Chapter 760 The birth of Yan Tiansi!
As expected, the policemen driving the "cordon" did not dare to cross the real cordon left by Aleister.
When Aleister returned to the surface, there was still no one in the dilapidated house.
She cautiously extended her hand, signaling the talkative Mirror Demon to be silent, and then drew a rune in the air.
Then, the simple, material-free ritual of the first level, "Watch the Wind," was activated. The sounds from outside, carried delicately by the wind, reached Aleister's ears. Using this ritual with his fourth level ability, Aleister could easily hear conversations a street away, even without a soundproof barrier.
"……snort."
She listened carefully for a long time, then narrowed her eyes slightly: "These goblins... really deserve to be beaten."
Although she had long known that goblins were immoral, it was only now that she heard the story of the first person involved.
Aleister once again realized the gap in underlying execution between Avalon and Star Antimony.
Although the upper class is corrupt and decadent, the supervisors and inspectors under Avalon still believe in the legends of knights when the country was founded.
If faced with such a situation, they would charge in with a determination to die—indeed, many Overseers had perished in this very act. For them, dying for the Queen, for Avalon, was a supreme honor. For a knight uncorrupted by Lloyd's, honor far outweighed life.
Even the son of a minister can die to protect the people - regardless of whether this death is worthwhile, at least there is no problem with the heart.
But for the Xingti police, this was just a job. They didn't have the determination and faith to die for the Queen, they just did their job for a penny...because Count Leipzig paid them, so they obeyed Count Leipzig.
Compared to the noble "people's police", these star-level security police are more like the private guards of local nobles.
Unlike Avalon, the Theocracy, and even Iris, these police officers had no concept of protecting civilians. Even the youngest, untouched by society, female police officers simply wanted to "enforce justice."
"Pope's mercy..."
Aleister murmured softly, repeating the old man's devout prayer.
For a moment, Aleister was touched.
His Holiness the Pope... is indeed merciful. The old man was right... If Aiwass knew about their problems, he would definitely intervene. Aleister was confident of this.
So Aleister first uploaded this part of his memory, along with the matter of Anna Kingsford, to the cloud, intending to see what Aiwass had to say.
She became increasingly aware that although they were the same person a week ago...the differences were becoming greater and greater.
Fortunately, she did not inherit the name Aiwass, but gave herself a new name, so as not to cause self-confusion. She could firmly believe that Aiwass was a sacred soul sleeping on the top of the holy tree of the Church from beginning to end, and not an ambitious man like herself who was eager to cause chaos in the world.
And soon, Aiwass's will was conveyed.
"—Find a way to help them, Aleister. An economic crisis of this magnitude, left unchecked, could spread worldwide. It seems the deaths following the Fallen Angels' arrival may have also included a significant number of civilians who 'died of poverty.' This data was obscured by the Fallen Angels' arrival after the war... But now that we're here, we can't let Star Antimony be destroyed again and that one-third of its population be wiped out.
"Save those who can—in addition to those in need, we must also protect these civilians as much as possible. Although the Star Antimony upper echelons once attempted to invade Avalon, these civilians are innocent. Even the capitalists who run the factories are now so impoverished, how much more suffering must the actual Star Antimony civilians endure?
"However, the old man is also wrong in one respect—not to mention humans, even lizardmen, dwarves, and even trolls are the same. Since we see them and can help, we should intervene. If you have a heart, can you just watch them starve to death?"
Aiwass's voice rang clearly in Aleister's mind: "As for the specific details, don't ask me about everything - I believe you. As the secret words of the twin mirror say, you are me and I am you...
"If you need any support from me, remember to ask for it at any time and don't be too aggressive. The Ouroboros Ritual is being prepared, and all the fifth-level transcendents in the world are moving towards Star Antimony... Even if you are safe with the protection of the Night Demon, it is best not to start a fight in a busy city. As for Kingsford, you can contact him if you have time. I'm a little curious.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. The Papal Guards on the Theocracy's side might be difficult to mobilize, but the entire Nine Pillars Church of Xingti is your power—do whatever you want.
"I'll accept you no matter what."
"……snort."
Aleister raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied with a "1" lightly.
With Aiwass's words, she finally understood.
Although Aiwass nags her a lot, like a teacher pulling her aside to have a heart-to-heart talk, worried that she will take the wrong path in life, after a rough translation, Aleister knows Aiwass's true order -
——Using all means to help the Xingti people solve the economic crisis can mobilize the power of the church.
"I originally wanted to avoid causing trouble for Aiwass and use the power of the Moon Child myself..."
Aleister sighed. "In the end, we still have to rely on him. How ironic, letting a Transcendent and the Son of the Moon lead the Church..."
