What's happening?
We destroyed their plan!
The spell is still rewritten. There's no sign that it has been adjusted.
But...
What you see, all you've done, is futile.
What an honor. What an honor...
We who serve the God of Guidance may wander for millennia without being called!
I have seen a new creation, and the glorious task of playing the song of foretelling,
of summoning the divine power, has fallen to me,
Rofocale, the Invitation of Cheerful Playing!
He's going to summon the divine power now?
Wh-What did he see?
For naught?
Even its creator
should not be able to restore a thing of that size.
Soon, the Midnight Lost Child will replenish the Creator God's power.
Will he use it to redo everything at once?
No.
My plan for the Midnight Lost Child,
and my Strategist's breadth of mind, are far greater than that.
This Treasure interested the Seeker,
and after the battle with the Engaged Link,
he made two discoveries regarding it.
First was the secret of its functionality,
which overcomes loss and degradation,
and is symbolized by an eternally ticking clock.
Second was
the nature of the energy enabling compensation for the loss and degradation.
It is an elastic force, possessed by the warps that lost existence creates.
Or it is the world's power, attempting to recompense the loss.
In other words,
it is the great distortion in the world that the Denizens have caused.
When the professor learned this,
he devised a way to extract unlimited power from this distortion at midnight,
when the Lost Child's energy is replenished.
And thus,
I shall be able to use the energy
from thousands of years' worth of Denizen-created distortions,
once the divine power is invoked.
That is the true plan.
And what will you do with that massive power?
Everything.
Given my nature, as the Creator God,
I cannot create freely, unfettered by another's desires.
But now, I shall be able to create as I will. And solely by my will.
This is the plan of my Strategist,
the Judge of Paradoxes.
And it is the Grand Order's true aim,
the greatest deception in history.
Some way... There must be another way!
We cannot make it now.
Well, let it begin...
The creation of Xanadu, by the Grand Order Psalm!
By my will!
The time is upon us.
Let all with ears to hear, harken.
Shaher, God of Guidance, the Thunderous Chant of Awakening...
Come down to us!
The Festival of Creation.
We couldn't change it.
The Creator God is beginning to summon divine power!
Thunderous Chant...
This is...
Right now?
Impossible.
A mighty deed nears completion.
The God of Guidance?
It is great,
- but without protection, it will fail. - The Thunderous Chant of Awakening, Shaher!
- Simultaneous summonings of divine power now, of all times?
- A new light. - Simultaneous summonings of divine power now, of all times?
Though this new light has been created,
What?
- it will be buried. - Even my power can't block it out.
She's forcing me to listen.
- This is the God of Guidance's oracle? - Thus, the Thunderous Chant of Awakening,
We failed,
- but it seems the backup plan we devised outside the battlefield worked. - I say this in the name of the Thunderous Chant of Awakening.
Shall I rejoice? Or shall I curse my own weakness?
You aren't forced to obey the God of Guidance's words,
but you never forget them.
Now, let's have her advocate the no eating humans rule!
I-I'm sorry, Sophie-chan! Rebecca-chan...
No way to tell what will happen next... Damn it.
That which is formed by the Engaged Link, the product of their love,
What?
Wh-What's going on?
She isn't talking about preventing the Denizens from eating humans!
Gain new guises, and find it for yourselves...
- Why Pheles and Johann? - A new way of being.
Was there something in that form
that attracted the God of Guidance's attention?
With new hope, set forth on your journey to a new land.
With the heir to both worlds that you shall create.
The heir to both worlds?
Why does she speak of that now?
That which a certain Crimson Lord
attempted to create with her contractor.
You could say it is the half-breed of a human and a Denizen.
Is that even possible?
They tried, and it was stopped.
By myself and the former Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer.
Its creation
would have required an incredible quantity of power of existence.
They will have it,
the power of existence left behind when the Denizens depart for Xanadu.
There is plenty of power of existence over there, too.
I see... So that's it.
Seek.
Pheles... Johann...
You knew this...
No, you counted on it.
And you used that to create what you desired, indeed.
A new way of being.
A new...
Way of being?
Seek a new way of being.
"Dream of the God"
Interesting.
This is creation, as well. The creation of something truly new.
So the preparations for the Grand Order are complete?
Then let us go with new hearts.
Those minor changes will not stop my creation.
Now, my beloved Crimson Denizens...
Imagine, in your hearts,
the world you long for.
I shall gather and combine these.
And now, the door to Xanadu will open!
Let us meet again,
my priestess, born of wishes.
Let there be a ladder to heaven!
My beloved Crimson Denizens, put all your wishes into this moment.
It is done.
Wh-What?
Impossible.
It hasn't changed.
The alterations made by the Flame Hazes haven't changed!
Why?
Something inexplicable has occurred, my Strategist.
Master!
My beloved Crimson Denizens
had this thought, at the instant of creation.
That it was all right with them.
Perhaps it was the words of the Flame Hazes?
