The greatsword can sweep, block, and spin, while the molten gunblade can be used to close in on the target and fire, compensating for the short-barreled accelerator's inability to provide sufficient range.

"Buzz!" Frost Leaf unfolded the weapon in his hand, the Frost Spear blade spinning half a turn before piercing into the mud of the dock. "Not bad, the salt spray at sea hasn't corroded it too much."

Her weapon is quite special because it uses Originium Arts, which is the same as Yelena's. Of course, her power is definitely not as strong as the latter's. Therefore, her weapon does not need to be equipped with a wet parts system, but only with an auxiliary enhancement system.

This new double-edged axe, crafted from durable steel, can fire an ultra-low temperature atomizer from its center to freeze enemies, then smash them to pieces with its heavy axe. Even in Terra, where all sorts of strange and unusual equipment abound, this is one of the more peculiar weapons.

Other operators also took out equipment from their weapon cases, and soon a capable Rhodes Island field team appeared on the scene. Blaze did not come with them. Her weapons were not suitable for use in Iberia, mainly because the corrosion from the salt fog made the internal mechanisms and chains of her weapons somewhat fragile. She was currently on shore maintaining them and assisting the Punishers in dealing with the scattered cultists.

She was indeed adept at this kind of work, targeting unprotected soft targets and deterring rioters of civilian origin. After all, the swords and guns of the Punishment Army were unlikely to instill enough fear in ordinary people, but the moment her chainsaw was pulled, not to mention enemies, even her own people would feel the urge to pull her back—"Master Huang, Master Huang, stop, stop, don't be impulsive!"

"Your equipment...not bad, was it invented by that doctor?"

“No, some of them were improved by Agor technicians,” Kal'tsit said. Originally, Gladys didn’t want to improve or design weapons for Rhodes Island. It wasn’t that she was arrogant, but logically speaking, without materials and equipment, she couldn’t just hand-forge Agor technical alloy with a hammer, could she? That was unrealistic.

However, with Old Xia's furnace and Master Nian's forge in place, Gladys can no longer find a reason to refuse. Therefore, the weapons and equipment of Rhodes Island operators have now been improved based on the training equipment of the Deepsea Hunters.

Furthermore, a protective gear system has been added. Deepsea Hunters almost never wear armor because their tactical requirement is to avoid being hit and bleeding by enemies. Lightweight clothing is more important than armor. However, this is not the case for Rhodes Island's operators. Therefore, a protective gear system must be added for them.

"Well then, this time, I have a little more confidence in reclaiming the Eye of Iberia. Here they come." Perhaps sensing the sound of the ship's engines, some dark blue monsters appeared on the reef with a disgusting hiss.

“The scene is much smaller than before,” the Grand Inquisitor said, drawing his weapon. “Perhaps the god of the Sea Heir is truly dead.” The mindless Terrorfish climbed the reefs, unable to see the figures of the Netherworld Callers and Messengers.

"Hmm, firepower coverage, burn all these Netherworld Marks to ashes!" M3 roared as it charged toward the Sea Si, tearing their flesh apart and burning their traces. The small group of Sea Si didn't even last a minute before the battle was over.

"Is this your pet? It's quite unique."

Do you want to raise it?

“No, thank you,” the Grand Inquisitor adjusted his hat and was the first to walk towards the lighthouse door. The metal door, which hadn't been opened for a long time, slowly opened, revealing a rotating passageway behind it. “And then? Light the lighthouse upwards to send a signal?”

“Down,” Kal'tsit looked up at the lighthouse. “Turn on the power, then we’ll go down.”

"There's a generator down there. Are you sure you want to go down?" Of course there is space under the lighthouse, but that's where the generator is located.

“Yes, down.” Kal’tsit was the first to go down the stairs. The operator who went upstairs to turn on the power switch completed the mission without any dramatic incidents. After all, the firepower this time was quite strong, and there was also the Inquisitor in the team.

Although the judge led the team into the lighthouse last time and they were all wiped out, this time it was different. At least, breaking through the reef area last time was not so easy.

Of course, good weather was also an important part of the plan's success; the clear sky made the Sea Kings' disguises and sneak attacks less... deadly.

In the lighthouse's basement, "There are only generators and a pile of scrap metal here." The judge crossed his arms, looking around at the generators and the slightly leaking walls. "Are you sure the road is here?"

“Of course,” Kal'tsit looked up at the bronze carvings on the wall, as well as the decorative vaults and murals in the Iberian style. “M3, smash it!” The black monster charged at the wall, and the solid stone was smashed open in just a few seconds. Amidst the billowing dust, a new room was revealed behind the wall, with a huge spherical device hanging inside.

