■ About him

Motor...... Motor Cortana was born in a famous house in Cortana.

Having the same name as the city (Cortana) is the descendant of the great merchant who made the city.

It was a privileged family that produced the mayor of Cortana many times.

Motor's father was also the mayor, and Motor himself vaguely thought that he would be the mayor after or after his father.

But the outlook for the future ended with my father's sudden death.

Motor's father's death was rumored to be both morbid and poisoned, but the truth was unclear and serious.

An agent who was supposed to have a "verdict of authenticity" also somehow labyrinthed the case.

And the rooting of Douglas Coyne, who became mayor after his father, prevented the Cortana family from being in Cortana. Some made up their sins, and some received sudden death, as did their father.

My mother also died and was separated from her sister, the only remaining flesh parent.

His life, which should have been a smooth sail, was at some point a trail.

That's how he entered a group of street childrens who make a living from sledding and stealing to live.

From there it's all about crime. Even when I got a job, I continued to take it away from people, eventually becoming a super position, and starting to make hunting successful in a business.

He doesn't know exactly why he started hunting for the successful either.

Strongly speaking, the opposite of him who lost everything in just a few moments… because he had dark feelings for the successful builders of tremendous wealth in a single quest?

Either way, because of his vocation, he was defeated by Rascal and became a modified body.

And now it's relative to something you should never touch.

To myself now like that...... he thought only one thing.

How could my life have been so...... I kept stepping off, I wondered.

◆ ◆ ◆

■ Royal City 4th Floor

In the wake of Theresia's ultimatum, the motor was in the abyss of despair.

"If you don't go home, it's over," Teresian words say, and all the cells in the motor like no other.

…………

The motor and if I can pull back here, I'm pulling back.

I can't go down there, which is why I feel so anxious.

(... oh, what... this...)

The motor thinks.

I wondered where I stepped off the road.

When I chose to change people at Rascal's suggestion?

When you attacked Rascal?

When you made your business hunting for the successful in.

When you joined a street childrens criminal gang?

When the Cortana family fell into one place?

(Son of a...! My life, how could he...!

I'm not saying I was unlucky.

Motor moaned as to why he misselects at the point of need.

But this time it's a little different.

This time with the first... same as the fall of the Cortana family.

The motor itself does not even have the right (...) to choose.

"You can't leave, you can't choose to leave..."

"My body doesn't respect my will."

He put it into words that this time he doesn't even have a choice in the first place.

"I have Embrio in my body. If I disobey my orders, my body will be...

In the middle of the word, the motor's body moves against his will.

"Son of a bitch La Crima......!

Doing it is a split of Idea mixed up in his body.

It was Idea Split, who decided that secret disclosure would contravene orders, that took control of his flesh.

And apparently less precise manipulation than he is, trying to make a special attack on a desperate opponent.

Even bugs flying into the fire would have a slightly higher survival rate.

'I don't want to die......! I don't want to die in this way......!

Screaming with a mouth to be free, the body of the motor...... [Wespertiglio Idea] was moved by the Idea Split and carried out a deadly assault.

…………

Theresia still sees it with no emotion.

But inadvertently, both hands were (...) met (...).

That's faster than [Wespertilio], which is supposed to be supersonic.

A huge arm grew from the floor to interact with the hand she met - smashing [Wespertiglio].

"but ah......"

No, I didn't smash it.

Though he crushes bones all over his body and completely restrains his movements... he's still alive.

"... I don't like it. Performance is higher than before. I knew you were on a higher level..."

She grumbled like she was in trouble for doing more damage than she thought.

Both arms of the rock that grew from the floor...... her family (...).

A monster who fought a motor in the hallway the other day.

Unlike those made automatically in reaction to danger, however, these two arms are relatives created by Theresia of her own free will.

Different digits in speed and accuracy.

That's what was creating monsters comparable to the Epic class in today's One Action.

…………

It became an excessive attack, but the motor's body stopped.

"Daw."

Theresia said only one word, but approached the motor with the domouse caught between her hands, which I perceived her will.

And Theresia, close to the motor, reached out softly,

"... this could be it"

- Idea split was removed from the motor's body.

…………⁉

The motor is stunned in a half-dead state.

Because he took away the idea split, which should have been completely integrated into the flesh, so that even the caterpillars in the leaves of the tree could pinch it.

