Adolescent Adae“Zh! Gh! Gaaaaahhhhhhh!!”In FeTUS’s deepest laboratory which was known as the Sanctuary, Metatron Ange, the lightning of God, continued fighting Alice Arc, reatest mindAnge had shattered the tanks in the walls and vaporized the liquid within, but she had not ed to land a lethal blow on Miss ANor had she been able to avoid her opponent’s attacksThe purple lightning ic circle continued to ensnare her and its sparks built up the dae inside her“Kgah…khah…pant, pant”No ed, it stuck with her like a reed it all -like e had to fall to her knees eventually“Finally worn out? A norel would have been incapacitated by the KW in five seconds, but you kept taking it for twenty h”Miss A stood before the girl as the lightning continued to torment herAnge fiercely narrowed her golden eyes, but even theherLike a leaf avoiding a great blaze, the young girl who looked like she would break frole strike moved back as much as her opponent approached and approached as much as her opponent moved backBlack Cat was e, yet not even she would have been able to pull this off With all rational thought gone froreater speed than Black Cat“Foresight?” muttered RaphaAlice grinned as if to say, “So you’ve figured it out?”“Precisely I have always enjoyed chess, so I a people’s actions in advance”She continued attacking Ange all the while“I have borrowed three seconds of this girl’s future”She looked to the rabbit sitting in the center of the room It held a clock with its second hand shi+fted three seconds offRapha was not the only one to gasp at this ability to predict the future Miss C and Miss D did as well“All creatures seem to act based on their oill, but those actions are always taken in accordance to their situation, mental state, and the other internal and external pressures that make up their environ up one’s environment”“If you can calculate out all of those factors, you can calculate out what action your target will take next Miss A can see what Jiyuuni-san will do next”Alice smiled a little“All strategies, all weapons, and all science can be traced back to humans”She lifted her right leg“Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!”Ange swung her sword toward that right leg only after the attack had already been dodgedThe girl was confused when her strike cut through eave a seIt was a witch’s smile“My friend Miss Y constructed this ultient life fornol de Iris!”“Kh…kwaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!”“Jiyuuni Ange You are now my puppet”Afterher blade as she juThe wildly swinging sword could not be dodged even if it could be predicted, so Alice te and moved backExcept…“…Vh!?”“And farewell, red queen”She had predicted where Ange would flee and let her go there A trap had been laid on the ceilingAs soon as Ange set foot there, a giant lowed fro“Checkmate”“Pgyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!”She had suffered so ic circles, but this one was the size of the entire ceilingThe girl was helplessly engulfed by a sea of lightningThe pain was so great that Ange dropped her divine sword and writhed in led around her skin and refused to let goThe fla fro up her body as an angel began to collapse“Ah…ahhh…”

A of her physical body’s annihilation, Ange tried desperately to reach a hand toward Miss A Even on the verge of death, she acted like a wolf trying to tear out her enemy’s windpipeEven her own death could not stop her resentently closed her eyes Having lost a formidable rival, Miss C bit her lower lip with a co so thoroughly, Miss D looked awayBut…“Once” Rapha did not seem concerned “God sent this world a box filled with disaster A woman named Pandora opened that box, but because she quickly closed the lid, mankind was spared the final disaster”He turned froe to Miss AShe was the one he gave the pitying look“That reht Because norant of the disasters the future held and would thus not fall into despair That allowed them to live with hope”“…”“Acquiring that by your own hind is most impressive I admire the resolve it must have taken to throw out that unstable hope in order to advance your own goal”He gave another small smile It was a cold, unemotional smile with no hint of evil to be found“My actual job was to search out any research materials on the Holy Grail and destroy them, but I’d rather not see er I suppose I can have Micha deal with that when she shows up later”He shrugged and shook his head at that major job“Ange”“Vv…”“We’ve lost We have to settle for si this place”He spoke in the kind voice of a big brotherMiss A’s eyes widened, although Miss C and Miss D still did not understand“Vaaaaaaaaaaah!”As the purple lightning clung to and squeezed her body, the girl’s clothing vanishedThat elic heat-resistant material known as a SuitThe nude girl brushed off the purple lightning clinging to her and gently landed on the ceiling That sight caused not Miss A and the other two Witches to pale“Joule heating?”