Eva moved forward at a leisurely pace, her eyes trembling, her mouth slightly open.
"...ora... Dora... There is a Dora..."
Next to Elizabeth, Dora grimaced briefly.
"The worst part is that it makes universal sense."
"Don’t you think the worst part is that it’s a girl’s na?"
Eva could no longer contain her emotions, she elegantly ran towards Dora, like a young woman who had found her lover after years, at least that was what Midgard saw.
"No, that’s not happening."
She stepped between them, protecting her precious treasure, forcing Eva out of her dream.
"Wh-what?"
"Enough with the treasure hunt of perfect man, this boy has a matriculation on his forehead and it’s mid-001. Get yourself another Dora."
"That makes awful sense, too."
Eva looked at Midgard as if she had seen a ghost, exactly what was happening in a sense.
"Mid? You... You’re Midgard? Midgard Serpent? The deceased player??? How... oh, hey Apophis."
Apophis closed a book and waved her hand disinterestedly.
"Hey, ally of my murderer."
Eva shook her hand happily, then her eyes widened again.
"...Apo...Apophis?! What...You...What’s going on here?! This isn’t the afterlife!"
A little later, Eva was sitting with everyone nearby, trying to deal with the situation.
"So basically we’re in the world of the dead, we’re all dead but sohow we’re still in our sa world? The world who’s dood?"
She glanced at Dora who nodded, then bit her nails.
"It’s never easy... I thought my prayers had been answered and I had arrived in the world of origin with all my mories, what a disappointnt."
"I was sure you were planning to die and co here, quite surprising you’re as ignorant as we are."
Eva crossed her arms, hand on her chin.
"It was at most a gamble, I still have to understand the way the Will of the world thinks... But if I was sent here, it ans there is still sothing to be done."
She stood up, facing the group.
"We must hurry, your alter ego will initiate the end of this world, we must wake the True Dora before he reaches the invader."
Everyone turned to Dora, the latter as distraught as they were, shaking his head.
"I would like to, but I don’t know how. There are 3 people in my head and none of them are the one we’re looking for."
"You are wrong, believe , every Dora is a real Dora, but the True Dora is the one who rembers the truth of this world. Listen... Everyone."
A hand on her chest, she lowered her head.
"You share her mory, so I won’t have to explain everything to you from the beginning. I trust you as the real Dora of this world, so I need you to listen carefully to everything I’m planning, the Real Dora can only be reached through the mind and it is you who must arrive at the conclusion."
Everyone leaned on their desks to witness the biggest story of their world.
"First, we need the mind of those who hold the truth from another world, so I need you to summon so of the Players from this world."
"...It’s sothing we could do, but the place will be crumbled."
"Don’t worry, it won’t be too much. Midgard, you have a mory of so of them, you should find them more easily."
Midgard rolled her eyes, then looked at Elizabeth who was massaging her fists with a smile.
"I don’t know what’s on your mind but you’re on your own. Who do you want to see?"
"Hecate, Fenrir, Charybdis, Ymir."
"Damn!" Elizabeth groaned.
"...Oh, and Fafnir."
"YEAH!!!"
As Elizabeth smashed her fist on the desk, Midgard looked at Eva, Dora noticed a smirk on Apophis’ lips.
"Ah? This is getting interesting..."
"Hm? Who are they exactly? Hecate and Fenrir sound familiar."
Midgard’s eyes glowed as she used their power to locate the Players ntioned.
"The lucky numbers that found a Sin Avatar."
In Fenrir, the situation was becoming critical. The Personas looked at the palms of their hands and their bodies without noticing a single change.
"Hm? I thought we were Beta-ized? What happened?" Sigma scratched his chin.
Dora raised his eyebrows, a mocking smile on his lips.
"It’s easier to give you full control, it improves your creativity, so of you might find a way to deal with Pride, and our future adversaries will be reluctant to fight you if you act like old friends."
Gamma frowned, they were all perfectly fine, even Beta’s eyes perked up and he looked curiously at his surroundings.
"So...you didn’t do anything?"
"No, Alpha, I did sothing, sothing better than turning you into puppets. Gamma, kill Marie."
Marie jumped in surprise, what kind of disaster was happening?
The Personas have already expressed their opposition to their leader so his request would however be a declaration of war...
"Hm? Because it would be too hard for you? Tch, whatever..."
Gamma turned to Marie and opened his hand in front of her face.
"Ah... Uh?"
His hands glowed red, the girl’s eyes widened as her ntor was about to execute her without hesitation.
