As a result of our discussions, we have decided to break the boundaries of the island and interact with the outside world. We look forward to working with you.
Thank you. We, Brunhild, will help you in the cause of peace on Parellius Island.

　He shook the hand of the central imam who was offered to him. The island of Parellius was to undo the warding and deal with the outside world.
　Immediately, in order to stop the function of the magic tool, Artifact, which was the keystone of the ward, we headed to the basement of the central temple. At the end of the spiral staircase down to the basement, in the center of the underground level, there was a black stone slab with a large, shining red magic stone embedded in it, the Monolith.
　It was one meter wide, two meters high and about 20 centimeters thick. It's about the size of a large door.

''This is the source of the boundary...''
''It seems that similar stone slabs, or monoliths, in different parts of the island are generating wards in conjunction with this one. So if we can stop this one in the center, all the wards should disappear.

　As I listen to the Central Imam's explanation, I reach for the stone slab. Then I feel a touch like a cushion of air and my hand doesn't go any closer to the stone slab. Is it a magic barrier? Is it a safety device?
　This must be another effect of this stone tablet "monolith". And if it's there, this barrier itself should be able to be disabled by hitting Initialize.
　I could also disable it with Cracking, but this would be her role. The Central Imam takes out the Initialize from his pocket and approaches the stone tablet.
　I release the wards that have protected or contained the island for five thousand years. I, as an outsider, have no idea how much of that is in my heart. But I do know that he made this decision with a great deal of determination.
　The moment the syringe-shaped "Initialize" is held at the ready and its tip touches the magic barrier, the imam pushes the syringe's plunger, the pushers called plunger, with his thumb.
　An explosive amount of magic power was poured into the stone plate at once. The granting of "nothingness" is overridden, and the magical stone that had been radiant is losing its light.
　The warding that had covered this island for five thousand years had just now disappeared.
　In order to confirm, I send a telepathic message to Red Ball in the sky above the island and Coral & Kuroshio in the sea.

''What do you think? Are the wards gone?
''Yes. The magical diffusion field that surrounded the sky above the island seems to have dissipated.
"It's the same here. The fog's gone. That'll be enough to dock the boats out there.

　Report from the summoner to the Central Imam. The island has now been liberated.
　Now there's a big cleanup left to do.





　With quick footwork to the right and left, Lou's riding Valtraute ducks the scattered bullets of needles that the hedgehog-like giant beast releases from its body.
　This is the effect of the "B Unit" equipped on its back. It is an exclusive support unit for the Valtraute, with its multi-directional vernier armor that allows it to move and accelerate quickly. The B is the B in BOOSTER, the booster.
　When Valtraute approached the hedgehog, it repatriated the B unit on its back, and this time summoned the A unit, which had four swords housed in its back and waist. By the way, A is the A of ATTACKER 《Attacker》.
　The docking with the unit takes about a second. He immediately pulled out the dagger at his waist from both sides and slashed off the needles on the body of the hedgehog that was trying to escape, one after another.
　Suddenly, the hedgehog curled up its body and pounced on Valtraute like a ball. Valtraute ducked the attack with no difficulty, but the hedgehog continued to roll away from the scene.
　However, Roux didn't panic and turned off the A-Unit at his waist, causing a large cannon to appear on his right shoulder. He supports it with both hands and digs his heel anchor into the ground. It's the "C unit" for long range shooting. By the way, C is the C of CASTER 《Caster》.
　The bullets shot out with a roar, the fleeing hedgehog is surely shot through and falls on the spot.

"Oh, you got him?

　As I use Long Sense to skip my vision and confirm that the giant beast is dead, the soldiers of the southern city head out to deal with the hedgehog at the signal of the Dient representative.
　It's a stripping away of materials. It's a time-consuming process, as things are things, but we won't touch it, as we'll provide all the materials to them.
　Lou comes down from Valtraute, who has repatriated the C-Unit to Babylon.

"Hey, good job. How was it?
No problem. The conversion went off without a hitch, and I was able to get it working just the way I wanted. I'm sure it will be enough to help everyone on the battlefield.

