“Show time!”

Beaugosse and his clones hovering and spinning in the sky suddenly make a dive, still in an elegant style, and fire a storm of shiny feather missiles from their spreading wings altogether. When the feather missiles and Jacobs' jellyfish bullets collide, flames and smokes of explosions instantly engulf Jack and Joo dashing forward simultaneously.

Protected by the cat-shaped mech suit, Joo isn't afraid of the blast and flames. She moves so fast that one can only see a ghost trail left behind, and she bumps into K, also moving at an incredibly high speed.

Bang! It is as loud as thunder.

The shock wave travels through the flames and forms a ring of fire spreading around. K and Joo are fighting each other intensely in the center of it.

In the meantime, JS hides inside the big ball formed by his metal hands, and he controls it to roll toward Queen far in the back.

"How dare you! Don't you come any closer to my Queen!" Several of Beaugosse's clones swoop over and launch a round of feather missiles, trying to stop the metal ball. But even though some of the missiles hit the ball, none can damage its surface or even slow it down. 

Pew-pew-pew! Jellyfish bullets shoot through those clones from the side.

"Let's see who's got more. Your clones, or my bullets?"

Jacobs circles in the air like a fighter plane and keeps firing jellyfish bullets of various effects that create the best attack combinations. He alone successfully holds Beaugosse and his constantly generated clones at bay.

JS' big metal ball approaches Queen, but the latter doesn't seem to care at all. She is focusing on controlling the chains from her eyeball guardian to absorb the energy from the core of this trial world. There is even a slight smile on her lips.

A gigantic figure at amazing speed catches up with JS and throws a punch toward him.

But right before he hits the metal ball, Joo teleports over and puts her paw onto it. She takes JS away with her by teleportation again just in time to avoid that killing punch.

With a boom, K punches into the ground and leaves a deep dent.

By that moment, Joo has sent JS right next to the transparent sphere container that keeps the substantial bodies of the guardians of this trial world.

"Thanks, Joo!"

Without a stop, Joo teleports to the side of K again and keeps him busy. 

Joo zaps around like a flashing shadow and hits K's exoskeletons with her sharp mech claws and that red club. The hard shell covering K starts to crack.

Although his defense has been greatly enhanced, K has to pay attention to these cracks. He keeps growing those shells back to protect himself from Joo's strikes, thus getting trapped where he is.

JS steps out of the metal ball and closes up to the sphere container. He then straightens the metal palms, wielding them as two heavy swords.

"Trying to cut off my chains?" scoffs Queen not far away, "Silly boy. The chains of my guardian are made of energy and digital data. They are not substantial, to begin with. How will you cut them off?"

“Huh.” JS chuckles, swings his giant swords in both hands and slashes at the sphere container. With a crack, a big hole is opened in the container protecting the two guardians.

Bang!

Everyone feels the obvious vibration caused not by an earthquake or an explosion, but the trial world itself just shook violently.

A red stream of data flows out of JS and condenses into a hologram of the octopus guardian.

"The trial world's emergency protocol is activated. The Saint's identity is confirmed. Saint, starting today, I'll be your guardian." After these words, the guardian's hologram turns into a red stream of data again and flows into the guardian's body inside the broken container.

The guardian opens the compound eyes in the center part of its body. Then it flutters its eight arms, swims through the air toward JS, and eventually merges into his body.

An irregularly-shaped quaint fragment key appears out of thin air and hangs on JS' chest.

"Yes!" JS cheers out loud, "Never expected that, huh? Bubble Gang, you guys lose!"

Queen clenches the Bubble Gem in her hand, her eyes turning cold. 

However, everyone is shocked by what happens next.

The starfish guardian opens its single eye in the belly and flies out of the container into the sky. Another fragment key appears above its eye.

"Six fragments have been activated. The seventh piece is constructed. The final trial world of the Revelation is opened. Participants, come and take the challenge."

The front ends of the starfish's seven arms start to shine and form a vortex, indicating that it is about to teleport away.

“There is the seventh fragment key?” JS is confused.

"The seventh fragment key?" Queen activates the Bubble Gem without any hesitation, "Now that all of the fragment keys are here, I'll take them all!"

The gem beats one time like a heart, and its light dims a bit. But it soon shines again with dazzling beams that create a black hole over Queen's head. Innumerable translucent chains twist out of the hole and spread in all directions.

One of the chains shoots straight into the vortex opened by the starfish guardian. The vortex shakes in the air and disappears. The starfish guardian's teleportation is interrupted.

None of the Hipsters are spared, even though they've tried every way to escape. Whether it is Jacobs soaring in the sky, Joo teleporting nonstop, or JS hiding behind his metal hands, all of them are penetrated by the chains.

Soon they feel they are losing energy. Not only that, their physical strength, vitality, and even their souls are being absorbed by the black hole above Queen's head.

"What the hell is that?" JS feels even the air around him is becoming heavy.

Joo and Jacobs in combat are also weakened. Their movements are slowing down.

Queen holds the Bubble Gem high up. A purple beam comes from the black hole and shines on her.

The starfish guardian summons a light shield around itself to prevent the black hole from absorbing its energy. It sends out a warning at the same time, “A hyperspace information channel is detected. The person opening it is receiving information from an unknown source. The probability of the space-time black hole getting out of control is surging. Please close the channel immediately. Please close the channel immediately.”

"K, Beaugosse, switch to your combining mode. Go get rid of those Hipsters and bring me their fragment keys." Queen closes her eyes and seems to be receiving information from the beam.

"Well, I don't find it pleasant to do so. But, the order from my Queen cannot be disobeyed." Beaugosse calls back all of his clones, and they become one again. He then flies to K and sticks out his right index finger.

K raises his right arm and sticks out his index finger too.

The moment the two index fingers touch, their guardians come out. A single-eyed crow and a lobster with a hard shell, both translucent, overlap each other and fuse into one.

In the meantime, K's and Beaugosse's bodies also combine into a new form – a giant with hard exoskeletons all over its body and a pair of metal wings spreading in the back. And it has two heads on its shoulders.

Beaugosse's head says, "I'll give you three seconds to destroy them, K. It kills me if I have to stay in the same body with another stinky guy for more than ten seconds."

K opens his mouth but says nothing. The two-headed giant's metal wings start vibrating like two loudspeaker boxes. In the next second, the space is filled with K's amplified death rap. Destructive sound waves strike through the air and even cause a few space rifts.

JS hears a humming in the ears. His nose itches and then start bleeding.

Joo gets down beside him. Her cat-shaped mech suit makes disturbing sounds and begins to crack. Joo opens her mouth, trying to say something to JS, but nothing can be heard in the rumbling death rap.

Impacted by the death rap, Jacobs has to land on the ground to join JS and Joo. He grits his teeth and makes a few gestures to JS. The translucent helmet formed by his jellyfish guardian turns royal blue, with electric sparks flickering inside.
