As Philip extended his arms and pointed his hands at Saykrandae, blood dripped from his scalp and to his forehead
Changing the fate of an entire world is taking a massive toll on him. His limbs, torso, and head were shaking and he felt like his soul is being pushed back
Sai still can't move and just watched Philip silently while alternating her vision to Saykrandae
It was then that Philip's golden eyes flashed faintly. He pulled his left arm into a fist and clenched his right hand that is pointed to Saykrandae. He flicked his left arm back and pointed his two fingers at the planet then he snapped
That was when the heavy weather and dense clouds slowly dissipated. The abnormal wind currents became calm and disappeared. Slowly, the land and seas of Saykrandae is being shown to Philip's eyes
He used Weather Manipulation because he's getting irritated in seeing a blanket of clouds and flashes of light from lightning
After the thick sheet of clouds disappeared, Philip used Definite Sightan Clairvoyance to watch everything unfold on the surface
His golden eyes shone and his consciousness went to the Fate Timeline
After he went to the Fate Timeline, the area to his right is the section where the Fate of Saykrandae is branched from the main gold line. From the single gold sphere, five white sphere separated from the gold sphere and orbited the gold sphere like a planetary system
Philip closed his eyes and understood what he is supposed to do. He returned to reality and strained his eyes to find what he is supposed to find in the surface
This is a race against time for him and he needed to hurry up because he wasn't happy at what he saw at the end of the branching golden line that is the Fate of Saykrandae

After several minutes to less than an hour have passed, the tides of the battles has changed and some has already been concluded in just a short amount of time
Last Hope has been ravaged by loose demons and monsters. Over half of the human army has died protecting the civilians. The castle was burning, the walls has been broken down, and houses were decimated
A few dragons was also taken down by the valiant efforts of the underground mercenaries and humans that has been hiding their potential. Unfortunately, they died along the process or they were ambushed by more demons as they were weakened from the battle
First Princess Corleona has been doing a great job in protecting Second Princess Clara from the infiltrating demons and monsters in the castle
King Porti has also died because he sacrificed himself when Clara was about to get stabbed by a crazed gargoyle. The maid, Viz, has also been surviving and following the princesses to act as their shield
It was then that Viz's blue eyes shone and a diamond shaped light on the back of her right palm shone. None of them noticed it
Smoke covered the sky of Last Hope and screams of dying humans filled the area. Growls and roars of the demons also flooded the area while Last Hope is being shone down with light from the Sola
Meanwhile, at the west side of Last Hope, mountains upon mountains of goblin carcasses stacked upon each other. There are also a few dragon corpses laying around. Braudain stood atop at one of the tallest carcass mountains with his polearm on his right hand. He's using his polearm as a support as his whole body is covered with blood
Braudain has scratches all over his body, his left eye is missing, and a few of his teeth was torn off. Some of his fingers were cut off and there are gaping holes across his left arm. He also definitely won't be able to make an offspring as his son was cut off
He breathed heavily and deeply as he faced the Goblin Menace with a huge wave of goblins still coming, along with some undead and dragons
Braudain clenched his legs and right arm and he lifted the polearm to his left in a swinging stance. His right arm bulged and Polearm Energy scattered around him towards the polearm
In an instant, the polearm grew larger and longer and he immediately swung the polearm towards the Goblin Menace and the wave of goblins
Just then, all of the heads of the goblins popped in a gruesome manner. Some of them had their limbs utterly snapped and some had their torsos brutally torn off. The Goblin Menace had the most damage with his head being warped to the point that he became paper
Some undead were crushed and some dragons had their stomachs and throats torn. Braudain then fell down from the momentum of his swing and his wrist became broken. He let go of his polearm and flew a few hundred meter away, hitting another dragon and killing it
He used his personal technique called Polearm Dominance to dominate anything in front of him. He failed in executing his personal technique because his body is unfit to perform it, especially since that his balance is off
As he lied down on the side of the mountain of corpses, he felt the ground rumble underneath him, specifically the mountain itself. Braudain looked at one of the heads of the goblins and he saw that the eye socket has a sheen of red light
The mountain of corpses then started to move and the goblins that died came to life once more, including the dragons and the Goblin Menace
Braudain ran down the mountain in panick and looked at the sky. He saw the Monarch Lich looking down on him with regretful eyes and then flying away
