She nods silently. —That is the very reason she accepted the Title.
[Stop! That is… that is a fate more terrifying than death! Stop! Do you know how much time it took to gain that power?! To hold such omnipotence in your hands, and yet you—!]
Aia grows only more certain at Goetia's warning.
—Ah. I knew it. They are…
『Death exists in all things; it is a law of life that can never be overturned.
Yet, it is never "the void."
The footprints of a life lived are always passed down; new life sprouts and is woven anew.
Death is not something to fear, to mourn, or to turn away from.
It is something to acknowledge, to accept, and to run through with all one's might.
Therefore—Death is not a severance.
It is the ritual by which we entrust hope and the future to the lives that follow.』
The world reacts to her words. The raging winds weave together, resonating with Aia's soul. The Princess and her Grand Soul shine with a brilliance that outshines any treasure. —All of it, for the sake of a perfect conclusion.
『I sing of the Sovereign.』
Space itself shudders under the pressure. Every Demon God feels the shockwave.
『Connections meet and are woven.』
For Mash and Rikka, the gale becomes a warm, gentle breeze, soothing their wounds and dulling their pain.
『History is crafted, transcending death.』
The seven-colored pressure roars—a storm that kicks aside all grief and pain. A blessing of wind flowing through a beloved world.
『Life is to be born into this world.』
There—she stakes the entirety of her "Grand" rank.
The seat at the summit she reached, the throne of the strongest, the celestial height that everyone dreams of—she sacrifices it all to her answer.
『Transcending death and severance, embracing love and hope—』
All of it, for the sake of a past like the stars, a brilliant future, and the precious "now."
All of it, to bid farewell to tragedy and lamentation—
[Why?! Why would you make such a decision—!!]
For the sake of this—
『A journey to sing of the preciousness of life—』
The Princess solemnly reveals her answer—
Her Noble Phantasm. The Sovereign Strike.
Its name is—
『Enuma Elish: The Star of Creation that Illuminates the Human Order』
The strike is unleashed, carrying the full weight of a Grand Saint Graph. The strongest, most supreme, ultimate storm.
[O… OOOOOOOOOH…!!]
Aia's answer of the soul slams into Goetia.
It was for this that she reached omnipotence.
It was for this that she reached the rank of Grand.
And that glory, that ultimate state, that absolute power—she lets it go now.
[OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—!!!!!!!!!]
To strip Goetia of his omnipotence.
To shatter Goetia's immortality.
To carve out a future for those she loves.
And—
『—Goetia.』
To show a path that omnipotence could never reach—
『Thank you…』
To show the answer to life itself.
The seven-colored wind fills the entire temple.
A blessing for those who fight for the future.
A single gift for the Demon God Pillars writhing in sorrow.
Aia's Grand Title and Goetia's Omnipotence…
Both vanish, becoming the foundation for the future.
[—…You say… "Thank you"…?]
Goetia's omnipotence had vanished without a trace. The majesty and authority he held moments ago had completely evaporated.
But that wasn't all. —The union was unraveling.
