Arlesk managed to reach Hyperion and Thea after they moved away from his range. He didn't send waves of stars but kept the disassembled musket to prepare firing his lasers when needed. "Had to run on the opening act? I had bigger expectations on you council members. Oh well, I'll send you all to hell. [Stellar Astronomiya], [Melpomene]." While arrogantly taunting his enemies, he had bestowed his weapons the effect of making his attacks much more effective and adding his finishing touch on his preparations. "[Stellar Astronomiya], [Capricorn]." Arlesk then faced the two council members as he looked for a good opening. However, the two council members doesn't seem to have any plans in fighting him melee. Within that instant, Hyperion, who was sneakily using magic, fired another converged sunlight laser. "Tsk! [Inconjunct]!" Arlesk hurriedly blocked the laser which gave himself quite a major opening. Thea got that chance to fire mini lasers which started to bend around to her will. All mini lasers start to converge towards Arlesk, making him think of other plans. "Testing my limits in handling light huh?!" Arlesk summoned a giant ball of light within an instant to blind both Hyperion and Thea. Their magic was quickly interrupted and cancelled but they were able to quickly recover due to their expertise magic being light. However, the second they recovered, Arlesk was no longer anywhere to be found. "Where?!" Hyperion panicked slightly and noticed a lingering presence nearby. "Back to back!" He ordered Thea to regroup and quickly try to look for Arlesk who had hidden himself with invisibility. Just as the two were thinking about making a wide scale attack, multiple lasers materialized out of thin air, forcing them to start dodging instead of attacking. "As expected of Archon Arlesk. Then how about this?!" Hyperion quickly changed the colors of light around him. This instantly dispelled Arlesk's invisibility which caught him slightly off-guard. In that opportunity, Thea fired a powerful converged laser directly at him. "Tsk!" With a small bit of reaction time, Arlesk barely managed to get away from the laser and threw out a few lasers in response. But seeing as the source of the lasers finally got discovered due to the light color change by Hyperion, they were able to easily predict the trajectory of Arlesk's counterattack. Just as Hyperion and Thea dodged the attacks, they both faced Arlesk and prepared to fire another set of lasers toward him.
Arlesk quickly tried to look for a solution as to how he would have to deal with enemies that are highly prepared like this until he noticed that there's a large gap between the two. In that slight bit of opening, he quickly went in between Hyperion and Thea. "This is my one chance and I have to take it." Arlesk quickly then launched attacks as he noticed that both Hyperion and Thea started to hesitate on their movements. Hyperion quickly tried to adjust his position, which made Arlesk move according to his movements. He kept his attention at both sides which may look like a pincer attack.
"With this, I don't think they'll be attacking for a while. But I can't expect it to remain that way forever. Hyperion will likely perform a suicide tactic soon enough." As Arlesk probed his mind while sending attacks to both Thea and Hyperion while adjusting his position to remain in between the two of them. He still felt relieved as he started to think up more plans as to what to do against these two council members. But seeing Hyperion show a smile as he finally thought up a plan made him click his tongue again. Arlesk kept an eye on Hyperion while focusing his attacks towards Thea who started to charge a powerful laser that is much stronger than the ones launched from the opening attack. When Arlesk looked over to Hyperion, a giant mirror could be seen blocking complete view of him. With that kind of preparation, Arlesk already knew what the two are up to. "They're gonna tear through the defense!" With that thought crossing through his mind, he quickly made Thea his main focus. "[Opening Act], [Stellar Hell]."
Arlesk gathered all of his musket fragments to begin his second wave of his opening flourish. Without mercy, he sent hundreds of stars towards Thea in hopes that she would cancel her charging. But seeing as the council members are committed to the attack, Arlesk had finally gotten to the point where he's forced to finally use it.
