Chapter 966: Fighting The Traitors
-----
Catastrophes happened one after another. From Elbedo, Cecilia, and Hermes betraying everyone else, to the two powerful Divine Beasts easily overwhelming everyone, and then Brisingra telling Mercedes what she was, and the truth of this entire Scenario, which caused an error within her "Memory".
There were too many questions within everyone's minds, but there was no time to ask for questions, and even less to receive proper answers.
Everyone entered the Dungeon believing this was nothing but a simulation of ancient times, but things were continuously becoming too complex to be just simulations anymore. Especially when Elayne learned the existence of concepts such as a "Time Fragment Core", and a "Time Memory Fragment".
"Could it mean that this entire Scenario is somehow a fragment of time itself? Then it is reality, yet it is not?!" Elayne thought to herself as she saw the messages one last time.
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
[ERROR!]
[Scenario disruption due to data breach within the internal synapsis!]
[Time Fragment Core corrupted by internal data breach.]
[Internal Data Concept and Temporary Dimensional Reconstruction has been greatly damaged.]
[Issue Detected: Time Memory Fragment has been greatly alarmed and has taken self-consciousness of the situation.]
[Solution Method: Calm down the Time Memory Fragment before it continues to greatly corrupt the Scenario and the Dungeon.]
[A New {Emergency Scenario Quest} has been generated: {Repair Request}
[The Internal System Artificial Intelligence has detected a great damage within the Internal Synapsis of the Special Divine Dungeon: {Cloudia's Fragment: 1/4}, please solve the situation before the Scenario is greatly corrupted.]
[Quest Conditions]: [Stop the Time Memory Fragment from further corrupting the pillars of the Scenario.]
[Completion Rewards]: [Large Quantity of Score Points.] [System Administrator Privileges] [Automatic Scenario Rearrangement]
[Time Limit]: [10 Minutes before Scenario Corruption reaches Critical Levels.]
[Failure]: [The forced destruction of the current Scenario to keep the Time Fragment from being corrupted, possibly killing everyone inside.]
"And this was provoked because Brisingra continued speaking about the past and the present… Mercedes somehow couldn't handle all of that, and made this "simulated" memory within time to doubt its own existence?" Elayne kept thinking. "Agh, no, no time to think about anything now! I have to save Brisingra and help Mercedes snap out of it!"
Hermes had enough of Brisingra and Mercedes or anything they were talking about, quickly using his Time Magic and conjuring a giant spear made of Time.
"{Chrono Spear}!"
BOOOM!
Brisingra's barrier, which was protecting her mother and herself, was shattered, as the trio of traitors jumped towards Mercedes and Brisingra, their eyes filled with madness.
"Stop right there!"
However, in that very moment, Elayne's giant Lion Club smashed the head of Hermes into the ground. Mark's sword cut Elbedo's wings cleanly. And Lily's giant rocky arms broke Celica's arms, kicking her down!
"L-Lady Planta, everyone!" Brisingra cried of happiness to see them.
"Brisingra! Are you alright?" Planta asked with a gentle tone of voice, despite giving a furious draconic roar as her body started to transform.
The ceiling of this temple could only reach as high as fifty meters, so she was quite limited on her transformation. Nonetheless, she still went all-out once more, there was no time to waste, and no time to think!
Her body quickly transformed like before, as her already slightly tired Dragon Spirits once more channeled their power into her. To complement their exhaustion, the Great Spirit of Harvest added her own power too, and to add even more, Elayne called upon the strength of the Verdant Green Domain!
Ding!
[You have activated several skills, spells, and abilities and combined them together alongside Hundreds of Lesser Dragon Spirits, Holy Light Spirits, and your tamed Dragon Spirits! You have further strengthened the convergence of abilities and spells with the Divine Essence of the Verdant Green Domain!]
[You have temporarily transformed into the {Three-Headed Holy Yggdragon Goddess} form!]
[All your Stats have further increased by +550%, all of your Spirit and Dragon-type Skills and Spells Power has increased by +350%, your HP and MP Regeneration Speed has increased by +1.100%, and you have gained the ability to activate the Divine Skills: {Holy Yggdragon Domain}, {Divine Dragon Spirit Army}, and {Celestial Draconic Weapon Creation}!]
As her body transformed, the trio of researchers were shocked, stepping back. Their plan was not to confront Planta and her friends at all after all. They would have never guessed they could be so strong as to break that giant stone wall, which Elbedo had made sure to reinforce with many Runic Engravements.
They knew that Planta and her friends were very strong, and therefore wanted to leave them to the Divine Beasts to handle.
FLAAASH!
[An Aura of {Holy Yggdragon's Domain} has spread everywhere, your Domain and Terrain has gained the {Immunity} status, becoming incapable of being destroyed as long as your transformation remains.]
[Duration: 7 Minutes.]
As Elayne transformed, a powerful domain extended everywhere. This was the combination of most of her abilities into one, an ultimate form which contained even divinity itself! Elbedo instantly kicked away Mark with his divine draconic strength, all while gathering his flames to burn the domain.
"As long as you can burn her domain, she's not that strong!" He roared. "Burn it!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, although golden and silver flames spread out across Elayne's domain. The plants were not dying, and more Spirits kept appearing everywhere. The entire ruins were already filled with hundreds within seconds! And her Stats kept increasing based on how many spirits were around, to boot.
"You damned lizard, her domain's not burning!" Hermes kept conjuring basic fire spells.
"What?!" Elbedo muttered, a second before Elayne appeared before him, her club unleashing its power at full strength.
"{Nemean Lion's Rampage}!"
"Shit!"
Elbedo gritted his teeth as he started transforming to take on the hit, but because he started too late, Elayne's whole attack hit his head and the rest of his body on a barrage of lion claws slashing through him.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"RAAAH!"
Elayne overcharged her weapon with as much Mana as she could inject to it, releasing an explosive, fourth strike, smashing Elbedo's draconic head and crushing it over the floor.
CRAAASH!
