It's Lay vs Avos! It's time for him to finally clean up the mess he made and save the girl he loves in the process! Even if Avos isn't going to make it easy for him...though dang it if she doesn't make a tempting offer, especially when she has Misa's lingering affection for Lay, though it's also a sign that Misa's still in there, fighting her
!
I love how Nousghalia shows up all dramatically and then Anos just socks him into a wall. Anos doesn't have time for either him or Avos. It's time for Shin to get some much needed payback against God
.
Nousghalia won't shut up about the word of God or how Shin should be grateful that he achieved love through the power of God, but that's not true. Shin gained love through the time he spent with Leno, and her effort to make him realize he COULD love someone, and that's the truth. Which is the perfect time for Lena to show up, reveal she's the Love God Fran, and she's been carrying Leno who takes over her body to be reunited with her husband (and daughter) and team-up against Nousghalia
!
Leno using all her spirit powers to disorient and overwhelm Nousgahlia is great, Shin bringing out all his swords and cutting Nousghalia's Source to shreds with the power of Hell was absolutely satisfying. Husband and wife really brought down a God
.
Lay is losing all his Sources but he won't give up, not until he frees Misa, and eventually he's able to succeed thanks to a move he learned from his future father-in-law...and he manages to split Avos and Misa! Misa is back
!
Of course it's not ideal because now both Misa and Avos only have half their Sources and can't maintain themselves, but Misa is willing to die if it means stopping Avos and protecting the world that those whom she loved helped her believe in. A world where the father that loves her, the boy she loves, the Anos Fangirls, and Anos himself worked so hard to make worth living in. And Avos' faulty understanding of love can't compare to that
.
Though now Avos has Venuzdnor, though with Anos, Shin, and Leno facing off against her it seems like the tables have completely turned. But why is she smiling? That's not the smile of someone losing
?!
