Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

Just then, a bolt of purplish-black lightning struck down from the clouds!

An indescribable, magnificent aura descended upon this land!

The clouds churned, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure swept across the heavens and earth in an instant!

Even the machine armor users who were still unleashing [Sky Strike] were forced to stop their movements by this power.

The earth was scorched by the force of their attack, even exhibiting an impossible phenomenon of 'boiling'.

However, all of this paled in comparison to that bolt of lightning...

At this moment, everyone knows...

【god!】

[It has arrived!]

In [Avant Heim], the Skywing race who remained behind suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

The magic array they were guarding, the device used to communicate with their god, was instantly devoured by a dark purple power!

["Lord Artosh..."]

Azriel was stunned. She stared blankly at the flashing thunder in the sky, softly murmuring the name of their god...

"I have been waiting for you, my nemesis."

The clouds pressed down along with the dark purple lightning... no, it was space itself that was crushed by an unparalleled force!

[It seems some being beyond this world has appeared! It's about to burst the world apart!]

"So that's how it is. Being dragged off the stage by the weak is the fate of the strong."

[Arthas's] voice was more vast than thunder! It reached the ears of every living being still conscious...]

What...?

Upon hearing this, Azriel was even momentarily stunned.

[Actually, she had already suspected it before she rushed out, and had noticed the abnormality of this so-called '[Sky Strike]'.]

[A machine-type robot, its special ability is to mimic scrap metal like a monkey.]

She saw through everything, including the other party's intentions—to incite a full-blown conflict—which is why she said the other party was underestimating them…

[Only... [Althos], the actions of their strongest master were beyond her expectations...]

The master is absolute, the master is the strongest! The so-called strong are the master, and the weak are everyone else except the master!

[But what Master meant... was that someone brought Master onto this stage?!]

Who is it?! ...No! That doesn't matter...

The astonishment felt by all the Winged Race, including Azriel, upon the arrival of [Althos] lasted only a moment, before a renewed determination to win the war arose within them!

[The master is the strongest! Unrivaled in this world! So! What is there to fear in the face of the foolish strategies of the 'weak' who flaunt their petty cleverness! What is there to hesitate about! What is there to be confused about!]

The existence of the master is the very symbol of invincibility!!

Perhaps... just as Azriel, and every [Tillands] thought...

Dark clouds...

[The endless black clouds seemed to shroud the entire world!]

[Then...]

[Endless lightning!]

[“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!…”]

[Purple-black lightning struck the earth, spreading to an unknown distance... or perhaps, engulfing everything!]

This is the only light that all life can see at this moment!

Is it the insight of God? Or the power of the God of War?

From the very beginning, [Althos] had a premonition... or to put it more bluntly, he 'saw' the future!

[At this moment, He was situated amidst the clouds, as if proclaiming His majesty, or perhaps welcoming someone who had been waiting for a long time.]

Suddenly, [Althos] had a sudden realization.

One-sided slaughter cannot be called [war], but as the god who has been burdened with the title of 'strongest' since the beginning of history, He is not satisfied with this title.

What's the point of having a strongest without a challenger...?

He had long ago 'foreseen' the challenger's arrival, perhaps believing the other could dethrone him, but now, things seem to be going differently than he expected.

"I see. The one who can stand against me, the strongest, must be the weakest...right, [monkey]?"

[He initially believed that a more powerful god was about to be born, but it happened at the end of endless time and space...]

[Seeing Rick's eyes, it seemed he had already buried his fighting spirit!]

[Mere humans?]

【I see……】

With just one glance, [Althos] had grasped everything about Riku, both the present and the shadows of the past...

Hate it, be angry it, rebel it, gamble your fragile life, use all your wisdom, and foolishly challenge it.

The reason for being [the strongest] is to crush everything with overwhelming power.

So what if I was reincarnated as a spider? Spider Child: "Gulp... This, this, this... This is completely not a thing of this level! How am I supposed to fight it?!"

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, Sena Akagi: "But, but! That look in Riku's eyes! Ugh!! Riku is so incredibly handsome!!!"

"Ah! I'm dead!"

In the world of Gintama, Sakata Gintoki: "What? You're wet?"

In the world of Under One Person, Zhang Chulan exclaimed: "?? God the hell is this wet! You bunch of idiots have ruined the perfect atmosphere!"

Eros Chocolate World, Metata: "...Agreed."

My eldest brother has a screw loose in his head. Dongfang Xianyun: "Ahem~ Let me straighten the floor."

