After a break at the Full Moon Mermaid's Pavilion, we embarked on a flying battleship for the Vortex of the World.

"... Calwen, it's a little harsh to ask you. Is there no mistake in this direction?

"Yes... but something..."

"Even though you're holding a secret line, you don't look defenseless. Aren't seat members always at home?"

"There shouldn't be anyone else in the 'Vortex of the World' but the 'Eye of the Seat'. But...."

"--Master Dick, that's probably the ground part of the 'Vortex of the World'. At the top of the island, you can see things like the entrance to the ruins."

Glasgow projected on the slide - several men and women lying near the entrance to the ruins. There are burning marks and broken stone floors.

"... Suou and Mikado. They came back before us and engaged here... no..."

Me, Glasgow, and Calvin arrived at that reasoning at the same time.

"Assuming it's a raid..."

"... the 'God of the Other Skies' is starting to move. Is there anyone else hostile to Seating?

"No one will be able to reach the Vortex of the World. Not even the dragon wings....."

Dragon Wings - The words reminded me of a deeply attached opponent. A Kvaris dragon wing soldier who once corrupted the floating island of Berthalis to the ground.

(But he's as strong as an SS rank, and I don't think he's going to lose even below the table... what the hell is going on? No... what the hell did Seating do?

In order to confirm this, we must also contact the "Eye of the Seat". This is the first undercover operation in a long time.

"Glasgow, Sharon, Calvin. Coordinate with Cody, who can shoot at super long range, and Miralka, who can fight in the air, in case an enemy approaches a flying battleship."

"Very well, Dick. Good luck."

"Welcome, master."

"... be careful."

Since Calvin is under Sharon's control, it doesn't seem to be forced to do so. In this situation, do you think you are somewhat aware of me going to the "Vortex of the World"?

Exit the control room and climb up to deck in the transfer formation. All the Demon King Crusaders, including Miralka and Cody, as well as Master, Verlaine and Sphere were waiting.

"I can't help being in a hurry. But you can rest until it's all over....."

I can't rest, before I say so, I activate Heal Magic. Miralka laughs bitterly at the slightest light that surrounds the bodies of all her companions.

"I think you should preserve your magic too. It's going to be a long way, isn't it?

"No problem. Healing magic isn't just about sharing your power."

"The stronger you are, the more times you can activate your resilience... that's what you taught me, Dean."

Master smiles happily. I've changed my hair today, but it seems to be because I've aligned it with Sphere - two knots and a focus on ease of movement.

"Dad, can I come with you?

"Oh, let's go together. Miralka, Cody. I want you to protect the flying battleship."

"Yes, leave it to me. I hope you're not worried about taking care of yourself."

"Eileen, please take care of Dick. You're the only one who can keep up with Dick in a melee fight."

"Yeah, leave it to me. If you relax, Sphere is going to be late for Mr. Rimse, but I'm trying hard not to!

Eileen was half serious and half joking, but the brightness will relieve our tension as usual.

"Well... let's go. I don't have a lot of time."

"Verlaine summons the 'Winged One' and takes Yuma down. Master and Eileen are black dragons... let's use the power of the" Armor Spirit "to consolidate our defenses."

"Roger that. You need that defense, even in the air."

Finish the transmission, and I'll board the banning with Sphere. Master and Eileen turned into the Black Dragon, and Verlaine turned into the Demon King. He shook the "Spirit King's Scepter" and summoned the "Winged One". He held Yuma and flew away.

"Phew... Spirit-san's soul has such a big wave."

"Fufu... Yuma still has different eyes. From my point of view, I still don't know what kind of" winged man "is there, but I'm just relying on my help as a Summoner."

"The Spirit is looking at Verlaine with very warm eyes. Like my own daughter... let's do it."

"Mm, mmm... even though spirits live forever, there's something to illuminate when they say so."

Verlaine's union with Yuma is also unusual, and the story was interesting to me - it's still not a undisturbed journey.

"--Dick, something's coming!

"That figure... dragons and people together, of Kvaris...!

Eileen and Master warn me. The next moment, I fly over the banning - Sphere follows me, joining hands with me and descending rapidly.

"- Gwaaaaaaaaa!!

From the entrance to the home of Vortex of the World - Champion's Seat, an all-one dragon winged soldier flew towards us suddenly.

His whole body was covered in black magic - obviously different from the individual he had previously engaged.

