Chapter 4 – New God

Part 1

At that ti that was hard to believe

The center of the world that had existed since prehistory The ure of that Genesis cru down

The people were only looking up in blank aht sky without the pillar they were familiar hich had vanished The sky that had lost the thing that should be theretheir place to depend on

“What will happen to us from now on?”

“This is the end This world is over”

“So, everyone will die you mean?”

Anxiety called for terror, terror invited chaos Zeltis was falling into chaotic mayhem

A ground ru sound resounded over the tumult of the people

“Hey, what’s this sound? This is……”

That sound didn’t come from below them The people looked up to the sky

“Wha-, what is, that!?”

The sky was shaking The tre that movement carved a crack in the sky And then the broken sky becaments and fell down

“KYAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Those frags one after another At the other side of the chipped sky, a black darkness that was like hell was spreading The sky that was full of cracks hiding the darkness of nothingness was co down on the above the people’s heads with certainty That was the countdown of death towards this world

The announcement of breakdoithout any place to escape sed up the people into a whirlpool of despair and chaos

Whether it was the couard, or even the royalty Aine and Grace, they were all the same

Grace as standing with tre

“It really, collapsed…is it”

When she arrived until the edge of the balcony, Grace leaned on the handrail as if clinging on it

“It……it’s the end already”

Aine eed her onto her body However Aine’s body was also tre

No th they had, they were powerless in front of the fate of the world

Just like a beast that was scared of lightning, they were huddling together shi+veringly

Kizuna tried to contact Ataraxia and activated his floating

“This is Kizuna! Nee-chan, shi+kina-san, Genesis collapsed!”

Reiri grimaced her forehead and quickly answered

{You think we cannot see it froht now Where are you guys?}

“We are at the balcony of the largest spire I’ether with Aine and Grace too”

Kei’s typed text was displayed in front of Reiri

{And where is Professor Nayuta?}

Kizuna noticed that and asked Grace

“Grace Kaa-san……Professor Nayuta, where is she?”

However Grace powerlessly shook her head

“I don’t know But that woman’s research lab is at the base of the pillar……in this situation, perhaps it had been crushed”

Nayuta’s research lab was right under the Genesis Right noas under the broken pieces of the pillar which were beco a mountain Surely she couldn’t possible end up safe from that

“Nayuta……is alive”

The voice of a person came from inside the room

“That voice……Zel?”

Froht, two hu their bodies showed their appearances

Grace raised her voice looking at those figures

“Zelsione! Also, isn’t that Valdy! Where were you two until now?”

Aine opened her eyes wide at the two’s appearances which was exposed under the light from outside

“Those wounds……just what happened?”

The figures of the tere figures that h a fierce one, they were in their ied Blood soaked the torn clothes and they also understood that blood was trickling down on their exposed skin Especially Zelsione, she looked severely wounded, she was dragging her feet by borrowing Valdy’s shoulder After they came out to the balcony, Zelsione cruth

“Zel!”

Aine supported her body in panic Kizuna also lent his hand and laid her body down on the floor

Zelsione spitted out a painful voice from her lips that ith blood

“Nayuta……as we thought, she wasn’t doing any research for repairing Genesis”

Valdy’s face hung down She was clenching her fist with tre shoulders A puddle of tears was created below her drop by drop

Kizuna stared at the figures of the tith a grim expression

“As expected, Kaa-san is……shi+t-! Just what is she sche this time!?”

Zelsione was pressing the wound on her sto here was inconsequential in this occasion There was so that she had to convey, that sense ofthe intense pain

“Wha, what that woman researched was――”

“The evolution to an existence that is not human”

‘――!?’

There was an unfairl

Further with the setting sun behind her

“You are……?”

Her appearance was like an ele jet black hair flapping in the as beautiful Her young stark naked body that wasn’t wearing anything was only covered by a long white robe that didn’t suit her body size

Her body earing only that She didn’t even wear ain the air with just her flesh body

Even though her appearance was really lovely and beautiful, they felt unknown terror from her

It should be their first irl somewhere

‘――That’s right She is similar with Nee-chan’s photo of the past’

That was not accurate But it was an impression that was near the truth

Zelsione spoke roughly while enduring her pain

“That kid, is Nayuta!”

