655 – Reactor (5)
When the bullet hit my head, it felt like I was hit hard by a hammer. In terms of kinetic energy alone, guns are stronger than arrows.
It’s a shame because I got a healthy body, but if it was someone else, I would have had a hole in my head.
Also, if the divinity were intact, the divinity is unstable and there is no sound mind, so the defensive power itself is unstable.
What this means is that a healthy body is the minimum condition, and only when a healthy mind is acquired is automatic defense unfolded.
Previously, Luminous also said that diseases and poisons are unlikely to cause harm, but that physical shocks will work ‘very little’.
The conditions are quite strict, but the first condition is when the other person has ‘malice’ towards you.
However, the target of the fired bullets was Lina, not me, so I couldn’t completely defend myself.
“Isaac! Isaac! Wake up! Isaac!”
“·······?”
Ah. Of course, that’s why I passed out for a moment, not like I’ve been lying down for days or something.
I only fainted briefly from the shock, but my resilience itself was superior from before. Consciousness came quickly.
“Ugh…”
“Are you awake?”
She nodded at Rina’s question. In terms of impact, it seemed like he had hit it hard with a hammer, but he didn’t feel much pain.
It felt like being hit by a BB rather than a bullet. I rubbed my forehead gently and hurriedly looked around.
“Daddy, redhead?”
“If it’s red hair… Isn’t it Saint Zenon?”
“You’re right. I saw you last time!”
“Why is the Holy Son here?”
Terrorism is also terrorism, but the exposure of my existence seems to have had a bigger impact. As the disguise magic ended, her red hair grew long.
The reason the magic was broken was the shock of being shot. It’s a very small amount, but it lost its effect because I lost consciousness.
Anyway, if you stay here, the problem will be bigger. Rina seemed to have had the same idea and dragged me into her carriage.
“I will cancel all plans and return to the Empire! Hurry up and leave!”
“Yes! Let’s go!”
As soon as I boarded the wagon, Leort, realizing the seriousness, exclaimed urgently. In response to Marquis Klose’s answer, the coachman gave a strong blow to his whip.
As soon as the whipping was done, the two horses leading the wagon began to move quickly. I rubbed my tingling forehead and looked back.
“Long live Starbirk independence! Long live Starbirk independence… Gaug!”
“Quickly drag this bastard!”
“You won’t die gracefully!”
A young man believed to have fired a gun is being detained and taken away by the guards. Maybe because of their strong patriotism, they shouted “Independence” And got hit.
The results are different, but the process is the same as in Sarajevo. If I hadn’t come here, Lina would have died or suffered a fatal injury.
I wonder how the gun was invented before that. Guns are not something that can be made anywhere.
Moreover, even if the Starbirks had good dexterity, they would not be as good as the Dwarves. I don’t understand.
‘Could this be because of blood and steel?’
It was a time when I was dumbfounded in a confusing situation in many ways.
“Isaac. Are you really okay? Aren’t you dizzy?”
Lina held my face with both hands and examined her details. More than a cat, her eyes are full of worry.
A little dizzy from the shock, but nothing major. The pain just stings like being hit by a BB gun.
“You’re fine. You, by the way? Are you unhurt?”
“You are so…!”
On the contrary, when I worried about her, Lina burst into tears, then bit her mouth tightly. He has a lot to say, but he doesn’t say anything.
The urgent thing right now is to get out of Starbirk. She said to me in a low voice.
“······Let’s go back to the imperial palace and talk. The situation is very urgent.”
“Okay.”
Thanks to the coachman’s brilliant driving skills, she was able to reach the teleportation facility shortly after.
Magicians were preparing to return to the Empire at any time, so it was possible to return directly to the Empire.
As soon as we got off the wagon, the guards guarding the teleportation agency hurriedly finished their preparations, as if they had read the atmosphere.
Some people were surprised to see me with my disguise off, but I was in a hurry.
“I’m telling you just in case…”
Soon after, the teleport engine started working and just before returning to the Empire, Lina spoke quietly.
She followed suit with a look that swallowed anger and a voice that was extremely low.
“Don’t say things like you’re going to have mercy on Starbirk, you’re right, not me, so it’s okay. Okay?”
“······Don’t bother too much.”
“Even if it’s not our empire, it’s going to be a mess somewhere else?”
She is Lina who snorts and replies improbably. hahahaha, if this news spreads widely, Starbirk’s fate is ‘end’.

No more, no less, just that. Perhaps they can be judged for their kinship with devil worshippers.
I don’t know if the country is at a disadvantage, but it’s awkward for individuals who have no connection to it.
I was even treated like that, but I’m not a hogu, so you might ask why. The reason is simple.
‘This would only lead to a vicious cycle.’
Extremism only breeds extremism. As Nazi Germany massacred the Soviets, the Soviets ruthlessly massacred the Nazi Germans.
Of course, at the time of World War II, Nazi Germany was a devil, but now there is a high probability that the whole world will point its sword at Starbirk.
In other words, it means that unfair Starbirkmin may come out as a judge with evil. Perhaps a greater terrorism could occur.
‘I don’t know anything else, but I have to stop the genocide.’
Would you hang all the extremists by the neck, or punish them accordingly? All I can do is arrange a ‘line’.
The good that helps the world not fall into mass madness. Just as the Sarajevo incident drove the world into madness, this one will follow a similar course.
“The teleport engine is ready!”
The teleportation agency was ready before I knew it. I hurriedly moved toward the institution.
While moving my steps, Lina was holding my hand tightly. It looks like it was caught unconsciously.
“Lina?”
“Why are you calling me?”
“Hand…”
“A hand?”
As soon as I said her hand, Lina shifted her gaze to the hand she was holding. She then blinked her eyes and blushed slightly, she said.
