『 Tenshi have received the Angelic Shotgun of Totality 』
"A shotgun!"
Philip exclaimed in utter surprise because this artifact for the Totality variable seemed like too good to be true, considering the timing
'Who would have thought that the artifact of the Totality variable is a shotgun? Unlike the variables that I got which are their literal tools?'
"..."
Meanwhile, Tenshi's eyes glimmered as a shotgun appeared in front of her eyes. She has been looking and wanting a shotgun for over half a year and nothing suits to her liking
Philip also promised that he would make her a new improved one, but he was asleep for so long. She didn't want to ask the moment he woke up since she also decided to do something important after waking up in the morning earlier
Now that a shotgun happened to manifest due to the Totality variable, it's like Philip has given her a new shotgun because without him, she would never get this shotgun, even if it was indirectly
The shotgun manifested in front of Tenshi and rotated in front of her while shining with white light. The shotgun was filled with a layer of white light and it began to peel off the surface. The light then dissipated in the air
The shotgun revealed itself to be a break action over-and-under double barrel shotgun, one of the most powerful shotgun. It looks likes a fusion of the Mossberg 930 and Cynergy Shotgunl
The entire shotgun is white in color. The barrels looked like polished marble or whitewashed glass. The grip, forearm, and comb looked like rough white limestone or concrete. Gold inscriptions and runes started to shine across the forearm and comb as it began to imprint on the surface
White and yellow halo manifested from the nozzle of the shotgun and staretd to expand as it reversed into the barrels and towards to the grip until it reaches the butt
Energy condensed into the shotgun and the space around it warped. Shockwaves compressed into the shotgun once again and seemed to temper and reinforce itself
The shotgun began to release an overbearing pressure and aura like it's some kind of legendary or mythical artifact that can only be heard from myths and legends
『 The artifact of the Totality variable has manipulated itself according to Tenshi's desires 』
『 Tenshi's desire of a shotgun has been granted 』
『 Tenshi's origin of becoming an angel as the God of Light, Lux Lumen, anointed you as her angel has been considered 』
『 Tenshi's title as the Gaming Angel has been known 』
『 Tenshi's rank of the top 3 of the God Gamers of Cosmic 10 has been considered 』
『 You have unlocked an Ultimate Title! 』
『 Ultimate Title System has been unlocked! 』
『 Tenshi's title of [Angel with a Shotgun] has been turned into an Ultimate Title 』
『 An Ultimate Title will have a drastic effect to the universe. Having an Ultimate Title means that you are a very important and poweful being within the universe. The Foundation of Local Pillar will be planted 』
『 The Angel with a Shotgun has been imprinted in the universe!!! 』
『 Tenshi Hikaru has obtained the Shotgun Catalyst 』
In this moment, the shotgun began to change appearance according to all the catalysts that Tenshi obtained
Finally, Tenshi reached towards the shotgun and it hovered towards her until she finally held the grip and placed her forefinger on the trigger
The ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩ trembled and shook from the presence of the [Angel with a Shotgun]
『 Of course, the Angelic Shotgun of Totality is a shotgun exclusive only to you. Since you are the First Messenger of Fate, you can also lend the shotgun to Philip temporarily. It is a very destructive weapon imbued with one of the variables of the universe 』
"Can I test this?"
『 It's up to Philip 』
"Here right now?"
"Yes?"
Tenshi looked at Philip with puppy eyes. It was apparent that she's desperate to try her shotgun now. She won't know when she would be able to test its full power except here in Philip's ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩
"Uh... I guess you could test it here... System, is she capable of destroying the World of Imagination or rendering it intk oblivion that my mind shutdowns from the full brunt of it?"
『 I believe that the World of Imagination can resist it. You've killed a God of Darkness inside here after all and it could take the power of your own imagination 』
"Hm, you have a point"
"Don't worry... I won't go overboard!"
Tenshi assured Philip, but as soon as Philip looked at her, her eyes were gleaming and glinting with sinister light. Her eyes glowed with her usual blue eyes as her face is being shadowed
"O... Kay? Alright, you can try the shotgun. I'm also interested in seeing it"
"Okay!"