“Not good! She’s gonna blow!”How she had broken through the purple lightning was si had turned to plasthened its electrical resistance and cut off the netic linesThe proble had burnedAn angel’s flaht meant to destroy its enemies That hy it did not harm an ally like Rapha no matter how hot it burned and why it did not burn her own clothingBut noas indiscri around her It had returned to the Joule heating of a normal flame, which meant…“V…vvv… Mom…”The floor, the ceiling, and even Rapha were overwhelrew distorted with rage“I hate you…! I hate mom…! I hate everyone…!”She was just like a crying childThe girl had transforel of heaven’s laws and into a destructive fireballShe had become Metatron“Kh…! Stop her! Stop her this instant!”Black Cat threatened Rapha with her claws against his throat In her haste, the sharp tips sliced a few centimeters into the man’s throatBut the young man’s smile remained even as his throat was cut and blisters covered his skin because he was receiving Ange’s heat without a protective device like the Witches had“That is impossible Once Metatron has activated, it cannot be stopped At this point, we can only wait for the collapse Not even God can stop it”“You’ll die too!”“So what? I had no intention of returning after leading my little sister to her death”He alhted as he narrowed his eyes toward his sister“More importantly, look Metatron uses her own resenth her hatred and release all of her nightmares in the final moment”“Ah…ah…”He did not hesitate to point to the girl even as his fingertip burned“Even after receiving new life as an angel, the suffering of her past life continued to burn her body, but she has finally been released from it”Ange’s physical body returned to a ht and her body vanishedThe hatred left her face and her expression becairl of four“…Mutsuki”“Ah…gh!”As he was continually burnt and regenerated in a battle of endurance, Lucia’s strength finally reached its limitThe unilaterally defeated boy collapsed liround“It’s over then”

Once the opposing force of will had been worn down, Micha produced especially large wings of flame and approached the boyShe brought the tings together in the foriant fist“S-stop!”When he realized she planned to finish him off, Mutsuki lay on top of Lucia’s unconscious form“Out of the way, Mutsuki-kun I need to fry that de him”“No! No… Stop this, Micha-san!”“Don’t make this difficult!”“Wah!”Even if she did not burn hiel She pulled hith and tossed hiroundHe felt pain, frustration, and self-hatred as a liquid other than rainwater dripped from the corners of his eyes“Why?” His low voice tre with Lucia-kun and Ibekusa-san!? Didn’t you say we didn’t have to fight them!? Was that a lie!?”“…”Micha ignored him and focused on Lucia“How can you hurt Lucia-kun!? How can you fight Ibekusa-san and the others!?”She raised her flame hammer“How could you not stop Ange when you knew!?”“————!”She stopped before co the actionUnable to relared back at Mutsuki“Not stop her?”“Eh?”“I wanted to do so, you know!?”This was his second ti that look on her face“The only way to stop Metatron was to have Ange throw out her resenth to convince her after that awful death That’s why I brought her as your…as Adauard”It was the resentful look of a loving older sister who had lost her little sister“I thought she e her ht change if she ht she could be forcibly changed with the Serpent’s Eye’s power to rule over all women”Mutsuki’s eyes widenedCould he have saved Ange if he had used that power inside him?“…”Micha must have realized she had said too much because she sed any further words and returned her focus to LuciaDumbfounded, Mutsuki watched the scene in a dazeAnd he recalled that he had the Serpent’s EyeHe recalled that he had the power to rule over half the world“Eh…?”

The angel once said to be the strongest of them all – commonly known as Michael – felt confusion for the first ti while She had encountered a pheno historyShe had struck Lucia with her full-power flahtest Even if he could regenerate, he should have run out of the strength needed to do so Plus, that was only after he had been turned to ash It was impossible for her to not even scorch him as she was nowAngels had an absolute advantage over demons, so there siht of her flames“Stop, Micha-san”Those words told her the answer“Lucia-kun isn’t an enemy”“It can’t be…”She looked back and her eyes met those of Mutsuki who had stood upHe stared straight at her with his usual clear and adorable left eyeAnd with his darkened left eye“You reh my power…and did it on your own?”

