PHASE 102 - EVERYONE ASSEMBLE!

There are around a million-dimensional portals that are summoning our backup. I’m pretty sure this is Tiara’s wish in the , and she’s trying her best to match the omnipotent powers of the Sin Universe.

The first ones who entered this universe to our aid are Jeannette Amiella Fontaine von Noctis and Asumi Kozukata. As they walk with smiles on their faces, they immediately shifted to their divine forms: Rainbow Freya and Moon Goddess Haliya.

My heart flutters with joy as I saw them. They have this reassuring smile on their faces, and both of the goddesses made a nod at me. Rainbow Freya equipped her twin longswords, and Lord Haliya materialized her halberd.

“Jecchan! Asumi-nee!” Tiara cried happily.

“We’re here to fight the greatest battle of your lives, Tiara.” Rainbow Freya answered.

“Let’s grab that happy ending! We will take it by force!” Lord Haliya cheerfully shouted.

As they blast forward, a whole horde of Kozukata Shrine Maidens followed. Their leader was Ayano Mochizuki, who raised the shrine’s banners and shout while charging into battle.

“Kozukata Shrine votes for Tialaric Ship! We will make sure they will have the happy ending they deserve!”

“HOOOAAAAAH!!!” The shrine maidens roared.

The second batch of our reinforcements is the Aether Crusade members. Kristoff Anderson in the form of Lord Mercury, Emily Teronette in the form of Lord Hel, Eliseo Fontaine in the form of Lord Venus, and Francois Schopfer in the form of Lord Hephaestus. Kristoff is even carrying his wife Naomi on his arms as he made an entrance.

“I knew you were not the enemy, so I missed the shot.” Lord Mercury said with a lady-killer smile and a wink.

“Tiara, you helped us to prosper our love story. Now is the time for me and my husband to return the favor!” Naomi said.

“I hate to say this, but Master Ric is yours now, Tiara Hikari.” Lord Hel said.

“I’ll help you with this fight too! Hey, hey! You’re still going to help me hook up with other boys, right?” Lord Venus swayed her seductive body.

“Welp, I pledged to fight with the Aether Crusade. It’s an honor to fight with Aeternos and the Frozen Soul.” Lord Hephaestus said as he slammed his twin axes.

Among them was an ally we never expected to be helping. Helena Efilion, in her mixed four divinity forms with Odin, Vishnu, Mars, and Zeus. She’s on her mechanical knight armor, and she still has this tomboyish aura as she smiled to us both.

“Hey, Alaric and Tiara! I know what you’re fighting for, so I will still be on your side even though you have done terrible things to me and my brother. You guys are my baby brother and sister after all!”

“H-Helena…”

Seriously, I was about to cry. My tears are bubbling on my eyes, but I immediately wiped it off so that I cannot fall into this cheesy touchy reunion.

The third batch of reinforcements is the ones I never expected. It was Sister Amanda Cryst in her Lord Neptune form, and she was backed with thousands of Gate Guardians and even SWAT infantries. It’s like she is going to lead the country’s whole police force in this fight.

“I’m sorry that I was wrong to judge you two. The true enemies are the Eidolons and not our own Gate Guardians. I shall repent by assisting in this war. Please do the honors to take the lead, Mister and Miss Eisenhower.” Lord Neptune bowed.

“M-M-Mister and M-M-Miss Eisenhower!?” Tiara gasped. Her cheeks are in full red alert. She checked her wedding ring on her hand as she muttered some nonsense. “B-But we’re not married yet… or are we?”

“Hey, Tiara! Focus on singing! Focus!” I said. I’m flustered too, but we need Tiara to keep on singing the for us to win this fight.

Lord Neptune scoffed, and then shifted her gaze towards the millions of Eidolons in the battlefield. She immediately raised her staff as she made a warcry.

“Gate Guardians! Chaaaaaarge!!!”

“Hoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!” All the Gate Guardians roared furiously as they march forward to battle. They started to trample on the Eidolons, firing their weapons, smashing their enemies in a relentless manner.

“Hey, Rikkun!” Tiara called my attention.

When I turned to her, several platinum Gates opened just beside her. “They all agreed to fight this battle too!”

“They?” I cocked my head.

Suddenly, the platinum Gate spawned one of my archnemesis and my best friend. It was Heushac Efilion, fresh back from the dead. He immediately shifted his form to a god-killing machine Surtr.

“I’m here, Ric! Your best bro Nakama has arrived to fight this final battle! Let’s have a contest on who can take down the most!”

