"Are you really going to leave? Doctor."

The disaster caused by Vasco da Gama also gradually disappeared. After confirming that he had completed his mission in the second world, Dr. Edward decided to bid farewell to everyone in the second world's Destiny and return to the Creation Star Alliance in the first world with Dr. Liesel.

Those who came to see him off were everyone from the Seventh Army. After all, they had spent so long with this comrade and experienced parting in life and death, so they were obviously still a little reluctant to part with Dr. Edward.

"Yeah, I know you have to deal with the rest of the plague... it might be a little troublesome, but I also have important things to do."

Just when Edward was talking to everyone about the reason for leaving, two of Dr. Edward's relatives and friends in this world, namely Ace and Marilyn, also came here.

"Ed...are you really leaving here?"

Ace's eyes were full of reluctance. After all, his younger brother was going to fly far away to continue the task of observing the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, so he was still a little worried about him.

It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother, and the Belmont siblings who lost their parents, the only family Ace has is his brother Edward.

"Don't worry, sister, I will come back to see you in the future. After all, we are all here to save the world."

He smiled brightly, which seemed to be the best answer to his sister's worries about him.

"Bon voyage, Ed."

Marilyn also gave him words of blessing when he parted.

When Dr. Edward was sent to the Second Airport of Destiny, the space-time shuttle ship from the Creation Star Alliance was parked there, and what greeted him were Sword Emperor Harvey and Dr. Liesel.

Everyone watched Edward leave and expressed their reluctance to leave him.

"Rin." Harvey walked up to Rin and asked him: "What do you think about my proposal some time ago?"

Harvey was referring to asking Rin to participate in the affairs of the Star Creation Alliance. After thinking about it for a while, Rin shook his head and rejected Harvey's invitation.

"Sorry, Mr. Harvey, I want to stay in my hometown for a while. After all, the hidden dangers left by Vasco da Gama have not completely disappeared... If necessary, I will do my best to help you."

"Really? That's good."

Harvey and Liesel left with Edward, and the shuttle ship sailed into the void at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Belenna, are you crying?"

"No...really not."

Ace wiped his eyes and nose in front of everyone, then turned his head like a little girl, not wanting everyone to see her crying.

Rin looked at the direction where Edward and the others disappeared, and smiled happily.

"Have a safe journey, my dear friend."

He said so.

At the same time, Ryan and Shizuru also learned of Dr. Edward's departure. Now that they had lost their captain, they could only hand over the responsibility of leading the eighth unit to Miss Shizuru Kamisato.

"Oh, it's true...that guy didn't want to stay longer and had to rush back to handle things."

"The news that he is still alive is enough for you."

"Yeah, after all, that kid often does some outrageous things, which makes people sweat for him."

Ryan was talking to Jingliu about Dr. Edward's return to the Creation Star Alliance, and expressed relief that he survived.

At this time, Nourni came over with trembling steps holding a comic book. Because she was relatively short and the waist skirt she was wearing was very long and had no openings, she walked slowly.

It's very funny.

"Jingliu! Is there a sequel? I've finished reading this one!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get it."

Even after Doctor Edward left, the dormitory of the Eighth Troop remained peaceful.

At the same time, the Arc Star Church in South America is conducting a grand ceremony every year, which is a group prayer ceremony called "Song of the High Sky". Basically every missionary and nun of the Arc Star Church has

To participate.

The person presiding over the meeting was the Archbishop of the Arc Star Church, Ms. Angelica Angelica. With a girl-like face and figure, she was the founder of the Arc Star Church and the being with the highest power.

"Please stand up, believers, please put your hands on your sides, imagine the kind appearance of the forgiving Lord, and sing loudly with me..."

"May this world be peaceful and peaceful forever."

"May this world be peaceful and free from suffering and war."

"May the world be saved and accept the embrace of eternity, ah... tolerance is our Lord."

"Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise tolerance, praise tolerance."

After the ceremony was over, Sister Apricot Marr dragged her exhausted body out of the cathedral. Next to her was her closest little nun companion in Arc Star Church, Mo Manglai.

"Oh, I hate this kind of ceremony the most. If this place hadn't been so peaceful... who the hell would be staying here!"

Mo Manglai on the side responded with a smile: "It's okay, Lord Tolerance will probably bring you good luck, Sister Xing."

"I don't believe it. I didn't win the lottery I bought a few days ago. Why do you like a guy with unknown origins like Lord Tolerance so much? What's so good about her?"

"Some time ago, something happened outside." Mo Manglai said with a smile.

It turns out that when Vasco da Gama's plague of despair was spreading around the world, the Arc Star Church and the areas under its jurisdiction were not affected by da Gama's plague at all. And according to Mo Manglai, this was all because of tolerance.

