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

Then, Renata quietly moved her body a little closer to Charles.

.......

Unlike the calm and peaceful situation on Ciel and Renata's side.

Not far from Charles and Renata... a female knight named Roland remained frozen in place, even though Charles had already lifted the binding spell.

In her hand, the crystal used for communication was frantically displaying messages.

Her Majesty Danis was rescued by two legendary figures who suddenly appeared...

These two legendary figures are not recorded in the Empire's archives of extraordinary individuals. One of them appears to be a legendary water elemental mage of the Ice Elf race, while the other seems to possess abilities related to darkness and secrecy, and may have the blood of an ancient dragon...

A thunderstorm struck... but for some reason, it didn't damage the Third Energy Fortress in the slightest...

[After repeated confirmation... both divine power fluctuation detection and life aura probing... have returned the same result...]

[Confirmed... The sixth colossus, "Tsunami" Leviathan, has fallen!]

The crisis at the Third Energy Fortress... has now been resolved.

.......

Even though it was just a few lines of text... Roland could sense the disbelief of the sender in the Third Energy Fortress.

Giant God Soldier......

This is an existence that would require at least four legendary figures to possibly defeat.

Moreover... every campaign carries the high risk of a legendary figure falling, making it extremely risky.

however--

Such a war behemoth actually perished so easily under that inexplicable thunderstorm?

From beginning to end... it never even had a chance to struggle.

Roland, with the willpower of a legend, forced himself to shut down the communication crystal in his hand...

Then, she turned her gaze back to Charles and Renata, who were not far away.

This newly appeared black-haired, golden-eyed girl gave Roland a completely unfathomable feeling; she was probably at least a high-ranking legendary figure...

However, compared to Charles...

Whether it was the black-haired, golden-eyed girl in front of them... or the unfamiliar ice elf mage and the suspected ancient dragon mentioned in the message... they all seemed somewhat insignificant.

Many people in the Third Fortress still thought... that the thunderstorm was merely the wrath of nature.

However, Roland knew perfectly well in his heart...

The thunderstorm that obliterated Leviathan was unleashed by the black-haired, black-eyed wizard before us...

Thousands of miles apart, a legendary peak-level colossus was instantly annihilated with a single forbidden spell from an extremely long distance...

Moreover, judging from the other party's appearance, casting such a spell seemed to be no burden at all for him...

Even the most powerful legendary mage in the Arcane Academy could not do this...

.......

A mysterious... lone traveler?

Roland couldn't help but smile wryly at his own earlier thoughts.

Judging from the opponent's performance... he only needs one person to be worth a thousand troops.

Roland took a deep breath.

Then, she slightly turned her body to the side.

"Please forgive my previous rudeness, Your Excellency the Legendary Mage."

Compared to before, the female knight's posture was undoubtedly much more respectful at this moment.

The principle of "might makes right" is a universal law in any world.

and......

Roland also recalled a remark Charles had made earlier, a remark she had subconsciously ignored.

"Not a Planeswalker..."

"But——"

"Does it represent...something from another world?"

.......

Suddenly, a commotion arose from the crowd in the royal city.

Immediately afterwards, all the noise disappeared, leaving only a silent stillness.

Benedict——

Benedict——

A crisp sound rang out...

A slender figure dressed in a silver-white robe descended the steps from the lofty throne.

Then, they arrived in front of Ciel and Renata...

She wore a silver-white mask, exuding a cold and stern aura.

"Your Majesty, why must you come down yourself... I only need to lead them..."

Roland was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"For cooperation to be achieved, both parties need to demonstrate sufficient sincerity..."

The Silver Queen's voice was melodious, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"They've shown their sincerity... so now it's our turn..."

Her gaze lingered on Renata for a moment...

Finally, the image slowly settled on Ciel.

"My name is Fioren..."

"The Lord of the Holy City, and also the Empress of the Silver Empire."

"Welcome..."

"Allies from another world."

.......

The western continent, the outskirts of the Arcane Capital.

Nestled among the rolling mountains... Isabella stood atop a high platform, looking down at the deep well below, her black military uniform fluttering in the howling wind.

This is a large construction plant jointly funded by the Aran Empire and the Dark Tower.

The artifacts constructed within are top secret...

"Pity......"

"The moment the first giant magical construct of the Western Continent was born... he, as the designer of the blueprints, was unable to be there in person."

Kieran, with his white hair, let out a soft sigh.

From deep within the well, a series of cold, magical notification sounds slowly rang out.

"First overall check passed—"

"Second overall verification passed—"

"Security check complete."

"Initializing the operating system, initialization complete."

"Initiating the injection of the power core..."

"A miniature nuclear fusion engine, similar to a solar furnace."

In the pitch-black depths of the well, a dazzling sun slowly rose.

If it were an ordinary person, they would be temporarily blinded if they looked directly at a light source for just a few seconds.

However, the staff inside the well were prepared and wore protective goggles.

As for the two legends, Isabella and Kieran, on the high platform, they were naturally unaffected by the intense light.

"Unexpectedly, only a few months have passed since the birth of controlled nuclear fusion technology."

"The miniaturization of the nuclear fusion reactor has now been officially completed."

Kieran once again expressed his deep feelings.

The development speed of the Western Continent can only be described as changing rapidly...

It's not uncommon for powerful elders who have secluded themselves for ten years to emerge, only to find themselves surrounded by smart devices on the streets, wondering if they've accidentally traveled to another dimension, leading to many comical situations...

This scene made him, an old-fashioned relic from the old era, deeply aware of the fact that he was getting old.

"There's nothing strange about it..."