"Extreme Realm, check this thing. Is it still usable?"

"I'll give it a try. I should be able to. I hope this ancient relic, which is at least a hundred years old, will give me some face." Jijing scratched his head, picked up his tool bag, and climbed up the iron chain.

"I never knew there was such a hidden room under the lighthouse."

“A little bit of math knowledge, do the Iberian judges no longer need to study?” Kal’tsit said with a sidelong glance. “Then I’m starting to doubt your professional competence. You can’t even detect such a simple trick. I can’t imagine how you arrest cultists.”

“Of course, it is through loyalty, courage, and faith that the sacred flame of Iberia will guide our way,” Elene said, in the standard official tone of the Iberian Tribunal.

"Young lady, here's a piece of advice: give up the supreme art from now on. That sword technique isn't suitable for you."

"What was the shape of the lighthouse when we came down?" Kal'tsit asked, as the Extremis were currently inspecting the equipment.

"Circle"

"So what is the shape of this room? Those machines and generators have greatly confused you."

"Forehead......"

"The wall behind the generator is slightly leaking, and the brick structure and material are exactly the same as the outer wall of the lighthouse. However, the wall directly in front of us is normal. So, assuming that the above-ground and underground parts were built at the same time and are both cylindrical, then one side of this room is flat..."

This involves a basic mathematical geometry concept: a square inscribed in a circle implies that there is an arc-shaped room on all four sides. Furthermore, the presence of generators and various mechanical components on the other three sides might lead an entrant to instinctively perceive it as a normal cubic room. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that the wall behind the generator and the generator's structure together form an arc.

"Iberian supreme art is a swordsmanship executed with precise geometric and mathematical calculations. You'd better give it up in the future."

"...The doctor is right. You should focus your energy on shooting skills as much as possible in the future." The Grand Inquisitor patted Elena on the shoulder, although he had also been affected by the interference with his senses and had not noticed the problem at first.

"The inspection is over. It's still usable, but it's best not to use it too much." Extreme wiped the oil off her hands. "It's been stored fairly well. Agor's technology is still as reliable as ever."

"So we're going to go inside this device and then get to Agor?" The judge examined the spherical object. "Is it some kind of teleportation device?"

"How could there be such a thing? Let's go." The interior of the sphere was spacious, with two rings of seats large enough for everyone. Once almost everyone was inside, Extreme activated the control lever. "I won't go down with you. I'll provide communication relay here."

Are you confident you'll survive until we get back?

“I’ll try my best,” Jijing tapped her staff and the weapon pouch on her waist, “and there shouldn’t be any Haizi coming here.” The lighthouse door had been locked again, and there were indeed no traces of Haizi’s activity in the underground area.

"Crack crack crack~" The ground, which was originally thought to be just for decoration and was engraved with circular geometric patterns, cracked open. The metal contracted to both sides, and the surging seawater piled up a circle of white foam at the edge.

"Splash!" The sphere fell into the sea and sank down a long tunnel. Looking out the porthole, there was nothing but dilapidated lights that were mostly out.

After falling for nearly half an hour, the sphere seemed to be launched out of an opening, and then some dazzling light appeared in the dark seawater. The city built on the edge of the abyss crevasse looked out at the distant lighthouse from the underwater cliff.

Welcome to Agor.

"So, these guys have been underwater around us all along?"

"Didn't you already know that?"

"I initially thought they just came by underwater, but is this Haisi's lair?"

“Yes, not anymore.” The nearest urban area was bathed in brilliant light, and the sphere was approaching the city’s entrance. As it drew closer, the judges could clearly see the traces of the Netherworld on the dome, the floodwaters throughout the city, the dilapidated shopping streets, the collapsed connecting pipes, and the wandering marine structures.

"The hunters are a bit faster than us; they've already captured the landing point."

"And then we have to subdue such a large city? With only this many people?"

"It's not about subduing it, it's about destroying it, finding Agor's deep-sea submersible, and knowing that the lair of the Sea King lies beneath the abyss."

The young judge, under the command of "May the Holy Fire Bless You," gripped the lantern tightly, looking extremely tense.

With a clang, the mechanical arm slowly moved, pulling the spherical submersible into the dock. Two hunters were cleaning up Hai Si's corpse on the pier, skillfully sprinkling some kind of chemical agent on it, turning the corpse into flowing blood and rising smoke.

"Alright, we've arrived." The place was dark and damp, with puddles reflecting the city's still-glowing neon lights, creating an indescribable atmosphere.

"The city of Agor is just outside the gate, and this time there will be no guards to stop us from visiting."

