The reinforcements arriving were none other than Chachamaru, Chacha-zero, and Xiao Ber, with fifty warships following in their wake. As soon as they appeared, the battleships immediately broke into squadrons of five, launching ruthless attacks on the dinosaur army, holding back the formidable invaders.

Upon seeing Chachamaru, Setsuna grew visibly excited, but her expression became complicated when she saw Xiao Ber, as she knew something truly unpleasant might happen next.

Indeed, just as Setsuna thought this, Xiao Ber summoned her ultimate Noble Phantasm—the Sky Sovereign.

That vibrantly colored divine bird reappeared before everyone’s eyes... Setsuna instantly shuddered, nearly being bitten in half by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

“Sky Sovereign! Encourage her!”

Due to her distraction, Setsuna’s movements slowed, and she finally could not escape the ‘catastrophe’ Asuna suffered that day. As Xiao Ber pointed a finger and the Sky Sovereign fixed its gaze, Setsuna was immediately struck… And then, Setsuna erupted! Setsuna went berserk! Setsuna became possessed by a demonic spirit! Setsuna transformed into a Three-Sword Style user!

After being encouraged by the Sky Sovereign, Setsuna's combat power multiplied several times over. Truly, she was unstoppable, mowing down anything in her path; even Mikoto and Suigintou stared wide-eyed, utterly stunned.

“Alright, next up…” After ‘taking out’ one opponent, Xiao Ber turned her finger toward Mikoto. Mikoto’s face changed, and before the other could finish speaking, she turned into a streak of electricity and vanished hundreds of meters away.

“Hey, don’t run! I wanted to boost your combat power!” Xiao Ber cried out in surprise.

“No way! My combat power is already sufficient!” Mikoto retorted without looking back, transforming into an electric flash and fleeing even farther… While gaining combat power was a good thing, she certainly didn't want to become so ‘passionately unrestrained’—it was too humiliating!

Although the Sky Sovereign's buffs were potent, it still needed to target its subject. Mikoto’s electric flash had exceeded its dynamic vision, making it impossible to lock on. Seeing this, Xiao Ber was inwardly displeased but powerless, having no choice but to give up on Mikoto… there were still others.

“You’re next! Sky Sovereign, enco—oh dear?” Xiao Ber reached out to point at Suigintou, but before she could finish, she suddenly realized Suigintou had vanished. She searched around and finally spotted Suigintou far away, but before she could aim, the figure blinked away again.

“What’s with all the running around? Now I can’t encourage you,” Xiao Ber pouted immediately.

Suigintou, however, completely ignored her. Seeing Setsuna’s state, she too felt a pang of fear. She didn't know if she would become stronger after being encouraged by Xiao Ber, but one thing was absolutely clear to her… in that state, she could never become Alice!

So, Suigintou decisively utilized her N-Field to slip out of Xiao Ber’s sight.

Meanwhile, the battle between Chachamaru and Chacha-zero had also begun. One was a mobile arsenal; she only needed to stand there and fire, as her ammunition was virtually infinite. The other could arguably be called the strongest combat puppet in this world; despite her small stature, her combat power was immense, juggling several colossal Tyrannosauruses with ease.

Xiao Ber glanced sideways at them, feeling deeply disappointed in the pair. Her Sky Sovereign’s abilities were useless against them; one was machinery, and the other a wooden doll, neither possessing latent potential worth encouraging... Although Suigintou was also a puppet, as one possessing the World Heart and an artificial spirit, she was different; those two elements represented her potential.

“In that case, I suppose I’ll just weaken your combat power instead, hehehe!” Helpless, Xiao Ber aimed her finger at a Tyrannosaurus Rex, chuckling sinisterly, “Sky Sovereign, Despise it!”

Voom!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was despised, but… while the Despise skill was powerful, its target needed to be a creature rich in emotion, like humans or demons. But Tyrannosauruses were animals; what human emotions did they possess beyond instinct? Instead of becoming dispirited, being despised only made it angrier.

How dare a petty little bird despise the majestic King of the Land!

Thus, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which had been preparing to attack Setsuna, immediately changed course and charged toward Xiao Ber at top speed.

