Chapter 52 - The War Inside the Torture Chamber (5)

'That means... If it's me, it's possible?'

That's right. So say it. Order me. Though this is something that's absolutely impossible and unimaginable.

If you order me... I think I might be able to do it. 

'Ares.'

'Connect with me this instant.' 

It's done.

That's right. By the way, this is annoying. What's the point of retiring? I'm called upon once every 100 years.

Sorry, Professor. It's impossible for us to revitalize the topological stature of the Iron Heart.

Tch tch. So why don't you just quickly expand the world in your mind and connect with the Sky Library? We, the Kendler tribe, rule over the Universe, so does it make sense that I'm the only Intermediate-rank God in our Universe? There's three of them among the lizard bastards.

Haha, that's a perplexing remark.

Who are you guys? Who are you to look down at me?

You have a pretty aggressive disposition. What kind of God are you? 

Ares. 

Ares? Aha, you're the God of War, famous even among the Olympians. But didn't you already die and become a Voided God?

Tch tch. There's still nothing good about using the stature of Gods who are still in good shape. We might get into trouble if we rub them up the wrong way. If it's our kids, we'll make sure they tread carefully, but there's no guarantee that the guys who buy the Gigas will do the same.

'I see. This is the first sight that Ares saw when he was born.'

Answer me! Who are you guys? No, that aside... What the hell, what am I? Why am I here? Who am I?

'No, wait... What is this?'

It's done! It's a success!

'Isn't this the Albatross ship?'

Yes, you connected successfully! Can you sense me?

'What do you mean by that? Sense? But, certainly... You're right.'

How is it? The perfect version of the Eye of Ares?

'I'm losing my mind.'

'Oh, it's Napoleon. Who's riding him?'

Didn't I tell you that you can't go into other Gigas recklessly? If it was so easy to enter a Gigas as you wished, it would've been possible to steal enemy Gigas. 

'Oh, that's right… You did mention something like that.'

"Then, I have to control a broken Gigas after all?'

If I could contact Albatross right away, they'd certainly be able to provide one, but... Things are tough right now. The bear dude is exerting all his strength now, so it's hard to even approach him. The only one who could see me, the Imperial Princess, was taken captive along with you. But even if it's a broken Gigas... It wouldn't matter if it's you, right? 

'That's true.'

'You're right.'

I'll control the system. It's a Tool-rank, so I won't need help.

What do we do about the corpse?

'Let's put it properly in the cockpit. So that we can properly retrieve it on a later date.'

'It's pretty neat.'

'Okay.'

'Ahh, come to think of it, Ares.'

Hmm? What's up?

'I mean, have you ever seen what your Iron Heart looked like?'

There's no meaning behind the form of my Iron Heart. The shape of the Iron Hearts are all the same. 

'...How so?'

It's hexagon-shaped. But the sizes are all different. The small ones are the size of a fist and the big ones will reach the size of a decent-sized room.

But then it wouldn't make sense if it was like that though?

What's wrong?

'No, it's nothing.'

Are you ready?

'Of course.'

They're all sacrificial pawns.

'But, even so, it's not like they will be annihilated, right?'

Of course. Everyone looks like they're on a highway to death right now. So we need to convey some good news to them. 

'Triple kill!!!'

'And 1 assist!'

Huh, what's this, Dae-ha. For some reason, you seem different than usual eh?

'Oh, it's nothing. It's just, after a long time...'

'I'm just trying to get a little serious.'
