The King Who Protects Humanity

"Mechanism Engraving complete"

"Externally Enchanted Combat Mount - Alkaid Series - Prototype Ace Mech - Royal Knight - Armament Release Begins"

With a voice prompt, a futuristic-looking spear swiftly sprang from the side of the warhorse and was grasped by Etzel.

"Destruction Mode activated!"

Etzel brandished his lance, issuing a command, and with that sound, the armor on the white metal horse immediately began to change.

The single horn on its head, which resembled an antenna, split in two, forming a "V" shape, and the warhorse's face also began to open.

Its shape has completely changed; the original white armor has slid open at the joints, revealing the internal structure that emits a red glow.

This is a genuine, powerful warhorse-shaped weapon brimming with surging magic... that much is undeniable.

But...

"..."

"The art style feels a bit different from ours..."

As Takemikazuchi, who was hiding in the pile of Tamamo's tails, said this, he rubbed his chin before being mercilessly pulled out by Cong Yu's large hand.

He complained so much today!

You've already vented all your frustrations, what are the readers supposed to vent about?!

"Because E. T. is technically a weirdo with alien blood... She's a human on Earth, but an alien on another planet."

As she said this, Cong Yu ruffled Takemikazuchi's head and said, "You, a Thunder Beast belonging to mythology, have no right to talk about aliens..."

To be honest, everyone here comes from a variety of backgrounds and has a wide range of origins.

There are ice elemental beings, mythical fox spirits, Thunder Beast that follow the gods, and Odin, the great god who walks the path of the gods himself.

There are also gangster rappers who love to sing, and modern versions of Celtic mythology like King Arthur (female)...

The Monster King group seems quite diverse.

There were Black people, white people, elderly people, children, people of all genders, and even small animals... What? Is this what LGBT+ is?!

To be honest, ever since Cong Yu met Etzel, she felt that his strength and background were quite extraordinary.

If we were to say that the flags planted before the revolution were all deadly flags for teachers, then...

Etzel's character design involves quite a few stitches, but each one is incredibly strong... at least they don't seem like weaklings.

Attila the Stellar Vanguard, Calyrex, Unicorn Gundam, Wild Hunt.

Besides...

Knights of the Apocalypse.

Thinking this, Cong Yu looked up at the sky.

"They've arrived."

In the cluster

The moment Yu spoke those words, the aura of destruction that had been gathering and solidifying in the air began to materialize completely.

At this moment, Cong Yu was able to confirm the true nature of the attack...

It's light... something like laser engraving or laser rust removal, a pure Light Beam created out of thin air!

"We've been waiting for you!"

Etzel smiled, riding her white and red horse, facing the sky as it crumbled, raising her spear high.

[When the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals, he saw a white horse with a bow on its rider, and a crown was given to the Lamb. He went forth and won and wanted to win again.]

[When the second seal was opened, another horse appeared, this one red. And authority was given to the rider to take peace from the earth and to turn people against one another.]

Those present could not fully appreciate the power of the laser... because they could only feel the heat, but could not ascertain its extent.

However, Etzel was using magic, so everyone could see just how terrifyingly dazzling the light emanating from her spear was.

"Whoosh!!!"

The bright Light Beam descended from the sky at an extremely high speed, determined to annihilate all living beings it captured within the Mexico region.

This was a massive, magnificent beam of light, so large that it was almost impossible to see its entirety, enough to Light Beam the entire city...

However, before it reaches the ground.

Then another, even larger Light Beam flew upwards and struck the descending Light Beam directly, intersecting and merging together.

"Zzzzzzz!!!!!"

The deafening explosion and the sudden burst of terrifying brightness caused everyone except Etzel to avert their gaze.

Although they maintained their composure as queens, it didn't mean they had to keep staring at the ridiculously bright sky.

It's simply unnecessary.

"Hahaha! Minion attack! It didn't work after all! It was just a weak Light Beam. Watch me push it back!"

Etzel, on the other hand, rarely had the chance to unleash her power freely. So she sounded incredibly excited, "Triangle Acceleration, ready! Limiters at full power! All adjustment systems activated! GO! Its name is—"

"The Final Apocalypse!!!"

With Etzel's power fully unleashed, the descending Light Beam appeared as tiny and insignificant as a mosquito hit by a cannon.

Then it was instantly swallowed up!

Etzel's Light Cannon shot straight into the clouds, shattering the entire sky with a deafening roar.

"Boom!!!!"

The barrier was shattered, creating a huge hole. The real sky behind the barrier, including the clouds, was also torn apart and tangled together.

The immense impact and wind pressure blew off Saint King's hood, and her golden hair danced in the gale, bringing with it a scent reminiscent of oak and currant, reminiscent of bluebells in Britain town.

