Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

Without a moment's hesitation, the Windwing Wing, still high above, released starlight a second time, and countless short swords, the "Thousand Tears," rained down on Lingyi as she fell.

As the opponent was shot down, the shadows mixed in among them once again pinned Zero's shadow to the ground.

"Tachibana!" "I understand Miss Tsubasa, S2CA Triple Amplification!"

While still falling, Kazanari Tsubasa grasped the hand of Tachibana Hibiki, who was already prepared, while Chris's hand was already clasped.

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

[Emustolronzen fine el baral zizzll

[Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal]

[Emustolronzen fine el zizzll

"Sprak Song!" "Combination Arts!" "Set Harmonics!"

S2CA, through the harmonization of Hibiki Tachibana, achieved the harmonization of the power of the final song, concentrating the power to a greater extent on Hibiki Tachibana, thereby launching a wide-area attack with super-great power.

"Ha---This is our swan song!"

The energy impact of the final song spread boundlessly, clearing away all obstructions of vision that could be considered cover, and Tachibana Hibiki clearly saw Rei's figure.

They absolutely wouldn't miss. All the previous preparations, all of Chris and Kazanari's attacks, were aimed at identifying Zero's true form, restricting it, and ensuring that the attack landed squarely on her.

"100%, well done. It was worth enduring so many attacks to cooperate with you."

On the other side, looking at the values ​​on the instrument report, Lingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With this level of string gain release, the planned activation of the complete relic was finally completed, thus achieving the initial goal.

"Well then, unfortunately, the game is coming to an end, and it's time for me to leave. Armament upgrade, Hawk thrusters, level 2."

Seeing G曰'=易,琉伊弃依扒师（"四)芭's figure swinging his fist straight at him, Zero gave such an order. The next moment, the tattered thrusters on his back were renewed in the light.

P.S. Good evening.

Chapter Seven: Eagle Propulsion System

The energy surge from the triple finale, accompanied by Hibiki Tachibana's punch, transformed into a seven-colored energy tornado, crashing towards Rei on the stage like a tsunami.

Without a doubt, if Zero were to be directly hit by such an attack, her defeat in this battle would be undeniable.

With her body pinned down by the shadow seam, Zero missed her chance to escape. Even at her fastest speed, Zero couldn't escape the area covered by the nearby energy tornado in less than a second.

"Since there's no time, let's create time."

As these words were uttered, a tornado engulfed Zero's body like a tsunami, destroying everything in the surrounding space and creating a huge gap in the stadium.

How could that be?

However, despite the successful attack, Hibiki Tachibana showed no joy on her face.

Because, even under such a full-force attack, and despite the destruction of everything around them, Lingyi's figure in the center of the stage remained unharmed.

"Why isn't it working? It's practically like noise..."

Looking at Lingyi in the center, Fengmingyi was incredulous.

In her memory, only noise with phase difference protection could do something like this.

"This must be a lie! There's a limit to how outrageous it can be!"

Chris was also very unhappy with this result; the three of them combined their finishing move, but it didn't even scratch the surface of their opponent.

"That's a really powerful move. If it hits, it could be really bad."

In the center of the ruins, facing the three astonished people, Lingyi first praised them, and then she took a few steps to the side.

The next moment, the familiar energy surge reappeared from Lingyi's original spot, but its target had already moved away.

"This is a scenario. Does it mean that you've manipulated the timeline, transferring the attack you received to the future?!"

Upon seeing this scene, Feng Mingyi immediately understood why Lingyi was not injured.

It is not a spatial interference force like noise that can be affected by Symphogear, but a completely different type of force that manipulates time.

"Transferring to the future? Is that even possible? If so, how can we defeat her?"

Knowing the reason why the attack could not hit, Chris felt even worse.

If Zero really can transfer all the attacks she suffers to the future, then what way do they have to win?

"Don't be so surprised. If I didn't have a guarantee of victory, I wouldn't have come to participate in the battle."

