Perfect Avatar-Chapter 313: The Twilight Of The World: Final Battle

Sitting on the floor with the two orbs floating above him.

"Here we are."

The two orbs released energy spiraling around Dora, converging into a sphere of light engulfing him.

In the other room, the warriors stopped crying. Sitting or standing, they had exhausted the tears they could provide.

They waited for the announcement of the final steps, each in their spot.

Iris had completely assimilated Candace’s soul stone, with no visual change in power. Marie was still unable to awaken her power of Greed.

None of them could understand or even feel what was happening in the other room, due to the distortion of the space with the previous Dora’s power still ambient, but as time passed, a visual change happened.

A formation of magic sparked on a side of the room, blooming into a large purple gate similar to a Rift.

Everyone stood on their feet, in front of the long-awaited call.

On another side of the room, the same phenomenon reproduced, this time the gate being white.

To the eyes, the gates were only different by color, but for the emissaries, the true difference was in the level of power emitted by the purple rift.

"... What’s that? What kind of sorcery is that?" A knight murmured.

Freya stood in front of everyone, clinging firmly to her axe.

"It’s Dora’s way of giving us a choice. It’s like Rhea said, some of us can’t fight a Sin Avatar, so I guess he made the second one for them to leave."

Next to her, Marie stood, patting her pocket where she kept her phone received 2 years ago.

"So Dora is in that way... fine, there’s no reason to hesitate then."

Mercy in turn stood by their side, wiping her last tear.

"What are we waitin’ for then? Let’s go."

Solaria in turn began her walk when Nosfera held her by the hand.

"Please, don’t stop me."

"Princess... Your mother’s wish..."

"I know, but I reject it." She smiled at the maid. "I’m doing this for us too. I want a new chance with everyone."

The maid bit her lips, then gave a nod to her comrade.

"In this case... we’re joining you too."

Solaria frowned, she turned to them with apprehension, but when she met the burning of their gazes, she flinched.

"No question, Princess. Your life is the last thing giving us a reason to live. We will preserve you in the name of our Queen we failed to protect." Vixen said.

The girl swallowed, then gave them a nod. She stood beside Liliana and Lilith, the maids behind, and Lucca and Giudecca on the left.

Hope watched the gate burning with the intensity of a great finale.

It was the moment he waited for his whole life, the moment to enter the legend after so many failures, alas, on his best moment, he was very far from the spotlight and the one concerned about him wasn’t the beautiful lady he dreamed about.

"Of course it had to be a pseudo-avatar stuff... how come I didn’t get to be one?" Cid groaned.

"Hm... maybe you were just too good to be a sinner?"

"Uh? You’re joking? I was at least more evil than most of you! What kind of bullshit is that?"

Hope laughed a little, giving him a pat on the back.

He then turned to the gate with a smile.

"If it can reassure you, I’m the proof that power isn’t a guarantee to success. I got better powers but I’m weaker than before, and Elizabeth had a better time being dead than with me. I’m a failure."

"... Yeah... you are. So, try to do better this time. You have another chance, at least. Don’t make me add your name next to Thomas."

Hope was a little surprise by the sincerity in his voice, he looked at him for double check, with Cid avoiding his gaze.

"... Damn... Why are you a boy?!"

"What... I’ll kill you!"

Side by side, all the pseudo-avatars stood near the final gate, their faces determined to what was about to be the battle for the world.

In the back, the Holy Knights, black knights, and Cid stood near the white gate, with a last gaze for their comrades.

"... We can only pray for you. Please... Come back alive." Agharita spoke as loudly as her throat allowed her to.

The Holly knights cheered for them too, disappearing one by one in the gate.

Lastly, Cid stood in front, observing their back.

His chest felt heavier than before, his leg colder.

He wished to say something too, but at the last moment, he regretted.

He turned his gaze to the white of the gate and began his walk, each step more painful than the previous.

There was no future moment greater than this one, and he was unlucky enough to not having perform in the previous ones.

For him, the story of his face for power ended here.

The gate closed, leaving only the purple one. Rhea nodded at her comrades, as a last check, then all together entered the gate, minus one person.

Behind, Zury alone observed the gate. She was aware of everything that had happened till now and had heard most important things, and as reaction, she completely shut down.

Her eyes void, the last anomaly entered the gate.

Waves of energy crossed their faces incessantly, it was as if the world was moving to force them to advance.

Their eyes could only see the colored lights, but eventually, the light storm stopped.

The waves disappeared, the world stopped moving.

Their eyes grew wider, gazing into the surroundings.

It was a large room, with stairs leading to a golden throne, and on this throne, he was sitting.

