Now Roland has three options in front of him, one is to use the opportunity created by Vakiris to set up an ambush to kill Hekzod. The risk of doing so is almost zero, which is equivalent to a devil lord under an empty glove.

Considering the difficulty of high-level promotion and the special ability of Hekzod, this move is a real benefit for the front line. Later, if the reason for the other party's failure to attend the appointment is blamed on an accident or some other factor, Vakiriss may not be able to see anything from it. If you're lucky, you might be able to lure other Maharaja in the same way.

The second is to put Hekzod into a dream and have a face-to-face conversation with Vakiris. Since the latter has taken the initiative to take the intention of cooperation a big step forward, the key point is not the nightmare itself, but the interlocutor. Ideally, the Nightmare would prove the reality and convince the Lord of the Sky to withdraw from the human kingdom and spread the message that "the war of divine will must be stopped" to the devil race. In this way, the passage from Eternal Winter to the Bottomless Realm will no longer be hindered, and as long as the last oracle is eliminated, he will be able to face the gods in the Bottomless Realm.

If this was just a war between humans and demons, Roland would undoubtedly choose the former, after all, taking out Hekzod was a surefire thing, and the battle situation in the north would also gain a greater advantage. The longer the time drags on, the more fully the war potential of industrialization can be brought into play.

But zooming in on the big picture makes a difference.

In addition to the devil and the Heavenly Sea Realm, the threat of the gods was imminent, and a Heavenly Dome Lord had become an insignificant victory. Even if the battle of divine will is won, human civilization will not escape the end of destruction.

At least Roland couldn't think of how far he had to go to survive such a terrible natural disaster.

Time is not on their side.

It was probably because of this that Vakiriss chose to take this risk.

It has to be said that this approach reveals a certain sincerity - at least after witnessing the attack of the Erosion and the Divine Messenger, it has taken Arashi's warning seriously as a top priority.

The problem is that the Nightmare Initiator "Thousand Shapes" has a great influence, and it can be said that it planted this idea in Vakiris's mind long before the war of divine will was completely broken. It can be said that it is a matter of course to be able to temporarily put aside the victory or defeat of a war and strive for the opportunity to continue the race from a higher perspective.

However, Hekzod had no experience with this, and it was doubtful that he would be able to reach an agreement with Vakiris after the exchange. Generally speaking, this kind of decision about the fate of the race may not be determined by a single negotiation, and the more they meet in the dream, the more the risk will increase, which is also difficult for Roland to accept.

For now, he prefers the third option.

It is a bottomless realm that temporarily maintains the status quo and strives to reach the end of the continent with the strength of humanity itself.

To be honest, this choice is most in line with Roland's appetite, and it is also the goal he has been striving for—no matter what the devil reacts, the ability of humans to reach their destination over a distance of thousands of kilometers is undoubtedly the safest outcome.

However, north of Eternal Winter is a continuous mountain terrain, and if you want to cross the continental spine, you must develop a vehicle with a range much larger than that of the Skyfire, and at the same time, you must have the ability to protect against air attacks. The process from R&D to production will undoubtedly take a lot of time, and it is also unknown whether the situation on the front lines will change during this time.

As he had realized before, it was also a risk to choose to be safe in the face of the threat of divine will.

The only difference from the first two options is that the degree of risk of this choice can be compensated for to a greater or lesser extent by human efforts.

The next time you go into a dream, try to ask the association for support.

Roland thought to himself.

After dinner, Anna walked into the office with a roll of drawings and sat down across from the mahogany table. It's a regular time for the two to communicate, and it's also a rather relaxed and enjoyable leisure time of the day. As long as the institute is not in operation in the evening, she will come to the office for two or three hours, and the content of small talk can be everything from the results of the day's work to the whimsical ideas that pop up.

At this time, the nightingale will also take shape, leaning on the coffee table and munching on snacks, while flipping through the comic books reproduced from dreams, and occasionally interjecting two sentences, the atmosphere seems peaceful and warm.

After solving the technical problems, Roland talked about the problems that plagued him in the dream.

"It turns out that this is the ...... that makes you sigh endlessly," said the nightingale, "must there be some connection between the two? What if the vision that dreams show you is just a random patchwork? ”

Roland rolled his eyes, "The brain doesn't have to degenerate, if everyone is like you, then the world is over." ”

"But if you continue to think like this, you will only finish faster than the world. ”

"......" he decided to retract his previous peaceful and warm view.

Anna didn't answer, she muttered for a long time before she thought, "I think the nightingale is right this time." ”

Nightingale and Roland couldn't help but be stunned together, "Huh?"

Anna couldn't help but laugh, "I don't mean not thinking about it, it's about the thing itself...... The connection between the two scenes may not be as complicated as you might think. ”

"Have you found any clues?" Roland said curiously.

Anna shook her head, "It's just some speculation, not necessarily correct. She pulled the hair from her ear and stared at the note she had made, "Let's say...... The order in which the two occur, or "time". ”

"The connection is...... When?" Roland frowned and thought for a moment before he wondered, "If the second act happened before the first act......

"They can be connected into a whole story. Anna answered.

"That's the price. 」

The price does not refer to the radiators who ascend to the heavens and end up with unknown whereabouts.

Not to mention those who were engulfed by tsunamis and storms.

The difference between the two is tens of thousands of years on the time scale...... Millions of years...... And even more distant.

The price refers to something else.

As a result, gravity is no longer worthy of admiration, and a huge red hole has appeared in the universe.

And if the implication in this line is magic, then "from this moment on" points to a striking conclusion.

Roland and Anna looked at each other.

"—There was no magic in this world. ”

The two spoke almost in unison.

Without mana, it means that creatures that need mana to survive will also cease to exist.

For example, the devil.

And also...... Witch.
