What is the best thing to do in Rome? Touring the birthpce of modern civilization? Enjoying Italian cuisines? No, none of that.

  Watching Seria murdering hundreds of gods while enjoying coffee in a store? Yeah, that's fun.

  The strongest human alive is enjoying the sughter. Currently, the entirety of Rome is in lockdown. Because a number of animals— yes, animals, suddenly attacked the people.

  Wild animals, pets, they all viciously assault everyone they see. For some reason, when the animals die, they leak radiation. Avalon is on the move so I'll have to hurry up and solve this mess.

  Oh?

  I raised Marmyadose, blocking cws coming at me. Honestly, it feels rather rexing after being armed to the teeth. I could let those cws touch me, they wouldn't do anything anyway.

  My Domination is based on belief, if I think I am strong enough to shrug it off, no attack can ever harm me.

  "Hello again, Olivia.", I face the Lupa, the Wolf Mother of the fabled twins.

  Should I take this slow to make it more painful? Or be fast? I am on a tight schedule, after all.

  "You should know that I am not lenient with non-humans.", especially when she's in her wolf form.

  A divine wolf at that.

  Hmm, none of the sapphires is glowing. So this should be easy.

  She growls at me, "Even if this cause is fruitless, no mother would stand still when her son's killer is right before her!!"

  Parental love, something I've only experienced a twisted version of.

  Hmm...

  I should at least give her the honor of facing me at my full strength.

  "I am the Anchor of the Present, splitting Time into Past and Future."

  The Rose Compass halo flickered behind my head, my eyes turned silver and the white Rose Compasses appeared in my eyes.

  "Argent Overdrive."

  As my Mind, Body, and Soul connect. The weight of my Soul was brought into reality, pressing down on the Lupa.

  The windows around me shattered, unable to fight against my gravity.

  "Wha‐How?!", she grumbled.

  "Quite the cliché line.", I smile as I squat down, "I am at my full power, right now. This is the weight of Humanity."

  Not really though. But who is going to point that out?

  "Hey, Mom! Get out of here!!", I warned Seria.

  She looked back at me, away from the carnage, giving me a thumbs up before vanishing in blue fme.

  "Come forth, my Argent World of Chalk.", I snapped my finger.

  The world around me fshed bck and white. The ground beneath us turned into chalk, buildings colpsed and rose in an infinite loop, and silver gears began to fill the sky.

  The effects were immediate, and Olivia tried to run away. But I threw Marmyadose at her, perfectly so it would block her way.

  I snapped my finger again, creating a pstic chair and sat on it leisurely. My halo flickered to Magenta.

  "Argent World of Chalk: Everfme Cage.", I snapped my finger.

  Spiked pilrs of Euphoric Crystals rose around me in a kilometer radius.

  I took a step forward, my body wrapped in electricity, finding myself standing in front of the Lupa. I calmly pick up my sword.

  Hmm? I look like a total vilin? Marmyadose, I know you can speak to me and all, but don't use that ability to say nonsense. I am the ruler of the world, I am justice, how can I be evil?

  Marmyadose hummed, I could feel its annoyance.

  Despite being a part of the World, and carrying a piece of Terra's mind, she is a very chill dy. Why dy? Because weapons are referred to as women. Plus Terra looks female enough.

  I deflected a cw attack from the Lupa, while kept on smiling.

  The remaining gods in the back pulled their range weapons.

  Huh, I should end it quick—

  —done.

  Moving at the speed of thought, I had sliced every Roman god open.

  "Like I said, you can't win against me.", I stare back at the Lupa, "But I will give you an honorable death."

  I summon Quirinus to my side.

  "I shall tell you a story."

  My halo switched to Red and Silver. The walls made by Euphoric Crystal began to crumble. At the same time, the blue fme of Malice, the electricity of Ambition, and the crystals of Euphoria began to swirl around the nce.

  "A Tale of the Beginning."

  I slowly raise my nce up, agonizingly slow.

  "Heaven and Earth split, the Void congratutes Infinity."

  The Lupa tried to run away, but her speed was nothing to me.

  "My Lance of Judgement shall Pierce the World."

  Pointing the nce toward the sky, the clouds floated and converged under, as if a tornado was being formed. The energy held within the nce becomes more unstable, so I channel it all to the very tip

  "Mortar of the Souls, Divinity's Hell is the Eve of Humanity!!"

  A glowing white orb of power condensed on the tip, pulsing with power— as if it would burst out at any moment.

  "Enuma Elis!!!"

  Like swinging down an execution sword, I released the elemental power of the ball.

  Everything in front of me was engulfed in a bright light, enhanced by the white chalk of my Inner World, it was truly blinding.

  Ah, I did it again. I ripped open reality.

  Hopefully, nothing comes out—

  And... something came out...

  A poorly made polygon Dragon, it peeked through the Rift I made— then a beam of golden light struck it. Yeah, The Pale Court isn't that nice.

  But still, I think I am treading a dangerous line... my power warps reality, I've attracted the very Lord of Tindalos themselves, after all... well, that was not my fault for making the boss of El Dorado a copy.

  "Now... what is Avalon doing?", I stare at the flock of birds flying around me, observing my moves.

  =0=0=

  Avalon was quietly observing Charlotte. It was clear to them why she was here, to settle old scores in order to...

  They knew this day would come. Even if she knew about the deal with The Pale Court, the upcoming fight would be impossible to avoid.

  The desires for Conquest, the nature etched in the very Souls of the Records.

  People say why some corporations are greedy, wanting to get more and more, overflowing their riches. They are just simply following their instinct as one of the denizens of this accursed power. Those who deny greed and desires are the strange ones.

  "Charlotte."

  "Akasha."

  "What can you do?"

  "Tell us."

  "Kill."

  "Fight."

  "Consume."

  "Conquer."

  "Akasha."

  "Charlotte."

  "Akasha."

  "Charlotte."

  Man and Beast, the oldest conflict ever known to mankind.

  So Avalon kills and kills again, killing themselves on a massive scale. It does not matter how much was lost, or how useful these losses were, a tiny drop of power was still something.

  Droplets gather, slowly filling a ke, that ke becomes an ocean, vast and wide.

  They know Charlotte is getting closer.

  So they filled themselves up, focusing their power on a couple of million bodies on nd, billions in water, and thousands in the sky. And of course, their trump cards.

  Though... it could not be the same for Kalpas.
