" Why did he put me here? " Battle Maiden asks Ragna 69 beside her as he accompanies her when the System rejuvenates her while storing her latest condition data.

" That's because... " Ragna 69 holds his answer as he thinks about things.
" Mr. Ragna '69', was it? " Battle Maiden says as she looks at him.
" Would you answer my question, for a minute? "
" Does my question are sensitive to you...? " she says to him, while Ragna 69 just sighs and tells her that.
" Your retraction from this current act of event is necessary, Maiden... " 69 says to her.
" For Ragna Current's vision told him so, while Ragna Twelve is currently out from the System to check on something. " Ragna 69 sees the System Window.

" Besides, I didn't have the power to see through time like those two, including the others stored inside this very Space. "
" Others...? " Battle Maiden asks.
" Yes, others... "
" From over thousands of 'Timelines', Twelve's went through, you think he only pick me and 100th to be stored inside this very System, to help him fulfilling his revenge that includes our revenge... "
" For his granddaughter, isn't it? " Battle Maiden asks.
" 'Our' granddaughter, Maiden... "
" Don't forget that I am 'him' in some sense of way... "
" Sadly, I also received the same suffering that Twelve has, but in a different form... "
" The suffering and the losses all Ragnas in the Previous Timelines experienced, those very experiences we tried to prevent from happening to this Current Timeline Ragna. "
" He is the youngest of us that Twelve managed to pick up, unlike most of us, he grows very fast more than we could predict. " Ragna 69 remembers Ragna Current's growth over time.
" We put confidence in him... "
" In everything, he's done... "
" Besides that,... "
" Maiden, I remember Ragna Current told me to ask something to you. "
" What is it? " Battle Maiden asks back.
" Your blindfold, the very thing that covers your eyes before you can see again... " Ragna 69 says.
" If I may ask, that blindfold is not just an ordinary black blindfold, wasn't it? "
" Hmm...? " Battle Maiden replied.
" Why did you ask that question? why did young Ragna 'Current' want you to ask me that? " Battle Maiden tells her questions.
" About that... "
" It's more of... " Ragna 69 tells the Maiden about what he knows from Ragna Current.

( Meanwhile. )
[ Abyss Tower, Top Floor. ]
" *GASP*!!! "
" You're late, both of you! " Raiden says as to both Kara and Aphrodite inside her as the two just wake up from their slumber,
" What happened...!? " the two of them say as their voices combined.
" You girls still became one? " Raiden asks the two, realizing that both Kara and Aphrodite still have their combined-into-one consciousness.
As the girls wake up, Raiden tells them that they're late, for Adrian now is being beaten by Ragna who had to cover up for Galen since he's been heavily injured, earlier.
" The kid is going nuts, Kara... " Raiden says as he points at Ragna, showing Kara that the 'First Awakener of the 1.111th Timeline' is beating up the 'a$$hole' Adrian Waterson mercilessly.
" Take a good look. "
[ Gift: Hecate's Cast (Tier IV) ]
[ Gift: Aegis Shield (Tier IV) ]
[ Gift: Warlord's Barrier (Tier IV) ]
"( Shit this kid! what the hell is he!? )" Adrian is being attacked by Ragna by any means, breaking his protections.
< Shields Broken >

< [Item: Rachnare's Tusk Remastered (+5) ] >
< Item Class: A >
< Type: Sword >
< Attack: +40.000 >
< A sword made from Rachnare's Tusk, the same Tusk that emits deadly venoms. >
....
"( That sword, it shits me up, what the heck!? )" Adrian says while Ragna strikes him while he attacks using [Neptune Whip].
< Adrian HP -40.000 >
< 'Wound' effect applied >
< 'Impurity' effect applied >
< Target [Adrian] will lose 40% every 40 seconds. >
Ragna slices every tentacle he could create, making Adrian have no choice but to abandon using Physical Type Gifts and instead use the Elemental and Energy Type Gifts that his [Greed & Gluttony] had stored from him.

[ Gift: Hunter Arrow (Tier II) ]

Adrian shoots it all, everything he had over Ragna as Ragna evades many of them while he just rains over at Ragna without thinking straight that it will drain him.
"( For now, despite how draining it is, this rain of attacks should've killed that annoying brat out of nowhere! )"
"( That brat whom I kinda remember at some point, who was he...!? )"
"( I kinda forget, must be someone that only met me a few times, probably...! )"
"( Like I would remember it anyway..., those morons who didn't deserve to be even known by me! )"
" How does all of this feel, brat!? "
" Did you have enough!!!? " Adrian shouts at Ragna while constantly firing his Gifts in Ragna's direction.
" This should've killed him... " Adrian says as he finishes the attack, waiting for the dust to be cleared from his rain of Gift attacks.
" Ragna... " Galen says as he watches from a far location, as Ragna told him to stay put during his turn.
" Now where is his corpse...? "
" It should be here, somewhere? " Adrian approached the last known location where he hit last, believing he would find the ashes there.
Adrian looks around that very place, realizing that the bombarded ground leaves no human ashes to be found, making him laugh happily as it happens.
" Ahahaha, guess this is the end of an inse-, huh? " Adrian suddenly realized that his body was cut in half.
" This is the end, you say? " Ragna says after slashing him from behind with his other sword.
" Huh...? " Adrian was shocked to realize it.
" Are you sure about it? "
< Adrian HP -72.000 >

" Ragna... " Galen was shocked to see him suddenly appear, slashing Adrian with such a simple swing.
" How did...- " Galen realized where Ragna just go, as he sees Ragna's feet still tucked in his shadow which means.
"( He just went into his own Shadow!? )" Galen realized this, for he suddenly remembers how Ragna killed Arachina earlier for he too comes out from the shadows to do so.
< Skill: [Black Shadowportation] -- LVL.2 >
" Bastard, you...! " Adrian says as his upper half was almost cut down, but [Greed & Gluttony] immediately regenerates him.
[ Greed Rejuvenate ]
"( He's getting pissed off, now he's going to lose his shit, didn't he? )" Ragna wonders as he sees the crown on Adrian's head glow.
"( There's no time to play now, Waterson... )"
"( Kill these insects... )"
"( You don't have to tell me! )" Adrian says his eyes glowing red as he finally thinks of this with more concern.
" It's time for me to wipe you all out! " Adrian says, releasing another Gift stored inside [Greed & Gluttony].
"( Here it goes... )" Ragna says in his mind, realizing it is time for him to be more offensive.