“Eh?”

For Kizuna, theof those words were incomprehensible

“You say that this child is Kaa-san……just what does that mean?”

Aine and also Grace, even Reiri and Kei that atching across the co the same like Kizuna

That girl faced Kizuna and smiled

“Kizuna For you to forget the face of yourin filial piety isn’t it?”

‘――Such thing is impossible’

“What are you saying? Err, who are you?”

Zelsione yelled with a pained voice towards Kizuna as going to approach the girl carelessly

“Be careful! That thing is not like how Nayuta was once! It’s a monster!”

Kizuna’s legs stopped

The girl floating in the air pouted her esture

“You really are talking rudely aren’t you, Zelsione-sama? I’m not a monster, I want to be called as a God”

{God……you say?}

Reiri talked in irritation from inside the communication

{Certainly, this insolent way of talking is really like mother But, what kind of trick that appearance is? Are you doing some kind of interference with our visual infor yourself younger than your age}

The girl laughed pleasantly

“Fufufu, it’s exactly as you see I’ that I was reborn is ”

Kizuna was also gradually co Rather than that the sense of reality elling up inside him

He didn’t understand the cause or the irl was clad in, her presence This girl was,

‘――There is no doubt, this is Kaa-san’

Surely Reiri also felt that She was getting increasingly irritated froirl

{New living being……you say? And, what is theof that!?}

“It’s about a living being that has evolved even further The sa who created the Core of Heart Hybrid Gear and Genesis……I wonder if it’s easier to understand if I say it like that”

It was Nayuta’s forte to talk in a roundabout way that the other side couldn’t understand, covering her story with smokescreen Kizuna yelled impatiently

“Say it clearly, I don’t understand at all just what you are saying! Kaa-san……if you are really Kaa-san, it doesn’tyou had become Rather than that, stop the breakdown of this world!”

Aine also returned to her senses and raised a cornered voice

“That’s right! You were doing research for that sake all this time weren’t you? Professor Nayuta!”

Nayuta shrugged her shoulders cutely

“I did Or I should say, I was researching to decipher the technology of Genesis Because if I comprehend all of Genesis’s secret, naturally the way to repair it will also be discovered, so I was not lying by any means”

Grace glared at Nayuta resentfully

“Stop toying with your justification! Then as the pillar cru, not destroying it!”

Nayuta was s bad

“I didn’t destroy it intentionally I uess it was quite burdened due to that In the first place the pillar had been kept operating all the time without any maintenance, so a malfunction occurred That is the cause of the cataclys used in that kind of condition, so its life span was rapidly shrinking And then it was only by chance that it reached its limit just now”

Aine gritted her teeth hard Enduring her fury, she faced Nayuta and spoke

“Professor Nayuta……tell ation Just what is Genesis?”

“The true identity of Genesis, is a tool that creates worlds That is to say, it’s the tool the creator used when creating this world……that pillar is the creator’s parting gift”

‘――This world’s, creator she said?’

The story of Nayuta immediately sounded like a shady story

“That is, so to speak the God you mean?”

“That’s right Putting it another e can even say that it’s a living thing of another world who created this world”

In other words, someone from another world created this world……that hat she said

“The Core is also the sa prepared by the people who created Genesis in order to iure like them”

“Why, are they doing so like that? Those creators or whatever”

Nayuta shook her small head

“I don’t understand that yet”

Reiri threw a voice filled with killing intent from the other side of the

{Just now, you said that you becaht? In other words that is to say that you are the same existence as the creator, you beca that created this world then?}

“My, that’s a quick comprehension for Reiri”

Nayuta showed a faked gesture of surprise

“I wanted to understand the technology of the Core and Genesis And then, as I continued to further my analysis, I became interested in the very creators themselves who created all of these What kind of existences they are What should I do so I can approach such transcendental existences”

Raising her ser erectly

“And then I thought Genesis constructed this world, if it can even create life, shouldn’t it also be able to recreate myself, like that”

Nayuta spread the fringe of her white robe and twirled in the air

“And then, it’s just as you see――a great success”

Nayuta as all smiles looked innocent, lovely, and ominous

“However, about the existences which are at the level where they can create both worlds that are this Atlantis and our world that is Lemuria There are stillht to those existences and co more but one of those experiments”

Kei’sstarted up in front of Nayuta’s eyes

{Professor Nayuta, this is shi+kina}

“Aah, Kei You look healthy What is it?”

