Chapter 837 Argel's Purpose

The bird's doubts were clearly audible in Rome, which had almost completely calmed down. The contestants, including Nameless and His Highness's subordinates, who were of decent strength and could barely maintain their hearing, deeply agreed with this question.

However, Arger seemed quite surprised by Asuka's question and tilted his head to the side.

Why?

She didn't seem to understand why Asuka would ask that question.

"Little Al is a contestant, so is there a problem with him being here?"

Her counter-question left everyone else speechless.

This is true.

In the first game, the Demon Star Arger, the Norse hero Vida, and Gaia Moko formed a team of contestants and were recognized as the Demon King's flag and acted accordingly.

Therefore, many people subconsciously felt that after defeating the Demon King, the Heavenly Army would also take care of the Demon King's subordinates.

However, upon closer examination, Gaia Mozi did not violate any rules throughout the entire game, so his team would naturally not be eliminated, and the Heavenly Army had no reason to target the other members of this team.

Ultimately, Gaia's last son was only participating in the Star Sovereignty War; he hadn't had time to do anything else yet.

If we continue to think in this direction, not to mention the Demon King's two subordinates who came from who-knows-where, even the current whereabouts of the Demon King Gaia's last son are uncertain.

In other words, although Gaia's true physical body is basically confirmed to be temporarily destroyed, it is unknown whether the spiritual body possessing the Minotaur has been resolved.

"Well……"

While Asuka was still sorting things out, Rin, whose thinking was more agile, already had quite a few guesses.

"Have you guys reached an agreement with the Heavenly Army?!"

"Hehe, who knows? Anyway, Little Al was only willing to help because of the youngest son."

Ling frowned.

Although they had anticipated Gaia's awakening during the first game and roughly knew their lineup, they still didn't know how these people had come together.

Moreover, this great demon king, Alger, who was known as a super problem child at the time, actually obeyed Gaia Moko to this extent.

If Ling remembers correctly, the timing of Argel's rebellion against Greece and his invasion of the Demon Realm did overlap with Gaia's first attack on the Little Garden, and both targeted Olympus. However, Gaia was actually driven back to her homeland by the Dragon God in less than half an hour, so the two sides probably didn't have any chance to interact.

However, considering the consistency of their attack targets and timing, as well as the current situation, there seems to be a possibility of a connection beyond that.

Is this from the Protoss perspective or the mythological perspective...?

It's too late to seriously consider this issue now.

I originally thought that the Heavenly Army would be able to deal with the difficult element of Gaia's final son in one go, but I didn't expect those guys to be so arrogant as to think that they could control this element.

Even if it's not Gaia's final son himself, this is still the Demon Star Alger! Even if its combat power is still insufficient against the entire Heavenly Army, once it erupts without warning, it will be enough to completely shatter all the efforts of any force in this grand scheme so far.

Aren't the Heavenly Army afraid of backlash?

Of course, this kind of question is destined to remain unanswered. Ling doesn't know whether the efforts of other forces will be in vain. The only thing she knows is that all her efforts have now come to nothing.

"So you came here... what's the purpose of the guy behind you sending you here?"

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Ling pressed on with another question.

This Alger looks simple-minded, but in reality, he has been tricked by the righteous order many times in the past because he was too stupid. At least from his experience, he is not as shrewd as his age suggests. So if you ask him a few more questions, you might be able to get more information out of him.

"Well……"

Argel kept his head tilted to the side, seemingly seriously considering whether or not to answer.

"Indeed, I have to tell you, since I'll need your help later."

"help?"

The bird squinted, its gaze sweeping across its surroundings.

At this moment, the entire city of Rome was completely covered in gray and white.

Arger has many recorded abilities, with petrification being one of the most representative.

The present-day city of Rome is a product of this power unleashed.

Is this how you ask for help?

"There are no living things left."

As Asuka shouted, Kasukabe Yō, whose perception became even clearer, also chimed in.

This statement also alarmed the others.

In other words, they were probably the only ones left in all of Rome who could still maintain consciousness.

The only saving grace is that Alger is still in the game—meaning she hasn't taken the life of any human from the outside world.

However, this also means that the life of all of Rome has been grasped in the hands of the girl before him.

The visitor was extremely hostile.

