Autumn is the season for decisive battles.
Thanks to Tina's efforts, the five stars align without falling, and they head toward the decisive battle between the Holy and the Demon. The encounter wasn't all that smooth, but rather had one or two ups and downs. In particular, Ki Lua appeared on the World Tree in a very belligerent manner, almost leading to a touch-and-go situation. But Elektra was able to control it (although her control over it led to some fierce fighting), and nothing serious happened.
The seemingly humorous fight may have created a scene that was easy to talk about. Ki Lua is nothing more than a beast, and there is no way she can defeat Elektra, a beast trainer. The way they were treated was like a circus, and it looked like a comedy.
Listening to Tina's words, other stars also lent their power to defeating this world. Hyde also joins Elektra and the others, and the five people who have jumped into this world are now all together.
Then, as autumn approaches its end, darkness deepens and the Malefic Verdant Tree, Yggdrasil reveals itself. A decisive battle will take place between the two Yggdrasils, the Holy and the Demon, with their survival and power at stake. If the World Tree is destroyed, the game will be over and this world will be reset. If the Malefic Verdant Tree is destroyed, this world will collapse and the power of the sealed legacy will be released. However, it was not designed to be able to defeat Sieben, one of the Seven Stars who was the administrator. This is because the rules are set too favorably for the opponent.
However, it was supposed to be a great opportunity for the five stars to join forces and side with Lenneth, who continues to fight a lonely battle.
“Let’s go.”
Lenneth appeared in front of the World Tree and said that as usual. However, it was hard to say that her expression was full of hope. For thousands of years, she has assumed the role of a hero who challenges the Demon King and liberates legacy of this world. However, in reality, she has no power to influence the situation given to her, and when the decisive battle comes in the fall, she will have no choice but to fight with the cards she is given.
“In the past, there were several times when five stars aligned in front of me and lent me their strength. However, our power has never reached the Malefic Verdant Tree.''
一行は魔界樹へと辿り着く、それと共に世界は闇に包まれていった。そして、いつしか、雪が降り始めていた。
The group reached the Malefic Verdant Tree, and the world was enveloped in darkness. And then, before they knew it, it started snowing.
◾︎Winter of the Seven Stars
Winter in the Seven Stars is the final season.
It's the season of reset. Closing everything down and preparing a new battleground for next spring. However, sometimes when a battle drags on, administrator privileges may be activated to quickly end the battle.
One example of this is when the five stars joined forces and lent their power to Lenneth. That was set as one of the conditions for clearing this world. Solaris understood that hope is a superior energy. No one will seriously challenge a game that cannot be completed. A large amount of energy is generated when they have hope, take on a serious challenge, and lose.
Therefore, a pattern was set in this battle in which the Demon King would be defeated. However, the winter season exists to avoid this. If it is determined that there is a possibility of defeat in the autumn battle, Demon King Sieben can activate administrator privileges.
The contents are complete control of the Seven Stars, excluding Lenneth. Through this, it was possible to gain control of the Seven Stars created by Solaris, such as Tina.
In the past, Lenneth had won temporary victories in the autumn battles many times. However, at that moment, the season turns to winter, and as snow falls from the sky, the administrator's authority is activated. If that happens, the keys to unlock this world's legacy will no longer be available. Because all the Regalia are needed to destroy the Malefic Verdant Tree.
This time, once again, Lenneth temporarily wins. But the snow erases everything. At least that’s how it seemed….
◾︎Tina's determination (summer)
This was before the summer departure.
"Hyde, will you listen to me?"
"Yes"
“If this battle loop is strong enough to be repeated for thousands of years, then the conditions for the destruction of the Malefic Verdant Tree must be quite special. What is expected is the gathering of all the Regalia except the Demon King. This cannot be achieved unless the five come together and lend their strength to Lenneth. However, if that were the case, it would not be surprising if this goal had been achieved by now. Maybe, there are some conditions that must be met.''
"I think so, too"
“I am a being created for the Solaris side to use. Therefore, in the end, I think there is a way for Solaris to forcefully control me. If that were the case, it would be almost impossible to collect all the Regalia and destroy the Malefic Verdant Tree. Paradoxically, this also proves that the loop structure cannot be broken. This is because this Regalia cannot be used by anyone that does not have special powers.''
Tina continues.
“But this time it’s different. Five meteors. I feel a special power in you guys who came from outside. This Regalia should also be usable, if only temporarily. Before the decisive battle, I would like to entrust the Regalia to you. If something happens to me, please use this to destroy the Malefic Verdant Tree... If we miss this, we won't have a chance. I would probably disappear along with this world, but yeah, I'm a little tired of living forever.'' Fate is always harsh on the righteous. Hyde nodded and couldn't help but think so.
