( Back in the present.)
" So that is what it is...? "
" Doesn't it surprise you...? " Raiden asks Adrian after explaining it all... (the ones from his perspective, not the ones in the System Space, OK.)
" You, you bastard!!! " Adrian who is still pinned by Raiden's foot on the ground struggles heavily while being enraged.
" How could you!? "
" You betrayed me to some unknown brat!!! "
" And a hoe!!! " Adrian also mentions Kara.
" How could you, there were 'our' enemies!!!? "
" I 'am' 'your' friend...! "
" You shouldn't have things on my back..., you! "
"( Grrhhh this stunning Thunder is so shocking, it stuns my muscles, making me hard to... )"
" 'Shouldn't have things on my back' you said? " Raiden says to Adrian as he then looks at Flolial.
" Isn't that what you always do...? " Raiden asks which shocks Adrian at that time while Raiden looks at Flolial.
" Wha..., what do you mean...? " Adrian stutteringly asks.
" I... I never... "
" Never!? " Raiden asks as he then stabs his [Hand Scythe] blade into Adrian's chest, filled with imbued Divine Thunder borrowed from Aphrodite before she returns to Kara.
" Never have things on my back...? " Raiden asks Adrian while shocking him.
Raiden was so furious as he hears it from him, didn't know that his friend would say such a thing that enrages him the most.
" If you really don't have things on my back then... "
" Why are you with that chick!? " Raiden asks Adrian about Flolial.
" Oh her, she's... "
" You never 'once' told us anything about her before you introduces her to me and Randall... "*
" After you introduces her, I was so surprised that all of our s**ts came from her! that almost make puked my meal that you just told me to always come from her freaking funds! "
" Listening to all of that, I was very enraged to hear you joining the [Dark Brotherhood Sect] without telling us, you even assigned both my name and Randall name's into the sect without our very permission! " Raiden says, protesting on what Adrian did that shook his trust in him.
" But, that was the turning point of your lives, yes! " Adrian defends himself while feeling the shock.
" If I didn't assign you to the sect, you wouldn't have those privileges you experienced during those times! "
" You were rich, you can almost buy anything you want, escape many prison sentences, and many more! "
" And you're blaming me for even assigni- "
" But at least explain to me before you do it, asshole! " Raiden punches Adrian's face.
" At least let me also decide about your decisions, okay! "
" Don't forget that I am also the founder of our Group, Guild, and every other thing we've to build together! "
" Even though I'm not totally part of the organization's planning, at least you still obligated and owe me an explanation of what're our next moves! you hideous moron!!! " Raiden punches Adrian's face so hard, he punched it many times but...
" Raiden watch out! " Kara tells Raiden which made him flee from the thing that attacks him.
" This Insect just missed... " a voice says as she comes above Adrian.
" Such a disappointment, Waterson. "
" You have the Crown in your possession, it's already embedded in your body. "
" But you still lose to this...? " the voice says as Adrian sees her.
" Ara... china... " Adrian says as he sees Arachina who saved him.
" Who in the bloody hell, are you!? " Raiden asks after being interrupted, seeing Arachina comes in with her swarm of insects.
"( Insects...!? )" Kara was shocked to see swarms of insects coming into the place per Arachina's arrival.
" Ah sorry for your interruption but allow This Insect to introduce myself... "
" This Insect's Arachina, this insect is sorry for interrupting you mortals, but this must be done. "
" For ... " she sees Adrian.
"( What a useless mortal, even after you had the Crown...! )"
" This Insect will be assisting Waterson in this battle," she says after retreating her face from seeing Adrian.
Seeing her face, Adrian stares at her despite his face being full of bumps after being beaten.
" Now prepare yourself... "
" For 'We Insects' will swarm you until you die! " Arachina says to Raiden and Kara.
...
( At the same time. )
" Bahhh!!! " Gargas came out from the rubble.
" Bastard human, you... " Gargas tries his best to clap his wings.
" No way, it's...! "
" Broken? " Galen says with Battle Maiden, approaching him.
Seeing the two in front of him, Gargas was extremely scarred to see the two as he then begs for mercy, but.
*Galen taps Gargas's head with his finger.*
" Sorry, but you already choose this end yourself. " Galen says as he fills Gargas's head with Ki, injecting it with so much energy.
" Galen what are you!? "
" Prepare yourself, Maiden! "
" Another BOOM is coming. " Galen says as Gargas's head explodes, splatting his blood into both of their faces.
" Grrhh... Galen...! " Battle Maiden growls while wiping her face.
" Why do you have to...? "
" Sorry, Maiden... "
" I gotta end this one before he gives us more trouble... "
" Before it even came. " Galen explains as he tells Battle Maiden that Gargas's Blood Ability is so dangerous despite him can't actually pinpoint in which ability it was by the record of it.
As Galen explains it, Galen then senses something with his Ki.
" Hmmm... "
" What is it...? " Battle Maiden asks which she then sensed it too with her 'Inner Eye'.
Realizing something is wrong, the two immediately reacted as they sense an attack coming towards them as they deal with it.
" An insect...!? " Galen asks as he sees it.
" Boom... " voice commands as the insect immediately exploded into both of their faces, it explodes so widely it can even be seen from Raiden and Kara's location.
" What the...!? "
...
...
( Meanwhile. )
" Now tell me this, Thorndamn... " Ragna asks Thorndamn in his custody, surrounded by his Black Shadows.
" Tell me more about [Greed & Gluttony]...! "
" Back then you were its user, right? " Ragna asks Thorndamn.
" Back in the 69th Timeline? " Ragna said to Thorndamn as he also points the Dainsleif sword's blade at him.
"( This brat, he knows about 'that'!? )" Thorndamn asks about it in his mind.
"( Just who is he...? )" he wonders.
