Time goes back to a minute ago.

The war dividing zone between the Glow Empire and the Kolai Empire.

The top of the Starfall Tower.

The Speaker of the Council of the Round Table sits opposite the Pope of the Temple.

In front of the two of them, there is a translucent projection that clearly shows the scene of the mechanical holy city - Erikd.

Looking at the purple and blue mechanical gods that touched the thin flowing clouds at a height of thousands of meters, the Temple Pope let out a heartfelt admiration: "What a magnificent creation, the combination of the divine mechanical body made by you and the 'Life Crystal' I provided can indeed create the greatest miracle. ”

"It's a pity that the conditions for the bearer of the 'God's Heart' are too harsh, otherwise, it would be possible to manufacture mechanical gods wholesale."

Hearing the words of the Pope of the Temple, the Speaker of the Round Table Council smiled at the corners of his mouth: "Do you know how expensive it is to manufacture the body of the God of Thunder and Death? ”

"Forget it, there's no point in talking to someone like you about this kind of topic."

"Why should you be angry, Mr. Speaker?" The Temple Pope was in a good mood, he stood up and straightened the hem of his clothes:

"Now that the fruit is ripe, 'Him' must not be destroyed by accident."

"The deal has been made, so I'll take my leave."

The Temple Pope took a special cross pendant from his bosom and placed it in front of him, a gentle white light spreading out over his body.

The Speaker of the Round Table Council did not speak, but just watched the dissipating back of the Temple Pope with a calm expression, and only after he could not sense the breath of the Temple Pope at all, did he turn his head and quietly watch the picture.

And what happened next made his eyes flicker red.

Witnessing the out-of-control Thunderbolt God, the fallen Head Researcher Mono, and the Temple Pope stepping out of the white-lit spatial portal, he pressed the button in his hand with a gloomy look.

……

The Holy City of Machinery, Erikde.

After the fall of Lead Researcher Mono, his life force and soul power condensed into a pale gold glowing purple blood soul essence in Roy's [Leviathan Heart], and that bright pale gold was a light that could light up even the deepest darkness.

Demigod-level Blood Soul Essence!

It's something Roy never got his hands on!

This is also the trophy obtained by the first demigod he killed with his own strength!

Under the Privy Cathedral, the monster that came "in" from the Chief of Divine Punishment was killed by the Duke of the Border, and it had nothing to do with him, and naturally he could not obtain the essence of the blood soul.

The legendary extreme physique could no longer allow Roy to improve much.

And how far can this demigod-level blood soul essence make his physique rise?

Roy is looking forward to it.

With the end of the battle with Lead Researcher Mono, the duration of Paradise Lost has also come to an end.

When the state of destruction and the state of starlight ended, a strong sense of weakness swept through Roy's body and soul.

Without hesitation, he began to absorb the demigod-level blood soul essence.

The purest nourishing substance rejuvenated his depleted body and soul, not only slowly recovering, but also pushing the limits upwards at an even and steady pace.

"Roy, are you alright?"

On Latiyi's shoulders stood the puppet Cecil in the form of a fierce battle, and in order to prevent the two girls from being injured, Roy had the two hide in a different space away from the center of the battlefield.

Now that the battle was over, Latiyi couldn't wait to teleport to Roy's side.

The dark blue moonlight lifted the petite body and landed on Roy's shoulder, and Cecil didn't speak, but there was worry in his eyes.

The battle of the demigods has exceeded the upper limit of the two women's abilities, and they may be seriously injured by the aftermath attack.

"I'm fine."

Roy shook his head.

With a single step, his figure vanished in an instant, and he came to the bottom of the mechanical god, looking up at the mechanical god whose internal control was constantly being tilted.

On one side is a chaotic, disorderly flood of information.

On the other hand, there is the consciousness of Tonien.

The two are engaged in fierce battles on battlefields that are invisible to the naked eye.

And in this level of battle, outsiders can't help much, and the only thing that determines the victory of this battle is Tonine's own will.

"Hoo ......"

Roy exhaled lightly and flew to the mechanical god's shoulder.

Although it is in the battle of consciousness, with the mechanical gods as the center, there is still a heavy pressure within a radius of kilometers.

It was the coercion of the gods that belonged to the gods that the god of thunder was instinctively exuding—the "world".

The existence of the "world" has made the space within this range to an incredible extent, and Latiyi's spatial teleportation ability has directly lost most of its power, and it can only barely disturb the space, and it cannot teleport at all.

