You think you're worthy of saving the world?

With a serious and earnest expression, Chaika reiterated, "Yuri and I will protect little Emily and will not let her become a living sacrifice for the festival."

Mrs. Emil... if you truly love little Emily, please lend us a hand!

"The dragon on Dragon God Island is not a god at all; it's just a bloodthirsty beast! There must be a way to defeat it!"

Emil remained unfazed: "Nonsense. I have already said that the Dragon God is an invincible and great deity."

If we disobey and anger the Dragon God, not only will we be doomed... but the entire world will perish with us—the end of the world will descend upon this planet.

If you're okay with this, then come with me.

After saying this, Mrs. Emil turned her back and walked away.

"..."

Yuri and Chaika exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

And so, following Mrs. Emil, they arrived at another empty house in the village.

"Madam Emil, about the Dragon God..."

Just as Jaika was about to speak, Mrs. Emil interrupted her: "That expression means she doesn't believe what I just said, does it?"

You're thinking that they're just gods dwelling on some nameless island, how could they possibly have the power to destroy the world, right?

This is by no means an exaggeration; the Dragon God truly possesses power that is beyond our human comprehension.

Yuri noticed that she no longer addressed her as "Lord Dragon God".

Like Chaika, she probably lost faith in the Dragon God because of Emily's situation.

She has seen many young girls become sacrifices in rituals.

I never intended to save them; I just felt it was a necessary procedure for the island to function properly.

It wasn't until tragedy befell her own daughter that she suddenly realized her mistake, began to feel fear and hatred, and became unable to tolerate the existence of the "Crimson Festival."

However, Chaika did not intend to blame her.

If it weren't for her close relationship with Emily, she certainly wouldn't be so angry right now... Chaika thought to herself.

According to the village records, 800 years ago, another black dragon descended on the island.

It attacked the village in order to build its nest on the island, and it was the Dragon God who appeared and protected the island at that time...

The Dragon God killed the pitch-black alien dragon with a single strike.

"Killed the black dragon in one strike!?" Chaika exclaimed in surprise.

The world of "Perfect World" differs from that of D&D, and the Black Dragon is the strongest among all dragon species.

Within this world of dragons, the power hierarchy is roughly: black = red > other colorful entities.

A dragon species capable of killing a black dragon in one blow... Could the dragon god on the island be a mythical red or black dragon?

"In other words, eight hundred years ago, ordinary people other than the 'Dragon Priestess' could also see the Dragon God."

Yuri's focus was very precise.

Mrs. Emil paused for a moment, then nodded: "That seems to be true."

"What does the Dragon God look like...?" he asked again.

It seems to have some connection with that old woman Yan Hong, so it should be the Red Dragon?

Mrs. Emil shook her head: "That was a thousand years ago. The village records don't describe the dragon god's appearance or color, except for one thing..."

I remember the records mentioning that the Dragon God's body was enormous, even compared to a dragon...

Its body, a mixture of gray and bluish-white, and its massive size evokes images of mountains...

That's why they're called Dragon Gods; even compared to dragons, Dragon Gods are like deities.

How could such a thing be possible...?

Jia Yika muttered to herself: "The legend must have been exaggerated in the process of being passed down. This is also very common in civilized countries on the mainland."

Based on Mrs. Emil's description, she speculated that the dragon god dwelling on the island was a mythical white or green dragon, and must have been very old.

“The priestess holds the Crimson Festival every month to appease the Dragon God’s wrath.”

By offering a girl to the Dragon God each month, the villages can be guaranteed to be free from disasters.

The priestesses of each generation have said that this was a necessary sacrifice—

Mr. Yuri, Miss Chaika, thank you so much for being willing to save Emily's life.

As Mrs. Emil finished speaking, she suddenly bent over deeply, and Jaika quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"But there's no way to fight back now. The Dragon God is not a being that humans can contend with... Please give up the idea of ​​being enemies with the Dragon God."

Although Mrs. Emil hated the Dragon God, she was convinced that she could do nothing, but Chaika did not think so.

"...Little Emily, perhaps she can be saved."

“What?” Mrs. Emil looked up.

Chaika turned to the black-haired boy beside her: "Yuri, do you remember what you told me during the day? The Dragon God might not even exist..."

When they met at the temple, Jaika was surprised by Yuri's hypothesis, and therefore remembered it very clearly.

Perhaps the island's legends and documents clearly record how majestic and sacred the dragon god was.

But in this era, no one has ever seen it.

If that's the case, it's very possible that the Dragon God actually died long ago.

Even dragons are living beings, unable to escape the curse that time bestows upon all things; they grow, age, and eventually die.

The mythical dragon that was at its final, most glorious period 800 years ago is now actually dead.

The rulers of Dragon God Island—

In order not to undermine the islanders' faith, the temple continues to pretend that the dragon god is still alive.

They continued their ancient practice of bloody human sacrifice, demanding a young girl from the people every month, simply to maintain their dominance.

"How could this be...?"

After hearing Chaika's reasoning, Mrs. Emil covered her mouth, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably: "This is too cruel! To think that something like this could be...unforgivable!"

"How about it?"

Chaika puffed out her ample chest smugly, looking at the black-haired boy with an expression that seemed to say, "I'm pretty amazing, aren't I?"

After spending these days together, Chaika realized that Euryphus was not just a boy with extremely high destiny power; he was also very intelligent.

This sparked a competitive spirit in Chaika towards the Prophet, and she hoped to gain his approval.

“Hmm, what Chaika said… does make some sense.” Yuri nodded, stroking his chin.

"What do you mean by 'it makes some sense'? It must be exactly like that!"

Chaika, hands on her hips, announced: "The Dragon God is dead!"

"..."

After listening to Chaika's reasoning, Yuri began to think.

The Dragon God is dead...

Is that really the case...?

This would make it impossible to explain the various strange phenomena on Dragon God Island.

The unusually rapid growth rate of the people, and the abundance of resources on the island.

These are almost divine supernatural powers, and Yuri doesn't think the women in the temple could do such a thing.

“To confirm whether your hypothesis is true… let’s investigate the traces of the Dragon God on the island,” Yuri said.

“Yes, that’s what I think too~ Mrs. Emil, please rest assured, Yuri and I will never let Emily become a sacrifice!” Chaika said with great determination.

Yuri felt that she was being a little too hasty because of Emily's matter, but she didn't say it aloud.

……

……

……

The next day, Yuri and Chaika returned to the temple on the mountain.

They obtained a map of the island from Mrs. Emil.

While investigating the ruins on the island, he also asked Stella to investigate the records of the dragon god and the priestesses of past generations inside the temple.

"Yes, leave it to me." The silver-haired witch nodded.

“That’s great! Infiltration and theft are Stella’s forte,” Yuri said with a smile.

Stella glared at him fiercely: "Huh? I'll burn you!"

“You two are really close…” Chaika suddenly said.

"Are your eyes just for decoration?" Stella frowned slightly.

For some reason, Jaika suddenly felt a little lonely.

Even if I hadn't participated in this singularity, Yuri and Stella would surely have been able to complete it successfully...

They were of one mind and had a very good understanding.

Yuri and Chaika began their exploration of Dragon Island.

They wanted to find evidence that the Dragon God was dead, and then present that evidence to everyone.

"Look, everyone! The Dragon God is dead! The sacrificial ritual is no longer necessary!"

This is how he persuaded everyone.

Of course, the temple maids would object.

At this point, Stella should step forward and personally announce the fact that the Dragon God is dead.

The press conference for the apology of "Dragon Maiden".

"Red bean paste secret Marseille deconstruction! They've been deceiving everyone all this time!"