There was no way to care about him like that, and Theresia gripped it lightly like a nut rather than a caterpillar.

But soon, intense suffering will strike his body.

"Gu, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... ⁉"

"... I want you to go home because I got it for you"

"Theresia, this man's body was connected by his. Reasons to fall apart if you lose the connection. In other words, there is only a gap in the body for what has been removed… '

"Oh. You did. Sorry, 'cause I didn't know."

Theresia apologizes with no expression, but the motor on the verge of being torn apart is not the other way around.

"Because Embrio is not already in there, I can also stab him in the face. That would minimize resource absorption. '

"Yes..."

"What are you thinking?

"... you don't have a connection, do you?

"Umm."

"Daw, I've got a little something on my mind."

"Mm?"

"That insurance I talked to you about before, it's just me and Doe, it's a lot harder."

"Well, because I'm not human."

"So I think we need adults, too. Shu knows what's going on, but you can't ask him to do that."

"It seems acceptable if consulted."

"... that's why. I want you to have it ready."

"Ready?... Are you going to do that?

"Is it okay if I do?

"... if you can, you just have to."

"Thanks"

Though such conversations exchanged in the abyss of death had barely reached the ears of the motor.

"Hey, you"

both of Theresia's eyes peeking into his own eyes and

"Which one do you choose to die here, or quit being human?

Someday I was stuck with an option similar to the words I heard.

…………

And the choice the motor chose...

◇ ◆

◇ ◆

After the choice, there was only Theresia and Dormouth left in that room.

"That guy's cleaned up, too, and maybe it's time to join Liliana looking for me"

Remaining faceless, but looking like a paragraph somewhere, Theresia said so.

Theresia also knew Liliana was searching for herself, but if someone was beside her in this emergency, she would have fled and hidden by herself (and one) to ensure that her identity was revealed.

Although it was found on the motor as a result, the mouth seal (...) was done.

But......

"Theresia, there is only one thing I want to say."

"What?"

"Earlier, why did you reveal the secret?

She revealed her own secret to the motor.

Even if I didn't hear an important word, if only those [evil gods] were to bring the information back to me... that would have exposed everything.

It was a Teresian who had some awakening as a [evil god] due to its excessive tortuosity, but with the help of Shu and Dormouth, it is still within the reach of being able to live as a third princess.

But earlier she was equal to trying to break down the last levee herself that she could be.

Dormouth didn't say anything because he was pressed not to do anything beforehand, but there was also confusion inside.

In the first place, it's not what it was supposed to be.

Against this opponent, Dormouse could not carry out the attack because the opponent was a tian fused with < Embrio >.

Theresia herself therefore had no choice but to deal with it, and Theresia had three options.

The first is to keep running and hiding without doing anything. The advantage is that you can minimize information exposure and combat. The disadvantage is that the defense mechanism will continue to be exposed to hazards, and there is a great danger that the safety will come off. And there would have been a possibility that humans on the kingdom's side would have been involved in a defensive mechanism attack.

The second is that Theresia kills the motor immediately. Benefits are mouthless to the dead. The downside is that Theresia will absorb the resources of the super positions she has worked out.

I can't choose between these two, and I can say that the second one in particular sucks.

The defense mechanism, which activates itself dangerously automatically if the level as [evil god] increases, is also strengthened, and judgment is even wider.

Once upon a time [evil gods] recognized psychological stress as a danger, and the environment that was causing it… there are also examples of relatives killing people around them. As a result, stress increased and the defense mechanism moved again, growing once and for all in a negative chain.

And now Teresia is the strongest [evil god] ever because of the properties that continue to be strengthened over the generations.

At the immature moment, he is approaching his predecessors [evil gods], except for the number of open skills.

The degree of enhancement due to leveling… is in an area where it is not possible to assume.

The third remaining option, therefore, is to leave the opponent in the words of Theresia, who is not judged to be a lie because of the camouflage of the [evil god]. Or it was about buying time for rescue to come.

But what she told me was the truth.

The reason for this is......

"Even if the True or False Judgment is not activated, you may find it to be a lie. Then you should tell the truth. Besides, if only I could get the information and they could pull it off this castle, that would be fine."

'What do you mean?

"Something that gives you time to escape far away. I'm not subject to Doe's peer abilities, so I'll have to walk around. I need time to escape."

"Time to escape?

