Episode XVIII: The Mirrored Giant God

□ ■

At the top, including Tian and even the monsters, few expose everything in their hands.

Only a small fraction of those who inadvertently expose their hand tags have a self-evident appetite that surpasses their alertness to their enemies.

If you are more than super powerful, you will not reveal the true trump card.

Especially if death doesn't lead to permanent departure.

To take the example of the "most powerful magic” [god of the earth], only two are exposed to the public with the four great magics they have knitted, and there could be more than five great magics in the first place.

Even for the “strongest physics” [Beast King], I've never shown anyone the biggest and strongest form of combat, the combination of Special Skills and Super Armor (...).

And [Destroyer King] Shu Sterling and [Criminal King] Zex Würfel, who are shoulder to shoulder with “the strongest," also have trump cards, just like “the strongest.”

Shu and Zex have fought so hard that it's not enough to count with each other's fingers.

But this was the first time Zex had used his own special skills against Shu...

◇ ◆

In the air, Shu was confronted with his own trump card (...).

"... I guess that's the type. Temeer's Special Skills."

What Zex looks like now is a terrible resemblance to Baldor using his special skills.

But the giant god... was stained in pitch black as the first black water (nun) passed on to Egyptian mythology.

"Is that where Black Bardle is? You're a bad speaker in Schwartz Baldor. You can't say anything in German."

Shu said, 'Oh, can I Schwartz because Baldor is originally a source of Nordic mythology?' and thought inside out - bounced backwards.

Take the Aerial Leap skill away from the Black Giant God while fully opening your STR.

Like following it - countless missiles were fired from the open chest of the black giant god.

"Did you fly in the air to separate me from the Baldor!

Zex is serious with Shu and his goal is to fight to the end.

That includes doing everything in your power to win.

Now there is a distance between Shu and Baldor.

There is no problem carrying out support shelling from a distance, but special skill cannot be used.

And to counter the black giant god, who would have a huge status as well as the original, Shu also has to use his special skills.

I couldn't use it until the moment before.

Even if used, there was a risk that Zex would infiltrate the interior.

In fact, < UBM >, who once fought together, is dead by the M.O.

But now, I have to use it as soon as possible.

Not while they're still in the air.

A giant god who does not have the ability to fly cannot demonstrate its status in the air. That's why I've been shooting missiles at Shu.

But once his foot reaches the ground... Shu is killed in an instant by Zex, who has demonstrated the status of a giant god.

"Usually you can't turn it on to your enemies because it's costly."

"Outside the heart, sir."

Shu exchanges words like that with Baldor, but it's not like Zex didn't consider the possibility of using these means.

Still lies when it comes to being within your assumptions.

More than the nature of the nun is a deformation to others. Naturally, special skills are similar to that.

In addition, if they were more powerful than normal skills, they were also thinking about the possibility of 'turning into Super Embrio when using Special Skills'.

But there is only one thing that is unexpected.

Besides, you're down to that cost.

Now Zex has turned into a Valdor in the form of Special Skills use.

However, when using Undoubled God of War (Bardle), whose original Bardle is a special skill, it drains the energy cells generated in the Bardle.

In order to generate that energy cell, there are conditions under which the Valdor must wait for a certain amount of time while in non-combat.

That's why I was stepping on the assumption that even if I could copy < Super Embrio >, I wouldn't be able to use Undoubled God of War, a conditional special skill.

However, Zex ignores such a premise and uses the Undoubled God of War.

What is more, they also immediately released missiles that needed production and stockpiling.

From here, Shu deduces.

(... are you paying the cost in another way?

It pays a different kind of cost to use Nun's special skills rather than the original similar energy cells.

Decide otherwise is not feasible.

(MP or SP is probably not because it needs a huge amount. Costs that are stockpiled every certain amount of time, like the energy cells in the Bulder? No, the buldle takes time as well as material. Unlike Baldor, Zex's nun shouldn't have the ability to process items by default)

huge cost in some way.

thereby 'maximizing the power that the deforming opponent can exert' skills.

Or a 'pull it out as far as you know' skill?

But from the relationship between Zex and Shu, even the latter is the same thing as the former.

(What's the cost? Costs commensurate with the powerful effects.... Benefit Martial Arts?