Lingyi slowly explained, while the thrusters behind her continued to operate stably.

The Hawk Thruster Level 2 is equipped with a time manipulation system that can transfer any attack suffered by the wearer to the future, several seconds later.

If such a weapon, which can be described as absolutely defensive, had not been developed, Zero would never have risked his life and put himself in a dangerous situation.

"Ha...ha, even so, I will not give up."

Despite missing her decisive move and panting from the strain, Tachibana Hibiki stood up and assumed an offensive stance.

"Such a tenacious will... but let's save our energy for now."

Seeing that Tachibana Hibiki still hadn't given up, a strange emotion flashed in Rei's eyes. Then, she appeared behind Tachibana Hibiki in a flash.

"Qin?"

Before Hibiki could react, Rei had already taken a needleless syringe from the opened battle sword machine and stuck it into the back of Hibiki's neck.

"woo"

Just moments ago, Hibiki Tachibana was full of energy, but after the medication was administered, the light in her eyes faded, her armor dissipated, revealing her original casual clothes, and she involuntarily collapsed.

"Okay, that solves the problem."

With one hand supporting the fallen Tachibana Hibiki, the data on the screen in her right eye scrolled for a moment, and then Rei made no further movements.

"What did you do to Tachibana?!"

Upon seeing Rei's actions, Kazanari Tsubasa immediately stepped forward, intending to rescue Tachibana Hibiki from her grasp.

"Let me give you a suggestion, Miss Fengming."

In response, Lingyi simply tossed the limp body in her arms to the other person and, before she could react, opened a portal behind her.

"If you don't want to lose your comrade, don't let her continue fighting as an armored soldier; she'll die."

After offering this advice, and ignoring the two's attempts to say something more, Lingyi disappeared into the portal.

...

In the dimly lit room, a portal glowing white opened, and Zero, who had just been through a battle, carried two little bundles, one black and one yellow, to her waist and entered.

After leaving the battlefield, Lingyi did not immediately return to the base. Instead, she went to a secluded spot in the venue and captured the two big lolis who had wandered there unexpectedly.

"Qiege, you should know that Diao needs your protection right now. Diao, you should also be aware of the danger posed by the spirit of Finny residing within you. Now, tell me, why did you two come to the concert?"

After closing the portal and placing the two girls on the ground, Lingyi calmly questioned them about their reasons for acting on their own.

"This...this."

Faced with Lingyi's imposing question, Qiege was startled, and her legs, clad in black and white stockings, began to tremble.

"I'm so sorry, Zero-chan, Kiri-chan just wanted to help Zero-chan."

Finally, it was the relatively calm and thoughtful Diao who spoke up to help Qiao Ge out of the predicament.

"Well... well, that's it. I wanted to help Zero-chan, like when Zero-chan is in danger, I'd be a hero and die."

The blonde girl, Qiege, spoke her thoughts in a trembling voice, stuttering slightly.

"Phew... The fact that you two can follow orders and act properly is the biggest help you can give me. I'll let it go this time, but don't act on your own again in the future."

Seeing the two of them looking somewhat uneasy, Lingyi finally sighed and didn't say anything more.

"Guaranteed death!"

Hearing that Lingyi seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter, Qiege immediately reverted to his former optimism, smiling foolishly as he made his promise.

"It's best not to get too excited about the sauce."

Unlike Qiege's optimism, Wenjing felt a chill run down her spine, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Oh, speaking of which, regarding song switching and tuning, I didn't ask when I first got back because I was too busy. Are you still completing your daily training with the same quality and quantity?"

Lingyi spoke these words to Qiexa and Diao as if they were unrelated matters.

"Death?!" "'Death' won't help either, Che-chan, just accept reality."

Then, upon hearing Lingyi's words, the optimistic girl's expression became even more terrified than before, while the quiet girl's eyes lost their sparkle.

