"If only that girl Flan was here …"
Yakumo looked at the artificial satellite in the sky that seemed to have stopped falling. She muttered.
At this moment, he recalled the Star of Bethlehem that was crushed by Fran in the Forbidden World.
Although the satellite was huge, it was nothing compared to the Star of Bethlehem on the right side of the fire.
If Fran wanted to, she could destroy such a satellite at any time.
"Hmm? That's —? "
Hundreds of small black dots suddenly flew out from the satellite that was falling at an almost stagnant speed.
The black dots flew toward Eight-cloud Ink at an extremely fast speed.
Bandersnatch, an autonomous combat robot developed by DEM, could produce magic like humans and use random domains.
"I see …"
From Kotori, Eight-cloud Ink learned that this satellite was equipped with the highest level of DEM explosives.
Now that he saw these Bandersnatch, Eight-cloud Ink understood that the purpose of these things was not only to prevent the satellite from being accidentally destroyed, but also to use random domains to greatly enhance the power of the explosion.
"… In order to destroy the elves, do they plan to destroy Heavenly Palace City?"
"Succubus!"
Countless Succubus screamed and appeared in the sky. They waved their sharp claws at the Bandersnatch.
The sound of the battle between Succubus and Bandersnatch soon sounded in the sky.
The random domains of the Bandersnatch were like paper in front of the sharp claws of the Succubus; they were easily torn apart.
Although the number of Succubus was far less than the number of Bandersnatch, they completely suppressed the Bandersnatch.
Seeing this, Eight-cloud Ink once again looked at the satellite above his head.
The ability to subvert the principle of the existence of things was the ability to go straight to the source.
Although Eight-cloud Ink couldn't do it as easily as Purple, if the target was only a satellite —
With Eight-cloud Ink's gaze, the appearance of the satellite began to blur.
It was like the originally solid ice was about to melt.
But it wasn't the state after a solid turned into a liquid, but the boundary itself seemed to be mosaic.
Then —
It was as if someone was using an eraser to erase pencil marks on a piece of white paper. The mosaic-like boundary disappeared, and the newly exposed part became the boundary again. Under the control of Eight-cloud Ink, the boundary was distorted and blurred again.
Within a few breaths, the huge artificial satellite had completely disappeared from the sky.
"Phew … I'm still not too familiar with this kind of behavior of directly erasing the existence of things."
In the past, Eight-cloud Ink had mostly focused on "changing", "controlling", and "breaking" the ability of realms. This was the first time that Eight-cloud Ink had tried to directly deny the concept of "existence" itself.
Although the final effect was the same — making it disappear — the principle behind it was completely different.
The former only changed the relationship between the object and the surrounding environment, using the environment's rejection of "abnormalities" to achieve the purpose of destruction and elimination. The latter directly negated the basic concept of the object itself — "I exist". Because the existence of the object itself would be inextricably linked to the surrounding environment, the operation of negating the existence of the object itself would inevitably involve the modification of the surrounding environment's attributes.
In short, Eight-cloud Ink's previous use of realms to eliminate something was more similar to finding a way to make the computer (the world, the environment itself) mistake the file (the target) for a virus (the abnormal existence), and then let the computer (the world) start the anti-virus software (the self-repair ability) to delete the file (erase the target).
Although the file was deleted (the target was gone), there would still be records such as deletion logs (traces of existence).
Now, or rather, the previous method of eliminating the artificial satellite directly made the target itself into something that "never existed, never existed, and never would exist".
Not only did the satellite itself disappear, but the series of products produced before it disappeared would also disappear.
If the staff of DEM checked the database, they would find that all the data collected through this satellite had disappeared.
It was as if they had never launched this satellite.
Of course, all of this was the ideal situation.
With the power of Eight-cloud Ink, it was not enough to completely erase all the effects caused by the existence of the object.
In fact, even Purple could not do this.
Just like in the magical forbidden world, Purple could erase the concept of the "Fantasy Village Notebook", but it could only erase it to a certain extent.