Shu also knows that [Demon General] Logan Godhardt, the dueling king of the Empire, summons a mythical demon with a privileged weapon as a sacrifice.

Zex would have tons of perks and weapons to dedicate.

However, there was no indication that Zex had dedicated any item just before using his Special Skills.

(So it's a time limit? For example, you can only use it once a month?

Special skills for such long-term spans also exist.

That's the special skill of the clan owner of the strongest clan in Cardina, and I don't know Shu at this point, but the [Archprofessor] of the Empire, Mr. Franklin's special skills are the same.

Those types accumulate resources within themselves for a long period of time, and are designed to unlock them with special skills.

(I feel close, but uncomfortable. Nun is not the type to hoard resources. Instead, Nunn has been using...,...!

At that time, there were two things floating behind Shu's brain.

One is the specification of Nunn's Shape Shift.

Ability to deform with reference to the total level.

The other is one he calls a female fox < master >...... Dependent Moon Night.

Her Job, the Final Depth of [the Lady Pope] - "The Return of the Saints" Wolfaria Eltram.

"... I get it."

Shu shrugs with certainty.

Predicting an impending missile activation, scratching and still staring at the black buldle.

"- You dedicated your level (...), Zex"

< Super Embrio >, [Orihara Wan Wen Nun] 's Special Skill - "I deserve to look (Nun)".

That remains the skill name… the skill to dedicate oneself in exchange for appearance.

You can specify one from the stock deformation target and use all of its forces for only thirty minutes.

Whether it is a Super Embrio or a special item is required for the exercise of skills, it becomes available.

However, for every single use (...) … lose 500 levels (...).

If you are a tian, a level you may not get from risking your life.

In terms of high cost, it is also comparable to the final depths synonymous with suicide bombing.

This cost is by no means light, even though Zex can raise the level in Criminal History.

At the moment, the level of Zex is reduced to 2390. The level limit for use is not the same as for Shape Shift, so it cannot even be shuffled the next time it is used.

Besides, if you use this skill too much, Zex will...... to anyone (...), to nothing (...), and you won't be able to be (...).

Extinction of the existential significance of Nun, himself.

A sword of all blades, that's all I can say.

It is also logical not to use it against Shu once before.

Still, Zex used it now.

…………

I've multiplied this battle by, but I guess I'll have been much better prepared by then.

Stocks were collected for battle, raising the level of consideration.

With his whole body, to fight Shu to the end.

To win and understand after giving each other everything.

"... I get it."

And against Zex for putting that far out, Shu...

"This way, I'll make up my mind to cut the trump card."

Shu had two purposes in this battle.

First of all, defeat Zex and stop the assault on the kingdom by him.

Secondly, to hasten after this battle to the < war > of the kingdom and empire, to become a force of war.

He sent a message and said not to expect it from himself.

I thought I wouldn't be able to participate in the War.

Still, I hadn't given up yet.

Because there was no zero chance of defeating Zex, rushing to War, and saving the kingdom's predicament.

If it's not zero possibility, if it's even on the other side of the decimal... it's Shu who moves to grab it... because it's a guy named Shuichi Shigemitsu.

But he trumps his second purpose... at this moment.

I didn't give up on that.

Zex betting on everything... against someone who is a good enemy, a great enemy, a friend, and a mirror photographer... I stopped thinking about afterthought and spare time too.

I also bet everything against this opponent... because I am ready to do what I should do now.

"I'll use everything, too. But I repeat what I just said."

Running to fall through the air, Shu pointed to the black giant god.

"To the point of killing each other - don't think you can understand me."

- Be prepared that your purpose will not come true, too, with the meaning... he declared again.

――――

Black giant gods can roar in the air.

There must be a Zex in that body who looked like Shu, just like the original Baldor.

But that black giant god is all Zex again.

The inner resemblance is a small part of the total volume, and the roar of the black giant god is not the roar of the institutional sounds...... it is the cry of Zex himself.

Along with the sound of shaking the sky, the black giant god exercised numerous armaments, from the chest, from the fingers of his hands, from the legs, from the slits of his whole body.

The ravages of indiscriminate.

Like the god of destruction, the black giant god dyes the canyon with further destruction, which should have already been devastated.

