Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"【Open】"

"【Traffic Control】!"

Hubie, who was standing alone in front of the two of them, opened a circular light array in front of him. The lightsabers shooting down from the sky were inserted into it, and then changed direction under Hubie's control and bounced onto the wall on the other side.

"boom!"

The attack instantly blew a big hole in the wall. If this attack landed on them, they would be seriously injured...

To put it bluntly, Riku almost died.

"Run!"

Hubie called out to Shinji and the other man, and quickly ran over here.

The intelligence has been collected, and the big guy left behind is of no use to them, so it is definitely not a wise choice to confront the security fortifications of the elves at this time.

But they could think of this, and the people who set up this fortification could also think of this...

Then Shinji and the others discovered that the door they came from was closed, and the huge magic circle under their feet lit up with blue light, locking onto Hubie who was able to use elves.

"!?"

The next moment, a green ball of light wrapped around a ball of white light, instantly trapping Hubie. Amid the surprised expressions of the three people, the ball of white light became more and more dazzling, and Hubie was wrapped in it at a loss.

"Hubby!"

“Run…”

"Tsk... Now I'll remember you, elf!"

Shinji looked unhappy. He quickly turned around and lifted up the long hair covering his left eye. Six black magatama re-condensed in his circles of samsara eyes:

"【Heavenly Hand Power】"

The world suddenly lost its color at that moment, and then Shubi appeared in Shinji's place without any warning.

"Eh?"

Hubie didn't react for a moment, and his body fell from mid-air and sat on the ground.

Riku was also dumbfounded. After a moment's pause, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the ball of light. He saw Shinji floating in it instead of Shubi.

"!"

The next moment, before the two could react, an explosion came towards them, and white mist instantly filled the space...

The air wave blew Riku away for a distance. When he got up, the first thing he did was to look at Shinji's position:

"Shinji! Hey... Shinji! You didn't..."

Halfway through his words, Riku's pupils suddenly shrank.

Following his line of sight, the area in front covered by mist revealed not the blasted flesh and blood as he had imagined, but a swaying purple flame!

"Shinji!"

Hubie was also obviously shocked, and subconsciously scanned the strange energy, but the result was [Unknown]... It was a different energy system from what he had used before...

Giving up on data exploration, Hubie began to look at the scene in front of him with his naked eyes only, and gradually lost consciousness without realizing it.

Compared to the two people who were surprised, Shinji himself noticed something was wrong...

It was obvious that this attack gave him only an average feeling, and the destructive power caused by it when it hit the ground might not be as great as that caused by his casual blow.

After all, it was a device that had been destroyed and abandoned for so long, so it was understandable that its power was a little weak... but even with such an attack, it was able to penetrate his Susanoo's defense!

Shinji felt more and more confused.

...Yes, at that time, Shinji planned to use the Susanoo frame to take the blow.

But the result now is that the skeleton attached to his body has been broken apart by more than half, and now only a few residual flames are left entangled with him...

Shinji couldn't figure out the reason for a moment and could only keep this doubt for the time being. He waved his hand to disperse the purple flames around him and walked towards Shubi and Riku.

The opposite side, Schuebi was still in a daze, but Riku's eyes were full of passion, looking at Shinji as if he had seen a beautiful woman, Shinji felt a chill...

"…What new hobby have you discovered?"

"Ah? Oh... sorry..."

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Riku raised his arm to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, adjusted himself, and asked in a calm tone:

"Actually, I have a very important question to ask you!"

"…you say."

"Can these abilities of yours... be inherited?"

"..."

"Please, this is important to me!"

Shinji pushed him away speechlessly. This guy's calculations had exploded in his face... It seemed like he wanted to use him to modify human genes. Was he really going to let him be his stud?

"Get lost! This is not the kind of cooperation I want to have with you guys."

Shinji said to Riku in a bad mood, and looked at him with contempt... I thought he was a down-and-out hero, but I didn't expect him to be a thick-skinned man with a flexible bottom line.

"Of course I understand. How dare I force you? I am doing this for your own good!"