Chapter 8 Nephilim

Buzz-Buzz

As the alarm sounded, Naztashya stared intently at the screen in front of her in the dimly lit room.

Several protective doors on some of the screens have been lowered and warnings have been displayed, while the screen at the very center shows the appearance of a very violent creature.

"That's the hunger impulse described in legends, where people don't care about killing their own kind. Is Nephew really too heavy for humans?"

Looking at the ferocious appearance of the monster inside the isolation barrier, Naztash couldn't help but think this.

"Please don't think that way. Even if it's difficult for humans to master, as long as it helps the hero and is worthy of the hero, that's fine."

A young man who appeared to be fairly well-mannered walked out of the dark doorway and said this.

“Dr. Will…you still won’t explain your purpose? You already know that Maria is not the body of Phineas’s resurrection, and that Phineas has not been resurrected, so why do you choose to stay here?”

Upon seeing the man walk in, Naztashia called out his name and asked him this question.

As an expert in biochemistry, he is also a key leader in improving the Linker, which is crucial for the adaptation of inadequate armorers, and an important support for the armorers within the organization to continue fighting.

She had once considered using the false fact that Maria was Finney to gain his help, but this lie was exposed with the arrival of Zero.

But for some reason, even though they knew this fact, the other party did not choose to leave, but continued to stay here and provide support for the FIS warriors.

"I have answered this question many times. I want to become a hero. That's right, I want to become someone who can be called a hero."

Seemingly triggered by some keyword, Dr. Will's expression momentarily broke through his outwardly gentle demeanor and revealed a hint of madness.

"Well, you probably can't understand it by saying that. You can't understand the fact that I, as a genius, am destined to become a hero. In that case, let me explain it in words you can understand."

"Indeed, without Finney's leadership, you would undoubtedly be incapable of becoming heroes. However, feel honored that you have indeed invited a lady with heroic abilities to join you."

"As long as that lady is still alive, the idea of ​​saving the world is not just empty talk."

Having suppressed his madness and regained his normal expression, Dr. Will slowly spoke to Naztasha.

"That young lady, are you referring to Lingyi? I see. Did you receive her help in this matter?"

After listening to Dr. Will's speech, although she still didn't quite understand his thought process, Naztashia somewhat realized that what he said was related to Zero.

This is probably the best decision I've ever made.

Naztasha thought to herself, recalling what had happened before.

Previously, after the Moon Shooting Incident, an organization called the Bavarian Light Society offered to support her actions and offered information about the Sky Blade, a relic that could help her complete her mission, in a tempting manner.

However, based on the information provided, Naztasia did not choose to join the operation to seize the relic as the Bavarian Society of Light had envisioned. Instead, she chose to cooperate with the owner of the relic.

[Phew... Although I knew that child was very strong before, I didn't expect that she would grow to this level without me even realizing it.]

But what kind of reason could have forced her, still just a child, to undergo such a process of growth?

Naztasha sighed inwardly as she recalled the girl who had seized control from the moment she joined with an impeccable strategy.

"Mum, what happened!"

At this moment, as the two were talking, Maria rushed over from outside to inquire about the alarm that had just sounded.

"Are you worried? No problem, it's just that there was a slight riot in Nafili. Lingyi has already gone to deal with it and feed them."

Naztasha and Maria, who had arrived, explained, gesturing towards the screen. As she spoke, a new figure appeared in the room where only Nephilim had previously been, now glowing red on the screen.

"It shouldn't be appropriate for her to feed Nephilim... huh?"

Seeing that the other party had appeared, Naztash was about to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Zero's actions on the screen.

On the screen, Naphir instinctively opened his mouth wide when someone entered, and then... was stomped onto the floor.

Furthermore, whenever Nafi gets up to attack, he is beaten by Zero again, and this behavior repeats itself.

"Um, mum, won't Zero's actions have any impact on Nephilim?"
