Chapter 645: The Clown Who Deceives the World (1/2)

In just a few minutes of time, Alice's friends who were revived by Αναμνήσεις were overwhelming the Gods.

Chronois is being cornered by the cooperation of Iris and Noel. Life regenerated herself over and over again while being attacked by Adele, who reached an amount of firepower thanks to Leon, stalling time for her.

Even so, there was still power in their eyes. After five minutes, which seemed too short for some while extremely long for others, Alice's comrades seemed to have realized something and retreated, lining up behind Alice.

[……Preparations…… Complete.]

[Preparations? What the heck are you planning now…….]

Hearing Chronois ask this with a dubious expression on her face, Alice only deeply smiled at her before she gently smiled at those who had been temporarily revived by Αναμνήσεις.

[Everyone, thank you very much. It was great to see you again.]

[Unnn. I'm glad I could help you, Big Sister. Do your best, okay?]

[Yes, Master. If you need our help, please don't hesitate to call us again. My blazing loyalty will always be with you.]

[Now that I think about it, it was a spectacular move to take our bodies into the Ἑκατόγχειρες. It was only because the residue of our souls was still inside the Ἑκατόγχειρες that we were able to help here with our memories from before we died…… Well, that aside, I hope that the next time I'll be able to relax when you call me next time, not just in a fight.]

Very happy to hear Alice's words, Noel, Adele and Leon…… Alice's comrades replied before disappearing.

After witnessing their disappearance, Iris also returned to Alice's body, while Alice faced the Gods once again.

[……I know about it, you know? That defeating the Gods here will not ”unlock this space”…… Aren't I right?]

[ [ ! ? ] ]

Yes, this space isn't only a battlefield created by Shallow Vernal, but also a prison. Even if the Gods were defeated, they wouldn't be released from this space.

Because they were thinking that there was no way for the Human-Demon Allied Forces from this space…… the power did not disappear from their eyes, even when the Gods were pushed to the corner.

If one were to describe it, it would be the Gods' final Joker…… but Alice had seen through that.

[……E- Even if you know it, that doesn't mean you can do anything about it! This space was created by Shallow Vernal-sama herself! In other words, this space itself is a world! Destroying this space is……]

[Impossible for me, is it? It's possible for me though.]

[W- What do you mean……]

[I told you, didn't I? This would be a checkmate…… My Ἑκατόγχειρες has a certain restriction. It doesn't matter how many bonds I weaved, ”I can't use the power of someone who's far stronger than me”…… Now then, what did I say again? ”I've met all of the requirements now”…… is what I said!]

[ ! ? Ah…… Ahhhh…… That is…… impossible…… This magic power is……]

As soon as Alice held her hand over the shining sphere…… the space was enveloped in darkness, and golden eyes emerged from within a jet-black being. Chronois, Life, and even the rest of the Gods knew about this magic power.

In the battle between the Demon Realm and the God Realm 20,000 years ago…… It was the magic power of the monster that once punched Shallow Vernal away.

”You still haven't forgotten about it, right…… Kuro-san's power?”

Yes, everything is just a stepping stone for this. She used Ἑκατόγχειρες's Ultimate Battle Form in order to grow to a state where she could use Kuromueina's power…… The time following that was a period of adjustment for her to gain control over Kuromueina's immense power.

And now, everything is ready. The being of darkness turned into a fist…… and shattered the space.

In front of the Human-Demon Allied Forces that had begun escaping towards the broken space, the Gods slumped down on the ground.

[……What are you doing now? You still want to continue?]
