We then have a change of viewpoint to Kuroyukihime. After they defeated the ISS main body, Kuroyukihime was distracted by the massive Dark Shot in the distance, the ISS main body took this opening and with the last of its strength fired off a node to try to infect Kuroyukihime. Kuroyukihime and the Elements are all too beat up to react in time. While being infected, Kuroyukihime synchronised her sight with Disaster Armour Mk II which allowed her to verify that Niko has been rescued and was fighting alongside Haruyuki. Just when the infection process was about to complete, the ghost of Red Rider kept his promise and engaged the safety on all ISS nodes, rendering them useless. (This means Rin/Ash is saved as well) Kuroyukihime finished ISS main body off but the death marker didn't appear. The player who was the ISS main body has lost all points and has retired from the accelerated world. As to why someone would stay at the same spot in the accelerated world for years with only a handful of points remained a mystery. Kuroyukihime leaves with the Elements to help Haruyuki.
Back to the battle against Disaster Armour Mk II. Haruyuki worked out the recharge time for Mk II's main cannon to be sixty seconds. Even with everyone's strongest attacks aimed at the weakest target -the eyeball - they were still unable to break it. Then Chiyu came along, gave it a whack and busted it......
. With this opening, Chiyu used her Citron Call Mode II to take back the stolen components. Chiyu's Citron Call needs ten seconds to take effect, when there was only two seconds left, Mk II suddenly changed into tank mode (Dreadnought mode) and charged at the team, breaking off Chiyu's Citron Call. Chiyu runs off to recharge her SP Gauge with Taku as bodyguard. Mk II fires the recharged cannon again, Haruyuki didn't notice that there was only one shot and the second shot grazed his wings, pinning him to the ground. Apparently Mk II can learn in battle just as the original Disaster could. Mk II grabbed Haruyuki and Niko and bashed them against each other continuously to shave off their HP. Their HP dropped to merely ten percent, Pard-san used her Bloodshed Cannon, sacrificed herself to create an opening. Haruyuki exceeded his limits yet again, gaining another pair of wings from Metatron. Now with six wings, Haruyuki took flight with the Incarnate Ability Light Speed, dragging Mk II and Niko with him. He planned to drop all three of them from a certain height and perish together but Mk II released them when Haruyuki reached five hundred meters. Haruyuki grabbed on Niko to watch Mk II getting crippled from the fall, only to be met by a close range Dark Shot. Just as the Dark Shot was about hit, Haruyuki heard a sound similar to the acceleration noise and the whole accelerated world came to a standstill. (There's a way to accelerate a further one thousand times in the accelerated world)
Haruyuki watched the whole world from above with Metatron. He noticed bright points of lights which represents the social camera from which the world was constructed from, there was only one place without these cameras --- the Imperial City. Haruyuki wonders how the Imperial City was designed without any camera data. Haruyuki also find the world split into three layers, each representing one of the acceleration games (Accel Assault 2038, Brain Burst 2039, Cosmos Corrupt 2040). The other two games have long since terminated. Metatron told Haruyuki how there was also an Imperial City in both of these worlds along with accelerators and Enemies and how there was no lights too in the other Imperial Cities. Metatron believes the goal of the designer of these games is to find someone who will eventually conquer the Imperial City and obtain the seventh star, The Fluctuating Light. Metatron had followed her commands for the past seven thousands years to fight against Burst Linker who only challenge her once every few decades. In the end Metatron decided to go against her programming and challenge the Imperial City with Haruyuki to find out about the reason for her existence. (Metatron refers to herself as 'we', hinting that other Enemies of similar rank may also have a sense of self and may also have deviated from their programming over time.)
Metatron also confirmed that the one who defeated her first and took The Luminary was the White King, White Cosmos. She also confirmed that The Luminary has the power to control Enemies.
Metatron offered her aid in battle against Mk II in exchange for what Haruyuki knows about the inside of the Imperial City. Metatron and Haruyuki both shed the shell protecting their souls to completely merge ♂♀
together. Their thoughts , feelings and life are completely joined together. Returning back to the battle, Hauyuki blocked the Dark Shot with one wave of his hand, his HP instantly refilled and gained six more bars of HP,( ... Even the four sacred beasts only had five...
) although three were depleted to block that Dark Shot. Haruyuki relaxed after blocking that attack but Mk II used the thrusters component to close the distance to use Dark Blow. Due to the damages earlier, Haruyuki's wings didn't react fast enough to dodge. Metatron used her laser (aka Trisagion) to counter the Dark Blow, Metatron's laser comes from the solar energy she absorbs, Haruyuki can't replicate that, she could only use her soul as a substitute energy source. As both Metatron's life force and their link fade away, her wings disappear from Haruyuki's back. In sadness and anger, Haruyuki expends all the power he has and the power Metatron left him to strike down Mk II. Chiyu successfully activates her Special Attack to take back three of the four stolen components of Invincible, just when the last component was about to be recovered, Mk II disappeared without a trace. Apparently Black Vise and Argon Array pulled Wolfram Cerberus' cable in the real world. Mk II managed to survive on that last component and Wolfram Cerberus. The overuse of Incarnation attracted a large group of Enemies, Haruyuki was unable to fly due to damages. Kuroyukihime and the Elements arrive just in time to help, they return back to the real world.
