The avatar of Yog-Sothoth retracts her strange energy and clears her voice.

-I have delayed the meeting for a while. Let's start it now. (The Avatar)

Industria turns to Hana and hurries her to treat Beleth, Stolas and 21.

-You should turn them back now. (Industria)

Hana nods and takes out a syringe with blue liquid inside. She quickly injects those liquids into the body of the trios.

-Hah! (Stolas)

-I am still alive... (Beleth)

Three of them seem to be short of breath because of the pill's side effects. They have to breathe in and out hurriedly to regain their composure.

-Head...maid, we need to improve on that pills. (21)

-Uhm... (Hana)

After Industria helps everyone stand up, they return their attention to the avatar. She is now sitting on a gigantic throne made of tentacles.

-The ones who seek me today to create the alliance all have different purposes. (The Avatar)

-... (Industria)

-Some want to revenge. Others desire to gain more power. (The Avatar)

The avatar smiles and says out loud.

-A few seek true justice. But ultimately, many seek power to protect the loved one. (The Avatar)

The avatar stands up from the throne and points around.

-You, you and you! (The Avatar)

The avatar declares with a loud voice.

-All of you guys are the bunches that couldn't fit anywhere. Neither "Order" nor "Chaos" could be your place. (The Avatar)

The avatar says about "Order" with a ridiculing voice.

- The one staying in "Order" would feel stuffed of its shackle. A faction with rigid rules that only benefit the top of the pyramid. Are the things they do really the "Justice"? (The Avatar)

Jormungandr frowned at the unexpected statement of the avatar.

-She... (Jormungandr)

-But what about "Chaos"? Did you guys really achieve the freedom that you dreamt of? (The Avatar)

The tone of the avatar slowly changes into sarcasm.

-Or you just become the toy for the others until they get tired of your existence? (The Avatar)

The avatar returns to the throne and lets out a sigh.

-I am not here to poke into your pain but to point out the reality. I am here to allow you to regain your "Fate." (The Avatar)

The moment the avatar finished that sentence, a black chest rises from the ground where Hana and others stood. The group goes to the chest and checks its content.

-Coins? (Beleth)

-There is also an X mark on it. (Industria)

-What will we use these for? (21)

Hana stares at the avatar and says.

-She may give us a reply soon. (Hana)

-You all may have received my gift. If you want to change your fate, you should take one coin. (The Avatar)

Suddenly, a monotone voice interrupts the avatar. It belongs to one of the guests.

-What if we don't want to join you? (Guest A)

The avatar claps her hand and cheerfully answers.

-You could leave here safely... (The Avatar)

-Then I... (Guest A)

-Just kidding~ (The Avatar)

The avatar glare at the owner of the voice with cold eyes.

-Do you think you can get out of here safely when you know our secret? (The Avatar)

-No, I... (Guest A)

At this moment, all the guests' eyes fall on the voice's owner.

-You shouldn't ask me the silly question like that anymore. (The Avatar)

The avatar winks at the voice's owner.

-When you already knew the consequences of that action. (The Avatar)

-... (Guest A)

-Let's take one coin. (Hana)

-Yes, head maid. (21)

-You take one too, Stolas. (Beleth)

-Yeah... (Stolas)

-Just take them for now... (Industria)

Another voice calls out to the avatar and asks her.

-Then what should we do as a member of this faction? (Guest B)

-You mean your responsibility as a member? Aside from helping the other member in the same faction. Then you don't have to do anything. (The Avatar)

-Eh? Why? (Guest B)

The avatar tilts her head.

-Why? You say? Because you guys are too weak. (The Avatar)

The avatar speaks with a haughty voice.

-I can handle all of you here at ease. (The Avatar)

-...Is that a bluff? (Guest B)

-Sadly, it's not. (The Avatar)

No one dares to doubt and deny the statement of the avatar after seeing how easily she deals with those gods and goddesses.

-You guys need to build up your strength and become stronger. (The Avatar)

Hana stares at the coin while listening to the avatar.

-Because once those coins shine, I must put all of you into action. (The Avatar)

The avatar's voice becomes serious.

-To strike and destroy both "Order" and "Chaos". (The Avatar)

After that, the avatar makes a dimension rift and walks toward it. Before she goes, she doesn't forget to remind everyone.

-Choose wisely. (The Avatar)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the meeting, Hana and the group return to Beleth's place. Every one of them has a coin with an X mark.

-It's not like we have any choices... (Stolas)

The group takes out the robe and looks at each other with an awkward face.

-Industria! (Beleth)

Industria answers Beleth's call and turns to her.

-I still don't understand why we need to attend this meeting. It's supposed to be the fight between factions and not related to Farah. (Beleth)

Industria looks at Beleth with a bitter face.

-Because... (Industria)

Hana stood out and answered instead of Industria.

-Because our master will soon be the target of both "Order" and "Chaos". (Hana)
