□ ■ Calcheratan and mountainous areas

An aerial battleship [Vaster] that separates from the multi-legged tank [Akra] and ascends over it.

It's not Tom and the Marshal who just shut up and overlook that.

Tom attacks with bows and arrows and throws, and the marshal's doll shoots from the ground.

It was a half-tracked attack, but shows the two unexpected results.

That's what the attack that didn't make sense at the time of the merger was doing for air battleships.

If hit, the armor scratches, or penetrates and sprays flames.

The similarly attacking multi-legged tank remains intact, but the aerial battleship is easily destroyed.

But...

"The damage is slowly healing?

He said it was a machine made of metal, but he was repairing the scratches on the hull one by one.

Metal from armor and machines is waving and moving to fill the wounds.

The amount of damage now exceeds the amount of healing, but it would be reversed if it were escaped over the sky like this and the means of attack decreased.

"I won't let you."

"Ultra-heavy firearms, use ban lifted. Marionette Skodron Creations

Tom leaps off the ground and makes further continuous leaps stepping on his further proliferating self, attaching it to an aerial battleship.

It grows to seven on an aerial battleship, except for one who stands by on the ground just in case.

Then the marshal's doll also takes the Castle Fort defense anti-aircraft gun out of the weapon item box that [Faldreed] was carrying, and the new doll - a platoon of flying dolls (Skodron) created in the Marionette Skodron Creation - also flies.

Seven Toms chop up the armor of an air battleship, and a large-calibre anti-aircraft gun wears its hull.

In addition, [Faldreed] carries out anti-aircraft fire and the flying doll also carries a portable firearm to mount an attack from the side.

In an instant, the air battleships are filled with holes.

"- Interception"

Armor from all parts of the Aerial Battleship slides on a small scale, resulting in lenses of laser cannons that have been seen in many places inside.

The released laser shoots down a flying puppet flying around the perimeter, but it is also refilled immediately by the Marshal.

Furthermore, Tom, who runs while destroying an aerial battleship, has no exchanging technique, and for some reason, no laser gun lens has been distributed at the bottom, nor has he been able to destroy the anti-aircraft gun just below.

The Aerial Battleship has not been able to resist Tom and the Marshal's attack.

Laser cannons, sensors, and unmanned bridges are all going to be destroyed.

And finally, important parts… even the large power reactor and the main artificial intelligence were destroyed.

Too lightly, the aerial battleship is cut off from its own lifeline.

In response, the Marshal is convinced of the destruction.

"You did it!...... ugh!? '

- But [Acra Vaster] began the restoration as a matter of course.

"... No, no, if they crushed the core, they broke it."

The two will continue to destroy in dismay, but the recovery of the air battleship will not stop.

In human terms, it equals being crushed in the brain, heart, and lungs, but it continues to repair and surf regardless.

That was too creepy a phenomenon.

Exchanging it is one of the features of [Acra Vaster], the Mutual Complementary Repair Function.

[Acra] is equipped with a system to repair [Vaster], [Vaster] is equipped with [Acra]. No matter how much one is destroyed, the metal particles that make up the fuselage can be manipulated by that system and restored to their original shape.

Naturally, if it continues to be destroyed, there will also be insufficient metal particles for restoration.

With that in mind, both machines store item boxes filled with metal particles in the most indestructible blocks.

It has been mined, extracted, generated and stored from the ground over two thousand years, but two (...), three hundred times (...) have both stored enough metal particles to be repairable even if completely destroyed.

"What do you mean?

"This isn't the main body, it's just part of the guy downstairs? No, I did... No way." Mutual Repair Function "?

…… But was the theory the only one found?... Wait, how did you get that? '

When the two of them strongly questioned its immortality and also began to lay their hands on the answer, the altitude of the air battleship reached roughly 1000 meters above ground.

Just as he waited for the < ruins > to disappear directly below, [Acra Vaster] waited for his own half to reach that altitude.

- "Spatial Dilution"

That's how the air battleship activated its unique skills… the surrounding space transformed.

◇

"Spatial Dilution" made multiple changes at the same time, but it was another person who noticed each change.

'... what?

It was the Marshal who noticed the first change.

In an instant, the link with the flight platoon was broken.

The effective range of remote operation of the doll is 100,000 meters in all.

Whether underground or in some kind of junction, control continues if it is within range.

Even though I say so, the reaction I get back from the flight platoon is something called 'out of effective range of control'.

From the flying platoon, which is visible from the ground, the reaction is returned that the distance is far.

A lost flight platoon is shot down by a laser.

At the same time, the Marshal was aware of further anomalies.

Anti-aircraft guns were hitting the air battleship hard until earlier.

But now, no matter how many shots you shoot, it's like... it won't arrive (...).

Even though he says it's still an effective range, the shell stalls before it reaches the air battleship, drawing parabolas and falling to the ground.

The marshal felt chilly at the difference between what he was seeing and what was happening around the air battleship.

◇

…… ……

The second change I noticed was Tom.

The anomaly he felt was that he was speechless and unable to breathe.

If the body is a growing beast, this tom is still a human avatar.

I'm not making human separation enough to live without breathing.

In addition, those seven eyes capture the surrounding sight.

Until recently, the streets of Calcellatan were clearly visible even from above the aerial battleship. It's only about 10000 meters of altitude.

But - it doesn't even look like a bean grain right now.

As if on a cloud...... no, looking down from a higher place than that.

Plus, even looking up - the sky is too far away.

Even the brilliance of the sun that was visible to the east is too small.

It was, however, as if he had been suddenly thrown into a vast different space.

(This is a "spatial dilution" and its secondary effects...... vacuum condition! This guy, after all, RedKing... mimic some of [Infinite Space] 's spatial manipulation abilities...!

