Subaru didn't know what to do at first. His head was already spinning from what he had witnessed regarding the fates of the Royal Candidates in this timeline.
He had seen enough to get the general idea of what had happened to each of them, and none of it was pleasant.
Crusch, for instance, had been reduced to something as humiliating and absurd as a fly.
Anastasia had ended up abandoned by Eridna, left entirely alone without her usual network of support.
Felt's situation was even more bizarre and disturbing—married off to Regulus, of all people.
These weren't just unfortunate outcomes; they were catastrophic in different ways.
The fact that their new memories were still actively forming meant one thing—they were still alive in some capacity.
But alive didn't necessarily mean safe.
Their circumstances were dangerous, volatile, and full of potential for disaster.
Given the unstable individuals they were trapped with, it was entirely possible that any of them could die at any moment.
Subaru rubbed his temples in frustration.
He didn't want to waste precious time.
His priority was to search for Reina. However, after thinking it through, he realized that her current situation might not be so simple to address.
If Reina had been teleported to a very specific point in time, then it wouldn't matter whether he arrived a few days early or a few days late—he would miss her all the same.
That meant rushing blindly wasn't going to help. He needed a more calculated approach.
Instead, Subaru decided to take advantage of the time he had here.
If he couldn't immediately reach Reina, then at the very least, he could improve this world's state of affairs before leaving.
That meant helping the people here—but he wasn't about to do it for free.
He will made sure to have them owe him favors, so that if, by chance, Reina were ever to teleport into this world in the future, she would have a safe place to stay and wouldn't end up spending her time in a panic over being separated from him.
He was also going to get a hefty compensation in return for his efforts from this world.
And in this case, the compensation he wanted was nothing less than two of this world's greatest treasures: the Yin Sword and the Life Sword.
His reasoning was straightforward. He planned to use both swords to forge a weapon specifically for Gloria.
Over recent events, Subaru had come to the conclusion that, aside from Beatrice, Gloria was the only one in his circle who could stand a real chance against someone of Reinhardt's level.
And frankly, he had become extremely paranoid after everything that had happened with Beatrice.
The thought of having another ally who could handle a Reinhardt-tier threat was comforting—not just for his own safety, but for the safety of his other contracted spirits.
Beatrice was undeniably powerful, but her strengths lay in magical prowess, not physical combat.
She lacked the sheer physical reinforcement that Gloria could achieve through her Yang Magic, which could boost her physical strength to terrifying levels.
That meant a weapon was far better suited for Gloria's fighting style.
As for Beatrice, Subaru was already planning ahead.
Once he returned to his own timeline, he intended to work with Echidna to create an automatic magic tome or perhaps a magical staff for her—something on par with a Great Sword of Power in terms of threat level.
With his plan decided, Subaru wasted no time and put it into motion.
Obtaining the Yin Sword turned out to be relatively straightforward thanks to his overwhelming affinity with Yin.
By channeling his power and calling to it directly, he was able to summon this world's Yin Sword into his possession.
The Life Sword came next, and though it wasn't as simple to claim, Subaru managed to secure it as well.
Together with the remnants of Reinhardt's broken sword, these three components alone could already create a formidable weapon.
But, as the saying goes, "When God gives you something, He gives it in full measure."
In Subaru's case, while using his Aura, expanding it across the surroundings, he felt an unexpected pull—an almost instinctive call toward something.
It was very similar to how he had obtained the Yin Sword in his own timeline, so he decided to trust his instincts and follow them.
That "something" turned out to be a new Great Sword of Power manifesting in this reality. Following the pull, he allowed his aura to fully respond, and from it, the once-lost Spirit Sword materialized in his hands.
Testing the Spirit Sword's capabilities revealed that it was far more than what he expected from it.
Not only could it harm spiritual beings directly, but it could also sever the connection between Od Lagna and a person's soul, making it an incredibly dangerous and rare weapon.
Against someone like Reinhardt—whose connection to Od Lagna was arguably the strongest in existence—it would still be more like a water gun than a real threat.
But then Subaru had another idea: what if he incorporated the essence of the Dragon Sword into it as well?
With the Yin Sword, Life Sword, Spirit Sword, and the Dragon Sword's essence, Subaru could theoretically create a weapon capable of rivaling even his own Yin Sword and Life Sword in power.