"Hey, Daw. What do you think is the most avoidable situation for the Daws and for me?

"… is the start of"

"That's right. That situation should be avoided more than my dying than my inability to continue my current life. The worst thing that happens when I'm done and arr. But it's not necessarily connected to my secrets being exposed."

……

"Even if I find out I'm [■ ■ (evil god)], I can run away from the kingdom and make him disappear. If Doe is with us, most of it can be suppressed even if he leaves the line. Besides, if you weren't dealing with him, Doe would be dealing with the danger, right? The important thing for Daw is that he won't happen until Daw's purpose is achieved."

Dormouse is also convinced by the words of Theresia.

With the camouflage of [Evil God], you can't at least discover it in your job skills.

In addition, intelligence agencies such as < DIN > are also in the hands of the managing AI.

There are as many ways to get where you are.

"I'm curious how much you depend on me... is that all right?

Dormouth asked back to Theresia, who said she was leaving from under the kingdom and family she was born and raised in.

In contrast, Theresia...

"Fine. Things we think are better for each other."

With a sunny look somewhere, I answered that.

…………

Dormouse did not ask who and who that "each other" refers to.

'... well, I'm glad I didn't have to do that this time'

As a result, the mouth seal was formed.

The truth about Theresia will not be divulged.

"Right. … but either way, is it time for the tide?"

"[Evil Gods] If someone appeared for the purpose of the search, the limits might be close"

"You were different in other countries, although the threat of [■ ■] only remained in the old story in the Kingdom. Or were they even born at the high end?"

"There are many people in the world who do extra things."

"It was the Dawes who did the extra thing up to the previous generation."

"… undeniably. It's not funny. '

He continues to crusade [the evil god] with symptomatic therapy, and as a result, he is told that he has increased the strength of [the evil god] faster than normal pace, and the domouse also looks sinking.

"I'm not mad at you. It's bad in history, but the reason I'm spending so much time like this is because Daw and the others took care of it."

'... it was salvation that had an effect on the measures. Most of all, it was a failure to find the service by the time it started. "

"I only met Daw after I met Shu and Zex."

"... our grief is also a final step forward in welcoming the Master of the Earth... two steps ahead of us. Game over here, it's troublesome.

Dawmouth was deeply troubled - but it's hard to tell because he's an animal face - and groaned with his expression.

Then, uh, I leaked the word like I remembered something.

"There's no game over even if the online games are out of service," he said.

"The one?

"… is nothing"

In the manner that it was a silence, Dormouth cut the story off there.

Nor did Theresia ask any more.

"... but we were lucky this time. 'Cause I dealt with a special deal, and everything was over.'

If you are a Tian, Monster, or Mechanical Weapon, you can seal your mouth by destroying Tom like he once did when he destroyed the Brilliant Jade Soldier in Ruins.

Conversely, if it is the Master, it is the only way to deal with it.

However, it was unconscious that the special pattern of fusion between Tian and Embrio had been delayed and turned to the rear. This result is fortunate during misfortune.

'... Dutchess. Did you see or hear Teresian attacks and actions earlier?

As I recall, Dormouth called on someone who was not on the spot.

In response to the abrupt words,

[Not here... As far as my surveillance is concerned... I have no information on events, conversations, or phenomena that have taken place there... And that split... with a distant body... not always linked... wow]

- The message of a window that suddenly appeared in front of the Dormouth responded.

"It was good."

The Lord of the Message is the Management AI No. 7 Dutchess, which manages the visuals and windows of the.

Presence to manage the three types of vision while at the same time obtaining the seen and heard information of < Master > and controlling the situation.

At the request of Dormouth, we are now focusing on the presence in the King's Capital, and if the Master is likely to realize the truth about Theresia, we are supposed to tell him.

If she tells you that she has no problem, then there is certainty that no truth has been revealed.

"... if you have such a convenient surveillance network, couldn't you crush this raid beforehand either?

"The freedom of the Master cannot be tied because it is a restriction on our part of the world. In addition, Dutchess's surveillance network is incomplete. Because we spend most of our arithmetic skills on how we show our vision, there are not many people who can link information at the same time."

It was unclear to what extent the management AI called "not too much", but Teresia thought once again that there were limits to both God and equal administrators in this < Infinite Dendrogram >.

