No retreat!
The situation isn't good.
Maybe you should see to your withdrawal?
You need not worry about me.
We have not seen anything yet.
I see.
Is something wrong?
Nothing.
It's just that I feel something strange coming from in there.
From inside?
Or to put it better, from the other side.
Could the God of Creation, the Serpent of the Ritual, be coming back?
It's certainly possible.
Ah, I feel bad about breaking these works of art.
They're but a flash from a dream of the outside world the God had.
He shall not bear a grudge if they are destroyed.
Ah, that was close.
It only takes one hit to kill us.
We must be careful.
Ah, but...
Yes, we're ready.
Ritual Dress.
Light Qadesh's Signs.
Activate.
Form unrestricted spell: Qadesh's Veins.
Deploy.
Synchronize with Qadesh's Veins.
What is this?
Ah, however.
Yes, it's probably ineffective.
So you've pieced off that much from me in the course of the battle.
But you'll never be able to corner me.
Ah, he already regained some of the materials I worked hard to gather.
Yes, if we continue to fight, he'll break this apart.
We have no choice but to accept the nature of the situation.
Having great power doesn't change anything.
I simply go through life, accept missions, and kill targets.
I am capable of defeating everything.
I never worked for this.
This simply is the power I possess.
This isn't good.
Begone.
Khamsin Nbh'w!
Eyes front!
I don't understand.
Why do people obsess over power so much?
To The Rift, From The Rift
Shana, it's not too late for you to join my side and walk alongside me toward my ambition.
What do you say?
Back at you.
You should cut ties with Bal Masqué and help me.
Of course I can't do that!
That's right.
I can't.
I absolutely can't.
I've explained everything to Sakai Yuuji without hiding anything.
He accepted my offer, knowing what will happen when my ambition is realized.
He made his decision with the wish to free the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter from her life of battle...
...and the hope to protect his family and friends.
He chose to stand with us, Bal Masqué.
I will not allow you to speak of his decision lightly.
Bel Peol, what effect will my resurrection have on the outside?
Professor, you can access the Conloquium from here, can you not?
Of Course!
By doing so, we can tell what's happening outside while we're still inside here!
That's what this fruit of science, Excellent 252546642, allows us to do!
Actually, it is 90% meant to collect other data.
Now!
Detection mode!
I feel it...
I feel it!
He's lighting up.
It's excellent.
It's the quake everything in the world will fear!
The contraction caused by the destruction of the large construct in the rift!
None have ever seen it!
None have ever heard it!
An Armageddon no one has ever even imagined!
And I shall call this disaster:
Cradle Quake!
What is this?
Has the God of Creation really been resurrected?
Cradle Quake?
It's a quake that shakes the world itself, though only those sensitive to power of existence can feel it.
It's only a small piece of what I want to achieve.
What is this about?
I don't know, but whatever it is, it's not good for us.
No kidding. It's time to get out of here.
Where's Chiara?
What's going on?
It doesn't quite feel like an earthquake.
Maybe it's an unexpected spell from the enemy.
No, that's not it.
They're surprised, too.
Mammon!
Is this what the Major was telling us about?
The catastrophe to meet with trepidation, yet also with joy?
This quake is caused by our Commander, the Serpent of the Ritual!
We will break through the enemy line!
All men, charge!
Ah, we must simply fight to the death.
With no way to counter him, we must wait for the situation to change ~de arimasu.
Until then, it's a tightrope walk of death.
What's the point of continuing a fight that has already been decided?
Why do you fight?
Why does everyone...
You said you'll defeat me and make me listen, did you not?
Alastor.
Doesn't it bother you that she used your legendary power as a tool to threaten me with?
You guys wouldn't know this, but when she formed the contract to be the Flame-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter, she said this:
"The great cause that Flame Haze follow which brings them to battle Guze no Tomogara: To protect the world's balance."
"I'll view it myself and determine if it's true."
"No matter how much everyone loves me..."
"No matter how much I love everyone..."
"If I cannot agree with the great cause, I cannot follow it."
The same girl challenged you, has seen the goal of your ambition, and chose to walk her path.
What is there for me to be dissatisfied with?
This girl...
This girl is my prized contractor who will walk the difficult path which everyone else avoids.
She's magnificent.
Besides, "destruction" isn't only about protecting the world from disarray,
but also being the law of the world and passing judgement.
Therefore, I will see what you do with this magnificent one and decide the path we must take.
Very well.
Then we will continue on our path.
When we return to the other side, you shall hear the declaration of my ambition.
So that's the Commander of Bal Masqué?
The God of Creation, the Serpent of the Ritual?
That's the Serpent of the Ritual?
A true God born of Guze.
Activate!
Deploy Qadesh's Veins.
Connect.
Release Qadesh's Veins!
This is it!
It's big...
It's great.
Is this it for me?
They got you badly.
I'm sorry, but remain in that state until we return.
Don't bother with me.
What?
Right now...
Destructive Blade?
Right now, I want to view this a while longer.
It's big.
So big that no one can stand before it.
An overwhelming power.
So this is what fear is.
The feeling you had for me.
The reason you left me.
I am simply so...
I am simply so jealous of what you have.
Everything I have seems so small and trivial.
So I made you suffer with a feeling like this.
None can be together when a feeling like this exists between them.
But now, I've learned it.
I've learned there's something in this world so great that I have no chance against it.
From his perspective, both you and I are trivial.
So smile.
My beloved butterfly...
The Destructive Blade, Sabrac, is gone.
I see.
Did we get through it?
We managed to keep our lives.
But it's still too early to relax ~de arimasu.
Do or die.
Ah, yes.
At this point...
...we think of nothing else but the fight.
Give the signal, Bel Peol.
Things that fall apart.
Things that leave us.
It happens despite our feelings for them, but we hurry onward.
The child departs on a journey.
Get off!
Shana!
Yuuji!
It doesn't seem we have any time to waste, Takemikazuchi.
I won't stop you, Sophie Sawallisch.
Are you...
A-Are you really going to do it?
Yes, I will destroy the God Gate.
Can we?
We must.
Now that the God of Creation is awakening,
the chances that those who entered survived are low.
No one pities them, and it matters not if it means being guilty of a crime.
To us, who become nothingness without leaving any trace of our existence,
let there be victory if nothing else.
Amen, hallelujah for me.
I will defeat you.
If the God of Creation gets in my way, then I will subdue him along with you.
I will find my path with you.
Shana.
If you think that's still possible after my declaration, then come challenge me again.
However, for today...
It's time.
Chigusa told me...
A full mouth-to-mouth kiss is an oath.
S-Shana?
That was an oath I made with Yuuji.
There's no way you can do it.
It's not can or can't.
I will do it.
That's why it's an oath.
The time has come.
I have returned!
This isn't the bell that tolls for the end.
It's the roar that heralds the next battle.
With the return of the Serpent of the Ritual, the final stage of the ambition is declared.
The Flame Haze army has no choice but to retreat.
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Final:
Declaration of Ambition
Declaration of Ambition.
