Kiana, holding Wendy in her arms, frowned slightly as she watched the swarm of Titan Mecha materialize around them. Then, remembering exactly who she was holding, a peculiar expression crossed her face.
Aren't you afraid she might suddenly snap and slaughter everyone on this ship...? But I have no intention of handing over someone I'm holding—
With that thought, Kiana glared at the approaching Titan Troops.
"Hmph... Do you really think so? I'll never hand over Miss Wendy to you. I suggest you obediently release control over Bronya and spare yourself a beating, you old hag, Cocolia."
"You brat! You think you're so clever. Who are you calling an old hag?!"
"Hmph, whoever answers first is the one!"
Kiana retorted without hesitation, thoroughly infuriating Cocolia, who was hiding aboard the Aerial Battleship.
"Miss Wendy, if you and your companions return peacefully with us, we'll ensure their safety. What do you say?"
Having failed to intimidate Kiana and thoroughly enraged, Cocolia shifted her strategy, setting her sights on the hidden boss in the white-haired girl's arms.
"Wendy, don't listen to that old woman's sweet talk—we'll protect you!" Kiana said urgently, noticing Cocolia's attention shifting to Wendy.
"Uh... why? Miss Kiana... why are you so concerned about me, a complete stranger you've never met before? I can't even help you right now," Wendy said, bewildered, looking at the girl holding her.
"Because you're my friend now! Isn't it natural to protect your friends?!" The white-haired Knight Princess replied without hesitation.
"...Friend?"
Ah, you sinful woman... is this what they call effortless flirting? The Kaslanas are truly terrifying.
Muninn, who had been slacking off and watching the show since Cocolia's Titan Troops appeared, shook her head as Wendy was instantly won over by the white-haired Knight's few words.
"Well, have you made up your mind, Miss Wendy?" Cocolia's confident voice rang out again, her tone radiating absolute certainty.
"I... of course I agree! Come play with Wendy!"
—Please, my other self, give that annoying old hag a good beating!—
The initially hesitant voice transformed into a lighthearted, youthful tone at the end of the sentence.
"What?!"
"You're Miss Wendy... Wait, you're a Herrscher Person?!" Kiana stared in disbelief at the green-haired girl who had broken free from her embrace and was now floating in the air.
"Endless desire burns in my heart... Judgment is just, but mercy is not."
The storm that had been tearing everything apart converged here, yet perfectly avoided Kiana and Mei. The Titan Troops were mercilessly tossed about and shredded by the tempest.
"Despair kneels, begging for destruction; my heart's hatred exceeds my power to express it—"
"You petty fools who covet the power of the gods... do you truly understand how utterly insignificant you are?"
Muninn watched as Wendy revealed her true nature and unleashed her fury, humming a sacred verse. She no longer bothered to conceal her own identity.
"Wait, Miss Muninn, you're also—" Mei stared in disbelief at the "ordinary person" she had been protecting.
"We are the approaching storm, awakening the dark clouds imprisoned within their cage."
At that moment, the storm coalesced into a tangible form—
"We are the True Name of conquest and war, born beneath the Divine Throne and blessed beyond measure!"
"We are Agents of the Unrecorded God, extensions of her will—the Irresistible Judgment walking the earth, unstoppable and absolute!"
The silver-haired and green-haired girls floated in the air, chanting in harmony.
A single spark ignited amidst the dark clouds and howling winds—a Great Sword utterly familiar to Kiana materialized in the silver-haired girl's hand.
"Wait! Shamash...?!"
The white-haired Knight's arm trembled slightly. She felt the situation had spiraled completely out of control.
"Greetings, humans. I am Muninn, the Monarch of Memory who commands history and the past."
"Come play with me! I'm Wendy, the Unfettered Wind who summons storms and destruction."
The silver-haired girl activated the crimson Great Sword. The Heavenly Punishment Blade, reborn from ancient historical memories, pierced the heavens. With a gentle downward sweep, she aimed it at the distant Anti-Entropy Fleet.
The warships touched by the blade melted like butter. The crew members vanished into nothingness without a single cry, leaving behind not even ashes.
"Initiate Quantum Jump! Retrieve the Titan Legion and Bronya! The fleet must turn back immediately—"
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
Cocolia's face, which had momentarily glowed with the promise of victory, now lost its light again. Standing on the bridge, she shouted frantically, her composure shattered.
"High-intensity Honkai reaction detected, rapidly approaching... My God! She's here! We're under attack!"
"Come play with Wendy~ Weren't you the ones who invited me?"
The green-haired girl's cheerful voice carried on the wind to the ears of the Anti-Entropy Fleet members. Commanding the storm, she meticulously peeled away the armor of the battleships layer by layer, as if planning to slowly dissect them down to their keels.
"Fight back! Why aren't we fighting back?! Where's our weapons officer?!" someone shouted from the bridge, panic in their voice.
"Our turrets were stripped bare long ago... What weapons do we even have left to fight back with?!"
The weapons officer, once the fleet's last hope, offered a bitter smile, reminding his colleagues of the recent catastrophe.
...The girl, flying at Mach speed, was now rampaging through the Anti-Entropy Fleet, bringing them true annihilation.

Kiana and Mei had no energy left to worry about Bronya, who was retreating with the Titan Legion. They nervously gathered around Muninn, who had landed back on the ground.
"Miss Muninn, are you...?" Mei began tentatively, trying to gauge the silver-haired girl's condition.
"Shhh—" Muninn raised a finger, gesturing for silence, then turned her gaze toward the Anti-Entropy Remnants, who were already fleeing.
"Running away? Just moments ago they were brimming with such bravado. Heh heh heh."
"Hmph, just a bunch of pathetic, clownish fools after all—let me give you one final grand farewell gift..."
The silver-haired girl dispersed the Great Sword in her hands, raised both arms above her head, and began chanting loudly—
"The Day of Judgment has arrived! His sword flashes like lightning, His horn echoes above the Holy City! His armies crush the heretics, His Heavenly Kingdom descends upon the earth—!!"
As the final words of the hymn faded, Muninn suddenly collapsed to the ground before Kiana's eyes, like a puppet with its strings cut.
"Miss Muninn?!"
Kiana and Mei stared in bewilderment at the girl, whose health had plummeted to critical levels in an instant.
"Ha... recreating the Venerable God's earthly reflection... even just from a mortal's memory was too much for me..."
"Still... it was fun enough—heeheehee, wishing you stable blood pressure, Miss Cocolia."
The silver-haired girl lay on the ground, gazing at the distant warships with a delighted smile before losing consciousness.
Lmao. Died of laughter.jpg
"...She just fainted???"
Mei and Kiana exchanged bewildered glances.

"Hmm...? What's she doing..."
A perplexed voice, belonging to the real body of a certain girl, drifted from beneath the Golden Tree.
