Meredith is still alive. I failed to kill her just now. So, before continuing the fight, I should kill two or three of her closest people to make her waver. If that creates a gap in her, I'll be able to finish her off effortlessly.
"No matter what, I have no reason to keep you alive."
Whatever you want to do is fine. In that case, it would be nice to just eliminate some of those who rebel against the Lord.
Just for such a random reason, a silver light began to gather above the apostle's head.
Oscar and the others began to look anxious.
Bart and the others realized that they had become the enemy's target, and they stopped and broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, the rays of death—
"...So you're still unable to resist, Millardi Raison?"
Ross closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to face reality. His murmur contained a small but hard-to-conceal disappointment.
At this moment──
"Super-Super-Miredy-Flying-Kick!"
The light of the firmament descended from the distant sky, so fast that it formed a white film—a wall of air—that attacked the apostle.
She used the gravity field assisted by Lutilis's full-strength sublimation magic to fall at an extremely high speed.
The tip of her toe also condensed a compressed "Giant Black Jade" gravity bullet.
The mass bomb exploded on the apostle's raised greatsword, emitting an incredible roar and sending shockwaves radiating through the air. Simultaneously, the silver light above the apostle's head vanished, and his body was flung away like a marble, crashing heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. It was a repeat of the previous scene.
The people of the Kingdom of God, the Federation, the Empire, and the Republic were all speechless upon seeing this scene. However, only Oscar and his companions laughed joyfully, while the Light of the Sky—Milletie—was as usual.
She rested her left hand on her waist, raised one leg, and made a horizontal V-sign with her right hand next to her eyes.
"Welcome! The supremely gifted and beautiful magician! Millety Lazen! Here she comes!"
Meredith winked with all her might, as if to convey the look to the whole world.
Time on the battlefield stopped again.
However, Meredith remained oblivious to the chaotic atmosphere she had created; that was her style.
In the dusty air, Meredith pointed ahead and shouted:
"You're holding your head too high! You're just a puppet controlled by God, what are you so arrogant about!"
Then she shouted, "By the way, I'm a human!" Her arrogant words, shouted on the battlefield, echoed throughout the scene.
At this moment, the knights who suddenly came to their senses and the priests who came to the front line to use magic to provide support also shouted "Miko-sama!" and "What is going on!"
After that, the dust was swallowed up by the silver light and disappeared.
At the center of the light lay the unharmed apostle. Not a speck of dirt on her body. She stretched out her hand, and the greatsword she had just thrown was instantly summoned into her grasp. She simply raised her two-handed sword and slashed it across, tearing the earth apart and causing the air to explode.
On the other hand, Meredi also landed on the ground.
"Hmph, you're just pretending. Even if you did something like that, it wouldn't change the fact that you were knocked to the ground! Hey, how are you feeling right now? How would an apostle of God feel after being knocked to the ground? Hey, I'm asking you!"
Meredith kept provoking. Before the decisive battle, she seemed in excellent condition. It was hard to imagine that she had just been on the verge of death.
The apostle remained expressionless. Meanwhile, somewhere, the sound of countless blood vessels bursting echoed throughout his body. Needless to say, the source of the sound was none other than the group from the Kingdom of God.
As the spokesperson for God, and also an apostle with divine power, had she ever been fooled so utterly? No, absolutely not!
"Say whatever you want. You'll be unable to speak again soon anyway."
"Even though you say that, how many times have you failed to kill Mi-chan? Hey, Esther!"
The first time was four years ago. The second time was in the desert. And just now was the third time. As the saying goes, things never happen more than three times, but just now was already more than that.
Hearing the name spoken by Meredith, Royce and his men looked surprised as they gradually launched a siege. This was the first time they had heard the name; previously, the miko had always called herself "Aines" in front of them.
As expected, the "Apostle of God" corrected herself. However, this time, she mentioned a name that no one expected.
"The name of the one who will kill Meredith Lessen today is Ahat, the Apostle of God."
"Ahat?"
Why did you change your name? Meredith looked puzzled.
However, the small talk ended there, because a whole group of people were already standing behind the apostle.
The leader of the White Light Knights, Ross Byrne, as well as the deputy leader, Aram, and other captains.
The leader of the Beast Light Knights, Mulu Oliki, as well as the deputy leader Godel and the Holy Beast Corps.
The Grand Master of the Knights Temple, Lilith Yakain, as well as the commander of the Third Army, Zeba, and the knights.
Baran Distarch, Cardinal Secretary of the Kingdom of God, and the priests.
Detelf Ernst, the chief of the Federal Army, and generals from various branches of the Federal Army.
Of course, there were also many soldiers, including the Imperial Army, surrounding Meredith.
That's why Meredith held her head high and smiled, as if to boast of the bond she'd forged. Facing a force that represented the entire world, she had to stand firm.
This is like telling everyone that hope is here. There is no need to kneel down in despair, no need to be afraid, and no need to plunge into the sea of contemplation.
The other companions responded to Meredith's gesture and stood beside her.
Oscar pushed his glasses up. Mel laughed. Natsu checked the condition of his recovered arm. Bando tied his scarf tightly.
And there is Queen Lutilis, who is extremely beautiful, wearing a well-behaved mask and looking down on the invaders, and behind her are members of the Republic Warriors such as Shim.
The two camps' strongest forces of this era confronted each other here.
An unnaturally quiet atmosphere enveloped the battlefield, like the calm before the storm.
Meredith floated gently.
Ahart also spread his silver wings and flew into the air.