Chesha, who moves Tom, realizes who the phenomenon is and makes an attack to destroy [Vaster] and stop it, but makes no sense before restoring it.

Little by little, the seven Toms burst their eyes and blood vessels from the inside out in a vacuum world, desperate.

◇

The last change I noticed was the Rays trying to get close to the mountain where the battle was taking place.

What they saw was falling objects.

Several fins grown by aerial battleships similar to whales.

Some of them... peeled off and fell off.

"Falling... not coming?

And they thought they'd settle right on the ground, and they're not falling.

Peeled and immediately stationary...... no, it's falling at a really slow rate.

Slowly fins fall to the ground more than they did when they dropped balloons with just air, not helium.

It's accelerating a little bit, but it's still slow, so much so that it'll land on the ground fluttering as it is.

"- Everybody, get away from me right now!! Or I'll die!!"

From Tom on the ground, I heard a scream that he wouldn't normally even be able to emit.

The Rays have no reason to know, but that's a voice that doesn't even sound that way when they express their nature as Chesha.

A voice of warning when faced with a truly dangerous situation.

"Huh! Yes!

The Rays immediately change the direction of the silver and try to stay away from the falling course at all.

The Marshal also hears Tom's voice again and makes a new flight platoon, trying to distance himself on its back.

Tom, who issued the warning, also rushes in the direction of pieces to increase his survival slightly while growing again.

Tom's warning is correct.

That fin...... just a heavy metal mass (...) is what makes [Acra Vaster] the biggest weapon.

◆

Spatial Dilution.

It's a (...) skill to widen the perimeter of an aerial battleship [Vaster].

Specifically, the radius 1000 meters is diluted up to a radius of 300,000 meters… 300 times (...).

Not only can that change be made to the real world, but a limited change in the radius 1000 Metel's junction space.

This is a limited ability that cannot be used if there is a mass other than itself - ground, etc. - within a radius of 1000 meters, and that's why it was surfacing.

As the Rays and Marshals had seen, nothing would appear to have changed from outside the junction of "Spatial Dilution".

But not inside, like Tom was watching. Inside the junction of the radius 1000 Metel, the space is three hundred times wider.

Therefore, anti-aircraft guns will not arrive. Because even if it looks like an effective range from the outside, it's actually three hundred times as far away.

And the total amount of gas molecules does not change even in a space that has expanded up to 27 million times in volume, and the concentration of air will be one in 27 million.

Because of the junction, there is no air coming in from the outside world.

You can almost say vacuum. No organism can survive in that world, bursting like Tom.

But this atmospheric condition is conceiving another horrible property.

Typically, in an atmospheric star, there is a limit to the rate at which an object falls.

That is because of the presence of air resistance in the atmosphere, and objects that have accelerated into it from outside the atmosphere without air are also burned out with the plasma produced by the significant deceleration, or air compression, with it.

As such, falling in the atmosphere takes a lot of braking.

But suppose......

with an air resistance of one in 27 million,

There are 300,000 meters of falling distance,

Plus, if there was room for gravity acceleration to continue to work properly.

How much kinetic energy would you get before the fallout crashes into the ground?

◇

Fins that drop the junction of "Spatial Dilution" and accelerate to about seven times the speed of sound collide to the ground.

It's just a meteorite.

Instantly, hundreds of meters of craters were generated, and powerful shockwaves that instantly grind objects were scattered over several times that distance, and minor shockwaves to the extent that the glass was broken were transmitted to all of Calcellatan.

The landing point - the dolls present in the vicinity of the multi-legged tank [Accra] evaporated for the most part. The only tolerated [Faldreed] is also distorted by the burst pressure of the fall, which blows up hundreds of meters.

And the [Acra] of the blast site was intact from all of its shock waves by Spatial Fixation.

That was a natural consequence. [Acra Vaster] is a weapon created to operate in this way from the beginning.

[Acra] will not break in the bombing of [Vaster].

Even if it breaks, it will be repaired as soon as [Vaster] is present.

Repair continues even if airframes with different spatial manipulation capabilities are destroyed as long as they exist with each other.

Restoration will not stop unless both systems of the two planes' Mutual Complementary Restoration Functions are destroyed.

Conversely, if we destroy both systems at the same time, we can no longer repair them.

But that means you have to attack both the unbreakable [Acra (shell)] and the unreachable [Vaster (sky)].

That is impossible by ordinary means.

If you fight, nothing can get fat, only the enemies around you will perish with [Vaster] 's kinetic energy bombardment.

Assuming it's "The Incarnation of the Beast," this [Acra Vaster] will not be defeated.

That was the original concept of [Acra Vaster] that Flagman conceived.

It was 37% complete, including measures to increase firepower and respond to other “incarnations", but it is no exaggeration to say 100% against “beast incarnations” weapons.

Prior period civilization… [Acra Vaster], the corner of the most powerful weapon entrusted by the masterful flagman with a sense of killing for “incarnation” and hope for the future, was exercising all of its performance.

◇

The shockwave of kinetic energy bombings created by the intent to kill civilizations in earlier periods also strikes those who escape direct strikes.

Six of the eight Toms vanished in shock waves.

"Huh!? Silva aaaaaaa!!"

The Rays were also out of range of lethal shockwaves because they were away from the start, but they were still hit by powerful shockwaves.

The shockwaves that come pounding are critically outnumbered by the biggest "wind hoof" rolled out aggressively and the black circle shield nemesis's bunk defense.

And the marshal,

――――

We got caught in a shock wave in the air and the flight platoon smashed.

Shortly afterwards, he himself was blown away by a shock wave, … falling from several hundred meters high to the ground with his whole body bones crushed.
