Guys, sorry for the wait!

What took you so long, Hans?!

We're all ready to go! Let's mop the place with that guy once and for all!

Even though this is our last battle, you still show no signs of etiquette.

What can you do?

I mean, Lugina's bad manners are scarier than the Four Fallen Gods put together, don't you think?

Well... Now that you mention it, actually...

Why you little...!

Hahaha! Even though this is our last fight together, none of you are the least bit nervous, huh?

Seeing you guys so full of energy makes me feel a bit better.

Well, Hans. We've finally made it this far.

Reminds me of way back in the day. When you first crossed the gate.

Back then I thought...

Karl! If you're just gonna go on forever, then just quit while you're ahead!

The fight's not over yet!

Ho ho ho.

Seria is right.

Karl. It's too early to talk about what happened in the past.

Elder Grahdens!

Tsch, I'm sure he's gonna have some old boring story to tell...

I'm sorry to disappoint you.

But in fact, we thought that perhaps we could lend you a hand during this last battle.

Lord Eriole!

Does that mean you intend to fight on the frontlines?!

But of course.

Paris, do you think I will be a hindrance?

N-Not at all!

H-However, if you do... you could get seriously injured!

Even if the situation gets intense, I still want to contribute as much as I can.

......

Ho ho ho. Pretty little Paris is so sweet.

Well, I guess I should explain a bit of what is happening.

Make it quick! That's what you really came for, isn't it?

Karl, be quiet! Shut your yap for a second!

Err, ehem. All right...

Umm...

Gramps is totally clueless, isn't he?

He can't help it, Karl. Elder Grah has been around for a really long time.

Tilith, even you...

I'm totally worthless now. Eriole, I'll leave the rest up to you...

...Very well.

Everyone probably knows by now, that the castle of the last Fallen God, Afla Dilith, lies ahead.

Oh, that humongous castle over there?

Psh, you'd have to be blind to miss it.

Exactly. I'm indeed referring to that large castle.

However, it is no normal fortress.

What you see before you is Afla Dilith himself.

I'm afraid I am, Seria.

Afla Dilith has the ability to absorb other powers onto himself.

So that castle you see before you, is actually the last Fallen God.

He entrapped other gods within himself, and is now using their powers for his own purposes.

Until now, Zurg had been collecting these offerings for Afla Dilith in order to help him in the fight against Zevalhua.

But now that we have defeated Zurg, one could say that the god is not holding back any longer.

Before our last battle happened, he assimilated the castle for extra protection.

It wouldn't be farfetched to say that he transformed himself into something he could use to ambush us.

I don't believe it...

And just how are we supposed to fight that freak?!

A fight with a giant, huh? Can't really picture that.

What's more, who'd wanna do a job as complicated as that one?

......

Hmph, Lugina. Are you perhaps volunteering for the task?

Tsk, no thanks!

All that mess about crawling into the belly of a god, that's for Hansto handle.

Crawling into its belly?!

You mean, we're going inside that thing...?!

Of course.

No matter how large he may be, that castle is still something he assimilated.

So his real body must still be inside of it somewhere.

And if it is, all we have to do is eliminate it.

Easier said than done...

Heh!

Even if we distract gigantor over there from the outside,

that doesn't make things any less dangerous for us!

Also, won't we need the Goddess's divine protection to even get inside that monster?

Indeed.

I don't believe that mere humans like ourselves would be able to withstand the power found within a god's body.

This task can only be performed by someone special.

Someone with strong ties to the Goddess, such as Hans.

Lady Tilith, is there any way you could keep Hans out of harm's way?

You bet! Leave it to me!

Hans and I will show everyone just how strong our bonds are!

Right, Hans?

I don't know why, but that's irritating in a weird way...

Ho ho ho. That's Tilith for ya.

Hans.

We know we are asking quite a lot from you,

but we have faith in you all, and in your powers.

The outcome of the battle with the last of the Four Fallen Gods depends on you.

Well, I guess we should start heading towards the castle first.

It's okay if we all split up and go at our own pace like always, right?

Of course. Sure thing.

Hahaha, sounds good!

Okay! Are you ready guys?

Let's meet one last time on the battlefield!

Move out!
