DAY 3 – KENSINGTON (FINALE)
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the tea house was so quiet, everyone could hear a needle dropped onto the Tatami.
Aoi looked at Mr. Weirdo boldly and said.
“I REFUSE!”
Mr. Weirdo stared at her for a moment.
“As I expected. So, you believe in Humans and also Ancients.”
Aoi answered boldly.
“Certainly!”
Mr. Weirdo rested his chin in his palm and looked thoughtful.
“Ah… I see.”
Aoi clenched her teeth, but she said nothing.
“… … …”
A moment later, Mr. Weirdo’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“Then, you guys will be against me from now on. Umm… My subordinates won’t have any problem with that. By the way, I’m hoping you could stay alive as long as you can. It is because your final boss would not be me or any other members from my Solstice. Haha…”
Mr. Weirdo opened the Shoji sliding doors and stepped out from the tea house. Hence, he looked heavenward and then he shouted around.
“My queen, my queen, my lovely queen?!”
A teenage girl who dressed in gothic black brocade euro court princess Victorian dress and a black pillbox hat with birdcage veil had suddenly appeared beside him.
“Yes, my true love.”
Mr. Weirdo turned around and pointed at Aoi.
“That Aoi said NO!”
The girl glowered at Aoi and said.
“As I expected.”
Mr. Weirdo turned to the girl and said.
“What about you?”
The girl curtsied and replied.
“Of course, my answer is always YES for you, my true love.”
Mr. Weirdo grinned from ear to ear.
“Good. Then, you just follow my plan and order Deadly Seven to execute it for you.”
The girl nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, she glanced over Aoi and said.
“Could I have a closer look?”
Mr. Weirdo replied with a smile.
“Certainly. Oh, once you are done. Remember to deactivate the magic seal. Otherwise, not so much fun after all.”
The girl kissed him on the cheek, then said.
“Don’t worry, my true love. I will remember.”
Mr. Weirdo blushed.
“Oh, I almost forgot. Should I wait for you for dinner?”
The girl pondered for a moment and said.
“Sure, my true love. I don’t think that would take up too much time.”
Mr. Weirdo smiled and casted a teleport spell, then he disappeared.
Soon after, Mr. Weirdo had disappeared in front of the girl. The girl had walked into the tea house and entered the room. She sat down across from Aoi. Both of them looked at each other for a while. Soon after, the girl flipped her birdcage veil up and smiled at Aoi. Then, Aoi was stocked and her jaw dropped instantly. A moment later, the girl had started the talking.
“Hello, Aoi Hamasaki. How are you in this dimension?”
Aoi’s mind was totally blank when she saw the girl face to face.
“Huh? Eh…”
The girl had burst into laughter.
“Hehe… Of course, you must be very surprised. Hehe…”
“You are? Me?!”
“I am you and you are me. However, we are in two different dimensions. But, finally we had met each other.”
Aoi took a closer look at the girl. The girl looked as same as Aoi, liked herself in a mirror. If her parents were here, they would think they were twins. Afterwards, the girl started to introduce herself.
“I’m Aoi Hamasaki Schneider. The Queen of Deathmar Schneider the Wise. In another word, I’m his official head wife. Since, you are me and I am you. Then, you can address me as Ms. Lovely.”
Aoi clenched her teeth, but she said nothing.
“… … …”
Ms. Lovely smiled and continued.
“When I had heard your decision from Mr. Weirdo. I was so happy about that. Because you are a very kind person. Haha… However, I’m not… Haha… So, if you don’t, then I will take over. Haha…”
Aoi stared at Ms. Lovely and the words chilled down her spine.
“… … …”
Ms. Lovely stared at Aoi boldly.
“Aoi Hamasaki, take a good care of yourself. I will wait for you at the final stage. Because I will be your final boss. Haha…”
Ms. Lovely stood up slowly and said.
“By the way, before I go. I have a gift for you... Head Maid?!”
Meanwhile, a teleport portal had suddenly appeared beside Ms. Lovely. Her head maid had come out from there with a wooden box in her hands. Ms. Lovely took away the wooden box from her head maid and then put it onto the Tatami. Ms. Lovely glanced at Aoi once last time and said.
