□ Before the entry of the power block [Eltrame] - Passage

That was before Hugo and Niara raided the Orthodox government of the power block.

They were explaining each other's power of war.

"My < Embrio > is a multiple species of Legion. However, there are only two fighting-action specialists, one of them… The fighter's Fighting Falcon has been used earlier, so all that remains is the bomber's Genocide Condor"

How hot is that Genocide Condor? For example... Compared to the Battleship of [Destroyer King], etc. '

"... too bad for comparison"

Hugo put out the most fire-fighting weapon in his memory, but Niara said so as she pulled her cheeks together.

"It's a sixth form after functional differentiation, so it's not like Super Embrio. Right...... probably does little damage to [White Rose] 's armor. It's a mythical metal alloy, right?

"Yes."

"If you also think about defensive and passive skills, the damage is minor first. This one is good because accidental detonation will keep the damage down...... However, one step down… even ancient legendary metal opponents will be dampened if they take defensive action."

Niara once tried it in the arena, and the power had been somewhat verified.

"But [Marshall II] has enough firepower to blow it all together."

"... I see"

"That's why my handbill is just as I said"

'Thank you. Thanks to this, it's a little easier to set up an operation'

"So what if the enemy power of the power block has disabled Hellgate just like the power of the mall?

'... the principle, I've already roughly guessed. That must be...'

During the consultation, the question arose as to what they would do if they had deactivated Hell Gate.

The presumption that airtightness was the cause, Hugo also stood at this point.

So here's what Hugo said.

'Guess what, the reason it didn't work for the Orthodox government < Maggie > is because of their high airtightness. So I think we're going to ask Mr. Niara to do the process of breaking the airtightness'

"To me?

"[Marshall II] 's armor is sniped. If anyone has any more armor, use the Genocide Condor you were talking about.

…………

"Penetration by sniping or damage by bombing. The breakdown of airtightness in either. If you can bring it into this shape, you can activate Hellgate.... if the disabling is for the reason just stated, '

"The former is fine. But the latter... I was wondering if it would be difficult to use because of the cost."

Listen to Hugo's tactics, but Niara looked bitter.

"How many minutes, Condor is expensive so I can't use it for a detour either. Some of the equipment we robbed from the terrorist group in this incident warms our nostalgia, but we are still hesitant to use it."

Maybe we can really redeem that equipment Eldridge robbed, now it's still opaque.

In addition, since this revenue is mainly used to rebuild the clan itself, it will also be discussed later to what extent it will be turned over to the individual.

'What is cost...... how much?

"... it costs 10 million for a single use. For once, you can use one more time at the cost you are charging."

That seems like a cheaper cost compared to < Super Embrio > etc, but still never a lighter cost.

For Niara and the others, who are so distressed that they think about their diet, they are hesitant to use it.

'Then I'll replace it, so use it if necessary in battle on the power block'

"... what?

To Niara listening back, Hugo responds by putting 10 million lil out of the item box.

That's the rest of the bounty I once received from Ray after crusading the Gozmaids Bandits.

I have always used it to purchase repair parts, but still have 10 million left.

"... okay?

'Cause I think I need it.'

To Hugo, there was no way to get lost.

"... ok. Keep it and I'll give it back if you don't use it."

"Yes."

"I'll leave the timing to Mr. Hugo, how are you going to operate it? In the form of a sniper to use against an unarmed opponent?

'It will be.... but'

"But?"

"I don't think that's enough"

Armor penetration by sniping.

Armor damage caused by bombing.

But Hugo also thinks there's a chance that someone won't get there.

"So I'm going to put up three steps."

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ [Eltrame] - Power block

"- Cuco!"

The risen white fuselage once again wraps around icing armor and expands the Hellgate.

――

The presence of the third aircraft, [White Rose], which had disappeared from thought half way for the two planes.

However, the two aircraft could not take immediate action to deal with [White Rose].

In the midst of a more threatening battle with an eye-to-eye opponent, you can't move in a detour.

In addition, the resumption of [White Rose] is also a good turn of events for both aircraft.

Curtis in a previous battle, Rascal and Makina already know the power of Hellgate from information in Cortana.

For both of them rushing to settle together, this change of circumstances is rather gratifying: 'Instead of stopping the other's breath root, just breaking the airtight seal of the cockpit will destroy it' (...).

They also decided that returns would prevail, even if both thought about their own risks.

Except for Hellgate and some sturdiness, there's nothing to see in [White Rose].

Without a doubt, among the three planes on this scene, it's understated.

It may be suspicious to have an arm capable of defeating two aircraft properly, and even if it did, it is impossible to capture two aircraft that are performing beyond their limits at a fuselage speed that does not even reach the subsonic speed.

Thus, [White Rose] at this point was just a stage gimmick for both Curtis and Makina.

However, that decision shall be immediately overshadowed.

