Despite all the loss, Gai still ordered to start the operation.
As a result, all the members of Undertakers moved to a forest near a dam.
Primis didn't care less about it and had no intention of joining. However, Inori refused to let go of his arm and dragged him along.
Tsugumi and Oogumo had gone to get Gai while all others regrouped together and waited in a makeshift briefing room which was a huge tent. Since Primis was only here because of Inori, he was standing at the end. He could easily see Shu who was occasionally glancing at his direction. To be more precise, at Inori. He could even saw a slight jealously in his eyes.
Nevertheless, Primis chose to ignore him as his mind was drifting off to where he would take Sakura next on a picnic.
'Primis: Now that I think about it, after this Leukocyte arc, next arc will be somewhat about Arisa Kuhoin whose void is "Coward Shield".'
[You interested.]
'Primis: Nah. After I gained "Unlimited Blade Works", I got one of the strongest shields of Fate Universe.'
[Rho Aias.]
'Primis: Yeah. Anyway, after Arisa Kuhoin arc, in the next arc they went to a Oshima. In other words, Beach. I am sure Sakura will love it.'
[What a doting father.]
Primis didn't bother replying. He also knew that he loved to spoil his children. Even now and.........…even in past.
Sighing inwardly, Primis got rid of old memories for now.
It started raining quite heavily by the time Gai came in along with Oogumo and Tsugumi. He was bleeding from different parts of his body as they sat him.
Inori finally left Primis side and walked over to Gai to apply first aid and bandages.
After a few minutes, Shibunji came over to Gai and asked.
Shibunji: Gai, are you ready?
With Kido Kenji on his right looking at a computer screen, Gai stepped up and commented.
Gai: Looks like everyone's here.
As the huge screen behind Gai showed a picture of the dam that was somewhere close, he began his briefing on the mission.
While he was doing so, Primis silently left the tent.
With his hands in his jacket pockets, Primis walked in the rain with his closed eyes as if enjoying the sensation of cold drops of water falling on his face.
Scáthach: Looks like you love rain, My Lord.
Asked Scáthach with a light smile on her face.
Primis: I guess I do.
He also smiled back in in response. Primis kept on enjoying it for some more time before opening his eyes.
Primis: It's time.
Muttered Primis under his breath as he raised his head and looked at the sky. Even though the dark clouds were covering the sky, his gaze easily penetrated through them as was looking at the Leukocyte at the exosphere of the earths and right above Japan.
Even Scáthach was looking at looking while standing by Primis side.
{Scáthach: My Lord...}
{Primis: I know. I was waiting for this.}
Nodding her Scáthach stepped back and became silent. Once she did so, Primis pulled his right hand out of his jacket pocket.
A second later. "Zenith Gunblade" appeared in his hand.
Raising his hand, Primis pointed it towards the Leukocyte direction in the sky.
In the next moment, bluish aura started to come out Primis.
Then suddenly, a slight fluctuation passed entire world. However, the only people caught it was Primis, Ophis, Scáthach, and one more person.
The corner of Primis lips curved a little at it.
'Primis: You are finally awake......…'

--- A Few minutes before ---
When Gai started briefing them about the mission and Primis left. Inori's whose attention was mostly on him also wanted to follow. However, since the briefing was still going on, she had no choice but to wait.
After giving a brief overview, Gai rummaged in his pocket and took out a cylinder and showed it to everyone present.
Gai: In here contains our new operation's plan. Our projected causalities are up from 5% to 35%, but it's possible.
Saying this, he tossed it to Shibunji asking him to share it.
At this time, Shu voiced out.
Shu: Are you saying one out of three of us will die? That's...
Gai: The danger will spread to this country soon. We have no choice but to make our move.
Shu: ......…I don't like it.
As Shu and Undertakers began to argue, Inori also sneaked out and started looking for Primis.
Since the rain was still going on, the mud had some traces of his footprints. Hence, Inori decided to follow them.
After following the trails for sometimes, she finally found Primis who was standing in the middle of rain while looking in the sky.
Just when she was about to approach him, "Zenith Gunblade" appeared in his hand out of nowhere. This startled her as she stopped in her tracks and hide behind a tree while peeking at him.
And the next thing made her open her eyes wide as she witnessed the bluish aura coming out of him.
It was also the moment when the Zenith which Primis put into Inori to make its move.
???: ...….
Someone inside her woke up.
