Shattering Humanity-Chapter 466: A Seafoam Ocean Green SoulSeiõrShield
"Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!" This is the Lord’s declaration. "Therefore, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the shepherds who tend my people: You have scattered my flock, banished them, and have not attended to them. I am about to attend to you because of your evil acts"—this is the Lord’s declaration.
"I will gather the remnant of my flock from all the lands where I have banished them, and I will return them to their grazing land. They will become fruitful and numerous. I will raise up shepherds over them who will tend them. They will no longer be afraid or discouraged, nor will any be missing." This is the Lord’s declaration.

Itsuka: "What?
Princess Kawaii is a...?"
The Queen of Erinyes stares at the entrapped follower to one of the pink eyed women, inside his ’imprisonment’.
MamMon DæMon: "It seems all those with pink eyes must’ve been created through the fornication between the remaining Völvas. Seiõr smart, but intellectually ignorant, those witches refusing to learn from their past mistakes, and wasted their freedom given to them through Skalmönd’s sacrifice."
The feeling of active Seiõr makes nervous Jormy jump and spin to face the direction of the massive energy.
MamMon DæMon: "Speaking of a 2nd Generation..."
To the jittery Jormy’s luck, instead of the Seiõr coming from an enemy, it is Scylia sprinting in with Persephone’s rainbow SharedSoulSeiõrShield.
MamMon DæMon: "My sisters also have realized how valuable our unnaturally born cousins truly are, as well as those with blood eyes."
Piggybacking on the sprinters back is the source for the colorful SharedSoulSeiõrShield, Persephone.
Itsuka: "...’Blood Eyes’?"
Not too far behind the incoming pair, covered in the photosynthesized SharedSunSeiõrShield, is Sol riding the struggling runner, TayTay.
Dom is running side by side, cheering him on, trying to help keep his overweight pal going.
Dom: "We got beat, Tay!
We both have to get in better shape so next time, we won’t get embarrassed again!"
Scylia and her human backpack reach their allies first. Persephone hops off and surprised to realize her ’Aunt’ is also there.
Persephone: "A-Auntie MamMon?!
Why are you here!?"
Not answering her niece, the original generation DæMon turns her back towards the group and lifts her hood over her head.
MamMon DæMon: "That’s enough practice of sharing your Seiõr for today, Per Se Phōne.
Now that this pitiful attempt at a war is now over, let’s get back home."
From his sniper roost, Charybdis is watching the scene through his rifle’s scope.
Char: "Damn it.
Is she gonna take Persephone home?"
The lover boy leans away from his view. He smacks his forehead in disappointment of himself.
Char: "I thought I would get to see her again before she had to go back. I won’t get to say goodbye."
Back at the scene, the practicing 2nd Generation is at first hesitant. The slightly timid author looks at Scylia, and the fiancee to the leader of Takamagahara stares daggers at the woman in the Money Tree cloak.
The rainbow SharedSanguineSoulSeiõrShield fades from both her target, and the caster herself.
Once the other three Sanpaku protectors catch up to the party, Persephone takes a few steps towards her Seiõr teacher, but stops and turns to bow in thanks.
Persephone: "It was a pleasure to help you all today!
Please tell Charybdis I said ’goodbye’."
She turns back around and joins MamMon, but before they can walk away, Scylia breaks her silence.
Scylia: "Are you the woman who ruined my wedding day?!"
Not taking a step, nor responding, the Queen of Erinyes territory listens to the plea of a bride.
Scylia: "I’ve told myself, one day, I would find a man who would care about my future well-being and safety like Mr. Daisuki, because Charybdis will someday marry a woman he loves."
The mention of her current love interest getting married makes blushing Persephone turn around.
Speaking from her heart, the venting woman starts tearing up from her separate species optics.
Scylia: "And now, a day that I could have shared with another woman who found a family that wanted a future with her, it’s been ruined, and turned into a day of conflict and sorrow!"
Unable to hear the words, but with the animated body language coming from his older sister, Charybdis has a feeling he knows what she is trying to get through to the powerful woman.
Char: "She’s talking about the wedding she had planned for tomorrow, isn’t she?"
With a last desperate attempt to make sure her special day and the Holmgang don’t intermingle, Scylia takes a step towards the back turned witch.
