So I became a witch

Seeing Qiu's changes, Lota's eyes lit up, but soon she regained her composure and focused her attention on the screen.

"Then, let me see if you can become the star that reverses everything?"

----------------

How many times is this the battlefield?

Every time the scene changes, the power of the dragon knight I am driving will be higher. Although it is pretty good to be able to experience all kinds of dragon knights, correspondingly, the strength of the disaster beast has also increased.From the D and E ranks that appeared occasionally at the beginning, to the army of disaster beasts that started at the lowest rank at A rank, to be honest, if it was normal, I would have already planned to give up and run away.However, both physical and mental exhaustion have already reached the extreme, but there is always such a voice whispering in my ear, I must not give up, otherwise, everything will really be over.

In this way, after spending an unknown amount of time, I finally came here.Instinct tells me that the battlefield this time is completely different from the previous ones. I am afraid that there will be unimaginably powerful enemies that I have never met before.

As for why I came to such a conclusion... just look at the Dragon Knight I was driving at this time.For a long time, the adaptability bottleneck that has been kept secret for qualified people is nothing to me. No matter what kind of mecha, as long as I drive it, I can get started very quickly as if controlling my own body, so that I once I can't understand why those people can't do something that can be done so easily.However, until this time, I finally felt the pressure.Even if it hasn't started yet, I can still feel my mental power draining away like a tide. Once the battle really starts, the pressure on the driver will increase exponentially.If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been squeezed out before they could move.

Chapter 69 special

If I'm not mistaken, this should be left by the gods, the real legendary dragon knight.Even I am like this, no wonder there have not been many drivers of the legendary Dragon Knight in the past 100 years.In a word, this thing is not an existence that humans can drive at all.In order to truly exert the full power of this weapon, perhaps only the legendary gods can do it.

Although I don't know its serial number, it shouldn't be too low.However, this is not a good thing.According to the conclusions I have drawn in previous battles, the stronger the dragon knight allocated by the system, the more terrifying the enemies to face.

I took a deep breath and adjusted my state to the best state.Whether successful or not, this will be the last battle.

So, give me a ride.

"..." The uneasiness in the air was almost solidified. At this time, I didn't know that the outside world had exploded.In order to simulate the reality of this battle, a large number of information resources have been mobilized, and machine strikes have occurred one after another around the world for no reason. Even the Eden network has been affected, but people cannot find out the source of this mutation. , it can only be attributed to the riot of the disaster beast.

……coming.

Almost at the moment when this idea popped up, I took a step forward, and my body appeared in a very distant void in an instant.I raised my hand, aimed at a certain space, and clenched my fist.The rules of space are distorted here, and countless pitch-black tentacles emerge out of thin air, attacking me from all directions with an unavoidable force.

Facing this sudden attack, I was prepared and didn't show any panic. My body got active before the dark thing appeared.I pulled out the weapon from my waist, it was a blue long sword, the moment it was unsheathed, it automatically shattered into countless particles, scattered in the void around me.Although I can't see them, I can clearly perceive their existence.I waved my arms, like a conductor in a band, wantonly manipulating the surrounding particles, easily cutting off the tentacles rushing towards me.

It's incredible, obviously I don't have the memory of driving it at all, but after actually starting this dragon knight, I naturally understood everything about it.

Soul fusion.I couldn't help but think of this word that I saw by chance.Among a very small number of scholars, they firmly believe that the dragon knight is not just a weapon, but an existence with individual consciousness and soul.The so-called eligibility is actually the degree to which the consciousness of the human and the dragon knight are synchronized with each other.When each other accepts each other, unparalleled strength will erupt.

Of course, this hypothesis has not been recognized by the academic community so far, and I also doubt it.However, today, I seem to really feel the soul residing in the dragon knight, powerful, majestic, but extremely gentle.

This is, Dragon Knight.It is both a weapon and an existence equal to us.

...Really, what am I thinking about.Originally, I just sat on the Dragon Knight for self-protection by chance. Although I don’t know which god who doesn’t have long eyes sent the gift package for time travel, if I didn’t have this inexplicable talent, I would probably have died in the It's an underground manufacturing factory, I still have to be grateful for this, but if possible, please give this talent to people who need it more.I don't intend to save the world, nor do I intend to be a hero, I just want to seek a corner of the world and survive the mortal world.

