You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Is it the power of a witch...?" Stella muttered, narrowing her eyes.

"What!?" Chaika's eyes widened.

Like most magicians, she had a natural aversion to the word "witch".

Stella explained, "These women... are witches, or something similar to witches."

She glanced at the temple maidens out of the corner of her eye.

These women, like her, possessed the innate power to use magic.

That's why they were able to deflect Chaika's wind magic in the first place.

"So it turns out..."

Chaika's mind raced, a bead of sweat trickling down her cheek: "The Dragon God of Dragon God Island... the 'Pale Knight' is the kind of magical biological weapon the witches created during the war?"

"manufacture?"

Yuri smiled dismissively: "Humans can create gods? That's an arrogant idea."

No... can a witch be considered human?

Chaika wanted to complain, but she didn't say it.

"……hiss."

Yuri took a deep breath: "...It's gone up."

“What went up?” Stella frowned.

Yuri didn't answer, but changed the subject: "The Dragon God should be just ahead... Be prepared, the chance to meet an evil god alive is not many."

"........."

The head maid bit her lip and followed silently behind them.

After walking for about twenty more minutes, the passageway opened up, and they entered a vast space that resembled an ancient city.

"The seabed... there really is a place like this?"

"It's just like a lost city from mythology..."

Stella and Jaika gazed at the ruins and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, they soon saw "that".

"what is that?"

Stella felt her throat go dry, and with her mouth half-open, she couldn't say a word.

Yuri raised an eyebrow: "You'll understand once you see it, that's the Dragon God."

“That…is the Dragon God? It is indeed a dragon…but…”

Chaika had once seen information books about dragons in the Academy City library.

It is said that the largest dragon species in the world is a red dragon that has lived from the first era to the present.

It is about 45 meters long and weighs over 1000 tons.

However, even the largest dragon species in recorded history would probably only be described as a large reptile compared to "that" that appeared before everyone's eyes.

How exactly should one describe the awe-inspiring sight before one's eyes?

It's like a giant mountain.

The mountains themselves lie dormant within ancient underwater ruins, breathing quietly.

Just as the temple records describe, He had a dark, bluish-black body with pale lines mixed in, like the skin of a corpse.

Just gazing at it from afar, Stella felt a chill run down her spine.

Mrs. Emil was not exaggerating; if such a thing were to awaken... the earth would be reduced to ashes.

"This is the Dragon God... what exactly is He...?"

The two girls looked at Yuri.

"As you can see, He is the 'Pale Knight.'"

"According to the sacred texts of the previous era, they will appear on the surface of the earth at the end of the world, bringing the fourth apocalypse of 'death'."

Yuri, with a sense of superiority that "only I know what this thing is," began to explain.

Only he clearly understood what the existence before him truly was, and comprehended where it came from and where it would return to.

"In the ten thousandth year of the Holy Calendar, a war broke out between witches and humans, and the flames of war quickly swept across the world."

"While witches possess unparalleled power, their numbers are far too few."

"Even though humanity lost its saintess before the outbreak of the Witch War, there are still many truly strong individuals among humanity."

"Although the witches once had the upper hand in the war, they were quickly defeated by the number of human troops until... they learned some kind of future magic."

Yuri murmured.

“Nuclear thermal nova”…

"The futuristic magic, commonly known as the 'mushroom cloud,' reversed the tide of the battle."

"In retaliation against humanity, the witches dropped over a thousand mushroom clouds onto the Earth during the war, nearly destroying human civilization."

"The Pale Knights are the legacy of the Witch Wars, the final beings born from that catastrophe..."

Yuri said in a cold whisper.

"The king of monsters in the red mist, the wrathful will of the stars."

"By the way, in my hometown, this dragon... its name is Godzilla."

159 The Witch's Confession

"King of Monsters..."

Jaika blinked with a serious expression.

Stella gazed at the colossal form of the "Pale Knight," which seemed to occupy the entire temple like a hill.

So stunned that he couldn't speak.

Deep in the ocean, far from the mainland, lies a terrifying monster.

Perhaps it was the intuition brought about by the witch's blood flowing through her veins, but Stella could sense that this "Dragon God" was different from other dragons.

It was not just that she was huge; a terrifying power slumbered within her.

Stella blurted out instinctively, "What will happen if this guy wakes up...?"

“If the prophecies in the scriptures are correct, a quarter of humanity will be wiped out,” Yuri said.

"Just one horse?"

Stella still couldn't understand how it was possible to reduce the world's population by a quarter.

"This is the power of the 'Pale Knight'... The various ecological anomalies on this island are undoubtedly caused by this guy."

Yuri spoke.

Known as the Dragon God by the islanders and described as the "Pale Knight" in the holy scriptures... its true nature is that it is a monster born from nuclear radiation during the Witch War.

It is over 150 meters long and weighs over 100,000 tons.

A monster with an appearance reminiscent of a carnivorous dinosaur, as well as pale green scales and sword-like spines.

Without a doubt, it was created based on that world-famous monster movie.

If the Pale Knight is based on Godzilla, then it wouldn't be surprising if He were able to destroy the world.

In recent works, Godzilla has long since transcended its original category of radiation monsters and has been increasingly endowed with religious and divine connotations related to nature and planets.

On the other hand, Godzilla's size and fighting power have become increasingly outrageous.

There's even a work called "Godzilla: Singularity".

The screenwriter for this work is a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Tokyo.

Despite being an official work, the setting feels like a fan trying to prove Godzilla is the strongest fictional character in human history, using a lot of mathematical structures to explain the work's worldview.

The infinite multiverse that exists in reality is just one layer in Godzilla's countless dreams.

Singularity Godzilla can create an infinite universe, or it can destroy the universe along with its worldview; its atomic breath can shatter infinite dimensions of spacetime.

Even today, many debate enthusiasts still believe that Singularity Godzilla is the strongest fictional character in history.

Far away.

According to historical records on Dragon God Island, the Dragon God once annihilated a black dragon that invaded the island eight hundred years ago.

Yuri had already pictured the scene of the Godzilla-like monster in front of him piercing through the dragon along with the magical field with a heat beam.

Shortly after entering the singularity, Yuri realized that the island was unusual.

On this island, both humans and plants grow very quickly.

Initially, Yuri attributed this phenomenon to the power of the witch—

The island's native inhabitants, both men and women, possess powers similar to those of witches to varying degrees.

Young women, in particular, possess even greater power in this regard, with an astonishing concentration of magical energy within them.

If we take this as a starting point, we might be able to understand the reason for the existence of the "Crimson Festival".

However, Yuri soon discovered that the witch's power could not explain all the problems.

Then, until last night, Yuri sensed a deeper darkness on the island.

Last night, while walking on the beach with Jaika, they found a hermit crab on the sand.

It has a completely different appearance from ordinary hermit crabs.

One of its claws is exceptionally large, while the other is pitifully small.

Three eyes grew on its head.

In other words, it's deformed.

"You're so ugly," Yuri thought to herself with amusement. "Did you mutate after being exposed to nuclear radiation?"
