"At approximately 3:40 pm, a terrorist group calling itself the Undertakers carried out a large-scale attack at Haneda Airport using a virus."
"In response, the government has issued a special contagion alert, and citizens are currently being..."
Looking at news in the phone that he brought after leaving Undertaker's base, Primis thought.
'Primis: It's almost time for Shu to gather himself and make his move.........I guess I also know by now why Ouma Shu and Yuzuriha Inori fate are still connected with each other.'
[You do?]
'Primis: All of Ouma Shu's action in the plot are connected to Yuzuriha Inori. In other words, even if Inori doesn't love, if Shu still have feelings for her then the plot will continue.'
[In other words, the World is making sure that Ouma Shu love for Yuzuriha Inori doesn't vanish.]
'Primis: Yeah.'
[Hahaha. These protagonists really are just slaves of their World.]
'Primis: Well, that's why the World make them protagonists in the first place. Its not for them but itself.'
[Hahaha. True]
Currently, Primis was standing on top of one of the buildings and was looking at the Haneda Airport which was located on the other side in the middle of sea.
The only way to go there was by using the bridge between the land and airport.
Even though there was quite a distance, Primis could easily see what was going on inside the building. In other words, he was clearly watching Tsutsugami Gai and Yuzuriha Inori's actions.
Ophis was standing by his side. Scáthach was behind them, sitting on a pile of junks which were once called Endlaves while resting her spear on her shoulder.
RING!
RING!
Suddenly Primis received a call from an unknown number.
'Primis: About time. Huh.'
He picked up the call and waited for the person on the other end to spoke.
???: Erste...
Primis: What is it, Tsugumi?
Tsugumi: ...We lost...…They have taken us all down...…Inori went with Gai to infiltrate the place, but it seemed to be a trap......
Primis: .........
Tsugumi: At this rate, we'll all.........…It's all Ouma Shu's fault! Because he didn't com----
Primis: How Pathetic.
Before Tsugumi could continue, Primis cold voice interrupted her.
Tsugumi: Huh?
Primis: What you said just now is a proof that Undertaker are not as high or might as they seem. You all are just some bunches of thugs you joined together and who boasts about the things you can't even accomplish.
Tsugumi: You! How could you say something lik----
Primis: Quiet.
Tsugumi: ......…
Once he said so, Tsugumi and another person who was with her flinched and kept their mouth shut.
Primis: The reason for your failure is not Ouma Shu but you Undertakers themselves.
???: B-But we didn't know it was a t-t-trap.
Primis: Why you didn't expect it to be a trap in the first place, Shinomiya?
Ayase: Huh?
Primis: Let you tell you why. It's because ever since Ouma Shu joined your ranks, his King's power always played a major role in completing your missions. As a result, because of constant accomplishment, you all let your guard down and thought that the same thing will have even if he isn't present. That's what let to your downfall.
Tsugumi: ......…
Ayase: ......
Primis: Perhaps If it was previous Undertaker which didn't have Ouma Shu then you would have seen through this trap miles away.
None of them had any words of refute. Looking back, they also realized that they were overly reliant on Ouma Shu or should we say his Void power. Because of that just by his absence, their entire plan crumbled.
Ayase: You are...…right, Erste.
Tsugumi: Now that I think about it...…if I had tried more serious......then I would have realized that something's wrong.
Primis just heard them quietly and didn't present any comforting words. They must understand their mistakes.
A few minutes later.
Ayase: Thanks, Erste.
Tsugumi: Me too. I was wrong to put the whole blame on Ouma Shu.
Primis: Um.
Nodding Primis looked at the horizon and saw that it was almost sunset.
Primis: Anyway, there is a reason why you tried to find my contact and call me.
Tsugumi: W-What do you m-mean?
Primis: Knowing you, you must have long contacted Shu and gave him a piece of mind for the failure of mission. And since it has nothing to do with me, there must be reason why you call me.
Tsugumi: ......
Ayase: ...…. Ahaha, he is really sharp.
'Tsugumi: *sigh* He is.'
Tsugumi: It was Gai. When he told me track your number or location, he said if any problem occurred, and he is not present then we must contact you.
Ayase: According to him, you will take over the command of the remaining Undertakers.
Primis: ...I see.
Tsugumi: So...…what should we do?
Ayase: Gai and Inori are still in the airport. We must rescue them.
Tsugumi: But we barely have ten people remaining on your side.
Primis: More than enough.
Ayase: Eh? We are enough?
Primis: Ouma Shu is coming.
Tsugumi: Wha---- He is.
Primis: Of course, he is. After what you told him, he must be feeling guilty right now. So, he will be coming.
Tsugumi: I see...…I must apologize to him to later.
Primis: Yeah. For now, I am giving some orders. Follow them and it will help not only Gai but also Shu in reaching the airport.
