I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Matilda's long, lustrous hair was ablaze, with crimson light shimmering on every strand, and the fiery red hue filled every corner of her being.

Then, she opened her eyes, and the same crimson light filled her pupils, as if her eyes held the radiance of a red lotus.

"Flame... Flame that burns your eyes!? Heavenly Punishment God's Calamity Fire!?"

This appearance is so similar to that of the legendary God-Slaying God Contractor among the Crimson World Apostles.

The Crimson Lord before him felt the profound pressure emanating from Matilda, and immediately thought of the legendary Flame Haze, the Flame Haze warriors with fiery hair and burning eyes.

The woman before him, with her body enveloped in fiery powder and dazzling beauty, could not help but make any Crimson World Apostle think twice.

"No, that's not right. You're not a contractor of the God of Punishment. You don't have the Kokutus (divine artifact) that represents the will of the God of Punishment. You're not Flamehaz (Flame Haze) at all. What exactly are you?!"

The Crimson Demon King, who was suspended in mid-air, came to his senses with a gloomy face and his body trembled as if he had encountered his natural enemy, which made him feel extremely ashamed.

The fact that the other party was not even a Flame Haze warrior filled him with a humiliating fear, and he thought that the other party was a contractor of the God of Punishment.

But when they came to their senses, they realized that what the other party was using was not the power of existence at all, and the flames were not the flames of the Heavenly Calamity Fire at all, but only similar ones.

"I am not Flame Haze, nor do I need to borrow the power of your fellow countrymen. You only need to know..."

A deep and eerie flame appeared out of thin air in her hand, and the divine pattern of two snakes intertwined and devouring each other reappeared deep in her crimson eyes. With a thought, Matilda condensed the flame into a physical form.

"You will be defeated by me!"

A profound microcosm took shape within his body, and the crimson struggle universe crystallized. Whose voice was whispering in his head?

A knight's greatsword burning with crimson flames appeared in his hand. The blazing blade, like the fire of a star, continuously glowed, its radiance comparable to the sun, which was contained within the sword.

Weapon materialization? No, it's a human-machine fusion!

The fusion of part or even all of one's physical body with a relic can enhance attack capabilities, making it the type that provides the highest boost to physical abilities in the Eternal Destruction relic form.

However, during the process, one may fall into a state of extreme excitement and be unable to make rational judgments.

Most of them are either warmongers or people who enjoy the thrill of a moment.

Matilda's personality perfectly matches the above description of the human-artifact fusion type, except that her relic is not a physical entity.

Rather, it was Reiji who, upon obtaining the Primordial Flame from the Dark Souls, separated a wisp of flame from his own sublimated divine fire and gave it to Matilda as a relic to fuse with.

If the original version of the Primal Flame evolved along with Raiji, it was no longer just a Primal Flame; it was a truly ferocious thing capable of burning the world down like firewood.

The version Matilda received was filtered and weakened by Rezé, and was equivalent to the original First Flame in Dark Souls.

"Om-!"

With her internal universe view entering the formation stage, the universe view has completely developed its own characteristics and will. Matilda's current power is comparable to that of a Saint Seiya who has awakened the sixth sense cosmos.

But it is also like another divinely created universe in the simulated creation chart, because the universe within Matilda is a universe that carries her will and desires.

With a casual swing of his blazing red flame greatsword, he unleashed a fire wave a thousand meters long, within which countless figures instantly appeared.

One by one, the Crimson Knights transformed into blazing war demons, charging straight towards the Crimson World Demon King.

"Pfft-"

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Lotus Legion appeared before the Crimson World Demon King, their greatswords, powerful enough to incinerate the heavens and destroy the earth, piercing straight into his chest.

It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, but that Matilda's army was simply too fast. Previously, Matilda's personal speed limit was around Mach 20, but now, after entering the formation stage and adapting, she has directly broken through to around Mach 140.

Equivalent to a terrifying speed of 47642 meters per second, even without any offensive properties, the sheer impact force alone would be something that no matter on Earth could withstand without being damaged.

"The beings of the Crimson World can eat people. Have you ever thought that one day you too might become prey and be devoured?"

As Matilda watched the Crimson Lord being pierced by the knight's sword, she uttered words that horrified him in his final moments.

What does this mean? Am I the prey? Am I going to be eaten? By a human?!

"boom!!"

As Matilda finished speaking, the next moment, blazing crimson flames erupted from the wound in the Crimson Lord's chest, instantly engulfing him completely!

“Wa ...

Amidst the flames, Matilda could clearly hear the screams of the Crimson Lord.

This is only natural, because this is not an ordinary flame, but the primordial fire from the birth of the world, a flame descended from the supreme divinity of the outer universe.

In this flame, everything becomes firewood.

Like a soul, the Crimson Lord's immense existence was itself decomposed by Matilda's flames and then devoured by this nascent demon, becoming fuel for the advancement and propulsion of the universe.

"Rhine!"

Having easily defeated the Crimson Lord who had devoured her, Matilda's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She received all the experience of the Crimson Lord after it was burned, and transformed her power into a warhorse made of crimson flames.

Calling out the name of the person she longed for, Matilda soared straight into the sky.

Hundreds of miles away, Reiji, who was no longer watching the battle from the sky, saw the dashing Matilda riding a warhorse galloping across the sky, her eyes filled with an almost tangible fighting spirit and desire for conquest rushing toward him.

The heroine's warhorse was magnificent, with crimson mane, body, tack, and even its breath and the sparks flying from its hooves as it galloped through the air.

