( Inside Arisu's mecha armor. )
" Kyakh! " Arisu's hand was chopped off, she dodges the attack in the nick of time, due to how wide the room is inside.
"( If I didn't dodge it, in the split second, I'd be a goner... )"
"( And also... )"
"( Your decision is wise, Arisu... )" said someone in her mind.
"( You decided to switch to me, using my Gift is the wise decision you could ever done. )"
"( Yes, it was... )"
"( Tsukuyomi-Sama... )" Arisu says as she talks to her fifth God, using his Gift Ability to make sure she missed a sneak attack that could hit her head.
While Arisu recovers, outside her mecha armor, on her mecha armor's back, Andrew who pulled back his dagger sees the blood on its blade.
"( I missed... )" Andrew says while recounting what happened during his stabbing moment.
"( I was sure to stab it in the place where her head could've been, using this dagger, there's no Gift Ability that could stop its negating effect. )"
"( But... )" Andrew then remembers the moment, he then remembers that during his stab, suddenly his hand was shaken as if it was redirected by a powerful invisible force, making him miss his target the invisible force disturbs his stabbing process as it moves his hand away.
"( It seems the negating effect only came from this dagger's blade, not the handle... )"
"( No wonder, based on the weapon itself, this was meant to attack someone, not to defend the user like a talisman or somewhat. )" Andrew says to himself, while suddenly, the back of the mecha armor then summoned a metal blaster out from its metallic body like a transformer.
" Oh shit, the robot could transform parts of its body flexibly! "
" Like a transformer, never thought it could happen in real life! " Andrew says as he then uses his ability [Dark Cube] to create a barrier with the size of his body to shield himself from the sudden attack.
"( The blasters were too close-ranged. )" Andrew thinks for a sec and then uses his communication device to contact Misaki.
" Hey witch, you hear me? " Andrew said from behind his barrier, while the person he contacts, who was just nearby had already replenished herself.
" Yes, I heard you... "
" I was just replenishing my ice Gifts after that little b**ch burned my hand in moments before you came. " Misaki says while using some Talisman to quicken her hands' recovery as she could feel her hand summoning the Blizzard once more.
" It feels good to be this cold," she says as she then uses her [Snow Blizzard] Gift to freeze the defensive Mecha Armor, freezing it while leaving Andrew behind.
" You can come out now, over. " Misaki says as Andrew deactivates his ability and slashes the frozen blasters.
As it happens, inside the Mecha Armor, Arisu then tries to move her mecha armor but to no avail as she could see from the inside that the ice Misaki just made, slowly crumbles the mecha armor's metal.
" That witch's hand is healed! " Arisu realizes as she then remembers that the Fubuki Clan Leader's freezing ability can freeze and slowly crumble any object it was frozen with.
" Guess, I had to switch Gifts again, I know I should use this as my last card, but the situation gave me no choice. "
[ Switching Gifts ]
[ Gift Ability: Moon's Gravity ]
" [Gravity Burst] " Arisu says as she used the ability to explode her armor, thus, throwing both Andrew and Misaki hard the explosion also destroyed the room, making the building structure crumble, it even throws out Misaki's three daughters' outside the room as they were instructed to not interfere due to their incapability to fight the Priestess, unlike their mother.
" Mother! " Makino shouts while getting explode from the wave, as she and her two sisters are thrown so far from their earliest position.
" Keukh! " Misaki grunts as she then uses her ability to create [Blizzard Wings], making wings out of her ice to make her position stable in the air.
" You think wings would help? " Arisu says as levitates herself in the air.
" You may able to defy the sky, but that will be your limit! "
" For your mortal-made wings will never reach space nor even the sun. "
" Just like the Greek Legend Icarus, you will fall back to where you belong! " Arisu says as she used [Gravity Fall] to make Misaki fall into the ground, her gravity makes the woman witch falls so hard, destroying her wings before she could soar the skies to use whatever she's gonna use.
"( Why you...- )" Misaki says as she was pressured into the ground.
As Arisu pressured her, she then sees Andrew coming out from the rubble, he then also summons some of the Spirits he spared from obtaining the Forbidden Items, the spirits that survived the traps.
" So you too still alive, huh? " Arisu says as she sees Andrew's Gift Core and Soul from her [Star Spiritual Eyes].
" I see, so you're the one I looked back then*, back in my Tower's hangar. " Arisu says as she recognizes Andrew.
" The 'assassin', I presume? " Arisu says to Andrew as he comes out, somehow unaffected by the gravity she increased around the area.
