Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Two purplish-red chunks of flesh covered in barbs fell to the ground with a "thud," still wriggling around in a state of being dead but not stiff. Reddish-black mucus gushed out from the skin and cuts, and a pungent white smoke hissed from the ground around them.

Clearly, these things that suddenly appeared not only possessed strong vitality, but also some kind of corrosiveness.

“I don’t know…” Mashu raised her cross shield and pushed away several tentacles that were lashing out from the swimming pool. Then she slammed the shield into the ground, severing a tentacle that had sprung out of the forest. She said in a deep voice, “It seems like the whole school building is full of them!”

"Those two scheming women must be trying to harm us!"

Hinako Akuta drew a simple and blunt conclusion, slashing off two whiskers that were attacking from the side with her sword, while glaring angrily at the culprit not far away with her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

Lily, who was hiding behind a broken sculpture, glared back without any politeness, adding a sarcastic remark.

"Ha, are your eyes just for venting your anger? Did we lose our minds? Did we drag you all into this?"

"Who knows if you're just putting on a show of suffering!"

Hinako, with her neck stiffened, retorted sharply.

Dissolve Lilith's gaze was disdainful, revealing her sharp tongue.

"Is this how you use a self-inflicted injury tactic? Please, if you're not smart enough, you should just donate your brain!"

"How dare you insult me!"

"Hehe, I'm just stating the facts, and someone's getting impatient."

"Do you want to die?"

"Oh dear, how scary, how scary."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere froze.

The next moment, the irritable Old Mustard, in order to vent his anger, gritted his teeth and launched the first attack, swinging his sword to throw pieces of still wriggling tentacles, rolling rubble, and discarded building materials at the Dissolving Lilith opposite him.

Lilith, having anticipated this, kicked the unidentified flying objects towards the other side in retaliation.

In an instant, debris flew everywhere between the two, creating chaos.

All the pressure from the front was transferred to Mashu. The frail girl, holding the cross shield, swayed precariously under the barrage of Sakura's mechanical cannons and tentacles.

"Bang!"

As a can, which was out of the fighting zone, smashed into Mashu's head, the hardworking junior's face turned from white to green, then from green to red, and finally turned into a gloomy black.

"boom!"

The crashing shield made a violent noise, smashing several approaching tentacles into a bloody pulp, and even the ground beneath everyone's feet trembled three times.

"Have you two had enough?!"

Mashu's face flushed red as she angrily rebuked him.

"What kind of time is this to be fighting amongst ourselves? If we don't unite soon, we'll all be doomed when those guys outside come in!"

And haven't you noticed that one of us is missing?"

After being scolded, Hinako Akuta and Lilith felt inexplicably guilty, but when they heard the last sentence, they were suddenly stunned.

Wait, not enough people?

Immediately, the two subconsciously looked around and quickly realized that something was wrong.

The candy vines seem to have disappeared.

As Lilith considered the worst possible outcome, she gritted her teeth in frustration.

"That guy actually betrayed us!"

"I told you long ago that there was a spy among you."

Hinako Akuta, who thought her guess had been verified, was once again filled with schadenfreude.

Seeing that the two, who didn't get along well, were about to start fighting again, Mashu quickly reminded them, "Stop it! The gunfire outside has stopped!"

Hinako Akuta was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously muttered, "Isn't stopping a good thing?"

"Good news?" Lilith glanced disdainfully at Hinako Akuta across from her, and snorted irritably, "The cessation of artillery fire means the guys outside are ready to come in!"

As she spoke, Lilith sensed the danger in the air and lost all interest in arguing with Hinako Akuta. Instinctively, she shrank behind cover, preparing to face the impending attack.

Similarly, Mash on the opposite side bent over and nervously raised her shield, shielding Hinako Akuta behind her.

"Instead of waiting to be killed, let's strike first and break out together in the chaos!"

Hinako Akuta, unable to contain herself, proposed a straightforward tactic that perfectly suited her personality.

