Chat group: My Fist of the North Star will never lose!

Chapter 532 Compione: Godslayers
A meeting was convened today at someone's suggestion.

"Hibiki, what happened...?"

Kohinata Mirai looked at her friend with concern. Ever since Hibiki returned covered in injuries from that "outpost mission," she seemed like a completely different person...

This situation seems to have occurred before, but this time even Kazanari and Chris felt the same way, though they remained silent and said nothing.

But she will soon realize that her best friend is fighting to reclaim another kind of "future".

All eyes were on Tachibana Hibiki, who had gathered everyone today and displayed an attitude that was completely different from usual, creating a distinct atmosphere.

Her expression was serious, no, it was serious to the point of being terrifying, radiating a powerful aura that would make anyone tremble just by getting close to her.

"Then let's get started."

Hibiki Tachibana glanced at the group of people with varying expressions, and finally nodded to Ryoko Sakurai across from her.

Sakurai Ryoko took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and untied her tied hair and took off her glasses, which seemed to have a blue light filter function.

"My real name is Finni... I am a witch who lived in an ancient civilization."

After she finished speaking, her hair gradually turned milky white, and the color of her pupils also changed. Sakurai Ryoko's appearance completely disappeared, and she became a different person.

When Kazanari Genjuro saw her, he couldn't hide his surprise. His eyes widened. Was Sakurai Ryoko a fake all along?

No one could understand the situation, and why she would reveal her identity at this time? What was the point?
"What is your purpose in telling us this?"

Hibiki Tachibana stretched out her arm to stop the questioning, then let Finney, who had just finished his self-destruction, sit down and look to the other side.

"We're digging up heroes!"

The noisy shouts came from there. A white-haired man in a white lab coat pushed up his glasses with his middle finger and spoke in an extremely annoying and arrogant tone, exuding the aura of a mad scientist.

Dr. Will.

Biochemical researchers from the U.S. Federal Relics Research Agency. A biochemical expert and the principal leader in the development of the modified Linker and Anti-Linker.

"I'm sorry, Professor Will is easily agitated."

The elderly woman with one eye and purple hair, sitting in a wheelchair, apologized to the others. At the same time, two small battle maidens came out from the left and right sides and forcibly pressed the man in the white coat and glasses into a seat.

—Naztasha, formerly a heretical technical authority at FIS, later led her three war maidens to join the Second Department.

"Next is..."

Before the words were finished, a witch appeared from nowhere?
In everyone's eyes, she was a little girl with long golden hair braided into three braids and a beauty mark under her right eye.

She wore a large hat like a witch's, and a magnificent robe that couldn't be removed unless in a specific order.
"I am Carol Marsdionheim, the alchemist based in Tifori, the one who destroys the world and kills miracles."

Her youthful yet cold and beautiful face, and her majestic gaze made people afraid to meet her eyes, as if she were not a delicate girl, but a noble being who had been sitting on the throne for many years.

"...Hello everyone, nice to meet you. My name is Elfnein (ELF9)...I am a homunculus."

Behind Carol, besides the four autonomous dolls with the attributes of earth, fire, water, and wind, was a curly-haired blonde girl with the same appearance as her. She wore a black hooded cloak, and underneath the cloak, she wore revealing clothing that was almost half-naked.

"Wait, what's this again..."

Carol, accompanied by her entourage, walked straight to the empty seats and sat down. Before the crowd's surprise and confusion had subsided, the conference room door opened again, and three figures appeared one after another.

"Nice to meet you. Although we should have contacted each other beforehand, let me introduce myself again... I am Saint-Germain, a member of the Bavarian Light Society."

"Same as above, I am Cagliostro."

"I am Prierate."

After Adam, the leader of the Bavarian Illuminati, was killed on the spot by a united group, the entire society fell apart.

Among the remaining forces, the three strongest are high-ranking officials who have been secretly active behind the scenes in history, representing another pinnacle of alchemy today.

