"...weiss-san! Rossweisse-san!"
Rossweisse finally heard Kisuke's urgent calls, "W-what!?"
"Concentrate!"
The Magic Power within the Magic Circle was already on the verge of going wild. Rossweisse bit her lips and hurriedly put her hands on the ground and tried to control the raging waves. Soon enough, she was able to take it under control and followed Kisuke's lead to connect certain points of the spell to Great Red's body while also encircling it within its own barrier.
Rossweisse thought that it was going smoothly despite her initial response but all of a sudden, the space above where the corpse of Great Red emerged began cracking and a second later, a pair of hands forcibly pried their way into it and parted it apart, [So this is where it went.] a metallic voice resounded and was heard beyond the confines of the island while also revealing the Dimensional Gap.
A seven-meter tall mechanical humanoid with five eyes in total, two on each side and one on his forehead that shined with gold, peeked through the gap. His body had a tint of black and purple with thick limbs, but the most striking thing was the oppressive aura he was releasing that even Issei, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't stop himself from shaking.
Naturally, as one of the two nearest to him, Rossweisse also momentarily lost her focus from fear and seemingly lost all hope.
"Rossweisse-san! Wake up! If you don't want to die, ignore that guy and continue the linking!" Not just raising his voice, Kisuke also used her own aura to offset the aura that was crashing on them. Although he had to put quite an effort into it contrary to the latter who was only casually standing over the Dimensional Gap.
Thanks to that, Rossweisse managed to gather her sanity back but she was still nervous if the barrier was going to make it in time.
[Hoh? What is this amusing thing?] The terrifying Evie stretched his arm out, attempting to reach out, and made Rossweisse almost disgrace herself in front of many people.
Nevertheless, her worries proved to be worthless when a pair of twins suddenly appeared standing on top of Great Red's corpse.
The black-haired pair instantly grabbed the Evie's attention, [Now this is interesting. Let's get started.]
However, Ophis and Lilith have no plans of playing along with him and joined their hands before pointing their free palms toward him, "Begone."
In the next second, an unimaginable amount of energy gathered between their hands as the symbol of the Dragon of Infinity floated up.
The Evie stopped reaching out and felt the threat of these girls. Without hesitation, he crossed his arms in front of his chest and balled himself. At that moment, a 20-meter wide jet-black beam of annihilating energy blasted from the 'twins' palms and destroyed the boundary between space and enveloped the horrifying mechanical lifeform.
The pillar of most destructive black light lasted for about ten seconds before it dissipated. Although it went towards the Dimensional Gap, the residual heat from it started melting the ice caps in its surroundings.
The 20-meter hole began healing itself to stabilize the world but those who were at the right angle could see that the Evie had been pushed back for about 100 meters, but aside from a few scorch marks, there was virtually no damage on him, [Fuhahaha! That's it! Show me more!] his screams of glee reverberated throughout the whole area.
'Even though just a few seconds of that is enough to fully vaporize most of the Gods... Such a disgusting amount of defense.' Thought Kisuke while finalizing the barrier. That came from someone who others thought had a 'disgusting amount of defense'.
A golden blade made out of pure energy then sprouted from the Evie's left arm and it continued extending until it was 50 meters long. From Kisuke's estimate, that 'casual' blade had the same amount of energy that Ophis and Lilith just released and made him sweat a little. Thankfully, it was already too late for him to act as the pair had already bought enough time for him.
Just as he was about to dash forward, a transparent membrane with a myriad of colors rapidly expanded out from Great Red's body. The Evie tried slashing this membrane with its blade but he was shocked that he was only able to make it ripple like water before being pushed back until he couldn't be seen by native eyes anymore.
But before he could disappear, Kisuke saw its 'eyes' full of rage while looking at him. It's as if Kisuke had just snatched a toy out of his hand, 'Now that's scary...'
The translucent barrier went on to continue expanding beyond everyone's perception and a dome of black covered Great Red as if acting as his monument.
However, those were the least of everyone's worries as they scrambled to report everything that they had seen today. After all, they were just quietly and peacefully watching Kisuke complete his enormous project when it was suddenly revealed that Great Red had died, used as the core of the spell, and the appearance of who may be his killer.
Contrary to their expression, Kisuke just sighed in relief and stretched his numbing arms, 'That went more smoothly than I hoped.'
He then approached Ophis and Lilith, silently staring at the black dome, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
There was no answer for a few moments and since no one could enter the island now except for Rossweisse who chose to take some distance after reading the mood, Kisuke just waited.
Eventually, words escape Ophis' mouth, "...It'll be quiet from now on."
Kisuke smiled and sat down next to them and asked next, "You won't ask why I didn't help him?"
Ophis looked at him and returned a question, "Why would I?"
But Kisuke just quietly stared at her with a small smile on his face. As for Lilith, although she was able to synchronize her memories with Ophis, she didn't have any direct interaction with their 'rival' so she could just curiously stare at their now lifeless adversary.
After a few moments, Ophis opened her mouth. However, she didn't know what she should say as this was one of the instances where a complicated feeling fogged her thinking. Although she always looked at Great Red as her enemy for the longest time, it also meant that he was the only one who could even remotely understand her as someone sitting on the peak. As there were only two of them in this world, the two of them developed a unique connection that the two of them could appreciate.
Now that he's gone, Ophis doesn't understand where this unknown feeling is coming from even though she always thought that she'd achieve peace when he was gone.
Thinking about Kisuke's question, she understood that there was no way he could help him in the face of that being. Even then... She hoped. She didn't know why but even though it's logically impossible to help Great Red, she hoped that Kisuke could have done something and not just strike a deal with him to use his body.
As such, the second question came up, "Can you?"
Kisuke stood up and patted her head but refused to provide an answer. But from that, Ophis got an answer and it was a 'no'.
Turning around, Kisuke went to Rossweisse's side and explained the ordeal they went through. But the latter could only grimace as Kisuke didn't provide any information beyond 'Great Red was killed by an Evie and I used his body as the core to keep them out, just as he wanted.'
While evading further questioning, Kisuke returned to his Mars base and went straight to one of the rooms where Ophis's clone is located.