But we're not the same. It has certainly evolved through the "Champion's Seat" and the battle in another world.

"Let's go, Sphere!

"Yes, Father!

― ― Type zero, double kill (twin), cross (blade cross) ―

Together with the power of destruction learned from Miralka's Zero Formula, Sphere reproduces it with incalculable accuracy.

Two sword flashes run through the body of the Dragon Wing Soldier - this combination can be defeated with a single blow.

"But... I still can't be one...!

After dropping the whole thing, the other two appeared. But at the next moment, the rays emitted from the flying battleship - one shot through by a light sword and the other by a three-dimensional magical formation deployed at an incredible speed - explode.

"How... sophisticated. Demon King Crusaders... that name is no longer enough..."

"Verlaine, I still have a bad soul...!

Another dragon wing soldier made a big detour without approaching me and Sphere - but Master Black Dragon was circling there.

"Dean, Vel, let us handle this!

"I won't let you through...! Rakusha Zangetsuki!

Flying from the Black Dragon, Eileen kicks the Dragon Wing Soldier at the speed of a meteor. The dragon wings were knocked down on the sea around the entrance to the "World Vortex", and Eileen further developed the power of the Wizard as a chase, turning it into a red air bullet and knocking it into the levitating dragon wings.

"Aileen, it's still coming...!

"I can still do it... I'm getting stronger. The enemy is tough, but it has nothing to do with it...!

"Eileen, Master, please! Banning, wait behind us until we get back!

"─ ─ Ghhhhhh!"

Me, Sphere, and Verlaine and Yuma land at the entrance to the Vortex of the World and rush into the ruins.

Yuma, if you're with me, you can go faster.

"Ah... Sefia-san... oh, my God, I can't believe you're integrating with my daughter."

The presence of Spirit Spirit Spirit allows Yuma to have the same physical abilities as Spirit Spirit Spirit. Inflicting my Enhanced Magic and increasing our speed, we ran through a large passage to the depths of the ruins.

◆ ◇ ◆

Ruins dotted around the world, including within the Kingdom of Albain. Not all of this relates to the "people who have been left behind," but this place was clearly known to it.

Several "seated" members fell down, so I came here with minimal medical attention. Fortunately, none of them lost their lives in serious wounds, and those who were able to walk were able to get their friends out of there who still couldn't move.

"That monster suddenly flew in countless numbers... and I could win, but that number..."

The lower-ranking ones are all the ones who won more defense. As soon as Suou and Mikado returned, they dived deep..... "

Because Calwen is the SSS rank, everyone who makes up the "seat" exceeds the SSS rank. Still, if you take multiple dragon wings reinforced to the top of the SS rank, it's not impossible to be pushed.

"--Master, it's coming!

"─ ─ Gwaaaaaaaaa!"

At the end of the hallway, the dragon wings hanging from the ceiling above me are killing me.

"Nh...!

― ― Zero Shura Residual Sword Imminent Transformation ―

Accelerates the resulting shadow beyond its limits and simultaneously slashes two Dragon Wing soldiers. Combine Miralka's "Zero" to penetrate the armor of the Dragon Wing Soldier, which is not normally severable.

"Dad... it's amazing..."

"Absolutely... it's so thick and shivering. How strong will you be, master?"

"My sword itself hasn't changed much, but I can now use Miralka's magic to strengthen it. Miralka is amazing."

I put my sword in a sheath. When I fought before, I was pushed in numbers, but with Yuma's "Choir", I could reduce my enemies' warfare and work with Sphere and Verlaine to make it easier.

"What's this painting on the floor... Dad, is it a transfer team?

"Oh, I see. Using this, if the Dragon Wings were invading further back....."

In the middle of the conversation, there is a vibration that protrudes from the bottom. There are fights underneath - but attempts to activate the Transformation are sealed.

"Dad, let me handle this. This metastasis should also be connected by a spiritual pulse to the bottom."

"You mean you can dive into a spiritual vein and unseal it? Okay, don't push it."

"Mmm....!

Sphere's body glows, spiritualizes, and is sucked into the magical formation.

Me, Verlaine, and Yuma watched as they prayed - it didn't take much for the particles of light to pop out of the magical formation and Sphere became a reality again.

"Looks like it went well. Dad, now we can get to the bottom. I think that's why I was shaking."