That's right, this is my only wish in this world.If even this is taken away from me...even if it is a god, I will never forgive it!

Under my infinite cutting, the seemingly endless black tentacles finally showed a break.Seizing this momentary opportunity, I decisively rushed out of the encirclement of the tentacles and ran out of the void.It wasn't until this moment that I finally saw a corner of the truth about this monster.In the distance of the infinite universe, the endless black tide has flooded an unknown number of galaxies, and countless stars are dimmed, and this monster that has been attacking me since just now is lurking in this black tide.And those countless huge tentacles, each with the thickness of the equator, seem to be... just a few "slightly invisible" fluffs on the monster's body.

How huge is this guy.I was speechless in my heart. According to the instantaneous calculation of the dragon knight, the total size of this monster may have surpassed the largest known star in the world, and reached the level of "light-year" as the unit.This is an impossible number. It is well known that the size of a star is determined by its mass. However, there is an upper limit to the mass of a star. Once the gravitational force exceeds the repulsive force, it will completely collapse into a black hole.Even for a black hole without an upper limit of mass, the currently known largest diameter is far less than 1 light-year, not to mention such a huge monster.No one knows how this monster escaped the shackles of the laws of physics, or in other words, the existence of the Calamity Beast itself is not subject to any rules.

Could it be that the ultimate goal this time is to find a way to kill this monster?The corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching. If I want to use this dragon knight, which is less than ten meters long, to kill a disaster beast with a size of more than 1 light-year, it is tantamount to killing a human being with an atomic nucleus. unrealistic.

While I was thinking, many stars were "predated" by the Kuroshio and dimmed.Perhaps when all nearby galaxies have been swallowed up, the test will be over.Or just give up?I thought seriously.Anyway, it's just a simulated test, even if it fails, it won't have any impact on reality.For this kind of enemy that is not in the same order of magnitude, no matter what you do, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble-if you use common sense to consider, you will probably come to such a conclusion.

But, as I've said from the beginning, I'm not normal.From an early age, I noticed my differences from others, my lost emotions, my flawed personality.No matter how hard I searched, I still couldn't fill the void in my heart.So I gave up, gave up looking for the meaning of life, and just spent similar days in a daze.

Just when I thought I would be so lonely until the end of my life, I suddenly crossed into this ignorant world.Even if I don't want to admit it anymore, I have to admit that in the original world I was a "useless" who had nothing, but in this world I am a "special" existence.

Chapter 70 Attribution

Even me, who is worthless, can gain the power to change the world if I ride the Dragon Knight, and my heart that has been empty until now is filled at this moment.That's exactly what I've been looking for, an essential existence as a human being - "sense of belonging".

Whether it's jealousy or arrogance, human beings always despise their own kind, but they can't help but long for the approval of others.I could have endured the darkness if I hadn't seen the light.However, why?Obviously it took away my hope so easily, but when I was about to give up, I put it where I could see it at a glance, like a bonfire attracting moths.I lost my emotions, and I was born as a flawed product among human beings. I knew that the blazing heat was enough to kill my life, but I couldn't help but want to move forward while staying away.

Therefore, I am always afraid to drive the Dragon Knight.If I have been relying on this power of unknown origin, I can't help but want to use it to seize the happiness that never belonged to me, and finally immerse myself in this false dream until the bubble bursts and everything returns to nothing , At that time, can I really bear to go back to loneliness?I don't know, and I dare not imagine.Perhaps after coming to this world, I have already fallen into the trap silently and cannot extricate myself.Katarina, Pandora... If it was me in the original world, I would have already escaped.But now, I have power. I have been protected all the time, and for the first time, I have the idea of ​​protecting others.

From the first time I set foot on Dragoon, there seemed to be no turning back.

The giant beast rushing in the black tide seemed to have finally discovered my escape, and let out a silent and terrifying roar in the universe.It wasn't until this moment that it finally revealed its true colors from the Kuroshio.It was a giant whale shaped like a whale. Its size was far beyond imagination. Even with the help of Dragon Knight's scanning function, only its part could be captured. Just its one eye exposed outside the black skin, It is already tens of thousands of times larger than the sun.Opening his mouth can swallow the stars, and he can move the universe by himself. Sure enough, this is the frightening beast in the legend that destroyed almost all of the human star fleet and killed the savior by himself.Code-named "Beast of Doom", its level is... unknown "X".

