Chapter 812: The Furious Pomponazzi
It was a hostility so intense and pure it was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
The moment Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazzi felt murderous intent in his heart, Aleister felt his scalp tingling.
Her heart seemed to be grabbed by someone...
Suddenly, Aleister reacted.
——No, that’s not an illusion.
Just looking at the angry Red-faced Peng Bonazi, her heart was about to explode!
The next moment, Aleister's body suddenly disintegrated into many illusory bats, and gathered again from the back.
She stretched out her right hand, and brilliant rainbow ice quickly grew and shaped from her palm, section by section, forming a translucent parasol made of rainbow ice.
Aleister held the umbrella over his head, slightly blocking his view.
The light overhead shone through the colorful ice umbrella, just like sunlight filtering through the stained glass of a church, casting a star-studded rainbow light on the lower half of Aleister's face and even his entire upper body.
As Aleister gently turned the umbrella handle with one hand, the rainbow-colored starry sky reflected on her body also spun rapidly.
"Why, are you anxious?"
Aleister remained calm and said, "Did I hit a sore spot? I apologize."
"—After all, we, the Sons of the Moon, have our souls bound to this immortal body. We cannot journey to the Dream World unless we ascend to perfect form.
"But you are lucky..."
Aleister's lips curled up slightly as she lifted her umbrella. The lingering rainbow light, along with the purple glow, reflected in her pupils. In the slightly dim atmosphere, her eyes seemed so bright—
Those purple eyes without glasses were shining with a rainbow-colored glow like the starry sky.
"If you weren't born the Son of the Moon, perhaps Valentine I could have met 'another you' in the dream world..."
Aleister lowered his umbrella and used it as a shield to block the wine bottles and tables thrown at him by the Red Prime Minister Pomponazzi in anger.
And the sharp words still continued to come out of her mouth.
"—the 'real' you, the real Pomponazzi."
The tall, black-haired girl lowered her ice umbrella and opened her eyes again. Her pupils, which had once reflected the rainbow light, now shone with a pure purple glow.
At this moment, Pomponazzi kept throwing the wine glass and paused.
A layer of eerie rainbow ice spread across his skin, and his pupils became completely empty for a moment.
Pomponazzi, he saw—
He saw himself slaying Lady Bayard here after a fierce and difficult battle, and then burying her ashes in holy water to destroy them. He also witnessed the completion of the Tail Ring ritual, and the Fallen Angel was indeed pulled down by the demonologists. He also gained power from the ritual, thus reaching the sixth level and completing the ritual of perfection.
He saw himself becoming a perfect man—completely different from the shameful and incompetent perfect man of the Theocracy, and he had gained unparalleled power.
He became the king of the world and rebuilt the Herasil Empire. Decades passed in a flash, and soon he felt bored again. So, relying on his perfect body, he stepped directly into the dream world. After a long and difficult adventure, he found his best friend again.
The only one who could understand him, the only one who could walk with him.
Neither despise him nor ridicule him, neither worship him nor blindly follow him. A friend who treats him as an equal, the one who cannot be forgotten...
"Valentin I, Bashir Valentine. Knight of the Stone, Creator of the Stars..."
Peng Bonazi sighed softly and walked forward slowly: "As promised in the past, I have put on the crown and become the king of this world..."
He has now become an apostle of the Huantian Division, with a golden halo on his head and a handsome appearance like a celestial being.
He was no longer as stubborn and willful as he was when he was old and dying, and no longer as annoying as an ordinary person, but had returned to the way he was in his youth.
That was his best time.
Pomponazzi's desires were immense, and as a fusion of his family's six personalities, he was inherently bisexual. Yet, he remained silent on Bashir, whose life lay in his own hands.
Because Pomponazzi had a premonition that once he took action against him, the relationship between them would change.
In order to preserve that "feeling"... and to keep in mind the memories of their youth when they founded the country together, he always kept his distance from Bashir.
And now...
Valentine I heard the voice and turned slightly.
He looked at Pomponazzi, his eyes filled with doubt and alienation that frightened him.
Apostle Bashir asked the question in a somewhat confused but polite manner.
"...Excuse me, do we know each other?"
In that instant, a feeling of suffocation and terror overwhelmed Peng Bonanzi. He felt as if he were frozen in ice, drowning in the sea. He even forgot how to breathe or think. A slight numbing sensation of cold spread from his spine throughout his body, making his fingers creak with every twitch.
——No, that’s not true!
An extremely strong feeling of rejection arose in Peng Bonazi's heart.
He was absolutely convinced that everything before his eyes was fake.
Since I will never make a mistake, then the world must be wrong!
Anger, fury, even madness—the rage that burned his mind spread wildly, but his brain became extremely clear again.
He retraced those things he had previously overlooked, one by one, memories of decades and centuries past flashing through his mind in the blink of an eye. Finally, he caught a glimpse of a detail that felt out of place.
——Why did Black Phase not take action when he killed Bayard in the Spirit Tower?
Because that old guy's presence was so low, and he never took action, I often forgot about his existence. But now thinking back, this obviously didn't make sense.
In other words, it is the "possible error" that one subconsciously avoids in order to survive reasonably.
If he fought with Lady Bayard in the Spirit Tower, he would most likely be killed by the Black Phase in the end.
That day was the day of the Winter Maiden's ascension, and the heavy snowfall significantly weakened the Moon Child's immortality. Furthermore, that was inside the Spirit Tower, the old skeleton's home turf. If he planned to fight straight to the end, he would most likely be killed...
——It was for this reason that I [hoped] that Hei Xiang would not take action.
It was precisely because I longed for that ending that a more reasonable ending did not appear!
Everything before my eyes is just a dream.
Then wake up!
"Bayard..."
A deep sound like that from the abyss emanated from the completely solidified red ice sculpture.
A creaking sound was heard - the rainbow ice sculpture made a noise but did not break.
Peng Bonazi, who was frozen in ice, suddenly opened his eyes!
"——Bayard!"
His scarlet eyes stared directly at Lady Bayard outside the ice, and a vague voice like a ghost's whisper rolled in his throat: "I'm back!"
"oh?"
Aleister looked at the red image that had been frozen by him but had suddenly regained consciousness with great interest: "I thought you would be forever immersed in the illusion... What made you wake up? What made you realize that it was just nothingness?"
"—because I'm going to come back and kill you!"
Peng Bonazi exerted force again, and the rainbow ice shattered!
In an instant, countless pieces of ice as bright as stars were flying all over the sky!
He no longer concealed his murderous intent—his entire body dissolved like an evil spirit, transforming into a two or three meter tall scarlet water elemental giant, and pounced towards Aleister!
The corrosive blood destroyed everything it passed by, and a sea of blood more than ten times its own volume surged out of its body, filling the entire room in an instant!
Aleister was about to retreat, but blood oozed out of the wall behind her in the blink of an eye, then solidified into a wall full of spikes. It instantly flew backwards, knocking Aleister directly to the side of the Blood Giant!
The immortality of the Moon Child is meaningless to the higher-ranking Moon Child.
But just as the Blood Giant was about to reach out and crush Aleister, merging him directly into his body...
But he noticed that there was no fear or worry on Aleister's face.
In an instant, alarm bells rang in Peng Bonazi's heart.
——At this moment, a dim yellow light suddenly flashed by.
Time seems to have stopped here.
And when the dim light faded away, Aleister, who was originally flying backwards, disappeared out of thin air!
