I manipulate the control stick. As the Millio Rocket changes shape and direction, it speeds past Annouard and heads to her at supersonic speed.
“Ashella! Grab it!”
“This is MilioRocket…! Green!?”
For some reason, Ashella, knows the name, reacts to my voice. Her hand grabs the base of the rocket.
“Transform! MilioSword!”
Following my command, the rocket changes shape, and Ashella’s hand holds the hilt. The front turns into a dangerous blade in an instant, forming a longsword.
MilioColor is made on the same scale as the giant monsters it opposes. Meaning…
“My Rainbow Armament can be equipped by Ashella!”
“This is…haha, I remember from the last time. This is a good sword, Midori!”
With a stance that seems practiced as if she had held it before, she swings the sword, tearing through the night sky.
Originally a plan inspired by action figures hobby, but it unexpectedly fits well.
“You little rascal! But how does that change anything!”
Currently, Ashella is connected to me through MilioSword. I squeeze out the remaining colored power.
“This is what we’re doing! Ashella, this is the last boost! Do your best!”
I release a green light, flowing through MilioSword to Ashella.
“I got it!”
While her total colored power doesn’t increase, the time she can maintain her giant form extends.
“What are you doing? It just means more time for me to toy with you!”
Unperturbed, Annouard releases enhanced abilities once again, attacking.
“Look, cower in self-doubt and shrink away, get blown away without believing in yourself!”
Taunting while firing a barrage with his right hand. Annouard’s thought-enhancing ability hinders Ashella’s movements…
“Horizontal slash!”
“Oooohhhhh!”
…or not! A decisive, unwavering slash cuts through the bullets and,
cuts off Annouard’s extended arm!
“Guh…!? Fool!”
Annouard clutched his severed arm and stepped backward, causing the ground to tremble as the beastly legs plunged into the river, creating a grand column of water that shook the bridge.
As if in disbelief, the red eyes behind the skull mask glowed once again.
I shouted immediately.
“Charge in next!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Ashella plunged forward. The giant monster hastily leaped aside to avoid her.
“This…! Is she completely trusting it?! Putting Banshoku Green above her own judgment! Even though he’s inferior in combat skills!”
“If Midori is! Doing something disadvantageous to me! Is out of the question!”
Declaring boldly, Ashella delivered a diagonal kick without hesitation. It exploded deeply into Annouard’s side.
“Guaah!”
His thoughts enhancement couldn’t reach me. Furthermore, Ashella only acted according to my instructions. As a result, Annouard couldn’t pinpoint the aim of my enhanced thoughts. Instead, it created openings.
“Now it’s an even match again, Annouard!”
“Ugh, over and over again! Even if you look impressive with a sword! “
Former Cleareds, now battling fiercely under the moonlight, clashed their armor and blades at close range, with Annouard mocking.
To shake her heart—no, that was actually true. Annouard declared to the humans.
“Do you understand, Ashella? You, Banshoku Green—dare to! Defined your [life] itself above your own oath! If he dies, no, if he changes his mind! You’re hopeless. Unable to absorb any emotions, just weakening and fading away!”
“!”
This, on the contrary, shook me.
(What? She can only consume my emotions?”)
That Ashella, doing such a thing.
“That’s right, Green! We spiritual beings—oops, I’m no longer! Their [definition of themselves] even affects their existence! “
As if reading my mind, Annouard’s grotesque sword pointed at me—no, at humans.
“Unlike creatures with impure flesh lives that can’t affect their own words or sworn hearts like humans do!”
As if accusing—no, that was indeed the case. Annouard pronounced to humans.
“So humans have to be dragged down from their primates and managed! Although showing power is fine, the leniency of the Great Leader is too kind! Ashella, you’ve done something irreversible!
He will eventually betray you. Deception. Betrayal. It’s something that can’t be escaped as long as humans are human. It’s original sin!”
” ……………………………………………………………… “
All I could do was glare back. The Great Leader’s ability didn’t affect me. Nevertheless, however.
Humanity—indeed, that’s what it was. Preferring to believe, creating a society based on that premise, but then betraying it.
A single cycle of self-contradiction repeated endlessly, the only form of grotesque life.
What was Taratat thinking? She didn’t lose her smile. And Ashella.
Laughed.
“I don’t care.” She said clearly. “Loving Midori is my will. I don’t need anyone’s assurance.”
“Ashella——”
“I did it because I wanted it! Do you have a problem with that, Annouard!”
With a flash, the Prism Blade severed Annouard’s left hand and sent it flying dozens of meters away.
“Damn it…! You’re not even hesitating about this! Saying something impressively ridiculous!”
“Then you should find someone like that yourself. It’s incredibly delicious!”
“I’ll pass! Love, romance, it’s all too sweet and not my preference from the start!”
Spitting out those words, Annouard leaped back to increase the distance. Standing amidst the mountains, he thrust his injured hands forward.
“In that case, it’s the final resort.”
