Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 4054 Optimal Choice
In the normal history of Terra, Hilder, Morley, and many other zealous scientists collected a large number of experimental samples in search of the best candidate to evolve into Beyana.

Azera had reviewed the relevant experimental data; the institute had set up multiple experimental groups based on gender and age.

The final experimental results showed that girls aged fourteen to sixteen were the best choice to bear the power of highly concentrated elements, not only because of the highest success rate, but also because they could best exert the power of elements to their limit.

They possess remarkable resilience and the talent to use the power of "Beyana" after transformation. What's even more encouraging is that they seem to gradually grow stronger after acquiring this power, meaning they can become stronger on their own without needing to inject additional elemental power.

Other groups also had successful experiments, but the failure rate was much higher with the same number of participants.

According to records, adults who were infused with a large amount of elemental power evolved into elemental Beanas. The one who lasted the shortest time lost control after only one minute, while the one who lasted the longest did not last more than a year.

The Tower of Despair, also known as the Genesis spaceship, contains a record of the elemental Beana going out of control and destroying itself, resulting in a sky full of light.

Therefore, the results showed a significant difference after comparison.

However, the adults on Terra did not lose faith or feel disappointed. On the contrary, they were full of expectations. The experiment itself was a pioneering attempt that had already yielded remarkable results. They believed that as time went by, the technology could be continuously improved, and eventually there would be a more comprehensive opportunity for evolution, allowing adults to ascend as well.

Azera believes that if society did not prohibit crossing the line of rationality and morality, the age of the experimental subjects would be lowered even further.

Later, under the best circumstances, twelve of the most talented girls were carefully selected by the Beyana Research Institute to become pioneers of the formal evolution project, with Rem ranked first and Vishit twelfth.

During the time that Beyana and the others disappeared from Vishi's sight, they found ten other girls and ten ancestors, leaving behind the medium for using the power of the magic runes, which was her emblem.

If things had gone according to the original, normal course of history, Hilder would not have died unexpectedly, the artificial god project would have succeeded smoothly, and Terra would naturally have turned its fiery gaze to human evolution... In terms of time, in less than a year, Vishi and Rem, along with twelve other girls, would have been selected and sent to the research institute for relevant knowledge training and intensive training.

"I feel like I've accomplished something amazing, and I have an unprecedented sense of accomplishment." Beyana said smugly, eager to show off in front of Sister Niwu, "Look how awesome I am."

“Yes, it was indeed a big thing.” Azera appeared beside her, smiling as she patted Beyana’s head.

The latter instantly shrank her neck, like a cat whose neck was being pinched, seemingly afraid that Azera might casually lift her skull.

"Azera!"

“Azera…”

Vishi and Rem spoke one after the other, one with great emotion and the other with a complicated look in her eyes, as if recalling past memories.

Azera made a shushing gesture and said what they had already heard before:
"I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, and I really want to talk to you about them, but I don't have time right now."

"Go forth, heroes of Terra."

Rem and Vishi exchanged a glance and nodded, then each cleared out the corresponding enemies according to the areas designated by the dumpling.

Their awakened memories contain knowledge of combat, so they are no rusty on the battlefield and wield their spears with ease.

Moreover, the power they use is aura, not the pure, highly compressed elements of Ancient Terra. The elemental power transformed into aura is undoubtedly more suitable for the ancestors' physiques.

Azera herself transformed into a dazzling ray of light, rushing towards a distant, mountain-sized structure with black and white mist drifting around its edges and the historical traces of a ruined world visible on its belly.

The historical artifact was at the peak of the Origin level, faintly exuding an aura of transcendence. The image projected from its abdomen was a city burning in flames, with thick bolts of lightning falling from the sky, destroying everything. Everywhere there were the tragic cries of humanity. It itself could also use the corresponding power.

This historical artifact most likely represents the man-made god Napoleon's power to manipulate the weather. It has swirling black clouds above its head, spewing out lightning and flames, creating raging hurricanes, and dropping icy spikes, like an embodiment of natural disasters.

