Dada!

Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!

Rumble!

Nearly 100 robots stood in front of a locked metal gate, venting countless bullets and small missiles.

Explosions filled the passageway, and metal shards flew everywhere.

"It's all for Lao Tzu, get out!"

With Hideyoshi's roar, the huge, shield-wielding crawler robot burst out of the smoke and rushed towards the gate.

Tank Fabricator - Steel Tank! (Optional)

Shout! Shout! Shout!

As three rockets were fired, exploding in the swarm of robots, the fire of heavy machine guns rang out.

Dada!

In an instant, a large number of robots were hit and exploded, but more were holding weapons and continuing to fire at Hideyoshi.

【Warning! The shield energy continues to decline, and it is about to reach a critical value! (computer prompt)

"Full power! Crash into me! ”

Boom Boom!

Heavy tracks rolled forward with a roar, crushing all enemies along the way.

Bang!

Bite!

With a loud bang, a blue energy shield appeared on the metal door, causing a ripple.

"Start the self-destruct program!"

[Command confirmed, start self-destruct countdown] (computer prompt)

At this moment, the remaining mechanical guards outside continued to vent their fire on Hideyoshi's steel tank, and one protective metal plate after another was shattered and blown away.

Drip!

However, after a soft sound, the entire steel tank exploded, and metal fragments and shock waves spread instantly.

Rumble!

The scorching flames filled the room, and all the robots were destroyed.

After a few moments, the room returned to calm, except for the charred metal walls that indicated a violent explosion.

Click!

In front of the metal wall, a thin yellowish shield shattered, and Hideyoshi slowly stood up from it.

On his right hand is a [Thor Aegis] that was short-circuited and burned due to excessive energy input.

And in front of the heavy metal door, the blue energy shield was still there, albeit dim.

On the other hand, Hideyoshi, he doesn't have much strength anymore...

"Damn it!"

Bang!

Hideyoshi punched the energy shield, causing ripples.

"Obviously... It's almost... Damn it! ”

Bang!

Another punch hit the shield, but it was almost useless.

【Master...】(Hatsune)

【master...】(Hidden & Twilight)

Hideyoshi gritted his teeth, clenched his right hand, and...

Inch Fist: Flame Sui!

Bang!

With a flash of fire, the entire shield flashed and returned to its original state...

Thump!

And Hideyoshi knelt down all at once, his right hand drenched in blood.

"The hosts! Your hand! ”

Hatsune jumped straight out of Hideyoshi's portable computer and held him up.

"Obviously, it's almost..."

"It's not the master's fault, the master you have been..."

[Did you do your best?] 】

At this moment, Yug Sotos's seemingly non-existent voice echoed in Hideyoshi's ears again.

[But obviously, the miracle you tried your best to create was not enough for you to save her]

[The 'settings' given to you by those guys are like a layer of shackles, restricting you, but also giving you strength]

[How sad~]

But what can you do? As the old god of the future said, now, you are just toys~]

Hideyoshi, with Hatsune's support, staggered to his feet and looked at the barrier in front of him.

"yes, I'm 'scrap'..."

"This 'setting' given by the gods of the upper realm restricts me, but it also protects me..."

"Who would take a scrap of wood as a threat?"

"But can't you have a dream for scrap wood?"

"Can't scrap wood want to fulfill those wishes?"

"Can't waste wood protect what you want to protect?!"

"I absolutely, absolutely will not admit defeat..."

"In some things, even if it's broken, it's... Also..."

At this time, a large amount of qi began to gather on Hideyoshi's blood-drenched right hand, and magma-like lines covered his right hand.

At the same time, among the gods of the upper realm, on one of the panels of Hideyoshi's information, the [waste wood (?) The characters trembled.

"Whatever you want!"

Bang!

Hideyoshi broke free from Hatsune's support, clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed into the barrier in front of him, followed by another punch.

Bang!

"I'm weak! But I definitely don't want those guys to give in! ”

Bang!

"I've been running away from my own battles! But I definitely ran away when it came! ”

Bang!

"I'm cowardly! I'm always tricky! I don't have any real power! ”

Hideyoshi almost roared, slamming into the barrier in circles and circles.

"She has nothing to do with me! It's my wishful thinking! I don't have much ability! ”

Bang bang!

"But, I'm still going to save her!"

Inch Fist: Dragon Roar!

Rumble!

With a loud bang, Hideyoshi slammed his fist into the barrier, and red light flashed across it.

Click!

With the sound of something shattering, cracks appeared on the barrier, and then, the barrier completely shattered.

Hideyoshi clasped his hands around the crack in the metal door and snapped it open.

The reason for moving forward was unimpeded, and Hideyoshi, who had done all this, suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Master!"

Hatsune ran forward and helped Hideyoshi up.

"I... It worked..."

[Yes, you succeeded, but only here]

Yug Sotos's voice rang in Hideyoshi's ears again.

But at the end of the passage? Do you still have what it takes to save that little girl? 】

Boom Boom!

Suddenly, the entire ground began to shake, and the wait above Hideyoshi's head began to flicker.

The sound of the bubbles echoes [You have done a miracle, but that's all]

[Your miracle failed to save her. 】

[In countless timelines, what I have seen so far, you have not succeeded]

"But... Damn..."

Hideyoshi struggled to get to the end of the passage as quickly as possible.

However, it is clear that his body does not allow him to do such high-intensity movements.

[The existence you have to face is a behemoth to you] The sound of the bubble echoes [Even if you are in the best state, it is impossible to match him]

And in your current state, what can you do? 】

"Shut up!" Hideyoshi roared angrily at his surroundings.

