□ ■

In the middle of the Mountains, there are mountains where people should never set foot.

Although it is the Tianlong's nest, there are only two dragons in this mountain. The other heavenly dragons stay away from this mountain first.

Still, "Don't just walk into this mountain," Tian, who lives in the West, has been telling him for hundreds of years. Even the law of the Kingdom of Alter specifies that entry into Mount Sky is to be punishable by a maximum sentence.

The reasons for this are clear.

Because the dragons that inhabit this mountain are more terrifying than any other creature.

Its name is [Even to Tenryu King Drag].

It is the most powerful Tenryu who has lived and died (...) and continued to rise (...) from the pre-civilized era in previous periods.

A presence that is not even on record now, but that once destroyed numerous countries.

At its end, it also fought against a being called “incarnation," defeated and died, and now lives.

The most fearful organism that has transcended life and death… No, life and death (...).

That is [Tenryu King].

"... remembered"

On the throne at the top of Mount Tenryu, [King Tenryu] woke up a white giant and said so.

At the top of this mountain there is only [Tenryu King] and those in the shape of two people (...).

"Father. I remember, what?

It was one of them who reacted to the words of [Tenryu King].

The figure was that of a person, but he is not human.

of the "humanized" Tenryu, it is also the top of the list.

His name is [Hui Long Wang Drag Flare].

He is the first child of [Tenryu King] and a being with the second power of Tenryu.

The only reason I'm serving in a person's appearance is because 'when he shows himself, this throne room becomes narrow'.

"It's that [Gloria]. I've seen that one before."

"True?

"Oh, son of [Dead Dragon King] and [Light Dragon King]. Before you were born, it was my turn to kill you because you tried to leave the mountains.

"Why... no, that's what I mean"

"Oh. As you can see, their children were malformed (...). You must have taken him away before he was mistaken. Kukukuk, those three necks with gold scales, no doubt about it. The resistance of the people made the child flee, but I didn't expect him to come out now.... Oh well '

[Heavenly Dragon King] cut the words and said this as he noticed something.

That's the "incarnate” guide. I see, I thought I had more than my parents' powers, but if they had their hands on me, I'd be convinced. At that price, you mean it's been sealed somewhere before? But I didn't want to go for this mountain of heaven where I am, but for the capital of men... Kukukuk, the contract with the incarnate who retrieved him.

…………

Nor does [King Hui Long], the first child, understand the meaning of his father's words.

[Tenryu King], who lives before civilization in earlier periods, knows too much about other dragons… what other creatures do not know.

[Heavenly Dragon King] has barely communicated his knowledge to his own child either.

Conversely, even if you know them, you can live... it's about [Tenryu King] that can continue to exist.

Otherwise, it has been destroyed by “incarnation” at the time of learning.

[Heavenly Dragon King] is indestructible, whether he kills or seals it, but because of this, he is just abandoned in a deal with the “incarnation”.

'Hmm. But I wonder what's going on. I also have a contract with the Incarnate. We can't get out of this Mount Sky unless we have all the conditions. Alqual asked me to do that, but I can't move.'

Alqual, is the original name of [Thunder Dragon King].

Dragon kings similar to [Dragon kings] are fixed to [drag] something at the time they become < UBM >. But intelligent dragons often call each other by their original names.

"Father, let me take care of that dragon."

"You can't."

The first child's words, [Tenryu King] truncated in one word.

"If you're up to 100, you can't die in the junction. But you haven't crossed a hundred walls. Beyond that wall, we can't beat [Gloria], who also captured resources as < UBM > that had been cracked by Alqual and gained strength."

If < UBM > defeats < UBM >, that's not the same as if people defeated < UBM >.

People get privileges according to their abilities, but in the case of < UBM > they get pure power. If you put it like a game, it means you get a huge amount of experience.

In addition, there was the effect of "raising the upper limit of the level if the UBM is defeated", but [Gloria], which is < SUBM >, doesn't make a lot of sense.