“Here is my gift for you. I hope you will like it. Haha… Unfortunately, it is the time to say goodbye to you. I hope I will see you very soon… Haha…”
Soon after, Ms. Lovely and her head maid went through the teleport portal and left the tea house. Mr. Weirdo’s magic seal had been deactivated, and Time had started to flow again.
Aoi looked at the wooden box and pondered for a while. Once, she opened the box and took a look inside its content. Suddenly, Aoi started screaming when she found out that there was a human head inside the wooden box. Aoi was scared and wanted to go outside immediately.
Once, she had stepped outside the tea house. A lady who dressed in a French maid uniform with a red collar on her neck had suddenly appeared in front of her. The maid was holding a headless body in her left hand. Soon after, the maid had realized Aoi’s presence. The maid threw the headless body to the ground. Aoi was shocked once more while she was holding her tears back. She had noticed the maid was working for Mr. Weirdo and Ms. Lovely.
Meanwhile, the maid pointed at her armband and said.
“I’m Sathanus – the Fourth Maid from Deadly Seven. I represented the wrath of my lord and my lady. And I brought you this headless body of your father – Mr. Hermit as our declaration of war.”
Aoi clenched her teeth, while she was holding back her tears.
“You… Killed… My… Father?!”
Aoi had totally spaced out and her face went blank. All of a sudden, a lady had jumped over the garden’s fences and grasped Aoi from behind. Then, the lady was holding Aoi in her arms, while she was running away from the tea house. Aoi looked up to the lady and she saw a familiar face. The lady was Ms. Batons, Aoi’s mother.
On the other hand, Sathanus was staring at their backs while her face had twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile and said.
“Yes, and so?!”

Inside Throne Hall of Avalon Castle, Mr. Joker was sitting at his throne alone. He was looking at the map and was pondering for a while about his next move for this war. Then, he had realized something was there with him. So, he slowly tilted his head up while he was staring at the empty hall.
“Why are you here? Did he send you here? What does he want, now?”
A lady who dressed in a French maid uniform with a red collar on her neck had suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Joker. Afterwards, the maid pointed at her armband and replied.
“I’m Beelzebub – the Second Maid from Deadly Seven. I represented the gluttony of my lord and my lady. And I had come here to kill you as our declaration of war.”
“Tch… You are only a slave… Do you think you can complete your task? You are so… WTF?!”
Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared behind Mr. Joker. Once, Mr. Joker had noticed it presence. He tried to escape, but it was already too late for him. The shadowy figure had a weapon in its hands and instantly decapitated Mr. Joker.
Mr. Joker had not even finished up his last word, before his head started rolling on the floor in Throne Hall of Avalon Castle. Beelzebub stared at Mr. Joker’s head and said.
“Mr. Joker, you are so selfish and naive. As my lord always said to us, with confidence is fine; but with overconfidence, for sure it will kill you instantly.”
Afterwards, the shadowy figure had stepped forwards into the front. She was also a lady who dressed in a French maid uniform with a red collar on her neck. She glanced down Mr. Joker’s headless body for a moment. Then, she pointed at her armband and said.
“I’m Leviathan – the Third Maid from Deadly Seven. I represented the envy of my lord and my lady. And I had come here to kill you as our declaration of war.”
Soon after, both of them had looked at each other. Then, their faces had twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile and said.
“Take the head, and show it to the others.”
So, Beelzebub had picked up the head and put it inside a wooden box.

On the other hand, inside Valhalla Terrace from Underground Palace of Tir-na-hOige. The Fool was sitting in one of the twelve armchairs at the long tea table. And he was expecting someone to join him for dinner. Suddenly, he had stood up and stared at the memorial’s entrance. The Fool had realized there were three persons who had just entered into the memorial, and they were slowly walking towards him.
A lady who dressed in a French maid uniform with a red collar on her neck had suddenly dashed towards him. The Fool glanced at the maid while she pointed at her armband and said.
“I’m Lucifer – the Head Maid from Deadly Seven. I represented the pride of my lord and my lady. And I had come here to kill you as our declaration of war.”
The Fool tilted his head to the side and glanced over the other two persons who were slowly walking towards the long tea table. Then, he shifted his attention back to Lucifer and spoke up.