{Just now, you said that our world was also created by the creator, what is the basis of that? For argument’s sake, if that’s true, then why there are no Cores or Genesis on earth?}

Nayuta made a thin smile

“There are also those things in Lemuria you know? Whether it’s Cores and also monuments that are proportionate with Genesis It is for this reason that I can say that our world was also created by the creator”

‘――What, the?’

Kizuna cut into the talk unable to hold himself back

“Just where do such things exist! It will be a big news if those kind of things were discovered right? But, I have never heard anything like that!”

“No Kizuna should know about it really well”

“……Me?”

Nayuta pointed at Kizuna

“Eros is a Core discovered on earth you know?”

‘――What?’

Kizuna put his hand at his chest

‘This Core of Eros……was originally, from earth?’

“It appears that the other Cores fell down to our world when the Another World Conflict occurred However, only Eros is different It was a mysterious material discovered at an island of the Mediterranean sea approxio But, no oods oftime inside a certain collector’s warehouse without anyone even realizing that it was an OOPArt”

‘Such thing……

It was thought that all their Cores were AU material that fell to earth when Alternate World Conflict happened But, Kaa-san is saying that, originally, there were also Cores on earth?

Having said that, there is also someone who created our world……and that existence is the same one with the one who created this Atlantis

The world where we ca someone created?’

Kizuna’s mind was in chaos

He understood by logic, but he couldn’t comprehend or accept it

It was not just Kizuna, all people present in this place wer thinking the same

Reiri and Kei were also shocked

Reiri snapped at her aze was unfocused

{However……there is nothing like Genesis there, anywhere at all! Isn’t that just your wild delusion!?}

“There is It just hasn’t been discovered”

{So discovered until now huh!}

“That is……my? It seems that this is not the time to speak so leisurely like this isn’t it?”

The sky was still lowering more The whole surface of the sky that was dyed by the setting sun was cracked all over, the cracks was falling down as sky fraglass

“This world is over already I’ forward how much influence it will cause to Lemuria that is connected to this world by the Entrances”

So

“Until now, in order to save this world……just with how , you think we came this far! You!”

Kizuna clenched his fist His flahout his body

“Kaa-san! I’ this world! Even by force!”

“My You are planning to hit a girl this young?”

“Shut it!”

Nayuta pressed herout a chuckle

“In your condition where even your Hybrid Count has hit the bottom, can you take me on?”

Nayuta’s body began to shi+ne with light of ic power

“Don’t tell me……”

Kizuna’s heartbeat became violent

The light of ic formula, that formula instantly materialized It created mechanical parts from her body that appeared to be constructed one after another by unseen hands

Nayuta spoke with a smile that was filled with joy

“It was said that God created humans based on his own appearance, but Heart Hybrid Gear was also so the creator created based on their own appearance Let inal”

The parts created froe thick ar units like robots were created, fixed on her legs Whether the legs or the arer than Nayuta’s height

And then at her back, a board with beautiful luster was unfolding like a spread fan It looked like shi+eld and also looked like wings The fan with beautiful regularity opened to the left and right which even reached six meters of width

“This is the true appearance of the current me”

A headdress in the shape of ornate hairpin was on her head, while a kireatly exposed was created on her body It was an outfit that was like a daughter of a noble who celebrated their aging festival in the shrine

The armor was also beautiful, as if in coordination with the dressed up Nayuta Elegant line and luster like a lacquer Graceful orna it weapon for the sake of battle, it even gave the impression whether it was actually used for etiquette or admiration

Kizuna reflexively ure Nayuta displayed

“Heart Hybrid Gear……”

