Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

[In addition, I made protective gear for my wives. Although they are not powerless, they are still very weak to me, so in order to protect them from being hurt by my enemies, I made a lot of magic gear - but I don't think there are many left.]

"I remember that all your lovers are women, right?"

[Right? Girls should marry girls! But if I were a man, I would still stick to heterosexuality! ]

"I think you just simply like women."

[Is there a problem? What's wrong with being true to your own desires?] Em said confidently, [If you ask me, it's weird that you're a blockhead who doesn't react at all when surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls. Obviously, that girl named Sarah is super easy to deal with.]

[She is weak and inexperienced, and as long as you have that intention, she will become your lover and friend in a matter of minutes - have you really never thought about finding a partner? ]

“No, I don’t think that’s necessary.”

Sieg stretched out his hand and drew a line in the air, causing the inventory of items in the warehouse to appear before his eyes. "I don't have any special feelings for any woman. Although the teachers are all very beautiful, I don't have that kind of special feeling. After all, is it really that important to have a lover?"

[...Fine, just be happy. I'm sorry I wanted to give you some advice.]

"This is inexplicable - um, can this be used as the teacher's flying magic item?"

Sieg clicked on an item on the list, and as the hill in front of him shook a few times, a pair of shoes suddenly flew out from it and landed steadily in front of Sieg.

It was a pair of boots with a pair of wings on each side.

[Hermes Boots? This thing is still there? ]

Em said.

——【Hermes Boots】

One of the magic props that Em once made, the name comes from a Greek god called Hermes. People wearing this pair of shoes can fly freely in the air, or create footholds in the air, and can also greatly enhance their jumping ability.

Although Edwards is the strongest swordsman in the world, she cannot fly. And it's not just her. No one on this planet can fly unless they have the ability to [fly].

These boots make up for her shortcomings in this area.

Although there are other magic items, Sieg feels that they are not suitable for her.

"That's enough for the teacher. As for Miss Tina, we should prepare a magic item for her that can automatically defend herself just in case. We can't ignore the possibility that someone will interfere with her."

[I don’t think that after your teacher has stopped most of the people, the remaining ones can still hurt her - by the way, you should be preparing to end this war in the next battle and let the world situation return to a three-way balance of power, right? ]

"Yeah, almost. The rebels' headquarters has been destroyed by the teacher and Miss Tina, and the Roaring Blood Clan will occupy it and replace the rebels as the new third-party force. There will probably be a lot of things in the early stages, right? But according to the plan, I will stay on this planet for about a year and a half, so I should be able to stabilize the situation before I leave."

[——It is essentially equivalent to establishing a new rebel army. ]

"Yes, and then we will recruit the more normal guys in the original rebel army, such as the Fengji Zaifu that old guy Yueying Moya mentioned. Its president is one of the original twelve apostles - the same as your plan."

Sieg himself knew nothing about war and could not make any plans.

He just had an idea, and whether it was starting a war or the various subsequent plans, they were all planned by Em and Brunhilde.

[So far, it has basically developed according to our plan. After all, it is just a civilization that is still confined to the planet, so it is too easy to deal with. Who do you plan to let be the new tyrant? ]

Em continued to ask.

[Although you will become the new tyrant in the end, you don't plan to stay on this planet anyway. After you leave, we have to find someone to impersonate you. Do you have a choice? ]

"This...teacher?"

Ziggy thought of Edelweiss.

The pinnacle of evil who reigns over the entire world's underworld——【Tyrant】.

To play such a being, the most important thing is strength. Strength that can ruthlessly crush anyone can be called absolutely powerful.

Edelweiss fits that bill perfectly.

She was already the most notorious criminal in the world, the strongest swordsman in the world, and the person who stood at the top of the planet. If she were to become a tyrant, no one would have any objection.

【May I? 】

"Hmm? Anything okay?"

[No, I mean... I thought you were thinking of taking her away and making her the third passenger on this ship.]

Em's words made Sieg stunned.

(Take the teacher away?)

This kind of thing, Zig really had never thought about it - he originally planned to take Sarah away, after all, he had agreed with her, but taking Edwards away as well... This thing had never appeared in Zig's mind.

