Like a miracle, Adrian looked at his arm in astonishment as the purple scars slowly faded until they disappeared completely, revealing perfectly intact skin.
He no longer cared about Vili; instead, he cautiously reached out a finger to touch it, afraid it was just an illusion. Then, he tentatively pinched himself, using the pain to confirm its reality.
When he remembered the boy again, the boy was already sitting calmly on the edge of the bed, reading a book.
“...Vili.”
He called the other person's name softly, as if afraid that if he spoke too loudly, the boy would shatter.
Willie's mood wasn't exactly good.
"I have only temporarily balanced the magic within you. If you mobilize too much magic power again, its balance will be broken."
The magicians in this world are completely different from those in his world, and he hasn't yet found a way to solve the problem at its root, which makes him very unhappy.
In just a few days, he encountered two problems that he couldn't solve, which was a major setback in his magician career!
Adrian smiled and shook his head.
"It doesn't matter."
In response to Willy's question, he added:
"In fact, the solution lies within the Pope's scepter."
Willie snapped the book shut, his eyes lighting up.
Tell me about it.
Adrian nodded obediently and sat down next to Vili, who casually moved aside to make room for him.
Adrian's lips curved upwards even further.
"According to the History of the Pope of Serdos, at the beginning of the nation's founding, the pope was not actually a light mage, but a chaos mage."
"A so-called Chaos Mage is a mage whose body simultaneously possesses both light and dark magic."
"Because the Pope's mission is not to fight darkness, but to maintain balance."
That was a novel idea, and Willy perked up his ears.
"People generally believe that Celdos is a follower of the God of Light, but in reality our god is His father, the creator of the universe—the chief god."
"..."
Il, who had been dozing off, suddenly sat up and froze in place.
Adrian looked over, but Vili blocked his view with his hand.
"It might be acting strangely, don't worry about it."
"You continue."
"……good."
"The Lord God is the father of both light and darkness, and He does not favor either side. Therefore, as His apostle, the Pope will also carry out His will."
"If light increases, darkness will increase, and vice versa."
"Therefore, the first pope must have been a chaos mage."
"But with the development of the times, war and disease, violence and chaos, the original canon was lost, and the religion of Seldos has developed into what it is today."
"People blindly believe that light is the best, and only a magician of light can become the Pope."
"But few people know that within the scepter passed down through generations of popes, there is a book of chaos magic."
"Once I get that, my problem will no longer be a problem."
Vili pursed his lips, seemingly lost in deep thought, while Adrian didn't rush him, but quietly admired him.
After a while, Willy woke up with a start, looked around blankly, and swept his slightly long bangs to one side.
"Oh, you're still here?" Vili glanced at Adrian. "It's getting dark, you should go back."
"Use it and then throw it away?"
A hint of hurt flashed in Adrian's eyes, but Vili decisively ignored it and pushed him toward the door.
After pushing the person out the door, he remembered something else.
"By the way, when you become Pope, let me take a look at your scepter."
"good."
Adrian nodded casually, making no mention of the rule that only the Pope himself could touch the scepter.
The next second, the image of the beautiful young man in his eyes was replaced by a cold door.
Adrian lingered for a while longer before slowly turning and leaving.
It seems this crisis has passed peacefully once again, and those cardinals who coveted his position must be quite disappointed.
Is this also the so-called blessing of the supreme deity?
—Forget it, I don't believe in any gods.
Only the power in your hands is real.
I envy Aiden. As a fellow heir to the highest position, he is the only choice, while I still have so many rivals eyeing me covetously.
And he's still occupying the position of Vili's fiancé...
It's really an eyesore.
On the other side.
Vili has already begun discussions with Il.
"What's wrong with your so-called supreme god?"
As expected, the cat shook its head so hard it almost fell off.
"I...I don't know! The main god only told us to bind to the host and keep completing tasks, he never said anything like that!"
"So you don't know why He wants you to do these things?"
Il continued to shake his head.
"Um……"
Willie lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his tone hesitant.
"I do have a guess..."
"When a magician reaches the highest point, he will discover one thing: the world is conscious."
His voice was a little soft, as if he was afraid of waking something.
After signing the contract with the system, he blocked the spying from the main god, because he was just one of thousands of systems and the other party would not notice him.
But he still subconsciously lowered his voice.
"But after I traveled to this world, I found that I couldn't sense the consciousness of this world."
