"So, you're saying that you, your consciousness, was born since the birth of the universe and you were awoken by an unknown four years ago?"
Philip asked bravely, not minding that his life is in danger since Zxhst is keen on killing him right now. Zxhst narrowed his eyes and looked down on the peculiar human. They are on a standstill because Philip is holding Zxhst's right wrist
"You just reiterated what I said"
Zxhst exclaimed with annoyance
"Just making sure..."
"Hm?"
"It's because it seems like you and your people self-proclaimed yourselves as some sort of guardians of the universe or beings that govern it that you thought you should be the decision makers that easily decide the fate of a single race based on your own assumptions and observations..."
"Because that's what we are!"
"That's not what I see... You are just an existence like us, trying to survive in this unfair universe..."
"What are you getting on?"
"I'm just like you... I hate this world and every humans living in it. I wished for the world to end ever since I was a child to the point I wanted to die because I can't do anything at that time... But now, I have the power to that"
"Why didn't you do it then? We wouldn't have woken up and saw it for ourselves that wretchedness of this world"
"It's because I'm trying to give it, them, a second chance... I already changed it from the brink of destruction, and I gotta say... This change makes me happy..."
"What do you mean change?"
"The unknown force four years ago..."
"What about it? Wait!! No... You!"
"I caused it... I woke you up by changing the fate of the world and as of this moment, I will be protecting Earth! It's my home after all"
Zxhst then pulled his arm easily away from Philip's clutches as he immediately flew up far from the ground. His expression is that of extreme shock and anger
"You!!! I was unsure at first when I examined your existence, but it's clear now! The foreign concept that came from outside the universe and invaded inside is residing within your existence!! You must be erased immediately!!"
Zxhst was furious as he raised his hands into the air. The atmosphere rumbled and the blue aura around him grew larger. The True Mana coming from the hotspot is seeping towards him, including the stray Mana around before the magical forest
Philip was unfazed. He remembered Zxhst mentioning the Primordial Fission earlier and he decided to raise his right hand and show àhis palm. A symbol of a blue sword is etched on his palm like a mark
Zxhst's eyes widened in shock
"The mark of the Primordial Remnant!!! You stole it?!!"
"It chose me"
"Bring it back!!!"
Zxhst lost his composure and lunged at Philip like a wild animal
Philip's senses spiked and pricked his skin. His danger senses exploded and killing intent broke through the dam. This is the start of the fight between Philip and the squadron against the Mana Avatar
At this point, Justine, Celine, and Tenshi has recovered from being stunned. Philip jumped back and retreated as Justine pulled him with panic and worry. Strong energy signatures are circulating around her and an aura of yellow light is around her
As Philip was pulled back, Celine forcefully dashed forward and met Zxhst. She already had her right arm swung and aimed for Zxhst's head. Though, he didn't mind it and tried to counter her punch with his own raw punch
"Recoiless Technique! Serious Punch!"
Celine's right arm vibrated violently that the air and space around it warped and left a trail behind her. It was a second too late before Zxhst realized Celine's power and their fists connected
The space around their fists warped and a powerful shockwave exploded in between them. Zxhst's whole arm exploded and torn from the transferred pressure and energy of the Recoiless Technique. He was pushed back and rotated to the left and he managed to resist being blown away
Celine was also pushed back and rotated to the right. Even with Recoiless Technique being used, she was pushed back by the blast and the reaction of the collision. It just shows how strong and powerful Zxhst is compared to everyone that he even managed to resist the Recoiless Technique
Zxhst quickly recovered and swiped his right hand towards Celine. A blue condensed wave of energy went towards Celine and she crossed her arms to block it. The Moment the wave of energy hit Celine, her muscles contracted and she was blown away towards the magical forest, creating another crater and a trench. The magical trees was uprooted and destroyed
While Celine confronted Zxhst, Philip also made a move. He grabbed the cluster of attributed Mana Stones, which he will call as Attributed Mana Cluster, from the front pocket of his sleeveless hoodie and called out to Tenshi
"Tenshi!! Grab this!"
