Chapter 47 - Conclusion of the Battle
Revis realized something was strange with Bell's armor because her attack should have cut deeply. Instead, only a thin metal sheet peeled off the armor after the strike while Bell was completely uninjured. This was an obvious game-changer, as he could afford to use suicidal attacks that completely open himself up. At the same time, the loud bell chiming sound was some type of energy collection that energized an attack with speed and strength far exceeding his skill level. Realizing that she cannot win, Revis used an incredibly-fast maneuver to escape from the battle. She needed to buy time for Enyo to win as it was clear that Enyo was winning. Furthermore, her regeneration needed a lot more time to be useful...
Bell and Ais chased using Ariel, but they were barely gaining on Revis. Realizing that they would not be able to catch Revis quickly enough, Bell's stopped his argonaut charging. He must catch up in order to use an argonaut attack with the Hestia knife. Launching an argonaut firebolt would be far easier, but did not make sense because of Revis' magic resistance. Bell knew he only had one chance because he would likely collapse after using argonaut a second time...
Ais also noticed Revis' relatively-slow regeneration. As if an enemy at level 11 or higher was not bad enough, the additional regeneration ability made her virtually invincible. They needed to have a big numbers advantage, the armor advantage, Hestia's surveillance, and Finn's planning to have a chance. Thus, she knew that Revis could not be allowed to escape. Wiene was flying as fast as she could. She knew Revis is an incredible threat to everyone she cared about and were all so kind to her. She would do everything in her power to destroy this enemy.
Meanwhile, Enyo just sent Lyd and Gros to the timeless dimension. With the disruptions, Njord had been able to fight off the wiggly energy ribbons, but the disruptions have been terminated. As the battle continued between the divine powers, Enyo had Njord on the ropes again. Njord could barely blast away Enyo's hundreds of energy ribbons, which had him completely surrounded. Having seen the results of the energy drain on Gros and Lyd, Njord knew what was waiting for him...
At the same time, Mikoto watched the divine powers battle, but it was obvious Njord was losing. Mikoto had to sadly watched when Enyo made Lyd and Gros disappear, but she knew she had to maintain her tactical surprise by safeguarding her invisibility. All she could do is keep rechanting futsunomitama and hope that she gets a chance to make a difference.
After several more minutes of the cat and mouse, the energy strands finally caught Njord. While Njord struggling to get free, Enyo launched a bubble at him. At that point, Mikoto realized this was her last chance and finished chanting her spell. As Enyo started to launch the bubble, Mikoto activated futsunomitama to try to capture Enyo while Enyo was launching her bubble, hoping for a miracle.
The interaction of futsunomitama and the bubble caused a massive explosion. Furthermore, the explosion was very unusual - instead of just exploding, the explosion quickly imploded on itself. This caused a tiny dark black sphere to appear between Enyo and Njord. In an instant, both Enyo and Njord were sucked into the black sphere. The black sphere was not done and started to suck everything else around it inside including fences, trees, windows,... Mikoto was desperately clinging to a building but eventually was also sucked towards the black sphere. Fortunately as quickly as the sphere appeared, it disappeared, leaving Mikoto unconscious on the ground.
From heaven, Hestia was watching the battle and realized she just witnessed a miracle. The interaction of the time bubble trap interacted with futsunomitama and apparently caused a temporary portal into the timeless dimension. She decided to confirm what happened in the timeless dimension. After some checking, she was able to detect that both Enyo and Njord were also trapped there. As expected, Lyd and Gros were also there. If she only had a way to free everyone from the timeless dimension, all the gods can then gang together and defeat Enyo. Though there would be still some concern about Thanatos also being set free.
Even with the chase going on, Revis heard and saw the explosion and implosion. She knew there was some massive collision of divine powers. Revis assumed that Enyo may have won because Enyo had the upper hand. However, Revis suddenly collapsed and fell onto the ground.
Bell and Ais were both aware of the explosion and implosion. They had a bad feeling that was Njord losing, but they had no choice but kept chasing and fighting. When they saw Revis collapse, they slowed down and were prepared for some type of trick.
While Bell and Ais slowed down, Wiene did not. She knew it could be a trick, but she did not care. She was going to protect Bell, Ais and everyone who were so kind to her. She went full force and dug both talons into Revis. Both talons punctured through Revis before both lightning charges exploded, sending Revis' body flying into a tree.
Realizing this is not a trick, Ais and Bell ran towards Revis. She was unconscious and bleeding badly. Not sure whether Revis was dead, Ais set up to take a kill shot. Bell yelled for Ais to stop, and she listened. Revis was clearly defeated but there was no explanation for why she collapsed. Bell just could not kill in cold blood, and Revis may have answers they needed to free the captured gods. However, what do they do with the unconscious Revis who was bleeding profusely. Ropes could not possibly hold her. They could not take a chance with the fate of the surface world at stake, so they had to make a decision quickly.
While they were trying to decide, Hestia screamed "Bell, hold on to her. Then I would be able to beam you and Revis to the moon! It will be an one-way trip for her though"
Bell and Ais quickly agreed. Thus, the unconscious Revis have become the captive of Hestia and her attendants on the moon...
Everyone at the mountain hideout had been listening to the communications. They suddenly realized that they may have won!
