Chapter 306 – Orbit Correction

000

The trump card that Edin hid until the end was the wedge Mjolnir, which could be said to be his realm itself, as its core his.

All of his creations he has made so far.

Not only the weapons displayed in the workshop, but also the Einhejars, who could be called their own limbs.

And, starting with various rare metals stored inside the fortress, to the air fortress Valhalla itself.

He sublimated all of that into a single giant armor, and entered and controlled it himself.

Truly, all of iron and steel.

Until now, he calls everything he has created and sent out to his side his and becomes one with them.

Edin felt every lump of cold metal enveloping his skin as if it were his own body.

One thing I regret is that the blue scale armor created from dragon scales was originally supposed to be included in this fusion…

Control over the dragon scale armor was already gone, so it was not possible to remove her armor from her from Amelia.

“But… It doesn’t matter. Yes, it doesn’t matter.”

Overwhelming gigantic.

A sense of omnipotence, as if becoming a transcendent.

Since it is an act that destroys the very structure of Valhalla, after using this, they had to give up aggression toward other realms for hundreds of years.

That’s why it was left as the last joker, but if the situation was like this, now she had to put all her energy into her killing all the cheeky bugs in front of her eyes.

A huge fist – a block of steel the size of a house, holding a hand in the shape of a human arm.

And, it fell like a meteorite toward Amelia and her party her, who were standing on the empty shell of the workshop that still remained.

“You are too big!”

As Gray said, watching a fist fall, one finger the size of a human standing there, made everyone break into a cold sweat.

Still, there was no way to evade such a huge fist now, standing on a platform floating in the air.

Either hit it off with force, or hold on to it and endure it.

“Haaaaagh!”

Amelia’s magic power was concentrated on her hammer.

When he started injecting additional magic into the hammer, which was originally composed of magic, the hammer naturally grew in response to her magic.

Soon, the size of the hammer would grow to the size of Edin’s fist, the steel giant.

Amelia swings the hammer and slashes Edin’s fist.

“Awesome…!”

Sif, too, looked at the scene and let out a voice as if it were absurd.

As if one punch wasn’t enough, Edin, her posture undisturbed, struck down the other fist.

“I can’t just leave everything to Amelia. Something is-“

When Sif reached out his hand at Cleon’s words, the magic spear gung Nir flew toward his falling fist her, wrapped in black magic power.

It was only the size of a toothpick to the steel giant, but the magic spear slowed down the speed of the falling fist while sending out countless flocks of crows centered on the magical power wrapped around it.

“Gray!”

“Ah, I see!”

Realizing what Sif’s horse wanted, Gray started running in place.

Accelerating the flow of magical power flowing through the suit, I fired a powerful kick at the giant’s fist.

The body, which is not an automata, explodes due to the magical power flowing from the part that came into contact with Gray, and the shape of the fist collapses and the trajectory is misaligned, even for a moment.

Soon, those things were regenerated in an instant, as if they couldn’t even damage Mjolnir’s near-infinite magic.

“It’s a bit lacking!”

“I-I’ll try my best! Enchanting the golem…!”

Gray’s struggles showed no sign of stopping the attack, and the next moment Peruluca’s hair turned pure white.

She pours her magic power into the summoned golem, Cleon.

The metal golem, whose body was half damaged, succeeded in regenerating her body her with the endowment of her magical power her, and then flew up and took Edin’s fists with both of her arms her.

“Aww…!”

Whenever the golem exerted her power her, her magical energy her was quickly drained, and after her imprint her shined brightly-

“[Oh my gosh, this reckless slave. If your body is destroyed, I will die too, so use your magic a little wiser.]”

A different tone of voice came out, and additional magic was activated to cover the golem’s body.

Then, her golem’s body her rose a little and changed its form with her magic her, taking the form of a giant hand rather than a humanoid.

Furthermore, because she floated in midair, there was little risk of her footing her being destroyed when parrying her attacks her.

“[This side is more suitable for blocking and parrying attacks] S-Master…!”

[I will change the trajectory of the attack]

Having said that, the golem sprayed her mana as it was, then turned the trajectory of the hand of the giant holding onto the ground, not the fortress, and dropped it.

After being attached to the giant’s fist, Gray landed on top of the attack and looked down at his legs his with a painful expression on his face.

“Ugh… My legs are numb…”

[The power difference with the opponent is too great. A temporary retreat is recommended.]

Hermes’ cold analysis was heard, but neither Cleon nor Amelia lost their fighting spirit.

“There’s no way to run away from an enemy of that size. If you’re in this area, they’ll chase you anywhere. The golem grabs your hand to buy you some time, but that’s only for a moment. Something, a countermeasure is needed.”

“It’s as you say.”

There was a voice that agreed with Cleon’s words.

When the party headed there, they saw Mimir-Cassius taking off his mask and mat.

“As expected, you are His Highness Cassius.”