“Whoa! Why didn’t that work?” Xiao Ber jumped in alarm, but reacting quickly enough, she immediately switched tactics: “Sky Sovereign, Disregard it!”

The Sky Sovereign glared at the Tyrannosaurus, and the creature’s body instantly shrank by one circumference, but its speed increased even further.

“Whoa!” This time, Xiao Ber’s face turned pale with fright. Although she had shrunk the Tyrannosaurus, its size was still akin to a small mountain compared to them, giving it an absolute, overwhelming advantage. Moreover, although the Sky Sovereign’s state was invincible, it possessed no combat power itself; if it were engaged in close combat, wouldn't they be finished!

Xiao Ber panicked. The timid girl immediately squeezed her eyes shut, pointed her finger at the Tyrannosaurus, and shouted with all her might: “Disregard it! Disregard it! Disregard it! Disregard it…”

The Sky Sovereign was clearly panicking too; its courage was little more than its master’s. Its eyes began to blink rapidly: I glare! I glare! I glare, glare, glare…

After a long while, Xiao Ber suddenly felt the Sky Sovereign patting her, signaling that it was safe. Only then did she bravely open her eyes. She saw a ‘fly’ bumping into her front…

Xiao Ber froze for a moment, tilting her head to think for three seconds before remembering that this fly was the Tyrannosaurus Rex from before. She immediately snorted coldly, pulled out her pseudo-Holy Sword from her bosom, and brought it down with a swat… and just like that, the ‘fly’ was slapped flat.

Afterward, Xiao Ber stood proudly, withdrawing her Holy Sword with an air of profound solitude.

Noticing that her divine bird seemed somewhat shaken afterward, Xiao Ber crouched down and gently stroked its feathers to comfort it: “Sky Sovereign, don’t be afraid. We can’t use the Aura skill yet. Once our experience points reach the breakthrough, we can use the Idiot Aura against these brainless creatures, hmph!”

Xiao Ber spoke with great enthusiasm, her eyes shining with ambition, as if she could already see herself conquering the world with the Idiot Aura.

Following this, Mikoto, Suigintou, and Setsuna fought individually, while Chachamaru and Chacha-zero helped Xiao Ber deal with the enemies she had already weakened. The fifty warships were divided into ten teams for interception… Aside from a few stragglers who slipped past their defense line, the majority of the dinosaur army was held back.

And those few dinosaurs that broke through were disintegrated by the magic cavalry on the city walls before they could even reach Oskitia. The battle was proceeding smoothly, and the visible dinosaur army was dwindling rapidly.

Meanwhile, the five-on-five World-Class battle also entered its final stages. Although the projected ancient creatures were formidable, they were significantly inferior in both combat experience and abilities. Furthermore, once their combat methods were understood, finding a solution was not particularly difficult.

In her fight against the Magic Bird, even though Evangeline managed to suppress it temporarily with physical techniques, the creature’s resistance was astonishing. Attacks that could shatter mountains and cleave rocks barely scratched it, and it even absorbed ice magic at absolute zero, which greatly irritated Evangeline… Invincible against both physical and magical attacks—it was an unkillable monster.

However, since the Magic Bird was a species extinct for over a thousand years, it must have a weakness. Finally, after striking its weak point, Evangeline abandoned direct attacks and fed it her magic instead. After devouring nearly three-quarters of Evangeline's magical power, the Magic Bird could finally endure no more and exploded to death.

In summary, the Magic Bird was a profoundly greedy creature; it would never refuse food, but there was a limit to the amount of magic it could consume. The result was obvious: it could not contain all of Evangeline's magic, so… it was literally stuffed to death.

In fact, even Mokona could have dealt with this thing. Mokona’s magic was nearly infinite; stuffing a Magic Bird to death would have taken minutes. Other than this point, the Magic Bird truly had no weaknesses; even Evangeline couldn’t kill it without sufficient magical reserves, otherwise, she would have been the loser.

The Harpy likely suffered the most gruesome death; she was utterly tortured to death by Sakuya.

With the aid of the Moon Clock, Sakuya’s time abilities were greatly enhanced, allowing her to impose massive restrictions even on World-Class experts. In this state, the Harpy couldn't even scream her banshee cry; she couldn't move at all, being slowly flayed alive by Sakuya’s throwing knives… the degree of cruelty was definitely five-star.