[Hehe~Human beings are like this~]

[Some people pursue wealth, but they are buried by wealth]

[Some people pursue power, but they are torn apart by power]

[Some people seek knowledge, but they are crazy about knowledge]

[However, throughout the ages, human beings have continued to repeat all this, unwilling to give up]

At this moment, as if time had been reversed, the wounds on Hideyoshi's body began to heal, and his tired spirit began to recover.

[What step can you take?] 】

You can choose from an infinite number of futures, but when all futures lead to death, what will you choose? 】

[I'm looking forward to your performance]

Then, Yug Sototh's voice disappeared completely, as if everything just now was illusory.

"The host..."

"Hatsune, go back." Hideyoshi said as he looked at the wide open metal door in front of him.

Hatsune didn't ask anything, and went straight back to Hideyoshi's portable computer.

Immediately, Hideyoshi ran towards the other end of the gate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

City of T

Bear!

The cyan flames burned the misshapen pieces of flesh all over the ground to ashes, and the city slowly fell silent.

In Black Howling Dragon's office, the empty skeleton sat on a chair made of rattan, his eyes closed.

"It took a lot of time, but I still solved the other party~"

At this moment, Sebas walked over with a bowl in his hand.

"The soup made according to the prescription left by the adults has a calming effect." Sebas said as he placed the bowl containing the potion in front of the empty remains. "It will make you have a good dream in the future."

“．．． Thank you very much..."

Rumble!

Suddenly, a huge burst of energy was detected by a detector in the office, and a red alarm symbol flashed.

"It's...!"

"Don't worry"

Sebas smiled and said to the wreckage.

"It's just the worst that happened."

"Worst-case scenario?"

"But it's all in the adult's plan..."

"We don't need to participate in the next battle, just rest."

“．．． Is it..."

"If you're free, come with me to prepare breakfast."

"You'd better go by yourself"

The empty wreck drank the bowl of potion in one gulp and walked to the basement.

Sebas, on the other hand, remained smiling as he watched the empty wreckage disappear from his sight.

．．．．．．

Hideyoshi's location

"Hahaha~Hahaha~!"

"Strength! A steady stream of power! ”

"Young body! And the power that only this god deserves! ”

At this moment, in a glass container, golden energy was being extracted and poured into a larger glass container behind it.

The ground trembled, and countless metal plates floated in the air, spinning.

Woohoo blah blah!

Suddenly, several missiles flew from the entrance, heading towards the large glass container.

Boom Boom Boom!

The flying metal quickly blocked the large glass container, and the incoming missile exploded.

"Zero!"

"Stupid ants!"

Woohoo!

Several metal plates smashed around him, and the tremor grew stronger.

"I can't help but admire your courage and means, a mere human can defeat [Mountain] one after another. [Silver] and [Phantom]..."

In that large cylindrical glass container, an angular figure rises and falls.

"But that's all!"

"Didn't you want to save her? Then die with this useless garbage! ”

Click!

Rumble!

With the sound of glass shattering and something breaking through the ceiling, a large number of heavy metal plates fell, wires snapped, and sparks flew everywhere.

Outside, the entire mountain that was the base sank downward, and the whole mountain collapsed.

Then a figure rushed out of it and stopped in the air.

"Look at this perfect body! This god-like power! ”

"Come on, come on! My people! Let me rule the world! ”

At this moment, countless metals rose into the air from the surrounding area, converging towards the figure.

"Mortals! I! God of Machines! It will be your new ruler! ”

On the other side, under layers of rock and soil, there is a small space made of metal sheets.

"I'm also... Alive? ”

In the darkness, Hideyoshi unleashed a light spell and looked around.

"Wait! What about zero?! ”

As the entire room collapsed, Hideyoshi broke the glass container where Zero was and was buried.

In the corner of this space, Xiu found Zero, who was already dry and dying.

Hideyoshi picked up Zero's thin body and looked at her face, which was no longer beautiful.

“．．． Ji..."

There was a sound that seemed to come from nothing, and a withered arm trembled and raised, trying to touch something.

"I'm here"

Hideyoshi lightly took Zero's raised arm and placed it on his left cheek.

“．．． I'm sorry..."

Zero stroked Hideyoshi's cheek, and a few drops of blood and tears slowly flowed.

"I've never blamed you"

At this time, a trace of light slowly flowed down Zero's arm to Hideyoshi's body.

“．．． Thank you..."

Zero's body was light, as if she would disappear in the next second.

"Hold on! Be sure to hold on! I have a way... I'll be able to..."

“．．． Promise me... Gotta live..."

The streamer is getting dimmer and dimmer, like a starlight that is about to disappear.

“．．． I love you, Khim..."

In the midst of that ruin, her arms hung limply as Zero's remaining strength was transmitted to Hideyoshi Zero.

At this moment, the rock overhead was lifted, and a huge machine was being assembled.

At this moment, all the sounds around him disappeared for Hideyoshi.

The sound of metal colliding, the sound of stones breaking and falling, the sound of the wind howling...

Hideyoshi held Zero's hand and didn't speak for a long time.

"The ability... Full! ”

Woohoo!

As if commanded, the surrounding metal flew through the air and began to reassemble.

[Huh? 】

The giant humanoid machine that was assembling noticed the phenomenon and looked at it.

[Stupid mortal, not dead yet? 】

But you can never stop me! 】

"I don't care what your plans are, what your intentions..."

"It doesn't matter where you come from, you have the power of the gods..."

"The only thing I have to do is..."

"Kill you!"
