Following Sora's instructions, Karasuba, Yume, and Kazehana lured their opponents to the distant sea and sky to fight, while Miya stayed above Sōten.
Her purple hair flowing, her stunning beauty, and the massive golden wings behind her accentuated her queenly elegance, not inferior to the angels who embodied beauty and purit.
"I'm sorry, Master, I'm so useless…"
Looking pale, Kuno in Sora's arms spoke with guilt.
"No, Kuno, you've done your best. It's because of your power that everyone came back alive!"
"Rest well. Miya and the others will surely win!"
Gently stroking the girl's forehead, Sora spoke with heartache as he looked at the exhausted girl.
Although Kuno's World Melody had grown strong due to his influence, casting blessings on over a hundred comrades had already pushed her to her limit.
"Matsu, Kochou, Taki, you should rest too. Leave the rest to me."
While comforting the girl in his arms, Sora spoke to the three women beside him.
In the previous battles, the girls had managed to retreat unscathed largely due to their support. Now, the three women were also lying on the side, panting and looking exhausted.
The three women didn't push themselves. They knew their condition and withdrew their abilities, but they still struggled to get up and tend to the more severely injured comrades.
The little loli was the most anxious, but her big brother had told her she had an important mission, so she obediently waited. Now, seeing her sisters return in such a state, she quickly ran to help.
Watching the busy girls, Sora smiled.
Though it was tough, it was good that they came back alive!
Without hesitation, Sora closed his eyes, extending his spiritual power into the cosmic satellite to monitor the four women's situations.
If any of them were in danger, he would not hesitate to intervene.
The images of the four women appeared in Sora's mind. While Miya was still in a standoff, Yume, Karasuba, and Kazehana had already engaged their respective opponents.
The power of the Four-Winged Angel was the "Angel's Spear," a massive spear formed by gathering energy and hurled at the enemy with devastating force. If it were to strike the land, it could annihilate an entire country!
However, due to the immense power required, it took a considerable amount of time to form the spear. The Sekirei Girls had to seize this opportunity to secure victory.
Sora breathed a sigh of relief as Karasuba, the madwoman, didn't engage in any reck behavior this time. Instead of charging head-on, she utilized her combat experience to the fullest.
She deftly dodged her opponent's attacks and struck back whenever an opening appeared. Whether it was because she sensed the enemy's strength and didn't dare to be careless or Sora's words had an effect, it seemed she wouldn't be defeated anytime soon.
Sora wasn't too worried about Yume. In terms of sheer physical strength, her petite fists were unmatched in this dimension. Combined with her rich combat experience and unlike Karasuba's recklessness, she was the most reliable.
As for Kazehana, she had the easiest time. Sora had already seen her manipulate a massive tornado to hurl her opponent into the upper atmosphere, nearly sending them out of Earth's orbit. Victory only a matter of time.
Finally, Sora turned his attention to Miya. Although she was the strongest among the four, she also bore the heaviest burden.
High in the sky, Miya's three opponents had completed gathering their energy.
Enormous and imposing, the spears had a small handle in the middle and conical tips on both ends. In comparison, the angel, who was only the size of a normal person, wielding such a massive spear seemed somewhat incongruous.
Without a moment's pause, the three spears shot towards Miya at lightning speed!
Even from tens of thousands of meters away, the sound of the air being torn apart could be heard. Due to the intense friction, the spears were engulfed in roaring flames, looking terrifying. Even though Sora knew Miya's strength, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her.
Missiles, hydrogen bombs, atomic bombs—compared those three spears, they were all nothing but trash!!!
However, the queen standing in the air showed no fear. She merely stared at the three red dots rapidly approaching her, even pulling a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
In front of the Sekirei Girls, she was a wise and passionate big sister. In front of Sora, she was a gentle and considerate wife.
But in front of her enemies, she was an absolutely domineering queen!
With just one slash—yes, Miya merely slashed the void in front of her. It looked so gentle, just like her personality.
Yet, in the next moment, the void in front of Miya cracked open!
A single sword strike that shattered the void—this was the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
Unsurprisingly, the three spears engulfed in roaring flames shot into the cracked void and disappeared into the depths of chaos…
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Sora's mouth as he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What had required all their strength in the previous cycle was now achieved with ease. Indeed, everyone had grown stronger!
"Miya, this time, we won't fail again!"
Gazing at the horizon, this was the conviction Sora conveyed to another Miya across time and space.
The battle in the air continued. With her rich experience, Miya naturally wouldn't let such a golden opportunity slip by. Her figure transformed into a golden streak of light, and with a resounding crash, she sliced the foremost Four-Winged Angel into stardust with a single slash.
Although they were creations of the Heavenly Path, the Four-Winged Angels possessed some intelligence. Seeing their companion destroyed, the other two angels fled in opposite directions, intending to regroup and eliminate this powerful woman.
Miya's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She hadn't expected the enemy to resort to such a tactic, but she didn't hesitate. Flapping her massive golden wings, she pursued one of them.
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
One after another, massive explosions reverberated across the entire Earth, reaching everyone's ears. Invisible shockwaves, like a Category 12 hurricane, ravaged every corner.
People were terrified, people wept. In this god-like battle, they felt so insignificant. The world leaders observing the battle through turned pale, their faces drained of color.
At this moment, they realized that their pride in high technology and nuclear weapons was nothing in the face of such powerful beings!
For the first time, they felt fear—fear of this worl!
Boom!!!
Another deafening explosion, and a thousand-foot-high wave rose in the Pacific Ocean. From high above, one could see a massive whirlpool reaching down to the ocean floor!
This whirlpool wasn't formed by water currents but was blasted into existence!
Putting down Kusano, Sora's figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Karasuba's direction.
"That foolish woman!"
His face showed more anxiety. Through satellite imagery, Sora had seen Karasuba slash down one of her opponents, but at the cost of being directly hit by the Angel's Spear, blasting her into the ocean depths!
Though somewhat disheveled and with many wings missing from her wings, an angel was still an angel—the most perfect existence beneath the gods.
However, seeing th angel gathering energy for its next attack, Sora couldn't help but want to slash it into pieces.
"Phew…"
Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Sora ultimately didn't act.
Landing on the water's surface, he watched the whirlpool gradually heal, quietly waiting. His bloodshot eyes revealed that his inner turmoil wasn't as calm as it appeared.
Splash!
Finally, at a certain moment, a figure burst out of the water.
Tattered and disheveled, even her silver-gray hair was a mess. But without a doubt, it was Karasuba!
"Hey? Your woman's been bullied like this, and you can still hold back from avenging her?"
Showing no sign of being injured, Karasuba still wore that wicked smile as she spoke to Sora.
Slap!
A resounding slap, Sora struck Karasuba across the face.
"Don't talk about that woman as if she's not you!"
Almost roaring, Sora's voice echoed across the sea.
"If I were to act, you'd never forgive me, would you?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Sora transformed into a streak of light and left, leaving only his words echoing in the air.
"Hehe… Yeah, if that were the case, I'd never forgive you."
Her smile widened as she caressed her slapped cheek, Karasuba licked her lips and murmured.
"My blood is boiling even more now!"
With a burst of overwhelming aura, she spread her gray, destruction-filled wings and shot towards her remaining prey.
