Overgeared

A disaster created by hundreds of thousands of explosions in total—the viewers witnessed the baptism of rays that were like heavy rain or a typhoon, and predicted the destruction of the allied forces. There were quite a few people who closed their eyes, blocked their ears, or changed the channel because they didn't have the courage to face the devastation that was about to unfold. They took deep breaths for a long time before belatedly opening their eyes. Then they turned the channel back.

"Hup..." They breathed in.

They resented the camera's perspective as it skimmed through the battlefield. Destroyed land, weapons buried in dirt, blood that formed lakes, the pieces of flesh that had lost their owners... The devastation on the battlefield was even more terrible than expected. It seemed to mark the beginning of the apocalypse.

Raim of the general store, Paulson at the blacksmith, the lord who was bad-tempered but always took care of them...

They were sad and afraid that everything they accumulated over the years in Satisfy would disappear. Satisfy in the future would be completely different from the past Satisfy and it didn't seem fun at all. Their colleagues who wanted to go on an adventure to a more famous place and who were motivated to raise their level would gradually leave Satisfy...

"...Uh?" The people who were depressed while thinking about different relationships and reasons...

They were looking at the screen with sad expressions when they belatedly noticed the music flowing from the broadcast. Was there an orchestra on the battlefield?

The moment they thought that this was nonsensical, the screen moved. It slowly and broadly expanded their horizons along with the majestic music. It lightly passed by the devastated battlefield and illuminated unexpected beings. Contrary to expectations, the allied soldiers were still alive. They were all looking up at the sky. They had jubilant expressions on their faces as they cheered with a momentum great enough to swallow up the music.

"......!"

The viewers gradually noticed. Most of the traces decorating the devastation of the battlefield belonged to the demonic creatures. The camera followed the soldiers' gaze and soared upward to show someone's back. The dim light spread around him was the color of sunset. It was the sun that lit up the black sky distorted by demonic energy.

"Cra...zy..."

It was thrilling and delightful. People realized the reason why heroes existed.

'Move slowly.'

The temporarily flustered Grid soon calmed down. He confirmed that Baal's laughter had stopped. He knew that excessive tension could become poison, thus he relaxed his body and mind.

'To what level is he?'

Grid had fought Baal's ego fragment previously, but this wasn't enough to use as a reference. Baal had possessed Agnus at that time, while the current Baal was in Zik's body. It was incomparable. Zik was a concept that was superior to a yangban. He was a real half-god. He was building up worthy achievements and worship to become a god.

'First of all, measure it through speed.'

Grid had lived a busy life over the past few days. He accumulated golden experience through the spar with Biban and witnessing the battle between Zeratul and Hayate. Thanks to this, he grasped his level properly. He could almost certainly reach the speed of sound, but it was difficult starting from supersonic speed.

Even if he maximized his transcendent senses, there were often cases where he was 'unable to respond even if he knew.' While he recognized the attack, he couldn't avoid it. He had to rely entirely on his intuition. If Baal's speed broke through the 'normal' speed of sound like Zeratul, it meant Grid's odds of winning were lower.