"Mr. Niara (...)!"

With Hugo's words - because a fourth plane (...) jumped in from the big hole in the ceiling.

"Huh!?

Which was the astonishment?

Two aircraft witnessed simultaneously a bomber mimicking a condor.

The largest thermal fuselage, the Genocide Condor, in the [wings-all siemorg], a Legion of Niara.

On the edge of the large hole in the ceiling was the figure of Niara.

Since the entrance and exit had been sealed off by [Imperial Glory], the passage on board had been moved around to the big hole.

And now I'm flying Condor just as Hugo instructed.

"KUOOOOOOOO -"

Condor, who roared the engine to roar, jumped into the center of the power block as hard as it crashed,

- I blew myself up (...).

All ammunition detonated under the name of "Genocide Condor" suicide bombing.

That's not as wide as the fuselage size of < Magingear >. It goes wild in power blocks, and a series of fierce explosions smears everything.

But together, the fuselage was consolidated with ancient legendary metals.

If you take a defensive stance, you can avoid lethal damage.

In a sudden blast, the headphones and mechanical dragons simultaneously interrupted the energy beam to take a defensive stance.

- [White Rose] was rushing out toward those two planes.

The hardest mythical metal armor of the three aircraft and full operational defensive skills of both the fuselage and the job keep them moving without the need to take defensive postures like the two aircraft even in the midst of the explosion.

Two planes do not notice the proximity.

There's no way I'm aware of it.

The continuum of explosions that filled the power block has been anointed with noise by optical and acoustic sensors and even [dragsight] energy sensors.

On both planes, I don't see anything (...).

No matter how each of them is two of the top three pilots in this world: the [superpilot] and the [onion designer]... there's no way they can react.

Alternatively, AR · I · CA, who sees danger as the future, might have been able to detect it, but they can't.

But that's the same with [White Rose].

The sensors on the fuselage are useless and white out like in the midst of a blizzard.

Still, [White Rose] never missees the direction of the two planes.

Because...

"Hey, Rokuho."

The feeling of Cuco continues to capture the number (count) of fellow crusades between Curtis and Rascal.

The super sensation, derived from her ability traits, made her look like something to be defeated even in sensorless burning hell - she didn't miss a fellow homicide.

"Migi, Nana"

The white fuselage... rushes through the blizzard of explosions that take away vision and sound without hesitation.

Guided by the words of a girl who is her own half, riding, and friend.

- Sayu, now.

And [White Rose] activates his trump card skills.

That's the second skill, Purgatory Flash.

The only pure attack skill that releases the heat accumulated by Hellgate as a thermal energy blade from both hands.

All the calories that have continued to accumulate since Gideon was last used.

Now at this time - unleash.

"- Purgatory Flash."

moment, a blade of heat stretches from both arms of [White Rose] distorting the space,

- Pierced two cockpits.

◇ ◆

If you can't break the airtightness with sniping, it's bombing, if you can't break it with bombing, smash your eyes and ears... shoot it out with Purgatory Flash.

That's Hugo's idea of a three-step arrangement.

Difference in airframe defense, being two with Niara, and Cuco.

A battle challenged with all the advantages Hugo can have.

It was fatally fitted into the two opposing aircraft.

◇ ◆

…………

Curtis looked at the dimmed external monitor... his own body reflected there.

My appearance on the black screen was frozen like an ice statue.

And... I didn't have an abdomen.

The thermal energy blade through the chest armor is burned out so that it can be decided.

The immediate aftermath [freeze] also eliminated the bleeding, but if this is solved, I will have to die.

I could understand even though I was unconscious and fell into this result.

But the fuselage moves.

For him, who was integrated with the fuselage by the Mamma Machine Interface, there is no obstacle to moving the fuselage even if his whole body is [frozen].

The Hell Gate was activated well, because if it is activated in the depths, it will not do any harm to me.

Continuing the fight is possible.

…………

But being able to fight is not the same as living.

Curtis knew full well that moving the fuselage would not spare fatalities from this serious injury.

You can't tell because you once killed dozens or hundreds of humans as military personnel.

Nor is the life retained by [frozen] long.

Either the effect time expires, or Hugo realizes that Curtis has already been fatally injured - if he does, he will unfreeze [freeze] to death.

Curtis has already heard that Hugo can be disarmed at will.

There was no hitter, there was nothing I could do, and Curtis' death was definitive.

Understand that, various emotions come to your chest.

aspirations to the struggle.

An admiration for Claudia.

Hate for Reinhardt.

They cross and oppress thoughts by the approaching death.

But... eventually he picks one.

'That would be good! I will die here! Admit it!'

He accepted his own death, which became inevitable......

"I'll entrust you with the later (...), [Glory]! - Machine Seoul, activate!

- Activated the final depth of the pilot system (...).

◇ ◆

Makina was watching the moment.

