Last time it was a coincidence.
Was it still a coincidence this time?! Of course not.
It would be terrifying enough if something like this happened by chance once.
Let alone twice.
So this power was genuine.
Achieved by the power of an individual.
On the sea surface, the warships that were advancing were all frozen in place by the thick ice.
Unable to move forward.
Even the propellers at the stern were frozen.
The soldiers on these warships came to the side of the ship, looking at the suddenly frozen sea surface.
They had never encountered such a bizarre situation.
"Why is the seawater suddenly frozen?"
"It was fine just a second ago. What's going on?"
The soldiers clamored.
The captain walked out of the warship and onto the deck.
The wrinkles on the warship captain's face were all squeezed together as he looked at the vast expanse of white ice.
Even though the cold wind was constantly blowing on the ice surface and the temperature was very low, he still felt cold sweat pouring out of his back.
'This power, is this the target we're supposed to be dealing with this time?!'
The captain had a bad feeling.
This operation might have unexpected dangers.
But that feeling made even himself feel ridiculous.
They had so many troops on their side.
With firepower sufficient to easily destroy a country.
What could possibly threaten such a massive force?
Even if the ice surface was frozen, the weapons on the warships could still be used normally.
Missiles and artillery shells were all on standby.
Even if they stood still, any enemy that appeared could be killed instantly.
"Everyone, quiet down! There's nothing to be afraid of!"
The captain began to reassure the soldiers.
"Although we can't move forward, we're not in any danger. Have the naval guns aim at the ice surface in the distance."
As long as they shattered the ice surface, he believed that these warships would soon be able to break free.
As the order was transmitted, the naval guns on the warships fired continuously, bombarding the ice surface frantically.
Of course, it wasn't the ice surface around the warships, but the ice surface in the distance.
The ice surface around the warships could be shattered simply by shooting with machine guns or using small explosives.
But as the foremost warships fired, dust and smoke billowed on the ice surface in the distance.
The captain smiled. "See? Our weapons can solve all problems. This kind of thing can't stop us from continuing to advance."
At the same time, the airships in the sky were also dropping bombs downwards,
helping to bomb the ice surface even further away.
Flashes of fire constantly erupted.
On the snow-white ice surface, explosions occurred one after another.
The earth-shaking scene shocked the soldiers on the warships.
Such a barrage was a rare sight.
The scene of the bombs exploding almost simultaneously made even the Zodiacs, who were watching this scene, tremble in their hearts.
They were Nen users who could withstand ordinary hot weapon attacks, but something like this terrifying bombardment was impossible to withstand.
"It seems that just freezing the sea surface can't stop the army!"
Crazily said somewhat disappointedly.
The others glanced at him silently.
They seemed to be wondering when Crazily had started expecting Loki to be able to stop such a massive army.
That was an army carrying nuclear weapons!
Cheadle, who had climbed up from the ground, said somewhat worriedly, "It's best if he can't stop them. That way..."
Cheadle didn't have time to finish her words.
The smoke from the exploding shells was dissipating.
The ice surface! However, it hadn't cracked open as expected.
Instead, many craters had been blasted out at the locations where the shells had exploded.
Craters that were a dozen meters wide and six or seven meters deep, but they hadn't completely pierced through the ice surface. This situation stunned Cheadle.
'You're kidding me! How thick is the ice layer?'
'He froze the sea surface in an instant, and he was also able to make the ice layer so thick that artillery shells couldn't penetrate it.'
They had thought that freezing the sea in an instant was terrifying enough.
They hadn't expected that Loki would actually be able to make the ice layer so thick that even warship artillery couldn't penetrate it while freezing the sea.
Looking at the ice surface that had been through a baptism of fire, which was still solid and showed no signs of cracking, everyone who saw this scene was trembling madly inside.
The warship captains had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"Ice that's so hard that even naval guns can't..."
The soldiers didn't know what to say anymore.
First, it was as if they had suddenly traveled through time, and the azure sea surface had suddenly been frozen.
Then, when they bombarded it with artillery shells, they couldn't even break it.
Each of these warships of theirs was a behemoth.
But now, they were stuck in place, unable to move forward.
And the culprit for everything was just ice!
"Captain, what should we do now?"
The captain's deputy asked.
However, when the captain heard this question, a subtle change appeared on his face.
What should we do? How would I know what to do? We can't move here. What can I do? Someone tell me what the hell is going on with this damn ice!
There was no way. The soldiers below were all silently looking at him.
The captain could only quickly turn around and return to the warship, preparing to ask his superiors.
In the sky, the captain of the airship looked at the ice surface that had been bombarded below.
"Is our mission objective really just to destroy an island?"
The soldiers and officers in the army had begun to have doubts.
With such a bizarre phenomenon, their objective was probably not as simple as destroying an island.
From the moment they had stepped into this sea area, bizarre things had been constantly happening.
Now, they had finally found a way to enter this sea area, but they had encountered such a bizarre phenomenon again.
It seemed that the further they went, the more dangerous it would be.
All over the world, people who were watching this scene through various channels had also begun to discuss it.
The wealthy people who had been attracted by the clear reward "do the people we hired have this kind of power?"
The wealthy person's question was met with collective eye-rolling from the others.
This kind of power? Could they hire someone with this kind of power?! That was a joke!
"This is Greed Island, the game's way of responding to outside invaders."
"And this game was created by that Hunter Association Chairman. This power definitely comes from that... mysterious kid Chairman."
"He wants to confrontation the army?"
"That's the army! Can he do it? Although there's a guy on Greed Island who's stirring up trouble and wants to create a world of Nen users."
However, these people weren't worried about this problem at all.
They didn't care what the world would become.
They only cared about getting what they wanted.
Everything else didn't matter!
On the other side, the members of the Five Vows, who were in a meeting, all had tightly furrowed brows.
Staring at the thick, solid ice.
Bang! One of them slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Give me full firepower! I don't believe that the power of one person alone can stop the army!"
The others also had angry expressions on their faces.
They were obviously also very angry about the fact that this inexplicably appearing ice had frozen the army.
This was the Five Vows' army. And it had actually been stopped!
Although this was a secret operation and the outside world didn't know about it at all, the Five Vows were also aware that some countries, or special organizations, or perhaps a certain consortium, definitely knew about the news.
