Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Boom boom boom!

Powerful streams of ethereal light exploded one after another on the surface of the cross shield, like cruise missiles exploding at close range, constantly creating blinding halos and chilling air currents.

The shattered data modules of the surrounding maze were successively torn apart and leveled, turning an area of ​​hundreds of meters into a white wasteland in the blink of an eye.

Faced with the power comparable to a concentrated attack from an entire mechanized force, even with Mash's exceptional physique as a special class Shielder, she was unable to withstand the onslaught and was pinned down by the intense bombardment.

The powerful reaction force that she couldn't completely dissipate pushed her body backward, causing her shoulders and arms to tremble more violently.

Samael, sheltered behind the cross shield, made no move, but simply gazed quietly at the petite yet not weak life.

Just as swords need to be tempered to forge an unyielding and invincible blade, shields also need to be forged in the fire to create a shield surface that is tempered a thousand times and is incomparably strong.

His appearance has almost erased many of Mashu's future adventures. If he continues to treat her like a puppy following him around, she will eventually lose all chance to break free of her chains.

Therefore, this journey was both a difficult ordeal and a rare trial for her.

Even if a fledgling bird trapped in a cage has its shackles broken, it still has to learn to flap its wings and fly on its own before it can see the outside world.

We must protect our predecessors!

The giant arc of light crashed into a hard reef, splitting it in two by the stone shield. The pink-haired junior schoolgirl, whose body was almost compressed into a spring of its limit, bit her cherry lips and desperately held on with a stubborn tenacity.

At the moment of nearing the limit, the power hidden within her body surged forth continuously. Mash's body gradually merged with the purple light and shadow. Her slender hands bulged with veins as she pushed the shield forward with all her might, uttering a declaration that was almost a roar.

"This body... stands on the seat of calamity, blood as hard as steel, heart as clear as burning glass! Ha!"

"Buzz!"

The enormous cross-shaped band of light was pushed out like a towering city wall, and the streams of ethereal light that intertwined and collided with the front of the shield were actually flung away by Mash.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, hundreds of pale blue arcs of light reflected outwards, and hundreds of seeds suspended in mid-air were instantly annihilated in the surging stream of ethereal light, exploding one after another and turning into specks of light dust that drifted away.

Legend has it that the knight Galahad, due to his noble character and the prestige of retrieving the Holy Grail, was qualified to succeed Artoria as the next ruler of the Round Table.

(Of course, this is also why Galahad is disliked by Mo Zai, since there can only be one leader.)

Therefore, Galahad can use the round table around which the Knights of the Round Table sit in the center of the chalk city of Camelot as the ultimate defense of the shield.

Its strength corresponds to the user's mental strength; as long as the heart does not yield, the city wall will never collapse.

Clearly, the will to protect triumphed over the power to destroy.

"You did it? Senior, I did it~!"

Seeing that she had almost swept away all the strange seeds in front of her, Mashu was stunned at first, then excitedly turned around and grabbed Samael's hand, her face flushed with excitement, and the gloom between her brows disappeared without her noticing.

The shadow of repeated defeats in battle has made Mash deeply doubt her own abilities, and she gradually believes that she is the one who is holding back, which is why her Master was captured.

She was too weak to stand in front of her Master and shield him from all danger.

Just like back then, he stood in front of him without hesitation in the corridor to block Lilith.

But this time, I finally did it.

Samael nodded, smiling as he patted Mashu's head, his gaze containing both approval and sternness.

"Well done, but don't be careless, there are still many of these around."

Mash, being a puppy-like creature, was very obedient. Before her Master could say anything more, she immediately suppressed her excitement, gripped her shield tightly, and looked warily at the smoke and dust that filled the air.

In a hazy mist, a deep blue halo gradually spread out, and thousands of droplet-shaped seeds, sensing the violent roar, converged from all directions like a swarm of bees with a hive-like consciousness, passing through the broken labyrinthine passages.

Seeing so many labyrinth monsters surging towards them, Mash, who was already panting, couldn't help but change her expression slightly, but her body still instinctively picked up her cross shield and rushed towards the group of alien life forms.

But before Mashu could take a few steps, another junior student rushed out first, crashing into the cluster of seeds.

