Perspective Switching:

The border of Italy - Minano City.

The total duration of the Great Expedition is about 5~10 years.

In fact, if it is a pure rush.

Travel from the Holy City to London, considering a series of demonic attacks along the way, camping and healing...... With the support of "Endless Energy", one year is completely sufficient.

The reason why the time is set for such a long time is that the Great Expedition is divided into several phases.

Whenever a stage is reached, the expeditionary force will engage in a longer period of negotiation and rest.

At the same time, some knights or elite knights with development potential will also be sent from the [Gate of Destiny] in the Alien City to the Destiny Space for relevant trials.

As Han Dong conjectured, the Great Expedition was one of the greatest and most meaningful operations in human history, and it was not as simple as broadening one's horizons or winning some battles.

The Great Expedition is an important step for mankind, and it is also a step for humans to try to use their own strength as a stepping stone and try to be on an equal footing with the aliens.

The first stage - the Battle of Minano.

In accordance with the rules of the world, it is up to humanity to win.

Defeating the mythical body and the large title deeds it controls is of great significance.

Because human beings [are eligible to hold title deeds] were completely deprived of them long before prehistory.

Therefore, the real reward of the victory in the war is only the remnants of the alien materials in Minanori, and the hidden gold veins in the ground to compensate for the endless energy.

However, these substantive feedbacks are secondary.

Humanity has won a chance through this battle, a chance to talk to the Old King.

These processes were made possible by the Knights of the Secret Language's work on the decipherment of the Alien Slate.

Humans can use normal battle challenges as "steps" to improve their self-worth and get a chance to talk to the old king.

However, the situation is slightly different from the process deciphered on the slate.

According to the message given by the Knights of the Secret Language, the person who spoke to the expeditionary force should be the median old king who symbolized evil and dirt behind Minano.

Who knows.

When the war is won, a starry sky gate is opened from the central clearing.

From a human perspective, a mysterious man serving a bartender with his head obscured by a nebula.

The appearance of this person directly replaced the old king behind the Minano title deed, and took the initiative to have a meeting-style conversation with humans.

The meeting lasted for a full week.

The final result was not as good as expected, but it was not particularly bad.

Moreover, the old king he was talking to was a [superior being], holding absolute authority, and the promises he gave were enough to reassure the expeditionary force.

This person also gives a precondition for the requirements made by humans.

"Hopefully you'll be in London within a year and a half, if you can do well there.

I will personally consider reinstating your qualifications...... As for the specifics of the city of London, you will know when you arrive. ”

This requirement meant that the Great Expedition needed to be scaled down on the original plan.

The expeditionary force was also temporarily stationed in the city of Minano.

Use the Eye of the Expedition to get in touch with the Holy City hundreds of kilometers away, and revise the route plan of the Great Expedition, cutting out some unnecessary processes and compressing the overall plan.

However.

Malone has always been opposed to curtailing the expedition process.

He was unwilling to let the great expedition set out by humans with a lot of material, energy, and manpower to match the rhythm of the alien demons...... As a result, battles in many areas could not be played, and related chaotic materials and treasures could not be obtained.

Due to the intensification of contradictions in some details, Ma Long no longer attended some subsequent meetings.

He considered taking advantage of Minano's Gate of Fate to go to [Hell] to relax and relax.

Just when Malone was on his way to the gate of destiny alone.

A thick cold air of death accompanied by a skeletal horse, blocking Ma Long's way.

Death on horseback persuaded:

"Marlon...... Now is not the time to go to Hell.

In the unlikely event that something breaks out in hell, your delay could be months, if not years.

Moreover, the compression of the expedition process was also affirmed by the parliament.

You're right, to some extent, we are catering to the needs of the demons, but the essential purpose of our departure from the city is to negotiate terms with the demons. ”

"I came out to kill the enemy, and I was asked to kneel to negotiate conditions, but I couldn't kneel."

That's when it happened.

The "Ash Crown", which symbolizes the identity of the King of Hell, suddenly appears above Mallon's head.

This is usually only the case when you enter BATTLEMODE.

"Malone, do you want to fight?" Alex sacrificed the silver scythe, and the dead air overflowed.

"Wait......"

Ma Long had no intention of fighting at all, and his eyes looked in a certain direction.

Swish!

Suddenly, a pair of demonic wings grew from the back area, carrying themselves up to a height of 100 meters.

The emergence of the Ash Crown was not a subjective idea of Malone, but was stimulated by some kind of homology induction.

Looked at.

Alex also flew up and followed Marlon.

"The Great Devil...... And it's a great demon of extremely high purity.

What's going on? Could it be that the demon came to our world in reverse through the passage of fate...... Alex, where is this direction pointing, is it supposed to be? ”

"The City of London."

Malone then fell into deep thought, "Could it be that the [cataclysm] foreseen by Mr. Black and White and the group of prophets and writers has already arrived in advance?"

Is this what the old king told us to rush to London in advance in the previous meeting?

Really, just say no sooner?

Let that big demon guy hurry up and determine the compression plan, let's prepare for departure in advance. ”

"You ...... guy"

Alex was also helpless, but Marlon's character was like this.

Having said that, the demonic induction that Malone got is also an extremely important piece of information, and the expeditionary force must take it into account.

……

As a matter of fact.

This homologous induction does not come from a demon crawling out of hell...... It's Han Dong.

It may be a coincidence, but such a coincidence has promoted the 'chimerism' and 'turning' of the world's gears.

Han Dong, who is participating in the London game, has reached an unprecedented special status.

Sally waved her hand, "Yumi Halz. Cursed Whip", slammed Han Dong's body that was being simulated.

The main effect of the whip is to transmit and amplify the curse effect, which can be whipped into the target's body...... But the current situation is bizarre.

Most of the curses were counteracted by a kind of hell scripture that was stored in the soul as it penetrated Han Dong's skin.

"Huh? Curse Counteract ...... The soul plane has changed? ”

At this moment, Han Dong, who was enjoying the whipping physically, was engaged in the final 'consciousness simulation' with Togu.

The scenes of hell, the scenes of the monastery, and the terrifying experience of suffering were all imprinted into Han Dong's soul along with the simulation of consciousness.

-Synchronization rate 100%-

Pause.

[The Gate of Truth] appeared in front of Han Dong again, and with Togu as a basis, Han Dong got a chance to temporarily touch the door.

This means that Han Dong will temporarily reach the 'atavism' level.

Streams of rich demonic aura continued to overflow from Han Dong's body...... The Great Demon Stance has been activated.
