The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

As one of the most eager for quick success, Izayoi clasped his fists together and smiled.

"Then let's try to see if we can find any valuable Star Sovereigns."

If we were to say what might be most helpful to the stability of human history, it would undoubtedly be the sovereignty of the three stars—Earth, Moon, and Sun—which are completely different in nature but equally significant to humankind. The sovereignty of the Moon seems to still be controlled by the Moon Rabbit and the Twelve Guardian Deities, while the sovereignty of Earth is partly lost and partly held by the Twelve Deities.

The issue of Blue Star's sovereignty seems to be related to the purpose of the Heavenly Army in holding this game, but that's not something Izayoi needs to consider right now. For the time being, he only needs to focus on what's within his reach.

"Let's aim for solar sovereignty."

The boy smiled and calmly uttered words that many of the other contestants probably only dared to dream of.

The Sun's sovereignty originates from the primordial star and simultaneously influences the development of human history; it is the most prestigious and indisputable stellar sovereignty.

This competition seems to aim for fairness through a proxy model, but in reality, the proxy is allowed to seek help from the sponsor. Although there are various restrictions such as the number of times and the inability to directly fight, the differences in level and methods will actually be more apparent because of these restrictions.

Therefore, the struggle for solar sovereignty will likely ultimately be limited to the powerful entities qualified to intervene in this level of competition... Even if others obtain it, they will not be able to retain it.

Speaking of backing, Izayoi was confident that no one in this game had a stronger backing than them, but he didn't intend to waste his limited chances on such unnecessary battles. Moreover, even without such backing, his choice wouldn't change.

“Hey, perfect timing. I heard that guy who calls himself His Highness holds the sovereignty of the sun… and also has the goal of hunting down the sovereignty of the sun.”

Izayoi quickly decided on her target, and the two girls not only did not object, but their faces were filled with excitement.

The battles that couldn't be decided before might be resolved in this game.

However, the two people following behind did not notice Izayoi's slightly narrowed eyes.

"A savior on the side of God...?"

……

……

"Oh, it's finally starting, it's starting."

"...What's so exciting about this kind of thing..."

Bai Ye stared speechlessly at the image captured through the eyes of the Skywing species high in the sky, where a group of people were punching and kicking another group of people to drive them away... at least that's roughly what it looked like in her eyes, which could automatically filter out all kinds of special effects.

Moreover, similar scenes can be seen throughout the vast continent of Atlantis.

"Although we don't really like to talk about past glories, to be honest, compared to what we had back then... no, even without comparing it to what we had back then, it's just child's play, isn't it?"

Although Bai Ye doesn't look down on her juniors, labeling this thing in front of her as the 'War of Star Sovereignty' makes her glorious past, where she managed to reclaim more than half of the sun's sovereignty despite being chased by the three guys next to her, seem like a joke.

But Kurima, who had also experienced that war, watched it with great interest.

"Hey~ Just treat it as entertainment to cheer yourself up. After all, most of these guys only serve this purpose for you, right?"

"You bastard..."

Even with his eyes half-closed, Byakuya had to admit what Kurima had said.

The current stage is simply to select participants who are qualified to truly engage in this battle of human history.

Or, to put it another way, let this stage, this continent of Atlantis, which is covered by the organizer's authority through cooperation from all parties, select qualified participants.

Most people are destined to be eliminated.

Bai Ye gently exhaled.

"...Once we reach this stage, it's beyond our control."

The organizers have impartial authority, and the choice of who will be eliminated is not solely determined by the will of the Heavenly Army, nor can it be controlled by any one party.

On a stage of this scale, even an observatory cannot see the future.

To be honest, they weren't even sure if Izayoi could really meet their expectations.

but……

"However, their subsequent actions were not as unpredictable as before."

Alpha spoke softly.

"While Izayoi's success cannot be confirmed, both he and that Gargi undoubtedly possess the conditions to truly achieve the Primal Codex—and whichever side achieves it, it's unlikely to be something the other side would be happy to see."

"At the same time, they seem to be the most likely to achieve the goal at present."

Omega responded with a smile.

Even if there are hidden dangers on both sides, the original texts on both sides should be able to contain the most pressing crisis for the time being.

This alone gives the other side a reason to take action.

Moreover... if no action is taken, it would be meaningless for the other side to cooperate with the Heavenly Army to this extent.

As if confirming the thoughts of the two supreme goddesses, the entire earth pulsed once more.

A gentle breeze swept across the land, and the cries of animals echoed from every corner, making the colors of the plants seem even more vibrant.

Anyone on this continent with sufficiently keen senses can notice what is happening.

—The earth beneath our feet is gradually awakening.

