Dioscuri - Castor
You talk too much, barbarian.
Dioscuri - Pollux
Yes, he does. Shall we kill them now, Big Brother?
Limbo
Ahh, yes, I do hope you'll forgive me! Very well then, I will leave the massacre to you two.
After all, it would be quite absurd for a Disciple of the Foreign God to clean up a mess brought about by negligence on your family's behalf!
Dioscuri - Castor
...Hmph. That's right, it would be. Now be quiet.
So, we finally found you, humans.
Dioscuri - Pollux
...We found them, Big Brother.
Macarios
The Dioscuri! You... You always...!
You always snatch our hope away from us! Every single time...!
Adele
...Well this time, you won't.
We won't let you take anything from us ever again!
Mash
Both of you, be careful! The Dioscuri are a Divine Spirit Servant!
Please, get back before they hurt you!
Dioscuri - Castor
... ...
...You've kept me waiting a long time. Now, this is where it ends.
Don't think I've forgotten how you humiliated us with your filthy, worthless spell, lowly humans.
Though our light will never be sullied by the pitiful death struggles of weaklings like yourselves...
...you should be thrilled that you managed to injure my pride.
Dioscuri - Pollux
You're all in for it now. No human has incurred Big Brother's wrath and survived.
Dioscuri - Castor
Now, prepare...
Dioscuri - Pollux
...for divine justice.
Dioscuri - Castor
Death to all of you!
Caenis
Goddamn bastard twins!
Caenis
The hell're you so worked up over a bunch of humans for, huh!?
...This is just like what happened last time, too.
You sure you little ***** aren't forgetting anyone?
Ha! You thought I'm the one who didn't belong among the gods?
You got balls saying that to my face after Kirschtara ground your asses into the dirt like it was nothing! Did you forget how you had to go crying to big daddy Zeus, pleading for your lives?
You got the great Caenis to deal with, and you dumb ***** stay focused on these weaklings... Well I've HAD it!
Die, shitheads!
Dioscuri - Pollux
The sea-god's spear! I knew it was too good for the likes of you!
Caenis
I said shut the hell up and DIE!
Dioscuri - Pollux
...Are you all right, Big Brother?
Dioscuri - Castor
I'm fine. Mere magical energy light from an ordinary Heroic Spirit can never hope to match ours.
Holmes
The Dioscuri, gods of light. They may indeed move at near-light speed, but it seems they aren't capable of nullifying all forms of light directed at them.
Does that mean they have openings we can take advantage of? As they say nowadays, the jury is still out.
Caenis
Stay out of my way, Trench Coat! Your magical energy light show isn't gonna do shit, anyway!
Musashi
Hey now, don't go throwing out the baritsu beam with the detective. Anyway...
As far as we're concerned, gods of light, you're just one more milestone on the road to slaying all the gods!
I'm not exhausted like last time, and to top it off I'm feeling better than ever thanks to the queen's amazing food!
Mash
Activating Ortinax's emergency combat mode! Adjusting operational output to seventy percent!
I'm ready, Master!
Choices
- Don't forget to keep Europa safe!
- First order of business: get past the Dioscuri!
Mash
Understood!
Caenis
LET'S FREAKIN' GOOOOOO!!!
[...]
Dioscuri - Castor
Insolent worms!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Don't bother fighting back, humans! You'll never escape death at my brother's hands!
Mash
The Dioscuri are still alive and well! Our current fighting forces just can't beat them!
Musashi
Gah, my eyes! It's like looking into the sun!
(I don't know if they're actually moving at light speed or not, but I do know both their sword and discus are really freaking fast!)
(Mash is doing a great job defending against them. Caenis's spearplay is as sharp as it's ever been.)
(And despite his injuries, Emperor Caligula's fists haven't slowed down. Berserkers gotta berserk, I guess...)
(Still, the way things are going, it's only a matter of time until one of us gives up the ghost. I might just have to sacrifice one of my swords after all!)
Minerva
Hoooooot!
Dioscuri - Castor
!
Dioscuri - Pollux
That trick again!?
Limbo
Oh yes, of course it won't work! Not against mighty gods of Olympus!
But just to be safe...allow me to use my sorcery to negate it!
[...]
Mash
Limbo's magical energy signal has vanished! I'm not seeing Europa's signal anywhere in our vicinity, either!
Caenis
He got away!? How'd that piece of shit jester pull that off!?
Holmes
He appeared to be using some manner of instantaneous travel...although such a thing shouldn't even be possible with existing magecraft.
