The Spirit Queen suffers a crushing defeat as Kireina’s allies systematically dismantle her forces. After Thor and Odin are obliterated, the remaining subordinates—Tundra, Obsidian, and Hedlehash—meet their ends through the combined might and Heart Manifestations of the heroes. Following a titanic clash between the Spirit and Dream Planes, the Spirit Queen is finally cornered by the collective assault of Freyja, Poseidon, and other reinforcements. The battle concludes with her soul shattered and her existence erased by the combined power of her own siblings.

"Who in the hell are you scum anyway?!"

"Just some space humans or something, Beowulf."

"What? That is wicked sick! Why are they starting a fight with us?!"

"They are evil, or something of that nature."

"Bwahahaha! Well, whatever!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Beowulf threw a punch and shattered straight through a Mothership. A massive crater erupted in its hull, and hundreds of human settlers from the future plummeted to their demise.

The colossal spaceship faltered and crashed directly into the ocean.

Beowulf launched himself toward another vessel. Titanic mechs and swarms of smaller automated units attempted to check his advance while cannons unleashed blindingly enormous lasers.

Clementine, serving as his shield, moved to the fore. Wielding Adamas, she neutralized every impact, granting Beowulf the freedom to unleash his true strength. He struck forward, punching through titan-class mechs, tearing out their power cores, and kicking yet another mothership down into the waves.

Erika and Harumi watched in awe as their parents single-handedly dismantled the entire alien invasion force. Beowulf and Clementine operated as an indomitable duo—their respective abilities synchronized perfectly throughout the heat of combat.

However, while their guardians dealt with the Space Humans, a swarm of brainwashed Gods targeted the two girls. Following their reunion with their respective clans, Erika and Harumi surged in power as the battle intensified. They tapped into the dormant capabilities their parents had bestowed upon them.

Erika moved with newfound speed, her werewolf transformation appearing larger and far more predatory. Harumi’s control over blood and shadow magic grew volatile—she could draw crimson ichor directly from her foes and manipulate their own shadows against them. She also completed her metamorphosis into a half-bat beast form, mirroring the primal shift of a werewolf.

The two girls, once lagging far behind, had returned to the fray. They crushed gods in every direction, obliterating them into gore or shredding their forms into countless scraps alongside the unified Vampire and Werewolf forces.

The Sun-Touched Vampires and Archdemons quickly caught wind of the disruption and descended upon them, eager to execute the girls.

"Worship the sun, you pathetic mortals!" Leviathan roared. The massive, serpent-like archdemon smashed through a dozen buildings, his jaws wide. "WORSHIP IT!"

TRUUUUM!

He discharged a gargantuan pillar of solar energy, demonic flames, and abyssal force. It pierced the very fabric of space, ripping through reality as it hurtled toward the vampire and werewolf ranks.

The power of the assault was simply overwhelming!

However.

A figure appeared before them in a blur, throwing both fists out.

BOOOMMM!!!

The beam was forced skyward, striking dozens of gods and disintegrating them to a subatomic level in the blink of an eye.

Erika and Harumi assumed it was their parents, but the savior was someone entirely different.

"Hey girls, how have you been?"

It was their dear companion.

"FRANK!!!"

Both girls cried out in excitement, rushing to embrace him. Frank knew the timing was terrible, but he could not push them away—the girls were now vibrating with intense, supernatural strength.

"We missed you!" Erika said.

"Damn it, I just want this whole mess to end already so we can go on a proper date!" Harumi added.

"I-Is that so?" Frank laughed nervously, a faint blush appearing. "Well, we really shouldn't—"

"WHO ARE YOU IGNORING?!"

Leviathan shouted, unleashing yet another beam, but Frank merely swiped his hand to redirect it deep into the heavens, vaporizing another fleet of gods.

"Gah?!"

Leviathan gasped as he felt the killing intent radiating from the other four Archdemons, who blamed him for decimating their own forces.

"I-I am sorry! I did not intend to!"

The Archdemons ignored his pleas, focusing their sights on Frank, Harumi, and Erika.

"Who are these wretched children?" Belphegor sighed, stifling a yawn.

"Just some damned kids that nobody cares about, I suppose?" Asmodeus laughed.

