Honkai Star Rail:The Assistant director

Continuing where we left off...

*********************

With the Destruction blessing activated, I decide to use this opportunity to test the capabilities of this power.

💭Let's begin...

Normally, I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to use this new power, but it seems that when I activate the blessing, my body starts to move automatically.

It's as if in the subconscious of my mind, I had already received the instruction manual and I'm able to use this power by pure instinct.

Since the Demon God Pillars are practically large tentacles with several eyes, they are an easy target for my attacks.

Some of them start to activate spells, creating several magic circles around me to make a large explosion.

💭Let's see how resistant this armor is...

I don't dodge their magic attack and a huge explosion happens, destroying the ground I was standing on, but my armor didn't receive any damage. When the spell was used, a barrier was immediately created to protect me from the explosion.

When the smoke begins to dissipate, I see that I'm at the same point where the attack happened, but I'm standing in the air.

Ritsuka: How interesting...

I look down and see that there's a small blue light under my feet serving as a floor that doesn't let me fall into space.

💭So now I can walk in the air... That's going to be very useful.

At the moment I'm quickly analyzing my situation, BB's face appears on the visor of my helmet.

BB:Hello, Senpai! I see you noticed one of the many surprises your armor has!

Ritsuka: I'd say you're not going to tell me everything this little beauty can do, are you?

I say this with a slight smile on my face and BB makes a cute expression, leaving part of her tongue out.

BB: Nope. I don't want to spoil the surprises, so when you find out about them I'll give you the information about the capabilities.

Ritsuka:Understood.

I say this, returning to focus on my old enemies who are already preparing to make a consecutive attack in my direction.

Ritsuka: Normally the Noble Phantasm of Jeanne, Leonidas or Mash would be ideal for this type of attack, but I have something perfect for this situation.

I start walking in the air slowly as if I were climbing a ladder and the Demon God Pillars shoot several large attacks of light in my direction.

Since the attack is from more than ten Demon God Pillars, this attack would be very destructive and would cause serious damage to any servant who is caught off guard or to a large kingdom like Babylon, but at this moment I am confident in myself that this attack is nothing to me.

The Demon God Pillars fire their attacks giving the impression that it is an attack from an American army artillery and I just have a slight smile on my face when I see this attack.

Ritsuka: Hmpf.....

I raise my right arm and snap my fingers making the sound echo in space. Immediately after I do this, several portals appear in front of me consuming all the attacks from the Demon God Pillars each ray of light entered the portals not allowing any to pass through me.

I compress the attacks into a small orb in my right hand and close my hand that has the orb and then a large portal opens above the Demon God Pillars that made the attack and I redirect their attack to themselves.

A huge explosion occurs, completely consuming a good portion of the Demon God Pillars in that area.

(A/N: Who understood this reference?)

💭So I can create several portals like Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. This may be the most versatile ability I have.

Ritsuka: The possibilities that have been opened are countless... BB, the Demon God Pillars are not like in the past, where even if you destroy one pillar, many others would appear in infinite numbers.

I say this remembering that in the original Singularity, no matter how many Demon God Pillars we killed, they would continue to fight in infinite numbers. That's why Mash and I went straight to Goetia and let the Servants take care of the pillars to give us time.

BB: Don't worry, my dear Senpai! When you go to destroy one of the Demon God Pillars, they won't respawn. And even if they had that authority in the past, you have a conceptual advantage against them, so no matter how hard they try, you will always be able to overcome them.

💭Ahh... I had forgotten that I have this ability.

(A/N: This reminded me that in High School DXD there are the Ars Goetia which are the noble families of Rias and Sona and several other important families in the story. The fact that Ritsuka has a conceptual level ability against all of the 72 pillars families is scary! Put that in the world of DXD and Ritsuka becomes the best weapon against most of the entire system of devils of the Underworld! He is basically their natural enemy!)

Reines said that if I were to become a Heroic Spirit, I would definitely have a conceptual ability against the Demon God Pillars, it seems that her theory came true.

