"Kikuchihara-san! This is bad! It's a battlefield here!" Souta explained in a panic.

He is quite some distance away from the [Creations], but he saw the large pink heart that almost destroyed half of Tokyo. He is familiar with it as he had seen it in the anime. Mamika used it to eliminate a very formidable opponent who affected an entire city. Only now did he realize that her attacks, which did not affect anything else other than the monster, can affect their real-world horribly.

Souta then recalled the main purpose behind his call.

"That's right! Meteora-san! She asked for your permission!"

"Permission?" She asked. "Where is she right now?"

"The... military girl appeared. She's balancing out the situation right now."

"Balance out?"

"Right! A powerful [Creation] appeared just now. That unknown person prevented that great attack alone."

On the other side, Kikuchihara listened with utter seriousness. The entire council was alarmed by the huge pink light just now. Undoubtedly, everyone in Tokyo, perhaps the entire world even, had seen it.

In simpler terms, they are screwed. The thing that they had not wanted to see the most, which is causing a great disturbance in the entire world, happened.

"Sigh... We should begin—"

Suddenly, grey fog enveloped the entire conference room. Not only that but the entire of Tokyo. Nay, the entire world is covered with it!

*****

Moments ago.

'I could feel the suppression weakening..!' Shiro thought. 'This is fucking bad!'

"The promised time came faster than expected, didn't it?"

"It did."

Shiro did not mind the military girl's air of superiority. Now that he could feel the suppression of the world swiftly weakening, the same went for the girl too. his blatant action of using wide-scale powers only worsened it. 

Scanning his surroundings, he saw most of the [Creations] in this world. Mirokuji Yuuya and Blitz Talker, the two that were not present earlier, came here whilst fighting. The latter was being chased by the former, which led to this situation. As for Kanoya, he was left out due to his Gigas Machina patrolling the airspace hundreds of kilometers away from here.

"Ragnarok had come ahead of its time." 

"Meteora, the holder of "Book of Thousand Miles". Do you mind lending your power?"

"My power..?" She asked before realizing something. "You can fix this."

"I can."

[Concealment]-!

Everyone else did not expect that the grey fog that enveloped them had expanded to the entire world. Nothing escaped its grasp, just as how no mysteries could ever escape his grasp.

'I fooled a god once.'

[Blind Stupidity]-!

Clap-!

Clasping both of his hands, everyone felt time slow down briefly. Buggy effects started to appear within their battlefield. It is the world not being able to properly respond to this contradiction. For once, Shiro is currently using his powers, something forbidden by it, in the entire world itself. But, he is also using it to undo the damage that was done—that is, to erase the memories of every human to strengthen its restorative power once more. This will bring back the 'rationality' that this world wanted to retain.

[Ninth Movement of Cosmos: Fate—]

Before Altair could finish her attempt to hinder Shiro, she found her thoughts harder to maintain. The other characters sensed the return of the normal flow of time. It is the result of him focusing [Blind Stupidity] on her alone. While she is an extremely troublesome opponent to deal with as he could not even injure a strand of her hair, it is still enough to prevent her from utilizing her power.

"Take care of my library... for now."

[Librarian of the End]-!

The area was rewritten once more. Shiro's [Reality Marble] overlapped the current texture of this world, allowing it to displace the current 'space'. Soon, they were brought into an endless space of books. Shelves continued up to the farthest that they could ever see, yet it is endless. It is neither from the past, present, nor the future, but one that oversees it all. It is the embodiment of his authority that allowed him to be crowned as the Supreme Magus of his native world.

Albeit fake, it has a certain connection with the original.

"This is..?!"

Meteora felt it. It is the same as her abode back in her world, but something else is different. This place is more "complete" in stricter terms. Not only that, she immediately knew that this library's authority was temporarily transferred to her. In a sense, she is a temporary librarian.

[—Restoration]-!