"Shall we bathe them in death and despair?" Mammon mused with a wicked grin.

"Kill them all!" Beelzebub roared, his giant wings buzzing furiously.

The Archdemons attacked the young warriors simultaneously. They unleashed their terrifying Primordial Sin Domains and manifested their Archdemon Holy Blood Weapons, a fusion of dark archdemonic and angelic might.

"DIEEEE!"

Beelzebub reached them first, swinging claws encased in heavy, blackened armor designed to tear through the hearts of archangels.

CLAAASH!

Frank intercepted the blow with his golden spear, staring down the towering, humanized Beelzebub—who had taken on the appearance of an archangel. His long obsidian hair, raven feathers, and scattered insectoid features made him appear truly grotesque.

"Michael, everyone else, it is time! You have all gathered enough power, correct?"

Frank invoked the Seven Archangels sealed within his Spear. Seven distinct beings emerged, each bearing unique signatures, traits, and armaments.

"W-Wha…?!"

Beelzebub and his kin gasped at the sight of their ancient nemeses—the hands, eyes, and voices of The One himself, who had cast them into the abyss following Lucifer’s downfall.

They had returned.

"We are here to bring Justice to this World, Demons."

A stunning Valkyrie-like archangel with golden locks and brilliant eyes—Michael, the Archangel of Justice, Fate, Destiny, Humility, and the Military.

"I suppose we can finally reclaim our solid forms, all thanks to Frank."

A stern figure with short hair and a lithe frame—Gabriel, the Archangel of Faith, Kindness, Creation, Destruction, Temperance, Revelations, and Messengers.

"Certainly, the debt we owe him is considerable."

A blue-haired spirit with a soothing smile and expansive wings—Raphael, the Archangel of Justice, Love, Hope, Despair, Healing, Chastity, and Medics.

"Let us compensate for the favor by purging these wicked demons!"

A warrior with long crimson hair and glowing sapphire eyes—Uriel, the Archangel of Retribution, Madness, Clarity, Wisdom, Admiration, Fire, and the Sacrament of Confirmation.

"Ah, even amidst this chaos, the world and the creation of our Lord remain truly exquisite."

An archangel with flowing pink hair and delicate eyelashes, whose golden eyes could not stop admiring the world—Jophiel, the Archangel of Beauty, Patience, Understanding, Hope, Mercy, Forgiveness, Judgement, Repentance, and the Arts.

"It is time to finish what we initiated aeons ago, demons!"

A warmongering soul with short auburn hair and fiery, blazing eyes—Camael, the Archangel of Strength, Courage, War, and Wrath.

"Death comes to all. And now, it is your turn…"

Lastly, an archangel with bruised gray skin, long purple hair, and glowing crimson eyes—Azrael, the Archangel of Death, Life, Grief, Patience, Forgiveness, Generosity, and the Clergy.

"W-Whaaaat?!" Erika screamed. "Frank, what in the world is happening?! You can summon archangels?!"

"I can now," Frank chuckled. "My Angelic Spear has grown strong enough to support them!"

"Amazing, you never cease to be incredible, Frank…" Harumi whispered.

"T-Thanks," Frank stammered with a flush. "But this is not the time for idle chat—they are charging!"

"So what if you brought some damn archangels?!" Leviathan roared, unleashing his destructive breath across the battlefield.

"They are all bums!" Beelzebub hissed, spawning a swarm of millions of insects forged from his own twisted cosmic power.

"The biggest fakes in heaven!" Asmodeus laughed, stitching millions of demonic souls into colossal weapons.

"If they are here, it only proves they were also banished from heaven, ha!" Belphegor cackled, weaving dreams and nightmares into an army of mental entities.

"What is the matter? Did The One reject your love as well?!" Mammon laughed, summoning his golden treasury and raining millions of enchanted armaments down upon the field.

The archangels retaliated in kind, clashing fiercely against the Archdemons. Their techniques showered the field in heavenly light and divine magic.

However, despite their strength, they remained inferior to the Archdemons in their true physical forms. These were merely weakened souls that had been trapped for an eternity inside a single relic.

