You’re...! I am...?! What is this strange feeling?\" Annette asked. \"So I... I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annette looked down at the trembling city and the portal above. She had died only seconds ago and then instantly \"revived\" in a mysterious, profound way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re now a living dream of your former self,\" Maria said. \"I merged your remaining soul fragments, but even then they were only about 20% of your original soul. I’m sorry, but I had to destroy your soul, or this madness would never have ended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s fine,\" Annette said with a small smile. \"I lost... I accept defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast?\" Maria asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else can I do?\" Annette replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her earlier insanity, Annette remained surprisingly rational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She accepted her death and defeat, embracing whatever came next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need your powers, your knowledge...

I can imbue myself into your heart. That crystal inside of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a Dream Heart. As a Dream Spirit, you naturally seek a vessel,\" Maria said. \"Come. I’ll welcome you. Despite how wicked you were before, you’ve clearly changed. You will make up for your past mistakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... will...\" Annette nodded and infused herself into Maria’s Dream Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BA DUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BA DUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BA DUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone celebrated their victory over such an insane foe, Maria’s mind flooded with immense quantities of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the knowledge, magic, and techniques Annette had accumulated over her long life now belonged to her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria learned how to evolve her Necromancy even further using Annette’s extraordinary knowledge and talent, gaining deep insight into manipulating souls and their origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Maria’s Aura of Death and Ghosts surged stronger than ever, spreading everywhere in beautiful waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Were you able to see it all?\" Annette asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, thank you, Annette...\" Maria said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you can give my family a second chance like you gave me... that’s enough,\" Annette sighed. \"Ah, right—don’t forget to kill the gods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not,\" Maria smiled. \"Ah, speaking of that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria and her family suddenly found themselves surrounded by dozens of gods possessing the bodies of soldiers and citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The monstrous Saint of Death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maria!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be behind all of this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged her as Maria sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sword glowed with dream flames.

Their vessels stayed alive and were quickly drawn into Maria’s Soul Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow! Mama, you became so strong!\" Nyx said. \"But what was that pink flame?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this? By wielding dreams as a sword to cut through planes, it’s possible to destroy and sever connections between dimensions,\" Maria explained. \"This way the vessels aren’t harmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing...\" Laura said. \"Big sis, are you feeling alright now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should be asking you that! I’m so sorry—you all had to die like a dozen times...\" Maria sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. I’m used to it by now,\" Catarina shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was disfigured and lived as a chimera for years... dying is nothing,\" Arthur said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was the only one who didn’t die...\" Nyx sighed. \"Everyone always protected me and took the damage for me... Why?! I can fight too and bear the burden!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re our dear child, and we can’t let that happen,\" Emeraldine smiled, kissing her forehead. \"But your power has helped us greatly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done,\" Maria said, patting her daughter. \"Anyway, this is Scarlet... She was Partner before, but I reabsorbed my original skeleton—her vessel—and helped her create a body of her liking. She also wanted a new name...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahah, I got a little too dramatic there. You can still call me Partner if you want,\" Scarlet smiled. She felt much more sociable and less awkward now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Scarlet is a pretty name,\" Emeraldine nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, Auntie Scarlet! It’s like I got a new aunt now!\" Nyx smiled cutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sure your daughter will be happy to see her mother got even stronger,\" Arthur said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t like your previous name,\" Arachne said. \"Scarlet is cooler, to be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never particularly cared about you before, but now... I guess you’ve truly changed,\" Catarina smiled. \"Welcome to the team, Scarlet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! Let’s work hard together!\" Laura nodded. \"Alright, where to?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucifer’s fighting Sirius, and Hercules is being dealt with by everyone else...!\" Maria said. \"Let’s go help Lucifer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Papa! Wait for us!\" Nyx called, flying down with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, amid explosions caused by a giant muscular vampire laughing as he battered everyone with his immense toughness and insane techniques, the dark skies above continued to fracture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rift kept expanding, no longer fueled by Annette but by Sirius’ own lifeforce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the King lived, the formation would never fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TRUUUM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within the fracture, a gigantic crimson castle slowly descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside it, a mighty Emperor clad in crimson armor sat upon a throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes glowed beneath his helmet as his giant sword overflowed with blood flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At long last...!
