I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

Before us lies the city of God's Throne, filled with towering metal buildings, the most striking of which is a pyramid-shaped tower in the city center that pierces the clouds.

"A very strange and advanced city, but the people around are like countless reptiles. Why are they looking at Lord Duanmu with such fanatical and awe-inspiring eyes?"

Liu Zi calmly assessed the city before her, then proceeded to criticize the people around her.

Since the three of them entered the city, they have been receiving very strange and enthusiastic stares from the local residents.

The focus isn't on her and Mebius, but on Duanmu Lian.

"They naturally love any protective umbrella that can shield them from the wind and rain. This world is full of evil dragons, and they know that their good days are built on countless battles between humans and dragons."

Duanmu Lian didn't even glance at the people around her, and casually explained why they were looking at her that way.

The Sun God Cult has never concealed its existence.

Duanmu Lian provided the Sun God Cult with so many solar weapons and taught so many people the breathing technique to extract solar energy.

His contributions and reputation surpass those of the existing Dragon Slayers, second only to the Sun Saint.

"I see. So you have the idea that if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up? It's true that you said it was an insect."

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's words, Liu Zi immediately understood.

Mebius glanced calmly at the people around him, showing neither joy nor sorrow for these people who lived there.

This city had a distinct class system and fanatical beliefs, which was arguably the most unappealing type for Möbius, a materialist scientist.

The two followed Duanmu Lian into the Great Temple.

This temple is located on the top floor of the central tower of the city, and its four sloping walls and floor are made of a special transparent material.

It is precisely because of this architectural style that its interior space is very bright.

Upon entering the Great Temple, Duanmu Lian immediately saw a long table that appeared to be used by nobles for their meals.

And several people were sitting on either side of the long table.

A spirited young woman with long, flowing white dress, golden hair, and an eye patch, known as the Rainbow Saintess, Laksha.

Sitting in a square, three-dimensional cage, the long-haired woman with a very gloomy appearance is the Holy Maiden of the Prison, Nim Hannim.

The mechanical saintess, whose entire body is clearly constructed of mechanical parts and whose body size is no different from that of a little girl, is Suspended Thread.

A gloomy man dressed in black clothes and white pants, his face covered with stitches, the Saint of Bones, Gaiyin.

The middle-aged man, wearing dark sunglasses and a well-tailored suit, is known as the Sage of the Web, Gustave Noah.

A girl with dark skin, dragon eyes and fangs, and dragon horns on her head, the Dragon Saintess, Laputrica.

And the last one, a swordsman who looked incredibly young, with handsome features and a slender figure.

Duanmu Lian glanced intently at the sword on the last person's body.

Because that was one of the demonic swords of the Claw Clan.

After Duanmu Lian entered the hall, all eyes turned to him.

"Welcome, Duanmu Lian."

Mebius and Ryuji looked at the only single throne in the hall with some surprise.

In her sight, the Saint of the Sun, whose entire body was shrouded in flames and whose only remains were skeletons, Dula Polo Nelo, nodded slightly to Duanmu Lian.

Please take a seat.

Chapter Forty-Two: News of the Silver Comet, The Saintess at the Time of Execution

As soon as Duanmu Lian led Liu Zi and Mebius into the Great Temple, they attracted everyone's attention.

Many of the Dragon Slayers present knew him.

Lakshmi was his student in a sense, so he looked at him with a friendly gaze.

As for the others, it's more complicated.

Back when he was the [Flame Demon], he fought against the Mechanical Saintess and the Prison Saintess present, and almost killed them.

Therefore, these two people had a very deep impression of Duanmu Lian.

“Call me here, preferably if you have something I want to know, Dura Poirot Nello.”

Duanmu Lian completely ignored the gazes of the other Dragon Slayers and sat down on the other side of the long table facing the Sun Saint, with Liu Zi and Mebius standing behind him.

He stared calmly at the skeleton seated atop the fiery throne, and spoke in a cold yet extremely authoritative tone:

"I don't want to meddle in your internal affairs, but since you've called me here for something like this, you must have some information, right?"

The reason Duanmu Lian accepted Arnold's invitation last time was that she realized the Sun God Cult had something to discuss with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been summoned here simply because of matters within the Sun God Cult.

"Besides the matter of eliminating Carula, there is indeed something I must inform you of."

The Sun Saint didn't seem to mind Duanmu Lian's tone at all. His skull-like eyes gleamed with a piercing light, and then he uttered words that made Duanmu Lian's expression change:

"In a silver mine 600 kilometers southwest of the main city of the cult, we discovered fragments of the legendary silver comet, but our excavation team has all lost contact, and the search and rescue and exploration teams sent there afterward have also all disappeared without a trace."

