-791- Won't be able to keep up

The war that took place in the Machinart City of Liverpool has come to an end.

It should be noted that the war could be declared over long before the "Anti-Magic Barrier" took effect.

Although Eva's "Multi-Controller" permanently altered "Eve's Heart," and even if "Multi-Controller" lost its effect, it wouldn't revert unless a specialized repair program was applied. However, the appearance of the "Anti-Magic Barrier" interrupted Eva's singing, rendering "Multi-Controller" ineffective.

Even though the automatons in the Machinart City were still in revolt, others no longer needed to worry about their automatons going out of control within the range of "Multi-Controller."

Therefore, with the interruption of "Multi-Controller" by the "Anti-Magic Barrier," the Machinist Corps, lurking outside the Machinart City, seized the opportunity and rushed in, suppressing the automatons roaming the streets.

However, before they flooded the streets, these automatons had already been suppressed by the army of monsters summoned by Rozen. The victory roars of Aincrad's monsters resounded triumphantly, echoing incessantly.

It wasn't until Rozen dealt with Edmund and Glendan that the war truly ended. Shadows finally appeared in the chaotic Machinart City, where soldiers and police officers tirelessly moved through it.

As for those horrifying monsters, they began to disappear on the spot, leaving only the lingering roars echoing as if they continued to affect people's ears.

Before long, the hostages detained by the rampaging automatons were also rescued by the military and police, guided by Komurasaki.

Irori successfully found Karyusai Shouko in the chaotic mansion, rushing into Shouko's arms amid the wreckage, prompting a helpless smile from Shouko.

In the sky, Daedalus also descended slowly, landing on the plaza in front, surrounded by numerous soldiers and police.

Edmund and Glendan, both heavily injured, were arrested by the military as rebels. They would face the royal sanctions.

In this way, the rebellion led by the Black Prince came to a close.

The people still in the academy were watching the scenes displayed on the projection screens, each still immersed in awe, seemingly unable to forget the roaring and rampaging legion of monsters. They especially couldn't forget the lone figure flying into the sky, facing the warship directly, a sight they couldn't shake off for a long time.

The headmaster and Percival were also gazing at the screens, observing Daedalus landing on the plaza in front, subsequently falling into silence.

"Was all of this within your calculations?" Percival inquired, his tone complex.

It was an unavoidable situation.

"Did you intend for him to confront the Black Prince because you knew he had this kind of ability?" This was the question Percival wanted to ask.

However, the headmaster could only sigh in response.

"How could I have foreseen that?" The headmaster spoke with a bitter tone. "I just felt that since he could eliminate the 'Divine Works' without relying on automatons, he would be very suitable to handle this situation."

After all, "Multi-Controller" only worked on automatons.

In that case, the headmaster's thoughts couldn't be considered wrong.

However, this cunning old fox clearly didn't anticipate that Rozen would manifest such power in the end.

"What does the emergence of such an incredible power in the Night Party signify?" The headmaster closed his eyes involuntarily.

"On the Night of Sevens, in the time of Six Buds, mankind shall become the agents of gods."

"Like flawless jewels."

"Authority shall be overthrown first, gathering those from foreign lands."

"Then unshackling the bonds of dominion, the city will be filled with purification."

"Thus, stars shall shower down, a prelude to the opening of the heavens and the earth."

"The youth arrives, reigning upon the throne of heaven."

"Behold, the one by their side is 'Machine doll.'"

The headmaster muttered to himself.

"If, as predicted by the Father, 'Machine Doll' is truly born around the Wiseman of this generation, then, is the appearance of this person a turning point?" The abilities demonstrated by Rozen had already led the headmaster to think this way.

In such a special Night Party, Rozen, a formidable, mysterious, and unimaginable presence, transferred into the academy and showed such strength. Wasn't this a predestined event?

Perhaps...

"He is the one who can obtain the 'Machine Doll,'" the headmaster's tone became equally complex.

As for Magnus, he had long since disappeared without a trace.

Those with ulterior motives who witnessed the various feasts of this event surely had their own thoughts. What exactly were these people thinking? No one knew.

But one thing was certain.

From today onwards, Rozen's name would spread across the world and be known to all, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

And this also meant that Rozen would become the center of various disturbances, becoming the target of everyone's arrows.

...

"Are you reassured now?"

A distance away from the academy gates, Kimberly, draped in the coat of the "Crusaders," exhaled a long breath, expressing the astonishment from within. Meanwhile, she spoke to the girl beside her.

"..."

The girl, holding a steel-colored small dragon, still wore a lingering expression of shock.

This girl was naturally Charl.

Since encountering the uncontrollable automatons in the infirmary, Charl had gone directly to find Kimberly, hoping to gather some information from her. However, Charl hadn't expected that this matter would evolve into a rebellion, with even Rozen being drawn into opposing the academy.

In her urgency, Charl once again sought Kimberly's help, hoping to leverage the power of the "Mage's Association" to rectify the situation. However, the scenes unfolding before Charl and Kimberly left them both in continuous awe.

"Single-handedly confronting the entire academy."

"Defeating the strongest magus of the 19th century, even seizing the grimoire of 'Lemegeton.'"

"Summoning an army of tens of thousands of monsters, suppressing the riots within the Machinart city."

"Boarding Daedalus, defeating the Black Prince, overcoming Glendan. With just one person, resolving the crisis that put the country and even the world in jeopardy."

Kimberly recounted these achievements as if listing precious gems, wearing a wry smile as she addressed Charl.

"He doesn't need anyone's help."

At these words, Charl bit her lip, overwhelmed with an unprecedented sense of frustration.

"Even though I owe him so much..."

The result was that when he faced such a significant event, she couldn't contribute in any way. How could Charl accept this?

What frustrated Charl the most was...

"With his strength, even if you wanted to help him in the future, wouldn't you be incapable of doing so?"

Kimberly stated a somewhat cruel reality.

"Soon, you won't be able to keep up with his pace."

This sentence was enough to shake Charl's innermost feelings.

"Charl..."

Sigmund wanted to say something, but not a single word came out.

"Just go back and watch over your sister for now." Kimberly slowed her tone, as if reluctant to further dismay Charl. She continued, "I need to start my work as well."

With that, Kimberly put on her hood, disappeared with a swift motion.

Charl didn't react to this. She just stared at the screen displaying Daedalus, her expression silently melancholic.