“My little brother, why does she talk like a that?”
Meanwhile, Mr. Weirdo and Ms. Lovely had finally arrived at the long tea table. Then, they sat down across from The Fool at the other end of the long tea table. Then, Mr. Weirdo looked at Lucifer and said.
“Oh, she always talks like that. Nothing unusual at all.”
The Fool replied with a smile.
“Oh really?!”
Then, Mr. Weirdo looked at The Fool and said.
“Yo, brother, how’s it going? And by the way, don't you think it is a long way to walk up here?”
The Fool glanced at Mr. Weirdo and smiled.
“Oh, I was expecting you guys will teleport into the memorial, instead of using the entrance.”
Ms. Lovely glowered at The Fool, but she said nothing. Meanwhile, Mr. Weirdo laughed.
“I was having a sightseeing in the palace. Oh, by the way. I saw several people were fighting around the palace. Is that normal to you?”
The Fool rested his chin in his palm and looked thoughtful.
“Maybe, there is a dispute in between the gardeners.”
Mr. Weirdo narrowed his eyes.
“Ah… I see. Your gardeners are so professional, since every one of them are in full gears.”
The Fool stared at Lucifer and said.
“Oh, the dress code for the gardeners is like that. You know, sometimes they have to take care of those trespassers.”
Mr. Weirdo smiled and smirked.
“So, if you need any help, my maid is willing to give you a hand.”
The Fool shook his head.
“My little brother, don’t worry about that.”
Then, Mr. Weirdo looked at the long tea table and said.
“By the way, if you don’t mind, can we join you for dinner?”
The Fool gave a half smile.
“Of course, you are always welcome here, my little brother. And I had already prepared the dinner for all of you. You see… everything is ready on the table.”
Mr. Weirdo had picked up a fork and a knife.
“Excellent. I’m hungry. Shall we start?”
The Fool glanced at Lucifer and said.
“Sure, go ahead please. By the way, little brother. Could you ask your maid to stand down?”
Mr. Weirdo winked at Lucifer and said.
“Oh, but why? Don’t you feel lonely over that? And for sure Lucifer would be one of my excellent choice of serving you during the dinner.”
The Fool laughed.
“No thanks. Although, I’m old. But I’m still capable of handling my fork and knife during the dinner.”
Soon after, Mr. Weirdo waved at Lucifer. Then, she went back to his side and sat beside him.
“No problem, my brother. I understood. Although, Lucifer wasn’t attractive enough compared to your wife. But for me, sure she is a beauty.”
Lucifer blushed while Mr. Weirdo was looking at her.
“My lord, it is my pleasure to serve you.”
During the dinner, Mr. Weirdo had not say anything. However, Ms. Lovely raised a sensitive question to The Fool.
“Brother-in-law, how is your wife doing? Or should I say your wives?”
The Fool’s eyebrows bumped together in a scowl.
“Oh, about that... Which one are you talking about? The two third or the one third?”
“Umm… Let's talk about your two third wife, shall we?”
The Fool rested his chin in his palm and replied.
“Oh, sure. I think right now, she is still in Town of Kensington.”
Ms. Lovely faked a smile.
“Wow… she went there. I heard that place is quite dangerous now.”
The Fool nodded.
“Kind of, but it depends to whom.”
Ms. Lovely smiled and asked again.
“I see. Then, what about your one third wife?”
The Fool glanced up to the ceiling.
“Oh, about her. You know what, Ms. Lovely. Once, you see her. You will be surprised.”
Ms. Lovely’s eyes widened.
“Oh, really? Why?”
The Fool burst into laughter.
“It is because you two are look the same. You and her are twins. Haha…”
Ms. Lovely gave a half smile to The Fool.
“I see. Hehe…”
“For me, she is a kind person with a warm heart.”
Ms. Lovely glanced at The Fool.
“But, that doesn’t help. Especially, during this period of time.”
The Fool looked heavenward.
“Maybe or maybe not. Who knows and I can’t tell anymore.”
“Umm… Interesting though.”
The Fool stared at Mr. Weirdo for a moment.