Braudain ran while limping as the mindless undead goblins were running after him. The Goblin Menace is faster than the rest and he shoved all the goblins aside to catch Braudain. He wanted revenge and he's thirsting for it
Braudain lost hope as he neared the walls of Last Hope. He was about to jump abovr it to call for help when suddenly, the undead goblin and dragon army was cut and sliced into millions of small pieces, almost like dust. The wind picked up the undead dust and carried it away from Last Hope
Braudain became confused and breathed heavily. He didn't waste any time and climbed up the castle while killing small fry on the way. He's seeking refuge from Clara to heal him
~~~
On the south side of Last Hope, the battle was already over several seconds ago
With the combined efforts of Lenard as the Spear Grandmaster and Povia as the Legendary Archer, they managed to hold off against the demon and tempest hounds and wolves. But they struggled against the dragons, especially when the wolves, hounds, and dragons were being revived from the dead by the Monarch Lich, who is flying around Last Hope
The Orc Disaster is also constantly eating the dragons, hounds, wolves, and their undead versions to power up. At that point, both Lenard and Povia had no chance against the Orc Disaster
The Orc Disaster grew bigger and larger that it's almost comparable to a titan. Lenard sacrificed himself to take down the Orc Disaster but he ended up getting eaten instead. At this result, the Orc Disaster gained the ability to wield a spear and it became a Spear Master
Without Lenard, Povia was overrun by the undead hounds and wolves and she was eaten into pieces until she was no more. The hounds and wolves that ate Povia, jumped towards the Orc Disaster to be eaten and to empower him. The Orc Disaster gained the ability to create magic arrows and he launched it towards Last Hope, killing more humans in the process
The Orc Disaster slowly marched near the walls of Last Hope and he is about to enter the settlement
~~~
At the north side of Last Hope is the most destructive and violent place
The Succubus Queen has already been mutilated and dismembered to death and her mysteriously censored and unrecognizable body is scattered on the ground somewhere, alongside the dead crazed and seduced demons that are currently turning undead. Even with the Monarch Lich's power, he couldn't turn the Succubus Queen into an undead
Dantall is at his peak as a rampaging berserker that destroys anything in his path and cannot differentiate a friend to a foe
After he decimated the crazed and seduced army of the Succubus Queen, he went inside Last Hope and killed a quarter of the settlement and several more humans
It was then that Dantall was attracted towards the south side and he took one violent jump to reach there
The one billion army of Succubus Queen has turned to undead and at this point, the Monarch Lich has the most number of army that he commands
~~~
At the east side of Last Hope, the destruction and violence is comparable to the north side
Cleo has been killing titans left and right but she can't put a dent on the Devil Titan, while Gorde has been doing work kjlling the sea demons and monsters that the Oceanic Serpent is throwing at him
A few minutes later, Gorde sacrificed himself and created a Sanctuary of Deep Frozen Heart and froze all the water, sea demons and monsters, and the Oceanic Serpent in place. The sanctuary has a gigantic ice crystal that originated from him and penetrated the atmosphere. The area of effect almost reached Last Hope. It almost froze most of the titans but the Devil Titan still broke through because only a part of his legs were frozen
Gorde is like a frozen saint deep in the frozen crystal, unmoving, as his hair and clothes is suspended in idle animation. This ancient magic is his last resort in protecting someone he loved the most
The reason that Gorde did this is because Cleo was killed by several titans and sea kings as she was slapped around and dozen of tridents were stabbed into her small body
Her body fell towards Last Hope and into the castle. Clara, Corleona, Braudain, and Viz witnessed Cleo's body plop down on the hole on the wall of their room
The light from Cleo's eyes disappeared after she saw Corleona and Clara safe. She slightly smiled as blood dripped from her mouth and she breathed her last breath. Blood spilled from her stomach and chest and driped down the outside wall, where everyone could see it
It was then that a burst of energy exploded from Viz. Her blue eyes shone brighter and the diamond light on the back of her palm glowed even brighter
The blue diamond detached itself from the back of her palm and floated abover her palm as blue strings wriggled around it
From the blue diamond, a light shone down on Cleo's dead body and pulled something from her. After that, the blue diamond changed color and a part of it turned white
The witnesses, Clara, Corleona, Braudain, and Viz herself was confused as to what happened. Apparently, Viz has this mysterious power within her that no one knows about
~~~
A few minutes earlier, Polem and Diaphthorá came to each other and faced one another
"Legendary Warrior Polem..."
"Demon Lord Diaphthorá..."
