Chapter 43 - CHAPTER 43: LORD VENTRES

Mike.

For now… bye! I'm going to meet Hidori and Fruxiya! Bye 👋

Flux, Ixia & Alicia

All together: Byeee!

(Gentle wind blows as Mike vanishes in a light portal "Vwooom~")

Ixia & Alicia (telepathically)

Alicia: Hoho~ He got a really nice friend, right bestie? 💫

Ixia: Hmm, yeah… and I'm glad for that. It's rare to see him smile like that.

Alicia: Hehe~ Okay, let's go now. We've got work to do.

(The three of them vanish in synchronized light trails "SWOOOSH!")

---

A completely unknown caster ship floats in deep space metallic, monstrous, with a massive needle-like structure piercing through the clouds like a divine spear.

Energy pulses through it "VRRRMMM…!" as if a slumbering god rests inside.

Servant 1

Hmm… hey Junsi, do you know where our Lord is?

It's been a month since we've last seen him.

Junsi

Oh? Did Lord not tell anyone?

Servant 1

What do you mean by that?

Junsi

chuckles So, Soyu, basically… Lord's in the White Holy Castle. 😅

Soyu

W-WHAT?! 😨

You mean our Lord went to White Holy Castle?! Is he trying to start a war?!

("DOON!!" A loud smack echoes as Junsi punches Soyu's head)

Junsi

Bastard! You really think our Lord would start a war over nothing?!

Soyu

Owww~ It hurts! 😭

Then what's he doing there?!

Junsi

sighs deeply Believe it or not…

He's there to chill. 😑

Soyu

R-Really...? 🤨

Junsi

Yeah. You know how our Lord is.

Soyu

Yeah, but traveling 19,282,084,946,818,282,818,181,828,168,282,818,191,928,281 light years just to chill?! Are you serious?!

Junsi

laughs Well, yeah.

And the surprising thing? He got there in about… 50 milliseconds. 😏

Soyu

WHAT?! 😱

But how do you even know that?!

Junsi

Because when he arrived, the entire galaxy shook.

Black holes twisted near him due to his speed impact, and countless stars turned to cosmic dust!

("BZZZOOOOOOOM!!" space trembles violently)

Then he appeared, calm as ever, saying

"Hoho… nice to see this castle again. Let's go."

Soyu

That's insane… even for him. But yeah… for a Legend, I guess that's nothing.

Junsi

Exactly. For Legends… even the impossible is just a warm up.

(Both walk away "TAP… TAP…" echoing through metallic halls.)

Scene Shift Unknown Dimension

A gigantic, swirling structure resembling a black hole fortress looms in the void. Outside darkness. Inside a paradise of divine radiance and serenity.

Servant 1

Hmm… where is Lord Zygord?

Servant 2

If I knew, I'd tell you, Yura.

Servant 3

Hey, you two didn't hear? Lord's also at White Holy Castle.

Yura

WHAT?! To… start a war?!

Servant 1

No, dumbass! 😑

I know our Lord can act like a psycho sometimes but he's not brainless!

Yura

Then why is he there, Zinks?

Zinks

sighs Not sure.

But one thing's certain he's not there to fight.

So stop panicking and get back to your duties.

(Soft, low hum echoes "Hummmm…")

---

At Hikari Battleship

Inside a glowing celestial vessel two silhouettes sit, surrounded by monitors filled with swirling galaxies.

Servant

Hey, Hiko! Piko! Where's Lord?!

Hiko

We don't know. But he's somewhere…

somewhere we can't reach, or even save him if something happens.

Servants

WHAT?! 😨 But how?!

Piko

We don't know, dumbass! 😤

Servants

Then what can we do?!

Hiko

Hmm… we have only one option left.

We must uncover the true history of Secterism.

Not just the one everyone knows… but the one hidden deep within.

(Thunder crackles outside "KRRRZZZZZT!!" as the ship's lights flicker ominously.)