“Although, I really want to see the possibility of her future. But, my time is running out very soon”
Ms. Lovely also looked at Mr. Weirdo.
“Brother-in-law, for sure she will understand.”
The Fool’s forehead puckered.
“I hope so.”
A while later, Mr. Weirdo had finished up the meal. Then, he turned to The Fool and said.
“I’m full. Thank you for your delicious dinner, brother.”
“You are welcome, my little brother.”
Suddenly, Mr. Weirdo raised a question for The Fool.
“So, I’m wondering is the rumor is true?!”
“Yes, my little brother. You are right. It is true.”
Mr. Weirdo took a closer look at The Fool.
“Ugh… How does it possible? You got cursed after the First Millennium War, and you couldn’t use Time Magic anymore?! Definitely, this is absurd.”
The Fool smiled and smirked.
“Haha… Yes, you are absolutely correct… So, what do you want?”
Mr. Weirdo glanced at The Fool boldly and said.
“Umm… Dessert, anyone?”
The Fool burst into laughter.
“My little brother, so you want chocolate ice-cream?!”
Mr. Weird also burst into laughter.
“Certainly, chocolate ice-cream will be great. Haha… Oh, by the way. Can I have two scopes of that?”
“Sure, why not.”
Soon after, everyone had finished off their desserts. Mr. Weirdo had stood up and said.
“Goodbye, my brother.”
“Goodbye, my little brother.”
Then, Mr. Weirdo and Ms. Lovely had left the memorial. Meanwhile, Lucifer was staring at The Fool.
“It was our honor to kill you.”
The Fool looked at Lucifer and said.
“Don’t worry, I had prepared. By the way, do you mind to ask them to come out from your shadow.”
All of a sudden, three more ladies who dressed in French maid uniforms with red collar on their necks had come out from the shadow of Lucifer. Meanwhile, The Fool glanced over the three of them and said.
“Seriously, am I that dangerous?”
Lucifer curtsied and replied.
“To my lord, you are the most dangerous Ancients, who still alive and walks on the dimensions.”
The Fool pouted and looked at them.
“Umm… Mammon – the Fifth Maid, Belphegor – the Sixth Maid and Asmodeus – the Seventh Maid from Deadly Seven.”
The three of them bowed and said.
“Yes, it is our honor to kill you.”
The Fool laughed and said.
“The three of you represented the greed, the sloth and the lust of your lord and your lady?!”
The three of them nodded in agreement.
“I see… By the way, I just curious about. Are the four of you capable of killing me, if I’m in full health?”
The four of them shook their heads.
“Oh, I see… Then, I guess Mr. Joker is already died?!”
The four of them nodded.
“Umm… How many of you?”
Lucifer replied with a twisted smile.
“Two was enough.”
The Fool was shocked and his jaw dropped for a second.
“Wow… Then, the honor is not yours. It should be mine… It is my honor to let the four of you to kill me. Haha…”
The four of them looked at each other, while they were holding the weapons in their hands. The Fool looked heavenward and burst into laughter.
“I see… Since, the beginning of day one. It was designed as a three players Reversi game… Haha…”
The Fool was stabbed twenty-three times, while the four of them from Deadly Seven continued stabbing him as he lay defenseless on the floor of the memorial. At the end, The Fool took the final blow from Lucifer. She cut off his head and then put it into a wooden box. Soon after, the four of them had stepped out of the memorial. Lucifer turned to the other maids and said.
“According to the plan, the three of you should go back to the mansion and prepare our uprising.”
Mammon, Belphegor and Asmodeus nodded in agreement and then disappeared.
Afterwards, Lucifer flew up into the air and she was searching for the Kings and Generals within the palace. A while later, Lucifer had spotted the standoff between Berith and Astaroth. So, she decided to fly over and to meet them in person. Meanwhile, Berith and Astaroth were stared at each other.
Berith glowered at Astaroth and shouted.
“Asta!”
Astaroth glanced down Berith boldly and said.
“Beri, you and your associates should surrender before we start kicking your ass.”
Berith replied angrily.
“Hell, NO!”
The two of them had advanced towards each other, and then started their attacks immediately. However, at this moment, Lucifer suddenly flew down and blocked both of their attacks with her bare hands. Then, both of them stared at Lucifer for a while until Lucifer had spoken up.