Without any doubt, it was a large type Heart Hybrid Gear However, it had a presence that drew a line compared to the likes of Kizuna’s Eros or Aine’s Zeros It was not justand ic power emitted from her whole body It made him feel that it was obviously in a different class with other Heart Hybrid Gear

And then there was onethat made him feel unease That was the sense of unity between Nayuta and the armor, it was as if the tere couous where was the boundary between flesh andthing of another species

Nayuta spread both her arms proudly

“Now, you said that you want to ht? I’ll look after you then After all playing with children, is also the role of a parent”

“Ku……”

Kizuna’s teeth gritted audibly

Both Kizuna and also Aine had their Hybrid Count very near zero, they couldn’t even maintain their Heart Hybrid Gear any, but surely she still had da on her body

Kizuna glanced and surmised the state of Zelsione who collapsed on her knees

Far froerous if she wasn’t treated soon

This tilance inside the room

Valdy was sitting down at the center of the roo at her, it really didn’t appear that she could fight

Kizuna desperately thought

‘――Should I call for Gravel noever both Gravel and Aldea, even Gertrude, they ht now’

Kizuna looked up oncein the air He hadn’t confirmed her status by any means But, he understood He coh several verges of death was alerting hierous Extremely

“damn it……is there no way at all”

“Are you being reserved? Then perhaps I should be the one starting”

Nayuta extended her mechanical arm to the front The tip of that hand disasseed its construction like a puzzle and a muzzle of particle cannon appeared at the tip of the hand

Looking at that, it had been installed with that kind of ……wasn’t how it appeared to hih, it was created because it was needed for now――that was how it looked like to him

An unknown terror was surging out inside Kizuna’s chest The living thing that was once his mother He was made to understand that she had transformed into an authentic monster

Light ofin the muzzle of the particle cannon If he was shot in his current state, that would be the end of the road

“Now, Kizuna Here I go”

――At that tih the approaching sky of darkness

That light hit Nayuta dead on The explosion of the fierce light occurred in front of Kizuna’s eyes

“UOO!?”

Kizuna stumbled back from the push of the shockwave on his body

‘The light just now――don’t tell me!?’

Golden large caliber particle cannon that instantly traversed the sky

An accurate boe

“Kizuna―!”

A familiar voice called Kizuna’s name

“Yurishi+a!!”

A Heart Hybrid Gear that evenin the wind, the girl extolled as the world strongest was flying towards him

“It’s ! I’ll have you become my stress relief here!”

The reliable former ace of America Yurishi+a Farandol of Amaterasu

“Blade!”

Swords flying in the sky were co froh the sky freely and attacked at Nayuta

“Himekawa!”

Kizuna’s voice was lifted up

“Professor Nayuta! I won’t let you do any outrageous misdeeds more than this! Himekawa Hayuru, is here!”

Himekawa drew out Sword from the sheath on her waist and rushed towards Nayuta

Nayuta flicked off Blades with the fan wing on her back as shi+eld However the Blades kept changing direction in the air noat Nayuta’s opening There Himekawa herself also slashed with Sword

“I see So Amaterasu is also in full-set here”

Nayuta burst out s, she avoided Hie shadoas standing in the way at where she was evading

“You won’t get away desu!”

That hugeness surpassed even Nayuta’s Heart Hybrid Gear It was Sylvia’s super big Heart Hybrid Gear, [Taros]

“Professor Nayuta, tell us the way to save this world desu!”

Taros swung down its gigantic right arm that was like a hammer It was a fierce attack that if one was hit, it would be coround

“Fufu, I had interest in that Heart Hybrid Gear”

When Nayuta raised her flesh arm, the machine arm was also raised up si sound thundered from the clash between fellow metal

“It, it was blocked desu-!?”

“For this”

At that ti from behind Sylvia

Sylvia retreated after ht after that missiles impacted Nayuta from all directions Blast fla Nayuta in a cluster of flame

“Even we are here!”

Five Heart Hybrid Gears passed above Kizuna

“Scarlet! Also――”

The five ca

“Masters has arrived!”

It seemed that their idol life had permeated deep in their body However, they readied their weapons si themselves And then they aimed at Nayuta who showed her appearance froers without hesitation Bullets rained down on Nayuta like a storm

“Yaa―yy! This sensation after a few er Happy!!”