While the Serpent’s Eye was Mutsuki’s, he had never used its power on his ownAs a mere human, he should not have been able to control the ultimate power that was the Serpent’s Eye“Looks like the battle’s over♪”Lucia opened his eyes while a pillar of fire pressed down on hiMicha was confused, but her veteran instincts quickly caught onThe deate her flamesIt was Mutsuki The Adam boy had told her he was not an enemy, so the holy fire of her body could not view the demon as an enemy That hy the flames would not reach himShe was Michael, the el, yet as a woman, she was already ruled by the Serpent’s EyeAnd at the saot up“Ha ha❤ My fe all excited It takes a lot of work to do it onsex due to an outside force is a weird feeling”A change came over his bodyHis white skin becaained a bit rew curvierHe now had a girl’s boy“But this is a This is a female body…it’sup without end Ha ha ha I’ here❤”Micha gasped again when she saw Lucia’s genderbent form“Don’t tell me…”But before she could say anything, the boy’s…no, the girl’s fist sank into her belly The single attack knocked Micha out and she collapsed on the spot“Lucia-kun, are you okay?”Mutsuki ran over and Lucia tried to greet him with a smile, but…“Wah! W-wait Don’t look at ive out”Lucia’s knees nearly collapsed“Oh, sorry Um, wait just a second”

Mutsuki quickly blinked his eyeHe did not know exactly how to close the Serpent’s Eye that had opened on its own, but when he willed it to “Close!” it returned to being his norht eyeAt the sa white and a slight change caained his boy’s bodyMutsuki was curious about that girl’s body he had seen before, but he turned toward the school since he had so else to do firstNo one stood in his way any longer, so he gave a large nod and the two of the hand-in-hand“Wait Hold on”Mutsuki came to a stopHe turned back toward Micha’s collapsed form She had taken a blow to the storoan from herHe hesitated a moment, but then picked up the umbrella that had fallen nearby“Please head back home”He handed it to her“I’ll be back with Ange”“…”Micha said nothing, but he turned his back on her and ran off with Lucia“Wait for e!”“——”“What is it?”Machina felt like she had awoken from a dream Her mind floated up from the mud(Fujita-kun’s voice)She thought she had heard a voice si by vibrating her eardrumsThat voice lessened the excessive endorphins pumped into her brain by the demon’s bodily fluidsShe had been in a state of ecstasy asm, but it faded awayThe de from that ecstasy, so she had already been ehts rapidly cooledThe voice that reater value than the pleasure that had surpassed hueShe was happier to have heard his voice(He said to wait for him)Then she had to wait“!? W-wait! I won’t let you go anywhere”“I have to Fujita-kun is co”After returning to her senses, the girl tried to get up from the black fleshy mass she had sunk intoHer movements were restricted by the tentacles wrapped around her, so she had to remove them firstShe created a gold circle in her palm and pasted the ether vibration she had copied

Immediately…“Hee!? Th-that’s Master Lilith’s-…”The lower demon known as an Incubus had no choice but to obey the instructions to release the girl’s restraintsThis was Mutsuki’s wavelength that had so easily removed the Succubus earlier She had created the exact saht to have interfered with Lucia’s chakraIt was a power unknown to mankind, but it had not been difficult to siht an upper demon in line, so a lower demon did not stand a chance“Nn…”Machina’s body treina, and womb“Wh-why? Why do you have her-…?”She also pulled out the tentacles attached to her eardrums that created the vibrations of that confused voice They tickled as they left her ears“Gbh…gzh…curse you…no fe my slave…!”The deradually ic circle modeled on the Adam boy and it could not attack Machina“It was indeed a dreadful power”The girl gently wiped her urt-like extract stuck to it smelled so tasty she briefly hesitated to throw it awayThat delectable de it If it had continued flowing into her storaspThe de her wombThat had brought cal-addled brain It had let her hear Mutsuki’s voice and fight back in her moment of clarityThe deh the womb and that was trueBut a lower demon had lacked the power needed to steal a womb already tamed by Fujita Mutsuki“Goodbye”Hu demons, but FeTUS had plenty of ways to eli more than creatures with superior evolution“Gah!”A ball of light appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the demonIts body was immediately and entirely vaporizedNocreature could survive being trapped in a sphere with a central terees A new crater appeared next to the one Ange had made and not a drop of the black liquid remainedMachina sighed quietly after confir that“She escaped the Incubus!?”