Kasque: But hey, you know what?

Kasque: "Gods" are just human conceptions!

Kasque: If I take over a different body, it'll be like my birthday all over again.

Kanata: Urk-...

2

Kasque: Enemy of the World, the body of the Great Transgressor... well, I hope it's not half bad.

Kasque: It's not very cute but...since he's a himbo, I guess I'll allow it.

Kasque: This body, I'll take it then.

Kanata: STOOOOP!!

Vicious: Hah?

3

Vicious: Who said you could do that?

Kasque: !?

Kanata: Vicious!!

Kasque: What the? Why can't I steal your body!!

Vicious: It's obvious.

4

Vicious: You think I'd let anyone get stolen ...by the likes of you.

Vicious: This is my will.

(TL Note: this is a call back to the same thing he told Kasque during their first encounter in Ep 40)

Vicious: While I'm still myself,

Vicious: Slaying us both, that'll be good enough for me, yeah?

8

Vicious: Hah-ha, gotten all quiet now, huh?

Vicious: You lose.

Vicious: Goddess.

Kasque: Ah-...Uh...

Vicious: Now then- With that, you just have to do it, Kanata.

Vicious: Simple enough, right?

Kasque: You...you can't do that...

Kanata: Somehow- There has to be another way...

Vicious: Aahh? There's no such thing, don'cha see!?

SFX: *dissolving*

10

Kanata: !!

Kanata: (He's steadily crumbling apart...)

Kanata: (Vicious' body...)

Kanata: (I have no choice but to finish it now...)

Kanata: (But I...)