After identifying its true identity, I couldn't help being shaken again.I didn't expect that the last level of the test would turn out to be such a monster. Is this a test or a murder?If I remember correctly, even those extremely powerful saviors in the legends can only die together when facing this monster. If it were me, it would probably be even more unbearable.

I don't like surrendering, but I also hate playing no-win games.But even if he wanted to escape, it was too late, and the giant beast started to move.It seems to have discovered me, obviously in front of its huge body, I am probably only equivalent to an atomic nucleus, but it still locks on me, and can't stop venting its anger.

Countless fireballs fell from the sky, and each fireball was equivalent to a burning sun. Let alone being hit head-on, it would definitely not feel good even if it hit the side.I can only fully activate the power of the dragon knight, jumping crazily in the gap between the stars.

Damn it, can it be that he can only be beaten passively like this?In that case, I don't know if the other party will be exhausted, anyway, my side will definitely stop cooking early.If this guy is only a few thousand meters, tens of thousands of meters, or even hundreds of thousands of meters, although it is scary, it is not absolutely impossible to solve.But the size of this guy is more than a dozen orders of magnitude larger than me. This gap cannot be erased no matter what.

No, the more you have to calm down at times like this.Thinking about it carefully, although this is a monster that has never been seen before and is indescribably huge, there are indeed records of being killed.That being the case, then the guy in front of me is definitely not invincible.

But how to kill it?For example, inside this huge monster, there is actually a core that can kill it as long as it is destroyed, or this guy is actually some kind of "aggregate", the real body is not so big... Ah, no , there is no time to think too much, although the state of the dragon knight seems to be normal, but the existence of this giant itself is a huge source of gravity, just staying here is enough to cause a fatal threat to everything around .If I don't want to be torn or burned to death, I must make a decision immediately.

Well, there's no other way, anyway, let's try to use all the attacks first.Since the saviors of the past were able to kill this guy, then I, who is also driving the legendary dragon knight, should at least be able to hurt this guy.

"Full bomb—launch!"

I shouted loudly, and instantly fired all the missile lasers on the Dragon Knight.In an instant, even the dark and silent universe was illuminated by countless radiation rays.Weapons that could destroy even stars hit the behemoth billowing in the Kuroshio unerringly, without even aiming at it—just because it was so massive.

Surrounded by so many explosions, the giant beast seemed to finally feel the pain, and began to roll in the black tide.However, if expressed in terms of the human body, the attack I launched just now can only inflict a fingernail-level damage at most, which is far from enough to kill it.Although this attack power is amazing enough compared to the size of the dragon knight itself, it is still too weak.

Looking at the energy that had bottomed out on the monitor, I sighed, and just as I was about to simply admit my failure, a girl's mechanical voice suddenly came from my ear.

"...The conditions have been met, the second restriction is lifted, and access is allowed."

"Huh? Hey? Who is it?" I asked subconsciously.Although the voice sounded familiar, I couldn't remember where I heard it for a while.

"'Eden', log in."

"Wait, this voice can't be... AI?" I finally remembered, isn't the girl speaking at this time the AI ​​who has been following me and guiding me?It was just because her voice was so cold compared to usual, so I didn't think of it for a while.

"...Privilege upgrade, integration, start." She didn't answer my question, and continued to speak coldly with a mechanical voice.

Chapter 71 Fusion

"So what the hell happened... umm!!!"

So hot!

My whole body seemed to be melting, exuding an extraordinary heat.What's this?I shouted loudly, but no one answered my voice.

Blood, bones, nerves, veins, as long as there are gaps, they are all filled by this inexplicable heat.But, miraculously, I didn't feel any pain.It didn't seem like it intended to hurt me, as if it simply wanted to rush into my body and become one with me.

If this continues... if this continues... I will be "filled up"!

"Ugh!!!!" I moaned involuntarily, and at the same time, my heart was filled with some unknown emotion.It was a feeling called "satisfaction" that I had never experienced in the past.

