Myth Returns

"..."

It has to be admitted.

Nico Olvia was somewhat taken aback.

Can you cleave the ocean in front of you?

Are you sure you're not kidding?

As a scholar, Nico Olvia could be described literally as being completely powerless.

In her very simple worldview, she didn't have a clear concept of the strongest person in the world.

This is only natural.

In fact, this is true for most ordinary people.

Although transmitting information is not particularly difficult in the Pirate World, class barriers still exist in reality.

The world inhabited by the strongest beings is a completely different world from that of ordinary people.

It's perfectly understandable that Nico Olvia has no idea.

"Well... it's a pretty simple thing."

Then, under Nico Olvia's utterly shocked gaze, Lin Yan simply smiled and said this.

"..."

Faced with Lin Yan's confidence, Nico Olvia was unusually silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"If you can do it, let me see."

"Of course, no problem!"

Lin Yan readily agreed without hesitation, then turned to the woman and smiled.

"You should move a little further away."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Nico Olvia nodded, obediently turned around and walked a considerable distance away, then blinked her beautiful eyes as she looked at Lin Yan in the distance.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Lin Yan took a deep breath. In order to demonstrate her strength in front of Nico Olvia, and as the basis for their cooperation, Lin Yan did not intend to hold back this time.

Isn't it just about splitting open the ocean?

Minor issue!

"Susanoo--!"

With a soft shout from Lin Yan, the colossal azure giant rose from the ground, easily surpassing several hundred meters in height before Nico Olvia's utterly astonished eyes.

Like a god.

It is the complete Susanoo!

A power that is virtually unmatched in this world!

"?!"

Nico Olvia stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, as if she had seen a ghost. She had never witnessed anything like it before.

No, I've never even dreamed about it!

How could anyone possibly possess such power?!

Nico Olvia was completely stunned.

Then she saw the giant, who seemed to reach straight into the sky, swing his long sword and slash it heavily down onto the sea.

Boom------!

Immediately following was an unbelievably loud roar.

The sea was truly cleaved in two...

Seeing the sea surface cleanly split in two, revealing the seabed underneath, and with no sign of healing anytime soon, Nico Olvia stood frozen in place.

Then, after a long period of stagnation.

What followed was ecstasy!

If it's this kind of power...

Ohara, there really is hope!

Nico Olvia cheered inwardly. If it was such a mythical power, could the scholars of Ohara also be preserved?

At that moment, Nico Olvia was completely relieved.

If such a power truly exists to protect me, then I wouldn't need to leave my homeland...

On the other side.

Lin Yan was also quite satisfied with the result she had created.

Although it seems like a waste of power and doesn't have much effect on top-tier experts, it's still impressive enough to look at.

But fooling Nico Olvia should be enough.

Thinking this, Lin Yan dispelled the Susanoo on her body, then walked back to Nico Olvia with a smile.

"I'm snapping out of it."

Smiling, Lin Yan waved to the woman and began to speak.

"Now you should believe I have such power, right? What's the deal?"

"I agree."

Nico Olvia nodded without hesitation.

Perhaps as a former scholar, she would have refused the deal, but after realizing the dangers of research for Ohara, especially after witnessing many perils, she changed her mind.

Nico Olvia's thoughts are also gradually changing.

If it could protect the lives of everyone in Ohara...

Nico Olvia would not hesitate to undertake the task of translating research materials!

"Okay, then it's a deal."

Seeing the determined expression on Nico Olvia's face, Lin Yan smiled with satisfaction. After all, this woman was quite sensible.

Lin Yan likes intelligent women.

So, there's not much to say about what happened after that.

Relieved, Nico Olvia smiled more broadly and quickly took Lin Yan back to her home.

"In short, just stay here for the time being. This is my house, and generally no one will bother you."

Nico Olvia said to Lin Yan.

After all, no matter what, the man in front of him was a complete outsider.

If possible, Nico Olvia would still like to keep it hidden.

Lin Yan naturally had no objection to this.

"Don't worry, I'm not picky."

Lin Yan smiled at Nico Olvia in front of her and spoke casually.

Seeing this, Nico Olvia smiled in relief.

She had previously worried that someone of such high caliber might be quite picky about their lifestyle, so this is for the best.

It was only then that Nico Olvia began to carefully examine Lin Yan's appearance.

It must be said, it is still highly suspicious.

The man was completely shrouded in a black cloak, making it impossible to see his features or even his figure.

It seemed to be shrouded in something strange.

Even among the many people Nico Olvia had met, Lin Yan's style was quite unique.

However, Nico Olvia didn't seem inclined to ask any further questions.

She wasn't a particularly curious little girl.

In this cruel world, everyone has a past that is difficult to talk about, which is perfectly normal.

The man before me is dressed so suspiciously, concealing his appearance from everyone; there must be some special reason for this...

Nico Olvia thought to herself.

Then he quickly shook his head, chuckling to himself.

For now, the two are merely in a cooperative business relationship; who the other person is doesn't seem to be her concern.

With that in mind, Nico Olvia stopped caring.

"Then... you wait here for a moment, I'll go get Robin."
