The sky got swallowed by the darkness pouring from Caramel's body, the reincarnated girl opened her eyes and smiled at the beaten-up Cranberry standing alone on the disintegrating battlefield as the world was shrinking in front of her very eyes.
The villainess was holding on to her baseball bat even though her arm was clearly broken, with a pale bone sticking out through the ripped flesh.
Even though all of her skills were stripped away and her beloved blue undead got swallowed after he pushed her out of the way and became a part of the self-appointed new God, Cranberry was standing tall.
Blood from the wound on her forehead that the corrupted avatar of gluttony inflicted on her was pouring over her eye, partly blocking her vision, but the red-haired girl was still looking down on her opponent, clear f any doubt.
Why should she be scared now?
Everything was clearly going to end then and there – why would she give her opponent the satisfaction of sing her break down in tear over her fate – no, that was far beneath Cranberry Pride.
"Pitiful villainess... you never stood a chance... without your skills, without anyone to support you, without the system that you could turn to... WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW!?"
Caramel mocked Cranberry, either by choice or coincidence, the reincarnated girl spoke with all the voices of the capture targets and the heroine that she assimilated with, at the same time.
"How does it feel to lose everything? I suffered so much because of a pathetic character like you after you seduced my XXXX. Are you prepared to face the consequences of messing with my perfect plan to change this world?! Eh... eh...? Wh-why cannot I restart it...? Where is the console command...?"
Caramel's voice was filling every inch of the disappearing world, the combined powers of seven sins and hope coursing through her body caused what was the remaining earth to shake.
"Haa... annoying..."
"Doesn't matter – I will find it later after will make you suff...! What did you just...?!"
The amalgamation of character extended her hand and... her face twisted with fury when she realized what the villainess just said.
"I said that you're annoying. - you don't even make sense – I met Zombie later than you did, how the hell was I supposed to seduce him before the two of us met?"
Cranberry spat to the side and slowly shook her head.
"What, did you perhaps go deaf or something? Ack..!"
She asked mockingly and raised her weapon, though she groaned as the broken bone gritted against her flesh scraping it off.
"You dare to still oppose me?! You are even more stupid than I thought. I became a God! I have absolute power over this world!"
Caramel raise her hands and everything trembled.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})"I am over the system – look around you! I am destroying it all! I am!"
She spread her arms showing off the darkness devouring everything in sight.
"Haa... Let me tell you something, you reincarnated bitch."
Cranberry breathed out, frowned, and pointed the baseball bat at the girl above.
"This world needs only one ruler."
The villainess raised her thumb and pointed it at herself.
"Me. And of course my Zombie to stay by my side."
She grinned as the blood was flowing down her face.
"Pffft...! AHAHAHAHAHA...! You?! Idiot! Your role has already come to an end! Did you go insane after I removed all your skills? It must be it! Poor, delusional villainess... know my mercy. System, activate Admin Panel! Kill Cranberry Pride!"
Caramel shouted triumphantly, waiting for the satisfying sound of Cranberry's lifeless body hitting the ground.
/Error\\
/Third party's attempt to interfere with the core system detected.\\
/Calculating...\\
"What...? Where is the admin panel? I could use it just fine before...?"
Caramel flinched and gasped in confusion.
"Ha? Wait a moment – why are you trying to use the console command? You exited the system, didn't you? What, did you not realize what would that mean?"
Cranberry smiled beautifully and put down the baseball bat and supported herself on it like on a cane.
"You didn't even receive the error message just now, didn't you? Ha ha! Now you are just an outsider trying to her in!"
"What do you mean, outsider?! I gathered all of the sin of origin nucleus's powers! I've become a God! I...!"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Caramel growled but then stopped as soon as she remembered the message that she saw the moment after she assimilated Zombie, the final capture target.
"Yes, you got the powers of the sin of origin nucleus – the ones made for the avatars to made the life of a player a bit easier when they will partner with them. Good for you. You probably thought that the sin of origin nucleus s stronger than the system because it only supports fourteen people at most while the system encompasses the whole world – but, that is honestly a silly thing to do. The things that can and cannot be done by the two are completely different – and honestly – the sin of origin nucleus cannot function without the system in the first place. Idiot - ou went out of the System jurisdiction. Come on, you need to use your head, that clearly doesn't mean that you control the system itself now. It just means that..."
Even though her battered body was barely holding together, Cranberry started grinning triumphantly.
"N-no...!"
Caramel's face twisted in sudden panic, and she shook her head in denial.
"You've simply become an outsider, a third party - an enemy of the whole system. Congratulations, enjoy your power."
Cranberry continued talking, and her eyes and smile were becoming crueler with each word she spoke.
"Shut up!"
Caramel cried, shaking her head like a selfish child unable to accept reality.
"But wait – there's something even more fun waiting in store for you! What do you think that the system will do when it detects that some third-party want's to mess with its core components?"
The villainess was trembling from holding back the laughter.
