Marco: ...I think we are lost…
Alice: *Sigh*
Marco and Alice were walking on a straight line, but they didn't felt like they were getting nearby, probably because they couldn't sense anymore Ilias due to her being eaten.
?: ...No, that is the correct way. It's just that the beacon that guided you two is gone…
Marco raised his eyes, and found Promestein walking towards them.
Marco: Finally here you are… What? You are not sending any more of those creepy things you call modified humans?
Promestein: Hmph… What a strange thing to say. I love humans.
Marco: Oh god… You are one of those types...
Alice: As experimental animals… You mean?
Promestein: ...Well, I wouldn't expect you two to understand. But still, those surface dwellers are fighting bravely. The invading army this time isn't maintained as the first one was… Most of them are cheaply mass produced models, poor in quality. All of the Chimeras on the ground are third-rate, too.
She let out a deep sigh.
Promestein: And the angels are in a panic due to that holy energy seal. It's their first time fighting surface dwellers on equal terms, after all. Most of them are feeling pain for the very first time in their lives. Against those surface dwellers, fighting for their very lives, the angels' mental fortitude is crumbling fast.
Alice: Hmph… So those conceited angels are being smacked for the first time?
Marco: ...Checkmate.
Promestein: Hehe, no, it isn't. This situation is exactly what we wanted! I've been waiting for these circumstances for so long! Thanks to you, everything has gone perfectly.
Alice: Plan…? What are you talking about?
Promestein: It means this is all going according to the scenario I laid out. The dispersion of Heavenly forces… Eden being knocked down… And for Black Alice to devour Ilias herself! The power of the Dark God will fuse with Ilias, and create the ultimate existence!
Alice's eyes widened and glanced at Marco… But he had a calm look, as if it didn't surprise him.
Alice: What do you mean by that…?
Marco: They cooperated with Ilias because they wanted her power, using a special item to increase Black Alice's dark powers both in quantity and quality, they created the first half of the puzzle, if Black Alice eats Ilias, then the other part of the puzzle connects with the first to create the real thing.
Now Black Alice isn't a simple Monster Lord, but the fusion between Holy and Dark magic, stronger than the previous two Goddesses.
Promestein: Oh, you are really smart… So you should know that it is impossible to wi-
Marco: I already told you, it's Checkmate. from the moment I recovered from turning in berserk at Ilias Village, I already won the war. I just got around the world to collect more power so I could win the war faster.
You don't know… But I know… You were at the haunted mansion and at Witch Hunt Village when we were there, I already knew of your intentions back then, and I was the one to let you live.
You are not smart, you only have knowledge, but you are unable to learn anything else… You should never concentrate everything on a single plan, but you should make different ones, you only analyzed the present and the past, but you never looked at the future.
I know your thoughts, you want to betray Black Alice by absorbing my powers and use it as a cataclysm to make yours stronger.
...I already saw through you even before meeting you.
Promestein was frozen on her place and fearfully picked the "White Rabbit" from her pocket to use it for herself.
Marco: You think I'll let you?
Marco's voice was heard right in front of Promestein, then she realized that he was holding her arm that had the drug.
Marco's hair were completely straight and his eyes were glowing blue while his body was crackling with electricity…
Marco: Godspeed… You are unable to move faster than my reaction speed, and I can see every single muscle of yours moving through electric pulses. You should have used the drug before coming here… And for your information, Black Alice is far from being the Ultimate Existence...
Promestein suddenly spit blood and flinched, she looked down and saw the Doomblade piercing her chest, the wound was burning like magma, and she continued to lose blood at an abnormally fast rate.
Marco: This is a goodbye, Promestein. If you were in my old world, maybe you would be awarded as the best scientist if you concentrated on how the world works instead of this shit…
Promestein: Old… World…?
Marco: I'm a reincarnated man, there's no problem telling you since you will die now… Hellfire.
Marco's Doomblade caught fire, and started to burn Promestein, who let fall the drug down, Marco caught it in air and put it in his pocket, then he pulled out his sword and let Promestein's corpse burn…

Marco: And one war potential is down…
Alice: War potential? No, how did you know everything?!
Marco: I told you, it was in my plans, all along… And Black Alice's death won't mean the end of the war… But I'll leave it as a surprise.
Alice: ...Since when did you plan everything?
Marco: ...Since the beginning… It won't matter since the war will end with our victory… Let's go to Black Alice now.
Alice: But still… Bitten by her own dogs. Ilias truly is pitiful…
Marco: Funny you say that…
Alice: What do you mean?
Marco just kept silent, making Alice's eyebrow twitch, before she followed him. Meanwhile, things were getting more violent at the surface world, but everyone kept their legs anchored on the ground and pushed the heavenly army back.
Soon, they reached the center of the Heavens, the sacred aura was pulsating around the two of them.
Alice: It's a beautiful place… Apart from the eerie atmosphere.
Marco: Yeah… I will need to pull "That" out here… Black Alice, come out…
Black Alice appeared near them and laughed.
Black Alice: Hehe… Hehehehe… Welcome to the party. The entertainment has been prepared a long time ago…
As she glanced at Marco and Alice, a powerful blast of power slammed onto the two of them.
Marco: Guh…!
Even Marco on the Kurama Gate was a bit intimidated, but he was still confident of his victory.
Marco: C'mon, reveal the abomination you became, if I know that a little girl like you defeated me then you make me sad…
Alice: Why are you seeking so much power!? What is it that you want!?
Black Alice: ...Why, everything, of course. Ever since I was born into this world, I have wanted everything to be in the palm of my hand.
Marco: Laaaaame!
Black Alice: Shut up! You can't understand it! The fate of one who inherited the Dark God's power… So to say. Alipheese the 16th… You lack the will to be the Monster Lord.
Alice: Is the goal of the Monster Lord to subjugate the world by force? I would never want to hold that intention! The true royal road is one of peace!
Black Alice: I will obtain the world through my power alone… Let me show you, Alipheese the Sixteenth. What kind of being the true Monster Lord should be…
Black Alice's skirt fluttered as tentacles burst forth from her. Hideous organs of flesh rushed from her small body… It was as if she was made from more creatures than one…
Black Alice: Hehe… This is my power. The ultimate power… A fusion of the Dark God and Ilias…
Alice: You abomination… We will bring you down for the sake of the world!
Black Alice: Now let's dance, my beloved partner. If you embarrass me, I'll eat you in a flash…
Marco prepared himself with Kurama Gate, the Doomblade on his hands, and summoning all 5 of his spirits to increase the strength of his techniques, meanwhile Alice acted as a support, for either healing, defence and attack.