But why have they, who should have remained hidden and waited for their opportunity, appeared and gathered here?

One after another, ancient priestesses possessed vast knowledge about sacred artifacts more than anyone else, scholars with more biotechnology knowledge than anyone else, and sorcerers with stronger alchemical skills than anyone else…

Each of them is an extremely evil villain capable of ruling and destroying the world. Gathered together here, they form a powerful force capable of destroying a country in an instant.

The Second Department was more crowded than ever before, and the students of Lydian Academy probably never imagined that so much enormous power and ambition, capable of sinking the whole of Japan, was hidden underground.

Kohinata Mirai timidly looked at the figures sitting at the conference table behind Hibiki, having never seen such a scene before.

The mere eye contact between these guys, exchanging glances, released a subtle yet overwhelming aura that felt like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe and leaving her speechless.

—What is the reason for this gathering?

"I need something far stronger than the current Symphogear, far stronger than the Sword Draw Mode, strong enough to stand against the power of a god!"

Without any hesitation, ignoring any objections, and with unwavering conviction, her words resonated powerfully—this was the language of Tachibana Hibiki.

--god.

This is the reason.

This is no longer a national-level issue.

It's not a matter of protecting humans.

It's a question of the scale of the universe.

Although the Anunnaki are not the creators of humanity, but rather beings who seek to defeat otherworldly gods, have all the villains and antagonists gathered together, who yearn to become gods, kill gods, and challenge gods?

Looking at these adversaries she had fought in the past, as well as acquaintances and old friends she had clashed with in the modern era, Finney could never have imagined that she would be sharing a room with them.

Everyone here has their own goals and ideas, making them irreconcilable enemies. The atmosphere is tense, and it wouldn't be surprising if they were to fight to the death the moment they met.

However, because of Hibiki Tachibana, they all gathered here, encountered her in various events, and witnessed her tremendous transformation...

"...You! Lend me all your power! Even evil power, terrifying power, ominous power, cursed power, it doesn't matter at all!...I will use it all! All of it!"

Her fierce expression exuded an overwhelming aura, making people feel that no matter what they did, they could not win; she was full of fighting spirit that was about to explode.

Be prepared that when people with irresponsible opinions face each other, conflict is inevitable, and each will insist on their own ideas until both sides can accept the outcome. And at this moment, even if one is mentally prepared, Phineas, Dr. Will, Naztasha, Carol, Elfnein, Saint-Germain, Cagliostro, Prierate…

Everyone felt that incomparable, almost tangible thought, as if the weight of the entire world was pressing down on them. It was a kind of obsession that even villains and evildoers who wreak havoc on the world couldn't help but feel awe for.

"Perhaps only someone like this can defeat the supreme god?"

This thought arose in my mind.

To regard "God" as an enemy is utter arrogance.

…Completely enlightened, free from confusion and doubt, falling down and getting up again, falling down again and getting up again, until death, a challenger with immense courage—that is how everyone described that girl.

So the ambitious men, consumed by her immense ambition and awareness, exchanged glances and decided to witness her fight to the very end.

Since she craves power, then let's give her the power!
"My Linker is the best in the world!"

The first person to speak, smug and self-satisfied, was Dr. Will.

LiNKER – A control drug used by Symphogear users to enhance the compatibility between the user and Symphogear. It is a necessary drug for second-class users when engaging in high-intensity combat while wearing Symphogear.

"I want to use it!"

The drug that forces those who are not suited to adapt to the relics can naturally increase Symphogear's output. Although he looks like a freak, Dr. Will's talent is truly genuine.

"As long as we can provide enough life force, we can create the Philosopher's Stone and then activate the Faust Robe, whose power rivals any Symphogear! Use human bodies to obtain divine power, Hibiki Tachibana..."

There are such people among alchemists—Saint-Germain has always been dedicated to resisting the ruler and breaking the curse of Baral on humanity, but unlike Finnis, Saint-Germain is determined to use the power of the gods to break the curse of the gods.

