In the dark and deep hall, where even the midday sun could not reach, an old man stood quietly.

The old man is facing a wall, his eyes are closed, and he seems to be praying.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Another one is missing," the old man said to himself, "Have you failed even, Water of the Back?"

Although his tone was steady, those who were familiar with him could hear a slight wavering in it, showing the unrest in his heart.

The old man is one of the most authoritative people in the world, and he is the Pope who leads two billion Christians.

But even he couldn't keep calm in the face of the news of the failure of the rear water.

It is not because the Water of the Rear is the only person in the Right Seat of Gods who truly respects the Pope, nor is it because he has a powerful strength far surpassing that of the "Water of the Rear".

In the Pope's view, the "Right Seat of God" is only a part of Christianity, and like his own "Pope" position, he is the representative of the Lord in this world.

In essence, it is the same existence as those two billion believers.

but…

"But you can no longer find a reason to stop me—is that what you think?" A man's voice suddenly came from the shadow beside him.

"Did you also get the news? The Fire of the Right." The Pope said without looking back, as if he was not surprised by the appearance of the Fire of the Right.

"Of course, after all, it is one of the right seats of the gods." The right side of the fire laughed softly.

"You..." The Pope sighed silently.

If the water in the back is the right seat of a special god, far more powerful than the wind in front and the land on the left; then the fire on the right in front of you is even more special among the special ones.

Just like the expression on the right side of the fire at this time - disdainful, joking.

He doesn't care about the water in the back as a companion, because he does have the strength to match it.

To him, being defiant is almost a compliment. Even the Pope himself has gotten used to Huo's arrogant attitude.

After a moment of silence, the Pope spoke again: "What kind of monster is hidden in that city? Even the water has been swallowed?"

"That's why I said a long time ago that Academy City must be completely taken down. It's a pity..." Youfang Zhihuo shook his head.

"Is that why you want to start an all-out war with science?" the pope asked.

"Is there any problem?" Youfangzhihuo sneered, "It's just another crusade."

The pope looked serious: "Then the target of the crusade at that time will not be automatic puppets, but human beings."

"It's as if the first nine crusades were not human beings."

The Pope sighed again: "Do you know how many people in this world are using the convenience brought by science while believing in Christianity? I have no objection to actions against Academy City, but it is absolutely unacceptable that you want to start an all-out war." Yes! As Pope, I must be responsible for two billion believers."

The Fire on the Right laughed out loud.

"The pattern, the pattern is too small!" Right Fire stepped forward, "Among the objects you guard, are there only those two billion believers?"

The distance between the two drew closer, and the pope could see the contemptuous expression on the face of the fire on the right.

"There are seven billion people in this world!"

The Pope looked at him in surprise: "You...what do you want to do?"

…

"...He presumably wants to save the world?"

On the lake, a small boat floated quietly. On the boat, Laura, the supreme bishop of Puritanism, said so.

"ha?"

The flame mage Stile, who was also on the boat, looked over with an expression of "are you kidding me?"

"Save the world? You mean the right fire?"

"That's right." Supreme Bishop Lola nodded, "Is it strange? But I can understand him."

"Don't be kidding," Steele said directly, "that guy is starting a war! According to intelligence, he has already reached an alliance with the Russian Orthodox Church. On this scale, it might turn into World War III ah!"

"Hmm...it's very possible." Laura nodded, "Cultural education? Sure enough, we are too close to Academy City, so they also feel pressure?"

"So now is not the time to go boating on the lake, go back and think about countermeasures!" Stiyl advised.

The Supreme Bishop blinked and looked over: "I was just thinking about countermeasures, and I called you specifically... Do you think I asked you to come out to play with me?"

Stiles was silent.

The Supreme Bishop squeezed his chin: "Well, is the target of the Flame of the Right really still Academy City? Or...just bypass it? Now that we have already formed an alliance with Chengjiao, it seems that we can also attack directly from land..."

"Since you asked me to be a staff officer, it would be best if you could explain it." Steele said, "Maybe you know the purpose of the right fire, but I really can't understand, what he did has something to do with saving the world what relationship?"

"Well, it's hard to explain the specific details to you." Supreme Bishop Laura waved her hand, "In short, you just need to know that the Fire of the Right has a plan to 'save the world', and has the ability to implement the plan—theoretically, it does have .”

Stiyl was smoking a cigarette, curled his lips, and entered the mode of listening to stories.

"But that guy is very ambitious," the Supreme Bishop continued, "he wants to save the whole world."

"so what?"

"The problem is, the world is not complete."

"ha?"

"You know Baiyin and Yanshi, right?"

"Close contact."

"Do you know where they come from?"

"...Speak directly, stop asking these meaningless questions." Stiyl sighed.

"Then, skip the basic knowledge part." Supreme Bishop Laura clapped her hands, "According to the box theory, the whole world can be regarded as a complete box, and the fire on the right has the ability to operate on this whole. But in fact, the world This 'box' is not complete."

"Three thousand years ago, Baiyin and Yanshi on that continent jointly formulated a certain plan. Then Jedi Tiantong separated the entire continent and formed a small 'box' by itself. Of course, this isolation is symbolic , does not interfere with reality.”

"And the fire on the right is going to save the whole world..."

Steele continued, "So he's going to break that little 'box' and make the whole world whole?"

Supreme Bishop Lola nodded: "I think~lightnovelpub.net~Occupying Academy City is just a part of his plan, in order to gain a bridgehead to further conquer the mainland. You can also attack in one direction."

"Really?" Steele felt that he was still listening to the story, without any real feeling at all.

"Well, these are not important. You can just listen to it as a story." The Supreme Bishop Lola said, "Anyway...that kind of arrogant plan is impossible to succeed."

"Well, in short, it is basically confirmed that the war is about to start." Stiles shrugged, "For this, what do I need to do?"

"Recall Kanzaki Kaori and Amakusa Shiki," the supreme bishop Lola ordered, "Ling Xingye, he no longer needs bodyguards."

"Then what about Index's safety? Kanzaki's main job is to protect her, right?"

"The catalog of banned books is also recalled together. By the way, please invite her guardian. I will leave this matter to you." Supreme Bishop Laura patted Father Huoyan on the shoulder.
