“Ever since the Lan Yu family offered their little shrine maiden, the Yase family has merely eked out a living on Itogami Island.”

“So, it’s normal for Yase Kenju to make such a choice.”

The old man said with a cold laugh, scoffing.

“However, this also shows the cold-blooded side of this guy.”

Itogami Island hasn’t been established for long.

It can be said that it was created by Yase Kenju and Lan Yu Asagi.

But this guy didn't show the slightest nostalgia.

Instead, to get revenge, he chose to sacrifice all the innocent residents on Itogami Island.

“Indeed.”

The woman in the suit also sighed softly.

Outsiders like them feel immense pressure in their hearts when doing this kind of thing.

But Yase Kenju made the decision easily.

“It’s none of our business.”

“Complete the mission and evacuate as soon as possible.”

The old man stopped talking, took two steps forward, and walked straight to the center of the bottom layer.

There, at the end of the four steel cable lines extending from the four artificial islands.

The anchor pier that fixes the head of all the equipment is a metal base in the shape of a mini inverted pyramid.

And there is a beam in the center of the anchor pier, firmly embedded like a pile.

Its diameter is less than one meter.

But it still bears millions of tons of load used to connect Itogami Island.

A semi-transparent stone pillar with a texture similar to obsidian—the cornerstone.

“The remains of a saint who served the ‘God’ of the Western European Church…”

Looking at the stone pillar called the cornerstone, the old man’s eyes showed some disdain.

In that semi-transparent stone, someone's “arm” was floating. A thin, mummy-like arm.

There were cruel scars on the wrist, as if from crucifixion. The remains of a martyr who suffered and died for his faith.

Those are the media through which the holiness of God manifests in the world, so they have become objects of people's faith.

It is said that the remains with powerful holiness will never decay and can also trigger various miracles.

And part of the saint's remains is sealed in the stone pillar.

“Spirit lines—that is, so-called dragon veins—are used to create artificial floating islands on the ocean they pass through, and to build new cities. This was a groundbreaking idea at the time.”

“Everyone believed that the spiritual power flowing from the dragon veins would bring vitality to the residents and guide the city to prosperity, but construction was difficult. Because the power of the dragon veins exposed to the ocean far exceeded people's predictions.”

“Itogami Senrou designed it beautifully. East, West, North, and South—the artificial island is divided into four blocks. He originally wanted to compare it to the four gods in feng shui, so as to control the dragon veins through the organic combination of the island blocks. However, even so, there was still an unresolved problem.”

“The strength of the cornerstone.”

“That’s right, so he chose to use part of the saint’s body as a human pillar.”

A stack of talismans appeared directly in the old man's hand.

The talismans were engraved with obscure patterns, containing considerable magic power.

“That’s why our work has become much simpler.”

“As long as we take this thing away.”

“The entire Itogami Island will collapse on its own.”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the talismans in his hand flew up like butterflies.

Each one was neatly arranged and pasted on the pillar that had been heavily sealed.

Then, the old man raised two fingers and placed them in front of his chest.

The huge spiritual power in his body escaped.

“Break!”

…

“The bottom layer of the cornerstone gate seems to be having problems. The monitoring inside has lost signal for half an hour.”

“Based on the current situation, it is estimated that there is a problem with the cornerstone of Itogami Island, the saint’s relic.”

“Moreover, a large amount of money has been transferred from the Yase family’s financial account.”

Lan Yu Asagi, who conducted an emergency search, directly reported the most likely answer to Yase Kenju and Nangong Nayue.

“That old guy.”

Nangong Nayue gritted her silver teeth.

She really ignored this old guy.

After all, no one would have thought that this old guy would abandon Itogami Island, which he had run for a lifetime.

The violent earthquake continued unabated.

Standing on the ground of Itogami Island, Nangong Nayue could clearly feel the shaking.

The plates of Itogami Island were torn apart.

“It’s probably too late to recover now.”