Also, some < UBM > individuals will increase their power like benefit weapons simultaneously with their ability to "capture the power of the opponent they defeated," but this is also irrelevant now.

In any case, [Gloria], who was already < SUBM >, had further strengthened its power by defeating the mythical superior [Thunder Dragon King].

"In the first place, you can't settle forever if you fight him, even me. My spear will not engage with him, and he will not destroy the immortal me. Even if it is settled, by then this continent will be much quieter (...). Sounds stupid. '

Imagine the result, [Tenryu King] laughs with a knuckle.

"No? Or maybe both incarnations will go out to pack up. Is that exciting too? But when you do, don't lack the uplift just for being a front.... Kukukuku, a shame, a shame '

…………

[Heavenly Dragon King] watches the survival of nations and continents as if they were playing on board or watching a play on stage.

... No, what he looks down and enjoys may be about the prosperity of all life, including himself.

The scale of the most transcendent living and dead things on this continent is something that the rest of us and his first child who hears the words don't understand.

"But can't we just look? I have Alqual's last wish."

That's [Thunder Dragon King] 's final word.

The desire to take [Gloria] to protect the world of men and the < Boundary Mountains > where the Tenryu resides.

To the extent that it did not hinder it, [Tenryu King] had a love for the third child.

'I can't leave. My son can't win. Then we'll have to ask a third party to represent us.'

"I see."

So the second person who had previously remained silent...... the second person shaped (...) spoke out.

"So you're asking me (...) to crusade [Gloria], right?

His name is - [King of Crimes] Zex Würfel.

He is a < super > native of the kingdom and a major criminal wanted in various countries, including the kingdom.

And... he is one of the few who has become the acquaintance of [Tenryu King].

◆

The reason Zex got to know [Tenryu King] was something terribly simple.

That was nothing more than a major crime (...) because entering Mount Sky was a capital punishment under the laws of the kingdom.

Sinful, Zex who only has the purpose of "becoming a bad man".

Intrusion into Mount Sky was one of the greatest sins in the kingdom, and it was enough reason for him to move aggressively.

So Zex went into Mount Sky alone and engaged [King Hui Long], who went into defense.

[King Hui Long] has been haunted by the increase in the number of intruders over the past few years… especially the race known as < Master >.

He was pioneering himself and those who were trying to crusade his father to get the privilege, and he was working on kicking it.

But Zex drew a line with the intruders until then.

At the time of the invasion, Zex had reached < super >, and his power was not even pulled by the mythical [King Hui Long].

[King Hui Long], who excels in offense, and Zex, who excels in defense, the battle between the two presented the appearance of a thousand Japanese hands.

But what stopped it was the mundane voice unleashed by [the Tenryu King], who had watched the battle with pleasure.

'Speaking of which, how did you get here?',.

Both [Heavenly Dragon King] and [Hui Dragon King] thought at first, as with previous intruders, that the mythological privileges, or honors, gained by crusading were the aim.

But Zex's eyes fighting [King Hui Long] were terribly pure.

There's nothing appetizing about it, and honor doesn't look as if you want it.

Then he asked me why I was fighting, and the answer Zex gave me was earlier, 'Because it was a great sin'.

'Cause breaking into Mount Sky was the biggest crime in the kingdom'

'Right. But breaking into Mount Sky is a sin, but crusading us is not a sin. "

"Then I'll stop."

To the words of [Tenryu King], Zechs caught the spear lightly.

It was the end of a really light battle, so much so that [King Hui Long], who was fighting, was frightened and had no voice.

[Heavenly Dragon King] laughed heavily at Zex's behavior and liked it.

Since then, Zex has been invited by the [Tenryu King] to climb Mount Sky.

As a kingdom invited, but unaware of such circumstances, it counts the sins of Zex every time it breaks in.

Zex also thought, 'I didn't know it would be a sin just to climb, it's a good place,' etc., but he was invited by [Tenryu King] every time to talk to the public.

[King Hui Long] beside [King Tenryu] said, "Is this good?" Even though I thought so, I ended up following my father's intentions. In addition, I had a friendship with Zex while I was talking.