"But there's a group of very unfriendly security guards." Frostleaf spun his axe-spear, while Thorn, clutching the silver ornament at his chest, deflected a flying knife hurtling straight at his face with a single sword strike.

"Bang!" Rosemary fired faster than Elene, or rather, her reaction was faster. With just a thought, a gun blade used a scorching ray to turn the charging Agor infected into burning corpses.

"These Agors are all victims created by the Church of the Deep Sea. They have lost the rationality of normal people. Perhaps when the Sea God was still alive, they could still think to some extent, but now, all they have in their minds is the idea of ​​sacrificing their flesh and blood to return to the Great Horde and the Abyss. You'd better not treat them as normal people."

"You are......"

"Deep Sea Hunter Squad Leader, you can call me... wait, they're here again!" Gunfire and the sound of swords rang out from inside and outside the temporary position set up by the hunters.

“I always thought that Agor was like Skadi, a staunch enthusiast of cold weapons.”

"Only hunters do this." Firing underwater is indeed difficult. The bullets cannot travel too fast, otherwise they will shatter. And low-speed, low-mass bullets have very little killing power against Hai Si. Since it is difficult to increase speed underwater, the only option is to increase the mass of the weapon, that is, to use a melee weapon to smash.

However, the Agor followers and mergers in the city had no such scruples, playing with all sorts of firearms with abandon, as if they had suddenly gone from the seabed to the streets of the Kazimierz battlefield.

Molotov cocktails, improvised bombs, and various homemade weapons, including crossbows and other odds and ends. The Agors lack Originium Arts, but they compensate with similar abilities and superior technology.

Deep-sea hunters struggled against this attack. Their light equipment was no match for firearms, and their agility, which they prided themselves on, performed admirably against the high-speed, dense barrage of projectiles.

Fortunately, Rhodes Island's reinforcements arrived quickly. Rosemary raised her right hand, and her door-like, hiltless greatsword smashed into a small group of cultists at supersonic speed. Blue blood splattered everywhere, indicating that they were no longer human.

Rosemary closed her eyes, relying on her invisible body and hands to perceive the world, rather than her eyes. Her greatsword flew down, smashing, piercing, and tearing apart the hideouts of the cultists.

Perhaps noticing the cat with the gray-blue hair's attack power, a number of ranged attacks were immediately unleashed in her direction. "Clang!" The crossbow bolts were blocked, and the projectiles bounced on the sturdy greatsword. "Did you underestimate Iberia a bit?" The Grand Inquisitor stood in front of Rosemary, holding a sword in one hand and a lantern in the other, while the greatsword, which was slightly slower, blocked the other side.

"Annihilation Mode, Activate!" The greatsword opened to the sides like a box, revealing a row of slender metal spikes inside. Under Rosemary's control, an invisible arm grabbed these spikes and threw them at the enemy.

The sturdy metal spikes swiftly pierce through enemies; this feature was specially added to compensate for her slow attack speed in this mode, making it difficult to deal with a large number of scattered enemies.

The throwing spikes were continuously thrown out until all the spikes hidden inside the greatsword were exhausted. Then, guided by rosemary, the spikes were pulled out of the corpses and returned to the greatsword, reverting to greatsword mode to strike targets that were not hit or damaged by this attack.

In "remote mode," the two gunblades flew out as the greatsword retracted for defense, piercing through a massive fusion entity. The point-blank firing of the molten cannon gave it a huge rude awakening; even Hai Si couldn't instantly heal the face-sized hole.

"Battle over," Rosemary said, reaching out. Her greatsword and spear flew back behind her, floating around her. Her battles had accumulated a lot of fatigue.

“Well done.” Kal’tsit glanced at the battlefield. The cultists had left behind a field of corpses. No one had escaped or retreated. It seemed that their minds had been completely destroyed.

"A very unique combat technique."

"Thank you," the polite kitten said, bowing slightly while holding the notebook.

"What a polite child." The Grand Inquisitor paused for a moment. Inquisitors were never well-liked. Although they protected the people of Iberia, no one thanked them, much less wanted to see them. In private, they were also known as "Black Ravens."

Not only because of the judges' distinctive black and white attire and black cloak, but also because, like crows, their appearance is inevitably accompanied by judgment, execution, and death. Who would like such a symbol of death?

“However, she can’t do anything now. We need her abilities to scout. Does anyone here like being pounced on by cultists?” Obviously not.

"The hunters will guard your retreat if you manage to come back alive."

"Yes, I've never died before." Kal'tsit told a strange, lame joke that felt like something was off, yet somehow it didn't.
