(I'm a shell that found that there are already 200 chapters but there are still 2 parts left that have not been written...... ）

The more important the battle, the more necessary it is to be "willing to sacrifice" from the beginning.

Such sacrifices may sometimes be meaningless, and they will not have much impact on the situation of the war, but at least in this regard, they have an unparalleled effect on mobilizing the feelings of the same enemy, so that in every great war, "countless heroic deeds will emerge that can be sung and cried."

Can you sing and cry...... Perhaps, it is the people who are being praised for the victory that are alive, but it is the relatives and companions of the dead "heroes" who are crying, right?

But...... Even if you know it's so?

"Even if it's me...... There's no way around it, right? ”

The combat girls around me are all looking at me with inquiring eyes, waiting for my decision, and I know that as long as I have the intention of "rushing into the ground to rescue the two girls who belong to me", then these combat girls will not have any objections.

But...... If you do that, the end result will only be total annihilation, right?

"Really...... Do you want to give up? ”

From the beginning of this battle to the present, it is the first time that Zhixian's voice has been so cautious.

Ah, such a decision is completely irreversible after it is made, and the result is obvious.

The two girls who were scheduled to be combat power will die irretrievably because of this, and even if they complete this battle, they will not be able to resurrect, because, the current Caifeng Hui and Edgeworth Styx have not officially become my combat power.

Moreover, although such a decision can be understood by the girls, it is ...... After all, I gave up on the girl I liked, right? Therefore, the favorability of the girls will definitely decline greatly because of this, and it may even ...... There will be even more disturbing consequences.

"Ah, give up, with the strength of everyone...... It's impossible to do that. ”

Still, I made my own decision.

If you can't achieve a goal that you set from the beginning, it's a meaningless move, and no amount of sacrifice can be achieved, so it's better to give up from the beginning.

"How...... How can it be ......"

The Void, who had left the body and was on the ground, looked at me in disbelief.

"I can't help it, this kind of thing ......"

Completely cut off communication with the headquarters, I similarly expelled another girl, the well-behaved maid C.C., from the driving armor while checking my academic status.

Although the previous railgun locator was used by Xia Lu, however, the girl herself is not my combat power, so the deduction of academic power still has to be calculated from my head, in addition to this part of the academic power consumption, the drive armor itself also consumes part of the academic power, so, there is about half of the remaining academic power.

"It should ...... Enough is enough, right? Words at the critical moment......"

I still have a handful of props that can come in handy, and with a special S**E opportunity, I won't be stingy with this kind of thing that turns things around at a critical moment.

“…… So, now let's go back to the command room and wait quietly for the battle to end. ”

I climbed back into the drive armor and closed the cockpit without hesitation.

"Makoto-kun?"

Most of the girls who were discouraged by my previous declaration didn't realize the meaning of my words, and the only ones who reacted in time were the Zhixian who followed me through the most battles, and the Angel Girl who relied on me the most.

『…… Let's go together.'"

"No, if you take it with you, it will become more troublesome."

The engine that drove the armor restarted, and I glanced at Xia Lu, who was unconscious on the ground, through the light screen, and moved my two metal arms slightly, crunching my fists.

"If you play, you'll be responsible for helping me take care of everyone, so that everyone can go back to a safe place, and just wait for this damn Sakura battle to end."

The cherry blossom tree, which I thought was a "lucky omen", could no longer support itself in the ground, and the trunk was completely broken, and even the petals of the tree turned into a mess of dust on the ground and scattered rotten flesh.

Such an outcome seems to have been foreordained from the beginning? Like cherry blossoms, they bloom beautifully, but when they are caught in a storm, they are ruthlessly destroyed and withered.

Ah, that's right, that's already a hope that everyone has given up, right? Regardless of whether the battle is won or lost, the girls who have withered like cherry blossoms will never appear in front of me again.

So...... Now, let's go and see if there's a chance to meet these lovely girls for the last time, it should be no problem, right?

"Buzz ......"

