At that moment, the rumbling stopped for a bit but then quickly resumed. But this time, the severed lands were moving back together.As Felicia was watching this, an incredibly stupid story was taking place in her mind.

Land 1: I hate you! How dare you do something like that!
Land 2: No, honey! It was just a misunderstanding!
Land 1: I won"t believe anything you say! I"m leaving!
Land 2: Wait!
Land 2 grabbed Land 1"s wrist and pulled her into her embrace.
Land 2: ...Don"t leave...

Felicia quickly shook her head to get rid of her ridiculous thoughts. The image of two hills with old-fashioned anime-style faces with intense blush was something she wanted to forget entirely. Her body shivered just by thinking about it.
Meanwhile, Rigor was having a similar event.
.
.
.
The sky was dark and filled with grey clouds. Lightning rode across the sky accompanied by the thunder"s loud roars.
It was a landscape with the earth cleaved into two and ash blanketed all the plant life present. Dead bodies were scattered everywhere and some had fallen into the giant crevice, never to be seen again. But amidst the desolate wasteland stood a lone figure.
His silver hair still shone even with the gloomy lighting. His handsome face was blank and soulless. As if he had lost everything despite winning the battle.
In his arms was not the sword bestowed by the heavens nor the hand of a beautiful princess, it was a corpse. A corpse charred black that you could no longer even identify the person"s gender anymore. It was dirty and would stain the man"s glistening armour, but he still held onto it.
After a long while, the only thing the man could utter out was...
"I"m sorry..."

Rigor wiped his tears away with the handkerchief provided by his wonderful aide.
Clyde looked at the Demon Lord who had started crying all of a sudden. He had recognized him as the Demon Lord of Coffins. He was one of the ones that Lucille had a good impression of. It was the reason why he was appointed as the person-in-charge this era for the annual human invasion.
There was only one small problem with him. Clyde removed his gaze from the crying Demon Lord and stood up.
"Now, I guess it"s time for me?"
Clyde walked up to Cole and tapped him on the back.
"Sir Cole, here"s the laptop you requested. It had already been embedded with a Communication Crystal and it was made with parts from the〈Avant Zone〉so you can rest a.s.sured for its quality. And the Communication Crystal can communicate to both the〈Huaxia Zone〉and〈Fantasia Zone〉"
Clyde handed Cole the box he was carrying. It wasn"t that thick and it was also very lightweight. As expected of the Zone where the future is their now.
"Here"s also the internet modem which should allow you to connect to both the〈Times Zone〉and〈Avant Zone〉"
It turns out Clyde was also holding a much smaller box with him. Cole accepted it as well since there wouldn"t be any point to having a PC without internet. But it"s not like Cole couldn"t live without it.
"And lastly, here"s your uniform."
"Uniform?"
Cole tilted his head. He didn"t expect he would have to wear something like a uniform for Black Hollow. He was also surprised that among all the things Lucille had to do,
Clyde pa.s.sed him a third box. When he opened it, he could see a black blazer, black shirt, and black vest neatly folded together so that all of them would be visible.
Cole wondered if so much black was necessary. But at least their shades were somewhat different.

He originally thought of them to simply be high-quality clothes but a second later, he noticed that they were made out of graphene. And it was made so no accidental electricity could harm the wearer. Well, not like that really mattered to Cole.
It turned out that Mechanica"s were immune to electricity. Cole learned that it was since it wasn"t skin that was the topmost layer of their bodies, it wouldn"t be able to make its way to the organ systems. Thus, it wouldn"t make it burn.
Cole wasn"t exactly sure what the material itself was. It acted like skin so he thought that it may be something like rubber but he quickly threw away the thought.
"No magical enchantments were made due to your Physique but I a.s.sure you that they"ll fit swimmingly. The pockets also have storage magic sewn onto them so you should be able to use them without worry."
While he was helping Lucille with her doc.u.ments. He was able to get her a.s.sistance in performing a few tests with his Physique.
Anything offensive or supportive would shatter when it hit Cole. But Miscellaneous magic was totally fine.
Cole would try on the suit later since he still had a new guest to entertain. He gave the boxes to Libra and had them go join the audience.
"Now, how about Miss Arie-- I mean Miss Rory and Lady Mira? Or are you here just to take Alfred away?"
"Pretty much. And Lucy said that you needed to do something? What is it?"
Yes, that was the only reason Rory came there. But she also wanted to know what Cole had to do at〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉. Since she was there, she might as well ask.
"I just have to do something long overdue."
"And what would that be?"
It was Clyde who had asked the question. It seemed that it involved his beloved Queen so he was naturally curious.
"I"ll just be changing my last name. It"d be no good to continue wearing a dead man"s name. Much less two of them."
"Is that so, would you like me to prepare the necessary paperwork?"
"No, it"s fine, I"ll go to〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉myself."
"Zhujiao."
"! Yes, Master!"
Zhujiao who was brought back to the amazing world of Poker hurriedly stood up with his back as straight as possible.
Cole thought about what should he make his new disciple do. To be honest, he was already half-thinking of sending him to spend a night in the forest without his aid and another half was thinking of sending him back to the〈Huaxia Zone〉
"Stand there until I come back. You must move not a single inch."
"Libra, make sure to watch him. If you"re the cause for his movement, I"ll give you back to〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉"
"Yes, Master!"
Cole gave disapproving eyes towards Libra. He didn"t want to be called "Master" by two people. He decided that this would improve Zhujiao"s patience and endurance. Maybe.
Cole then turned his attention to the remaining fantasy residents who were also brought back to the world of poker by the twins.
"Rigor, Sekuren, there"s a certain hero and his comrades down in the lab. You"ve probably met them already. You can pester him about being a hero while I"m gone. Ignore the other dude there."
"Wait, really?! I mean-- Ahem, I"m sure I"ll be able to extract some useful information from him for the Demon Realm"s invasion!"
Rigor tried to keep up the appearance of a menacing Demon Lord. (not that he had one int he first place) But Cole knew that the demon loved anything hero-related. He still remembered how his eyes shone when he was clarifying the fact that he wasn"t the previous Cole.
He was surprised by how easily he believed it as well.
Cole beckoned over Felicia and had her bring Eva along. Since he was changing his last name, he needed to change Eva"s too.
