It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 716 Lovi Brooke, Son of the Goddess

There was a brief silence in the tent after Rowe said those words.

If so...

What exactly is the role of Randall, the Chancellor of the Griffin Park, in this story...?
Luo Wei remained silent for a brief moment.

According to the idea of ​​the Goddess of Water in that scene, she hoped to postpone the war of the gods until now. Although she casually mentioned that she was going to retreat to the background, she was probably already prepared to perish.

It can only be said that even if one wants to minimize the impact as much as possible, things often don't go as planned when one knows the prophecy.

"Wait a moment!"

Saya launched into another outburst: "But didn't you just see all this today? How could you have known all this last night? And what does this have to do with what the Temple of War is doing now?"

Loewe didn't mind her using this questioning method to prove the results.

"Isn't the reason clear yet?" he chuckled coldly. "Because the Temple of War simply doesn't have that capability."

The war festival was their discovery of the secret hidden behind the starry sky of destiny. The current divine war is due to the gathering of the saintesses. They were merely the ones who lit the fire.

Can the person who started the fire control it once it spreads? The Temple of War Gods does indeed possess the key to the fire, but what happens after the lock is opened is beyond their control.

Triggering a meteorite impact on the continent is acceptable, since this happened before; triggering it is sufficient.

It's not a problem to bring back the ancient divine war through the power of the saintess; they must have key items in their hands, and the principle should be similar to how Randall caused the great fire in the royal city.

But to control the various gods and divine legions in that divine war to fight for them? That just shows you're overthinking things. You might as well go home and sleep. There wasn't even a ceremony. If you're so powerful, why don't you control the God of War? The First Continent would be yours.

"what???"

Saya looked over with a strange expression.

"That old man was putting on such a serious act?!"

“If he doesn’t act like he’s in complete control, how can we believe that since they caused this situation, it’s naturally under their control?” Rowe said. “Why do you think he left in such a hurry? If he keeps acting like this, he’ll be exposed. If the army from twenty years ago pierces his backside, where will he put his face as the Pope?”

"..."

Uh.

Although I understand what he meant, this description is really...

Ayining adjusted her posture, feeling much more relieved after hearing his words, but there were still some things about the whole thing that puzzled her.

“The Temple of War…why would they do this?” she asked. “If it’s as you say, it doesn’t seem to help their battle at all.”

"Because what they really want is not victory in the war of gods. It would be best if their saintess could win, but it doesn't matter to them if she can't."

"W-what?" Lovely thought she had misheard. "You're saying the Temple of War isn't doing this to defeat us?"

"Ah."

Lowe gave her the answer with certainty, and also looked at the others in the tent.

"The purpose of the Temple of War Gods is so that their Pope can become a god and ascend to heaven."

……

Under the setting sun in the military camp, Ayining stood beside Luo Wei, looking at the distant, pale blue fields gradually bathed in the afterglow.

The army that appeared there fought day and night, their metallic clashes echoing across the land, and the occasional flashes of lightning and the collisions of divine power plowing the fields with exaggerated marks.

To some extent.

This, like the fire at Melendall, is something that happened "again," only twenty years apart, and it manifested itself in a different way.

No wonder the prime minister said it wasn't the "first time" that had happened; it's just that there were some past events they didn't know about, hidden behind the stars, and not recorded in the history of this continent.

"You're saying the Pope of the Temple of War wants to become a god... to absorb the power of the gods who fell in this divine war, is that right?"

In response to her question, Luo Wei nodded.

They were also told the relevant reasons: the Temple of War Gods did indeed have such a secret method, which was originally a "Holy Life Extension Method" used to forcibly prolong the lives of some highly respected people.

The God of War doesn't even care about humans, so why would he care if you're a human sacrifice? As long as it's not like a cult that forces people to give up their lives, no temple in any religion forcibly prohibits believers from voluntarily offering themselves.

The current, newly appointed pope is a master of this art.

The previous round wasn't this extreme; they only absorbed the prisoners who were defeated and deemed guilty, using it as a form of private execution. They also wanted to absorb some of their own Xiaoguang Saintess at the end.

However, now that he's no longer acting, Lovichai guesses that the "Silver Lion," whom he nearly killed, has probably become part of the Pope's faction.

"..."

In addition to the new route with the Fate Phenomenon.

Perhaps it's because they had such a huge advantage this round that the Temple of War probably no longer expects Saintess Xiaoguang to win.

If he were to absorb all the power from the divine war twenty years ago, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly ascend to the level of a first-class god. At that time, it's hard for Luo Wei to say what the current gods of the First Continent would think.

He estimated the odds of killing this guy and recruiting him to the First Continent to be about 50/50. However, the Pope also had the possibility of ascending to the Third World, since the moon in the sky was slacking off again.

I'm really fed up with this goddess who keeps disconnecting from the internet...

