Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

"Hibiki, go ahead and do it!"

"Ok!"

For months, Tachibana Hibiki has been relentlessly training without flinching, ensuring she's never been out of combat mode. Coupled with the martial arts tips Kazanari Genjuro prepared for her before leaving, there's only one thing she needs to do.

Steady her stance, feet firmly planted on the ground, clear vision, and targeting the suspended steel structure, Tachibana Hibiki, with her mortal body, threw a punch.

Undoubtedly, this mortal's fist had no effect on the floating units of the heretical technology, only causing the drone blocking its way to sway twice, but that was enough for Tachibana Hibiki.

She rolled over to the window, and to the astonishment of her classmates, gripping the windowsill with one hand, Tachibana Hibiki moved forward the shortest, straightest, and fastest route.

The height of three floors was a challenge for Tachibana Hibiki, but her long-term, continuous training had paid off. With a roll, she landed on the ground before Rei could react.

[Phew, next, we need to go to the shelter. There's noise, we have to go to shelter... Wait!]

She rolled to the ground and immediately checked her next move, but soon she felt her consciousness being affected in some way, an effect she had experienced before.

Now, we need to go help!

Biting her tongue to stimulate her consciousness with pain, Hibiki Tachibana regained a brief moment of clarity, corrected her course, and saw the battlefield approaching her.

Ignoring the scrapes on her body from jumping from the third floor, Tachibana Hibiki strode towards the center of the chaos, one step, two steps, three steps, moving in a straight line at the fastest speed and the shortest distance.

However, the influence remains; Zero's dominance is absolute, and even pain and a strong will cannot withstand this pervasive suggestion for long.

[To seek refuge, no, to help, to turn back, no, to move forward, but where is forward?]

Her mind oscillated between lucidity and confusion. It was no easy task to resist the domination of heretical technology with just her mind, but Tachibana Hibiki still did not give up.

With this unwavering will, she moved her body to the vicinity of the school gate, only a few dozen meters away from the battlefield, but those few dozen meters seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Even though she had injured her body, with blood showing on her fingers and sensitive nerves, she could not maintain her mental clarity. She was now experiencing hallucinations and could no longer distinguish whether she was moving forward or backward.

However, she still did her best to see the person she wanted to help, called out her voice, and announced to her that she was there.

"Little Qiege!"

The sound reached Xiaoqiege's ears smoothly, making her realize that Tachibana Hibiki was nearby.

【strong<()()爱】

I've heard you, so I must respond—by dying in my own way!

Trusting her companions, Xiaoqiege made her own choice: instead of activating the final battle function, she grasped the Ji-shaped spinning blade beside her.

[The Fierce Lock - Another Demon Ninja]

The scythe's long handle split apart, transforming into a multi-tiered whip that lashed out with swirling blades towards Zero's clone's waist.

Not long after, the attack was dodged. Of course, Zero didn't have the real body of Flash Blade on her side right now, and her physical clone didn't just appear out of thin air.

However, this was exactly what Xiaoqiege wanted. She had never intended to achieve anything against Lingyi with this attack. The spinning blade she threw out leaped over Lingyi, covering a distance of dozens of meters, and flew towards Tachibana Hibiki, who was lying on the ground.

"Miss Tachibana, please hold my hand!"

At the same time, Akatsuki also loudly reminded Tachibana Hibiki as much as possible.

Before launching the attack, Xiaoqiege and Finni had considered what they should do if their companions were controlled by Lingyi.

The final conclusion was that ZABABA's Green Blade is a blade capable of harming the soul. With proper training, it can shake the soul to a certain extent, allowing one to regain a moment of clarity.

[Xiao Qiege's voice: "Hold on, but there's nothing in front of you?"]

Faintly, Tachibana Hibiki heard Akatsuki's reminder and looked in front of her, but she couldn't see anything. At this moment, the school gate in front of her was still as peaceful as ever.

However, I believe this voice!

Although she didn't understand, Hibiki Tachibana still held onto her trust in her companions and that glimmer of inspiration, and reached out her hand.

Then she felt a scratch on her hand, followed by a pain that seemed to pierce her very soul, and after that pain, everything before her returned to its original clarity.

Thus, through actions beyond Rei's expectations, and through mutual trust and cooperation, Tachibana Hibiki found the vial with the Gungnir logo stuck on the spinning blade.

"Thank you, Xiao Qiege, and Lingyi, I will definitely save you this time, absolutely!"

Without the slightest hesitation, having learned its usage and consequences from the brief instructions printed on the bottle, Hibiki Tachibana grabbed the hopeful reagent and aimed it at her heart.

【Balwisyall Nescell gungnirtron】

The long-awaited hymn burst forth from Tachibana Hibiki's heart, and thus, Gungnir Tachibana Hibiki, the most overwhelmingly powerful performer among them, successfully broke through.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Clenched Fist and Exorcism

As the ethereal chant was sung, Hibiki Tachibana's Lydian Music Academy uniform exploded into light, and with the surge of complex energy, an orange and black undershirt covered her body.