“Heushac!”

The second platinum Gate revealed another resurrected person. He was once the most hated idiot in the first book, and his appearance as my lover’s twin brother is always making me confused. He’s Diadem Solstice, and now he is taking the form of Lord Ra with the yellow hood of Hastur.

“Alaric, Sis Tiara… I have come to your aid!” Lord Ra said as he spread his golden wings and dived towards the battle.

“Diadem!”

The third platinum Gate materialized a girl whom we failed to save. However, because of Tiara’s omnipotent powers, her life in this universe is now guaranteed to have a long journey. She is our one and only kawaii homunculus girl: Key. She is now taking the form of Lord Athena.

“Alaric, Tiara. You have fulfilled your promise to me. You created a stable body capable of keeping my existence. I shall now aid you with all I got!” Key’s voice is still a monotone, but at least she’s now expressing a human smile.

“Key!”

Another people appeared in the platinum Gates, but they’re not from the afterlife. They are the other outsiders who helped us in defeating Necross Hades. The first one is a golden-brown blonde princess equipped with a sword, and the second one is a cosplayer who has a witch’s hat.

“Ohohoho! So we have been summoned by the ultimate power of the Frozen Soul~” Guinevere Arcaliburn laughed.

“Hey, Tiara! I promised you to show you a dragon, so watch this!” Z shouted as her body immediately transformed into an actual eight-meter-tall dragon with rainbow feathers!

“Guinevere! Z!”

“That’s not all, Rikkun!” Tiara jollily shouted. “They agreed to fight too, so I granted them temporary Gate Guardian powers!”

My eyes opened wide when I realized that even the side characters, albeit being normal persons have made their appearance in this final fight.

“Hey, I know what you’re thinking.” Macho Steel said as he smashed his steel knuckles before charging into battle. “I’m an ex-Gate Guardian too, so I’m just recovering my powers! Don’t lump me with the normies!”

“Idol Club is here to fight too, Tiara!” Awane and her doofus club members have joined the battlefield with their bizarre weapons such as rusty sickles, pencils, books, mic, and loudspeakers. Awane is also holding her signature weapon, which is a bat coated in barbed wire. “This will be our greatest concert! Attaaaaaack!!!”

“Friendzone Club! Phalanx Formation! Let’s protect our Arrogant king Alaric!” All the perverted classmates of ours in the Friendzone Club are here too, and they are wearing nothing but towels to cover their private parts. Now I recovered my PTSD during that chaotic Hotspring event in Book 1. What are they going to do, sumo tackle the Eidolons to death?

“The true enemy of our town is the ultimate evil and not the Brightmore Witch! So now, we will charge to battle with our glorious hearts! Uraaaaaaaaahhh!!!” The old hag cult leader in the Brightmore Shrine is also here, and she’s leading an angry mob. They are armed with torches, rakes, wooden crosses, and even voodoo dolls. For me, they’re scarier than the Eidolons.

“We will fight, not because of the Arrogant King, but for Tiara who conquered him!” Our bow-haircut classmate charged with the (stalker) girls. For some reason, I realized one similar thing between these hordes of girls… They are all the people I have rejected in my life! And now they’re fighting too? What will they do, share their heartbroken stories with the Eidolons? WTF?

As if the Friendzone Club members and the Rejected Girls are not embarrassing me enough, it becomes worse. My whole nerd squad is here, and they are making ridiculous poses like power rangers. They even have these colored suits which made them look like Meme Lords. Filthy frank would be proud.

“Weebo Red!” John Casterdyne made his McDonald pose.

“Weebo Green!” Chrisprel cried with sincerity and full of heart.

“Weebo Pink!” Ranley laughed fabulously.

“Weebo Yellow!” Daughty’s white smile contradicts his ugly face.

“Weebo Blue!” Heushac went from the frontline all the way back here. I guess he does not want to miss this reunion.

“...”

I was awestruck. I’m just silent, and I want to disown my friends this way. They are so embarrassing!

“Rikkun, you can join them,” Tiara whispered. Then she pumped her fists to cheer me up. “Don’t hold back! Go nuts!”

“T-Tiara…” I cried. I literally cried. I never would have thought that my lover knows all my true feelings.

So, without further ado, I made a narcissistic pose and went to my squad. As the most handsome of them all, I will show everyone with my head up high.

“Weebo White!” I shouted out loud. “Weebo Squad, ready for battle!”

A colorful rainbow explosion blasted to make our entrance a lot more epic.