A girl with long, whitish pink hair that had a white flower pin on the left side with the bangs parted in the middle while the front strands of her hair were tied along with orange red eyes.
The girl and Inori were sharing the same vision witnessing how the boundless power was being erupted from Primis body.
'???: What is this power...'
It was also the time when Primis and others sensed her awakening.
.
.
.
.
'Primis: You are finally awake......…Ouma Mana or should I say...…Eve.'
More Zenith was released before it started to gather at the muzzle of his Gunblade.
With his index finger on the trigger, Primis waited. Waited because he knew that Mana was trying to figure out his power since it was completely different from "Apocalypse Virus".
Ten seconds later, Primis pulled the trigger.
CLICK!!!
BANG!!!
A blue fireball was released as it made its towards the sky.
Inori and Mana was looking with shock as the size of the fireball kept of increasing at every second.
The fireball dispersed all the clouds in the sky and kept on going at an extreme speed.
FWOOSH!!!
Soon, it penetrated through the earth's atmosphere and reached the Leukocyte. And then......…
BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A giant explosion occurred.
It was so bright that every person present on the earth could witness it even when it was still morning.
Lowering his hand, Primis sent his Gunblade back into his soul before turning and walking away. The bluish aura around him disappeared as Mana inside Inori fell into slumber again.
'Primis: With this Leukocyte arc is completed. For the next few arcs, there is nothing special so I will let our Protagonist Ouma Shu and Gai handle it. I have more pressing matters to attend to.'
[Like?]
'Primis: Like booking the hotel, hiring the chefs, and other stuffs so that Sakura can enjoy her time in beach.'
[.........]
Just like that, Primis left the forest while Inori was still hiding behind the tree. She still needed time to digested what she just witnessed.
Like that, the information of Leukocyte destruction reached the ears of GHQ as well as Undertakers.
They had dumbfounded expression on their face. Can't be helped since a minute ago they were planning on infiltrating the control room of Leukocyte which was hiding underground and now this.
They even started to wonder whether it was a hidden motive of GHQ to make them let their guard down.
On the other hand, GHQ were also having hard time figuring it out. They even thought that there must be traitor among their ranks.
As both parties were trying to find the reason, the main perpetrator of incidence just returned to the Undertaker base enjoyed the rest of the time with his family.

.
A few days later.
After the Leukocyte arc, Primis left the Undertaker base and bought a new home somewhere else. Using his hacking skill, he made sure that no one would be able to find out of his current location. For the time being, that is.
He knew if he remained there then Gai will think of a way to make him provide a hand one way or another. He also knew it was mostly because the Will of the world will make Gai to do. Hence, he left.
Even though he cut all the connections with them, he was still keeping an eye on their movements. Because of that he was aware that many arcs had been completed without much of a hitch.
However, there was one thing that attracted his attention.
It was the arc in which they went to Oshima and retrieve "Apocalypse Virus Meteorite". According to the plot, at that time, one of Shu's friends "Souta Tamadate" tried to confess his feelings to Inori there. However, Shu interrupted them and said something like "Inori is my---". After that time, Inori and Shu became even closer.
That's where the twist came.
Everything went exactly like the plot, but instead of getting closer, Inori became even more distance and cold towards Shu. The interaction between them decreased and Inori even asked Gai if he could have some else protect Shu in her place because she wanted to me.
'Primis: Something's wrong. Why is Inori maintaining her distance from Shu?'
[*sigh* Isn't it obvious? Compared to plot, she didn't fell in love with Shu. She fell in love with you.]
'Primis: I am not like other dense protagonists who can't see the girl's feelings. I long knew the Inori's growing affection towards me. That's why I said something's wrong. Once the Heroine fell in love with another person that is not the protagonist then the fate between them started to vanish slowly by slowly. But that's not the case here.'
[Wait! Are you saying that even though Inori fell for you, her fate with Shu is still as strong as before?]
'Primis: No. It becomes even more solid.'
[Wha--- How is this possible?]
'Primis: I am wondering the same.'
Narrowing his eyes, Primis thought.
'Primis: Is it because Shu still has the King's power? Or Because Mana had long chosen Shu as her Adam? Or Is it Rath's doing?'
Sighing, Primis shook his head and put those thoughts away for now, Currently, his attention was on something else.
'Primis: First, I must get my hands on the "Apocalypse Virus Meteorite". I can't let it get destroyed like what happened in the plot. It's required for my "Guilty Crown".
