Promestein: With that, your power was completely blocked. Now even a single beast is more than your match… But you're not completely worthless. The fact that the spirits responded to you to begin with is interesting…

Then there is the fact that you have the ability to use an unknown energy to strengthen yourself.

The Chimeras surrounded Marco as Promestein continued to speak, Marco was sweating cold from his current situation.

Promestein: You should surrender. I promise to keep you only for 100 years if you do.

Marco: What the f.u.c.k is the difference?! I will die anyways!! 'I can't show my gun now… I will be f.u.c.king killed if I do… There's no openings to use… I am weak… Then…'

Marco had a shadow over his eyes, as if he was thinking about her request… The he raised his head, and extended his arm, then he raised his middle finger to Promestein. He may be frightened to death, but he would prefer death than not maintaining his words, especially to take care of Alice...

Promestein: ...I understand… Very well, the you will come with us by force. Until only your brain and your genitals are left, I'll continue to experiment on you… Amphisbaena, cut off the Sinner's limbs.

Marco's eyes widened in terror… He isn't a hero… He isn't a protagonist… He isn't as strong as before… It's normal feeling such terror from those words.

Amphisbaena: Hehe, what a wonderful task. Leave it to me.

Then the spider-like chimera walked towards Marco. She flashed her sharp legs as she steps closed, Marco, with his terrified face and the sword on his hand, backed away.

But before the chimera could try something, A large vibration rocked the hall.

Amphisbaena: What is this?

Marco: …Jesus, thank you!

Giganto Weapon somehow turned back in the castle with Tamamo riding on her back, and smashed through the nearby wall.

Tamamo: Did I make it in time?

Marco: f.u.c.k OFF TAMAMO, I GOT ALMOST KILLED!!!

Tamamo just laughed and directed the Giganto Weapon to the chimeras surrounding Marco, swatting them away.

Tamamo: Wahwahwah! Woah, girl, woah!

She was holding onto her back for her dear life.

Promestein: Giganto Weapon… A weapon from the Sacred Monster Wars.

Marco: Is it Great Monster Wars or Sacred Monster Wars?

Promestein: ...Yes.

Marco: Oh… Continue…

Promestein: Ahem… I wasn't aware of anyone possessing the knowledge to restart this being, besides me.

Tamamo: Owaah!

Tamamo tumbled to the ground, shaken off from the rampaging monster, and then it attacked the remaining five Chimeras, the strong ones…

Hainuwele: ...Why is that thing coming here. I'll pa.s.s on that kind of opponent.

Marco: It's to save my a.s.s!

Arc-En-Ciel: Then I shall play with it…

Marco: f.u.c.k!!!

Then Arc-En-Ciel took a step forward, and with one hand, she stopped the Giganto Weapon's charge at her, something that could easily do Marco too with Kurama Gate… If he could still use it…

Arc-En-Ciel: Oooooohhhh!

Then she forcibly grabbed hold of the Giganto Weapon and tossed her in the floor, the floor was fractured into thousands of tiny cracks as the force of the impact caused the whole Castle to vibrate. Then she walked towards the Giganto Weapon.

Marco: ...s.h.i.+t… I should have known...

Arc-En-Ciel: Haa!

Then she continued to deliver powerful kicks to her, until she stopped and said with an unamused face.

Arc-En-Ciel: ...It's over. That was disappointing. This is the ancient ultimate weapon, produced during the Sacred Monster War? Were the fighters back then of such low quality that this was considered powerful?

Promestein: Don't say that, Arc-En-Ciel. The power she held back then doesn't even compare to today, it is like confronting the Sinner's transformations. Just getting her to operate after 1000 years of stasis is impressive. This wasn't even a shadow of her power when she was at full strength.

Arc-En-Ciel: I see… Truly a pity. Too bad, I wanted to fight the so-called ultimate weapon with her at full power.

Marco just slowly walked away, avoiding making any sound…

Promestein: These five Chimeras are the ultimate in hand-made beings, using the pinnacle of my technology. Next Doll… The ultimate Chimeras. There probably is no worldly opponent that can stand up to these five, now… Not even the Four Heavenly Knights.

...Now then, it seems things are pretty much finished here. Take the Sin-Huh?

She turned around, but didn't seen Marco anywhere.

Promestein: Where did he go?

Arc-En-Ciel: He slowly walked away while you were monologuing.

Promestein: And why didn't you stop him?

She just shrugged in response, and said.

Arc-En-Ciel: He's near the Kitsune.

Everyone turned towards Tamamo, and behind her stood Marco with a bit frightened look on his face.

Tamamo: Don't worry, you will be ok… These artificial monster's brain are those taken from beasts' brains, right?

Promestein: That's right. It's the most cost effective way when considering ma.s.s production.

Tamamo: Hmph. Well, if they have the brains of beasts…

She opened her fan and covered her mouth, then her eyes widened and her irises shrunk, a shadow was over her forehead, and started to greatly intimidate the Chimeras.

Tamamo: ...Then they know what will happen if they cross me.

Chimeras: …!!

They appeared as if they were terrified, meanwhile, Marco, who stood behind everything, sighed in relief, everything was going to be safe if it continues like this.

Promestein: …

Tamamo: What's wrong? Not going to attack?

Arc-En-Ciel: Oh… This one seems more interesting. I'd like to face this one…

Promestein: No… Arc-En-Ciel, we're falling back.

Marco: ...I almost want to be Catholic...

Arc-En-Ciel's face turned into one of disgust at Promestein's words.

Arc-En-Ciel: ...You can't be serious!? The Monster Lord's power was sealed, and the Sinner was completely neutralized. We've already achieved our intended goals.

Rapunzel: But the cleansing of the remaining monsters here still needs to be done…

Tsukuyomi: I was created to take down Tamamo, one of the Four Heavenly Knights. If we fall back here, this will be truly regrettable for me…

Promestein: We could defeat Tamamo here, but our huge advantage wouldn't be changed much.

...But a big loss of our force may be likely. At this point, we cannot afford to lose everyone, included you five. Don't be clouded by the immediate situation, take the sight of the big picture.

Arc-En-Ciel: I do not like this… But you are our creator. I merely obey.

Marco: Can you just f.u.c.k off?!

Promestein: ...We will, so you will escape with your life… For now.

Then she turned around and started to walk away while the Chimeras follow behind her.

Tamamo: Well, even when you lost everything you still have b.a.l.l.s of steel…

Marco: ...Then I will make them b.a.l.l.s of diamond.

Then Marco started to walk outside, ignoring Tamamo's shouts to stop himself.

[Meanwhile, Heaven]

Eden and Ilias were talking to each other.

Eden: G.o.ddess Ilias… Promestein seems to have withdrawn without following your orders.

Ilias: ….

Eden: You ordered the Monster Lord's Castle, the Monster Lord and the Sinner all destroyed. But she withdrew before finis.h.i.+ng off any of those goals. This is a grave sin, that besmirches your divine presence. You must punish that one…

Ilias: ...Well, I shall let her do as she pleases.

Eden: But G.o.ddess Ilias…!

Ilias: Are you challenging my forgiveness? You yourself didn't fully accomplished to my order. Or are you simply attempting to undermine my judgement?

Eden: No, I would never… Of course, I will do just as you command.

Ilias: Then go, Seraph Eden. Bring the judgement of the Heavens down on those foolish enough to disrespect it.

Eden: Yes! Entrust this task to me! I swear on my life, I will accomplish this task!
