Noble Writer floated above the war with an arrogant and lofty expression on his face. He didn''t even bother to look at the enemies who were fighting for their life, liberty and freedom as if they were ants that he could crush by casually stepping down with his foot.
In truth, the fellow was not usually like this. Noble Writer was humble, hardworking and full of intelligence, your typical nerdy fellow who was destined for high merit work in life.
However after receiving Eva''s bloodline, his arrogance had be awe inspiring. His current ss didn''t help with his ego either, and it was all thanks to Amaterasu''s shitty habits that the poor fellow had been ruined like this.
He looked down at the Yuto Theocracy''s troops and his expression became cold.
"After careful consideration using my fair and objective judgment, I have found the Yuto Theocracy guilty of several unforgivable crimes, the premier of them being existing innd that belongs to the Vita Kingdom, the second being that they dare to hold resentment and hostility towards Vita Kingdom and the third being that they actually dare to fight back when ughtered!"
Noble Writer''s words made many of the generals in the army have a change of expression, and they were furious. How was this Vita Kingdom''snd, they were clearly invadersing to ughter them without even trying to negotiate first!
However, the entire army felt a wave of blood churn up their throats as thews of the world backed Noble Writer''s callous deration and made his words truth. So they were not the aggressors ording to the truth of the world.
Understanding this, each of their eyes became red with sorrow and resentment. They were just trying to protect their homes and their family, but now they had been abandoned by the world itself.
Those who relied on Worldly Energy to fight lost that ability to control it and those who as manipted worldly forces felt their connection be cut off.
Even the core members here couldn''t help but given the lofty Noble Writer another look. What a frightening ss ability!
Next was Happy Saint, the Machine King.

Happy Saint didn''t bother to go all out in this battle, opting to take on the Warrior Machine King form and transform into a virtual T-1000.
His arms had turned into long silver des that could slice through anything in his way, and the metal from the solders swords and armor melted and followed Happy Saint, turning into stock for him.
His killing rate was not the highest, but he was definitely cutting his own swathe into the battle. He didn''t even have to bother with defense as any strike, shot or st would just deflect off his body or leave him unscathed.
He shook his head and focused slowly on dealing with his foes. As a long time member of Umbra, despite being a rtively genial mature man, he was used to ughter and brutality, so much so that he even believed in it.
When it was time to craft, he was like a careful and inspired mentor, but when it was time to fight, he was a cruel overlord.
Finally, thest person was Money Lover, who was actually rxed in the back of the group.
