined spaces, in open areas, the two Sephiroths unleashed increasingly ferocious attacks over ever larger areas.

The crisscrossing sword energy almost completely covered the rooftop, cutting many of the buildings on the rooftop into fragments. All the fragments were blown down by the gale-force winds generated by the sword energy, turning into falling debris, and it was unknown which unlucky person would be hit.

Alice held three or four magic crystals in each hand, all of which were Yuffie's treasures. As magic power was poured in, seven or eight magic circles appeared on the rooftop.

Even though Alice was the only ancient species and had the life force of the planet replenishing her magic, she still gasped for breath after consuming so much magic in one go.

"It's our turn." Alice used buff-type spells, and feeling the increasingly powerful aura around him, Shen Ye drew his sword and charged forward, unleashing a series of slashes.

Tifa followed closely behind, the magic crystals embedded in her gloves emitting a dazzling glow, granting her even greater speed.

Scarlett then directed the Shinra special forces soldiers to assemble their heavy sniper rifles on the spot.

They are not yet able to intervene in this level of combat.

"You're too slow." Sephiroth of this world was forced back by another Sephiroth. Although it was just a clone, he still felt a little tired and said to Shen Ye as he retreated.

“Taking an elevator takes time; not everyone can fly like you.” Shen Ye glanced at him, then his body erupted with dazzling sword light, condensing into a giant sword that smashed towards another Sephiroth.

Return to Heaven and let your sword ring out!

As the giant sword spun down, the other Sephiroth tried to block it, but as the sword drew closer, the ground in front of him began to shatter, followed by a series of explosions.

Boom boom boom...

The rooftop, which could accommodate a helicopter, was smashed, sending up clouds of dust and countless pieces of rubble flying everywhere.

Behind the other Sephiroth, who was kneeling on the ground, a winding ravine stretched for dozens of meters.

"Cough cough..." The other Sephiroth coughed lightly, clutching his chest, before standing up. Fira beside him moved in and out of his body, and the injuries he had just sustained healed at a visible speed.

“Very good, this is more interesting.” Another Sephiroth waved his hand in front of him, dispelling the dust, and said in a sinister tone.

As Shinra's most powerful special forces soldier, he enjoys challenging opponents.

Then, he suddenly twisted his hand holding the knife, pointing the long sword horizontally at Shen Ye and Tifa and the others beside him, and said coldly, "Don't disappoint me!"

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen." Shen Ye supported Tifa with one hand, taking a few deep breaths. With the help of Alice's magic circle, he was already able to use higher-level skills with difficulty.

“Then let’s… continue.” The other Sephiroth’s injuries had been fully healed, and as he finished speaking, he raised his sword again.

This time, his momentum was even stronger, and the Fira were not only repairing his body, but also continuing to increase his power.

Swish!

A massive sword aura shot out from the sky, flashing a pale white light in the pitch-black night, instantly illuminating the sky above the Shinra Building.

Faced with such ferocious sword energy, Shen Ye and the others naturally couldn't possibly block it head-on. Shen Ye and Sephiroth from this world each unleashed a sword energy, which, although unable to neutralize the massive sword energy, still managed to deflect it.

The sword energy, deflected by the impact, soared into the sky and flew an unknown distance before exploding with a thunderous roar, engulfing the entire Midgar in a burst of white light.

At this moment, no one in Midgar could sleep peacefully anymore. Everyone, regardless of who they were, stepped out of their rooms and looked up at the sky above the Shinra Tower.

"Claude, what's wrong?"

On the street, Barrett and the others, who were resting, also noticed the scene in the sky. Just as they were wondering about it, Claude suddenly covered his head and screamed.
