Chapter 229 Ambition
Three days later, in the suburbs of Katifan City.
The gap area closest to the Vatican.
A group of Vatican officials in white robes walked into the defensive post next to the gap.
After a while, the group of people in white robes left the sentry post and stopped directly below the gap in a specific position.
The extremely pure light power rose rapidly in a short period of time.
A giant magic circle emitting silver light suddenly appeared, bright light shone, and a hurricane arose!
Above the bright light, the dark and bottomless gap seemed to distort for a moment.
The bishops in the magic circle were delighted upon seeing this, and they felt relieved. They all looked at the person who was at the center of the magic circle right in front of the gap.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The strong wind lifted the hood of the man at the center of the formation, revealing the sacred face of the Pope of Light under the white robe.
Callisto remained motionless, and slowly stretched out his hand in the increasingly violent hurricane.
The blade of light flashed, and the next second it turned into a terrifying knife cut vertically on the palm of Calis.
The broken blood drops dripped into the magic circle under his feet, and within a few breaths, the silver-white magic circle was dyed bloody red.
The scepter symbolizing the Pope's authority appeared out of thin air. Callisto grasped the extremely complicated and luxurious scepter and pointed it fiercely at the dark gap in front of him.
The blood-colored magic circle rose up instantly! It hung high from the bottom of the gap to the back of the gap.
Mysterious spells flashed violently, countless auras entangled and collided with each other, and the roar of a demon seemed to be constantly coming from the dark gap.
The strong wind lifted up Callisto's white robe, and her platinum hair flew up. Callisto's expression finally changed.
There was a chilling chill in his eyes, and he whispered, "How dare a mob act so recklessly in my territory?"
The Church, Kadifan, and even the Isaiah Continent——
Everything will be in Callisto's pocket, and even the gods cannot lay a hand on this continent.
Even the gods who were high above and looked down upon all living beings had to fall and die under his scheme, let alone the filthy monsters in the abyss?
Callisto stared at the gap and shouted, "Break!"
The blood-colored magic circle overlapped with the gap in an instant, and a loud noise was heard as Callisto's voice fell.
"Bang--"
The magic circle was instantly shattered into countless pieces, and at the same time, cracks suddenly appeared in the gaps that were bound and overlapped with it!
Callisto swallowed the blood flowing from his throat and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
The Basilica of the Holy Spirit, the Pope's prayer hall.
Callisto knelt before the statue with his eyes downcast.
There was a knock on the door behind him, and the knight outside the door whispered, "Your Majesty! Please report your order!"
"Enter."
The Knight of Judgement in black armor knelt on one knee respectfully, and when he saw that Callisto did not stand up, he lowered his head and bent body even lower.
"The news that the Kadifan Breach has been shattered has spread to all the temple churches, and the royal families of all empires have known about it."
Callisto nodded and stood up. He raised his eyes, glanced past the Knight of Judgement, and looked at the wall on the side that was covered by a curtain.
In the square prayer hall, there is a statue facing the gate, on the left is a floor-to-ceiling window that takes up the entire wall, and on the right is this dark red velvet curtain.
Callisto's gaze fell on the dark red curtain for a few seconds, and then turned back to the Knight of Judgement in black armor.
"How long do you think these royal families can hold out? Ten days? Three days? Or... tomorrow?"
The knight said he didn't know in embarrassment, and only insisted that everything would go according to Your Majesty's prediction.
Callisto didn't mind his joking answer and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. Go down now."
The Knight of Judgement was immediately flattered and left the prayer hall, unable to hide his excitement.
Silence returned to the hall.
——The Knights of Justice and the Inquisition, a particularly special existence in the Vatican, neither completely obeys the bishop nor the parliament.
But that is clearly a thing of the past.
Callisto withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the curtain on the right.
The curtain moved automatically without wind, and the next second it all fell down and piled on the ground, and the huge map under the dark red curtain was revealed.
On that huge map, hundreds of empires, large and small, were clearly marked, represented by three-dimensional king chess pieces of varying sizes.
At sunset, the last ray of sunlight shines into the inner room through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
The pure white statue was divided into yin and yang by the orange-red glow, with a line separating light and darkness.
Standing in the darkness, Callisto had an unclear expression on his face. He slowly reached out and grabbed the only chess piece standing in the glow at the moment.
call out--
The king chess piece was instantly turned into dust, and nothing was left.

"Boss! Do you want some Coke?" Canaan sat next to Lu Yi holding two glass bottles, and without saying a word, he pried open a bottle of Coke and handed it to him.
"Thank you."
Lu Yi closed the book in his hand, took the Coke and took a big gulp.
"Did you find any useful information about the Breach?" he asked.
"No, I've read the books you gave me twice, and the information about the gap is not new or useful." Canaan shook his head. "How is it going on your side?"
Lu Yi put down the Coke and said, "Same."
Ever since the fall of Mios and the first wave of Warcraft was brought out by the Gap, Lu Yi began to consciously collect information about the Gap and the Abyss.
The harvest was almost nothing.
