Episode 291-The Great War (11)
“You’re making a golem using a black bull?”
“We did our own calculations. “With the power that the black bull possesses, we will definitely be able to create a strong golem.”
When the Eden forces were in the midst of preparing for war.
The magic engineers who moved to Eden visited Pia and made a suggestion. The idea was to convert battlebots into golems.
They had already confirmed what Battlebots were through interactions with existing residents, and were showing great interest in the electric circuit itself.
“Well, is that really possible?”
“It is possible to spread power everywhere, but there is not enough power to act as a medium. I think the elven shamans can fill it in.”
Pia was embarrassed, but they were full of confidence as they had already created an innovative invention called a magic steam engine. Serenian also listened to their proposal and agreed, thinking it was a challenge that wouldn’t be a bad thing to try.
“So what do you want to make? A golem on wheels?”
“The black bull will be used for charging. While charging like that, he got into an unexpected accident and was stranded in the middle of enemy territory. “I plan to write it then.”
“How on earth?”
“In case of emergency, it transforms like a golem. Imagine this. A golem will be born that is bigger and stronger than any other golem!”
They sparkled their eyes. Pia scratched her head because she didn’t know how efficient transformation was, but there were people, including Hans next to her, who were especially deeply moved by the word transformation.
“Anyway, I understand.”
After hearing the concept explained to them, Pia thought it was not impossible and picked up a cane.
Not only Pia was mobilized, but a shaman from a desert clan who created a sun stone and drastically increased the efficiency of the steam engine also participated to create ‘this’.
And when I activated the device for testing. They were amazed to see the battlebot wriggling before their eyes.
‘Big.’
At that time, even Pia was so surprised that her eyes widened. Pia, who tilted her head to the limit to see the huge body, took a step back when she saw that it had become a golem, completely different from the battlebot that was a wheeled tank.
“Oh, it’s a giant…!”
“It’s a giant golem!”
The same reaction erupted in the imperial army. They were so overwhelmed that they couldn’t even fight back when they saw the battlebot trying to transform in front of them.
“Hold on tight.”
“They were scared too.”
The golem, which was created using the battle bot’s battery as power, split into pre-divided parts and at the same time used the magic of the elves within it to absorb the ground and tree roots from the surrounding area to form its own body.
As the thick tree roots connecting the parts of the battle bot settled into place, it literally turned into a giant golem standing on two legs and pounding.
With one stomp, a force strong enough to shake the entire area was emitted.

The elves, who saw the imperial army scattering in panic, sat on top of the golem and grinned.
Golems made by the imperial army attacked, but the battlebots were much larger. With a single light kick, the heavy stone golems shattered and rolled on the floor, and many people died from the fragments.
“Step on that Orca!”
This is the third weapon prepared by Serenian.
According to the words of the elves controlling it, the golem raised its huge foot, which was made by flipping the wheel, and stepped on the Orca who was standing right in front of it, striking it to death.
It was a powerful attack that could crush anything as long as it hit the mark.
“Huh…?”
“It’s amazing. “All kinds of strange things are popping out.”
However, the golem’s attack did not reach Orca, who was just staring blankly at the giant feet falling to crush him.
Orca pulled out the second sword from her waist, and the cross-shaped slash from the sword split the golem’s entire huge body, starting from its legs.
‘Crazy bastard.’
The elves who fell from the battlebot that had been cut into pieces by a single blow chuckled and gritted their teeth.
Every human being must have limits, but Orca unleashed attacks of ridiculous power without limit, as if her stamina and mana were infinite.
“Your queen is completely mistaken. “Did you think that I would fall for your shallow tricks?”
“Hey, wasting time here like this is your defeat. “Because the elf allied forces are already heading to the imperial capital to capture the emperor.”
As Orca, holding two swords, approached, the elves grabbed his throbbing arm and provoked him by mentioning the main force that was storming into the imperial palace at this moment.
This too was planned. To shake up Orca and the Imperial Army.
“The empire is an empire in itself. “The emperor is the supreme king of the empire, but that doesn’t mean the order I created will collapse.”
“W-what!?”
But Orca’s grinning words shattered their expectations.
“What will the Queen think when she sees the heads of you who were put to death in a trivial operation?”
Orca raised his sword towards them. Just swing the sword down and all the elves will die.
“Huh.”
But at that moment. An intense thunderstorm rushed towards him, dividing the complex battlefield where the two sides were fighting each other.
“Elven Queen, Serenian!”
It was struck in one go, but it was powerful enough to make the hand holding the sword tingle. The power concentrated in one point was not the power created by a single arrow.