Immediately afterwards, surrounded by orange-yellow energy, Tachibana Hibiki opened her eyes and stared straight ahead.

With his foot, now covered in armor, he stomped forward, shattering the concrete ground. His right hand, gloved in black and white, clenched into a fist and swung forcefully toward him, simultaneously covering his orange and white gauntlets.

“Gangniel!”

[A breakthrough decision, the right hand privately occupying the cloud 5-tone hairpin < Middle 7?]

With a determined shout and a fervent song, Tachibana Hibiki, clenching her fists, charged towards Rei, who was only a few dozen meters away and had just realized what was happening, with an indomitable spirit.

"But it was precisely the most troublesome type that broke through..."

Zero hadn't anticipated this sudden change. Tachibana Hibiki's unreasonable burst of power broke through all the restrictions she had set up and arrived in front of her.

[Why? ^'>5 LX? j (D first on the back wing five courage: & confused...mysterious L'i? fist benevolent package AJif]

Faced with Tachibana Hibiki's charge, the group of noise that had previously blocked Akatsuki Kirika turned their guns around and formed a defensive barrier with their bodies to block the two of them. However, they were immediately shattered by Tachibana Hibiki's fists, which pierced through his hands like skewers of lamb.

Clearly, these grunts were no match for the powerful, penetrating punches of this musician, offering no resistance whatsoever.

［勇网Let's 5|1。戊亡4玄/1^'07：一直微。

After shattering the noise into carbon powder, Hibiki Tachibana, step by step, sang a high-pitched song and used her automatically activated gauntlets to bombard Rei.

[The U-shaped section of the "Let's Shout Value" (9I-body evening force)]

Rei stepped back slightly, dodging Tachibana Hibiki's charged punch. At the same time, Tachibana Hibiki's punch, which missed its mark, struck the widow's anchor cable binding Akatsuki Kirika with undiminished momentum.

"Thank you, Death!"

Akatsuki expressed her gratitude for Tachibana Hibiki's assistance, then stood up, adjusted her posture, and prepared for battle.

"Leave this to me, Xiao Qiege. You go and help the future ones escape!"

Knowing the objective of the battle, Hibiki Tachibana refused Kirika Akatsuki's help and pointed out the more important matters at hand.

"Yes, I understand Death!"

Having regained his composure, Akatsuki realized this after being reminded by Tachibana Hibiki. He then turned around, with his back to Tachibana Hibiki, and ran as fast as he could towards the Lydian Music Academy.

Clearly, Lingyi couldn't let Xiaoqiege continue this behavior. She waved her hand, and the Zhan Dao machine in mid-air opened again, extending its tiger shark cannon barrel and aiming it at Xiaoqiege's back.

"Don't think about it!"

□C5拔<（壁在）求n匚t；（八一卜）］

Upon seeing Rei's actions, Tachibana Hibiki immediately reached out and placed both hands into the wall that had been cracked by Akatsuki Kirika's impact, forcefully breaking off a huge chunk of cement from it.

[Chest (Z) Song Power Yi Store Blind Limit]

Immediately afterwards, he used the force from his feet to his hands, forcefully throwing the wall block of a certain size into the air, where it smashed into the teleportation portal of the war knife machine that had unfolded in the air.

[Zhengxi (Credit Wodingpo's P)]

It wasn't over yet. At the same time as throwing out the debris that interfered with the Tiger Shark Cannon, Tachibana Hibiki stomped her foot and charged towards Zero. She grabbed Zero's arm as he tried to dodge with one hand, and her other fist, which had been charging up, followed up the next moment.

[Seren Se Ren Lian Ton Li O Hua Ren Xuan tl]

Then, without giving her a chance to catch her breath, Tachibana Hibiki, who was stuck to Zero's body, did not hesitate and launched a fierce Bajiquan combo at the stake in front of her. One punch after another, the powerful punches like thunder were all delivered to Zero's body.

"ha! "

Finally, with a heavy blow to the lower abdomen, Rei's body in front of Hibiki Tachibana was shattered into several deformed and broken floating units, which fell to the ground and sparked as they shattered.

"...Well done, Tachibana. It seems you've gained some insights from your special training. Your combat skills are much better than before."

Before Hibiki Tachibana could even catch her breath, new floating units gathered in the air once more, coalescing into Rei's body, which was suspended in mid-air. Rei also praised Hibiki Tachibana's progress.

Although her clone's stats weren't particularly high, the fact that she could shatter it with such a burst of power in its basic form before she could react shows that, at least in close combat, Tachibana Hibiki's skills and abilities are superior to hers.

"A clone..."

