Prologue

Part 1

That place was an oasis in the middle of desert

Greenery was spreading at the vicinity of the large river, people gathered, creating a city The town ined such procession

There was no wall around the city, trees with tall height were planted, starting the city leniently There was no external eneht of sun was reflected, buildings built fro in row

“……Is that the place?”

A girl covered in aon the sand, her hood was deeply lowered to evade the bright sunlight

It was as though the buildings were made from piled up square blocks Generally there were a lot of the buildings that had two or three floors, it wasn’t a city that was that tall Because of that, the presence of the gigantic structure at the outskirt of the city felt even more bizarre

A gigantic rectangle cone built from piled up stones The so called pyramid

Its height was about three hundred meters

It was unclear just for what it was built and what kind of role it carried on However, the gigantic structure that was enshrouded in uessing such thing and caused theht of awe

After staring at that pyra behind footprint on the sand The sleeve of the irl entered the lone city of desert

When she entered inside the city passing through the trees that blocked the wind, a well ordered townscape was spreading before her The buildingsup properly at both sides of the street The buildings facing the e, and counter and shelves inside could be seen The street was co, The sand blown in fro away smoothly

Frolance, the scenery was like a city that often existed in the middle of desert

But there was one thing, that was obviously eerie

That was the resident of this city

In the end, was it okay to call them as human?

On the limbs that were slim like branch, was smooth head A body that exposed out a frae The residents of this city were all in possession of machine body Perhaps it was for maintenance, or maybe it was for anti-corrosive, or possible because it was for sand repellent, their bodies rapped with long clothes that were like bandage Their appearances were just like mummy

Without uttering a single word, the residents were groaning out low sound of ly That sight was abnorht was as though a great nu the city

A without fear She moved out her hand from below the mantel and lowered down her hood even lower to hide her face That fingers and hand rapped in bandage

Her injury was still not coe unexpectedly also beca became a little comforted

Nevertheless, the eerie residents walking throughout the city, were theythe street with shaky footstep, so still at the shop’s counter

By any chance, were they dead people, and now they were repeating their act while they were still living? Such thinking suddenly welled up However, there was no way to ascertain that

In front of the girl, a gigantic as standing in her way There was a huge gate with height that was reaching ten ht of the ere built at both sides They were statue of fe on a chair with their upper body naked

The girl looked up at the gigantic statue Hairstyle that was cut and evened up Beautifully arranged face

‘――This woman, is she the God of this place?’

“Then this place is a shrine, or maybe a palace……”

After whispering that, the girl passed between the two statues For a place where the authority was living, there was no presence of people Or rather, there was no scent of the living from this whole city

After walking for a while there was a stair idth After cli and decorated wall that was ant than the lower level

Perhaps thecareful while advancing through the corridor

“Hm?”

Her legs stopped when she felt human presence

There was no door at the entrance that was gouged out in the white wall There was only thin clothes hanged down as the replaceirl approached near the entrance, she peeked inside the rooap between the fabric

While simple, it was a beautiful rooht of quality of the h class impression The wall and also the floor were covered hite stone that was polished like a ely opened wide, it was as though the blue sky outside was cut square and put inside

With that blue sky as the background, there was a faht Golden colored hair and blue eyes And then large breasts that were filled to bursting On her chest was a wide necklace of gold and jewel hanging down, but her essential breasts were exposed without anything to hide them On her waist was thin clothes wrapped around, but it was only sohtly be tied there That person’s voluptuous body was hidden unsatisfactorily while the person was standing still like aby in front of her master

‘――That person’

The girl opened the fabric that was the replacement for a door and entered inside the room

“So you are in this kind of place, Yurishi+a Farandole”

As though noticing that voice, Yurishi+a lifted her face

“……ah”

“Are you the only one here? Where is Nee-sama?”

The girl whose head was covered by hood ran toward Yurishi+a However looking at the figure approaching her, Yurishi+a’s expression becaerous

“Such impertinence to enter Osiris-sama’s room without permission!”

“――!?”

Yurishi+a’s killing intent stopped the girl’s legs

“Cross!”

In a moment Yurishi+a’s body was equipped with ar blue And then the Differential Frae caliber particle cannon was assaulting the girl

Intense particle of light erased the body of the girl The hood and also the irl’s body was also scattered apart in an instant, it ht even be possible that the body had been evaporated into nothing

However――,

“What an unexpected greeting”

It was as though the golden particles Yurishi+a launched were coiling around the girl’s body before they were absorbed into that sirl’s skin was increasing in glossiness and tightness, her pink colored hair was shi+ning even more beautifully

“This is! Don’t tell me……”

Yurishi+a opened her eyes wide in shock

“Or else is that your idea of welcoratitude toward me who finally came here to meet you”

After receiving the attack of Yurishi+a in full power, a hearty laughing voice was raised After receiving the attack of Heart Hybrid Gear, far froirl made it into her oer in reverse There was only one person who could do so like that

At the back of the girl, gold and silver wings were spreading wide Wings of only bones And then every single one of those bones beca coldly

Magic Arhter And then, the owner of that was――,

“Grace……why, are you here?”

Cold sas trickling down Yurishi+a’s cheek

As though to ridicule Yurishi+a as like that, Vatlantis Ely with her body bending backward

“That’sto suddenly launch attack to me?”

