"........."

About thirty minutes had passed since the alarm sounded and the residents ended their evacuation. Origami and her friends, having confirmed Hermit's location, immediately began their annihilation operation.

The nine AST members present were floating in long-range equipment, which consisted of a wiring suit wrapped around their entire bodies and a propulsion unit for basic equipment, crammed with as much ammunition as possible.

Normally, that weight would render the entire body immobile, but this is compensated for by the absolute force field generated by the realizer and the gravity of the random territory.

Everyone unanimously pointed their cannons at Hermit, observing the situation.

then,

"Varied--"

A person's embarrassed voice was transmitted to everyone's ears through the communicator.

The smoke surrounding the place where Hermit landed vanished in an instant—and within it appeared the figure of a heavy-looking doll, which had not been identified until recently.

—On that back, Hermit's small body clung tightly to it.

"That's Hermit's angel—!"

The sound of the communicator vibrated Origami's eardrums.

This was the first time anyone present had ever seen it. It was the weapon manifested by Hermit—an angel.

Then, the giant doll bent forward, letting its two front legs touch the ground, and then white smoke-like substances were exhaled from its four legs, abdomen, and mouth.

Then the doll's head turned towards the sky.

—Kuwoooo ...

Then, it let out a strange roar that left one with a ringing in their ears.

And so—centered on the doll, the ground crackled and popped, radiating outwards and turning white.

"W-What's wrong? What's going on?!"

An anxious voice rang out from the team member.

However, the Hermit doll didn't care about the reaction and continued its annoying roaring and breathing out cold air.

Each time, the ground becomes whiter.

"........."

The swaying gaze of the origami artist.

The same phenomenon was happening everywhere on the streets that came into view.

The water, caused by the sudden downpour, rose little by little, forming sharp, thorn-like shapes, and was instantly frozen.

The frost seemed to creep down on the roads and buildings, making it feel as if the entire street had been put into a freezer.

In the blink of an eye—their world was covered by ice and snow.

And what's worse is that now the moisture here is being added to without limit from the sky.

The enormous amount of raindrops were instantly assimilated by the ice and snow covering the ground upon contact.

The frozen city, endlessly invaded and expanded.

That thing submerged the streets of the Heavenly Palace.

"...Everyone! Don't be afraid! Fire!"

As Ryouko gave the order, Origami issued instructions in her mind.

All the cannons mounted on the body started firing at once.

The other AST members did the same, firing as many rounds as possible at Hermit.

but--

"........."

Origami held her breath for a moment.

Those munitions were frozen before they even reached Hermit, falling to the ground without detonating.

Origami immediately issued the command in his mind, and the simplified analysis was activated.

What quickly filled the field of vision was a faint, yet terrifyingly widespread spiritual energy reaction.

"What...what happened?"

"—It's probably because of this rain."

Origami gave a brief response to the team members' disheveled state.

"rain?"

"That's right. Although it's only a tiny amount, the rainwater carries the power of the spirits."

The torrential rain covered the entire field of vision without leaving any gaps.

The moment it came into contact with it, the ammunition was covered by ice and snow, freezing to the ground along with its power.

Rain and cold air imbued with the power of spirits. This curtain of water, along with the ice city covering the ground, became a strong protective barrier guarding the master who resided here.

"…………!"

Then—there, the hermit, clinging tightly to the back of the giant doll, took action.

"Goo ...

It looks a little different from how it always has been.

That's right. To put it simply, it's like taking a deep breath to exhale cold air. You can imagine how terrifying the frost attack would be once the doll had inhaled enough cold air.

"Everyone, retreat!"

As soon as Ryoko gave the order, she sent a command to the propulsion unit in her mind, and Origami and the others immediately left the airspace where they had been floating.

Instantly, the doll's head returned to its original position, accompanied by a deafening and unpleasant high-pitched sound, and blue light-like objects were emitted from its mouth.

"Whoa...!?"

"Waaah—"

Through the communicator, I could hear the team members' distressed voices. It seemed the two had been a step too late in their escape.

"——"

He turned around in mid-air and glanced down.

There were two snowballs, each about three meters in radius, spinning around.

There's no mistake. It's the two people who were just now making those distressed sounds from the other end of the communicator.

"...Frozen the random territory...? You must be kidding me...!"

"........."

While listening to her teammates' voices, Origami kept a close eye on Hermit's actions.

Then—hermit seemed to notice that ast and the others were in disarray, and started acting again.

Suddenly turning its back to the origami, the doll touched the ground with all four feet and slid away at an extremely high speed across the frozen ground.

"Ugh... Chase after them!"

"learn!"

After the origami girls issued the commands in their minds, the propulsion unit was activated.

However, every AST member had one question in their mind.

(Why isn't the armored man (Shido) here?)

Eyes' Tip

Author... you don't have to copy the entire original work like this!?

(Stay calm, after all, this is just a bit too much... tea)

Forty-third promise: I will always be your hero! (1)

Forty-third promise: I will always be your hero! (1)

"This guy is still alive!"

That's right! That Hulk, who's about 40 meters tall (hey! Can we stop with this joke?!), is none other than the Gills! His appearance hasn't changed at all, but there are some cracks on his belt, which makes agitω realize that he didn't completely kill this guy earlier!

(Yo! I'm back, Shido...)

The "You" character, consisting of only two hands and a pair of eyes, has reappeared after a very long time! (I've finally made my appearance!!)

To be honest, he originally planned to show up at Shido's house and scare Shido, but after sensing the aura of the reverse-body, he came over directly, and what he saw surprised him!

(Holy crap! Shido, what the hell are you doing?! Didn't you completely break the Reverse-body's belt?! You let the Reverse-body go berserk!)

The roar of "Yes!" still echoed in Shido's ears, making him understand what was going on.

A sense of self-reproach began to creep into her heart, but agitω knew that now was not the time for self-blame!

At the same time, seeing Tohka and Origami flying rapidly towards her, agitω had an idea in mind.

"Tohka! Come here quickly! Origami is the same!"

"Understood, Shido!"

"Ok!"

While they were still some distance from surpassing the Gills, Tohka and Origami had already reached Agitω's side.

agitω looked at the three women beside him. Tohka and Origami were glaring at each other. Tohka had some scars on her body and Origami had a broken sword in her hand. Yoshino hid behind her, while Yoshina in her hand looked at Tohka and Origami with curiosity.

"Hey you two, this isn't the time to argue. Tohka, you stand on the 'Soul Tornado,' I'm going up."

"Shido, are you going to use my power?! Waaah~~ Origami Tobiichi, I won't give you another chance next time!"

"I'm available anytime."

After the two women finished speaking, Tohka returned to her original state and stood on the 'Soul Tornado' to start chatting with Yoshino and the others.

"You're Yoshino, right? I'm Yatogami Tohka, just like you."

"Huh!?" ×2