"Isn't this a quieter and easier way to talk?"

Argel still looked puzzled, unsure if it was truly the case.

"Besides, this troublesome rule says we can't kill humans from the outside world. If that's the case, then we don't have to worry about accidentally killing them if we petrify them first, right?"

"Uh……"

The bird was stunned.

What the other party said actually makes sense. Although I didn't observe it, I can imagine that many innocent lives must have been lost in the chaos just now, and some of them probably died from accidental shooting by the contestants.

In a sense, Arger's actions directly reduced the probability of such a scenario to zero.

This is a classic example of the capricious approach of trying to adapt to the rules when one cannot adapt to them.

Having figured this out, the bird could only suppress the anger that arose from the desolate scene around it.

Anyway, the Atlantean natives who were turned into monsters by her were eventually separated from their monster forms by her divine sword and restored to their original forms. If these petrified people really can't be restored in the end, her sword should still be useful.

Finally, the people surrounding Arger gave up struggling.

"So what exactly do you want? And why are you looking for us?"

Although still somewhat worried about Flame's situation deep inside, Asuka had no choice but to follow Argel's lead and try to gather as much information as possible.

"Hehe, although little Al is super beautiful, you don't need to be in such a hurry."

However, the response was dismissive and contained absolutely no information.

As Arger jumped onto a nearby rooftop, sat down, and answered her with a grin, Feiniao's forehead bulged with impatience.

However, Arger naturally didn't care about her reaction, and instead raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Oh, they're almost here."

Hearing her excited voice, the others could only watch as well.

To be honest, because of the golden film and the dazzling white beam of light, even those who were quite strong had difficulty seeing the specific situation in the sky.

Kasukabe Yo then used the Catalogue of Life to switch his vision to that of a creature with excellent eyesight.

Then she opened her eyes wide.

"The sky... has cracked open!"

Then, this exclamation was uttered.

Chapter 838 The Intertwining of Starlight

Although the white beam of light had weakened considerably compared to the beginning, it still maintained its posture of piercing through the heavens and earth.

Even if God's blessing has offset most of the power, it is unrealistic to expect the weak external world to continuously withstand this power.

After miraculously holding on for a period of time, the world finally could not resist the cracks that had been spreading slowly. The massive spatial fissures almost covered the sky above Rome in a short period of time.

If this continues, it's only a matter of time before space crumbles into fragments and the entire world follows in the footsteps of the space James created.

This problem certainly won't go unnoticed.

However, those who should be on the front lines responsible for such issues are currently too busy to fully resolve the problem.

"───"

Ten universes shone brightly in the sky.

The energy that naturally overflows after the brilliance of the universe is concentrated into a single point... This level of heat alone is enough to melt the space that Izayoi and His Highness were unable to completely destroy in the blink of an eye.

And after that, this heat energy would likely be able to easily suppress the mere universe next to this space in an instant.

-- That's how it should have been.

"Roar?"

The King of Killers let out another intrigued sound from his throat.

Originally, he only paid a little attention to the other party because of his identity, but now the King of Killers is genuinely interested in the existence in front of him who is called the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

That was because a shadow suddenly appeared in a pure white space that had been stained by high temperatures, a shadow powerful enough to obscure the brilliance of the universe.

The shadows enveloped the king of the killer species in an instant, followed by immense pressure.

Even with Galgi's eyesight, the radius was so large that it couldn't be seen to the end, let alone its height.

Although the full picture is no longer clear, the King of Killers, who can sense the spirit level, can naturally tell that what is now falling with the force of Mount Tai is the slender golden staff that was originally in the hand of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

The Golden Cudgel... Anyone with even a slight understanding of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven will be familiar with this weapon.

However, the scene before them exceeded many people's expectations of this weapon.

"Although it was indeed made of divine iron that could stretch and contract freely, it was really a bit exaggerated to be able to achieve this level of performance."

Even the king of the killer race couldn't help but sigh like this.

Then, the golden cudgel, which was even larger than a mountain, slammed down on the spot where she was.

"—But what use is such a thing?"

The next moment, the sound resounded throughout the space again.

At the same time, a black wind appeared without warning next to the edge of the golden cudgel and quickly condensed into Galji's body.