"Well done, Sphere. Everyone, get in the formation... when you get into the lower level, Verlaine and Sphere will take Yuma's escort."

"Yes, I understand."

"Yes, Father!

"Thank you both. Dick, there are many soul waves ahead… let's calmly determine who to fight against."

Listening to Yuma's advice, I think - Suou and Mikado will not turn against the enemy. No matter how changed the situation, it is hard for them to think about changing their opinions easily.

A raider entering the Vortex of the World. And what do you think of the "Eye of the Seat" who was giving instructions to Suou and Mikado as they invaded us?

"... Dad, if I didn't want anyone inside, I could have completely stopped the transfer."

"Well... thank you, Sphere. Their opinions are helpful."

"If the purpose of 'seating' is to repel the god of the other sky, then we are the same in that regard. Even the presence of God can't make us like our world."

"Ah. Too big for me to say... I flew to another world, and I'm already hungry."

I put my hand on the transfer team and activate it - it was sealed to the middle, but I could fly even deeper.

When the formation is activated, the outside sight changes. It was the entrance to the vast space on the dome that drove us away.

"─ ─ Ggh!"

"Kh...!

It was Suou and Mikado that were blown away - I reacted instantly and spread the barrier around them. Still, the stone walls that were knocked on by the two fell down a great deal, and pieces of stone splashed apart.

Suou and Mikado are struggling to stay conscious. Beyond their gaze - in the sky is a girl sitting like a chair in a sphere of metal.

Two giant arms float in the air. Ice on the one hand, and earth on the other - Suou and Micado, attributes that conflict with their magic, overwhelmed both at the same time.

"... Dick... you're coming too soon. I wanted to solve the inner ring problem before you came...."

"Suw... now is not the time to be bluffing. With the last blow, I sneaked away with my magic... and if I take it again in this state, I'll be gone."

Mikado jokes, but the magic is certainly extremely low - if you give me a minimum amount of magic, the weakened pulse will be revived and the cycle of magic will return.

"Eh... hah... this is Dick's magic... no, Dick's magic. I'm sure Dick's people, who give this to him on a daily basis, are living a satisfying life."

"You're not kidding me... hah... ah, I thought I was gonna die. It's been a long time since I've been killed, but I can't believe it...."

I hold my sword and see a metal shell floating in the sky - the girl in it.

"... my name is Makina. Who sent you to the Second World."

"Normally, I'm sorry I'm not safe. But... if you're expecting our help, I'd rather thank you for sending me to that place."

By going, we were able to protect acquaintances in another world. Dinoa will return to her daily routine and live with her companions.

But as long as the main body of the "God of the Other Skies" exists, it is not strange that the peril of doom is visited in one world as usual - the "Second World" that Makina calls it.

"Dick Silver... you are unique to this world."

"... are you saying that my existence exists as' Dinoah 'in' Second World '?

"Yes... it usually doesn't look as different in parallel worlds as it does in parallel. You exist as a different person in each world and still have a great influence on the world. Neither be king, nor seek the throne, nor rule. But they try to protect the world and bring peace to people."

How much does Makina know about me? Everything seems to be foreseeable, and I feel too proud to accept it as it is.

"I'm just doing what I want. I'm sorry to be forced to sacrifice myself, but I'm here by my own will."

"... if you don't defeat 'The Divine Sky', it won't be strange when the world is over. The Champion's Seat is an organization created to prevent it. But it's over now."

"It's over...? What are you talking about?"

Suou and Mikado stood up and the war was back in sight - but they would not attack Makina immediately.

"... the 'Alliance Lord' was distracted. I took over Cain's body... and sent a monster to get something out of this" Vortex of the World "."

"It must have been a weapon made by the floating island Kvaris... who was interfered with by the 'God of the Universe' and tried to harm humans. Cain, who has infiltrated the Kvaris, has placed the Kvaris weapon under control... which means one thing."

When Suu and Mikado put together their words, it means that the leader of the "Hegemon's seat" and the first place in the seat turned against the enemy.

"... Makina. Do you know what the Alliance lord and his man, Kane, are like?"

"The Alliance Lord... gained the power of the 'pseudo-god nucleus', the source of the power of Kvaris, and tried to pave the way to the place where the 'god of the sky' is. However, there was a trap in the Pseudo-Nuclear. It means that when you capture that power, you will be ruled by the" God of the Other Skies "."

