Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"Why...I can't understand..."

"…There are differences in the perception of individual attributes, and this machine cannot make a judgment…"

The Ex-Machina who first raised the question ended up in a situation of logical error because of his own question, and he muttered to himself...

At this time, Hubie came up and showed off the mechanical parts on his body, as if to emphasize that he was also an Ex-Machina.

"Shinji... is an extremely special individual. He cannot be judged using conventional knowledge..."

"…Once this machine wanted to have a heart that existed independently of the machine's power, and ended up being disconnected from the mainframe."

"During this period, this machine has observed many races, but the result is that each race is created by the gods they belong to, so they are all affected by the [Old Deus]... But humans are different..."

"This race does not have strong strength, nor does it have amazing wisdom. Even its internal unity needs to be considered."

"But they are the first intelligent life forms to appear in this world. They have extremely complex thinking activities. Even in certain periods, this power that cannot be expressed can allow them to achieve things that are completely contrary to common sense, but are real!"

“…Is that the [heart] you mentioned?”

Hubie nodded slightly, then looked at Shinji and Chloe behind him, and suddenly laughed as if relieved:

"This is something that is difficult to describe. It is something that will only emerge unconsciously after a long period of contact with humans... and now Shubi has found the existence of [heart] from Shinji..."

"The current Hubie is no longer that uc207Pr4f57t9, but a Hubie that is independent of the [Ex-Machina] as a whole, a Hubie that can do whatever he wants without accepting orders!"

"..."

The faces of the Ex-Machinas around him were still expressionless, but the smile from the heart on Shuvi's face was reflected in the eyes of those flowing digital shadows...

This image not only shocked them, but was also transmitted to the eyes of every individual of the Ex-Machina through the [neural network].

At this moment, in a cave on the mainland, several huge semi-humanoid mechanical devices are connected by dense black data cables... Collecting, analyzing, and directing all information and conveying instructions to each [connected body] has always been their mission.

But this is still a response to the current situation, not a task they take the initiative to complete... Perhaps apart from upgrading the system and allowing themselves to continue to evolve, they have never taken the initiative to do anything...

But... this picture sent from the Thirteenth Division's [Connected Body] caused a wave of ripples in their hearts that had never been turbulent...

Is that... desire?

……

"…Data synchronization completed, new instructions issued…"

"Is it coming..."

Shinji and the other two looked at the Ex-Machinas who were suddenly stunned, and realized that the other party had made their choice. Now it was time to witness the result...

Then, under their somewhat nervous gazes, the alert Ex-Machinas on the opposite side put down their weapons one after another, and their bodies floated in the air and moved to the sides.

From the innermost part, an Ex-Machina with a girl-like appearance and blue and white gradient hair came out, and came to Shuvi and said:

"…I am the commander of the 13th [Cluster]. We have understood your wishes. I will now represent all members of the [Cluster] to accept your proposal."

“…success…success!”

"Hmm...it seems so..."

Seeing the other party's friendly attitude, Chloe immediately exclaimed happily, while Shinji stared at the petite back of Hubie... Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was unexpectedly good...

Seeing this, Hubie immediately walked over and shook the other person's outstretched hand.

"... Then let's start the battle plan..."

"…Um!"

……

"Roar!"

“…Ignorant monkey, I will no longer be careless from now on. I will let you perish along with this area!”

Dazzling highlights accumulated in the black dragon's mouth, and the destructive dragon breath was about to shoot down... Suddenly, dozens of diamond-shaped space cracks opened up around the black dragon, and an Ex-Machina flew out from each crack, immediately surrounding it...

These robot mice actually dare to come back! ?

"Om..."

…not good!

Thorsius had a grim expression on his face, he was so busy dealing with the human below that he didn't expect to be ambushed by the Ex-Machina here, which also resulted in him being in a released state and having no time to deal with the magic circle surrounding him.

"【Dian Kai】…"

“…[Speed ​​Limit Violation]”

"!"

A blinding white light flashed, and then a large aurora-like photon impact hit Thorsius...

"boom!!!"

[Speed ​​Control Violation] All of Diankai's weapons are transformed into highly concentrated spirit particles and then released. Normal creatures - even elves - will be killed instantly if they come into contact with them.

