if Jibril's previous submission was motivated by her desire for the power of other worlds and their prior agreement, then seeing Su Mo casually manifest God's Strike had made her truly and sincerely want to surrender.
If Azriel were here, she would surely be shocked. Getting the proud and arrogant Jibril to willingly submit was a feat no less difficult than challenging the War God himself.
Su Mo, however, wasn't too surprised by Jibril's sudden change.
"Pledging allegiance… does that mean that if, one day, I were to make a move against the Master God who created you, you would still follow me?"
"Make a move… against Lord Artosh?!" Hearing Su Mo's words, the small Flügel's eyes widened in astonishment. She asked in disbelief, "Are you saying you want me, your retainer, to act as a guide to kill the Master God who created me?"
As she spoke, her small body trembled slightly, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists. Her head drooped, hiding her expression in the shadows.
"Th-This… this…" she stammered, at a loss for words.
Rin Tohsaka: Isn't this a bit too hard on her?
Rin Tohsaka: I know she was obnoxious when she was being arrogant, but she looks a little pitiful now.
Kanae Kocho: I don't really understand, but for a created being, isn't a god like a parent?
Kanae Kocho: Although this is a basic requirement of loyalty, it still feels very difficult!
Jibril's childlike form easily evoked sympathy. The members of the chat group still remembered her arrogant demeanor, so they didn't think Su Mo's question was out of line, but they still felt a bit sorry for her.
The two knights at the side, Lancelot and Artoria, also showed a hint of pity, but they didn't speak up to dissuade him.
Jibril's dilemma was a matter of her loyalty; supporting Su Mo's every decision was a matter of theirs.
No matter what, she was a formidable enemy, and there was no reason to sympathize with an enemy over such a small matter.
The one who could empathize most with Jibril was probably Guinevere. In a way, she too was a spoil of war, casually collected by Su Mo.
Just as Guinevere was about to speak and comfort her…
Jibril, who had been stammering from agitation, suddenly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling like stars as she revealed her true inner thoughts to Su Mo.
"This is too wonderful!"
Rin Tohsaka: ?
Kanae Kocho: ?
Madoka Kaname: ?
"Huh?" Guinevere was dumbfounded.
Lancelot and Artoria were also dumbfounded.
They had all thought Jibril was speechless because she was caught in a dilemma between loyalty to her creator and her new master. They had even felt some sympathy for the Flügel. But now, looking at her, she didn't seem sad at all. In fact, she seemed… strangely excited?
That was right. Jibril was indeed very excited.
Her eyes shining, she hugged Su Mo's leg and exclaimed, "Not only are you willing to accept my loyalty and let me follow you, but I also get to join you in making a move against Lord Artosh and grant him the defeat he desires most… The two greatest happinesses in the world, intertwined! Am I dreaming?!"
"…"
Everyone fell silent.
Thinking back on this Flügel's previous arrogance and her current nonsensical ramblings, they couldn't help but have a thought.
Could it be that this Flügel was insane?
"As long as you accept it," Su Mo replied.
He wasn't particularly surprised by Jibril's attitude. The War God Artosh had created the Flügel for the very purpose of knowing what it meant to be the strongest. In human terms, he had been invincible for so long that he wanted to die.
Jibril was likely the first among the Flügel to realize this and the only one who could accept it. Therefore, slaying Artosh was not a burden for her; rather, it was the reason for her existence, a responsibility she had to shoulder.
Su Mo's proposal was perfectly aligned with Jibril's own desires.
After confirming her loyalty, Su Mo rescinded the command to sit on the ground and lifted Jibril up.
Like an obedient little chick, Jibril stood before Su Mo, her gaze fixed on him with an exceptionally fervent and longing expression.
"Since you are willing to accept my allegiance, would my Lord be willing to grant me one tiny little wish? Just a tiny one!"
"What wish?" Su Mo was slightly curious.
"I'm very interested in your body's structure, Master, so could you let me touch it just a little? And you can do whatever you want to me in return, *guhehehe~*"
While spouting such scandalous lines, Jibril fervently leaned closer to Su Mo, a string of drool almost dripping from the corner of her mouth. She seemed genuinely interested in Su Mo's body.
Rin Tohsaka: I-Is this something I should be watching?
Kanae Kocho: No matter how you look at it, isn't she a little too young in this form?
Madoka Kaname: My impression of her has been completely overturned!
Watching this Flügel go from extremely arrogant, to completely submissive, to utterly perverted, the members of the chat group were at a loss. Didn't this newcomer have a few too many character traits?
"…"
Even Su Mo was a bit speechless. He had expected something like this, but how was this Flügel even clingier than Pandora?
However, speaking of understanding bodies, he was indeed a little interested in the structure of a Flügel.
Therefore…
"Let's go back first."
The group quickly disappeared, leaving behind a scarred lunar landscape.
---||---
On Earth, the two consecutive celestial anomalies had sparked massive global attention.
Perhaps for Su Mo, such matters were not worth considering, but for the magical associations around the world, covering it up was incredibly difficult.
Especially when the moon was now missing a chunk—a change so obvious even a three-year-old could see it. It couldn't just be ignored.
So, the magical associations quickly unified their story, announcing that an asteroid had collided with the moon, shattering a piece of it.
As for the strange flashes of light before, those details were left for the experts to fabricate on the spot.
After barely managing to fool the public, the magical associations soon realized another problem.
They didn't know where the anomaly on the moon had come from either.
In the past, any unexplainable large-scale disaster was either the work of a Heretic God or a Godslayer. But now, the incident had occurred on the moon. Even if a Godslayer had the ability to travel to the moon, did they have the power to shatter it?
Just as everyone was racking their brains, a message came from the Southern European magical association, the Copper Black Cross.
It stated that the small disturbance on the moon was an anomaly caused by the new King experimenting with his Authorities, and there was no need for alarm.
Hearing this answer, the magical associations worldwide were stunned.
Only after repeated confirmations, with Princess Alice herself corroborating the story, did they realize the Copper Black Cross wasn't joking.
No one would dare to joke about the might of a Godslayer.
And although most still found it hard to believe a Godslayer could do such a thing—and even if they could, it shouldn't be the new King—when they thought about Marquis Voban and the Sword King Doni, who were now prisoners of this new King, they had no choice but to believe it.
And so, the title of the Moon-Shattering Demon King began to circulate throughout the global magical community.
The new King, Su Mo, who could destroy celestial bodies at will, had successfully surpassed all other Godslayers on every magical association's do-not-provoke list, reaching the number one spot.
After all, other Godslayers could at most destroy a nation. The Moon-Shattering Demon King was a world-ending existence. They were not on the same dimensional level.
Naturally, such a feat could not possibly affect only the mages.
The Godslayers who once stood at the pinnacle of the world were also greatly impacted.
For example, the Black Prince Alec.
And for another example, the Cult Leader Luo Hao.
