——A miracle happened.

No, it wasn't a miracle at all.

That was a power that was distorted by some mistake from the very beginning and that should have belonged to someone.

"The super array has stopped functioning... the target still exists! How come... there is no effect?!"

The barrier, as bright and transparent as bubbles under the sun, seemed like starlight that could dispel all darkness and completely blocked all erosion.

...This kind of unreasonable thing should never happen.

[Although I don't want to strike you down at this time, but listen carefully now, Moro Oufei - the power I give you is enough to destroy anything on this planet. Even the existence called the Son of the Star cannot maintain its form under this power.]

[However, there is only one thing that cannot be harmed by this kind of power... Although I think it is unlikely that you will come across that thing, if you do come across it, then you will be unlucky.]

[That is, the soul of a certain human being summoned from another world by the will of this planet. ]

At this moment, Moro Oufei suddenly remembered the seemingly meaningless words that the mysterious man from the Covenant Alliance in the west of the continent, who called himself a "hero", had said to him at that time.

[If that soul was in its original body, a single thought would be enough to completely crush a small character like you... But you are lucky, that guy's soul and body are not together now. ]

[Of course, even if you only have a soul, you are unlikely to threaten him. After all, this planet dotes on him to an extent that is even more exaggerated than treating its own children.]

[Why do I know this? I just know it.]

When the man's frivolous words flashed through his mind again, Moro Oufei suddenly felt a tremor.

Beneath the earth that has turned into a molten purgatory, something seems to be slowly awakening.

"…Turn around immediately and leave here."

"Yes! But... just now, in order to activate the super array, one of the magic source reactors burned out due to overload."

The reason why Duke Ophelia's flagship was designed to such a huge size was actually just to allow the super array to start up smoothly.

Only after the huge amount of magic source stones mixed with burning crystals are activated through several special magic source furnaces can the spiritual power required for the super array be barely filled...and this also means that apart from this ultimate weapon, this flagship has no advantages in other aspects.

Therefore, even if the ship wanted to turn around and escape, the overly large hull would take a longer time to complete the action.

"...Molo Ophe, I curse you."

The princess' voice was heard again on the communication line - but this time, her tone, which was originally filled with sadness, was somehow filled with resentment and hatred.

"You shamelessly took my sister away and made her die at a young age... and you have never repented for what you did. Not only did you put the blame on others, you even wanted to kill my husband."

"…After turning, move forward at full speed and activate all defense arrays."

"So I curse you - your soul will never be able to return to the sea of ​​stars. No matter how many times Sister Daiya reincarnates, you will never be able to meet her again!"

...That was just a little girl's joke.

Moro Ofei didn't intend to think seriously about the meaning of those words - now he was just thinking about how to regroup after this and then make sure to destroy all enemies in the next battle.

However, at this moment, he had forgotten what it meant to turn his back on the enemy and run away.

"——Heart of the Earth, Kliatis, obey my command and appear here for a moment to completely burn the unforgivable souls!"

——The earth heard this curse-like prayer.

The white bird in the sky suddenly shone brightly, releasing warm light like the morning sun in all directions.

The purgatory on the ground, where molten flames were constantly boiling, seemed to have its anger soothed by this light, and it gradually subsided visibly.

"…Don't worry about anything, evacuate at full speed!"

"...Don't even think about it, run away!"

Then, a heart-stopping silence suddenly descended.

Everyone's consciousness fell into a momentary trance, and even the originally noisy sound disappeared for a moment.

"——————"

Then, the real judgment suddenly came.

The earth, which had been gradually calming down, suddenly cracked in the silence, and roaring lava rushed up from the depths of the earth, turning into a huge column of molten flame that blasted towards the sky.

Just like a long-dormant volcano suddenly erupted, huge amounts of energy poured out from the inside of the planet. The violent explosions and resonances caused the sky to shake violently.

"Under us—"

Even the huge airships built by humans are nothing more than tiny ants in the face of this violent natural force.