Beneath the hundred-meter-tall head of the mechanical deity, Roy, Cehir, and Lathi stood on its shoulders like three tiny ants.

"Come on, Tonigne."

Roy shouted silently in his heart.

Just as he was thinking about what else he could do for Tonine, a white door-shaped aura appeared in front of the mechanical god's eyebrows.

A figure stepped out of it, white and gold robes, a scepter of light, it was the Pope of the Temple, he lowered his head and looked at Roy below.

With their eyes facing each other, Roy's pupils shrank, and he prepared to enter the "state of destruction" battle.

However, in the next moment, the faces of the two changed at the same time.

A terrifying electromagnetic disturbance swept through their bodies in an instant, and at the same time, ten devastating fluctuations that rapidly fission and expansion appeared within the perceptions of the two of them.

“？！”

The sudden upheaval made the Temple Pope's smiling face pause, and then it became difficult to see: "Ruthless enough, decisive enough." ”

The Temple Pope no longer hesitated, raised his hand, and plunged deeply into the gem at the center of the mechanical god's eyebrows.

Roy wanted to stop it, but before he entered the "state of destruction" and stepped into the demigod level, he was swept by this sudden strong electromagnetic wave, and his body and soul were temporarily paralyzed, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch as the Temple Pope, who inserted his hand into the mechanical god's eyebrow gem, pulled out an irregular crystal from it.

"Is the broken heart of God, barely usable."

The Temple Pope sighed and looked deeply at the Roy trio below.

The moment he saw Lathiel and Cecil in the form of a puppet, the Pope of the Temple knew that the man in front of him with the gray threaded mask was the culprit who constantly sabotaged his plans.

He'd love to get rid of it right here.

Alas, there is no time left.

A second passed, and the devastating fluctuations in the perceptual circle that were so fissioned that even he felt terrified made the Temple Pope realize that if he didn't leave, he would die here.

Without hesitation, without hesitation, the Temple Pope directly inserted the "Broken Heart of God" into his left heart.

I don't know what kind of secret method the temple pope used, at this moment, he gave Roy the feeling that he actually had the feeling of the divine personality of the god of thunder and righteousness in his full form.

"If you can survive, then settle everything."

A strong white light emanated from the pendant around the neck of the Temple Pope, and in the shattering of the pendant, the figure of the Temple Pope also disappeared in place.

The second second.

Roy finally broke free from the "paralyzed state", which was due to the fact that he was now in a state of absorbing the essence of the blood soul, and his body and soul were highly active, otherwise it would take at least three seconds to break free.

At this point, the devastating energy fluctuations had brewed to a point that made him shudder both physically and mentally.

If the intensity of the devastating fluctuation at the beginning was 1, then after two seconds of fission, it has reached a terrifying 100, and soon, it will reach a critical point!

Escape?

As soon as the idea came to mind, Roy rejected it.

He doesn't have the ability to teleport in space, and Latyi, who has the ability to teleport, is still in a "paralyzed state", and in a second, he can't escape from the mechanical holy city - Ericod.

What's more, Tonine is still in the body of the mechanical god!

With the Temple Pope taking away the crippled heart of the mechanical god, the personality of the god of thunder and the right machine has become unstable and has begun to fall, and although it still maintains the status of the god, it has also reached the point of collapse.

He escaped, what to do with Tonine, who is still trapped in it?

What to do? What to do!

Roy's brain was running wildly, and finally, he made a decision.

Grabbing Lathi in the "paralyzed state" with one hand, and putting the puppet Cecil in the pocket in front of him with the other, Roy turned into a streamer, soared into the sky, and came to the gem with the broken eyebrows of the mechanical god, and plunged directly into it.

It looks like a hard gemstone, but when it enters it, it is as soft as a liquid and full of viscousity.

With the keen energy perception given by [Infinite Desire: God], Roy "saw" a unique light in the energy liquid-the magic fluctuations that belong to Tonine.

Under the full impact, Roy soon came to the vicinity of the magic fluctuations, and saw Tonine, suspended in the energy liquid, with his hands on his knees, his eyes closed as if he was sleeping, and his whole body transformed into a perfect mechanical body.

As soon as his empty left hand grasped Tonine's arm, [Satan's Redemption] unfolded in an instant, and the extremely yellow circle of light sheltered the four of them.

The next moment, a terrifying and devastating explosion occurred.

“——！！！”

At the border, at the top of the Starfall Tower, in front of the Speaker of the Round Table, ten mushroom clouds rose from the mechanical holy city of Ericod, and they intertwined and converged into a giant mushroom cloud that encompassed the entire city.

