I, the “Clock User”, Was Kicked Out of the Craftsmen’s Guild for Being Incompetent, but at the Dungeon’s Depths, I Awakened My True Power – Even Though I Was Told to Return Because They Couldn’t Handle the Work, It’s Too Late Now, and I Will Live Freely as an SSS-class Adventurer V11C7

### Volume 11: The Eastern Frontier
 **07: The Descent of the False God**

While the four continued to stall— Cyclo was in a distant wilderness, alone, working on generating his trump card.

With his eyes closed and concentrated, he held his hands over a massive magical circle that spanned dozens of meters, continuously activating 'Clock Creation'.

He meticulously gathered the magic power necessary to create each part from the heart to the extremities, following the design memorized in his mind.

When the magic power was sufficient to generate all parts according to the design, his trump card was finally about to descend.

(That huge breath attack... it's not something that can be blocked repeatedly.)

Even as he progressed with the creation, Cyclo couldn't help but think. The breath attack that reached into the sky with a booming sound was visible even from where Cyclo was.

While he felt proud of his companions for blocking such a powerful attack, he immediately understood that if it were repeated, it would be undeniably dangerous.

He had to complete it as quickly as possible.

Such impatience welled up within Cyclo.

However, there was no point in creating it if he made even a single mistake. Given its size and power, a minor error could lead to a significant mishap.

Naturally... it would make defeating Behemoth impossible.

(Accurately, yet quickly—)

He continued to gather magic power, one part at a time, finishing the creation of his trump card.

Thanks to his companions buying time— the trump card was nearly complete.

After the creation was finished, all he had to do was 'mount' it and rush to the battlefield.

"---It's done!!"

The moment had arrived.

"Manifest, the false god of magic and science—'Deus Ex Magientica'!!"

From the magical circle, light began to rise.

The lines of light from the magical circle outlined something gigantic, like a giant.

Each part outlined by the light was generated sequentially—until finally, a mechanical giant was born.

Standing at thirty-six meters tall, its entire body was encased in armor made from an alloy of rare magical metals, a colossal golem.

However, this golem did not operate autonomously.

"AOC, activate!!"

Cyclo donned the enhanced exoskeleton magical armor, AOC (Aegis of Clockworks).

"I'm coming, everyone!!"

Then, he leaped towards the large magic stone shining on the chest of the giant standing in the wilderness.

Cyclo's form seemed to melt into the magic stone.

Simultaneously, as if the giant had been given a soul, the parts that seemed to be its eyes began to emit light.

Thus, Cyclo's trump card finally descended. A multi-purpose exoskeleton expansion type humanoid strategic mobile weapon, named 'Deus Ex Magientica'.

The one who noticed this light first was Mist, who was focusing on support magic from the back, keeping an eye on the overall situation.

"---That light is...?"

Recognizing the light rising from the distant wilderness, Mist realized.

"Master made it in time...!"

The other three gathered around where Mist was standing. They had just noticed the light as well, all looking in the same direction.

"No doubt about it. That's big brother's trump card—"

As Alice began to speak—the light birthed a giant.

"A fusion of magic and science. An evolution and enlargement of the enhanced exoskeleton magical armor into a multi-purpose exoskeleton expansion type humanoid strategic mobile weapon. A collaboration between me and big brother! Its name is—Deus Ex Magientica!!"

As Alice announced this, the giant, DEM, began to move.

Six thrusters on its back emitted a vast amount of magical light.

At the same time, DEM—despite its massive body, floated up into the air with surprising naturalness!

Then, it flew towards Behemoth.

Its speed was overwhelming, the passing wind pressure almost blowing away all four.

DEM came to a halt right in front of Behemoth, landing.

"---Everyone, sorry for making you wait!!"

Cyclo's voice spread around DEM through amplification magic.

"Big brother!! You completed it!"

"Yeah. Thanks to you all buying time. From here on—I'll take down this thing!!"

From inside the magic stone, Cyclo perceived the surroundings of DEM through a strange, floating sensation in an alternate space.

He could recognize a vast area with a level of detail and precision far beyond his usual capabilities, in various ways.

Connected through DEM and AOC, Cyclo now understood not only his small companions at his feet but also the movements of the distant Demon King's army and the kingdom's forces as if they were within his grasp.

And Cyclo prepared to defeat Behemoth.

As Cyclo readied himself in the space inside the magic stone, DEM mirrored his actions in real-time.

By observing the reactions when AOC enhanced Cyclo's physical abilities with magic, the machine received signals of muscle, nerve, and bone movements. This allowed DEM to operate by completely tracing human movements.

Thanks to this intuitive operation made possible by inserting body enhancement magic, Cyclo could develop and scale up the strategic weapon DEM from AOC.

The precision of movement was high, making DEM move as if it were alive, though ponderously due to the load on Cyclo's movements, which were now signals for DEM's actions. Without AOC's enhancement, such movements would be nearly impossible, resulting in slower, more deliberate actions than usual.

Seeing this, Behemoth instinctively realized that this giant structure was not just a large golem but possessed high combat capabilities, increasing its caution.

"First, let's move this battle to a place where we can fight freely, Behemoth!!"

Simultaneously with his words, Cyclo activated the six thrusters on DEM's back.

The light of magic power spreading in six directions made it look as if DEM was carrying stars.

Immediately after, DEM accelerated rapidly.

It grappled Behemoth from the front, pushing it far into the distant wilderness.

There, DEM and Behemoth could fight without involving the kingdom's army, the Demon King's army, or the four who had bought time.

'Gmooooooo!?'

Perhaps not expecting to be pushed back, Behemoth resisted while letting out a surprised roar, yet it was forced back by DEM.

"Beasts belong on the ground!!"

With that momentum, Cyclo threw Behemoth down into the wilderness.

Unable to resist DEM's propulsion or Cyclo's skill, Behemoth was flung down, falling disgracefully.

With a thunderous crash, Behemoth fell.

Cyclo didn't give it time to recover, immediately moving to continue the attack.

"DEM, transformation! 'Mode: Infight'!!"

Now, DEM would show its true combat capabilities.

Multi-purpose exoskeleton expansion type humanoid strategic mobile weapon!

The longer these descriptions are, the better. I'm knowledgeable about this stuff.