Tsugumi & Ayase: Roger!

It's been sometime since Primis issued his orders to the remaining members of Undertakers.
Glancing at the side, he could see a fast-approaching military vehicle which was making its way to the airport.
'Primis: He is here. This means...'
Turning his attention back to the airport. Primis saw Inori who had walked up to the roof where a huge satellite was situated.
Walking to the center of the roof, she mumbled something to herself and looked at disaster-struck city in front of her.
A minute later, she opened her mouth and started singing.
♪ I'll never be loved by you ♪
♪ Or needed by you again, either ♪
♪ And so here I am, all alone ♪
A blue aura appeared by her feet and streams of energy came out and were going into the satellite behind her.
Circular streams began appearing around the tower as Inori continued singing.
Particles that seemed to be like snow began falling from the streams giving off a Christmas like feeling despite the situation and the darkened skies were cleared.
.
.
.
Throughout the Tokyo, people who were slowly being covered by crystals were suddenly free of them as everyone could hear Inori's singing.
♪ You always do that… making me angry ♪
♪ And then make cry in the end ♪
♪ But when you said I'm sorry afterwards, ♪
♪ I've always loved the look on your face ♪
Everyone around Tokyo was rejoicing.
The remaining members of Undertakers also realized that it was Inori's voice.
.
.
.
Primis: Good. Good. Very Good, Inori. You are doing great. Just like I wanted.
Primis who was looking at Inori smirked as his own body was covered in blue flames of Zenith. Other might not realize it but at each passing second, the blue flames were becoming more and more pure. Not only that, but they were also merging with the very laws of the worlds itself.
[That's why you didn't help them before. You wanted Inori to sing.]
'Primis: Yes. Inori or Mana or Eve, their work is the evolution of humanity by turning them into crystal. Because of that the World will also give them a hand. That's why even when Mana died in the past, the World kept her consciousness and soul intact.'
[In other words, their power can somehow let them connect to the very World itself.]
'Primis: Correct. Hence, using that Opportunity, I make my Zenith to also merge with the world. After all, there is also a piece of my Zenith inside her.'
[So, that's why you put your flame insider here. I thought it was only to prevent others from using her void.]
'Primis: Well, there is more to it, but you don't need to know.'
[Tch. You won't keep your actions simpler, are you?]
'Primis: I wonder.'
SIU!!!
A pulse of Zenith from Primis body and passed throughout the world.
Yet, except for those under Primis, no one sensed it. Not a single person.
Primis was completely covered in bluish flame like aura right now. Even in his dark eyes, flicker of blue fire could be seen.
Scáthach: Amazing.
Ophis: Isn't it. Zenith flame can burn everything. Whether its body, soul, or consciousness.
Scáthach: Mn.
While Ophis and Scáthach were looking at Primis, an explosion occurred in the airport.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
With that even more explosions occurred.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!!!
...
…
Sometimes later.
Primis took a deep breath as the bluish aura around him disappeared.
He looked at Inori's location and saw Shu landing softly on the roof. He gave Inori a fond smile before trying to approach her.
But then all of sudden, a crack appeared behind Inori as a person came out.
The person who had the appearance of a small teen with white hair along with thick brows, suddenly plunged his hand into Inori's chest. Shu froze as he heard Inori's tiny scream of pain. Then a sudden blast of wind knocked him down as the person raised Inori's void causing a bright pillar of light appeared once more.
[Wha--- How is this possible? Didn't your Zenith flame prevent others from using Inori's void?]
'Primis: Yes.'
[Then how did he?]
'Primis: I let him.'
[...........]
'Primis: ......…]
[...........]
'Primis: ......…]
[...........]
'Primis: ......…]
[.........Seriously?]
'Primis: Seriously.'
The person then said something to Shu before swing the sword at him.
As Shu closed his eyes, Gai appeared in between and took the blow. He then fell as Shu grabbed him and recovered some of his memories.
Gai and the person did some conversation before the person left with Inori. Shu ran towards the portal and slammed his right hand into it which caused a bright light to shine and pillar of light to rise.
RING!!
RING!!
RING!!
At this time, Primis who was watching the entire thing received a call. Without looking at caller id, he picked it.
Tsugumi: Erste! Shu and Inori----
Primis: I know.
Tsugumi: You...do...…
Primis: Anyway, tell Ayase to pick Gai and made their way to Roppongi Fort.
Tsugumi: But he is injure---
Primis: It's fine. The crystals on his body saved him. And knowing him, he won't stop either.
Tsugumi: That's true...But how do you know about Gai's condition.
Primis: I wonder.
Saying this, he cut the call.
Ophis: We are leaving, right?
Primis: Yes. Once I get my hands on "Apocalypse Virus Meteorite", we are leaving this world......So, Let's go and take it.
Ophis & Scáthach: Mn.
