Chapter 414 – Season 2) 7. The Last Moment (2)
Bang!!
“What the hell is going on?”
The whole world started going crazy.
A strange pseudo-cult that did not pose much of a threat suddenly became active and began disrupting the evacuation of citizens.
Ironically, what the cult used were the flashing lights seen in the night sky.
What was barely visible in the night sky a few months ago has now become somewhat visible in broad daylight as long as the sky is clear.
This is the light that appears when the Virgin Mary of the Church of Thebenoa burns herself to stop the demons from advancing, and kings and religious denominations around the world began to use this flame as a signal to evacuate their citizens.
In case the citizens found out about the demon invasion first, the world would fall into great chaos, so the details were kept hidden until now, and the evacuation of the citizens was also carried out slowly, but as quickly as possible.
At first glance, it seems that rushing and proceeding as quickly as possible will result in the quickest finish, but with the knowledge gained from the Virgin Mary, everyone has come to know that this is not the case.
Even if that wasn’t the case, I knew from experience that even leaders with a certain degree of intelligence were not necessarily like that.
They knew very well that even if they were in a hurry, if they lost order, something worse would happen than if they had done it leisurely.
They have already seen several similar cases.
For example, when retreating from a war, it feels like you can run away faster if you run away without order, but in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.
The army, which had lost order, was in a hurry, unable to figure out where to escape, and became entangled with each other, unable to escape properly and being annihilated.
The same goes for evacuation.
Just like retreating during a war, if you don’t know where you need to go and proceed in an orderly manner, you will end up tangled and crowded, which will only slow you down but not speed up.
Where to use a portal, use a portal. Where roads are used, roads are used.
Entering the shelters located deep underground in the mountains around the world is also difficult for refugees to properly enter if the space inside is not properly organized and pushed in. Each shelter also has a maximum capacity, so it is planned to accommodate more people. I had to send it.
Therefore, information was unintentionally controlled, and while the evacuation was taking place at a speed within the expected range, although the mind was in a hurry, that unidentified religious sect began to incite people.
The flash in the sky is a revelation from their god.
The flight to save them, prevent the recovery of the demons, and win the final war against the demons is an evil act that goes against God’s will.
Now that a global solidarity has been established that goes beyond countries and continents under the dragons’ guarantee, it soon becomes clear that the methods used by these denominations are all different in the information exchanged.
Their incitement was a false instigation that would soon be revealed as false information as time passed, but unfortunately, it was already too late once the instigation was proven to be false.
Once the demons arrived and brought blood, pain, and despair to this land, there would be no way to stop the demons’ advance.
“We must destroy all those false religious denominations!”
-No problem! If we come and forcefully suppress them now, it will only give strength to their claims.
-King Bon also thinks the same. However, even if I try to refute their sophistry, time is urgent right now. There’s less than a month left until the deadline.
-It’s difficult. But what on earth are those denominations? How on earth do you use divine power? Doesn’t each denomination know anything?
The kings of the world were discussing through a specially made crystal ball, and their expressions were all dark.
There were several wizards next to them, and they took turns maintaining the magic of the crystal ball.
The distance between each other is long, and since many people are talking at once rather than one-on-one, the consumption of magical power is high, so it is difficult for one wizard to maintain it for a long time.
Of course, this is not the case for all countries, and the Sorbi Empire maintained communication without a wizard by having several powerful magic stones.
-I will ask God directly.
-Oh.
-I see. God has clearly descended directly on the Sorbi Empire…
Although the limitations are very great because it is a human body, it will definitely be much better than humans putting their heads together and trying to figure it out.
-I’ll be back soon since you’re nearby.
Although the Emperor of Sorbi disappeared from the image of the crystal sphere, the image itself continued to be maintained.
Numerous kings and emperors. And while the Popes were just waiting with bated breath, Emperor Sorbi returned shortly afterward.
It was faster than expected.
-What did Thebenoa say?
-…
The Emperor of Sorby was silent for a moment and then sighed deeply in the dark daylight.
-God has commanded me to do something I cannot do.
-What is it? Did you really tell them to annihilate all the people who couldn’t evacuate before the demons arrived?
-If you are fortunate among misfortunes, it is not.
-Then what? In any case, we don’t need to do anything before the demons harvest pain and negative emotions from this land.
The Emperor of Sorbi was silent for a long time and then opened his mouth.
-God commanded to send up the shadow of her Virgin Mary, who had already made so great a sacrifice, and her husband, whom she valued more than her own life.
-Then isn’t that okay?
-Have you forgotten what sacrifices the Virgin Mary is making for humanity? In the dark space outside the cold, dark world with no air to breathe, Her Virgin Mary has been struggling against her demons for months, unable to eat, drink, or sleep! Even though her Holy Mother sacrifices her own life to stop the invasion of her demons, she is telling me to sacrifice what is most precious to her!
From Sorbi’s perspective, he originally didn’t even want to send Yuria.
Isn’t she a holy saint who brought the god of the empire down to this land?
However, Yuria’s departure was a noble sacrifice made by Yuria herself, not Sorbi’s, and Sorbi had no power to stop it.
Most of the offensives to stop the demons were taking place beyond the sky, beyond the reach of humanity. In the subsequent war with the demons, most of the initial battles would be fought not by humans but by a few superhumans, including dragons.
From the Sorbi Empire’s point of view, it was just a waste of time.
It was so vain that the technology that had been built up over centuries was only for the purpose of ‘finishing off’ the demons who had lost all their strength.