A white fuselage that was approaching zero distance into a gap that was being crushed by a bomber's suicide bombing.

The thermal energy blade released from its fuselage slightly exceeded the defense of [Third Nix] 's laminated ancient legendary metal armor.

The blade of energy reaches the cockpit,

- I burned down Rascal's right arm, which was on the front seat.

"Your husband......!?

Makina pulled back from combat thinking, screams.

But Rascal [froze] his whole body... just after he lost his right arm.

Immediately thereafter, the monitor of [Sardnix] is filled with an indication of the error.

The inaction of Rascal, the [vessel god], had made it impossible to maintain Heiliger Trinitate.

"Ku......!

Makina instantly returns the fuselage to normal mode.

And stayed put...... dared to leave the power block.

Makina, a brilliant jade, is not influenced by Hellgate.

If it was just her, that was a skill that didn't do any harm.

However, a poorly coordinated [Third Nix] fight presupposes Rascal's skills.

Now that he is out of combat, it is impossible to continue the fight.

Above all, Rascal, who lost his right arm and froze, was more important to Makina than the battle in front of him or the power reactor on the [Eltram].

That's how she worked so hard to set an escape route from the [Eltrame] that she got off this fight without paying attention to anything else.

Both [White Rose], who hurt the Lord, and Niara, who flew the bomber.

And even [Imperial Glory], who's trying to transform it into something, throw it away.

◇ ◆

Shortly after [Sardonics] left the fight.

――――

A big hole in the chest [Imperial Glory] strikes back at [White Rose] in a move that also exceeds the previous deep activation.

A fist punch with both hands to be waved. Crush off [Rose] 's right arm, which was already damaged, and cause it to break for the joints in his leg.

A streak of destruction due to overwhelming speed and accuracy.

Even mythical metals were beginning to be destroyed by the forces that became more powerful in circles than when the Mamma Machine Interface was activated.

"Ku......!? This, is...!

"Apparently... if this happens (...) then the ability to freeze will also help"

From [Imperial Glory], you can hear Curtis.

But that sounds fundamentally different from the speech from the speaker from the Man Machine Interface.

It was as if the fuselage itself was talking.

Like affirming such a sense of Hugo......

"Hugo, he... he's already shining (...)"

That's what Cuco told me.

"... what?

"No more counts (...)..."

Cuco's words are correct.

In the cockpit of [Imperial Glory], Curtis Erdona was desperate.

[Frozen] The life activity that was in the state has completely stopped and even the [superpilot] job he was getting is freed from his flesh.

Even in the current attack, I don't use spears...... [Dragstinger].

Because it's gone. It has disappeared with the death of its owner, including other privileged weapons.

Major General Curtis Erdona, head of the Dreiffe Orthodox government, died in the power block of the [Eltram].

Sure.

- But [Imperial Glory] is still working.

"Ranari! I threw away the raw as a person! I had to throw it away!

[Imperial Glory] responds to Cuco's words with various emotional voices.

Doing so depends on the skills Curtis used the last time he lived.

The Final Depth of the Pilot System, Machine Seoul.

That's the end of the extreme "man-machine interface" of "piloting", stepped off (...).

Give your own life, dwell in the fuselage with just one purpose and will, and strengthen the fuselage.

Skills that are meant to move the fuselage with the end-of-life magic of the rider and make him do his last job. The final command that ends when the fuselage's energy runs out.

But there is no limit to that in [Imperial Glory], which is semi-permanently energized from the power reactor.

As long as the fuselage is immortal, its purpose will also be immortal.

"Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha now i know how to use this body better than kaka once i (curtis)!

……

[Imperial Glory], who hosted Curtis' will, laughs boasting of his own body, but his voice is starting to mix with noise.

Something that is not originally a skill to move for a long time is a problem because it is run for a long time by a semi-permanent engine power reactor?

Or does the power furnace itself have problems with this skill for any reason?

"You don't even need to build a new weapon in a power reactor. Nana! Coco, I'll incorporate it into this body, keep enhancing this body, kick everything out of the way, and one day I'll kill him lol! Protective Opportunity Turn into a god to fight Reinhardt!

The only purpose he chose in his lifetime was… the annihilation of Reinhardt.

Even if it becomes impossible to accompany Claudia, there is no problem with just the machine that housed the will if it only kills Reinhardt.

But in the first place... does he remember Claudia now?

Even Curtis' love heart, who was a person, seems to have forgotten because he chose hate.

In any case, there is no soul even if there is a will there.

"I feel more powerful than I ever lived! With this, I can take the fuck out of him! Lululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululululu

As the uptime prolongs, self-turbidity progresses.

It is no longer certain whether it is Curtis or the fuselage itself.

What we have here is a machine that was just given the orientation of Reinhardt annihilation.

Just having shattered human memories, bucket stuff.
