Before the fifteen days , Lily acquired the information after the shadows all returned , learning about the rest of their plan ' So they're turning their attention to me and the other great beings here now ? Smart , I have been controlling some of the sealed being through the debt chain , they even want to use me to find Labyrinth and the rest . Looks like they're taking over this experiment and changing the primary subject of study '
Lily was so glad she had some proper material that she could use to incite rage and improve morale of the troops when they invade ' With this declaring a war will be so easy , Maybe I should show them the report on the result they'll be much more assured that I'd win they have been sending me a lot of messages after I sent that '
...
Now to the present , Keymaker checks the weapon that she was entrusted with " This will be something you will have to handle . Your lack of presence has stopped us from further developing it but it still works as a plan B " See said .
See sat on the throne looking at the exit which was manifested in a distant plain land with many soldier in land and sky ' We've already added the necessary tools to keep the void of space from affecting the infantry . it's a good thing their understanding of us is limited ' See thought with assurance as they continued with their duty as a ruler and heard several alerts all of a sudden .
" So you're the ruler , huh ? " they turned back to the thrown and the shadow grew large . The guards quickly attacked the growing shadow and were frozen in place as their shadows prevented their movement , allowing the shadow to speak through their souls .
' You're not human , just like that Keymaker , would be weird if you were supposed to be human . The descenders in here seem to be a mix blood to the original descenders , so I couldn't tell , but to think you were crowned ruler just because you were the closest to the original descenders , this world is truly backwards "
" Identify yourself " ' I intend to no need to demand it " Lily said " Your kingdom seems so advanced , having all the power of the descenders combined , you have so many aspects , yet for some reason , you still observe Labyrinth "
The shadow dropped the weapons on See and destroyed the defensive measures , causing See to come close to death , but it stopped and Lily got debt chains connected to them .
" I figure as much , the subject "Labyrinth" cannot just consume the body but also soul, allowing them to carry information . So the original descenders and now you wanted all this information from Labyrinth "
Lily looks through more " But it also seems like you wanted the other information that Labyrinth took , especially the races with strange physiology was something you wanted , bet you only had a little of them "
" GUARDS HOW IS SHE GETTING THIS KING OF DATA ? " See yelled " Oh Ruler , some people are stupid sometimes , I can even get your personal information , care to reminisce ? The Ruler See is a product of recreating the original descenders' bloodline by marrying together families with that kind of blood . This is all so that any descenders that were born from the mix of races that you bought in would obey because of representation . "
" ENOUGH " See attacked the shadow , sending their throne away and destroying it to the hidden room behind that held an altar ' So old yet so young ' Lily thought and the shadows all moved to the window to escape .
" OUR ENEMY IS WITHIN OUR RANKS , STAY ON GUARD " See yelled and heads to the altar , trying to use its power ' She got them too ' Lily waited in the shadow and took out the prisoner " Take a look at this " she said in the broadcast .
" This is what they've committed , they've taken a life and imprisoned it to be a source of power " the broadcast showed See's memories about the Altar " This altar , which uses prisoners to power it , it is the same thing that powers the seal of this world . "
Lily showed an image of the world seal " I've already made you all aware of how the world seal is made and the developers have also understood this . This altar uses the same source of power . This world's barrier is maintained and by trapping prisoners inside , they can access a lot of different kinds of power and this one is just one of the prisoners , they may have more "
She thinks of the developers and the many great will that were helping manage the development of the lands beyond ' Hey Developers , do any of you recognize this one ? " Lily receives a call .
" It seems like some people see the danger of them even if we never discover them , The chances of being trapped and turned into a power source are terrifying indeed . The folks who aren't greater wills won't feel any fear from this yet but in the future , you all will grow to that level now that we have created the reincarnation cycle and before you could even have a taste of that power , you could get robbed of your life "
' Now that should include everyone and incite more hatred ' " That's why we will eliminate this roof that's going to stop us " Lily said " You've already known that I'm on the same level as these great will and I intend to meet what is expected of this power and I would like to declare the start of this war "
...