　Lou's aircraft, the Valtraute, is primarily designed to play out. It doesn't have any outstanding abilities, but it's a kind of all-around type that is made to cope under all kinds of battle conditions. With this ability, it is the role of this aircraft to run through the battlefield and provide a variety of support.
　Of course, it also has considerable potential on its own.
　As well as this one, I've already dispatched troops to the east, north, and west of the city to hunt giant beasts. Now that the warding has been lifted, it's possible to search for them from Babylon. It's only a matter of time before they are eradicated from the island.
　Of course, even though the warding is gone, there are still magical elemental pools in various areas. Although it doesn't mean that all of the giant beasts will disappear immediately, there should still be much less worry about being attacked by giant beasts outside the capital, just like the past.
　For now, this will reduce the threat of giant beasts, and first of all, the merchant fleet will be coming from Elfrau in the near future, so after that, we can have mutual discussions to decide on various things. I'm sure it's going to be difficult at first, though, since our currencies are different.
　To be honest, what I'm more concerned about is the cocoon of the Evil God than the giant beasts and the island.
　Even though it's the lowest class, it's still a god. I can't even imagine what kind of evil gods that ate and took in that power are.
　If the World God was regenerated like me, it's still a matter of the World God trying to create a vessel of his own to house the power of a god, so it seems that that cocoon won't hatch that easily, but.......
　The sisters also seem to be taking a look at the unexpected events for a while and are still on earth. I heard that the subordinate gods are of secondary importance and that they are also responsible for educating me, the new god. I don't recall that they educated me much.
　Well, it's nice to have someone to talk to.

"What's wrong?
Oh, no, it's nothing.

　Apparently I've been thinking about it, and Lou has been worried about me. Oh no good, now I have to take care of the things in front of me one by one.
　Speaking of which, Imam Central showed me the research material left by Arelius Parellius. It's 5,000 years old and they couldn't decipher it, but we have a guy who lived 5,000 years before that.
　We have photocopied every book in the book and sent it to Babylon to see if Dr. Wells can tell us anything about the boundaries of the world, and he is currently holed up in his lab.
　I wondered how a 5,000 year old book had survived without losing its shape, but it seems that there was a protective spell cast over that area as well, the same as the "protection".
　Originally, it is said that some protection magic had a method of partially diverging the flow of time and stalling the changes caused by time. It would not be surprising if a wizard, who was even called the Sage of Time, could handle it.
　And while I was thinking about that, I received a phone call from the person looking into it.

'Yes, hello?'
'Winter's night? I found something in old Parellius' study that caught my eye. I'd like you to have a look at it.
Okay. I'll come by in a minute.

　I reply and hang up. The thing you're wondering about? What have you found?





Look at this.

　In the second lab of the "laboratory" where the doctor was holed up, he was shown something that looked like a notebook on the desk.
　On the page that was opened, something like armor was drawn on it. However, the joints and partial parts are strangely mechanical.

''Is this........frame gear?''
No, it's not. I built the original frame gear from scratch, and although I had completed it 5,000 years ago, it had never been shown anywhere. And it's too small. At best, it's about the size of a human being.

　Small? Is it like a power suit by any chance? Like mechanical armor that humans could wear and operate in a variety of environments? The Sage of Time even made this stuff.
　However, the doctor shook his head at my thoughts.

'If that's the case, then the text on this magic tool [artifact] is a bit strange. For something you made yourself, the power source is atmospheric magic and sunlight? "Autonomous, Independent Thinking, Extracting Consciousness from People? Or maybe I'll write it down. It's as if I wrote down something I'd never seen or heard of before. And here.

　The doctor points to a sentence on the edge of the notebook. I can't read the Partheno alphabet without using magic. As if sensing this, he utters the sentence.

'The Wheel of Time and the Gates of Dimension, visitors to the neighboring worlds. Old Parellius had studied the dimensional gates. It's only possible - but it's possible - that Old Parellius couldn't travel to another world, but he may have succeeded in summoning those from that world from another world.

　Summoning me from another world? How is that even possible? No, the summoning technique is similar. Is there anything you can't do?
　But either way, with the construction of that dimensional gate, you're going to need an enormous amount of magic power, right?

Or you've met a visitor from another world.
'Hmmm ... I still feel like that's more likely.

　And there are guys like Ende who have the ability to cross the world.

'Perhaps, having met with that visitor, Old Parellius was trying to create a dimensional gate.

　It's not impossible... but if that's the case, then this mechanical armor is a visitor from another world? Otherworldly robots rather than otherworldly people?
　Well, I guess there are a lot of worlds out there, so maybe there are those machine-only worlds. Like a planet of mechanical life? I don't think it's going to transform into a car or something.
　A visitor from a neighboring world.......hey.
　Come to think of it, I saw a mechanical bus that looked like a crab over there. I thought it was a vehicle, but maybe it was a mechanical life form.... Maybe such things are common in other countries.
　I still have a feeling that Old Parellius had something to do with the restoration of the ward 5,000 years ago. It's still only a hunch though.

