"Next comes the most crucial step."
As Roland calmly admired the apocalyptic spectacle, a quiet voice sounded beside him.
Even Othinus, a fellow Demon God, had refrained from staying beside Roland, worried that her influence at close range might inadvertently distract him. Yet this voice had no such reservations.
Roland, however, showed no surprise, as though he had expected this all along.
"Only crucial, nothing more. As long as you don't slip up, this will be practically effortless."
