The story we started

【boom--】

[Amidst the roar that resounded through the forest, the entire ground of the ruins suddenly shook, startling countless birds and animals in the forest.]

[“What’s going on!?”]

[The ground suddenly shook violently, causing Totsuka Ayaka, who was sitting at a table in the tent studying the newly excavated fragments of an inscription, to shake along with it. She had to subconsciously reach out and hold the table tightly to prevent herself from falling down.]

[When the earthquake subsided, except for him and the table he was holding, everything else in the tent collapsed in the violent shaking, and the scene was in a mess.]

【"I……"】

[Looking at the tragic scene in her tent that looked like a typhoon passing through, Totsuka Ayaka's fair face, as white as a woman's, twitched for a while, and finally she reached out to hold her forehead with a look of stomachache.]

[“Team Leader! Please come out quickly!”]

[Before Totsuka could clean up the scene helplessly, a panicked voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent, and a figure in a white coat rushed in quickly.]

[This person is a student under Totsuka. He looks very anxious. Because of his nervousness, he neglects to pay attention to his feet. His boots step on the broken pieces of the stone tablet that are all over his feet. This behavior makes Totsuka Ayaka's eyes widen and she scolds him.]

「Kamijo! What the hell are you doing? What’s under your feet is——」

[“Stop talking! Team leader, please come out quickly, something big has happened in the ruins!”]

[“Wait! Hey!?”]

[Before Totsuka Ayaka could finish his scolding, the student he called Kamijou suppressed his words with a louder voice, and his hand was grabbed and pulled over. Totsuka was caught off guard and stumbled.]

[“What the hell are you doing? What happened? Why are you so anxious?”]

[While the two were running, Totsuka frowned and asked Kamijou next to him.]

[“You, I—I can’t explain it clearly with words. Anyway, you will understand once you get there, Team Leader!”]

[Kamijo's face was mixed with excitement and shock. Totsuka Ayaka, who had never seen such an expression on the face of this usually quiet student, raised her eyebrows, kept an eye out, and immediately increased her running speed.]

[Their tent is located outside the ruins, because their superiors are worried that if there are still Gurongi who have not awakened in the ruins, if the investigation team camps too close, they will undoubtedly become the first unlucky ones to be affected when the other party breaks the seal. ]

[For this reason, the camp was set up in a newly developed area about one kilometer away from the ruins, not too far away or too close. This way, even if something really happened, there would be enough time for the investigation team to run away, rather than being wiped out here.]

[After running for about three minutes, Totsuka Ayaka and the others stopped outside the ruins gate. ]

【"this……"】

[Looking at the entrance of the ruins, Totsuka Ayaka's expression instantly became dull, and her eyes were fixed on that place.]

[“Am I right? Team leader!”]

[Kamijo patted his chest, which was beating rapidly from running too fast, and said with a gasp.]

[But Totsuka Ayaka no longer had time to pay attention to him. His eyes were completely focused on the thing that had never appeared before at the entrance of the ruins, and he muttered to himself.]

[“What on earth is this???”]

[At this moment, in front of the Jiulangyue ruins, a huge shadow covered the sunlight that was projected onto the entrance, as well as the surprised faces of many people below.]

[A huge stone pillar, as tall as a three or four-story building and similar in appearance to an ancient Egyptian obelisk, is standing in front of us.]

[The sun shines down, and the surface of the stone pillar reflects a faint golden light. The people closest to it can clearly see the countless patterns engraved on the surface of the stone pillar.]

10. Use spirit to control the power of the four elements (4K)

[The golden light shook the heaven and earth. The order of the world was changed by the will of an individual at this moment. The laws of physics screamed like a wail under this idealistic violence.]

[The moment the golden totem was born under Zaimoku's feet, the cloudless sky suddenly became as dark as night. In this dark world, only the golden beam of light was so blazing, like the only beacon guiding the way in the endless dark night.]

[The light column shot straight up into the sky, and the clouds began to spiral around the piercing light. A totem identical to the one at the foot of the lowest Zaimokuzuki was faintly reflected above the clouds.]

【Zaimokuza was bathed in this golden light. This scene was like the invitation from God to his most devout believers in some ancient religious myths to enter the kingdom of God. Those who set foot on this path would be elevated from human to angels accompanying God.】

[Crack, crack—]

[As the totem under his feet shrinks towards the wooden base in the center, the golden ripples like ocean waves spread out in all directions, and the heavy armor in the form of a Titan makes a dense cracking sound along the cracks, and the armor fragments, which are as hard as diamond, the hardest substance in the world, fall like sand.]

[“What on earth is this…”]

[This miraculous scene also shocked Kousaka Kyosuke. The light waves spread along the beach to his body, then wrapped around his body, causing his body to tremble. He felt the power gradually filling his body in disbelief.]

[This light was actually repairing his severely injured body, especially the various hidden injuries left inside his body after using the full-load mode for a long time. Under the infiltration of this light, he actually felt that he was getting better.]

[“I, Zaimokuza——!?”]