"The second stage, achieved. Fusion completion... 1000%."

Ha, what is this AI talking about now...Huh?

Speaking of which, isn't Dragon Knight smaller than before?

No, not right.It's not that the Dragon Knight has gotten smaller, but...

I subconsciously raised my hand.What appeared in front of my eyes was not a mechanical palm, but the slender five fingers of a human girl.The fair and smooth skin was covered with a layer of mysterious runes at some point, exuding a metallic light.

...I, became a dragon knight?

I was stunned for a moment, then checked other parts of my body, and it turned out that except for the metal runes covering the surface of the skin, the parts including the limbs, back, head, chest and other areas were all covered by mechanical armor, and it seemed that it was not Just simply wearing it, but really, it has become a part of my flesh and blood.

What kind of joke is this?Why did I turn into a dragon knight when I was driving a dragon knight?And it still turned into this kind of half-human, half-mechanical appearance... Well, although he is handsome, he is still very handsome, but it is really hard to accept for a while!

Hey, AI, you have been here since just now!Come out and explain it to me!What about "Second Restriction", what about "Garden of Eden", did you just say a lot of information that seems to be quite important?It's time like this, so don't pretend to be dead for me!

"Roar, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! area smashed down.

It's so noisy!People are still thinking about things here!You bastard, give me some peace!

Facing this blow that could easily annihilate the stars, I subconsciously raised my hand while still irritated, and swung it towards the darkness that was not on the same order of magnitude as me... Afterwards, the world was torn apart.

This is by no means an adjective. That terrifying beast, which is countless times larger than a star, has a mass equal to that of a black hole, and whose length is measured in light years, unexpectedly shattered into countless pieces under my random swing. .

"... Huh?" Countless black matter splashed around like a meteorite rain, looking at this doomsday-like scene, but I, the one who initiated the evil, was the one who had the least sense of reality.

What is this?Is it a common big monster that will be killed by the plot in the game?Obviously, if you can't even see the whole picture without the help of a scanner, the terrifying beast that exceeds the size of any known star is... so easily killed?

...No, not right.It's not that guy that's abnormal, but me.

Although I don't know what happened, but I did merge with the dragon knight, and the power I exerted from it far exceeded my imagination.

I didn't expect Dragon Knight to hide such a powerful secret... No, or, is this its true form?It responded to my call, not only the spirit, but also the body, blood, and even destiny are all closely integrated together.

Hmm, I don't know what happened, but let's call it the Dragon Knight Eden form for the time being.

In other words, the guy I crushed just now doesn't seem to be dead, the scattered fragments are floating all over the universe, persistently wanting to stick together again.

Suddenly an idea came to my mind, it was the words from "another voice" in my body.

If so, let's do it!

I slowly raised my right hand, facing the world here, and said majestically: "Stars, recruit here."

My voice is not loud, but under the influence of certain rules, it echoes clearly in the world.Those stars that were originally dim under the immersion of the Kuroshio suddenly became brighter at this moment.

"I am the star that destroys the darkness, and the sign that calls out to the light. Hear my command, stars!"

That's right, this is exactly the unique power possessed by Dragon Knight.

Limit... Break!

"The Aurora of Star Destroyer!"

Hundreds of millions of stars are shining together and connected together. The light they emit penetrates the darkness without hindrance, and hits every piece of darkness with precision. It evaporates.And that gigantic "beast of doom", under successive attacks from the stars, went extinct together with the endless black tide.

This is the real, terrifying power of Dragon Knight that can change the rules.No wonder the human beings were able to survive the attack of the beasts until now. If every legendary dragon knight possessed such power, no matter how many beasts of this level came, it would not be scary. On the side of the Calamity Beast, it is even more remarkable to be able to survive until now.

……Um?Wait, since even I can activate the Eden form accidentally, then those saviors should also have this ability.In this case, the record in the history books that the savior and the "beast of the doomsday" died together is a bit inconceivable.To be honest, I don't think that the mere beast of doom can defeat the savior in the form of Eden. It is precisely because of personal experience that I understand better how powerful this is, a force that transcends the rules.

If my assumption is correct, then there must be something else that really kills the saviors.

