Chapter 35 - CHAPTER 32 — “Into the Mind of the Monster”

Scene 1 — Null Attempts the Impossible

Null sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, hands trembling.Ever since the Blank Page damaged his memories… it also opened a door.

A door into Aizeno's mind.

Nemica stood close, worried.

Nemica:"Null… don't go too deep. If you break—"

Null (quietly):"I won't break.He will."

Null inhaled sharply—

And the world around him vanished, replaced by a white void with glitching black ink.

Inside Aizeno's Mind

A massive throne appeared.White. Endless. Cold.

Aizeno wasn't sitting there.

Instead, a shadow of him formed, made of shredded pages.

Aizeno's Mind-Shadow:"You dare peek into MY thoughts?"

Null didn't flinch.

Null:"You started this connection.I'm finishing it."

The shadow twisted, splitting into multiple silhouettes — Aizeno's emotions, memories, hatred.

But then…

A faint voice echoed through the void:

"Run."

Null's eyes widened.

That was… his mother's voice.

And suddenly the entire mindscape shook.

Aizeno had noticed Null entering his mind—and now he was collapsing it.

Aizeno's Mind-Shadow (furious):"If you touch the truth… you die."

Null pushed deeper—

—and saw a flash.

A name.

A broken file.

"Project AIZENO — Subject 01: G—"

Null gasped—

And the mind collapsed, throwing him out.

Scene 2 — Luxion Returns (Terrifying Warning)

Null opened his eyes just as the doors BURST open—

Luxion crashed onto the floor.Armor shattered.Face bruised.Barely breathing.

Gray, Blaze, and Ash rushed in.

Gray:"What the hell happened to him?!"

Luxion grabbed Null's shirt, eyes wide with panic.

Luxion:"H-He sent… the Second Angel…"

Everyone froze.

Ash:"Already?!"

Luxion coughed blood, his voice trembling:

Luxion:"I fought him.I never touched him.One punch… almost deleted me."

Null's fists tightened.

Null:"What does he look like?!"

Luxion whispered:

Luxion:"No face.Just… a mask.White.Like Aizeno."

Nemica shivered.

Nemica:"He's making copies of himself."

Luxion shook his head.

Luxion:"No.Worse.He's making what he WANTS to be."

Scene 3 — Assassins From Aizeno: "Erase Nemica First."

Before anyone could react—

SHHHH—!

The lights flickered.

Three silhouettes appeared in the rafters.

Long coats.

Ink knives.

Eyes glowing white.

Aizeno's Erasers.

Their target: Nemica.

Eraser #1:"Order from the White Throne—Erase the girl.Break the vessel."

Null (snaps):"Over my dead body."

The assassins rushed down—

Blaze:"GRAY, ASH, LET'S GO!"

Ash:"Protect Nemica!"

Nemica stood behind Null, her voice trembling but firm.

Nemica:"He's afraid of me… isn't he?"

Null didn't answer.

He didn't need to.

His aura exploded—White, glitching, burning like broken pages catching fire.

Null:"He thinks killing you will break me."

He stepped forward.

Null:"He's wrong."