“Impossible She’s just a human…”She had forgotten about the three angels, so she looked up when she heard their voices“Ibekusa-san!”As he flew through the sky in Lucia’s arms, Mutsuki was dumbfounded by the view of the school with the usual clock towerStill, he saw Machina wrapping golden threads around the three angels he had seen before, so he knew this had to be where Ange and Rapha had gone“FeTUS HQ is below the school… Ange is here, right?”“Positive”There was a bottomless hole in the floor where the tower had beenThe edges of the hole were e was the only angel he kneho could provide that kind of heatHe was about to turn to Lucia and say they had to head down there, but…“…Ibekusa-san, did so happen?”He noticed Machina was acting oddHer unfa, but she also had flushed cheeks and damp eyes Almost as if…“It’s nothing”The girl gave a quick reply and looked the other way“…”The boy more or less understood what he had to do“Ah…”He embraced her oddly warm body in the rainShe seemed a little surprised, but no words were necessaryLucia pouted his lips in displeasure as he watched Mutsuki’s powerful embraceMachina finally relaxed her body and entrusted all of herself to him“Fully deploy heat-resistant fibers…negative Physical interference in phase space impossible”“Expanding 36 layers of KW…no effect”Ange had becoeht that burned away all that approachedThe top and bottolass of the surrounding water tanks wasand the formaldehyde vaporized in less than ten secondsThe angel named Rapha had already passed out and collapsed onto the floor That only left the three Witches equipped with heat-resistant circuits and the rabbit decorationThey had brought out all of their anti-angel equipment to protect their headquarters, but it had been ineffective and the equipment itself soon melted“This is a problem”Miss A sat on the large clock she loved so much The cup she had set down there earlier had already burned into white sand“What do we do? What are we supposed to do!? Miss A, can’t you do so!?”

Schwarze shouted at her because her heat-resistant circuits could no longer fight the heat Even breathing had grown difficult and just speaking left her out of breath“Hm,” said Miss Alice “Where is the data on our Holy Grail research?”She turned toward sweaty Miss D for that question“I-it is being transferred to the headquarters in another country But I believe only about half has been sent so far”“I see That isn’t good If this place is lost, it will set our research back by ten years”“How can you be so cal about her! If this fire is directed outward, this country will only have Hokkaido and Okinawa left!”Black Cat raised her voice and Miss Arc’s lips loosened a little“You’re so kind, Miss C You alere You’ll get as cruel as can be for your duty, but you always did hate har unrelated people”She stood up and waved both handsGolden threads shot froertips They intertwined into thick threads and wrapped around the boe had become“An angel’s flame is matter, not plasma When it explodes, it should take 1/1000 of a second to convert the holy fla fiber is directed vertically when that happens, the acceleration of energy ht be directed up into the sky as a capillary action”“So the heat would escape into space?”“If it goes well, the residual heat would only vaporize this hill or this city”“B-but then…”By applying a trick at the instant of detonation, they could e, but the person who applied the trick would have to be there at the instant of detonation“It has to be ht 1/1000 of a second is to use the Grand Guignol system”“But, Miss A! Then you’ll-…!”Their heat-resistant circuits were useless already, so a human Witch would be instantly turned to ash once Metatron explodedBut the girl insisted“I will si some old friends”The smile on her innocent face seemed to say she did not mind“Heh heh But Miss Y won’t be too happy to see me if I don’t have any chocolate for her as a souvenir”It was an aged and horribly tired s faceShe al forward to the afterlife“You two escape If you’re lucky, you can survive”“But…”“Once you get outside, leave this hill as quickly as possible I expect the angels will have evacuated him, but make sure to protect the Ada we must overcome rest on that boy’s shoulders”Miss C wrinkled her brow and looked like she had