Lilith, as always, sang a dissenting tune: "Charge? With what? We can't even get out of the old school building."

However, she was not opposing for the sake of opposing.

Looking around, the entire old school building seemed shrouded in a misty fog. They felt as if they were trapped in a lost world, where their senses of time, space, temperature, and direction were all distorted.

Within this mist, indescribable murmurs rose and fell, and listening for only a moment felt as if countless wet, sticky tentacles pierced the skull and burrowed into the brain, stirring it endlessly.

But faced with this predicament, Hinako couldn't help but have a different thought, her scarlet eyes gazing intently at Mashu's feet.

"Fuwu!"

Instantly, Fou, who was lying at Mashu's feet, felt a chill run down her spine as if she were possessed, and bared her teeth and growled at Hinako Akuta, who was quietly approaching.

Mashu snapped out of her daze, quickly hiding Fou behind her back and looking warily at Hinako Akuta.

“Senior Akuta, Fufu says you seem to be plotting something really unscrupulous.”

"Have it?"

Hinako blinked innocently, but faced with the serious expressions of the human and beast, she could only reluctantly withdraw her outstretched hand, muttering to herself.

So what if we just want to throw it out to scout ahead? It's no big deal.

The dignified Fourth Beast only knows how to act cute and charming all day long. Shouldn't it play a role in times of crisis?

Having spent so much time with that scoundrel, Hinako's thoughts gradually became assimilated by him.

Just as Hinako was inwardly complaining, Lilith, who was standing next to her, noticed something was amiss.

"Strange, why are the tentacles around us starting to retreat?"

If stopping the bombing was to make room for the next wave of attack, then retracting the tentacles was also for...

As Mashu pondered, she suddenly felt a jolt, the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out. The expression on her pretty face changed drastically, and she opened her mouth to shout rapidly.

"Danger! Get out of here!"

With that, Mashu decisively grabbed Hinako Akuta and rushed out of the bunker, running wildly towards the old school building gate.

If the halting of concentrated fire and the retraction of tentacles are both preparations for the next wave of attack, then it proves that the enemy believes this strike is enough to crush that area.

Even the entire old school building!

At this moment, Lilith, who was a beat slower, also realized what was happening and quickly jumped out of the cover, rushing into the mist amidst the rushing water.

However, no matter how fast the three of them charged forward, the door leading out of the old school building remained neither too close nor too far away from them.

“NyarshthanNyargashanna…”

In the darkness, indescribable murmurs came from all directions.

Interspersed among them were girls' laughter.

The laughter was cheerful, like a successful prank.

Immediately, a huge, smiling shadow rose from the darkness, standing like a colossus over the entire world.

The shadow continued to expand, and almost instantly, the captured real space was transformed into an imaginary number. Time froze, space gradually solidified, dimensions completely collapsed, and all the rules that existed above "reality" ceased to exist.

The world and all life forms existing within it are relegated to lower dimensions, constantly sinking... sinking...

The three people within the barrier looked up and were immediately met with a sky that had turned completely black. The visible boundary had become an unbearable crimson, and in place of the yellow sun in the sky above was a black sun like a total solar eclipse, surrounded by a crimson halo.

The sky seemed to have been split open, and surging black mud poured down onto the ground, turning the stained earth into an unknown void and chaos.

"boom!"

The black mud solidified into a giant human figure. Looking down from the sky, the purple-haired woman, wearing a large red bow, reached out with a cheerful expression.

The old school building, which had been sinking in the imaginary space, was lifted up by a pair of huge, fair hands. Purple eyes the size of the sun blinked happily, and a playful and lighthearted voice came from the void.

"Report! Three adorable escaped pigs have been spotted!"

In the pitch-black shadows, a purple-haired girl, now a colossal, higher-dimensional being, digs into the earth and erodes the world with her bare hands.

The colossal shadow rising from the void lifted the entire old school building as gently as if scooping up pudding with a spoon, and looked down with a smile.

