― ― Inside "Kvaris", a floating island above the north-eastern waters of the Xrare continent

The floating island of Kvaris, which was in danger of invading the airspace of the continent and attacking King Albain, was repelled and reorbited by the Dicks.

"The Champion's Seat" grasped the fact and tried to contact Dick and the others. The attempt to test their strength meant that the impact of the Kvaris incident was great for the Seat.

The top seats were interested in Dick and, following the Alliance Lord's guidelines, Calvin came to Dick.

"That's how I acquired the technology of" The Forsaken People, "" Space-time Transfer. "You're totally out of step with your understanding of the principles that trigger it."

Surrounded by spherical boundaries of repulsion and inaccessible to anyone (Kvaris), there was a young man in blue armor and a girl with a wand larger than her height inside.

The first is Cain Ashburn, number one in the "Hegemon's Seat" series.

The second person ranks second in the sequence, Astorte Rue Rutis.

The two men, who were said to have gained strength close to the apex of the world, were heading towards the deepest depths of Kvaris.

It now runs into a corridor through the middle of a floating island. It should have entered the interior of the island, but there was a blue sky around the corridor - a sight created by the lights.

"You're the one who says," The Magic Book of All Knowledge. "Have you finished analyzing it?

Astorte does not deny the inquiry. Acknowledging the silent affirmation, Cain laughed.

"Such a name was given to me on my own accord and is not suitable for me. Miralka Elise just taught me how big the world is."

"Was she called 'Poor Disaster'? I might not even be able to fight."

"What you should notice is Dick Silver, the same magical swordsman."

Behind the two walkers, there are several pieces of dead Dragon Wing soldiers rolling - they are talking and defeating the attacking Dragon Wing soldiers as if nothing had happened.

"─ ─ Gahhhh!!

Cain uses a characteristic warped sword made in the Oriental Islands. Without even showing the sword, he mutilates the dragon wings that come at him roaring.

Astorte returned a twice as powerful magic bullet with a similar shape as the Dragon Wing soldier when he fired the bullet from his mouth, blowing away the upper body of the Dragon Wing soldier.

"They're like Golems, but they've often given them the ability to fight."

"Fifty-eight thousand or so in battle strength alone... hundreds of these things are still there, so there's something so important ahead."

"Kuvalis didn't shut down, he was reproducing the dragon wings that Dick and the others destroyed... No, someone set fire to this floating island again."

At the same time as Cain finished, he took Astorte's spell with his own sword and cut off the dragon wings that attacked him simultaneously.

― ― Blue Blade Flow Sword Magic Osamu Killer (Zamanhountsu) ―

Dragon wings who tried to contradict swords, axes, and spears stopped moving in the air - and were cut into letters from the middle, and their upper body shifted and fell.

"... it seems that Dick from the Demon King Crusaders is also good at matchmaking at parties. We haven't lost either."

"He is all-powerful by himself. But I know I can count on your help. Such a person has a strength that cannot be measured by numbers... the power to destroy Kowloon, one aspect of the" God of the Skies ", deserves respect."

Through the Eye of the Seat, Cain and Astorte were told that Dick and the others were transitioning to another world, the Second World, where they had fulfilled their role.

"... I thought I was the strongest person in the world."

"You're always bold, though. I'm not going to deny it, but now...."

"Oh, I knew that wasn't the case before I went straight to Dick... but I didn't feel as sorry as I thought."

Astorte smiles bitterly when she sees Cain without changing her expression while looking at her hands.

"You must be pure, against something called strength. That's why we in the" seats "recognize you as the strongest."

A girl with silver hair that is close to the "people who have been left behind" smiles at Cain. Cain, who had the face that his heart was not here, opened his cheeks as if he had returned to me.

"It's not a bad feeling to be licked by someone like my sister."

"You and I are partners (Buddy). For now, I think you can admit it."

"I recognize it. That's why I..."

Astorte didn't notice the anomaly that happened to Cain at that time.

"... Cain?

"... ahh. I'll talk about it later."

"Sometimes you get nervous."

Cain continues unanswered - activates the metastasis depicted on the floor.