[ Dark Shielding: Dark Covering ]
[ Prevents the user, affected by any kind of attacks, a neutral zone for any attacks, since any abilities are nullified by this 'Covering'. ]
" Yes, I'm the assassin, at your service. " Andrew calmly responds while ordering his spirits to shoot Arisu some of their projectiles.
" You think that would hit me? " Arisu says as she prepares to turn back those projectiles.
*The projectiles exploded mid-air.*
As it all exploded, it turns into colossal smoke, Arisu then smells something that almost made her dizzy before she uses gravity to prevent the smoke from getting near her.
"( These gasses, their sedative... )" Arisu then tries to get hold of herself, maintaining her focus as she quickly performs her skill.
[ Gravity Push ]
Arisu then pushes away the spirits that Andrew summoned, she then uses [Gravity Lock] to lock Andrew's movement as she also uses a bit on [Gravity Fall] to make the [Divine Decimation Dagger] falls from Andrew's hand, as it also rips the hand Andrew use for holding the handle.
" Grkkh! " Andrew grunts while seeing his left hand chopped off and falls with the dagger that could neutralize Arisu's gravitational effects.
"( Grhh, my [Dark Covering] is not strong enough... )" Andrew says while deciding to release some of his Gift Energy to amplify his [Dark Covering] ability making him able to break free from his invisible chains and quickly picks the fallen dagger with his remaining hand and plunges himself towards Arisu, quickly stabbing the girl in her heart.
" Keukh! " Arisu coughs blood while looking at Andrew who had successfully impaled her in the chest.
" This is for the one earlier, girl! "
" This time, I didn't miss. " Andrew then holds the dagger's handle as he pulls it and slices Arisu's limbs to make sure she won't conjure another skill of her Gift Ability.
"( Gift Ability is conjured through the use of limbs, eyes, and mouth can be used to conjure it, but the skills on using it were rare. )"
"( For never once the gods Gift an ability that could conjure laser eyes or mouth beams and judging from the girl's Gifts, it wouldn't be possible. )" Andrew gives the thought as he finishes off the priestess swiftly.
" FATALITY! " Andrew says the word.
" Damn, always want to say that word. " Andrew tells himself after doing the execution, he really gets into his image of being a Mortal Kombat character, hence his favorite video game.
"( Thank goodness, I know a lot from you, brother Carnegie, you're delved into researching the Gift Cores and its abilities serve me well. )" Andrew then thanks his late brother while suddenly remembering his nephew at the sudden.
"( I avenged you, Ragna... )"
"( As I killed the gods who were participating in your traumatic event but decided to keep silent... )"
"( Now, they are dead as I killed their ultimate vessel, which means it includes them since they are now one with her. )" Andrew says he then sees Misaki who were in awe of what just happened.
" Incredible, you? "
" I was simply more experienced than her and had more knowledge about the Gift Cores. "
" Using it, it was obvious that I would win. Thank you for your curiosity. " Andrew responds to Misaki's awe over his achievements.

( Meanwhile. )
< Location: Loki's Air Carrier >
" Gasp! " Battle Maiden wakes up as she was still in the Air Carrier's Medic Room, she fills her body on fire.
" Garkh! This is! " Battle Maiden says as unknown to her blind eyes, the 'Contract Seal'* Arisu made to her body activates and when it activates, it gives her the greatest heat that she could ever handle.
" Orianna dear! " Athena says as she hears her scream, seeing Battle Maiden's body filled with contract seal as the seal then slowly dissipates.
" Lord Athena... " Battle Maiden says as Athena comes near her and checks her body as she sees the remains of the gone 'Contract Seal'.
" Is that the 'Contract Seal' between you and young Tsuchimikado? " Loki then asks, coming out of nowhere which Maiden just said yes.
" Is there something wrong with Alice? " Maiden asks Loki then realized something.
" Bastard! " Loki says as he then asks his Valkyries to tell him where the Grand Holy Priestess is last located.
" She's in Kyoto, Allfather, in...- "
" I know where she's at, we're going there, now people! double time! " Loki says as he orders the Valkyrie to make the Air Carrier go there ASAP as his guts tell him something is wrong.
"( I was careless, dammit! )"

Extra:
* '...you're the one I looked back then':
She means what she sees in Chapter 241: Arisu (Alice) Tsuchimikado Part 1.
Note:
Ragna's father Carnegie is a professor that does extensive research on Gift Cores, so it would be not a surprise if he knew and told Andrew some of the things he discovered.
L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS 
KJVZeanso
KJVZeanso I'm sorry if it was this quick. For me, Arisu's character is an obstacle to making this flashback arc ending, but do not worry, she is still vital.
Spoilers: She will have Plot Armor, but...
