Chapter 369 Finale
"Huh... she's super malicious and cruel," Luka couldn't help but comment as he saw Beatrice torment Lara.
Meanwhile, Etz Chaim's eyes were shining. "She's so cool! That's how you have to deal with someone like Lara!"
Luka's expression darkened as he could tell that Etz Chaim was subtly throwing shade at him for sparing Lara the first time. He shook his head and spoke candidly.
"No matter how much you dislike her, she still isn't going to die today."
Etz Chaim blew her top immediately. "What?! Why????"
"Because she will be an excellent tool to use against Deus. Now that Myra isn't here, I can do whatever I want to her," Luka narrowed his eyes and stated with an icy coldness that even chilled Etz Chaim.
Knowing how ruthless Luka could be, especially after becoming a God, Etz Chaim suddenly felt like pleading for Lara.
Meanwhile on the other side, Lara had lost her last bit of rationality due to Beatrice's provocation and attacked with her full power, holding nothing back. The area surrounding one light year around her shook from the greenish energy she was releasing that was tainted with flecks of black.
"Let's deal with her together," Dante said with a smile, waving his hand to unleash the full power of his Eternal Talent of technology.
"Yes, let's," Beatrice acknowledged as she took the lead, unleashing biggie's power as her fist magnified in size to encompass the entire area around Lara.
"DIEEEE!!" Lara screeched as she unleashed a beam of energy that collided with Beatrice's fists, actually knocking her back and causing her knuckles to bleed slightly.
Beatrice shrunk her hand and glanced at her damaged fist with a raised eyebrow. "Huh, she isn't as weak as I thought."
Dante meanwhile, converged his power. He didn't summon creations of technology to fight for him, opting to take to the battle himself. He manifested his power as a mecha suit that was similar to the Supreme Mecha he bestowed his subordinates, but was more than a trillion times more powerful.
He stretched his hand out, and from the purest and more powerful nanites backed by Eternal Energy, a weapon similar to his blood battle halberd formed. Dante casually flourished the weapon and reminisced on his path from Planet Etonia over 7 years ago to now.
With a casual movement, he appeared beside Lara, his halberd glowing with the familiar blood energy that was replicated by his mech suit. Along with it was a white light of his knight energy that was at max power, causing his strike to possess the force of more than a million tons.

The crazed Lara screamed and unleashed her energy crazily, causing orbs of greenish light to explode from her body in all directions. Each orb contained enough power to destroy a galaxy, and was not something that anyone could take head-on.
"Luka Sanguis! You can't let them harm me! Myra will never forgive you!" Lara cried out as she saw Dante raise his arms to deal the final blow.
"Myra is my soulmate and you are just her creation. You really think I would come this far if Myra didn't tacitly agree?" Luka revealed with a shake of his head.
This revelation hit Lara harder than any physical attack or verbal assault she had received today. Her entire body seemed to shrivel and become pale as her eyes became hollow.
"No... no, this can't be... Myra, my precious Myra... she wouldn't abandon me... she wouldn't..." Lara muttered weakly, lost in a trance.
Luka shook his head. "She's finished. You can do with her what you wish."
Dante nodded. "There is no escaping death for her. Not just for the actions she had done, but for the danger she possesses. Sealing her again would be a waste, she would eventually try something later on."
"However, ever since I chatted with her clones on that livestream, I've been harboring an idea. Lara doesn't need to be sealed because there is a better way to occupy her until her time comes."
Luka was intrigued by this. "Oh? What do you have in mind?"
Dante waved a hand, and for the first time since Lara was released, used his authority to act on her. Lara broke out of her trance when she felt death come upon her, and this novel experience caused her to panic.
"Nooo! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!!"
Her pleas fell on deaf ears as Dante crushed her body and extinguished her life using the authority he had. He then dragged over two things, one of which was Lara's soul, which was a greenish-black color, and another which was the purple remnant of his authority.
After absorbing the remainder of his authority and perfecting it, Dante smiled and held Lara's soul up.
"I was thinking, why not give her the chance she never got? Just as Forest Fairies like Valeria and Keira were reincarnated into mortal lives and lost their memories, so too shall I specially reincarnate Lara into a loving family."
"This might sound corny, but I believe in the power of love. The blackness that has appeared in Lara's soul can be washed away with enough of it," Dante concluded.
Luka nodded deeply. "Feel free, this idea is far better than the one I had."
Dante released some energy which covered Lara's soul causing it to float up and then shoot towards the depths of the void, heading towards the Centralis Universe to be reborn.
The four people of Luka, Etz Chaim, Dante, and Beatrice watched the soul go, wondering what fate had in store for this troubled being...