soave them both kind, motherly instructions“And…Miss E”She was kindly yet coolly looking to the future as she gave these instructions“You can give up on the data if you et Machina out of here”“…”“As long as we have the Adam boy and Machina, we have the bare minimum needed to continuethe plan”“…Understood”“Go”As Ange’s light gradually grew, Alice spread her armentThe other two Witches were polar oppositesMiss D’s expression froze over like a noh mask and she started to leave the room as instructedConversely, Miss C stayed put She wrinkled her brow and looked on the verge of tears as she refused to take her eyes off of Miss A“You go too, Miss C It’s dangerous here”“But…but…”“Schwarze Do not trouble me here”Hoas she to convince this reluctant kitten to leave her mother in such a short time? Alice truly was troubledShe decided to have loyal Miss D carry Miss C out, so she looked over to stop the maidAnd then her expression froze in surprise for the first time that day“Wow, look at all that light… I-is that Ange!?”“daht So this is Metatron… Hot, hot, hot!”“Stay back The heat is being bent with a spatial fissure, but photons this powerful are enough to burn away a normal human on their own”Machina, a demon, and the Adam boy who should never have been here rushed into the roomMiss D, Miss C, and even Miss A were dumbfoundedThat boy was the core of FeTUS’s plan andhappened to him, but he had rushed up to a bomb that was about to detonateThe boy did not seeht“Ange! Can you hear ht!?”He yelledMachina’s heat-erasingfor now, but the rooh to boil all the elic power, so he was suffering just being in the roomEven so, Mutsuki approached the source of the heat“N-not good! Miss C! Miss D! Send all your KWs to the boy!”The loss of the Adareater threat than the destruction of 80 of the country Miss A abandoned her heat distorting fibers and sent a new circle Mutsuki’s wayThe four ht ahead of himThat slight path led to a huht“Ange…”The fairl stood there with her eyes closed and the peaceful look of a baby on her face, as if she had forgotten everything“Wake up…Ange Let’s head home”Mutsuki reached out his hand“Ahhhh!”But even with the er sizzled and burned blackNext, the burns spread across both arri his hand in a fire“Oh, honestly~!”Lucia was having trouble just being here, but he supported Mutsuki by placing his hands on the boy’s back and sending his cells into himThe deenerate with new cells“Kh…gh…Wake up, Ange C’e…”He could regenerate without end thanks to Lucia’s power, but the wounds burned as soon as they healedHe clenched his teeth at the infinite pain of his skin repeatedly healing and burning and he took one step and then another toward the girlHe placed his hand on her peacefully sleeping cheek“You brought Fujita here…? What are you thinking, Miss E!?”

As she watched the boy’s hand burning, Schwarze shouted angrily at Machina for foolishly guiding the Adam boy to the bombMachina replied as calmly as ever“We no Metatron is a living creature…nae In that case, I deterested: convincing her to stop”“Are you saying he’ll use the power of Adairl?”“That is a very poor bet, Miss E She is closer to being fire itself than a girl…no, than a living creature Will Adah to her?”Even Miss A grimacedBut Machina…“Not a problem”“Ange”He nearly passed out fro hands, but Mutsuki’s tone of voice reentle“I’ you to like people, I don’t knohat happened to you in the past, and you can hate me if you want”“…”“But don’t do it this way Don’t sacrifice yourself”The light only grew stronger“No matter how much you hate us…”It was too great for the Witches to restrain and it enveloped the boy“I still love you, Ange”Mutsuki and Ange vanished within the great lightMachina watched it all with a complicated look on her face“This is not a problem”The light grew even further, and finally…“Jiyuuni Ange has…”It filled the entire room“…been a girl when it comes to Fujita-kun for quite some time”“Pwaaah~”Lucia, the one who had actually put in the most effort, fell onto his buttThe four Witches also lowered their arms Miss C and Miss D’s eyes ith shock and Miss A’s cheeks loosened into a bitter smileMachina still had a complicated and somewhat displeased lookThen the light concentrated back on the center of the roo appeared within it“…”“………………”Mutsuki held the alirlAfter rubbing his cheek against hers a few times, he pulled his face backAnge maintained the innocent look of a four year old for a while, but she finally put on the usual lopsided frown“Welcoe”“I’ry”
