Gaiden 5 Scary Kariel! (3)
After the negotiations broke down, Kariel and the others came down immediately.
A giant snake glared at them, but it was meaningless.
In a situation where it was not easy to guess how much damage Kariel alone would take, all the protagonists who defeated the demon king were gathered.
Besides, Kariel’s level was higher than he thought.
That means that others are likely to do the same.
– Are you confident?
Confidence that we can win even if another dimension invades.
It seemed that he had a firm belief that he could win even if he did not have to forcefully become a god to protect the world.
The moment he opened his power, he saw the sharp momentum of the two flying sharply, and he was also convinced.
Among humans, Kariel is not the only one who will rise to the ranks of gods.
-after… … Is it war after all?
After hearing Kariel’s decision, representing humans, he had to make a choice as well.
Whether to sit still and wait for a little more time, or to get out of here and prepare to fight in earnest… … .
– Baldr… … .
After muttering the name of the old god, Quetzalcoatl gazed at the sky.
Its origin comes from a giant snake that once ruled the world.
Since he has inherited some of the origins of the serpent that entwined the dead world during Ragnarok and has lived until now, he also had a desire to become like him one day.

Just a little bit, if a thousand years more passed like this, it seemed that I would be able to approach the great serpent called Jormungandr.
But circumstances don’t seem to help that.
“Why don’t you try to be brave now?”
What Baldr once said.
If you want to become a snake entwining the second world, advice to gamble at least once rather than just building up your strength stably.
At that time, I thought it was just a trick to stop the demon king.
But after seeing Kariel, I could understand why he said that.
Battles between life and death, and efforts beyond limits to face mighty enemies.
A force that suddenly becomes stronger as a result.
It occurred to them that perhaps it might be humans, not other dimensions, that threaten their future survival.
– Has the time come for me to gamble?
After muttering that, the giant snake began to move its body wrapped around the huge mountain little by little.
It was because there was a need to build one’s own forces rather than being engrossed in the threat that would come one day.
* * *
While the giant snake of the new continent was preparing to move, Kariel boarded the airship again.
“Your Majesty, the head of the intelligence department has been contacted.”
The officer waiting inside Kariel whispered a report.
The content was simple.
The point is that the anti-imperialist faction strongly protested against the empire.
They should have an information network, too, so by now they would have known that Kariel had gone to see their god.
“So what is their current reaction?”
“We are gathering at the border of Mazuka Country. Their ‘gods’ also seem to be moving.”
“Are you going to go to war with us?”
Kariel, who muttered a little, glanced behind her.
The two Grand Masters are the heart of the Empire.
It was easy for them to come out here.
‘They believe in their God… … .’
They still don’t know that Kariel and the others have come down from the mountain.
That’s the idea of putting as much pressure as possible until Kariel and the Grand Masters arrive.
The reason that wars have not been started yet seems to be due to the thought that even a giant snake could be defeated by the Grand Master.
“Then you should use it.”
Cariel, who laughed and muttered, gave an order to the officer standing behind him.
And the order was delivered to Tharion immediately.
“Send information that me and the Grand Masters are not coming down from the mountain!”
At the heart of the information war is deception.
The key is whether the other person is telling a lie or how close to the truth they are even if they tell a lie.
To be based on the truth as much as possible and to confuse the opponent with only a few lies.
They know the information that Kariel is going to meet Quetzalcoatl, but they do not know that he has come down from the mountain, so they can do it.
“The Imperial army is moving across the borders of Mazuka to the dwelling place of the gods!”
The Imperial Army intentionally moves under Kariel’s orders.
If it were only for this, the anti-imperialist faction would not have had any intention of moving.
However, the secretly leaked information from Tharion made the Anti-Imperial Army worried.
“Is this certain information?”
“It’s hot information straight from my superiors.”
“her… … .”
The anti-imperialist spy looked at the high-ranking officials he had met.
“It’s difficult to pay the bill right away. After going through the verification process, if it is true… … .”
“Can’t you believe me?”
“No. I just need to confirm. If it’s true, I’ll give you twice the original amount.”
“Twice! What if twice? … .”
Regrettably, the bureaucrat who calmed his excitement at the word double resigned.
When the high-ranking official resigned, the spy immediately reported to the superior.
Information secretly leaked to the pro-imperialist faction by Ignit’s high-ranking officers, including Tharion.
Only then were they convinced when they passed through the hands of corrupt bureaucrats and into the hands of the anti-imperialists.
“The Emperor of Ignit is still bound to the Serpent Mountain!”
“Appears to be bound by the Grand Masters.”
Gathering various information, the rumors spread among the pro-imperialist faction were highly likely to be true.
The situation in which the Imperial Army was rushing to the Serpent Mountain and the remaining troops of the pro-imperialist faction were in the process of gathering and moving.
Taken together, the emperors are bound to their gods.
And the Grand Masters who instilled fear in them were also more likely to be tied together.
That said, now is an opportunity for them.
The Ignit Empire army prepared for battle as they persuaded the gods of each country to charge, with more power than the pro-imperial faction.