The strong light beyond the limit of the human eye broke out instantly, and the terrifying light and heat caused the equipment that captured the picture to melt directly, and also made the projection directly black.

The violent vibration can be faintly detected even from the border more than a thousand kilometers away.

On this day, all the citizens of the Kolai Empire witnessed the rise of the world's second round of "scorching sun".

Countless people were robbed of their vision in the bright light, and millions of people in the mechanical holy city of Ericd died directly at this moment.

The power of panic has changed the color of the heavens and the earth, and even the demigods who stand on the top of the world will be annihilated in this destruction.

This moment.

Finaki on the Witch Island, the Twelve Pillars of Radiance in the royal capital of St. Fuyene, and the old head of the Royal Knights, the Grand Inquisitor of the Temple sitting alone on the edge of a cliff somewhere......

All the demigods in this world have set their sights on the direction of the imperial capital of the Kolai Empire at the same time, witnessing the birth of "divine punishment" from a long distance.

……

Mechanical Holy City - Erikd.

It is no longer accurate to say that.

Because the former mechanical supreme city has been turned into ruins under the "scorching sun" formed by the convergence of ten "starfalls".

This sacred city, which symbolizes the temple of machinery, will no longer exist.

Endless light and heat, filling everything within the perceptual horizon.

The extremely yellow aperture ripples like water waves.

The energy in Roy's body is constantly being consumed, and it is transformed into soul power to supply the existence of [Satan's Redemption].

One second, two seconds......

In this forbidden place, he gritted his teeth and held on for five seconds.

The [Satan's Redemption], which was previously consumed in seconds to resist the electromagnetic pulse, has now become a consumption calculated in terms of energy in the face of this devastating impact.

When the time came to the sixth second, Roy's speed of transforming soul power had gradually failed to keep up with the consumption rate of [Satan's Redemption].

The ripples on the polar yellow aperture have been connected and may collapse at any time.

"Damn it!"

Roy gritted his teeth and persevered.

Standing beside him, Latiyi, who had broken free from the "paralysis state", turned pale, and kept trying to sense the space, trying to teleport away with Roy.

However, the land was filled with extreme light and heat, and even the concept of spatial existence became blurred, and every perception was a painful torture for Latiyi, but she still gritted her teeth and kept trying.

And Cehir, who stood on Roy's shoulder, used the gentle power of the dark moon to soothe the wounds and fatigue of Roy and Latiyi's spirit and soul.

Although the effect is far less than Shanica's life force, at this moment, it is also precious for the two who are on the verge of collapse.

But no matter how persistent.

The arrival of the limit does not depend on the will of man.

The supply of soul power could not keep up with the speed of consumption at all, and there were no more ripples on the extremely yellow aperture, replaced by dense cracks.

A flash of misery flashed in Roy's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Before death came, he did not regret coming to the Holy City of Machines to rescue Tonine, the only thing he regretted was his past self, why he didn't work harder.

If he had the realm of a demigod at this moment, he would have the ability to protect Sehir, Latiyi, and Tonigne, so that they would not die here with them, who were already ill-fated.

"Sorry......"

Turning his head to look at Latiyi, who was pale, and Cehir, who was struggling to maintain the light of the dark moon on his shoulder, Roy said softly.

"It's not your fault, why apologize?" Cehir smiled lightly: "Although the time we have experienced together is so short, I don't regret having you by my side~"

Lathi didn't speak, even though she was desperate, she still sensed the space again and again, she could feel that the light and heat around her were gradually fading, give her some more time, as long as she could try to teleport over a long distance, however......

Already, there's no time.

The extremely yellow aperture completely cracked open, and debris flew all over the sky.

Roy closed his eyes, ready for death.

But the next moment.

The light and heat that had been expected to contain destruction did not come, and not only that, but a warm feeling swept through his body, lifting his tired spirit.

He opened his eyes in a daze, raised his head, and looked at a pale blue half-illusory figure, making an embrace, and the band of light that spread out from her body formed a protective cover, protecting himself, Cechir, and Lathiyi.

Familiar faces, different bodies...... Looking at the girl who had lost her body and had only energy left, Roy couldn't help but murmur:

"Tonigne......

"I'm here, Lord Roy." The girl's voice was as calm as before, and she couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations.

She lowered her head, even in her semi-illusory form, she still looked at Roy in the form of a "mechanical girl": "In the past, I took your protection, and today, I will protect you." ”