In a downpouring shell and blast storm, Shu heads to Baldor, who also heads to Shu.

Together, we can't avoid all attacks, we get hit, we smash our equipment and armor, we scatter our blood and energy, but we continue to do what we have to do.

Eventually, as the black giant god descends into the earth, Shu descends into the Baldor,

As the black giant god overtakes the speed of sound and kicks the ground, Shu enters Baldor,

The moment the black giant god waved his special fist, Baldor turned himself into a giant god,

- Again, both fists clash.

The fist of the giant god of steel, released in a straight line from the bottom, intercepts the fist of the giant god of black, who arcs.

The shock is not the ratio when we were people together.

In the aftermath of a single clash, a canyon with walls around a two-pillar giant god... disappeared.

…………

…………

Still, the giant gods stand unwavering.

The same figure...... the mirrored giant gods face each other and look at each other.

The Giant God is stained in two colors: steel and black.

Steel that didn't bend itself, just kept on being itself.

Black of chaos that has gained numerous colors in order to gain himself.

Its colour is as if it were the very way the two are.

Words were no longer necessary for such giant gods.

The giant god of steel kicks the earth and jumps.

The name of the move to be unleashed is' Twisted Flower '.

The rotation of the helix drawn by the protruding right palm bottom is for screwing your powers into the opponent.

In contrast, the black giant god also sticks out his right arm.

At the same time - its right hand starts spinning at super high speed.

"Huh!"

Physical rotation not a spiral by martial arts using the giant god of steel. The tip turns from the wrist like a spiral angle (drill).

And the two right hands around came into contact, and the right hand of the giant god of steel crushed the right hand of the giant god of black

But the meshing rotation with the power of the giant god also crushes and sheds two fingers from the right hand of the giant god of steel.

(... is that my perk weapon?)

Shu immediately guessed what the rotation was on account of.

There are gears that only Zex can hold, just like there are gears that only Shu can hold.

Once fought together to defeat, and the reward weapon was the spinning < UBM > that Zex took.

Per was followed as one end of the skill that the Benefit Armor possesses.

(You spun the tip forcefully from your wrist to mimic my twisted flowers? Skills to rotate your body...... is weak for me to use as a perk weapon. You should see that there is still something)

During the discussion, the black giant god keeps the tip from his body from his broken wrist.

(... it hasn't changed that my body is slimy. Is that about it coming)

The black giant god has the same power as the steel giant god, while being able to ignore any physical damage due to the slime.

It is not possible to prevent a blow by Shu, who has the authority to destroy physically, or even to reconstruct the destroyed area.

However, the total volume of Zex for just the amount of damage… will not be deactivated until HP is reduced, and it is definitely shredded.

(Zex can also fight while maintaining some condition, but when the original volume falls below the deformation target, there is a limit somewhere. Doesn't change what you do)

Keep attacking the Black Giant God like this, sharpen and destroy Zex's HP.

There is no other way.

But......

(... this one's at a disadvantage for sharpening mud)

Unlike the giant god of steel, which is a machine, the black giant god, whose identity is slime, has HP means of recovery if he cares about it.

Shu understood the thinness of the winner of the enduring battle.

Short-term showdown is what you should choose.

Therefore, cut your own trump card.

Because I've already decided to be ready.

……⁉

But Shu is on the verge of doing it.

The giant god of steel was cast down at his feet.

As if even with the foot payment, the right foot, which was axial, leaves the ground and falls out of balance.

"This guy...!

Seeing, on his right leg was a fragment of a previously scattered black giant god... nun's split creeping.

But I can't give you enough power to overthrow a giant god of steel with just a small amount of split.

other factors are needed to exchange it,

"Is this the main purpose of the reward weapon!

Shu had already guessed the factor.

Ancient Epic Martial Arts, [Spiral Belt Spindle].

It is a privileged weapon that focuses on 'rotating the body of Zex', once having a relative rotating < UBM > force.

But the effect is not just rotation.

The physical axis (...) is unnecessary and can be rotated into a free vector, even in the air.

Furthermore, not only can it rotate (...), but it can also rotate (...) around a point in space.

rotational capacity resulting from "spatial rotation" during life.

And the power of this privileged weapon goes beyond rotating the tip from the wrist, extending to each and every split of the scattered Zex.