Or maybe he was hungry for a conversation with someone other than his father, too.

And today, a week after [Gloria] 's emergence, Zex was also invited to [Tenryu King].

◆

"If you'll take on his crusade, let me reward you. I haven't even decided what to give yet, but this [Tenryu King] guarantees to give you enough consideration '

"It's been a long time since I've taken this quest."

"... you said you were also run away by an organization that mediates crime before"

"Sadly"

There are organizations like the Adventurer Guild that can also order quests between outlaws.

but this Zex was even feared by such organizations as criminals of < super >. There is anecdote that by the time Zex caught the information that "there is an organization that will mediate crime" and turned to the mood, the mediation organization had withdrawn from the kingdom as if fleeing at night.

"Besides, you won't be in trouble if [Gloria] destroys your kingdom."

"And say?

"Assuming the kingdom is destroyed, your sins, which the kingdom has accounted for so far, will be written off. That would be troublesome, wouldn't it?

"... you're in trouble"

With a serious face, Zex said so.

Ordinary criminals would love it, but the purpose of this man is to lay down his sins and become a bad man.

Therefore, if they say "sin will be written off," etc., they will have trouble the other way around.

"But Father. Zex and I are one another. Even if I ask for a crusade, if I can't win, neither can Zex."

'Maybe. But you can't take him down, and Zex can take him down. [Gloria]

……

[King Hui Long] looks surprised.

[Tenryu King] said it was like [Gloria] has more than one (...).

"I see. Is that still what that (...) is about"

But the Zex nodded in the wind that he was good at it.

"Heh heh, you see?"

"Yeah. I saw the battle footage of the Babylonian Battlemen, too. And newspapers with field photos."

…………

I didn't know what [King Tenryu] was talking about, not knowing the sights he had seen and not reading the newspapers of the world, but I suspected that something would have convinced these two.

He knew perfectly well that he would not otherwise be in conversation with his clueless father and friends while also recirculating to some extent.

"Then this I will go into that search. Probably not even in your eyes (...)?

"On the contrary, it shows where you are."

"Right. Well, there won't be time, and excuse me for this."

'Oh.... yes. I'll teach you one thing that motivates you. "

"That [Gloria] was sent by a presence that manages this world to create a new < super >. Hence. '

[Heavenly Dragon King] tells Zex this as he distorts the edge of his mouth.

"Defeating a new super before it's born - let's just say a great sin against the will of heaven (...)"

"Oh - that's good"

Zex, who wants sin more than anyone else... ran down Mount Sky with a deep grin.

◆

'Now, what good is the reward for Zex? Even my daughter will marry me. "

"Father, I have no sisters that I can put out to my daughter-in-law. My sister once went down to [King of Champions] and was sealed, and my older sister is serving Katherine Vajra. My younger sister would still be too young."

"Kukukuku, that's what happened."

After Zex leaves, [Tenryu King] seems to enjoy talking about it.

At the same time, I was eagerly awaiting to watch the final act of the battle against [Gloria], which was going to happen.

'Nevertheless, I never tire of watching the world these days. The days of [the king] and the days of [the king of the holy sword] were so boring after they were over.... I'm also tempted to live because of these events'

Father.

"Kukukuk, if you live forever, you'll understand."

With some tired, mixed-minded eyes, [Tenryu King] vomits his words.

"But you won't live long enough in hundreds of years. You too... Alqual too '

"... Father?

With that said, [Tenryu King] wakes himself up.

"Well... suppose it's time to give it back"

It was a wave of incomprehensible words that leaked out of [Heavenly Dragon King] 's mouth that whined so.

It is not the language of human beings, it is not the language of non-human beings, it is not the language of dragons, it is not the ancient language of previous periods of civilization.

Spinning to sing a much older word, [Tenryu King] said this at the end.

"-" Havens Lisa Collection "

Immediately after that proclamation, a vast column of energy and light rises from the body of [Tenryu King].

Its energy converges in front of [Tenryu King] 's eyes and eventually takes shape.