“That’s because Yurishi+a has become my loyal servant”

A clear voice rang

The floor of the room becaher the floor becale fe there Grace didn’t notice that presence until now No, when she entered the room that presence shouldn’t be there

Grace stared at that female to appraise her

The feant smile with queenly behavior She possessed tanned skin with straight black hair that was beautifully cut evenly That figure completely resembled the statue at the entrance of this shrine

And then at the side of the chair there was a golden lump that was like a small mountain When that lu

That was a mechanical lion And then at the back of the chair, there was aIts face was round, its ie was closest with a falcon But the size of the body wasn’t close When it spread its wings, the length of the wings ht reach six meter

Yurishi+a kneeled and lowered her face toward that female

‘――Judging from this, Yurishi+a blurted out just now that this woman is [Osiris-sama] huh I don’t kno this wouard down’

Grace heightened her vigilance toward the woman in front of her eyes

“Are you, the master of this place?”

That feently to Grace’s question

“Yes My name is Osiris The queen of this world”

“……I see So you are one of Deus ex Machina, Osiris What a fortuitous luck For the first place I arrived at after being sed inside the space-time tsunami to be the world we searched for”

Osiris narrowed her eyes toward Grace as s proudly

“That’s because I guided you here”

“――What did you say?”

“That space-ti I caused So that all of you will arrive in our grasp”

Grace thought her words as falsehood Certainly it ht be possible for Deus ex Machina to do that But, if that was really the case then everything were dancing on top of this Osiris’s hand That was sonize

“Hou You said so If that’s the case, then why did you intentionally summon us the enemy?”

Osiris chuckled ‘fufu’ joyfully

“I’ of you as enemy All of you, are our experiment result”

Grace gritted her teeth It was an irritating way of saying it, but that was also the truth

“But, all of you are failed product I was thinking that Thanatos would surely lost interest and abandoned this result However Thanatos collected all of you and planned to erased you all But, like that I will be troubled”

“……?”

‘――What does thatto help us?’

“I want living, organic, biological body”

Grace i hope From this Osiris, she could smell the same scent with that Nayuta

“You should understand after watching this city aren’t you? There is no living hu machine)”

“True, there are only those eerie bunches here As expected those guys are really dead people then”

“They are not dead people I cannot say they are living, but thethe in this world, they were hunawed by death I didn’t want to let the people died with my whole heart, so that the soul wouldn’t leave this world even though their flesh died, I commanded to mechanize the corpse And what resulted from that, are they the undead”

Tone of sadness was coloring Osiris’s voice That was the proof that this world wasn’t so the people into that appearance was unintentional

“I am the queen of this Necropolis(City of the Dead) I have the duty to guide them”

Osiris stood up fro lion was also standing up, the falcon also spread its wings

Osiris’s eyes were shi+ning gold

“Not the living but also not the dead For the sake of saving them who are in such existences, the existences of all of you are necessary Now, offer that body for me”

The graceful tanned arms pointed at Grace Thereupon a noise ran in front of those are pyramid was piled up instantly

That was an object like a reversed pyralass Near its surface was transparent blue color, but the nearer to its center part the darker the color becah the pyra was lurking at its depth, Grace could feel such eeriness

‘――What in the world, is that?’

That pyrah to protect Osiris And then it produced a faint vibrating sound while approaching Grace gradually There was decoration of closed eyelid at its sides,

Sweat trickled down Grace’s back

The opponent was that Deus ex Machina It was still fresh in her mind how Hokuta htest carelessness would beca had been deeply rooted in her bone

“I see Well, if that is what our creator is telling us, it cannot be helped then”

Putting her hand on her cheek, Osiris smiled happily

“My, what an obedient child you are It seems that you are Yurishi+a’s friend, then I will especially use your body as the body of hter’s friend”

“Hou, your……what!?”

Once again Grace stared at Osiris’s body as though she was licking all over the body The largely jutting out breast and the tight sto ass below

‘――That body doesn’t look like a body that has ever been pregnant at all……’

At the Atlantis where Grace lived there was only wo Genesis However while she was spending her tie like the reproduction act of male and female

Nevertheless, how to do it physically using the body For Grace she was unable to understand thatenjoyable

“I aed for that consideration Also……there should be, one more person who is our companion but, is that person not here?”

“One more person? No, I don’t know about that……most likely that person was collected by the other Deus ex Machina I guess”

Grace clenched her fist hard, to the degree that her nail dug into her flesh

‘――So this is a pointless waste of time’

Osiris h to command the blue pyramid

“Now, you too become the people of Necropolis”

The eyelids attached at the sides of the blue pyraht shi+ned, lulobe appeared fro in the bright white globe

‘――Dangerous-!’

Detecting danger instinctually, Grace averted her eyes And then she kicked on the floor and ran toward the openedAnd then just like that she jumped toward the sky

“Ah-!”

The unexpected moves and fleard the sky

“I won’t let you get away!”

Yurishi+a converted her Differential Frae amount of particles were spouted out

“Wait, Yurishi+a”

Osiris raised her palm and stopped Yurishi+a

“However……”

Yurishi+a looked up to the sky in vexation The blue sky was spreading wide there, but the figure of Grace was already lost froht

“I don’t mind At any rate, she cannot escape from this world after all”

“……My deepest apologies”

Perhaps thinking that Grace’s escape was her own failure, Yurishi+a dropped her gaze to the floor dejectedly

Osiris descended the stair and then when she arrived in front of Yurishi+a she stroked her cheek