[Blind Stupidity] did not prevent the military girl from using her abilities but only slowed her down. Now that she successfully used it, the restraints in her thoughts were broken. Her state was returned to the original. However, she did not recklessly face them again as she sensed the growing suppression of the world and this library on her.

"What should we do, jou-chan?" Blitz, an old bearded uncle, asked her.

"I will break this world first. The plan to weaken the real world can't be enacted anymore. 'He' is preoccupied with something, so there's no need to worry about 'him'."

Surprisingly, the military girl retracted her superiority as she easily figured out the general situation. She is different from before because of her creator's existence. When her creator woke up, she swore that she would accomplish their final goal no matter how hard it was.

Meanwhile, the logbook of the library appeared in Meteora's hands. Just by looking at it, she could already intercept vast amounts of abstract information. Instinctively, she knew how to use it. Just like her magical tome, she can will the logbook for her selected topics to appear.

'Dimension seal. I see.'

She selected one of the available concepts in the logbook before allowing it to manifest in the real world.

[Dead End Maze]-!

Papers flew in the military girl's direction, covering her from head to toe. Then, the pages of books disappeared when they became a golden cube that encased the military girl. The cube shrunk visibly, taking her away with it.

Bang-!

Crack-!

Bang-!

Psshk-!

Two rounds of bullets were aimed at Meteora. She managed to deflect the first one with her barrier, but it was broken by the second one and hit her, bringing forth a huge impact on her. This sent her flying into the library.

Bam-!

She focused all of the library's power on trapping the military girl, hence it happened. Kal'tsit wanted to help her, but Magane stopped her. She is now using Mon3tr as her shield after knowing about Kal'tsit's unbelievable strength. She could not be hurt by it, so she leveraged Mon3tr to become her shield. She tried to recall Mon3tr, but she later found out that Magane used its sentience into tricking it to stay here until the end of the battle—through a lie, of course.

Swooosh-!

A pink arrow went straight for Blitz, but he intercepted it by firing three bullets at it. He then saw another Magical Girl who has a wooden bow in her hands. She is currently in a stance, preparing to cover Meteora again.

Swooosh-!

Clang-!

Selesia dashed in front of Blitz, brandishing her rapier at him. The uncle blocked it with his heavy metal handgun. He was forced to dodge once more when a black katana brushed over his head.

"Oi. He is my enemy." The lanky man with purple hair said. "Can you leave us be?"

"Now is not the time for this! The destruction of the world is at stake here!"

Selesia did not heed Yuuya's words as she pressed Blitz down with her offensive. Seeing the seriousness of the knight, Yuuya did not pursue his match any longer. Just as he is about to attack the old uncle, the library is 'shattered' like glass. 

Crack-!

They were soon brought back to the real world once more. There is no longer any grey fog in it. The orange sky is clear, with the setting sun visible within their sights.

The military girl had also broken through the maze at some point.

"Looks like everything would not end here." She said.

"So it seems."

The mysterious cloaked man, Shiro, promptly disappeared out of their sight without any warning. The military girl also did after a series of blue glitch panels appeared in her. Furthermore, Magane can no longer be found as she escaped with her [Infinite Deception of Words] during her fight with Kal'tsit.

"Will you join us?"

Mamika looked at the blonde pegasus knight. She knew that this chivalrous knight is not a bad person, which is why she had gone through the effort of reasoning out with her. She found it to be her responsibility to tell her the truth— about what the military girl truly wanted.

"I apologize. I am held accountable for the safety of my... creator. I can't join you now."

"What about the future?"

"...I'll think of it."

With that, she signaled her white horse to fly.

"Meteora-san! Are you alright?"

Souta approached Meteora who staggered for a moment. The logbook was no longer in her grasp, accompanying the library with its disappearance. 

"I am." She replied. "We have successfully averted the crisis. The military girl was prevented from having her advantages over this world."

She could tell that the world is back to normal. The restorative forces were back to their full power. She has an inkling as to what the cloaked man did, but that has to wait until they have settled the aftermath.

With this, the abrupt battle that almost escalated into a full clash ended.
