Start in Terra, immortal

Inside the cockpit of the Geborg, Juvi Neal was unaware of Bakal's words; his attention was drawn to a recording playing in the cockpit.

"Gepgar should be fixed now. Thanks for your hard work, Curio!"

"Activating Gaboga is something only a descendant of Taneba can do. I wonder how long it will take him?"

"I don't know. If it's the person who inherited Taneba's name, they should be able to solve it quickly."

"Yes, then...feed me? Can you hear me? If you can hear me, remember to teach Bakal a lesson!"

"I know that you people over there have suffered because of our decision. But there's one thing I still have to say! What happened back then wasn't just Taneba's choice; it was a choice we all made together. So, Taneba wasn't a traitor. That's all I want to say."

Upon hearing this, Juvi Nier was stunned into silence. By the time he came to his senses, Bakal had already rushed over.

Taneba, not a traitor... The violent impact caused the entire cockpit to shake, and the aching sensation transmitted through the mental link made Jowie Neil dizzy.

Bakal's attacks rained down on Geppetto's machine like a storm, each strike carrying the power to shatter mountains and rocks. Each blow forced Geppetto back several steps.

"As expected of the Explosive Dragon King!" Contrary to his usual behavior, after being knocked back by Bakal once again, Juvi Neil instead controlled Geboga to throw a punch in retaliation.

The turn of events happened so fast that Bakkar was caught off guard and landed a topspin right on his chin.

"Pah!" Bakal spat out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with a few broken teeth. "As expected of your ultimate weapon, which you placed so much hope in, it does indeed have some power!"

"Again!"

Seeing Bakal charge at him again, Jowie Niel could only suppress his dizziness and ignore Gaiboga's injuries as he went straight to meet him.

The two enormous creatures exchanged blows, each punch landing squarely.

Gaiboga was not equipped with large-caliber long-range weapons, while Bakal chose to conserve his energy, secretly making plans.

Beneath the two colossal objects, Irena had already sent people to meet the exhausted adventurer. The entire Allied Forces were surprised by this unexpected turn of events involving Geboga.

"The dragon slayer is installed, and all preparations are complete. Thanks to this unexpected variable, the chances of victory are much greater!"

Losha Jürgen's voice came through Irena's radio.

"Very good, stay put and await my command!" Irena calmly and efficiently issued the order. "Now is not the time."

"Thump—thump—" The sound of the giant object landing became the main theme of the entire battlefield, and the movements of the two tall figures captivated everyone's attention.

"Boom—Crack!"

After a series of collisions, one of Gaboga's arms was uprooted by Bakal and slammed heavily against the palace wall.

Despite being a mechanical creation, Geboga was defeated by Bakal's flesh and blood body—especially since Bakal was currently seriously injured.

After losing an arm, the intense pain transmitted through the mental link overwhelmed Júvier, the pilot. He could no longer concentrate on stabilizing the Geborg, which was gradually losing its balance due to the missing arm. The mechanical creation crashed to the ground, rendered incapable of combat.

After seeing that Gaboga could not rise again, Bakal looked again at the adventurer who was recuperating at the back of the formation.

"O honed blade, remember what I told you. Although you haven't shown enough strength yet, I've already seen your potential. Even greater challenges await you in the future."

You have already obtained the power to carry my will in other dimensions, so I will leave that power behind to guide you as well. Prepare yourself, adventurer!

I choose how I leave!

Having said this, Bakal flapped his wings and soared into the sky. Light began to appear from his mouth.

"Now!" Seeing Bakal preparing to take off, Irena immediately ordered over the radio, "Dragon Slayer, activate!"

The moment the order was given, several pre-positioned particle cannons emerged from the ground around the palace. Their muzzles tracked Bakal in the air while simultaneously charging.

These particle cannons are clearly not the technology of the existing celestial realm. The amount of energy required to fire a single shot is unbelievable, otherwise it would not require such a long charging time.

Bakal, who was also gathering strength in the air, clearly noticed these suddenly appearing special weapons, but he ignored them and remained hovering above the palace, continuing to mobilize the last of his strength.

After accumulating energy for a long time, the particle cannons, spread in multiple directions, fired high-energy rays one after another, hitting Bakal in the air without missing a beat.

The massive flow of energy was released entirely onto Bakal, without a single drop wasted, gradually forming a sphere that enveloped him.

"Did it work?"

Seeing that the dragon slayer had successfully hit the target, the hearts of everyone in the allied forces were in their throats, and they began to look forward to the result they had expected.

Only the adventurer who had fought Bakal remained grave. He knew very well that with this level of strength, he was simply not capable of defeating Bakal.

Soon, amidst the smoke and dust from the violent explosion in the air, a purple light appeared.

As expected, Bakal's figure gradually came into view, without a single new wound on his body, as if the shelling had never affected him.

"What?!"

Despair and astonishment intertwined and spread throughout the entire Celestial Alliance. Even Commander Irena was no exception.

Bakal had exhausted his last means of attack, but his charge continued. The dragon in the sky was about to become a nightmare that the celestial beings would never forget!

Just as Irena picked up the radio, preparing to reassure the troops and readjust the battle plan, Bakal, who was hovering in the air, moved.

A purple beam of light erupted from his abyss-like maw, sweeping from his feet to the edge of the heavens in an instant. With another flap of his wings, the purple beam of light returned from the other end of the heavens to Bakal's feet, and continued to extend to the very edge of the heavens.

From the outside, Bakal's attack drew a cross across the entire Celestial Continent.

Terrifying explosions occurred in the area streaked with purple light. This wasn't limited to surface structures; it spread even underground, eventually penetrating the entire continent.

The purple beam of light extinguished at Bakal's lips. Along with it, Bakal's eternally burning golden eyes also went out.

"Ugh~" Bakal let out a groan of exhaustion. The flapping wings behind him stopped immediately, and the huge dragon body could no longer stay in the sky and began to fall to the ground.

At the same time, the magic circle on the back of his hand began to glow, gradually expanding from his hand to cover Bakal's entire massive dragon body.

Just as Bakal was about to touch the ground, the magic circle activated instantly. Before everyone's eyes, Bakal's body transformed into light, which ultimately converged into a single point.

What people with slightly better eyesight can see in the end is a strange vortex that gradually shrinks into a single point.