Tenshi then went ahead and raised her right arm with the shotgun on hand. She aimed at empty space and she took deep breaths
"Why don't we try it on a target practice?"
Tenshi exclaimed, urging Philip to manifest some sort of a target
"..."
Philip closed his eyes and he tried to imagine a suitable target for her. He thought about manifesting the Polished Celestial Rock that the True God of Worlds tried to imprison him with, but he thought that it might be too much for her
"Huh... You're ruthless..."
In the end, he decided to manifest Earth itself and they are a few thousand kilometers away from the surface. Tenshi could definitely hit Earth from this distance, even though it's a shotgun
In addition to that, Earth is a perfect buffer to determine the destructive capability of the shotgun. If the damage if the shotgun reached to the point that it completely destroyed Earth, the shotgun's destructiveness would be interplanetary level. If it could make a giant crater on the surface, it would either be continental, meteorite, or moon level
But, Philip decided that he would immediately dismiss the idea of measuring damage dealt in this setting. He would want for the system to make a Damage Level System of some sort the last
『 ... 』
"I guess this is fine..."
Tenshi muttered and she closed her eyes. She entered deep concentration and focused on the shotgun
Both Tenshi and the shotgun itself has entered deep resonance
『 Tenshi Hikaru has attained Shotgun Beginner mastery! 』
『 Due to the level of resonance between Tenshi Hikaru and the Angelic Shotgun of Totality, mastery level has increased! 』
『 Tenshi Hikaru has attained Shotgun Emperor mastery! 』
『 Tenshi Hikaru's Soul Artifact has been imprinted on the Angelic Shotgun of Totality 』
『 This is unprecedented! An artifact of a variable of the universe aren't supposed to become a Soul Artifact, but Tenshi has achieved it! 』
『 Sword Angel and Spear Angel mastery levels has been detected! 』
『 If there's a Sword Angel mastery, there should also be a Shotgun Angel mastery 』
『 Tenshi Hikaru has attained Shotgun Angel mastery! 』
『 The Angel mastery level is above Saint mastery level and below Demigod mastery level 』
"Wait! Did Tenshi just achieve three mastery levels of weapon? Wouldn't she be more powerful than me now?"
『 Not necessarily... The level of your mastery level reaches the Concept level, Tenshi only has the Angel level, four levels below you with an astronomical gap in between. Plus, Tenshi wouldn't be able to achieve Weapon Duality Mastery or Trinity Armament Mastery because transforming into weapon angels is very hard and taxing for her, unless Amatsuka does it herself. In addition to that, she must be able to transform into all three weapon angels and fuse to achieve Trinity Armament Mastery. She could achieve Twin Blades Angel mastery or a special mastery with the added Shotgun Angel mastery 』
"I see...
Philip muttered in amazement silently. He then gazed towards Tenshi after he felt her power burst
"Order..."
Her body suddenly transformed intk her Holy Angel form and her hair fluttered in the air. As her body transformed slowly until he reached her right hand, the shotgun then also transformed into a Holy Shotgun, or rather, a name that Tenshi usually calls it
"Harp!"
The shotgun bursted and released light. All the parts of the shotgun detached from each other except for the grip. White and yellow light swirled around the shotgun like it's some kind of futuristic weapon with condensed light and energy found at the core of the shotgun
Eventually, after the light and parts rotated around the core, it attached back together and transformed into a shotgun with designs that resembles a harp
The shotgun has extended bars or wings from the front of the grip and chamber with attached yellow strings that extend towards the nozzle. The shotgun became more sleek and the comb itself became a harp also
"Second Heavenly Prayer..."
Tenshi started to declare the second prayer and a ball of glowing light started to grow from the nozzle of the shotgun. The Harp waited for Tenshi to finish the prayer
"Judgement!"
