Above the ocean current, waves surged one after another.

The dark clouds covered the entire sky. Although there was no thunder or lightning, the sea surface was like a lake in a rainstorm, with countless intertwined ripples.

The vibrations and mist coming from the bottom of the abyss added a bit of mystery to this place, like a big bowl turned upside down on the ground, trying to seal people in it.

Even on international maps and nautical charts, this area is not regarded as an indicator for determining territory and sea areas.

Local fishermen who are familiar with the ocean are even more respectful of it.

"Is this the ship graveyard?"

Looking at the natural defense barrier below, Roland said with interest.

With the Emperor Kakine, who was specially cultivated by him with magnetic field power, as a beacon, plus the traces of Orelus and Gremlin, the destination of the two is no secret to him.

Just a little elimination method on the territory of Blue Dream Company can easily draw a conclusion.

These islands piled up on the reefs are the places where Othinus chose to build the gun.

It must be said that this choice is very clever.

The nearby sea area has never had any sovereignty disputes because it is the intersection of multiple currents.

In addition, this area also serves as a marine drain. It not only has complex reefs, but also has a lot of drifting objects stuck. It is also useless in terms of economic value, so it will not attract the attention of others.

But in fact, due to the speed and weight of the ocean currents, unlike the general nature of the sea garbage mountain, what gathers in this place are often various ship wrecks.

The stacking of metal and steel, plus the reefs as the foundation, this ship cemetery has long been a decent island.

And because no one has been interested in it, the ship cemetery has also derived many legends that make people stay away. As long as it is used properly, it can be turned into a stronghold with a vein.

With radar, computers and engines, which are necessary for the shipwreck, this place is simply a fortress with both offensive and defensive capabilities and is extremely hidden.

Even if someone wants to invade, they must slowly attack through the stacked ships. As a place for a decisive battle, it is really the most suitable place.

"But the so-called concealment is only relative. With Othinus's vision, it is impossible that he did not realize that he has not been exposed..."

Roland slowly fell onto the deck below and stared at the huge door made of alloy and rotten wood in front of him.

As he expected, he did not need to try to break it open. This exaggerated door suddenly opened on its own initiative.

Of course, anyone can realize that this is not a signal of welcome from the owner inside.

"Such a unique invitation is really in the style of the demon god."

Roland whistled.

Knowing that he might be discovered, he neither exposed himself nor changed the location.

If the enemy cannot find this place, keep it as it is. If the enemy can find this place, open the door as a signal of inviting a battle.

This is both a reward for the brave and a silent threat.

Without even thinking about it, the members of Gremlin are probably already preparing to fight back. In addition, they don't know what kind of traps there will be in this self-contained temple. It is obvious that this is a shortcut set up to screen out the strong who can threaten them.

If there is no absolute confidence in oneself, it is impossible to come up with such a plan.

"Every time I fight with such an invincible guy, I always have an indescribable feeling..."

Roland shrugged his shoulders, looked around for a while, and walked in with a swagger.

Obviously, in terms of Othinus's current state, although he is not evaluated as a coward, he is at most a tiger that is changing its teeth.

But at this point, he still does not forget to maintain this arrogance reflected in the details.

Roland felt very subtle about this, and always had a vision of a puppet master and her golden wolf.

"But this time, I will be kind enough."

Roland, who originally did not intend to play hide-and-seek, jumped directly into the transport ship that was split into two halves and was as steep as an abyss.

Although the intricate environment and fog around him constantly sent out misleading forces, this level of magic was naturally useless.

Although he had not yet completely integrated with the power stored in the throne, after descending to heaven, Roland's body itself possessed the characteristics of an ultimate creature.

With the power of the third law of soul materialization, the accumulated characteristics of the past world have all reappeared on his body.

Apart from anything else, the power taken from Veleslana alone was enough to invalidate this spell.

But what was somewhat unexpected to Roland was that he did not encounter any traps or obstacles along the way. It didn't take long for him to walk into an open steel nest.