He then threw the cluster into the air and Tenshi caught it
"Absorb the energy in that cluster and transform! Prevent him from getting any closer to Sheena!"
Tenshi hesitated for a moment because her personality will change whenever she transforms, but there's no time to be hesitant because there's one thing in common from all of her personalities. They have similar goals and they always follow Philip's words
So, she immediately absorbed the Attributed Mana Cluster and a colorful light bursted forth from the cluster. The light then swirled around her body like a colorful rainbow and her appearance changed
Her blue-white hair became colorful like a rainbow where the tips of her hair is red and her scalp is violet. An ethreal rainbow colored ribbon replaced her floating ethereal blue-white ribbon around her waist and behind her head. Her clothes and aura glowed with colorful light. She opened her eyes and revealed multicolored pupils. The Halo on her changed into a spiral with six arms and each arm has its own color and it will be called as Spiral. Of course, six floating discs also appeared
A bright flashing of lights then filled the entire area which blinded almost everyone except for Philip ans Zxhst. It was then that after the flashing of lights dissipated, Tenshi is already in front of Zxhst with her face a few inches from Zxhst's face. Her expression is very confident and she is giving a sinister smile without showing her teeth. Just by looking at her eyes, she shows dread and sense of danger looming over them
"Incineration and Inflation"
Tenshi declared the First and Fourth Elemental Prayers. Tenshi then extended her hands to the left and right and two discs flew over her palms. The discs has the symbol, shape, and form of Incineration, that resembles fire, and Inflation, that resembles wind
"Ionize and Tempest: Plasma Turbulence!"
She then clapped her hands together and the discs flew around to the back of her hands. The Incineration and Inflation prayers generated gospels and fused into one
Zxhst was momentarily stunned because he witnessed the aspect change of the Totality Catalyst and he can't help but watch and observe. But with this, he suffered the consequences
A streak of violet line with sparkling ionized electrons shot from her left and a streak of green line with wind lines shot from her right and fused on Zxhst
A glowing orb of violet light formed in front of Zxhst's chest and multiple arcs of plasma quickly grew out of the orb. The arcs of plasma suddenly became turbulent and cause a storm around Zxhst and revolved around him. Parts of his body started to glow from the intense heat and chip away because of the strong and heavy gusts of winds
"EEEEEYAAAAAHHH!"
Zxhst screamed with a deep tone and this is the first time he felt intense pain. He almost lost consciousness but as a Mana Avatar, Mana helped him keep his composure. He then collected the True Mana around the area and condensed it within himself
The sphere of violent and turbulent plasma around Zxhst was covered by a sphere of blue Mana. The sphere of blue Mana quickly shrunk down and disrupted the flow of ionized plasma around him, but Tenshi quickly interfered
"Obstruction: Curtain!"
Tenshi declared the Sixth Elemental Prayer and she raised her hand up high and brought it down as a streak of black line appeared out of thin air. The sixth disc hovered next to her hand and it shows the symbol and shape of dark attribute. The streak of black line then grew in size and became a black blanket. It flew towards the sphere of Blue Mana and covered it
With Zxhst being covered by darkness as no light can come inside, the turbulent plasma and his glowing body are the only source of light, but this was enough for the Mana to reach supercritical point
As the ionized plasma is contained in a dark container and since ionized plasma is composed of coexistence between ions and electrons, the electrons release more energy in the form of photons. When more photons are generated, the brighter the plasma becomes, and since True Mana is also within the sphere of plasma, the electrons will keep receiving energy from Mana and releasing it in a form of photons
The number of photons will continuously increase until the inside of the dark curtain is filled with light and radiation as the pressure and temperature inside will exponentially increase and give Zxhst a hard time
Just then, a gurgling scream echoed the seeps through the dark curtain as Zxhst body was being destroyed inside the bombardment of elements. Tenshi smiled from hearing the scream as she finally grinned. Her multicolored eyes gave a sense of joyful insanity
"Erosion: Collapse!!"
