"Super-tier Magic! Skyfall!"
Without the slightest hesitation, and even with a casualness akin to "testing a new toy," Momonga directly crushed a pay-to-win item for quick magic release!
For him, a pay-to-win warrior, problems that could be solved with money were never problems.
Starting with a super-tier magic capable of clearing the entire area!
This was the greatest "respect" for that twisted creation that desecrated life, and also the most efficient solution.
In an instant, directly above The God of True Mechanism's massive body, the Akasha was forcibly torn apart like a curtain!
A colossal, dazzlingly complex magic circle, radiating destructive power, instantly unfurled, covering nearly half the sky!
Within the magic circle, countless profound runes flickered and flowed like stars, and unimaginable, terrifying magic power furiously converged and compressed within it!
The next second, giving The God of True Mechanism no chance to react or defend—
A pale pillar of light, composed purely of destructive energy, as if from beyond the world, fell with a crash from the center of the magic circle like a spear of divine punishment! It struck The God of True Mechanism with pinpoint accuracy!
Buzz—!!!!
There was no deafening explosion, only a terrifying hum, as if space itself was wailing, being forcibly torn apart!
The four corrupted elements instantly melted away like snow in the sun before this absolute magical suppression!
The God of True Mechanism's hard armor, twisted flesh, and the blasphemous mass of flesh at its core couldn't withstand the impact of this pale pillar of light for even a second. It was instantly vaporized, decomposed, and annihilated into its most basic particles, like a wax figure thrown into a steel furnace!
When the blinding light of the super-tier magic finally dissipated, all that remained where The God of True Mechanism had stood was a colossal, smooth, bottomless circular crater. The rocks and soil at the edges even showed a vitrified, crystalline texture due to the instantaneous high temperature.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Not even a speck of residue remained.
Momonga: "???"
Supreme Being, standing on Gargantua's shoulder, also seemed to have a momentary look of bewilderment on his smooth skull face.
The crimson soul fire in his eye sockets flickered twice in confusion.
No... it can't be, can it? That's it?
The God of True Mechanism! Doesn't that name sound like a final BOSS configuration? It appeared so terrifying, its design was so Lovecraftian, its prestige so high!
It made me so nervous that I specifically chanted buffs for a full minute: 'High-tier All-Attribute Enhancement,' 'Infinite Barrier,' 'Essence of Life,' 'Angel's Soul'... I almost maxed out my mana bar!
And then... you were instantly killed by a casually cast super-tier magic?! Without even a second phase?!
Then what was the point of me summoning Gargantua? To stand high and see far? Or just to be a fancy mount?! This experience is terrible!
Just as Momonga began to doubt his life, wondering if his excessive pay-to-win spending had led to a serious miscalculation of his strength, he received a stream of information directly from the quartet.
Instantly, he understood the cause and effect, as well as the upcoming plan.
"So that's it... a forcibly activated defective product, with its core still driven by such an evil method... no wonder it's strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
Momonga understood. Then, he raised his right hand, displaying a ring on his index finger that was ancient in design but contained unimaginable power.
The meteor ring—this was a top-tier limited item he had obtained back in the YGGDRASIL game, after spending all his summer rewards and nearly going bankrupt!
Its effect was simple and brutal: it allowed three uses of the super-tier magic, Wish Upon a Star!
This magic could grant any wish within the user's energy limit!
"Ring, heed my wish!"
Momonga's magically altered, authoritative voice echoed across the battlefield.
"In the name of Ainz Ooal Gown! Resurrect all those who died in this battle at the hands of the Nazarick army!"
He paused intentionally, then added, "Oh, except for the monstrosity inside The God of True Mechanism; let it rest in peace forever (or rather, be completely annihilated)."
The next moment, the meteor ring erupted with an incredibly strong yet gentle pure white radiance!
This light was not dazzling, but it spread incredibly quickly, like a warm tide, gently enveloping the entire ruined Sumeru City, and even covering the areas outside the city.
Wherever the light passed, the scars of war seemed to be smoothed over, the smell of blood purified, and the air filled with a vibrant, fresh aura.
When this sacred white light slowly dissipated, a miraculous scene appeared on the battlefield that left all survivors dumbfounded—
Those Graded Mercenaries, matra, and even unfortunate civilians who had fallen in pools of blood and lost their lives... their wounds were healing at a visible rate!
Severed limbs regenerated! Pale complexions became rosy again!
Then, amidst soft coughs and confused groans, they all opened their eyes, sat up in bewilderment, and looked around, as if they had just woken from a long nightmare!
The dead revived! The injured healed! Mass resurrection!
"Uh... what am I doing here..."
"Didn't I die?"
"Dehya! Dehya, you're awake! That's great!"
"Cyno! Alhaitham! You too..."
Deep within the Akademiya, in a perfectly concealed observation room.
"This... what kind of power is this?!"
Another segment of Dottore, the Doctor, saw the white light of resurrection covering the entire city outside through a device, and the dead rising one by one. For the first time, he lost his composure, his eyes wide, his face filled with unprecedented shock and greed!
"Reversing life and death?! Large-scale, indiscriminate, instant resurrection?! This has already touched upon... no! It has surpassed the power of world rules!"
He frantically recorded data, his body trembling slightly with excitement.
"If I can analyze this power... if I can obtain it..."
However, just as he was fully absorbed in this incredible "miracle"—
Pfft!
A cold, gleaming silver sword tip, without warning, pierced through his chest!
Intense pain and the debilitating sensation of his energy core being destroyed instantly overwhelmed Dottore!
He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, turning his head back with disbelief and difficulty.
Standing behind him was a knight clad in silver armor, magnificent and solemn in appearance, radiating an aura of pure justice!
The knight's faceplate (?) concealed his features, revealing only a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's, filled with unwavering resolve.
"Who... who are you?!"
Dottore shrieked with difficulty, completely unaware of when or how the other party had appeared in this absolutely secure secret room!
The silver knight slowly withdrew his longsword, his voice, steady and powerful through the faceplate, as if he himself were the embodiment of "justice":
"Merely a passing Knight of Justice. You, evil wretch, are not worthy of knowing my name!"
As his voice faded, Takemikazuchi watched Dottore's segment fall heavily to the ground, filled with endless astonishment and unwillingness, completely losing its life.
Subsequently, Takemikazuchi's figure, like a completed illusion, slowly faded, finally transforming into a chess piece and disappearing, returning to the hands of the distant quartet.
The secret room fell silent once more, leaving only Dottore's other gradually chilling corpse, and his unfulfilled, greedy craving for forbidden power.