Or rather, on the battlefield.

The beautiful boy with long golden hair stood side by side with a tall woman who looked quite generous. Opposite them was a group of angry magicians.

"It's faster than I expected..."

The blond boy turned his head quickly without paying attention to Gremlin, who was staring at him from the opposite side, and stared at Roland who had just walked in with bright eyes.

"Great."

After feeling the opponent's power, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"As expected, he was called a monster by Orelus, who was supposed to be a demon god. It seems that guy really didn't do anything unnecessary."

"I think this is just superfluous."

Silvia couldn't hide the worry in her voice. After taking a look at Roland's appearance, she quickly looked away, as if one more look would awaken her psychological shadow.

"Anyway, Orelus has successfully entered the core. To be suddenly intruded into the battlefield by someone with unknown purpose at this moment is not an exaggeration. Only a battle madman like Thor would feel excited. Bar."

"After all, I joined Gremlin just to have a good time. Only on a higher stage can I meet stronger enemies. This sentence is indeed the truth."

As a being whose spell and name were based on the legend of the God of Strength and Thunder, Thor could not hide the fierce and boiling fighting spirit in his heart when he saw the strong man he admired.

But unlike these two guys who had already achieved their goals, the moment everyone in Gremlin saw Roland, their anxiety and panic were completely revealed on their faces.

It was already a huge mistake to put a troublesome figure like Orrels into the center of the ceremony before there was even time for a fight.

As a result, before they had time to deal with the aftermath, another guy with unknown purpose came, and the development of the matter was completely beyond their expectations.

"Another one is here, Thor, you really betrayed!"

The one who shouted angrily was the magician named Loki.

Because of his personal style of bullying both enemies and ourselves, he was suspicious of all members except Othinus. He even did not hesitate to influence the ceremony and set up another Ship Cemetery with special false information.

As a result, they did not expect that Thor, as a mole, had no intention of playing an intelligence war with them. He directly sent a signal to the outside world through the aftermath of the surprise attack, catching Orrels by surprise.

Judging from the earthquake that had almost stopped shaking just now, I am afraid that satellites from various countries have already captured this abnormal signal.

Seeing his carefully prepared plan being so brutally broken, Loki's heart was filled with the aggrieved feeling of ogling a blind man.

"Please don't worry. I will only act for myself, and I am not Orelles' helper. You don't have to worry about me helping them. Strictly speaking, I am actually neutral."

Looking at Gremlin with different expressions and the eyes gradually focusing on him, Roland smiled slightly and said calmly.

"oh?"

This performance made everyone in Gremlin calm down.

Although Thor was the only one who betrayed, his only helper was Silvia.

But the situation is actually overwhelmingly unfavorable to them. In the world of magicians, quantity never means strength.

As a female saint, Silvia is troublesome enough, not to mention Thor, the former deputy leader, as a helper. In terms of combat alone, their advantage is not great.

After looking at each other, a petite girl with brown skin and silver braids hanging on the back of her head stood in the center of the crowd and walked out.

Marian Slingnaia, as a rare black dwarf in the world, has irreplaceable importance in creating spiritual equipment.

Therefore, despite being a non-combatant, because she was the only one present who knew the current progress of the ceremony, she became the temporary leader after Thor, who was the deputy leader, betrayed,

Marian's expression was a bit grim. The ritual of forging the Spear of the Lord God was different from ordinary weapon forging. After completing the necessary processes, the last period of time required waiting for the spear to grow on its own.

During this process, she did not want to add unnecessary enemies to interfere with the operation of the ritual unless necessary.

For the time being, let’s be conciliatory and wait for as long as possible...

"So, can I ask your name?"

"He is Roland."

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind Marian. The girl was slightly startled and looked at the gloomy-looking Kihara Kagun behind her.

As a magician transformed from Kihara, who symbolizes science, Kihara Kagun is far more reliable in terms of common sense than this group of companions who are ignorant of worldly affairs.

