She was cornered and even heard whispers that were impossible to hear otherwise.
Swish! She was slashed again. It was a diagonal cut from the shoulder to the chest.
There was no regeneration...Finally, even Mei's protection was completely destroyed.
Was it lucky? The wound wasn't fatal. However, it was certainly a serious injury.
(I can’t win──)
She whispered in her heart...
However, her instinct made her retreat desperately...
So, what she saw before her was a shimmering blue object.
“Ah—”
It was a talisman. A gift from Colleen and Ruth, lovingly given to her, placed on her head by Oscar himself—a treasure.
At that moment, Meredith's hazy consciousness quickly surfaced. She looked at the two great swords aimed at her neck from both sides like guillotines.
“Ua ...
“──!?”
The gravity field expanded outward from Meredith like an explosion, forcing Ahart to step back slightly. Ahart's eyes widened, but only for a moment. She dismissed the impact as insignificant and immediately launched a disintegration attack.
Meredith is on her back, she thought. This one blow will end it all.
However, Meredith, already exceeding her limits, dodged the blow. The attack grazed her upper arm, and blood spurted out again.
"I need to pull myself together! I need to quickly recall everything that has happened so far!"
Meredith's gaze regained its strength. Ahart shook his head, unable to comprehend. The outcome was already certain, so why was she still struggling? It was irrational, ugly, and foolish.
That was enough. She had fully understood the difference in power between them. That despair was enough, wasn't it? From now on, the despair of others losing her would serve as a way to distract the Master from his boredom.
Ahart thought so and fired a disintegration bombardment—whoosh! Meredith dodged it. Her dodging was quite smooth.
Ahart unleashed a barrage of silver feathers.
"? Four? No, six?"
Since when, the number of satellites guarding the home planet of Meredi has increased to six. No, they are still increasing, crisscrossing around her, fending off Silver Feather's fierce attacks. Even if they devour or destroy those satellites, new ones will immediately appear.
In that case, let's attack directly. Ahart, with her afterimage, approached Meredith. As she raised her greatsword to strike diagonally, Meredith's body dodged by moving sideways. Ahart immediately swung a second greatsword, but this time Meredith instantly activated her gravity field, causing the sword's trajectory to deviate slightly from its target.
At the same time, Ahat also noticed that Meredi's speed was gradually increasing.
"The game is over."
Who was he addressing? It was as if he were speaking to himself. This made Ahart's intelligent beauty grow even colder, and the silvery magic erupted even more violently.
So, she began to chase, chop, pierce, and gouge Meredith, gradually making her covered in blood. However...
(They managed to dodge it at the critical moment!?)
Ahart had already put her true strength to the test. She was determined to end the battle, attacking Meredith with all her might. However, she couldn't defeat Meredith!
Only then did she realize that although Meredith looked very miserable, her face did not show any pain.
Meredith's face was expressionless. But it wasn't the lifeless expression of Ahart, but an uncanny expression with a sense of transparency.
And Meredith's eyes were radiating a deep, azure light.
She didn't seem to be looking at Ahart. Not even at reality, but rather at something, exploring, understanding. As if she wanted to peer into the abyss of the world within her.
Ahart could not help but shudder. She was clearly emotionless, but when she looked into Meredith's eyes, she felt an indescribable shudder that made her tremble.
“Drink aaaaaaaaaaa!”
Ahart roared, as if to drive the trembling within her. She transformed into a silver meteor, closing in on Meredith, and with murderous force, she swung her sword with all her might, sending the killing intent of disintegration hurtling towards her.
Amidst this onslaught, Meredith allowed herself to be lost in an uncanny feeling. It was like being on the line between reality and fantasy, a feeling indescribable.
Was it extreme fatigue and the ultimate enemy that gave Meredith the ultimate concentration?
Time slowed, and Ahart's roar dragged on. During this time, her journey so far played out in her mind like a revolving lantern.
——The first time I fought alongside Oscar. The immense magic power I harnessed when I blasted a massive hole in the abyss.
──Experience of a death fight in the desert.
——When helping Andika, the feeling of deep and broad power spreading throughout the body.
--The power of nature felt when absorbing natural lightning and fusing it with one's own.
And──
—The power I felt deep within my soul when Rouse transformed it into a spirit form. No, it was the essence of gravity magic.
At this moment, she couldn't help but blurt out in a low voice:
"Ah, I see... My magic is..."
The number of wounds on her body was too numerous to count, and a large amount of blood was flowing to the ground. It was not surprising that she would die from blood loss at any time. Her magic power was also about to be exhausted.
However, the current Meredith is extremely terrifying.
No. We can't go any further! Something in Ahart's heart strongly ordered her.
However, she couldn't kill Meredith. Now even her attacks couldn't touch Meredith!
At that moment, Meredith's gravity control power surged with astonishing force. Over ten of the guardian satellites were no longer removable by the silver feathers, and Meredith's flight approached subsonic speed, yet she was able to execute erratic movements like a leaf drifting through the air. The strain on her body was greatly reduced by the ultra-precise, simultaneous gravity control, like threading a needle, so she didn't even grunt.
This was truly a flawless aerial dance. A complete grasp of gravity was necessary to achieve this divine power.
Therefore, this ending is inevitable.
“That’s it!”
Ahart didn't realize that his voice had become higher and higher, and he used all his strength to decompose the artillery.
“—‘Eliminate Disaster’.”
