Chapter 1307 Resonating Mirror and Howling From the Sky PART 9 Part 2

Then the final flash of light came about, and the three rays of bright light slash the world all around them. However, even that is nothing more than just a burning ray, and even if they were to cut through the very fabric of the world around them with ease, they are still just rays, so they create a path to follow. A path that can be predicted and exploited. From the perspective of a person confronting the Golden Age, it was the easiest attack of the entire bunch to avoid and counter.

「Ah, yes, that’s right. Since this is basically the reproduction of the past, I should theoretically reflect that, but it’s safer to avoid it altogether because it is really destructive. To give you an example, if you would let it hit your legs, they would have been cut off in a split of a second without any kind of resistance.」

I say that while holding the Mirror Shield Dis Pater, reflecting the light of the powerful laser and cutting the Golden Age with it to pieces…… TWSIT! Just then I turned my neck towards the Iron Meteorite Mirror floating above my head, looking at my viewers just as the enemy before me was reduced to nothing more but rubble.

「Alright then…… That brings us to the end of the fourth chapter of my story, and this next final chapter is supposed to be the main subject of today’s stream. This is exactly what we have all came here for.」

I then start sorting out my equipment while gazing into the Iron Meteorite Mirror.

From this point onward, the battle would shift into a mirror match, when Sanraku would be dealing with “Sanraku”, and “Sanraku” would try to put Sanraku out of commission.

「Normally you would think that the Orchestra itself would be the opponent here, but truth to be told, the real enemy in here is going to be that “Diva” accompanying Orchestra.」

「The Orchestra disappears for now, leaving one person behind. And the remaining one becomes a copy of the Player where the “Diva” passes it the mask. Be careful here, because the equipment in your inventory is also completely copied, it is a bad idea to narrow down the equipment due to the nature of the Orchestra’s final phase.」

「I know I said that this will be a copy performance, but…… You can think of it as a battle where your copy is stronger than you are, who uses the same character as you. I feel that its status is about one point two times stronger than you are ever going to be.」

「However, the details are unknown for the moment when the Conquest Doll is in the field, its behavior pattern is going to be disturbed for some reason. So for the most part it would be like playing a Ranked Player Versus Player match with someone of equal skill to yourself. But you are always going to be at a disadvantage status-wise, so you will need to bare that in mind.」

「Well, since you Library fellows are my partners here, I think it will be okay to spoil you a little bit…… Ahh, maybe the reason is that there are members of Sternbloom among the past users of the Orchestra. That’s what I think. Maybe their authority has been transferred somehow, or maybe they have rented out that music player at some point. I don’t really know.」

「That’s why the Conquest Dolls…… I think that something in the Orchestra is overlapping with them because of some sort of similarity between them and Sternbloom…… The Conquest Dolls themselves don’t get in the way, but there is a bug regarding to initiative within the Orchestra.」

「But the actual problem starts from here. If you try to defeat it normally, the Orchestra will guard and defend just before you will be able to defeat it. That is, you need something more than just defeating it normally. That’s what I think.」

「Thinking about it carefully, maybe the time when you have made the contract with the Conquest Doll is not completely irrelevant here? It might be a major premise for the occurrence of Orchestra’s uniqueness and other characteristics.」

「…… That’s exactly why. I can’t imitate multiple challenges on the premise of failure. I will do my best to clear this Unique Scenario EX right here and right now.」

「And just like that, come to me, Sigma! My brave warrior! Battle awaits us!」

The Iron Meteorite Mirror reflects the figure that appears on the battlefield in the very next moment.

Now this is the result of her Creator’s hobby, a new costume, modeled completely from scratch…… However, a Doll wearing a new black-based costume that her Contractor has never seen before enters the stage, with a gaze of determination glowing in her eyes. Sigma has descended onto the world from the inside of the INVENTORY without saying a word.

「How are you doing today?」

「I’m doing great. Thank you for asking.」

「Yeah, good to know. Just try not to impose that mood at anyone else. That would be really bad.」

Now then, the Orchestra has disappeared. The final chapter of the story was about to begin…… This time around there is a whole lot of spectators watching, but at this point in time I no longer even care about that.

* * *

The Orchestra finally disappears. The musicians playing the melody disappear one by one like apparitions. But now I understand. The Orchestra didn’t disappear, it left the instrument and moved to the auditorium in this final stage.

Era of the Gods, Era of the Gods. An era of the rise and fall of the once-destroyed human beings who tried to leave their roots and find new home amongst the stars. Indeed, from the perspective of humankind today, it is the age of Creation and the time when the Gods were literally walking the Earth.

「Alright then…… It’s here, Sigma. The final phase.」

「Understanding: This battle is a farewell to me…… And a declaration.」

「If you think too deeply about this, your precious Intelligence might get buggy once more.」

「Huh…… What a foolish thing to be scared of. The Heavens falling to the Earth.」

「What was that just now?」

Don’t think even for a moment that after a declaration like that you get to back down on this!
