===Suedomsa’s Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Suedomsa’s Over Reload>

Suedomsa saw two separate things underway inside the ceremony room.

The first was the Questron flower moving around Yuo in the back of the room.

The second was the countdown digital clock on the ceiling which had just dropped below 60.

Below it, the metal Questron flower was preparing to accept the great god’s true name.

The 16 large virtual connectors that acted as petals had thin lines of light running through the slits analogous to leaf veins.

The resonance buffer shielding on the bottom of the petals began to vibrate in readiness.

The only part not in motion was Yuo floating in the central glowing fruit.

She was waiting for everything else.

Suedomsa stood on the giant seven-layer diskette program locate at the entrance of the ceremony room.

Behind him stood Myst, Daikatana, and Algo with tiny Alternative on his shoulder. He faced forward with his head somewhat lowered.

'''<Suedomsa’s Over Zoom>

Yuo floated at the center of the distant flower.

His eyebrows drooped some and he sighed.

He raised his eyes from Yuo to the digital clock hanging from the ceiling.

And when the countdown reached 50…

'''“Time to begin.”

Shattering glass sounds came from both his arms.

The emblems that opened over the backs of his hands were a transparent azure. A cross symbol was drawn in them.

'''“I will redo this myself.

'''“To reclaim what I lost.”

After his Text raced out, the air gathered around the emblem on his right hand.

The emblem emitted a text string along with the wind and that string rapidly extended toward his elbow.

The string was also colored a transparent azure. The lengthy combination of text and lines said, '''●Type-XX012 – God-class – Explorer●

The text glowed and three diskette emblems combined with the trailing ●. Those rapidly rotated and glowed.

The emblems groaned and light gathered around the symbols on his hands.

The wind audibly blew and he raised his arms in the trembling air.

A dove flew from his shoulder. It flew toward the ceiling, scattering white feathers as it went.

Suedomsa opened his mouth.

“–––––!”

He prepared to yell out loud, but something else happened before he could.

A transparent reddish-purple diskette program floated at the center of the exposed metal ceiling.



'''<Suedomsa’s Over Zoom>

Suedomsa froze. He heard the breaths of the people standing behind them. After a solid gulp, he heard Myst’s voice.

“A destruction boosting progr-

Her comment could have been interpreted as a statement or a question, but she never got a chance to finish it.

Her voice was drowned out by a noise.

The loud crash of impact came from the ceiling. It came from the center of the emblem floating there.

It was approaching.

Light raced across the ceiling. The reddish-purple emblem had burst to illuminate the ceiling.

Then the destruction revealed its form.

A 5yd-radius circle at the center of the ceremony room’s ceiling was split open.

“––––!?”

Metal shards, rubble, and sparks. Roars, crashes, and rumbles. And a shouting voice piercing through all the destruction.

'''“Ohhhh!”

Someone’s will roared as they dropped from above. It was a young man with black spear emblems on his arms.

Suedomsa spoke his name.

“Aoe Shouzou! You actually made it in time!?”

'''<Suedomsa’s Over Reload>

Aoe landed among the ceiling rubble 20 yards away and stared straight at Suedomsa.

Their gazes audibly clashed.

But Aoe immediately looked away and slowly moved.

He turned around almost lazily.

Toward Yuo.

He looked to the Questron while the countdown displayed above it reached 40.

He ran over, his footsteps sounding loud and powerful in the ceremony room.

At the same time, Suedomsa shook his head.

“Are you going to stop her, Aoe Shouzou?” he asked, using the same tone he used to speak to himself. “Do you think a Plus dropout can find an answer that eluded a Minus Elite like me!?”

Then Suedomsa raised his arms again. To run the program.

The countdown had reached 35.

Suedomsa ran the program while watching the young man running to Yuo. He ran the program to alter the settings to x1000 within the shield linking the castle with Babel.
