Are you worthy of saving the world?

Jiayi Ka reiterated solemnly, “Yuli and I will protect little Emily and will not let her become a living sacrifice in the festival.
Mrs. Emil...if you really love little Emily, please lend us a hand!"
"The dragon of Dragon God Island is not a god at all. It is just a bloodthirsty beast! There must be a way to defeat it!"
Emil remained calm and said, "Nonsense. I've already said that Lord Dragon God is an invincible great god.
If we disobey and anger the Dragon God, not only us...but even the world will be buried with us - doomsday will befall this planet.
If you think this is okay, then follow me."
Having said this, Mrs. Emil turned her back and walked away.
"..."
Yuli and Jiaika looked at each other and quickly followed.
And so, we followed Mrs. Emil to another vacant house in the village.
"Mrs. Emil, regarding the Dragon God..."
Just as Jiayi Ka was about to speak, Mrs. Emil interrupted her: “That expression actually shows that you don’t believe what I just said.
You may be thinking, how could a god living on an unknown island have the power to destroy the world?
This is by no means an exaggeration, the Dragon God does possess great power that we humans cannot even imagine.”
Yuri noticed that she no longer addressed him as "Lord Dragon God".
Like Jiaika, he probably gave up on the Dragon God because of Emily's incident.
She had seen many girls being sacrificed in the ritual so far.
I didn't think about rescuing them, I just thought it was a necessary procedure to keep the island running normally.
It was not until tragedy befell her own daughter that she began to repent, to fear and to hate, and she could no longer tolerate the existence of the "Red Festival".
But Jiayika didn't intend to blame her.
If Emily and I didn't have a close relationship, I wouldn't be so angry now... Jiaika thought.
"According to the records in the village, 800 years ago, another black dragon descended on the island.
It attacked the village in order to build a nest on the island, and it was the Dragon God who appeared at that time and protected the island...
The Dragon God killed the dark alien dragon with just one strike."
"Killed the black dragon with just one strike!?" Jiaika shouted in surprise.
The world view of "Goddess Apocalypse" is different from D&D. The black dragon is the strongest among all dragon species.
In this dragon world, the strength sequence is roughly black=red>other colorful ones.
A dragon species that can kill a black dragon with one strike... Could it be that the dragon god on the island is a mythical red dragon or black dragon?
"That is to say, eight hundred years ago, ordinary people other than the Dragon Priestess could also see the Dragon God."
Yuli's focus is very precise.
Mrs. Emil was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It seems to be correct."
"What does the Dragon God look like...?" he asked again.
It seems to have some connection with the old woman Yanhong, so it should be a red dragon?
Mrs. Emil shook her head. "It was a thousand years ago. The village records don't describe the appearance and color of the dragon god. There is only one thing...
I remember the records mentioned that the Dragon God's body was very huge, even compared to a giant dragon...
The body is a mixture of gray and green, and its huge body is reminiscent of mountains...
That’s why he is called the Dragon God. Even compared to a giant dragon, the Dragon God is like a god.”
How is it possible that...
Jiayika muttered to herself: The legend must have been exaggerated in the process of being passed down. This situation is also very common in civilized countries on the mainland.
Based on Mrs. Emil's description, she speculated that the dragon god entrenched on the island should be a mythical white dragon or green dragon, and should be very old.
"The shrine maidens hold the "Red Festival" every month to appease the wrath of the Dragon God.
As long as a girl is offered to the Dragon God every month, the villages can be protected from disasters.
Miko of all generations have said that this is a necessary sacrifice—
Mr. Yuli, Ms. Jiaika, thank you very much for saving Emily's life."
When Mrs. Emil said this, she suddenly bent down deeply, and Jiaika hurried forward to help her up.
"But there is no other way. The Dragon God is not an existence that humans can contend with... Please give up the idea of becoming an enemy of the Dragon God."
Although Mrs. Emil hated the Dragon God, she concluded that she could do nothing, but Jiaika did not think so.
"…Little Emily, maybe she can be saved."
"What?" Mrs. Emil looked up.
Jiayi Ka turned to the black-haired boy beside him: "Yuri, do you remember what you said to me during the day? Lord Dragon God may not exist..."
During the meeting at the temple, Jiayi Ka was surprised by the hypothesis proposed by Yuli, so he remembered it clearly.
Perhaps the legends and documents on the island have clear records of how majestic and sacred the dragon god is and how huge his body is.
But by this era, no one has ever seen it.
If this is the case, it is very likely that the Dragon God has actually died a long time ago.
Even dragons are living creatures that cannot escape the curse that time bestows on all things. They will grow, age, and eventually die.
The mythical dragon that was in its final heyday 800 years ago is actually dead now.
The rulers of Dragon God Island——
In order not to destroy the islanders' faith, the temple still pretends that the Dragon God is still alive.
They continued to carry out the bloody sacrifices that had been going on since ancient times, demanding a young girl from the people every month, just to maintain their own dominance.
"How could it be... like this..."
After listening to Jiayi Ka's reasoning, Mrs. Emil covered her mouth and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably: "This is too cruel! For such a thing... it's unforgivable!"
"How about it?"
Jiayi Ka proudly puffed out her plump chest and looked at the black-haired boy, her expression seemed to say "I'm really good~"
After spending these days together, Jiayi Ka realized that Ulysses was not just a boy with extremely high destiny power, he was also very smart.
This made Jiaika feel somewhat competitive with the Son of Prophecy and hope to gain his recognition.
"Well, what Jiaika said... does make sense." Yuli pinched his chin and nodded.
"What do you mean by there is a certain truth? It must be like this!"
Jia Yika put her hands on her hips and announced, "The Dragon God is dead!"
"..."
After listening to Jiaika's reasoning, Yuli began to think.
The Dragon God is dead...
Is this really the case?
This would not be able to explain the various strange phenomena on Dragon God Island.
The extraordinary growth rate of the people and the rich resources of the island.
These are extraordinary powers that are almost divine. Yuli doesn't think that the women in the temple can do such things.
"In order to confirm whether your hypothesis is true... let's investigate the traces of the Dragon God on the island." Yuli said.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. Mrs. Emil, please rest assured. Yuli and I will never let Emily become a victim!" Jiaika said with full fighting spirit.
Yuli felt that she was a little too eager because of Emily's matter, but he didn't say it.
……
……
……
The next day, Yuli and Jiaika came to the temple on the mountain again.
They got a map of the island from Madame Emile.
While investigating the ruins on the island, he also asked Stella to investigate the documentary records of the Dragon God and successive priestesses inside the temple.
"Okay, leave it to me." The silver-haired witch nodded.
"That's great! Infiltration and theft are what Stella is best at." Yuli said with a smile.
Stella glared at him fiercely: "Huh? I'll burn you!"
"You two have a really good relationship..." Jiaika said suddenly.
"Are your eyes just for show?" Stella frowned slightly.
For some reason, Jiayika suddenly felt a little lonely.
If I hadn't participated in this singularity, Yuri and Stella would have been able to complete it successfully...
They are in perfect sync and have a great understanding of each other.
Yuli and Jiaika began their exploration of Dragon God Island.
They want to find evidence that the Dragon God is dead, and then put the evidence in front of everyone.
"Look, everyone! The Dragon God is dead! There's no need to continue the sacrificial ritual!"
So convince everyone.
Of course, the maidens in the temple will object.
It is time for Stella to step forward and personally announce the fact that the Dragon God is dead.
"Dragon Priestess" apology press conference.
"Red bean paste private Marseille de Sita! I have been deceiving everyone until now!"
