Up to this point, Mikado Shiten had tried his best to remain calm, but everything has its limits.
Although it's not usually noticeable, Mikado Shikuten is ultimately an ancient deity born from Indian mythology.
It might be criticized as outdated and should be discarded, but in his time and civilization, it was not allowed for a son to speak to his father in this way.
The God-King finally snapped at his son's disrespect.
"There's absolutely no need to escalate this into a question-and-answer session. For a rebellious son who's gone astray, the right thing to do is to give him a good beating and then give him a proper lecture."
The God of War raised his own Vajra, causing the entire sky to roar.
When Arjuna saw that his father was serious, he immediately released another thunderous arrow.
In an instant, thousands of bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky, and the whole world let out a painful wail. The two people standing on thunderclouds released the majesty of gods in a world that could not tolerate them.
All that remained was Hisafuto Ayatori, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, and couldn't even remind the God King to restrain himself. She looked at the plane at her feet, riddled with holes, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.
Chapter 747 Twins?
Izayoi Sakamaki followed closely behind Fies Reis. The silver-white knight girl nimbly darted through the stone forest. The terrain greatly blocked the impact and heat blowing in from the direction of the battlefield, but it did not slow down the girl's progress in the slightest.
Izayoi's physical abilities are at least twice that of Fies Reis, but he struggles to perform at his best in this terrain. The overly solid rocks prevent him from charging ahead as usual, and he ends up being left far behind.
Even a proud and arrogant young man, whose motto was "Heaven will not create humans more powerful than itself," had to admit that the other party's technology surpassed that of humans.
At the same time, the increasingly intense battlefield music made him realize that he could no longer continue like this.
[Hey, Masked Lady, aren't you here yet?]
During the journey, Izayoi also learned how to use the other party's gift. It was the kind of thing that was common in various fantasy works: "just silently recite it in your heart." If you're not skilled at it, it's easy to reveal your thoughts.
Izayoi used it quite skillfully.
[...I don't know.]
However, he received this response from the front.
All I can sense is the general direction. While distance does affect intensity, it's not yet sufficient to formulate a formula for calculating distance.
[Oh... I've heard of some kind of connection between twins, but this is truly incredibly advanced.]
【…】
Izayoi's sudden remark caused Fies Reis to fall silent.
This seems to confirm the correctness of Izayoi's words.
After all, according to the boy's mental association, the face of the guy in front of him looked exactly like Kuon Asuka. Combined with what she just said about being able to sense Kuon Asuka, no one would believe that the two of them were not related.
However, it's definitely not as simple as just twins or sisters.
Izayoi was quite interested in this, but she also knew that now was not the time to investigate such matters. It was enough to confirm that the other party and Asuka were indeed related and that the other party could point out the right direction.
Although the other party has not given a direct response, Izayoi can now roughly confirm it.
Therefore, he did not continue the pursuit.
On the other hand, since we can't confirm the distance, running like this isn't a solution. After all, following this route, we might even brush past the edge of the battlefield... Taking a detour would be too much of a waste of time.
Izayoi abruptly changed the subject.
After ensuring his companion's safety, he still had to deal with Azdakha... and the knight in front of him probably had no obligation to help him search for people, so dragging things out here wasn't a solution.
"...Do you have any other ideas?"
【ha……】
In response to the knight girl's question, Izayoi smiled, stopped, and picked up the pebbles on the ground.
It's unclear what's wrong with this continent. Despite its unusually solid structure, it seems to be trying to prove its normality, just like any other landmass, with plenty of sand and gravel. However, this does make it easier for Izayoi to move around.
How will you know if you don't try?
With that shout, Izayoi hurled a stone with all her might—at the white-winged girls who were about to fly over her head.
The stone, traveling at speeds exceeding the third cosmic velocity, precisely passed through the middle of a Skywing squad, broke through the dark clouds gathered by the war, and disappeared into the horizon.
Naturally, this also attracted the attention of the Skywing species.
Just after Izayoi and Fies Reis met up, three Skywings appeared before them with rather unpleasant expressions.
However, the Skywing race from the non-Northern District never seemed to have a happy expression, so neither Izayoi nor the other paid much attention to it, and Izayoi even raised her hand directly.
"Yo."
"Any instructions?"
In response to the boy's greeting, the leader of the Skywing race returned the greeting with a rather bland question that seemed to be spoken directly into their ears.
However, this response brought a smile to Izayoi's face, and even Fies was somewhat surprised. It wasn't until Izayoi looked at her that she realized what was happening, and after a pause, she pointed in a direction.
"My companion should be on this route."
Izayoi, with a serious expression, spoke at the opportune moment.
"Please move us there after you've searched for us."
To be honest, Izayoi really didn't want to ask these Heavenly Army soldiers for help, even though he knew they would most likely grant him reasonable requests.
The boy habitually preferred to rely on himself rather than owe favors. On the other hand, he wasn't really sure whether the Heavenly Army's efforts to spare manpower to assist him in a battle of this scale would significantly impact the continuation of the battle.
