Oedipus and Beezelbub stood on the ruins of the Lonely Mountain Castle, whispering quietly about something.

Beezelbub stood with arms crossed, relaxed, as if she were not on a battlefield but in the backyard of Erisburg.

Suddenly, a red light flashed.

Turing landed on the ground not far from the two.

"Oedipus…"

Turing began to softly chant. Her gaze was sharp like a dagger, aimed at Oedipus, as if she wanted to tear her apart.

"Turing, you've come."

"Long time no see, you've grown into a young lady," Beezelbub said with a smile.

Her smile held no trace of irony, as if she truly felt happy for Turing's growth.

"Though your age has increased, it seems like your abilities have not changed at all~~ hehe."

Just when Beezelbub seemed like a gentle older sister, she immediately turned to mock Turing.

Beezelbub's rapid emotional changes made it impossible to grasp her true feelings.

"Beezelbub, step aside."

"I'm not looking for you."

"Oedipus must die today."

Turing's magical energy fluctuated uncontrollably, bursting out from her body. They floated in the air like devil's claws.

But Beezelbub seemed to find something amusing, holding her stomach and laughing heartily.

"It's been nearly a year since we last met."

"Have you only learned how to be wicked?"

Standing beside Beezelbub, Oedipus spoke lightly.

"Even a word like asking your mother to die, you can say without hesitation."

"You truly disappoint me, Turing."

"You're worse than the worst son in this world."

"You're neither filial nor obedient, and definitely not smart."

"The only thing worth mentioning is your ability to learn, which I passed on to you."

"What use are you, really?"

Turing's face twisted in anger.

She was different this time. Faced with Oedipus's words, Turing's fighting spirit, like shifting sand, was not crushed but grew stronger.

She stared at Oedipus, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Shut up, vile creature!"

"I am a woman! Merka's fiancée! Apprentice of Dunquerque! Friend of Yorkshire!"

"I can never be the son of a despicable beast like you!"

"I will no longer be influenced by your labels!"

"I will make you taste the pain of losing everything!"

Turing drew a black and white sword from her body, poised with the sword held in front of her chest.

With two broadswords, one black and one white, Turing unleashed a terrifying melody with her monstrous strength.

Turing's imposing aura surged, pointing directly at Oedipus.

"Don't say too much to them, Oedipus is best at manipulating hearts."

Merka arrived just in time, appearing from behind Turing, his wings retracted as he landed beside her, whispering to Turing.

"Merka?"

Turing exclaimed, surprised to see Merka at this moment.

She felt a tug in her heart, seeing Merka's warm and familiar face, which gradually eased her tension towards confronting Oedipus and Beezelbub.

Merka gently reached out and placed his hand on one of Turing's tightly gripped hands on the sword hilt.

"Remember what I told you that day at Red Port."

"I will always be by your side."

Rubbing Turing's tense hand, Merka turned to her with a mischievous smile.

"Let's turn the tide together."

Turing widened her eyes unconsciously. Then she nodded heavily at Merka.

"Descent of the Holy Son."

With a bang, intense white flames erupted from Merka's body. In an instant, the white flames spread to Turing's body.

Turing's clothes and hair were instantly dyed white like snow by the flames.

Turing, lifted gently by the white flames, looked like a bride born from a blooming white lotus.

Turing opened her eyes slightly, her once blue pupils glowing with golden determination.

But seeing this scene, Beezelbub couldn't contain her laughter, even tears escaping her eyes.

"Both of you are truly ignorant."

"You have never seen true power…"

Beezelbub laughed and shook her head in resignation.

"Have you… flown to the moon?"

"Approached the center of the Earth?"

"Swum in the sun? Had tea on Mars?"

"I've done all of those."

Beezelbub smirked, suppressing her laughter, and suddenly addressed Turing calmly.

"And you, my poor Turing."

"I've turned a blind eye to you all along."

Otherwise, after that incident at Red Port, I would have shot you dead with a spear."

"Yet here you are…"

"Still daring to…"

"Still daring to confront me directly!!?"

Beezelbub suddenly expanded in size, her bones concealed red muscles and fox fur, breaking through her skin like mushrooms after rain.

Five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters, twenty meters—Beezelbub's height kept increasing, seemingly about to poke a hole in the crimson sky.

Even Oedipus had to take a few steps back to avoid being inadvertently injured by her immense size.

A monstrous creature appeared in Merka and Turing's sight. It roared, a deafening sound wave sweeping as if to shatter everything in the world.

The red clouds in the sky pressed down further, as if to support the scene.

Nine heart-like figures suddenly appeared above Beezelbub.

Nine blood columns burst out like judgment day, pumping vast amounts of blood crazily into Beezelbub's body from the nine hearts.

Nine waterfalls poured forth dark blood like a torrential rain.

In Turing's eyes, the nightmare-like waves of black and red blood cascaded from the heavens, rushing straight towards Beezelbub's back like knives.

Suddenly, a spark ignited somewhere, causing all nine waterfalls to merge into a grand aerial display of fiery flames.

Beezelbub slightly lifted her head from the fiery hurricane, looking down disdainfully at Turing and Merka below.

"Is… that the Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Even the usually composed Merka, seeing this unbelievable sight, involuntarily opened his mouth, stunned.

Waving her massive arms like mountains, Beezelbub tore through the flames, let out a roar, causing the entire city of waves to tremble like an earthquake.

Beezelbub's colossal body extended hundreds of tentacles as thick as locomotives, fiercely inserted into the ground of the city.

Unstoppable underground, they churned and rolled, causing all the buildings in the city to collapse and crumble.

"This… is a parting gift."

Beezelbub spoke with a beast-like, low voice filled with a smile towards Turing.

In an instant, Turing heard a deafening boom, the entire sky dimmed.

Swallowing nervously, Turing looked up.

[...Huh?]

[Strange, when did I start flying?]

[Why am I plummeting towards the sky?]

Turing watched as the ground above grew closer, feeling a sinking feeling in her heart.

It wasn't that she was getting closer to the ground, but because a portion of the ground was indeed descending towards her!!!

Beezelbub had used her tentacles to flip half of the city of waves, folding it over like a pancake!

"Merka!!!"

At the moment when the city of waves was about to be flattened like dough, Turing tightly embraced the nearby Merka. Countless tentacles spurted from Turing's back, supporting a wall of tentacles several hundred meters high.
