Chapter 590
"Nokote and Airi, find a safe location and keep us informed!"
"Classmate Kurokushifa, your 'Fafnir' has the fastest movement speed. Risha and I will meet up with you soon!"
"Good!"
Nodding, Kurokushifa summoned Fafnir and transformed into a streak of silver light, flying towards the northeast of the royal capital.
Turning around, Celes looked at Philphi.
"Philphi, you stay in the capital and keep an eye out for any other developments!"
Following Celes's words, the women immediately sprang into action.
Then, as if she had thought of something, Celes summoned 'Lindwurm' and looked around.
"Teacher Bianca..."
Without much thought, Celes and Risha immediately flew towards the "Fifth Ruins - Giant Soldier".
After they left, Philphi, who remained behind, suddenly had a change in expression.
'Luo Mio... Teacher?'
Suddenly, Luo Mio's voice echoed in Philphi's mind.
"Philphi, you can leave things to the Kingdom Army's army. There's Rebel Army here."
'I see.'
After saying that, Philphi rushed off in another direction from the capital.
On the outer edge of the capital city, Luo Mio frowned slightly as she looked at the large group of the Rebel Army and phantom beasts in the distant sky.
"Looks like I have no choice but to take action..."
Glancing at the residents behind her who had not yet been safely evacuated from the town, Luo Mio drew Nokote's special-equipped dragon.
After summoning the special mecha dragon, Luo Mio immediately activated 'Limit Release'.
Then, using the camouflage function unique to the Special Mecha Dragon, it instantly transformed into a ghostly figure and charged towards the distant phantom beast and Rebel Army.
"Boom boom boom—!"
"There are enemies! There are enemies!"
"Attack! Attack now!"
Amidst the deafening roar of countless guns and cannons, a ghostly mech, seemingly nonexistent, darted back and forth across the battlefield.
Wherever it went, the Divine Beasts and the Mech Dragons were cut in half.
"Quick! Get the flute out!"
The Rebel Army general spoke quickly.
"Rest--!"
Below, a cold, girlish voice suddenly rang out.
Then four lead-gray steel cables bound the person holding the Horn Flute.
Below, Philphi, piloting the Typhon, coldly observed the enemies in the air.
Luo Mio, piloting the special-equipped dragon, glanced at Philphi below and a slight smile appeared on her lips before turning her gaze back to the hordes of gargoyles.
'It seems... Heiz summoned all the mythical beasts from "The Fifth Ruins: Giant Warrior".'
Those hundreds of mythical beasts lurking in the northwest are probably bait prepared to lure Lux...
"Prepare to die!"
Just as Luo Mio was slightly distracted, a figure appeared directly in front of Luo Mio.
A super-powered Wyvern wielding Mecha Dragon Fang Sword slashed towards Luo Mio.
But as he passed over Luo Mio's mecha dragon, Luo Mio's figure vanished like a phantom.
Then—
"Clang—!"
A dazzling white Sword Aura flashed past.
Luo Mio appeared directly behind the opponent and delivered a diagonal slash.
A simple strike rendered the opponent incapable of fighting.
Just as Luo Mio was about to continue her actions...
"Um?"
Luo Mio suddenly frowned and looked at Nokote's special-equipped mecha dragon.
In an instant, the performance of the special-purpose machine dragon suddenly plummeted.
'It seems unrealistic for ordinary special-grade mecha dragons to maintain such high-intensity, sustained action and attacks while in a 'Limit Release' state...'
This is also the kind of action that Luo Mio performed during battle; even if it were Celes, Lisha, Lux, they wouldn't dare say they could do it.
Because that's like dancing on a knife's edge.
If Luo Mio had acted any longer, Nokote's special-equipped dragon would probably have been destroyed.
If it had turned into another kind of mechanical dragon, Luo Mio wouldn't have felt so heartbroken.
But at this moment, he was using his student's machine dragon.
With no other option, Luo Mio landed on the ground and retrieved the special-equipped dragon.
Just as Luo Mio was about to summon King and Queen, her eyes suddenly flickered.
"Buzz—!"
