The presence within Spear's form pointed toward Anastasia, ready to go against her.
Anastasia stands still in the dark, empty void of threads of fate. She gripped the spear and seemed about to attack.
Within the blink of an eye, both the dark presence and Anastasia move forward to attack each other.
The dark presence moved as if someone threw a spear from a long distance toward Anastasia.
Anastasia's spear clashed with the dark presence's, creating an insane amount of energy in a single point.
The energy on the edge point of both spears got shorter and shorter, and within time it vanished for a second before going into a big impact.
The impact blast pushes both Anastasia and the black presence backward from each other.
The impact causes threads of fate to move in different places, like someone shaking them.
Huh, this thing is crazy powerful; I have no choice but to fight it seriously.
Anastasia pointed down her spear while resting her left hand behind her. She looks seriously emotionless, and her eyes have gotten brighter and brighter, glowing in white and red colors.
"Come out, Ōmikami."
She slowly lifts her spear upward if it feels like a spear cutting through space itself and opening a portal.
The portal got widened, and in the blink of an eye, an immense white pressure started emerging from that portal.
That pressure does have some effect on Black presence, but it wasn't enough to force Black presence to leave spear form.
A white-clothed lady came out of that portal, and around her, there was an immense amount of white pressure, which she was releasing.
The white yukata seems to be compressing the massive amount of pressure coming out of Ōmikami. Her light yellow eyes were completely different from normal eyes.
Her eyes seem to be like the sun, warm and beautiful like an eclipsed sun. She seems totally calm and is staring at the black presence.
"Hey, why did you summon me? Is it because of this thing over there…?"
Ōmikami pointed her eyes toward the black presence while she asked Anastasia about it. Anastasia didn't react but replied while her eyes were completely covered in bright white and red colors.
"It's no time for play, Ōmikami. Fight it; I want to see if I have to use my powers or if you are enough."
Ōmikami turned toward Anastasia a little bit; fear covered her face a little bit as she asked gently.
"My lady… Am I permitted to use my full power?"
Anastasia nodded and went a little sideways. She didn't look back but kept staring into the empty void of threads of fate.
Ōmikami fixed her focus on Black presence and bound her hands together. She put a little smile on her face, while her eyes seemed completely dangerous, as if she was about to blow this whole place.
"Sun Dilation, The Expansion."
As she speaks, many tail-shaped flames emerge from Ōmikami's body. Those flame tails move toward the black presence to capture it.
The flame tails capture the spear shape of black presence, and in no time, Ōmikami starts pulling the spear from the black presence.
Flame tails take out the spear from black presence; firstly, the black presence holds the spear tightly, but the flame tails rip through its glowing orb body and take it out.
"You are now nothing but a core script with no body to hold it. You'll be part of mine in time."
Ōmikami threw the spear toward Anastasia, who was still staring in the dark void of threads of fate, as if she were finding something.
The spear directly hit the spear in Anastasia's hand and became part of it. Now Ōmikami opened both her hands and pointed them toward the black presence.
"Can't regenerate, Han? Well, it's because I'm the spirit of the sun who has authority over the sun's power. Light always clears darkness."
The black presence is dripping with darkness like a wound dripping with blood. The falling darkness slowly but surely comes back to a black presence after dripping from it, making it heal completely.
"Go tail of flames capture over food…"
Ōmikami turned her face downward to her left while putting a smile on her face. The flame tails move forward to capture black presence.
The tails got stopped mid-space as if something was blocking their path. They moved backward a little and hit the invisible wall against them to pass it, but they were unable to.
Ōmikami seems confused; she turns around and tries to go backward, but she is blocked by an invisible wall. She put her hand on that wall and started examining it even though it's invisible.
"Hmm, I'm trapped. B—But I didn't see that black core script move or do anything at all."
She looks toward Anastasia in search of help, but her eyes widen in shock after seeing Anastasia.
"Lady… Anastasia, w–what happened…?"
Anastasia was stabbed with her two spears on both her left and right sides. And she seems unconscious. There was not a single drop of blood coming out of the body.
Those spears were stabbed so brutally that they came out from the other side of her body.
Go, go to the spiritual realm. Don't worry, I'll be fine, Ōmikami.
Ōmikami heard Anastasia's voice in her mind, and she didn't react but nodded while a portal opened behind her. She summoned back her flame tails and stepped inside the portal.
"Geez, I didn't even use my 1% of power, and it's over. Well, what can I do if milady orders it?"
After she stepped in, the portal vanished, leaving a black presence and Anastasia's stabbed body alone in the threads of fate realm.
A portal opens far away from Anastasia; on the other side of the portal, Death, Hyacinth/Waguri, and Henry stand in shock and wonder at this portal.
The black presence moves forward at immense speed and passes through the portal. It hit Hyacinth and gave her a wide wound on the other side of the portal.
Anastasia woke conscious in her stabbed body and was barely able to look inside the portal. She raised her right hand and pointed it toward the portal.
And then she closed her fist, which caused the portal to close immediately.
There's something else in this realm, far worse than that black core script. Hyacinth or Death will handle that core script… I mustn't let that thing out of this realm and must finish it right away.
But Anastasia was barely able to move because she had been stabbed badly with the spear. It's not that spear hurting her; these kinds of wounds do not affect being like Anastasia.
The thing draining her completely is the thing causing those spears to be inside her body and preventing her from using her power.
This clearly indicates that the one who created this black core script is in this realm. But the confusing thing is, other than Anastasia, no one can come or go in this realm.
Meanwhile, in the timefall realm…
Naiadine stands hopelessly in the timefall domain, still waiting for Anastasia to open the domain's entrance.
Hmm, interesting. It seems like I'll be trapped here for a long time. Anastasia… Please be safe; he is far worse than anyone you have faced until now.
She seemed to be talking to herself in a normal sense, but then suddenly a voice came into her mind as a reply, as if she were talking to someone.
Who are you talking about? Who is 'He'? And how is he so dangerous that a divine maiden has to be safe from him?
Naiadine sighed in hopelessness and replied to the voice in her head.
See, Janus [being who controls space-time], I don't know who he is, but in the different timelines I live through, mostly in all of them, he was the root of all problems.
The voice in Naiadine's head seemed completely confused by its tone.
Hmm, no data, but how can this be possible? Wait, let me check in other timelines in which you didn't live through.
Naiadine nodded and sat on the dark infinite ground of timefall. She bound both her hands to each other around her legs and put her head on them.
Ok, but hey, be careful; no matter what you do, don't reveal yourself in the timeline, or you will also be spotted interfering in timelines, and he'll catch your eye.
Janus didn't reply for a long time; it seemed like he was already peeking inside different timelines. He is now completely fixed on finding data about the 'He' Naiadine mentioned.
