The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"I've modified the Super Burst effect; otherwise, the game's effects getting stronger as the battle progresses would be too overpowered."

【Ta41 World Peace Begins Tomorrow (Part 1)】

Human world, Oborozuka Town.

In a quiet residential area, at 1 a.m., in a detached apartment building.

The space ten meters above suddenly warped, and an object emerged from the warped space, then crashed down under the pull of gravity, making a 'thud' sound.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked out of the apartment building and immediately noticed the strange object—

A ridiculously ugly little refrigerator… no, this size should only be called a freezer. The freezer's metal exterior looked as if it had been corroded by a highly corrosive gas; through the holes, you could even see the mechanical components inside, constantly emitting sparks and electrical discharges.

Having endured the dragon's breath and having been transported from the chaotic land, it carried a heavy, dark aura of chaos, making the middle-aged man suspicious and hesitant to approach and investigate.

With a 'thud,' the broken refrigerator door slid off in half, and a little girl who looked like she'd been burned rolled out. She lay motionless on the ground like an octopus. Upon closer inspection, she was covered in a mess of dust and scratches, with bright red bloodstains on her grayish-white clothes, making her look quite pitiful.

A few stray hairs stood up from her forehead, and her beautiful long silver hair was messy with dirt and grime. The girl looked as if she had fallen asleep, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids. Her sleeping posture was cute and peaceful. If the bloodstains and filth on her face were cleaned, she would be even more captivating.

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He paused for a moment, then froze.

He rubbed his eyes, tried to open them wide, and then stared blankly for a moment.

After a moment of stunned silence, he forced himself to remain calm and picked up his phone to post something online.

#I found a little girl when I went out late at night, what should I do? Need help urgently!#

……

Coincidentally, Tina's random landing spot in Oborozuka Town was right in front of Zhai Nan's apartment building. Just moments ago, Zhai Nan, who was waiting for Tina's message on the third floor while idly browsing the internet to kill time, also caught a glimpse of something flashing past his window.

He vaguely saw an appliance that looked like a refrigerator.

This is... littering from a high-rise building?! And it's a refrigerator, for crying out loud?! What if it hits someone, or even the plants?! Where's your sense of public morality?!

Wait a minute, a refrigerator...?!

Now, someone becomes extremely sensitive whenever anything related to refrigerators is mentioned. A thought flashed through Zhai Nan's mind, and he muttered to himself, "Probably not..."

At night, the sky was pitch black. Although there were lights outside, their wattage was extremely low, making it very dim. It was impossible to see anything looking down from the window.

Zhai Nan thought for three seconds and then, remembering that the thing looked like a refrigerator, decided to go downstairs to take a look.

As Zhai Nan went downstairs, she brushed past a middle-aged man who looked somewhat disoriented and lost, leaving her completely bewildered.

As soon as he stepped out of the apartment, under the dim light of the eaves lamp, Zhai Nan saw the familiar but ravaged refrigerator, and the unconscious little girl Tina lying on the ground like an octopus.

Huh? How... did I end up here like this?

Was the mission completed...? No, whether the mission was completed or not was immediately forgotten. Zhai Nan's first thought and concern was Tina's injuries, and his desire to carry her home to recover.

Although Tina never showed any affection for him, Zhai Nan still unilaterally regarded this temporary base as his and Tina's 'little home'.

If the Emperor of the End is successfully assassinated, the main quest will fail, and my life will likely come to an end.

Even so, Zhai Nan didn't feel too sad when he thought about it... Well, let's not talk about that. Zhai Nan looked at Tina and said, "I'll carry you home."

He carefully lifted her slender arm and placed it on his shoulder, then Zhai Nan began to try to stand up—

Pfft! !

I was actually pinned down by a little girl!

Tina does look petite and cute, but beneath her skin are almost entirely high-tech, high-density artificial organs and bones, so her body weight is far from as light as it appears.

After carrying Tina back to the third floor, Zhai Nan, who could do a hundred push-ups in one go, was exhausted and looked like a dead dog. After all, carrying nearly 200 pounds was no joke.

But this exhausted dog... seems quite happy.

