Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 945: Heroine - : Stronger together [2/2]

It was only like yesterday that Aki cried for us to give her the soulgear {Blood Feast}. Back then, Aki was the one who lacked power; in just a short time, she has now surpassed me.

"What if I become nothing more than a burden? I am not like the rest of you! I am not a Descendant and am a first-generation Reaper. I cannot even progress without weapons made by humans! What if another woman better than me appears? What if Honey leaves me?!" I cried in tears.

My throat began to hurt from the strain of shouting. I didn't even care if anyone heard me. I closed off my link to Honey so he wouldn't notice. The unease I felt slowly grew as the days passed by. Unlike the rest of the Sirens, I had no power by myself. I needed weapons, and I couldn't even use them on my own.

Panting from exertion, I bore holes into Aki as I waited for her answer. Yet the woman didn't shout back, complain, or berate me. Instead, she pulled me into her embrace and patted my back.

"There, there, Bella. It's okay. You are okay. You are forgetting something."

Returning her hug, I leaned into my fellow Siren. Somehow, I felt healed just from her embrace. My exhaustion slowly disappeared the longer I spent in her arms.

"What would that be?"

"You are not the only one afraid."

I pushed her back, confused, "Huh? What do you mean?"

Aki smiled gently. "Bella, it hasn't been that long since I was the one begging you. Liv, Lilly, Robyn, Jo, Jas, everyone feels inadequate. There is not one among us who does not fear getting left behind. Still, do you really think our {Kindred} would abandon us?"

At her words, my eyes immediately turned toward the man I loved the most. He was in battle. His avatars were fighting against the Demonkin. While he fought with everything he had, it was evident that none of his attacks were getting through.

"That man. Our lover, our king, and our {Kindred}. Someone who would burn an entire continent if we asked. Do you really believe someone like him would abandon you? No, he would not. Even if we all turned to vegetables, he would love us all the same. You know that as well as I do."

My sister spoke so tenderly about the man we adored. Her gaze overflowed with affection. I knew that, much like me, this woman was enraptured by Limitless. Her words were correct. There was no way Honey would throw me away.

"I know that. But as our fights are getting more dangerous, I am weak. I cannot do anything on my own. And while I am a Summoner, my Champions are digital just how pathetic is that? I-I…"

Aki then placed her finger on my lips and pointed to our {Kindred}. I followed her and watched. Despite his savage and unrelenting attacks, his weapons could not hurt the Demonkin. Frustrated, he ended up shouting in anger.

"FUCK THIS CRAP! EXA! Give me one of the guns from the Ripsaws!"

'Huh? What did he mean? Even if Exa gave him a Bushmaster Mk 44 30mm autocannon, how could he even wield it? It wasn't a weapon for a human… No. He can. He might be the only one in the world who could.'

If it was weight, he had {Carry}. For recoil he had {Withstand}. {Perceive} would help him aim. {Listen} would take care of the deafening sounds. Ammunition problems could be managed with {Store}. {Eat} would give him the stamina needed to wield it.

'But even if it is possible, it isn't possible to use {Replicate}. Not unless he has a 30mm designed for humans. Only my {Fate} {Code} failed to help him,' I lamented.

"WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THAT! IF THERE ISN'T ANY THAT EXISTS THEN I WILL JUST CREATE ONE!" he roared.

At that moment, Aki wrapped my hands in hers.

"Bella, you do not have to worry about falling behind. If you do, the rest of the Sirens will carry you. Shujin's words before were true. While each of us may be weak alone, we are stronger together. We, your children, Hellsend, we all will fight with you."

"S-Stronger together?" I repeated.

"Yes, {Limitless} will continue to grow stronger the more we all evolve. So in a way, Limitless means the eight of us. Or rather, we are Limitless. While {Rewind} is not included, I am the only one who can upgrade {Limitless}."

Those were the words my Honey said before. Even when {Code} was the weakest of the {Fates}, he always said he needed it. That he needed me.

"{Code} is not useless, Bella. Even if we didn't have an agreement, I would have approached you just to get it."

A sudden surge of affection and warmth crashed into me. Like a drug, it lifted my mood and gave me butterflies. These sudden, erratic bursts of emotion were addictive. They would drive lesser women insane.

"HAHAHAHA! NOW WE'RE TALKING! MY PRECIOUS {KINDRED}, I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU! {FABRICATE}!"

With the mighty roar of my Honey, he threw away the weapons he had in his hands. He then grabbed an invisible handle. Within a span of a few moments, blue lines formed a transparent outline for an invisible object.

The lines followed paths like blueprints that traced complex patterns. Like building blocks, the objects fitted together. In a few minutes, the blueprint Limitless was holding solidified and came into existence.

"Is that an M2 Browning?" I gasped in disbelief!

"It is not; it only looks like one. Use {Imaging} on the ammunition. It seems Shujin once again created a {Kismet} that breaks common sense," Aki said with a faint chuckle.

I followed her advice and checked the weapon's firing chamber and ammo compartments. Using {Imaging} - X-Ray, I saw bullets way bigger than a .50 cal.

"Honey made a fucking M2 that fires 30mm bullets?"

With his wild bellows, Honey's 30mm M2 Browning began shredding Number 1. If that was not enough, he unsummoned all his avatars and stomped his foot into the ground.

"LET'S GO ALL OUT, SHALL WE! [HEAVY GUNNER]! [ARSENAL]! [SHOCK AND AWE]!"

Changing disciplines, Honey replicated his monstrosity of a gun and created a dozen 30mm M2 Brownings from soul. With a gigantic grin on his face, he pressed the triggers of his contraption.

"HERE! EAT IT ALL, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!"

All thirteen of his 30mm cannons began blasting Number 1 with standard rounds. Needless to say, the outcome was even worse than when the actual Ripsaws shot the demonkin.

Aki then patted me on my shoulder.

"Bella, you are you. You do not need to become like us, just like we cannot become like you. Shujin loves us as we are. Who cares if you can only fight with human-made weapons? What matters is what Shujin showed today. These weapons can kill demonkin.

"Much like I only grew powerful from taking the Slayers' soulgear, you must accept what you are. We need each other. The only reason the rest of us grew powerful was because we drew on each other's strengths."

At my sister's words, I nodded in understanding. Just as you cannot fault a necromancer for using corpses, I needed to accept that I could never be like the others.

Just like Limitless, he didn't try to fight like the rest of us. He instead fought in the way that he knew how. By creating {Kismet} that broke common sense.

Feeling like I was being stupid, I slapped both my cheeks with my hands. The pain jolted me awake. I then hugged Aki without any pretenses. For the first time, this woman truly felt like my sister.

"Thank you for this, Aki. from today on, we are united by blood. Exa, send me the details for {Fabricate}."
