"Clang—!"

Luo Mio's 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' pierced straight through the large rock behind her.

Watching the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' slowly transform into a shower of blue starlight, Luo Mio turned her gaze to the other side.

Under Luo Mio's gaze, Fukir looked at Luo Mio with a serious and solemn expression, his hand gripping the Mecha Shell Sword unconsciously tightening.

Luo Mio looked at Fukir and spoke.

"The Dominator's Realm..."

"Lindwurm's Mecha Shell Sword... I don't think so."

"Changing Machine Dragon... In other words, the Ouroboros in your possession can transform into any Divine Machine Dragon, and even utilize their divine-armor abilities..."

Fukir looked at Luo Mio and smiled gently.

"Ouroboros's Special Armament, 'Cycle of Rebirth,' has the ability, just as you said, to transform into any Divine Machine Dragon and use their divine armor."

After saying that, Fukir raised the Mecha Shell Sword in his hand.

At this moment, the Mecha Shell Sword transformed into a jet-black longsword with blood-red patterns, just like Lux's Bachmut's Mecha Shell Sword.

The next instant, light burst forth.

Fukir, piloting the 'Bahamut', appeared before Luo Mio's eyes.

Luo Mio watched in silence as Fukir used the Bahamut formed by the Cycle of Rebirth, and then Star Flame quietly ignited around her.

Chapter 45: Dagakotowalu!

"Life and Death Flow!"

As soon as Fukir's voice rang out, Luo Mio's eyes flickered.

Then he looked around.

At this moment, Luo Mio and Fukir were in another space.

It seems that besides the Special Armament 'Cycle of Rebirth' that allows it to transform into other mecha-dragons, Fukir's Ouroboros also possesses the ability to Space Transfer...

Then Luo Mio turned her gaze to Fukir, looking at Bahamut, which was formed by Fukir's 'Reincarnation' of Ouroboros.

"Since it can be transformed into other Divine Machine Dragon, that means... the real 'Black Hero' of the coup five years ago was actually you, right?"

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fukir smiled slightly.

"That's right. Five years ago, during the coup, I was the one who truly annihilated the 1,200 Dragoride that were the elite troops of the Old Empire."

It turns out that it was on the day of the political coup five years ago.

Because a spy sent by the Old Empire emperor became an internal traitor and infiltrated Count Artysmart's inner circle, he betrayed the emperor on the day of the final battle, which led to Count Artysmart's being framed and killed.

Furthermore, Airi was also captured and imprisoned, and even taken hostage in the palace hall, which sealed off all of Lux's actions, leaving Lux completely helpless.

At that moment, Fukir, piloting Bahamut, which was the embodiment of Ouroboros's 'reincarnation', suddenly appeared.

And he exterminated all the guards and retainers...

"I see..." Luo Mio narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at Fukir from the Pocket Dimension.

"Deliberately kill all the royal family, guards, and retainers, leaving only Lux and Airi, and then use the pretext of Count Artysmart's death to allow Lux to rightfully lead the people as the new king. This act will allow you to revise history."

"And even now, you're secretly using your pre-ordained schemes to guide Lux in battle, ultimately making him the new king, right?"

"And in this game, the Mecha Shell Sword of the Divine Machine Dragon you once possessed will become the means to lure Lux down the path you anticipated. Risha's Diamat is one such part of the plan, am I right?"

"As a survivor, Lux will surely live in the New Kingdom as a sinner created by the Empire. Sooner or later he will come into contact with Lisha, and through that, you can begin your next plan."

"You said that in terms of purpose, you and Haitz are in cahoots."

"And now, Heiz appears before us as the strategist of the Heiburg Republic's strategist and a black market merchant. Considering that you guided Lux to become the new king, it means that you intend to control all the countries in the world. In addition to Heiz, the Holy Arcadia Empire has two other princesses. Besides the most important first princess, the second princess is now also hiding in some country, just like Heiz."

"Furthermore, you intentionally or unintentionally handed over your Divine Machine Dragon Mecha Shell Sword, to other people. This means that these people must be the most important figures in the country, such as... the 'Seven Dragon Knights'."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Fukir remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly and looked at Luo Mio, speaking slowly.

"Bianca, you are perhaps the most terrifying person I have ever met in the past thousand years. You were able to deduce everything from just a little bit of useful information. I have never encountered such wisdom in the past thousand years."

"That's right, just as you said."

Then, Fukir raised his head, his gray eyes seeming to be recalling something.

"Once upon a time, there was a young girl who was both royalty and a genius in invention. She created ruins, hoping that their power could serve the world. She strengthened her brain through baptism and then used it to manipulate the 'Great Sanctuary' to pray for the salvation of someone who asked for nothing in return. She saved me, saving me from what was then considered filthy and evil."

"But what can you do after saving a weak person? The hegemonic system established by the strong cannot be easily overthrown."

"Even the royal family of the Old Arcadia Empire was once a group of weak people who were exploited and abused."

"But what happens? As time goes by, they will gradually forget their original intentions and forget that their lineage was once a weakling, like slaves."

Luo Mio's eyes flickered slightly.

If it is as Fukir said.

That is to say, a thousand years ago, Fukir helped the royal ancestors of the Old Arcadia Empire, who were then weak and slaves, to overthrow the rule of the Holy Arcadia Empire and sealed the first, second, and third princesses of the royal family into the ruins.

And this allowed the Old Empire to rule the world for a thousand years, which is why the anthropomorphic automatons of the ruins refer to Lux and Airi as 'a race that betrayed our Creator Lord '.

