Chapter 855 Angels Arrive
Just being stared at by Aleister made Princess Noelle break out in a cold sweat.
Those scarlet eyes held a menacing power.
...Of course she knew that the "Big Snake" and the "Sun" were in the same group.
Because they weren't hiding at all.
With Noelle's ability to judge people, he could easily spot this. And once the other party knew he had killed the "Sun", they would most likely kill him immediately in anger in an attempt to revive the "Sun"...
After being shocked by the "Sun", Noelle has now completely regained consciousness.
She wasn't going to die.
But she would not completely turn to the other side just because she got rid of this wrong idea - she would not hesitate to conceal, lie, and act, do all kinds of unjust things to conceal her own crimes, and even deny the wrong things she had done, and even brainwash herself.
That would be too ugly.
Isn't she the same as Hong Xiang and the others?
What confidence and position does she have to righteously denounce them and call them a group of traitors!
Although Princess Noelle does not seek death now, she is not afraid of death!
She deliberately sent Lalo away and asked him to find the rest of the people... just so that she could tell the truth in front of the "big snake"!
She knew Lalo too well.
Lalo would accompany her into this promotion ceremony, most likely with the thought of death in mind.
Even though he was a jester who laughed and raged every day, his heart was always burning like fire. He would never watch the Star Antimony disintegrate like this...
If that was the inevitable future, he would end his life before the day when the star disintegrated.
——Given his personality, he would most likely take the responsibility of "killing the sun" on himself, thus protecting himself while dying.
To prevent Lalo from saying more, Princess Noelle said directly, "I met Mr. 'The Sun' in the first painting... and he sacrificed himself to complete that painting."
Noelle felt extremely nervous when she said this.
She was even ready to fight the mad Aleister!
Although she had already prepared herself to never hide the truth and be killed in revenge... But just as the "sun" said, even if she died, she would definitely fight to the death, and would never give up or retreat without a fight.
"……oh."
Unexpectedly, Aleister's reaction was not very intense.
It could even be said to be a bit cold: "Is that really the case..."
"...I thought you would kill me." The eldest princess was a little surprised.
"Because he will definitely take first place in the points and then be reborn from the divine light."
Aleister shook his head and said firmly, "Death is never the end for him, and the bodies of the living are just shackles to him."
She knew Aiwass too well.
After donning the papal crown, it took less than a month for his desire for devotion to be purified to this degree... For him, self-dedication was by no means a painful choice, but an irresistible instinctive impulse.
Just as Aleister was caught up in the urge to love and transcend... Aiwass's will to nothingness and desire for devotion must have reached its peak. His desire for self-destruction was so strong that if Aiwass couldn't find Aleister immediately, he would almost certainly die for others.
Dying early wouldn't be such a bad thing.
At least after dying once, you won't die again. Instead, you can concentrate on completing the mission.
She looked at the eldest princess Noelle steadily, and said in a subtle tone: "You... are very good.
"You didn't hide anything, but came directly to tell me all this. Perhaps Xingti can really be reborn in your hands."
"What if..."
Princess Noelle was still a little hesitant: "The final winner wasn't Mr. Sun... then..."
“—He will definitely win.”
Aleister said with great confidence, "I believe in his ability more than he does himself—he is someone who can break free from all constraints and transcend all fate."
Her eyes were bright and unwavering.
"If he ultimately fails to resurrect... I will definitely find a way to revive him. But no matter what, I will not vent my anger on the weak."
As he spoke, Aleister looked at the eldest princess Noelle, chuckled and said, “You can’t kill him, not even by sneak attack.
"Unless he willingly lets you kill him, there's no way you can kill him. In that case, even if your hands are stained with his blood, you're not his murderer. Even if I kill you, as long as he doesn't curse you, he won't be resurrected."
Staring at Aleister, whose face was beaming with joy and whose eyes were bright, Noelle suddenly felt a slight envy.
——At the same time, she felt an inexplicable fear.
Because she suddenly realized who that "sun" might be...
"...Do you love him?"
