The battle between the divine world and the combined forces of the divine world and the human and demonic forces was beginning to head towards a point.......a stalemate in the battlefield as it raged. Considering the pure difference in strength, it was difficult for this battle to stalemate.
　This is because, although they are fighting good battles here and there, the God Realm side is still far ahead of them in terms of war potential. However, the struggles of the Six Kings and the Six King executives, and the passive fighting style of the God Realm side, which emphasizes buying time, are meshing together, and the situation is gradually beginning to stalemate.

　The one who benefits from the stalemate in the war is the God Realm side. The purpose of the divine race is only to buy time so that they don't let Shallow Vernal get in the way. Therefore, some of the strongest members of the Human-Magic Alliance began to notice the trend of the war, and began to move to somehow break that trend and bring them to their side.
　And the one who led the charge was the first heroic person with a long white bowl fluttering and a sword in her hand.......Noin.

　Only a very small number of beings knew that she was alive, and quite a few of the divine race and the combined human and demonic forces expressed their dismay at the sight of her with her helmet off. That's how big her existence was to those in this world.
　Not overlooking the unrest, Noin ran towards the place where the divine race................and the senior gods were gathered.

　
　However, that's nothing new. She........Kujo Hikaru is not the strongest by any means. She isn't stronger than anyone else, nor is she smarter than anyone else.
　However..........

''A flash.....................Ouka!

　The figure wielding the blade with eyes filled with a strong will, has an atmosphere that is different from the others. Naturally, it's not up to the current senior god's physical abilities, and the blade she wielded was blocked and counterattacked.
　But she ... does not fall. No matter how many times she was attacked, no matter how many times her attacks were blocked, she would kick the ground again and head towards the divine race.
　

　It was a wound that could never be called damaging. However, for some reason, the Senior God swung the sword in his hand with a slightly impatient expression.

''I won't let you!''

　However, his sword is blocked by Laguna, who intervenes with a large spear.

'Don't think you can play our general so easily!　False!
I know.

　Following Laguna's words, Pholus activates his magic to keep the Senior God in check. Strangely enough, both Laguna and Pholus are more powerful than their usual girlfriends, and they succeed in making the Senior God be pulled from the spot.

''Haha!　It's still good. Hikari, it's great to fight with you!
"Gutsy" is not a very good word for a researcher, but it's true, it's not bad.

　It wasn't limited to the two of them. It was clear that the momentum of the combined forces of the Human Demon Army was beginning to increase. The flow of the battle, which had been on the verge of stalemate, began to move as if it had come to life again.

　Again, she........Kuujou Hikaru wasn't called a hero because she was the strongest, but because she was the strongest. In terms of combat power, there are many things in this world that are superior to her.
　However, the way she challenged them........gave those who followed her the courage to stand up to her. Her unbreakable back gives her the strength to never give up.
Many people gathered to follow the path she trod........ Her small but too great back is burned in their eyes, and they are inspired to hold the blade and fight together.

　It gives courage to those who follow it, energy to those who fight with it, and hope to those who see it.
　That's why, yes, that's why...she is the only one in this world who is not a king or a god - she is called a hero, and she is still being honored to this day.







　Glancing at the allied forces that are regaining momentum through Noin, Fear, who once fought against her as the Demon King, lightly smiles.

''........as I thought, Hikari is amazing.......''
Yes, we're not to be outdone.

　Agreeing with Fia's words, Ein also looks at Kronor in front of him as he glares at her. With the help of the three family members, the existence of the battle is finally at a minimum.
　Without defeating the Supreme God, including her, there will be no victory in this battle.

''........Totally, really great. It's a good enough battle against our enhanced strength. But we can't let them get away with any more-- What?

　While giving words of praise to the Human Demon Union Army, Kronor's expression, which was still spare, suddenly changed. And it was not only Kuronoa, but also Ein and the others.
　While the girls were confronted, Sore suddenly flew in and stopped while destroying the floating island in half.......

''Ridiculous.......God of Fate!


　Looking at Fate, who has several colored glowing spheres floating around her body, and who is down on one knee and exhaling roughly, Kronor has a panicked look on her face.
　That's probably just as well. Fate is the strongest among the Supreme God........that is. She should be the greatest warrior on the side of the god race. Such as she is, she has clearly suffered a great deal of damage within a not so long period of time.
　

''Kuu........still........''

　Not reacting to Kronor's voice with an impatient expression, Fate stretches one hand forward while remaining on one knee. And trying to invoke the authority she has........

''That's why I said you're a toro!
Gafu?
God of Fate!

　In the next moment, I was beaten away into the distance by Alice, who appeared in front of me.

''Well don't think you can catch up to me with such a leisurely manipulation of fate.

　The Alice who appeared was almost completely free of dirt, let alone any noticeable scars, and even the robe she was wearing was almost nonexistent. It really was proof that she was overpowering Fate, and when Kronor saw that, he immediately stopped time.

(I can't believe it, I did indeed assume that the Phantom King would be the nastiest of them all. But I was naive.

　Kronor, who has gone around behind Alice due to the time stoppage, shoots a fist at the back of Alice's head with all his might as it is, lifting the time stoppage the moment it hits the soles.
　That fist, which even contained a desperate intention to kill, 'pierced' the back of Alice's head and 'made her disappear'.

　What--God?

　By the time Klonoa realized that before she knew it, Alice had been replaced with an alter ego, it was already too late, and a sharp kick slammed into her side, sending her bouncing away with a meke and a creaking sound of her body.
　Klonoa bounced a few times while making a large crack in the ground of the floating island, but halfway through, she regained her position and landed on both feet while holding her kicked armpit.