Cleon spoke as if he had predicted his true identity his to some extent and looked at his changed appearance his.

Underneath the mask and robe—his appearance his had changed a lot from that of a pretty young man with beautiful blonde hair.

The left half of his body was stained black, as if it had rotted away, and his left eye was crushed.

His hair had also faded from blonde to white, and his left arm his was already badly twisted.

“I, Your Highness…”

Amelia had noticed that he had been eroded by the magic of another dimension from the eroded part he showed me.

I was a little shocked at how serious it was than I thought.

“As expected, Mr. Cleon. Did you notice my true identity?”

To Cassius’s words, Cleon did not give any answer, what he expected was stagnation to the end, and what would happen next.

No way, even Cleon didn’t know that it would change so much.

“…That expression is as expected. Well. It’s irrelevant now, so let’s talk about it later- It’s a way to stop that colossus.”

“Is there such a thing…?”

At Amelia’s words, Cassius smiled.

“I’ve been his aid for a year, thoroughly analyzing this fortress and Edin’s strategy itself. I’m the only one he’s revealed about that power.”

The moment Cassius said that, the hand of the giant that the golem was holding back was released.

“This is the end of the pranks you play with your leftovers! Damn you bugs!”

When a booming voice emanated from the giant god, a crackling sound was heard, and then a hole opened at the tip of the burdensomely huge finger.

“… His Highness Cassius?

When Cleon saw the hole and had an anxious premonition, Cassius silently spread his uncorroded hand his.

“—After blocking that attack for now.”

Then, the golden magic that spread from Cassius’ hand created a protective shield that covered the entire party.

The next moment, if you think that a huge metal clattering sound rang out.

A rain of lead bullets began pouring from the openings of his open fingers.

“Hey II!!”

Peruluca’s voice resounds like a scream, and the white hair color returns to its original color.

Like a fierce shower hitting a window, hundreds or thousands of bullets hit Cassius ‘protective shield his.

“Listen carefully, Mr. Cleon, and everyone. Destroying that gigantic weapon… Is virtually impossible. It’s a condensation of everything in this world… So to speak, the world itself.”

Cassius’ words were different from what Cleon and Amelia expected.

Is it impossible to win against an indestructible weapon, that is, Edin?

“What a sword! A sword that I didn’t see breaking earlier?”

When Gray spoke as if he didn’t believe Cassius’ words, Cassius gave a small smile.

Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead, as if to indicate that mana was constantly being consumed to maintain the protective shield.

“However, you must have seen it regenerate. That giant is maintained by Mjolnir, which absorbed the five worlds. Rather, Edin can be said to be swayed by its power his.”

“…In other words, dealing with that giant is no different from dealing with five worlds at the same time.”

At Cleon’s words, Cassius nodded his head.

“Yes, that’s right. But- it’s my purpose to create that form that draws out all of Mjolnir’s power.”

001

After Cassius was thrown into a gap in another dimension, in a space where neither front nor back nor top or bottom was known.

The future foresight he had learned from Sophia showed numerous possibilities as if gnawing at his spirit his.

As if there was no hope for the future, the foreknowledge that created his despair in various forms.

What if Cassius refused Edin’s aggression?

Cassius was killed on the spot by Edin, and Edin resurrected Cassius as Einhejar and made him obey.

And by absorbing the information he has, he invades other realms based on it.

By destroying the realm itself without leaving a single stronger survivor, Mjolnir’s power continues to grow.

Cleon, Freya, Amelia, and Gray, who arrived with a time difference, tried to stop Edin, but it was impossible for the four of them to capture Valhalla.

Gray was captured and took away Hermes, Amelia was possessed by the blue scale armor, and Cleon unreasonably raised his magical powers her to save them.

It becomes a member of the world devourer, devouring even the remaining areas, starting with Edin’s realm.

Like Jormungand, a gigantic serpent that devours the world, and Yogtos, a time-parasitic spirit.

Every time Cassius foresaw such a future, he changed his conditions little by little and began to absorb the magical power of another dimension that strengthened his ability to foresee.

First of all, Cleon and his party his needed allies.

That’s why he put his hands on each area in advance and left a survivor.

The survivors needed to fight Edin for revenge or survival, and will lend their strength to Cleon and Amelia, who share the same purpose.

Next was the dragon scale armor.

The compatibility between Amelia and her armor was better than Edin could have imagined.

If Cleon wasn’t around and Amelia went out of her way wearing that armor…

The moment I completely assimilated with the white dragon.

Amelia disappears from this world, and Asteropetes, the white dragon in the sky, descends into this realm wrapped in hatred and anger.

After shaking off all restrictions and losing mercy, the dragon chews Edin alive and kills him, then absorbs Mjolnir’s power and grows into a huge demonic dragon that devours other realms.

It was the birth of Amelia, the gyeshikryong.