Using the equipment inside Leviathan, even inside Leviathan, Yase Kenju could see the situation outside.

Now the overall height of Itogami Island is sinking. Because of the division of each regional plate, the air is constantly pouring into the sea, and large and small vortices are constantly being generated around Itogami Island.

“It’s too late.”

“I’m going to catch those guys back now.”

Nangong Nayue was full of murderous intent.

Looking at her now, if she catches those criminals, she will definitely tear them into pieces without hesitation.

Itogami Island is her hometown, the place where she grew up, her favorite place.

She has guarded Itogami Island for more than ten years, solved countless crises that threatened Itogami Island, and has never made a mistake.

But it only happened this once.

Now that Itogami Island is about to disappear, she cannot accept it.

“Nayue-chan, it’s too late.”

“My display shows that the 『Cornerstone』was not taken away, it was directly destroyed.”

“Even if Nayue-chan you kill them, you can’t stop Itogami Island from sinking.”

Sitting in front of the computer, Lan Yu Asagi sighed softly, clenched her fists, closed her five fingers, and her face revealed confusion.

Now she doesn’t know what she can do anymore.

What exactly does she have to do to stop all this from happening.

“Why so desperate.”

Yase Kenju’s sudden voice directly pulled the two girls who were in a state of sadness back to reality.

“Although it’s a bit urgent, it’s not impossible to solve this problem.”

This sentence made the eyes of the two girls light up instantly.

“Can you solve it?”

Ignoring everything else, Nangong Nayue asked anxiously.

“I won’t ask anything else. If there is enough time, according to the current level of technology, how long will it take to build a replaceable foundation?”

As soon as Yase Kenju finished speaking, the sound of the keyboard on Lan Yu Asagi’s side was already crackling.

“One day.”

“It will take at least one day.”

“Resin can be used for protective filling first, so that there will be time to use other materials for reinforcement later.”

Yase Kenju turned his head and looked at Eguchi Yuto.

“Can you control Leviathan to entangle this base pillar?”

Leviathan is a full four thousand meters long.

Although Yase Kenju has always said that this guy is a big whale, in fact, in terms of size, he is more like a sea snake.

The base pillar of Itogami Island is not very thick. With Leviathan’s length, it would be no problem to wrap Itogami Island dozens of times.

Very constructive suggestion.

At least when Nangong Nayue heard this suggestion, her breathing became a little heavier.

“It can be done.”

Eguchi Yuto nodded first, but a look of embarrassment appeared directly on his face.

“The problem is that the cracking of Itogami Island is still continuing. If this continues, the huge tearing force will also act on Leviathan’s body.”

“If I suffer such great pain, I guess I won’t be able to control it.”

No matter what, she is just charming it.

It’s not really mentally controlling the creature Leviathan.

When there is strong external stimulation, it will definitely wake up.

“It’s okay, the scale is about the same now.”

“It won’t continue to spread.”

With both hands in his pockets on both sides of his clothes.

“You control Leviathan to go over now, Kisaki Kiryu and Yukina stay here.”

After instructing these people, Yase Kenju’s eyes fell on La Folia.

“How about it, are you interested in watching a spectacular scene with me?”

La Folia smiled slightly.

“Of course, it’s my honor.”

…

“Where is this?”

Standing in the gray mist, La Folia looked at the cracked walls around her, and the little girl with silver-gray hair sitting in the center, wearing an exquisite western dress.

“The cornerstone gate, the tenth floor underground.”

“Standing in front of you is the Dragon of the Swamp.”

“You should know this.”

Yase Kenju said to La Folia while walking towards Gulenda.

“So you still gained something from the Kamunahra Lake in Neon.”

La Folia suddenly realized.

“Your Aldegia’s intelligence network is also very powerful.”

“Then do you know what she represents?”

Yase Kenju’s hand was already on Gulenda’s head.

“I don’t know this.”

La Folia shook her head honestly.

“What she has is the inheritance of the Holy Lance.”
