Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

Completely ignoring Tachibana Hibiki's feelings, disregarding the wary expressions of the musicians in front of her and the weapons in her hands, Zero only had herself in her eyes at this moment, and the infinite power that she had already mastered.

A burst of azure light erupted, and a blue virtual door resembling a circuit board appeared on the Flash Blade. The next moment, the colors on the black and red Flash Blade began to change.

As the Flash Blade transformed, Zero, clad in basic armor, unleashed an intensely dazzling light, powerful enough to pierce through anything and burn the eyes.

"What? Such a bright light! What is that...?"

Blinded by the flash of light, Hibiki Tachibana covered her eyes with her hands for a moment, but the light was so strong that even with her eyes covered, it could still faintly illuminate the darkness through her palms.

Finally, the light faded, and as she recovered from the intense light, she looked back at where Lingyi had been. Then, she discovered that the other party had displayed a form she had never seen before.

It was based on the original basic armor, but more armor was added to the limbs, and the waist was extended with skirt armor that looked like a skirt flowing backward, changing the overall style from light to heavy.

Zero had never shown such a posture in previous battles, but just from her appearance and the unparalleled presence she exuded while standing on the stage, Hibiki Tachibana knew that her opponent was probably quite strong.

"However, when it comes to new forces, we also have them on our side!"

Although she was slightly flustered, Hibiki Tachibana mustered her courage and, without the slightest fear, grasped the mechanism on her chest. The other musicians did the same.

Lingyi, having changed her posture, paid no attention to the actions of the others. She simply looked silently at the girls beneath her, who had more or less been connected to her, and pressed the mechanism for the final battle.

"Draw your sword, fully activate the full-scale disarming!" X7

Without leaving any room for maneuver, everyone present immediately turned their Ignite mode output to the maximum, skipping the blackening and whitening phases and fast-forwarding directly to the berserk red state.

"I will win!"

Immediately, the battle began. Tachibana Hibiki took the lead and charged forward, with Kazanari Tsubasa and Maria providing support from the rear. Akatsuki Kirika and Tsukuyomi Tsunemi flanked to both sides looking for an opportunity, while Chris and Kohinata Mirai had already prepared their firepower.

In an instant, the pitch-black armor, accompanied by iridescent black energy, pressed down on Zero. Fists, swords, knives, sickles, saws, bullets, and light all arrived in front of Zero at the same time, determined to gamble all their strength on this one strike.

Faced with the overwhelming offensive, Zero calmly raised her eyes, holding the swords in both hands, and then gently swung them.

Then, the light pierced the darkness and overwhelmed everything.

boom

The gleaming sword energy spread across the battlefield, breaking through the attackers' encirclement and slamming them against the wall. The shimmering ripples on the wall then bounced them back to the ground.

Faced with the righteous gang-up of seven people unleashing their Ignite Mode, Zero didn't use any complicated tactics or versatile elemental powers.

What she used was simply the most basic energy crushing.

What was launched was merely a normal and simple general attack.

But with just this simple strike, she completely shattered the offensive of all the enemies she was facing. This is the power that [Sky Striker = Zero] possesses.

"Hoo... Ugh—"

After swinging the sword, Zero, who had caught her breath slightly, frowned slightly, and her bright white [Sky Striker Princess = Zero] armor flickered with a few sparks.

"In the end, it still can't be fully unlocked. Even if it's forcibly activated by stacking string boosts, the final result is still that it can't bring out the full functionality of this armor..."

Lingyi, who had straightened up again, raised her hand and looked at the tiny sparks of electricity flickering on it, feeling slightly disappointed.

The proper activation of this [Sky Striker Princess = Zero] outfit is still lacking some conditions that Zero cannot accept at present. Theoretically speaking, Zero cannot use the power of this armor without these conditions.

However, people can come up with solutions, and after a long period of research and analysis, Lingyi finally came up with a method.

By using the [Sword Activation? Combo] to absorb the string enhancements of seven billion people to gain immense power, and then piling this power into the core.

In this way, Zero was able to forcibly open the [Sky Striker Assassin's Creed: Double-Twin Infinity Gate], and thus successfully and incorrectly activated the [Sky Striker Princess = Zero] armor, which contained the ultimate power within Sky Striker.

Although this method of activating armor not only requires an enormous amount of energy, but also does not allow for the full utilization of power.

However, even an incompletely activated armor, with the support of massive energy, still possesses power surpassing that of elemental armor.

"Moreover... even this level of power is sufficient for the current battle."

Ignoring the creaking sounds coming from the armor, and looking at the few people lying on the ground with their mouths open and eyes closed, Lingyi gripped the long sword in her hands and took one or two steps down.

