chapter 11

8



Sirone's party passed through the battlefield where bullets rained down on them and headed to the command headquarters barracks where the battalion commander was located.

Even if it was the command center, it was right in front of the battlefield, so I couldn't understand the words without shouting.



It was only after entering the barracks that the noise subsided to some extent.

The company commander, who had already finished his report, was resting in the corner, and Kanya was accompanying him for a smooth conversation from Sirone's side.

The battalion commander did not take his eyes off the strategic map even after Sirone and his party entered.



"I heard about it."

He was a cold-looking man with gray hair brushed back, and a thick mustache that looked stubborn.

"Are you a Nephilim?"

Sirone did not deny it.

Regardless of the fact, it seemed that this would be more effective to use the rebels.

The battalion commander seemed uninterested and moved on to the next question.



"I will ask straight forward. Why did you come back?"

Sirone did not understand the question.

"You are like a myth to the rebels. But myths are the most beautiful when they are myths. Some members of the crew consider you an irresponsible fugitive. Why did you, who had already left the battlefield, come here again?"



Sirone had a hunch that one of the people who thought he was a fugitive was the battalion commander.

"There is no great reason. As was the case before, as a single mage, I will fight with all my convictions."

"Believe… … ."



The battalion commander walked through the window tent and surveyed the battlefield.

"The light you cast on District 73 is now the sun of the 70,000 rebels. I don't want to put out that light. If you came only because of your beliefs, I'd like to pretend that we never met."

Sirone realized that the battalion commander would not budge.



What was contained in his cold eyes was not fighting spirit, but only the evil sense of mission that he had chosen the wrong path from the beginning.

"Even if it is a small conviction, the purpose may be the same. I'd like to speak directly with the Commander. Please let me go to the rebel headquarters."

"refuse."

There was an unconcealable hostility in the battalion commander's eyes.

"Okay, let me be honest. The war has already been lost. No, it came to the brink of defeat. If it weren't for the situation where Heaven's offensive suddenly stopped, the war would have already ended. It was such an overwhelming gap. Countless crew members lost their lives. The card left to us is negotiations with Heaven. If you're going to start and put out the fire again, the light in Area 73 will only get in the way."

"But after all, the war is going on. And Heaven is currently not moving. This could be an opportunity. If you can figure out exactly what the situation is, you have a good chance."



"Hey, the light of Area 73."

The battalion commander pressed his face.

"Don't judge the Mecca with a Norse mindset. It was a rebellion started by the Norse from the beginning. But now? It is only us Mecha people who die. Why did Heaven stop fighting? Who can figure it out?"



"I can figure it out."

The battalion commander kept his mouth shut. My teeth gnashed in my closed mouth.

"Listen up, sweetheart. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? no, i don't know the truth But I already know that you intend to use us no matter what. People call you Shinhwa, but to me you're just a seed of disaster. At most, a myth without the ability to defeat a fairy manager. Do you know how fiercely we fought while you were out? On the subject of running away at the most intense time, what and how are you going to change now?"



"I will meet Ikael."

"pooh… … ."

Wind leaked out of the battalion commander's mouth.



"Puhahahaha! Fuhahahaha!"

It was really embarrassing.

Archangel Ichael. Meet the person who is located at the top of the heavenly law?

If it had been that easy, hundreds of thousands of his subjects would not have died.

"Now I know for sure. you are not a myth He is a slayer who seduces countless subjects with his three tongues and drives them to death. Company commander! Arrest this guy! Never tell the soldiers."

Just as the company commander had no choice but to follow orders, the tent in the barracks was pulled down and an adjutant rushed in.



"Captain! This is an emergency. The giants are breaking through the last line of defense."

"what? why the hell What stupid bastard lured the giant here? Why?"

"It is not confirmed. Since the Kuroi 3 team lost contact, the defense line has been cut off… … ."

The battalion commander hit the tactics table.

"Damn it. Why?"

It is rare for a variable to occur in a giant elimination operation. This is because the reactions of giants without identity are all the same.



But now the last line of deterrence has been breached.

He doesn't know where the law came from, but he could only think of one thing as he lived today, which was no different from yesterday.

