Chapter 899: Challenging the Bronze Guardian

After Tifa packed up some tools and equipment in the workshop, she took Dachun out.

There were so many people around and Dachun didn't ask any questions along the way in order to keep the operation secret.

Dachun could actually guess that the temple could be reached from five different locations outside the Five Cities, which were thousands of miles apart. So when he went out, he could also reach the Five Cities. That meant that as long as he transferred through the temple, he would not need to pay the round-trip teleportation fee of 1.

However, according to Tifa, she's just a newcomer, a transient. Can she really come and go as she pleases? How can the temple's secrecy be guaranteed?

Lost in thought, Tifa led Dachun to an open space in a corner of the city, where several seemingly powerful black-robed mages were reading books.

Tifa said to Da Chun, "You're a high-ranking citizen, so just tell me you're taking me out to Bronze City for a mission."

Forehead?
Okay, Da Chun stepped forward: "I am Raven, and I will take an assistant to the Bronze City mission."

The black-robed figures looked up, and Da Chun suddenly realized that two of them were also wearing masks similar to his own. Were they also mechanical? Mechanical liches?

The machine said, "Raven certification successful, you can take it with you."

Ah! It's that simple?
Da Chun then led Tifa into the small square. In the blink of an eye, the scene blurred, and they suddenly found themselves in an abandoned open-pit mine filled with slag.

Tifa smiled and said, "We've arrived. This is the outskirts of Bronze."

Da Chun understood: "So, only a high-ranking citizen like me can take the newlyweds out?"

Tifa sighed, "Yes, when we came in, they didn't ask us anything. It was as natural as returning to our own city. But to leave, we need to get a mission to leave, but newcomers can't get any missions to leave. They can only accumulate experience in the city first. But I heard that as long as there are high-ranking citizens around, you can take people out. And you, you're probably more than high-ranking, right?"

Well... after all, Master Crow has decades of experience.

Da Chun suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment, like he was driving a luxury car with a girl: "I inherited the fortune."

Tifa exclaimed in surprise, "I see! But I just find the management of this temple hard to understand; it basically relies on the self-discipline of the citizens."

After all, this is the realm of creation rules. Da Chun has always felt that this was a bug that the developers were too busy to fix back then.

Tifa added, "Let's go into town and find Black Cat. Let Black Cat make the trip."

Tom? Okay.

Da Chun was a little worried: "Will she disturb the guardian spirit when she comes out?"

Tifa sighed, "At that time, we'll have no choice but to fight the Guardian! I believe that if we join forces with her, breaking through won't be a problem."

Da Chun was shocked: "Are you sure you can break through by joining forces?"

Tifa laughed and said, "Don't underestimate me. Not to mention the progress I made yesterday in the Void by gaining system insights, the bombs that the Bronze Sage planted at the Tomb of the Gods to prevent the evil god were all remote-controlled bombs that I designed. When the time comes, it will be unclear who will be hit."

Holy crap, a remote-controlled bomb?!
Da Chun immediately recalled the video of Moore that Zhou Qing had sent him. At that time, Moore had informed Bone Dragon that there were many bombs outside and asked if he wanted help defusing them, but Bone Dragon said it wasn't necessary. So, that's why it wasn't necessary!

Da Chun was relieved: "Alright, I trust your judgment."

Tifa sighed, "Actually, you didn't have to fight."

Da Chun panicked: "Don't underestimate me, I'm number one in the world!"

Although the divine essence wasn't brought out, all the divine skills that should be present were still there.

Tifa said, "The main thing is that I want her to see that we're fighting together, so that she'll be willing to help."

That's true. A mother-in-law has to see her daughter and son-in-law fight the enemy together. Otherwise, what kind of thing would it be if her son-in-law chickened out and ran away?

Then Da Chun remembered something: "Would people find it strange if I went into the city like this?"

Tifa laughed: "In Bronze City, what's strange, and what's not strange?"

Indeed, Bronze City is full of biker gangs, cyberpunk youths, and all sorts of oddballs. Tifa is also the most avant-garde of the five city beauties. If it weren't for the need to avoid looking too out of place standing next to the other four, she could be even more avant-garde.

"I'll teleport you in."

As they spoke, Tifara led Da Chun directly to the vicinity of the outer city, and then slowly entered the city.

Everything is fine and there are no abnormalities.

Then Tifa went to the vicinity of the mansion and tried clapping her hands.

A moment later, a meow came from the wall!
Da Chun looked up, but couldn't see him clearly because of the blurry vision. Anyway, it was Tom. It felt like ages since they last saw each other.

Tifa made a series of symbols with her hands, and the black cat actually understood them: "Meow!"

Then, with a flash of light, it disappeared.