The potential was staggering.
The Life Sword, in its base form, was already a terrifying weapon—it could drain vitality.
Over centuries, it had evolved to gain the ability to destroy a soul entirely.
Then, due to Subaru's Return by Death ability—which had essentially multiplied the sword's essence sixteenfold—it had reached the level where it could kill even Reinhardt.
While it wouldn't be enough to kill someone at Reina's level, it was still an absurd level of power.
However, when Gloria heard that Subaru intended to sacrifice the Spirit Sword in the process of forging her weapon, she was not pleased in the slightest. Her disapproval was immediate and obvious.
"Father, you have acquired this weapon rightfully… so why should you sacrifice it? While this concubine is deeply moved by your affection, that mongrel's broken sword combined with this world's two legendary weapons will be more than sufficient. With just those, this concubine will already be unrivalled in the majority of timelines." Gloria's voice carried both gratitude and clear disapproval, her tone leaving little doubt that she thought Subaru was overdoing it.
Beatrice, standing nearby, couldn't help but cast Subaru a side glance full of mixed emotions.
Even for her current self, the thought of Subaru willingly giving up one of the Ten Great Weapons of Power—just to slightly improve another weapon specifically intended for Gloria—was hard to accept.
A part of her was jealous, though she wouldn't outright say it. After all, the Spirit Sword wasn't just any weapon.
Subaru, instead of looking troubled by their reactions, chuckled and reached out to pat Beatrice's adorable head with deliberate fondness. "Oh, my little imouto, don't pout. In the future, I'll make sure you get your own special weapon—a staff or maybe an overpowered magical tome. Heck, I'll even make sure every single one of you has a weapon worthy of your abilities."
"Umu! I want a sword! A blazing sword!" Agni immediately blurted out, her voice buzzing with excitement as she darted around in her mana orb form.
"Father! I want a hammer! A hammer that can crush everything to paste!" Gaea declared with enthusiasm, her earthy mana orb whirling around Subaru like a small planet in orbit.
"I want a trident! I saw one in Father's memories! All the handsome Gods of Water have a trident! I shall rule the Seven Seas—wahahaha!" Aqua boasted, laughing theatrically as her mana orb spun in a triumphant display.
"I want a bow… at the level of Rama's," Sylphy said softly, almost too quietly, but the request landed with the weight of a meteor.
Subaru nearly had a heart attack right then and there.
If Sylphy had simply asked for a bow on the level of Artemis's or Apollo's, he could have easily handled it—well, "easily" meaning stealing it during a little "visit" to another world.
Ahem.
But no, she had to aim straight for Rama's bow. And not just any knockoff from some parallel verse—no, she meant the mythological, original, one-of-a-kind bow.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his mind split between two equally absurd possibilities. Half of him suspected that Lord Vishnu was actually just the Almighty God who had created the entire Omniverse.
The other half leaned toward the theory that Vishnu was some Nigh-Omnipotent—or perhaps outright Omnipotent—being weaving his own multiverse just for fun.
The only theoretical alternative would be to try and get it from the so-called "Rama Bag," but as the saying goes, gacha is pure hell.
And Subaru had no intention of walking willingly into that pit.
'Damn it… as they say, it's always the quiet ones who cause the most trouble.'
Still, Subaru reached out and patted Sylphy's mana orb form, and she shyly rubbed herself against his palm in response.
Despite their immense power, Subaru's spirits had chosen to remain in their mana orb forms.
They were already strong enough to assume human shapes, but doing so would require them to learn and adapt to new forms, their non-spirit forms would also slow down their overall growth.
Gloria, being a fully mature spirit, was the only one who had already taken and maintained a permanent human form.
With all of that out of the way, Subaru turned his attention back to the matter at hand. He had now collected all the necessary components—the strongest among the Ten Great Swords of Power. It was time to begin the forging of a new weapon.
His first destination was a volcanic region in Gusteko.
The place was a hellish environment by ordinary standards—searing heat, rivers of molten magma, the air itself shimmering with lethal heat distortion.
But for Subaru, it was no problem at all.
Thanks to his thermal resistance being boosted to an absurd 1,024 times the normal level, even the boiling magma failed to cause him the slightest discomfort.
Using his Ruler's Authority, Subaru crafted a detailed mold for an axe.