“Okay. Just grab it.”
A blunt yet not disliked voice. The moment the teleport engine was activated, she murmured softly.
“······I don’t know anymore.”
While saying that, it was Lina who gave strength to her hand that had seized her sneakily.
*****
The terror that occurred in Starbirk spread to the whole world. When most people heard the news, they were more bewildered than shocked.

No. Between the Empire of Minerva and Stavirk, why did I receive assassination threats? The front and back don’t match.
Actually, that is natural. Originally, it would have ended with only Leort and Lina accompanying him. I only followed Mora’s request.
As a result, people couldn’t help but wonder. No one knows why I am appearing out of nowhere.
However, it was thought that someone in a hurry would make a mistake, so Starbirk opened the ‘Inish’ first.
A rough summary is as follows.
[Extremists on our side committed terrorism. But if they knew Zenon was coming, they wouldn’t have done this…]
The Asala I saw is a man who doesn’t make these mistakes. Even in the face of mighty imperial power, he never wavered.
But it’s a problem because I’m such a great person that even the empire is ‘something like that’. It’s often that you make a mistake thinking that you’re screwed.
Of course, the Minerva Empire, which was contemplating how to cook Starbirque, had no choice but to come up with this answer.
[Does this mean that if Zenon hadn’t been accompanied, he would have committed terrorism? Even if Zenon hadn’t stopped it, the princess’ life could have been in danger.]
Even though the Empire of Minerva suffered from the Great Depression, its national power is strong. Rather, the potential of its national power has risen dramatically with the advent of factories.
I’m still barely recovering my pride, but if you touch it properly, you’ll have a seizure.
As Starbirk opened the wrong initiative like this, other countries also opened their mouths one by one.
For some reason, everyone didn’t care that I followed them. In any case, the fact that he received an assassination threat is important.
International relations tangled like the Sarajevo incident boom! It wasn’t that it exploded, but a country like Hitler appeared where everyone was an asshole.
[A lamentable thing. Starbirk wanted a war with the Empire from the beginning.]
[If it had not been for the protection of Saint Zenon, there would have been many innocent victims.]
[The desire for independence led to an extreme choice. That means, in other words, ready to shed blood.]
For Starbirk, it must be going crazy because of the unfairness. Because it was done by extremists in their own country, and the country looks like it’s going to collapse.
It’s true that it’s actually unfair. If only Lina was damaged, she would have been beaten only by the empire, not by other countries.
I couldn’t find public opinion that the empire did the right thing. If they had read the first agreement, they would have regarded the Empire as a bastard, but they didn’t even pay attention to that.
[The assassin who shot Zenon is currently being held in prison. He awaits judgment.]
[The weapon used by the assassin is none other than the gun that appeared in Blood and Steel.]
[What was Starbirk making?]
The ‘gun’ used by the assassin was also attracting some attention. However, this too was soon buried.
The only thing that matters now is to kill Starbirk. Starbirk defended somehow, but unfortunately public opinion was not good inside.
Respect for me is very high in Starbirk as well. Because it taught me about ‘national self-determinationism’.
Although it was buried because Hitler used it as a false example, it played a crucial role in strengthening independence.
However, due to this disaster, public opinion began to form that people should rather be subjugated. It’s going to blow your head, both internally and externally.
[Prepare to face God’s judgment.]
[To dare harm the saint brought by the gods themselves, that sin deserves to die a hundred times.]
[The saint only prevented innocent victims from occurring, and in the end, Starbirk is destined to end.]
I had no interest in why I accompanied the imperial delegation. The mass madness I was concerned about started creeping up.
On the contrary, they are praising him for stopping an innocent victim. Well, actually, from my point of view, it would be better for me to get hurt than for Lina to get fatally wounded.
When the atmosphere was boiling like lava because it was so threatening, Helium, the most anticipated and feared, announced the entrance statement.
[Statement of Helium’s position. Get ready to go back after the demon war.]
After the Demon Wars, most civilizations except Albenheim returned to the Stone Age. That means, in other words, prepare to go back to the Stone Age.
If you look at Helium’s magic power, it’s not impossible. In particular, demons are a race with much stronger ‘firepower’ than elves.
A level where Cecily could blow away at least a mountain just by using high-level magic. Starbirk’s chances of defending are remarkably low.
Around the time when the atmosphere was gradually overheating as Helium even raised high-level criticism, I thought hard to prevent the damage as much as possible.
As I said before, if you fall into mass madness and commit a massacre, the vicious cycle will only repeat itself. I want to block this much.
Therefore, after resting for a few days at the imperial palace, he immediately returned to the mansion. By the time I was about to head straight to Mora’s temple.
“Hello…”
“Uh…”
A guest I hadn’t seen before was resting in the mansion. I looked at the customer with a dumbfounded face.
He grew long black hair that sparkled like the Milky Way, and his eyes sparkled as if they contained the universe.
The clothes are clothes that the ancient Greeks would wear, so there are a lot of exposed areas. Even so, I didn’t feel any vulgarity or anything like that at all.
On the contrary, it had a strong sense of sacredness. Anyway, I know the identity of this woman.
“······Could it be Mora-sama?”
It’s the same as the Mora I met during penance. When I asked in an unexpected voice, the woman presumed to be Mora laughed awkwardly.
The funny thing about this is that she holds Ariel tightly in her arms. Ariel wriggled to see if Mora was comfortable in her arms, and she was trying to sleep.
“Are you really Mora?”
“Yes.”
“No. How did you get here…”
Mora scratched the back of her head like a cheater at my question, which implied a question.
Then, as if choosing her words, she pondered for a moment before replying with a shy smile.
“Are you paying for your coercion?”
