Re:Periodic : Deceiving Life in Another World From Zero

{45}- Methods of Elimination | The Start of the Invasion

"That is indeed an interesting question, Y/N. In my opinion, the more 'hands' one possesses might be the deciding factor, but-"

"Argh! I hate her! I hate her I hate her! How could she harm people like this in this gruesome manner! Unacceptable!" Minerva shouted as she stomped the floor, and I turned towards Echidna with a confused look.

"Minerva is mad that this generation's Wrath is using her power to harm people, which kinda goes against her whole doctrine. And as a result- you get this."

"Well, I think I have to go. And Minerva, don't worry, I'll stop Sirius from harming more people in this loop."

I exited the Castle of Dreams, and waved goodbye to the Witches of Sin as I returned to the real world.

***********************************************

I woke up in the exact same spot that I started in, somehow still standing with Rachins and Subaru, who once again had a look of horror on his face.

"Y/N... I looped again."

"Heh? How did you loop again? Wasn't I just here before?"

"You... uh... you fainted in the last loop or something. Anyways, the point is, you fell unconscious and I tried again on my own. I went to the clocktower to try and save the kid, but apparently, he was so scared of Sirius that when she used her authority on me, my mind broke and I kinda just died."

"Sigh... I guess I didn't have time to tell you her full ability yet, did I?"

"So you know now?"

"In short, her Authority of Wrath allows her to connect people's emotions and feelings, which includes pain and other physical links as well. If one feels happy, everyone feels happy. If one feels angry, everyone feels angry. Likewise, if somebody gets beheaded, everyone gets beheaded."

"So we need to take care of the problem at its root. We should call Reinhard."

"Reinhard won't work. Sirius can also apply her Authority on herself, and if she dies, everyone dies as well."

"Ugh, dammit!" Subaru stomped the ground furiously. "Is there anything that might work on her?"

"How many minutes do we have left?" I asked Subaru with urgency as I thought of a way to decrease a loop.

"Around 10, why?"

"I'll go pick up Beatrice and Emilia. They should have an idea on what to do. Go to the square with Rachins for now. I'll be there soon."

As Subaru nodded in confirmation, I leapt off towards the park where Emilia and Beatrice should've been. I trust Subaru to relay the information to Rachins and fill him in on what happened so he could run away and get help.

Activating Ul Akra and the White Whale's seal, I flew into the park where the two girls I was looking for, and they were surprised by my appearance.

"Y/N!" Emilia yelped as I landed with a giant thud. "What's the matter? Is there an emergency?"

"Yup. You and Beatrice need to come immediately. Subaru's going to be in trouble because a Sin Archbishop is going to show up soon."

"A Sin Archbishop?" Emilia gasped. "The Witch Cult is going to attack here?"

"I don't know for sure, but Subaru needs us. Come on, let's go." Beatrice nodded in understanding as I used Murak on all three of us, and we leapt from building to building as we arrived at the square around 5 minutes later.

"Y/N! We still have around 3 minutes until she appears." Subaru said as he greeted me from this side of the square. "What do you think we should do?"