Most of them probably didn't know that—until this moment, the final game leading to the future had truly begun.

Chapter 793 Research Progress

External Earth, Germany, Common Particle Institute 'Ymir'.

The explosion's flash shook the earth; the observation equipment had long since evaporated, and the specially made alloy had turned into liquid at high temperatures, flowing like lava.

Even the operators who caused this phenomenon were somewhat alarmed by the results.

Even though what they saw was just a remnant after everything was over, the current devastation and the tremors that felt like a real earthquake left a deep impression on them.

"Is this part of the crystalline stellar particle body used to create the 'Heavenly Ox'? Although only a tiny bit was successfully collected, it's a terrifying thing. It's said that just one of these things can constitute all the NBCR weapons. Is this information true?"

A person standing in the observation room adjusted his glasses and looked at the boy next to him who was compiling data.

The latter—a boy named Saigo Homura—nodded as he continued his work.

"NBCR... nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons... well... actually, we'll have to wait and see how it turns out, but more than that, I'd like to advance the technology to disable NBCR weapons."

"Oh? That's quite a lofty ambition."

Whether the bespectacled man was truly sincere in his assessment was unclear, but Saigo Homura frowned at that moment.

"...Oh no, it seems that due to the impact of the previous experiment, the transmission of some data has failed."

"It's okay, I'll have someone get it directly from the main server."

The bespectacled man quickly picked up the phone and gave a few instructions, while Saigo Homura sighed inwardly.

As far as I can remember, those currently on duty at the main server and observation room are all oddballs that he can't handle... or rather, most people would probably have a hard time handling.

Just as he was preparing to face a meeting he absolutely did not want to see, the intruder barged in.

"Hey, hey, I've brought the documents."

The unfamiliar voice and figure startled Saigo Homura.

—The one who opened the door without warning was a white-haired, golden-eyed boy.

"...Your Highness, I don't recall giving you permission to come in, and besides, you shouldn't be here at all right now."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

Such a childish and cringeworthy address made Saigo Homura's mouth drop open, but the two people next to him didn't care.

"Didn't you send someone to deliver the information? So I took on the mission... But it seems even you don't know, this game allows you to leave midway. Anyway, the conditions for passing the game are there. As long as you have the ability to get back and forth on your own, it's your own business if you want to run away and waste time. On the other hand, there's no doubt that now is the most relaxed time for those troublesome guys here."

His Highness smiled. He knew very well that his current actions would not escape the eyes of those in higher positions, but compared to those who were just watching the show, as long as the people who would stop him did not find out, that was fine.

Then, without waiting for the bespectacled man he called the pleasure-seeker to introduce him, he looked directly at another boy and widened his eyes slightly.

"You must be Saigo Homura?"

"Eh...is that right?"

"Ah, my apologies. Your demeanor is more ordinary than I imagined. After all, the monster next to me looked quite pleased when he mentioned you. I thought you were some other monster who got along well with him."

"Hey, you bastard..."

The pleasure-seeker looked at His Highness with displeasure, while the latter chuckled.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gargiya Vishnuyasha, and I am also one of the investors of this research institute. You can confirm this by asking that monster next to me who is pretending to be a gentleman. In this regard, it would be nice if you could call me Your Highness."

"Ah, yes..."

Flame was a little out of sync with the conversation, but since she could move freely within the research institute, and the research director next to her hadn't denied it, then what the other person said probably wasn't a lie.

Most importantly, His Highness, just as his title suggests, truly exudes a noble yet approachable and reassuring quality.

The name is just a bit strange.

Yan adjusted her mindset and chatted with His Highness for a few minutes, while also continuing her work.

"The results are in... Perfect timing, Your Highness, why don't you take a look too? After all, as the funder, you can't be uninterested in the content, and it can also serve as a reference for the future."

"Oh? What's this?"

"The first experimental results of the 'Tree of Life' project."

His Highness frowned at Saigo Homura's matter-of-fact answer.

"'The Tree of Life'? ...Can something like that really be born in this era?"

"Huh?"

"Your Highness is worried that this technology is too advanced for our time. That's alright, let's play the video first."

The bespectacled man chuckled and chimed in, while Yan, somewhat puzzled, began to move under his urging. The three of them turned their attention to the screen.

Amidst the intense noise, the small tree, about two meters tall, in the center of the laboratory was enveloped by accelerated particles at a certain frequency. It then began to vibrate, causing the facility itself to shake. The vibration continued even after the particles stopped, eventually causing the experimental sample to melt and evaporate, accompanied by a luminous phenomenon.

This seems to be the entirety of the experiment.

As a result, the nuclear-resistant armor, which was 200 centimeters thick, was instantly melted away.