Matilda, the fiery-haired, blazing woman, is now truly like a Valkyrie—magnificent and dazzling, brave and heroic.

However, when Rezer looked at Matilda, who was holding a sword and exuding fighting spirit and a desire for conquest, his face remained calm and indifferent, but the look in his eyes under the shadow of his hood seemed quite helpless.

This is a challenge, a very obvious signal of challenge. When Rezel trained Matilda, he told her that she could attack him anytime, anywhere without even a greeting.

Because the woman wanted to see his face, but he was already a loser and belonged to Reiji, so he had no right to make any demands unless he proved himself with his own strength.

And now...

"Trying to turn the tables and become the master? Matilda, are you getting too big for your britches?"

Rezer's calm and condescending attitude aroused Matilda's desire to conquer him, and his words were full of the implication that "young man, you are too green and naive," which made the young girl very resentful.

Matilda remained silent, and fiery red flames erupted from her body, the flying fire powder transforming into torrents.

Knights materialized in front of her, behind her, and to her left and right, their presence and power no less than that of the Crimson Lord.

Soon a two-thousand-strong knightly order appeared and attacked Reiji without any mercy.

"Rhine, take off that tattered cloak of yours that's bothering me!"

With the authority of a superior and words that sounded like commands, Matilda wanted to unleash her immense, uncontrollable power.

This woman's desire to conquer Razer was obvious, or rather, she simply wanted to make him her possession after revealing his true nature.

"Heh, if you can do it, so be it, provided you have the power. Let me destroy your proud knightly order, lovely Matilda."

Rezer's words were tinged with malicious pleasure, and his attitude towards Matilda was like that of a rebellious child, with a doting attitude that made Matilda extremely embarrassed and angry.

Reiji's attitude toward the girl's displayed power and her proud legion was like watching a naive toddler displaying a comical set of building blocks.

It's full of humiliating pampering towards a child who never grows up!

Yes, it's that attitude of treating her like a child who never grows up, that condescending attitude that makes you want Matilda to trample her underfoot, and then tease her like an older sister, telling her not to underestimate her!

but......

"【Ninth - SS Armored Division】"

As if a joyful divine command had been issued, something ferocious and terrifying was about to burst forth.

"what is that!?"

Matilda's temples throbbed. A golden light, different from the crimson of the lotus, appeared before the Knights, and a large number of golden skeletons, like the undead from hell, emerged from the golden light.

Then they intertwined and twisted, transforming into strange war chariots with thin steel pipes, numbering over a hundred.

What Matilda didn't know was that in some distant future era, this strange vehicle was called a tank!

Lei Zhe didn't intend to bully the little girl too much, so he didn't bring out the high-tech space tank that Ming Miao had ultimately modified for the ship girls. That thing could wipe out a whole star system with one shot.

He was using only tanks that had appeared on Earth. Now, all the guns of more than a hundred tanks were facing Matilda and they all fired at the same time!

“Boom, boom—!!”

The sound of gunfire was like the wrath of heaven, each explosion as powerful as a nuclear bomb, instantly engulfing Matilda and her army.

In the blink of an eye, the entire land transformed into a terrifying sight, like lava boiling in flames.

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

Matilda, who was being bombarded in the center, let out a low, defiant roar of pain. The burning and impacting sensation was unbearable. If it weren't for her extraordinary physical abilities due to her current status as a Formation Realm cultivator, she would have been turned into cannon fodder in an instant!

In shock and disbelief, she immediately escaped the terrifying barrage of bullets, but the hellish voices from Rhine, who had toyed with her, echoed behind her again.

"【The 36th - SS Grenadier Division!】"

Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang ——————!

A series of eerie sounds, all too familiar to Matilda, rang out—the hum of swords and the roars of skeleton soldiers.

Because of the time of shock, nearly ten thousand bayonets were now thrusting at Matilda.

"Clang clang clang clang—!!!!"

He conjured two crimson greatswords in his hands and instantly unleashed a dense net of swords in front of him, intending to block all the bayonets in front of him.

But Matilda's skin was still lacerated by the sharp bayonets—on her face, torso, arms, thighs...

In just the first round of battle, her knights were wiped out, and she, as the commander, was besieged and in a sorry state.

"My dearest Matilda, remember this blazing golden army. In the future, someone will wield this power and oppose you. For now, be a quiet and ladylike person."

In the brief moment when her vision was cut off, Lei Zhe's figure appeared before her in an instant, and he gently kicked her more than a hundred miles away.

Then came the decisive, playful blow that silenced Matilda.

"【10th - SS Armored Division】"

boom!

This time, it was a barrage of RPG fire that followed Matilda's high-speed backward flight. This rain of shells was extremely domineering and overwhelmed the very defiant Matilda.

A golden mushroom cloud, tens of thousands of meters in diameter, burst open and shot straight into the sky, unleashing the most violent and intense shockwave.

After the scorching storm subsided and the artillery fire ceased, Matilda lay in a deep crater, her body covered in wounds and charred black ash.

She looked like a charred black ashes. The fact that she didn't immediately turn into ashes after being bombarded by such artillery fire shows that Matilda's body is indeed inhuman.

Razor, who appeared in the deep pit, showed no mercy and tucked the charred humanoid figure under his arm.

Then, after casually restoring the area ravaged by the absurd barrage, Rezer, along with the unconscious Matilda, tore through the spatial barrier and left.

After healing Matilda from her unconsciousness, Rezhe left her two training manuals, a letter, and a ruby ​​necklace as a graduation gift and a birthday present, which he then placed around her neck.