"I've said, SHUT UP!"
When Caramel shrieked, everything broke down at the same time, leaving the two of them in the void.

"Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha Ha!"
Cranberry let out a short laugh.
Hovering in the void, only her and Caramel, suddenly the two most powerful beings in that world.
One with the combined powers of all the capture targets and the heroine that held the power of the sin of origin nucleus, and the other that was granted complete control over the system unbound by upholding the entire world.
"No! That's not supposed to happen! DIE!"
Caramel thrashed around in a tantrum and attacked Cranberry with every stolen sin exclusive skill at the same time.
But...
)*(^*&$&*^()*&*&%$*^&((*^%
"!!!!"
Jaws of gluttony exploded as soon as they appeared, pride's overpower met its match and dissipated, greed's conquest was halted, wrath's bludgeon got countered, sloth's charge cannon got intercepted, the powers steal of envy failed, and the bindings of lust got smashed away before they could connect.
"Ha ha...! That's it? Did you perhaps get weaker after abandoning the system?"
Cranberry, now fully healed and angrier than ever lowered the steaming baseball bat and glared at the baffled Caramel.
"You dared to take away my husband for this...?"
The villainess already low voice turned ice-cold as she took a step forward.
"...! D-don't even dare to approach me...! Stay away!"
Caramel backed off, her face twisted in anger mixed with fear.
"..."
Cranberry glared at her coldly and her body started glowing brightly...
The next moment the villainess was right in front of the support character's face.
"...or what?"
*WHAM*
"GHU-HUAGH!"
She asked with a light shrug as she delivered a devastating blow right in the head of the self-appointed God, and sent her crashing down.
Even though there was no ground that could be seen, once the pitiful new God regained her balance she stood up as if the void formed a steady footing for her.
"This... THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!"
Caramel yelled and turned back toward the villainess.
"Haa... you know, you're even more pathetic than I imagined."
Cranberry shook her head disappointed.
"YOU...!"
Caramel growled and put her arms together.
A pure white light gathered in her hands and an enormous blinding beam shot at the red-haired girl up above.
"Ahahahaha! How do you like the heroine's power, huh?! Villainess?!"
Caramel laughed like a maniac.
"A combined power of the heroine and all the capture targets with maxed-out bonds and affection! No matter what powers do you have on your side, an antagonist like you will never be able to...!"
She continued laughing until the light of the beam faded out.
"Withstand... it...? WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
But the laugh turned into a panicked scream when the villainess showed up completely unscratched and with a disgusted face.
"What did I do? I dodged."
Cranberry shrugged her shoulders.
"Coward! If you have a system power by your side, why don't you try and face my attacks head-on?! Are you scared?!"
Caramel shouted with accusation.
"...?"
Which made the villainess raise her brow.
"No matter if you have the control of the System, a trash character that was created to be defeated, will get defeated, and you know it! Coward! Trash! Bullshit villainess!"
Caramel laughed.
"You know that no matter what, you are bound to lose to the heroine's power, and I have it now! You are simply scared!"
As she talked veins bulged out on her neck and forehead and her face became red from anger.
"You were always so proud of your power but look at yourself now! Hiding behind the powers of an administrator! No wonder you didn't become the avatar yourself! Pride never suited trash like you! If you are that strong then face me without those privileges! Coward! Face me with your own strength alone!"
Her lips formed into a creepy smile as she mocked the villainess.
"But of course, you won't do that. A weakling like you can't do anything alone! Some pathetic villainess you are! Cheater!"
Caramel spouted more and more abuse as she talked.
"..."
Cranberry glared at her and frowned.
The frown turned into a furious grimace.
"Is that so...?"
She asked coldly.
"System, I request the deactivation of my Administrator's privileges."
The villainess demanded.
/Request received\\
/Calculating...\\
/Warning\\
/Without the status of an administrator the last survivor might be unable to complete the quest\\
A system message popped up trying to stop her, but Cranberry only shook her head.
"Haa... System, just give me back all of the powers that I have lost and get rid of the rest. I want only things I achieved on my own, I don't care about the rest."
"...!"
At first, Caramel made a face as if she couldn't believe her ears, but when Cranberry confirmed her decision to the system, that disbelief turned into an elated smile.
/...\\
/Request accepted\\
/The last survivor's Administrator's privileges are disabled\\
After that message showed up, Cranberry suddenly lost her footing and started falling through the emptiness.
"Done."
The red-haired girl declared and shrugged her shoulders.
"You fool! You absolute moron! Ahahaha! I can't believe you've fallen for that cheap taunt!"
Caramel burst into laughter so violently, that she had to hold onto her stomach.
"This is perfect! No! This is beyond perfect! A truly fitting end for a villainess! Taken down by her own pride!"
She opened her arms and aimed them at the falling villainess.
"Now, perish from my world!"
A pure white light gathered towards her and a peerless beam even greater than before erupted with violent power.
