《Ultradimension neptunia the only hope》Chapter 33, the counterattack, cpu vs candidates for hierarch.
Advertisement
We are located in the most specific hyperdimension, Ryo's castle, which was in the center of the 4 nations, he had moved to that place since to open the door of the heart, he who has the key must be in the center of the 4 nations or at point 0.
But that didn't matter now, we settled in the throne room where ryo was sitting on his throne and his 4 hierarchs were kneeling before him.
"Well, the time we were waiting for has passed, tomorrow will be the day I get the power of the heart", said Ryo with a glass of wine in his hand and smiling victoriously.
"That's right lord ryo, how do we proceed?" Nereus asked.
"Well, as you know we already have the key", said Ryo showing a somewhat peculiar key since it had two keys the size of a sword forming an x, the key was golden with a few gems embedded in it.
"So that's the key?" Ventus asked.
"yes, genesis summoned it for me to use, as its bearer he is the only one who can summon it and decide who uses it", ryo explained.
"What will we do during the eclipse?" Snow asked.
"I want you to stay here to prevent them from interfering, and is the barrier already ready?"
"Yes, we erected the barrier that will protect the castle from intruders, to destroy it, it is necessary to destroy the reactors that are in each Basilicom of each nation, but it will be impossible since the candidates guard the reactors and have orders to eliminate any enemy" ; Genesis said.
"Well, after centuries we will finally achieve our goal," said Ryo.
"That's right lord ryo", said the 4 hierarchs.
"After the mission is complete, you can destroy this dimension until there is nothing left", said Ryo standing up from his throne.
The 4 Hierarchs smiled at that, they would finally destroy this dimension.
"Well, I'm leaving, I have to prepare the preparations for tomorrow, it's possible that those CPUs will come, so if they reach the castle use all their power, they can't interfere in this ritual since it can only be done once", Ryo said in a serious tone.
The 4 hierarchs only nodded and Ryo disappeared to go to the top of his castle to prepare the key that will give him access to the heart of the world, in just a few hours he will be able to fulfill his ambition.
Meanwhile the hierarchs stayed there in the throne room and went to sit on their own thrones that were there for them.
His mission was to stay in that castle to ensure that no one interferes during the ritual, this time allowing him to use all his royal power.
"Do you think those CPUs are coming?" asked Snow.
"I say yes, they somehow disabled the genesis attack," Ventus said.
How would they do it? Nereus wondered.
"It beats me, but they have been late, maybe they will arrive in a few hours," said genesis.
The Hierarchs nodded, but they were confident in their power.
One of the nice things about being in the ultradimension is that one year is equal to one day in the hyperdimension which gave the cpu more than enough time to get stronger even though their current power was very good but it wasn't enough as to face the hierarchs who have been getting stronger for years.
Also at that time thanks to histoire and the cpu of yesteryear they were able to undo the genesis attack by returning the time of the people of the ultradimension.

During this time, the 4 CPUs trained, along with their candidates, learning everything they could, since they did not know what new tricks the leaders have.
But the most dedicated was hyper-noire, who at this time wore Neptune's jacket, in a similar fashion as female Neptune does. Thanks to that she was one of the strongest cpu along with iris heart and lady purple heart.
++++
Now they were all gathered at the Basilicom to discuss their plan of attack.
"Very well after training like in a certain anime where he has a room where one day is a year, we are ready to kick some butt!" Neptune said happily.
"It's clear that many of you increased your level, but you need a plan," said Uranus.
"do you have one urano-nee-chan?" asked nepgear.
At this time nepgear met uranus and was very good with her, also if she was her brother's older sister, therefore she would be his older sister.
"yes, we have a plan, besides this", said uranus looking at the other cpu of yesteryear.
"So it's time?" Blake asked.
"well it was about time"; Bianca said.
"Yes, with this they can face the hierarchs", said Selene.
"What is Miss Selene talking about?" Rom asked.
"Do you remember when we saw the origins of the hierarchs we mentioned that we spend some of our life force to create something?" asked uranus.
"Yes, I remember, what did they do?", asked nepgear curious.
"As you will see, each hierarch has a very powerful sacred weapon that further enhances their abilities," said Blake.