[Kousaka Kyosuke quickly looked towards Zaimokuza, who was enveloped in golden light, but his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look the other way in an unpleasant way.]

【"hiss!!!!!!"】

[A sharp scream caused the waves to roll back and forth, and the huge figure changed its pace from rushing towards Kousaka Kyousuke and rushed towards Zaimokuza with fierce momentum.]

[Unlike the warmth that Kousaka Kyosuke felt, Garima, as a Gurongi, only felt boundless oppression in this light. As a master of elemental power, it keenly sensed something that Kousaka Kyosuke, as a human, could not feel.]

[Garima could feel that the earth element in Zaimokuza's body, like his own, was undergoing a rapid transformation under this light. The essence of the power was elevated to a level that was difficult for him to understand in a short period of time, accompanied by an incomparable sense of terror and heaviness, as if a mountain was falling down on him! ]

[This danger made Garima no longer able to look down on Zaimokuza, who was originally weak in his eyes. The warrior instinct that came from fighting in the endless sea of ​​blood was sending an unprecedented warning to its brain.]

[If you don't stop the other party, the only outcome will be death! ]

[So it followed its instinct, abandoned Kousaka Kyosuke who was about to be killed by the sword, and rushed towards Zaimokuza. The bright double blades were now covered with a layer of purple arc light, and the sharp blades tore the air into countless turbulences, emitting a demon-like wail.]

【"Damn!"】

【Kousaka Kyosuke knew that the other party would not let things go smoothly, and immediately pulled out his pistol and shot at Garima's back without hesitation, but all the nerve-breaking bullets shot along the back shell to the surrounding beach the moment they hit it.】

[Its armor is so tough!? ]

[This terrifying defense made Kousaka Kyosuke grit his teeth, not caring that his injuries had not yet fully healed, and he immediately rushed forward, trying to stop Garima's intention. ]

[But two wheels can't outrun four wheels, and two legs certainly can't outrun six legs. When Kousaka Kyosuke just started, Garima had already rushed to Zaimokuza, with its two pairs of front limbs raised high and screaming sharply.]

[“Go to hell! KU——”]

【Zaimokuza just quietly looked up at the giant mantis whose shadow completely covered him, without making any moves to defend himself.】

[——Because at this moment, the totem had completely disappeared under his feet.]

【boom! ! ! 】

[The wind and clouds changed color, and the sky roared - these two sentences are suitable to describe the strange phenomenon in the sky at this time. ]

[A golden beam of light shaped like thunder crashed down from the sky, and then exploded in all directions, deflecting the two fierce blades that were chopped down, and then bombarded Garima's chest, which was open in the empty door. The huge body was pushed away directly without any resistance under this weak light. ]

[“Puff!”]

[Even Kousaka Kyousuke, who originally wanted to come to support, was affected at this moment. The spreading golden light repelled everything around Zaimokuza without distinguishing between friend and foe. Kousaka Kyousuke and Garima, who were closest to him, were the first to be hit. Both were blown away in different directions by this brilliance.]

[Kousaka Kyosuke was knocked back to the broken tree he had been leaning on. The strong potential energy was transformed into impact force, which shook his internal organs and made him spit out blood.]

【"I--"】

[Kousaka Kyousuke raised his head with a twitching eye and looked towards the place where the light fell from Zaimokuza. He felt that the injury in his body that had just improved was aggravated again at this moment, and his heart was filled with deep grief and indignation.]

[He was also like this even though he was farther away, not to mention Garima, who was originally only a few feet away from Zaimokuza. He was directly repelled and flew backwards for nearly a hundred meters. His huge body fell into the shallow water area of ​​the beach. The impact of the water rolled up the seawater and turned it into a heavy rain that fell on the beach. ]

[The golden light flattened the entire layer of sand in that area, and then turned into golden ripples that spread in all directions. After the light disappeared, the dim sky gradually returned to its original color.]

[“What’s going on here?!”]

[The wheels of the taxi rubbed against the ground, producing thick white smoke. The light music club members who hailed a taxi on the road to transport the unconscious police officer to the hospital looked through the wheels of the taxi at the golden beam of light rushing towards the sky in the distance, and all of them were stunned.]

[“That light gives people a feeling…”]

[Kotobuki Tsumugi, who was sitting in the back seat and watching over the police officer wrapped in bandages, opened her eyes wide and looked at the light. The light dyed her pure black eyes into a transparent golden color.]

[“So warm.”]

[Akiyama Mio, who was sitting next to her and helping to take care of the unconscious police officer, nodded subconsciously. They didn't dare to ask the others to help, otherwise the unfortunate police officer might be seriously injured and die on the way to the hospital.]

[Looking at that light, she subconsciously imagined Zaimokuza's back, and clutched the scarf she was wearing with some worry.]

[Could it be you? Mr. Zaimokuza. ]

……

[The light faded, the dust settled, and everything reappeared before the eyes of the world. ]

[During the impact just now, a hole with a radius of nearly ten meters was dug out of thin air on the beach, and a figure stood in it, with golden electric currents jumping on his armor.]