"I'm not reconciled! I've become so much stronger, yet I still can't catch up to that guy... How can I admit it!"

Chris propped herself up and watched Zero walk towards her step by step. She raised her magic bow and pulled the trigger.

However, the attack it launched only caused an explosion near Zero, without harming her in the slightest.

"I won't give up, and I absolutely will not give up on saving Rei-chan!"

She struggled to her feet, even though she knew the gap between her and the other person was insurmountable. But no matter how big the gap was, it wouldn't make Tachibana Hibiki give up on the idea of ​​saving someone.

With a swing of her fists, her body transformed into flames, and her jet-black claw armor reached out towards Zero, who was walking towards her step by step.

"...always like an unkillable mantis, but even so, this time it's over."

The flames illuminated Lingyi's cheeks, her tightly clenched hands wielding sharp blades, flashing with light. The charging flames met their Waterloo under the even greater force, and the black armor was stripped away in the explosion, revealing her vulnerable body clad in a school uniform.

"Tachibana y//*ue-Already the ball is dead, the fins are on the dam!"

Seeing Tachibana Hibiki being beaten to the point of disintegration, Kazanari Tsubasa called out to her in concern, but before she could get a response, the crimson blade filled her entire field of vision.

"Even Miss Tsubasa... she endured so much pain to gain such power, why is she dying now..."

In the blink of an eye, the Symphogears of the two people were destroyed, which Xiaoqiege found hard to accept.

"Probably because Zero-chan gains power much faster than us, Kiri-chan, let's do it again, this time with a chorus."

Having barely managed to maintain her figure, Tsukuyomi and her companions regrouped and started afresh.

"Unfortunately, my patience has run out."

"Turn, change the song, be careful... *splat*"

But before Tsukuyomi could do anything, Zero, who was walking slowly, quickly arrived in front of the two of them. With a wave of her blade, crimson energy destroyed the two of them, along with Maria, who was trying to assist in the defense.

"Ugh, aren't you going to do it yet? Do you really have to make me wait this long?"

After dealing with the three people, Lingyi closed her eyes, her tone tinged with helplessness, as if she were speaking to someone.

Just then, the missile arrows launched by the longbow and the black light gathered from the mirror surface bombarded her as she closed her eyes, creating a sense of oppression from the side.

However, without even glancing at it, he casually waved a light barrier in the direction the attack came from, engulfing the attack and disarming the two girls who were shooting from a distance.

Thus, the group that came to attack this way ultimately met their defeat despite Zero's terrifying battlefield dominance.

However, in the end, the real enemies to be concerned about have never been these Symphogear players whose limits can be seen at a glance, who are equipped with a demonic sword of unknown origin.

If it were just a matter of facing these armored individuals, there would be no need for Zero to forcibly activate the [Sky Striker Princess = Zero] set; she could simply exhaust their power step by step.

"Since you're not going to strike first, then I'll take the initiative. [Flash Blade Technique? Storm Deflection]"

Seeing that the enemy was slow to appear, Lingyi pointed her sword upwards, ready to seize the initiative in this new round of battle without any hesitation.

Upon receiving the order, the weaponry belonging to the Saten Armor, the long-barreled electromagnetic cannon transformed from the Flash Blade, appeared beside Zero.

Immediately, emerald green energy, crackling with green electricity, began to gather in its cannon barrel, aiming at the empty area in the sky.

As the ultimate weapon, in addition to its exceptionally impressive stats, the Sky Striker Princess = Zero is equipped with the Sky Striker Assassin's Creed Dual-Twin Infinity Gate, which also has the ability to create and use any Sky Striker weapon that has been recorded on the blueprints.

In other words, while serving as armor, Sky Striker = Zero is also an armory that continuously produces new equipment. No prior preparation is needed; as long as the armor is worn, all Sky Striker units and armor weapons can be created.

With the armor now almost completely destroyed by Adam, the power of [Sky Striker = Zero] is even more useful.

The light cannon, crackling with electric sparks, bombarded from below, seemingly about to shoot straight into the sky.

However, in mid-air, this beam of light encountered a complex alchemical array that suddenly appeared and clashed with it.

In the end, while destroying the barrier, it also exhausted its own energy.

"Finally out. I thought you'd hide in your turtle shell forever after seeing my power, alchemist, Carol Mars Dingheim."

Zero was not surprised that her attack was blocked.

But when I looked up at the sky, at the shattered void, and at the blonde girl... no, I should say the figure of a mature woman emerging from that void.

After noticing that the musicians had partnered with an alchemist named Carol, Zero had been wary of her movements. She didn't believe that Carol's help to the musicians was simply a kind act of charity.

