Intruders of the Moon World

"This is impossible!"

The relaxed look on Azrael's face suddenly changed.

"Humans don't even have the ability to use elves."

"There is no doubt, there is no need for the strong to deceive the weak." Artoxiu narrowed his eyes.

His happy mood can be said to be beyond words, even Jibril and Azrael can clearly see it.

"Does the unknown exist? How far can it go? What kind of fun will it bring me?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After the battle with the Flügel girl, Ye Qing continued to sit on the body of the phantom whale to rest, letting it roam aimlessly.

Since it is a unique individual, a name is not required.For fantasy species, names are used by others to call them, and they do not rely on this to distinguish each other.

But for convenience, Ye Qing still gave it a name for communication - [Behemoth].

This is a monster that appeared in the "Bible Old Testament". It was originally a monster of the same level as Leviathan, but when its legend spread to the Arabian region, subtle changes occurred.

Not only is it described as a giant fish carrying the world on its back, but its name has also become [Bahamut].

The reason why Ye Qing gave it this name is because its image is closer to the "whale made of rocks", and because it is easier to remember.

Bechymos would not take the initiative to attack other life forms, but he would not deliberately avoid them either, completely ignoring life forms other than himself.

Other creatures will probably bypass it, or ignore each other.

Because of this, Ye Qing has seen many life forms in this world within the scope of his perception.

After this period of contact, Ye Qing has gradually figured out the specific structure of this planet.

The first is the [Spirit Corridor]. This thing is the source of elves and magic. It runs through the core of the planet and surrounds the entire world. It can be regarded as a huge and unique dragon vein.

The [Elf] itself is "alive", and it should have been inexhaustible in the entire natural system like rain. However, due to the use of various taboo magic during the war, a large number of elves were volatilized and died. Its residue is the [spiritual skeleton] called black ash.

All creatures in this world have elves in their bodies, the difference is only in how many.Races with intelligence and talent can use elves to cast magic. Some races don't know magic, but they can also use elves to strengthen their bodies.

And among them, there are races that stand at the top of all life and use elves whose scale and quality are completely incomparable.

Those are the high-ranking races: [God Species], [Phantasy Species], [Elf Species], [Dragon Spirit Species], [Giant Species], and [Flügel Species].

The Jibril that Ye Qing met was a Flügel, and this race still has a relatively low individual combat effectiveness among the upper races, which shows how powerful the other upper races are.

In Bechymos's world view, it seems that [God Species] means "eternal" life forms, even if they die, they will one day be resurrected, and even Phantasmal Species are far from comparable.

Ye Qing also quickly understood this statement.

The gods of this world should not be "lifeforms with powerful power" in the usual sense, but similar to natural gods, born from the concept of the world... or in other words, anthropomorphic existences that manifested.

Although there is the possibility of "death", as long as the world does not disappear and the concepts still exist, they will be activated again one day.

To be honest, this type is super troublesome...

In contrast, although other upper races are strong, they are not invincible, they will still be defeated, and they will face death in a real sense.

——It is also their death that makes this world full of holes.

Judging from the data accumulated in Bechymos' long life, even if ordinary races were to massacre cities and countries, the damage to the planet would be far inferior to a single high-ranking race's full blow or self-destruction.

[Flügel]'s ultimate move "Sky Strike", Ye Qing has already experienced it, if it is not concentrated radiation, but wide-area release, the damage caused will be even more terrifying.

And the fatal blow of [Dragon Essence] - [Broken Roar] is even higher.

These are the tricks of annihilation in units of countries and continents, and they are often used as the trump card to mark the end of the battle. Annihilation of each other will cause unimaginable destruction and countless spiritual remains.

And how many times have such battles happened on this planet?

The answer is difficult to quantify.

Even two of the three dragon kings who were the leaders of the [Dragon Essence] died in the war, and the almost natural phenomenon of the [Phantasy] also fell from time to time, which shows the cruelty and intensity of the war.

Attacks similar to Sky Strike and Benghou have bombarded this planet countless times. (It's not ruined like this, it's really resistant. Fuck...)

"This planet looks a little special."

Opening his eyes from meditation, Ye Qing sat on Bechymos' broad back, looking up at the sky covered in crimson ash.

"Something is protecting the planet... Is it planetary consciousness?"

However, if this planet really has a mature unified will, how could it allow the [War] to continue endlessly?

