“Is this… how the world looks like?” Camilla suddenly seemed to realize something.

“That’s right, if we roll the floor up, it will be a world map.” Roland placed the pencil down and said looking down at this toes, his mind wandering off. Who knew if it was a coincidence or not, but in history, Christopher Columbus traveled from the Spanish Port of Palos for 70 days and nights and arrived at the land now called America, thereby rewriting the way we view the world. Joan traveled in a similar fashion, and was the first to discover the general appearance of the world.

Although the two had completely different intentions, their method of discovery were exactly the same—history might not remember Joan’s name, but the Exploration Group had turned into a reality because of her ‘trip around the world’.

But that was whole point of being an explorer.

To Roland, the most important point was undoubtedly to pinpoint the exact location of the Bottomless Land and Sky-sea Realm.

Especially the former.

Joan’s discovery gave him the confirmation that the actualization of the Realm of Mind was not as far out as he had imagined, and it was evidently good news. At the very least, they had a clear parameter and goal in improving the designs for the bombers and ‘Fire of Heaven.’

Although the Sky-sea Realm which was situated above the sky was beyond their reach, it was fortunate that they were fighting against the demons. Even if they set off towards the east, they had to land at the west bank of the Land of Dawn, which was still a great distance away from the Fertile Plains.

“That leaves one final question.” Nightingale grunted. “Who is the woman Joan encountered on the Shadow Island? There wasn’t any traces of human inhabitants there, and if she is someone sent by God, we don’t really have a reason to help her, right?”

Roland kept silent for a long while. “I’m afraid that this is the most troublesome issue.”

“Why is that?” Camilla did not understand.

“Theoretically, regardless of who wins or loses in the Battle of Divine Will, if the ultimate result is still destruction, then God is our enemy.” He spoke with hesitation, “But if the Guardian isn’t expressing any hostility and has a completely different concept on good and evil from us, then… they have never ever really thought anything of us at all. Such a relationship is like how we will tend to an injured bird.”

The two witches looked at each other simultaneously in shock.

But what came next was a bone chilling intent that shot up from the bottom of their feet.

Both of them knew that if a group of birds stole grains, humans would kill them without hesitation. But no one truly treated birds as enemies, and would even save one or two from the claws of a cat. What came after that was irrelevant to good or evil, but the preference of an individual.

The Battle of Divine Will had gone through multiple cycles and no one knew how many races had walked down the path of destruction. But the continuity of these civilizations would not cause God to hesitate. Even if the lady had saved Joan, it was not an action that represented favoritism towards the humans.

“This… is really scary.” Camilla Dary muttered.

“I hope that my theory is wrong.” Roland sighed. “But since we need to stop the Battle of Divine Will, I am afraid we can’t escape facing God.”

“This is the price.”

“Stop your foolish act. You don’t even know what you’re up against!”