See quickly stood at the altar , having it prepared as all the soldiers were moved to defend the frontline which was beside the exit ' I don't know why there's suddenly a huge difference in change , but if what Keymaker said was true , it could be that we don't know a few things . '
They first used the altar to broadcast their voice " Have no fear , the defector only has the same amount of days as we have , the difference in power is just our outdated information , as they have hidden power well "
' Now this will keep the morale from falling ' " The truth is we've experienced almost 2 years of development " See widened their eyes after hearing Lily's voice "
" 8 hours or so , we experienced almost two years of development . That time trigger you proudly used for supernovas is being used to mess with time . Your time makes you all experience less time for us to experience plenty "
See caused a loud sound , dispelling Lily's voice " ATTACK ! We won't waste another second and let them continue their advantage " ' Let's keep our advantages ' ' If she is here , then the first thing I have to do is remove her advantage '
' Troops , I need you to undo her advantage of time , tell me when you are finished with it " Several people operated the time stabilizer and finally got the time stabilized " Your majesty , we have removed the enemy's advantage " ' Good '
At the other side , many were facing the many different soldiers of different rankings in strength and both Blanc and Argus were commanding them . After soldiers appeared , they interfered with their gear and disabled their space suits' gas exchange .
They fell onto a land , confused as to where they are " What are our indicators showing ? " " They're not working " they breathe the air , assuming they were still breathing the safe air they were given .
A few hours later , the soldiers' corpse starts piling up one by one , succumbing to the artificial atmosphere and lining up in the underworld " Welcome to the underworld , we will be tallying up your workload " the reaper said as they made everyone form in lines . Outside a few soldiers noticed it and quickly reported back .
" Since we can't send infantry directly to attack the gate " ' What is that woman thinking ? She's much better than this and so far , none of the reports reveal anything unusual inside our lines but she infiltrated us somehow and hasn't made any noise '
They wanted to go out and check , but leaving the altar already allowed Lily to take a prisoner out ' There is no choice . I will have to use it for myself ... Altar I want you to be portable so I can bring you with me " the prisoners were sealed into a pocket space and the altar's functions enveloped their body .
' I didn't think you'd amount to so much . I'd be forced to do this ' Lily watched from afar with a smile and started her plan " Time stabilizer deactivated " Argus and Blank's voices echoed as they took control of the personnel and equipment .
' Now they will be able to deal with the next attacks ' Blank and Argus from the other side received the information and acted according " All units retreat , units under the given category will stay " they utilized them to create a fort while Lily looked at the weapon that Keymaker was supposed to be operating .
' It's the thing that'll get in my way ' Keymaker quickly blocks Lily's attack , pushing her away from the device " So you're a girl right ? Never had any casual conversations with one , maybe cause of my position "
Lily was very relaxed since she was the one attacking " So this weapon was something See showed you during the 8 hours , which we experienced 2 years might be the worst thing to not be aware of "
Keymaker quickly sealed Lily inside ' As long as she doesn't bring this information back , we can preserve our legacy even if it means paying the cost of losing a valuable experiment subject ... Perhaps if I bring her '
Keymaker suddenly sensed danger and jumped back as Lily dropped a powerful slash ' The shield is very strong ' Keymaker threw a punch sending Lily away ' Not good if she can't make any plans , then it would mean that she can only destroy it '
' Your majesty I'm requesting reinforcement " Lily attacked from a distance and Keymaker deflected it towards the walls . The attack landed and started to crack it but Keymaker kept her eyes on Lily , though she remained concerned with the loud cracking noise .
Lily looked in the direction of the sound , but Keymaker was too focused on keeping her guard against Lily " You know what I like about thinking ? " the cracks spread as it reached the sealing " It's that it creates a lot of variables "
She raised her hand and her tattoo unleashed a flame that dried the surroundings . Keymaker protected herself , wondering what the attack was as dust spread , she quickly formed a barrier for the weapon after seeing a bright light resembling a dragon skull .