Cleer as if trying to break it apart Her braided orange hair was greatly disarrayed and she fired bullets looking delighted from the bottom of her heart

Next to her was Sharon earing Heart Hybrid Gear on top of her goth-loli pilot suit, she was rapidly firing her assault rifle

“It’s really……has been too long Fufu-, this ht be a little nice”

Thanks to getting carried away and firing rapidly, they soon ran out of bullets They ie froe that had run out of bullets And then the cartridge that had become empty was stored back in the waist unit It had the e by creating bullets using Hybrid Count

When Nayuta tried to look at the distance, her gaze was naturally zooure of Masters was transe infor multiple monitors at the same time that was impossible for normal eyes

“Masters……come to think of it before all of you becaear corps of the American army isn’t it?”

Particles of light were ehtly evaded the bullets It really didn’t seem like ain the air with natural movement like a water current It was the proof that she was perfectly controlling the Heart Hybrid Gear like a part of her own body

“I’ll stop her movement!”

The cheapskate Leila with her blonde short cut let loose a shot with short-barreled shotgun in one hand The bullet that was a coht scattered at the area in front of Leila

“I’ll give a large service today even if I’ve got to bleed out e sale of my whole inventory of bullets Just for now, I’ll resolve myself to be in the red!”

Nayuta stoppedin the sky

“Spreading buckshot, a weapon for annihilating enee all at once isn’t it……however, each one of it is really not that strong”

“Uwaa! Irritating! Henrietta, let her have at it!”

At Leila’s side was Henrietta as readying a long anti material rifle

“It helps me that you stop her movement”

When she pulled the trigger, large spark scattered in front of Nayuta A shockwave that was as if a ss

The explosive power of the anti material rifle didn’t exist only at the point of tied was also not so shockwave also hit the side face of all the Masters surrounding Henrietta Even Scarlet as opening herto launch her next payload also flinched reflexively

“Buwah! Hey Henrietta! Shot that thing a little farther from us, that’s a bother!”

“Eeh!? No way, you can say that with a little more……”

Henrietta almost cried from the unreasonable treat bad reputation from her comrades, but there was no effect to Nayuta as if it was just a breeze to her

“Indeed, its destructive power is high But, at this level it won’t even become a test for the Life Saver”

Scarlet opened the missile pod of Ares and aimed at Nayuta who looked disappointed

“Second wave, fire all at once!’

Nayuta was once e amount of flame and smoke that were spurted out from the missile unit wrapped the members of Masters nearby

“Gehoh! Oi, Scarlet! This is not in the level of a mere bother anymore!”

Cleement

“Indeed……it’s eventhan Henrietta’s rifle”

Sharon too was directing moist eyes to Scarlet

“Tha, that can’t be helped! This is e, its destructive power is great!”

Leila spoke as if spitting out at Scarlet that was desperatelyan excuse

“Never mind that, just move away”

Scarlet received a shock and her eyes turned into dots

“WHAT’S THATTTT! Isn’t it fine even if you don’t say it like that!”

Kizuna and Aine stared in astonishe

“They are living in a world that is unrelated ords like nervousness or sense of danger aren’t they……those girls”

“See that idiotic exchange, should I say it’s as expected from them?”

{Kizuna!}

A communication from Reiri opened in front of Kizuna

“Nee-chan! Right now A Kaa-san I too want to recover my Hybrid Count but, is there no way?”

{I’ed to impact at the center of the room you are in Be careful}

“The room’s center you say……!?”

Valdy was still crouching there

Kizuna snapped to hirasped Valdy’s hand

“Stand! Come with me to the balcony!”

While saying that, Kizuna’s ear caught the sound of soh the air

“This is bad! I won’t make it in time!”

Kizuna carried Valdy’s body in his arms and jumped towards the balcony At that moment the wall of the room cracked A bullet with the diah the wall and flew into the rooments of ere scattered all over the carpet and dust rolled up

When the collapsed Kizuna lifted his face, the cannon shell type capsule was sliding in barely ahead of his toes Kizuna released a sigh of relief

“……We are saved somehow”
