Previously, Badr's ability to create a Clone came with many restrictions.
The skill, much like the [Queen Promotion], required Rias to designate an enemy "central target" or function exclusively within a Rating Game.
But with Badr's [Absolute Control], those restrictions were rendered meaningless.
Now, Badr had complete mastery over every ability in his arsenal. The limits imposed by the chess piece rules no longer applied to him.
This allowed him to freely use [Promotion]Â and [Clone], abilities once bound by the framework of Rating Games.
As Badr's clone emerged, radiating power equal to his own, Loki was left speechless.
The God of Mischief, who once stood proud and confident, now felt a gnawing sense of dread.
Before this, Badr already wielded strength equivalent to a Maou. Now, with a fully powered clone?
How was anyone supposed to contend with such absurd power?
Loki had believed that his forces, led by Fenrir and bolstered by other monstrous allies, would grant him a decisive advantage. But the arrival of Badr's clone shattered his confidence entirely.
"Oh, what perfect timing! That giant wolf Fenrir is all yours!" Rias said, her spirits soaring.
Beside her, Sona Sitri and Tsubaki Shinra exchanged silent looks of astonishment.
As Rias envisioned the upcoming Rating Game tournament, her thoughts brimmed with optimism. With such an overwhelming ally in her service, the championship seemed all but guaranteed.
Badr's lips curled into a smirk as his clone flew toward Fenrir, calling out to Xenovia.
"Xenovia, toss me Ascalon."
Amid her fierce struggle alongside Irina Shidou against Fenrir, Xenovia's face lit up as Badr's clone appeared.
His presence meant relief was finally in sight.
Without hesitation, she threw the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword, Ascalon, to Badr.
Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Koneko Toujou's transformation began to unfold.
A cat tail swished into view from beneath her skirt, and adorable feline ears adorned her head. Her aura surged dramatically, now radiating power equal to that of a High-Class Devil.
This was the true strength of her Nekomata bloodline, fully unleashed.
"I'll take point," Koneko declared, delivering a devastating strike that sent Hati flying.
"Koneko… You've completely embraced your powers," Akeno Himejima murmured, her eyes filled with admiration.
She straightened, determination hardening her expression. "Then I can't afford to fall behind…"
In a flash, her devil wings transformed, becoming a hybrid of Fallen Angel and devil wings.
"Lightning!"
Akeno's demonic power surged, elevating her Strength to the level of a High-Class Devil.
Boom!
With a single strike, she sent the other giant wolf hurtling away.
"Excellent! Time for the final push!" Rias exclaimed, her excitement palpable.
Her demonic power boiled over, her attacks nearing the intensity of a High-Class Devil.
Under her relentless assault, Rossweisse launched a powerful magical strike. Together, they annihilated one of the replicated giant serpents.
Seeing the tides turn against him, Loki erupted in rage.
"Damn you, pests!"
His Divine power surged violently, manifesting a massive array of magical formations in the sky.
Rossweisse's eyes widened in alarm. "Loki, are you planning to obliterate this entire dimension?!"
Indeed, Loki's unleashed power carried the potential to annihilate everything in its path.
An oppressive force blanketed the battlefield, suffocating even the strongest High-Class Devils.
In the next moment, countless beams of Sacred light rained down from the heavens, shaking the ground violently. This was the power of a Maou-Class attack.
Unlike Badr's focused, single-target strikes, Loki's magic spread destruction over a vast area, engulfing everyone present.
Badr frowned, muttering to himself, "So the mutt's gone rabid."
But this battlefield couldn't afford to be destroyed. Not far from here lay a city filled with innocent lives, and they couldn't be caught in the crossfire.
Loki raised his arms high, his Divine power reaching its peak.
"Perish, insects!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky roared as countless beams of Divine light cascaded down like an apocalyptic rain.
But Badr, unshaken, raised his hand. A silver shield materialized. [King's Shield].
Above, the black fortress shimmered with golden runes, and the shield in Badr's hand blazed brilliantly.
--[King's Judgement]!
A radiant golden aura expanded outward, freezing everything it touched in place.
The Divine beams struck the barrier, but not even a grain of dust was disturbed. If it weren't for the Overwhelming Power radiating from the shield, one might think the entire assault was a farce.
Compared to Badr's earlier use of [King's Judgement], its range had expanded significantly. It was no longer limited to protecting a few individuals but had transformed into a large-scale defensive magic.
A Group-Wide Invincibility Skill.
Loki's eyes widened in disbelief.
"This… This is impossible! That's not a Longinus! How can it wield such power?!"
Badr chuckled. "Not all Longinus are recorded in your scriptures."
Judging by its current power, Badr's [King's Sword]Â and [King's Shield], even if unrecognized as a Longinus, rivaled their might.
Loki stared in shock as his overwhelming attack was nullified with ease.
"Now's our chance!" Saji shouted, seizing the opening created by Loki's exhaustion.
Whoosh!
A purple rope shot out from the Sacred Gear bracer on his arm, coiling tightly around Loki's body.
"Got you!"
"What?! You think you can restrain me? Foolish!" Loki roared, Sacred power surging as he struggled against the bonds. But to his astonishment, they held firm.
"How?!"
"That's the curse of Vritra. It's not so easily broken, Loki" Saji said with a triumphant smile.
"This is absurd… Why would the God of the Bible create such tools? Why grant humanity the power to kill gods?"
Loki raged, his mind spiraling with questions.
But Badr had no interest in his ramblings. Gripping the [King's Sword]Â tightly, he readied his final strike.
As Loki's eyes filled with terror, Badr unleashed [King's Judgment]Â once more, the blade descending with unstoppable force.