Ritsuka: It's still not enough. I need to test what I can do with this armor more before I go face Goetia.

Ritsuka: BB, can I fly with this armor?

BB: Yes! You can also combine your black flames with the armor.

BB said this, immediately catching my attention and I asked one more question.

Ritsuka: Wait a minute! Can I use my Avenger powers even while wearing this armor?

BB: Of course, Senpai! This armor was created to enhance your Avenger attacks and for when you use the Black Barrel.

💭 Even the Black Barrel? I'd better ask more questions about that piece of information later.

Ritsuka: Great! Then I can totally let loose without any problems!

I immediately crouch down and jump high up and start flying. Then I use my black flames and I start hearing a robotic voice in my helmet.

Grand Master: Unlocking the fusion of the Spirit Core with the armor. Fusion completed.

My armor is covered by my black flames, making it look like a fiery ghost with armor.

(A/N: It's similar to Firefly when she uses her Ultimate. Only instead of sparkles coming out of the armor, it's black flames like when Ghost Rider has fire coming out of his gloves and neck.)

I start to descend at high speed, looking like a meteor covered in black flames.

Ritsuka:Execution underway!!!

I fall flying towards a specific Demon God Pillar, which is Barbatos, and I use my fists to punch him with an big explosion.

The moment I do this, a huge pillar of fire is made and I manage to destroy Barbatos in a single flaming attack.

Ritsuka: Hahahaha!!! That was so much fun and refreshing! I've always wanted to do an epic attack like that!

I say this with a big happy smile while standing inside a huge crater that I made myself. A normal person would think that I've lost my mind for laughing like a madman, but I'm feeling a huge relaxing sensation as I kill the pillar without any mercy.

BB: Why do you always focus on Barbatos first?

BB asks this question looking at me, confused as to why my first victim that I killed was Barbatos.

Ritsuka: Let's just say that Barbatos and I are great friends... Hehehe..... hehehe..... He's very useful in getting materials... those precise materials. A useful individual like that, it's impossible for me not to kill him first! It's a shame he can't respawn, a real shame.

(A/N: This is a reference to when Solomon's Singularity was released in NA, Barbatos was the first Raid Boss to be eliminated in less than twenty four hours! The entire community jumped on him just because of the rare materials he dropped.)

I say this with a sadistic smile on my face that BB can see and she looks at me even more confused.

BB: Okay..... I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said.

Ritsuka: There's still more to eliminate before I go to the main target.

I say this while leaving my right hand open and a portal is open next to my hand and a sword that looks the same as the blades that the Legion soldiers use.

Ritsuka: Hmm...

With the antimatter sword in my hands I decide to see if I can bring more weapons from the portals.

In my left hand a portal opens making a bow that the voidranger:Templer use come out.

💭So I can summon the weapons that the Antimatter Legion uses... That's pretty powerful.

With the information that I have new weapons in my arsenal I start to remember how Archer Gilgamesh fights.

Ritsuka: Hmm..... Will Gilgamesh be bothered if I use him as inspiration? Probably not.

💭He will be happy and use this as a way to increase his immense ego. Besides, I still have the key to his treasure.

Gilgamesh had given me the key that gives me access to his precious treasure and he said that this is a worthy reward for someone like me, I didn't understand why he did this, but Enkidu told me that Gil gave me the position of vassal in charge of taking care of his entire treasure, this of course includes "Enuma Elish"as well, Enkidu also told me that this is the position of high trust for the King of Babylon.

Considering how important the treasures are to Gilgamesh, this revelation left me in shock at the time.

Ritsuka: Time to test what these swords can do.

I quickly get out of the crater that I made and fly at high speed towards the Demon God Pillars near me.

I immediately open another portal and pull out another antimatter sword, but this time it's in my left hand. Then I use my "King of Heroes" skill to use one of my servants' skills.

I decided to temporarily take Lancelot's skill, "Eternal Arms Mastery." With this skill, I can fight using two swords with extreme mastery and precision.

