Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"What are you going to do as a mere half-baked person standing in front of a pure demon god?"

Othinus uttered a curse word somewhat rudely.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. What else can I do except hinder whatever you want to accomplish?"

The gloomy blond young man whispered unceremoniously.

"After all, I am just a half-baked person who can neither defeat you nor kill you, right, a demon god troubled by his own perfection?"

Orelus looked completely sincere with his sarcastic smile.

This enthusiasm, as if he had found the meaning of life, even diluted the dull disappointment in him.

"..."

Othinus was silent for a moment.

Then, without any warning, a deafening explosion sounded again between the two of them.

Because the intervals between the explosions were too short, there was only one sound in total, and there was not even anything visible to the naked eye.

But as long as you are at the scene, you can feel the visceral horror and indescribable pressure.

Although his role is that of an Old One who should be defeated by the right Demon, this fall in status cannot change Orelus's power to confront the Demon head-on.

The evenly matched performance in the explosion just now is the best proof of this.

The one-eyed girl narrowed her eyes, stretched out her slender white fingers and gently pressed down the edge of the witch's hat.

In this battlefield where it is impossible to tell who will win, Orelus has already shown the advantage.

The small failure did not disturb Othinus's mind. She analyzed the current situation calmly and rationally.

Among Gremlin's high-end combat forces, only Thor is one. If the other party betrays him and he, as the backbone, is unable to help, there is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Othinus glanced at a corner of the hall, where a girl had fainted.

She is also a member of Gremlin, codenamed Throwing Hammer. Because she is responsible for providing energy, she stayed after Marian completed the ritual and left.

But in the confrontation brought about by the power of the Demon God's realm, she obviously had no spare energy to continue providing energy.

In this case, although the ritual was only one step away, it could almost be said that the plan to manufacture the Spear of the Lord had been aborted.

This spiritual weapon still has some possibility of recovery, but it is of no use when the defeat on the periphery is difficult to reverse.

The eyes of the whole world are probably focused on this temple. Although they cannot interfere with Othinus in the slightest, with Orelus acting as a hindrance, it is more than enough to destroy the unfinished Spear of the God.

This is a difference in subject matter.

For a world that never thought it could win from the beginning, no matter how many people were killed by the aftermath of Othinus's battle, as long as the gun was smashed to pieces, it would be a victory.

"It's really troublesome. They are all like this. Can't you be more clear-headed?"

Othinus muttered to himself in a disappointed tone.

"It can't be helped. Who made you use your own potential in a negative direction? Even if it's just a small trick, as long as there are enough of them, we can create a drama that will make God stay for a while."

"I came here with the intention of dying together, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Orelus looked relaxed.

Hearing these words, Othinus blinked his only remaining eye and his face became even colder.

"Really... In that case, let's do as you say.

"Anyway, it seems that in order to manufacture the spear according to the original plan, I have to kill you. Since you have tricked me, I will use this 50-50 possibility to fulfill your wish."

The girl's adorable, moist eyes revealed an icy gaze, as if she wanted to freeze Orelus into an ice cube alive.

"I am the god of magic who can distort the laws of life and death for my own struggle. If I can kill you at this price, it would be a good deal."

“Hahaha! That’s an honor. Although I was an impure being who was supposed to become a demon god but stopped halfway, at least I’ve been freed from the possibility of being caught between a rock and a hard place. Unlike you who still have to maintain your balance, I have a higher chance of winning, okay?”

In the air that seemed filled with lead, although all the muscles in Orelus' body were tense, he still provoked Othinus's anger with just a few words.

"Let it vanish into nothingness."

Amidst Othinus's sneer, a strange voice was heard again.

Tens of millions of explosions instantly flooded the space between the two.

Limited by the constraints and conditions of this world, the power displayed by both sides is incomplete, but even so, this exaggerated power has exceeded the level that can be understood.

No skills or tricks are required.

Ignoring the concept of numbers and with no end in sight, wrestling with absolute strength on an exploding wall is the way to communicate at this level.