(Stupid, what was that power!　You've done so much damage to me...

　Kuronoa, strengthened by Shalovanal, possesses nearly ten times her normal magical power. The physical abilities brought about by that magical power are overwhelming, and even if you were to be attacked by an attack so powerful that it would wipe out all of this space, you wouldn't suffer much damage.
　In fact, even if you were to receive a decent attack from the Sixth King's equivalent of Ein, the current Klonoa would not even suffer a scratch.
　However, Alice was able to pass damage to such Kronor with a mere kick. That meant that Alice could easily penetrate the strengthened Klonoa's magic defense with ease.......

　The damage that had been attacking the armpit disappeared when a green light fell on Kronor, who had a shuddering expression on his face at that fact.

''........God of Life, thank God.''

　Life, who had been fighting elsewhere, seems to have realized that Alice is in danger, and while recovering Kronor and Fate, he creates a cavalry force of over ten thousand and sends it towards Alice.
　I don't expect that cavalry to be able to do any damage to Alice. However, they could buy some time. As if to ridicule Life's thoughts, Alice's body blurs into two, and one of them changes shape.

''Please, Iris,''
I know what I'm doing. Wide-area annihilation is my specialty I will open the cage of darkness, the nightmare frenzy, and swallow all the elephants--the Nightmare Gate!

　As Iris emerged from Alice's body and completed her jutsu, a disastrous gate appeared in the center of the cavalry and sucked in over ten thousand cavalry like a black hole.
　Then, after confirming the cavalry's annihilation, Iris returned to Alice's body.

(Oh no, if the Phantom King can hold us back.............................the battlefield will be tilted)

　Alice's power to still overwhelm the Supreme God who was supposed to be strengthened. While shuddering at her power, Klonoa was thinking about something.
　If all three Supreme Gods were to be suppressed by Alice at this point, the United Human Demon Army would gain momentum, and if that happened, the current would be completely tilted.
　In this case, he must be prepared to sacrifice one of the Supreme Gods and use all his deadly strength to stop Alice alone. Even an enhanced Supreme Being would not be able to stop the current Alice if she did not use all of her deadly power.
　Life, the keystone of the battle, was an absolute no-no... and Kronor wasn't the only one who thought that.

''Aaaaah!
Mmm....

　Fate, restored by Life, shouts and rushes in, grabbing Alice's hand before rapidly accelerating. It looks like he intends to pull her far away from the center of the battle and fight her one-on-one.

(.........Sorry, God of Fate. (I forced you into a damaging role)

　Fate taking on Alice was a gratifying choice for Kronor. To be honest, Fate's movements today were lackluster. Even without the fact that he was taking on Alice, the strongest existence in the Human Demon Union Army, he seemed to be somewhat unfocused on the battle.
　The reason for this is hesitation........As a result, since he has chosen to stand on the side of Shalovanal, Kronor is not openly criticizing it either. But even so, he still felt that the current Fate was in a bit of danger.
　Although it was a ruthless choice, but if he thought on the premise that he could be revived later.......Fate was the right choice for the sacrifice that would suppress the strongest card.








　Thousands of kilometers away from the floating island at the center of the battle, Fate and Alice were once again engaged in a battle. Numerous powerful attacks were released from the spheres that Fate floated around her body, but none of them could reach Alice.

(.........Amazing, Char-tan. When did you become so strong........20,000 years ago, Char-tan was barely even with me using Hecaton Cale. But now, he is 'overwhelmed without using Hecaton Cale'. (I can't catch up with the manipulation of fate at all, and even if I do, the entire law of cause and effect is twisted.

　Yes, the current Alice possessed a fighting power that even Fate, who she had known for a long time, could be said to be outside the scope of her imagination.

(Or rather, how could she really be so strong?　Can Char-tan, who originally had such a complete strength to begin with, grow so rapidly?　(Or were you not serious 20,000 years ago?)

　Such questions came to mind, but there was a part of Fate that didn't add up to more than that.

　No, before that, why not use Hecaton Cale?　(If you're this overwhelmed in your current state, it should be easy to beat me with Hecaton Cale...)

　Yes, up to this point, Alice had not used her trump card, Hecaton Cale, the heart tool. That's a sign of the margin of victory that she can win without using it.......not.
　If she considered the goal of saving Alice's kaijin in the first place, she shouldn't be willing to give out or relent at all. That's something Fate, who has known her for a long time, understands.
　The fact that Alice is adding or subtracting and fighting means that there is some reason to add or subtract and fight.......

''........You have a terrible face, Fate-san.
Because Char-tan beat the crap out of you.
'That's not what I meant - I meant it's totally licked!
'What?　What?

　Alice's speed increases even more. Alice, who moved at a speed that even the current Fate can't follow with her eyes, attacks Fate one after another.

'How can you possibly beat me with such a lost and ragged mind, is what I'm saying!
Huh?

　Fate's eyes widened at the words Alice told her. Yes, Fate was still confused.

''Because.........I........''
You're using your position as an excuse, distracting from the consequences, leaving you lost and confused and on edge... and you're a tragic heroine for life!
Ughhhh....

　Blown away by Alice's fist, Fate pushed forward, destroying several floating islands and coming to a halt to be buried on the dozenth floating island.
　The damage was heavy, but not that serious. It was at a level where she could recover instantly if she had the power to do so. But Fate........couldn't move.
　Even if the physical damage wasn't serious, she was facing the fact that Alice's words kept turning away from her.

(..........Kai-chan.......Kai-chan......tell me, what should I do?　I don't want to lose Kai. (But I can't betray Shalovanal-sama... it's hard... it's hard...)

　There was a streak of something shiny running down its drooping cheek.