''By the way, have you completed the dimensional gate?
Somehow. You'll find them in Sheska's Hanging Gardens. It's set up in Sheska's Hanging Garden, along with a magic tank. You can draw magic power from this tank and use it for various purposes even without Fuyuya-kun's presence, so you can inject it whenever you're free. It can be compressed quite a bit, so I think its magic capacity is quite large. It's also possible to amplify it with the Tower of Babylon.

　I see, it's linked to the "tower". That sounds like you can expect quite a bit then. Well, I'm not using it that much all the time.
　It's probably more than enough to supply the magic power for Amber and the other summoned beasts. I'm sure it can last for several decades. I hope you won't be in a situation where you have to leave this world for several decades.

That's why I want you to experiment with activating the gate. After all, taking me to the other side of the world...
We can't. I can take you with me, but the doctor can't come back. If that's what you want to do, you'll have to find a place and materials to set up a similar dimension gate over there.
"Mmm. Well, I guess we'll have to put up with that for a while...

　In my case, I can return via the God Realm, but an ordinary human (not exactly ordinary) like the Doctor can't go through that route. Only those who have been summoned by a god or the World God can come to the God Realm.
　If we can secure land and materials in the other world, bring in the same dimensional gates as this one, and connect the gates between the other side and this one, ordinary humans might be able to come and go freely, but that's not possible right now.
　For now, I'll just pour the magic power into the cylindrical thing that was built in the 'garden' that looks like a 'tank'.
　It certainly seems to hold quite a bit of magic. I injected about half of my own magic power into the tank, and then connected the path of magic power supply to Amber and the others to this one. Yeah, it looks like there's no problem.
　If it's just an experiment to activate the gate, there's no need to go to the other world, but it's too early to go to verify the flow of time with the other side and all that. Besides, I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't get a good look at it.
　When I told Yumina and the others on the phone about it, I thought they would stop me, but surprisingly, they gave me permission easily. It may be because I was recognized as a god because of what happened the other day. Just in case, though, I promised I'd bring back a souvenir as well.
　The period was one day. Well, because of the time difference when we crossed over, it was a day and a half in fact.
　I've made an acquaintance over there, and if I can use his help to get some land and materials, I'll be fine.
　Well, I'm hoping to do a little sight-seeing for a little bit of a boot-up experiment. If something goes wrong, I'm sure my sisters will contact me, so it should be fine.
　The magic power is poured into the duplicate of the dimensional gate installed in the "garden". You've taken quite a bit of magic power, including the amount you injected into the tank. Well, I'll be able to recover all of it in a few hours.
　The tachometer attached to the gate pointed to 100%, and a landscape appeared inside the gate.
　Huh? Not in the woods like before. I see a rocky hill that looks like a beach. Let's go for it anyway.
　The doctor sees me off and I walk through the gate. I get the same strange, clinging sensation I had before. I don't like this.
　After passing through the gate, I found myself at the rocky beach. I could see the ocean, hear the tidal wave and the chirping of a black-tailed sea cucumber.
　Did we go to a completely different place than the other day?

We need to know where we are now.

　Well, I'm stuck, I'm stuck. I haven't put anything about this world on my phone yet, so I can't search the map. I have a map that Sancho let me copy for you.
　As we walked along the shoreline, we met a lone fisherman. He was hanging his fishing rod on a rock wall.
　Using translation magic, I ask him to tell me my current location with a picture of this world map that he took out.
　Hmm, it's pretty far from where I've moved to before. Is this related to the misalignment between Parelius Island and Brunhild? Or is it just a random connection?
　Anyway, let's head to Aren, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Arendt, where Sancho-san has a shop.
　It's hard to tell on the map because the sides are reversed, but our current location is in the original world, around the Felsen Kingdom, and the Holy Land of Arendt is around the Rhodomere Federation.
　A quick hop on the fly will get you there in no time.

Okay, let's go then.

　After disappearing in "Invisible", it takes off in one fell swoop.
　When I look at it from the sky, it looks just like our world.
　As I was thinking about this, a large airship passes by me from the other side. I slowly follow it with my eyes and return my gaze to the front.
　I withdraw my previous statement. Maybe it's quite different. Apparently, when it comes to science, this world may be a little more advanced than ours.
　Well, at any rate, you'll learn a lot more once you get to King's Landing. I further increased my speed and headed towards the Holy Kingdom.