Tenshi pressed the trigger and the sound suddenly muted itself. The sound was blown into oblivion as both Tenshi and Philip couldn't hear a thing at all, except for the high-pitched ringing sound that they could feel directly in their brains
Philip was plenty surprised, but Tenshi was shocked. She almost let go of the shotgun due to its power
A second has passed, both Philip and Tenshi didn't know what happened since an unbearable bright light blinded them that it even rendered Philip's [Definite Sight] and [Clairvoyance] abilities useless
Eventually, the bright light slowly dimmed down and their eyes adjusted to the brightness
Their eyes widened from what they saw
The Harp Shotgun strummed its own strings and mafe a short jingle that gives the impression that's suitable to the [Judgement] prayer
Philip and Tenshi could only hear the Harp and nothing else, until the ambient sound slowly returned and they could hear loud cracking sounds towards the Earth
Finally, the light levels returned back to normal and they see a bright and wide yellow pillar, the size of America, that struck Earth. It didn't end on the surface, but it also penetrated through yhe mantle, past the core, and through the other side of the planet. The pillar continued to shoot straight further down the white world
The area around the pillar started to ignite and a planetary shockwave covered the surface of the Earth. The ignited crust started to travel outwards and form large cracks. The oceans evaporated and, in no time, the entire Earth ignited and became filled with molten crust
The cracks grew bigger and bigger until the weight of the Earth itself succumbed to its own gravity and imploded. Gigantic mass of rocks separated from each other and drifted away from the implosion
Earth had been destroyed with a single blast from a shotgun
A literal divine judgement that struck Earth and all its people for their sins
After a while, the yellow pillar shrunk until it's almost a string in diameter and it dissipated. Philop then removed the debris of Earth from the ⟨⟨ World of Imagination ⟩⟩
"..."
Tenshi was silent, but Philip could feel that she's extremely happy and excited inside
"Well, at the least, you're destruction level is interplanetary because of that... If you combined all your transformations, maybe at least galactic level?"
"Yes... Should we try?"
"Nononono, I think that should be enough"
"How about you? Do you want to try it?"
"..."
Philip was stunned as he's having second thoughts
"You know how to get my desires, huh? But I don't think it's fair in this world. My imagination power would just get in the way and it will amplify the power"
"Hm... I guess so, but you're right. We'll try next time!"
"Alright"
『 A powerful weapon indeed... Now that everything has been revealed to you... There's one last thing before I have to go... 』
"What is that?"
『 You have obtained the Variable System 』
"Oh no... Another one..."
『 Don't worry! This system is very important and it will keep track of all the variables that you need 』
"What does it do?"
『 It will just keep track of the variables that you have obtained and it will make necessary adjustments when it's extremely needed 』
"That's it?"
『 Yes. What? Are you expecting something else? 』
"Not really... Usually the systems that I obtained are something out of the extraordinary where it could affect reality, causality, and the universe itself"
『 Heh... You have no idea 』
"Hm? What does that mean?"
『 Oh, nothing... Welp, I guess that's it for me then? 』
"Maybe? Unless you have more something to say?"
Philip was directly talking to the representation of the system while Tenshi is carefully inspecting her shotgun closely, like it's some kind of doll or teddy bear
『 Well... I, myself, is done after I revealed the necessary information that the Omega System itself refused to tell you and then it cried for help due to its fear of being overpowered by your own will 』
"Hm... Alright then, your arrival couldn't be avoided. I wish I would get to know who you are or what you are"
『 You absolutely cannot and that is unavoidable and unavailable 』
"Right, I understand... Well then, it's farewell?"
『 Yes. You have to talk to Emily about the features of the Regenerative Ivory and the Fifth Negative Exception after all 』
"Yup! Goodbye!"
"Good bye"
Philip and Tenshi bid their farewells to the representation of the Omega System, towards the personality that assisted the system and overwrote it temporarily
『 ... 』
"..."
『 I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours! 』
"Thank you"
Philip's gratitude was empty and the representation of the Omega System started to dissipate away. This is Philip's imagination working that the higher intervention within the system left
In this moment, the old Omega System is returning with some pointers that the personality left
『 ... 』
"So..."
Philip and the Omega System was in an awkward silence as the display of three dots appeared in his vision. Tenshi smiled after knowing what happened before she came here
