Mariana Grand Canyon.

Buzz –

The Secretary-General's plane came to a standstill.

Musashino stepped off the plane.

"It's cold."

Scarlett couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, with her demigod physique, as long as it is not a very extreme low temperature, she generally does not feel cold.

This cold feeling mainly comes from the large black haze ahead.

Musashino looks ahead.

It is said to be a canyon, but when you stand on one side of it, it feels like a cliff without edge, because you can't see the other side at all, and there are black clouds rolling in the middle.

"Where did you drop it from?" Musashino asked.

Kinnara frowned slightly:

"I can't really remember that.

"The Mariana Grand Canyon spans 30km, which is basically equivalent to the size of a B-class living area, and the terrain is the same height, there is no way to judge."

Musashino nodded.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, the extremely high-ranking seal of the "Book of Oblivion" definitely has the characteristics of activation, and even if it falls somewhere, it is impossible to be honestly in place.

Reynolds suggests:

"Let's get on a plane."

Roar –

Suddenly, there was a faint roar from within the canyon, as if it was some kind of giant wasteland creature hissing.

"And the wasteland creatures in there?" Scarlett asked in surprise.

The Grand Canyon is shrouded in black haze, and it stands to reason that it is difficult for life to survive.

"Yes."

Musashino replied:

"Not only are there them, but they are often not ancient varieties in the outside world."

Everyone got back on the plane.

Reynolds maneuvered carefully, and the scene outside the cabin gradually changed to a gray-black color.

"The depth of the Mariana Canyon is estimated to be more than 6,000 meters."

As he drove, he introduced what he knew.

"On the way down, there's a good chance we'll encounter some flying wasteland creatures."

Zila!

Before the words fell, a dazzling electric light suddenly lit up in the black haze ahead.

Syllable~

Electricity hit the window.

"It's an attack!"

In the black haze ahead, two points of light lit up like searchlights.

Immediately after, a monster resembling a large gear set emerged from the black haze, staring at Reynolds's plane.

"It's ......"

Scarlett held up the IPO-specific wasteland bioidentification illustrated:

"It's an animate metal monster."

The so-called activated metal monster refers to the metal receiving special radiation, and the complex current and magnetic field that can respond to the outside world are generated inside.

These electric currents, which are attached to the magnetic field, can communicate and think.

So the metal "lived".

This one in front of me should belong to the "gear monster".

"I didn't expect to come across this rare breed so soon."

Reynolds had a solemn expression.

At present, activated metals are quite scarce in the world.

Most metal monsters belong to high-level AI products.

This is because this kind of radiation source, which can mutate metals, seems to have been common only in prehistoric times, and it is relatively difficult to come across it now.

Squeak Quack –

The gear monster turned, and the hollow in the center of its body gradually condensed into a dazzling electric light:

"This place......

"No entry."

Rumble!

A torrent of thunder and lightning rushed straight into the face, washing over the plane.

"Oh?"

Although this attack was not very powerful, it still surprised Musashino slightly:

Such a pinion actually has the strength of the 5th order.

And that's just the first one you'll encounter when you enter the Grand Canyon.

Reynolds frowned, rolled down the window and stretched out his arm.

"Engage in energy attacks, and don't look at who I am?"

Boom –

His arm directly turned into a metal particle cannon, and a light that was a hundred times more dazzling than the gear monster's attack directly blasted back.

The gear monster exploded into a brilliant firework.

Scold~

Reynolds smiled: That's it?

"No entry here!"

However, in the next second, the same voice sounded, and one after another, more and more.

I saw countless points of light in the black haze lighting up one after another, blocking from all sides of the plane, menacing.

Over here......

There are at least a thousand gear monsters!

Most of their strength ranges from Tier 3~Tier 5.

The most powerful of them, in terms of energy level alone, is already very close to a demigod.

Zila-

Blinding lightning lit up in the black haze, these monsters seemed to be ready to attack together in the face of a powerful enemy.

Musashino stopped Reynolds, who was about to make a move:

"Wait a minute.

"Don't destroy it yet, try to throw these guys up and see if you can throw them out of the Mariana Canyon."

Just now he had a question:

Metal monsters live on the edge of the canyon, and it seems that they don't rely much on the environment in the canyon to survive, so why hasn't one escaped after so many years?

"Okay."

Reynolds shook his hand and threw a small golden ball.

Extraordinary ability, universal magnet.

Not only does this thing attract magnets, but it also has a strong attraction to all metals.

Therefore, as soon as they were thrown, the attacks of these gear monsters were interrupted, and they were directly forcibly attached to this small ball, hugging them into a large ball.

Immediately afterward, the magnet spat out a tail flame and flew towards the sky.

In this way, under the gaze of everyone, the gear monsters "ascended to heaven".

Musashino stared closely.

100 meters, 30 meters, 5 meters......

The metal ball was about to fly out of the black haze of the canyon.

Buzz –

At this moment, a bright light suddenly lit up over the canyon.

Crash~

The cogwheel monsters melted along with the magnet, evaporated in place, and were completely wiped out just before they were about to leave the canyon.

"It's!"

The eyes widened.

It turns out that there is an invisible sealing barrier outside this canyon, and everything in it is sealed and cannot escape.

"Who set this up?"

Reynolds asked inexplicably.

Musashino is clear:

This is the power of the gods.

And unlike the barrier of the Cleveland Medical Center, the strength here is far greater than that of Cleveland countless times, and it should have been poured into a lot of efforts by other gods.

Tomoya Asano probably guessed:

"Musashi-kun ......"

Musashino nodded slightly, indicating that it was him.

Call~

A sense of pride suddenly rose from the bottom of Asano's heart, more than 3,000 years ago, the other gods-sama was really unmatched.

"Let's go, keep going."

Musashino motioned for Reynolds to continue on his way.

In this way, the plane continued to descend for about 2,000 meters.

Suddenly, the canyon narrowed suddenly, and there was a large platform on the cliff in the middle, which was very flat.

"Huh?"

Musashino motioned to Reynolds to stop:

"It's ...... here"

On the platform, there is a laboratory.

The scale is very large, probably about the same as Kiyose Fujimi Hospital.

Reynolds turned on the searchlight to rule out the effects of the nuclear haze and allow everyone to see inside the lab base.

When it was presented, everyone looked incredulous.

Laboratory......

It's still on!

Even the exterior walls are as clean as new, not at all like they have been abandoned for a long time.

"Wait."

Reynolds' electronic eye activated, and he suddenly pointed to one of the windows, and Musashino looked in the direction, and soon frowned.

Inside the window......

There are actually figures walking around!