Polem and Diaphthorá exchanged pleasantries and mentioned each other's names
Without speaking to each other, both of them stared at each other's eyes as their eyes were piercing each other. Their auras also grew and clashed that sparks and lightning were being generated in front of them
Polem wielded the Disaster Sword and held it with both of her hands. She swung it to her right side and unleashed her power
The Disaster Sword shone even brighter and released yellow light from its blade. The light enveloped the sword and grew bigger and longer. The light itself became the sword and it exerted massive amounts of energy and power just from the light screeching on the sword
Her armor also shone brighter and resonated with the enhanced Disaster Sword. Extra yellow light armor was materialized and covered parts of her important body parts
Meanwhile, Diaphthorá held a sinister black sword on his right hand, called Ruination Blade, and he held the Denominating Staff of Dominance on his left hand
Diaphthorá also powered up and the Ruination Blade generated a dark sinister aura around it and wrapped around his arms. The dark purple materialization formed into a bigger and thicker sword on his hands
The red sinister magic orb inside the cage of his staff glowed brighter and wrapped Diaphthorá in red light. His eyes flashed with red light and his entire body is covered by a dark purple smoke
Time slowed down for Polem and Diaphthorá as they dashed towards each other while they wielded their weapons. In an instant, the Disaster Sword and Ruination Blade clashed and grinded each other that lightning arcs curved originating from them. The lughtning shattered the ground and scorched the nearby demons. Intense shockwaves were also generated that made the demon army flee away from their battlefield
Meanwhile, the Orc Disaster and Dantall fought each other. They were almost the same size and Dantall overwhelmed the Orc Disaster, even when the Orc Disaster created giant spears from the mana arrows and stabbed him repeatedly in one place and being bombarded by all kinds of mana arrows
Dantall's regenerative power is far too great that every attacks that the Orc Disaster, undead, and dragons are dishing on him have little to no effect
Dantall almost defeated the Orc Disaster when the unthinkable happened
The Orc Disaster opened his mouth extremely wide that it almost encompasses his own body. He held Dantall and gobbled up his legs and torso
From being shocked, Dantall became even more berserk that his own legs is tearing apart the Orc Disaster's whole body
As this is happening, the ground shook violently and giant cracks opened across the land around Last Hope. A big earthquake occured and the ground lightened up into an orange color. Between the cracks, magma and lava rose up and increased the heat of the area
But this heat did not faze the ice sanctuary that Gorde made. The ice was neiter melting nor cracking. The ice maintained its structure despite the high heat of the lava
A rumbling sound echoed in the horizon as a gigantic beast landed with its wings as arms and three heads of a dragon. The Volcano Hydra Wyvern arrived at Last Hope and it towers the cadtle for about five times
Another loud rumbling sound echoed next to Last Hope as the Devil Titan purposely stomp his foot down to shown his presence. The land almost up turned and the lava sloshed between the cracks. The undead fell through the cracks but that's the least to everyone's worries. Of course, the undead titans stepped over the cracks and survived
The Devil Titan and the Volcano Hydra Wyvern teamed up to take down Dantall because he managed to defeat the Orc Disaster when he was supposed to be at least as strong as Diaphthorá
The Devil Titan quickly raised his right foot and let it come down with great force towards the incapacitated Dantall, who had his legs being healed from the acid of the Orc Disaster
The devil's foot smashed down on Dantall's body and the ground rose around the foot and a large crater was generated. The location of the slaughter is at the south side of Last Hope. The foot smash made the castle tremble
All the humans that saw the Devil Titan and Volcano Hydra Wyvern lost all of their hope and their will to live disappeared. They only waited for their inevitable death as they sat on the ground while watching the fight unfold with empty eyes
The Volcano Hydra Wyvern then spewed fire and lava unto Dantall to supress his healing factor while the Devil Titan keeps on stomping him
After several seconds, the two Demon Generals halted and see if Dantall has been taken down. They heard a very loud roar while the lava is being pushed back
Dantall is still alive and he's angrier than ever, to the point that he might push Devil Titan down
At this point, the Ancient Dullahan arrived while riding a black armored horse and the Archdemon Blood appeared above Dantall with a smile full of sinister
The Archdemon Blood raised his arms to his side in a grand manner and blood swirled around the area, similar to Alucard's Blood Field, and blood tornadoes were created around Last Hope