The shape came together with precision—broad, deadly, and built to channel enormous amounts of power without losing structural integrity.
"All of you except Gloria, stay inside. I don't want any of you taking an explosion head-on if something goes wrong," Subaru warned, his voice serious as he prepared for the dangerous part of the process.
"Umu! Not even me?" Agni asked, flickering brightly in her mana orb form, trying her best to look irresistibly cute.
Subaru just smiled at her, gave no verbal answer, reached out, scooped her up in one swift motion, and promptly pushed her into the safety of his soul space.
"…," Agni made a tiny, defeated sound as she vanished inside, leaving only Gloria standing at his side, ready for what came next.
Then Gloria, without hesitation, burned away her mana-formed clothing until she stood completely naked. She looked Subaru straight in the eye and declared, "This concubine is ready, Father."
Subaru forced himself to keep his composure and not take another glance at her bare form. He reminded himself sternly in his head, 'Subaru, it's your daughter! Adopted, yes, but still your daughter!'
The thought was enough to keep his mind on task, though a part of him still grumbled about the awkwardness of the situation.
Pushing away all distractions, he reached into his storage and pulled out the broken Dragon Sword.
Even in its shattered state, the weapon retained a lingering will, an echo of its former grandeur that seemed to resonate faintly in the air.
Without pausing, Subaru also drew his own Yin Sword—the real one from his original world.
First, he separated the handle from the broken Dragon Sword, carefully setting the hilt aside. He placed the shattered blade fragments directly into the mold he had prepared earlier.
Then he moved on to the next step—retrieving this world's Life Sword.
The moment the Life Sword came close to his Yin Sword, it began to tremble violently, as if aware of the fate awaiting it.
Subaru sighed in his mind and muttered silently, 'Sorry, you poor sword, but this is for the greater good.'
Without any hesitation, he cut the Life Sword into pieces, ignoring its shaking, and tossed the fragments into the mold alongside the Dragon Sword's remains.
Next was the turn of this world's Yin Sword. Subaru approached it with a more guarded attitude—he knew this one wouldn't go quietly.
True enough, the sword immediately tried to teleport away the moment he moved to break it.
Unfortunately for it, his own Yin Sword easily overpowered and destroyed it before it could escape. Its broken remains joined the others in the mold.
Finally came the Spirit Sword. Subaru felt a brief pang of guilt for this one, remembering its rare abilities and potential.
Still, he knew this sacrifice was necessary. Steeling himself, he decisively cut it down and added its pieces to the growing pile.
(A/N: This is absolutely going in the "Top Ten Anime Betrayals." Rest in peace, Spirit Sword.)
With all four legendary weapons now broken down, the mold was full of jagged, gleaming fragments.
Subaru then created a separate section for the weapon's handle.
Using his transfiguration ability, he merged the handles of all the dismantled weapons together, incorporating them into the broken Dragon Sheath to produce a thick, almost viscous metallic liquid.
This mixture was carefully poured into the mold's handle section to act as the weapon's core grip structure.
The forging process began in earnest.
Subaru unleashed a surge of fire magic, raising the temperature by thousands of degrees in an instant, directing the roaring heat directly onto the pile of weapon fragments.
But as expected, the broken pieces of the pieces of the Great Swords refused to melt—they didn't even soften under the intense magical heat.
Thankfully, Subaru had already anticipated this resistance.
He amplified his output by channeling his aura into the flames, flooding the mold with both raw magical fire and overwhelming spiritual pressure.
Gradually, the unyielding shards began to heat up.
Then Subaru added yet another layer—his KI—forcing its raw life energy into the process.
At last, the legendary metals began to break down, their resistance giving way under the combined force.
Using his psychic abilities to hold the molten fragments together, along with precise transfiguration to shape them, Subaru carefully manipulated the glowing, viscous metal.
Slowly, it began to conform perfectly to the shape of the mold, the individual essences of each legendary weapon merging into one unified form.
The process was far from over, but the foundation for a weapon of terrifying power was now in the making.
Gloria assisted Subaru by continuously pouring large amounts of pure Yang Magic into the molten metal. The energy surged, making the air around them ripple with heat and power.
"Do it now!" Subaru ordered sharply. Without a moment's hesitation, Gloria brought her hand up and, with a swift motion, severed her own finger.
No blood emerged—she was a spirit, after all—but the act was still a clear show of her resolve.