"A Gehaburn example, they saw how much power the powers of nepgya and nepgeo were when they used it and that was not all the power but a fraction", Bianca explained.
Nepgya shuddered at her memory of how she used that sword, but female Neptune put a hand on her shoulder knowing what her little sister had been through.
"I also remember how Nereus left Neptune very injured," said Histoire, recalling when Noire was kidnapped and Neptune was seriously injured.
"Yes, that's why we took action," said Selene.
"measure?" ultra-vert questioned.
"Yes, we knew that those weapons were powerful so to combat them we decided to create our own sacred weapons", said Uranus.
"Did they create their own holy weapons?" I asked if surprised.
"Yeah, we decided to fight fire with fire," Blake said.
In a snap 4 weapons appeared, a spear, an ax and two swords.
A/N: They are like the weapons of the goddesses in the game cyberdimension neptunia.
"Whooooooa", the twins exclaimed at the sight of the weapons.
"Those are the weapons?!" ultra-noire was impressed.
"I feel great power," said ultra-blanc.
"Well, who will use them?" Plutia asked, also amazed by the weapons.
"Well that depends on these weapons, as they have the quality of choosing their wielder," Blake said.
"OH! It's like those legendary weapons where only the main characters can use them!" Neptune exclaimed smiling.
"You can say yes," said Uranus.
"Well, let's see who will carry these 4 weapons", said Selene snapping her fingers and the weapons disappeared in a flash only to appear in front of 4 people.
"nepu!",
"ah!"
"..."
"Oh my!",
"Hey? I was expecting ultra-blanc, my other self and our noire......... but Neptune?" hyper-vert spoke.
The ones that were chosen were the vert and blanc of the ultra dimension, and hyper-noire and Neptune.
"Perhaps, as blanc still has the desire to crush ventus because of shirou, and vert may be because of what happened to his nation once, which as far as we know Snow was responsible, and hyper-noire because of Neptune ......... but I can't place female Neptune"; said hyper-white.

"hm?, remember that she became close to them when she was cpu chaos, that was most likely it", said uranus.
"But leaving that aside now that they have the weapons, that doesn't mean they fight alone, they have to make teams to fight against the hierarchs", said Selene.
"But our first priority is our brothers," Ultra-Blanc said.
"according to what the oracles said each of the candidates is guarding a reactor that works as a power source for a shield that protects ryo's castle, and each reactor is in one of the 4 nations so to get to ryo and The leaders will first have to destroy the reactors and most likely we will have to fight against them", explained nepgya.
"So they erased their memories?" Compa said worried.
"They'll pay me for that!" said ultra-blanc.
"Then let's form teams, to see who goes to each nation," said the mini story.
"Well then, who's going to leanbox?" asked Selene.
"We'll both go," hyper-vert said with her other self nodding.
"we will accompany them," if said.
"Yes", said compa also pointing.
"It's okay, they will also receive help from the if and compa of our dimension"; said history.
"Heh, who would have thought I'd see another me from a different dimension," said if, smiling.
"I will go to Lowee to recover my nation", said hyper-blanc,
"I will also go, as the older sister of those two I have to go for them"; said ultra-white.
"I'll go too!" ram said excitedly.
"and me", said rom smiling.
"I'll go for saru," said ultra-noire.
"I also want to go, he owes me a rematch"; Uni said.
"I want to go too"; nepgear said.
"Are you sure to nepgear?" asked hyper-noire who would also go to Lastation.
"Yes, I have to go," Nepgear said determinedly.
"well if nep jr wants to go save her boyfriend let him go"; Female Neptune said.
"Sister!" Nepgear cried, blushing at her sister's words from another dimension.
"well, me, nep jr 2, Pururún, and p-ko will go for male nep jr", he said smiling as if his mission was an adventure to unlock a new character.
"Well, I'll go to coordinate the attacks against Ryo's army," said Histoire.
"Yes, I also plan to go, but first I have to coordinate the armies of the ultradimension, thanks to sa rei we will be able to create a portal that is stable enough to reach the hyperdimension," explained the mini story.
"oh! This is going to be great!" said Neptune.