“Queen Berith and King Astaroth! Both of your masters had died! I, Deadly Seven should eliminate all of you immediately. However, by the gracious of my lord. I’m here and give both of you and your associates a choice. A choice to serve my lord – Deathmar Schneider the Wise. So, what say you?”
Lucifer’s words chilled down both of their spines. They had known Lucifer since the First Millennium War and they had realized her words was not a joke or any other cheap trick. As a part of the Ancients race, even the two of them had joined forces. Lucifer couldn’t be defeat by the two of them.
Astaroth pondered for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
“I see… Haha… So, Mr. Joker is dead. Umm… Then, I could represent the fifteen of us and give you our answer.”
Lucifer stared down Astaroth boldly.
“King Astaroth, what is your answer?”
Then, Astaroth had kneeled down and said.
“The fifteen of us, will serve our lord – Deathmar Schneider the Wise! From this day to the end of Reversi War!”
Lucifer smiled and said.
“A wise choice… So, according to the plan. The fifteen of you should go to Tower of Babylon immediately. The task for you and your associates is to defend Tower of Babylon against any intruders.”
Astaroth had stood up and then bowed to Lucifer.
“Understood.”
Lucifer glanced down him once more.
“Now, GO!”
Astaroth immediately left the scene. Then, Lucifer turned to Berith and said.
“What say you, Queen Berith?”
Berith glowered at Lucifer and said.
“Seriously, do you think we will surrender to Mr. Weirdo?”
“As expected. Since, my lord is so generous. So, you and your associates would have a six hour of head start before Deadly Seven hunt you down.”
Berith rolled her eyes and replied.
“Oh well, thank you for your lord generous offering.”
Lucifer faked a smile and then disappeared in front of Berith. Afterwards, Berith immediately contacted Alichino.
“Hey, Ali…”
“Oh, Beri. What happened? Why all the sudden Barbariccia left in a hurry?”
“Astaroth had also left. But anyway, we better regroup first.”
“Oh really? What did happen?”
“Mr. Joker is died!”
“Wow… Certainly, it is a good idea for us.”
“However, The Fool also.”
“Huh? WTF? By whom?”
“Their little brother.”
“Damn it! Mr. Weirdo!”
“We better go now, Deadly Seven gave us six hour of head start.”
“Wow… Mr. Weirdo send out Deadly Seven to hunt us down?!”
“Yes. By the way, Astaroth, Barbariccia and their associates are now working for Mr. Weirdo.”
“As expected… But, why Mr. Weirdo wants them? They are just a bunch of trash.”
“It is about that tower again.”
Alichino paused and pondered for a while.
“… … …Tower of Babylon from the First Millennium War!”
“Yes, Ali.”
“Umm… Beri, I think we should go to Town of Kensington and find Servant first.”
“Why?”
“Because we cannot simply let Mr. Weirdo to get away for this time, and especially his plan had involved Tower of Babylon.”
“Understood. Then, I will contact others, and we will meet up at Town of Kensington afterwards.”
“No problem, Beri. See you there.”
“See you, Ali.”

Shadow City's Western District
Horsemen’s Stronghold
Inside the basement of the Horsemen’s Stronghold, the Three Sisters were helping Deadly Seven to search for the location of the cargo bay. Once, the three of them had arrived at the cargo bay. Ms. Sun immediately contacted Leviathan. A moment later, a teleport portal had been opened by the Three Sisters. Then, Leviathan had come through the teleport portal while she was glancing over the surroundings. Leviathan looked at the Three Sisters and said.
“Good job, three little maids.”
The Three Sisters curtsied and replied.
“Thank you. It is our honor to serve our lord.”
“Excellent. You girls are fast learners. Certainly, this will make our lord very happy.”
The Three Sisters nodded with a smile on their faces. Afterwards, the Three Sisters pointed to the center of the cargo bay and said.
“That golden totem is what our lord was looking for?!”
Leviathan looked towards to the center and saw the golden totem. Then, Leviathan was slowly walking towards the golden totem while a bunch of sentry guns had been activated because of her movement. Leviathan had totally ignored those so-called attacks. She just focused on the golden totem. After a while, the sounds of machine gun firing had been stopped because of those sentry guns had ran out of bullets.