"Just install it!"

The three alchemists who transformed their bodies into perfect beings and achieved immortality are arguably the ones who hate gods the most. When faced with beings who bear the name of "gods," they unleash their strongest power.

"My alchemy can both dismantle the world and reclaim it!"

The blonde girl, dressed like a magician, narrowed her cold eyes, which seemed incongruous with her youthful appearance, and declared confidently.

...The foundation of alchemy is understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction. Everything begins with analyzing and understanding all the information about the object, thoroughly analyzing down to the smallest details, and constructing a system as secure as possible...

However, if used in the opposite way, although it will be more dangerous than ever before, it will also have more power than ever before.

"Okay, give them all to me!"

Hibiki Tachibana faced her directly, sitting like a fierce tiger, exuding an imposing aura. From any angle, she now had the right to—the right to even make Carol willingly help her.

"The demon sword's capabilities... have not yet been fully unleashed..."

Elfnein, who had previously added the Ignite module to the armorers using the "Legacy of the Dwarves" magic sword Dáinsleif, cautiously extended a finger, adding in a low voice.

Although she appears timid, she possesses most of Carol's knowledge, making her quite competitive.

"Bring it on!"

Once defeated by the power of the curse, one's spirit will be broken and one will be unable to fight, but she believes that the current Tachibana Hibiki possesses overwhelming spiritual power.

"Symphogear is nothing more than a toy made using a portion of my technology. With enough time, effort, and the essence of my technology, I can create even more ferocious weapons..."

Finney revealed an arrogant smile, crossed her arms and glanced at the others. She was the strongest villainous BOSS here, how could she let others steal the spotlight?

"Please, Miss Ryoko!"

Alchemists with extensive knowledge of heretical techniques, scholars and professors with the deepest understanding of modern science, and Finney, who possesses knowledge of relics, especially those related to holy artifacts…

There is no more powerful combination in the world.

Currently, the second department, in addition to the two War Maidens from the parallel world and the seven War Maidens from the main world, also includes the complete Sacred Relics "Durandal", "Bronze Serpent Armor" and "Scepter of Solomon".

The holy sword "Durandal" possesses inexhaustible energy, the "Bronze Serpent Armor" has regenerative power, and the "Scepter of Solomon" can release noise that carbonizes the entire world...

— Hibiki Tachibana's potential is far from being fully realized.

Symphogear has 301655722 built-in restriction locks, matching the number of angels.

Symphogear ensures that it can effectively adapt to the wearer in terms of technology and style, and systematically and phasedly address any issues based on the actual situation…

Relics, Linkers, Philosopher's Stone, Faust's Robe, Demon Sword...

She had never been forced into such a desperate situation before, so even she herself didn't know that she had such great potential for improvement and becoming stronger.

How can we say we're helpless when we haven't exhausted all our strength with our companions, partners, friends, or even enemies and rivals?

"Fight, and then win... For that, we have to do everything we can think of. It's not a miracle that falls from the sky, but something we have to take control of ourselves."

Like a raging fire, a volcano about to erupt, its terrifying power even forces the darkness to submit…

What are you trying to grab with those hands raised high?

️

Yuna Yuuki doesn't have that many ways to become stronger.

Having lost the energy provided by the Divine Tree, she could no longer even transform or summon spirits. Although she and the girls of the Hero Club had mustered their fighting spirit, they were at a dead end.

They have lost their weapons to fight the gods, and they have lost the power of the earth god. Even if they wanted to return to their own world and fight the gods, they would not be qualified. In their current state, they would be stopped by others before they could return.

Please tell me—

Yuuki Yuna stared at the sage of the demons, her fists clenched tightly.

"A way to kill a god!"

Yukari Yakumo sighed and began to explain her final, deadly technique, a secret art that should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

"Only another god can rival God... Let's go find the true [Great God of Cuteness]—"