"That guy couldn't rule out Daw either... you have a lot of inconvenient restrictions"

"… There are a handful of managed AIs with the right to attack. In other words, some of our compatriots have to restrain their actions by tying them to authority."

Of the same management AI...... recalling the shortest and most aggressive existence, Dormouth sighed.

…………

Much of the information is incomplete, and there are limits as exercising authority, and the response cannot be said to be perfect.

Theresia felt a biological swing in those movements by the Dormouses.

[Dormouse…… a little… May I?]

Unexpectedly, I got a new message from Dutchess.

"What is it?

[One of you is on your way...]... Oh, offensive attitude... right]

"What?"

Shortly after such a conversation - a room in the royal castle where the Teresians were disappeared.

◇ ◆

"… Confirmation. Confirm the direct impact of nuclear fusion reactions in the Absolute Sky Control Zone.

Phantom wrapped his whole body in a bandage on the roof above the fourth floor of the royal castle...... Zeta shrugged so.

She has already confirmed the interruption of the reactions of [Regina Apis], [Alanea] and [Wespertiglio] among the alterations sent to the King's Capital.

Zeta's request from Claudia was to "indiscriminately attack strange people in the King's Capital and identify those who react peculiarly. Eliminate if possible. Stop the attack and observe if you decide it's impossible".

The request itself was left to the alterer because the designation of the target of attack was too vague.

Feeling suspicious about the disappearance of [Wespertiglio], which should have led him to one of the strangest reactions of all, Zeta temporarily interrupted the search for the beads and rushed to the vicinity.

Then he figured out the location of the room where the battle was taking place, making sure the enemy was still inside from the atmospheric conditions he had read in Uranos... and hit the first blow with his special skill.

(... I'm almost convinced she can't kill the subject because of the word)

Zeta has not been asked what it is, but he decides whether it is strong enough… or of a special nature.

(The problem is that the person who attacked you is the target… and yet if you die in my attack against my client's expectations. If we lose any traces before we have a peculiar reaction, we can't even get confirmation that the target of the attack is really the target of the request)

Zeta was worried that achieving the request would be impossible in the first place...

"... survive, survive?

Hate and… The target of the attack survived even in Zeta's super-high fever.

It existed in a scorching hell that no creature could have lived, no matter whether it was matter or not, no form remained.

But Zeta couldn't understand what that was.

Because it is......

Because it was nothing but a black - "vortex”.

◇ ◆

"I'm familiar with nuclear attacks. since eating in the former war '

Dormouse squeaks so in the heart of the "vortex," but the voice is swallowed by the “vortex" and no one can hear it.

And the appearance of the muttered beast is as if to the brink.

It's not a loving figure with short hands and feet on a round body, it's turning into a horrible look that's going to even appear on a monster scroll.

Covering his entire body with a pitch-black force field, a black “vortex” revolves around his black body.

“Vortex” swallows heat and electromagnetic waves from the nuclear fusion reaction.

Not only that, but it absorbs the surrounding heat and quenches the fire early...... even causing it to freeze.

You can't help but see the inside of the "vortex” to swallow even the light from the outside.

That was just... as if I was draining all of my approaching energy.

…………

On his back, Theresia remained faceless.

And her safety isn't activated even if it's only inside the fusion.

[Evil God] would not have taken any damage because of the direct hit, but that's not the reason.

Dormouth's back, wrapped around a black vortex, is the safest (...), so her safety still doesn't work.

[Contact……. Near the border… the battle is… dominated by the kingdom… signs of settlement… Yes. In tandem... and your assailants... may retreat...

"So now you just have to bear it a little bit. That much is possible with the seventh output. Although it is a little cramped because it reduces the size of the body. '

Answering Dutchess's words that way, Dormouth raises the corner of his mouth with a ripped mouth.

The motor, which was a special adversary, could not cut this note instantly, except if he knew.

"My life can't attack < master >. But… there is no bondage that must not be prevented, nor hidden. '

Therefore, Dormouth began a defensive battle.

Zeta also attempts elimination with the power of the all-powerful Uranos against the unidentified "black vortex”.

But that's the challenge to the impossible.

He turned it into Control AI VIII and destroyed a number of things as a Dangerous Goods Officer.

An invincible fortress, making it one of the most annihilating creatures in history to swallow all kinds of heat (energy).

He's the one, TYPE: Infinite Fortress.
