Chapter 254 Deadly Enemy
It's an amazing experience to be "back" into your body again.
The head and tail that were so light a second ago became heavy, and even the line of sight seemed to become more solid.
Lu Yi shook his tail uncomfortably, turned to lean towards Lulton's bed, and reached out to poke his cheek.
Lulton hadn't woken up yet, and his brows were furrowed as if he had dreamed about something.
Lu Yi stretched out two fingers to pull his furrowed brows, trying to force them back into place.
He seemed to have never looked at Lulton so closely before, and even though people had said from time to time that they looked alike, it was not until this moment that he realized the extent of the similarity in a more concrete way.
There was once a life that had been closely attached to him since it had just sprouted. They had the same parents and were twins with highly similar genes.
What a wonderful existence life is.
Lu Yi gently placed his forehead against Lulton's.
In this world, he has a father and a mother, brothers and sisters, friends and teachers, 857... and Ares. Many of the obsessions and regrets that he once harbored have been quietly filled.
Lu Yi thought, maybe this world is not bad after all.
Lulton woke up the next day.
After waking up, Lulton looked at his tail in silence. He raised his eyes and saw Lu Yi's fish tail. He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked thoughtfully, "What happened? Why am I here?"
Lena briefly explained to him the matter of mermaid blood, but she omitted the part about Lu Yi's true identity.
Lulton was thoughtful. He tried to swim forward with his tail, but unexpectedly found that he was particularly compatible with this mermaid tail, as if he was born to use a fish tail instead of human legs.
He had never felt so relaxed. All his old illnesses suddenly disappeared completely and weakness no longer followed him.
Lulton swam freely in the vast seabed, the sea water wrapped around his whole body. The flow of water was like the wind on land, lifting his golden hair and brightening his blue eyes.
When he returned to the group, Lulton was still not satisfied and looked at Lena and Lu Yi with bright eyes.
"I……"
Lulton wanted to describe the miraculous changes that had taken place in himself, but he burst into tears when he opened his mouth.
He had been dragging this heavy and tired body for too long, and this kind of physical freedom was so wonderful to him that it even made him cry for joy.
Lena looked at him and just felt sad.
This child who was born weak and deficient, the one left behind because of his thinness, showed such a happy and carefree smile for the first time. A healthy body was just common to his twin brother, but for him it was a luxury that could not be forced.
"Lulton is awake too, so it's a good opportunity for us to solve their bloodline problems together." Sairen lightly pressed Lena's shoulder and changed the subject.
Lu Yi continued, "Yes, let's finish early and go back early. I'll have to work like a slave to apologize for missing such an important event as the general election."
The number one fanboy Lulton was instantly anxious, "Oh, and there is still the finals! What should we do about the finals!"
Lu Yi shrugged, "The finals will most likely not be delayed because of one person. By the time we return, it should have been settled. I just don't know how the Heart of the Sea and the Mirror will determine the final result."
In the three rounds of competition, Braceside won the first round easily. In the third round of the melee, without Lu Yi against the group of light wizards from Saint Dover, there is a high probability that he will not end up well. So the success or failure depends on the win or loss in the second round.
"No! This championship should have been ours! Let's quickly solve that bloodline issue. Maybe we can still make it to the final round."
Sairen interrupted at the right time, "I have already talked to Elder Hicks..."
-
"It's very difficult... well, very difficult."
Hicks, with gray hair at the ends, held a crystal ball in his hand, his expression changing several times, sometimes frowning, sometimes looking at the two mixed-race mermaids in front of him with confusion.
Lu Yi and Lulton looked at each other and followed Hicks' instructions, performing some simple movements such as running, jumping, and bending over.
"The reason why the mermaids are so resistant to intermarriage with outsiders is to maintain the purity of their bloodline. Another reason is the special nature of mermaid blood.
"Mixed races are supposed to be the result of a harmonious blend of two races, but mermaids are not like that. Mermaids have special talents, which are related to the soul, a special and unique existence. Therefore, mermaid blood is overbearing and extremely weak at the same time, and cannot compete with the blood and talents of other races.
“They cannot coexist and are not self-consistent.
"When it meets the strong, it becomes weak; when it meets the weak, it becomes strong. If it is combined with a strong bloodline like the dragon race, the mermaid blood will be severely suppressed and cannot be released, but there will be no problem. But it happens that the human race is so fragile...
"On the day when your talent explodes, the mermaid blood will try to devour every bit of your human body, and one side will flourish while the other side will perish. But how can this be a simple game of occupying land? The hybrid bodies born in human shells simply cannot withstand the swallowing of all the mermaid blood! There is only one outcome waiting for these hybrids... exploding and dying!
