Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
98: '1' Tor, the dawn of battle.
My head hurts.
When I saw “it” on a big monitor in the overtree management room, there was a bump and pain running around my temples.
The sky above Kiltraden's palace cracked open, and the giant bright red eyes of "something” peered from it.
Even on the other side of the snowstorm blowing on the side, the eyes emit a blurry light and look good.
"Ha... what is this, a horror movie?"
"... those are the original eyes of a giant soldier."
"Machia"
Makia seemed to soon find out from her experience of confrontation that it was original.
Her expression changes from the smile she had just smiled, and she looks drawn.
"According to the report, as a result of Istarte's conspiracy... the Sorcerers of Twilight, who had been captured by the Federation, were wiped out."
"Hey what...!?
For me, your report was more shocking.
Machia also holds her mouth down.
Twilight's total annihilation is a huge distortion of the rescue scenario we've been building up.
The sense of loss twitching up into your chest is still huge.
Only Ulysses asked back pale.
"Is that to say that you've come to terms with the enemy?
"Probably the result of defying the commander-in-chief."
Pfft, appeared next to Princess Shatoma, and it was Solomon Twilight who answered.
His half expression was hard to say the usual, but it was something I didn't know what to say.
"According to the information we had, apparently, the Twilight clan had an evil poison in its body that resembled the curse of death. It's a demonic product of the sorcery and human experiments the Federation was going through, but the commander-in-chief must have set himself up to activate that magic when he died. I wonder, therefore, if we have not been able to carry out a conspiracy before..."
"So why now"
Ulysses was calmly asking.
"I don't know that.... the order of Istarte, king of silver, or did you intend to do so from the beginning"
……
"I don't know. Nothing more."
Solomon's voice was sinking.
No one can hear anything more, but a quiet silence flows.
"Perhaps the absence of the Twilight people is destabilizing the original fantasy space."
General Cannon, who kept his mouth shut, speculated in the usual tone.
"When the space cracks and he comes out, Kiltraden will grate and the northern continent will be a sea of fire"
"Oh no..."
"The central government is not functioning anymore. The people will be confused."
It was like other HR tones. General Cannon is just looking at the red light on the monitor.
Worst case scenario. The snow is strong, and if there were an attack by a giant soldier similar to the disaster now, the city would be destroyed instantly and the lifeline would stop.
In that case, no one will survive in this cold.
"Where did the Silver King go?"
When asked, it was General Iri who answered me.
"Reports say he's been missing since he left the capitol."
"... missing. That bastard, what about the Federation anymore"
I also saw the stark red eyes of a giant soldier on the monitor.
I was thrilled for a moment because my eyes felt like they were staring at me.
I heard a strong, heartbeat.
"The king of silver... that child may not have been untrained in that country from the beginning"
Pompous, Machia shrugged.
And raise your face. She's solid, the face of the Red Witch.
"What the hell happened to Lena?
"... that, I don't know. The report is still..."
……
Everyone was in this pressing situation without knowing what to prioritize.
I can hardly accept the fact that the overriding goal of Twilight's recapture has truly disappeared in this unknown place.
But reality doesn't wait for me. Not even for a second.
The sound of Princess Shatoma closing the fan rang lightly.
"Let's take the Valkyrian and transport ships all the way north. We still have time. We must move the citizens of Kiltraden to a safe place and protect them. I may not be able to do everything...... Connect the three system towers and form a line of defense so that the giant soldier can come out whenever he wants."
"But Princess Shatoma. Is it possible to defeat the original by ourselves?"
Ulysses asked, from the experience of confronting him once, in an uneasy manner.
Princess Shatoma shakes her head.
"You don't get it. I couldn't do it with a concubine... but if we join forces, or"
"I can't."
Machia strongly denied it.
"That's not something you can handle if you destroy it. With the laws of the world, absolute renewal is promised. Istarte said."
"... the laws of the world, in"
Pi...... pi......
Only the sound of the equipment in the control room sounded for a while.
It was Ulysses who broke that silence.
"But the original has also lost one eye. The eyes of the labyrinth are the original nucleus."
Ulysses briefly described the one eye he fought with Machia and took from the original.
Then General Cannon leans down a little and looks like he's working on something.
"Its right eye could be a decoy"
"Decoy?"
"The trouble is that it stays on the northern continent for a long time. In an instant, Kiltraden will be burned down. It's only a matter of time before the continent burns away. But if the giant soldier can sense the presence of his eyes and draw attention to them, he can manipulate his actions here and drag them out to the sea."
"I see. Are you bringing me to the heart of the Great Triangle"
Princess Shatoma immediately perceived General Kanon's measures.
"In the heart of the three towers… in the heart of the Central Sea, it is also possible to shoot in a massive demon cannon connected to a demon guide circuit. Besides, it minimizes damage."
To his opinion, Princess Shatoma began to peek at the map of Mayday drawn on this management room table.
"This... we have to work out a plan. Thor Sagaram, how much longer is that space going to last"
"... from what I've seen, I've said a day. No, he said you should keep it for a day."
"That's not good..."
There's not enough time at all to save everything.
That's what everyone here knows. Then what should we proceed as a matter of priority?