"... not a normal metastasis. Was this method communicated in advance?

Astorte was reading the contents of the transfer team. The destination of the magical formation, which should only be able to be transferred to the lowest level, has been rewritten more deeply.

The sights outside the formation change - something like the roots of giant trees are now spreading to the Cains.

What lit the area was a red magic stone tangled with its roots. Light strengthens and weakens repeatedly so that the fetus moves slowly.

"Is this... the heart of the floating island 'Kvaris'...?

The moment Astorte murmured, the ground rose and a statue mimicking the Dragon Wing Soldier appeared.

The next moment, magic is sent in from the Red Magic Stone and the Dragon Wing Soldier is given life. But before moving, Cain touches the Dragon Wing Soldier with his bare hands and sucks up its magic.

That's why Cain was able to take the top seat. As a human being, the ability to draw the magic of others into an extraordinary "thirsty vessel" and become infinitely stronger.

Astorte could only look with an open eye at the statue of the falling dragon wings without moving.

"... Cain... you..."

"Thank you for coming so far. But I have to apologize."

Cain smiles softly - without feeling the temperature as a person.

"... 'Alliance Lord'. Did you find Cain and put him in the first place?"

Astorte regretted not noticing until the signs of Cain had clearly changed.

There was no light in the blue armored young man's eyes - he had vain eyes, but someone who had taken over Cain's body certainly had his expression shaded.

"I didn't mean to do that from the beginning. Even if you say so, you can't believe it."

The "Alliance Lord", who lived in Cain, stopped imitating Cain's behavior.

"What did you create the 'Hegemon's Seat' for… if you think about it, you can learn from it. But I'm not convinced by the method."

Astorte holds his staff. And the magic bullet that was released without hesitation stopped in space without reaching Cain's body.

"By experiencing spatiotemporal transition, you opened your eyes to spatiotemporal magic with yourself. That's your ability to be called the" Magic Book of All Knowledge "... that no one else can change."

"I'm telling you that even if you're the opponent, you can't accept me because I'm going to win....!

Astorte's Magic Bullets begin to advance again - the "Alliance Lord" analyzed how the Magic Bullets were prevented and broke them on the spot.

― ― The dream of foam behind blue-edged knife surgery ―

But Cain's swordsmanship nullifies Astorte's Magic Bullets - and absorbs magic through his sword.

"Cain... you..."

If Cain herself resists, she won't be able to release it. Astorte had to understand the meaning of what the Alliance lord had shown him.

"... it may not be Cain's own move. Still, do you want to lower your wand?"

"I don't think he's that weak. I'm not convinced... but I know there's no point in fighting here."

Cain closes his eyes to contradict Astorte's words and puts one between them.

Then you approach the red magic stone entangled in the root of the tree. The bigger the red magic stone looks up, the more it gradually strengthens its shine.

"The people of the floating island tried to make God their own, leaving behind their past magical civilization. The first thing that was created for this was the source of the power of the divine. A magic stone that can permanently create and store magic... that's the" pseudo-god core "."

"Did you try to make God with your own hands? With so much power, they fought each other and perished....."

"--Not really."

For the first time, the voice of the Allied Lord, which was sounding in vain, gave rise to tremors.

The emotion was anger. Astorte felt that he could only say that.

"God was there from the beginning. Creating this world and seeing it from the outside... 'God of the Other Skies'. It began to interfere with the world when the pseudonuclear nucleus was completed. The people of the floating islands were regarded as objects to be destroyed by the gods of the sky."

"... because I tried to make a god...?

"There is no emotion in the god of the other sky. It moves only with the consciousness of eliminating things that could threaten its existence. The floating islanders 2,000 years ago accepted their doom... except for me and a few more survivors."

Survival of the destroyed race - the 'Deserted People'.

Astorte was slightly aware of the fact, but could not conclude until he heard it in the words of the Alliance Lord himself.

Astorte thought it was the same with Cain - but now, how far did Cain know, and had he already perceived the Alliance's intentions before he came here? Astorte could not give an answer to that alone.

"... for 2,000 years, you have avenged me..."

