But there's no need to understand, and there's no way to ask.

At this moment, Mahiro was already standing at the very edge of the dock, taking out that strangely shaped pistol again, and surrounded by glowing... no, starlight-like points of light.

"...So beautiful."

This was the most beautiful scene Chizu Natsuyo had ever seen in her life. Of course, the person surrounded by starlight was also very handsome.

But then she saw the muzzle of Mahiro's pistol suddenly change.

Just like in science fiction, when weapons are reconstructed, a pistol is rebuilt into a sniper rifle, but the barrel is revealed in a semi-transparent form.

"Tsk, if Tatsuya hadn't installed an aiming aid on my CAD, it would have been really difficult to cast spells at this distance using a general-purpose magic machine."

Mahiro muttered to himself, then closed his eyes.

"Multiple Observations"—Unfold!

"The Realm of Consciousness"—Expand!

"Eye of the Spirit" - Activate!

A domain is constructed through multiple observations, consciousness is projected within the domain, and then the Eye of the Spirit observes it.

finally--

"Tracking the Intelligence Dimension"—Begin!

However, the next second, his brows furrowed and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Untraceable, unanalyzable.

To be precise, he can see with his copying magic eye, but the human brain alone cannot analyze it.

Because Scorpio's genetic makeup is extremely complex, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of genetic traits mixed together, and even the elemental composition of Scorpio is outrageous, almost covering half of the periodic table!

This doesn't even include a detailed list of the isotopes.

How could such an illogical creature exist?

Even more unexpectedly, one day they were defeated by their own hardware.

"If that's the case, then let's try another way..."

Strategic-level magic – “Abyss” – activated!

A powerful burst of magic erupted from Yotsuba Mahiro's body, making him almost turn into light.

Immediately afterwards, the sea began to shake, as if a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake had struck!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Scorpio began to sink into the sea!

A hemispherical water crater with a diameter of three kilometers has formed around it, and it is swallowing up Scorpio.

The waving tentacles, which could easily stir up huge waves with a casual sway, couldn't even create a ripple when they hit the water's surface.

Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling cold air spread across the sea.

From a distance, it looks like a mist brought by a ghost ship sailing on the sea, but the mist freezes everything in its path.

Even turbulent seawater will turn into glacial land.

However, the operations headquarters saw the truth in the footage transmitted by the drone.

"It was...just one person?"

"How exactly did they do that? Are they also mechanically modified soldiers from the New Human Creation Project?"

"If it could be done to this extent, wouldn't that be a bit too exaggerated...?"

...

The ministers who had been panicking and preparing to flee have now all fallen silent, their eyes fixed on the figure on the screen.

The Holy Emperor and Mu Geng had already recognized the figure walking on the glacier, releasing icy mist.

It's definitely Yotsuba Mahiro!

"So, this is the miracle he was talking about?"

If that's the case, they might actually be able to defeat Scorpio in Phase 5!

At the very least, the Holy Emperor prayed for this in his heart.

Even the most composed person among them, Kikunojo Tendo, remained silent, staring intently at the figure on the screen.

However, whether these feelings stem from doubt, curiosity, or amazement, they are all valid.

But one idea will not change, and that is—

We/the Tokyo area are saved.

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

Frost is spreading.

In a very short time, the entire Tokyo Bay was frozen, along with the enormous Scorpio constellation!

However, although this level of "Ice Mist Divine Realm" is vast, it has not yet reached absolute zero. Even if it is enough to freeze seawater into an unbreakable glacier, it cannot freeze the Gastrea of ​​Stage Five.

However, being able to restrict it for a short time is enough.

Yotsuba Mahiro activated his flight magic, leaping onto Scorpio's head and pulling out the syringe made of ultra-holmium alloy.

At the same time, the needle was plunged in while the "molecular cutting" technique broke through Scorpio's hard armor.

The blood, glowing like fireflies, rapidly filled the syringe. The writhing flesh was healing at an incomprehensible speed, resonating with the blood inside the syringe, seemingly wanting to devour it as well.

However, although Stage 5 is immune to the magnetic field emitted by the super holmium alloy, it can be easily suppressed by just a tube of blood.

"My goal has been achieved, so it's time to say goodbye, little sister. I'm sorry, I couldn't save you."

Yotsuba Mahiro carefully put away the syringe, knelt down, and gently stroked Scorpio's head while whispering something to him.

That's right, he has traced the true origin of Scorpio. She is actually the younger of a pair of twin sisters who became Scorpio after undergoing the experiment in Seven Star Village.

The older sister also transformed into a Stage 5 Gastrea, namely the Libra, also known as the Plague King!

Although it sounds absurd, this is the reality of this world, the cruelest and most tragic reality.

At the same time, Mahiro had already pressed the muzzle of the CAD gun against Scorpio's skin, and that surging light of thought reappeared.

"Cocytus" - activated.

Scorpio, who was about to break free of the ice, suddenly stopped struggling, as if it had been frozen again.

But not so.

The Lament for the Styx, belonging to the category of mental interference magic, is the magic that once earned Yotsuba the title of "Ruler of the River of Oblivion".

Unlike the Ice Mist Divine Realm, which freezes the body, the Lamenting Styx is a magic that freezes the spirit. The body will stop and stiffen as the spirit "stills".

The interaction between mind and body may also lead to the crystallization of parts of the body.