Looking at the swarming alien life forms around her, BB, who was leading the way, smiled contemptuously. She moved her feet with light, dance-like steps, and the black whip in her hand was like a conductor's baton swaying to the music, drawing graceful trajectories in the air, which then outlined wedge-shaped divine patterns and ancient Greek alphabet cryptic script.

"Heh, you small fry, let's play a punishment game!"

The seemingly innocent and lovely girl's face revealed a devilish mockery, and the falling black pointer played a powerful aria.

"Symphony No. 5 in C minor – Fate..."

Samael's lips moved silently, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the ingenious performance.

With each note drawn by the pointer that acts as a conductor's baton, runes containing the natural forces of life and death, storms, thunder, and giant waves shoot out from in front of BB and fall into the dense formation of alien life forms.

Like a lone hero venturing into enemy territory, facing a fateful final battle, he firmly grasps destiny by the throat.

Boom boom boom!

The runes roared one after another like dazzling fireworks and cannon salutes at the end of a curtain call. Each explosion turned hundreds of suspended droplet-shaped seeds into dust, blasting open large, visible cavities in the formation of these alien life forms.

It's like a mischievous child torturing a piece of cardboard with a pair of small scissors.

"How was my performance, senior? Wasn't it amazing?"

"good……"

Samael snapped out of his daze, glanced at BB, and gave a nonchalant evaluation.

BB, who had been eagerly praising him, immediately fell silent upon hearing the extremely perfunctory evaluation, but still stubbornly continued to press for answers.

"Isn't the baby adorable today too?"

Samael hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded sincerely, and then...

She raised her hand and covered Mashu's eyes.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the mechanical debris scattered around BB and the hundreds of intact seeds nearby all emitted dazzling light and exploded with a roar.

Amidst the violent shaking of the ground and the fierce hurricane blowing all around, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air.

"Cough cough..."

A moment later, the smoke and dust dissipated, and BB, wearing a tattered student council uniform, stood in the deep pit that stretched for dozens of miles, coughing violently.

The girl's elegance was gone, and her face was now completely black.

It's just unclear whether it was from anger or from being blackened by smoke.

Samael stared at BB, who was blasted into such a terrible state in the deep pit, and grinned with an elegant yet polite smile, muttering to himself.

If you want to fight, then fight; if you want to cause trouble, then cause trouble. Don't always confuse the two.

If you're inside an encirclement and still thinking about posing, turning your back to your enemy without any defense, aren't you just asking for trouble?

An unexpected self-destruction caused BB to stumble and lose face.

Noticing the subtle gazes around her focused on her, the little devil junior felt even more ashamed.

"The game is over. How dare you offend our adorable baby like that? You bunch of pigs, you better wake up!"

To escape the awkward atmosphere, BB decisively turned his attention to the remaining alien life forms around him. His once smiling purple eyes now radiated a chilling killing intent. Hundreds of runes of various kinds, under the command of the whip, roared and smashed into these maze monsters, creating a series of flashes and roars.

There are no techniques, only emotions...

Seeing the little devil junior sister, who usually presented herself with a smile and cunning, suddenly unleash her Red Rage and Musou attacks, slaughtering everyone in front of her.

The Sakura Five seemed to have their competitive spirit ignited as well, and they all joined the battle.

Even the usually cunning and self-protective Candy Vine threw out pink cherry worms, each carrying a large syringe filled with electronic viruses, and charged towards the henchmen blocking its way.

With the strong intervention of the six [Guardians], the situation instantly became clear.

Whether it was the Type I, II, or III Devourers and Shapeshifters, or the new teardrop-shaped alien life forms, these wandering labyrinth monsters were all wiped out by the electronic heroes with explosive combat power.

In just a few breaths, they had broken through the labyrinth's numerous barriers, successfully entered the [Core Womb], and arrived at their final destination—the [Cage of Blazing Heaven].

In the blink of an eye, it was as if everyone had passed through a thin film of water, crossed the chaotic maze, and entered a vast, tranquil, and boundless mysterious space.

Beneath my feet lay a rough, scarred landscape, and all around me stretched an endless expanse of darkness.

