Chapter 1234 Retribution
Now there is bad news and even worse news.

The bad news is that the giant in the fire and black smoke that Argus saw was not some kind of imagination, but a real giant.

The worse news is that the remains of half of the Ark are not enough to complete the huge body planned by Merlin, only half, so that half of the giant will go to find the other half of its body.

And a certain diligent and cautious survivor of the Age of Gods spent a very long time dismantling that half of the body and evenly distributing it throughout the territory of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

In order to collect those materials, half of the giant will evenly roll over the entire Holy Cross Kingdom.

"That guy, even if it was unintentional, did he have to cause so much trouble?!"

"Don't worry, only half of the Ark is left, and the Ark's AI's permissions are incomplete. It can't even activate the Ark's self-repair function. You have plenty of time to stop it."

"Oh, this is great news!"

"Unless..." The Pope landed on the God-era Weaponry on Blaze's wrist, and a half-smile appeared on his cold face, "The emergency protocol is not triggered."

The corner of Blazer's eye twitched. He had said so many bad things about Theresa in his heart, and now he was getting his retribution.

"Chiron said that if the fangs of the godslayer were destroyed, the plan would be a failure..."

"It symbolizes the defeat of the war faction. Then the Ark is the hope of everything. All functions will be opened for the Ark AI, including the self-repair system that can dismantle surrounding materials to repair itself, and the right to change the structure of the Ark."

"Me!" Blaze slapped his mouth hard. He would definitely control himself in the future.

"It seems the situation is critical, but I started preparing a response plan after I met the Ark AI and learned about its actions."

As the Pope finished his words, the entire memory palace began to shrink. The rooms overlapped each other, and finally the entire memory palace shrank into a palm-sized cube.

"As long as we put this thing in the thinking area of ​​the Ark AI, we can resolve the crisis."

"..." Blaze glanced at the cube in the Pope's hand, then raised his finger and pointed at himself, "Do you think I'm an idiot? I believe whatever you say."

"No matter how I look at it, this seems like a complete backup of your mind. And you plan to use me to kick Merlin out and take over the body of the Ark Giant instead."

The Pope was silent for a while. To be honest, Blazer felt that compared to the Pope treating him like a fool, his silence was more hurtful. It was like he was trying to think of a trick that a fool could understand.

However, being able to make this group of extremely intelligent descendants of the Age of Gods at a loss for words might be a sign of intelligence.

"...driving a tiger to devour a wolf." After being silent for a long time, the Pope came up with an idiom and gave up on fooling people.

"Don't use such high-brow idioms." Blaze touched the back of his head and snatched the cube from the Pope's hand.

【Standby Database XII】

Blaze grinned, no longer pretending.

"Just throw this thing in there? If there's some strict manual to follow, I can't do it."

"You have eyes. If that moment really comes, you will know what to do." The Pope's body slowly decomposed, and his self-proclaimed question-and-answer system seemed to be disappearing. "I have another question. Why did Merlin help the Eternal King? He also claimed that he was someone who could not save the world."

"Because he is the Ark AI."

After leaving a meaningful answer, the Pope disappeared completely. At the same time, lights began to light up around him. It seemed that the Pope's database took up all the energy consumption. After the database left, other equipment here resumed normal operation.

"Old guys are all the same."

Blaze leaned over and picked up the scribbles on the papers on the ground, collecting each one without any hesitation. In the end, he even had to make a big box using local materials to fill them all.

Although the Pope seemed to have answered every question and explained everything, Blaze thought about it carefully and realized that the Pope had said nothing, not even the location of the wreckage of the Ark.

But this cannot be blamed on the Pope. Merlin, the Ark AI, is truly powerful. A sentence stored in his memory can cause interference across thousands of years. He instinctively realized that as long as he tried to ask, the words left by Merlin would continue to further destroy the memory palace.

Therefore, if we want to determine the location of the wreckage of the Ark, we can only look for it in these manuscripts.

Fortunately, the habit of backup among scholars of the Age of Gods is a good habit most of the time. They back up the database and naturally also back up the paper materials. Moreover, they are very careful to use anti-corrosion and moisture-proof paper. Even now, the text on the handwritten manuscripts is not blurred.

However, this level of caution made Blaze feel a little creepy.

After Blazer packed up all the manuscripts, he looked for the exit. The area he entered was closed, so he found another passage. After walking along the passage for a while, he climbed out of the sewer.

Fortunately, the people who lived in the holy city in the past were devout believers who could only rely on faith and prayer to survive, so the sewers were very clean, as if they had never been used.

"Is this also part of your calculations?"

Blazer dusted himself off and found Anderson, asking him to mobilize all the forces he could, such as the Crusade and the strangers from the Freemasonry, to guard the border with the Eternal Kingdom.

He couldn't describe in detail what would happen, he could only tell Anderson to establish the most reliable defense.

After getting Anderson's assurance, Blaze repeated the same words to the three saints and Ryan who had arrived late, then he left with peace of mind and headed towards the goblin village.

After returning to the Goblin Village, Blaze placed boxes of manuscripts in front of Theresa. It was up to her, the original body, to sort out the Pope's manuscripts.

Considering that Merlin was able to influence the memory palace through a language after a thousand years, God knows whether the Pope has hidden something in these ghost drawings that will affect Chiron, so this job can only be done by Theresa, and Chiron cannot be asked for help.

So far, this is all Blazer can do, and all that's left is to wait.

He sat on the altar of the goblin village with his arms folded across his chest and a frown on his face.

[Ares' Howl] lasted as long as the Ark's wreckage had recovered its self-repairing ability, but until now the Eternal Kingdom had maintained a superficial calm.

This was not a good sign, indicating that Merlin had decided to act in secret.

If there is no giant towering into the sky breaking out of the ground, then it will transform into countless little ghosts crawling on the ground, covering the sky and the earth.
