Use every ability you've got.

This could very well be the last battle of our lives—give it everything.

"Do you understand?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie asked the command center.

Masato Yasaki, faced with this situation, could only grasp at straws, saying, "Alright, we'll immediately relay your plan to the others.

Hope you manage to succeed in hypnosis!"

Ayatsuki Ayaka held the Spear of Death that Pierces Through, her expression betraying a hint of worry, but she refrained from saying anything discouraging and encouraged, "Come on! You can definitely succeed!"

"Mm!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie nodded heavily, determined to either succeed or perish.

This is our final bet.

She glanced at Aozawa and said, "Let's go!"

"No problem."

Aozawa gripped Phoenix Academy Maggie's left hand.

Ayatsuki Ayaka aimed the spear at the Dread Emperor and then hurled it forward with force.

At that moment, Aozawa grabbed the end of the spear, taking Phoenix Academy Maggie with it.

Naraku lowered his gaze, observing a crimson streak as it cut through layers of darkness, straight towards the Dread Emperor.

He smirked slightly, finding the ugly struggle of humans quite delightful.

The Dread Emperor, not foolish enough to stand still and let the spear hit, raised his left foot, a massive sonic boom erupting as the colossal foot stomped towards the Spear of Death that Pierces Through.

The previously well-lit space suddenly turned into a dense darkness, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

The air formed visible ripples like tides.

The gigantic foot pressed down along with the darkness.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's expression changed dramatically.

She had anticipated a fiery attack but didn't expect the Dread Emperor to stomp down with his foot.

Could the Sword of Promised Victory cleave it?

Phoenix Academy Maggie felt a surge of despair; she didn't even have the resolve to strike down with the sword herself, so how could she possibly cleave that leg?

I'm sorry...

She glanced at Aozawa.

His typically sharp eyes now showed vulnerability and helplessness like bubbles in the wind, with a faint hint of tears.

The script changed.

Aozawa instantly altered the outcome for Naraku and the Dread Emperor, "Maggie! I won't let you die!"

Releasing the spear with his right hand, he activated his ability of Infinity Big, his body rapidly expanding, soaring from the ground in that instant, transforming into a super Giant over four thousand meters tall, equal in stature to the Dread Emperor.

The intense wind pressure pressed Phoenix Academy Maggie onto Aozawa's fingers, but she didn't feel the slightest confinement; it was as if she stood on a spacious mountain path.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was filled with astonishment.

Could Infinity Big really grow so large?

Or could it be...

Phoenix Academy Maggie recalled Aozawa's shout, wondering if he had grown so enormous just to save her.

Between the two possibilities, Phoenix Academy Maggie chose to believe the latter.

Her heart instantly surged with vigor, her blazing fighting spirit making her grip the Sword of Promised Victory tightly.

...

Aozawa's sudden growth startled Naraku, but then he quickly regained his composure, and the Dread Emperor's floating tentacles instantly transformed into steel whips and lashed forward.

This scene, observed through the drone's surveillance, reached the eyes of the temporary command center, all the tentacles swinging to the side, missing the target.

Clearly, the Will-o'-the-wisp had taken effect.

"Go!"

The staff members shouted in unison.

This was their best chance to defeat the Dread Emperor.

The aircraft soaring in the sky launched all their missiles directly, all bomb-carrying drones charged toward the Dread Emperor's eyes.

The surviving Treasure Users also seized this perfect opportunity, Hojo Tetsuji stomped his foot on the ground, shattering the hard stone surface, transforming into a silver arrow that broke through the sky and dashed forward.

With no sound from the sonic boom, Hojo Tetsuji reached the foot of the Dread Emperor, clenched his right hand, and slammed his fist, filled with all his strength, into the Dread Emperor's leg.

Boom!

Aozawa likewise punched the Dread Emperor's cheek.

At the same moment, Phoenix Academy Maggie's fervent fighting spirit transformed into endless killing intent, golden light leaped from the Sword of Promised Victory and turned into golden Thunder, striking the Dread Emperor.

Naraku watched all of the Dread Emperor's moves miss and realized the opponent was caught in Will-o'-the-wisp.

He wanted to make a move, but the massive Bone Dragon bit down on the pale purple barrier and charged into the distance.