Lily unleashed Mother's breath using the dust as explosive and ignites them all together ' She's still there and so is the weapon ' Lily picked up a fragment of the shield she broke and absorbed it . The dust settled and Keymaker threw an attack the moment she saw a hint of Lily's body as she allowed her to attack .
Keymaker feels her weapon being deconstructed and pulled back ' How do I fight an enemy like her ? ' Lily formed a sword and stabbed the shield , destroying the machine " You don't have to fight . I got rid of the thing I need to get rid of the most "
Lily disappeared "Anything to report " See asked " What do you mean didn't you hear? " See understood it was Lily's interference " Since this place is destroyed , I have some places you can go instead , tell me everything so we can prepare countermeasures " " Understood " See instructed Keymaker while they completed the complete assimilation with the Altar .
" What a fancy gadget " See blasted Lily and she retreated back leaving a silhouette of herself to take the hit as it shattered after taking the attack " I guess that is going to be hard to deal with , but can you take care of two "
Lily created another body and broke out of her body , causing it to be unstable while inhabiting the new body . She used a debt chain to command her body and it flew towards See . See takes out a prisoner and controls them to handle the body .
" So you can " Lily clenched the air , hardening it and swung her invisible sword around to intimidate See " What is your plan defector ? " Lily smirked with overflowing confidence " Taking what's yours " She used See's debt chain to cause a mental attack while they commanded a prisoner out to attack .
Lily dashed forward and the prisoner hit a hard invisible barrier above her ' Death was right . The ability to stop change is extremely useful ' she leaped forward , using herself as a bullet piercing through the puppet and was faced with another one who threw a punch that met the same result .
She pushed herself down and swung her invisible blade to cut the enemy's lower limbs while See healed their disturbed mind ' Since that's how you're gonna do it , take this ' See unleashed emotions towards Lily and she felt them overflow into her soul .
' Ugh how familiar ' she started having flashbacks of her brother and her current family ' This is an annoying attack but no matter they may feel like what I felt , but the memories aren't mine '
The illusion broke , revealing the sufferings of the prisoners and more prisoners threw their attacks while she was stunned as Lily froze them with her soul , preventing change and walked past them , releasing her hold , causing the attacks to land on the floor .
See recovered and had Lily's body trapped inside a barrier that kept destabilizing due to the body " I'll be getting that back " Lily took her body back and unleashed several concentrated attack , breaking the barrier , See flew back and faced Lily " Now that's enough warm-up "
Lily reorganized the abstract entities into singular individuals while See quickly took back all the prisoners into their altar suit . Lily summoned several mirrors and shot a light . It pierced through See and bounced around until they slammed the light down , breaking it .
' Where is she ' he smashed a mirror and the shards revealed an image of Lily's finger pointing at them as several attacks fired from the mirrors . See let's out a high-pitched sound breaking the mirrors and several hands from their shadow try to trap them on the ground , immobilizing them .
The shards of mirrors and lights formed a nail and Lily appeared with her foot up . She stomped on the light nail piercing See and watched flames burn their body resurrecting them " Don't think you're the only one with that flame " " I don't intend to rely on it , unlike you "
Lily stood on top of See and the nail's form to change as a visible line spirals from top to bottom , opening up a nail " Do you know the self-burying seed ? It was a clever invention made to bury a seed from places hard to reach the top part tends to react to certain elements allowing the seed to be drilled into the soil "
See watched more of the spiraling light nail form above " I know for sure this is how Aurora was born " Lily jumped back , dropping a dead seed into the spiral nail that already pierced See and as it contacted with the flames , it was resurrected .
Its roots spread wide and open , hungry for food , finding plenty on the nice soul beneath it " URGH " See felt their memories being consumed " That's one of the things that Labyrinth gave me , not only will I beat you , I'll show you that your ways were wrong "
The spiral nails fell and reacted to the flames as they drilled the seed on the bottom deep into See's body . They quickly relocated prisoners into these flowers , killing the one that took their memories and regained the ability to move once again as well as gaining back the lost memories .