With this, I can cut several Demon God Pillars that were in front of me into several pieces.

Some other pillars tried to shoot rays of light in my direction, taking advantage of the moment that I was distracted, but I managed to summon portals mentally that consumed the attacks, protecting me.

Ritsuka:Thank you for the free ammunition. How about I return the favor.

Several portals appeared above me, shooting rays of golden light in the direction of the pillars that attacked me from afar. My attack easily pierced their bodies without much resistance.

💭Now I understand why Gil likes to laugh out loud when he throws his noble phantasms and an incredible feeling of superiority.

Ritsuka: Time to put you in the place where you deserve, you mongrels!

I say this by saying the word that Gilgamesh loves to say to his enemies.

💭I always wanted to call someone a mongrel at least once in my life.

With that, I continue to fly at high speed, cutting down and destroying every Demon God Pillar that stands in my way.

********************

BB's View

*******************

BB: It looks like the "Grand Master" armor is synchronizing well with Senpai's Spirit Core. It seems that my idea of ​​using the Iron Cavalry models of the fallen Glamoth Empire as inspiration is yielding good results.

I say this by monitoring Senpai's physical and internal status as he exterminates the Demon God Pillars at an impressive speed.

BB: He's killing the pillars at a speed that's a bit faster than my calculations. It seems that I underestimated how fast Senpai would become if he combines the armor's speed with Edmond Dantes' Noble Phantasm. In any case, everything is going as planned.

Several screens are floating around me showing images of what is happening on the space station. I have managed to gain full control of the station and with that I can now monitor all the residents using the cameras.

BB: Hmm... So Ruan Mei decided to leave... She got lucky. I had the perfect surprise to ruin her day and have the pleasure of breaking her perfect mask. What a shame, well I can save my surprise for another opportunity. I don't need to rush.

And at that moment I detect enemy activity on the station and it is the work of the Annihilation Gang just as Herta is leaving the station with the people from the IPC.

BB: It seems that the Nanoock fanboy gang wants to be relevant again, how cute. Too bad I have a little something to give everyone more "fun" hehehe. Oh! It seems that the effect of the Drug is wearing off on Stellaron-san.

I say this noticing the slight changes in Stella's attitude while she is in the control zone, she will probably lose consciousness at any moment.

BB: Well, things are moving along at the station and Senpai... Oh! He decided to use Excalibur? Already?! I thought he would hold back a little longer!

I say this seeing Senpai using the copy of Excalibur that he has and with each movement of his sword he burned all the Demon God Pillars that remained leaving only Goetia as the last opponent for him to face.

BB: That sword...

Normally the only person who is able to use the sword promised victory is Artoria Pendragon, but due to certain circumstances that occurred in the sixth Lostbelt Senpai managed to have the Excalibur blueprint that Artoria Avalon gave him.

Due to this detail it makes sense that Senpai managed to have a copy of the real Excalibur. However this sword that Senpai is using is very dangerous.

BB: I don't like this.... Why did he have to have this sword, especially after what he went through in that last Ordeal Call. It seems like fate itself is doing everything it can to make him lose his sanity. That's not fair.

What Senpai went through in the last Ordeal Call has caused severe damage to his mind and left him very exhausted both physically and mentally.

💭What makes me furious is that I was about to start my summer vacation plan in Dubai so that Senpai could have a real break. Damn the Aeon of Finality It's because you decide to drag my Senpai into your problems!

My plan was to improve Senpai's situation by having a light adventure in Dubai combined with the expected mess of a summer event, this would be the perfect opportunity for Senpai to relax and be mentally prepared for the upcoming missions.

Unfortunately, due to the interference of Finality which was the cause of my Senpai becoming an Avenger and being dragged into a similar universe, I had to change my planning route.

BB: For now, the "remembrance project" is going naturally, my concern is that Excalibur.

💭 A sword that represents all the fury and desire for revenge of the Lostbelts and the victims of the Earth's bleaching, that's very dangerous.

