Tyra, your ancestors are back!

"Not sure, we are still trying, Your Highness the Regent - as I said, it will take time."

"As soon as possible... Sin Absolver, it is not my sister who has much time left now, but us - she said something right... The revival of Kazdel and even Sakaz This is the only chance left.”

"Do as much as I can, Your Highness the Regent."

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

.....

"You are troubled by that curse, the shackles of the void left by the Forerunner Archon - interesting little thing, do you want me to help you?"

In the aisle of the Sarkaz Royal Court, the leader of the Forgiveness Division who had talked with Teresis hurriedly rushed towards the underground place where the war weapon was stored...

——And a weird, distorted, and extremely piercing voice invaded his mind without warning.Along with this voice, the surrounding environment fell into darkness for no reason...

"Who?!"

"Jie Jie Jie—it doesn't matter who I am, little thing, the important thing is that you need the power of the ancient weapons of the forerunners, isn't it?"

"I can help you obtain those powers, not only what the regent wants; but also what you, the absolutist want—the real power from the depths of your soul."

"You know? Those pioneers in the past also mastered this kind of power to stand on the top of civilization—"

There seems to be some kind of power in the words of this depraved and distorted voice, as if hypnotically changing the cognition and consciousness of the leader of the Absolution Master...

Their lineage's exploration and control of soul inheritance gave this strange voice an opportunity.

"The power of the Forerunner...and the power of the soul...."

The black-robed Sarkaz stood there and muttered to himself——

"That's right - the power of the forerunners, endless power!"

"We... need power.. Kazdel and Sarkaz need... this power."

Immediately, the tone of the mysterious voice became a little impatient——

"Yes, that's right—that's it, power! Endless power!"

Accompanied by the muttering of the absolutist and the wave of strange voices, this unpassed passage was plunged into darkness. If anyone approached, he would probably only hear the distorted and weird muttering in the complete darkness. A chuckle of delight after succeeding with something inhuman.

And in the spacious aisle where the darkness dissipated, only the figure of the "Absolution Master" remained, and that distorted and weird voice seemed to have disappeared long ago—if anyone finds that the latter's voice gradually distorted into If it is a non-human shadow, maybe you will notice something is wrong.

.....

"Our time is running out - I'm the last, we're the last, we don't want to end, we want to live..."

The words uttered from the body of the absolutist were endowed with another meaning at this moment——

Accompanied by the fragments of life woven in the hands of the Grand Consul Alice Saleh somewhere far away, it was wiped out from the virtual world and the physical universe—the "he" at this moment, or this "" "Absolutionist" is the only remaining fragment.

Out of the fear of survival and the desire for the continuation of the concept of "life", this small evil fragment chose the most radical path...

Although he doesn't know who is the existence that erased the other fragment, as long as he successfully drives the weapons left by the old humans, there will be absolutely no existence in this era that can become a threat to him.

And that's not too difficult for it...the powers from the warp can do more than take away the ignorant and pathetic Sarkaz.

However, this piece of residue from the void seems to have forgotten a small thing...

——The ethnic group named Sarkaz, who created this race, who is the will in the deepest source of blood...

Chapter 1 Debut and become an idol, Ms. Eden——

Paleoanthropoid Sanctuary in the Unnamed Mountains North of Kazdale

The captain of the disobedient team is reporting the inspection to Alice——

"It's about the same as what you saw when you used the psionic backtracking, Commander."

"Here is a group of extreme cult organizations that worship the thread of life—as the thread of life in the virtual world should be a neutral consciousness, and only this kind of fanatical and distorted worship can let the The shards you crushed twisted them like this."

AK12, which had read the shelter records, returned to Alice and reported to her the discovery in this private shelter.

"I don't know if it's troublesome..."

Alice curled her lips.

"What's wrong with these fragments, Commander."

"No, these fragments are essentially the last struggle of those Void Gods in the past—if it wasn't for the energy emanating from the origin stones everywhere in this land, they would have dissipated long ago."

