Qiao Zhi panted softly and grew tired from battling Nagini continuously. He looked at Nagini and chuckled. He stood up straight and summoned more Risen. "It amazes me on how long you've been at this. You can't possibly still be buying time for a dying hero. The Ruler of Rebirth isn't as generous as she used to be."
"That's fine...but you should realize, I am not doing this just to stall anymore. Even if they make it on time, it wouldn't matter. The Overlords will be revived. I see no future where they will stop the revival unfortunately, but Silent Fox will die." Nagini said then turned away.
"Heh...even if I am not there physically, Fallan can recreate me since she has my DNA. Kill me, remember I am a Risen. I will come back a Risen." Qiao Zhi smirked and chuckled.
Nagini crossed her arms then closed her eyes. "Goodbye, old friend." Nagini said then walked away and her cross unleashed a powerful beam of energy at Qiao Zhi and began to incinerate his body.
Nagini felt a slight ache in her heart, but she knew she must move on for the sake of the world. She opened a portal and returned back to the original dimension.
I was sitting in the pilot area of the Infineon battleship and watched the scenery fly past us as we headed to St. Fraskia to end Judgement Order once and for all.
I grunted and gripped my chest as the Core of Thunder began to corrupt me slowly. "Come on...fight through it..."
Misao looked at me and knew I was going through the same thing she was going through. "Hisumi, I have some medicine that can help you slow down the process of the corruption."
"I don't need it...I promise." I said and exhaled.
"Don't be stubborn, since your corruption is uncared for...the process is a lot faster. You could die by the time we reach St. Fraskia." Misao stood up.
"I've suffered worse...I can fight through this. For everyone here, I'll fight it..." I smiled and leaned forward on my seat.
Saito and Orika looked worried and Saito felt my life force rapidly decreasing.
"Why are you being stubborn? This isn't some Fell Form we are talking about." Yumi said and stood up then walked to the front. "This isn't Fell Energy! This is the power of the Core of Thunder we are speaking on, this is Fallen Aura we are speaking about! We need your power more than anything because if you haven't realized you are the only one who can strike down Silent Fox! We no longer have Yusa nor Orishi right now. Liao Ru isn't strong enough at the moment and Orika is a new Ruler...this falls upon your shoulders and if you die..."
I looked at the floor and wiped my mouth. "I know...if I die, we lost, but I am not going to die. Not yet...I have to see it through. I have to make it before I let her consume my body."
"Let her?" Yumeji asked a bit surprised.
"I thought Raiji's power could counteract the Core's Power, but the only way to make the Overlord and Raiji whole again is to let the Overlord consume me. That way...I will be reborn as a Goddess...and awaken the True Divine Weapon as the Ruler of Iris Electricity." I explained.
"Iris Electricity also known as True Lightning. Raiji and the Overlord's true form is their combined bodies and soul named Fulgur. This must've been the Overlord's plan the entire time...To reunite with Raiji and be whole again inside of you.." Misao said.
"But why risk it? How do you know if it will work?" Yumi asked.
"I don't. Either way, the process will happen. It won't matter if I slow it down or not, I can't stop this sequence." I answered and sat back in my seat and closed my eyes.
Misao nodded and closed her eyes.
"You're just going to allow it?" Yumi asked.
"If she doesn't make it, I'm sure Nagini can find a way to revive her. Nagini transcends logic and holds power no other Ruler can dream of having. She can help Hisumi if she can make it to us on time." Misao said then sat down.
Yumi frowned and closed her eyes. "What are we going to do with the Neko Neko Teatime crew? We can't have them join us in battle."
"We can take care of them." Usagi said.
"Yeah, me and Usagi are useless in this fight." Arei nodded.
"I'll join them." Iori said and closed her eyes. "No matter how strong I get, I'll never reach the power of Hisumi and the others."
"Viper, can you and the others sit this one back? I have a bone to pick with Judgement Order personally." Tengu said.
"Sure." Viper nodded.
"Ambrosia, Erika, Sumi. I want you three to sit this one back as well. You three are now S Ranks and are the first to defend those who are sitting back. Protect them at all costs.." Liao Ru said.
"You can count on us." Ambrosia nodded.
"I also want to stay back...I don't believe I have the strength right now to be of any use." Annie said sadly.
"It's alright, Annie. You'll never be useless to us. Stick closely to your allies and you'll be safe, I promise." I said and opened my eyes.
After we got the front lines and the side lines sorted out, we were nearing St. Fraskia. Satomi stood up and walked to the front of the battleship.
I stood up and watched the doors open and noticed all the Mechas on standby. I walked forward and began to walk on the air. I snapped my fingers and Aermyth appeared beside me and roared.
"Lokia...This is it. Judgement Order...will end by our hands.." I said then looked at my fingernails and my eyes shined purple. "If I happen to die while in combat...just know, I enjoyed my time with you."
