Othinus stepped on the ice and snow indifferently, and slowly stopped.
"Have you recognized the gap?"
She said with her back to the red-haired man lying on the ground.
Different from the state he was in when he arrived, his current state is probably only a little better than dying.
"Heh...ahem..."
The man who called himself "Fire on the Right" opened his mouth with difficulty, but found that his body did not allow him to waste a single breath.
Wanting to laugh? Maybe.
The difference in strength is overwhelming.
Othinus didn't care about the opponent's plan, she was still immersed in thinking about the last battle.
Demon God.
Astraea.
Although the total amount is still slightly lower than that, he has finally entered the same field as himself.
Not only that.
Orrels, who appeared last, was the disruptor and was also a destabilizing factor.
The one-eyed girl was silent.
The fountain of wisdom is flowing.
Speaking of which——
Suddenly.
Othinus turned around and lowered his gaze.
Although it is not as good as that half-finished guy and is still a bit ignorant, it should be of some use.
Just treat it as waste.
Othinus thought casually.
She has no concept of a partner, nor does she need one.
"How does it feel to have your proud right hand crushed by me?"
Without giving the final blow, as if the roles were reversed, the devil spoke condescendingly.
"..."
The sound of the fire on the right was buried by the ruthless wind and snow.
"No matter how much power is fixed in the body, it is useless if there is no medium enough to exert its effect. The so-called superiority of human beings is not such a superficial thing."
"The fact that you still have the chance to realize this is proof that you are alive."
The Divine Right, whose weakness was revealed, listened quietly, and could only listen.
He thought he could find an opportunity to 'save the world' this time, but he didn't expect that what he encountered was a complete failure.
Where in history were such ‘people’ hidden before?
The fire on the right tried hard to open his eyes, trying to see everything clearly.
The color of the sky is still the same as the lake.
"I don't have what you're looking for here."
Othinus continued.
"Academy City, go there."
She pointed the way.
Just a whim, nothing more.
"……cough……"
"Who...are...you..."
"...Why...tell me this..."
The fire on the right spoke in a hoarse voice, intermittently.
"You still have the strength to speak? It seems you still have merit."
The one-eyed figure rarely expressed surprise.
Then, she answered the first question in a rewarding tone.
"The devil, Othinus."
…
…
Time returns to the present.
The former five major societies in Northern Europe, the headquarters of the "Excalibur Masters".
The gorgeous decorations scattered everywhere represent the past glory of this place. After the leaders and main members were eliminated, now only ruins are left.
Two figures were walking in the dust.
Black Dwarf, Marianne Schlingnaia.
One of the "Kiharas" whose whereabouts were unknown in Academy City in the past, Kagun Kihara, is currently operating in the magical world under the name of the hero from Norse mythology, "Belushi".
They were originally unrelated but met three years ago.
Craftsmen striving for excellence and Avengers acting in search of new power.
There is no story about their relationship that requires too many words to describe. Time is the best recorder.
Until not long ago.
A somewhat unreasonable but powerful new customer broke this tacit understanding and brought a new job.
That's why the two of them appeared here.
"It's really easy to get it. At this time, shouldn't there be mechanisms to protect the treasure or various monsters to stop us?"
The brown-skinned girl with braided braids played with the trophy in her hand and said with unfinished content.
She is quite petite, and her usual outfit is a jumpsuit.
"Now, the last piece of the puzzle that 'she' needs has been obtained. When I went to look for the materials for the 'gun' before, it was obviously a challenge, but it went too smoothly."
Marian shrugged and looked at her companion.
"You think so too, Belushi."
"..."
The man being questioned did not reply, but stood uncharacteristically where he was.
"Belushi?"
Marianne shouted again strangely.
When she followed the latter's gaze and turned her head, she realized that they were not the only ones here.
When exactly did it come?
The blacksmith girl cooed.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going to conduct a final experiment?"
"This is also part of the test."
The one-eyed girl who appeared out of nowhere walked slowly forward and walked into the sunlight.
She looked thoughtfully in a certain direction and said softly.
"I didn't even notice when I came so close. It seems that the 'red guy' is working well."
Then, the one-eyed girl—Othinus no longer struggled with this aspect, and instead took Marianne and her companions into his eyes.
"Where's what I want?"
She got to the point.
"That's it."
Marian shook her hand and threw the thing over.
What completed the parabolic motion in the air was a piece of sparkling magic gold.
"Rather than sink the treasures of Nibelung...in here, it would be better for me to make the best use of them."
The demon girl asserted.
All the elements have come together.
Thanks to the man with the second right hand who was tossing around, it was more 'cooperative' than expected.
Next.
Did you, who was bound by humans, win the second game?
Othinus smiled softly.
As for the man on the right.
From the moment he mistakenly thought that the "Demon" was just stronger than himself and took action, he was doomed to fail.
…
…
at the same time.
Just when the situation in the world continues to be turbulent and undercurrents surge.
When Othinus hadn't noticed yet and Astraea had no time to care.
In the dark sky and earth, figures continued to break through the obstacles of infinite distance and slowly gathered together.
"So, the research on the little 'zombie' is obviously completed, why don't we 'go out' yet?"
The dissatisfied voice of the Demon God "Empress" sounded quietly.
"Don't worry, I finally convinced the 'Zombie' kid to hide it from 'Seng Zheng' and the others. If he shows up now, everything will be in vain."
She could not see her face, but she could conjure up the enchanting mature female voice as she answered.
"...'Nephthys', are you looking forward to it too?"
"Empress" said softly.
"haha, yes."
The demon god known as 'Nephthys' smiled happily.
"The new kid is preparing something very interesting."
she suddenly thought.
Maybe.
The other demon gods were not really concealed by her, but also changed their plans.
Yes.
That 'special' 'Devil' has such value.

This chapter can be used in conjunction with Chapter 53, Interlude 6, Interlude 7, and Interlude 11. It can be regarded as filling two holes (and digging two more by the way?), um, several years ago =-=
PS: The daily update is because it’s been really empty recently. I can’t say whether it can be maintained like this when things get back to normal (face covering)