Perhaps it's some ability unique to the Foreign God's Disciples, or a kind of spell still unknown to us.
(Or, alternatively, it could be a form of an Eastern technique, Jinsokutsu⸻)
Dioscuri - Castor
Worry not. You'll never need to know.
For what use would such knowledge be to corpses?
Dioscuri - Pollux
Right you are, Big Brother. Come, let's kill them all here and now.
[...]
Dioscuri - Pollux
Sh-shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up!
One more word insulting my brother, and you'll live just long enough to regret it, pitiful human!
Caenis
Ha! See, that right there's why you idiots keep getting taken advantage of! That's how I ended up free enough to turn down the winning team and side with these Chaldea dipshits!
You think Kirschtaria trusts you implicitly, huh? Well, I guess you're not wrong.
'Cause he definitely trusts you to keep to your absurd hatreds like the drooling morons you are!
Dioscuri - Pollux
We've heard enough, Big Brother! Nothing more need be said! All that's left to do is to kill every last one of them!
Dioscuri - Castor
Pollux...!
Dioscuri - Pollux
We are the Dioscuri, the twin gods! Though our light may normally serve as a guiding beacon...
...for you lot, it will be an inescapable blade of death punishing you for your sins!
Choices
- Mash!
- Keep Adele and Macarios safe!
Mash
Understood! I'm ready, Master!
Preparing to engage in Anti-Divinity combat!
[...]
Mash
Oh no you don't!
Dioscuri - Castor
That rigidity! That immobility! It can't be!
The light radiating from your shield... Is that⸻
Dioscuri - Pollux
Athena's protection, the Aegis!?
Impossible! Now that Odysseus is gone, the Aegis should no longer exist in this Lostbelt!
Prometheus-Hephaestus
Indeed, that is not the true Aegis.
But by extracting and purifying Athena's Theos Klironomia⸻Nike Sophia, her final Authority of victory...
Prometheus-Hephaestus
...I was able to change it... into a form suitable for ingestion.
...and, h-hehe, mixed it in... with Queen Europa's cooking!
Dioscuri - Castor
!
Prometheus-Hephaestus
And that's not all... Heroic⸻or rather, Divine Spirit Caenis!
Prometheus-Hephaestus
I know this may be overstepping my bounds...but I took the liberty of tweaking your Spirit Origin a bit...so as to better synchronize with Poseidon's Authority.
Prometheus-Hephaestus
Forgive me...exalted tyrant...
Caenis
Tch.
How the hell'm I supposed to complain to a guy who's already dead, you idiot?
So I'll save that shit for later. Meanwhile...
I'll just help myself to every last bit of that asshole god's vortex power!
Ha! Get ready, you little *****! Now that my spear is sharper than ever...
Caenis is unleashed!
And I'm gonna pay you back for what you did to me in Atlantis, and for your pathetic, whiny grudge...
...a thousand times over!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Is that...Poseidon's trident I'm sensing!? She must have raised her spiritual rank!
Be careful, Big Brother!
Dioscuri - Castor
Humans! Stupid, pathetic, insignificant humans! What use could the likes of you have for a divine artifact!?
Killing a god will forever be beyond your means!
Have at you, human scum!
I am the god of light! I will tear you to pieces and scatter you to the winds!
Caenis
Let's do this thing!
Mash
I'll follow your lead!
Musashi
Same!
Musashi
(Looks like we've got one more shot at victory. Fine by me! Let's make the most of it!)
(Now we've got Athena's Aegis, and a spear that's been imbued with the power of Poseidon's trident!)
(Between an invincible shield and an unparalleled spear, we should be able to take them both out simultaneously!)
(Get ready, Dioscuri!)
(I'm taking both your heads as soon as I get the chance!)
Dioscuri - Castor
Ghh...!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Big Brother!
Dioscuri - Castor
This ends now! I already know exactly what to do to kill both humans and Heroic Spirits alike!
Choices
- ...!
- (He just looked my way!)
Musashi
Wha...!?
Mash
Senpai!!!
Dioscuri - Castor
Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Choices
- (He snuck up behind me!?)
- (He's got me by the head! I can't even move!)
Dioscuri - Castor
Nobody move!
...On second thought, I take that back.
Move, if you like.
Just know that if you do, I will use my light speed to rip his spine clean out through his neck! Haha!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Well done, Big Brother.
I'm so impressed that you keenly ascertained the enemy's key weakness even in the midst of this tumultuous battle.
