Omega

**Omega** is a captain on the Beta-2 Bomber of the Zeroth Magic Fleet of the Holy Milishial Empire.

## Personality

Omega is a pilot on the multipurpose aircraft specializing in air control, known as the Beta-2 Bomber. He was nervous in his mind of the Holy Milishial Empire that anti-ship warfare was to be conducted primarily with large cannons, so they’d been taught that they could not engage warships or attempt to sink them while piloting aircraft. There had never been a case in all of history where an aircraft successfully sank a magic ship (although there were examples in the past of ships-of-the-line without anti-air measures being sunk by aircraft); at best, all their attacks could do was provide ancillary support that was what Omega believed.

However, he and his squadrons had no idea what strategy this Gra Valkas Empire would employ. Hypothetically, if they were facing Mu, military leadership had determined that the best course of action would be to leverage their superior speed and adopt guerrilla hit-and-run tactics; Omega himself agreed with this assessment. Considering it again, regardless of how powerful their enemy was, the hit-and-run maneuvers they’d practiced countless times would be the best choice here.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

During the Eleven Country Leadership Conference, Fleet Commander Battista came into contact with and engaged the unknown fleet during a training session in the Magdola archipelago in the southwestern part of the Holy Milishial Empire. In the ship's bridge, Battista jutted out into the sky, showing twenty-five Beta-2 bombers in a position that they would commence the attack.

Squad Captain Omega, onboard the Beta-2 bomber, focused solely on getting off a single attack on the enemy’s ships. The Beta-2 bomber’s magical light discharge-type compressed air engine let out a shrill noise as it soared in the skies over the fleet of the Gra Valkas Imperial Judgment Force at 410 km/h before, at once, all twenty-five planes turned then dove at a 50° angle, their bellies holding 520 kg of magic explosives ready to fall on their targets.

The anti-air bullets of light began flying up into the air from the Gra Valkas imperial ships. Suddenly, a burst of black smoke blossomed from the Beta-2 bomber diving right in front of him. Omega passed the Beta-2 bomber, which was riddled with holes, its wings in tatters. It went into a tailspin. From what he could make out from the fuselage as it fell, the cockpit was dyed completely red.

The sheer number of light bullets had grown mercilessly, and they rushed at the Beta-2 bombers all at once. They weren’t closing in on the enemy fleet at all. The Beta-2 bomber fell, then another. Omega cursed himself to see too many light bullets. They were being assaulted by a rain of light. The number of planes decreased; 80% of them made it through to the bombing point.

Finally, they were at the right altitude to release their bombs. He shouted at them to drop the bombs. They aimed for the largest target, the Gra Valkan warship, and let go of their explosive cargo. Somehow completing their mission, the surviving Beta-2 bomber’s noses abruptly pulled up and they withdrew from the battlefield. The whistle of the bombs pierced through the stage of the war, falling right at the ship below. The Gra Valkan warship turned to its left and attempted to evade. The bombs hit the surface of the ocean. The pressure broke through to the air, creating gigantic pillars of water. Black smoke also began spilling from the enemy ship.

After the heavily damaged Gold-class battleship *Variant* hit and sank by torpedoes launching from the Gra Valkas imperial destroyers, Battista cursed with the humiliation of losing a ship. Detecting two hundred aircraft over 50 kilometers away, he could see black dots peppering the sky, slowly going up in number. He ordered the crews to prepare anti-air measures. The Zeroth Magic Fleet hurriedly readied their anti-air weaponry. He watched the sky where few Alpha-3 fighters and Beta-2 bombers flew over above them.

Omega found sweat dripping down his face when he imagined facing a powerful enemy the likes of which they had never seen in the last battle. The eleven Beta-2 bombers began to climb. Forty Antares fighters had left their formation, flown out well in front of the air fleet, then also ascended in turn faster. With his exceptional eyesight, he noticed that those forty planes had a different shape than the rest of the enemy fleet. He flipped on the switch for his magic communicator and spoke his squadrons to climb up in twenty kilometers from the enemy and then fall on their main air fleet with hit-and-run attacks. The eleven squadrons kept flying higher as they closed in on the enemy. Aiming to bomb their formation, as soon as they were twenty kilometers away, they dived sharply from their extremely high altitude. Their magic engines left blinding blue light in their wakes as they were pushed to their limits. Inside, the only things the pilots could hear were the sound of the plane slicing through the air and the high-pitched whine of the engine.

The Antares fighters swarmed towards them, shortening the distance between them swiftly. Omega glared at them, but he noticed the Sirius dive-bombers had also begun to dive straight for Milishial’s Zeroth Magic Fleet right below them. They dropped the bombs down to the Mithril-class battleship *Colebrand*. Suddenly the top of the *Colebrand* exploded. The battleship *Colebrand's* bulky armor on the rear end of the ship caused the explosive to erupt on contact.

After that, Omega was thought to have participated in the subsequent battle after the battleship *Colebrand* exploded and sank by the torpedoes from the Rigel torpedo bombers, but since there was no further description, his life and death were unknown.
