Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 423

Chapter 423: Chapter 209: The Coffin Man Chapter 423: Chapter 209: The Coffin Man Outside the Vatican, Captain China and Tripitaka had watched the fierce battle in the skies above unfold from beginning to end, exchanging incredulous looks. They hadn't expected to witness such an unorthodox fight here, let alone such an outcome.

The Holy See finally demonstrated their formidable strength, a powerful legacy of controlling the Western World for over a thousand years. Their ultimate guardians were still in existence, safeguarding the security of the Holy See. The individual capable of controlling lightning had appeared in historical records before, but no one expected that person to still be alive, seemingly even closer to her full potential now. Her strength had always been formidable, with particularly enigmatic lightning powers; nobody wished to combat someone shrouded in such electrical energy, making her a troublesome figure.

What surprised them even more was that the Destroyer and his Fighter Jet piloting comrade were able to escape from the clutches of the lightning controller. They even managed to destroy the Vatican Museum right under the nose of the lightning controller. Having never personally witnessed the Destroyer's combat prowess before, Captain China and Tripitaka were highly impressed by experiencing it firsthand. Unaware that it was actually Yan Fei himself controlling the Drone, they thought it had been the Destroyer's comrade piloting it. That the Destroyer, with his innate realm strength, could temporarily stand against a veteran God-Level Expert and even make a full escape, left them utterly astonished.

However, they felt somewhat disappointed; they had hoped that the Destroyer would infiltrate the Vatican and steal a particular item, allowing them to take advantage of the situation. But instead, the battle had drawn out the Holy See's ultimate guardian force, and in the end, the Destroyer managed to make an escape aboard his Fighter Jet. They didn't even know if the Destroyer had succeeded in his heist, let alone have an opportunity to swoop in for the spoils. And with the Holy See protected by the lightning controller, they couldn't have taken that special item of the Holy See even if they had made their move.

The individual who stood upon the electrical snake had been full of confidence, certain she had everything under control. However, she was distracted by the Missiles launched by the Drone, which ultimately succeeded in destroying the Vatican Museum, and even managed to carry away the thief. Furious, she looked up to the sky and let out a silent howl. As she raised her Magic Wand, the dark cloud in the sky quickly disappeared, but the sky suddenly filled with countless lightning bolts. These bolts struck various targets on the ground below, leading to a series of screams around the Vatican.

Even Captain China and Tripitaka, who had been enjoying the commotion, were each struck by a bolt of lightning, but they simply waved their hands to scatter the bolts aside. However, those on the ground they had previously knocked out were revived by the same electrical strikes, including the one Tripitaka had turned into a vegetative state. Upon waking and realizing their abnormal condition, they inspected their surroundings, saw the eerie emptiness, and were scared out of their wits, quickly making their escape. Elsewhere, the forces previously encircling the Vatican in a pincer movement had all been struck by lightning, remaining unconscious and scattered across the ground.

Once the clouds had completely dissipated, the last electrical snake in the sky swiveled its tail, flickered several times, and vanished into the distant horizon, the mysterious lightning controller no longer in sight. If not for the people injured by the lightning still lying unconscious on the ground, nobody would have known of her existence.

The Vatican Museum was hit by Drone Missiles, with a large hole now gaping in the centre of its roof. Unbeknownst to onlookers, the collapsing floors had crushed the underground natural gas pipelines, causing a massive leak. The leaked gas, accumulating and ignited by the occasional sparks amongst the ruins, then erupted in a cataclysmic explosion. A tremendous flame soared into the sky, illuminating Rome City as if it were day.

The natural gas explosion was immensely powerful, shattering the windows of nearby houses with its blast wave. Wide cracks also appeared across the ground, eerily reminiscent of an earthquake…

Beneath the Mediterranean Sea surface, the Drone was carefully hiding in an ocean trench.

After a long flight from the Suez Canal exit to the waters near Rome the previous night, coupled with the night's brief but intense combat exertion, the Drone's Energy Points were now nearly depleted. All it could do was hide in the trench, waiting for the data to refresh.

Having flawlessly completed tonight's plan, Yan Fei felt a surge of joy. He retrieved the Papal Scepter from the Universal Space, and holding it in his hands, he perceived nothing unusual about it. It appeared to be an ordinary object, indistinguishable from other scepters, its reputation as the Papal Scepter and its immense influence stemming solely from its representation of the Pope.

Yan Fei played with the Papal Scepter for a while, then removed the spherical orb at its tip and examined it closely, finding nothing that distinguished it from any other ordinary orb. However, when he tried to store the spherical orb in the Universal Space, a message immediately came through from the Auxiliary Brain — “Upgrade Essential Items found, total count 3/3.”