【“…”】

[The right hand hanging by the side slowly reaches forward, a golden totem of "Earth" is engraved on the purple gauntlet, and it grasps the hilt of the greatsword, pulling out the blade that was stabbed into the ground.]

[This sword is similar to the previous Titan Sword only in its hilt, but everything else is completely different. Unlike the Titan Sword's original two-section hollow weapon design, this sword has a round body, and the broad silver blade has golden inscriptions engraved on both sides. The lines of the sword's edge are so sharp that they make people tremble.]

["Zaimuzuo...?"]

[Kousaka Kyosuke looked at the figure that appeared after the smoke disappeared, and hesitantly said the other person's name.]

【"it's me."】

[A familiar voice sounded, and Zaimokuza raised his head to look at Kousaka Kyosuke who was leaning against the tree trunk. His stunned face was reflected in a pair of purple compound eyes.]

[It is not surprising that Kousaka Kyousuke would have such an expression, because Zaimokuza's appearance now is completely different from before. ]

[Whether in normal Titan form or awakened mode, they are all heavily armored, but at this moment Zaimokuza's appearance is similar to the almighty form, and the armor that originally covered his body had just turned into fragments and disappeared.]

[Instead, it was replaced by a streamlined silver-white flat armor covering the entire body, with messy but strangely orderly golden and purple interwoven lines all over the armor. These lines converged from the surface of the armor to the chest, gathering on a golden totem engraved in the center of the chest.]

[That symbol is exactly the same as the one that appeared at Zaimokuza's feet before. If you look closely, you can see that each stroke that makes up that symbol is emitting a glow like molten gold, causing each line on the body to glow with the same brilliance.]

[He pulled out the giant sword that could no longer be called a Titan sword. Just a slight swing made the air whistle as if it was being oppressed by a giant object, which indirectly showed the weight of the sword.]

【"you……"】

【"don’t worry."】

[As if he could hear the uneasiness hidden in Kousaka Kyousuke's hesitant words, Zaimokuza comforted him with a relaxed tone.]

[“Don’t worry, Mr. Kosaka~ I am still myself now.”]

[——Kuga·Titan Form·Spiritual Sublimation (Earth)·Level 2.]

【This is a brand new power. 】

[This is a power that is independent of the four elements and even the Yamadam Stone. It is unique and belongs only to Zaimokuza himself, the transformer. It is a brand new element that was bred with himself as the cradle.]

【The fifth element is spirit. 】

[Zaimokuza's figure reflects the divine brilliance under the sunlight, and every line on his body carries a special beauty that transcends human wisdom and combines primitiveness and classicism, just like the David statue carved by Michelangelo, full of mighty and powerful spirit, and the golden light in his eyes suppresses everything. ]

[That golden light is the color of Zaimokuza's inner spirit after it materializes in the material world. His soul is as hot and dazzling as gold. This color is the only symbol of Zaimokuza Yoshiki's existence, and there is no other in the world. It is like a golden sun rising slowly in the depths of those eyes. The evil illuminated by that light has no place to hide, and the world will usher in light in the cycle.]

[And the big sword held by Mokuza has two strings of golden symbols engraved on both sides of the blade, which belong to the ancient Lindo language. The left side is engraved with:]

["The warrior who controls the earth, awaken the power of the soul."]

[On the right side it is inscribed;]

["When an evil creature appears, take control of the power of the soul and bury all the evil in the world with the sound of the earth."]

High School of Advanced Education, Class C.

"...Tsk!"

Ryuen Sho, who was secretly called the "tyrant of Class C" and the actual ruler, looked at the eyes of "Zaimokuza Yoshiki" in the light curtain. After staring at each other for a while, an expression of disgust suddenly appeared on his face. He swung the light curtain in front of him hard and threw it into the corner of the classroom.

Because of his big movement, he swept away the water cup on his table as well. The water cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound of breaking, and for a moment, everyone who was also watching the light curtain subconsciously turned their eyes there.

When they saw that the person making the noise was Ryuen Sho, they all quickly turned their gazes away, not daring to even look at him any longer. However, privately, many people's eyes showed emotions such as fear, disgust, and contempt. It was obvious that these students did not have a very good impression of the ruler of their class.

"What's wrong with you again? Ryuen."

Ibuki Mio, who has neat short blue hair and a personality as strong as that of a man, walked up to Ryuen Sho, looked at the broken glass and water stains on the ground, frowned and asked.

In fact, Ibuki Mio hates Ryuen Sho, the dictator of this class, but considering the overall situation, she believes that Ryuen Sho is the only one in the class who may be able to lead everyone to achieve the goal of being promoted to Class A. Although she is willing to work under him, she will not tolerate or give in when he gets annoyed by his bad temper.

"Nothing, just a little irritated."

Ryuen Sho ignored Ibuki Mio's questioning and spoke without turning his head, his expression full of mania as he looked at the blackboard in front of him.

"I saw something that hurt my eyes, so I'm not in a good mood, that's all."