The scorching lava flowed with unparalleled impact, instantly tearing through the exaggerated hull of the ship and piercing countless miserable holes on the huge flagship.

The humans among them had absolutely no ability to resist this catastrophic natural force... One after another, they were swallowed up by the surging lava, and not even a trace of ash was left.

"Activate the emergency device... protect the Duke!"

"you--"

In the face of such an irresistible force, just a few seconds are enough to completely change a person's destiny.

The Duke's loyal subordinates decisively activated some kind of device in the last few seconds of their lives... but it might be too late.

The raging volcano mercilessly devoured the huge battleship in a few breaths, melting and burning everything that might have existed.

Unless there really is a miracle that overturns fate - otherwise, everything ends here.

"...After confirming that the enemy target is completely silent, the Dawn White Bird...returns."

Even if the white birds in the sky turned and flew away, the roaring volcano still could not be calmed down.

No one knows when this land will stop burning and return to peace.

And those souls that have been engulfed by flames may never be able to return to the earth again.

——This story finally came to the worst ending.

……■■■……

"Looks like it's over... What do you think of this fireworks display, sister?"

"It's pretty boring - after all, I just got a boring escort job. Even if I were set on fire now, I wouldn't find it interesting."

"Ha, I think that would be interesting."

Black clothes and black skirts with pitch-black shawls and headscarves - these are the only features that can be identified from the appearance of the two human-shaped black shadows who are standing side by side and looking at the burning purgatory in the distance.

Although the voice sounded like a female voice, the emptiness of the voice, as if there was no emotion at all, made the conversation between the two people strange and unusual.

"Even if he only has a soul, he can still exert such great power - those little girls have no idea what kind of person they were entangled with before."

"That's just a kid's favorite play game... Hey, why is this guy still alive? This is so annoying."

"Oh? Wow...it seems that the disgusting guy we didn't catch left him some power."

Not far from where the two black shadows were standing, there was a strange mechanical device whose shell had been melted on a large scale, like a broken egg, and it was constantly flashing subtle light.

And in the center, protected by the eggshell, was a man covered in wounds but still alive... At this moment, he was gasping for breath with all his might, as if he was trying to get a glimmer of hope to survive.

——He was a man who was saved by some great miracle, who faced the wrath of the planet and survived.

"Ahem...you guys..."

"So, as we said before, those little girls are not mature at all - they shouted something like 'curse' so loudly, but then ran away without even confirming the result."

"...Please...save..."

Although his body was extensively burned, the man had not lost much vitality - if he received proper treatment, he should be able to return to normal soon.

But the two dark shadows who were slowly walking towards him at this moment did not look like godsend saviors.

"So? Handle it according to our work regulations?"

"Of course, it's best to get rid of this kind of filth as soon as possible, as it can mess up the fate of others just by relying on its own luck."

“…You…what…”

The man's cloudy brain did not understand the meaning of those empty words.

He just subconsciously reached out to the glimmer of hope for survival, praying that someone could save him from this imminent fate.

He wanted to live, to continue to realize his wish... to fulfill the wish of the only person who was clearly visible in his broken memory -

"Please do this kind of dirty work yourself next time - then goodbye, Mr. Moreau Ophi... '■■Gluttony'."

After a word that sounded like a complaint, a "■■" that could not even be called darkness suddenly shot out from the hand of one of the figures, instantly engulfing the man who was still craving for light.

"..."

Then, it was as if the man had never existed from the beginning, completely and without a trace, disappearing from this world.

——It’s as if the concept has been eliminated.

“Ahahahaha – what’s the point of just cursing souls? This worthless garbage must be cleared away as soon as possible.”

A rather wild female laugh came from another figure, causing her companion to step back in disgust.

But she quickly regained her original composure, and spoke words that sounded like guidance in a familiar, frivolous tone.

"Okay, now let's get the story back on track."

It seemed like the beginning or the end of some kind of destiny.

"——Hero, you must save the world."
