Simulated Star Iron: Miracles are yours, death is mine

The Imperial Decree Sword [Destiny], forged by the deity "Shi Changbi Mai", can cause desolate tombs and lonely graves to bloom with flowers, and the cycle of life and death to be lost without a trace.

The blade is black and white, with a crimson spider lily blooming on the hilt.

It is the black that leads to hell, but also the white that leads to heaven.

It can also reverse the tide and bring order back to the world.

The forces of life and death flow simultaneously within the blade of [Life], merging with each other yet remaining separate.

This power can be used in an instant, giving a person a new lease on life or turning them into a skeleton in a tomb.

Another ability is to burn the user's life force to deliver the final blow.

This was Sakura's last resort.

Sakura gripped the imperial edict sword, her gaze fixed solemnly on the [Heavenly Winter Robe].

At this moment, she was only three or four hundred meters away from the two gods.

If you go all out, the distance of several hundred meters will be eliminated in just two or three seconds.

"The snow is getting heavier and the temperature is dropping rapidly..." As soon as she spoke, the white mist she exhaled instantly turned into ice shards and fell to the ground. "It's minus 40 degrees Celsius."

One of the tall gods was responsible for creating the cold wind, while the other created large snowflakes with a wave of his hand.

Without much thought, [Heaven's Winter Clothes]'s idea was to use extreme cold to destroy Izumo.

If they are not eliminated in time, the cold wave will surely continue to spread across the globe.

No one can escape it.

In places with inadequate heating systems, things could be destroyed in an instant, just like this city before us.

Even with the power of the imperial edict sword protecting her body, she still felt a chill.

Not to mention the nearby troops, who were all ordinary people who could barely move with the help of their clothes and personal heating equipment.

Judging from the current situation, is it a female deity leading a female deity?

"Then let's go!" she shouted. "You must live, and we must live too!"

In the war for survival, there is only life and death, victory and defeat; there is nothing else to say.

With a soft hum, [Life] was drawn from its sheath.

Under Sakura's resolute gaze, a flash of dark light streaked across the blade, then pierced the sky and struck the two gods.

In an instant, a jet-black wound appeared on the ice-blue skin of both gods, radiating a terrifying eerie light.

The eerie light seemed to possess a life of its own, gradually expanding its range and penetrating deep into the body of [Heavenly Winter Garment].

The two gods quickly reacted, letting out mournful roars and launching equally swift attacks on Sakura.

An even more intense blizzard directly covered an area of ​​over a thousand meters in radius.

Sakura felt her vision was blocked by the wind and snow, and she couldn't see anything around her.

Suddenly, the hairs on her body stood on end, and her body's sense of impending danger was frantically warning her.

Without hesitation, she exerted force with both legs, like a falling cherry blossom, and subconsciously pushed off towards another tall building.

At that very moment, a giant hand struck, smashing the building she had just been standing on to pieces.

Sakura raised her head, and two pairs of cold, indifferent blue eyes met hers through the wind and snow.

This battle of gods has officially begun.

She brandished her sword again: "This is really troublesome. Yuan and Mei's opponents might be even more troublesome than these two."

I wonder how things are going on their end.

-----------------

Ling and her task force are currently adjusting their equipment to launch an attack on [Heavenly Winter Clothes].

Although Sakura possessed the power of the Imperial Decree Blade, she still found it somewhat difficult to face two gods at the same time.

The troops will then open fire to draw the attention of one of the gods, buying time for Sakura.

Soon, in multiple battles with the two gods, Sakura discovered the weakness of the [Heavenly Winter Clothes].

It was that bond that connected the two sisters.

Sakura gripped the imperial edict sword, using all her strength.

In the fierce wind and snow, the pale blue ribbon was completely severed by the dark blade!

The two divine sisters seemed to have suffered a great shock; their shrill cries transformed into sound waves, scattering everything around them.

Sakura lost her balance for a moment, but fortunately she used her life force to stabilize herself.

This strike did indeed have an effect.

The aura of [Heavenly Winter Garment] is visibly diminishing.

"good chance!"

Without hesitation, Sakura swung her sword again, aiming at the smaller of the gods.

The dark blade flashed in the sky once more, and the aura of death mercilessly gripped [Heavenly Winter Garment].

The imperial edict commands you to die at midnight; who can keep you alive until dawn?

In the flash of death, the relatively short "clothing" among the [Winter Clothes of Heaven] was completely killed.

Like a giant snowman, it exploded and collapsed in an instant, turning into clumps of snow that instantly buried the city streets.

A stream of light flew from the dead "clothes" into the body of "winter".

Blue liquid slid down from "Winter's" eye sockets.

Rin asked in surprise, "Um...tears? Do gods also feel sadness?"

Sakura wanted to raise her sword again, but found that her body, along with the falling snow around her, became incredibly slow.

It's as if the world has been slowed down!

"boom--"

"Winter" raised its hand, and along with the solid ice, slapped the cherry blossoms flying in the air to the ground.

"The power of time?!"

Sakura felt a sudden dizziness as her body was pierced by several ice spikes, but no blood came out.

Because the blood had been frozen.

The imperial edict sword also fell into the distance.

If it weren't for the life energy protecting her, she would definitely be dead.

But without the blessing of the imperial edict sword, she is now just a relatively stronger mortal.

Enraged, "Winter" charged toward Sakura on the ground, attempting to kill her completely and avenge his sister!

Ling ran towards the imperial edict in a panic, crying out, "Sister!"

She had to pick up the imperial edict sword, or Sakura would be dead!

Sakura strained her hands to break off the ice spikes, yelling at Rin, "Rin! Don't touch the Imperial Sword! Run!!!"

She didn't stop, and seemed not to hear Sakura's calls.

The first rule of the troops: No one other than the master of the sword may touch the imperial sword; violators will be executed.

Because the imperial edict sword possesses a spirit, it despises those who are not compatible.

To wield the Imperial Edict Blade, one must risk their life.

Ling knew this rule and was well aware of the consequences.

But my sister is more important than my own life.

"Ring! Stop! You'll die!" Sakura was no longer as gentle as before; her eyes were filled with despair.

She had already broken off the ice spikes from her thigh, but it was too late.

Rin turned to look at Sakura, revealing a gentle smile: "Izumo... cannot be without a swordsman like you, sister."

Sister, you've always been the one protecting me since we were little. This time, it's my turn to protect you!

She reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword "Life." Despite the heavy snowfall, a searing, agonizing burning sensation shot through her palm.

[Fate] is rebelling against her, trying to break free from her control!

She didn't let go, enduring the excruciating pain of being burned alive, and suddenly pulled the katana from the ground:

"I will use my own life to exchange for the life of a god!"

"Make sure my sister is safe and sound!"

In a daze, Ling heard a voice that was a mixture of a child's innocent voice and a weathered old man's voice: "Transaction completed."

Only life can be exchanged for life, and only death can bring about life.

The next moment, she raised [Life] and swung it at "Winter" in the distance.

In an instant, the dark blade severed "Winter's" legs, causing it to fall to the ground and preventing it from getting any closer!

Sakura finally broke free of her restraints and came to the bell and the imperial sword.

"younger sister!"

But it's too late.

After unleashing that strike, Rin, having exhausted her life force, rapidly dissipated into the wind and snow.

"Sister, today is our birthday, don't cry." She smiled at Sakura one last time, "Happy birthday, sister..."

The girl's figure disappeared, leaving only the blue bracelet she had worn since childhood lying on the ground with a crisp sound.

"bell!"