The most recent riot period to the Abyss happened hundreds of years ago. Those who experienced it have all passed away, and there are only a few books that have been passed down to record it.
During this period of time, Lu Yi has read all the books and materials he could get his hands on, and even went back and forth to the Imperial Library and Genting Library several times, but gained very little.
"Lu Yi, do you think it is possible that if there really is a book that records how to deal with gaps, then this book is neither in the Magic Association nor in the library of an imperial royal family... but in the Vatican?" Canaan said seriously.
"When I was studying potions, I realized that the Church's monopoly on precious knowledge was extremely terrifying. Looking at the history of the Isaiah continent, the old empire collapsed and the new empire rose again. The Magic Association was only founded in the past few hundred years. Only the Church has a deep foundation and amazing background.
"If there really is such a book, I think it must be in the Vatican."
Lu Yi did not refute anything, he sighed and said: "...but this is also what I least want to see."
What would happen if the Vatican found a way to close the gap?
Lu Yi was unwilling to think deeply.
Today, as the contradiction between the Holy See and the Empire grows, he does not want to see either the Holy See or the Empire finding a way to close the gap.
If he had to choose, he would prefer the Magic Association to find a solution.
"At least in the face of death, all situations can be reversed, but once you die, there is really nothing left." Canaan whispered.
"Maybe there won't be such a book at all?" Lu Yi said with a wry smile.
All these assumptions are based on the premise that such a book really exists. But if there is no such book, then a large number of ordinary people on the continent of Isaiah can simply give up struggling, go to bed, and welcome death sooner or later.
Jianan opened another bottle of Coke, drank the whole bottle, and said calmly, "There's nothing we can do. Let's die together. We won't be lonely anymore."
"What do you mean by loneliness?" Flo walked into the small study room suspiciously.
"I can hear you yelling about loneliness from a long distance away, Canaan, I'm warning you, don't lead our Chief Lu Yi astray! Do you hear me?"
As the president of Lu Yi's Fan Club, it is her responsibility to make sure our chief is not kidnapped!
Canaan immediately raised his hands and shouted, "It's unfair, Mr. Deputy, I was just discussing a book with the boss. In the face of death, loneliness and solitude are just imaginary concepts that cannot be explored!"
Flo was skeptical and said, "Oh, is that so? I didn't expect that you would be interested in literary books like this besides potion theory. It seems that I underestimated you."
The conversation between these two funny guys dispelled some of the gloom in Lu Yi's heart, and a hint of smile finally appeared in his blue eyes.
At an angle that Lu Yi didn't notice, Canaan and Flo both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Flo, is there something that makes you come to us at this time?" Lu Yi asked.
"Yes, there is something." Flo nodded, and said with a rather strange expression: "This afternoon is the first game of the freshman competition. Chief, you didn't forget it, did you?"
Lu Yi suddenly froze and asked: "...What time is it now?"
Oops! He was so engrossed in reading that he completely forgot about the freshman competition!
Jianan held his hand with the watch on it and nodded affirmatively: "If your watch is accurate, it's already 1:25!"
After saying that, Canaan kindly reminded: "The first draw for the freshman competition will start at 1:30."
"Oh, poor little Lulton! Didn't he come specially yesterday to help the Chief organize the books?" Flo sighed.
"Well, who said it wasn't true? The person he wanted to see the most didn't come. I can't imagine how sad Lulton will be!" Canaan added insult to injury.
Thanks to Lu Yi, they have become very familiar with the first-year prospective head prefect, and naturally they also know how close Lulton is to his cousin Lu Yi.
Lulton has repeatedly expressed his hope that Lu Yi can personally watch him win the freshman competition.
——"Last year, Brother Lu Yi won the freshman championship, and this year, the championship will also be Brother Lu Yi. This time, let me win it for you." Lulton said.
Thinking of Lulton's expectant expression, Lu Yi immediately left without looking back.
"Goodbye, everyone. I'll be leaving first!"
"What time is it now?" Lulton asked, staring straight ahead.
This direction is opposite to the small villa area where the chief lives, and is also the direction of the student conference building. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Yi will most likely come from this direction.
The little follower standing behind Lulton immediately responded, "Your Highness Lulton, it's already 1:28! There are only two minutes left before the freshman match starts!"
"Good, good, good! Good job!" Lulton laughed out of anger, but his eyes were glued to the front and couldn't move away.
Liar! Lu Yi is a complete liar! He cheated him again! Lulton thought bitterly.
He promised more readily than anyone else, but now? Not even a shadow of him can be seen!
"Your Highness, can I go check the notice board for you now? Your opponent will be announced soon!"
"Look at the notice board?" Lulton sneered, "What's there to see?"
If he had known earlier, he should have dragged Lu Yi here directly to avoid waiting in vain!
"Lulton!"
A familiar voice came along with a familiar figure in front of him. Lulton's expression changed instantly, and he said with an exceptionally bright smile: "Brother Lu Yi! I'm here!"

Darkening? No! Kaka is originally white and black