Based on her understanding of these alchemists, the vast majority of them were madmen who sacrificed a great deal for a certain goal.

"Even though there was a spatial barrier between us, we were still discovered ahead of time... No wonder they're the ones who caused us so much trouble."

Her hand, which had blocked the attack, trembled slightly, and Carol once again felt the difficulty of overcoming the enemy she was about to defeat.

"In the end, it's impossible for me not to notice such a large spatial movement. My research on phase space is no less than that of you alchemists."

"Also, whatever your thoughts are, since you're here, it would be even better if you could leave your life here as a greeting gift. [Flash Blade Technique? Rekindled Flames]."

The long sword in her hand burst into crimson flames, and Zero swung the blazing sword forcefully into the air.

"?!!"

A sense of crisis enveloped Carol. A verdant magic circle appeared beside her, and the power of the gale propelled her body, causing it to shift.

In this way, she narrowly avoided the crimson fire blade that emerged from the spatial portal that suddenly opened behind her.

"Such a swift and sneaky attack, they really want to eliminate me... Well then, let me show you what I'm different from before, how I use those naive fools to complete projects, to dissect and analyze all things in the world—the Apocalypse of All Things!"

Watching Zero step out of the mechanism, Carol's resentment towards her and joy at completing the task grew stronger. No need for further words, this was the final stage to showcase her centuries-old wish.

P.S. Good evening.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Song of Annihilation

Hundreds of years ago, there was a pair of alchemists, a master and a woman, who lived together and traveled across the European continent.

By chance, they came across a village ravaged by a plague, and the father used his knowledge of alchemy to cure the plague.

Generally speaking, he should expect gratitude from the villagers based on the most basic idea.

However, this medieval European village was not like that.

The villagers regarded his alchemy as a "miracle" and, after some incomprehensible thought process, sent him to the stake.

From that moment on, hatred remained in the girl's heart.

A young alchemist girl vows to complete the task left to her by her dying father: "to understand the world." She will do this by dissecting and analyzing the entire world, while simultaneously destroying everything in the world that is called a "miracle."

Now, after hundreds of years of preparation, the girl who has achieved immortality by replacing her body with an artificial human is fully prepared with all the knowledge and resources. All she needs to do is pull the trigger, and the "Mirror City," which analyzes all things in the world, will be activated at that moment to help her complete the Apocalypse.

[Alas, ^ Chasing Song - Li Xin - Li Yi Xun Ma]

[Yi Lu Fu Ren Xue Fan Tu Zhan Bi tl]

As the stirring music began, Carol sang a song.

As she chanted, an extremely powerful string amplification suddenly burst forth from her body, generating an energy storm around her.

"Hmm—"

Although she anticipated that the opponent would have new trump cards when they reappeared, Lingyi did not expect that the opponent's preparations would be of such a high level.

[Micromolecular Pediatric Killer T Anatomy LzT]

Energy gathered around Carol, forming a yellow halo that appeared around her. Two light alchemy arrays appeared around her at the same time. Then, her gaze fell on Lingyi, who was not far away from her.

[Rebellion will lead to eternal calamity and benevolence will end.

The massive beams of light converged into a torrent that surged towards Lingyi.

"[Zero space]!"

But then, blue and white light flashed around Zero, and four blue shield-shaped armors appeared out of thin air, blocking the attack.

"【Liaoli】"

At the same time, Lingyi subtly moved her mind, and eight fiery wings composed of flashing blades appeared out of thin air, rushing out and slashing towards Carol, who was suspended in mid-air, like floating swords carrying blazing flames.

［?SLuORSi…The universe is so drunk

…too casually trimming the horse]

Faced with this, Carol waved her hands, and eight alchemical light shields appeared simultaneously from their respective positions, blocking the flame slashes from eight directions for her.

[Genocide & genocide]

While resisting the attacks, Carol continued to sing. Her goal was never to defeat Zero in this place, but to achieve her own objective.

A single drop of blood wounds a three-year-old monk; he struggles to scratch, but cannot hope for a horse.

As she sang, the Mirror City behind her, a key element of the Almighty Apocalypse, underwent a transformation. All the mechanisms were activated, and the entire castle, like a tuning fork, flickered and resonated, echoing Carol's song.

[After the earthquake, terror 1; the world collapsed 41 times and people went blind]

This then brought about an even stronger energy amplification, which converged from all parts of the castle and gathered in the tuning fork-like structure at the bottom.

[Love song]

As the lyrics set the tone, under the influence of Carol's world-destroying song, this massive floating city emitted an irresistible and unparalleled energy wave, which blasted directly towards the modified territory owned by Zero below the castle.
