(Miluno)

The Earth Crystal's blessing upon Ceruno, however, made the "Black Pool" feel threatened.

It slowed its pursuit of us, turned to face the azure bubbles, and paused for a moment, yet there was an atmosphere of pent-up energy.

If the "Black Pool" is the agent of the "Great Will," then Ceruno is the Proxy chosen by the "Earth's Will."

At this very moment.

It is a clash between the wills of two worlds.

"It's true that there's an instinctive resistance to it."

Mono also said, "I hate that Earth's Will called Terra too! But my rationality allows me to suppress that instinct and not rush in to fight like this thing."

It has nothing to do with instinct, but I also hate her.

And it's normal to dislike her, after all, she's the kind of person who wants to devour Ceruno while claiming to be on the side of righteousness and morality...

They're enemies no matter how you look at it.

The enormous body of "Black Pool" climbed up the protective shield, its muddy darkness covering the azure bubbles, and continued to climb upwards.

Its purpose is not hard to guess: it wants to use its own body to block the power of "Terra" transmitted from the wormhole. However, this stops the long-range artillery. Obviously, the "Supreme Council" also knows what this thing is. They are not so sure that they would fire on their own "mother".

"If we lose the blessing of the Earth Crystal, not only will Ceruno be covered by the 'Black Pool,' but this stuff will also flood into the underground passage through the gates of the Central District, and everyone will be doomed."

Mono said this, but she didn't know what to do either. As she had said before, we lacked an effective strategy to deal with the behemoth before us.

It is enormous in size, resistant to impact, cannot be absorbed, and is immune to magic.

I can't think of any way to stop her except by running away.

"We can't just stand by and watch, can we?"

In fact, we should be dealing with the regrouped Monster and witches, and the bipedal mechs among them.

Long-range firepower ceased, but local forces at close range surrounded them, ready to coordinate with "Black Pool" to attack the Central District.

"Tsk, now it's your turn to control the body."

Mono suddenly switched hands with me, and before I could react, I almost fell face-first to the ground.

Afterwards, he explained in my head, "If you take the helm, I can manipulate Dark Energy to interfere with the enemy. Otherwise, you'll just be a nagging burden in the passenger seat, like an unpleasant passenger."

What's with this strangely relatable metaphor...?

Taking control of the body, I glanced one last time at Ceruno's bubble shield before turning to face the murderous Monster and witch, as well as the enemy...

Bipedal mech.

These ancient civilization relics, mechs, are only five or six meters tall, but they still stand out on the battlefield. Their streamlined surfaces reflect a futuristic light, and their sturdy lower limbs provide considerable stability. A turret and a mechanical arm carrying guns are mounted on the frame.

It's bulky, yet full of power. It's quite magical to see something like this on the battlefield, and it really stimulates people's adolescent fantasies.

After all, most men find it hard to resist the allure of machinery; otherwise, how could a new concept like "mecha girls" have been created?

Even soldiers on the battlefield call their warships, fighter jets, and even guns "wife."

Bang--

Although this thing is slow, as a cutting-edge legacy of the Natives civilization, it has quite good protection. When I slashed at it with my twin swords, I could only get sparks, and I couldn't even see a scratch... If you look closely, there is a honeycomb pattern of energy shield on the surface of the armor, which is strong enough to block my slashes.

I'm quite strong; I can easily stop a dump truck at full throttle with my bare hands, and I can even split metal with my bare hands...

"Hey, watch out!" Mono warned.

As soon as I stood directly above the mech's hood, the machine guns on its head locked onto me, spitting out tongues of fire at an extremely high frequency. Of course, I jumped away before I was hit, searching for weaknesses in this metal behemoth.

"Tsk, these mechs should be easily crushed by 'Black Pool,' but I can't even crack their shells?"

When I asked that, Mono replied, "Brute force is not advisable. You've become this barbarian-like body because you rely on brute strength all the time! Learn from Ceruno- chan and think more about the clever use of magic... Hmm, let's try 'Time Severing' here!"

My magic is the power of time.

When magic that simultaneously accelerates and decelerates a target is applied, the collision of these two opposing forces creates a "sharp" slit in time.

I've considered this move before; Mono used it with great power, but I always failed.

He flipped over and slid down to the groin, grabbing the mech's legs with both hands to apply acceleration and deceleration magic.

Ha!!!

Without even a sound of shattering, the bipedal mech silently split open. The side that accelerated exploded quickly, but the other side was even a fraction of a second slower to fall.

Remarkable results!!

Although he maintained a cold and aloof expression, he was inwardly thrilled by this power—truly amazing!

If they could tear through this energy shield, then tearing apart a barrier by hand might not be impossible?

"Stop bragging! You're currently carrying a deity inside your body!"

They're clearly just half-baked gods, so who's really bragging about it?

When I used Time Severing, it looked like I was tearing a Gundam apart with my bare hands.

The Monster and witches around me were stunned for a few seconds before they thought of retaliating, but those few seconds were enough for me to run to the next mech.

These self-propelled firepower platforms pose the greatest threat to Ceruno's shield, and I must prioritize eliminating these potentially threatening enemies during Ceruno against "Black Pool".

Mono wasn't idle either. Her body was overflowing with Dark Energy, which became her capital for reckless spending. She radiated pure darkness as a means of long-range attacks. This darkness housed Mono's will. After destroying her opponents within her body, it would bring back the Simulacrum Factor of those Monsters and Modified Witch to my side to be slowly digested.

Her power has grown to the point where she can overwhelm Monster and witches.

Perhaps we can truly end this war... but we must first deal with the "Black Pool" in front of us. The Monster and witches were merely weapons of invasion by the "Great Will" from the very beginning; the true mastermind has only now stepped into the limelight.

What was Mono thinking again?

"I mean, why can't we use that Time Severing on 'Black Pool'?"

"If you use a knife to cut mud, can you cut it?" I asked.

"First, freeze her, then use 'Time Severing' to break her down into smaller pieces, and I can gradually devour her... Aren't there Little Haite and that other guy?"

I understand what she means. She wants Sun Ji to freeze "Black Pool," and with brainwashing expert SpiCa present, it's not impossible...

"Oh no, it's too late!"

After dismantling another mech with my bare hands, I turned to look at the Central District.

The azure Light Flow transmitted from the wormhole is about to be blocked by the "Black Pool," and Ceruno's shield is gradually losing its luster...

The sky is about to fall.