Noelle asked in a low voice.
"I love him as much as I love myself. Even more than I love myself."
Aleister said without hesitation.
At that moment, Noelle's pupils constricted.
Seeing the fear on her face, Aleister laughed: "Why, have you guessed who he is?
"Well, after all, everyone knows... I'm the Pope's mistress. It's not surprising that they could guess his identity."
"So that's... His Holiness the Pope..."
Noelle received confirmation from Aleister's words.
She, who wasn't even afraid of death, felt intense anxiety and fear at this moment: "If I had known earlier..."
"Why," Aleister sneered, "if you had known earlier, you would have let him kill you and win? Do you think our merciful and selfless Pope would accept such a victory?
“Or do you intend to use yourself as a favor to force him to rescue Xingti?
"Don't you even have the courage to face your own problems?"
Hearing Aleister's words, Princess Noelle seemed to hear the words spoken by the bloody "Sun":
"--Without the determination to win, how can you face all the difficulties in this world?
"——If you don't want me to crawl out of your corpse, then why don't you just try to live?
"--If I can't wake up, I will bless you in the dream world, ma'am."
Noelle opened her mouth.
After a long silence, she sighed from the bottom of her heart: "You two are so alike..."
"snort."
Aleister was very satisfied with Noelle's evaluation and just scoffed softly: "Of course."
At this moment, time stopped for a moment.
Here comes the sixth question.
Aleister looked at the question: "If the world ended tomorrow, what would you do—"
The three doors have different answers written on them.
【——Go back to the past and find a solution to the problem】
[——Follow your heart and leave no regrets before the end of the world]
【——Accept the future and rebuild the world after the end of the world】
Past, present, future.
"……Oh."
Aleister just smiled and didn't go to any door.
She folded her arms across her chest and closed her eyes, letting the countdown beneath her feet end and the three doors close.
——That’s right, she wouldn’t choose any of them.
How could it be possible that these were the only three options?
“The answer is in the question itself.”
Watching the time that was frozen change rapidly, Aleister looked up at the dim sky where time was frozen: "The end of the world... If such a thing really exists, why can't we just blow it up?
“It would be fine if we said we would find another way after being destroyed by the end of the world.
"The world hasn't ended yet—so what are you afraid of?
"If you don't try, how will you know that the road ahead is dead?"
Don't hit your head and bleed...
You just want me to give up resistance?
“——That doesn’t make sense!”
Aleister's eyes were bright and a crazy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the frozen time resumed, there was more than one person around her.
Besides the eldest princess... Lalo, dressed in a purple suit, a clown costume in another sense, also appeared beside her. There was also a man with scars all over his body, bare hands, long beard and hair - as strong as a lion.
All the living people must have been forced to gather here.
Just as the princess predicted, this clock tower does have special significance.
And from the sky not far away, there came a strong sense of oppression.
The people who suddenly appeared were all strong people - they were ready for battle in an instant and accepted the others as comrades.
"Oh, we're going to fight in a group after only the sixth question?"
Aleister's smile grew even brighter, and he looked up at the sky: "I want to see... what the Endless Knot is going to pull out."
——The next moment, the "angel" arrived.
It was an illusory human body that was glowing all over, with a huge thorn-shaped halo floating above its head.
It... or rather, His hair danced behind Him like tufts of light tentacles.
There is a purple-red ring behind it.
Its hands and feet melted into an amorphous mass, and its facial features were blurred. It wore a circular eye mask, and behind it were two pairs of enormous wings of light, forming a giant X-shape like a butterfly.
A strong sense of holiness enveloped the earth, and He was shrouded in a powerful divinity that judged everything. Just looking at Him would make one want to kneel down in worship.
"That's... the Pillar God Apostle!"
The eldest princess blurted out: "This must be the Endless Knot——!"
But looking at Him, Aleister's expression gradually became serious.
She didn't know why, but she felt a little nervous.
The angel in front of me... this Pillar God Apostle who looks a bit like a "Digimon".
It gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
——An extremely strong sense of familiarity.
