Successors of all mankind

Instead, she dared not go in.

Because she was afraid that the tiny glimmer of light that had just been lit would immediately go out.

But in the end, she still pushed open the door.

She needs strength!

And this is where she can find strength!

The first thing you see is a square bathtub, where every Windsor visitor bathes to cleanse their body and mind.

To avoid their own defilement from displeasing the machine soul.

She, too, unbuttoned her dress, revealing a body that, while not quite as divine as her, was still perfect.

Then slowly soak in the cold bath and gently wash your body.

When everything was over, she changed into a solemn nun's habit and knelt before the only divine oracle in the room.

This is the Windsor family's greatest source of power and their only treasure—the magical Salamander!

A combat mech entirely created by humans.

Her ancestors rode the Salamander alongside the King of Glory, hunting dragons and waging war.

This is one of the most powerful mechs in the world!

The source of the Windsor family's power!

However, since the first Duke of Windsor, only a handful of people have been able to win the favor of the Divine Machine and thus gain the qualification to ride it.

Although not one of the main reasons, it was precisely because of this that the Windsor family gradually declined.

After all, as long as Windsor can still wield this divine machine, the Windsor family can never decline.

Now, in order to gain even greater power, she will try to awaken this ancient divine machine that has been dormant for so long!

“Great Salamander, one of humanity’s proudest creations! I, Serena Windsor, am the descendant of your former master.”

"I pray for your awakening, I pray for your mercy!"

...

With each sharp thud, the horse's head drooped lower and lower.

As before, Shenji did not respond at all.

She seemed to have failed again, even though she had received a small miracle from Yu Le...

Is it still not working?

Does the Windsor family really not deserve your favor anymore?

The divine mechanism showed no reaction whatsoever to the steep, sharp, and bound Y-shaped objects.

Her voice began to tremble, her throat tightened, and countless failures over the millennia pressed down on her in the same way at this moment.

She knelt deeply on the ground.

“I have people I must protect,” she said. “I beg you to answer me, even if it costs me my life, my soul—”

With a click, just when Miss Windsor was in utter despair, boundless joy arrived!

The divine mechanism, which had been dormant for over a thousand years, has awakened!

'Agreement One: Protect humanity and uphold human ethics.'

Chapter 20: A Fight to the Death

Salamander, one of the world's most powerful single-soldier combat machines.

At the same time, it is also one of the treasures of the Kingdom of Albion. Ever since the Windsor family could no longer drive the Salamander, the remaining four pillars have repeatedly tried to protect, research, or entrust it to others under various pretexts.

Try to get Salamander.

However, because of the existence of the Glory King, they have never been able to achieve their wish.

It seems that Delis Marty's sudden marriage proposal was also for Salamander's sake.

This is one of the main reasons for the Windsor family’s declining reputation, which may be due to the intentional actions of the other four pillars, or it may be that they did nothing at all.

Despite lacking my strength, she possesses a treasure that I can only dream of.

It's just too annoying.

But now, Salamander has responded to Windsor's final words.

The unmanned machine descended from the altar, its metal blades opening and closing with a crisp, clear sound, and flame-colored light flashed across its surface.

Even though you're just getting close, a terrifying, suffocating sense of oppression washes over you.

Even if it has been silent for a thousand years, even if no one drives it.

Salamander also possesses the formidable combat power to single-handedly destroy an entire city.

This is one of the proofs of human military power.

Ancient relics that do not belong to this era.

Looking at the incessant stream of electricity flowing towards it, constantly washing over the core processor.

'Verification number 10086: Mutation confirmed, source confirmed as—humanity!'

'Verification terminated. This machine has modified and confirmed the following record: Humanity extinct (deleted). Current record: Humanity survived!'

'The first priority is to confirm the changes—to defend humanity to the death!'

So, in order to maximize its effectiveness, Salamander reached out her hand to Windsor.

May the glory of mankind endure forever!

Windsor was trembling with excitement, but as she looked at the hand that Shenji was offering, she forcibly suppressed everything.

He then humbly lowered his head and placed his hand on it.

May the glory of mankind endure forever!

The flame-colored information stream flashed by.

"With cooperation confirmed, this machine will grant you full access, including the use of all lethal weapons."