BB: If I could, I would change his class to Rider so he wouldn't use that damn sword! But unfortunately, I don't have that authority. Yet.

For now I'm keeping an eye on Senpai's condition, after all my job is to make sure he's ready for anything that comes his way and this simulation is perfect to bring the old Master of Chaldea back.

💭 I hope this works...

************

Ritsuka's Vision

************

After I decimate the Demon God Pillars that were around the temple throne I walk towards the throne where I see my old enemy sitting on Solomon's throne.

(Photo)

Looking at Goetia brings back memories of my last fight with this Beast with Mash, her sacrifice and Dr. Roman's farewell.

Ritsuka: Hello, Goetia. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. I thought you were going to use Doctor Roman's body first to show your "superiority" to us humans.

Goetia:...

Goetia doesn't respond to my greeting and my empty provocation; he just gets up from the white throne and starts walking towards me.

Ritsuka: No answers. I never thought I would say this, but you staying silent is boring. At least you had more attitude and pride for the plan you were making, now it's nothing but a copy of the real one.

💭Why am I wasting my time talking to him?

It's hard to have a person I truly hate, after all I'm a very patient person, but Goetia is an individual that I hate and respect at the same time. Just being back in this singularity and face to face with this Beast makes me furious inside since this place left deep scars in my heart that are still not one hundred percent resolved.

Ritsuka: I have so much to say about you, but I know it's a waste of time.

I say this holding Excalibur tighter and when Goetia descended from the throne's stairs he immediately stretched his arms to the sky and immediately began the enchantment of his third Noble Phantasm.

Ritsuka: Are you going to start using your Noble Phantasm already?! Hmpf! Some things never change, right Goetia!

I say this sarcastically, not being the least bit intimidated when I saw him carrying the Ars Almadel Salomonis.

This is a Noble Phantasm that has the ability to completely erase someone from being remembered from human history permanently, in addition to the fact that this Noble Phantasm is capable of destroying the entire planet Earth even though it is protected by its layers.

💭 In addition to the discovery that this Noble Phantasm is only a fraction of what Aoko has the possibility of achieving with her mastering the fifth magic.

(A/N: You didn't read wrong. The Noble Phantasm of Goetia does have a fraction of the power of Aoko's Magic blue, that is, with the possibility of Aoko mastering the fifth magic she can very well replicate Ars Almadel Salomonis. True Magic is really very op.)

BB: Senpai! A warning. Unfortunately, I was unable to fully replicate the full potential of this Noble Phantasm. After all, there are years and years of accumulated magical energy and I didn't have enough time to simulate all of it.

BB said this to communicate that Goetia's Noble Phantasm is not at its maximum capacity, which is to be expected. After all, this singularity is a simulation. You can't compare a copy to the original.

Ritsuka: It's okay. I don't care about that. As long as I can kill Goetia again. That's all that matters.

I say this while holding my Excalibur in my hands and extending the sword to the sky, the flames on the blade becoming increasingly powerful.

**************

Narrator's view

*************

The two opponents' Noble Phantasms are charging at the same time, causing an immense tremor that is affecting the entire singularity.

BB, who is watching all this, sees that the levels of mana that Ritsuka and Goetia are accumulating are impressive.

BB: Hmm.. I think I should step back for a bit. I don't want to damage my astronaut suit, I still have to use it in Senpai's room later.

BB said this while floating to a certain distance where she won't be affected by the mass destruction that is about to happen.

Meanwhile, a huge orb of light is growing above Goetia who is seeing a huge pillar of flames of vengeance that Ritsuka's Excalibur is making.

Both anti-world Noble Phantasms are about to clash and only one will emerge victorious.

Goetia:Deploying Third Noble Phantasm.

"The Time of Birth Hath Come, I Am the Remedy of Eternity."

Now, burn like the garbage you are!

Ritsuka:From beyond the skies,the far side of the earth.

At the end of the world my rage and vengeance will not rest!

Burn this world to ashes!!!

Ritsuka/Goetia:Excalibur!!! Ars Almadel Salomonis!!!