Azera no longer concealed her power as a transcendent being, destroying the trace of the calamity, erasing the projection, and transforming it into pure spacetime power.

On the day that Terra was struck by a global catastrophe, golden maidens appeared one after another around the world. They flew through the air with lightning speed, wearing red and white or gold and white armor, looking heroic and valiant. Their eyes were like the sun, and they wielded their spears to shatter one historical trace after another.

They defeated the monsters; they brought peace and light.

News about Beyana was all over the internet, and the hype was constantly at its peak. When the legend became reality and disaster struck, the golden-glowing girl saved the world. In the minds of the Terrans, an ancient name came to mind... Beyana, the goddess of light and justice.

And their original identities are gradually coming to light.

Compared to the cheers of ordinary people, some scientists showed more curious expressions.

With the tireless efforts of the twelve girls, along with demons and gods, the number of historical traces was rapidly reduced.

At the same time, they keenly observed that the more populated a place is, the more likely it is to show traces of history, making it more precise once a target is identified.

Maruko believes that history is only meaningful where intelligent races exist. Places that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years, such as barren deserts, clearly lack historical significance and few people care about what happened there.

boom!
Azera was thrown back by an enormous historical artifact. After regaining her footing, she stared solemnly at the phantom that seemed to support the heavens and the earth. Its abdomen looked like a real city that had been struck by a meteor falling from the sky. The raging shockwave destroyed the entire city from the inside out, and the earth caved in, showing an explosive destruction.

“That artificial god who possesses astrology is beyond the level of astrology,” Azera whispered. The power of historical phantoms is unrelated to the strength of artificial gods; it should be random. For example, the one that appeared at Vichy Academy clearly radiated a bit of Yanemer's power to manipulate matter, and Yanemer is the most powerful artificial god.

Meanwhile, the twelve girls also began to encounter some extremely troublesome enemies and were caught in a fierce battle. Fortunately, Terra herself finally came to her senses, and the power of technological weapons helped them eliminate the troublesome enemies.

However, it becomes somewhat insufficient when faced with extremely powerful historical traces, especially those transcendent beings.

A trace of history suddenly drained the power from several cities, then radiated outwards in a destructive manner. Flickering, distorted electric light filled the sky, blinding the world and penetrating the limits of the atmosphere, causing many satellites to explode.

"Ouch!" Beyana was sent flying backward, her lively red hair slightly charred, her face contorted in pain, and arcs of electricity crackling across her skin.

After unleashing its full power and defeating its opponent, Azera, who rushed over, looked surprised. The historical trace that manipulated the electricity had the aura of a transcendent being. Although it could not be considered a true transcendent being due to its lack of intelligence and combat skills, its destructive power was absolutely unquestionable. A single blow could destroy a city.

Beyana took a direct hit, but only got a little charred, and cried out in pain a few times... This girl is really tough.

The situation is now very dire. The girls have destroyed small and medium-sized historical traces, but the powerful historical traces involve transcendence, and the girls are beginning to be overwhelmed and are finding it very difficult to fight back. Azera is struggling to cope alone and is unable to be in two places at once.

Seemingly sensing the presence of extremely strong "historical figures" who had wreaked havoc and fought against the girls throughout Terra, they emitted strange sounds, then disappeared from their spots, only to reappear in a surrounding manner, encircling Azera.

“This is a bit troublesome.” Azera looked around and counted them. There were exactly twelve extremely powerful historical traces, all of which involved transcendence and each possessed a power that imitated an artificial god.

If she goes all out, she should be able to hold off four, then Beyana can hold off one, and Maruko and the others can work together to pull two away. If the twelve girls can arrive in time, and with the help of Terra weapons, they might have a chance to take down the other five.

“The most terrifying thing is that they seem to be able to regenerate. They are indestructible until Night Forest extracts the spacetime power of the nine parallel dimensions.” Azera stared at the historical trace that could summon meteorites. She had clearly destroyed it before, but now it had been reborn.

Moreover, she did not want to see a protracted war, and the damage caused by fighting in Terra would still have to be borne by Terra.