"Why would you want me to do this?"

[There's no particular reason. I see. You haven't thought about this before.]

Em sighed slightly.

[Listen carefully, Sieg. We are travelers in the universe, and the universe is boundless and vast. Once we leave a planet, we don’t know when we will return next time.]

[It may be a few years later, it may be a few decades later, or it may be a few hundred years later, but the most likely possibility is that once we leave, we will never come back.]

[For us, what we experienced on this planet is just an episode, but for the locals who have formed a bond with us, meeting us can sometimes be a memory that they will never forget.]

[You wouldn't want to suddenly want to come back hundreds of years later, only to find that everyone you knew is no longer alive, right? ]

"this......"

Sieg couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

[Similar things have happened many times, don't think I'm scaring you]

[Anyway, you should think about it carefully later. I just hope you won't regret the hasty decision you made in the future. Even without prejudice, you actually like your teacher, right? ]

[Is it really okay to just leave her on this planet as your substitute? ]

After saying that, Em fell silent.

Only Sieg was left standing in the warehouse, staring at the Boots of Hermes in his hand in silence.

136. The Great Flame that will sweep the world

It was the fifth day of the war - midnight of the fourth day to be exact.

The clock is only half a circle away from a new day.

In the square in front of the Japanese branch.

"Is everyone ready?"

Standing at the front of the crowd, Shinguji Kurono, the commander of the Japanese branch of this shootdown operation, looked at the dozens of people in front of him.

There are less than a hundred swordsmen in Japan who are at level B or above, and more than half of them have come here now - the remaining ones did not refuse the emergency call-up, but were prepared to stay in Japan to deal with the air raids that might come at any time.

After all, as the war progressed to this day, the entire world had been ravaged by the Crainsheed, except for the island nation of Japan, which seemed to have been completely ignored and had not even suffered an air raid.

"Now is your last chance to withdraw. The mission we are about to undertake is an extremely dangerous one. Official knights, of course, and student knights have every reason to withdraw. The battlefield after this may be a hell that I cannot escape from unscathed."

"As the future of this country, you don't have to go to the battlefield now."

silence.

None of the sword cutters spoke.

Those standing here are all warriors who have made mental preparations and decided to go to the battlefield together.

Looking at the determined expressions on their faces, Shinguji Kurono knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless: "Well - before the mission begins, I will repeat the content of our mission again."

"In fifteen minutes, the next round of airstrikes will arrive. After the airstrike location is determined, all troops in the world, including us, will be immediately teleported there through the teleportation ability of the White Wing Prime Minister. During the one minute that the spaceship stays, Yashahime will do her best to pull it down from the sky and create an opportunity for us to board the ship."

"The wind wizards including the [Gale Sword Emperor] will do their best to help us fly into the sky, and the [Naniwa Star] will shatter the magic barrier on the surface of the ship."

"There are only two things we need to do after we board that ship - secure the White Wing Prime Minister's spiritual suit to that ship and provide transmission coordinates for troops around the world. Use all our strength to bring down that ship."

The teleportation ability of [White Wing Prime Minister] is essentially to teleport back and forth between his 777 blade-shaped spiritual equipment [Gate of Heaven]. Alliance branches around the world have kept one of his spiritual equipment to facilitate his movement back and forth. And this time, as long as his spiritual equipment can be brought to that ship, even if it flies into the Earth-Moon orbit again, [White Wing Prime Minister] can teleport people there!

乛"Before the war begins, I will add [Speed ​​Time] to all of you, and the rest of the auxiliary swordsmen will also do their best to assist us."

"Also, let me say something a bit redundant. From my personal point of view, I would rather you stay safe than destroying that ship. Whether you are a formal knight or a student knight, if you feel that you can no longer continue, you should retreat immediately. The teleportation function of the [Gate of Heaven] is two-way and will remain open until the battle is over."

"Don't think of yourself as a deserter, don't think of yourself as a coward. Being alive is more important than anything else! Do you understand?"

"yes------!!!"

Dozens of sword cutters responded in unison!

There are still 10 minutes until the action begins.

————————————————————

At the same time, in Japan's internment camp, which is specially used to accommodate various vicious criminals.