"The betting has started! With such a huge disparity in strength, can Rick turn the tide?"

"Will the rules he set be broken?"

"Those who bet on the winner stand on the left, those who bet on the loser stand on the right, and those who bet on the neutral side stand in the middle!"

In the world of The King's Avatar, Wei Chen says, "Stop acting like a fool! They're fighting tooth and nail across the room!"

In the world of Hundred Demon Records, Tao Yao said, "Phew~ Hehe~ There's nothing I can do about it. I can't figure out what Rick plans to do next."

In the world of Chivalry of a Failed Knight, Ikki Kurogane asks: "Can the weakest... defeat the strongest...?"

Chapter 435 [Divine Strike] —!

"Launch a [Sky Strike] from behind [Avant Heim] that won't harm anyone, then..."

Rick calmly watched as endless lightning swept across the heavens and earth.

The appearance of [Althos] was not unexpected... rather, their initial goal included drawing out this strongest [divine species] in history!

[And as [Altosh] descended, the [Full Link Command] also began leading a portion of the Machine Guns away...]

"Eleven [connector units] have begun moving towards the deployment point."

"Wait a moment, the conflict, having exhausted all its energy, is about to erupt."

Both the Forest Elf Alliance and the Goblin Alliance had previously designated the other two factions as their "trump cards," because they both had absolute confidence in the wielders of their weapons!

However... this "absolutely" is only relative...

"All personnel, ready."

Alright, enough of the preamble. [Althos] issued the final command.

[And Azriel and the other Winged Race members' faces lit up with fanaticism!]

[God of War! The strongest god! The full power of the master, the king of kings!]

[Our own power is also a part of the master's!]

[The combined [Sky Strike] of all the [Skywing Race] is released! It is an unparalleled power, enough to make all gods submit!]

[Divine Strike]—!

Without the slightest hesitation, all the [Skywing species] unleashed their full 'spirit' power to the extreme!

[To be a servant of one's master! To have the opportunity to fight alongside one's master! It is the highest honor of being a [Winged Race]!]

"The other party is a divine being; their mere human cleverness can easily see through it."

Even so, He will still respond with all His might.

"Because this is the principle of the strong, the way of the strong!"

A cataclysmic hurricane sweeps across the land!

The ground was torn apart and ripped open!

[Whether it's forest elves, goblins, dragon elves... all races!]

Anyone who still harbors a fear of 'death' will be gripped by endless panic and dread regarding this force...

"Have some self-awareness, you sly fools who try to show off your petty cleverness."

"Struggle, resist!"

"You must understand that no matter how many tiny insects crawling on the ground gather, they can never compare to the sky."

This was the calm yet earth-shattering announcement from [Artesius].

Regardless of their race, they were ultimately just insignificant minions to him.

Before a power capable of destroying all things in the universe, everything will return to dust...

The vortex in the sky surged, gradually expanding until it almost completely enveloped the entire continent.

[Altho] seemed to be using this method to tell everyone...

You can't escape...

"[Void Zero Blessing], Full Power Spell Unleashed!"

Under Sink Nielbaren's command, the [Void Zero Blessing], which had been poised to fire, forcibly changed direction! They all shot towards [Avant Heim].

"[Marrow Explosion], all missiles fired!"

The goblin race made the same choice.

Clinging to a fragile rationality that could vanish at any moment, all living beings grit their teeth and scheme, resorting to any means necessary!

But... let alone counteracting this force, even 'understanding' it has become almost impossible.

"...Admit it, this is reality..."

The absolute disparity in strength unconsciously brings to mind this phrase:

Give up...

Sink Nielbaren was thinking and analyzing with near-madness!

[...The vortex formed by the collision of forces from different dimensions, even the breeze it generates, possesses the power to evaporate anyone with the connection to the Elf Corridor's nerves who touches it...]

But... even if it's an incomprehensible force, according to the laws of energy flow, there's only one outcome.

[The vortex will eventually contract, expand, and radiate!]

[And its attack range is [all-around]!]

"Order the entire ship! All casters, activate [Fourth Divine Blessing] simultaneously! Move quickly!!"

Despite giving this order, Sink Nielbaren's expression remained grave; she knew it was all in vain.

[Twenty-five years ago, a protective spell cast by three thousand people could not even withstand the [Sky Strike] of a single Skywing.]

After that incident, Sink Nielbaren compiled the protective... no, sealing formula [The Ancient Fourth Protection].

[As a genius of the [Forest Elf race], this is also a super defensive spell inscribed with the blessing of the god [Kainas].]
