The cascading airships, like dark stars obscuring the sky, exuded a sense of oppression surpassing even the oppressive feeling of a cloud-covered sky.
Those terrifying ship hulls, forged from cold steel, were filled with countless heavy cannons that gleamed with natural magic, exuding an endless sense of danger.
Amidst the dull rumble of machinery, the entire capital seemed instantly enveloped by a terrifying shadow of threat.
Under the oppressive shadows, the residents of the central square stared wide-eyed, a strong sense of terror rising within them.
They trembled as they stared in disbelief at the sky obscured by darkness.
"What is that...?"
"The technology products of the Leiser family, it seems to be some kind of airship... I saw them in Tiebo in the south once..."
"No... I meant those gun emplacements up there, what are those?!"
Countless nobles felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, staring in shock at the gleaming cannons that covered the top of the ship.
All the nobles wore expressions of confusion and fear.
If even the nobles were like this, the ordinary people were even more stunned and speechless.
At that moment, an absurd thought arose in their minds:
Do we really live in the same world?
An airship that can fly in the sky?
They had never seen anything like it before, let alone the pitch-black turret mounted on it!
Their understanding was still limited to a world of horse-drawn carriages, magical trains, and ships sailing on the sea.
They simply couldn't comprehend how these steel airships floated in front of them.
And what exactly are those terrifying heavy cannons that shimmer with magic?
At the same time, the eldest prince also looked up at the sky.
Those clear pupils trembled involuntarily.
He understood the technological power of the Raiser family better than anyone else.
That's right.
The Raiser family refers to themselves as "technology."
This includes 'humanoid weapons' like Saphiros, which were also created by the Raiser family.
Of course, the creation of Saphiros was also closely related to the First Prince.
Because he needed a weapon that could protect all of humanity in the empire.
Thus, the Raiser family created 'Saphiros'.
According to his understanding, this is the case now.
These are all high-tech weapons that the Raiser family has been researching in private.
He never expected that these weapons would be summoned by Hermes and appear in the sky above the capital!
Albany knew the power of these weapons better than anyone else.
The Southern Front was able to sustain its advance not only because of the large number of adventurers in the Adventurer's City.
This was largely due to the powerful weapons provided by the Raiser family.
Because they need the monsters that emerge from the monster rifts to test the power of their weapons.
And updates and adjustments were made through repeated debugging.
The eldest prince knew all this, because the Leather family had never hidden anything from him.
They told him that these weapons were created entirely for the safety of humanity.
So Albany believed it.
He firmly believed that the Raiser family would use these weapons to drive away all the monsters that were harming humanity.
But at this very moment...
The moment he looked up at the countless cannons in the sky, aimed directly at them, humanity.
Albany realized—
These weapons are not just for fighting monsters.
They would be many times more effective against humans.
In that instant, the eldest prince looked at the airship that loomed over the entire sky.
His legs began to tremble, and his eyes were filled with panic.
Why does the Raiser family possess such advanced 'technology' and create such powerful weapons?
Because this was brought by the gods...
"The power of God..."
The gods, high above us, have never cared about the safety of humankind.
The eldest prince was well aware of just how powerful these airships were.
He desperately wanted to break through the crowd and report all this to his father, the emperor.
But at this moment, fear had spread throughout his body, freezing his feet in place and rendering him unable to move.
Just as he turned his head helplessly to look at the throne on the highest step.
But he saw his father, the emperor, still sitting there leisurely, looking indifferent.
It's like...
They completely disregarded the airship in the sky.
Because Aubrey only slightly raised his eyelids.
He calmly watched the airships in the sky gradually enveloping the entire capital.
Suddenly, he chuckled softly.
A voice, aged yet full of confidence, slowly rang out:
"Is this your source of confidence, Riboot?"
At this moment, Hermes stood on the earth, watching with satisfaction as the fleet of airships gradually covered the entire sky.
His lips curled up in a smile, as if victory was already in his grasp.
But when Aubrey's voice reached his ears, Hermes' expression suddenly froze.
With a sense of doubt, he turned his gaze back to Aubrey, who was still sitting on the throne.
Upon hearing Aubrey's words, he suddenly realized what was happening.
Throughout the entire process, Aubrey never seemed to call his god by name.
Even though he hadn't hidden his identity, Aubrey still called him by his abandoned name.
It's like...
Aubrey still viewed him as a subject she could manipulate at will.
Hermes raised his head, his gaze piercing through the clouds as he stared at the steel fleet he had summoned with his own hands.
