"Explode, explode. Explode?" Hearing Arthur say this, Elaine became uneasy: "Your Majesty, you mean, this power furnace will explode, explode. Explode? Right here?"
"Any time." Arthur said, but he looked calm.
"Then aren't we very, very dangerous?" Elaine said tremblingly. If the power furnace exploded at this moment, everyone present would naturally be shattered to pieces.
"What are you afraid of, coward." Arthur walked over to check the power furnace. The hadron fusion power furnace that was turning crazily was emitting amazing heat just by being close to it. Arthur couldn't even touch the body of the power furnace.
"Sure enough, it is the Thirteenth Security Agreement." He suddenly said: "The Turkic people have implemented this agreement very well."
"Um, thirteenth...what?"
"The international safety agreement common to large warships equipped with hadron fusion power furnaces was formulated by European and African countries after a certain previous incident." Arthur replied: "After all, once such a dangerous power furnace explodes, it can
It will blow up half of Europe and half of Africa into a big hole."
Everyone present frowned.
"According to the Thirteenth Safety Protocol, when a battleship's hadron fusion power reactor is irreparably damaged and out of control, the owner of the battleship must forcibly abandon the battleship, evacuate all crew members on the ship, and set the [space trap] of the power reactor
Turn on, sinking the ship to the depths of the ocean and permanently deactivating it.
The forest we just saw in the power room is actually a kind of [space trap]--using a special transmission device to swap the space in an unknown corner of the world with the space where the power furnace is located.
In this way, even if the power furnace explodes completely out of control, it will only affect the land in an unknown corner of the world, and will not cause damage to the surroundings of the battleship... Well, it's too big
damage."
"You said it sank in the deep sea...?" Goff asked curiously.
"Originally. It seems that the Turkic Elephants faithfully implemented the [13th Security Agreement] nine hundred years ago and sank the ship deep into the seabed --- most likely somewhere on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. But
The church didn't know about this, so they dug out the boat and used it."
"this......!"
"Of course they knew nothing about the out-of-control power furnace. They thought it was some kind of powerful ancient artifact and they would be invincible if they owned it." Arthur shook his head and said, "They have no idea that this is a timer buried around them.
Bombs. They were just too lucky to use the Ark to this extent without causing a catastrophe."
"None of this is important." Joan of Arc asked urgently: "Well, once the power furnace explodes, how much damage will it cause?"
"I don't know." Arthur blinked: "The [Space Trap] was properly activated and sent the power furnace to a distant place. But part of the space of the battleship is still connected to the power furnace, otherwise it cannot
Receive the energy provided by the power furnace. In addition to the main power furnace, the backup power furnace is also a dangerous existence. I don't think the backup power furnace is hidden by [space trap].
Once it explodes, the first thing to suffer should be the land in an unknown corner of the world, that is, where the woods outside should have been. Then, the aftershock and waste heat will flow out along the space connected to the power furnace.
Detonate the backup power furnace and destroy the battleship itself. No one knows how much damage it will cause, but it should be enough to destroy a city."
Elaine was sweating profusely: "This, isn't this bad? The Vatican is going to be destroyed?"
At this time, the power furnace rotated faster and faster, bursting out with a bright light that made it difficult to open one's eyes. Arthur and others could only jump into the space crack and retreat from the inside of the power furnace to the "replaced space" outside.
"The guys outside are unaware and are still fighting fiercely. This also makes Skid Plattney's Ark's demand for energy greater and greater, and the load on the power furnace is also getting higher and higher." Arthur snorted.
Said: "If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the power furnace goes out of control and explodes, causing the entire Vatican to turn into purgatory."
Joan of Arc showed a troubled expression: "Is there no way to stop the out-of-control power furnace?"
"This thing has been out of control for at least hundreds of years. It sank under the sea before and no one cared about it. It miraculously maintained its final stability, so it is okay for the time being." Arthur shook his head and said: "Now the church is messing around.
By squeezing its energy, the out-of-control power furnace will naturally become further out of control, and will explode once it approaches the critical point. This is something that no one can change. Unless------"
"unless?"
"Unless the guys outside stop fighting now, let the ship move and sail towards the Mediterranean." The King of Knights groped his chin and said: "It is better for the ship to explode in the Mediterranean than to explode over the Vatican.
The harm is less."
"Then we------"
"Do you think you can persuade the people in the church to do what we say?" Seeing Joan of Arc being so naive, Arthur couldn't help but smile and ask: "This is a war, and those who are red-eyed at killing will not be rational.
.There is no way the fools of the church will abandon the ship and surrender like this. They will use this ship to resist until the last moment, and then... together with the Vatican, they will all be destroyed in a sea of fire."
"That's too tragic..."
"Do you want to save them, Joan of Arc?" Arthur asked coldly: "The fools of this era are playing with [power] that they should not play with and are not worthy of having. They are greedy for [power], self-righteous, and then they are [
Power] backfires, causing their own destruction. They are entirely to blame for everything. Do you think this kind of people are really worthy of being saved?"
Joan of Arc and Elaine both showed profound expressions. If they were ferocious and ruthless warriors like Arthur, they might have the answer already. However, these two are both benevolent women------
"Please." "Your Majesty...?" Joan of Arc and Elaine both looked at Arthur with big watery eyes, looking pitiful.