They struggled to handle the Archdemons one-on-one and were forced to fight in coordination—a difficult prospect against five opponents and their endless legions.

Then, Frank advanced. Using the antithesis of the Gift of Life—the Gift of Death—he began to siphon the demons' vitality. He surged forward with his spear, unleashing a flurry of thrusts that pierced the Archdemons' bodies and drove them back.

Still, the Archdemons countered with their unique domains. Beelzebub’s swarms grew denser as he shifted into a gargantuan insectoid Kaiju. Leviathan summoned a demonic ocean to complement his breath attacks. Asmodeus crafted an endless underworld of shackled souls, sacrificing them to fuel his own strength. Belphegor manipulated the Dream Plane, conjuring horrors from the void. Mammon utilized his vast riches and magic to sustain them, keeping them revitalized and dangerous.

They operated as the ultimate cabal—each covering the vulnerabilities of the others, becoming a nearly unstoppable entity.

"Those demons are far too strong! We must assist them, Harumi!"

"Agreed, Erika!"

Harumi and Erika, who had stepped back momentarily, nodded in unison. They resolved to dive into the fray for Frank’s sake.

Both donned their bestial forms—Erika as a savage Werewolf, and Harumi as a Werebat Vampire. They focused on the closest target, Leviathan, and struck his visage together, propelling him backward!

BOOOM!

They darted like a blur of gold and scarlet, attacking in perfect tandem. They slashed through his hide, absorbing his lifeblood and further draining his vitality.

"NNNGGHH! DAMN…! BRATS!"

Leviathan roared, snapping his jaws at them, but both girls dodged effortlessly. Erika kicked his maw while Harumi utilized her wings to maneuver, quickly adapting to her newfound power.

"Now!"

"Yeah!"

They lunged together. Erika fired a beam of pure radiant light from her throat, while Harumi wove blood and abyssal shadows into a crushing, eclipsing star.

"Kuuaaaggh?!"

BOOOMMM!!!

Leviathan was too immense to evade. His entire head was engulfed in the blast, shattering into ruin as his massive body collapsed onto the scorched earth.

But his demonic soul flared from within, animating the headless torso as he charged back toward them.

From the stumps of his neck, dozens of new heads began to sprout.

"GYAAHAHAHA! YOU FOOLS THOUGHT DECAPITATION WOULD SUFFICE?! I AM AN ARCHDEMON, YOU STUPID BRATS!"

"Are you actually serious?!"

"This monster...!"

Erika and Harumi felt their adrenaline surging. Each heartbeat awakened more of their innate potential—the strength unlocked by their parents.

"Dad believes in me!"

"And Mom does too!"

They yelled in harmony. Their auras merged, coalescing into the shape of a massive black-and-gold wolf adorned with bat-like wings and metallic armor.

Their Heart Essence Fused Embodiment had taken on its beast form.

"HAAAAAH!"

They descended upon Leviathan. Their combined manifestation clashed against him in a brutal struggle, but the girls fought with unrelenting ferocity.

CRASH!

Leviathan was forced to his knees. His body was continuously torn asunder. Desperate, he fired hundreds of beams from his many new jaws.

"DIEEEE!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Erika and Harumi were caught in the inferno. Frank, engaged with his archangels, spotted the girls in jeopardy and rushed to their side.

However.

"Where do you think you are going?!"

Belphegor kicked him, sending him tumbling. Asmodeus trapped him in a sea of cursed souls, tormenting him with their wails. Beelzebub smothered him with insectoid swarms, slowly leeching his life-force. Mammon extracted his "value," claiming it to bolster the other Archdemons and render them even more formidable.

"Stop!"

Michael shouted, attacking her siblings in vain; the Archdemons only sneered, countering to pin the archangels down while they toyed with Frank and drained his power.

"Fufu! The end has arrived! You are all far too weak—"

"Hey, other me!"

RUMBLE!

"Gah?!"

Mammon was struck in the midsection by a blazing blue blur. A beautiful vampire-like entity emerged—his aura shimmering with celestial blue flames, his skin glowing like enchanted metal.

Mammon stared at the figure and realized he was looking at himself.

"YOU! Just what do you think you are doing, striking the original body?!"