She looked left and right, but none of the other Personas gave her a gaze, only Zury showed deep concern, it was now obvious that sothing had changed.
"Stop, it’s okay now."
"...Hm? What?"
Gamma lowered his hand, glaring at Dora who seed satisfied.
"It was just a test, now I know I made the right decision. You are still the sa, but with a factory reset of all your mory after we first woke up. You rember everything up until the death of our mother and your mind is focused on rushing to the only solution we have. Now I can truly count on you to wreck this world."
The Personas looked at each other, mostly with disinterest. It wasn’t that they didn’t care about being manipulated, but their minds were filled with the desire to save the world by destroying it and to get revenge on Gloria. Nothing else mattered.
"Wait, what?! What is this about ? This isn’t what we agreed on!" Zury snapped.
Her eyes twitched, she stepped forward and grabbed Alpha and Sigma’s hands.
"You still rember , don’t you??? They rember , don’t they?? We’re on the sa team, so they should rember ! You... Why are you smiling like that?"
Dora placed a hand on his forehead, trying to suppress a laugh.
"No, Zury, no one rembers you. Well, I rember you, but they don’t, not with this appearance at least."
"...No...No, you’re lying...Y...Alpha?...Sigma...Beta???"
The Personas looked at her from head to toe, trying to figure sothing out without success. She let go of their hands, her face washed with devastation.
"...Impossible...It’s a lie, it can’t be true...Alpha, Alpha please...Anyone..."
"...This... This woman is Zury?" Alpha whispered.
Zury fell to her knees, her vision blurring, her brain struggling to function properly.
She stamred inaudible words, her breathing increasing, tears falling to the floor.
"...gim.... GIVE THEM BACK TO !!!" She jumped at Dora, grabbing him by the throat.
"Give them back!!! I did what you wanted! I helped you! So give them back!!!"
Her hands were exerting a lot of pressure, but Dora seed completely unaffected.
"Oh, Zury... Why are you angry? We had an agreent and we both fulfilled our part."
He gently grabbed her hands and released it effortlessly.
"You ca to after what you did to your father and your servants, you wanted to follow , didn’t you? Didn’t I tell you that I was not the Dora that you wanted to see? Didn’t you agree to serve as my tool until I no longer needed you? Rember, I was the one who gave you a Persona, as a reward for your service? It was never noticed in our contract that you would keep him."
Her eyes blinded by the darkness, she slowly got back on her knees, Dora holding her hands.
"You don’t have to thank or hate , it was just a good deal, until our plan succeeded. But now there is a problem. Our goal has changed, I don’t just want to kill all the Sin Avatars, I must destroy the world with all living beings, which ans, you included. This ans that our previous contract can no longer be respected, so I must end it. However, be sure that you will be rewarded when we succeed, with as many Doras as you want... See, I’ll even give you a chance to decide your own fate."
He let go of her, Zury’s face turning to the ground, she could see the Personas shoes around her. Dora leaned forward, whispering in her ears.
"You have 2 choices, You honor our new contract and let kill you now, or you refuse to apply, and I send you anywhere in the world, to a safe place of course, you will die in the course of our action but at least you will oppose ."
He stood up, with a big smile on his lips, far too satisfied.
None of the Personas cared for this scene, recalling Zury’s will to fight. She just lowered her head, completely broken.
"Hm... It will be difficult if you don’t decide... It’s for your own good, I’m giving you a chance to go to heaven now."
But Zury stopped reacting to everything, Dora clapped his hands and turned to Marie.
"Since you can’t decide, third choice then. You will follow everyone to the grand final... Sigma."
He clenched his fist, gathering an imnse amount of energy. Marie was trembling all over, she tried to move, but her body refused to obey.
Sigma transford into a shadow and lted with the ground, slipping into her shadow.
"Gh..."
A shiver ran through her body, her eyes glowed orange.
She watched as her body shook violently, then to her surprise, her hand opened without her initiating the act.
"We’re a little short on ti, so you’ll have to go with the flow."
Dora’s hand opened, with the glow of a yellow stone on his hand.
Marie was petrified, just in mind, her body took hold of the object and began to assimilate it without her will. Energy flowed everywhere, penetrating her body in abundance.
She started to lose sight, but too late to avoid the last vision of horror Dora had for her.
The giant red pentagram turned green and unleashed a gigantic form, spreading, covering the base on every side and even beyond, a form terrifyingly recognizable: tentacles.
"Let’s proceed to the end of the world."