"The god of the other sky is outside this world. For 2,000 years, this world has been kept alive on a whim. I couldn't forgive it."

Empathizing with the purpose of the Alliance lord, Astorte left his country and belonged to the "Hegemon's Seat".

Therefore, Astorte could not stop the actions of the Allied lord. Even if Cain's body has been acting together for a long time.

"I... what should I do? There must be more to it than I am here."

The Alliance Lord needed more than just Cain, the "pseudonuclear" vessel. Astorte sensed and waited for the Alliance Lord to open his mouth.

"Use the power of this pseudo-divine nucleus to activate space-time magic. A place where a god of the sky exists... to open the door leading to the 'Throne of God'."

Cain reaches out to the moving pseudonuclear nucleus. Without asking any more questions, Astorte deployed a magic team at his feet to activate a new magic wand - 'She hasn't used it yet'.

― ― Magic Creation Space-time Transfer The Door of the World ―

Astorte waves his wand and draws magic letters into space - but before writing everything down, Astorte stops the wand.

"The 'Forsaken People' technique... 'Space-time defense' that allows every attack to escape to another world. Using that principle, Space-Time Transfer was completed. But I don't know where the 'Throne of God' is. Even if we can move to another world, if we don't know where we're going...."

The last thing you have to write about is your destination. Magic is not ambiguous enough to be able to transfer just by imagining an unknown place.

The chanting of magic is a process that moves the reason of the world and creates a phenomenon in the real world - a conclusion that took thousands of years in Astorte's homeland, when Miralka Elis found out that it had already arrived, Astorte felt like he had been peering into the abyss of magic for a long time.

If possible, I wanted to talk about Miralka and magic. Or we might have been able to compare each other's strengths - if we'd met before we got here.

"Don't forget where you're going. The moment the god of the other sky appeared, and the sight of its return, is engraved in my soul."

"... ah, ahh...!!

The thoughts of the Allied lord flow into Astorte's head.

--A burning floating island. Numerous dragon wings fly around, and the breath of destruction exhaled by the divine weapon reaps its breath while watching the lives of the floating islanders.

"... to protect the world... from the very beginning..."

"Emotions rubbed off over time, but they didn't disappear. I still hate the existence that destroyed the world for me. You must erase it with your own hands. Even at the expense of everything else."

"... everyone who has joined the table... is a person who truly respects you. I can't let them hear you now."

"Cain and you both felt it. Becoming stronger means leaving the weaker ones behind. If you seek strength, everyone will end up alone."

In order to heal the loneliness, Astorte asked for a stop at the "Hegemon's Table".

Astorte sees Cain. He was too strong, too, so he sat in the "Hegemon's Seat" in search of a place to die.

"We stand here because of them sitting in the seat. If you're still lonely, it's just pride."

The Alliance Lord does not answer. However, Astorte felt an emotional shake in Cain's eyes, which were supposed to have been taken over, that was certainly not with the Allies.

"... please tell me one last thing. What are you going to do with Cain's body?

"It is synonymous with the question of whether you can return to this world from the" Throne of God "after destroying the" God of the Other Skies ". I need you to stay here and send in the next hero when I'm defeated."

"The next heroes... Dick Silver. They have already defeated one side of the alien god. That's why we should apologize to them for all the rudeness and hope to fight together."

I did not choose it - it was the choice of the Alliance Lord who did not wait.

Hate of the 'Divine Sky'. Even if he lost his original body and became a spiritual body, the Allied lord waited for revenge with his own hands.

(... there was only one place for Allied Lord Hugo to look for a long time. What was the feeling of 'her' who supported it...)

Like the Alliance lord, she - 'Eyes of the Table' Makina - never showed her emotions.

Astorte is still dominated by emotions, even though he is said to be a wise man who transcends human intelligence.

After joining the "seat", I kept looking at his back. There are tens of thousands of ways to save Cain.

(... we must free Cain from the control of the Allied lord. However, the purpose of our "seat" is to defeat the "god of the sky". The last line is not different)

"Translate the thoughts of the 'Throne of God' that you saw into chanting. It opens the door to another sky."

