=Town of Misaki, Abandoned School Building=
3rd POV*
Inside the mind of Archetype Earth, two beings could be seen confronting each other. Both of them has the same features however the expression on their faces were different. One was wearing an indifferent one apathetic to the world while the other is using a grave one. Archetype although annoyed that she was dragged in here still entertained the owner of the body.
She is just borrowing it after all. "Thou spoke what you wish" Archetype Earth demanded gazing at Arcueid who pouted. "How stiff! Give me back my body! They would insult me if you use it for too long" Arcueid shouted opening her hand in gesture. This action of her intrigued Archetype Earth as she did not try to force her way and instead choose a peaceful way.
This is different from the usual idiot Arcueid, her way of acting is also irking Archetype because it was far too lax. As if she was holding the reigns in this conversation and could do whatever she wanted anytime. "Denied. I haven't had my fill in this world. There are fools who are hindering my enjoyment" Archetype refused without hesitation.
"That's unfair! This is my body, there is no choice for you here!" Arcueid stomped her feet in exasperation. Archetype Earth was being too relaxed on her body, she doesn't like that at all! This tantrum of Arcueid was greeted by a sneer from Archetype. "You still act like a child. Do you not learn? Trusting these will eventually lead to your destruction" she pointed that one.
She was already tricked before by Roa who took most of her powers, and now she still chose to trust humans? It is ridiculous in the eyes of Archetype. "You're pitiful… if it ended up in a situation where my powers are robbed again then I would be thankful to it. It was because of this situation that I learned some human emotions and honestly, they are marvelous" Arcueid gave a bright smile.
She reminisced about the time she spent with Lawrence in others, she had to admit that it was better than her mundane life of constantly killing Dead Apostles. Human emotions are complex yet it never failed to amaze her, it was simply too mystifying. Archetype raised an eyebrow at the statement, she wondered whether she really enjoyed it.
"Human emotions… as expected, it is irrelevant to me. If you who was once a great being was relegated to this state then it must be a curse. How ludicrous" Archetype commented, she simply could not understand what is so great about human emotions that Arcueid is even willing to throw away her past identity just to fully enjoy it.
Arcueid shook her head at that, "You won't understand. Anyway! Return my body now, I don't want to fight!" Arcueid said smiling at Archetype who merely snorted. "Ehh! What's with that reaction! I own it alright, just give it to me or else…" she muttered narrowing her eyes at Archetype who got amused. "Else? What can you do? I am your peak state, there is possibility for the current you to win"
Arcueid merely smiled when Archetype spoke, this brought puzzlement to the True Ancestor. "Surely someone as smart as you should have realized that I was far too carefree when talking to you right? And as you guessed, I do indeed possess a trump card that can easily deal with you" Arcueid spoke confidently raising her chest.
There was no ounce of fear hanging on her face showing how poised she is about this matter. "You became a better comedian, is this your new occupation?" Archetype asked not really sensing anything dangerous about Arcueid. "Hah! If you can't even see it then it means that he hid it very well!" Arcueid spoke puffing her chest, she was very proud.
This alarmed Archetype because it knows that Arcueid despite being idiotic and all would never say something incredulous. "Are you certain about this" Archetype narrowed its eyes asking this question. "Hehe… and gotcha!" Arcueid shouted pointing her finger at Archetype who suddenly felt chills. It hurriedly raised its guard up but alas it was too late.
Blood spurted out of Archetype's body surprising both of them as a being of it caliber could never bleed. The blood flew in the air before it formed a thick line before it started to swirl all around Archetype.
This scene baffled it as it felt nothing has changed. Unluckily, that was its thoughts before the item finally took its effect. The item upgraded from the simple Urn of Shadows, it has now been improved to not only damage the body but also the spirit itself. Spirit doesn't equal to soul however it surely connects to core itself.
AAAAAAAAAGGSSHHHHS!!
Archetype's howl was heard throughout the core of Arcueid who just watched the spectacle happens. She doesn't have a single clue to what the item does but since it worked then that's that. There is no need to question every happening in the world. "Heeh, to think it would affect a being like it. Does that mean my sister will be vulnerable to it? I'm curious!" Arcueid muttered enthusiastically.
She ignored the wailing of Archetype and just thought more about the matter. However when she saw that the item is slowly losing effect she snapped from her thoughts. "Oh no, is the duration ending? And it is still not dead! How tenacious" Arcueid commented before using the Spirit Vessel to curse Archetype again. Its core is slowly being eaten away by the curse making it easier for Arcueid to slowly take over the body.
It did not took long before Archetype finally dropped on the ground, its eyes lost its light as it just stared in the air with hollow eyes. Seeing this Arcueid did not feel sad or anything but just happily took over again. She is just glad that she doesn't have to die this time, it would be a hassle even for her regenerative powers.

Everyone stared in expectation when they saw that Archetype Earth finally stopped clenching its head. They waited patiently to what will happen next, whether Arcueid will succeed in defeating Archetype or Altrouge will be the one to end it. In the two scenario, Lawrence could not find a single path of success for Archetype, it is honestly pitiful.
Their waiting was over as Archetype raised its head. Upon seeing the emotionless yet arrogant eyes embedded on its face, many of them sighed in defeat. "Is this really the end of that fool? Umu! She was a great person nonetheless" Nero muttered shaking her head in dismay. There is no other way to explain this scene except that Arcueid lost.
Anastashia shared her feeling but stayed quiet, she will never admit that she enjoyed the company of that mass of energy. Their reactions though was met with the stunned gaze of Shiki, she is looking them as if gazing at idiots that cannot be save anymore. "Oi, are you idio-" Shiki was about to ask them when Archetype's voice took over hers.
"Futile. Pathetic attempt has been destroyed. Proceed to next" it said as it raised its hands to cast another spell. Anastashia and Nero turned serious ready to accept any attacks that will reach their way. This reaction of them made everyone sigh in dismay. "Alt Nagel-" Archetype muttered as another pillar of light descended from the sky.
It dropped at the spot of Anastashia and Nero who gritted their teeth waiting for the impact. It took seconds before they realized the situation they were in and their face was painted in crimson from embarrassment. ""Arcueid!!"" they both shouted glaring at Archet- no, Arcueid who just giggled at them. The attack was just a simple flash and nothing else.
"They really fell for it" Shiki muttered dumbfounded by what she just witnessed. She thought that it was pretty obvious that Arcueid already took over. "Stupidity is without a doubt scary, I'll take this knowledge into my mind" she said before shaking her head and moving closer to the group. Nero and Anastashia are already chasing Arcueid who just teleported everywhere.
The current Arcueid has the powers of her past self, meaning that she has the authority within the whole globe of Earth. She can move continents at will and even mess with the laws of it. There is no way that Nero who is still unawaken and Anastashia who just got reborn into a True Ancestor could keep up with her.
Perhaps only Altrouge, Primate Murder, Shiki Void and Lawrence could handle her right now. Besides Alaya and Gaia that is.
"Lawrence, what is next in the agenda?" Shiki asked grabbing the hand of Lawrence. She stared deeply into his eyes waiting for his next answer. Lawrence responded by smiling at her before answering it, "I initially wanted to rest already but it seems like that is not possible" he said scratching the back of his head.
The others were confused by his words but the next moment they immediately realized what it was.
KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGHHHHHK
BOOOOM!!!
A loud explosion occurred that shook the whole planet itself.