However, the enemy this time was not ordinary. Even when facing dozens of Ex-Machinas releasing moves together, he could only barely break a few of the opponent's scales. However...

The release of dragon breath was interrupted, and in the thick fog caused by the high-pressure [Elf] explosion, a pair of murderous vertical pupils lit up.

Thorsius tore through the thick fog with an angry look on his face, turned his body and swung his iron whip-like dragon tail towards the group of Ex-Machinas. Even though this step was taken into account in the battle calculations, the Ex-Machinas who dodged the attack were still blown to pieces by the air waves brought by the dragon's tail.

But before the other party could make the next move, he suddenly felt a very familiar feeling above his head...

“…That’s it!”

"…Everyone, prepare for battle! [Pseudo-classic? Yan Long Xiao] is charging…"

"How is it possible! Is that Lord Yanlong's [Breaking Roar]!?"

Above his head, a total of 21 Ex-Machinas, including Shuvi and all the remaining [Fighters], were forming a circle-like formation, aiming their weapons at the center of the circle...

At this time, Hubie was floating there, with the muzzle pointed at the black dragon below. A ball of light filled with the aura of destruction condensed in front of the ring, and the [Pseudo-classic? Dragon's Roar] jointly released by 21 Mechas began to enter the charging stage.

"…No, it's impossible. How can a mere Ex-Machina replicate the Dragon King's Roar? It's just a trick!"

Thorsius calmed down instantly at this critical moment. Although that feeling was indeed that of [Breaking Roar], its power was far less than the real thing.

Moreover, even if it is the real thing, it has a pre-release swing that cannot be ignored. These arrogant people actually dared to launch an attack in front of him openly. They are simply courting death!

The space around him twisted, and Thorsius instantly rushed upwards at a terrifying speed, intending to kill the opponent completely before the opponent finished charging.

"Charge ready...23%..."

"…Roar!"

"…Charge…38%…"

“…die!”

“…51%…65%…82%…No! It’s too late…I’m kidding…”

Just when the black dragon was about to hit him, Hubie's anxious expression suddenly changed, and he smiled back at the other party playfully...

"!?"

“…Heavenly Hand Power!”

The next moment, the battle group formed by the Ex-Machina disappeared instantly, and was replaced by the purple giant, holding the giant bow in his hand...

"This is!"

Thorsius's mind didn't react at once, but he clearly felt that familiar breath suddenly coming from below him.

He looked back blankly, and the attack that had accumulated energy actually ran behind him...

"You dare to look around when fighting with me? You have never seen the underworld! (bushi)"

Shinji bared his big white teeth, looking at the big black dragon in front of him with a kind face... He had been reluctant to use this move because he wanted to seize the opportunity to strike and win, and they had just studied the opponent's real weakness...

"Rumble..."

Deafening thunder roared from the sky, and blue-white lightning wrapped around Susanoo's body, spreading all the way to the giant bow to form a huge lightning arrow.

"Next, see if your dragon scales can still defend against my divine arrow... Indra's arrow!"

The lightning arrows shot out with a crackling sound, and hit the flying black dragon head-on. The extremely hard dragon scales were no longer as ineffective as before, but were directly shattered into pieces...

"Ahhh!!!"

The powerful impact force rushed the opponent back in the original direction. If it hit the ground like this, the attack would inevitably be deflected, and the opponent might not be killed in one blow...

"Charging ready... 100%... Charging complete, [Pseudo-classic? Yan Long Xiao]!"

Another beam of blazing fire rushed up from below, hitting the figure that was blown away by the lightning arrow. The two attacks directly trapped Thorsius in the air and made him unable to move.

“Ahhhhhh!!! Damn it!!!”

Shinji didn't make any unnecessary movements, but confidently crossed his arms over his chest, looking coldly at the black dragon roaring in pain below...

[The method of killing the dragon spirits... is difficult, but not impossible...]

[As long as I use a powerful attack to break the scales on its body, and then break through its tough skin... and finally destroy the strongest object in the world... the dragon's bones...]

"Ahhhh!!!"

[As long as the above three steps are completed, even if the dragon spirit's defense is completely broken, then the next step is to inject one's own energy into the opponent's body, and the ability to converge time will be counterproductive, infinitely expanding this alien energy, and the dragon spirit will be destroyed because of one's own strength...]