The battalion commander grabbed Sirone by the collar.



"Did you see it? After all, you are the cause of everything. You destroyed Kuroi, leaving a tactical hole in the end. Now I plan to annihilate even our battalion!"

Kanya shouted with readiness to die.

"Commander! That's a guess! Sirone… … !"

"shut up! Does a pilot who couldn't even protect his equipment have anything to say in this situation?"

the adjutant pressed.

"Captain! Please give me instructions! If we leave it as it is, we won't be able to survive for even 30 minutes and will be annihilated!"



The battalion commander mounted a piper hanging on the wall. After putting the Ark in his pocket, he took Cigna and Xd, and as he left the barracks, he glared at Sirone.

"Get out of here quickly. Because I don't want to see you."

Kanya shouted.



"Captain! They will also help with power!"

"Did you not hear me? Sirone is the main culprit who changed the giant's law! Our job now is to fight the enemy, not hide behind those fugitives!"

When the battalion commander left, Kanya had no choice but to follow.

As a soldier, she couldn't just watch her comrades die.

"Sirone, I'm sorry."

As she left the barracks, she smiled sadly.

"But it was nice to meet you."

She didn't know that it was her own goodbye.

But still, Sirone had not let go of the string of hope.

'A change of law. They said that the law could be changed by the expression of the will. maybe really… … .'



Gangnan said.

"The situation is worse than expected. Can you really move the rebels like this?"

Sein said.

"There are still many cards to present. Same with Tagis. The problem is command. When I hear about the military community, it seems that the location is being covered up, but if that's the case, there's a high chance that you won't get information from the mainland. I have to do something now."

Zulu said.

"I think the change in the Law of the Giants is important. I don't understand why giants, whose only law is to go to Jotunheim, are taking collective action. Can anyone provide an answer to this?"



There was no one.

In Heaven, where the Akashic Records materialize and exist, the law is an artificial system, but in the world where Sirone and the others live, it is simply the principle of the universe.

Just as the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a storm, it was unreasonable to question where the law was changed, since all minor variables are involved.

Gaold suggested his own method.

"First, wipe out all the giants. If you save my life, won't you let me meet the commander or whatever?"

Sirone raised her hand.

"Leave that to me."

"no. It's too dangerous. You have a special mission. Do not think that your life is entirely yours."

"no. I guess it's a matter of the law."

Sein asked.

"Do you have any guesses?"

"yes. But please think of it as an experiment rather than a guess. There are things I must check in heaven."



* * *

"All attack! Never back down!"

The seven giants grabbed one Kuroi and threw it on the ground, then started stepping on it with small steps.



The c*ckpit is destroyed, and the terrified pilot screams. But in the end, even that cut off after a second.

"Shit! Aaaaaaa!"

The battalion commander who arrived late shot the arc in succession. It was a barrage without aiming or anything.

Still, the giant was right.

Even so, the fact that he was unmoved made the battalion commander miserable.

"Damn it! damn it!"

From the beginning, it was not something that humans could handle.

What is the sake of anecdote? What does it mean to have a fixed lifespan?

Because of the sin against God, man lost the way to eternal life. And now the species was facing extinction.

"Aaaaaaa!"

When the battalion commander slammed the giant's leg down with the cigna, the giant slowly turned his head, feeling the pain.

The moment I saw the dilated pupil, I got goosebumps.

"Heresy… … Punish it."

My legs trembled and I couldn't stand the moaning that leaked through my teeth.

"Huh. Ughhhh."

As the giant approached, the battalion commander's face turned into a tearful look.

He had seen countless deaths, but his own death was something new that could not be compared to anything else.

"Heresy… … Punish it."

"Oh, no. I am heresy… … ."

As the giant's fist slammed down, the battalion commander let out an inaudible scream and closed his eyes tightly.

kurrrrr… … .

When I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of scratching my neck in a very low voice, a beast I had never seen before stood like a black barrier.

It had silky, black-colored fur, a slim body like a leopard, six legs, a flat face, and protruding canine teeth over a meter long. There were cracks in the ground because of curling up the claws while receiving the giant's fist.

"What, what is this?"

