Under these circumstances, it is impossible to truly kill you.
Kal'tsit
But what Theresa and Theresis accomplished convinced me of something.
Kal'tsit
Your control over Originium is not absolute, and there still exist some methods to limit your authority over it.
Priestess
I did meet the two you speak of, within the Originium.
Priestess
Their efforts were indeed unexpected, and a pleasantly surprising struggle.
Priestess
But what of it? How are you so sure now that killing me here won't be a futile act?
Kal'tsit
When Mon3tr attacked you, you chose to defend yourself.
Priestess
......
Priestess
How did you do it?
Kal'tsit
I see you have noticed.
Kal'tsit
Based on Theresa's research into Originium as well as the trap you set for Dr. {@nickname}, I added a few plans to your awakening room.
Kal'tsit
As long as you wake up here, your consciousness will be trapped in this body, unable to return to Originium's sea of information.
Priestess
...?
Kal'tsit
Perhaps you will eventually manage to break through this restriction, and regain control over Originium, but right now you are merely human.
Priestess
To think you'd go this far to rebel against meβ
Kal'tsit
Priestess, you are not Terra's creator. The life on this land has no obligation to bend to your will.
Kal'tsit
...This is my revenge on you, and my final act of resistance.
You see the woman standing across from you reveal a hint of hesitation, but immediately after, Originium surrounds her.
Kal'tsit
...It's too late.
Amiya! Help Kal'tsit!
Mon3tr
(Agitated roaring)
Amiya
Dr. Kal'tsit... it's my turn to protect you now.
Black Arts crash and smash the Originium cluster, freeing Mon3tr as it quickly resumes its attack.
Originium crystals begin to grow again, but it's too late to form a barrier strong enough to resist Mon3tr's claws.
You see a nervous look on Priestess's face, a show of fear from the creator towards her creation.
Priestess
...!
As if Priestess finally recognizes the threat she is facing, the Originium on the entire deck responds to her consciousness and begins to rapidly grow.
Smoke and dust scatter, leaving only Originium fragments on the ground.
And a tattered white coat.
Did we... defeat her?
Kal'tsit
......
Amiya
I can't feel... any signs of life, or any emotions...
Amiya
Maybe...
Everything happens so suddenly you haven't had the time to regard the series of events as reality.
You saw that fearsome foe reduced to ashes right before your eyes.
Yet you feel no relief at all.
???
Are we quite finished playing yet?
What's that?!
Amiya
Howβ
Kal'tsit
Doctor, Amiya, fall back!
Priestess
A powerful show of resistance, AMa-10. Your plan has proven effective.
Priestess
As you say, there is indeed a chance for you to kill me now...
Priestess
But how does a single substitute made of Originium fluster you so?
Kal'tsit
...!
Priestess
AMa-10, I have no intention of debating the value of your beliefs.
Priestess
The principles you have always insisted on are so insignificant I can't even find a credible logical framework to assess their significance.
Priestess
It is not uncommon for experiments to turn out like thisβsmall errors ultimately growing into huge obstacles. I have no choice but to accept this result.
Priestess
I'm very sorry, but I must treat you as an error, and wipe you out.
Priestess raises her hand.
Originium begins to grow once more. Thorned crystal branches tightly envelop you and Amiya in a second, nearly swallowing you both.
Amiya tries her best to shatter the surrounding Originium with her Arts, but the crystal clusters only grow faster.
Amiya
Doctor! Get behind meβ
Kal'tsit
β!
Kal'tsit
Mon3trβ
It all happens in a flash of light.
You see the Originium crystal cluster near you explode. Amiya wanted to protect you, but time does not allow for her reaction.
You see the black monster rush over, blocking you both from the cluster with its large, solid body.
It all happens so quick, but you still manage to comprehend the cruel truth.
The foe you all face is incomprehensible by conventional means. She has authority over all Originium.
The bit of Originium on Kal'tsit's right shoulder is proof that she was born human, but also what steals her life away.
Originium crystals begin to spread as they swallow her entire body, only to shatter as the wind blows them awayβyour eyes fail to capture the entire process.