But even so, why would they desire a paradise without freedom?
Even if they did,
you should have easily been able to overcome it with your power.
Why? Why didn't you?
They all...
They all seemed somehow saddened.
What have you done?
Oh, I can't believe you... Honestly...
Ought I not to have done it, then?
No.
If that is your will, we shall not contest it.
I see.
Very well, then.
The new world hatches, my Strategist.
Yes. I shall wait at the palace.
So the new world,
Xanadu, has been created?
Fighting in all theaters has ceased.
May I withdraw the forces?
Yes. Keep a close eye out for the Four Gods.
Though I doubt they'll fight anymore.
Wanderer! Dashing Earthly Fiend Ribesal!
Master!
I order you to be first
to go to the new world.
Yes, Sir!
As planned,
Ball Masque will disband for now.
First, wander the new world as you will.
Yes.
What's wrong?
The Jäger, the Cup of Corrupting Indulgence Pirsoyn.
Oh, yes.
Ow.
Go.
You wouldn't want the nameless to arrive before you.
Yes! Let us go, Pirsoyn!
We can go...
We can go, right?
Yes. We can go!
We can go!
To Xanadu!
My task is complete.
Splendid work, Ball Masque!
You have fought with all you had.
And with those who died along the way, to open this path.
I ask this of you.
Head to the new world you have created with me,
my followers!
Yes, our master, Creator God, the Snake of the Festival!
Then, master, let us go, before anything else happens.
Yes. I hate to leave, but I shall obey you.
Split, Tartaros.
It has been truly entertaining,
a human who dared to use the gods for his own ends.
Is that a compliment?
Of course.
It pains me to leave you behind.
It's all right. I couldn't ask for more.
I'm impressed that you wouldn't turn to us for help,
when the most critical battle awaits.
Yuji Sakai,
was this the best outcome for you?
It's still just starting. But yes, mostly.
But I can't imagine you'll have any hope of winning.
Even so, I decided I would do this.
Here is the control key for the Tartaros being used on the city.
You can make good use of it.
Thank you.
I'll accompany you.
General?
It seems you have provided our master much entertainment.
The Grand Order is complete.
If you wish to do this, then do so.
Yes, Sir.
Behold...
Yuji Sakai,
I both enjoy and respect your strength of will.
But in the end, this is the god I am.
I shall forgive it.
For I am he who affirms all desires.
Though none else forgives you, I do.
My Strategist,
may I tell the Flame Hazes what the new world has become?
As you wish.
Rejoice, Flame Hazes.
Rejoice, Flame of the Heavens!
A law has been written into the new world,
that humans shall not be devoured.
Your wish, your battle...
It has been successful.
Rejoice, huh?
I guess it all worked out a little too well.
Whether I like it or not, the result is what we wanted.
Yeah.
Must be nice to be a god...
Gonna have to find a new place to entertain ourselves.
But if humans will be taken care of, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to go.
We won't have any work to do here.
That's a big thing. Miss...
This is as far as we go.
Watching people die isn't really our thing.
Bye.
Have a good journey.
Yeah, I'm done killing Denizens...
Looks like I did it.
God of Atonement, Flame of the Heavens...
I'm honored to have a new way to live.
As are we.
Oh, yeah. Kazumi Yoshida-san...
Specialist of Everything, I'm glad you are here.
Had you not protected them, they would all have died.
No.
Khamsin-san, don't die!
You and Behemoth-san protected this for me...
That which was more important to Pheles-san and Johann-san than anything.
Something so great, even the gods recognized it.
And you protected it...
Don't die...
Miss Kazumi Yoshida, if nothing else, don't forget.
Yes.
Yes!
Yeah, Steadfast Sharp Peak Behemoth,
you really are wonderful.
Indeed. I have a good contractor.
Yeah...
This isn't all bad.
If he went to a place, with no great task awaiting him,
someday the prince
in the old story might be able to talk to that beast...
Yes... I'm sure of it.
The two footsteps, they head toward the distant yonder
"Let's leave everything behind"
Fly toward the future
The motive has a strong grasp on my heart Yes, this is the ultimate descent
The two of us are fellow soldiers flattering one another's pulses
If you are going to protect your love, you cannot reject battle
Without fudging a phrase, we rhyme down this hot path
Passing each other by, quarreling
Set free from the enchantment
If you are going to leave on a journey,
I will never let go of your hand again
Do you still remember the first time
Our eyes locked, just as it happened?
Even if I am engulfed by the vortex of slumber,
It will not vanish, I won't let it... It's our dream
To be as ONE
When you placed your hands on your cheeks and laughed
I thought, "I want to protect you"
We took a roundabout path, huh? But I've realized
That I live just for you
Snow of light flutters down the sky
Where the waning moon and stars go to snuggle
The story we have written
Will continue on forever
The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer, Shana, and the Mystes Yuji Sakai.
After everything the two of them have been through,
what will they do now? And what will they leave behind?
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Opening from the Ending."