‘Definitely, with this.’
The fourth weapon prepared by Serenian for Orca. Huge aaa-sized batteries, brought along by her fairy ants, sat by her side.
She and her lightning spirit extracted enormous power from those batteries, which were larger than the barrel of a super heavy artillery gun, and used it as their own power.
A powerful and dazzling force, strong enough to create an intense lightning storm in the area, was contained in her arrow.
“Ugh.”
The arrow fired became a single bolt of lightning that selected and killed only the enemies, causing a huge explosion. Orca raised his sword to block it, but the aftermath alone was enough to engulf the surrounding imperial forces and devastate them.
Even though she was quite capable, she couldn’t even properly control herself from that power.
“That’s amazing. Is this the power your god gave you?”
Orca growled as she looked at her own hand, her veins bursting. She really had a talent for provocation, but this time she just kept her mouth shut and fired arrow after arrow.
[You must subdue it before it uses up all its power. Otherwise, your body won’t be able to withstand it]
Her lightning spirit, which evolved into a gigantic divine beast by absorbing her power, lent her power but also warned her.
Just as she said, her fingertips were starting to crumble little by little at this very moment.
‘The Orca itself is an order. Everything for just one. If you kill him, his order disappears. But not me. Even if I am gone… The order we have created so far will not disappear.’
Serenian made a decision. He was determined to sacrifice everything for everything.
“I really don’t like those eyes.”
Orca noticed this, crumpling her face. Because he’s already seen those eyes once.

“I just don’t understand.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why did the regent become so corrupt?”
“…Why don’t you know that?”
A peaceful rear area, different from the war zones where fierce fighting takes place. Renia, who was working herself to make the holy water that Orca had forced her to deliver, frowned at the grumbling bishop’s words.
“The Great War was chaos itself. At first glance, it seemed like we all banded together and fought, but that wasn’t the case. For some, the Great War was a justification for purges and an excuse for plunder. “He didn’t see the chaos itself.”
“Holy sh*t! Holy woman. Chaos is essential to who we are. Even the gods we serve were people who lived through that chaos.”
The bishop, who misunderstood that Lenia was taking Orca’s side, became angry and raised his voice. The pride of the church, which had been completely trampled by the authority of the empire, exploded.
Even they could not give up or resist because they had to serve the god who gave them grace.
“It is true that it is unfortunate. There are quite a few people who were killed unjustly. Did you know that people from the regent’s hometown also died like that? But I have to admit what I have to admit. “In the end, what he does is no different from that of the devil.”
“I also didn’t say that the regent’s actions were right. I only answered because you asked why. You’re right. He is no different from the devil. To bring his world under his control.”
“The person who was the hero’s lover did such a thing. Huh, indeed.”
The bishop mumbled, saying he couldn’t understand. When Renia heard those words, she made a strange expression. This is because she remembered the conversation she had with the hero in the past.
‘Nothing is perfect in the world. Did she say that the result of reconciliation is more important than the process of chaos? The regent probably knew. ‘The person who most disagrees with his ideology of wanting an iron-blooded dictatorship is the warrior.’
The warrior she remembers was a free man. Maybe it was because they came from a different world, but their way of thinking was different.
Orca was the polar opposite of the hero. If you think about it, it would be natural for a being who was corrupted to become the devil who will control the world to have animosity towards a being who was born with the mission of protecting the world.
“Then the bishop would like the regent to be defeated in this war.”
“Sigh, why not? But honestly, I don’t think we’ll lose. That’s how strong he is.”
The bishop laughed at her faint smile. The church is only cooperating with the empire because it cannot overcome the threats. No one could predict what Orca would do after winning the war and ruling the continent.
“Of course it can happen, but that’s what will happen if we don’t do anything and just quietly follow his words.”
“Yes?”
“Time is up! “I will take the holy water that was created.”
The bishop, who did not understand her words for a moment, opened his eyes wide.
A group of soldiers broke into the sacred sanctuary. They were soldiers who were dispatched under orders from Orca to take holy water from the religious orders.
They were extremely rude, but with Orca’s authority on their backs, they had great momentum.
“Holy water… Oops!”
“What?!”
Rhenia attacked them. Pretending to quietly give them holy water, he stretched out his arm and cut them all to death with a blade made from sacred power.
“Stand, saintess!”
“The elf army is rushing here now. They create chaos and create cracks in the order. “Bishop, if you really want it, bring others and follow me.”
Her horrified bishop looked at her, but Lenia brushed off her bloody hands and she grinned.