"Let's put you in the enclosure. Heh heh, you can't escape now, can you? Come on, allow yourself to pitifully scatter and run around for a while..."

That was a cruel smile.

The entire old school building was held in the giant's hands like a toy, and the girl clearly had no intention of cherishing this "toy".

BB!

Hearing the demonic voice coming from all directions, the three of them trembled, feeling as if they were being pricked by thorns, and accelerated once more.

But all is in vain.

The scene before them was like a group of two-dimensional pixelated people running through an endless maze under the gaze of a three-dimensional being, unable to escape the gaze and manipulation from a higher dimension no matter how much they struggled.

The despair grew ever deeper, as endless as the surrounding darkness.

Joyful sounds followed, radiating eager excitement.

Come, rejoice!

The sound is so distant, my shadow covers the world.

CursedCuttingCrater

Okay, let's flatten everyone with a 'poof'!

The world was as fragile as a soap bubble; the entire barrier, along with the old school building within it, collapsed and shattered in those clasped hands.

But at the same time, streams of milky white nectar gushed out from beneath the torn earth, quickly filling the ground and surging upwards, eventually filling the entire imaginary space.

The same enormous shadow emerged from the milky white ocean.

"boom!"

In an instant, a giant girl with two horns on her head and green spots on her body took a step and broke through the darkness with lightning speed. At the same time, her bandaged fist flew out and punched the eye socket of the dark giant.

Caught off guard, the gigantic BB staggered backward.

The world, about to suffer a terrible fate, slipped from the girl's grasp and fell into the snow-white ocean of breasts.

Meanwhile, the other hand, wrapped in bandages, quickly bent down and scooped up the falling old school building, catching it steadily.

"Kingprotea!"

BB looked at the gigantic girl standing in the milky white ocean, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately raised his hands and made a grasping motion in front of him, trying to use his authority to completely destroy the structure of the Emperor Flower and squeeze it into a useless data module.

The collapsing space and dimensions shrunk towards the center on a large scale, and the whole world seemed to be crumpled into a ball of paper.

"The flower of Protea will grow endlessly... Sink into the sea of ​​life—the colossal shadow appears in the sea of ​​life...!"

The childish voice, brimming with a hint of authority, gradually rose in pitch. The milky-white ocean beneath the giant girl's feet surged and expanded, like life-giving water that nourishes all things, shattering the cage that represented chaos into pieces.

Life overflowed, the false giant vanished like a bubble, and darkness was once again replaced by light.

The protea, supporting the old school building with one hand, stands in a sea of ​​milky white, like a deity descended to earth.

【A Giant Shadow Appears in the Sea of ​​Life】, a Noble Phantasm themed around the legend of the churning of the Ocean of Milk, one of the Hindu myths.

Legend has it that the Hindu gods sought the elixir of immortality—nectar—in order to survive on the desolate earth.

It is said that in order to make nectar, the ocean that covers the entire world—the Ocean of Milk—must be stirred. So the gods and their enemies, the Asuras, worked together to turn the world around Mount Mandala and stir the Ocean of Milk, giving birth to many lives and elixirs.

Airavata, the goddess of the Ocean of Milk who was born from it, is one of the manifest powers of the Protea.

In fact, Kingprotea has been 'oppressed' since its creation.

This is both a restraining force from the world and the suppression of BB in the Mooncell system, as well as the limit of the material world outside the computer world.

This Noble Phantasm is a natural barrier that can temporarily eliminate this "oppression" and restore the Emperor Flower to its original size.

Transforming into a size that cannot be seen by humans, the Emperor Flower can annihilate its enemy with a simple strike, waving its arms and legs.

Once she returned to her original size, she was already regarded as a treasure, and at the same time, the Ocean of Breasts gave her the concept of "the pressure of losing one's virginity".

This characteristic perfectly counters BB's Noble Phantasm, which delivers a devastating blow, creating a perfect balance of power.