Of course, if he can't get in touch, it's definitely his problem, not the goddess's. What bad intentions could the moon in the sky have? Goodman said he'd get used to it.

"call……"

He slowly let out a sigh of relief. He knew what the Pope was plotting because he had experience familiarizing himself with the other party from the previous round. People's behavior and choices may deviate, but their goals and thoughts are hard to change. As long as his ultimate goal was to become a god, then regardless of the process or method, since the intention had already been revealed, there wouldn't be any deviation.

In this respect, the Pope is definitely not as good as Randall, because he didn't figure him out in the last round, so to this day, Rowe still doesn't know what Randall's ultimate goal is.

but.

How could the Pope have imagined that the people who came to mess with him were from the second timeline? Well, he had no choice but to face this ordeal.

After confirming that the defense line was in good condition, Luo Wei and Ayining returned to the military camp, where Luo Wei was summoned by Liya Lan alone.

The light from dusk to evening streamed into the tent.

Standing in the open space, Luo Wei saw the weariness on the woman's face for the first time.

"are you OK?"

“I’ve actually fallen to the point where you care about me,” Liya Lan closed her eyes. “I should say I’m relieved. It’s already a rare treat for me to see you like this.”

Luo Wei pursed his lips. A strong, tough woman like her probably didn't need him to worry about her. It seemed like she was just having a long-lost emotional outburst.

Liyalan put down the letter and walked towards him.

"To be honest, your decision to bring the saintess here was indeed decisive. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what we were fighting, and we might have stumbled into the wrong truth."

“It’s nothing,” Rowe said. “If it weren’t for the information you gave me, I wouldn’t have done this so easily before I got to the bottom of it.”

You can imagine what will happen.

Since the area around the Holy Maiden will be drawn into a scene of divine war, they will have to fight against the army that suddenly appears, whether in the valley or on the front line. The front line is okay since the main force is there, but if the valley also has to send out legions to guard it, then both sides will be unable to withstand it. If they don't pull them over to find out the truth, they will think that the other side has cursed the Holy Maiden.

Although we'll have to bring them over eventually.

However, in the Temple of War's expectations, this would probably be a little later, when they would finally fight to the death after being tormented by the legion from twenty years ago and having exhausted their forces.

With him around, they're probably overthinking things.

So it's only natural that the other side would come out to check the situation. After all, they always thought their saintess wasn't on the front lines, so their sudden cooperation was just a pretense.

But this doesn't really affect anything. It just means that the Temple of War Gods has completely given up on the Dawn Saintess. They'll still absorb what they need to absorb, they're just worried about their intentions being exposed.

Although it has already been exposed.

Liya Lan then placed a box in front of him.

Luo Wei glanced at the length of the box and then focused his gaze, looking up at her.

"you……"

“You are Eltina’s child,” Lialan sighed. “Then you are indeed qualified to wield this sword.”

Luo Wei sighed slightly; he had no intention of using his identity for this kind of thing.

"Including if you want, I can also transfer my identity as your agent."

“Give me a break,” Rowe said helplessly, looking into her serious eyes. “Letting me manage the church is no different from being tied to the judgment seat by you.”

“You’re a really strange person,” Lialan frowned. “You don’t want to be a king or a tyrant, nor do you want power or fame. So what do you want?”

“Uh…” Luo Wei looked at her, embarrassed.

After a moment of deep thought, Liya Lan looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Is something like that really worth all that effort?"

Luo Wei stood still and shrugged.

"There's nothing wrong with being free and unrestrained. Besides, aren't you guys doing all this? You won't get old, sick, or die, so what do I have to worry about?"

"..."

Liya Lan figured it out.

So you just want to enjoy the benefits without taking on any obligations? Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about them when it's their turn to work, and he doesn't need to manage their usual troubles either.

Really are……

How did Altina end up with such a child?

However, she felt that he understood the weight of responsibility, just like he had weighed the pros and cons when he gained fame and prestige before, and he saw things very clearly in this regard.

If this war of gods and the destruction of the world are resolved, then truly no one in this world can do anything to him, and he can live however he wants.

Given his personality, the gods would only ask him for help when they were unsure of the situation or circumstances. Most of the gods probably admired him quite a bit.

Ugh……

He just had to get involved with women.

Luo Wei had already opened the ancient sword box and taken a look. The long, beautiful, azure-blue blade and the silver-white hilt with its ancient patterns looked so holy that they were almost beautiful.

The sword of the Goddess of Purification, a divine weapon of a second-level deity: "Sword of Purification Prayer".

However beautiful it may be, this is still a holy sword for slaying enemies and eliminating evil spirits. The valor of its blade and body is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it also looks quite heavy.

Rowe carefully picked up the sword, gripping the blade, and the first thing he did was to sniff the hilt thoroughly.

"Um……"
