To Reilin, there are unique existences that even he, a Giant of Light, cannot handle.
The World Border once told him, there are those adored by Voidborns. Even if they don't know it— it is better that they don't know at all. That Harbinger of Life pyfully refers to that as 'Plot Armor'.
In front of him, there is such one being. Charlotte Silvi, the Akasha— the anti-body of Earth, who was given the authority to break Reality by the Ego of Earth. For such a viotion, she was oddly safe.
That girl's fighting style was simple, she summons tornados with her nce and sliced everything that got close to her. Like a dancer on the sword, you cannot help but be drawn in by her.
Though he could see it... the Grand Array may not be able to because of the limitations of this world. He sees bck shapes, shapes looking after her from behind.
He punched a burning wheel out of the sky, Reilin turned his attention to the sky. He knows he could knock the Angel up there out, but he would rather use this opportunity to observe more.
"Decration of Annihition.", Charlotte pulled out Gatine, and pointed it forward, "Nihility Incineration."
A beam of white light bsts forward, surging through the Angels like a tide of destruction— it hits the edge of the barrier, flooding the backline with sparks that annihite with just a mere touch.
Reilin looked at her halo, which was glowing Red and Silver. That was just for decoration.
He realized she was still hiding things.
BOOM!!!
A Hammer of God hit the ceiling, causing an explosion that made the barrier waver.
These Angels, they are the citizens under the light of The Enigma Code. Reilin feels bad taking them down— as they are just people obeying their God.
But like him, they are unwelcomed guests to this world. If the Ego of the World was still awake, they would kill them in an instant.
Her sword, as sharp as ever, sliced through a warrior like paper. Then she stabbed another, sending a piercing bst taking down all those behind.
But the battle suddenly changed.
Crimson birds made of fme, fluttering their wings as embers fall and ignite in a sea of red fme.
The Jury of the Pale Court, Olga of Kiyv, the Avenger Saint of Fire, had joined in. She stood tall on top of a pile of rubble from far away.
"I cannot stay still and look at my own city being consumed by invaders.", the Jury stated, a fan hiding her lips unfolded, "So I would rather burn everything down by my own hands."
And so, a section of Kiyv was consumed in fme by one of its former rulers. Charlotte stopped her assault and smiled.
"Better finish this quickly.", she stabbed her sword and nce into the ground.
Her halo switched to Azure and Silver. Fshes of electricity flow through the fkes of chalk hanging in the air.
"Open, Gate of Akasha.", something simir to a bck hole opened up in the sky, "Come forth, the Barrel pointed at God: Fallen Starlight."
A marble rifle appears in her hands, crackling with electricity while giving out a faint blue glow...
"One more time. Open, Gate of Akasha...", she raised the rifle toward the sky, "The Grand Treasure beyond Love and Hatred: Curse of Monte Cristo."
Golden coins fell from the sky through the portal. At that moment, all Angels felt discomfort. There was something coming.
"All Calcution Complete.", she spoke in a calm and emotionless tone, her serene voice echoing throughout the battlefield— no, she had already turned this pce into her own stage.
"I Pray for your Destruction— O' Children of Air and Ether."
Time seemed to stand still with the Argent Monarch standing in the middle of all. Her ethereal gaze, dispying the purity of her very soul, cast down Judgement upon all.
"This is the Wish of Humanity."
She pulled the trigger.
"Fallen Starlight."
Eight beams of light silently exit the rifle. Hitting the coins as they ascend into the sky— in turn, the coins bounce against each other, sending them all into a chaotic frenzy like a bullet hell.
There was no friend on the battlefield, only the screams of Angels pierced by cursed coins. Sun Wukong just chuckled, seeing the coins bouncing off of him harmlessly, while Reilin was dodging.
It reminds him of the time he got into conflict with a Grand Array, the endless bombardment, millions of zers, and warheads flying at him from all directions. He nearly died from fighting that warship the size of two Earths, and that was a Scout (same job as Utopia).
It was fortunate that The Pgue Garden was visiting that pnet and killed the Grand Array in 6 seconds. They even held a funeral for that Herald of The Machine Overlord.
Once again, Reilin chuckled at the irony that is The Machine Overlord. Someone else cares about the Grand Array more than their own creator.
With one shot, Charlotte had killed all the Angels. She stared up at the sky— another Hammer of God was dropped— the beams of light converged heading toward that Angel.
BOOM!!!
Both attacks hit at the same time, obliterating the Angel.
Charlotte wore a satisfied smile, stretching herself as she threw Fallen Starlight and the coins back into the Gate of Akasha.
But the fight was not over yet.
A woman with short vibrant blue hair, as if they were fire dancing fiercely. Wearing a white priestess robe, they walk leisurely as if nothing happened, with Angel corpses vanishing around them.
Their golden gaze snapped onto Charlotte. Except for Sun Wukong, everyone knew who this was.
Lughz Dustur the Enigma Code— the most dangerous being to mortals in the universe.
"This is a rather genius defense mechanism.", they stated, "To take out a fraction of my Children just under an hour, so much power was poured into a singur being."
Charlotte sensed something was amidst. She knows The Enigma Code was targeting in order to bance the Scale.
"My Children cannot possibly kill you even if I brought all of my Angels. So I have made something for you... Charlotte Silvi."
Then, everyone in the area felt dread washed over them. Something was coming.
Then a hollow scream echoes, shaking the very ground they stood on.
Charlotte felt it, the feeling and dread of facing something powerful... and familiar.
She quickly grabbed Marmyadose—
CLANG!!!
Charlotte was knocked back, nding beside Wukong. From her expression, she was furious.
"I THOUGHT I GOT RID OF YOU!!"
A monster with pale purplish skin cracking and regenerating at the same time, golden cwed gauntlets and greaves covered its limbs, disproportionate to its feminine body. It possessed pale purple Angel wings, a hallmark of Equilibrium. And its head— it was caged, yet its muffled screams can still be heard.
Charlotte knows it instinctually.
"WHY IS THE FRAGMENT OF THE UNIVERSE HERE?!"
The Enigma Code stepped up, calm as ever, "Let me introduce you to your end— for the Equilibrium of Earth— To'eva."
Just as it was about to unch another attack— music filled the area— a truck crashed into it.
The truck signaled with its lights.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!?!", Charlotte screamed again. She recognized the truck was The Stelr Gateway— the Eldritch God she encountered in Kyoto.
Then the door kicked open. Exiting was a woman with long golden hair, wearing a brown steampunk business suit, a corset that pushed her chest up, a tophat firmly on her head. Her eyes are golden with crimson X marks over them. And she always wears a business-perfect smile.
"Salutation to all of you~", she waved at everyone, "This is the owner of the Golden Factory, the number one production line for all Eldritch needs, and the Golden Emporium, where you can find anything you need!"
That Eldritch God performed a bow to all present, and the air began to burn hot— hotter than fire.
"I am the One Closest to the Original One - Qaeidat Dhahabia the Golden Order.", her eyes gleamed, staring at The Enigma Code, "And my dear friend, you had intruded upon my domain. So I must correct your amateurish work."
She gnced back at Charlotte with a smile, a portal opened up above her hand— dropping down a rainbow crystal— one Charlotte recognized as The Crawling Chaos' Core.
"Your talent in Alchemy is above average, not that bad for a mortal.", she turned back toward the Fragment of the Universe, "Let me show you how an Eldritch God of Exchange does business."
The Golden Order raised the Core—
"I offer to the Universal Matrix— Let the Exchange Begin."