However, the safety of his companions ultimately prevailed in his mind. It seemed that it would take a long time for Fies to lead the way... In the previous footage, Izayoi hadn't even been able to see the entire island, so he naturally couldn't determine its size.
The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous it becomes for Asuka's side, not to mention the same for the Heavenly Army. If Izayoi could join earlier, they could alleviate some of the pressure.
When facing humanity's ultimate trial, the difference between having humans and not having humans is enormous.
The very fact that Azdaha's Avesta is ineffective against humans gives the Celestials countless more tactical options.
But before that, Izayoi had to personally confirm the safety of her companions.
The Skywing race didn't say much or even ask any questions. They simply gestured with their eyes to their two companions, who understood and took off again.
"It may take some time, and in this environment, it is difficult for us to confirm the individual human beings on the ground."
Izayoi nodded in understanding.
At the current temperature, the Skywing species' ability to perceive the energy of ordinary organisms is probably at least half-ruined.
"How is the battle going?"
Having a moment of leisure, Izayoi leaned against a nearby stone pillar and started chatting with the Skywing.
"Our losses have now reached nearly 30%."
The answer they received left both Izayoi and Fies Reis speechless.
Thirty percent may seem like less than half, but in ancient times, it would have been enough to bring an army to the brink of collapse. For the Heavenly Army, such losses were extremely rare and devastating.
"However, Azdakha also lost a lot of blood."
Just then, Tianyi changed the subject, his tone becoming slightly proud.
Making Azdaqah bleed is indeed something to be proud of.
"Oh?"
Izayoi raised an eyebrow, and said something rather poignant: "Making an enemy bleed a little" was probably the best news he had heard since returning to the Little Garden.
"That's really impressive. Who's the commander here now...?"
Upon hearing Izayoi's question, the delicate, silvery-white eyebrows of the Skywing twitched.
"The one in charge of commanding the front-line battles is an incarnation of Lord Bishamonten."
Izayoi immediately realized that the Skywings' reaction implied that the reason they obeyed him so readily was because of the commander.
After all, when it comes to the incarnations of Vaishravana, they were somewhat familiar with him.
On the battlefield once known as the City of Blazing Flames, a woman bearing the name of the God of War, Bishamonten, lay wounded, her feet treading upon the remains of countless warriors, yet she still raised her spear high, aiming it at the three-headed monster before her. Behind her, countless celestial warriors performed the same action.
A woman named Uesugi Kenshin took a powerful step forward, leading the Heavenly Army in what was now an endless series of attacks against Azdakha.
Chapter 748 The Flag Raised Again
Uesugi Kenshin resisted the urge to blink, letting the blood on his forehead flow down through his eyes.
Her enemies did not allow her such leeway.
As the embodiment of a war god, Lady Uesugi knew very well that if even one eye lost its sight for a moment, the monster could use this to create a more advantageous attack for itself.
Having just clashed with his opponent, Uesugi Kenshin was convinced that his opponent possessed such capabilities.
She had seen many battlefields, many of which were veritable meat grinders, including the famous early stages of the dystopian war, which she commanded.
But this so-called meat grinder usually grinds mostly the flesh of the enemy. This was the first time Uesugi Kenshin had seen the Heavenly Army being harvested like weeds.
In the past, Azdakha was mostly managed by Ouroboros. It had been a long time since the Celestials last fought against Azdakha, and at that time the focus was on defense and preserving strength. However, now, in order to maintain a high-pressure offensive posture, an exaggerated scale of sacrifices has been achieved.
"What a mess we've been left with..."
Uesugi Kenshin smiled bitterly to himself.
She wasn't originally there to take command. Common sense tells you that no matter how high her status or how experienced she was, the Heavenly Army wouldn't let someone who had just returned to the Garden of the Dead and hadn't even figured out the situation take on this task.
However, the frontline command ship that the original leader was riding on had already been reduced to fragments in the void by the Overlord's halo.
The requirements for the frontline commander were to be able to instantly connect to the observatory and the Sky Garden, and to observe the target at the closest distance... that is, Azdakha's real-time information. This required high enough authority, strong enough strength, and the kind of tough life that the previous commander seemed to lack. In the end, this task fell to Uesugi Kenshin, who was originally just here to provide combat power as a favor.
She suspected she had been scammed, but unfortunately she had no evidence.
The current Daughter of War can only stabilize her position and weaken Azdakar as much as possible with minimal cost.
Facing the war god who cautiously aimed his weapon at him, the three-headed dragon, still bathed in the storm of fire from the heavenly army, mockingly bared its sharp fangs.
Is this the end, Heavenly Army's girl?
"Well……"
Uesugi Kenshin gritted his teeth inwardly.
Although I hate to admit it, the three-headed dragon is right.
Their initial attack was quite effective, but as time went on, the damage Azdakar was taking was decreasing every moment.