No matter how weak a demon is, a demon is still a demon.
All kinds of magic and other mysteries did not work on demons.
Of course, magic could work on dragons and demons, but even this was not very effective.
It was said that if the demons had not arrived with their strength completely depleted in a dark space where creatures beyond the sky could not survive, they would not be able to deal with them properly.
Afterward, the demons lost even more strength in the battle with dragons and superhumans.
It was a time when even dragons and superhumans were consumed as much as they could, leading to a stalemate with demons.
That was the time for the Sorbi Empire to raise its claws, which had been honed for hundreds or thousands of years.

Piik -!!
The suit split lengthwise and a little red blood burst out.
But that too only for a short time. The gap between the suits was different in color from the suit, but something similar to gel leaked out and immediately filled the gap.
“What on earth is that thin armor!?”
The clothes that looked like they were wearing something thin like leather were not clothes, but armor.
Even though it had a decent amount of power, it didn’t even have a flaw, and even attacks made with fairly strong magic energy couldn’t cause that much damage, even if it damaged the armor to some extent.
In the beginning, let alone the attack reaching at all, it was not even possible to properly detect it, and if you missed the observation even for a moment, many of your compatriots’ heads were blown off. Now, the attack is at least effective, but the battle is still unprofitable.
The woman’s eyes, with her blue hair and eyes shining menacingly, were still targeting her people’s lives. Although she was no longer destroying the port herself, her demons could feel it.
Even at this moment, the woman’s eyes are looking at the ports.
The reason she was quiet now was just because she was tired. If she was left alone, there was no telling when she would wake up and break the pot again.
Even if that’s not the case, most of the demons that are out in outer space right now are the wrong ones to arrive at Earth alive.
It may have a different meaning than the woman in front of us, but it was the same as risking our lives.
Hurt again, Yuria huffed and gritted her teeth, swallowing her moans.
She wasn’t seriously injured, but her suit was damaged again.
In terms of nutrients, she did receive supplies while she was aboard the tactical aircraft Leme Geton.
What I really lack is rest.
Fatigue from a very long battle was creating a situation where psychic energy was not recovered as much as expected.
Somehow, I was saving up psychic energy little by little, but it seemed impossible to accumulate enough energy to destroy two ports.
In this situation, recovery would be even lower, and it didn’t seem to have much meaning.
What should I do?
Should we somehow take more time like this?
Or should we destroy at least one more port as early as possible?
Right now, there is still room to escape.
It’s not too late to lose some weight.
I’ve done enough with this. Well, there’s no need for me to sacrifice, right?
This thought kept coming into my mind.
But if it’s just one port, maybe the Earth can overcome it, but what if it’s two?
The Earth will definitely be destroyed.
In the end, if both could not be completely destroyed, it was beneficial to the Earth to destroy one sooner.
But Yuria couldn’t bear to do that.
As the duration gradually grew longer, the supergravity cannons flew in one by one, destroying the ports one by one, and before we knew it, there were only three ports left.
At that point, the space base delivered bad news to Yuria.
The news was that the space base’s durability had reached its limit and the port could no longer be aimed.
I can still shoot one more shot, but I have reached the limit of my temporary compensation, so aiming is impossible. And if one last shot was fired here, the space base would completely collapse.
In that case, the orbital defense satellites currently attacking the demons would also collapse.
Yuria thought about those words for a moment and then quickly turned towards her space base.
When Yuria arrived at her space base from the battlefield where her life and death changed in an instant, she felt a sense of doubt as to what she was doing.
And the space base that Yuria saw was truly a miserable piece of tattered rags.
It was surprising that the space base, which had become such a mess and was still functioning despite being damaged to this extent, was not collapsing right now.
Is death scary now?
Yuria felt as if her actions were trying to escape from her death.
It’s natural to try to survive if you can, but how can this be so ugly if you’ve already prepared for her death?
While she was on the verge of tears, Yuria unconsciously pulled the water droplets that were floating around among her miscellaneous items, quenched her throat, and made her way towards where her supergravity cannon was located.
If she can’t aim, all she has to do is aim for her.
Okay. After doing this, let’s go die.
The one remaining port will work somehow.
Looking towards the supergravity cannon, Yuri was amazed at the state of the base where the supergravity cannon could fire, even though it was so stupid, as she saw the base crackling with its aiming ability no longer as expected.
However, Yuria put off her admiration and used her supernatural powers to gradually tilt her super gravity gun.
-Manual aiming completed. The final launch of the supergravity cannon. Be careful of strong gravitational fluctuations.
The powerful output and gravity of the black hole engine were concentrated and converged on the supergravity cannon, and soon it turned into a black stem and was fired toward the demon’s port.
Decorating!! Quagang! Pubububung!!
With the last shot, the supergravity cannon was completely shattered, crumpled, torn apart, and blown apart.
The base was also completely destroyed, and the beams of light from the defense satellites that had continued steadily stopped at some point, and Yuria, who saw that, closed her eyes for a moment in bitterness.
Yuria also did not look healthy.
If the suit had been intact, she would have survived without much trouble, but the temporarily repaired parts of the tattered suit burst, and Yuria’s wounds also burst open again, causing a large amount of bleeding, causing Yuria to become slightly disoriented.
Yet. Not yet.
There’s still one more thing to break…
As Yuria disappeared into space towards her demons again to burn her last life, something powerfully shot up from her.
It was Talos with Loa and Tamamo on board.