"No choice! Plan cancelled so I have to use it!" Arlesk began to channel an energy that is much more difficult to comprehend than magic. It was something that was already sensed upon Remuel's reawakening. But for Arlesk to use it even before Hyperion or Thea uses their trump card, it would mean that Arlesk cannot progress against them without using it. "[Release], [God of Cyberspace]." With a calm chant, a massive influx of memories flooded into Arlesk's mind. All of which were related to memories that he had harbored before. As a God ruling the entire cyberspace that was created for races even as fragile as normal humans to create their ideals worlds in the realm of cyberspace.
Aside from that, Arlesk's form started to change, as metallic parts merged to create a large form of armor of both biological and metallic systems that assist Arlesk in controlling his divinity. "[Cyber divinity systems online] [Divinity control assist active] [Magic systems regulated] [Ready for action]." At first, the armor looked simply a dark blue with cybernetic golden lines coursing through the new metallic biological suit that was covering Arlesk's torso, legs, arms, and half of his face. "System command, [Convert Light to Nuclear energy]." [Energy Converter Online], with a quick activation, a hole could be found on the palm on the giant cybernetic arm covering Arlesk's left arm. He opened the palm towards Thea who finished charging the laser and fired it towards Hyperion who held the giant mirror. Arlesk went in between them and generated a large glowing cyber wall using light and absorbed Thea's charged laser of death without making much effort. When Hyperion realized the presence before him absorbed the entirety of Thea's charged laser, he completely understood that he's about to head straight to a loss. He quickly sent a telepathic message to Thea to go for an immediate retreat and abandon the knights.
"System command, [Prepare Nuclear Energy Cannon]." Arlesk's right arm started to get covered in a more elaborate design of a giant cannon that charges up nuclear energy that was absorbed from Thea's attack. He then quickly aimed the attack towards Thea who was making a break towards the skies. "Retreating?" Arlesk turned his body towards Hyperion who is doing the same exact thing. The main reason why they were flying instead of instantly teleporting is to make Arlesk waste a shot. Realizing that, Arlesk's expression cracked into a sinister smile as he aimed the energy cannon straight up to the sky. "Say goodbye to your floating castle! [Divine Armageddon]!" Arlesk's charged up nuclear energy was instantly prepared for an instantaneous attack as he launched it straight up to the sky. But instead of it being a clear miss, the visor in his eye detected damage and a signal warning to watch for falling debris. Since they were far away from the battlefield of the two armies, he simply dodged the incoming fragments of a floating continent. "I know how your base works now. Feel free to visit again soon." Arlesk left those parting words as he noticed that Hyperion launched multiple lasers inbound from all directions coming at him. "[Cyber Cocoon], [Absorb and Convert], [Load Cannon With Pure Magic]." Hyperion looked completely frustrated in his expression which meant Arlesk had completely taken the win after transforming, and getting information about where the Council comes from exactly.
After seeing the two council members fly back to the skies, Arlesk dropped down to the middle of the battlefield and quickly issued a major order to retreat all men that are fighting on the very front. "System command, [Front Guard Mode], [Change weapon to Army Sweeper]." As he issued the commands to his divinity assist system, the cannon on his right arm changed into another shape. It simply created a large handle and hilt of a sword. But using the absorbed laser attack by Hyperion, Arlesk absorbed the small part of divinity in the magic to restore his divinity, absorbed the energy part combined in the attack to prevent him from getting exhausted, and used the converted pure mana into a giant glowing cyber blade. With just one turn of his body, he quickly swept off all the knights in half without any resistance. All knights stopped moving and slowly fell on the ground. With both Amber and Hecate being a witness to this new form of his which made his hair grow out, the two could only stare as their hearts kept beating loudly on how great Arlesk looked.
In the meantime, the Guardians who took the front line were completely in awe as to witness their leader's godly form. "Now, the cleanup I guess. [Lifeforce Absorb]." Arlesk pointed the absorbing claw towards the thousands of knights that were cleaved in half and absorbed the bodies converted into lifeforce so that they won't have to clean up the area. Arlesk used the extra lifeforce to resurrect allies who died and recover injuries that were sustained by various members.
