Chapter 411 – Season 2) 6. Countdown (3)
In one corner of the night sky, small flashes of light appeared one after another.
At first, most people didn’t even notice its existence, and as time went by, more and more people noticed its existence as the flashes got bigger and bigger, but there were very few people who cared much about its identity or knew its identity. I wrote it down.
However, those who knew the identity of the flash recognized that the time had finally come and began to move quietly but quickly.
“Induce evacuation from outlying cities slowly but surely to prepared shelters.”
There was a backlash from the nobles to the king’s command, which occurred almost simultaneously across the world, regardless of whether it was the Eastern or Western continent. And nationwide evacuation began.
The Virgin Mary of the Sorbi Empire had a prophecy made to them many years ago.
The Virgin Mary, who brought God down to this earth, predicted that under God’s assurance there would be the greatest invasion by demons in history, and warned that this would be a final all-out war in which even demons would not leave behind.
Therefore, what is necessary is to minimize damage by evacuating ordinary citizens who cannot fight from the beginning as much as possible.
The source of the demons’ power is negative emotions such as the pain and anger of other living creatures.
Ordinary citizens who cannot help in the fight, rather than contributing to the fighting power, only supplement the power of the demons. Therefore, the evacuation of ordinary citizens was essential not only to prevent unnecessary casualties but also to weaken the power of the demons.
No, in the first place, even if it were soldiers or knights, unless they had reached superhuman level, it was correct to view them as being outside their power.
“What is the situation at the gate?”
“As promised, it is operating indefinitely without tolls.”
The kings, who were worried about what they would do if their decision was wrong, decided to give up their worries after seeing the Eurosang, which had indeed made gate passage free and unlimited.
Giving up the huge profits from operating the gate and having to deal with the enormous costs of maintaining the gate, it was not something to joke about.
Taking on this risk on the other side meant that there was a good reason to do this.
“Hurry up the evacuation of refugees through the gate as promised! One o’clock is urgent!”
* * * * * * * *
「Aaagh!」
“What a monster!”
The demons gritted their teeth as they looked at that huge giant.
Even if you let your guard down just a little bit, dozens or hundreds of demons were dying.
Of course, that huge giant also suffered quite a few scars, but none of them were so fatal to the giant.
Rather, even at this moment, the demons missed the existence of the giant even if they were just a little distracted.
It was a shame because so many demons were on high alert and wary of the giant. Even at this very moment, the gap between observation and reality was constantly occurring, and the probability of existence was constantly changing.
The modulation of space-time coordinates was nothing more than a charm.
An unreasonable battle in which the demons have to pay for that single mistake with the lives of dozens or hundreds of their compatriots the moment they fail to observe even for a moment.
If there was one more mistake here, a catastrophe would occur where the spaceport would blow away.
Still, it was better now than when I first fought the giant.
Many spaceports were destroyed and thanks to the abundance of demonic energy scattered in the air, they were able to fight without sparing their demonic energy, but on the other hand, the fact that so many ports were destroyed so that this much demonic energy was scattered in this empty space made the demons shiver. This made it cool.
“Oh! No, I missed it!!」
“Rain, damn it! Where are you! Where on earth this time?!”
The demons were already starting to tremble in fear as to where and how the giant who had disappeared through the gaps in space and time would come out this time.
Quagga River -!!
Kugu Palace…
「!!」
“Three ports at the same time!?”
“Don’t miss it! You can’t miss it! If you miss it again, it’s really over!”
They barely succeeded in observing the giant, and once again disrupted the probability of existence and barely managed to hold on to the disappearing presence of the giant.
If you miss something during observation, it’s not just something you can’t see.
The existence of a giant was a nightmare itself as it was possible to attack a giant not only by matching the exact time and space coordinates where the giant’s entity would exist, but also the probability coordinates.
“Ah, no matter how suddenly the demon world was destroyed and more than half of the main force was destroyed, I still can’t believe I can fight the entire demon race by myself!”
“Uh? Wow… 」
「!!… 」
At the moment of another near miss, dozens of demons disappeared without even being able to scream properly, and the demons took advantage of that opportunity to cling tenaciously to the giant’s body.
I tried to hit the giant by going as far as self-destructing, thinking that if I was going to die anyway, I would inflict a little more damage, but I was really like, ‘Huh?’ In the meantime, there were many demons who were swept away by the movement of giants falling through the gaps in the dimension and became dimension lost.
An unknown space where the laws of reality do not apply.
The demons felt like their brains were on fire at the sight of that monstrous giant moving in and out of such a place at will.
Just by not missing the presence of the giant, they were being overworked beyond their limits, so they often missed the presence of the giant, and the giant, who had become a completely free being for a moment, broke the ports one by one.
No. Often, they destroyed two or even three ports and made the demons their flagships.
It’s already been more than two months since the battle between demons and giants took place.
The end of the demons was all miserable.
Disappeared without a trace due to the giant’s attack. You may become a dimension lost child, caught up in the giant’s movements of time, space, and probability.
Or demons who managed to maintain their lives as long as possible by maximizing the use of demon energy, but eventually died because they could not withstand the limitations of outer space.
The reason so many demons were still attacking the giants was because new ports were continuously being destroyed at this very moment, and new demons were being thrown defenseless into space.