' My memories are back in place ' Lily waves her hand as she feels for the rest of her powers and touched a wall ' There it is ' she ripped through space revealing the moon and turned back to See who removed the seeds as the prisoners were taken out ' As long as their bodies are useful it doesn't matter if their souls are gone '
" So finally got up ? " See commanded the soulless bodies to attack and Lily formed rifts separating See from the prisoners . They quickly jump towards Lily and she makes a rift form , but See passes through it unaffected .
They grabbed Lily and flung her to the ceiling where she made another rift and fixed her position . She trusted a spear forward and See felt the life force of the prisoners being taken by her as their souls were released " NOOO "
Lily swung her spear , sending See back and they commanded " Increase power output " Lily felt a surge of power coming from See and backed away . They disappeared from their position and slammed Lily through the ground as she hit floor after floor after floor .
See stood at the broken floor and pointed their weapons towards Lily , shooting a blast , pushing her further down ' That should take care of her ' a pillar of light pierced through the holes and through the ceiling of the castle and See was shocked as the automatic evasion of the altar saved them .
' That altar of yours is compensating for too much " Lily started firing shots of light from below and See's altar evaded it all for them . Lily came up with her tattoo glowing extremely bright " Look I ate your planet's core . Better make a new one "
' The forces will be reduced , but that doesn't matter ' ' Remake our planet's core " Lily dove towards See and pushed them to the sky as the altar activates its aerial capabilities . See fired an attack to make some distance and a mark on Lily's face glows .
" Here's for what you did to my dear spouse " Space was distorted and several rooms were made as a giant megastructure floated above the troops ' where am I ? ' " This is the lovely ability that Laby gave to me " Lily said with a happy smile at the other room .
She picked up a book and chanted as the words turned to solid chances and enveloped See ' This is the civilization's sealing arts that we lost ' the altar analyzes the words and breaks the chains while Lily kicked a dagger towards See .
They dodged and as the dagger hits the room , it breaks it " Soul digesting enchantments " ' This is dangerous the Labyrinth has too many anomalies ' See rush to the other room and reach out for an item until the altar warns them .
They retreated their arm from the artifact and searched for more while Lily chased after them ' She's not grabbing any , that might mean she has no intention of using them ' See finds the end of the rooms , but Lily forced more construction .
' It's a little cramp ' Lily stopped her movement , giving See some space to breathe and she stomped the ground, expanding the space ' Now its better ' she took command of the space , shifting the items and the rooms .
' Increase the output ' See dodged rising floors and falling ceilings while avoiding the items , wary of the possible effects . Lily grabbed a coal statue and kicked the stand towards See who dodged it and watched it turn what it touched into coal .
See pointed towards the ground and ignited the coal , causing an explosion that obstructed the view . Lily abandoned her normal sight and searches for him through the spiritual world ' Her biosignal is gone ' See looked left and right and felt the collection of rooms suddenly disappear .
Lily jumped through the different rooms and See spotted the burning statue of coal fall and raced towards it while Lily finally reached him , breaking the borders between material and spiritual . As See looked at the room and with the altar's thought acceleration , they thought .
' Wait , this is strange , why is she coming from there ? ' a screen appeared , answering See's questions "That is the spiritual world" ' then doesn't that mean ' See suddenly felt impending danger for their world's underworld and looked at the burning coal statue .
They shot it with great heat and turned towards the rift between the worlds . Lily took this chance and raised her hand summoning a sword and slashed down to seal the rift while See forced the altar to eject their soul and some of its functions .
Lily cuts the connections between soul and body , leaving a corpse which was assimilated with the altar ' Argus Blanc it's your turn ' Lily summoned her cane and thrusted it into the altar " Error malware attacking allocating power to protect the ruler "
The body was teleported away and the altar suit self-destructed . Lily fell as the cane fixed itself , she slowed her descent and stood by , cleaning off some of the dirt ' Since the ruler is on the other side , I'll just keep them from coming through '
Lily uses Immortals spell and strengthened the border between the material world and spiritual world making it hard to resurrect anyone from the other side . She feels the seal spread and felt it hit a solid rock .