It has limbs, long necks and tails, creatures with huge wings - dragons.

That dragon that wrapped thunder around his whole body was - [Thunder Dragon King Dragvort].

Yes, [Thunder Dragon King] was supposed to have been killed by [Gloria].

"Nah!? Alqual!? Why, you should be dead......!

[King Hui Long] is stunned by the appearance of his brother, who came back to life in front of him.

Resuscitable time...... I'm not talking about anywhere.

He resurrected [Thunder Dragon King], who should have even turned flesh into dust of light in the land away from here.

Resurrection from nothing, considered impossible by how good [necromancers] are.

One of the few currently exercisable...... only two.

That is [Even to Tenryu King Drag].

'Right. Speaking of which, I never showed you guys. Kukukuku, I've been using it for thousands of years....... Hmm, still don't shred (...)'

But [Thunder Dragon King] is not the same as in his lifetime.

Its body is smaller once and twice, and the thunder it emits didn't make it feel as powerful as it used to be.

Above all, the name displayed overhead was not [Thunder Dragon King Dragvort], but the pure dragon race name [High-end Lightning Dragon].

"Ko, where are they? I'm supposed to be dead... '

He uttered words in the wind that he could not understand what had happened when consciousness had returned.

'I was lucky, Alqual. If it had been a man who had defeated you, it would have turned you into a man's weapon, all of his soul and concepts. It was untouched except for resources, so it could be reconfigured.'

"Father..."

From that word, Arqual understood it was his father who recalled himself for the loss of his life.

"But [Thunder Dragon King] 's name has been lost, and the resources that were helping you have been taken away by [Gloria]. There is also the recoil and weakening that I pulled back. You're just a dragon now. I'll be training to regain my strength for a while."

'... Yes. But, Father! That mad dragon who killed me...!

"He's alive. We will destroy the Duke's land, destroy the ancient castle forts, and soon reach the king's capital. '

"... ugh!

In its eyes, the anger that has taken even the lives of its friends burns.

with strength on those limbs that have just been resurrected,

"Don't go out there (...)?"

The gaze and words held the pressure and stopped Arqual from moving.

"You can no longer be on the stage with your power."

……

[Thunder Dragon King]... Alqual himself understood the words of my father more than anyone else.

He realized that his full power was incomparably weak.

"Father... I am! I resent my lack of power...!

Alqual mourns that there would not have been a tragedy that would have lasted if he had won that mad dragon.

'Kakaka, you can mourn. That mourning will feed your training. How many times have I also lost, mourned, died, resurrected, and gained strength? I can't even count anymore. "

"Father..."

"But that mad dragon... put the end of [Gloria] in people's hands"

[Heavenly Dragon King] sees somewhere far away... the three-necked dragon that ravages the kingdom and the human figure who prepares to fight it.

'Shall we see? of the kingdom… a battle that betrayed the survival of the human race'

And deepen your grin,

"And sooner or later, the battle outpost."

I couldn't wait to squeal like that.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ Wangdu Althea/Royal Castle deepest

As the ears and eyes of the Royal Castle gathered to negotiate with uninvited or awaited guests during the sight, at the deepest end of the Royal Castle, a girl sat on her bed.

Her name is Teresia C. Alter.

She is the third princess of this Alter kingdom and the girl who lives in the room of the sterile and healing junction in the deepest part of the royal castle because of her natural infirmity.

Unlike his elder sister, who was chosen as the [original Holy Sword] to be passed on to the kingdom by birth, and his younger sister, who exhibits excessive activity and naivety, Theresia spends most of it in the royal castle without ever walking outside...... inside this room.

She stays quiet in her own room even while the castle makes noise with the signing of a life-threatening contract to [the pact] imposed on the royal family by negotiating with [the papal princess] Susan Moon Night. Although there were circumstances where only a young girlfriend and one older sister were exempt from signing anything that had nothing to do with the noise.

…………

Theresia stared at a point in the universe as if it were a cat, but accidentally shifted that gaze to the door.