"Therefore, to save the weak, we need someone who can take on the role of leader, who can act as the central figure, and who can also overturn the system and bring about balance!"

"Having a powerful aura that attracts people and companions is essential to leading the weak to defeat the strong."

"Therefore, it is necessary to select and provide relief to the weak who possess the qualifications, talents, and spirit of resistance, and in special times, they must be protected and nurtured. This is the relief system compiled within 'Eclipse'!"

Luo Mio said, "That's why you guided Lux while he was still growing, and even taught him the three great secrets of the Machine Dragon under your guidance."

"Even when Philphi was captured by the Imperial Army for Human Experimentation, he guided Lux to Ries Island, allowing him to witness Philphi's death firsthand..."

Rescue, screening, training... give despair, and then give the other party a so-called new life.

However, an unexpected event occurred within this existing aid system...

That's right, the accident happened to Luo Mio herself!

Because of Luo Mio's existence, Fukir's plan to guide Lux is gradually and drastically deviating from its intended course.

Luo Mio shrugged and looked at Fukir with a light smile.

"So now, are you going to eliminate me as an accident?"

Fukir laughed and said, "Then can you just quietly leave this stage?"

Luo Mio stroked her chin and then said.

"Not now."

"Then there's nothing more to say."

After saying that, Fukir's 'Bahamut (Reincarnation)' charged towards Luo Mio at high speed, wielding a jet-black Brand Greatsword.

— 'Bingeing'!

Faced with Fukir's attack, Luo Mio stretched out her hands, and the 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' instantly appeared in her hands. She then crossed her arms and slashed at Fukir.

"Clang!"

"Boom------!"

The moment the clang rang out, the violent collision and booming sound spread out like an explosion, and the intense impact rapidly spread in all directions.

Cracks appeared beneath their feet, and pieces of stone flew away from the ground.

A cold glint flashed in Fukir's grey eyes.

—'Resonance Wave '!

Another Special Armament of Bahamut!

It can interfere with the surrounding matter and manipulate small objects!

The next instant, Bahamut's eyes flashed red, and the surrounding air began to vibrate!

In the next instant, the scattered stones and sharp rocks on the ground suddenly rushed towards Luo Mio.

A glimmer of starlight flashed in Luo Mio's azure eyes as she glanced at the stones controlled by the Resonance Wave.

"Boom----!"

The golden-red Stellar Flame Wall instantly traveled along the trajectory of the flying stones.

But the next second, Luo Mio's azure eyes flashed, and her hands, which were locked in a fierce confrontation with the Brand Greatsword in Bahamut's hand, suddenly loosened. The 'Star Abyss Phantom Spear' turned into blue light particles and dissipated, while her figure suddenly flashed backward.

Then, countless fireballs, like falling meteors, landed heavily in the spot where Luo Mio had just been.

Luo Mio did not hesitate at all.

The Golden Flame Power of Stellar Gas instantly condensed into golden radiance on Luo Mio's body. She transformed her wings into Celestial Bow of Stars and turned the Spear of Stars into an arrow. Then, she shot forward Strike of Truth powerful enough to pierce through the rainbow of stars!

—"Star Pierce Radiance"!

A terrifying blow, powerful enough to pierce through 'space', distorted the surrounding space, and the intense golden explosion dyed the entire Pocket Dimension a brilliant golden-red.

However, Luo Mio frowned slightly.

Because the attack just now didn't feel like it hit the target.

With a slight movement of his eyes, he looked towards the other side of the space.

"Phew, that was a terrifying blow. If I hadn't switched things up so quickly, that attack would have been enough to kill me."

Where Luo Mio's gaze was fixed, Fukir, dressed in 'Fafnir (Reincarnation)', smiled gracefully and calmly at her.

"Wise Blood...?"

It's likely that in the split second between the fireball's impact and Luo Mio's dodge, Fukir used 'Reincarnation' to transform Bahamut into Fafnir, and with Wise Blood in foreseeing the future, he managed to evade Luo Mio's powerful attack.

Then they saw Fukir raise his right hand, and a huge, bright red gun appeared on his Fafnir arm.

—'Seven -Sevens Heads '!

Not only can it transform into a mecha dragon, but it can also summon Special Armament from other mecha dragons even when it's in other forms...

"Boom------!"

A bright red energy beam shot straight towards Luo Mio.

Luo Mio's eyes flickered, and she stretched out her right hand.

Special Armament forged with the power of the stars appeared on Luo Mio's right hand. Looking at Hong Se's bright red energy beam, Luo Mio gripped it tightly and then hurled it forward.

—"Enhanced Javelin: Celestial Rainbow"!

The dazzling golden aurora instantly pierced through the beam of light blasted from the Sevens Heads and headed straight for Fukir.

But Fukir spoke very calmly.

"—'Life and Death Flow '!"

Then, Fukir's figure disappeared from Luo Mio's sight.

The next instant, Fukir appeared in another direction.

Luo Mio looked at Fukir.

Did they use the Life and Death Flow to escape to Pocket Dimension...?

The Fukir who emerged from the Pocket Dimension has now transformed into Bahamut once again.

Fukir looked at Luo Mio and said with a helpless expression, as if making a plea.

"It might be a bit naive, but I hope you can leave this stage, okay?"

Luo Mio smiled gently, and then said.

"I refuse."

"Yeah..."

With a soft sigh, Fukir spoke in a low voice.

"—Gluttony!"

In an instant, Fukir's figure flashed like a black lightning bolt, reaching Luo Mio and unleashing a slashing attack.

The howling sound that tore through the gale seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums as the Brand Greatsword transformed into a black flash and instantly slashed down in front of Luo Mio.