"What is it? Tier 3 monster cougar."

Before I knew it, Gaold and the others had arrived.

Zulu took the lead and flicked a finger, and the cougar said, "Gyareung?" I turned around and made a cute noise that didn't suit his size.



"Go and play."

Aaaaaaang!

As the cougar kicked off the ground and took flight, the field of view opened wide as if a black curtain had been lifted.

Every time the beast's claws swung, the giant's body was cut off.

In terms of athletic ability alone, it was the strength of the Cougar, which is considered the strongest in Tier 3.

The battalion commander, who had been looking at the battlefield as if possessed, slowly turned his head.

"Who are you?"

Gaold pursed his lips and said.

"It is human. Same as you."

* * *

"Lena! Lena!"

"sister!"

Kanya hugged Lena, who was fighting among the giants, and threw herself.

The sole of the giant's foot slammed down on the spot where the two were standing, and the body trembled as if it had landed on a rubber sheet.

Lena was terrified by the law, which she had never experienced before. Then, seeing that her kanya was her bare body, he groped her.

"sister! Are you hurt anywhere? What about Kuroi?"

Tears welled up in Kanya before she could even speak.

poor little sister She was born into this world and never did anything good, and it was sad that she had to leave like this.

Lena smiled as if she had sensed something.

"Sister, I am fine."

Kanya rubbed her cheek against Lena's cheek.

She's a smart little sister, so there's no way she wouldn't know. Because there were already corpses of comrades everywhere.

The last thing to say has already been decided.

I wanted to say these words before I died, because I was the sister I had been waiting for just as much as she was.

"Lena, Sirone… … ."

"Sirone brother?"

As Lena looked up at the sky and said, Kanya's eyes shook in shock as she raised her head after her sister.

Sirone spread her golden wings and was flying in the sky.

'Is this a war in heaven?'

The view of the battlefield from the sky was devastating.

Giants slaughtering humans seemed no different from humans slaughtering ants.

'But I can finish it. If this works… … .'

Sirone cast Shining Impact. The brightness equal to sunlight blinded everyone.

It was a dark time, so the effect was even greater.

"Gaaaaa!"

"shit! What is it all of a sudden!"

After a while, people regained their sight.

The fear of being blind even to the giant was considerable, so he suddenly turned more frenzied and started screaming.

At that moment, something flashed in the sky, and colorful lights spread across the night sky.

Giants and humans alike raised their heads as rainbow-colored stains fluttered across the plain as the darkness approached.

"I-that… … ."

Sirone, who completed a huge ataraxia above her head, was looking down at everyone with her wings flapping.

The Meccans were stunned.

Now, Sirone's appearance was exactly the same as the existence that the subjects feared.

"Ughhhh. uhhhhh."

Hundreds of giants shook the ground, bent their knees, opened their mouths like idiots, and started crying.

Giants also exist in the law.

Ikael's magic circle had a strong presence in its instincts even when it lost its identity.

"The law… … Coordinator… … ."

As if they thought kneeling was not enough, the giants lowered their bodies with their foreheads on the ground.

The human figure was finally revealed.

However, they also looked back at each other for a moment, then raised their eyes to the sky again.

"The Nephilim… … ."

A word I had forgotten in my head sprang out of the mouths of heretics.

"Sister, Sirone's brother is here."

In Kanya's arms, Lena burst into tears.

Even if someone cursed at her for being a fugitive, even if she regretted being deceived by him and disobeying God, she never doubted Sirone, and this was a miracle for her.

"Yes, Lena. Sirone… … He must have really been a descendant of an angel."

Sirone returned with golden wings that were more beautiful than those of angels, and a colorful halo, the symbol of an archangel, floated above her head.

From the light of Area 73, to be the light of Heaven.

"Nephilim. Nephilim."

"O adjuster of the law… … ."

Everyone was kneeling at Sirone's feet.

Heaven's sixth thousand jebul. world war.

There is an angel with a face as transparent and beautiful as light.



The pinnacle of intelligence born with a slender body of 2 meters and 30 centimeters and knowing all the principles of the world.

Among the numerous angels, there are only eight archangels, and Kariel, the angel of birth, boasts the most outstanding beauty among them.