"You..." Dozens of blue veins appeared on the King of Knights' forehead.
"I also ask your Excellency." Gove also said: "There may be many bad people in the church, but not everyone is bad. Some soldiers are just ordered to defend the city, and they should not be implicated."
In the midst of such a disaster."
Arthur frowned.
"Despite this, I don't have the moral principles to save these people." He said angrily: "Originally, I should have taken Joan of Arc and Elaine and run away, away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Hasn't the church caused me enough trouble?
,Why should I go out of my way to save these people who are not worthy of being saved?"
Elaine looked aggrieved: "Yes, but ------"
"But you unreasonably kind fools just think you should try your best to save everyone, right?" Arthur scratched his head: "True love brings me trouble."
"...So you really have a way to avoid this catastrophe?" Joan of Arc asked doubtfully.
"I can try to suppress the bridge of Skid Plattney's Ark, and issue a wide-area announcement from there, advising the people in the city to retreat. It is their own choice whether to cherish their lives and abandon the fight." Arthur
Said: "If the [13th Security Protocol] that was once activated is still valid, the ship's artificial intelligence navigation system should give me temporary control of the ship. This will allow the ship to sail to the Mediterranean before the explosion, as far as possible
Reduce the scale of the disaster. This is the limit of what I can do. Stop praying for more good things."
"Just do this." Joan of Arc raised her battle flag: "You're going to suppress the bridge, right? I'll go with you."
"This ship will explode at any time. It would be better for you to escape with Elaine and the others------"
"I'll go with you." The girl insisted.
"Even if I try to persuade you, it's useless, right?" Arthur sighed: "I have been a willful woman from before. She is willful and troublesome."
Jeanne didn't speak.
"Me, me too..." Since Joan of Arc is going to follow, Elaine also plans to follow. His purpose of coming to the different world nine hundred years later is to save Queen Greenville. If Greenville
If the queen dies in a place like this, all his hard work will be in vain.
"It's up to you," the King of Knights said angrily.
"Are what you just said true?" Just when everyone was about to attack the bridge, a voice interrupted.
Knight Captain Isagu appeared in front of Arthur, his whole body burned black but seemingly uninjured.
Behind him was the old dragon Patunas. Patunas did not kill Isagu, but still followed him. It seemed that the two of them had reached some kind of truce agreement.
"...Yes." Arthur did not ask why Isagu and Patunas did not continue to fight. He just replied: "If we don't do something, according to this trend, in the Vatican
Everyone will be killed by the explosion and fire, and only a few people will survive."
Such as Patunas.
"...So the Pope has really betrayed us." Knight Commander Isaac smacked his lips, "He said he would bring everyone into [Paradise], but in fact he didn't intend to bring anyone with him, but only him."
He wants to monopolize that [Paradise]. As long as he gets that [Paradise], does he want everyone in the Vatican to be the victim of his entry into Paradise? What a selfish person."
"You knew it would turn out like this from the beginning, didn't you?" The King of Knights asked back: "If that's the case, why are you still blocking my way? No. It's precisely because you knew it would turn out like this, so you didn't intend to let it go.
When I meet Joan of Arc, shouldn't I give the Pope an opportunity to take advantage of me?"
Isagu did not answer directly.
"Anyway, it's too late now," he said. "Pope Eugene IV...has received [permanent access] to Paradise, right?"
Arthur and the others shrugged helplessly.
"So where is the Pope?" Starfall Dragon Patunas asked: "I said I wanted to take his head, don't you plan to just let it go?"
"Reno?" Elaine said.
Although he was very reluctant, the platinum lion spit out the [Seed of Eden] he had swallowed in his stomach.
"He is hiding here." Arthur said: "It is said that as long as he is in [Paradise], he is invincible, and we cannot enter Paradise, so there is nothing we can do against him."
"Not exactly." Isaac said, "The Pope seems to have said before that the gate to paradise can be opened only by collecting the blood of the three saints in the prophecy. The Pope must collect the blood of the three saints before he can enter paradise."
Yes, it would be nice to do something like this again."
"So who are the Three Saints you are talking about--"
"Aren't they all here?" Knight Commander Isaac looked at Arthur, Joan of Arc and Elaine.
"...This guy too??" Arthur glanced at Elaine in surprise.
"Hey, hehe... I didn't say it, did I?" Fatty Bai scratched his head.
"So, if you do the same thing again, you can enter that [Paradise], right?" The old dragon Patunas grinned and said: "Give me the blood of the three of you, and I will go in and hunt down the Pope. If
He is invincible in [Paradise], so I will go in and find him, pull him out, and kill him."
"Not now, Mr. Patunas." Arthur said, "This can be kept for you. I can't control what you plan to do with the Pope afterwards. But what we have to do now is to sail the ship away from the Vatican to reduce disasters.
Scale. When this matter is completed, we will be happy to lend you the [blood of the saint] needed to open the paradise."
"Very fair." The old dragon took the [Seed of Eden] from the platinum lion's mouth and swallowed it in one gulp: "I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have absolute patience. Waiting for a few hours is nothing.