Leviathan stared at it while she was pondering. Afterwards, she burst to laughter.
“For sure, it is Totem of Light City. Haha…”
Leviathan turned to the Three Sisters and said.
“All of you, good job. And now, it is the time to end the battle.”
Ms. Sun scratched her head and asked.
“You mean, the battle around Town of Kensington.”
Leviathan’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“Yes, of course. According to the plan, once we overload it. Then, it will become a time bomb. When it is detonated, within a hundred miles of the lands will scorch into wastelands. Haha…”
The Three Sisters looked at each other in fear. They were worrying that something unpleased would happen to them. However, they just clenched their teeth and said nothing at it.
Meanwhile, Leviathan took about a device, which looked like a hand-held computer. Then she connected it to the golden totem. A while later, the device had displayed a countdown timer. Leviathan stared at it with an evil smile and said.
“Let’s set it to seven minutes.”
Afterwards, Leviathan pressed a button on the device. Then, its countdown timer had started. She turned to the Three Sisters and said.
“Done! Let’s go back to the mansion.”
The Three Sisters breathed a sigh of relief, while all of them had teleported back to the mansion.

Soon after, Ms. Batons and Aoi fled from the tea house. Both of them were heading towards the southern side of the town. After Aoi had arrived at World Federation Settlement, she had slid into unconsciousness, and her body went limp. Ms. Batons immediately rushed her to the temporary hospital. Hence, the doctor had examined Aoi carefully. The sudden death of Mr. Hermit could had triggered Aoi into a coma. Although, Aoi had been stabilized with acceptable vital signs. But Ms. Batons was worrying about her daughter’s condition, while Ms. Batons was staying at her bedside.

East of Town of Kensington (Half mile away)
Eastern Highland
Mr. Devil and others were in total disadvantage against Servant. They had tried several different kinds of tactics. But, their attacks had not even made a scratch on Servant. They were low on mana and were also showing some signs of fatigue on their faces.
All of a sudden, Servant had stopped her attacks. She looked heavenward for a moment. Then, she turned around and was dashing back to the settlement instantly.
Mr. Devil turned to Ms. Fortitude and said.
“Babe, What the heck? Why did she leave?”
“Honey, I have no idea at all.”
“Babe, should we go after her?”
“Honey, we should order the others to go after her.”
“I see. Good idea, Babe.”
“Honey, both of us should head back to the command post and have a rest.”
Mr. Devil turned to Ms. Chariot and Mr. World.
“You two, now go and pursue Servant.”
Ms. Chariot and Mr. World nodded and started the pursuit immediately.

Ten miles away of Town of Kensington
Southern Country Road
After several rounds of sword crossing, it seemed Mr. Emperor and Mr. Death were in a deadlock situation. Although, both of them still got the spirit to continue the duel. However, it seemed both of them were showing a bit of fatigue on their faces.
Suddenly, Ms. Traitor received a call from Servant while Shin King Kuma was chasing after Ms. Empress in the woods.
“Huh? Are you serious? WHAT? Huh? Retreat back to the settlement at the south side of the town? Wait… Ugh…”
Soon after, Ms. Traitor had lost the contact of Servant. She immediately turned around and shouted to everyone.
“Listen, Big Four! Mr. Joker and The Fool are dead. Although, I’m not sure it that true or not. However, Mr. Death and I will retreat back to the town.”
Suddenly, Mr. Pope turned to Mr. Emperor and said.
“Mr. Emperor, a moment ago. I had felt our master’s presence had gone. Maybe Ms. Traitor is telling the truth.”
Mr. Emperor pondered a moment and replied.
“I see. Then, we should also go to the town and look for Mr. Devil and his team.”
All of Big Four nodded in agreement. Then Mr. Emperor turned to Mr. Death and said.
“We, Big Four will also go to Town of Kensington and try to find out what had happened to our master. So, we would like to cease any attack during this time period.”
Mr. Death replied with a smile.
“Sure. We have no problem with that.”