"Compared to Terra itself, today's Void Realm is very clean..."

"What determines the nature of these fragments is the emotional mapping of the real universe - as you said, usually this is neutral, regardless of the physical universe or the virtual world, the world always maintains a wonderful balance... .”

"It won't be too extreme, and it won't be too weak—it can even be said that it is the fairest deal with them. This is to maintain a neutral biological characteristic of the virtual world."

"That's why in the past we didn't consider destroying these four imaginary creatures. We didn't even consider targeting them when we made the ether phase engine—they didn't pose a threat, and they could even get some buffs from time to time."

The Consul shrugged—

“Because they are neutral in nature, there is essentially no clear personal subjective consciousness.”

"The ones who are really disgusting are those fanatics-these imaginary creatures are absolutely not to be believed in-fanatic and extreme emotions will affect the nature of these imaginary creatures, causing them to gradually deviate from the "neutral" position , become an existence that we don't want to see. Although this process will be very long and long, it is not non-existent."

"This is also the reason why in the old days, when raiding the dens of cultists, the commando would bring high-level psykers or killing bombs-the souls of those believers must be completely annihilated, and no trace of feedback can return to those Void creatures."

Alice stopped talking, as if waiting for the AK12 in front of her to understand——

"So you were bullying honest people back then, weren't you? Rushed into the Void to beat up a few ignorant kids and ask what is the ultimate answer to the universe?"

Before the aftertaste of AK12 was completed, the words of the tuberculosis sword hung on Miss Alice's waist came in, and began to diss the past "full of evil" actions of the archons.

At this moment, the terrifying demon sword has lost its terrifying shape, and from the outside it looks like just a gorgeously decorated power sword - but this cannot change the broken nature of the latter.

"Why should we think about things we can ask directly?"

Miss Alice's reply was also very simple and rude, even with a little perseverance.

"I tm.... No wonder you guys are forcing the leader's civilization to develop so fast - if you get stuck, just check the strategy, right?"

"That's right, especially the guy named Whisper of the Void - he'd be great as a Wikipedia envoy."

Miss Alice showed a nostalgic and happy expression.

"Tsk - I said that you are the evil forces in the virtual world and you still don't recognize it! You guys are the evil gods in the virtual world, right?"

"Ah--"

As for Demon Sword's response, Alice had only a disdainful sneer.

"...Affected by the strong emotions of the real universe...? I have an idea, Commander"

After understanding, AK12 looked at Alice in front of him, and made a bold guess.

"Oh? 12, what do you think?"

"Commander, in this quiet universe, there are only us now, and only this planet under our feet—"

"And what this land has developed after we have been dormant, we have seen it for all to see—although Commander, you said that these are just residues, they don't even have instincts, and they can't be completely rebuilt."

"But some of these fragments may have absorbed a lot of extreme emotions in Terra's era, and their nature has been distorted-if someone really finds them, believes in and worships them, or is simply integrated into one body by the fragments if..."

"Commander, imagine what would happen to those Sarkaz who were killed by us..."

“…”

Miss Alice was lost in thought...

Ding-dong-

Just as Miss Consul began to reassess the threat these fragments might pose in the future, her communicator rang...

Alice took out the terminal and glanced at it roughly, then rolled her eyes——

"Congratulations, 12—you probably hit the mark."

"what....?"

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

"Duck Jue and the others found Governor Perika, and met Eden and Patuo by chance—"

"Pelica herself brought news... She had annihilated a group of worshipers of the Instrument of Desire, a fragment hidden within the statue, in Lancawood, Colombia."

Alice shook her head after carefully reading the report...

"Do you want to increase the response to these fragments to the first priority? Commander."

AK12 asked looking at Alice's unhappy expression.

"It's not necessary...according to the information provided by Perika and the situation we encountered..."

"Most of these fragments have very weak connections to the virtual realm... Their current existence is actually more similar to the god called Yela on the snow mountain we saw before, or what Kelsi called the giant existence of the beast."