However, having said that, the power of the Moon Child can still be utilized.
Rather, because of the deaths of Count Dawn and Alphonse von Pilotti, it is likely that the Moon Children and the Society will really fight this time.
The Society had already been battling the Alchemists for months, suffering heavy losses, and now they had lost a rare fifth-level energy master, the one most effective against the Moon Child.
Originally, the Red Prime Minister needed to have his "children"—such as Emma and Count Leipzig—infiltrate the Academy and become double agents known to both sides. But now, that's probably no longer necessary.
There are only five or six fifth-level demon incarnations in this land. Emma and Earl Dawn are both dead. There are only a few left... I'm afraid the Red Prime Minister is going to take action against them.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Aleister can also contact the church to make operations...
Thinking of this, Aleister leaned against the broken mirror and returned to Prince Szijjártó's residence with the Night Demon.
Tomorrow she had a whole day to write a detailed action report. Tomorrow night, she planned to drink some wine and go to Isabel in her dreams to talk about the stars, the economy, and indirectly about the bottle of liquid soul.
If possible, Aleister really didn't want to take back what she had given away. The mere thought of it made her cheeks burn... and after all, it belonged to Isabel. If she didn't seem to want it, Aleister would never force her or beg her.
And this early morning, Aleister has another thing to do——
“——Bang!”
She asked the Night Demon, Mirror Demon and Honey Badger to guard the door, then arranged a protective ritual and carefully opened the crystal ball at Earl Dawn's place.
Although Aleister was much more capable than Aiwass, she was by no means a reckless person. She would only proceed with full preparation before attempting anything.
The crystal ball shattered in half, and the foul black blood within spilled out like a cracked raw egg. The air still stank of strong liquor; this was clearly a sealing ritual using alcohol as its core ingredient.
But when Aleister carefully touched the liver, she still saw no reaction - the system panel did not pop up, indicating that it was not a piece of equipment.
However, when Aleister touched it, he felt a surge of power calling him. It was completely different from the strong impulse he felt when he touched Sister Sasha's eyeball...
To describe it, the latter is similar to the thirsty feeling of "suddenly wanting to drink ice cola or eat cold drinks", which is several times stronger; while the former is like taking stimulants, with blood vessels all over the body pulsating vigorously -
No, that's not even a metaphor.
Aleister lowered his head and clearly saw the blood vessels in his arms beating rhythmically.
Her body temperature rose sharply, and the bass drum-like sound echoed and resounded in her head, then the water cup on the table, and then the windows in the whole room shook. It was like a huge army parading next door, or a giant stomping on the floor above.
When Aleister loosened his fingers, all the strange phenomena disappeared instantly.
If it weren't for the honey badger's astonished and confused look and the mirror golem's painful cries as if it had sprained something, Aleister would have even thought it was an illusion.
Such an overwhelming power of the path of love...
Far more powerful than the holy bones left behind by Sister Sasha.
——This is a liver that belongs to an apostle or even a celestial minister!
But with so many deities on the Path of Love, who exactly does it belong to? And why did Earl Dawn want to collect it? Is it related to the ritual he's about to perform?
Suddenly, Aleister burped, and the strong smell of alcohol escaped from her mouth. The strong dizziness made her legs go weak, and everything in front of her began to suddenly zoom in and out.
"Thanks, little girl! Hahahahaha!"
As a hearty laugh sounded in his mind, Aleister suddenly closed his eyes, fell into a sweet sleep with a smile on his lips, and his body fell unconsciously, but was quickly caught by the honey badger.
And at this moment, the moment Aleister touched the liver.
Aiwass, who was sleeping far away in the Theocracy, suddenly opened his eyes.
His pupils were devoid of expression, but instead overflowed with countless lights—
His soul, drifting between the material world and the dream world, had just felt an immensely powerful, unfamiliar force whizzing past. He felt his soul numbing, drifting like a drunk, and momentarily losing control. His body briefly lost control of his soul, and the power of the Holy Crown leaked out.
Aiwass finally managed to control his consciousness and regain control of his power. Aiwass in the material world also reluctantly closed his eyes again.
But that moment of intoxication had plunged the entire theocracy into a momentary blackout. A small turmoil of chaos arose and then subsided.
Outside the theocracy, a star in the sky suddenly became brighter.
The entire world, all the people who were drinking, no matter how much they drank, all fell into a state of drunkenness at the same time.
Their minds were in a frenzy of excitement, shouting meaninglessly as if they were celebrating something.
Soon, Pope Eternal Aiwass sent a holy message to all the cardinals.
"——The Banquet Master has been promoted. The Banquet Master is born."
