The ultimate battle type of Hecaton Cale that Alice had invoked. Against that power, which was completely unknown to the divine race side, the one who took the initiative and challenged it was.......Kronor.
　Klonoa immediately stopped time and approached Alice with all the speed she could muster.
　The authority when she exercises it is different from ordinary magic. In extreme cases, if it's just called time stopping magic, there are multiple things that can be exercised if you're in the county class.
　But Kronor's power is a far cry from those. It's not just a matter of how much time you have left, it's a matter of how much time you have left.

　In fact, even in the early stages of offense and defense, Alice counterattacked against Klonoa's power of time by taking advantage of the gap that she had switched with the altered body and disarmed beforehand.
　That's why Kuronoa didn't give her time to switch places with the altered body and launch a quick attack.

　

''Ridiculous--guh!

　With a startle, Kronor's body was blown away by Alice's light counterattack, and he rolled on the ground a few times, and the time suspension was lifted.

''Time and space god!
"....in the time that I have stopped...
Oh, 'I can move now.'

　Alice replies nonchalantly to a stunned and muttering Klonoa. Towards such Alice, Life, who has quickly finished healing Kronor's wounds, approaches.

''The Time and Space God command the whole thing!　I'll take care of this one!

　Alice catches the fist that Life swung down, but Life's arm strength, which has overwhelming physical strength, surpasses her pure strength and begins to push Alice a little bit more.

(.......I can do this.

　

''........Huh?''

　The damage itself was almost non-existent. But I didn't immediately understand what had happened.

(...........................Lost in force?　Me?　Why?　(Because earlier...)

　It was true that she should have been pushing. She, as the God of Life, could not possibly mismeasure the physical abilities of her opponent. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　And then he shouted to Klonoa, who immediately moved away from the scene and had a similarly astonished expression on her face, "Time and space God!

''Time and Space God!　Not good!　If we don't take it down soon...
What's this all about?
'It's going up!　Seconds ... no, faster!　The Phantom King said, ''My physical and magical abilities continue to increase at an explosive rate!　This is going to get really out of hand!
What?








　Fate, who was watching the attack and defense from a little distance away, was also astonished with her eyes wide open, as were Kronor and Life.

''Ehhhh........what's going on?　Char-tan, it's obvious that you're getting stronger and stronger...
...I will explain myself.
'What?　Oh, um, I think it's Char-tan's best friend's...
Yes, he has asked me to be the interpreter. My name is Ili--
'Squirrel-tan'!　Yeah, I don't know what's going on, so please explain.
"...wait, that name is...
Quickly!
Uh-huh...

　As an explanation to Fate, Iris, who materialized, looked like she was about to complain about the nickname Fate had immediately given her, but her spirit pushed her to begin her explanation.

''.........That is the power of his mind tool Hecaton Cale's ultimate battle type. No, maybe I should call it his 'characteristic'.
''Well, Char-tan's Hecaton Cale will be able to use the powers of the person with whom he spun the bond, right?
It must be a normal ability. And that ultimate warfare model is also the form in which he spun all the world's hopes to confront the evil gods, and the power that transformed his own body into an incarnation of hope.
...Uh-huh?
''The original power of that Ultimate Battle Type is to add all the bonds it spun to its own power... that alone is more than enough to be powerful, but there is another ability that Alice has gained from becoming an incarnation of hope.

　Fate nods her head curiously, as if she still doesn't understand what Iris is trying to say.

''I'm sure he told you earlier. Alice usually 'doesn't grow in both physical and magical ability'...
Well, as I recall, it only grows under certain conditions... Does that mean that ultimate battle type is the condition for that growth?
Hmm. "If I can't win with the current me, I'll be the one who can win," was what he used to say before and the current one is the embodiment of that. The thoughts of people....................there is no end to it. This is the true ability of the Hecatoncale Ultimate Warfare Model. And that growing ability 'will not disappear even if you deactivate the Hecatoncale'.
'What?　
Yeah, he had a fight with the god of the other world in that state before. He grew up in that state.

　It was truly a tremendous ability. There was no end to Alice's power now. If she can't cope with Kronor's authority in time, she will grow to cope.
　If you can push against Life's physical strength, you will evolve into a physical ability that can overcome it. An ultimate power that can easily step into even the divine realm and continue to evolve infinitely even there.......








　Kronor and Life, who had heard Iris' words, also had a despairing expression on their faces.

(..........Well, if you surpass the enemy with all of your abilities, there are various limitations, such as slowing down your growth rate and strict activation conditions, but hey~ I don't need to bother saying it................

　Alice's ability now has grown to the point where she can no longer inflict a single wound even if the entire god race is bunched together. There is no way that the gods can win, but there is still a light in the eyes of the gods.
　
　Light like a meteor began to dance around Alice's body, and Alice opened her mouth while touching one of the lights.

''........Well, now you've fulfilled the 'conditions'. But it's going to take some time to get used to it.
What are you talking about?

　Neither Kronor nor Life could understand Alice's intentions. Because right after they thought that the one-sided overrunning would begin from here on out, they deactivated that ultimate power.
　Even though the ability he grew even after disarming it was still intact, it seemed like there was no advantage to disarming it.

''No, I thought I'd cut another 'trump card'. Hecaton Cale's ultimate battle form is indeed powerful.......................but in order to use this, it's more convenient to use the normal form. This?　What do you think it is?　Well, I'm going to get this over with, so I'll just tell you the answer: 'Kaito-san's heart'.
?

　Even Kronor and Life understood that the mind tool was a mysterious ability that Alice was exercising. That's why they prepared themselves and became more vigilant when they heard that it was the heart tool of a pleasant person.
　

'That heart is a sure trail we stepped on - laughing together - crying together - a trail of memories we accumulated together. --The bond we spun is a miracle piece - my heart is here!　Be with me!　'Memories'!

　The moment she said those words, a dazzling light that covered the space was emitted.

''........I just need some time. So I need your help.

　The words come back to that voice that trembles so gently that it is disproportionate to the battlefield, along with the sound of footsteps.

''........Yes. Let me help you, the one who saved 'Sister Alicia'.................your precious person.
''Of course. Master my loyalty flame is not so soft that it is extinguished by 'once dead'.
"Boy, just when I thought I was being called up to the Lord, he calls me to do extra work. That's all right. I owed you a debt too great to be repaid before I was born.

　A tall, blonde beauty with a face much like Alice's, a girl in knightly armor and red-burning hair, a languid looking priest in a vestment with a black upside-down cross painted on it...standing next to Alice.
　That's not all. Behind Alice, those who were too stupid to count had appeared behind her before she knew it.

　It is a bond that the girl who was once called a hero has spun. She fought and lived with them, her friends who were invaluable to her.

　Now, they gather again. They will cross the great wall of death and go to the foot of the heroes.