As the chief of the Japanese branch, Kurotsuchi Yan came to the deepest part of this place alone without any guards.

It was the most secure prison in Japan, called [Frost Hell], and it was also where the most vicious criminals in Japan were held. Decades ago, in order to fight against that natural disaster-like individual that could not be resisted by human power, at a time when even color televisions were just becoming popular, Japan had exhausted all its scientific technology and materials to finally build this prison.

“Click~~~~”

He walked through the long and narrow corridor, used his authority to open the locked door, and Heitieyan walked into the room.

The room was very spacious, with a ceiling height comparable to that of a four-story building, and more than twenty meters wide and deep, like a hangar. From the floor to the ceiling, every wall was filled with electronic equipment, which was now flashing with light as regular as breathing.

In the center of the room is a three-meter-high metal cylinder, with wires and pipes pulled out from all over the electronic equipment, extending along the floor to the bottom of the cylinder.

This column is the [Frost Hell].

A solitary cell that exists solely to hold one person.

A prison that will never be destroyed, will never stop, and will freeze its prisoners for eternity.

Coming in front of the cylinder, Hei Tieyan knelt on one knee in front of the base of the cylinder and touched the base. His right hand emitted a blood-red light that instantly spread all over the room. The fans of countless electronic instruments made a deafening sound, and the loud noise instantly lingered in the entire room.

And with this loud noise, the central cylinder began to decompose.

[Frost Hell] is filled with extremely low-temperature gas, separated by dozens of airtight walls with a thickness of more than 30 centimeters. These airtight walls are now being retracted into the underground space under the base one by one.

The room, which was originally stuffy due to the exhaust fan, now dropped to below freezing point at an extremely obvious speed as the airtight wall sank. Until the last piece of airtight wall fell.

"Huh~~~~~!"

The cold air that could freeze a person to death burst out like a tide.

Hei Tieyan, who was standing nearby, was bathed in the cold wave, and his whole body was in pain from the cold wind, but he said nothing, and even ignored the possibility of eye injuries. He endured all the discomfort with iron willpower, and stared at the white mist in front of him without blinking.

He didn't dare to blink, because the person who was about to appear before him was the most vicious criminal in Japan, a hundred times more dangerous than the Flame Beast. He had to keep a close eye on the other party's every move.

"clatter......"

The sound of footsteps came from inside.

It was a sound that reminded people of the footsteps of an elderly person, and in fact it was true. Walking out from the white mist was a ragged, emaciated old man with hollow eyes.

"This is really... this is really... an unexpected scene."

Walking out of the Sorrow Frost Hell with unsteady steps, the old man looked at Hei Tieyan with empty eyes and said, "I never thought that there would be a day when you would release me. Is this also the will of God?"

"For the time being, let me ask you - what is the reason?"

"...The war you long for has begun, [Tiandao Clan]."

Hei Tieyan said in a deep voice.

"Although this is tantamount to letting a tiger go back to the mountains, in the face of the survival of the world, any chance of victory should be used. I order you to participate in the next war and defeat the enemy from outer space."

"The leader of the Celestial Dao sects - [Great Flame] Harima Tendou."

137. Fall! Tyrannical Star!

A few decades ago, it was the chaotic post-war period shortly after the end of the war.

A new religious group called Tendaoshu has emerged in Japan.

It was an organization that praised "war" and despised "peace". Although it was somewhat similar to the rebel army, it was more radical than the rebel army.

The rebels' goal is to build a new world through violence, attempting to place the swordsmen above all social classes, motivated by selfish desire for control or money.

The Tiandao group is different. In their teachings, violence and struggle are not means, but the end itself. They believe that the most correct form of human beings is to compete with each other, and struggle will promote growth and progress. These are all "favors" given by God, so they regard struggle as a virtue.

At that time, the war had just ended and Japan was divided into two factions. The ruling party advocated a peaceful path and supported joining the [Alliance], while the opposition party advocated a struggle line that was beyond one's capabilities and promoted a second colonization plan in Asia, dreaming of dominating Asia. The Tiandao people supported the latter at the time and carried out a series of terrorist attacks in an attempt to provoke a third world war.