To outside observers, the Harpy appeared to have been slaughtered by Sakuya without effort, but in reality, the fight was incredibly grueling for Sakuya. The Harpy possessed powerful regenerative abilities and terrifying sonic waves; several times, she nearly broke through Sakuya’s space-time restrictions, threatening to break her composure… Without the Moon Clock, Sakuya would likely have lost.

Even so, after winning, Sakuya was panting heavily. While using the Moon Clock greatly increased her abilities, it also dramatically increased the burden. Prolonged use had reached her limit; she couldn't manage another opponent.

As for the battle between Lakan and the Ancient Dragon Tree, both were masters of brute force. But Lakan was truly a bug; his stamina surpassed that of the Ancient Dragon Tree. After nearly half an hour of both pouring out their full strength, the Ancient Dragon Tree was the first to collapse from exhaustion!

Of course, Lakan wasn't faring much better, even if he hadn't fallen. At least, this was the first time everyone had seen him so tired that he sat directly on the ground.

Among the five, Al was perhaps the one who had the easiest fight. Since the Giant Bear couldn't fly, no amount of strength could reach an enemy in the sky. Thus, Al only needed to throw Gravity Spheres without pressure. After grinding for half an hour this way, the bear’s body, possessing diamond-level durability, was finally blasted apart.

However, an easy fight didn’t mean an easy victory. The moment the Giant Bear was destroyed, Al’s internal magic was completely depleted, causing him to fall straight out of the sky and crash into the bear’s remains… nearly dying.

When Konoe Urun's fight concluded, his hands and feet were trembling, not from fear, but from exhaustion. To prevent Yamata no Orochi’s flames from reaching the capital, he swung his sword more than a dozen times every second, and every strike was at full power. Even for someone with the strongest swordsmanship, maintaining such a state for half an hour was unsustainable.

Fortunately, Konoe Urun managed to decapitate the Great Serpent Yamata with a final strike; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

For Scarlet Wings, this battle was no less intense than the one twenty years ago against the Creator. If the Creator had summoned such a creature back then, they would have had no hope of winning. For Sakuya, this struggle was not much different from those she faced in Gensokyo; the difference was that last time, both she and Remilia had lost, whereas this time, they won.

When the battles on their side concluded, Mikoto and the others had also finished eliminating the entire dinosaur army and descended from the sky one by one.

“So, next, only his side remains unresolved,” Evangeline said gravely, arms crossed. Among the five World-Class fighters, she was the best off; after all, she had only had her magic absorbed, and she wasn't tired at all herself.

Everyone knew who Evangeline was referring to, and their expressions grew worried. If the projected beings were this powerful, how strong must the Creator be? Did Lin Luo truly have a chance of winning?

“Let’s just wait here for now,” Al sighed. At this moment, they were incapable of facing the Creator, and even one World-Class expert might be too much for them.

“Father will definitely be fine.” Among everyone present, only Suigintou held absolute faith in Lin Luo. Although others viewed it as blind adoration, having someone believe so firmly was not a bad thing.

No one spoke further after that. Some stood, others sat on the spot, silently recovering their strength, but it was clear that their expressions were not optimistic. Mikoto paced back and forth, and Sakuya tried to distract herself by spinning her throwing knives.

Of course, a few people kept their eyes fixed on Xiao Ber. Since Xiao Ber was Lin Luo’s Heroic Spirit, as long as Xiao Ber remained, Lin Luo would not die. Conversely, if Lin Luo died, Xiao Ber would certainly suffer negative repercussions.

Time slowly passed. After about ten minutes, a black spot suddenly appeared above everyone’s heads, and a vast power surged forth from within as the spot gradually expanded.

Everyone’s faces changed instantly, and they all readied themselves for battle, sensing the Creator’s aura.

But to their surprise, Lin Luo emerged first. Although he looked utterly battered, his entire body almost drenched in blood, everyone was filled with joy, for as long as he was alive, nothing was insurmountable.

Then, almost simultaneously, another figure descended from the blackness. However, upon seeing this person, the faces of some immediately changed, for they saw not the Creator, but… Nagi! A