Immediately, layer upon layer of Heavenly Lock wrapped around the barrier and the Bone Dragon.

Morimoto Chiyoda and Hojo Shouko made a move together, temporarily restraining Naraku's actions to ensure everyone could fully launch their attack on the Dread Emperor.

...

Boom!

Missiles and drones exploded on the Dread Emperor's body, golden slashes struck the Dread Emperor's head, blood and flesh separated, and invisible threads pierced inward along the wounds.

A flying sword wrapped in purple lightning drilled into them.

The Spear of Death that Pierces Through, the Murasame and other Noble Phantasms with lethal abilities, all hit the Dread Emperor's massive body, not attacking separately but delving deeply along the opened wounds.

"Ah!"

For the first time, the Dread Emperor let out a piercing wail, followed by a heavy blow from Aozawa, "Maggie, cut off the tentacles first!"

He roared.

The Dread Emperor is set up very strong, and trying to kill him by these means is obviously unrealistic.

It needs to be weakened step by step.

First, the tentacles on the top need to be cut off. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Those tasks can be left to the other Treasure Users, while he focused on the wound created by Phoenix Academy Maggie and Arakawa Reina.

Aozawa plunged both hands into the wound, then forcefully tried to pry it open.

Crack, like the sound of potato chips breaking, his arms bulged with veins as his hands grasped the sticky yet soft flesh.

A torrent of fresh blood gushed from the rent wound.

"Ah!"

The Dread Emperor let out an ear-splitting roar, tentacles swinging, trying to lash Aozawa's body.

Phoenix Academy Maggie saw this scene, her murderous intent surged to the extreme, a flood of golden sword light over a thousand meters appeared.

She swept forward.

Thud! The sword light struck the surface of the tentacles, immediately bursting into blood, and then continued slicing forward.

The impact from the tentacles themselves, combined with the sword light, sliced through most of them.

At this point, Phoenix Academy Maggie felt an overwhelmingly dull sensation, as if the invincible sword light suddenly became rusty and dull to the point it couldn't even cut human skin.

At that moment, Hojo Tetsuji sprinted forward along the Dread Emperor's body, landing a heavy punch on the tentacle's surface, its brutal force unleashed, causing the tentacle to fall back.

The sword light became sharp again, slicing off the tentacle.

A torrent of fresh blood spewed out like a flood breaking a dam.

The Dread Emperor let out another wail.

Aozawa switched from prying to thrusting downward forcefully.

The remaining tentacles, lost their strength in the throes of agony, also made other Noble Phantasms help block them, to prevent Aozawa from getting hurt.

"Move your hands for now, let me do it!"

A roar of anger, King Vistaria stood in the wind, bathed in bright electric light, as if wearing a heavy armor formed by lightning, looking majestic and imposing.

Aozawa quickly withdrew his hands, a torrent of fresh blood spurted out from above.

King Vistaria extended his hands straight, folding them forward, the intense electric light condensed into a sphere between his palms, then shot forward like Qigong.

The spherical lightning cut through the air, landed inside the Dread Emperor's long wound, the flesh inside was noticeably not as tough as the external skin.

Crackle, the flesh instantly turned charred black.

Thunder, like a long blade, stretched straight down a hundred meters.

"It hurts!"

This caused the Dread Emperor to blur out human words, further highlighting its absolute brutality in pain.

Every tentacle turned into a powerful whip and lashed at different targets, and every mouth on the Dread Emperor's upper body opened, spewing terrifying high-temperature flames.

Yet under Aozawa's Will-o'-the-wisp effect, those tentacles whipped back onto the Dread Emperor's own body, and the flames burned on those tentacles.

Although the Will-o'-the-wisp effect was brief, it was sufficient to determine the Dread Emperor's attack direction given the quick reaction time.

The Dread Emperor took the brunt of this wave of attacks.

Aozawa swung his fist, pounding onto the charred flesh, the texture crisp like burnt potato chips.

The fist punched through, plunged his right arm into it.

"Die!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie also shouted loudly, slashing at another tentacle again.

A flash of pale purple light, Naraku stepped out from the void, grabbing Phoenix Academy Maggie's sword light with his right hand, anger shown on his handsome face as he said, "It's you who shall die!"

The situation took a drastic turn!
