Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

The twisting white sun shone brighter and brighter as its shape changed. After a few moments, instead of a sun, there was a long sword of light between Joey's hands.

"Radiant Slash!" He yelled as he swung his light sword towards his target.

The soldiers didn't understand why he had to yell the name of his attack, but no one could deny the terrifying destructive power radiating from it.

The Star Twenty angel didn't stand idly and wait for the attack to land, it quickly dodged while responding with an attack of its own.

The two attacks collided and caused the void to shudder; pain spread throughout Gaia's core. If she had a real human body, she would have spat out blood! Luckily, it was just a clone.

But nonetheless, even though she was able to keep the titans functioning properly, allowing them to slaughter their own targets, she herself fell to the ground on her knees, unable to keep herself standing. 

It was even obvious that her body had somewhat turned transparent, allowing people to see through her into what lies behind her, but it only lasted for a second or two. If she hadn't forced herself to maintain it, her body would have completely faded.

All of these effects were merely the results of the first clash between the two! Obviously, Kayla noticed and could not help but grit her teeth.

"Joey, take the b*stard away from here!" Kayla yelled, watching Joey strike the angel again and causing Gaia severe pain, evident by her convulsing body. "Fight away from the planet's atmosphere!"

Joey quickly realized what was happening and led the angel away. 

Kayla quickly went towards Gaia and checked up on her. "How is it?"

"I won't die…" she answered weakly. It was obvious that she had to squeeze the words between her moans of agony.

"I'm sorry, I should have told him earlier-" Kayla wanted to speak, but was interrupted but Gaia 

"No it's not your fault," she shook her head. "I was also surprised to find out that Joey has become so strong that I didn't even think of warning him. But that's okay, now at least, we have a way of defeating the angels. Everything should be alright now!"

"Uhm," Kayla nodded while looking around. Everyone's morale was lifted by Joey's arrival and the battle shifted to the Terran Army's favour. "We should have a somewhat balanced battle for now…"

Even those teams that were attacking the Star Fifteen angels were now attacking actively, rather than simply guarding against their attacks.

"I think that we do have a chance of winning now…" Kayla's relief could not be described in words. Especially after the despair she experienced and the choices she was set on making.

'Now that the situation isn't half bad here, we should focus on helping Calcer in blood accumulation in order to make him grow stronger,' she thought to herself. 'It is not guaranteed that Joey can truly win against the Star Twenty. 

'After all, he's two ranks lower. But even if so, it's also good to have more than one person to rely on!

'With this, the situation on Earth has been stabilized. Now, all that's left is Raven and Tu…' she thought while looking up at the sky instinctively.

Although she was aware of Raven's situation, where she was simply healing herself together with Maya, Tu's situation was still a mystery for her which didn't help her racing thoughts.

Shaking her head, Kayla disregarded the distracting thoughts. At the moment, she had many clones doing work for her in different places, including the Human Plane, the Demon Realm, and outer space. 

With that in mind, she decided to get this clone of hers to work!

Looking up at one place where the battle was at full swing, Kayla launched herself into the air and arrived there rather quickly.

"Jericho, I'm here!" Kayla called out with a smile as she approached the girl. "This may be painful, but bear with me!"

Jericho nodded while signalling for her teammates to cover her. They were all elites with a lot of training, so everyone quickly coordinated with her, allowing her to leave their attacking formation easily.

Without a moment of delay, Kayla got closer to Jericho and hugged her, surprising her greatly. But it didn't stop there.

Kayla's body that was normal a moment ago suddenly started shaking and changing colour. 

A moment later, her body became liquid-like and enveloped Jericho in a small dark purple cocoon that was covered in silver circuit-like structures.

Kayla's purpose was rather simple; she wanted to merge a part of her with Jericho's Mana Core.

Needless to say, this wasn't an easy task. However, not only did Jericho undergo her Cyber Transformation together with the Cyber Elites, but she also was the most compatible with Kayla's Cyber nature before transforming.

So right now, not only does her Mana Core contain Cyber Particles, but her own powers, skills, and mana are highly compatible with Kayla.

Enveloping her, Kayla's clone reverted back into its original Cyber Matter form and started strengthening and adding to Jericho's own abilities. 

The cocoon started twisting and raidating with an extremely peculiar power. And with that, an evolution started!

"So are you going to answer any of my questions or are we just going to keep staring at each other like we're in love?" A rather relaxed voice was heard from a crimson haired young man who was strangely standing in the void of space. 

A rather stylish pair of long black jeans were covering his lower body while a crimson t-shirt took on his thin chest.

"You know, we haven't even dated yet…" the crimson haired man continued with an amused smile and a wink that contained a hidden meaning. A second later however, he got serious, "just to be clear, I'm just joking. I'm not into men. Wait, do angels have a set gender? Hm, interesting…"

Around the young man who was talking in an arrogant manner were thousands of extremely powerful angels, ranging from Star One Hundred to Star Seven Hundred and even one Seraph, all of whom were standing in a special formation.

The formation was created not to trap, but to kill this crimson haired youth. But due to his shrewdness, it could only trap him for the time being. 

And by doing so, the angels operating the formation were also bound to stay with him. Thus, practically, both parties were trapped here.

"Humph, what a cowardly move from a person who calls himself a Monarch!" The Seraph spoke between clenched teeth. His expression was that of anger and disgust. He completely ignored the youth's words and treated them like a mere breeze.

"Oh, cowardly? Based on whose evaluation? Yours? The same person who not only ambushed me in a killing array, but also attacked with massive numbers and even called for more reinforcements…" Tu merely smiled in an amused and relaxed manner. "And are you just going to keep avoiding answering my questions?

"Could it be that I'm correct in my guess? You and that f*ckwit Michael surrendered to the invaders who killed your Supreme Deity and worshiped them instead? 

"Not only that, but from what I heard, you also killed one of your own Seraph brethren? Oh, yes I know the story by the way you don't really need to answer.

"But what I am really curious about is what did they promise you, absolute power and control? Is that why you started destroying any planet that you don't like?

"Tch, whatever, you traitors are what disgust me the most. That's why I like contracts; they're the only thing one can really trust!"

Contracts. Tu, after all, was the Monarch of Contracts. That's specifically why he's still alive right now; a forced contract.

He made a forced contract with everyone present. A contract of mutual peace; no one is allowed to attack the other party without negotiating the terms and conditions.

With that being said, although this may sound as a very effective method, it wasn't really.

The trick for this contract is that the contract is forced for everyone as a whole, quite literally. The contract is set so that anyone in the formation can't attack him.

Which means that as long as they don't realize that, he'll be alright. But once they realize this point and exploit it, they'll be able to attack him without the formation.

But at the same time, it's better for him to fight them without the formation.

"Hm, you're still not going to talk? So boring," Tu sighed. "Did you kill your Supreme Deity and old Uriel with boredom like this? Because it's effective, I have got to hand this one to you…"

"Shut up!" Hearing Tu's insults continuously, Gabriel finally lost his temper and yelled angrily.. If he could, he would have skinned Tu alive. "You have no idea what we had to go through! All our Supreme Deity cared about was stupid 'order and judgment' even at our own expense!"