But now his face was as drawn as that of a diseased human being.



His eyes were sunken and his expression was nervous.

The benevolent and clear facial lines overflowing with intelligence have often been distorted in recent years.

In fact, he was in a state as if he were sick.

If an angel's power comes from a clear concept, his current sharpness is only 10% of his usual sharpness.

All of this was the result of the labor he endured to bring one human.

"Kariel, are you really okay?"



Uriel, the angel of destruction, looked at Kariel, whose presence had faded, with concern.

Standing 3 meters tall, the tallest of the archangels, with a solid body and a breastplate thick enough to reach the tip of the chin, a golden halo was rotating as if angry.

"I can still hold on. have to endure Because this is just the beginning."



In human terms, the amount of fatigue Kariel felt was equivalent to not sleeping for 40 years.

If any creature was hit by this level of fatigue, all of its cells would have already dried up.

But his eyes were still burning with emotion.



Uriel turned his head to where Kariel was looking.

Beneath the galactic mirror that controls the operation of the world, a beautiful woman by human standards was sitting cross-legged.

Adrias Miro.



Could there be a more heinous notion of a heavenly being?

It is the last bastion of humanity that prevents even the incarnation of the Akashic Records, Ankera, from conquering the universe by setting up an impenetrable barrier.

However, even she was defeated by Kariel's persistence.

"You did it in the end."

Right before the rebels were annihilated, Anke Ra, who abruptly canceled the war, banned all investigations into humans.

All the angels obeyed the message, but only Kariel did not give up and steadily proceeded with the plan to destroy humans.



What he obtained in this way was the 'body' of the maze right in front of him.

"How did you do it? Didn't I tell you that the labyrinth's space-time is indestructible?"

A small smile appeared on Kariel's tired face.



"When I attacked the space-time of the labyrinth with a cloth bomb, Optrus passed through the rift. There was information about the labyrinth's time-space embedded in its electromagnetic patterns. I analyzed it."

"But the time-space of the labyrinth immediately healed. Couldn't you have broken through her dimensional barrier and brought her back?"

"The dimensional barrier is, in fact, insubstantial. The reason why the army of heaven cannot go to the country of the earth is because the protocol is different from this place. It is an independent world without even quantum entanglement."



Uriel did not try to understand.

Those born for destruction were not obligated to understand what was being destroyed.

"so?"



"I deciphered the protocol with the information I got from Optrus. Then, through quantum superposition, the labyrinth was transported to the Great World War."

"Hmm, so?"

Kariel realized that Uriel did not understand.

"Simply put, you put your hand in the barrel and pulled until you got the item you wanted. It is no exaggeration to say that the barrel is the size of the entire universe."

Uriel realized why Kariel was weak.

"So you searched the universe and kidnapped it."

"what… … That's right."

Kariel decided to just move on.

"Hmm."

Uriel looked at Miro's face, who was in a state of immersion.

Right before the final war broke out, he had the same youthful face as he had opened the dimensional wall against Heaven's army alone.

"The human spirit, in a sense, is formidable."



Currently, her mind, which forms the space-time of the labyrinth, is endlessly being sucked into the dimension of cowardice.

It was a mental state and concept that was incomprehensible to an angel who had everything perfect from birth.

"Hmph, that is the proof of an imperfect existence. Don't be sentimental about insignificant humans."



Uriel did not answer.

For him, it is enough to destroy the incomprehensible.

But will Kariel do the same?

Birth is a concept established under the premise that everything is understood.

The fact that Kariel, who handles the art of life, cannot understand humans is perhaps the biggest contradiction in this universe.

"Human beings are very strange creatures. Even now, isn't one human being blocking all of Heaven's power?"



Kariel's expression crumpled.

human. human.

I couldn't figure out why everyone, starting with Ankera, applied different standards only to humans.



"Nothing like that. I will destroy it."

Uriel turned around. He didn't want to offend the twin angels who were born on the same day with different concepts.

"Okay, what are we going to do now? Even if you kill the maze, the maze's space-time does not disappear. Why did you bring her while torturing her mind to the brink of extinction?"

