The **GREMLIN invasion of Tokyo** occurred in late November. It was done to bog down the attempts of those who oppose GREMLIN like Academy City and the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance to stop them in creating Gungnir, through distributing what people stood to gain.

Initially, the invasion was a major success as GREMLIN's manipulations utterly paralyzed JSDF as well as its populace. Moreover, both Academy City and Anti-GREMLIN Alliance's response was delayed, and with the case of Academy City, exacerbated the effects of GREMLIN's manipulations. The invasion ended after Othinus, leader of GREMLIN, made Gungnir on her own and destroys the world.

However, after restoring the world back to normal for the sake of Kamijou Touma, he and Othinus later escape to Denmark, leading to the manhunt for them. Feeling betrayed, all of GREMLIN abort their missions to hunt her down, ending the invasion.

## Background

### GREMLIN preparations

After the countries around the world united to bring an end to the war, it had been enough of a forced that led to the defeat of Fiamma of the Right. Learning from Fiamma of the Right's mistakes, GREMLIN ensured that people will not unite in a common goal, and planned to distribute what people stood to gain. Allowing for them, an obvious enemy, to operate freely as those who might oppose them are weighed down by their manipulations. This small trick allows them to seal the miracle which occurred during World War III. Moreover, if GREMLIN destroyed the most dangerous elements of those scattered individuals one by one, only a group of those too weak to fight back would remain. This is for them to maintain a situation with little damage but where they can cause great damage and bloodshed at any moment.

With that, they parked the Sargasso, their base, in Tokyo Bay instead of directly attacking Academy City. This allows for them to put pressure on Japan, Academy City, and all the nations who are against her. As they are trying to manipulate what people stood to gain, it not only affects their government but on the individual level as well. They also destroyed a few choice roads to paralyze the city's transportation network. Their manipulations also extend the reach to the world as a whole, through the use of manipulating strangers to post things on the Internet to continue the distribution of what people want to gain from the situation GREMLIN is creating. Moreover, it is implied that it is they the ones that crippled the communications network in Tokyo.

With that done, she, Bersi, Marian Slingeneyer, and Mjölnir stay on Sargasso to complete the construction of Gungnir. Thor is ordered on the island as well, as they will become vulnerable when the lance is in the production phase he is ordered to destroy anyone to get near, and is allowed to borrow Freyja and her Mokkerkalfe for his use. Othinus, however, does not know that the Thor before her is Ollerus, and that Fiamma of the Right has also infiltrated the Sargasso, waiting for the moment they can strike.

Moreover, though they have prepared to counter opponents with actual members, such as Jörmungandr, the invasion will be headed by Freyja's creatures, Níðhöggr and Hræsvelgr, using them to intimidate them though not to the point of panic, for the sake distributing what people stood to gain. Furthermore, for people who are not "stalled" by GREMLIN's manipulations, they have set-up a trap spell for them all over the city, automatically detecting those who are not "stalled" and attacks them through the use of the Muspell.
