The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Omega suddenly clapped his hands together.

"Speaking of which, not long ago... probably a few hundred years ago, there was a similar alliance."

"Hey, don't you dare bring up that embarrassing name again..."

"Let's stick with that name, Goddess Alliance!"

"So that's really stupid, and there are several guys here who aren't gods at all?!"

The people in the room fell into a pointless argument again. Orpheus, who was watching quietly, exhaled, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and concealed a faint smile.

It's a bit noisy, but not annoying... It's not bad.

Chapter 821 Flame's Speculation

Rome, Italy.

"Heave-ho."

In the eternal city with its glorious history, a petite figure, wielding a stick, deftly evaded all the surveillance forces constructed by modern technology, landing on the rooftop of a tall building that overlooked the surrounding area.

"Oh, it's starting..."

Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, narrowed his eyes. Although he was only an avatar here, his eyesight was not much different from that of his original self.

In the girl's burning golden pupils, the ordinary tourists with extraordinary powers hidden in the bustling city of Rome were clearly reflected.

Among them were many familiar faces.

However, she already knew that the children who were considered her half-disciples had successfully passed the first test, so she wasn't too surprised.

She came here primarily to address other issues.

"Tch... still nothing?"

His golden eyes narrowed slightly.

He had put in his best effort and said a lot of nice things in the first battle, but he didn't even have a chance to make a move. He came here with a lot of anger, but it didn't seem like anything had changed.

The Heavenly Army's power was too overwhelming, and she began to miss the days when she was still a little monkey... at least back then her enemies didn't hide.

She began to feel like she had been tricked.

The guy who brought her here said there was going to be a fight.

Yes, that's the guy who was her master for a while.

The girl pouted unhappily, her gaze shifting to a magnificent domed building in the center.

The main body of the building is white and the top is over 100 meters high. The cross at the top of the dome emits a soft and sacred light under the sunlight. On both sides of the building, two Baroque colonnades extend forward, forming a huge circular square, in the center of which stands an obelisk.

Most Christians should be familiar with this place.

— St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.

Like a monkey, a nimble young girl landed lightly on one of the colonnades.

The location was already very conspicuous, but thanks to the illusion, no one noticed the girl's presence.

"So, this is the core of this operation, right..."

The Monkey King looked around and a smile appeared on his lips.

"This really is a place that doesn't suit me, Old Sun."

The sacredness of this place is undoubtedly genuine.

This is a place protected by God.

However... she is completely different from the girl standing on this building now in terms of her system.

She came here simply to confirm something further.

"As expected, there is still nothing."

The girl sighed.

The result was as expected.

There was neither the fluctuation of stellar particles nor the scent of killer species here.

Apart from that, Rome was quite peaceful... Ordinary crimes were naturally not within the scope of the girl's attention, and there were no confrontations between the superhumans.

It seems they took into account the rule against killing outsiders.

"Is everything alright for now...?"

The Monkey King narrowed his eyes.

The second match was different from the first. Although the first match was also significant, it was more about deciding the candidates, methods, and providing hints and ideas, while also allowing Tianjun to predict and guide the subsequent developments to some extent. In short, it was more of a preparation stage.

But this second game is different. This game, which is about to trigger a period of historical transformation, will undoubtedly determine the future that humanity must face next.

It's not impossible for a single battle to determine the outcome.

Although the scope of the Celestial Army's intervention is limited, a certain degree of unforeseen factors can be tolerated, but elements that are of no use other than destroying humanity must be eliminated.

That's what they say, but without enemies, she has nothing to do right now.

The girl sighed, put the stick she had just used for parkour behind her ear, took out a book from her bosom, and sat down to read.

This novel, called Journey to the West, is quite interesting.

"───"

However, she hadn't looked at it for long before the girl looked up again.

She sensed the fluctuations of the star particles.

As she expected, Izayoi and her group mingled with a group of tourists and entered St. Peter's Square in front of the church.

When Izayoi looked up and saw her, he smiled and waved.

"What's wrong, Sixteenth Brother?"

"No, I just saw someone I knew."

Izayoi lowered her gaze back to the front and shrugged.

"what……"

Yan tilted her head in confusion, but didn't ask any further questions.

But the bird behind them interrupted rather rudely.

"Hey, why are you all still looking so relaxed? Shouldn't you be looking for the Pope first?"

"Don't rush. Since the stage is outside, the contestants can't possibly not think of finding an authoritative figure like the Pope. But similarly, the Pope, who is not completely ignorant of the Little Garden, won't just sit idly by and wait to die. At least for now, it's impossible to find him there."

Looking towards one side of the square, Izayoi could see the Papal Palace, the official residence of the Pope, through the colonnade.

"Yes, although the current Patriarch has not completely hidden himself, even we have no way of investigating his schedule."

Misia walked ahead and spoke apologetically.

This Medici lady readily gave up her status as a contestant and instead became Izayoi's guide.

This was unexpected for Izayoi; she had thought the other party would contact someone else.

Meanwhile, Yan, standing beside him, still looked conflicted.

"Sixteenth Brother... if the Pope really opposes the research on stellar particle bodies, then we really have to..."

"Who knows?"

Faced with his younger brother's question, Izayoi shrugged.

"This kind of question can only be answered after observing that Patriarch, but if we consider the worst-case scenario, you'd better be mentally prepared."

"What if the next pope still opposes it? And if he opposes it, he kills him. How is that any different from sacrificing those children for an experiment? Even from the perspective of the miniature garden, it's the same, isn't it?"

Adopting such a radical approach will only add a few more names to the list of research victims—and then backfire on us in the future.

Like those children who form the foundation of 'absolute evil'.

Flame conveyed this implied meaning.

In Flame's eyes, the Pope's life was no more noble than that of the experimental children, but the reverse was also true.

No matter who you 'kill', the essence remains the same.

These were all necessary sacrifices made because of the need to complete the research and application within the time limit, sacrifices that Homura Saigo was completely unwilling to make.

However, when placed on opposite ends of the scales of humanity as a whole, this hesitation seems too willful and presumptuous.

"Perhaps that's true, but it also depends on the motive. If the Papal opposition to particle bodies is aimed at leading humanity to its destruction, then he is not an innocent victim like those who were victims of inhumane experiments, but rather an obstacle to humanity's future. Overcoming him now is a necessary action for humanity's progress."

At the same time, Misia also opened the pilot flame.

"and many more……"

However, at this moment, Flame seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped walking.

While pondering the question of what to sacrifice, Flame subconsciously grouped the Pope with the experimental children, adding to the issue of motivation that Misia had just mentioned…

"What if the Pope knew about the existence of those children?"

Then, Flame uttered this question.

Chapter 822 His Highness's Decision

"Is this the next battlefield?"

His Highness Gargía gazed at Rome and sighed.

"The Eternal City of Seven Hills... is indeed a very suitable place to unfold the final battle."

"Whether it will be successful in the end is still unknown. Of course, for His Highness who skipped the first battle, if he can't achieve anything in the second battle, then it really will be the last battle."

"You really show no mercy, you pleasure-seeker."

Gargi narrowed his eyes and smiled as he spoke to James beside him.

"Of course, as Your Highness's guide, it is only right that I offer you some encouragement."