The following day, the sky was filled with the glow of dawn, and rays of light refracted through the morning dew, creating a rainbow of colors that blessed the world it was encountering for the first time.

The End Emperor easily sensed Thor's thoughts through her 'soul consciousness'—her desire to spend her life with this human named Kobayashi.

Perhaps it was too much to ask Thor to make the decision to separate, and the Emperor of the End also felt that there were some things he really needed to help Thor resolve himself.

...Thor is the daughter of the Emperor of the End, bearing the heaviest mission of the Chaos lineage. How could she be seduced by human desires and emotions?

Humans' lifespan of less than a hundred years is but a fleeting moment compared to the incredibly long lifespan of the Chaos Dragons. Although a hundred or two hundred years less is insignificant in terms of the destiny of the Balanced Order... even if it concerns the majesty and dignity of the dragons, the Emperor of the End must prevent Thor from becoming a human's maid.

In front of Kobayashi's house, the void was distorted, and a nebula-like black hole spun eerily. Then, a chaotic, eerie red rapidly spread and covered the pure blue sky for miles around, instantly turning the world, devoid of sunlight, gloomy and dark.

A jet-black whirlwind burst forth from the black hole. Upon reaching the human world, the whirlwind disintegrated into wisps of dark mist, which quickly coalesced... The black-robed Emperor of the End reappeared.

"Kobayashi-san, I'm going to the shopping street now. Remember to eat a good breakfast and don't be late."

A sound came from inside, and Thor, in a good mood, pushed open the door and went out. However, when she saw the Emperor of the End standing in the void, she froze on the spot.

"Hey, Thor, let's go grocery shopping together today." Another voice came from inside. Kobayashi followed and walked out of the entrance hall, smiling. "...I've already taken the day off from work because I want to spend more time with Thor."

However, Kobayashi noticed that Thor's gaze and attention were not on her at all. Following her gaze, Kobayashi's heart skipped a beat, and a very bad feeling welled up inside her.

It was at this moment that Kobayashi realized that although it was early morning, the entire sky had become dark and chaotic because of the arrival of the old man in black robes. This kind of thing, which only happens in fantasy stories... how could it happen in the human world...?

"Now you know why I have come, Thor."

“Dad…” Thor lowered his eyes slightly.

Only then did Kobayashi have to accept the reality before her eyes. Sure enough, Tohru's father had come to take her back in the end.

"Since you can't sever your relationship with this human yourself, then I'll lend you a hand."

The Emperor of the End extended an aged hand from beneath his black robe, pressing his index finger into the void. A beam of power shot straight toward Kobayashi from the ripples in space emanating from his finger.

Because it happened so suddenly, and because Thor was in a daze, the pale golden beam struck Kobayashi's right eyeglass temple. With a 'clang,' the temple and the eyeglasses separated in two and fell to the ground. Due to the impact and shock, Kobayashi was thrown backward and fell to the ground.

Thor, belatedly realizing what was happening, feared the End Emperor would attack again, so he threw himself on Kobayashi and hugged her tightly. Then he turned around and angrily shouted, "Why did you hurt Kobayashi?!"

"Hmph!" The Emperor of the End's hand disappeared back into his black robes, then he stared indifferently at Kobayashi, who was trembling in Thor's arms and seemed to have lost her soul: "Human, leave my daughter, or I will kill you."

"If you dare to hurt Xiaolin again... I will never go back with you in this lifetime!!"

"Foolish daughter!" The Emperor of the End's pupils contracted. "...Do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill a mere human?"

Because of the world's order, the dragons cannot kill any humans in this world, but as long as the Emperor of the End doesn't say it, Kobayashi will never know.

At this moment, what surrounds Kobayashi is the fear of absolute power and the fear of true death.

As her glasses fell off, Kobayashi's vision became increasingly blurry, but the warmth of Tohru embracing her at that moment clearly conveyed courage to her.

Recalling the loneliness and solitude that surrounded her for those two short days without Tohru, a loneliness worse than death, recalling every little thing she experienced with Tohru, recalling those ordinary yet profound memories, at this moment, Kobayashi even realized that 'death' wasn't such a big deal to her...