Just when Ye Qing was thinking about something, he suddenly raised his head as if he felt something, and looked at the ground in a daze.

"Well, this life wave..."

-

A year has passed since meeting a certain girl.

The young leader of the settlement, Rick, is now looking at the distant road through the windshield.

I have to admit that when I first met that [Ex-Machina] girl, Rick just regarded her as a "broken machine" and a "monster that might be usable".

Even though it has the appearance of a human, it is actually a monster that can easily kill humans and even destroy entire settlements. It is impossible for him to look at it with a normal heart.

However, this vigilance and disgust disappeared after only one night.

Although they are of different races, Rick can indeed feel something similar to humans from the girl's mechanical body.

I heard that [Ex-Machines] are an absolutely rational race, they will not take the initiative to attack others, but if they are provoked, they will develop into a battle of the entire race, and they also have a super learning ability that makes all races stay away.

But there is only one thing, no matter how you calculate it, you can't get the answer - the heart.

This is a part that was missing when the machine was born. This girl who broke away from the [Ex-Machina] group—Shubi, met Rick just to analyze the existence of the heart.

Honestly, Rick thanked the heavens for Hubby's "glitch" because that's how their fates became intertwined.

The arrival of Shubi also brought great changes to the entire settlement.

Although it is necessary to hide the identity of the [Ex-Machina] so as not to cause unnecessary panic, even if it is just some help secretly, it is enough to greatly increase the means of survival that can be adopted.

As a result, there were no victims during the year, the living conditions in the settlements had improved significantly, and the need to go out for "expeditions" was greatly reduced.

What makes the young leader especially happy: People are smiling more and more.

But Rick understands that these are just illusory peaces, and everything is built on a foundation as fragile as sand.

As long as those high gods and monsters who can only kill do not stop the war, the settlement may be destroyed by the aftermath of the battle at any time.

So, can't stop!

Even if it is only a little bit, Rick wants to do something, even though he knows that his power is insignificant, but there is always a sense of urgency in his heart.

【Nothing to do! 】

[Is it really okay to go on like this? 】

So he will still go out to investigate, hoping to find props or information that can further improve the human situation.

But fortunately, he was no longer alone this year, and there was a little girl by his side.

"...Rick?"

Hearing the familiar call, Rick lowered his head and looked at the familiar face.

"Ah, don't worry, Hubie, I was just a little lost in thought."

At the same time, Rick laughed at himself in his heart: he would be in a daze outside, and he became lazy unconsciously.

"Then, let's go on, the ruins should have been—"

"and many more!"

The girl suddenly interrupted Rick's words, and looked solemnly at the corner of the valley.

Rick understood what this reaction meant, his expression became serious instantly, and his body was ready to run at any time.

"Unknown energy fluctuations discovered—enemy!"

A rainbow light with a certain frequency flickered in Shubi's eyes, as if he was facing an enemy.

"Wait a minute, don't be so vigilant, I'm not your enemy."

A humanoid came slowly around the corner.

"At least, as long as you don't attack me, I won't attack you."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Target found—the race is...unresolved, tentatively unknown."

A petite girl in some loose old clothes stared at Ye Qing vigilantly.

And her companion, a young man who looked a bit thin, looked at Ye Qing carefully and seriously.

"Huby, the other party seems to want to communicate with us, so don't attack yet."

Although Rick is young, he has been the leader for a long time and bears the fate of thousands of people, making him much more mature than his appearance.

He understands a truth, after encountering an unknown existence, panic and attack are definitely the most irrational actions.

"Understood—but..."

The girl named Shubi said nervously: "Rick, don't approach him. This unknown lifeform has never been registered in the [Database]. It may be the newly manufactured God's Weapon."

【Ex-Machina】is a race that can analyze the enemy's intelligence, summarize and learn from it, and even copy the attack.

And they also collected detailed information on various races except the [God Species] during this war, and they have amazing databases.

But even in the database of the Ex-Machines, there is nothing similar to the creature in front of him.

Although it is in human form, it is neither [Elfy] nor [Vampire] or [Beastman]. The most important thing is: Even as a machine, Shubi can feel a strong sense of oppression from him.

This should be just an illusion, Ex-Machinas have neither emotion nor fear of death, nor will they feel awe of powerful existence like flesh and blood life.

In theory this shouldn't be the case...but what is going on here?

The moment this living body entered the field of vision, it produced information interference enough to cause logical failure of thinking, as if it was a mystery in itself.