"Hissing. Mr. Kigurmi."

'... oh'

Standing there was a... raccoon (...) wearing a mustache.

"You're not a chameleon today."

'Cause this also comes with Signs Blocking skills. Unlike that one, there is no Optical Camouflage, but it's pretty thin here today, so I stayed put.

The man wearing the name [Q Polar Guru Mizuru Fun... Roa] - [Destroyer] Shu Sterling, one of the kingdoms proud < Super >, walked over to Theresia and stopped in a position where it was easy to have a conversation.

Theresia snarls her nose and sniffs something.

"It's a smell I don't know. Were you going somewhere?

"It's Cardina. I was dealing with a magical idiot who liked to play with the sand '

That's it, Shu vomits words to regret something.

"... it took me a week to come back to the kingdom"

A week. That's the number of days [Gloria] has been fierce in this kingdom.

He found out the news of [Gloria] 's appearance and then immediately arrived on his way home.

But even though he was, it took so long to return to the kingdom beyond the great desert of Cardina.

"We have to stop now."

To Shu, Theresia comforts... not just tells him this as a fact.

"In the first place, it's not like Mr. Kigurmi has a gim to say [Gloria]. is Jiyuu. Is that what this is all about?

'... oh. But I heard it over there, but isn't it the worst case scenario?

"They say Althea could be a lot. Even in this shilo, Gijo and the others were wasting their time."

"And the number of people who work isn't down."

"Everybody's got a tight sequinine. I wish I could scowl."

Theresia's words were the tongueless voices of a young girl.

But the content of the word was an adult of a different age.

Theresia would be a sight to make you feel strongly uncomfortable, because in real life she's not even in elementary school yet.

But the person she talks to in this way is limited.

Two and one...... only in front of Shu in front of me and her pet giant hamster, and a certain major criminal who once grabbed her.

Think of it, the exchange between Shu and Theresia, who visit the room in this way, also began with that kidnapping, but that's a story we shouldn't be telling right now.

'... everyone runs away, and what are you gonna do then?

"I won't do anything about it. Of all the queasy things that have been loosened by this shiro, what I want... is what I don't want. I'm guessing this shiro is going to make [Gloria]."

Wait for [Gloria] to wipe out humans below the surrounding level 499 by expanding the Endangered Realm. It meant death without even fixing it.

But Theresia goes on to say things as if she had nothing in particular to think about dying.

"I wish I could look at Saigo.... Oh, then you won't be able to grab this Althea. Maybe it's better than a hickey cuckooing at all of Oukoku's lyods."

'... what happened to your pet Dormouth (...)?

"Doe won't be here. I'm sure every odor (...) is annoying." The tow is too much, "he said," and I don't think it's the same as Yotei. "

…………

Shu comes up with something about the content of her words.

But to such a shu, Theresia overlaps words.

"Mr. Kigurumi, you'd better do something about it. Whatever Mr. Kigurumi might do,"

Theresia tells Shu that it's better to fight, run, or choose another path, faster.

But that only encouraged Shu to make his choice, and it did not indicate the answer he wanted me to choose.

"............... Theresia"

To her like that...... Shu took off the head of the dressing goose and faced it face-to-face.

"Is that okay with you, Teresia?

Shu inquires, gazing directly and upright.

Still, there was no sway in Theresia's eyes.

"Ultimia. Sasama has Niju the Chikara and Sekim as Diichioujo, which have become good. But this is just how easy it is for me, and I'm only (...) scared. It's Fukouhei who doesn't mix chowdzilli here."

After saying that, Theresia... smiles like a child for the first time.

"Besides, Elizabeth, I don't want you to go to Jiyuu. Therefore, I will grab my makeshift chicaratus here to cover my wanting mackerel."

That is not a word of readiness......

The words she unleashed at a young age, they are not.

I'm just... picking something that's important to me.

That was the word of a girl who chose her favorite family over her own life.

…………

Before she made such a choice, Shu...

"... a bear who goes home because I remember errands"

That's what I said, I turned my back on Theresia.