Sensing Kobayashi struggling to get up, Thor was surprised and then helped her stand up again.

"Hmm...?" The Emperor of the End turned his gaze back, glaring at Kobayashi below, trying to use the power of a dragon to oppress her.

As her fear gradually subsided, Kobayashi took a deep breath, then abruptly raised her head to meet the gaze of the End Emperor, her eyes resolute and unwavering, a fierce determination that even pain and death could not sway her in the slightest: "Thor said he doesn't want to go back—!!"

"Human..." The Emperor of the End narrowed his eyes slightly, "Your words could very well cause you to vanish from the face of the earth."

"That won't change my mind!!!"

Kobayashi subconsciously tightened her grip on Thor's small hand. Looking at Kobayashi's profile and feeling the intense heat emanating from her hand, Thor was deeply shocked and stood there dumbfounded.

"The rules of the world must be followed..." the Emperor of the End explained in a calm voice.

"If others find out that the dragons, who are supposed to protect order, are in this world, they will be influenced and attract more people. It's fine now, but sooner or later, there will be those who want to invade. What will you do then?!"

“Then I don’t think it’s Thor’s fault either!” Kobayashi met the End Emperor’s gaze fearlessly and retorted, “…It’s just that they’ve turned an opportunity into a responsibility!”

"This is not impossible."

It wasn't that the Emperor of the End wanted to reason with him or appeal to his emotions; given his style, he would have killed him long ago if he could. It was simply because of the order of this world, which even someone as powerful as the Emperor of the End had to follow.

"What does this have to do with me!" But what Kobayashi fears least is empty talk.

"Why are you so obsessed with Thor..." the Emperor of the End asked. "Do you like Thor? For a human like you, that's unbelievable."

"Really? Thor is a good boy!"

"Of course I know that."

Tohru, who was holding Kobayashi's hand, heard the two sides' unanimous praise of her as a good child, and said "Eh eh" twice. Then she lowered her head, her cheeks blushing, and her small body trembled slightly.

"Cheerful and lively, though she sometimes falls into depression..." Kobayashi gazed at the Emperor of the End, taking a step forward as she did so. "But she forces a smile to cover it up, and... she's a maid, you know?!"

Taking another step, Kobayashi gripped Thor's wrist tightly as he silently wept, then roared at the Emperor of the End, "Don't take my maid away! She's mine!!"

The Emperor of the End was enraged; veins bulged around his eyes, and as his aged hand emerged instantly from beneath his black robe, a swirling black hole, overflowing with terrifying chaotic energy, was poised to unleash its power: "You're pushing your luck!!"

Thor then hugged Kobayashi tightly, and with her small hands, which had already transformed into dragon claws, she stretched out a magical barrier in front of Kobayashi.

Thor didn't speak, his lowered eyes glancing at the Emperor of the End out of the corner of his eye. His voice kept choking up, but his expression was extremely resolute.

"Is that so?" The Emperor of the End understood Thor's meaning and instantly withdrew his power. Above his head, a 'teleportation black hole' connecting to another dimension twisted and formed in the void.

"...Then let's go, there's not enough room to maneuver here." The figure of the End Emperor flew straight into the sky and disappeared into the black hole that spun like a nebula.

Thor turned around and forced a smile at Kobayashi. In that instant, she broke free from Kobayashi's tight grip, then leaped over the wall, her demon wings unfurling from her back, and her tail popping out from under her maid's skirt.

Thor's demonic wings flapped, and he followed the Emperor of the End into the black hole.

Kobayashi was momentarily lost in thought, staring at the rapidly disappearing black hole, and softly murmured, "Thor..."

……

Another dimension.

The world was dark and devoid of any vibrant color. The sky was filled with endless, overlapping black clouds, and the ground was a desolate and barren wilderness where even wild grass could not survive.

The Emperor of the End and Thor stood facing each other from a distance.

"This is the first time you've defied me," the Emperor of the End said, his face displeased.

With unprecedented seriousness, Thor looked directly at her biological father: "My destiny is in my own hands."

"Humph…"
