You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

Even the male crew members were slightly dazed.

"Humans... Impossible..."

"But they're not from the Silver Clan either!"

"Could it be made of gold... but..."

Don't panic, everything is alright now.

—These words echoed in everyone's ears.

Iori's language seemed to possess a kind of magic, or perhaps the power of words, which brought an incredible sense of peace to these people's hearts.

I'll talk to you about it later, but before that, we need to get rid of these bugs.

"Quick, look! He looks like he's about to do something!"

A massive magical force gathered on the golden sun ship. Although the ordinary human crew members could not perceive it, they could vaguely sense that something was about to happen. The almost tangible magical force made them look around anxiously.

"Is there... anything around us?"

"Is it water?"

Fortunately... you're not exactly cute.

Iori's gaze swept over the insectoids flying all over the sky, her eyelids lowered, and then golden-red flames ignited on her body.

At the same time, the emblems on his chest, shoulders, and back suddenly lit up and connected with each other, and scorching magic continued to rise, twisting the surrounding atmosphere into a scorching tornado storm.

He did not activate "Zero Form," but instead remained at the final step, compressing his own magic to the critical point of sublimation.

The Third Law's inexhaustible energy supply truly reveals its terrifying nature, given Iori's current spiritual pressure limit!

Obviously, a continuous response from one hundred units is completely different from one from ten thousand units!

Words are power; weaving incantations can change the world.

"Comprehensively understand the wrath of the supreme god!"

Reaching straight to the heavens!

The magic, deeper and more unfathomable than the ocean, was transmitted to a place more distant than the clouds, manifesting from the invisible realm as a celestial body illuminating the world, set off by the golden boat through a layer of void.

sun!

A golden sun appeared in the sky above this savage planet!

The combined power of the three main gods: Ra, the supreme sun god of Egypt; Mithra, the supreme god of Tantra; and Veleslana, the guardian of light!

The divinity of the sun reached its zenith at this moment!

This is not a real star, but a pseudo-celestial body created by manifesting a concept through divine power.

Although it is not as large as others, it is just as good in terms of quality!

If Iori wanted to, she could use this to ignite the entire planet!

Even Iori cannot easily unleash such a massive magical output. In terms of sheer power, it is no less powerful than the full-power Savior Blade, and even surpasses it in range and heat. One must be fully focused to control it.

Otherwise, a single oversight could turn the earth into a living hell!

The swarm of insects immediately became agitated!

But they couldn't understand what was happening at all. Even the "mastermind" only saw it as a high-energy attack. So tens of thousands of insects gathered together and, with the help of the anthill's energy system, deployed a huge silver-white shield that could cover the entire ship.

This is the "Hedron Shield" they obtained from the Silver Clan, a revolutionary technology that allows for the free conversion of energy and matter and the construction of force fields!

However, even with such technology, the ability of a single anthill seems far from enough to bridge the gap.

"My glory covers the earth, and the stars in the heavens are dimmed."

Kneel down, sing praises, and fear!

O divine manifestations of the heavens—

May my judgment be transformed into the sun!

The sun has fallen!

The sky shattered like glass, all gloom vanished in the dazzling golden light, and the radiant sun transformed into endless flames from which leaped a magnificent white horse of immeasurable size.

Its body, towering like a mountain, burned with the sun's fire of rage and judgment. This majestic divine beast let out a deafening roar, charging with overwhelming force towards the bluish-black ant mound enveloped in a silver-white shield—

"boom!!!!!!!!"

The brilliance of that moment is indescribable; the whole world lost its color, and everything was submerged in the purest sunlight.

The flash of light seemed as long as eternity; the raging solar storm destroyed all matter, turning everything in its path to ashes.

That terrifying force forcibly tore cracks in the silver-white shield, causing it to dissipate like bubbles, and then expanded at an unimaginable speed, like a black hole swallowing the universe. Both the Zerg warriors and the rocks themselves were evaporated equally.

The solar storm triggered by the divine beast white horse even expanded to the land, the coastline, and the distant ocean, pushing the entire Earth's crust...

However, in that instant, a bright rainbow light appeared in Iori's eyes, and the white horse suddenly disappeared.

"Bring the halo of your Lord!"

It's still the power of the White Horse's words!

However, this time is slightly different—

"A thousand lights, ten thousand lights, open the way! My steel blade shines like justice!"

Iori drew his silver-white savior sword, the broad steel weapon gleaming in his hand.

"This is the declaration of victory, the sword of the hero that annihilates all evil!"

"The world, gather your eyes in adoration of heroes here! Behold, my blade stands unrivaled!"

The divine fire of the White Horse descended from the sky, gilding the silver blade with a flowing shimmer. The escaping sword energy parted the dark clouds, and countless golden rays shot out from the blade in all directions.

"Sever it!"

The calamity fire from the heavens fell, splitting the sky in two. The light blade of the sun cleaved the sea of ​​fire, piercing through the ant mound that had no means of protection!

Then, the aftershocks of the two attacks intertwined and annihilated each other!

Buzzing!

For a full ten minutes, the aftershocks of the Crimson Lotus Storm began to subside, and the area was completely unrecognizable from its previous state.

A large section of the continental shelf was permanently removed, and countless billions of tons of the seemingly endless ocean were evaporated, even exposing dry land over long distances, while the distant seawater had not yet had time to rush in...

The pirate ship Epimetheus mysteriously disappeared, and all its crew members were transferred to the Sunboat, where they, like the reconnaissance team, looked around in bewilderment.

However, when they discovered the changes taking place on this planet, the shock was only just beginning...

"it is good!"