Town of Kensington
Downtown District
Although the supplies convoy had arrived with fresh water, food and medical supplies. However, the battle was still not in their favorite. Both of the northern and eastern defense had been pushed back by the enemy. The enemy had been advanced forwards into the downtown district of the town. Furthermore, the defense line had been reformed at the southern side of town. During this hour, Origin Six and Underdogs were clashing with the enemy at the downtown district, while Servant was still fighting against Mr. Devil and his team near the eastern highland.
Servant had contacted Ms. Wheel of Fortune, while she and Underdogs were fighting against the Horsemen and their Suits Armors.
“WHAT? Retreat back to the settlement? Wait… Huh? Okay, okay, we will…”
Afterwards, Ms. Wheel of Fortune shouted around the battleground.
“Retreat back to the settlement. NOW!”
Everyone looked at her while questions were roaming inside their minds. Then, she looked heavenward and said.
“The Fool is died! We have to go back and protect the settlement. THIS IS AN ORDER!”
Members of Origin Six and Underdogs were puzzled for a moment. However, they had not ignored Ms. Wheel of Fortune’s order. All of them had started heading back to the settlement immediately.
Meanwhile, the Horsemen had not given up the pursuit. The Horsemen had ordered the Suits Armors and also the army of undead to advance forwards to the south.
17:54
South Side of Town of Kensington
Southern District (World Federation Settlement)
Soon after, Origin Six and Underdogs had found out Aoi was in a coma. All of them had gathered up outside the hospital. Meanwhile, Mr. Death and Ms. Traitor had also arrived in the settlement with Big Four behind them. Meanwhile, Ms. Wheel of Fortune was trying to make contact with Servant. However, it seemed Servant could not be reach. Then, Ms. Wheel of Fortune looked at Big Four and said.
“Big Four, I hope all of you will keep your promise.”
Mr. Emperor looked at Ms. Wheel of Fortune and replied.
“We won’t attack anybody within this town. We just want to confirm the rumor is true or not.”
“Okay, then just wait here for a moment. I think Servant must know the answer, since she is the closest person to The Fool and also Mr. Joker.”
Soon after, Big Four nodded in agreement. Several teleport portals had suddenly appeared around the settlement. Ms. Wheel of Fortune glanced over one of the portal and she saw a person was walking out from it. Later on, nine more persons had also arrived at the settlement through several different teleport portals. Afterwards, Mr. Death and Ms. Traitor had realized some of them were Kings and Generals from the First Millennium War. So, Mr. Death waved at them and asked.
“Are you, Beri?”
Berith turned around and saw Mr. Death and Ms. Traitor.
“Wow… is you, Mr. Death and also your wife, Ms. Traitor too.”
Ms. Traitor scratched her head and said.
“What brings you here?”
Berith turned to Alichino who was standing beside her. Soon after, Alichino saw Mr. Death and Ms. Traitor. Then, Alichino looked heavenward and said.
“The Fool is dead.”
Everyone had shocked when they heard the news. Then, Mr. Emperor asked Alichino.
“What about Mr. Joker?”
Alichino glanced at Mr. Emperor and said.
“So, you are from Big Four. I see… Unfortunately, Mr. Joker is also dead too.”
Everyone is in silent for a while until Servant had arrived at the scene. Servant looked at Berith and said.
“Beri, you lead all magic casters in here to start casting the strongest defensive spells.”
Then, Servant turned to Alichino and said.
“Ali, you lead all the attackers in here to hold off the enemy for a few seconds.”
Servant glanced over the surroundings and noticed every one of them was staring at her.
“EVERYONE! BOTH OF THEM ARE DEAD! AND NOW SOLSTICE HAS DECLARED WAR ON KILLER INCORPORATION!”
Everyone had suddenly woken up from the abyss when they had heard the name – Solstice. Berith and every magic casters were chanting their strongest defensive spells. Meanwhile, Alichino was leading the attackers into the frontline and tried to hold off the enemy as long as possible. Origin Six, Underdogs, the ten members of Kings and Generals had started to work together as a team. Even Big Four was also helping out at this critical moment.
On the other hand, Ms. Wheel of Fortune turned to Servant and asked.
“Number One, what now?”
Servant looked into her eyes and replied.
