The holy spear, gleaming with nine radiant lights, tore through the sky.

 

Chasing its locked-on target, it ascended toward the infinitely distant heavens, aiming straight for the highest reaches.

 

The spear pierced through all barriers, nothing could halt its advance, and the world’s boundary was as if it didn’t exist.

 

Or rather, in the face of this “Ultimate Art”, surpassing even tenth-tier magic, the so-called barriers had no effect whatsoever. It seemed that even this insurmountable chasm, which gods themselves found difficult to cross, dared not stand in the path of the holy spear shining with nine colors.

 

Thus, it pierced through the infinite void, crossing the skies and darkness, descending upon another world, ruled by the evil god.

 

Countless figures controlled by the black-and-white mask, the 【Faceless One】, lifted their heads, gazing up at the light piercing through the firmament like a world-destroying star, falling upon the opulent central temple of their world.

 

They trembled, for a supreme power radiated from the figure before them, a force so overwhelming that even these mad creatures could do nothing but kneel, consumed by a fear that rooted them to the ground.

 

Within the temple.

 

A figure stood up, wearing a tall, pointed triangular hat, with a long, impossibly large, spear-like furry brown tail extending from behind, covered in a black cloak. On the black-and-white mask on His face, an expression of “shock” and “incomprehensible delight” emerged.

 

He felt the light pursuing Him.

 

And so, He looked up at the heavens, leaving behind the unfinished chant of an ancient god.

 

“Hehehehehe~ Amazing, truly amazing! This is truly terrifying…”

 

“BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

 

The light of world destruction expanded outward from the instantly incinerated temple, spreading across the entire world…

 

……………………….

 

“Ahh…”

 

Letting out a breath of satisfaction, Miss White Fox, now wearing her mask again, looked around at her surroundings, which had returned to their original state after the holy spear tore through the sky. Floating in the air, she clapped her hands contentedly.

 

“Hmph, act tough, let’s see how tough you can be. I’ll blow you up!”

 

Besides the pleasure of sweet revenge, what filled her more was the exhilarating rush of going all out.

 

Since she had crossed over into this world, Violet had never dared to use even a single ultimate spell due to the terrifying power of such magic in the real world. But this time, she finally got her wish.

 

Her divine sense had followed Musk’s fleeing divinity to the other side, where she saw a world completely assimilated by the 【Faceless One】, twisted by the invasion of the 【God of False Faces and Ecstasy】. That gave her the confidence to unleash 【Ultimate Art: Radiance】, a holy light spell whose power could no longer be described as “immense.”

 

Although the magic’s sheer terror forced even her own attached viewpoint to retract after the explosion, making it impossible for her to see the aftermath, she figured that not even a true god would come out unscathed after taking an ultimate spell head-on.

 

Thus, this could be considered revenge for the innocent victims who perished because of the evil god. Of course, the main reason was simply that the priestess herself couldn’t accept letting the other party escape after showing off.

 

The girl turned, ready to return to the city below.

 

Suddenly, the sound of something cutting through the air came from afar.

 

Miss White Fox turned her head and saw a graceful snow-white horse with wings on its back, which reminded Violet of the unicorns from myth, symbolizing purity and light.

 

On the horse’s back sat a beautiful girl with golden hair as clear as crystal. None other than the Saintess, Yuna.

 

“Miss Dawn! Are you okay?!”

 

Shouting loudly, the golden-haired girl rode the white horse, swiftly reaching Miss White Fox’s side.

 

Violet shook her head with a smile.

 

“Miss Yuna, why do I feel more and more like you’re one of those characters in a story, a police… ahem, a guard who always shows up late, after everything’s already finished?”

 

“Huh?”

 

The Saintess looked slightly puzzled, but before she could say anything more, Violet quickly changed the subject.

 

“It’s all fine now. The black flame giant was the mastermind behind the 【Faceless One】’s attack on the city this time. I happened to run into it and took care of it. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn’t be any more incidents like this for a while.”

 

Without giving the golden-haired girl much time to digest the information, Miss White Fox continued.

 

“How is the situation at the Bright Light Temple? Were the damages from the attack severe?”

 

“Huh? Oh, because we were prepared in advance, and there weren’t that many 【Faceless One】, although it took some time, everything has been taken care of. But what was that sudden darkness…?”

 

Of course, this was what she was most concerned about. After all, even high-level magic like 8th to 10th-tier spells could cause effects similar to information pollution, enough to disturb the minds of ordinary people.

 

The sudden plunge into absolute darkness, along with the sight of the brilliant radiance of the 【Ultimate Art: Radiance】, was bound to have caught Yuna’s attention. It was impossible for her not to be curious.

 

Many citizens in the city had likely witnessed that brief scene when the barrier disappeared. The full impact was yet unknown, but Violet couldn’t restrain herself because of such concerns. She had the power and needed to use it. After all, the 【Ultimate Art: Radiance】 didn’t truly erupt in this world. It was merely a fleeting glimpse.

 

Judging by Yuna’s expression and demeanor, she seemed unaffected. Despite having witnessed a power far stronger than even a 10th-tier spell, her calmness showed that it hadn’t fazed her.

 

Perhaps as someone who had transcended-level strength, or because of her mental fortitude as a Saintess, Yuna was able to withstand it. In any case, there was no need for concern.

 

Violet had already prepared an explanation when she decided to use the 【Ultimate Art: Radiance】 against the 【God of False Faces and Ecstasy】.

 

“Even without me explaining, Yuna probably already has an idea of who intervened, right? The enemy’s background is quite extraordinary, and I couldn’t handle what was behind it alone. But… let’s keep this matter between us, okay? Remember, it’s top secret~”

 

Yes, letting her figure it out on her own was the best approach.

 

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Saintess’s expression visibly changed to one of excitement and even exhilaration, much like a young girl who had just heard news about her idol. She eagerly looked around from her horse.

 

“Is it really Her!? Miss Dawn, do you know where She is now? Can I have the honor of paying a visit? Even just hearing Her voice would…”

 

Hmm, a predictable reaction. It seems Yuna’s faith is very devout. From her expression, she must have interpreted the event as an act of a divine being, the Goddess of Light.

 

After all, the form of the 【Ultimate Art: Radiance】 and its nature as a light-based ability, combined with the incredible spectacle, make it logical to think of a deity.

 

This naturally eliminates any suspicion of Dawn herself, given that the power “Dawn” displayed was entirely different from “light”.

 

“It’s a pity. As I mentioned before, she isn’t here. What you sensed was just the aura of a powerful enemy on the same level, striking from afar. Miss Yuna should understand that some beings possess such incredible power.”

 

“So, there won’t be a meeting.”

 

“Is… is that so? You’re right… I suppose, at this moment, I, Summerfield, am not qualified…”

 

Yuna’s sudden downcast expression, and her mumbling confusion, caught Violet off guard. Just as she was about to speak, Yuna quickly composed herself, replacing her dejected and melancholic demeanor with her usual elegant and pure smile, and nodded once more.

 

“Regardless, witnessing Her intervention means that we have not been abandoned by the God. That is… more than enough.”

 

“Alright, Miss Dawn, let’s head down. So much has happened suddenly, Bright Light City is in chaos. We need to quickly address the disaster, calm the people, and restore the city to order.”
