At the same time.
In the distant sky, a battleship floated in the clouds, as if it was swimming in the sea of clouds.
In the main bridge of the battleship, on the captain's seat in the center, the mastermind of the rebellion was being bandaged with his upper body bare.
"Please be sure not to pull the wound."
While bandaging Edmond's upper body, Guretham looked at the blood that was constantly seeping out of the bandage and warned him with a grave expression.
"His Royal Highness' injury is more serious than we thought. A few rough bandages can't be effectively treated. The army has been wiped out, and no one here can use healing magic. If you don't pay attention, your injury may become more serious. Please be more careful."
Guretham admonished Edmond like this. Beside him stood the expressionless Heifield.
In the face of Guretan's advice, Edmond seemed a little indifferent.
"This injury is a necessary expense before ascending the throne and standing at the top of the world."
Edmond didn't care about the injury on his body at all. The bandage wrapped around his upper body was still oozing blood, but he didn't show any expression of pain at all. Instead, he corrected Guretan.
"Also, I am not His Royal Highness, but His Majesty."
Edmond corrected him as a matter of course.
This meant that Edmond had regarded the throne of England as his own.
However, based on the current situation, this could not be said to be arrogant and conceited.
"Open your eyes, Daedalus."
Edmund was on the bridge, giving orders.
"Clink!"
Suddenly, inside the bridge, the walls and the ceiling became transparent, reflecting the scene outside the ship.
"Is this magic?" Guretan was startled, but then he shook his head and said, "No, this should not be the effect of Daedalus' magic circuit. It should be the perception ability of Eve's Heart in Daedalus' body, right?"
Guretan said with certainty, which made Edmond admire him.
"That's right. What's presented in front of us now isn't the scene that Daedalus' magic showed, but the scene that Daedalus saw projected into the interior of the bridge. Although it requires extremely precise magical control, it's not considered magic."
Edmond admitted that.
That was one of the magical aspects of Eve's Heart.
Although the function of this circuit was to give life and soul to an automaton, it had a high degree of freedom. Not only would it give the automaton intelligence, but if an outstanding Puppeteer were to create it, it could even reproduce the characteristics of a living being such as breathing, sweating, and even digesting food. Of course, it could also be converted into intelligence, muscle strength, sensory organs, and so on. As long as it was something that a living being could do, with Puppeteer's technology, most of it could be recreated.
That was the structure of the Snowgetsuka series, which was almost the same as human beings. Except for physiological phenomena such as childbirth, they basically had all the vital signs that human girls could have. Therefore, Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki also needed to eat like human beings.
The same was true for the "Demon Sword" series of Forbidden Dolls. For example, Sigmund himself could expand and fly with wings, which was also the reason why its creator used Eve's Heart to imitate the characteristics of the legendary dragon.
That was what Daedalus was showing now. Projecting the scene he saw on the bridge was not a magic effect.
So, both Edmond and Gureytan saw the scene outside the ship.
The first thing they saw was Ivan, who was standing at the forefront of the deck.
Ivan was singing to the boundless sky, letting the song spread continuously, covering the entire city.
Under the effect of the song, there were many automatons moving around in the city of Qiao City.
There were police-type automatons patrolling the streets.
There were military-type automatons neatly arranged.
The rest of the various automatons were also assigned to every corner of the city, blocking the entire city.
These automatons had no controller around them, and all of them acted autonomously. Once they saw human beings, they would even take the initiative to attack, causing chaos and panic in the entire city.
Edmond looked at this scene and showed an unruly smile.
"As long as I provide magical power alone, Ivan can spread Absolute Royalty to the entire mechanized city under the effect of Infinite Chain Reaction, and completely control the automatons in the entire mechanized city, so that I can easily get a mechanized army that is comparable to the power of a country. It's amazing."
That was the horror of Absolute Royalty combined with Infinite Chain Reaction.
"All the automatons within the range of effect have become my pawns."
"The automatons outside the range of effect don't dare to attack rashly, otherwise they will be under my command the moment they step into the city."
"If you want to deal with me, you can only send an army composed of pure human beings, but even if ordinary human beings are armed, they are not as good as a mechanical army that can use thousands of magic."
"In this situation, the empire is no match for me at all, and the throne can only be handed over to me. At that time, I will use the United Kingdom as a springboard to march to the world."
"It's so smooth."
Edmond sat on the captain's seat and smiled. Although he didn't get carried away, nor was he ecstatic, there was endless ambition in his eyes.
"My stupid and incompetent dad should recognize the reality and obediently get off the throne, right?"
Edmond just said this disdainfully.
"Don't be careless, Your … Your Majesty."
Guretan warned with a serious face.
"Even if the empire's proud mechanical army is no longer useful, this country still has a fleet. With their artillery, once they are launched from outside the range of Absolute Royalty, Your Majesty will be in danger."
That was what Gureitan was worried about.
But …
"As long as it's within Daedalus' range, there will be no danger."
Edmond said so.
That reminded Guretan of something.
"Speaking of which, the attack of that skillful boy seems to have been mostly eliminated when he touched Daedalus."
Guletham recalled the distorted and swaying space around Daedalus and spoke with some enlightenment.
"Is this Daedalus' magic circuit?"
Yes.
That was Daedalus' magic circuit.
"Space Distortion."
It was Edmund who revealed it.
"The magic that can freely distort the surrounding space is the power that Daedalus is proud of."
As long as the surrounding space was distorted, all external interference could not touch Daedalus, and no one could get close to Daedalus. Even if they used Space Distortion, there was no way to break in.
Daedalus would not be attacked from the outside, nor would he be attacked from the inside, so Daedalus would never sink.
That was the reason why Edmond went straight to Daedalus as soon as he entered the city and appeared in Daedalus' square.
"As long as I am here, I am absolutely safe. I just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."
Edmond proudly said such words, which made Guretan completely relieved.
In this way, the city would completely fall into the hands of Daedalus. With the people here as hostages, sooner or later, the throne would be in the bag.
(His Majesty is arrogant, but he can be so thoughtful. Maybe he can really conquer the world.)
Guretan thought so, and at the same time, he made up his mind.
(I will follow him.)
That was Guretan's decision.
"Come on, recognize my qualifications, and recognize me as the king."
Edmond looked at the entire city and laughed arrogantly.
At that moment …
"Huh?"
Gu Leitan's sharp eyes discovered the abnormality. His face froze, and he pointed in a direction.
"Your Majesty, please look over there."
Hearing that, Edmond looked over subconsciously, and then he saw something.
On a clock tower at the top of the city, a three-legged crow descended from the sky, landed on the top of the tower, and turned into a group of people.
"It's him?"
Edmond's eyes lit up. Instead of being shocked, he was delighted and smiled.
