Chapter 366.1. Even With A Single Ship Is A Fleet Battle

The monsters surrounding the Sky Castle looked like caterpillars. Floating in the air without wings, covered in dense fine hairs on their bodies, they were gigantic like battleships despite lacking wings. Their sizes varied from around 500 meters to 50 meters.
Around the battleships, humanoid insect-like monsters resembling Mothman flew. They scattered purple scales from their brown wings and had long proboscises resembling tentacles on their faces.
Countless insects swarmed around like a cluster of golden trees, giving off an unsettling feeling.
“Ugeh… What’s up with those faces on those bugs…”
Masatoshi, who saw the enemies with enhanced vision, stuck his tongue out in disgust. Indeed, the faces were eerie and evoked a sense of horror.
“All of them… have faces like Kanna Shin… Is that his fate?”
Sena frowned, expressing her disgust and impressions of the insects.
That’s because every face among the insects was Shin’s. Emotionless, expressionless faces like a lifeless mask, unmistakably the protagonist of the original work.
As Munin and Hugin cawed, they analyzed the enemy.
-Analysis inconclusive-
Oh, as expected of the servants of the gods. Crow analysis doesn’t work. But that was anticipated.
-Event: Demonstrate Takano Miu’s power-
[Understood. Let’s show the power we’ve gained so far.]
[Ei, ei, oh!]
Hearing the lively response, I smiled and released the origin power dormant within me to the outside. My body creaked, and my vision distorted. The energy sustaining me was rapidly decreasing.
But there was no problem. That’s why I had been storing up power for this moment.
Her expression changed from cute to fierce like a ferocious bird, and Miu’s body began to shine in platinum. Spreading platinum particles to the world, she smirked.
“I’m deploying the God Realm!”
[Miu-chan’s God Realm deployment]
When the platinum particles shone even brighter and spread like ripples, the light expanded to the surroundings, swallowing even the golden tree. And then, a new display appeared in the air with a ping.
-New species: Yggdrasil Bug (Battleship Type): Level 132-
-New species: Yggdrasil Mothman: Level 129-
“Welcome to my game world. Let’s enjoy it to the fullest!”
It seems the God Realm deployment was successful. Miu’s power had broken through the enemy’s law. That’s why the power of the game was effective.
Even so, what an appropriate enemy for the final battle. It’s a common trope in games. A troublesome enemy with no weaknesses.
“Woooon”
The distorted and eerie voice echoed from the Yggdrasil Bug battleship. The surrounding space twisted, and discharges were visible from a distance.
“Lady, it’s the signal to begin!”
Turning to Miu, Heimdall played the Galarmornica.
“Okay. Poyorin, start the battleship cannon bombardment!”
“Poyo!”
The battleship cannons of Asgard targeted the golden tree, and the muzzles began to emit a diamond-like brilliance.
[Diamond Cannon]
The three-barreled battleship cannons spewed fire, and a pure white beam containing immense energy was fired at the golden tree. The light swelled on its way, enlarging like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
“Woooon”
[Golden Breath]
In response, the enemy also released a golden breath from its mouth, and the breath emitted from the giant Yggdrasil Bug’s massive hull was several tens of meters in size. Moreover, all the enemy units simultaneously launched the attack, and the light filled the sky like a meteor shower.
Poyorin, with its diamond body, and the durable Asgard, although high in endurance, would undoubtedly be sunk if hit by that attack. However, Miu remained calm.
“Freya!”
“Understood. Boring attacks lack charm, after all.”
Freya, who had switched to combat mode with narrowed eyes, flew before the battleship, raising her shield.
[All units, defensive posture]
Following Freya’s thoughts, the machine-type magical beings called Valkyries were summoned, standing in formation.
“Well, it seems I can receive the first attack.”
[Shield of the Headwind]
As Freya’s shield faintly shimmered, a gentle breeze enveloped the shield. The Valkyries, seemingly tracing Freya’s movements, also raised their shields.
A golden torrent, like the flow of a great river, approached, but without any disturbance, Freya maintained her composure and intercepted the breath. The shining shield that intercepted it emitted a discharge, illuminating Freya’s face. Gradually, Freya’s body got pushed back, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“Because you called it a breath, I’m returning it. Like this!”
Pouring more of her magical power into the shield, Freya forcefully pressed the shield. The Valkyries also pressed their shields in the same way.
“First Attack!”
They repelled all the golden breaths. The torrent changed its course, creating waves as it headed towards the enemy. The golden torrent attacked the enemy like a raging serpent, engulfing Mothmen and incinerating battleships.
Countless battleship-type Yggdrasil Bugs exploded, and the sky twinkled with lights as if flowers were blooming.
With [Shield of the Headwind], they had repelled all the breaths.
“Now, let’s enjoy the battle a bit.”
With a gleam in her eyes, Freya and the Valkyries headed towards the remaining enemies.
It seems impossible to stop her battle frenzy now.
“That being said, it’s impressive that you’ve raised so many Valkyries.”
Following Freya, the Valkyries appeared. Female humanoid mechanical dolls wearing streamlined magical armor. Equipped with a knight’s spear and shield, they flew with metal wings attached to their backs.
The machine-type magical beings, Valkyries, were created using a recipe obtained through in-game purchases. Initially just mannequins, they evolved and changed their appearance as their levels increased.
Moreover, there were patterns in their evolution. It required a vast amount of materials and leveling up to raise them to that extent.