However, even the deepest darkness could not conceal the square crystal floating above everyone's heads.

This is the central hub of Mooncell, the core processing unit of a photonic crystal with a diameter of 30 kilometers.

The entire space is integrated with the central hub, as if a Rubik's Cube is being twisted by an invisible divine hand. The maze on the surface is constantly flipped and reconstructed, giving rise to endless changes.

Without needing any prompting, the group exchanged glances and then took to the air, leaping directly into the central hub.

In an instant, they were bathed in an ocean of light. Everywhere they looked, there were bubbles constantly coming together and splitting apart. These countless bubbles came together and gave rise to a luminous sphere like a nebula vortex.

The dazzling and magnificent scene before them gave everyone the illusion of gazing at the stars or worshipping at a temple, and a sense of awe arose spontaneously in their hearts.

However, that magnificent and awe-inspiring sphere of light was merely a plaything in the palm of a pair of slender fingers.

"Hehe, welcome to my world. Enlightenment and liberation come with the flick of a finger. The place I've arrived at is Sesshouin, a heavenly paradise like a jaw—"

A woman with two horns on her head, wearing a monk's robe that exuded a deep sense of sensuality, blinked her bright amber eyes and spoke in a tone as if to a nursing infant.

Boundless love, like a surging ocean, envelops all people, easily eroding their hostility and resistance, making them willingly sink into this endless love.

Humans are all naive beasts.

A bubble fruit that devours desire, indulges in desire, and melts in desire.

If that's the case, then who could refuse this immense love, this boundless love?

But none of the people who came were weak-willed humans. Each of them possessed a strong sense of self and resistance to spiritual erosion. Their gazes toward the sky only stirred a few ripples before returning to calm.

"Ah, how adorable—"

This bewitching, seductive whisper is like an addiction.

The woman holds a radiant sphere composed of billions of stars, as if cradling a nursing infant.

All things and phenomena are within the palm of your hand, yet they are merely a handful.

The visiting guests were treated like ants underfoot.

And that woman was over ten thousand feet tall!

She filled the world with her love and her presence.

"The Chaldea members are in her hands! We cannot let her succeed! Attack her together!"

With a solemn expression, BB shouted and rushed forward without saying a word, ready to face the final battle to wipe out the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, just as BB had run a few steps, his body suddenly froze, and he mechanically turned his head to look at his teammates who were standing motionless behind him.

BB, who had been issuing a passionate mobilization order, looked bewildered as he stared at Samael, who was quietly watching him from the center.

"Senior, what's wrong with you...?"

"Why didn't I follow your script and fight Sesshouin Kiara with you?"

Samael's gaze swept over the Command Seals that lit up the back of his hand and the Emperor Flower, Dissolving Lilith, Candy Vine, and Passionate Lips standing behind him. He pulled Violet and Mustard Hinako, who had taken a half step forward, back to their original positions with both hands, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Or is it that I'm being controlled by you, blindly following you and taking the blame for you at the slightest provocation?"

"Senior, what...what are you talking about?"

BB stood there blankly, looking completely bewildered.

"He's saying you've already given yourself away, baby..."

A soft, melodious voice echoed out, and the towering, demonic bodhisattva pursed his crimson lips, leisurely looking down at the purple-haired woman at his feet, his delicate eyebrows raised.

"Or should I now call you—an alien god?"

Unbeknownst to them, Samael and Sesshouin Kiara had already positioned themselves in advance, completely blocking the way from both sides and creating a pincer movement against the advanced AI on the field.

Chapter 44 Rushing into everything will only hurt you (4.2k)

"You lied to us again? You despicable woman!"

Reflecting on the astonishing amount of information revealed in their conversation, Lilith, who had been tricked before, reacted most fiercely, staring at BB on the field, her anger rising.

"Not really."

Samael waved his hand, restraining the somewhat agitated Melting Lilith while glancing at the little devil junior opposite him. He spoke softly.

"Strictly speaking, what she said was all true, but only part of the truth. For example, BB told you before that the Fallen Heaven's Cage was the exit, but she wouldn't tell you where that exit led..."

He was all too familiar with this move.

As the original fraudster, he was quite adept at weaving lies.

The perfect lie is telling the truth.