However, her decomposition bombardment was easily swallowed. Ahart opened his eyes wide, showing obvious astonishment. In addition—
"—[Calamity]."
“Hmm!?”
The pressure exerted by Meredith was far greater than before. Ahat, summoning her own magical power to resist, now had no more left. She strained her entire being just to maintain her flight, yet her altitude gradually decreased.
She couldn't understand. This time, it was something else. So, she looked up and saw—
The sun in the sky.
I saw the Transcendent illuminate the world with overwhelming brilliance. And then—
"Can you lend me your strength?"
I saw an extremely dense and powerful force flowing and concentrating on the sun.
Brilliant power continuously surged out from the sky, clouds, wind, earth, and the sea of trees.
This was the radiance of nature's magic. Like the water of a mighty river flowing into the sea, or like a vast whirlpool, this force formed a vast spiral, gradually converging towards the sun, like the Milky Way.
Who is she asking for strength?
Seeing this scene, there should be only one answer.
The planet itself lent its power to Meredith. As if drawn by gravity, the magic of nature gradually absorbed the girl.
The battlefield on earth stopped for the third time. Everyone's consciousness seemed to be nailed to the spot, staring blankly at the sun floating in the sky.
Then──
"Miledy Rasen declares—"
Meredi extended her hand and aimed at Ahart. Ahart, pinned down by the gravity field and unable to move, shot out the silver feather with all her might, a distorted expression never before revealed.
However, her silver feathers could no longer reach their targets. All her attacks were suppressed by the gravity field in front of Meredith and stopped.
After that, a flash of light shot out, and a black vortex-like gravity ball appeared with Ahart as its center.
“Ugh! Aaaaaaaaaaa!”
Ahart screamed, desperately resisting the ultimate gravity magic that threatened to crush and destroy her - "Black Sky Poverty".
This force even makes people feel that the previous blow that pierced the abyss in the big tunnel was just child's play.
The eyes of 'God's Apostle' Ahart and 'Liberator' Millardi Raison met.
A shot passed by.
"General."
So is the hateful God, and so is the twisted and cold world.
Meredi clenched her outstretched hand, as if to crush Kamui, as if to grasp something important.
The moment of ending is quite peaceful.
The gathered power quietly dissipated, and "Black Sky Qiong" was compressed and destroyed.
—This monster…
Ahart seemed to whisper this before everything disappeared.
The numerous silver feathers suspended in the air also began to fall from the battlefield, emitting a dazzling light under the sunlight.
"... Belle... I won..."
"Will you praise me?" Meredith looked up at the sky, as if asking. Then, she suddenly lost her strength and began to fall to the ground.
Thank you for your hard work, Xiaomi. You worked hard and did a great job.
In her gradually fading consciousness, Meredith seemed to hear a nostalgic voice.

Episode 4 Finale
Dusk hour.
Under the slightly overcast sky, a figure was walking quickly in the dark alleys of the capital of the Kingdom of Elbad.
He was wearing a long robe with a hood that covered half of his face, and carrying a huge weapon wrapped in cloth on his back - that man was Royce.
He tried his best to make himself invisible, even using soul magic. Therefore, even though there were still many people on the street at this time, no one looked at Rouse. However, in the current atmosphere of the gods, even if he hadn't become invisible, no one would pay attention to him.
After all, the knights who went to war for righteous reasons have returned.
What kind of person is the Son of God? Those filthy beasts! Seeing them punished by God is truly satisfying! The entire Divine City is now enveloped in this high-spirited atmosphere.
They probably couldn't have imagined it. They couldn't have imagined that the Kingdom of God would be defeated—no, not only that, but even the apostles, the embodiment of divine power, would be defeated so completely.
The leader of the Knights of the White Light was supposed to go to headquarters, but upon his return, he casually abandoned his responsibilities and left alone, wanting to return to his family as soon as possible.
(We have to hurry...)
He walked while muttering, and soon his house gradually came into view. He did not want to go in through the front door, but went around to the back door.
"Who are you?! What are you doing here at the Byrne family's house?!"
The person who asked for his identity was a serious-looking young man with gray-brown hair, about twenty years old. He stood just inside the back door, his hand gripping the knight's sword at his waist, glaring fiercely at Royce as he tried to open the door.
"Ryan Hyde, it's me."
"Lord, Lord Royce!? Are you back? Eh? But why are you dressed like this..."
Seeing Rouse remove his hood, the young knight, Rheinheid Ashey, who served as the Byrne family's guard, widened his eyes. It was inevitable. After all, the head of the family had concealed his face and sneaked back through the back door. The other knights on duty, noticing the commotion, gathered to see what was going on.
However, Laws looked anxious and ignored the knights' puzzled expressions.
"...I can't sense any presence at home. What happened to Sharon and the others?"
Indeed, the house was devoid of the presence of his family. Besides his son, Sharon, neither his wife, Lycoris, nor his mother, Deborah, were in the house.
A sense of foreboding welled up in him. Had his thoughts already been exposed, having just returned? Royce's heartbeat grew increasingly violent.
Ryanhead didn't notice Ross's mood, but replied in a relaxed tone:
"Ah, everyone's gone to the chapel."
"A chapel? The Central Church? Why?"
There are large churches in the east, west, south, and north of the capital city, all open to the public. The church at the foot of the mountain where the headquarters is located in the north is called the Central Church. It is the church closest to the Byrne family.
