Everything lasted almost a minute, full of turbulence, and the white sun was completely cracked, seeming like it would explode at any moment. But then, suddenly, everything became calm. Inside, a soul radiating a divine presence stabilized.

The elven heroine focused her vision ahead and saw the robot still standing, and an incredulous smile sprouted on her spiritual form. "You stayed? Now, I've become one with the sacred sword, and I'll die soon. But I'll kill everyone before that."

The chimeric robot remained silent and without any reaction.

She ignored it and looked at what was left of the white sun around, managing to see the thousands of destroyed robots in the distance through the giant cracks. They still attacked the orbs desperately, and the sounds of continuous shots echoed tirelessly.

"You trapped me here, thinking you could buy time for them?" the elven heroine spoke again.

Then, the robot showed a reaction, and its robotic words resonated. "Hmm? Trapped?" A metallic and ridiculous laughter could be heard. "This barrier was only to protect the people outside." Then another sinister, villainous laughter echoed. Both Zane and Gael were laughing.

The elf couldn't comprehend those words. At that moment, she saw a small point light up in the center of the robot as a soul gem detached from the metallic frame. Suddenly, her entire soul began to tremble.

The robot's sinister laughter subsided, and it said, "You turned yourself into a spirit? Quite courageous. Not even the damn queen would be that stupid. Too bad, though. Transforming yourself into a soul... was the greatest mistake of your life."

The elf then saw two shadows slowly condensing. The elf's eyes trembled before those entities while her soul immediately felt all their supernatural divinity. They were like life and death, the celestial and the abyssal, the sacred and the demonic. Everything was materialized before her eyes. One was white and pure. The other was black and nefarious.

Suddenly, a Soul Attack that far surpassed anything the elf could muster assaulted her own soul. She tried to defend herself with the runes of the queen, but it didn't help at all. Even the power of the queen's runes was completely useless against Zane and Gael's Soul Power.

Following that, all the golden runes around her soul trembled; below them, cracks covered the entire spirit within seconds.

"Do you understand now? You even had a chance to kill me before I knew your weapons. But the queen's bitches always think they're superior and lose rationality easily." Zane then made a motion, and that poor mortal soul began to turn into dust slowly.

During this time, the heroine's connection with the orbs was broken, and the defensive commands loosened. Immediately, the orbs began to explode easily with a single shot from the robot army outside.

The elf's soul was almost fading away, but there was no pain or screams. Her existence was being completely destroyed forever, and a destroyed soul would never return or reincarnate. It was when only the head of the elf's soul remained, and it was about to disappear, that Gael intervened.

'She was being controlled by the queen like everyone else. There's no need to be so cruel.' Zane then retorted, 'There is no way to remove the queen's control without damaging the soul too much; she won't be able to fully recover in this state. It's better to end this quickly.'

Gael understood this well but refused to do something of that level. Then he had an idea, and he turned and grabbed the soul gem they were using. Maybe this soul gem can create a new miracle. He injected a large amount of Yang laws into it and threw it toward that small remnant of a soul. Quickly, the gem sucked the soul inside.

There is a need to explain a little of what happened.

First, back in Zane and Gael's Universe, the hero didn't sacrifice himself to merge with the runes, becoming something like a sacred sword. Instead, he was more cruel and sacrificed a companion controlled by the queen, merging the runes into his soul.

Here in this Universe, however, the heroine sacrificed her own soul. Zane and Gael had their robotic body quite damaged after sacrificing ten soul gems in that attack. Because of that, Rehvka was the only one left capable of directly fighting the elf.

Of course, they also prepared other cards to fight alongside Rehvka if necessary. They had a robotic body, so even though it was already highly damaged, they didn't need to care if it got damaged even further. All they needed to do was to concentrate their forces on protecting Rehvka, while her Yin Laws were the most effective for attacking. The elf was also badly injured, so Rehvka should have had the advantage. Meanwhile, the robot army would keep destroying the orbs that gave the elf her powers outside.

However, after the elf transformed into just a soul, all the plans became meaningless. The elf could only use soul-based attacks from there onwards, even though they carried Qi and Laws. Yet, in a competition of Soul Power, she simply didn't stand a chance against Zane and Gael's Divine Soul that reached the peak of their Universe's Laws.

She was too far from the level of the hero of their Universe, and they killed that hero, too. In a certain way, that was quite an anticlimactic ending for the elf. She brought her own destruction the moment she became a soul. Even the queen's power could do nothing against it.

Following that, with the elf defeated, the robots quickly finished destroying all the orbs.

Millions were attacking about four thousand that remained, and without the elf to control them, it lasted only a few seconds. All the runes inside the sun exploded without energy afterward. Then, Gael withdrew the protection, and everything fell silent.

The robots were ecstatic and cheered, celebrating the victory. A few seconds later, some observed from afar those two souls linked by a cord, standing where the god robot should be.

[Congratulations, main mission accomplished.]

Zane and Gael read the message on the green screen in front of them and sighed in relief. It was then that they felt a fluctuation approaching and turned around. Rehvka was running toward them; only now did they notice that everyone was looking at their true soul form.

She arrived with a tense look in front of them, already seeming to understand that this was farewell, and spoke. "Master was actually two masters..."

Gael then spoke. "Yes and no. We are one, but due to certain circumstances, we are divided. Anyway, I am Gael, and he is Zane."

She nodded thoughtfully. At that moment, Zane and Gael realized that only they could see the bright celestial runes around them. Dozens of them, which soon multiplied into hundreds and then into thousands.

Zane then turned, giving his final words. "We've already given you everything you need, but you should take this too." Zane moved the soul gem where the elf's soul fragment was placed.

"Try to make life in this Universe blend with the robots so they can prevent the queen's advance in the future. This gem, over time, might restore the elf's consciousness, but it will be something very primitive and flawed. I would throw it away... but your other master is too soft."

She smiled. "Master is so mean... and nice..."

Zane trembled strangely, and she noticed that change, finding everything funnier. Then she replied, "I'll take care of her and the rest. In the future, I'll find you again, and we'll hunt the queen together."

"Do your best." Gael gave his final words, and then they vanished in front of her eyes, leaving her unable to comprehend how.

Rehvka clenched her fists tightly, reinforcing her determination even more. The robots were standing from afar but managed to hear their conversation well.

It wasn't necessary to have heard; they instinctively knew that those two entities were the god robot that guided them. But their final words and the image of the 'Celestial God Robot' never left their memories.

To Zane's dismay, the religion of the god robot spread throughout that Universe in no time. Rehvka helped spread the epic tale of the god, who came in the form of a vacuum cleaner robot. How he saved everyone from the golden evil... this helped create a strong aversion to the queen's interference for a long time.

After fulfilling her masters' orders, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to her cultivation. Now, she had a new pupil. It was a soul whose origin she knew well and who awakened in the gem once used by her master.

Rehvka harbored no grudges and cared for this damaged soul with utmost care. Surprisingly, the soul slowly recovered thanks to the Yang rune left by Gael and the capabilities of the soul gem. Memories of the past life never returned, which was the best scenario. Soon, they became inseparable.
