I dawned my battle gear, which consist of Ars Goetia, Incognito Zero, Fallen Starlight, and Quirinus.

Incognito Zero is the newest weapon in my arsenal, or armor would be more accurate. This piece of silver chest armor has the ability to reflect and double all damage that hit it, simple but effective.

Oh, and I can't forget, Walpurgis Festival.

"Why are you gearing up for battle?", Hoa asked me, leaning against the door out of my room.

I merely smile, "My dearest friend, of course, there will be a battle. We are talking about the weapon made specifically for killing, after all."

I walked towards her, getting into her uncomfortable zone...

"I would like your help.", I demanded, pressing my lance ever so slightly toward her.

"What's in it for me?", she smiled back, inching away from my lance.

"You've been living in my ship rent-free. And besides...", I took off my glasses, letting her feel the full weight of my gaze, "How much energy can you absorb?"

"This human disguise? Probably enough to power Earth's electricity for half a century. But my true form? I can confidentially say... an infinite amount.", her black eyes dilated to red with an orange hue.

"That's why I need you, my best friend.", I opened the door, and I got behind her.

I laid my hands over her eyes, and I softly whispered...

"Trust me, you need me more than you think. And I want that flame of yours... my Regent...", I got closer... and I licked her ear.

"EWWW!!", she pushed me away, "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"Hahaha! Nothing at all.", I walked away with a shrug.

Then I turn my attention to Utopia.

"My Knight, configure the ship around the stump. And put up as much protection as possible.", I've equipped him with Ouroboros Omniscia, if there is anyone capable of using its full potential, it would be him.

"[As you Command, Your Highness.]", he replied over the comms.

I held my free hand out, and Utopia gave me a microphone.

"This is your captain, we are about to reach the stump of Yggdrasil, The Worlds Tree. Meet me in the command room so we can discuss our strategy."

I took in a deep breath... hahahaha~ this will be fun.

As the mechanical mermaid grabbed the stump, it reformed its entire body, gears shifting, pistons pumping, and hundreds of signals traveling throughout the 400-meter-long ship. Control by the pinnacle of inorganic life.

Utopia, The Knight of Silver.

His new body, although inferior to his original, is still capable of assisting his Princess. Bit by bit, his body became a dome, pumping out water that quickly dried off thanks to the heat radiating off of the sword in the middle.

Quickly he put energy shields around the sword to protect his components, and to cut off the heat from damaging his sensitive parts.

He opened a door, letting three people into the arena made of cosmic wood.

The tall red slug-like man, six legs standing tall and mighty, a body of pure muscle. He wears a metallic black mask with two slits exposing his flaming eyes, and mane-like tendrils forming his wings. Surtr, the Blacksmith of the End - the Strongest Jury of the Pale Court.

Next was a woman made of red and orange fire, surrounded by a hue of blue. Though contained, Utopia feels the power within her can instantly wipe out fifteen percent of all life on this planet in an instant. Such power belongs to Fthaggua, the Regent of Fire Vampire - First Herald of The Madden Flame.

And finally, a princess clad in silver. Wearing a breastplate made from the remains of the strongest shield in Greek history, Incognito Zero, and dawning herself a silvery blue hooded trench coat woven from 72 demonic hearts. In her left hand, she wields a grey spear with glowing red spikes jutting out from the body, white and red electricity crackles ever so often. On her back is a folded marble rifle, circuit veins, and Runes glowing a faint blue color. Under that hood is short silver hair in a wolf cut, stopping just above her collar. Her face was covered by a metallic mouth mask, exposing her sharp glowing blue eyes full of prejudice.

She was Utopia's princess, Charlotte Silvi Sillarco, The Silver Princess of Humanity - The Records of Mankind.

And on the other side, from the obsidian blade's red aura, it manifested a woman of fire. She wears an imitation of Viking leather armor in bright gold, with pyres as fur around her collar. Hair flowing like lava, and eyes burn like the sun itself.

"Father... you are here.", a faint smile bloomed on her face.

"It has been too long, Elderstahl.", Surtr spoke, "It is time for the final step of your creation."

"So that is why you have been away...", she held her hand out, creating a obsidian sword similar to the one behind her but smaller. Elderstahl then pointed her sword at Charlotte, specifically.

"But why is she here."

Charlotte merely smiled underneath her mask, her eyes displaying her amusement, "I will be the one providing the oil for quenching you, dear Blade of the End."

"Uhh...", she moved her neck looking at Surtr, "Father?"

"She has the necessary ability to finish you. Miss Silvi, care to demostrate?", he spoke.

"Sure~", Charlotte stabbed her lance into the stump of the tree.

VVRRROOOOMMM—

A strange sound emits from the tree...

Everyone was silent, waiting for something to happen. But nothing did.

"Alright, I'll deal with this later.", Charlotte sighed.

Because as interesting as this tree stump is, she wants a taste of using that sword.

"From Imagination and Dream...", her eyes dilate to a silver color.

"Come forth Innovation!"

Visible black sludge flooded out from her chest, forming a puddle underneath her feet.

"Embrace Infinity, Dive into the Endless Abyss..."

And she sunk into the sludge of Imagination and Creativity, embraced by the darkness... only her laugh can be heard.

"From the Bottomless pool of Delusion and Aspiration, I shall Realize my Ambition."

She rose up from the pitch black pool, her hair dyed black like the starless night, yet still retained the shine of her hair. Her trench turned black, obtaining a more tattered yet more elegant form as if they were flowing without the wind.

She closed her eyes, "No matter how Beautiful or Horrific those Wonders are..."

The Reverie underneath reformed into a silver book, floating next to Charlotte.

"I will Restore them all the same."

She opens her eyes, smiling widely.

"That is my Reverie."

"Does she do this all the time?", Surtr asked in a hushed tone.

"Yes, yes she does.", Hoa nodded.

Charlotte just rolled her eyes. Then she raised her left arm forward, commanding the Book of Akasha to float in front of her.

"Get ready to be submerged, hahaha~...", she laughed, "I command you, Book of Akasha... Flood."

The book opened, flipping upside down... from the blank page of the book, Reverie Sludge spewed out like a broken faucet. Then it gathered— heading towards the black blade like a tsunami.

Elderstahl raised her sword in an attempt to block the incoming wave. But Surtr raised his hand.

"This is for your completion. Let it embrace you.", he commanded, stomping the ground with his foot.

Hearing his command, Elderstahl let her sword down— the flood of Reverie consumed her body, and then they surrounded the sword, boiling and vaporizing even before reaching the blade.

But Charlotte does not relent.

"Come forth, My World of Chalk."