"Hmph, of course it's to destroy the labyrinth's space-time. I'm going to pull the maze out of the fear dimension. If you kill him after coming to his senses, the space-time of the maze will disappear."

It was the right way, no, the only way.

"But we cannot understand human imperfection. I don't think there is anyone among the subjects who can understand Miro's spirit. Because the Nephilim disappeared after the erasure of the Guffin."

"It is not in heaven, but it is in the kingdom of earth."

Uriel tilted his head.

Of course, in the kingdom of the earth, there are those who spontaneously awaken as Nephilim.

However, since the space-time of the maze was blocking it, it was impossible to bring someone from there.



"Are you going to search the entire universe again? Then it may completely disappear."

"You don't have to. I don't even have the strength left."

Kariel flew up to the pillar-shaped central system and accessed the Akashic Records.

Yuriel, who flew after her, looked at the screen from behind Kariel.

"I was looking through the Akashic Records and found something interesting."

As Kariel stepped aside, a human's name appeared on the screen.

While reading the explanation below, Yuriel nodded.

"Certainly, interesting."

Coincidentally, he was the one who understood the human spirit the best.

No, it was right to see it changed to its current state because it understands the human mind the best.

"I will summon Lee to the Great World War."

When Kariel opened her hand, a celestial body flashed and a code of laws was born on the palm.

The law code containing the principles of the universe was a high-strength metal hard cover, and the pages made of light began to turn.

As the central computing system was fully operational, bluish electricity flowed along the floor like waves and gathered in the arched mechanism.

Uriel looked at that scene for a while, then turned his head back to the screen of the central processing unit.

'It's a grave robber… … .'

The name of someone who only existed as a concept was blinking.

Morrigan Arius

Rebel 1st Command.

Sirone's party received enthusiastic cheers from the rebels.



The heroic story of Sirone, who subjugated hundreds of giants with the power of an archangel, quickly spread through drones, and has already become a new myth of the rebels.

In the midst of the huge white noise, Sirone's face was saddened.

It was strange that the number 1 was attached to the headquarters, but the size of the rebel base, which was much larger than expected, dispelled any doubts.

Dozens of buildings presumed to be munitions warehouses surrounded the site, and a huge building over 30 meters in height stood tall in the forest.

'It's amazing power. If they move… … .'

Gaold thought differently.

'Not even the seeds will be eaten.'

Of course, the power of the headquarters was formidable.

However, there was no doubt in the words of the battalion commander that they were on the brink of annihilation.

It's not a matter of power asymmetry.

From the beginning, beings in heaven were something different from humans.

If thousands of ants bite humans, they will die, but just as humans would not be treated like that in the first place, so were the angels.

"uh? there is sirone Hey Sirone! It's me, me!"

A familiar face popped out of the middle of the procession.

It was Clove and Gadlock who guided Sirone and her friends to Nord's shelter a year ago in Heaven.

The memory of Clove's ignoring Amy still lingers, but it was nice to find a familiar face in a moment like this.

But Sirone couldn't bear to go there. It was because the huge crowd of people who had heard Clove's words were all about to jump out.

"Wow! It was real! The real Sirone is here!"

Clove and Gardlock were buried in the crowd and were not even visible.

It was a phenomenon that occurred because very few people outside of District 73 knew Sirone's face.

Sirone widened the distance with a cold expression.

It was a situation where people could get hurt if they got closer.

Watching Sirone walk away, Clove teared her hair and spat out words of lamentation.

"Oh, I never thought that kid would become such an important person. If she had known it would be like this, she would have gotten to know her in advance."

Gadlock thumped the disciple's head.

"Is that a problem now? It's a decision whether or not to be annihilated by the angels."

Clove said with a sad expression.

"But Master said so too, when Sirone comes, we will be treated well here too."

Gadlock was speechless.

sirone is back And that too at the perfect timing.

The suspension of Heaven's attack was certainly a boon to the rebels, but that alone could not bridge the gap between Mecca and the Norse, which had deepened as they lost a series of battles.

The headquarters, which failed to reach a consensus, was finally separated into the 1st and 2nd headquarters, and there was no battle, but the defeat was already deep.

