Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

After getting off the car, Tsukuyomi and Akatsuki saw Zeke fighting with four other people, and the circular pit around him that looked like it had been dug out of thin air, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Commander, we are in position. What's the situation?"

Without hesitation, Maria, who had just arrived near the battlefield, immediately contacted SONG headquarters.

[Currently engaged in battle with the rampaging Zero, who has unleashed a gigantic armor capable of devouring and growing. The situation is dire; she must be defeated as quickly as possible.]

Commander Fengming briefly explained the situation to Maria.

"Okay, I understand. We'll get there quickly too... What's going on? That armored vehicle is emitting a red light?"

[A massive spatial fluctuation has been detected; she is attempting spatial teleportation!]

Before Maria could finish replying, the situation changed in an instant, and Maria learned the result of the change from the communication.

"We must stop her quickly... cough cough, if we let Miss Zero escape in this state... cough cough."

Elfne wanted to warn her, but her body was already nearing its limit.

"To stop it means to hand the device over to Chris and launch a long-range attack... But at this distance, is it really possible to deliver it before then?"

Realizing the current situation, Maria pondered what she should do now.

"...Maria, leave her to us, Death!"

At that critical moment, Xiaoqiege stepped forward and took the briefcase from Maria's hand.

"There's no time to rely on Senior Chris. Now, only we can do this."

Tsukuyomi had already grasped the pendant, quickly dressed, and unfolded the Forbidden Moon Wheel.

"Elphnein said that for this to work, we need to go to the surrounding area, but Zero obviously won't let us move Death."

Having also completed her attire, Xiaoqiege, carrying her briefcase, boarded the Forbidden Moon Wheel.

"It's more reliable to deliver them to Sister Lingyi in person than to rely on remote attacks."

Tsukuyomi Chō made preparations and expressed her earnestness.

As the two of them said, there was no time to consider safer and more reliable solutions at this point; all they could do now was to make the best of what they had.

"You... I understand. Be careful, and I will pave the way for you."

Seeing the determination in their eyes and their mutual reliance, Maria knew that no further words were needed, and the silver bowl was placed on her body.

"Draw your sword? Daines Reeb!" X3

Thus, with the explosive force from drawing the sword and Maria's cooperation, Tsukuyomi and Akatsuki, riding on the Silver Rail, quickly crossed the sky and approached the Zeke Armor in the center.

.........

Back to the present, the two of them have now reached the highest point, and their eyes are now on the massive armored head in front of them.

"Seriously, that's huge! I never expected Zero to have such a powerful trump card, Death."

"You can sense the indescribable sadness in Lingyi from this."

Facing the pitch-black armor, both of them had different feelings, but no matter what they felt, it wouldn't affect what they were going to do next.

Upon entering the area shrouded in red light, the Moon Wheel was no longer needed for propulsion; instead, a powerful thrust was required.

"Let's go together, Chess Sauce."

After putting away the forbidden moon wheel, Tsukuyomi looked to her side.

"Okay, let's go save Zero from Death!"

Returning her gaze, Xiaoqiege indicated that she was ready.

Thus, the chorus began. With the support of the chorus, the combination of the sun and the moon unleashed an even more powerful string amplification, which at one point affected the current space and attracted the attention of the Zeke armor.

Although she didn't understand their actions, she still aimed her giant floating cannon at them, preparing to shoot them down before they got close.

"Go all out and break through Death!"

"Let's cut the sauce together!"

Adjusting their posture, they aimed downwards from the air, their feet transforming into a circular saw and a dagger, respectively, and pressed down on the clearly defined core area.

In an instant, their combined attack broke through the floating cannons and struck the core armor head-on.

However, they were unable to break through its core, and the large cracks they created were repaired almost immediately, but that was never their purpose in coming here.

"Try this, the power Elfne entrusted to us: Death!"

Clinging to the protrusions of the armor, Xiaoqiege opened the briefcase in her hand, revealing a dense array of neatly arranged red crystals inside.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he smashed it all at the core of the armor.

--boom!

A small storm appeared, but its impact gradually expanded. The originally stable transmission became flickering and uncertain under the impact.

"Was it successful?"

Gazing at the bizarre scene before her, Chris stopped using her smoking machine gun to provide cover and asked a question instinctively.

"Judging from their posture, they must have succeeded."

In Maria's gaze, the body of the Zeke armor, which had been steadily shifting and whose existence had become unclear, solidified again amidst the chaotic storm.

"But... in this situation, what will happen to Tiao-chan and Qie-ge-chan?"

However, although the tactic was successful, Tachibana Hibiki felt a sense of unease.

Because the storm not only blocked Zeke's space jump, but also swallowed Xiaoqiege and Tsukuyomi, making it unclear what was going on inside.