"A strange creature that is formed through the energy emitted by the source stones densely scattered on this land and the environment itself - and they may not be able to compete with these giant beasts in this regard... For now, they are identified as chickens. "

"What if they successfully gather enough power to return to the virtual realm?"

"Dracnion has a good saying, AK12 - the old gangsters and urban management in the virtual world are indeed us... They were in the past, and they can only be more so now."

Of course, Miss Alice who made the judgment has not yet known...

In the royal capital of Sarkaz in the distance, because one of the only two fragments was annihilated by her, a small fragment of the survival instinct was born and the soul of the absolution master was combined—that way is wild to a certain extent. He will come up with some subspace unique skills for her.

"But there are worshipers of the utensils of desire in Columbia... Hey, there are no believers in our generation - Ms. Eden is not prettier than her, and she really looks... better than the one in the virtual world I don’t know how high the illusory thing is..."

"Hmm... I think I have a more suitable method—"

Mumbling Alice seemed to think of something, and narrowed her eyes.

"Uh... Commander, what do you want to do???"

AK12 looked at the commander who didn't know what to do, and trembled all over...

"Hi, Yajue—can I get in touch with Ms. Eden now?"

.....

"Yeah, it's me, Alice—Eden, go out and become an idol, right?"

【Eh? 】

——On the streets of Colombia in the distance, facing the seemingly nonsensical request of her companion, the mature woman with long wine-red hair made a somewhat cute voice of doubt.

Chapter 1 Welcome to the End Industry, Mr. Director

The end industry, a rising star in Columbia, no... Maybe we can't call it a new star anymore... Reshaping the entire Alaska city in half a month, this kind of power, Calling it a giant would be an act of disrespect—

Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI, walked the streets of New Alaska City, looked at the completely new city, raised his evaluation of future partners of the Bureau, and was completely convinced that he had made a choice correctness.

Towering buildings with a unique artistic style, high-rise buildings dotted with pure white and blue patterns, clean streets, and various autonomous robots drive by on the streets or pass in the sky.

"Look, Bond—I told you, I'm not mistaken."

For the first time, Director Hoover, who met the gods in this city that seemed to have traveled from the future, fell into a "little" shock.

"No, Director, look at the sky - what kind of thing is that???"

What the detective accidentally looked up and saw left a deep impression on him for the rest of his life, and was even included in his personal biography——

[It was a silver-gray battleship, about 500 meters in length—the pincer-shaped bow and sharp lines formed the main tone of this battleship, and this lady cut through the dark sky like a halberd .

....Yes, that's right... She flies in the air - not as bloated, slender, and elegant as Victoria's airships, but without losing the beauty brought by the sharpness and streamlined shape of the battleship itself. Those huge broadsides are clearly visible...

I swear, every broadside gun on that battleship is more powerful than the city defense guns I have seen in Victoria's never-falling city. I seem to be able to smell the fighting from the distant past in those deep gun muzzles and roar.

——This lady has experienced enough to be called a warrior of the eternal war and even the long night. I am so sure, even now. 】

"Bond... do you think this thing is more threatening than Victoria's air fleet?"

Hoover, who was reminded by Bond, also looked up at the sky. Of course - without the agent's prompting, the director should also notice that although this ship may not be comparable in size to a super-large land cruiser, it is no matter whether it is technical or not. An air battleship superior in other respects.

——This battleship is landing, and the target is the city where I am.

"I'll bet on my next month's salary, Chief—this thing can knock down Victoria's air fleet single-handedly, and then knock down the gates and walls of Londinium, Victoria's legendary never-falling city .”

"Is this thing really a creation of this era? Director?"

As the battleship got closer and closer to the city, the two from the FBI were able to really observe the details of the battleship——

This thing has no downward jets at all, or anything to provide downward propulsion, but it also doesn't have the bloated airbags of the Victorian Air Fleet that keep the hull afloat.

"Although the lady revealed to us...the technology of the end comes from those more ancient and distant times-but she didn't tell us that they can make such a behemoth."