At the point where everyone was waiting for self-destruction, the light of Area 73 began to shine on them again.

'Why now? Did he come back knowing?'

A series of events connected by an invisible link made it impossible to dismiss Sirone's return as a mere miracle.

"Hehe, it's so nice to walk with you like this."

Meanwhile, Lena, who was holding Sirone's arm, didn't leave her side for a moment as she went to the command center.

Then Fleur, who was watching the back of Sirone with her back stiff, clicked her tongue and said.

"What is that doing? Did you come to heaven to fall in love?"

Gaold didn't care.

"Hey, leave it alone. Something like that will help the parade."

A miracle called Sirone came to the rebels who were on the brink of annihilation, so it would have been okay to put in a little production.

However, Kanya was embarrassed by her sister's rudeness.

Unbearable, she approached Lena and whispered in her ear.

"What are you doing? come off quickly Don't you know what Sirone means to the rebels? What if people misunderstand?"

"What misunderstanding? Sirone oppa and we aren't even close. We met for the first time in a year, can't you even cross your arms?"

Lena turned to Sirone and said.

"Brother and sister, please have them cross their arms next to you."

Sirone couldn't find words to answer.

My heart is beating even now, but how could I go on the road with two women on my arms?

Kanya's face turned red like a blush.

"You, what do you mean by that? Why am I arm in arm with Sirone?"

"Oh, yes. My sister is too weak for this. We have to look like we're close with Sirone brother so we can work at headquarters. My sister's Kuroi was also damaged. I have to get a new Kuroi here to become a pilot again."

Kanya drank honey and became mute.

Although he is young, he thinks of his younger brother more carefully.

No, should I call it clever in this case?

Sirone reassured her.

"Canya, don't worry too much. Because I destroyed Kuroi. I'll be sure to tell you when I see the Commander."

Smiling at Sirone, Kanya opened her eyes again and looked back at Lena.

'Aww, that fox… … .'

Rena wrapped her arms around Sirone, whether or not she knew her sister's feelings, and only smiled happily.

When I entered the command center building and the iron door closed, the cheers outside were blocked as if I had woken up from a dream.

The lights on the ceiling of the corridor were kept to a minimum brightness, and soldiers stood guard at precise intervals along the way.



Armed with the 1st level of the Mecha combat system, they never looked back at Sirone's party. However, the intensity of his gaze was terrifying enough to pierce through a wall.

'They are all elite soldiers.'

The Mechas do not have superhuman bodies or magical abilities, but they have technical skills to compensate for both.



Since war is all about winning anyway, it was better not to think that their own power would be weak just because they were weak.

The colonel guided Sirone and the others to the underground bunker.

The bunker's security system was in no way inferior to the association's technology, and when the iron door was opened, numerous mechanical devices were operating.

While the technicians were busy moving their hands while watching the monitors, a man in a commander's cape watched their work with his hands behind his back.

"Commander, Sirone has been brought to you."

At the colonel's words, the commander turned around.



It was a man in his late 20s with a long scar running down the side of his ear from his temple.

Her thin lips were stubbornly closed, and the eyes behind her glasses showed coolness and passion.

Crude, the first commander of the rebels.



As Kanya had told me, he was a young man.

Age doesn't matter much in a war, especially if it's a battle with a lot of defeat.

What the soldiers wanted was a commander who had the courage to rush towards death first and the tactical skills to save as many people as possible.



Crude was a man who met exactly that condition.

He is a genius pilot who knows everything about the maintenance, driving, and operation of the Titan belonging to the 3rd level mecha combat system, and a mecha war hero with a history of defeating Mara.

"Are you Sirone?"



Crud held out his hand to Sirone.

"nice to meet. This is Krude, the first commander of the rebels."

"This is Sirone."

Crude looked carefully at Sirone and the others.

Having numerous battle experiences, he recognized the strength of the party at a glance, but his dignified eyes did not waver.

But when I saw Fleur, my eyes lingered for a moment, going back to being a twenty-eight-year-old engineer who had struggled with machines all his life.



A slim, straight-style woman with blue hair braided down to her waist.

What I particularly liked was her eyes. Among her group, she was the only one with full strength.