The massive fuselage quickly overlapped and shrank, eventually transforming into a piece of arm armor in Miss Windsor's hand.

It has no fancy design, only minimalist matte metal finish.

"This is the Salamander? An ancient relic passed down through generations of the Windsor family, one of Albion's most powerful weapons... I actually did it?"

"Thank you, Lord Jules..."

Miss Windsor, holding Salamander in her arms, wept with joy.

The Windsor family's thousand-year-long despair has finally come to an end.

However, because it was so long ago and there are very few corresponding records, Miss Windsor did not know either.

She has been granted full authorization to Salamander, allowing her to use all of Salamander's deadly power at any time.

Even when the King of Glory bestowed it upon her ancestor, the ancestor could not do this.

On very rare occasions, her ancestors were permitted to use the full force of the Salamander.

All of this is for one thing—to protect humanity and uphold human principles, until death do us part!

-----------------

The banquet had long since ended, and Yu Le accompanied the princess toward her bedroom.

On the way, the princess dismissed the rest of her accompanying knights, ladies-in-waiting, and attendants.

Only Yu Le remained to keep her company.

"Sir, you know, I've read it more than once in books, and heard it from people. I've seen it, and I've heard it said that a garden at night is the best place to relax and find peace of mind."

"I've thought about it, and I've probably encountered this kind of description at least a hundred times."

“Every time I see or hear something, it’s a different person saying the same thing in different words that I’ve never experienced before.”

“I thought it was my problem, because everyone else could feel it, but I couldn’t. Then I realized that they didn’t actually feel it either. They just felt that they should say it that way.”

"This makes me feel hypocritical and even more nauseous."

The princess stopped speaking. Instead of wearing the floor-length gown she wore to the banquet, she changed into a dark gray casual dress, with the cuffs loosely rolled up, revealing half of her forearm.

The golden cracks were faintly visible in the moonlight.

Yu Le didn't even know when she changed her clothes...

Yu Le didn't respond; he didn't know how to answer.

He's just an ordinary otaku, how could he know what a princess wants to hear?

But he doesn't need to speak or answer; he just needs to be there.

The princess, who had stopped, turned around at the end of the path and looked at Yu Le. Under the moonlight, the golden cracks on her body became even brighter, as if something was flowing inside them.

"But now, I think I might really be wrong, because I seem to be able to feel the calm they described."

"Sir, do you think it's your achievement?"

After a moment of silence, Yu Le lowered his head and said:

"It would be an honor, Your Highness, but it shouldn't be."

This made the princess smile dreamily.

"Heh, Sir, others will immediately acknowledge it and use the opportunity to climb up. And it will all be thanks to you, Sir!"

"You've changed the world in my eyes, even though we've only known each other for such a short time. But I'm sure of it!"

Although the time was short, the princess did find that the world she saw had changed.

It's not so boring, smelly, or scary!

It's like someone who has been trapped in darkness for years suddenly receiving a ray of light that allows her to see everything!

"Don't be so reserved, chat with me. I've never had a casual chat with anyone before."

The princess turned around again, but did not leave. Instead, she stood still and waited for Yule, who was lagging behind, to catch up.

She also began to enjoy the quiet garden under the moonlight.

This really calms me down.

Although she felt that the main thing was entertainment.

Yu Le pondered and followed, recalling what he had seen before.

He asked the princess:

“I’ve heard that the Sisters of the Pure White and Albion are staunch allies, but why didn’t I see a single nun when I arrived? Your Highness, do you know why?”

Pandora remained silent, perhaps afraid of being discovered by the princess.

But Yu Le still remembers what Pandora showed him.

And just then, one of the country's supreme rulers was right in front of them.

She should know the answers that strangers don't.

I just don't know if the other person is willing to tell me.

"Sir, although I haven't had much conversation with anyone, I still think that when walking with a lady, we should talk about more interesting things, rather than these questions that seem to have some ulterior motive!"

Yu Le's eyebrows twitched, and he continued:

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, I was just curious. After all, I haven’t talked to the lady much.”

This made the princess very happy, so she, who had never intended to refuse to answer, said even more excitedly:

“But I can answer you, Sir.”

Chapter 21 is truly outrageous.

The princess was well aware of Yu Le's differences, and even more so that he was definitely hiding something very special, and that he had come with a special purpose.