Now the number of ports remaining is only twelve.
The demons felt devastated as hundreds or thousands of ports were destroyed and only this was left.
However, the damage to the giant was also very great.
Now, I couldn’t cross the dimensional gap as easily as before, and one of my arms was broken and one of my legs seemed to be damaged somewhere, and I couldn’t move it properly.
The armor was also in tatters, no longer providing the initial defensive power, and every time it was attacked, it was breaking here and there and falling off into pieces.
How much time has passed?
The demons gritted their teeth as they finally saw the Earth in the distance.
At this distance, it was long enough to reach the Earth without a port.
Will we continue to deal with this giant like this?
Or will be just close our eyes and give up the remaining ports and have all the demons disperse and head to Earth?
“It is dangerous to look down on Middle-earth”
“What do you mean?”
“I guess there will no longer be a being like that giant, but if a monster like that appears, it wouldn’t be surprising if there was more to it. What if unexpected beings appear when we arrive in Middle-earth, wasting magic energy without a port?”
Above all, in order to destroy the port, the current giant could barely destroy the port by attacking with 2 or 3 strikes in succession, rather than destroying the port with a single hit like before.
Even if that’s not the case, if they leave the giants, who have almost reached their limit, to recover, will they be able to survive even after taking over the Earth?
「… 」
“No matter how unfavorable outer space is to us, we must end here.”
As the giant’s power faded, and the Earth got closer, the demons, who had been gradually loosening up, tightened their tension again.
Quagang -! Gig. Giggeek!!
The giant’s fist pierced the port, reducing the number of ports by one more.
However, at the same time, the giant’s remaining arm was also twisted and sparks flew, and the demons who saw it cheered.
Now, if we somehow break just one more leg, that giant will be useless.
The demons hurriedly launched an all-out offensive before the giant crossed over the gap in the Dachi dimension.
Pop! Pubbung!
That… Right…
The demons cheered as they finally saw the monstrous giant, who seemed to have no way to deal with it, finally collapse and be destroyed.
It’s finally over! At that moment when I thought that, a woman with light blue hair jumped out from inside the giant and instantly blew off the heads of dozens of demons, running across the surface of the port that had been destroyed by the giant’s punch, a huge blue energy at her fingertips. He raised the blade and started splitting the port.
「!?」
“Okay, sleep?!”
Before we knew it, the port, which had been broken into pieces, lost its balance and its orbit began to deviate significantly.
The angle was so exquisite that it flew towards the two Ports, which were still intact, and collided with the huge fragments of the Ports. The orbits of the two Ports began to deteriorate significantly again, and they began to quickly consume a large amount of magical energy and readjust their orbits.
“Wow!”
「Kwaaak!」
「!… 」
Meanwhile, her demons lined up again and began to lose her life, with her head being taken off and her waist cut into pieces. The woman who came out of the giant was so free that the limitations of outer space seemed to her to be a fish in water. It swam smoothly and slaughtered her demons.
Only a few demons died at once, and the speed at which they died was as fast as the speed at which they were attacked by a giant.
“W-what! What about that bitch!? Wow!」
With bright blue eyes shining, Yuria tore off one of her demons again, lifted it up, and went straight toward her next demons.
There are 11 ports remaining.
Two of them were slightly damaged and nine were intact.
She expended quite a bit of power while controlling Talos, but she still thought that she could do anything.
More than anything else, the arrangements she left behind were finally going to shine.
Yuria, who was slaughtering her demons without stopping, looked for a moment and rushed towards one of her ports.
As a result, the eyes of the demons focused on themselves rather than the Earth, and they rushed to stop him, but Yuria cut down all the demons and landed on the port body, raised the Psi blade long, drove it into the outer wall of the port, and ran straight and fast. I went out.
Quagagagagagagagaga!!
“Mind! Stop it!! Stop it!!”
“It’s breaking into pieces! I’m going to break into pieces again!!”
The demons’ voices were loud, but it was actually a good sign.
This means that there is no solution for the demons.
Even though the port was cut off, it still maintained its original shape.
Since only the waist of the long port was cut off, it lost its function as a spaceport, but it still functioned as a huge meteorite that would be shot toward Earth.
Okay. It would have happened that way if I hadn’t prepared more.
Yuria’s expression was filled with fear, but despite this, she smiled as she looked at the demons that were like fire moths running towards her.
“Welcome to the Absolute Defense Zone, gentlemen of the demon race.”
「What, what?」
“Absoluteness… Defense zone?”
When Yuria, who had been silently slaughtering her demons and breaking her port, opened her mouth for the first time in a long time, her demons flinched.
Well, what is it? What on earth is going on…
It was that moment.
Numerous bundles of light began to fly from far away on Earth.
Pop! Pubung!
「Kwaaak!」
「What?」
And blacker than outer space.
Something black that could swallow even a beam of light penetrated one of the ports at once, and surprisingly, the port cracked as if something huge had grabbed it! Then it collapsed inward and was completely shattered into pieces.
Hundreds of orbital defense satellites and the space base’s main gun, the supergravity cannon, finally caught the demons within range and began their attack.
However, Yuria’s leisure in the meantime was truly bluff.
Now, Yuria’s remaining strength would only be exhausted if one more of her ports were destroyed.