"...The timing is just too perfect."

Upon hearing the news of the Silver Comet from the Sun Saint, Duanmu Lian was excited for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

After speeding up his thinking, he realized that the timing was too coincidental.

The Cult of the Sun God had only recently ceased its battle with the Roaring Blood Clan because of the matter concerning the Saintess of Time, Karula.

Then, not long after, news of the silver comet arrived.

“You’re right, the timing is a bit too clever, so we suspect this is a trap for you!” the Sun Saint said bluntly.

This is why the Sun God Cult always invites Duanmu Lian to handle internal matters.

The silver comet was discovered not earlier, not later, but precisely when trouble was brewing within their Sun God Cult and they needed mediation.

Having fought with the dragons for many years, the Sun Saint understood their cunning.

Last time, Duanmu Lian almost killed the Roaring Blood Clan Dragon King. The Dragon Clan must be very wary of her and wish they could eliminate her as soon as possible!

"So, it seems that there's more than just a simple incident within your Sun God Cult; there might be a traitor among you."

A sneer suddenly appeared on Duanmu Lian's face, and then she used her beautiful star-flower eyes to give a meaningful look to the dragon slayers on both sides of the long table.

His deal with the Sun Saint was known only to the Prophet Bayin and the Sun Saint himself.

If the news about the Silver Comet is indeed a trap set by the Dragon Clan against Duanmu Lian, then they must know that he is searching for the Silver Comet.

"......"

Duanmu Lian's words made the atmosphere in the entire Great Temple tense.

This place is full of dragon slayers. The fact that someone in the Sun God Cult's headquarters said there might be a traitor made everyone present feel uncomfortable.

If not, they would only be upset because of what Duanmu Lian said.

If so, then the matter is really serious.

"My church will investigate this matter."

The Sun Saint spoke, stopping the uneasy atmosphere from spreading. He stared intently at Duanmu Lian on the other side of the long table and said in a deep voice, "Since the birth of our sect, although we have slain countless dragons, we have never killed a Dragon King. Therefore, your existence can be described as an unrepeatable miracle. Do not go to the location of the Silver Comet alone. After our sect has eliminated the out-of-control Karula, we will send several Dragon Slayer Warriors to go with you."

This is the main purpose of this meeting; the Sun God Cult does not want anything to happen to Duanmu Lian.

After they resolve the issue with Karula, they will send a Dragon Slayer to accompany Duanmu Lian.

Even if it's a trap, this gives you a better chance of success and safety.

After thinking for a moment, Duanmu Lian agreed, saying:

"I've agreed to this. Now, do you need my involvement in purging the out-of-control Carula from within your organization?"

"Yes, we're short-handed. The Roaring Blood Clan has learned of our internal problems and has begun eliminating our frontline strongholds. Therefore, the Saint of the Net, the Saint of the Corpse, the Saintess of the Rainbow, the Saintess of the Dragon, the Immortal Swordsman, and other Dragon Slayers all need to go to the front lines. I'm afraid the remaining manpower isn't enough to defeat the Thunder Beast, so..."

The Sun Saint spoke of the current difficulties faced by their Sun God Cult.

Because of the uncontrolled Karura problem that needs to be dealt with, and the need to use Karura to lure the Thunder Beast for a subjugation operation, their high-end combat power is no longer sufficient.

The Roaring Blood Clan, in alliance with the ancient second-tier high-ranking dragon, the Machine Dragon, has begun to launch a surprise attack on the Sun God Cult.

Therefore, high-end combat power must be deployed to the front lines.

As a result, there aren't enough people to fight the Thunder Beast.

With only the remaining Mechanical Saintess and Prison Saintess, it's clear that they don't have a 100% chance of defeating the incredibly mobile Thunder Beast.

Therefore, they would need Duanmu Lian's help.

Frontline warfare, or the subjugation of the [Thunder Beast].

Choose one of these two operations.

With the addition of Duanmu Lian as a combatant, the two battlefronts can be balanced.

If they choose the front line, then the Sun God Cult can free up manpower to focus all its efforts on defeating the Thunder Beast.

If they choose to hunt down the Thunder Beast, then the Sun God Cult can send more people to focus on the front-line war.

"I will oversee the execution on the day of the execution; leave the Thunder Beast to me."

After pondering for a while, Duanmu Lian agreed to the Sun Saint's request.

Although he is currently taking the matter of the Silver Comet very seriously, some things cannot be rushed.

Three years later, he had made great progress in his abilities. When faced with information that might be a trap, he was confident but not arrogant.
