Infinity in the Void – Freedom in the Abyss

Epilogue: Setting out for a new adventure



Do I feel like myself? Yes, I do, but I am feeling like myself more than ever. Does that even make sense?

Synchronizing my Soul, Body, and Mind is trippy. It is hard to say how it actually feels like. At least I seal all of this power in Argent Overdrive.

I need to cool off for a while...

Oh, my hair got longer again. Yeah, long hair definitely fits me more than a shorter cut. Fuck you, Sinclair!!

Anyway.

For damage assessment... Utopia lost the Fey Core of Prydwen to the Shadow Dragon, so his output is at sub-optimal performance to prevent overheating the ship, so that needs to be replaced. And Ouroboros Omniscia malfunctioned due to him overworking the energy source so it needed some time to rest.

Walpurgis Festival is destroyed completely, even I can't revive Aradia after collecting all the pieces so I have to make something new out of this, at least my hat only got tattered.

My claw is in pieces and melted at the bottom of the ocean. I didn't get a lot of use out of it, being an imperfect creation of mine, so I plan to make something better and suit my fighting style more.

My mask is lost somewhere under the ocean and likely melted from my attempt at destroying the world, which I am very proud of.

And Elderstahl is at the bottom of the ocean... yeah, that won't cause any issue as the star-slicing sword that can just boil the ocean away in an instant is sitting in there, with no supervision.

Now... Utopia told me that the power of the Eldritch Gods is partially lifted so their signals are going off like crazy. I don't need to worry about that too much since that buys me time...

Because Terra is sleeping, I guess the truce between us three Records is upheld. Well, I will find a way to kill Avalon and Kalpas later without resorting to the world destroying God Slayers.

But...

Hehahahahaha~

It is time to enact my plan.

Sitting on my throne at the command bridge, I crossed my legends.

"Utopia, it is time to create my Nation of Solitary.", I closed my eyes, "KMS Prinz Eugen, KMS Scharnhorst, IJN Yamato, IJN Zuikaku, HMS Hood, HMS Warspite, USS Yorktown, USS Indianapolis, USS North Carolina, and... USS Enterprise."

As I opened my eyes, the symbols of Akasha spun. I grin wide and light my cigarette.

"Collect all of their corpses and build me a country of ship, for I am Charlotte Silvi, the Silver Princess of Humanity, and it is time for the world to know its ruler."

"[I have calculated all that is needed.]", Utopia spoke up, "[For the operation of eleven ships, I would need at minimum three Fey Cores to be able to run all at maximum capacity.]"

Huh, right.

There are three places I can get Fey Cores from, the U.K., Ireland, or Vietnam. I could probably go to Vietnam right now and steal some from their treasury, or... fuck the British over again.

Yeah, I'm choosing the more fun option—

Bzzt!!

Hm? Who is calling me at this time?

I took out my phone and saw... Seria.

"What's up, Mom?", I asked casually.

[Charlotte, do you happen to know where the fuck are all of the United States of America nuclear warheads had gone?]

Ah shit, I didn't think about this. It was an in-the-moment kind of thing.

"It's not my doing.", I lied, although it's technically the truth.

[You are the only one— wait, hold on...], she muted her side, likely talking to someone.

I need to think of something... ah, fuck it. I'm tired of hiding things.

She came back after a few seconds, [Charlotte, do you happen to know why more than half of the Sahara Desert got turned into glass?]

"I put the Ego of the World to sleep, used all of the world's nuclear warheads and some other stuff. Don't worry, all of the other countries also lost their weapons of mass destruction.", well, except for the Hammers of God, but I have exclusive use.

[Charlotte, do you know how much money you just wasted?!], she seemed a bit angry.

"I don't know.", I turned to the terminals, "Utopia?"

He displayed a number for me to see...

[$1,955,890,334,000+Invaluable Artifacts]

Huh, less than I thought.

"A trillion, more or less.", I shrugged, "Don't worry, if you want to I can pay it all back."

[How are you going to pay back over two hundred billion dollars in nuclear warheads?], she seem to have calmed down, and is slightly amused too.

"I am the Silver Princess of Humanity, I own everything.", I casually said, "Do you know why I never ask you for money?"

[Because you make a lot from being a Hunter?]

"No, I just drain the coffer of the entire world for my spending. I have no problem with money."

There was a brief silence between us. Then Seria burst out laughing.

[Hahahahahaha!! Fucking hell and you never told me?!], she began to grasp for air, dying from laughter. I guess this is one way to kill her. After a while, she returned to normal, [Hah... that was a good laugh, but I don't think you can pay the government with their own money though.]

"Fine, I won't pay then.", I spun my throne around, "If you don't have anything more to say, then see you... in summer? I guess?"

[W-Wait! You serious won't pay?], she stopped me from ending the call.

"You said I can't pay them with money, then I guess I don't have to pay anything.", I giggled a bit.

[Hold on, that's not what I was getting at!!]

"I can only offer you money, if you don't want it then I have no other choice but to leave."

Ah, I just got a very good idea, "Utopia, how many gold coins do we have left?"

"[A quarter of the original amount, Your Highness]", he replied.

I guess I have to make more.

"Then how about this, I'll give you all of my gold coins.", I offered her a deal.

[Aren't those coins cursed or something?], she asked.

"And? I only need the Emblem so you can have the coins, as literal Satan, you can remove the curse, can't you?", I stood up and exited the control room.

[Hah... I guess that's fine.], she relented, [So when will you deliver them?]

"Hmm, April. I still got lots of things to do.", I went to pick up the fragments of the metal bat, "Aradia got fucked."

[What happened to Aradia?], she sounded interested.

"Ate a nuke, literally. Walpurgis Festival is destroyed and I'm thinking of using the pieces for something new."

Hmm, what would fit me?

"Anyway, gotta go now.", I hung up.

What to do... what to do...

The priority right now is to get some Fey Cores, and then fix Walpurgis Festival...

Right, almost forgot.

"Let's get Enna back."

 

=0=0=literally the next day=0=0=

 

"And here I am.", I said as I stared at Enna, who was enjoying a bagel, while I sat on Utopia's shoulder.

He decided to be with me more often, as in, a 3 meters tall robot knight.

"Fine... I honestly thought you forgot me.", she sighed, "It's actually pretty liberating without you around, but I guess I'm good now."

She opened her ebony crow wings, hovering up to me. I raised my right hand up to her.

"It is a pleasure to meet you again... my Princess.", she kissed my hand, "So, what shit are we wrecking today?"

"Nothing much, just going around like normal.", I said with a smile.

Oh, the police are here. To be fair, having a giant robot knight and a Fallen Angel right in the middle of a public area would raise a lot of suspicion.

"But first, let's get out of here.", I snapped my finger, "Utopia?"

"[As you command, Your Highness.]", he obliged.

His main body crashed right into the middle of Saint Peter's Square in the form of a mecha, destroying the obelisk. Then people began to freak out, running away from the scene.

I hopped down from his shoulder, walking toward the kneeling mecha, with my Knight and Maid right behind me.

"I am Charlotte Silvi, the Silver Princess... no, The Argent Monarch of Humanity.", I smiled as I looked back at the two, "Refer to me as such from now on."

"Your wish is my command, Your Majesty.", Utopia replied first.

Enna followed, "As you will it, Your Majesty."