Therefore, it is also possible to rotate each person to whom the split has been attached (...).

Because the effect is increased or decreased by the volume to be rotated, the attached split is not enough to rotate it… but still enough to cause madness in the opponent's behavior and cause him to fall over.

As long as the split is attached, normal operation becomes impossible.

This is also one tactic for Zex inferior to Shu to use the same body to outperform Shu in martial arts.

――――

A black giant god waves his fist down like an iron hammer at a disfigured steel giant god.

Shu tries to keep his right hand up to prevent it.

But that defense was cheated by the rotation of the split that was attached to his right hand, and the fist of the black giant god struck directly into his chest.

"Ku......!

The impact also runs to the cockpit with the shu in one blow, the inner console turns up the spark, and the flare of the frame is transmitted with hearing and vision.

The second blow that followed was also swung down, destroying chest armor.

"Baldor!

In that one word his < embrio > perceived the Lord's intention.

- Immediately after, the chest of the giant god of steel explodes.

Inside the distorted and crushed armoured version, the Seventy-Seven Combined Guided Flying Body Launch Mechanism is activated without opening the launch port either.

My own internal mechanism and every chest armor...... caught a black giant god in an explosion.

……

Warhead type is still incendiary.

Even though Zex is covered to some extent by gear, the surface of the black giant god melted by high heat, one of his weaknesses as a slime, dutifully jumped off the scene.

But in terms of damage, the giant god of steel is more serious.

Total loss of chest armor. Damage has propagated to other areas, and the heat from the incendiary warhead has covered the surface of the fuselage.

But rather, that is the main focus of Shu's aim.

By the high heat surrounding the whole body, all the splinters stuck to the whole body were burned and melted off.

He chose to get hurt himself, eliminating the factors limiting his movements.

But the price is huge.

"- Total damage, over 40%. All armor is damaged. Heavy damage to chest internal mechanism." Seventy-Seven Combined Induction Flying Body Launch Mechanism "on the chest, and" Bloody Razorstorm "on the optical slashing melee defense net for all armoured slits are not available"

"I guess."

That's how Shu responded to Baldor's report.

The power of the giant god struck directly in the chest twice, firing a self-destructive missile inside the armor in quotes. Rather, it is a miracle that not half of it is broken.

But now none of the eyes of a muddy enduring war.

Even if your opponent doesn't have the ability to recover, you will lose if you compete in this situation. Because there is, it's a disgrace.

"Well, it doesn't make any difference anymore."

But neither muddy nor protracted is willing to fight.

He has used special skills that Zex has never used before, used reward weapons, and exposed all his hand tags.

"Then I'll expose the trump card too."

Now Zex has both the power of Job with Shu and the power of Embrio.

But I didn't get everything about Shu.

Even if Zex can be transformed into a person or an Embrio, it cannot be transformed into a thing (item).

It is Nunn's limitation of ability, perhaps resulting from the very essence of Zex himself.

Compared to being able to be a person or an < Embrio >, it is a small impossibility.

But that's why it matters to Shu.

There is the only possibility that we can surpass the original Zex in terms of both condition and possession skills.

"Bardle, wake up [gamma]"

"Copy that. [Temporary Institution Gloria γ], operational."

The sole is a gap in crushed chest armor, a thing that looks like the position of the heart.

Some biological institution, as shown by the different origins from the other internal mechanisms of the giant god of steel.

Sole is the [King of Destruction] for Shu Sterling...... literally the “last” trump card.

- The very curse of the demon dragon.

It was sealed in the chest. It now passes through more energy than the giant god of steel and begins to roar like it sounds on the earth.

The awakened curse seeks consideration.

Shu makes this his “last” trump card because of the consideration.

…………

Still, Shu is already ready.

He already doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the war, nor his spare power or afterthought.

I had decided to do everything in this battle to fight Zex.

That's why he declares.

Name the power of Gloria the Extraordinary, the super weapon left behind by the most powerful Demon Dragon.

"-" Necromancer (Gloria) "

"Code, Confirmation"

That moment he proclaimed and Bardle answered.

The whole body of the giant god of steel,

"God of War Ship (Baldor) - The Final Form of Divine Extinction (Ragnarok Form)"

- It was stained with red and gold like dusk.

To be continued
