Chapter 700 Is the perfect person so bad? This shouldn't be the case.
March 6th.
Several days have passed since Aiwas Moriarty became the acting Pope of the Theocracy.
Even places a little further away have now heard of this unbelievable news.
While some remained pessimistic about the future of the Theocracy, the majority were optimistic. They might not have known Aiwass well enough, but the fact that a human could serve as Pope—even if only as Acting Pope for a six-month term—was a valuable precedent.
It signified the rise of humanity's status. As a short-lived civilization, humans were able to stand at the top of a noble race like the elves—this fact alone was enough to convince them to side with Aiwas.
So people became interested in Aiwass.
After investigations by both serious and unreliable newspapers, rumors about Aiwass, whether true or false, have become the biggest news in recent days - there are interviews about Aiwass defeating demons with a holy sword, as well as dense, varied and fascinating gossip.
Even the big news of Avalon's announcement of a ceasefire was cleverly covered up.
At this moment, Xingti, Red Castle.
Today's "famous prime minister" Peng Bonazzi rarely failed to play with the blood servants he raised.
Even in the past, when he held family meetings with his "children"... they were always in an unbridled, decadent and extravagant orgy of lust. But now, these star-studded moon children had no interest in it.
"The information has been reconfirmed."
Prince Heinrich, Count of Leipzig and the master of the city of knowledge, spoke gravely to the Red Prime Minister, saying, "The 'Perfect Man' did appear in the Theocracy and has now been defeated. I have confirmed this through four separate sources, and while the details vary, this point remains the same."
——Bang!
At this moment, Hong Xiang suddenly threw away the empty crystal wine glass, causing it to shatter into crystal sand on the open ground.
His garden, which resembled a palace—even more extravagant than a palace—was filled with men and women dressed in rich and noble attire, standing beside the pond. Their ages and clothing styles varied, but what they shared was scarlet eyes and beautiful faces.
But at this moment they were silent and dared not say a word.
"Don't you understand, Heinrich? I'm asking—what are the specific circumstances?"
Pomponazzi's voice came loudly.
His tone was sharp as a knife and anxious as fire, with none of his usual calmness, depth, and elegance visible.
But no Moon Child would look down on him because of this... because they were all equally frightened and confused.
“…which is consistent with previous rumors.”
Prince Heinrich, with his shiny golden slicked-back hair and scarlet pupils, did not react much to this.
He waved his hand and asked the noble girl with long straight black hair who was following him to hand the sealed document to Pomponazzi.
Pomponazzi cut open the document bag with his fingernails, took it out and flipped through it quickly.
In just a blink of an eye, he grasped all the key information in his mind.
——He used a powerful light spear spell, causing considerable trouble to the Eternal Pope.
——Another spell of his posed a death threat to the civilians of the two circles, but in the end no one died.
——He was defeated by one or all of the Eternal Pope, the new Acting Pope Aiwass, the "Honey Badger", and Cardinal Dominic, and is now completely shattered and fallen, or sealed.
——The possibility of him still existing in the world cannot be ruled out, but the Theocracy believes that he has lost his threat.
The battle lasted... a maximum of two minutes and ten seconds. There were no casualties, and the possibility that the Eternal Pope saved all the wounded remains unexamined.
“…less than three minutes.”
Peng Bonazi murmured softly, and his heart finally died in the anxiety.
Sure enough, it was consistent with the initial rumors.
Even a perfect person cannot fight against the Eternal Pope...
It is clearly the real sixth energy level, but it is not as good as the sixth energy level that was forcibly raised by the Holy Crown.
...No, it wasn't even that level of strength that was impossible to fight. Not many people even saw the aftermath of the battle, which showed that the Perfect Man's power was far less than they had expected.
——Strange, where is the power of creation?
According to research throughout the ages, a perfect person should have incomplete creative power!
If nothing else, at least they should be able to completely eliminate all the shortcomings of the Moon Children and even completely remove the werewolves' uncontrollable bestiality! Only by meeting these conditions can they be complete and perfect "Pillar God Creations", rather than the deformed monsters they are now!
If a perfect person obtains the power of creation, he should be able to erase all his weaknesses - weaknesses shouldn't even exist!
How could such a powerful, sixth-level Son of the Moon with immortality be completely defeated in less than three minutes?
According to intelligence, the "Perfect Man" only executed two moves. The first posed a considerable threat to the Pope, while the second displayed divine might... but then he was suddenly defeated.
Pomponazzi was puzzled.
What exactly happened?
As early as the day before yesterday, he had ordered the astrologers to perform divinations as soon as he received the news - however, because the Eternal Pope was personally involved in this incident, all the astrologers who tried to divine were backfired and their brains almost exploded on the spot.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. His emotions, as turbid as blood, made veins bulge on his forehead.
"——Trash! All of them are trash!"
Pomponazzi suddenly became angry and threw the documents to the ground.
His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "We can't capture Yulia, and we can't get her heart! I told you to go find Bayard, but you couldn't find him! Can you kill Aiwass? Even if he has advanced divine arts, he can't be killed, even if he's at the fourth level?"
"Well, the result is that they didn't kill her, and someone else became the Acting Pope! This was clearly an undercover operation, prioritizing secrecy, preferring mission failure to leaking intelligence, but somehow it became an assassination attempt on the Queen—it would have been fine, but before it even succeeded, it incurred retaliation from the people of Avalon!
"What are you all doing standing here? Waiting for me to make a decision for you? I still want someone to make a decision for me!
"Didn't I tell you? I told you everything! But what did you do? Did you complete even one of the things I asked you to do?"
"……Father."
A blond young man who looked to be in his early twenties suddenly looked up and whispered, "I heard that Yulia is an alchemist... How about I give it a try? I might be able to trick her back..."
"—Get out! Get out! You're still trying to trick me back, put away your little tricks!"
Veins popped up on Peng Bonazi's forehead, and he interrupted the man directly: "Use your brain - have you drunk donkey's blood? You are as stupid as a pig! The Pope's guards are guarding Glass Island now. Do you want to assassinate the Queen again in person? His mistress is the current Pope, and you think I'm not dying fast enough, right?"
In an instant, the courtyard became quiet again.
He took a deep breath for a while and finally calmed down again.
"I haven't lost my temper in almost two hundred years."
Pomponazzi slowly spoke, "Your incompetence is beyond my imagination. During the Imperial era, the noble Sons of the Moon were never so foolish... I even began to wonder if a comfortable life has corrupted your minds.
"You can enjoy yourself! You can be extravagant! You can be crazy! But when I need you, don't put on a circus for me! If you want to be a clown, just go ahead and do it. Don't agree to it and then do something stupid!"
His majestic voice rang out: "If I need you later, I will summon you at any time. Do not leave your residence for the time being, especially do not leave Xingti. Anyone who attempts to leave Xingti will be treated as a traitor - do you understand? Speak!"
The men and women in the courtyard nodded and bowed sparsely, and untidy voices rang out one after another: "Understood, Father."
He rubbed his forehead and waved his hand, signaling those people to disperse.
Prince Heinrich stayed behind.