"Hold on, this is a good sign." Azera encouraged everyone. By holding back the twelve traces of history, Night Forest will surely be able to extract the power of time and space and solve the problem at its root.

The great battle broke out, and Azera went all out. Twelve girls radiating golden light joined the battlefield, and Natya and the others also rushed from all over the world after defeating their opponents, throwing themselves into the battle to protect Terra.

Among them, Beyana's fighting posture was particularly eye-catching. Her golden radiance was the most dazzling. With the new spear given to her by Sister Niwu, she became more and more courageous in battle. She not only restrained a historical trace, but also gradually gained the upper hand, and was able to take the time to help others.

"Could it be that Beyana's breakthrough point is in the real Terra? That makes sense, the bloodline of Terra can only reach its full potential in the soil of Terra." Azera was surprised. Under such circumstances, it was very likely that Beyana would break through on the spot.

Rem also shone brightly. Relying on the combat skills she remembered and empowered by the correct key to unlock her bloodline seal—the Aura—she fought with increasing ferocity. Every swing of her spear seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth, single-handedly leveling a mark of history.

If she could learn the skills that the Oathkeepers researched, specifically designed to fit the runes and battle mages, her combat power should increase significantly, and her performance would definitely be no less than that of Beyana.

Maruko exclaimed in surprise, "Truly worthy of being ranked first in talent during the ancient Terra era."

She didn't care, because she wasn't a battle mage, so Rem's talent performance was irrelevant to her. She was just a mage who was happy to cause trouble.

Thanks to the outstanding performances of Beyana and Rem, the situation was both balanced and tense, but ultimately the balance of victory was slowly regained.

However, Azera's worst fears came true. She tried her best to destroy the traces of the released electricity, but before long, the opponent was reborn out of thin air, as if it had the quality of immortality and could not be killed.

Then, as time went on, some of the twelve girls began to get injured and lose their ability to fight, and the situation became very critical.

Possessing powerful vitality, they radiate a golden glow and can quickly recover from most injuries. However, some begin to suffer serious injuries, even fatal ones, requiring time to recover and rendering them unable to fight again.

Vichy's resilience began to show. Even when injured, she could grit her teeth and swing her spear. Every time she was blasted away, as long as it wasn't a fatal wound, she would quickly return to the battlefield.

With the birth of an aura that even Azera felt a chill, traces of the world appeared, and the entire Terra was projected onto the abdomen, showing a scene of shattered fragments. At the same time, the power of all the artificial gods appeared, and it was filled with intense despair from the moment it appeared.

It involves God!
Azera sighed, "We've reached our limit. We can only plead with Hiat and Momei in the starry sky, hoping one of them can spare some time..."

Suddenly, all traces of history, whether they were transcendent beings or that majestic being that filled the entire world and reached the heavens, distorted and changed violently, then turned into countless tiny cubes that collapsed and shattered.

Azera turned around and immediately saw Yanemer, with long hair reaching her waist and wearing a black bodysuit. Her pupils revealed a cold light. She raised her right hand and, as if wantonly toying with it, tore, crushed, and destroyed all the traces on the spot.

"These traces of history belong to the spacetime power of the nine parallel dimensions. They can be continuously reborn by merging with the main dimension," Azera reminded. Existences involving spacetime concepts are difficult to kill; one needs the corresponding domain's abilities to do so.

As expected, the thirteen traces of history were regenerated and were not killed.

铮！
A metallic, blood-stained melody, filled with a murderous aura, suddenly appeared. The thirteen newly reborn marks exploded again before they could truly take shape. Philbe, dressed in a long gown, had a gentle and beautiful face, as pure and holy as a goddess, yet concealing a deadly edge.

"It's alright, we'll keep killing them until their spacetime power is extracted." Yanemer was in a good mood; her hair had grown longer and was dyed a light gold color.

Philbe nodded slightly, and after the strings were plucked, the remaining survivors in Terra exploded and were instantly destroyed.

“You… have regained that power.” Azera looked at them, unable to express her true feelings. The two artificial gods had regained their combat power, comparable to what they had in the past.