"Oh, what do you got?

"Walk"

Returning that to Teresian inquiry, Shu, dressed in a raccoon, left Teresian room.

◇

Escaping in the castle without anyone understanding him, Shu, who also left the aristocratic city, leads to the alley of the Wang capital.

The boulevard is full of refugees, but it's not popular in alleys the other way around.

Shu, walking alone in such an alley, accidentally leaked to himself.

'After all, he... you never told me to fight'

If Shu, who is Super, can fight and win, [Gloria] 's King's Capital can be prevented from reaching.

Tian's life in the king's capital is helpful.

Theresia doesn't have to die, either.

Still, Theresia, who knows Shu as the [Destroyer King], did not say "fight" to Shu.

Rather, in the worst possible outcome, I was thinking about those who wanted to do what I had to do… to protect them.

That's like saying that it's only at that moment that she has her own birth meaning......

"That's not... it's too early for him."

When Shu punched the wall with the frustration that arose in his heart, Shu's fisted brick abandoned house collapsed in one blow.

But there are no shadows around, nothing to make a scene about.

Therefore, Shu tried to keep walking.

"- You seem very frustrated, Shu."

I stopped to the voice I was called from behind.

'... I've felt my gaze since I was in Cardina, but I knew it was you. Humpty (...)'

If Shu looked back, there was a heterogeneous presence floating in the middle of the alley.

creatures covered in thin membranes of ovals similar to eggs.

Inside, you look like a human girl.

Depending on what you see, you'll also look like a nobleman in a curtain, or a bride wearing a veil.

She is the management AI II in charge of Embrio - Humpty Dumpty.

For Shu, it's someone we've already encountered many times.

'Yes, it's Cardina....... you guys didn't let go of a fucking dragon like [Gloria] in anticipation of when I was in Cardina (...)?

"I won't deny it. 'Cause unlike [the superfighter] and [the pope] and [the criminal king], you're going to take the initiative to settle things, aren't you? Something extraordinarily popular with roots."

He didn't show one bad face for Shu's query, but rather grinned and Humpty said so.

"Even if you can't win on your own, [Gloria] 's skills will become more familiar at that point if you fight. Then measures will be put in place, and the limits of the other < masters > cannot be measured. - It's hard to make a new one."

That's what Hampti said with a full grin, that's what it was all about.

"[Sword King] had sights, but I'm sure not anymore. Because it broke. Speaking of which, if Embrio hadn't broken it would have been super. Maiden's ■ ■ ■ is activated the more distressed…"

"I'll just say one thing"

In her previous battle with [Gloria], she gave some examples that most likely led to < Super >, but... such things didn't matter to Shu.

Instead, if you're saying that Humpty in front of you made this case for it, Shu doesn't ask for it the other way around.

"I can't believe we're not born in that fucking dragon fight."

Therefore, I deny it.

it is his proclamation, and thus closes with the

"That fucking dragon... we'll destroy it."

It is Shu's proclamation as - [Destroyer King].

……………………

To Shu's words, no, to the will that came from his words, Humpty loses his words.

Shu turns his back on such a humpty and walks out again.

There is a [Gloria] marching towards the Wang capital - towards the < Novest Canyon > northwest of the Wang capital...

◇ ◆

After Shu left, Humpty was left alone in the alley.

There are still no figures around.

In the first place, it is anomalous that even though the building collapses, not one of the guards comes. The alley was deserted because this Humpty was paying for it by any means.

But that's not important to Humpty right now.

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Humpty laughs out.

In a curtain-like membrane, in a transparent shell, a management AI looking like a girl laughs.

That's because her chosen < master > was what she wanted.

No, it's not. It's the same behavior, but... because the will to communicate was far more powerful than she imagined.

"Shu. That's why I like you. I never get tired of watching more tuners (< master >) than you... when I lived (...) there wasn't even one person"

That's how Humpty... TYPE: Classified Infinite Body < Infinite Embrio > imagined what was going to happen and laughed with joy.

To be continued