It's like two people arm wrestling in a seat where they can't leave. Whoever can completely suppress the opponent's strength will win.

It can be said to be a battle of full purity.

Although he was already familiar with this kind of fight, Orelus still frowned at the torrent of explosions that seemed to last forever.

Can't win.

In terms of consumption alone, it would not be a problem for him to fight for another whole day, but this would not change the final outcome.

Orelus himself is a legend in the mouths of many people, but he should have reached the level of a demon god, and could never be compared with a real demon god.

In terms of total strength, the two are not at the same level at all.

This balanced confrontation was only because Othinus had suffered a backlash when making the spear and had not yet fully recovered, and Orels was constantly using his own strength to respond to the possibility of the girl's failure.

But the initiative is still in the hands of the other party.

Unless she also possessed infinite possibilities, no matter how close Othinus came to defeat, she still had a chance of success.

As long as the event is dragged out long enough and the number of trial and error is sufficient, there will always be a success.

“Besides, there are too many variables.”

With a monster no less powerful than Othinus lurking in the outside world, Orelus cannot afford to be careless.

Although in his plan, the other party's role was the straw that saved the drowning man, he was also very clear that if the timing was wrong, that seemingly thin straw would in turn break the camel's back called the world.

Orel's expression became increasingly stern.

He glanced at the spear that was still a few inches away in the center pool.

After destroying this last trace, the strategic goal this time will be achieved. Then, whether to continue fighting or take the opportunity to escape, there will be plenty of opportunities.

He was not trapped by infinite possibilities, so there was no need for him to fight to the death with Othinus here.

"This war will soon be over."

The moment he finished speaking, Orelus gritted his teeth and took the risk of further expanding the scale of the explosion.

Realizing what he was going to do, Othinus frowned. However, if she quit halfway after the fight began, all the possibilities accumulated in the previous battle would undoubtedly be reset to zero, and she would have to start accumulating all over again. Therefore, she had no choice but to follow Orelus's actions and increase the chips on the gambling table again.

"boom--"

A pure white flash suddenly exploded in the ship graveyard, and the stunning sight of the rising sun even caused a rainbow to appear in the surroundings.

After the explosion disappeared, a trace of confusion flashed across Othinus's remaining eyes as he watched the extremely embarrassed figure tumbling out from the dust and mist.

That's Orelles.

She didn't have any chance of success just now, but why did the other party still fly backwards?
However, before she could seek answers, a voice in the sky answered her questions.

"What makes you say the war is over?"

The shadow of a dragon covered the sky and loomed over the ship graveyard. A strange feeling of oppression filled the entire battlefield, causing the unconscious throwing hammer to tremble silently.

It was as if what was flowing in her body was no longer ether, but heavy mercury.

Fortunately, when this invisible pressure was about to break her spirit, the shadows around her had already swallowed her up.

The young man standing on the dragon's shadow fell from the sky, and the embarrassed figure of Orelus was reflected in his true red eyes without any emotion.

"Before we even started eating the main course, you tried to arbitrarily cancel the banquet by stealing dessert, without any regard for the feelings of other guests..."

Roland's voice was soft but chilling.

"Kind person passing by, you have crossed the line."

Kind people passing by...

Orelus was slightly startled, then he reacted immediately.

In order to stop Othinus, he quietly left clues, trying to use Roland's power and himself as a backup to stop Othinus' actions.

Given the other party's willful style, he would never allow himself to take the opportunity to leave after causing trouble.

He and Othinus were probably the ones he planned to eliminate.

It's no secret that Roland has some purpose and desire to rule the world.

Judging from the oppressive feeling that only belonged to the devil on the other side, he had obviously entered this realm. Therefore, he was well aware of how much instability would be caused by allowing such an enemy to show itself out, and naturally he would not miss this good opportunity.

"It's really an unexpected divergence of lines. In the current world, a new kind of person has actually been born."

Othinus, who was watching intently, also roughly guessed what had happened.

Feeling Roland's breath, thinking of their encounter a year ago, her voice, which was emotionless and as clear as raindrops falling on the lake, also had a hint of displeasure.