I looked at all the mechs and Fell Beasts. Aermyth looked at them as well and roared loudly. I created lightning platforms for my allies so they could exit the battleship.
"It's time.." Silent Fox smirked and awakened all of her Emblems.
Seihachi opened his eyes and glared. "It's time we finally take down the Valkyrias once and for all."
The Fell version of Hikaru looked at Silent Fox and Seihachi then nodded. She looked ahead and put on her mask. "I get a second chance to do what needs to be done."
Silent Fox looked at me in the air and I looked at her then opened multiple portals behind me.
"This is it." We both said.
Infineon flew off at high speeds and went back to safety. St. Fraskia was now the battlefield, the battlefield that will settle it all.
"We will take back St. Fraskia even if it's in a destroyed state. Let's show them the power of us Valkyrias." I said then pointed.
My allies charged forward and gave a war cry.
"Attack!" Silent Fox commanded and her army charged at us.
I began to have memories that weren't mine. These memories belonged to the Overlord of Thunder. "Hail the Queen." I said to myself and smirked.
"She's the Overlord of Thunder now. The Queen of the Ruined Skies. The Other Half of Raiji, but she's also the Ruler of Raijin. The Ruler of the True Lightning and the other half of the Overlord. She's stronger than anything we could create, but she will die a lot easier. All we have to do is destroy that Core." Seihachi said.
"Then do as you wish." Silent Fox said.
I used the lightning platforms to walk down to the ground. A few Mechas rushed at me, but my lightning made them malfunction and explode. One giant mecha flew at me and I closed my eyes and lightning spears impaled the Mecha then caused an explosion.
Aermyth roared and flew around blasting the flying Fell Beasts and Zombies, killing them all. She roared in triumph then flew off.
Orika used her ice powers to freeze majority of the Fell Beasts and impaled then with ice spikes. She looked back and noticed me still walking down to the ground. "She's got to make it through.."
Saito blasted a wave of Fell Creations with a powerful beam of energy and grunted lightly. "I agree, but the data says she won't make it in time..! Misao! You've got to make her take it!"
Misao slashed around at high speeds leaving behind afterimages then lightning struck down on the afterimages and caused them to discharge electricity on the enemies. "There isn't a thing I can do. She won't take it and you heard what she said the two Demigods were planning. They will become whole again and she will gain power unlike any other."
Yae sliced a Fell Dragon in half then her black wings disappeared. "Fulgur is a powerful Goddess, so powerful that she could rival the Original Overlord in power. Maybe this is what we need in case they do resurrect the Overlords."
Tengu landed on Aermyth's back and opened her fan then summoned two tornadoes to strike down the Fell Creations.
Yumi summoned a magic circle and took aim. "I hope you know what you're doing..." She said then released the arrow then thousands of arrows began to bombard Silent Fox's army along with the bullet hell of lightning bolts.
I made it to the ground and I manifested lightning wings then spread them wide open. I summoned my weapons around me. I grabbed the katana then walked forward. My speed clones struck down multiple Fell Creations and I appeared in front of Liao Ru.
Liao Ru nodded then summoned a tiny phoenix beside me. "If you happen to die, this Phoenix will revive you. Now go get them, we will hold them off for as long as you need."
I nodded and continued to walk forward. Elemental Mages appeared in front of me and unleashed magic beams at me and they landed a direct hit on my body then an explosion was the aftermath. I walked out of the smoke and my eyes shined.
"Pathetic." I said then unsheathed my katana then stopped walking. "Now it's my turn to attack."
I vanished and multiple afterimages appeared around the Elemental Mages then I appeared back in my original spot then sheathed my katana then a barrage of slashes struck the mages and they fell to the ground then died.
"Well well...The Overlord and Ruler makes a grand appearance." Kioshi said then walked forward and summoned her axe.
I looked at Kioshi then smirked and closed my eyes. "I don't even need my invisible speed to defeat you. I don't even have to move from this spot.."
"Heh...Feeling cocky aren't we? Well you'll regret mocking me and killing Morata!" Kioshi dashed to me and yelled then jumped up and her eyes widened when she saw my sinister smirk.
She groaned as she was impaled by multiple lightning spears. She coughed blood and looked at me as her vision was becoming blurry.
"So close...yet so far.." I said holding my hand out towards her. "You didn't even have a chance against me. This is your end.."
The spears began to emit red lightning and I snapped my fingers then the spears exploded and killed Kioshi immediately.
"Kioshi is down...in a matter of seconds." Seihachi said.
"I expected nothing less from a Goddess." Silent Fox said then looked at the four medical machines with the four Overlords inside. "Soon, that power would mean nothing. In the meantime, go out there and halt her progress."
"Right." Seihachi said then walked off with Hikaru following behind.