Like a heroine entering the battlefield for the first time.



But that was it.

Crude also knew the anecdote of Sirone, the light of District 73, but the war he actually experienced was too realistic to rely on myths.

"Go to a quiet place."



Crude guided everyone to the strategy meeting room deep inside the bunker.

Of course, tea was not served, and as soon as we sat down, we got down to business.

"I heard you wanted to meet me?"



Sein sat down at the negotiating table as the representative.

"We will attack Heaven. We ask for the cooperation of the rebel command."

"refuse."

Crude's answer was immediate.

"I heard that there was a conflict with the battalion commander. Of course, a broken-hearted soldier is useless on our side, but if you think about it coolly, there is no chance of going to war right away. It is nothing more than a delusion that you can attack heaven for subduing a giant who has lost his identity."

Sein meekly nodded.



I was worried when I saw the battalion commander soaked in defeat, but the commander was different.

"That means we haven't given up on the war."

"There is always room for compromise, whether it be a truce or not. Because I can't kill those who believe in me and follow me. But I don't think Heaven will see us as an object of compromise. If you have to fight anyway, you have to win to survive."

"What if we had a strategy to win?"

"Heh, bullshit."

Hundreds of thousands of rebels, including the existing cults and subjects from Heaven, fought against Heaven, but only a handful of cases were recorded with remarkable achievements.



It is the union of Nor and Mecca that they have not been able to capture even the triangular Mara, let alone a normal angel. What could be done with just 10 humans added?

"I will paralyze the Aegis system with the Targis. Then you can infiltrate heaven and wage guerrilla warfare."

Aegis, the core air defense system of Heaven, is an impregnable shield capable of attacking 7,000 targets simultaneously by setting the order of interception through two hundred search methods.



If they were able to break through and enter without blood, the rebels would have a glimmer of hope.

"Hehehehe."

Crude covered her face and let out her lungs.

"I don't know where you heard the word Tagis, but it is one of the technologies that have already been lost in Mecca."

Crude lowered his hand and was no longer smiling.

"Think common sense. The angels can't just leave the technology that paralyzes Heaven's interception system. We need access to the Akashic Records to bring the technology back to life. But in order to do that, we have to break through the Aegis system first. Do you understand now? The order has been changed, you idiot."



Sain leaned back on the chair back and crossed his legs.

"if… … What if I said I had that skill?"

"what?"



Crude's face went blank.

"What nonsense is that?"

"There is no law that technology that is lost in heaven is not the same in the land kingdom. For 20 years, I wandered the world researching everything about ancient weapons. And now, I have blueprints for the perfectly restored Targis in my head. How is it, is your head spinning now?"

Crude's eyes started to get confused.

"If it's false… … ."

"We can restore it right now. There is no oblivion in my head. You're also an engineer anyway, so you'll be able to understand it enough by looking at the blueprints."

'I see. So on the black line… … .'

Sirone looked at Sein differently.

Ancient weapons are top secret regardless of the kingdom.

The act of accessing information alone was a dangerous thing that would be punished by death, only to save the labyrinth.



"Hmm… … ."

Crud was also confused now.

who the heck are these? Why do you want to do something that even hundreds of thousands of rebels couldn't do?

'No, what's important is whether or not it's successful.'

Even if you paralyze Aegis and enter heaven, angels and maras, giants and fairies are waiting for you.

Defeating them and infiltrating Arabot, where Ankera is located, was the equivalent of carrying gunpowder and jumping into the fire.



'You can jump in though. There's even a 1 percent chance.'

is this a miracle? Or is it the last struggle of the brightest burning candle right before it goes out?

"Three… … There are conditions."

There were more conditions than expected, but Sein rather felt trust. This is because it is proof that Crude is dealing with the current plan realistically.

"Listen first."

Crud said while pointing his finger.

"First, use the light of Area 73, Sirone, to appease the 2nd HQ. Even if you infiltrate Heaven, if Mecca and Norr don't unite, you'll hit a rock with an egg anyway."

"I guess so. next?"

"Second, even if there are blueprints, large Targis that affect the whole of Heaven cannot be built here. We need to rent a factory on the mainland, so get their permission and come."