"Under free will—"
"In the name of God—"
The voices of the 'Liberator' and the 'Apostle of God' broke the silence.
The former's voice contained an overwhelming will, while the latter's lifeless voice seemed to freeze people.
In response to their actions, everyone raised their weapons.
Then──
"Achate, the Apostle of God—I will defeat you!"
"Heretic Meredy Lessen—I will destroy you!"
The signal for the start of the war was a massive gravity ball that erupted in a fiery burst of sparks, followed by a silvery barrage of artillery, deflected by its orbit and launched skyward. A circular hole was punched through the clouds, smearing the world in a silvery white. Then, Meredi reversed gravity and soared into the sky.
Of course, Oscar and the others also wanted to chase after her. But──
"Ahat-sama has demonstrated her will! We cannot let other enemies get in her way!"
The apostles' goal is to eliminate Meredith Lessen. That's the new oracle, the will of God. Given that, of course, we must give them our full support. The righteousness of war and other matters can be dealt with later.
Balaam roared, and the entire army who heard his roar began to stop the actions of Oscar and others.
"Adra! Burn them to charcoal!"
The flames spewed out by the Holy Dragon King Adra are about to ravage Oscar and his camp.
Of course, Natsu's spatial barrier perfectly blocked the flames, but their actions were also hindered.
In the aurora emitted by Adra, Oscar glanced up at the sky.
At this moment, Meredith's voice came through the earrings. She said to Oscar and the others:
"Everyone, I'm fine! I'm leaving that side in your hands! Don't let those guys get in my way!"
"What! She's planning to fight the apostles alone?! That's outrageous!"
Compared to their previous battle in the desert, the apostles were now far more powerful. Just now, Oscar and Bandu had nearly lost to them together.
Oscar was absolutely right. Mei'er and the others also showed their agreement and looked up at the sky. At this moment—
"I'm fine!"
Meredy replied to this.
Several azure and silver shockwaves appeared in the sky. Meredith was currently battling the incarnation of divine might, but her voice was remarkably strong, without a trace of wavering.
"We must show it to everyone! We must show it to the world!"
What is it showing? You know it without asking.
"Let everyone know that humans can also rebel against God!"
And──
"Let everyone know that "free will" is here!"
She would defeat the messenger of God, the embodiment of divine might, so that for the first time people would believe in possibility, in hope, in the future.
"I am the leader of the Liberator. Therefore—"
"So you want to fight alone?"
Isn't this right? Oscar wasn't the only one who thought so. Natsu, Mel, Bando, and Lutris all wanted to convey this idea to Meredith. However, before they could do so, Meredith smiled and said to them:
"Please lend me your strength! Even if I fight alone, I am not alone! Am I right?"
Aedra's flames weakened. It seemed to know that it could not break through Nizu's barrier no matter what.
Through the gaps in the aurora, Meredith and Ahart could be seen gazing at each other in the sky.
Meredy puffed out his chest and smiled triumphantly.
Even if she fights alone, she is not alone. The strength of her companions supports her.
Rather than speaking to Oscar and the others, these words were more likely directed at Ahart, who was actually alone.
Oscar and the others had slight smiles on their faces.
Afterward, Adra's flames vanished. Meanwhile, Rouse and the others, full of fighting spirit, charged forward. Natsu, with a smug smile, retracted his barrier.
The first to attack was Lutilis.
"Now's not the time to consider the consequences. I'm going in! This is my full strength—"Forbidden Zone: Ultimate Liberation"!!"
That wasn't the thin layer of "sublimation" that covered the entire army. It was the "ultimate sublimation" that the Queen of the Sea of Trees used with all her might for a single girl.
"Sister, I'll give it my all too~—'Konaga: Tenth Continuation'."
The regeneration magic she cast with all her might on Meredith could be activated once a second, restoring her body to its previous state. Even if attacked by decomposition magic, it wouldn't instantly dissipate. She cast this radiance over her beloved sister.
"Hmph, how can this end in a place like this? Bartram, lend me your strength."
Squirm! Bartram saluted with his tentacles. The strongest slime steward, cultivated over ten years by a magic master, responded. Meanwhile—
"Natsu, come and help me. Take these things and Bartram to Meredi."
"understood."
With Niz's help, Oscar quickly crafted the artifacts Meredith might need, along with other items that would help her, and handed them to Bartram. Then, just before Rouse's attack and Lilith's lightning strike, Bartram used his "portal" ability to teleport the items to Meredith's side. Oscar and the others quickly dispersed to avoid the attacks.
The roar shook the battlefield. Both armies, understanding this was the final battle of the war, launched a desperate charge. Neither side had any tactics. One side fought for the gods they believed in, the other for their right to survive. A head-on collision ensued!
At this moment, the female ghost who was shooting sparks—Lilith, whose expression was very similar to hers, rushed out.
Rushed towards Lutilis.
"Ahh, 'Miko-sama'! I've always wanted to see you!"
Lilith cried out in joy, but swung her blade without hesitation.
Lutilis was completely unsuitable for close combat, and seeing Lilith launch a sneak attack with astonishing speed, she froze...
"Don't even think about it!"
Bart rushed in between them at the critical moment, used the surface of his scythe to make the knight's sword slide aside, and then used a roundhouse kick to send Lilith flying.
"Knight Hunter! You always try to get in my way!"
"Where's your sense of justice? You actually tried to cut Lutilis just now!"
"In order to save her from your brainwashing, even if I have to chop off a hand or two, I will have to! God will judge whether what I do is right or wrong! I will not spare my life!"
"Hmph! That's why fanatics are so annoying!"