What followed was as if time had stopped, and everything around was instantly frozen.
The "Fifth Ruins - Giant Warrior" operation has come to a halt; the Rebel Army and the Kingdom Army fighting in the air... everything has been stopped.
Luo Mio was also stunned when she saw what was happening in front of her.
'This is...'
Time-Space Rupture... no, it's even more terrifying than the effect and power of stopping Time-Space Rupture.
The next second, a familiar energy fluctuation instantly passed through the 'World Bubble' inside Luo Mio's body and spread throughout Luo Mio's entire body.
Then, in Luo Mio's Consciousness Space, the system's and Xiao You's voices rang out.
"Host, the connection is complete."
"Boss Mio, the docking with World Bubble is complete!"
Luo Mio was slightly surprised when she heard the system and Xiao You's voices.
"So fast?"
Xiao You's boastful voice rang out, and then she said...
"Hmph, don't you even know who I am?"
The system beside them then spoke.
"Host, would you like to proceed with the complete fusion now?"
"Now..."
Luo Mio glanced at her surroundings.
Luo Mio is currently in the middle of a battlefield. Even if time were to stop for a longer period of time, it would be impossible to delay until Luo Mio has fully integrated into the battlefield. Not to mention, there's the possibility that her return to her true form might cause harm to those around her.
Thinking of this, Luo Mio looked ahead.
Philphi saw his students and their families preparing to use Dragon Bite Explosive Fire to eliminate the Rebel Army before him.
"... Um?"
At this moment, Luo Mio suddenly recalled what she had just been thinking.
'No matter how long the time stop...'
Then Luo Mio asked the system.
"By the way, system, when did your permissions allow you to stop time for such a long time?"
"..."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the system instantly fell into Deathly Stillness silence.
Even Xiao You, who is usually very talkative, fell silent at this moment.
A subtle atmosphere instantly spread.
Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.
"What are you doing here...?"
The next second, Luo Mio looked ahead.
That is...
A very familiar Spatial Teleportation appeared before Luo Mio's eyes.
The dreamlike purple Teleportation Wormhole is filled with a strong sense of space, while the outer perimeter is decorated with gorgeous and dreamlike circuit patterns.
Then a familiar young girl walked out from there.
Her long, violet hair, reaching her heels, swayed gently in the breeze. She wore a deep purple dress over a pure white short skirt, revealing a pair of fair and delicate legs beneath.
The long skirt has four side panels, each lined with vibrant gold patterns.
Her exquisitely beautiful face, like that of an angel descended from heaven, and her Liuli- gold eyes exuded a Queen aura of majesty and absolute oppression.
Luo Mio was stunned for a moment when she saw the purple-haired, golden-eyed girl in front of her.
"Null?"
Although I don't know how many years have passed in other worlds, the person in front of me looks one or two years older than me.
The system that had been silent in his mind seemed to cough awkwardly, and then slowly said.
"Um... host."
"Actually, I forgot to tell you this..."
"Because of the unique nature of the Marvel universe, time within it is actually synchronized with time in other worlds."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio understood everything.
I spent about a year and a half in the Marvel universe, which was actually in sync with the Chivalry of a Failed Knight World and Gakusen Toshi.
Sora, Claudia, and the others also spent nearly two years there...
Thinking of this, Luo Mio couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Seeing the gloomy, indifferent expression on his face, Luo Mio knew she must have angered him...
Furthermore, in Luo Mio's memory, such a powerful force to stop space could only be found in the void, apart from the 'Origin' which rarely intervenes.
Touching her nose, Luo Mio looked at Kong with a hint of apology and embarrassment, then cautiously said...
"Um... Ms. Luo Xiao Kong?"
"Um?"
Faced with Luo Mio's cautious question, Kong simply gave a faint "hmm".
Luo Mio was also silently complaining in her heart.
Is this girl going through puberty...?
Before leaving, Sora was 13 years old; now, a year and a half later, she's probably almost 15...
What is this? Is puberty starting?
The system also spoke without any mercy.
'Who told you to stand me up for two whole years?'
'...'