Tifa said, "Let's go too."

"it is good."

As for where to go, Da Chun didn't ask; it must have been a very professional arrangement.

Then, the two arrived at a rather inconspicuous street.

Tifa said, "Let's just wait here for the war to begin."

"understood."

Da Chun noticed an information board nearby: "Shall we go look at the information? That way it won't seem so suspicious."

"it is good."

Then I checked the news section and there it was: Tifa had been kidnapped by the Pirate King. Uh… how many days has it been? The latest news should be the Mermaid's prayers in the five cities, a great victory over the Demon God. Is the Bronze Church deliberately downplaying this because of their exclusion?

Tifa suppressed a laugh and asked, "What would happen if the city's beauty were kidnapped by the Pirate King?"

"This one……"

Da Chun didn't want to answer.

Tifa then asked with a laugh, "If you were a pirate and you kidnapped the city's most beautiful girl, what would you do?"

Well, that's the question...

Da Chunhan said, "Pirates are not all the same. I will serve them the best wine and food."

Tifa laughed and said, "What happens after you're full?"

Da Chun remained silent: "Let's wait for the ransom..."

Tifa said irritably, "You're showing no respect for the city's beauties at all."

Da Chun was taken aback: "How is this disrespectful?"

Tifa made an OK sign with one hand and poked her finger into the 0 with the other: "Of course—um—um—um!!"

Da Chun was stunned. This was too... honestly, it was an eyesore, especially since she had transformed into a man's appearance. But—

Da Chun changed the subject: "If you were in your current state and caught the city beauty, what could you do?"

Tifa got excited: "If I catch Fafnir, I'll tie her limbs up and spread her legs, and then I—um—um—"

Da Chun laughed: "Do you even have that kind of form?"

Tifa chuckled: "I'll take it out and show you—"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tifa lifted her black robe, revealing a spinning, electric-like object inside!
Damn it! !

Da Chun felt like his eyes were about to be blinded by the burning sensation, so is Tifa essentially a psychopath?

Just then, Da Chun suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly!
Tifa instantly became serious: "Ready—"

...The throne room of the Bronze Church.

Metatron sat high on his divine throne, but once the initial novelty wore off, he immediately felt that it was no different from being in prison, no, no different from being dead.

I want to go for a walk, but I'm afraid of being exposed. There's nothing more boring than this, so this is what it feels like to be a guardian angel?
Now all we can do is watch their live streams.

The boss's livestream was just a blurry "Cheers," not worth watching. Uriel was still practicing his toilet-flushing skills, not worth watching either. Sariel and Raphael were sailing, the endless sea only adding to their boredom.

All we can do is watch Sila and the four noble ladies of the Black Dragon Lord strolling and chatting—to be honest, they're even more boring than Uriel, who'd rather be watching him poke the toilet; at least that's stress-relieving.

But Gabriel was really enjoying it, as if he were shopping with the exhibitors, and even gave them a bad suggestion: "Sira, after we finish this exhibit, let's go to the creepy botanical garden next door, it's fun there."

Metatron couldn't take it anymore: "How about we go see that village beauty from the slums? Sila, you're going to replace the chairman, you'll control Southern Canyon Village sooner or later, go and get to know her first."

Sila suddenly realized: "That's right!"

Gabriel said irritably, "No, White is one of my men, Sila, don't even think about poaching him, okay?"

Sila was even more delighted: "I'll go test her loyalty."

Gabriel snapped, "You're such a bitch!"

So, after leaving the exhibition hall, Sila said, "Ladies, it's not interesting to just look at the city's prosperity. How about we take a look at the slums?"

Everyone was in high spirits and had no objections: "Great!"

So they arrived at the slums, where various thugs and poor people cast complex glances at them with a mixture of suspicion, fear, and greed. But even the most eager thugs, ready to block the road and cause trouble, were intimidated and forced back by the nun's tangible and visible aura as soon as they took a step.

Sila laughed heartily: "As expected of the Black Dragon Lord, mortals are like ants in front of her."

Metatron sighed, "He must have suppressed his strength to the level of the Raven Master, otherwise he would have alarmed the Guardian."

Xila laughed and said, "As expected of Xiaomei, you've become familiar with the Guardian's duties so quickly."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived at White's clinic.

Outside the clinic, there was still a long line of people waiting to collect their medicine.

Sila laughed and said, "This is quite similar to the old lady's astrology shop."

Under the aura of the Black Dragon Lord, the poor people in line quickly made way, saying, "Please go first, sir!"

Sila laughed and said, "We heard this clinic is famous, so we came to take a look. Sorry to bother you."

The poor people said, "It's our good fortune to have a reputation. We beg you gentlemen to raise funds for the clinic!"