Looking at the newly appeared "inner sea" that hadn't yet been filled with water, Iori nodded in satisfaction, unusually excited.

But he wasn't excited about destroying an entire anthill capable of space travel; rather, he was quite pleased with his ability to control the power of the White Horse.

The power of the three gods combined can be controlled at will, something that even a god-slayer who is over a hundred years old cannot do!

Not to mention restarting the [White Horse] in a fraction of a breath, then merging it with the Savior Blade to unleash an even more concentrated penetrating attack.

The difficulty involved is something no one in the Godkiller universe has ever achieved. It's not a matter of scale or destructive power, but rather the degree of control one has over their own power.

Regardless of the past or the future, only Iori is acceptable!

"That way, we won't have to destroy a planet."

……

In the vast universe, a beautiful, ethereal figure radiating a faint golden light was sensing a distant place with her eyes closed. Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and the next moment she opened her eyes:

"Well!"

When consciousness returned to her body, the girl's clothes were soaked with sweat, and her fluffy and beautiful golden hair fell naturally with her movements, swaying constantly.

"Your Highness!"

The maids around him immediately rushed forward to help him up, asking anxiously, "What's wrong? Should we call a doctor?"

"Do not……"

The girl frowned slightly, a hint of unease and even more doubt appearing in her clear blue eyes.

“Something… a VIP… has descended upon a certain planet… no.”

After a pause, the girl corrected herself and continued, "She was just following her instincts, but the conclusion was too absurd."

"Yes... it has descended upon our 'world'."

Chapter 513 That Damn Idealistic Bastard

Golden Boat Deck;

The crew of the Epimetheus huddled around the ornately decorated railings, gazing down at the inland sea "carved out" by the aftershocks of the White Horse. Steam, like thick clouds, blanketed the entire surface, permanently altering the climate; lava flowed from fissures in the scorched earth, and jagged scars on the land seemed to bleed eternally…

"So, um... Your Excellency, you're really human?" Mechanic Eileen nudged the person next to her with her wrench, signaling them to be serious.

"Not a member of the Silver Clan in disguise? Or... a member of the Gold Clan?"

Iori did not sit on the Pharaoh's throne, but stood at the same height as the crew, calmly surveying everyone on the deck, her fingertips toying with a fragment of the Bronze Clan's mother nest—which had been crystallized by the high temperature.

He was initially very interested in the structure of the anthill, but after analyzing it slightly with his powers, he discovered that it was essentially the same as a beehive, both made of minerals and insect secretions.

The anti-gravity property is due to the targeted ingestion of a certain mineral, while the "cannon gate" that can shoot high-energy beams and the tail engine are achieved by cultivating a specific type of insect and fusing it with the nest itself.

It is not a particularly sophisticated technology in itself, but rather a result of racial talent.

As for that silver-white shield, in Iori's memory, it was passed down from the Silver Clan to the Bronze Clan. Later, after the war ended and peace was established with humans, it was given to humans (the female protagonist).

He originally wanted to take a look, but he didn't find any similar traces in the wreckage, so it probably wasn't some kind of actual device... According to the feedback from [Sky's Wisdom], it was suspected to be some kind of mark bound to the mind, which disappeared automatically after the Zerg hive was destroyed, and there's no way to deal with it at the moment.

In comparison, the human warships are more suitable for research.

The Epimetheus has actually been transferred to a certain world within the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," and is currently being carefully examined by Athena.

Although Athena is nominally an ancient Greek goddess, the disobedient god in "Godkiller" is actually a nature spirit or an embodiment of a certain concept. Athena's wisdom is not limited to a certain field or era; even interstellar spaceships are within the scope of her power.

This was already proven during the Chaldea era.

It should be noted that even the Greek Mecha Gods of the Lostbelt, those unconventional colonial spaceships that straddle the line between fantasy and science fiction, were still managed to be figured out by Athena.

To put it bluntly, as long as it remains within the realm of "human intelligence," Athena has no problem at all.

"I'm just a traveler."

Upon hearing the crew member's question, Iori laughed and pinched two fingers together, saying, "It's only slightly stronger."

"……a little?"

Everyone glanced at the "sea of ​​clouds" below, unsure how to comment.

While they were amazed, they did not worship like primitive people.

First of all, we live in the interstellar age, and everyone here has seen the world.

The former "Golden Clan" and the current "Silver Clan" can be described as possessing god-like power in the eyes of weaker races. An individual of them can crush an entire clan, and their strength and demeanor are unapproachable.

However, people do not regard them as objects of faith, especially humans. In their view, the Silver Clan is merely someone who has inherited more gold and possesses more advanced technology than them.

For more than a century since their home planet fell, humanity has never given up on the idea of ​​surpassing the Silver Race and reclaiming the solar system. Today, they are one of the top three most powerful races in the universe.

Secondly, the crew generally believe that the powerful attack was not launched by Iori himself, but by the golden ship beneath their feet. In other words, Iori may be human, but like the Silver Clan, he likely possesses such power through advanced technology.

...Although this thing doesn't look like a high-tech warship at all, maybe it will become retro once it reaches a certain level of sophistication?

(Look at Warhammer next door~)

A bold conjecture slowly formed in everyone's minds: could this golden ship be related to the Golden Clan?

That legendary race left many traces among the stars, although they have never unearthed anything like warships... but maybe that's it?

If that's the case, then everything can be explained.

"By the way... it seems like there's an extra person here."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to a man in a white uniform—the attire of the Federal Army.

"..."

The scout stood awkwardly and uneasy in the middle of a group of pirates. He had not yet recovered from the shock he had just experienced. Otherwise, it would not be surprising if he did something outrageous under such a "dangerous" environment.