"...In other words, you came here to play a trick on me?"

"tease?"

Roland was stunned for a moment before he realized what the girl was referring to.

When he first entered the Magical Index, he lost all possibilities and was captured by Othinus' gravity when invading the world.

Although the final outcome ended with his disappearance, he suddenly reappeared just one year later, and directly stepped into the realm of demons from an ordinary human.

The contrast is too huge. Even with Othinus's qualifications, he would not think that someone could grow to this level in about a year?
From Othinus's perspective, he was deliberately pretending to be weak. His calm attitude of waiting for her attack and not resisting was a mockery of her being a demon god but falling into such an embarrassing situation.

"What a huge misunderstanding! Those words came from my heart." Roland shook his head helplessly. "It's better to say that as a fellow human being restricted by fate, it's hard not to empathize with me."

"I feel the same way? ... Humph"

The girl stared at Roland intently as she chewed on the word. Her tone was still flat, but the cold snort at the end still revealed her inner fluctuations.

Unlike Orelus, who was created because she gave up her power and caused a bug in the world, Roland's power is very pure. He is a strong man who can step into the realm of the devil at any time and stand on equal footing with her.

Therefore, the arrogance in Othinus' attitude was restrained, and some of his real emotions were revealed.

"Whether your words are true or not, I will personally verify them with my power later. However, I will prioritize stopping Orelus, but I want to forge a gun, and you who were born in this world should be incompatible with me. We should fight each other as soon as we meet."

A faint light flashed in Othinus' deep green eyes.

"Although fighting is indeed inevitable, I am not a fighting weapon. My likes and dislikes, interests, and emotions are the basis of my actions. If I pay too much attention to you and let you run away, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

"Although it may be a bit rude to say this, I don't intend to take it back."

Roland smiled with ease and shrugged happily.

"——You two are my targets."

There was no sense of alienation or strangeness between the two of them, and their conversation was as natural as if they were old friends who had just met. Orelus, who had stood up again, was stunned.

What's happening here?
When did the two of them ever meet?
But it is not important.

The attitude in Roland's words made Orelus feel a little uneasy for no reason.

"No matter what the past grudges are, you can do whatever you want to me after the battle, but now Othinus is our common enemy. She is the spirit of the old era, and the new era should not bear her wishes."

Seeing that the originally three-way situation suddenly became ambiguous, he quickly spoke up to add fuel to the fire.

"Even Gremlin, who was created by him, is only regarded by Othinus as a chess piece that can be replaced at any time. She, who has no attachment to anything in this world, is the biggest threat."

Although he regarded Roland as a monster second only to Othinus and wanted to use him to kill two birds with one stone, Orelus was not a completely reckless person.

He quickly grasped the core contradiction that the world would be destroyed if Othinus recovered, and tried to pull Roland to his side.

Since both of them want the world to continue to exist, they are on one side no matter how you look at it, right?
however--

The light that transcends everything blooms again.

Orelus was slightly startled, and subconsciously followed his instinct to suddenly create the same explosive wall as before.

But this time, the forces that were enough to hold out against Othinus did not work. Instead, they were easily pushed aside like water splashes.

"Being smart."

As Roland sneered, a divine hand rose from his right shoulder and crossed the space, knocking Orelus away like a ball, making him spin freely in the air, and finally smashing him hard into the ground.

"what?"

Orelus was stunned and suddenly screamed.

The pros and cons were clearly laid out before his eyes, so why did Roland still choose to be enemies with both him and Othinus?
Compared to him who is alone, Roland, who has a family in the world, should be more reluctant to see the appearance of an enemy who can overturn the table.

"You think too much. Any action must have a satisfactory reward. I will take action against you only for a very simple reason."

Roland opened his mouth slightly, and even though the explosions around him continued, his voice still miraculously reached Orelus' ears.

Roland said this righteously while Orelus had a distorted expression on his face as he pinned him to the ground with just one hand, making him unable to move.

"——Orels, you are too dangerous." (End of this chapter)
