After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

Even those who are extraordinary are far from being comparable to the divine servants and armies created by the God of War specifically for the purpose of killing.

but--

At this moment, Roland was astonished to discover...

No matter how hard he tried, no matter how fiercely he exerted himself, his body, which had been honed through countless trials and tribulations and should have been as responsive as his own limbs, was unable to make even the slightest movement.

Roland stared intently at the calm, black-haired, black-eyed wizard before her, using the only two beautiful eyes she could still use.

The sixth ring's immobilization spell? Or the seventh ring's spatial restraints?

But what kind of control spell is it...?

How could someone as truly legendary as himself lose even the ability to move a little finger?

.......

"Miss Roland, please save your energy..."

The black-haired, black-eyed wizard's words carried a hint of helplessness.

His gaze slowly rose, landing on the sky above, at the highest point of the royal city—

Between the thrones.

"Your Empress has been watching this place ever since I arrived in the Holy City—"

"And yet, she hasn't done anything to stop it—"

"So that means... she also wanted to test the waters about me, this visitor from another world..."

Charles's words remained calm and indifferent.

His spiritual ocean is breathing slowly—

The overflowing spiritual energy enveloped the holy city and even the pale land below.

"Twelve Legends—"

"Among them are seven physics majors...and five legendary mages."

"...And then there's your Silver Empress, surrounded by fragments of the shattered river of time...as if she's been washed away by the river of time countless times...so much so that I can't even see her clearly anymore—"

"Such a powerful empire, which gathers all the strongest beings in a plane, is indeed something to be proud of... There's no need to take a legendary Planeswalker of unknown origin too seriously."

"That's a normal way of thinking, after all, if it were me..."

"If someone suddenly came up to me and said he had invented a perpetual motion machine... I would probably just think of him as some amateur scientist who popped out of some idiot forum."

"but--"

"You may have misunderstood something."

Charles paused for a moment.

"I'm not the lone, helpless traveler you imagine me to be..."

"But..."

"They come representing a civilization from another world."

.......

Charles suddenly remembered something Claude had casually mentioned during their online chats.

"A weak nation has no diplomacy..."

"At any time, if you want both parties to demonstrate a genuine willingness to cooperate..."

"Then we need to first show the force that matches our sincerity."

really......

Troublesome matters like diplomatic negotiations and cooperation should be left to unscrupulous businessmen like Kurod and Augutia.

I'm just not cut out for this kind of work...

Charles shook his head inwardly.

He decided to finish this job and then pass the buck to Claude and Isabella, letting those experts in imperial studies deal with the mess...

certainly......

Now that I've taken on the responsibility of the advance team...

So he still needs to do what he needs to do right now...

Isn't it just showing off your fists?

As a battle mage, this is what Shar is best at.

"So--"

"As the party that took the initiative to come here... let us show you first..."

"Let this be a token of sincerity from our world..."

Mysterious runes flickered in Charles's eyes.

The once calm ocean of the mind was suddenly engulfed in monstrous waves.

Ciel possesses a wide variety of offensive magic...

Leaving aside the vast amount of forbidden spells against armies that he memorized from the Black Tower Library...

In terms of destructive power alone, Ciel's own creations, "Divine Punishment: Sword of Damocles" and "Nuclear Explosion Magic," are undoubtedly far beyond what is expected.

It's more than enough to deal with the legendary peak-level Colossus that Roland mentioned... it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

However... all of the above are forbidden spells capable of causing widespread damage...

When a fortress is surrounded and a siege begins, it is easy to lose sight of friend from foe and inflict heavy casualties on friendly forces.

Of course... Ciel was not unaware of the obvious shortcomings and flaws in his own ability system.

The "celestial control device" he had previously attempted to create was a prelude to the forbidden spell he was about to unleash.

Macro-atoms —

And ball lightning.

Even if Ciel's past life was a product of science fiction, it was still just a fictional existence.

But at this moment——

After Sharl opened the quantum gate to the arcane world...

The "macro-atom," which originally existed only in fantasy, has indeed been discovered by Charles.

Even capturing and utilizing...

Ultimately, it was completely perfected in the abyss where it once again became an experimental site.

Arcs of electricity crackled and flickered in Charles's dark eyes...

In the distant sky, amidst the dark clouds that blot out the sun, flashes of lightning intertwined.

The cold announcement echoed through the silent royal city.

I wonder if it's just my imagination—

Roland clearly sensed a hint of amusement in Charles's calm words...

"I--"

"It is a storm."

.......

A new month begins; I'll adjust my update schedule and routine.

Chapter 78 Ball Lightning, Quantum Ghost 1w1

Silver Continent, Third Energy Fortress, afternoon.

The pitch-black seawater surged and roared...

Seawater, enough to be described as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons, converged into towering waves...

Then, it slammed onto the metal platform standing in the open ocean, splashing up millions of tiny, snow-white water droplets.

As one of the only three strongholds of the Silver Continent civilization on the surface...

The third energy fortress... is different from the first and second energy fortresses.

It's not built amidst mountains like the previous two...or inside caves...

Instead, it is... a marine mine standing deep in the ocean.

Its entire body is made of star alloy manufactured by the dwarves...

The massive steel keel forms the magnificent platform framework, resembling a tower standing in an endless ocean.

The Silver Empire's decision to build its third energy fortress, a crucial national asset, on the ocean was naturally based on specific considerations...

As a mining site deep in the ocean, the endless expanse of the ocean... is an inherent barrier.