A frozen spirit will not awaken again, nor can it perceive death or command the body to die.

For such a massive Gastrea, this is a magic that is practically its natural enemy.

But that's not enough; at the very least, the Scorpio's physical form must be erased.

So he flew high into the sky, hovering three thousand meters above the ground.

"Strategic-level magic—'Ice Age'—activated!"

The magical "Ice Age" represents the ultimate expression of the Ice Mist Divine Realm.

If the ice mist realm composed of liquid nitrogen can reach -210 degrees Celsius, then the glacial period could reach the lowest point in thermodynamics—-273.15 degrees Celsius.

Within this one-kilometer radius, all molecules cease movement and infinitely approach a state of stillness.

This can be considered as an ultimate magic he adapted by borrowing the magic that Miyuki was good at and through the computational domain of his brain. It is no less powerful than mass explosion and heavy metal explosion, which are large-scale destructive magics.

"Then comes the final step—the fourth phase transition—activate it!"

While people were still marveling at why Tokyo Bay and Scorpio were frozen in place, and while the operations headquarters were still discussing how to dispose of the Scorpio corpse—

A piercing alarm sounded suddenly.

It's a strong radiation alarm.

Suddenly, a blazing ball of light appeared above the Scorpio constellation on the screen.

The radiance it emitted was like the sun, dispelling the darkness of the Tokyo area, and the sphere of light seemed to be gradually expanding!

When it expanded to its limit, the intense electromagnetic radiation destroyed the drone hovering in mid-air.

As the sphere of light devoured it, Scorpio gradually dissipated.

The "fourth phase transition" is not some profound magic; it is simply the conversion of matter into a plasma state.

In such extremely cold conditions, the plasma ball also emits extremely high heat, enough to destroy all matter.

Even if the recovery ability of Stage 5 is strong, it is still within the scope of biology and cannot recover under such massive thermal expansion and contraction. Both the body and cells will be completely destroyed.

Returning to nothingness.

As the dawn broke across the horizon, Chizu Natsuyo, standing on the harbor pier, watched the Scorpio constellation gradually fade under its sun-like radiance, and murmured to herself:

"...Is this the miracle you were talking about? It is indeed a very beautiful miracle...just like you."

Chapter 77 The Black of Kisaragi and the White of the Holy Emperor

"You've really gone too far, my dear Darling Two."

"Really? It's pretty average, I didn't even use much force."

In the basement of the morgue at Gouda University Hospital, Yotsuba Mahiro enjoys coffee brewed with an alcohol lamp in the air-conditioned comfort.

Opposite him, Sumire Muroto, as always, sat there in a white lab coat over a tight-fitting outfit, one hand supporting her chin, tossing her long, wavy hair as if teasing him, and said with interest:

"The entire naval fleet was destroyed, the army suffered 30% casualties, and due to the strong electromagnetic radiation, numerous electronic devices were damaged, resulting in economic losses of tens of billions. Furthermore, because the glaciers in Tokyo Bay cannot melt, the climate of the Tokyo area has undergone semi-permanent changes..."

Sumire Muroto stirred the bubbling coffee in her beaker and recounted the losses of the Scorpio battle as if she knew them by heart.

"Really? It's only a small loss. I thought it would bring the Tokyo area to a state of near paralysis."

Yotsuba Mahiro clicked his tongue in regret, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or speaking from the heart.

"But then again, since it's a miracle, isn't it normal to pay a price? There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's better than being killed by Scorpio, right? Besides... paying such a small price to exchange for a Gastrea of ​​the Zodiac is a huge win no matter how you look at it."

"Heh...a miracle?"

Sumire Muroto smiled meaningfully, then turned to him with her eyes, "If killing Scorpio was a miracle you created, then what about that child? Whose miracle was that?"

Following the doctor's gaze, one could see a naked young girl lying on a cold dissection table not far away.

She appeared to be about six or seven years old. Like the other abandoned children of the curse, she looked very thin. If there was anything that made her look different from the other children, it was that she had short, blue hair that covered her eyes.

The child was found at sea by Mahiro after Scorpio's body perished, and he then packed him up along with the syringe and sent him here.

"With 630,000 types of gastrulation factors in his body and an erosion rate exceeding 50%, he is still able to maintain a human form. Young man, you have truly created an incredible miracle."

Sumire Muroto got up and went to the dissection table. Her fingertips gently traced the girl's body, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

This girl is even more astonishing than the Scorpio who was killed.

According to Mahiro, the girl is the remains left behind after Scorpio was destroyed.

But both she and Yotsuba Mahiro knew very well that this girl was Scorpio herself!

Although it was hard to believe, even Sumire Muroto was taken aback when she first came to this conclusion.

"How is she doing now?"

"Currently, his vital signs are stable, the rate of infection by gastrovirus has not shown any signs of continuing to rise, and the damaged nerves in his brain are being repaired, but I don't know exactly how long it will take for him to wake up."

The results given by Sumire Muroto were almost identical to those he had analyzed. As for the reason for her unconsciousness, it was also because her mind had been frozen due to the influence of the River Styx.

But strangely enough, the girl's spirits were beginning to recover.

Perhaps the vitality of life in Stage Five is just that powerful, even the spirit can be revitalized...

Or perhaps it was because he bestowed a miracle upon the Holy Emperor that the world reciprocated with a miracle...
