Perfect Avatar

Chapter 107: From Problem To Disaster

Mercy, Freya, Zuri, Iris, and Cid were lying in a train cabin, unconscious. Outside, Peters, Elizabeth, and Candace were talking.

"So this is how you want to do it?" asked Elizabeth.

"I will do anything to protect my family, I am a simple man."

"But in the end, it's just a cowardly way of solving your problem with your sister."

"Maybe, and it's a technique we have in common. Your brother is also on this train, for some reason he didn't follow the other students, but that should give you the motivation to stay."

He walked away, ready to leave.

"I'm entrusting Mercy to you, and sorry in advance because I know she's going to throw a tantrum."

Elizabeth smiled and placed her hands on her hips.

Peters turned his back and walked away, leaving Elizabeth and Candace.

"Yup... A perfect pair of cowards. It's a bit sad... We could have gotten along, we can rely on the same things."

"It looks more like he's going to die." This kid has always looked like a zombie.

They watched the Holy Knight for a few seconds until he disappeared, and then Elizabeth turned towards the train.

"Let's hurry, I'll go see Hope first, can you stay to make sure the doors don't close automatically?"

This last measure was due to the concept of certain automatic trains

In recent times, there has been a development of a new type of train in the Kingdom that operates automatically without a human driver.

The train was designed to follow a predetermined trajectory, which ensured that the train operated smoothly and without the risk of human error.

The train had a fixed departure time, which is pre-programmed, and it operates on a strict schedule. However, passengers could still delay the train by standing in the doorway.

Candace sighed and gave her an annoyed look.

"Why? So that you would leave them and go back?"

Elizabeth laughed and looked at the horizon with a saddened expression.

"He was just a country boy, miss, I'm the reason he's in this mess."

"He's an Avatar, it was only a matter of time."

Elizabeth shook her head.

"That wouldn't be fair. What would have happened if he had never encountered Midgard? He would never have awakened the Sin... Maybe he wouldn't even be immortal... Hm? That seems unfair to Midgard too."

She boarded the train and headed to Hope's location.

"I don't care about things like fate, I played a role in this so I will take responsibility for it. I won't run away again! The train will leave in 7 minutes, so please block the door if I'm still inside."

She disappeared into another cabin. Candace shook her head and rubbed her nose with a slight smile.

"Yeah, yeah, you know the train won't move if you damage it somehow, so you have no choice but to not use your power... and that's why..."

She walked away, checking her phone.

"I lied. The train will leave in 2 minutes, but now I'm sure you won't be stupid enough to escape and force them to stay in the capital. Leave the Twilight of the Gods to the fools acting like Gods, I leave the future in your hands."

***

In the building, a few seconds had passed after the end of communication with Rhea.

Gloria stood still, staring at the transmitters as if hypnotized.

The Holy Knights and the scientists looked at her in distress, unable to accept what she had just done.

Suddenly, She clutched her shoulders and lowered her head, trembling slightly.

"She knows... how does she know?... she... it was not a coincidence... she knew I was here now... of all day, she called the only day I wasn't home. .. that must be it!"

She stood up and looked around her.

"She must be spying on me! She never followed the Code, she... But then..."

She glanced at Dora in the tank and flinched.

"She knows I'm... They... Darn it! Did she see that? I... I didn't break the Code! I was... I just made sure to... to help... but he tried to attack me... he... it was he who broke the Code first, wasn't he, Eryl?!"

She turned to her maid who seemed disoriented

In memory, it was the first time that Eryl saw her mistress in such a state.

Gloria trembled and widened her eyes, the image of Candace under her foot resurfacing.

"Eryl, my children! Where are they?!"

"... In front of the building, in the car, my Queen."

"Good, let's go back home! I don't want to stay where she can reach me!"

"... But... my Queen, the Twilight..."

"I said WE'RE LEAVING!"

Her words echoed in the room.

She rubbed her shoulders and looked away, confused at having lost her composure.

"I can't fight... She knows I'm here, she must know what's happening everywhere!... I can't fight her if I'm not at 100%... if I stop the Twilight of Gods by myself, I'll be weakened... she... No, the castle is too close... Eryl, we're leaving the town."

She left the room abruptly, leaving her maid completely stunned behind.

Everyone looked at the door as if waiting for her to come back and confirm that it was a joke.

"I think you should follow her," Agiel called out to Eryl. "Right now the Queen isn't able to think straight, she might commit a catastrophe if we anger her more."

Eryl looked at him, her eyes shaking. She turned to Dora's tank, despair filling her heart.

"We still have a chance." Agiel who could understand her concern added. "Leave the matter of the Twilight of Gods to us, we will do the necessary to achieve victory. Please, don't make the Queen wait."

Finally, Eryl looked at the ground and left in hesitant steps.

The scientists and the knights looked at her in confusion too, then after she disappeared behind the huge door, Agiel regained the monopoly of speech.

"Alright, from this point onwards, the order of execution will change. The Queen won't lead the operation, Fenrir won't intervene, and we have lost the kingdom's strongest knight. Basically, the only hope of the world is gathered in this place, so congratulations, in an idealistic future you will all become heroes."

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

"I think it's time to use this, Holy knights, go in position with the guild emissaries around the town, make sure that the town is deserted, Dr.Loyd, connect XC, XD, and XF to Alpha."

The scientist, an old man wearing a monocle and a mustache flinched.

"... all of them? All the contents of the reserves?"

"And increase the Genesis' consumption in energy, we will need more time than what we anticipated."

"... Sir... You want to infuse Greed with all the S-rank stones we stored for thousands of years? With all due respect, sir this is crazy! Even for the Twil-"

A loud noise shook the entire city, causing everyone in the building and on the streets to look up. Candace stopped running, frozen in place, while Peters arrived in front of the building and widened his eyes. All eyes were fixed on the Rift, which had just emitted an incredible noise. It was as if an explosion had occurred above the Genesis barrier, or perhaps a giant was knocking gently on the door of the sky, seeking permission to enter.

Agiel sighed and took a gun off his vest.

"It appears that I don't have that much time, so I'm asking you for the last time: connect XC, XD, and XF to Alpha."

He pointed his gun at the scientist who lowered his head and nodded to his subordinates.

The group complied and performed a large number of maneuvers on computer screens.

A noise of machinery rose near Dora's tank and the orange liquid lit up.

Pipes connected to the ground conveyed a viscous, sparkling white liquid, all of which mixed with the tank and completely engulfed Dora.

The scientists and the Holy Knights watched this scene with horror, but from the moment the Queen walked into the room, they had accumulated failures and disappointment.

Only a miracle could save them now.

One by one, the Holy Knights left the room.

At the foot of the building, Peters revealed a large red spear, with black patterns.

"What the heck are you doing here?!"

Elizabeth drew her sword and took an offensive stance.

"I am here... For my brother!"