"..." Shuten (swallowing): "Gulp--"

Thankfully, a fight didn't break out, otherwise... we might have lost.

Chapter 370 The King Who Protects Humanity

Etzel deflected the descending Light Beam with the ease of swatting a mosquito with a cannon... Such an attack would be impossible for Carlos Mario to withstand as well.

After all, this wasn't Etzel's full effort.

However, everyone quickly returned to the Jormungandr Train in the Cong Yu... in a way, they managed to escape.

Because several tens of seconds after Etzel blocked the Light Beam and destroyed the barrier, the barrier had already begun to gradually heal.

And at the moment when that dangerous light converged once more...

The group decided against a direct confrontation.

It's a waste of your time and energy.

"..."

"What exactly is that?"

As always, Takemikazuchi adhered to the principle of asking questions when he didn't understand, and curiously asked everyone, "That's not a human weapon from a movie, is it? It's not a magic spell either... I can't sense any magic power at all."

As for Takemikazuchi's question, Cong Yu and King Odin spoke simultaneously, offering their answers in unison.

"The Art Beyond Sorcery." x2

"..." Seeing the puzzled Takemikazuchi and the other kings who didn't know much about this, Cong Yu began to explain, "A spell that uses magic is called a spell, while something similar to a spell that doesn't involve magic is called a 'Art Beyond Sorcery'."

The most classic example is divination.

"Hmm, similar to voodoo and ancient curses? Is that right?"

The Death King said this, and he was right; it was indeed a classic Art Beyond Sorcery.

However, Cong Yu's research in this area is not actually very in-depth.

Among the Monster King present, Cong Yu is considered to be a talent with relatively high cultural attainments...

After all, the reason for being king is power.

In other words...

As long as you can fight, you can become the Monster King, regardless of whether you've been to school or how well you did in school.

However, King Odin seems to have some knowledge in this area.

Or perhaps he has always been very knowledgeable...

"Yes, witchcraft is the Art Beyond Sorcery."

As he spoke, King Odin, stroking his beard with unhurried ease, slowly explained, "And the predecessors of chanting-based spells were actually Art Beyond Sorcery."

"Before the concept of magic techniques became widely known, in my area, some people called them 'miracles' or 'miracles'."

"Rain-seeking rituals, methods to summon wind and rain, and... the miracle of parting the sea—these are all Art Beyond Sorcery."

King Odin spoke thus, like a kind old man. "To put it simply, it's Divine Art... magic related to the gods."

Even if it's Divine Art.

Where does that power come from? Is it supplied by the gods? Or is it connected to some Spirit Vein?

Cong Yu pondered this, considering the principles behind the other party's "Art Beyond Sorcery" with the mindset of a rational 22nd-century youth.

But he soon realized that he was doing something futile.

Because Art Beyond Sorcery might be things created out of nothing...

Just like divination... where does the "energy" needed to predict the future come from?

That is clearly not the case.

It might be a power created out of thin air, something fabricated out of nothing. That's why it was able to use a "technique"-like barrier to lock onto the unit that needed to be eliminated and then continuously gather Light Beam to attack.

"Oh dear, that's dangerous!"

The Rap King looked guilty and said, "If I got hit, I'd probably have a terrible headache! Even if I could block it, it wouldn't feel good! Oh!"

That is indeed the case.

However, that's all it is... For a top player, it would probably be "very painful".

Even Rap King of that caliber should be able to easily withstand those attacks...

So, what exactly happened to Carlos Mario?

Thinking this, Cong Yu looked at Carlos Mario's Twitter, which remained completely silent on her phone, and then controlled the train to wander through Mexico.

Then, the Snow Woman seemed to have discovered something.

"Over there... there seems to be a surviving town."

As the Snow Woman spoke, Cong Yu peeked out. Although he couldn't see very clearly, he blindly believed what the Snow Woman said.

So he simply controlled the train and drove it forward.

Faintly visible...

There were three or four small towns that didn't seem to have been destroyed... However, Light Beam, filled with destruction, were already hanging high in the sky and were about to descend.

From this perspective, Cong Yu and her group arrived at just the right time.

It's not about saving people at the perfect time... after all, most of them were already dead, so arriving would definitely be too late.

However, at least there are survivors who can learn what happened in Mexico.

"Hold on tight! I'm about to accelerate!"

"Jormungandr Train! Sprint! Sprint! Go!"

--

"Your Majesty! Give up... You must run away!"

"This is God's punishment for our sins. Leave Mexico, Carlos! You deserve to rule a better country!"

The townspeople roared and shouted at the exhausted Monster King, "Run! Run!!"

Mexico is dead; it has no future.

Of course, besides these people, there was another group who were wailing and cursing, unable to accept reality.