If this ability could be fully utilized, then once the concept of the "Fantasy Village Notebook" was denied, everyone in that world would completely lose their memories of the "Notebook".
Obviously, this was impossible. After all, Sis Cannon and the others had gotten a new notebook from god knows where …
"Speaking of which, is it really manly for me to use a notebook as an analogy?"
"Phew, one left."
After getting rid of the first satellite, Eight-cloud Ink set its sights on the second artificial satellite.
This satellite had more Bandersnatch attached to it.
At the same time, the power of the explosion tactic on it was stronger.
But that was the end of it.

"Commander! The magic reaction has disappeared!! "
In Fraxinus, Kotori received the test report from her subordinates.
"That's great!!"
Everyone in the bridge cheered.
"Let me see … Huh? Why did the previous test record disappear? "
"I don't know. It seems that the moment the magic reaction disappeared, all the previous test records of the artificial satellite disappeared as well!"
Kannusuki Kyouhei stroked his chin and muttered.
"It's as if this has never happened. How strange …"
Kotori squinted slightly as she held the Jewel in her mouth.
"Tsk, it's really hard to fathom …"
⑧
"The battle failed?!"
MacDougall roared at the people in front of him.
"How is this possible?!"
At the same time, other than MacDougall, the other directors in the conference room were also ashen-faced.
The battle failed. Will Court didn't die. Then, they would be the next to die.
"No! We can't fail! We still have a last resort! Notify the airship Heptameron above Tiangong City to activate the last Humpty Humpty!! "
"Roger!"
MacDougall prepared a total of three Eggs for this operation.
The first was First Egg, which was used as bait.
The second one was Second Egg, the one who really killed Wescott.
Now that both of them had failed, there was only the third and the last one left – Third Egg.
This one would be launched directly from the airship, sending Wescott to the afterlife.
Although it was not carried on a satellite, it would not fall from the satellite's orbit, and its power was far inferior to the previous two.
But as long as they could kill Will Court, everything else didn't matter.
"Where is Will Court now?!"
"Intelligence shows that he's still in the hotel!"
"What? That guy didn't hide in the fallout shelter? "
Will Court, in the face of such a situation, still stayed in the hotel and didn't choose to take refuge?
Does he look down on us that much?
Incomparably aggrieved feelings welled up in McDowell's heart, causing him to madly issue an order.
"Launch at the hotel! No matter how many people die, no matter how much damage the city gets! "
"Roger!!"
⑧
"Commander! Not good! Another magic reaction has been detected! A Bandersnatch equipped with an explosive spell was launched from the airship that suddenly appeared! The target is the center of Heavenly Palace City! "
"Can we meet the attack?"
"No! We can't attack from our current position! "
"Full speed ahead, must – Hmm?"
On the display screen of the bridge, a figure suddenly appeared.
Blue, who had his hands in his pockets, swung the nine big furry tails behind him from time to time. He stood in the air and looked at the Bandersnatch on the opposite side with a blank expression.
Around his body, several balls of fox fire suddenly appeared.
The fox fire seemed to have a life of its own as it whistled and attacked the flying Bandersnatch.
A violent explosion sounded over Heavenly Palace City.
[ThirdEgg failed.]
⑧
Heavenly Palace City, in the tallest hotel.
"Tsk tsk tsk, MacDougall, is this all you've got …"
Holding a goblet of red wine, Will Court, who stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the sky and muttered to himself.
Just when he received the report that a satellite was about to fall, he guessed that this was MacDougall's plan to get rid of him.
MacDougall was nothing to worry about. Even if he didn't fight back, there were still so many elves and Ratatoskr in Heavenly Palace City.
What's more, there was still that monster.
MacDougall's plan couldn't succeed.
But then, the return of Irene, who was seriously injured and had a broken arm, made Will Court truly realize the seriousness of the matter.
With that monster around, his plan would never come to fruition.
"Why? Why are you on Woodman's side … "