Tenshi declared the Third Elemental Prayer and she closed her right hand as she aimed it at the dark curtain shere in front of her. The third disc, that has a symbol and shape of earth, flew and revolved around her right
It was then that the mountain under them, the flank of the mouth of the unstable Mana Hotspot, suddenly moved. The earth rose and went over the dark curtain and it seemed like it was about to devour it. Earth came crashing down on the dark ball of curtain and pulled it down into the earth. Tenshi then clenched her fist and the ground that burried the dark ball of curtain twisted and compressed together that it formed a super dense spiral of earth and rocks
"Ku... Kuku... Kuhahahahat!"
Tenshi began to laugh maniacally after seeing Zxhst being burried alive. She thinks that he's dead and that she did a good job at preventing him from getting close to Sheena
~~~
Meanwhile, a few seconds ago before Tenshi wrapped Zxhst with a black blanket, Philip and Justine came together
"Justine, I want you to do something..."
"What is it?! As long as we put an end to this!"
"My Future Vision cannot see further at this moment and I won't have any idea what happens next"
"Then, what do you want me to do?!"
"Go all out and help the squadron. Don't worry, I will keep you under control in case you go berserk and lose control. Make sure that Zxhst won't be able to react"
"If that's the case, then... I'll hold you to it"
Justine then closed his eyes in an angryand worried expression. Philip went ahead and turned around to go towards Sheena
Justine concentrated deeply to power up her Swirlonic State. The red markings around her limbs grew bigger and the curves swirled deeper. The red markings also grew around her face and her blonde hair is turning red while having a yellow under color
All vectors and energy around her started to circulate around her and the space around her became heavier
She then slowly opened her eyes and her blue eyes completely turned red and a crack in space crawled outward from the corner of her eyes, the same time as thunder and lightning rumbled and crackled in the sky as several lightning bolts came to smite the ground in the distance. Her red eyes were emanating a red smoke or aura that makes her look sinisterly
She then hovered into the air and as she was floating upwards, the atmosphere became very dense and the surroundings darkened dramatically
She opened her hands and extended it in front of her. She performed several hand signs until she aimed for the spiral on the ground and twisted it even further
The ground warped beyond compare and it became black by how condense and compact the ground is. The particles, waves, and energy around Justine suddenly became unstable and she doesn't notice it, as well as Tenshi, even though the instability is obvious and recognizable
~~~
Meanwhile, Philip has arrived next to Sheena and he immediately told her what to do next without wasting any time
"Quick! Contact the facility first and tell them about the incoming threat!"
"I already tried but no one's answering!"
"Sh*t! It's too late! Try contacting the other squadron forces around the world! Tell them that this threat is capable of destroying the world "
"On it!"
Sheena touched the upgraded relay radar and she sent a message to every squadron leader's communication devices around the world. Sheena's upgraded relay radar is capable of sending signals around the world without delay. This upgraded relay radar can also reach the moon and receive feedback with any delay
'It definitely defies the laws of physics even though it should be impossible this early... Her ability must really come from somewhere unknown, just like Mathilda's ability'
Philip thought to himself
"Calling all squadron leaders! This is Codename Upgrade of the Los Angeles Division! We require assistance from this is a world level threat! We are down one and we might not hold out for much longer"
"Explain to them more about how grave the situation is. Tell them that Mana will also spread around the world and the enemy will kill all humans if we lost"
Sheena relayed what Philip said into the radar
"This is our coordinates, it's been sent on your devices! Hurry!"
The moment Sheena finished the relay, a large blue spike protruded from the ground and destroyed the relay radar from underneath. Philip and Sheena were stunned, Zxhst shouldn't be able to escape from Justine and Tenshi's clutches, so how could this happen?
"Tch, I was too late!"
A voice echoed from above next to the two of them. Philip's eyes went wide from disbelief
"Teleportation?!!"