“Number Two, I will try my best to protect every living things in here.”
“Huh? Servant, what do you mean?”
“Deadly Seven had activated the self-destruction sequence of that totem.”
“WTF! Are they insane?!”
Servant had put down her Pandora Box on the ground. Then, she gave her Pandora Box a set of commands.
“Calculate three-dimensional shield location… Calculate shield energy consumption… Simulate shield level on impact… Simulate shield level recovery during impact...”
A digital voice from her Pandora Box had respond.
“Calculating… … Completed… Simulating… …. Completed…. Computation… Completed.”
Servant gave her Pandora Box another set of commands.
“Simulate best-case scenario result versus worst-case scenario result… Recalculate energy adjustment… Recalculate shield energy level adjustment…”
The digital voice from her Pandora Box had respond.
“Simulating… …. Completed…. Recalculating… … Completed… Computation… Completed.”
Servant gave out her final request.
“Initialize and activate now…”
The digital voice from her Pandora Box had respond.
“Initializing and activation… Completed.”
Then, Servant had shouted it out loud.
“SVALINN!”
The digital voice responded.
“Affirmative.”
Pandora Box had opened up its cover and instantly several of vertical and horizontal beams of light had shot out to the sky above the settlement, which had created a divine class of magic shield around World Federation Settlement. Meanwhile, a blast wave of lightning was heading towards Town of Kensington from the eastern sky along the horizon.
Servant looked heavenward once again and said.
“The Fool, this is the best I could do for now… My love, I will see you very soon…”

Devil’s Triangle
Floating City of Atlantics
Mansion of Ms-nht
Inside the Grand Dining Hall of the mansion, there were nineteen people who had gathered at the dining table by their beloved host and hostess. Several minutes later, the host and the hostess had stepped into the dining hall while their maids were following behind them. All of the nineteen people had stood up from their dining chairs and bowed sincerely to the host and hostess. Soon after, the host and the hostess sat down in royal chairs. All of them had also be seated.
At the center of dining table, there was a floating crystal panel. This special crystal panel had the same function as a magic planetarium. At this moment, this panel was showing video images of the divesting explosion from the Horsemen’s Stronghold and its impact on Town of Kensington.
Several minutes later, the video signals were gone because of its shockwave impact onto the divine shield. Then a werewolf who wore a white laboratory coat had spoken up at the dining table.
“Marvelous! Haha… I knew that would happen since the First Millennium War. But, most of the races would not believe in my research during that time.”
The host replied with a thumb up.
“Haha… Congratulation, Doctor! Your research had finally pays out.”
Doctor Mistfang bowed and replied honestly.
“Thank you very much, my lord and my lady. I won’t be able to do that kind of research without your funding.”
With a heavily sigh, Mr. Weirdo continued.
“Unfortunately, I believe Servant had activated the divine shield and protected the southern of Town of Kensington.”
Doctor Mistfang glanced over the table and said.
“Don’t worry, my lord. All of us in here are looking forward to kick their butts and smack their faces.”
Mr. Weirdo smiled and Ms. Lovely giggled. Then, Mr. Weirdo turned to the others and said.
“Excellent! We, SOLSTICE shall rule over all of the seven dimensions. Once, Tower of Babylon is ready. There is no one could be able to stop us.”
Everyone around the dining table were clapping their hands with cheers. Then, the lady in a black steampunk high-low corset dress looked at Mr. Weirdo and asked him a question.
“My lord, when will you sent us to the battlefront? I’m looking forwards to meet some of those people from Killer Incorporation.”
Mr. Weirdo smiled and replied.
“My dear and most beautiful vampire, Comtesse Pedita Vhampir. Please don’t be hasty. The game had just started. There would be a lot of opportunities for every one of you to show-off your supremacy over them.”
Hence, Comtesse Pedita Vhampir blushed and giggled.
Afterwards, Mr. Weirdo glanced over to everyone around the dining table and said.
“Our countdown had already been started. Six hour later, we will hunt them down without mercy.”
Then, Ms. Lovely’s face twisted into a horrible rictus of a smile.
“There shall be only one Aoi Hamasaki in the seven dimensions. Definitely, is me! Haha…”