"Please don't say it like we're going to a picnic," I speak sweating.
"Come on iffy don't squeeze your panties!" Neptune said making the peace sign.
"It wouldn't be like this, if we weren't going to fight against powerful fucking enemies," If said deadpan.
"She's right, we fight guys that can destroy dimensions like a walk in the park," Ultra-Blanc said, remembering the genesis rampages.
"Well then, get ready, it's time," Uranus said.
"yes, thanks for everything", said nepgear grateful as there was a way to make everything return to normal, thanks to the seventh generation cpu.
"It's nothing, it was our duty, after our failure," Blake said.
"Oh the failure of histoire," said Bianca.
"Come on Bianca, don't be like that with histoire anymore", said Selene.
"tch! Good! I'll forgive her if she can make my brother who he was before!" Bianca spoke.
"don't worry, if he doesn't want to reconsider we'll give him a good blow", ram said enthusiastically.
"She's excited," Uni said.
"Well she wants to save Shirou like he did to her once," Ultra-Blanc said.
"Well once we open the portal, we'll go back to our rest," Blake spoke.
"Will we not see them again?", I ask rom something sad, she had become fond of the ghostly cpu.
"That's right, little ones, our time is up, we were only here to help you with this problem, but don't worry, we will continue to take care of you wherever we are"; Bianca said with a warm smile.
"Yes, we wish you the best of luck in this battle," Uranus said.
"Thank you, but also thank you for helping us a lot in this situation", I speak grateful hyper-noire since thanks to the cpu of yesteryear there was hope to end this.
"It's nothing noire, besides, once this is over I'll entrust my brother to you, take good care of him", said Uranus in a soft tone and with a small smile.
"Y-if you don't worry I'll take good care of him", said Noire blushing.
"Perfect!" Uranus said and then whispered something to Noire, "If I find out you did something to my little brother, I'll come back from the dead and show you why I was called the lightning empress," Uranus said in a dark tone to then back off with a smile, "That's clear!"
"y-yes", replied noire pale from the threat.
"Sister-in-law fence", said hyper-blanc amused to see how her friend was paler than her hair in HDD.
"Well, we wish you the best of luck and may the true goddess guide you", said Selene, putting her two hands together.
The other old CPUs did the same, and suddenly a glow surrounded the whole place.
Without further ado a glow would surround the place and all but the mini histoire disappeared.
"Well I will start my part and prepare the armies"; told the mini story going to work.
In a forest that was far from the 4 nations there was a brightness where suddenly all the cpu of both the hyper and ultradimension appeared, as well as if and compa.
"I feel like I'll return my food," ram complained.
"I'm dizzy," Rom said, her eyes swirling.
"I see that the trip affected some", said histoire sweating seeing how most of the cpu wanted to return their food.
"I don't know how Neptune put up with that"; said hyper-noire.
"That's a mystery, but I see that her female self is perfectly fine," ultra-vert said, seeing female Neptune smiling.
"Let's go team nep to victory!", female Neptune proclaimed.
"wait! Since when have we had a team name! Because if it's that then I'm out," said ultra-noire.
"there are! I thought it was a cool name," said Loli cpu.
"Leave that, and let's find out where the resistance camp is," hyper-blanc said.
"lady blanc is not necessary",
A voice came from the bushes making everyone look with their guard up until suddenly the 3 oracles of the other nations came out.
++++
"Dear Vert!" Chika yelled after Vert, but the one I hugged was the Ultra-Vert.
"Hey? Who are you?" the ultradimension's leanbox cpu asked confused.
"But what do you say dear? If I'm your oracle, did you forget about me?" Chika asked with fake tears.
"Leave the drama, it's clear that this is not our vert-sama", said cave with an expressionless face and that he was winged by the hyper-vert.
"Hey?",
Chika looked up and widened her eyes turning her gaze between the two verts for a few seconds until.
"Yes! My vert-sama paradise!" chika said happily.
"I see that your oracle is very special", said ultra-vert amused.
"Yes, but she is a very good oracle and she is one of my most trusted soldiers," Vert said, pointing at Cave.
"nice to meet you, i'm a leanbox native cave", cave said respectfully.