Dantall's body hovered into the sky and he can't move in the air. It's because the Archdemon Blood is controlling Dantall's blood
The Archdemon Blood's eyes were glowing red and yellow as he stated deep into Dantall's furious eyes. His smile gave the berserk Dantall chills on his spine
The Archdemon Blood extended his hand towards Dantall and clenched it. Dantall's body became smaller and smaller. The Archdemon Blood plans to reduce Dantall into a pulp of blood and drink it
But he was interrupted when a blue light shone over Dantall's body from the hole in the castle, where the princesses, Braudain, and Viz are located
The Berserker form of Dantall was slowly beimg cancelled and his body is returning back to normal. The blue light disappeared and Dantall's body becane extremely frail and he fell to the whirlpool of lava with a smile
A moment after, his body was burned to a char and disappeared with a smile on his face
The diamond crystal that's hovering above Viz's right palm change color. A part of it became crimson red, other than milky white, and cosmic blue. Once again, all of them was confused
Especially the Archdemon Blood, his eyes were opened wide as he looked at where the blue light came from. He was about to follow the light in a fit of rage but he was stopped by the Ancient Dullahan when a loud crash and strong thump ensued in the center of Last Hope
The Devil Titan, Volcano Hydra Wyvern, Ancient Dullahan, Archdemon Blood, Monarch Lich, the dragons, and the undead army came to the center of Last Hope
At this point, the human army and civilians, all age and gender, has been wiped out. The only humans that were left are Corleona, Clara, Braudain, Viz, and Polem. The last fivr humans of Saykrandae
After the dust and smoke dissipated in the middle of Last Hope, it revealed the injured Polem. Her armor on the right side of her body has been shattered and broken. Her left arm has been severed and it left a stump. Her right eye is already closed and half of her face is filled with dripping blood. Her Helmet of Supreme Valor was also slightly shattered. Her long golden silver hair has been cut shorter and the Disaster Sword had chips and cracks on its surface
Polem huffed and breathed heavily. Seeing Polem's status, despair filled the other four inside the castle. It was then that Corleona moved and started the contingency plan. She equipped the Sacred Mana Rapier and placed it next to right shoulder while aiming at Diaphthorá, through the small hole in the wall
Corleona entered extreme concentration and her blue eyes glowed. Blue waves of energy swirled around her and the rapier shone with a bright light. The light was contained and wrapped around the rapier
Even though Polem is gravely injured while her left arm is missing and his right vision is gone, she was still smiling and hope is filled on her face
"This will be the last struggle of the humans!!!"
Polem raised the fragile Disaster Sword above her head
"Give me power, Goddess Sai! I'll bring down Diaphthorá with me!"
The fragile Disaster Sword released all of its Disaster Energy and it shattered into million pieces. But the Disaster Energy retained its form and grew bigger above Polem's head
"Calamity Immolation!!!"
The Disaster Energy Sword exploded in a very bright light and she swung the sword down into the ground and stabbed it
Instead of the energy exploding upwards, the energy exploded downwards and straight to Saykrandae's inner core
The explosion of energy penetrated to the other side of the world and hit the Black Quartz Fortress Castle. The energy overloaded the world and increased Saykrandae's internal energy
Fountain of lava spewed out at the other side of the world that ot reached space and showered the Black Quartz Fortress Castle. Beams of light penetrated through the crust and shattered the crust itself. The mantle became violent and rumbled destructively
Of course, a beam of light shot towards Polem, the origin of the explosion of energy, and doused her in energy that she couldn't handle. Her consciousness was immediately lost and the rest of her armor and helmet shattered into pieces
Diaphthorá and the Demon Generals panicked and became restless. The Volcano Hydra Wyvern tried to fly away and the Devil Titan tried to dodge the beams of light. The Archdemon Blood was very alarmed while the Ancient Dullahan assessed the situation very carefully. The Monarch Lich was unfazed
Diaphthorá was about to leave after he saw Polem being obliterated by the beam of light but he was stopped when someone in the castle shouted. He felt extreme killing intent that he never felt before and couldn't move
"Soul Piercer"
The voice was very cold and Corleona swung her arm and let the Sacred Mana Rapier flow into a stab
Blue energyswirled around the rapier and shot through the small hole and towards Diaphthorá's heart. The hit was very impactful that everybody heard a tearing sound when Diaphthorá was hit by Corleona's personal technique
At this moment, she became a Rapier King after creating the personal technique, Soul Piercer