He had been paying attention to Academy City's intelligence, and he knew very well what kind of forces and leaders could control Academy City on Aleister's behalf, so he simply broke his companions' delusions to prevent them from accidentally getting caught.

"There is no need to argue about his position. As the leader of Blue Dream Company, he is inherently in an antagonistic relationship with thieves like us."

"I am merciless in my own evaluation. This self-awareness is worthy of praise. You don't need to worry. I am not lying about my neutrality."

Roland raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips grew.

"Whether it is a demon god or something similar to it, it is unnecessary for my world, so you don't have to worry about which side I will choose to stand on.

——Both of them are objects that I must eliminate. "

"What……"

One after another, exclamations suddenly appeared inside Gremlin.

Fear, solemnity, awe, different colors bloomed alternately in their pupils, and their rapid breathing and cold sweat on their foreheads also exposed their weakness.

As the last battle in Operation Gremlin, the many crises they encountered when invading Blue Dream Company were still fresh in their memories.

As the initiator who created opportunities for their actions, even Gremlin, who was somewhat reclusive, firmly remembered Roland's record of single-handedly throwing the entire world into chaos, and obeyed him.

Gremlin members are indeed powerful magicians, but not all of them who are gathered together because of their wishes are fearless and crazy people who have abandoned common sense and reason.

It is normal to be disturbed by the sudden news that this enemy, who is no less powerful than Orelus, is right in front of them, and they just broke into someone else's house and stole the materials.

"Could it be..."

Marian turned her head suddenly and looked at Thor and Xiweiya on the side.

The two who had been talking to them with a relaxed attitude before were now fully armed, and Thor, who had been talking to them with a smile before, released his magic power without reservation.

This expected look undoubtedly explained why he deliberately let the battle fall into a stalemate before.

Marian's heart moved, and she gritted her teeth and said.

"So that's it, you want to use us!"

The so-called neutrality needs to be viewed from a standpoint.

To remain neutral when the strong beat the weak is to stand on the side of the strong.

Being neutral to a friend means standing on the side of his opponent.

Introducing a strong but neutral person between two enemies who are incompatible with each other is to launch a goal that makes both sides worry about each other and form a common front.

Roland is an uncontrollable variable.

Although Orelus regards him as an unexpected trump card, the two sides have never been allies, and can even be said to be hidden enemies.

As people who have also come into contact with the way of the devil, Orelus's concerns about Othinus also exist in Roland.

It's just that due to fate and mobility, he has no ability and no time to take care of Roland now.

The current situation is that Orelus has broken into the manufacturing ceremony of the Lord God's Spear, and may have met Othinus and started a confrontation.

Gremlin, who knows Othinus's strength, does not think that his leader will not be able to control the situation in a one-on-one situation. Even if he has to make a gun, he will at most be at a disadvantage.

But if a third party is put in, who will win or lose may still be debatable, but the gun ceremony will most likely be completely interrupted, and then all the efforts of Gremlin will be wasted.

The same is true for Thor. They also pin their hopes on Orels, and don't want him who is already prepared to be disturbed by an accident.

So he, who has always been warlike, did not take action against Gremlin, but chose to wait.

When the situation of either dying together or working together appears, he can let himself go.

"Thor, you bastard!"

As her thoughts flowed, Marian, who had figured it out, had made a choice.

"This is also unavoidable, but I have to be worthy of my conscience and not put my own goals above the safety of the world, and I have to satisfy my dream of pursuing battle, so I have to resort to this last resort. Anyway, you have been involved, and it doesn't matter if I use you."

The reason why he chose to betray Gremlin was because of the kindness in his heart and he could not tolerate Othinus's involvement of others and staying out of it alone.

Thor showed a bright smile full of excitement.

"I am Thor, the god of thunder. So, for the glory of the northern gods, I will fight!" (End of this chapter)