The anti-imperialist faction also hastily gathered the army.
In a situation that would not be strange even if there was a war, Ignit’s air force covered the sky and opened the way.
And a huge airship appears after releasing the barrier that blocks the view.
The moment a huge airship lined with all sorts of new weapons took the lead, the anti-imperialist army began to panic.
“I… … That! Isn’t it the emperor’s flagship?”
“Why is that!”
When everyone was embarrassed, some people tried to deny reality.
“It must not be the one riding the emperor!”
“Right. It wasn’t the emperor’s flagship that went to Serpent Mountain!”
People of the anti-imperialist faction raised their spirits again when they said that the emperor was not on board.
By the time the morale that had almost fallen to the ground was gradually stabilizing, someone stood alone on top of the huge flagship.
“author! Who is it?”
The moment he looked at the man standing alone in the air like a madman, huge spheres of flame were created around him and at the same time, waves of flame spread to the surroundings.
At the same time, a pure white light burst from the man’s forehead.
At this point, I couldn’t help but know.
“I… … That!”
“Emperor?”
“Why is the emperor here!”
At the very moment when the heads of the anti-imperialist faction panicked, the firestorm that Kariel created in the air split and disappeared.
A technique that seems to blow up the entire space.
The people of the New World who saw the most famous technology during the Great War were astonished.
“The Grand Masters are also there!”
The moment he checked the Grand Masters standing on both sides of Kariel, the morale of the anti-Imperial faction began to plummet.
Some of them even abandoned their weapons.
The divine beings who followed along tried to counter it, but when Kariel and the two grand masters intentionally radiated momentum with all their might, all momentum to rush at once disappeared.
The beings that Kadan enshrines and the divine beings of the two countries closely following Kadan show off their strength, but they are at a baby level compared to the grand masters.
At best, the level of rubbing against the 3 masters.
The god Kadan worships can compete with Duke Dave, but it is difficult to handle the momentum of the Grand Master.
“Are those beings called the gods of battle?”
Since ancient times, those called the gods of the battlefield were the Grand Masters.
The hero who saved the continent.
whole body.
A demon who will destroy the country alone.
The beings with various nicknames were beings that became symbols of victory beyond the one-man corps.
And the New World could finally understand why the Grand Masters were so respected and feared in the Western and Eastern continents.
The knights, including the master, dared to fight against it, but Glenn alone overwhelmingly ‘overwhelmed’ them.
The soldiers lost the will to fight at all from the fact that they subdued everyone rather than killing them.

Just at the point where they thought that the anti-imperialist faction would forcibly surrender to Ignit, the huge mountain moved.
-Those who are not born on this continent. If you don’t want to fight me, stop.
With a voice resounding through the sky, the snake coiled around the mountain appeared as it collapsed part of the mountain.
The huge snake that was hidden in the clouds finally came down to the ground and sprayed Kariel and the Ignit army with intense killing blows.
“… … He made a choice too.”
Kariel muttered with a bitter expression.
Since he gave up becoming a god, Quetzalcoatl also showed his will to prepare for future battles by moving rather than standing still.
“It’s unfortunate.”
“… … Isn’t it worth fighting for?”
When Glenn spoke with confidence, Marquis Sicario also nodded.
I was immature during the Great War, but it’s different now.
Glenn was developing more than a hero of the Age of Gods, and Marquis Sicario’s immaturity when fighting the demon king had long since disappeared.
That’s why I was confident that I could win enough with just the two of us without Kariel joining us.
But Kariel shook her head.
“done. There is no need to take risks.”
“Haona… … .”
“War is the neatest, but there are many ways to annoy them even if it isn’t.”
Having said that, Kariel removed the fireball and gathered his momentum to show Quetzalcoatl that he had no will to fight anymore.
Then, Glenn and Marquis Sicario also regained their momentum with regretful expressions.
Unless Ignit were to swallow the New World, they also had to have the strength to defend themselves against an invasion from another dimension.
And the main axis will be Quetzalcoatl no matter what anyone says.
It might be wiser to fight like this for the sake of the Empire, but for the sake of the world, we had to stop.
“Don’t let it stop here.”
Cariel, who carried mana and spoke to the pro-imperialists, looked at Quetzalcoatl and said.
“I think we can make Mazuka country a neutral zone. You take good care of it so that there is no fight.”
Having said that, Kariel turned around as if he had nothing more to say.
And with that the war was over.
The war that will remain in the history of the new continent has come to an abrupt end.
But they didn’t know.
Their suffering is that this is the beginning… … .
Why is Kariel called the epitome of modesty by the ministers… … .
In the future, the anti-Imperial faction will suffer twice as much as the pro-Imperial faction.
And the leaders of each country who started the war in the flames of revolution created by the pro-imperialist faction will not survive. This was enough to get revenge on those who gave Kariel a hard time.
“I’ve finished my business, so I’ll come back.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Tarion, who bowed his head in response to Kariel’s command, immediately gave the order.
Since the work in the new continent was over, it was time to return to the Empire.
