Chapter 259
Countless muzzles were aimed, and the trigger was pulled.
To the people of this land, it was a weapon of mass destruction beyond imagination, but not to Dale.
Amidst the hail of bullets, Dale raised his pitch-black shield.
Simultaneously, the Outsiders began to move.
It was swift. Movements surpassing even knights who had reached the realm of avatars. And upon seeing that form, I understood.
Unlike mages or knights who processed power through heart circles and aura hearts, these outsiders did not.
They freely fused with the mana in the air, without any separate processes involving nanomachines.
It was identical to the power once demonstrated by the hero and the goddess Sistina.
How did these beings even remember the form of firearms in the first place? How did they know that the mana in the air was nanomachines?
‘Surely not…’
After pondering that far, Dale asked again.
“Sistina, was it you?”
That day, I saw her hologram freeze before the universe’s winter. But it was only a hologram to begin with. Her true essence is already the electrons and light information enveloping this planet.
“…….”
Simultaneously, the Outsiders’ maneuvers halted completely.

Before long, a blue hologram appeared there.
─ And to fulfill that duty, I created the ‘Ascended Soldiers’ to carry out my mission.