Facing that contemptuous gaze, Riku showed no pressure at all. He rubbed his hands with a playful smile and approached him in a familiar manner:

"After all, Ex-Machinas don't have a set gender, so you can't stay with Shubi all the time. I'll introduce you to some pretty girls..."

"Don't think about it... I know my own situation very well. Maybe it's because the energy volume exceeds the human range, or it may be other reasons. In short, the probability of me giving birth to a viscount is much lower than that of ordinary people..."

Shinji felt helpless when he thought of this. Although his essence was still human, he also had some attributes of a heroic spirit and a god. What's worse, he also had this indescribable thing called black mud.

Thinking back to the time when Sakura had been with him for more than a year and still hadn’t gotten pregnant, it would naturally be even more difficult now.

"So it can be inherited?"

...This guy can always find something different from others. It's a waste of your talent to keep you in this world.

But Shinji thought about it again, it seems that his abilities, apart from that lump of black mud, are all hereditary... which means that if he has a child, then this child will definitely be a super genius...

Looking at Riku who was getting closer, Shinji nodded in disdain and hurried away, while Riku, who received the affirmation, was instantly ecstatic.

Mysterious spatial abilities, defensive abilities that can resist the magic of the elves, and offensive abilities that can severely injure demons with one strike...

All these things that he had never dared to imagine before actually happened to a human being. It can be said that he now even wants to turn himself into a woman and find Shinji to have a child.

[I really need to discuss this matter with Kelong when I get back...]

……

After a brief interlude, the energy of the attack technique that had just been released seemed to have been exhausted, and the dark red engravings on the surrounding stone pillars also dimmed.

The three of them also began to return the same way they came. They had to leave before other powerful races noticed the fluctuations of the elves here, otherwise all their future plans would be in vain.

It's a pity that this is not something they can choose...

"If I go out in this situation, I probably won't last more than three seconds..."

"Don't feel inferior. In fact, even I wouldn't be able to hold on for a few seconds..."

“…Hubby is fine!”

"Shut up."

The three of them stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the [black ash] dancing like a blizzard outside, and finally decided to wait here until it calmed down outside before leaving.

Riku took out a black stone and placed it on a wooden tray filled with water. After a while, it emitted a dim yellow light like a candle.

The three of them sat down around the only light source and started staring at each other.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I just told you to prepare some entertainment..."

"Stop talking so much... Next time I will..."

"..."

"By the way, Riku, have you ever seen a Flügel?"

"No, those monsters are basically extinct. I only learned about it from various intelligence reports."

Then they both looked at Hubie at the same time, and she nodded to show that she knew.

"The Flügel are weapons created by the God of War, Artor, to kill gods. Each individual has a perverted obsession with fighting, and their hobby is collecting the heads of powerful opponents."

“…This is a really bad hobby.”

"Also, the Flügel are a special race. When multiple Flügel hunt together, they can even kill higher-ranking [Giants] and [Dragon Spirits]."

"So the situation here is that they are at war with the elves?"

"Do not…"

"According to the data, there were thousands of elf magicians here, and it was also the capital of the [Elves]... But the current ruins were only caused by a Flügel."

"One!"

Shinji and Riku were both surprised. They knew that the difference in combat power was huge, but they didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. It was like a child's play...

Hubie looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and decided to reveal a little more information:

"Among the [fifteen races] that exist in this world, the seventh to fifteenth are lower races, which are [living things], while the sixth to first are higher races, which are called [life]."

"Because they have already transcended the boundaries of normal creatures, the attacks they release at will are considered magic, so there have been cases of superiors and inferiors killing each other, but there have been almost no cases of inferior races killing superior races..."

"Almost? Does that mean there is some?"

"Yes."

"Then the case is..."

"Ex-Machina."

Riku suddenly interrupted and said with a serious face:

"…The Ex-Machinas, who belong to the same special race as the Flügels, are the only group that has killed a higher-ranked race across levels…"

After saying this, Shinji found that the atmosphere around him seemed to become a little strange...