Looking up at Zero's new clone, Hibiki Tachibana realized that it was useless for her to destroy any number of clones here, and felt somewhat frustrated.

"Zero-chan, I will defeat you with all my might, and together with everyone, we will reach the final happy ending!"

But Tachibana Hibiki quickly suppressed her frustration, and boundless energy continued to surge through her body. With a smile, she made this declaration to Rei.

"Then I must respond accordingly. I admit that I underestimated you a little, thinking that conventional defenses would be enough to stop your actions."

"Command? Retreat. While maintaining basic control, recover all energy and equipment. Except for the highest priority battles, all resources will be used to recover them here to suppress the rebellion."

Looking down at the girl below whose eyes burned with joy and determination, Lingyi silently raised her arms, opened them in front of her, and made this declaration loudly.

Yes, after Tachibana Hibiki displayed such amazing willpower, and after Akatsuki Kirika and Tachibana Hibiki showed such exquisite teamwork, Rei gave up the illusion that she could achieve victory in an easier way.

She originally thought that she could stop Xiaoqiege and Finny's resistance after losing Symphogear by simply relying on noise and domination.

However, putting aside the fact that Finina seems to have regained power by using the corresponding fusion agent created from the original Symphogear, the will and cooperation shown by Tachibana Hibiki and Akatsuki Kirika just now were enough to move Rei.

Therefore, in response to the efforts of the performers, Zero made a choice to relinquish her tight control over the world, retaining only the most basic level, and wholeheartedly focusing all her attention and power on dealing with the current battle with Adam and the suppression of the performers.

..........

"Where are we? Where are we all dying right now?!"

While Lingyi had made her decision and began to gradually regroup the forces scattered around the world, Xiaoqiege was also searching for her companions while facing the pursuit of Noise.

This is something only she can do. ZABABA's double-edged emerald blade is a blade capable of cutting and shaking the soul. Even when not in her final form, its power is not high, but it is enough to shake Zero's control over the soul.

Therefore, only Xiaoqiege can liberate the musicians who are completely dominated, but the prerequisite for doing so is to find the companions who are under domination and are being hidden by Lingyi.

"That's it, I see it, it's Kohinata Death!"

Just as Xiaoqiege was rushing around haphazardly, she noticed that there was an orderly line of people heading to the shelter ahead. In the shelter line, she saw Kohinata Mirai wearing a white ribbon.

"It's just noise. Don't be afraid, everyone. Just like we've trained before, proceed to the shelter in an orderly fashion. Someone will protect us!"

But just as Xiaoqiege was about to go forward to seek her companions, a commotion broke out among the teachers and students in the group after they saw her.

“Death?”

It seems that Zero has used manipulation to confuse our image with noise.

Xiaoqiege was puzzled, but Finni quickly answered her questions.

As long as noise is mixed with her image, once Xiaoqiege gets close, the students around the player will crowd around the player and keep moving away from her.

"noise?"

Just as Finney had predicted, in Kohinata Mirai's eyes, it was a bright green humanoid noise, surrounded by countless strange noises, approaching their group seeking refuge.

"Hinata, stop standing there, let's go!"

"Tachibana ran away for some reason. I know you're worried about her, but you should seek refuge now."

Kohinata Mirai's friends also earnestly persuaded her to go to the sturdy underground shelter.

"No, it's not noise."

Ignoring the well-intentioned advice of her friends, almost the instant she saw the noise, Kohinata Mirai drew an equation in her mind.

The appearance of noise controlled by Zero here means that the enemy Zero is wary of must be here. Therefore, among those noises, there are companions who see noise because their vision is contaminated by illusions.

"We have to meet up... Hmm?"

Realizing this, Kohinata Mirai prepares to go against the tide and join them.

But obviously, Lingyi had anticipated that someone might notice. In an instant, her friends and classmates grabbed her limbs to prevent her from doing what they considered to be a suicide mission.

"Phew... Maybe this is the moment I've been waiting for. Thank you for Hibiki's guidance."

Kohinata Mirai had never felt so fortunate. Over the past few months, with the help of her best friend, she had gained some experience in close-quarters combat.

Using her body's strength, Kohinata Mirai deftly flipped over the surrounding crowd and arrived at the end of the line, her gaze fixed on the noises rushing towards her.

If Zero is controlling these noises, then they won't hurt me. Conversely, the noises that are harming me are my companions.

Having figured things out, Kohinata Mirai observed the noise's actions and quickly noticed the strange behavior of the emerald green noise. She saw the sharp blade it was extending towards her and reached out her hand.

Pain came from her fingers, followed by an indescribable pain and clarity from the depths of her soul. After closing her eyes and opening them again, Kohinata Mirai saw Akatsuki Kirika with a tired smile.

"Kohinata, you're really amazing! Even though you're still being controlled, you can still cooperate with Death!"