Afterwards, the dragon opens the door to the world and returns to the original world, becoming the worst being that burns and devours everything.

If the armor is destroyed while the dragon soul is not free, the armor’s power will run out of control and automatically target the best nearby host-

Amelia ran out of control, causing the same result.

What was needed there was Cleon’s dragon ring.

Cleon’s ring allowed him to communicate with the dragon’s soul, and using that power, he could purify the white dragon’s thoughts and give Amelia new strength.

Finally, it was about Mjolnir.

As long as he joined Edin, it was impossible to prevent another world from being invaded and absorbed by Mjolnir.

So, in order to get rid of Mjolnir, which had become too powerful, a way to get Edin to assume the form of a giant was needed.

If Edin had fought using Mjolnir as a pure weapon, even if Edin died, Mjolnir would have moved on its own and killed Cleon’s party.

Mjolnir had already absorbed countless souls and began to move with his ego like a magic sword of a magic swordsman.

The way to blur Mjolnir’s ego and disperse his power was to induce Edin to transform into a gigantic giant.

And from within the giant, only Edin and Mjolnir, which are used like living cores, can be attacked at the same time and deal great damage.

It was the only way to stop this giant and defeat Edin.

It took a year to arrive at this answer.

In order to see countless futures, he continued to foresee and absorb mana over and over again.

The appearance of Cassius was the result of such repetition.

And-something about the Exiled Church.

Even though he could predict the future, the reason he didn’t stop the Exiled Church was also for Amelia’s sake.

He couldn’t speak directly with his mouth.

Obviously, Amelia would have objected.

However, he swore.

In order to protect the world no matter what consequences one faces.

That he would send Amelia and Cleon to the right future.

That is, a disciple of Sophia, the great sage who protected the world from the demon sword emperor, who could be called the demon king.

It is the role of one who has been gifted from heaven with a talent that is slightly more special than that of a human being.

Cassius thought so.

002

“As you may know, Mjolnir is the wedge of this world. And we must fight the wedge with the wedge.”

At Cassius’ words her, Sif looked at her Gungnir, and Peruluca looked at the book of the law.

“Five worlds- No, six if you include this world. You will need the power of the wedges of the six worlds.”

“Is that a lot…?”

Gray looked around, but saw no other wedges aside from Gungnir and the Book of Laws.

“The wedge of Yggdrasil’s world is her alter ego her, Freya. And the wedge of Frost Queen’s world is-“

“…An ice hammer with some of the ice crystal’s power.”

At Amelia’s words, Cassius nodded his head.

“Is it still your dog?”

At Sif’s point, Cassius took out a small egg from his pocket.

The egg was white, but the surface was engraved with a pattern resembling a spider’s web.

It was more like a small stone than an egg, and I felt quite strong magical power nonetheless.

Now, I could see that Cassius was borrowing part of his magical power from that egg.

“…Egg?”

“It’s Anansi’s egg.”

Cool, Cleon cleared his throat.

It was because the image of Anansi and the image of her laying eggs naturally came to mind.

“Why do you do that?”

When Sif asked a little warily, Cassius answered her as if to reassure her.

“When I went to the realm, I was worried about entrusting it to Utgart, so I just kept it.”

“…”

In response to Cassius ‘answer her, Sif’s expression her changed as if she knew it without realizing it.

“The other one…”

At Cleon’s words, Cassius looked up at the sky.

“…Soon, they’ll come. They’ll be watching over us from there too. Until then, we’ll have to drain that giant’s stamina.”

At Cassius’ words, the party nodded.

Cleon looks at his body his, unable to fight because of his injuries her, as if indignant.

Amelia looked at Cleon and talked.

“…Cleon always protected me and Rubera. This time, it’s my turn to protect Cleon.”

Looking into Amelia’s strong-willed eyes, Cleon shook her head.

“There’s no such thing as a turn to defend each other. Even if one arm doesn’t move, you can fight with the other arm.”

As Cleon said, he grabbed the handle of the broken crystal sword – Arondaite.

“Are you okay? Don’t overdo it-“

Just as Sif was about to say that, Freyja, who recovered his body her to some extent and came to his senses her, stumbled and stood up.

“Leave it alone. … That man is a man with that kind of personality. Rather than rational judgment, he moves as his heart tells him.”

Cleon smiled wryly at Freya’s slightly harsh words.

The next moment, Realizing that Cassius’s barrier could not be cleared with a rain of lead bullets, Edin was about to try another attack.

Exactly, the spear of lightning that pursued Amelia.

It was not the version that Cassius deliberately weakened, but he aimed at the party with full power.

“…Can that also be blocked with this wall?”

“No. From here on, everyone should avoid each other.”

When Cassius answered Cleon’s question, Peruluca let out another scream-

The next moment, a huge flash of light burst out and intense lightning strikes poured down on the party.

It was a pillar of light, like the wrath of a god.