The fourth young lady laughed immediately: "Fundraising?"

At this moment, White hurriedly went out to greet them: "Welcome everyone—"

The Black Dragon Lord immediately noticed the room full of mermaid posters: "What's this?"

White said, "This is a token of gratitude from the Oak Sage, the Silver Sage, and His Holiness Helen, who came to provide financial assistance."

The Black Dragon Lord then asked, "But I just heard from outside that the patients inside have to pray to the guardian deity before they can get their medicine?"

White Khan said, "Yes, first we thank the guardian spirit of oak."

The Black Dragon Lord looked around: "This house is quite nice."

Sila was puzzled: "This is a century-old house in the slums?"

The Black Dragon Lord did not answer, his eyes shining as he stared at the statue of the Oak Guardian.

Sila and Gabriel were both puzzled: "What is she looking at?"

White suddenly awkwardly blocked the statue and asked, "Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

Sila laughed and said, "I am a wandering nun from the Empire, currently serving as an elder in the Broken Bottle Merchant Guild in Black Iron City. I also pass through Southern Canyon Village from time to time."

White was astonished: "Broken Bottle Guild? I'm from Southern Canyon Village."

Xila smiled and said, "I know, that's why I came here specifically to see you."

White then asked, "And this is—"

Sila said, "My mentor—"

Then he was stunned. Xila didn't know what alias the Black Dragon Lord was using when he came here.

The Black Dragon Lord said, "The current bishop of the Twilight Sisters Church is Artistuta!"

Uriel burst out laughing: "Does this church even exist? She's actually using her original name!"

Gabriel laughed and said, "Isn't this even better? I just said I'd find an opportunity to have the mentor establish a church on the spot, which would also give this fake nun, Sila, a proper title. Now the church is here, isn't it?"

White was also bewildered and quickly bowed, saying, "Ah, greetings, Bishop."

The Black Dragon Lord said, "The poor people outside just said that the clinic needs donations?"

White was both apprehensive and somewhat expectant: "Yes, because the clinic provides free treatment and medicine to the poor..."

The Black Dragon Lord said, "Fine, I'll donate 100 million mining coins, but on the condition that you also enshrine a statue of my Twilight Cult here. Anyway, you already have mermaids and guardian deities here, so one more won't make a difference, right?"

The elders were all astonished: "How much does she think this place is?"

White became even more alarmed: "The mermaid has to be in poster form, it has to be something less formal."

The Black Dragon Lord chuckled, "So, you mean I should also create something for entertainment?"

White Khan said, "Yes, otherwise..."

The Black Dragon Lord laughed and said, "Understood!"

After saying that, she took out a ball of gemstone, and then began to rub it between her hands to generate fire. The gemstone was enveloped in a blurry, high-pressure flame aura and began to melt and expand, making the whole room shine with the light of melting!
Hand rubbed gems! !
This display of strength not only shocked the bigwigs, but also completely shocked Miss White and the crowd of poor people watching from inside and outside the house!
Finally, the light faded, revealing a sexy swimsuit-clad statue that looked exactly like the real woman—no, it was clearly a figurine!
Her name was even engraved on the swimsuit!
The Black Dragon Lord chuckled and asked, "This isn't a formal arrangement. Just place it next to the guardian statue, so everyone can see it at a glance, is that alright?"

White stared in disbelief: "Y-yes, that's possible!"

The Black Dragon Lord tossed out a box: "Sorry, the homeless nun doesn't have a bank card, so she's donating cash! If any thieves dare to steal it, just say my name, and this statue of mine will fly up and protect her!"

Outside the door, a group of poor people shouted, "Sister, with our protection, we will definitely not let anyone rob us!"

The Black Dragon Lord was very satisfied: "Very good, then I won't bother you any longer, you can continue with your work."

……

At this point, the Ten Elders were both shocked and bewildered!

Although Sila couldn't understand it, she felt that it was a major undertaking.

Just then, Metatron suddenly heard the church bells ringing an alarm—the Guardian Armor warned: Warning! You have detected an evil god about to appear. Immediately activate the interdimensional teleportation spell and prepare for battle!

Metatron was stunned: "This evil god, did he appear immediately as soon as he realized the guardian was absent?"

A brand new map interface appeared before them. The underground location where the evil god appeared was marked on the map. At the same time, two humanoid figures on the surface were also locked.

Who are these two people?

Without a second thought, the divine armor automatically activated its divine magic, and the scene changed in the next moment!
The city instantly faded into the background, and Metatron, clad in dazzling gold, appeared in the sky above a blurred space.

In that instant, the ground exploded with a deafening roar! It was as if a mine had been blown up...