I was looking for a chance to take his head myself, but the little Aegis girl was irritatingly consistent about protecting him.
Dioscuri - Castor
Hahahahaha, it was nothing, Little Sister. After all, this is far from my first time killing humans!
It's always the same with them. First they stupidly commit to fighting, then they die while trying to protect the weak.
Once you zero in on a target... there is nothing they can do against our light speed.
Dioscuri - Pollux
Big Brother, you're bleeding from your mouth...
Oh no! Please tell me you didn't use your Authority to move faster than light!?
Have you forgotten that we're now only Divine Spirits, not proper gods!? Making true use of our Authority could destroy our entire Spirit Core!
Dioscuri - Castor
...Heh.
A little blood is nothing to me⸻
Choices
- ...Getting pretty desperate, huh?
Dioscuri - Castor
!!!
- If you push yourself beyond your limits, you'll only make things worse for yourself.
Dioscuri - Pollux
!?
Dioscuri - Castor
How dare you!?
Let's see if you're still as mouthy after I've torn your head off!
Mash
Senpai!!!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Don't move!
Dioscuri - Castor
...Hold it. You just moved, didn't you?
Then it seems I'll need to give you a fitting punishment, shield girl!
Use that great shield of yours to cut off your own head, and I may just spare this man's life!
Choices
Choices
Dioscuri - Castor
......!
What...?
You... What was that, human?
That power I just felt...from your head... Was that...?
No. It couldn't be...
...the power to kill a god?
Dioscuri - Pollux
!
Dioscuri - Castor
You...
It was you!
That black light that killed Demeter and Aphrodite! The vile god-killing weapon that shouldn't exist!
You're its ammunition!
Damn you, Proper Human History!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Big Brother! Why did you let go of him!?
Musashi
Caenis!
Dioscuri - Castor
Gaaaaaah!
Dioscuri - Pollux
Big...Brother!
Mash
Senpai...!
Choices
Mash
Senpai is safe! The rest of you, please take it from here!
Caenis
...Take 'em down, twins.
Adele
Death to mine enemies! Hades!
Macarios
Let the blade of bravery shine forth! Athena!
Holmes
Are those special Mystic Codes...? No! They're using some form of magecraft!
Holmes
And since they were calling out the names of gods...they must be using Age of Gods magecraft that makes use of Divine Spirit power!
Olympus Twins
Rrraaaaaaaaah!
Dioscuri - Castor
Damn you, humaaaaaans!
Dioscuri - Pollux
What could you be hoping to achieve by allying yourselves with these revolting people from Proper Human History!?
Even if their help does enable your foolish rebellion against the gods to succeed...there will be nothing waiting for you afterwards!
Macarios
Even if that's true!
Adele
We're still not going to let this end here!
We refuse to let this be our final resting place!
Mash
...!
Macarios
No matter how many times we are made to submit to the gods' power, at least we can keep shouting “This isn't over yet!”
Adele
We may just be humans, not gods, but we can at least do that!
Macarios
Even if the heavens we seek are impossibly far away... we'll still never stop saying it!
Olympus Twins
This isn't over yet!
Dioscuri - Pollux
...Then I'll ask you this.
Tell me, alliance woman: Why do you not stop your brother?
Surely you both know where this path you're on leads?
Death.
Yes, death! From this point on, no matter what you do, you will die!
Either we gods will tear you to pieces... or you'll be destroyed along with this Lostbelt!
So then, why!?
Why do you two⸻
Adele
... ...
...Because both my brother and I believe...
...that a real tomorrow would be far better than an endless today.
Dioscuri - Castor
Heh... What a joke.
Now that Hades is gone, and there is no one left to ensure the souls of the dead find new lives, death is truly the end. Don't you see that!?
Macarios
Yeah... We see it.
Adele
But even so, I...
Macarios
We...
Olympus Twins
...want to finally see a tomorrow that's different than yesterday.
Dioscuri - Pollux
Ahh... Big...Brother...
Mash
...The two enemy Servants' magical energy is rapidly vanishing. They're about to disappear.
Choices
Holmes
The Dioscuri certainly had a tough Spirit Origin, but it seems our attacks finally reached their Divine Core.
Caligula
Behold what has transpired here.
You both said it was impossible, but it was none other than humans of Olympus who shattered your Divine Core.
Dioscuri - Castor
...So it would seem.
Very well then, humans, keep pushing your luck. Go ahead and forge your path to a future where only despair awaits!
And know that it will never be anything more than a single step⸻right into a dead end!
