Why can't humans do it too?

The only goal now is to stall for time and survive... until the moment Suer succeeds.

“…Shubi…you can do it…” The crimson-haired mech warrior murmured repeatedly, protected by steel, “…Shubi…do it…”

"Are those enormous wings mocking me, meow? If this counts as a provocation, then you've succeeded, scrap metal, meow~", staring at the massive steel fortress before her, Azriel showed little fear or tension, instead laughing easily.

The weapon that Shubi was unleashing at full power had enormous wings woven from light, which made Azriel somewhat displeased.

[Goal—Do everything you can... to survive!]

Ignoring the words of the Skywing race, Shubi's words traveled through the cracks in the steel fortress to Azriel's ears. The next moment, the huge cannons on the surface of the fortress opened fire!

boom! ! !

"What is that?" Ronnie asked, pointing to the massive steel fortress on the horizon.

He wasn't asking a simple question like "what is a steel fortress in the literal sense?" but rather why there would be a steel fortress there.

Why would a machine appear here?

What a weird thing.

"Have the Goblin race joined this war? When? Why?" Ronnie followed up with another Goblin standing next to him, asking the same question.

"Could it be that he was accidentally injured?" one of the goblins guessed, but this was immediately dismissed.

"Impossible. The war here has been going on for so long. Those iron blocks should automatically avoid this area. After all, they don't crave victory in this great war."

It is indeed impossible.

Ronnie agreed with this assessment.

More than the participation of the machine race, he was more concerned about the things that fell out of the huge flower ship before it crashed. If he wasn't mistaken, the Skywing race that had inexplicably appeared on the periphery of the flower ship at the beginning and was later driven away by the Forest God Kenus also appeared next to those thrown objects at that time.

Then, the suddenly appearing Machine Race and Skywing Race clashed.

As the war dragged on, not only were Ronnie's questions unanswered, but they had actually multiplied. It wasn't just frustrating; it was incredibly frustrating.

The Elf flagship had already crashed due to the God of War's attack—so why did the God of War specifically target the Elf flagship?

Ronnie felt that his questions had been steadily increasing since more than a decade ago. Putting aside the God of War's inexplicable attack for the moment, why was it that even the Forest God Kenus, the creator of the Forest Elves, had been injured and fled, yet the frustration he felt, stemming from his emotions, remained unresolved?

Has he fallen behind the world?

Ronnie might know something; he could hear Big Daddy laughing loudly as he disappeared again after Kanas escaped. However, he had no intention of asking, even though Big Daddy probably wouldn't tell him even if he did.

Frustrated, the one-eyed goblin is extremely frustrated right now.

Ronnie paced back and forth on the ground, hands behind his back, while the other goblins sensibly left him alone to continue his thoughts.

“…blow that place up.”

Suddenly, Ronnie stopped, looked up at the map, and gave instructions.

"where?"

"Right there."

Following Ronnie's finger, the goblin who had asked the question saw where Ronnie was pointing.

That city that once belonged to them has now been transformed into a blue ocean of sprites.

Chapter 279 Acceleration

"Huh? You're going to blow that up? Why?" the goblin asked, looking bewildered. "But there's nothing there!"

"Listen to my order! Bomb there! Immediately! Right now!"

"But—which type of shell should we use?"

"Bone Explosion!!" Ronnie practically roared out the command, then suddenly remembered something and added, "Also, prepare a stealthy and fastest airship for me, the faster the better."

"Huh? But the battlefield here still needs you... Where are you going?" The oppressive feeling emanating from Ronnie forced the goblin to change his mind midway, and he couldn't help but shudder as the crimson single eye stared at him.

“I just want to confirm some things… things that ordinary guys can’t see, things outside the battlefield…” Ronnie murmured thoughtfully as he looked up at the map of the entire continent once more. “Anyway, let’s get ready quickly.”

"Ah! Yes!"

He inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bowed, and immediately relayed the order.

Soon, a spaceship swerved, pointing its massive cannons toward the elven ocean.

The unclear direction of the shells meant that neither the remaining Forest Elf Alliance nor the Skywings needed to dodge them. Even though they had made ample preparations for such a great battle, the Goblins had actually produced very few Marrow Explosive Shells. The Goblins were puzzled by how many were wasted.

Although no one knew why Ronnie suddenly wanted to use precious marrow explosives to blow up that strange place, the goblins still carried out his orders well, since Ronnie must have his reasons for doing so.

The meteor trail that streaked across the sky reappeared in this world, not heading towards any significant target, but rather towards a place outside the battlefield that could be described as utterly worthless, disappearing just before reaching the horizon and exploding.

The blazing white light obscured the crimson sky in that corner of the world. The immense energy fluctuations shook the spirits of all races and drew their attention. In this moment of intense focus, no one noticed that a flat, withered-leaf-like spaceship silently descended from beneath the goblin flagship. Hidden fluctuations appeared behind it, and the next second, it vanished without a trace from the battlefield.

--------------

Let's rewind a little, back to when the forest elf flagship was still spinning, not yet completely crashed to the ground.

"Can you go any faster?" he urged anxiously. Through the gaps in the vines, Suer could see the small figure of the machine-type girl and the white wings of the sky-winged race rapidly shrinking in his field of vision.

Riku's words still lingered in his mind. Suer couldn't imagine how he would face Riku if it were truly too late, how he would be able to utter that unfortunate news—no, if it really came to that, would he still have a chance to apologize?

No time to think.