Sein recalled the memory of the first time he met the rebels.

"Is it a military community?"

"okay. To be precise, it is a defense industry called 'Night Maeng'. They are a new power that has grown rapidly by taking advantage of the civil war in Heaven, and they have monopolized weapon production by taking over all the military complexes. They are detestable to the rebels. However, without borrowing their strength, an all-out war with Heaven is impossible."



"good. What is the final condition?"

Crud was initially hesitant to make the offer.

I don't know how great Sirone and the others were, but it wasn't something a single team could do.



"You'll probably need a black elixir to make the tagis."

"Black Elixir?"

"Most lifeforms in Heaven receive the life stream flowing on the planet into their bodies and create elixirs. There are five types. Red, green, yellow, white, and finally black."

"Does it have to be black? As far as I know, the elixir has a technique to bypass it depending on the mixing and ratio of the ingredients, right?"

"Elixirs have unique effects for each type. Red is heat, green is a biochemical element, yellow is an energy property change, and white is involved in an atmospheric element. The rocks of heaven are so durable that they do not weather even after tens of thousands of years. That's why you need an elixir that contains the power of the planet."

Crud pointed towards the warehouse.

"For example, it takes 8,000 red elixirs to cast the metal that goes into one Guroi, but if you mix white elixirs, the efficiency of the thermal reaction is much higher. Mixing white and yellow can also generate electricity. Like this, the elixir is the means to achieve everything in this world."

Fleur asked.

"Then what does the black elixir do?"

Crud looked at Fleur's face for a moment, then turned his gaze to Sein and replied.

"Black Elixir, simply put, governs time."

"hour? Is it some kind of magic?"

"no. To be precise, it reverses or accelerates an irreversible phenomenon. If you use the black elixir on a mixture of ink and water, the ink and water will not separate again. In case of burns, black and green elixirs can also be used to repair cellular damage."

"I can't… … ."

Sirone couldn't believe it.

It was a phenomenon of ignoring the chemistry laws he had learned in school so far.

Zulu asked.

"What about palpation?"

"It shortens the reaction rate. Green Elixir is the basic element that makes up living things, and Black Elixir can be mixed with it to cause mutations. I heard that in some cases, evolutionary products come out thousands of years later."

Gaold said.

"It's a philosopher's stone."

I've heard of sirone too.

It's not a word commonly used in magic, but it's a substance that alchemists call a dream ingredient.

There is a fantasy product in heaven that can turn mere iron into gold or cure an incurable disease.

'no way… … then?'

There was one incident that came to Sirone's mind.

The other day, when Kanya's mother became the subject of an anecdote, the large glass ball was filled with black liquid.



A cruel technique that melts a human into a statue of a giant and casts the giant out of it like a mould.

The reason why it felt more cruel was because it was a strange phenomenon that his head could not understand at all.

A black liquid that dissolves and reconstitutes living things.

If that was possible in this world, a black elixir that ignores chemical reactions would surely be involved.

Sain grasped Crud's intentions.

"Using the Philosopher's Stone to shorten the production process of Tagis, are you talking about that?"

"That's it. Targis can be crafted with existing elixirs. But just melting rocks to extract and melt metals will eat up all your time. equipment is provided. Whatever it is, melt it down with black elixir and process the metal needed for Targis. These are my three conditions."

Armin asked.

"What is the probability if you collect it by hunting?"

Crud shook his head.

"0 percent. Black Elixir is not created in the body of a living being. It is an element that can only be obtained from beings who have transcended the flow of time, that is, from the dead."

If collecting planetary energy is different depending on the propensity of the creature, it was quite understandable given the non-ideality of the Philosopher's Stone.

"Undead creatures live in the erosion valley northwest of the mainland. But even if I catch a thousand, I'm afraid there will be one. In other words, it is not even a 0.1 percent chance."

said Gaold indifferently.

"Then what are we to do?"

"There is one. A place where you can get the Black Elixir with a 30%, no, 50% chance."

Sein asked.

"Where is it?"

Crude hesitated here again.

However, realizing that he couldn't stop talking, he widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

"The world of the dead, Niflheim."