.........

My body has lost all feeling.

As the red crystal shattered, something like a blade pierced through his body.

Unable to make a sound, feeling... many things I couldn't understand vanished in an instant.

Pain swept through my entire body, and I felt as if I were falling.

No, it is indeed falling.

Like an egg falling to the ground, the impact, neither too big nor too small, shook the whole body.

"Cut... sauce."

Hearing a familiar voice, he turned around and saw his cherished friend.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the other person's feet had disappeared, and their upper and lower body were covered in lacerations.

Do not understand.

Why does her figure look so miserable? Why does she have such a worried expression?

"Hang in there."

She seemed to be saying something. What's wrong with me? No, what's wrong with us?

"I remember now, Death..."

Once she regained her senses, Xiaoqiege realized what had happened.

The storm that erupted from the shattered red crystal burst forth in an instant, almost tearing her body apart.

At the critical moment, Tsukuyomi took the hit in her place, but at the cost of both of them suffering the same level of injury.

"Are you alright, Death?"

I wanted to hold the other person's hand, but found that the hand had disappeared.

"Still alive, cut sauce."

Tsukuyomi said that.

Her condition is equally bad right now; it's a miracle she can still breathe.

"So, we succeeded, we succeeded... we left Zero here, Death."

Having confirmed the state of Tsukuyomi, Akatsuki Kirika raised her head slightly, looking at the enormous shadow looming in front of her.

They realized that their efforts had not been in vain, and that the people they respected and were grateful to had been successfully retained here.

"Yes, it worked. Now we can defeat Sister Lingyi here."

Tsukuyomi Chō also affirmed this fact.

And so, a sense of joy welled up in their hearts.

"I'm sure Ms. Tachibana and the others won't waste this opportunity."

Thinking this, Xiaoqiege relaxed and prepared to wait for the battle to end.

"Cut the sauce, run!"

However, the call from her friend beside her pulled her back to reality.

Looking upwards again, Xiaoqiege's pupils widened.

Above the two, four floating cannons were poised to fire, ready to completely obliterate them.

It seems their actions have aroused Zero's greatest hatred, and once she recovers, her first priority is to eliminate the two completely.

"Tune in, will we die together?"

The shadow of death loomed over Xiaoqiege's heart.

"Don't say things like that, Cheese..."

Tsukuyomi wanted to cheer herself up, but she also knew this deep down.

"But that's how battles are, isn't it? One slip-up, and defeat means certain death. That's normal."

"Yes, we already knew that. It was with this knowledge that we participated in the battle, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

The red light had fully charged up and was about to bombard them.

At this moment, it seemed that both of them felt a strange sense of acceptance and relief about their impending death.

"That's not a normal death!"

However, this was not the case; at least for Xiaoqiege, she could not accept this outcome at all.

"Cut the sauce?"

Tsukuyomi, whose eyes were already downcast and whose heart was filled with sorrow, was drawn to Akatsuki's words.

"The fight is for a happy life. It's not the happiest ending if anyone falls behind. If we give up here, then everything we've done so far has been in vain—Death!"

"Sister Zero definitely doesn't want to realize she killed us when she wakes up, so we absolutely cannot die here!"

With great effort, Du Dao approached. Even with only one hand remaining, Xiao Qiege still stood up to face the oncoming floating cannons.

"Kiri-chan... Ah, that's how it is. We've already tried our best, we can't give up. I also don't want to hurt Rei-nee anymore, I don't want to add any more trauma to her heart."

"Let's do it together, Kiri-chan! We absolutely have to survive, even if it means struggling!"

Encouraged by Xiaoqiege, Yuedu Diao also reluctantly perked up, and the yo-yo appeared from his hand, expanded, and transformed into a combined circular saw.

“Death!”

Having understood the meaning of Tsukuyomi, Akatsuki-chan's scythe transformed into a swastika-shaped swirl blade, which combined with Tsukuyomi's circular saw to form a giant swirl blade disc.

[Forbidden Combination with Type B? Deity]!

The two combined their attack, displayed with their broken bodies, collided violently against the storm of energy.

"Ha, ha—the body is surging with power, Death."

"I didn't understand the principles, but I survived."

His body was enveloped in emerald green and pink steam, his body temperature soared to a terrifying level, and at the same time, the excruciating pain inside his body persisted.

However, they won. Their combined attack broke through the floating cannons' offensive, reversing the situation, and the aftershocks also shattered the shoulder armor of Zeke's armor.

P.S. Good evening.

Chapter Sixty: The Brutal Battle

"That attack was a harmonizing song, thank goodness, they're still alive."

Noticing the combined attack from the two, Hibiki Tachibana realized that they were still alive.