She dropped the severed finger directly into the molten mixture. Immediately afterward, she began pouring her OD—her spiritual energy—into it without holding back.
The weapon inside the mold began to blaze with intense light, emitting a strange humming sound that almost seemed alive.
At that exact moment, Subaru's right hand transformed, scales spreading along his skin until it took the shape of a dragon's claw.
He altered its form further into a massive hammer-like shape, then raised it high before bringing it down onto the mold with overwhelming force.
Boom!
Boom!
Each strike reverberated through the volcanic chamber, the sound echoing like thunder. The shockwaves carried a raw, almost primal energy.
The molten mixture reacted violently, as the powers of the Four Great Swords of Power clashed and attempted to merge.
Initially, the different essences fought against one another.
They resisted merging, each fragment trying to reshape itself back into the form of its original weapon— all struggled for dominance.
But Subaru's relentless hammering and Gloria's constant stream of Yang-infused OD forced the chaotic energies to yield.
Slowly but surely, the rebellious fragments fused together, their conflicting auras blending into one harmonious whole. The molten mass began to glow brighter, shifting into a brilliant golden hue.
Once the weapon's rough form had fully taken shape, Subaru used a surge of precise Water Magic to douse it, cooling the molten metal rapidly. Steam exploded upward in thick, blinding clouds, the hiss of evaporating water nearly deafening.
When the last hiss faded and the steam cleared, the forging was complete. The weapon was finished.
"Come," Gloria commanded softly, her voice carrying authority. The newly forged weapon responded instantly—it tore itself free from the mold with a burst of force and flew straight into her waiting grip.
It was massive—a single-sided axe with a long, perfectly balanced handle designed for both reach and raw destructive power.
Its golden steel gleamed like a miniature sun, its surface smooth yet radiating a deadly presence. Even simply holding it,
Gloria could feel its energy flooding into her, amplifying her power to an extent she had never experienced before.
This was not just another legendary weapon—it was one of a kind, a creation that had no equal in the entire world of Od Lagna.
Its nature was completely unique. Forged from two Magic Weapons, one Holy Sword, and one Demonic Sword, it carried the merged properties of all four into something entirely new.
It was a nemesis to all magic and weaponry alike.
An Anti-Magic, Anti-Holy, and Anti-Demonic weapon in one.
A weapon capable of cutting through any concept, no matter how abstract or absolute.
It could fly to its user no matter the distance, crossing even the boundaries of space itself.
It could sever a target's connection to Od Lagna, annihilate the soul, and burn the body to ashes in one devastating strike.
"Rita," Gloria declared with a confident smile, "from now on, your name shall be Rita."
Subaru clapped once in approval, watching as Gloria turned toward a mountain in the far distance. Without hesitation, she raised Rita high and swung.
The resulting slash wasn't bound by ordinary physics.
It didn't just travel through the air—it tore through space, time, shadows, life force, spiritual essence, and even abstract concepts as if they were paper.
The mountain in the distance was instantly and completely cleaved in two.
The cut was so clean that for a brief moment, the two halves remained upright before gravity won out, causing the entire slope to collapse in a roaring landslide.
Fortunately, Subaru had already scouted the area beforehand.
This part of Gusteko was heavily infested with dangerous mabeasts and almost completely devoid of humans, so there was no risk of civilian casualties.
Gloria lowered the axe with satisfaction, a confident smirk tugging at her lips. She released her grip, letting Rita float freely in the air.
The weapon hovered before her, then slowly drifted toward her body. It passed through her without resistance, sinking between her breasts and disappearing entirely into her spiritual storage space.
With the weapon secured, her mana-formed clothes returned instantly, and Gloria wasted no time rushing forward to throw her arms around Subaru.
"As expected of Father!" she said gleefully, rubbing her face against his chest like an affectionate cat. "To grant this concubine such a magnificent gift! Perhaps the only thing that could surpass this would be our consummation!" Her giggles were light, playful, and entirely inappropriate.
Subaru simply patted her head, ignoring the incestuous undertone of her words. "Let's go," he said firmly. "The longer we waste here, the more innocent people might die."
Then he smirked, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "And besides… we already have the perfect targets to test it on."
That day, the Divine Axe Rita was born—an unparalleled weapon forged by the Great Sage, destined to change the balance of power.