"..." For some reason, my body suddenly felt a little cold.Obviously I have completely dealt with that terrible disaster beast, but I can't let go of my heart at all.

Gods, dragon knights, Eden, disaster beasts... The secrets hidden in this world may be much deeper than I imagined.

...In short, since the scene has not changed, it should mean that the test is completely over. It would be better not to think about such horrible things for the time being. After all, it is only a simulation. No one can guarantee that it will match the real thing, right? ?

Chapter 72 Temporary Peace

I slowly opened my eyes, and the surrounding scenery disappeared as the Kuroshio receded.I returned to the original connecting cabin and stretched hard.Although it feels like a long time has passed in the virtual world, it seems that less than an hour has passed in reality.

With the landing of the bracket, I finally returned to the ground from that small space.As soon as I went out, I met Luota and Qiu who looked at me with a strange expression, and couldn't help asking: "...what's wrong?"

"Ah, you really made a lot of noise this time." Lotta smiled wryly, and I just responded with a look of "what is this guy talking about?"

"...test, passed?"

"Well, of course, it can be said that it even completely exceeded my expectations." Lota smiled, "...Well, although it's a pity that I didn't see the last part, but you have fully proved your strength. Really amazing."

Missed the last part?what does that mean?Could it be that it refers to the scene where the "Beast of Doom" appears?In other words, Lotta doesn't know about the "Form of Eden" either?Although I don't know if it's true or not, but since she doesn't plan to ask, I won't take the initiative to reveal the information.

"...is that all right?"

"Well, I have obtained a lot of interesting data. In addition, I seem to have forgotten to inform you about something. The expedition team composed of the four major forces will set off for the Dead Star Sea in three days."

"...so fast?" I was taken aback.

"Don't underestimate the intelligence network of the four major forces. As long as they are serious, there will be no secrets in this world that can be kept from them." Lota took a deep look at me, "However, because the current The battle between the big powers and the Calamity Beasts is becoming more and more stalemate, unable to mobilize most of the troops, they can only send some non-main teams to investigate. I am afraid that the murderer also understands this, so he dares to commit such a heinous crime under the eyes of the four big powers. In order to make up for the shortage of manpower, they even hired a lot of mercenaries, if you want to sneak in quietly, then three days later is the best time."

Indeed, if I joined the expedition team as a mercenary, then no one would notice my true identity... probably.

As if noticing my concerns, Lota waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will try to find a way to help you get a fake identity. As for the Dragon Knight, in the short term, I want to design one from scratch that is completely in line with your identity." Your exclusive dragon knight should be helpless, but if it is simply processed and reused, it can barely catch up. It just so happens that I just received a dragon knight that has not yet completed the certification. After a few days, it will be Leave it to you for the time being.”

"……is this OK?"

"Well, of course, this is our deal after all. If you want to get something, you must pay something." Lotta smiled.She is really beautiful. Although she is not yet an adult, she already possesses the beauty of the country and the city. I am afraid that in this world, I don’t know how many boys will go forward without regard for life and death just to see her smile, but in my opinion However, there was no trace of warmth in her smile, only the indifference of a god looking down on the world.

One day, her existence will create a bottomless vortex in this world, but that kind of thing has nothing to do with me.Lota is right, this is just an ordinary transaction, I need her strength to cover me, and she also needs my ability to lay the foundation for her ambition, both sides owe nothing to each other.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, Qiu." Lota turned her head and said to the girl beside the escalator on the second floor.

"...Cut." Qiu clicked his tongue in obvious displeasure, "...I knew there was something wrong with you who came here on purpose."

"Can it be done?"

"...I see." Qiu reluctantly agreed, then turned and walked to the depths of the corridor.Before she left, she gave me one last savage look, which made me look puzzled, and I couldn't figure out why I had provoked her.

"Don't look at her like that, in fact, she really cares about you. After all, in a sense, she can be regarded as your relative." Lota patted me on the shoulder, implying that I don't care.

"???"

After you said that, I became more concerned about it!

Having said that, though, I didn't really feel hostility toward the girl, but rather some complex, indescribable emotion.What exactly is that?I don't understand what kind of hell mode it is for a sociophobic person to understand other people's emotions.