"But in the end, if you can't really fight a giant soldier, won't this world burn again...?
Machia pinched her mouth.
You're absolutely right. If a giant soldier is to regenerate, there is no chance of winning, for example, by dragging him out into the ocean and just repeating the attack in a prank.
At the time the original came out here, we lost.
"Princess!
At that time, the person who was working in the system management room raised his voice.
Now everyone turns to you.
"of the Vabel nation... the great tree Vabilophos... has lost"
"Become, what!?
"It's comms from the Rubel Tower."
I didn't understand what happened in that one word.
But the communication magic that soon unfolds shows the footage of the Rubel Tower's management room in the Kingdom of Ruskia.
There was a blue Noah and an outraged esca.
"Hey! What do you mean, the Great Tree of the Patriarchate is gone!!
Eska had the best opening, how she breathed. His shouts and doops are tight...
But soon he said, "Ah, Princess Shatoma, you're in a good mood..." Mojo.
"Hey, what's going on? You mean Daiki's gone?
The first time Machia listened back.
But unlike us, who can't hide surprises from unexpected developments, General Cannon was calm as expected. Check with Esca on the other side of the monitor.
Is there any particular damage to the Church?
"Oh... the moment I lost it had a shake like an earthquake, but fortunately the witches are safe. The shell of the Toyota Queen also remains here. It's just... the Central Sea."
……
"Island. Hey White Sage, there used to be an island of fantasy that was only visible to the Demon King class"
"Huh? Yeah... I thought it was a residual demon-guided space"
"That thing is now several times bigger and exists in a way that everyone can see. Perhaps that island became a reality at the same time that the great tree disappeared"
"... island?
Me and Machia face each other. Naturally, it was an event I didn't know about.
Various things are unfolding as if they sound like one another, trying to confuse the world badly.
I felt that way.
"… perhaps the island is the former“ Vabel ""
After a while of thought, General Cannon uttered the name, as he himself would ascertain.
"Once upon a time, Vabel?
"Once upon a time, it was a mythical age. Vabel, the“ previous ”sanctuary where this Mayday will be destroyed and rebuilt by Giganto Magiliva. Where the laws of the world truly sleep"
"... the laws of the world?
"Oh."
I can't imagine in what way that exists.
But the fact that the original is about to appear in this world, the disappearance of the Great Tree from the Patriarchate, the emergence of a new island in the Central Sea... all of this is related and I guess it all makes sense.
"The original cannot be destroyed. That's what the Red Witch said earlier."
General Cannon continued.
But if you're saying that Vabel appeared before the rebuild, you have no choice but to destroy the original.
"... Huh?
Everyone waited for his continued words.
General Cannon narrows his eyes and tells him, for a little while, with a breath.
"It's about destroying the laws of the world that have guided this world ever since this Mayday was rebuilt."
……
Can you do that?
Everyone must have thought.
"The only person who can destroy the laws of the world is the Red Witch... you"
But General Cannon turned to Machia and told him pale.
Machia also quickly regained her surprise look and confronted him with dignity.
There seemed to be something in her that I could understand.
"Was it Earth for that?
"... oh"
"Is that why you jumped my magic numbers?
"That's right. Now you hold the biggest magic numbers in the Demon King class. In addition, the position of" Messiah summoned from another world ”is adapted in parallel with the position of Demon King Class. This is the only situation that makes sense and makes impossible the destruction of the laws of the world"
The exchange between Machia and General Cannon continued pale.
Only the two of us can tell, there's something.
Machia distorted the expression she was tightening, only slightly, painfully.
"... you've been waiting for this moment. … spend a long time"
……
Machia was strong and nodded.
Like saying that's all you can do.
Destruction of the laws of the world.
I wonder how many things that means.
General Cannon later gave a pale account of what it was like.
For example, "liberation".
To end the reincarnation mechanism that binds the Demon King's class, and to break the chain that connected us to that coffin with our twisted and permanent bond.
But even if we die in this world and fulfill our next rebirth, the powers, memories and connections of the Demon King class as before will disappear and we will become normal human beings.
That can be described as the liberation of the Demon King class.
For example, "Dusk".
Mayday is a world that has maintained equilibrium by the rare power of the Demon King class.
Without the guidance of the Demon King class, or destruction and rebuilding, this world will finally be free, while slowly moving towards its end.
This world is now forced to make two choices.
Do you choose to end with freedom or accept restraint and hope for eternity...
No one knows the right path.
But you have to decide.
The only one with the role to decide was still the Demon King.
We will choose a path that breaks the laws of the world, heartbreaking and perplexing, to a heavier choice than ever before.
I didn't have time to get lost.
And the only one who can destroy the laws of the world is Machia, the Demon King who has crossed the Demon King class.
Machia will also take on this role.
Speaking of what other demon kings can do, take on the original rampage to minimize damage until Machia destroys the laws of the world.
There are people who care about each and every one of them, and there are countries. Just fighting to protect it.
Even if you cut that life.
Pisces and the sound of the vitreous being compressed and about to break even now were echoing all over the world.
The countdown started a long time ago.
When it reaches zero, that's the opening.
Opening of Giganto Magiliva.
5…… 4… 3… 2… 1……… 0