Surprising to everyone in her own group, her symbiote already at its 2nd Stage keeping Shelly’s clones active, turns from purple to grey. Then her own SoulSeiõrShield, and the woman who was addicted to the beach, has an ocean seafoam green SoulSeiõr.
Scylia: "Fight me to settle this, here and now!"
Unknown to the elder sister, Charybdis’ is watching her with the same yellow eye as his only remaining member.
Charybdis: "Woah!
When did she learn how to do that?
...
Wait...why is she doing that?
What the Hell is she doing?!"
Not waiting to watch the answer, the worried younger brother hurries to get his rifle back in its covering, before running out of the apartment building and sprinting in the direction of the possible battle area.
Close by within the same neighborhood, under the protection of her SeiõrStar, the other wife-to-be who’s wedding day was put on the back burner, suddenly perks up from her SeiõrSense.
Zoram: "Scylia..."
On location, unrattled by the threat and declaration of confrontation, MamMon keeps her back turned while Persephone nervously looks between the two women she respects dearly.
On the other end, the usual contrarion of the group steps up and tries to defuse the possible hostile situation.
Sol: "Hey-Hey Scylia, we’ve managed to get through-
Your SoulSeiõr is freaking cute by the way.
But we managed to get through an invasion by the Vinland army.
Don’t you wanna go back home, rest, and take a bath?"
She looks over at the only other woman in the group to get some help in convincing Scylia to change her mind.
Sol: "Itsuka, a little help here?"
However, to her dismay, Itsuka stays silent while remembering the discussion she had with Scylia after her hospital freakout.
{Flashback}
Scylia: "When I was younger, around your age, I almost killed myself over a man who broke my heart."
Itsuka is shocked from the reveal and her open mouth quivers from being told such a personal secret.
Scylia: "He didn’t cheat on me, he didn’t hit me, or threaten me. We just became...’distant’. But not the type of ’distant’ in the way you and Saku seem to have to handle it.
He seemed to just stop caring more and more. Until one day, after I returned from a competition, he was gone, he left without a word and I was left heartbroken."
Itsuka swallows her spit and looks back down at the sweatshirt Katsu gave her, as a sign he would return with Saku.
Scylia: "So I swallowed a bottle of pills and sooner then later, I eventually blacked out. Luckily, Charybdis was there and called the ambulance just in time.
They said he was hysterically crying and preforming CPR on me when the paramedics arrived.
That’s when I realized, it’s not about who you love, it’s about who loves you and what you’re willing to do for that person.
What I’m trying to say is, it may seem like Saku is just being ignorant and abandoning you. Leaving you with his dog. But I’m positive he’s actually doing all this, so he can get an ability that can protect the two of you, forever.
You get what I’m saying, Love?"
{End Flashback}
Unable to intervene with the same woman who opened up to help her, Itsuka looks shamefully away in a grimace.
Sol looks at the heavily breathing Taylor, next to a confused and uncertain Dom who can only shrug.
To her saving grace, a voice comes from the challenged Scandinavian woman.
MamMon DæMon: "Before this SeiõrSnow began to fall around the world, I wouldn’t have sympathy, or rather empathy, towards your words.
However..."
To everyone’s surprise, the afterimage of the stationary DæMon fades.
Somehow, TayTay senses the danger before anyone else, and snatches Sol away, turning his back to the scene.
Even with symbiote aided reflexes, Scylia is barley able to get her arms up in time to ’block’ an incoming kick that sends the outmatched woman through the walls to one of the abandoned homes.
Inside the damaged home, only active for a short time, Scylia’s IceEye aura and SoulSeiõrShield fade, her yellow eye all white, indicating she has been one hit K.O.d.
The culprit, MamMon, lowers her foot slowly to the pavement.
MamMon DæMon: "However, this experience perfectly explains why all Valkyrie women need to be eradicated..."
Surprised Itsuka shoots a glare at her enemy before activating her own SoulSeiõrShield, but instead of attacking back, she uses it to rush faster into the house to help Scylia.
A shook Dom and Jormy are stone stuck in their spots. Unable to believe in themselves to compete with this beautiful monster.
Calmly walking away from the group, MamMon DæMon joins back with a visibly worried Persephone.
MamMon DæMon: "Come on, Per Se Phōne.
Before any other aspiring women warriors tempt fate."
Obeying her Aunt, Persephone takes a moment to look at the place her recent SharedSeior ride had flew, then disgruntly turns around and walks beside MamMon.