"A pleasure, as you know I am also vert the leanbox cpu from another dimension.
"Yes, I am informed by the oracles or rather Kei and Mina, although it is still a bit surprising to know of other dimensions," Cave said.
While they were talking, we went to Lowee's.
"Mine!" was the cry of the rom and ram who went to embrace the oracle of Lowee and her caretaker.
"rom! Ram!" Mina said happily, returning the hug to see that the twins were fine.
"We miss you Mina!" Rom cried.
"I missed them both too, I'm glad they could finally be released," Mina said, holding back her own tears.
"mine, it was fun we met so many people! And guess! Guess! I have another twin!" said ram energetically confusing mina.
"another twin?"
"Yes, me too", Rom said smiling.
"I think they refer to my brothers?"; I speak ultra-white.
"I see, you must be the lady blanc from the other dimension?" Mina asked, looking at ultra-blanc-
"Yes", was the only thing I answered.
"I'm glad I'm Mina, the oracle of Lowee and caregiver of rom and ram", said Mina, introducing herself.
"My pleasure, I'm blanc the Lowee cpu of the ultradimension", said blanc also introducing himself.
"I see that they are very similar and also that he has two brothers", Mina said looking at the two blancs.
"yes, their names are shiro and shirou, formerly called rom and ram"; said white.
"I see, so everything histoire said is true, it is surprising to know more male cpu and that rom and ram have male versions of them", said mine amazed.
"Yes! Shirou is very funny although a bit shy and scared!" ram said.
"Yes, and Shiro is very funny and a bit reckless," said Rom smiling.
"I see, so shirou would be rom and shiro ram?"; I ask mine.
The twins nodded enthusiastically.
While they were talking, we went to Lastation's.
"I'm glad to see that you are well, lady uni and lady noire", said kei smiling seeing that the two girls were fine.
"Yes, although we've been through a lot and this isn't over yet," hyper-noire said.
"Yes, but how is your kei?" Uni asked.
"I'm fine, I've been leading Lastation's resistance and since they knew they were coming, their morale went up a lot," Kei said smiling.
"I see, don't worry this time we will win", said noire smiling.
"Yes, I also see that you are wearing new clothes", said Kei who noticed that Noire was wearing Neptune's jacket and was using it as female Neptune. "I see that it's true, I didn't think that Neptune was always a hierarch", Kei said in a slightly worried tone for Noire who did know that Lastation's cpu had feelings for Neptune.
"Yes, at first I was desperate, I didn't know what to do, but after the cpu of yesteryear told us that there was a way to recover it, I got excited, and I won't fail, I'll bring it back", said Noire touching the jacket.
"I see, I have no doubt that you will, I think that you will be the only one who can reach him, also that when this is over Lastation and Planeptune will be unified through a marriage", Kei said with a small smile.
"M-marriage!" Noire turned beet red at the thought.
"I wonder what the children of the cpu will be like? Since no cpu until now has married and it is not known if they have children in the traditional way"; Kei said.
Noire only turned redder at that and imagined little kids with purple hair and red eyes and black hair with purple eyes.
"I see you gave him a mental breakdown"; said ultra-noire sweating.
"oh? My apologies I did not see it, I am kei the oracle of Lastation", said kei looking at ultra-noire and apologizing for not showing up sooner.
"don't worry, you were meeting them again, so it doesn't matter, but as you can see I'm noire, the cpu of Lastation from the ultradimension"; the ultradimension cpu was presented.
"I see, it's a pleasure"; Kei said. "It's amazing to meet another version of Lady Noire," she said in awe.
"Yes, plus there is also a male version of me," Uni said.
"I know, histoire informed me, besides that he looks a lot like you when I saw him in Lastation guarding the reactor", Kei said.
"Is Saru in Lastation?" Noire asked.
"Yes, he is the guardian of the reactor," Kei said.
"I see, those reactors are the ones that provide a shield in ryo's fortress"; deduced hyper-noire.
"yes, we have to destroy them, but first we have to defeat their guardians"; Kei said in a serious tone.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it, as his older sister I have to go get him," said ultra-noire.
Kei just smiled, seeing that she was the same as her noire.
Meanwhile with those of Planeptune.