From his perspective, we were in front, Banshokuger and everyone, and even the city where the headquarters was located was within sight.
“I’ll blow you all away with full force once again and then take a nap for a while…! As long as you guys aren’t here, everything else is manageable.”
“! That’s…!” “Ashella, don’t rush in recklessly.”
At my warning, Ashella also halted her steps. A menacing surge of enhanced red light appealed to my vision.

“That light, just by looking at it… ” “Uh, uh?”
I could see Black swaying, and Blue pressing his mouth below.
“It’s like illness starts from the mind, right? This, on the other hand, is a wave that enhances the desire for death that every life has!”
Suicidal thoughts. Suicidal ideation. There are various words for it, but.
“There’s an inevitability that every living being must face! I didn’t want to do this feedback thing because it could’ve been dangerous for me too, you know!”
As long as you’re alive, eventually, you’ll die. No one exists without giving some thought to it.
So, if those thoughts are enhanced infinitely, you’ll definitely die. No defense, no regeneration ability, not even the ability to choose death itself can help. Strictly speaking, it’s not even an attack. There’s no way to defend against it.
Even mental life will die.
The crimson sinister light increased its toxicity even more. If we avoided it, it would reach far behind us, to the city.
“Hah… they’re misusing my power recklessly.”
The voice was heard right beside us. At an altitude of twenty-six meters, on the right shoulder of the gigantic deity Ashella, and on top of her. It was so unexpected that I harmonized with her unintentionally.
“Taratat-sama!?”
“The Banshokuger have been thrown away too. Anyway, this entire area, including nature, is turning into a land of death. There’s not enough respect for life here. I didn’t intend to raise him like this, though.”
Before we knew it, the figure of the Great Leader was there. She spoke to me in a light tone.
“Well, there’s no helping it now. Hey, Midori.”
“Y-yeah?”
“I love you too ♡”
“Wha-!?”
We harmonized again.
“Ashella is doing the same thing. It’s the same. I’ll live only with your emotions too.”
It was said by the spiritual life that had experienced countless ages.
Well, it’s the end of my life, she joked.
“N-no, but Taratat-sama, if you rush like that—”
“Be quiet! There’s no time!”
With a shout. Indeed, it wouldn’t be surprising if Annouard’s enhanced thought wave was released at any moment.
And on that night, Taratat and I understood each other.
I believe in her.
“Yeah… understood! But please, I don’t want to get in trouble later! “
“Okay. Well, sometimes, spoil me a little ♡” “T-Taratat-sama!?”
Please stop. I’ll die socially.
“Farewell! Banshokuger, Ailsherad! And Great Leader!”
A red light was emitted. At the same time, a device jumped from Taratat’s neck. Colored light also spewed from her body. She had changed her [own regulations].
(From the bottom of our hearts—for us, believing in humans.)
“Don’t say such lonely things!”
Taratat’s fingertip pointed to Annouard, who was about a hundred meters away.
Sound vanished. An invisible overwhelming [power]—something beyond physicality—was released.
The light of death that had rushed towards us was stopped between Annouard and Ashella.
“W-what is this?” “Is Taratat-sama canceling something out…?”
Annouard groaned as he struggled.
“G-aaah! Wh-why isn’t it advancing!”
“Why. I’m just [making you not feel like it] dissuading you.”
I see. Perhaps Taratat didn’t interfere with the light itself, but with Annouard’s hesitation to use the dangerous technique.
“Hmm. Quite a strong will you have. Keep it up. Ashella, don’t move too much… the focus is shifting.”
“Away… from… the base… this… time!”
The skull mask clenched its teeth. The light pulsated as if trembling in place. A standoff.
But even that was only until a new source of light came from below. Towards Annouard’s raised arm.
“Huh?”
The muttered sound was from someone.
A huge explosion that drowned out that question. Pushing aside the moonlight, a blaze of dazzling colors burned the gigantic deity.
“Uoohhh! What’s happening!?”
Annouard lost his balance. The crimson light dissipated.
I realized. Below, the Banshokuger were aiming the absolute annihilation cannon. Red shouted in triumph.
“Yeah! Take that! Even if we can’t defeat you, you’ll fall for sure!”
(Did we make it in time…!?)
The final weapon we requested along with the Miliorocket.
“Now, let’s do it!”
To the command of the former Great Leader. The former executives and I responded.
“Aaaaahhhhh!!”
A cry. Ashella raised the Miliosword. Her beam energy flowed into the blade.
The silver gleaming great sword was swung down onto Annouard, whose position had become unguarded.
“Ugh, daaamn you all!”
“Sorry. We’re the Banshokuger after all.”
His arm, which he tried to defend with, was severed cleanly. The Milio Beam Sword cut Annouard down squarely.
“Ugh…”
He watched in wonder as the slash passed through him from his head to his crotch.
“Ah… after burning out, you’re cut in half. Hilarious.”
The doubled voice laughed. Then flash.
A blast flame rose to nearly a hundred meters.
