章 94: Magna Angemon
Here, Soren's wings could barely move freely anymore.
With each flap, he could hear the delicate structure of his feathers slowly cracking, but he gritted his teeth and continued inching his way upward.
Feathers were pulled down by the relentless gravity, but he didn't seem to notice.
His gaze was fixed on the mechanical arm at the center of the World Engine.
...If he could destroy the core of the World Engine, he could stop its operation.
It felt like millions of tons of weight were pressing down on him, and his ascent slowed to a crawl, like a fragile butterfly struggling in a rain of iron, barely managing to stay aloft in the overwhelming forces of the sky.
Finally, Soren reached the center of the World Engine.
A torrent of gravitational energy washed over him like a waterfall, and in an instant, the planet-sized force slammed him to the ground, throwing him into the cracks of the earth.
The pain was unbearable.
He couldn't fight back under this immense pressure; the power crushed him completely.
The World Engine's force tore his skin apart, and every bone in his body shattered under the weight of the gravity.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH—!!!!!!"
Soren let out a blood-curdling scream, his eyes streaming with tears of blood.
At the very moment when every bone in his body was turning to dust, a blinding light, brighter than the World Engine's gravitational wave, erupted from him and shot straight toward the heavens!
The radiant light poured down like a waterfall.
The power of creation descended upon him, guiding his evolution—
Osteoblasts began to regenerate bone membranes.
His shattered bones gradually healed from the inside out under the glow of evolution.
Then came the skeletal muscles.
Red and white muscle fibers reconnected, and like steel cables, the fibers formed muscle bundles.
These muscles stretched and covered, enveloping the newly formed bones.
Between his spine and shoulder blades, a pair of newly born silver wings burst through layers of flesh, sprouting from his back!
A crest of hope bearing a sunburst symbol formed on his forehead.
Beneath a purple helm covering his face, runes inscribed with divine characters twined around his body, while a shield of light formed on his left arm, and in his right hand, a holy sword Excalibur materialized from a stream of digital data, its blade gleaming with a sharp, icy light.
The Magna Angemon, with eight radiant silver wings spread wide, was born amid the gravitational shockwave that was strong enough to reshape planets.
Soren opened his eyes.
Amidst the waterfall of light, he soared towards the core of the World Engine, flying into the brilliant glow.
At the top of the World Engine's central mechanical arm was a constantly rotating circular energy device, with twelve □□□ embedded in the ring, running at full power to provide the energy needed to increase the gravity on Earth.
As he approached the core, sensing an external threat, the World Engine activated its defense mechanisms.
Two massive steel tentacles suddenly extended from the top, lashing out at him like violent iron dragons, intending to crush him within the world-shattering shockwave!
Soren fiercely flapped his silver wings, dodging the brutal strike of the tentacles.
In the next moment, he gripped the Excalibur with both hands, letting out a loud roar as he swung the sword downward!
The blade of the sword flared with intense light, severing the front halves of the two steel dragons in one swift stroke, disabling the World Engine's self-defense.
The World Engine buzzed and trembled, the mechanical arm retracted from the Earth's crust, only to forcefully drive itself back down again, pushing deeper into the planet's core with renewed energy.
Soren raised his sword in front, lowering his forehead, and looked upward with a focused gaze.
On the gleaming sword blade, a proud reflection was cast.
After a brief pause, the Magna Angemon swiftly traversed between the four massive pillars of the World Engine.
His overwhelming sword intent swept through from all directions like slicing wind blades, severing the four pillars with a single sweep!
The four pillars broke simultaneously, collapsing outward, and the unsupported World Engine roared as it disintegrated.
Soren lifted the Excalibur high, thrusting it into the center of the mechanical arm and then accelerating downward with the gravitational shockwave.
The Excalibur cut through the mechanical arm like it was made of clay, slicing through it layer by layer.
The mechanical arm creaked as if lamenting, but could not withstand the destructive force of the Excalibur!
The entire World Engine began to dismantle and fall toward the ground.
Soren leaped downward, looking up as the World Engine grew larger in his field of vision.
He raised the Excalibur, centered himself, and with the sword tip piercing the void, he drew open the Heaven's Gate—
The entire space oscillated and twisted, slowly opening a massive black abyssal maw as the Excalibur spun.
The Heaven's Gate opened a gateway to subspace, the strongest seal of the Magna Angemon that was capable of banishing anything in the universe to behind the Heaven's Gate.
The terrifying gravitational shockwave exhausted the last bit of energy, and the World Engine plummeted vertically into the Heaven's Gate.
Soren flew to the edge of the Gate, watching intently as the World Engine passed through the Heaven's Gate and entered subspace.
Once the final part of the engine vanished into the boundless darkness of subspace, he sheathed his sword and sealed the Gate.
At that moment, the gravitational field on the Earth's surface that has been modified by the combined operation of the eight World Engines, lost balance, and the reconstructing Kryptonian gravity system began to destabilize.
The four World Engines hovering over Johannesburg, Tokyo, Melbourne, and São Paulo paused for a moment.
In that second of the World Engines' pause, global gravity was restored.
—At the top of the Empire State Building in Manhattan, with the Red Sun Grenade Launcher mounted on his shoulder and aimed at the dark knight, the trigger was pulled during that brief second at the struggling Kryptonians.