"That was quicker than expected, I’m glad you’re understanding the situation."

The air was filled with a strange mix of emotion, maybe from the magic ambient, but as soon as they saw him, they felt their bodies lighter than ever, both physical and mental.

It was something similar to a Sin’s pressure, but completely opposite, a warmth full of sorrow and kindness.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s not wait any time, come, it’s time to fulfill your mission as heroes."

"Wait!... Dora..."

Marie run to him first, the others followed soon after, Zury alone stood behind.

Dora stood up, they all stopped right at the beginning of the stairs, their eyes meeting his.

They were adorned with a new color, a color similar to the air around them.

Not shining, not impressive, not terrifying, just a pure and simple emerald.

His gaze was simple, no joy, no anger, no real emotion, Marie was taken aback by how simple he looked while at his peak, all of them understood that if they were here, it was first because he had completed his true form.

The one looking at them wasn’t the same amnesic boy, but a being beyond, the culmination of their world.

"We cannot waste time, Marie. I’ve assimilated the last 3 Sins, my powers will be reduced until I adapt to them... But i can control time on myself and make it happen instantly. We must proceed now."

"But... Dora... If you are at your maximum... Is there no..."

"Marie."

The girl flinched, his eyes weren’t deceiving, and his calm tone had always a big impact on her.

He gave her a sad smile, a smile working like a speech for everyone.

"We have already been there. Let me correct my mistakes, ok?"

Her eyes regained the power to produce tears, she lowered her head, next to her the others clenched firmly their weapons, their heart heavier than ever.

"It’s time to do it, you have reached a level of power high enough to touch me. Even though, you can’t currently defeat me, you won’t fight me alone. I’ll use everything to destroy me and guide you during this."

His hand opened, gathering energy and forming an orb.

"Listen carefully, this won’t be a simple execution. From the moment I’ve assimilated the last Sins, he has awakened again and is trying to take the control again. With his power he could erase you in an instant, so don’t hesitate to take risk. Put everything on the line, I will fight on my side to limit and repair his actions. Our abilities are infinite, but there are some tricks. First, as long as there is a Persona outside, we won’t die, even if you destroy out body we will just take over the Persona."

The memory of Dora’s battle against Gloria resurfaced, the maids flinched.

"I’ll force him as much as possible to never use Asylum, but the problem is that we’re stronger as an individual when we are one. It’s a problem, but better than dealing with 6 of us with that power. Second, Liliana, use your power to replicate me, that way you would find a way to counter my power, all the others, you’ll need to understand how the pressure works to counter mine. I’ll do my best to stop it, but the moment it touches you, you’re done."

The orb became a crystal ball, mirroring the little planet outside and the clouds.

"There’s no place for error, I’ll assimilate the invader, this should also disturb our control of our body, you guys, use everything to destroy us. If the invader take life in my body and my body dies, he will be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, and I trust the Will of the World to not screw me. And now..."

He raised the orb high, the energy began to converge into the object, outside, the planet raised higher in the sky.

A flash traversed the whole world through the clouds, and then, a new cataclysm began.

The clouds moved at high speed in the sky, leaving a clear sky behind them.

Crossed with lightning, they traversed the world in reverse, converging into the planet ascending above.

Higher and higher, getting out of the atmosphere, for the first time since the return of the Twilight of Gods, the clear sky greeted Ambrosia, but the vortex nearby kept the citizens from celebrating.

A cyclone, growing smaller was swirling around the black planet, the titanic sphere heading to the eye of the Rift, and finally those who watched from the earth witnessed the terror of a mass of purple, pink and black energy engulfing the planet, creating glitches in the atmosphere on its path.

A noise of wind and cracks filled the air, for several seconds the sky flashed, the planet became completely black, with purple cracks everywhere and emanating a pink aura.

Floating like a second moon, getting farther away from the earth.

The group of Pseudo-avatars opened their eyes again, and stepped back face to the new change.

It was like ruins from another world, a rich civilization erased without damaging its architecture.

Buildings immortalized in purple ice, like a town in the moon, with them standing in a wider area and further away, an impossible object.

They watched, frozen on spot, an horror of nature, half of a broken purple face, covering the horizon from the limits of the ground to the sky.

The right side was on the ground, with a tern expression and a little bit of pink in the eye, while the right side was broken, the interior wit a pink and purple color, and bit of the broken face floating above.

What was so catastrophic was that the face wasn’t on land, but deep in space and yet large enough to cover everything.

"Don’t be afraid, this thing is your goal."

They jumped and turned behind, on a large building, Dora was standing, a pink spark in the eyes.

"This is my corpse."