' Immortal did tell me that the spell will have some flaws , exceptions like Death , Tanec's artificial underworld and the stones from Death's old world could create a pathway to the material world ' she searched for the solid rock the seal hit through and used the memories she got to find a route ' so that's why the altar was trying to ensure the protection of the body '
Lily opened a door to the facility containing the bridging stone to the spiritual world and found everything was utterly destroyed ' What now ? ' she felt a sword stab through her and she turned to see Keymaker ' You again ? ' between the gaps of her flesh and Keymaker's blade , her body starts to consume the sword .
Keymaker backed away slowly as Lily tried to take out a weapon , but felt her body stay still , frozen in time " You're done " Lily tried to comprehend what was supposed to be happening and froze completely solid .
" Are you okay your majesty ? " Keymaker asked and the ruler came out of the fake rubble with their body intact " Yes did you finished the preparations ? " Keymaker nodded " We'll have to abandon the Labyrinth from now on , but she carries some of its strange properties and other factors we don't know yet and we can just restart the experiment and change the subject "
' It will take years to make a new kind of seal so that the previous seal's inhabitants won't be able to find us ' " It doesn't matter that those few years of developing an environment to study her , it is just a second to our history " See said and planned for Lily's containment .
...
They went up and prepared the weapon after stopping the ranged assault ' If we keep this open for too long , we might incite the Labyrinth's wrath ' the weapon pointed towards the exit and a robotic voice said " We thank you for your service and for participating in our experiment "
The world breaker thrust a powerful attack , causing the entire world inside the seal to shake and a crack formed on the exit . It started to spread, breaking the world seal that the homeland had created to destroy the Labyrinth and revealing another layer .
" What is that ? " " Another layer of seal obviously ? " they looked at the castle , which was restored as if time had been turned back " the prisoners are out I've already sent them back home . How do you like the beautiful layer of the world seal ? "
" FIRE IT AGAIN !? " See commanded and they quickly tried to operate it " It's not budging your majesty " " Why ? " " You should've figured it out when I separated my body and soul . There's no way that sword you call unchanging would work when I'm the one keeping this chaos in my body in check " Lily said .
She threw unchanging towards the troops aiming for the ground and a soldier jumped in the way to keep it from hitting the ground " How loyal and dutiful . It's just too bad that you lost " " We're not losing " See said and Lily quickly looked into the future , which showed a bright light .
" We'll win " the planet core went supernova and the exit faded . All that was what happened " Yep you'll win by breaking the planet's core and your plan was to resurrect everyone through that facility that bridges the living to the dead , seems a bit familiar to other contingencies against me "
Lily looked at the screen that hovered below her " In short , surrender , I'm giving you an opportunity , I'm pretty good at making my enemies my allies and it's not like you have a choice so , change your ways or deals closed "
See trembled thinking about what could happen " Will the Labyrinth forgive us ? " " Not my problem " Lily manifested the debt chains " And don't even think of trying anything to my dear . they're valuable to me , not as a tool but person "
Lily gets rid of the difference in time and heads to the door ' Aesthetically pleasing to the eye . I wonder what it looks like after we get rid of that layer of protective cover ' She returned home and knocked on the door .
Beryl opened it and was surprised to see her " PAPA IS BACK " He yelled and Lily smiled . Labyrinth appeared as gas and forming their body " How did it go how many did you kill ? " " Just one but they got back because they have some great connections " Lily said and showed the debt chains .
" A gift for me ? " " You want to add a few into your collection ? " Labyrinth nodded " Unfortunately I can't really do that , how about you just make a copy ? These are people with free wills . If you just wanted to preserve their story , bringing them might not be good because they erode, you know "
Labyrinth thought of how much trouble it was to force the souls inside them to remain in a stasis so they could view their memories " Plus if you keep them alive they'll make more like the series I showed you " " Fine I won't but you're not saying this because of that promise you made with that parasite right ? "
" I mean isn't it fine to keep a copy if you don't want them to be alive ? " Labyrinth sighed " Fine I'll give them back " " Thank you dear , so what did Rate cook is there enough for another person "