"'Pseudo-nuclear'... I should have hit you sooner than that. At that time, all I had to do was defeat him."

Seeing Sphere - I lost her, I couldn't defeat Kvaris without a taste of her despair.

Still, Sphere is there without feeling sad and smiling. I'll never lose her again, I swear.

"But couldn't you speculate that there was a trap? The allies who should have been carefully searching for ways to fight the" God of the Other Skies "....."

"- I will not forgive those who insult the Lord."

No questions asked - the giant's arm floating in the air is thrown at me faster than the sound.

Avoiding a pseudo-shift with super acceleration will offset the power and stop before the Titan's fist touches the floor - it doesn't seem to have lost its coolness enough to explode indiscriminately.

"... the power to defeat the 'Divine Sky'. You hurried to get it."

"Since you changed the trajectory of the floating island of Kvaris, the Alliance Lord has ordered you to be first and second in the ranks, trying to infiltrate Kvaris. It was made possible by the technology brought about by Calwen, which made it possible to transfer time and space."

"A defensive way to escape an attack on another world… Sure, if we can analyze that principle, we'll be able to move between worlds."

"But even if you can understand such magic and principles, it's not something you can try... there are many questions about whether you can maintain your body and spirit when you make a space and space transition."

Verlaine is right, if she tried it herself, she wouldn't have done it without a good reason - time and space shift, which is obviously stepping into an area beyond the magical range I know.

"... the theory of results, but the space-time transition was successful for us. That's what it is."

A girl nods in a metal shell. It's like a magical instrument on his head, and he can only see around his mouth.

"Besides me, there are people in the seat who can activate the space-time transition. Astorte, second in the seat. One of the top wizards in the world, observed at the moment."

"... I definitely know one of the wizards at the top."

"Yes... the other one is Miralka Elis. Thanks to Calvin's interference, Astorte now surpasses him."

"If that's all you're acknowledging... no. There's no way people who have been working in different ways can easily fight each other."

Makina won't answer. There is no sign of the giant's arms moving.

However, we will have to fight her as it is. It feels like it touches your skin and you can see it.

"... why did you attack Suou and Mikado?

"I will only obey the Lord. The Alliance Lord is trying to destroy the" God of the Universe "with his own hands."

"Isn't that allied lord being manipulated by the" God of the Other Skies "...?

Makina won't answer Yuma's questions - no, no.

I can't answer that. I looked like that. Is the emotional shaking that Makina showed due to the conflict between her feelings for the Alliance lord and the fact that the Alliance lord turned against the enemy?

"... I will use the power of the 'Magic Instrument' to vanish with a god from the sky."

"Nh...!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa... I didn't hear you say that, or that you're in such a role... uhh!

A giant fist was thrown into the rising sow - in the meantime, it was Verlaine's summoned 'Wiper' who broke into it.

"Kh... what...?!

In response to Verlaine's summons, the Guardian's arm, which emerged from the void, slightly diverted the attack of the Titan's arm and avoided hitting.

"In the end, I was going to finish everything with the Alliance Lord. I live longer than you think... this life is to serve the Lord's purpose."

"... can you definitely defeat the god of the sky with that magical instrument? It's not a bet, it's just a suicide...!

"Dad... that's right, Makina-san! If you're dying for someone else, you must never...!

"What do you know about me and the Allied lord?"

The giant's arm shifts - the next moment, two fists come at me.

Pure destructive power due to huge mass, hardness, and speed. There is only one way to counter it, an equivalent destructive force.

"Father!

"Master...!

― ― Zero Magic Sword (Spirit Blade) Ultimate Reinforcement (Endryze) ―

A zero-type blade that strengthens the unnamed sword to its limit and entrusts it to my shadow.

--- Shura residue and instantaneous metastasis--

"--Ooooooo!

Fists and slashes collide to offset - explosively condensed forces can bounce at their limits.

"Yuma, I didn't mean to fight Makina! She's lost!

Yuma, who was wrapped and protected by the wings of Verlaine's summoned "Winged One", had already begun praying when the wings opened.

"God of Albain... help me save my lost soul...!

Yuma starts singing the hymn - a tone created by the "Soul Wave" that can't be avoided by blocking the sound.

"Nh... ah... ah...!

Makina raised her voice of suffering. But Yuma's songs continued to echo as she enveloped them, filling a vast space.
