once . And it just happened to pierce the tower . ”
Kristoph explained mournfully .
“It can’t be…!?”
“Could it be a coincidence…”
“No! Don’t you know that His Majesty is currently there in order to analyze Michelle’s body structure!?”
Kristoph nodded at the shouting scientist .
“Yes . Thankfully, Alvin is also there, in case Michelle gets violent . But I am still worried about His Majesty . I’m going to return . You all continue down south and see if any of the resistance have survived . ”
“Yes! Understood!”
“General, I doubt there are any survivors . ”
Kristoph agreed .
With the violent power that defeated the Ether Ring Barrier in front of them, what could the resistance have done to save themselves?
Still, it was dangerous to presume .
And so Kristoph decided to hammer in the final nail .
“Hmm . But don’t let your guard down . Once you are sure of their annihilation, you will continue on to the second part of the plan, as scheduled . Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
“Understood!”
“Understood!”
Kristoph nodded with satisfaction . Then he exited the ship and flew into the air .
He was headed for South City .
It was 100 km away, but Kristoph could reach it in the blink of an eye .
“Now, the time has come for me to finally accomplish my greatest wish . ”
“Yes, Lord Fudora . ”
The joy welled up within him .
Fudora suppressed it as his hand rose towards Michelle’s chest .
He would take the fruit of wisdom .
Fudora had stolen the seat of the Emperor Almsbine and become the most powerful in the land .
And now, in order to learn the secret of the Mobius System that he had dreamed of for so long, he had captured Michelle .
The Mobius System–it was an astonishing system created by the genius scientist, Almsbine .
By some practice that wasn’t nuclear, he had created an unending cycle of eternal energy .
Humanity’s dream . The answer to all problems regarding energy .
“Al, your father, was much too kind . He feared sacrifice and hindered the advancement of science . And yet with that brain, he would have succeeded when he was still young . But he feared the results and abandoned the completion of the Mobius System . It was unfortunate . As his junior, I was very disappointed . ”
Fudora talked as if to himself .
Michelle had not noticed the change that had come over her adjutant, and she had come in for maintenance after the battle .
When she did this, her brain’s features were switched to protection mode, and she was put into a sleep that she was unable to wake from by herself .
After that, he just needed to search for the Mobius system hidden within her body—it was exactly as Fudora had planned .
Almsbine had performed modification surgery on four people himself . The four cyborgs with the highest combat ability—Machinery Four .
Three of them had the Star System, which was the final form of nuclear fusion .
As the name implied, they had small stars fixed into their bodies .
They were now incredible beings that were able to supply an entire city with energy, just by themselves .
However, the Mobius System was on a different level .
It allowed a single person to provide energy for a whole planet .
Fudora had supported Almsbine with all his body and soul in hopes of this dream being fulfilled .
However, right before its completion, Almsbine had abandoned his research forever .
Fudora could not accept it .
Had this system been completed, it would have meant the realization of a world where all of humanity could live happily . Knowing this, he was unable to give up .
‘Sir, why are you doing this!?’
‘It’s too dangerous . This is too much power for human hands . One mistake, and it could destroy the entire universe…’
While he was unsatisfied with this, Almsbine would not change his mind . Fudora had no choice but to pretend to agree with him .
However, that did not last .
He had developed Biocomputers for Bionoids which boasted computing abilities that surpassed quantum computers .
With this ability and Fudora’s mind, they could surpass the genius . He should be able to analyze the Mobius System and lead it to completion .
“Sir…that dream we once talked about . I will finish it myself . ”
Fudora muttered . And then he got to work…
He had decided to use the Six Tyrant as a way of turning the eyes of those old scientists away from him .
There was no point in having a weapon that you could not use .
And so it was also to gather data .
Besides, once the Mobius System was complete, the Star System would become a thing of the past .
That was what Fudora thought, and so he gladly gave his permission .
Now he would be able to concentrate on his work without anyone disturbing him .
His hand sunk into Michelle’s chest and connected to her nervous system . He was interfering with the arithmetic element connect to her brain, and then he touched the secret door .
What lay beyond it, was the light of hope .
That was what Fudora believed as he opened it…
Perhaps if the timing had been slightly different, things would not have turned out the way that they did .
Had he been better prepared, he might have been able to do something .
However, the worst thing happened at the worst time .
It happened just as the door opened . As if the devil were smiling at him .
“…Hmm!?”
It happened in an instant .
Fudora detected energy of incredible density . The kind that instinctively filled him with horror .
At the same time, Alvin, who stood by in case of an emergency, began to move .
He created an Ether Ring Barrier as if to protect the capsule that Fudora and Michelle were inside .