The size of the driving armor is like a speck of falling dust compared to the huge pit that is so huge that monsters like Wu Yulei and EVA seem insignificant, but in this case, it seems that my safety is easier to ensure? After all, in an environment like underground, it shouldn't be so easy for the BETA to notice.

That's right, that's what I decided, with the power of one person, to go deep into the ground, to ...... as much as possible Try to do something before things become irreparable.

The idea of saving people has been a pipe dream from the beginning, and the only thing I hope is that I can save the battle by concluding a formal battle contract with the girls before they choose to use the S-11 mechanism attached to the airframe itself to blow themselves up.

And, actually, I have a reason to go underground, right? After all, there is only one last target left for the mission of the crash of the four-school airframe, and ...... The task over there gave me the best excuse.

If it was based on my own judgment, then such a choice would have been absolutely wrong from the beginning, so I could only comfort my conflicted heart by "trying to complete the task as much as possible".

The combat girls couldn't help me at all in that environment, so choosing to leave all the girls on the ground and wait for the results was undoubtedly the best decision, as for the girls' previous doubts......

"This kind of behavior as if he is a lone hero, should be able to greatly increase his favorability, right?"

While comforting himself, he carefully controlled the airframe, and walked in the direction of the incomparably wide underground passage, with traces of battle, the darkness of the underground was naturally beyond imagination, but I was not too worried about this with the armament eyepieces, the only thing I needed to worry about was ......

"The environment of the place...... It's weird. ”

I don't know why, it's obviously underground, and there are a lot more rotten flesh tissues distributed than above the ground, and the deeper you go into this underground nest, the higher the density of rotten flesh and internal organs, and in the end, even the entire cave wall is completely occupied by the whole piece of tissue, as if it is a dense breeding organism.

It was impossible for me not to notice this anomaly, but now I didn't have time to scout carefully, and the power system that drove the armor was opened to the limit, and even the P.T.S.D. title sprint skill was activated again by me to get to the scene as quickly as possible.

"Hmm...... It's ......."

The high-speed sprinting body suddenly hovered in mid-air, and after invading a considerable distance into the ground at this unimpeded high speed, I finally got close to the core of the battlefield.

It was already the deepest part of the ground, but the environment unexpectedly began to turn from dark to dim, and gradually turned into a glimmer of light that could barely be seen by the naked eye.

On the ground in this part of the cavern, there are scattered and scattered in a line forward, densely distributed with BETA's stump limbs, as well as some tissues that are completely different from BETA.

That's it...... I've only seen it a few times, and I can't tell what it is, and I'm completely impregnated with BETA's acid and blood, but at least...... The shape of the part is not completely destroyed.

That one...... It is the scattered wreckage of Wu Yulei.

The closest to me seemed to be some part of the outer armor of the body, and further on, there were more broken armor and even discarded, depleted weapons.

After cautiously continuing to fly thousands of meters, beside a turning mountain wall, all the weapons and ammunition were exhausted, and the huge wreckage of the Martial Thunder finally appeared in front of my eyes-

The entire body was almost completely devoured and dismembered by BETA, the upper body of the body was corroded to the point of being riddled with holes, and the position of the cockpit was directly invaded, and under the light of the faint light, it was hollow and open in the air.

This one...... It should be Mikoto's body, right?

Subconsciously I didn't want to get closer to the miserable body, so as not to see something that I couldn't face because I got closer, the only thing I could do was to pass through the path guarded by Mikoto in Armor, and continue to move forward, to the core of the brood.

I didn't go much deeper than the wreckage of the first Takego Thunder, and when the "door" that existed as the last level of the brood seemed to be a huge diaphragm, and the "door" that split the cave passage with disgusting rotten flesh tissue like an intestine in half appeared in front of me, the final battlefield of Sakaki Chizuru also appeared in front of me.

A large area of beta stumps with a diameter of more than 100 meters that was radially distributed around the wreckage of Wu Yulei was what Sakaki Chizuru was able to do in the end, and perhaps it was because of this that I was able to get here safely without encountering any BETA. V