"Even if he had grown up in the reef, he wouldn't have developed to the point where he is now."
Hicks said this with a look of regret.
He has such an amazing talent, but he is hindered by this weak human body!
"…What should we do?" Sairen felt his heart shattered when he heard that. "There must be a way, Elder Hicks, Lu Yi can't be the first hybrid of a mermaid and a human!"
“Indeed, it’s not. However, those human hybrids hardly live to see the day when their merman talents explode.”
Lian Na seemed to have grasped the last straw and said anxiously: "Almost nothing means something has happened, right?!"
"It's hard to say. Maybe it's just a fantasy, a made-up story. You know, those cunning humans always have to give some excuses and hope to promote what they want to see." Hicks shook his head.
"All I can do now is to temporarily stabilize the active mermaid blood in their bodies. As for the rest, it depends on whether the Sea God is willing to let them live."
Hicks crushed the crystal ball in his hand, and the strangely textured crystal residue flickered.
He walked slowly towards the inner room, "I'm going to prepare the materials for the ceremony. It will probably take two days. You can take the two kids back first."
…
…
Katifan, the Grand See.
Inside the white prayer hall of the tower, Callisto gently closed the tall door.
The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window that occupied the entire wall were drawn, and the morning light poured into the hall at sunrise and also fell on the statue in the center.
The statue stretched out its neck, looking both sad and happy.
The dark red velvet curtain that was originally hung on the wall on the other side had long since disappeared, leaving only a huge map that silently witnessed the ever-expanding territory of the Holy See.
The flags of the Holy See were planted all over the land. One after another, continuous curves stretched out from Katifan. These curves were connected to each other, forming a huge net that tightly encircled the entire Isaiah continent.
Under the shadow of war and death, faith is approaching its peak.
The believers of light fear death, but because of the Holy See and a casual word from Callisto, they can be rejuvenated with new vitality and face death without fear of any threats.
"My Lord of Light..."
Callisto walked around the thick cushion and reached out to touch the cold statue.
He stole the power of the gods and used his demigod body to spy on the rules that govern the world.
After the last gap from the abyss was sealed, Callisto could clearly sense that the rules restricting the gods from outer space had reached their limit.
This is the worst of times, and the best of times.
And now is the best time in this best era.
The supreme Pope of Light, Callisto, bathed in the sunlight and slowly forced a smile.
"My Lord is light."
-
Callisto finished his prayers and changed into the gorgeous and complicated papal robe with the help of many nuns.
In order to encourage believers and people, Callisto has been preaching in the Temple Square of the Vatican City of Kathi in recent days.
It has been a long time since he became Pope and delivered such a formal and lengthy sermon.
Callisto is well versed in how to drive believers. When it comes to the common believers, who are the largest in number but also the lowest in level, he has to be moderate in his intimacy and compassion, or rather, be stingy with them.
The harder and rarer the treasure is, the more precious it is. The same is true for faith. If feedback can be obtained easily and casually, how can the uniqueness and majesty of the Holy See of Light be demonstrated?
The prerequisite for giving a sweet date is to hit it with a stick.
The time for preaching was undoubtedly a loss for Callisto, but in such special times, appropriate losses could be allowed.
After all, the effect of Pope Callisto's personal sermons was extremely obvious. The Plaza de Lumina was packed 24 hours a day, every sermon was packed, and there was nowhere to sit. The enthusiasm of the believers soared, and the enthusiasm for the Holy See was unprecedented.
Donning full papal regalia is a time-consuming and cumbersome task.
Callisto closed his eyes and let the nun take action, while listening to the personal guard knight who was kneeling on one knee beside him reporting the recent battle report.
“…”
"…Your Majesty, everything is progressing as you envisioned. At this rate, it won't be long before the glory of the Church fills the entire Isaiah continent!"
Callisto nodded slightly.
Lu Yi's name circled in his mind for a few times, and Callisto asked: "How is Xinshengli?"
"Everything is going smoothly as planned. No one can escape."
Callisto subconsciously rubbed the huge gem on his thumb with his fingertips.
"How is Bryside?" Callisto's eyes flickered. "Has Luy Klein woken up?"
The guard lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice: "Viscount Lu Yi is still unconscious and has not woken up."
There is no room for maneuver anymore.
Perhaps when Lu Yi wakes up, what they will face is a complete confrontation to the death.
They will be——
Deadly enemy.
Callisto thought that maybe such a relationship between mortal enemies was not bad.
He grew up in the mud and knew deeply the incredible power of hatred. Hatred lasts much longer than love.
If Lu Yi wants to hate him, then go ahead and hate him.
I hate him so much that I want to gouge out his bones and scrape off his flesh. I hate him so much that I want to be entangled with him for eternity.