"... I forced you to do it."

"... aren't you being cowardly with that face?"

The choice of the Alliance Lord remains unchanged when Astorte's mood is taken into consideration.

"Spatiotemporal transfer... Coordinate designation completed. Open the door leading to the" Throne of God "....!

A three-dimensional magic formation is completed and immense magic is poured into Cain's body from the Pseudo-Nuclear.

"Eh... Alliance Lord Hugo, Cain's 'vessel'..."

The Alliance Lord does not move. Cain's body acts as a receptacle for the magic of the pseudo-god nucleus - it reacts to magic, and its armor and hair turn red like blood.

"... with all this power... I'm in the world..."

"--Cain!"

Astorte screams.

A crack occurs in the space and the "door of the world" opens. At that moment - Astorte did see something invisible coming in from the world that opened up.

"--ooh... ooh... ahhhhhhh...!!

Cain shouts like a beast, turning his body upside down. Astorte can only see the changes that have taken place to Cain and his allies while holding his staff.

"--Astorte... trap... pseudo-divine nuclei are already... alien..."

The light barely returns to Cain's eyes. But it didn't last long, and Cain's body bounced like it was struck by an electric shock.

And at the next moment. A bloodstained hero threw out his sword and turned to Astorte with a clear intention of killing.

"... knock me down... every one of them..."

"Cain... please release Cain, Alliance Lord! Now... or else...!

The Alliance Lord does not answer. But it is not the hostility of the Alliance lord that is being directed at us.

The floating island of Kvaris was already under the interference of an alien god.

A pseudo-divine nucleus that supplies the magic needed to get to the "Throne of God". Borrowing that power meant being defenseless against interference from the enemy.

The Alliance lord, and Astorte, overlooked fatally - or did the gods of the other skies wait around for this moment?

"... Astorte..."

"......!

Cain shook his hand at Astorte, who was stuck.

A little ego left by Cain. When Astorte realizes that he can't attack Cain, his eyes are closed - something close to the 3D magic team that Astorte deployed centers on Cain's body.

The next moment, Astorte was in the cloudy sky, spreading far above the ground.

To prevent the effects of air scarcity and extreme cold temperatures, Astorte deploys magical barriers in a reflective manner.

― ― Double cage of barriers Protective prisons Double cage ―

Using flight magic, Astorte escapes from clouds that obstruct her vision while wrapped in a barrier.

And what I saw was what the floating island of Kvaris looked like.

The sky is dyed red and black lightning flashes around Kvaris. Astorte understands in front of the sight like the end of the world.

"... the one who tries to destroy the world... the god of the other sky..."

The Alliance Lord sent Cain and Astorte to Kvaris to open the 'Door of the World' against the god of the other sky.

As a result, half of the acts succeeded and half failed.

The Door of the World is open, and the gods of the other skies are about to invade. You can't beat that on your own.

"... 'Seated Eyes'... Makina, can you hear me?"

I know what's going on. Alliance Lord Hugo was interfered with by a god in the sky..... "

"Without being easily manipulated, we ruled out the possibility... given that it is the most effective way. And if God of the Universe is beyond our knowledge, then we should have thought of the worst and worst."

"... I..."

"Even if you knew in advance, you could not change the behavior of the Alliance Lord. I know you wanted me to tell you everything... but that was just a cry."

― ― Daiichi Destruction Magic Star Magic Bomb Meteor Spread ―

Astorte waves her wand and generates magic bullets around her that are powerful enough to twist and bend the space.

Numerous dragon wings fly from the top of Kvaris. Astorte hit the magic bullets before they scattered.

Receiving a magic bullet poured down like a meteor - the dragon wing soldiers who were supposed to have been crushed in a single blow flew at a rate that breaks through the air towards Astorte.

Astorte begins chanting again as he sees them burning in friction with the atmosphere.

"I don't want you to think that you can defeat me with the help of a borrower. Identify yourself."

--Cain placed under the control of an alien sky god. And the floating island of Kvaris, which is hostile to all humans.

In front of them, Astorte stood in the way of the enemies of the world without a step.
