"Then what about Coronzon herself as she enjoys this game of Mutual Destruction Old
Maid? Do you think there is a symbol of destruction that forms a pair with her?"
[...]
Coronzon could take everything in this world and set up a cross-counter of their weak
points to ensure mutual destruction. But what about Coronzon herself as she peered into
the toy box of the world and stuck her hands inside to set things up as she liked? Even if
they overturned the toy box, could they really find something with equal power to her that
would form a pair with her?
"..."
Kamijou Touma looked down at his right arm.
That arm was now incomplete and it lacked the hand that symbolized Imagine Breaker.
"No." Index shook her head. "That isn't what I mean, Touma. Even if you still had your
right hand's power, that is still something inside the toy box of the world. That does not
match Coronzon who is viewing it all from a step removed."
"This is sounding rather grim." First Princess Riméa sighed. "Then what about that
insolent word that we keep hearing lately: god? There were the Divine Mixtures, two
Magic Gods have been frequently spotted in Scotland, and I believe that one on the boy's
shoulder counts as well."
"That won't work." Index looked at the spiky-haired boy who reflexively tried to protect
his small understander with his nonexistent right hand and got his ear pulled on instead.
"The word demon contains a few different meanings: The dark side of the human mind,
a fallen angel, and a pagan god. I do not think the Magic Gods we have seen would form
a clean pair with Great Demon Coronzon. The Divine Mixtures rely on Egyptian and Greek
mythology, so they are out for the same reason. They would have some power, but not
enough for a direct conflict."
"Then what are we supposed to do?" carefully asked Third Princess Villian while glancing
over at her mother's equipment. "We can use Curtana to draw out the power of an angel
and guide everyone using that while inside British territory. But as disrespectful as it
might sound, that doesn't get any more powerful than an archangel. It isn't an absolute
good capable of matching an absolute evil."
[...]
"It is no use, human. Even if she had some way of reducing her original sin, Aleister is still
a human living in this world. That does not escape the toy box that Index mentioned. It
does not give us what we need."
Then.
Then what?
"I see. So that's it," said Aleister. "It has to be someone from outside the world. And not
just that, but someone who can wield miracles because they are void of original sin. In
that case, I only know of one candidate. Is that what this is about, Aiwass!?"
"No." The silver girl shook her head. "Given the situation, a direct clash between Holy
Guardian Angel Aiwass and Great Demon Coronzon would likely end in Coronzon's
victory. Although the avatar issue would play a role there. So that is not the point here.
Aiwass merely prepared the answer."
"Then who else is there?"
Aleister did not answer Kamijou’s question.
She had already found the answer, but something seemed to be holding her back.
Her face was twisted by anguish.
[...]
This was the final key.
This was the expendable that could annihilate Coronzon.
"That truly is an immaculate white light."
Queen Elizard frowned and looked down at Curtana Second in her own hands. She was
the queen protected by the United Kingdom's entire system, but she may have felt inferior
to that baby.
"Is that an innocent soul uncorrupted by original sin?"
"There is precedent. For example, it is said the Virgin Mary had her original sin removed
before the Last Judgment."
[...]
"It is only a possibility, but this soul was protected by Holy Guardian Angel Aiwass and
wandered within a different phase for more than a century. This is not a case of the sin
being removed. You could say that this soul belongs to somewhere other than this surface
world. Great Demon Coronzon escaped from the card table, so there is no being who can
form a pair with her. Except for this opposing factor here."