“Okay~, I’ll accelerate again, but the price will be that the stability will be worse… Can you handle it?” With one hand on the side of the seed and the other on Suer’s chest, Xinke turned her head and asked.

"Ah, okay, a little faster," Su'er replied in a low voice, enduring the increasingly intense jolting and nausea.

His already weakened body felt as if even the last bone in his body was about to fall apart from the shaking. But more than the physical pain, what made Suer almost unable to maintain his sanity was the restless feeling coming from the depths of his soul.

It was as if something was awakening, calling out, relentlessly knocking on the walls of his mind. The surging impulses were more frequent than the tide, and the unstoppable dizziness lingered in Suer's soul, almost causing him to faint.

As time passed, a premonition that had appeared out of nowhere became clearer and clearer. There was no evidence or reason, but Sull's desire to reach the throne of the One God grew ever more urgent. He had a feeling that if he did not want to see all the people he cherished, or even the entire world, perish, only the power to reshape the planet or the universe could save him.

Like a resentful ant fantasizing about something grand, Suer was so certain of it, more convinced than anyone else.

"The faster we go, the faster the final plan will be completed, and the higher the chances of Hughie surviving—as long as she can hold on until I become the One God, our sister will not die..." Without telling Xin Ke his true feelings, Su Er urged him again in a low voice.

"Heh~, little sister?" Xin Ke simply repeated this without revealing whether it was a compliment or an insult.

With no time to say more, Xin Ke tried her best to maintain Su Er's life while making the seed made of vines and roots fly faster.

The target was the former city of the goblin race, the place where Lennie and Credor paid with their lives, and also the vast ocean of elves that now exists in the world.

It was a bold plan full of risks, with no chance of even testing. That's why every opportunity to increase the likelihood of the plan's success was something Suer had to seize with all his might.

The Elf Sea, which transformed into a true blue ocean due to the explosion of the divine essence, is undoubtedly the place in the entire world where the Elf Corridor is closest to the real world. After discussing it for a long time with the God of Doubt, Xin Ke even suspected that the very center of that ocean, where it first appeared, was no different from the real Elf Corridor.

Placing the final location in a place that best aligns with the Elf Corridor is undoubtedly the plan with the highest success rate.

Amidst waves of dizziness, nausea, and sensory discomfort, Suer managed to focus his mind and, after several attempts, finally fixed his gaze on the vines and roots above his head.

The entire outer wall of the seed was burning. The plant, which should have been afraid of fire and heat, had turned into a bright orange-yellow color, just like molten steel. If you looked at the entire battlefield, the seed was just like an ordinary spark. After being thrown off the ship, it fell into the distance calmly and naturally, and was also burned by the heat generated by high-speed friction, without any abnormality.

Except for the direction it fled in.

Chapter 280 Critical Point

Although he didn't feel any excessive heat from the burning outer wall, Suer was far from relieved.

With just a slight turn of her head, Xin Ke could see her lover. She was breathing heavily, large beads of sweat streaming down her forehead, and even her usually flowing light golden hair was tangled into strands by the sweat.

She has given it her all.

Maintaining Sul's life requires her spirits, and controlling the seed's escape also requires her spirits. Even though Xinke's own spirit quantity is far greater than that of her people, it is nothing in the face of such consumption.

“…We’re almost there…” Perhaps noticing Suer’s gaze, Xin Ke suddenly turned her head and gave a forced smile. “…Just wait a little longer.”

Without saying anything, or rather, without having time to say anything, a throbbing sensation, as if a giant hammer were pounding on his chest, suddenly surged rapidly within Suer's chest. His heart, which had been beating slowly due to weakness, began to pump violently, and his pupils dilated in an instant—an invisible yet tangible warning!

"Quick! Xin Ke!!!"

In his haste, he could only utter these words, which contained no real meaning whatsoever. However, Su Er believed that Xin Ke would understand what he meant.

Without hesitation, Xin decisively released control over the entire seed, her actions even faster than her thoughts. She pressed all her spirits onto Suer and herself, and a thick green light curtain, like ink, permeated the space around them.

Even though it only took less than a thousandth of a second, both Xin Ke and Su Er still felt that the speed was not enough. Almost immediately after the appearance of the green light screen, the familiar pure white light covered their entire field of vision, and even the entire world.

blank.

A blank space where even sound has disappeared.

Everything clearly exists, yet it's as if nothing exists.

In just a few short seconds, less than half a breath, the pure white world vanished, along with the green protective wall that shattered like glass.

"...Pfft, cough cough cough cough, ugh cough cough, crazy, idiot! Ground, groundhog...die! Cough cough cough cough cough!!" She even coughed until the muscles in her chest, abdomen and back twitched. It was the rejection reaction after connecting with the Elf Corridor and squeezing out the excess elves from her body in an instant. Xin Ke punched the ground hard and cursed intermittently.

Without a doubt, the white light that engulfed the entire world was the goblin race's most prized weapon—the Marrow Burst.

Why would those gophers suddenly launch such an attack on this completely empty space where there are no troops?!

In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through her mind, from traitors to pursuers who witnessed the two of them escape. Xin Ke's lungs felt like they were being burned by fire, but compared to this trivial matter, she was more concerned about Su Er's condition at the moment.

"...Cough cough cough, no, it's nothing cough cough cough cough—"

Unable to speak, with her vision blurred by tears she choked on, what stopped Xin Ke from continuing was Su Er's movement—the hand gripping her arm, and the man's slow shaking of his head.
