Chapter 79
The feared event finally happened.
Carol turned her head away, not wanting to see Alice, whose heart was broken, even through the screen.
She always wished for Alice to smile.
Seeing the Holy Spear pouring down, Carol took out an anomalous object shaped like a red button.
P-702
Nickname: War Reenactment.
The moment you use this.
Humanity's foolish mistakes are repeated.
But funnily enough, this will be used to give Alice a chance to make up for her mistakes."But I didn't expect you to bring this."
Behind Carol stood a woman in a nun's habit and a devil wearing a red hood.
"We're just repaying a favor. Thanks to Alice, I could reconcile with this child."
Maria. A nun belonging to the Cathedral.
It was really surprising that she noticed the Cathedral's plan and contacted us.
And even more surprising was the person on her right.
"Red Riding Hood. What wind brought you here?"
"..."
To think she would escape the isolation room and take P-702 from the Cathedral.
Although startled by the bizarre combination, there was no time to interrogate them one by one in this urgent situation.
"Are you not going to say anything? Well, that's fine. Then..."
"...I have a question."
"?"
When Carol tilted her head, Red Riding Hood asked in a crawling voice.
"First, as a test... Carol, are you really using this for Alice? Do you have no ill intentions?"
"...A test? Fine. I truly cherish Alice. I will use this for her... My care and love for her are sincere. Please believe me."
When Carol spoke earnestly, Red Riding Hood judged the truthfulness of her claim.
Her brown eyes turned yellow and, after a moment, Red Riding Hood nodded.
"It's the truth."
"At times like this, it's good that there's no injustice. Now then."
Carol removed the protective glass that was covering the button and clenched her fist tightly.
"Summoning this devil is quite unsettling! But this is the only way to stop the Holy Spear that will chase to the end as long as it exists in this world!"
Each devil has something they are drawn to.
There is a situation that summons a specific devil, just like how Alice was drawn to Mason when she was exiled.
Carol pressed the button with her fist.
Then, around Alice, people in digital-patterned military uniforms and various weapons appeared.
Blood was splattered and only terrible screams echoed.
Although it's just a hologram, a mere illusion, it perfectly reenacts a horrible war, specialized for summoning him.
A devil like a natural disaster, who doesn't even speak, just appears.
"The lesser of two evils."
Carol shouted as if declaring.
"Now! I will summon Peter Pan!"
...
Acrid dust surrounds your vision, and an explosion so loud that it feels like your ears will burst covers the world.
Nevertheless, what can be clearly heard are human screams.
In the middle of this battlefield.
He appeared.