The Lord was protecting them, so they were not harmed.

"Really? Then I have to call Bronya and Xier to confirm. After all, I haven't contacted them for a long time."

"I haven't seen Bronya and Sister Xi'er for a long time. Momanglai is still willing to chat with them... By the way, there is also little brother Lin. Momanglai hasn't seen him for a long time.

."

Talking about what happened half a year ago, Xing and Mo Manglai also realized that they had not seen everyone in Tianming for a long time. Half a year ago, they were fighting side by side with Bronya and the others to fight against the evil forces of New Arcadia.

armed forces.

"Ah, good afternoon you two, remember to go have lunch."

Just when they were chatting, a soft female voice like an angel came from behind. They knew that this was the archbishop of the Arc Star Church, Miss Angelica.

Angelica wore a pure white nun's dress as thin as a gauze dress, lined with a dark blue dress. There were many small and exquisite wing decorations on her dress, which made her look very elegant and pure.

She touched her white to blue hair, adjusted the silk nun's scarf on her head, and then said in a very soft and dignified tone:

"May the forgiving Lord bless you and have a good day."

At this moment, Xing seemed to remember something. Not long ago, Bishop Angelica told her something, and wanted her to investigate the plague spreading outside. This was also something she told herself two days ago.

But Xingmaer herself did not believe it. After all, during this period of time, especially in the past few months, she had never heard of the "Despair Plague".

"That's because we are protected by the Tolerant Lord, so we are safe and sound. Sister Xing, I will pay more attention to the suffering people in the future. I'll excuse you now."

After Angelica left, Xing took a long breath of relief and sighed:

"She looks so cute, but every time I talk to her, I feel a lot of pressure."

Momanglai patted Xing's back and said, "It's okay, Sister Xing, Momanglai will go with you. May the Lord Tolerance protect you."

"I don't believe it!"

Xing immediately prepared to go back to her home to clean up and prepare to carry out the new task assigned to her by Angelica. At the same time, Angelica also met an unexpected stranger who appeared in front of her.

"Long time no see, Aniel, the 'Sage of Tolerance'."

The visitor was none other than Sword Emperor Harvey. When he came to the Arc Star Church this time, he also sensed the existence of another Heavenly Saint-level Herrscher in the Arc Star Church.

"Ah, it's Mr. Harvey, have you had lunch?"

"There's no need, Aniel. I came here this time to see you to confirm something."

The "Sage of Tolerance" named "Annel" still had a relaxed expression. She immediately said that it was inconvenient to talk about things outside and invited Harvey to come and sit in her room.

After Harvey entered the room, Angelica poured him a cup of jasmine tea herself, and then sat in front of him with a natural smile.

"Tell me, Harvey, what is the purpose of finding a concubine this time?"

"This tragic situation in the third world... was caused by you, right? Aniel."

When she heard Harvey say these words, Angelica's expression suddenly became uncomfortable. Then, she pretended to be fine and looked at Harvey in front of her with a smile.

"That's right, everyone there has been 'saved' by my concubine."

"Is this your salvation? You turned those innocent people into monsters, and then froze the entire surface of the earth in the third world... It was all your doing, right?"

"That's right."

After saying these words, Angelica not only did not express surprise at what Harvey said, but just made it her usual sarcastic comment.

"Then, I want to know the reason why you appeared in the second world. Is it because you are looking for the next world to destroy?"

"No, the children here are very good, and I am happy to protect them. You see, under my protection, they have not been affected by Da Gama's infectious diseases. This is the best evidence.

?”

What Angelica said was true. Not only did she tell the truth about destroying the third world bubble with her own hands, she also said that she came to this world because she sincerely wanted to protect everyone in the Arc Star Church.

"Hmph, I won't believe a word of what you Heavenly Saints say." Harvey said calmly. "Although I don't know what other intentions you have, but I know that one day... you will reveal yourself as a fox.

It’s from the tail.”

Faced with Harvey's words, Angelica tilted her head and said to him:

"It's because you're scared. Do you know that if you want to fight me now, I can turn you into powder with just a little bit of power?"

Harvey also nodded. He knew that Angelica, as the second Heavenly Saint, was far more powerful and powerful than Vasco da Gama, which was why he did not dare to take action in Angelica's house.

.

He came this time with the awareness that he would die, but no matter how prepared he was, Angelica had no intention of harming him.

"Since I am your enemy, why don't you kill me now?"

Angelica's eyes suddenly opened. Her eyes were beautiful sapphire and pink gradient colors. She showed a very puzzled expression and just asked him:

"Why do you say that? Mr. Harvey."

"It's very simple. I am a Titan hunter and your enemy. Vasco da Gama's death is also related to me."

"For such an insignificant existence, it doesn't matter how many times it dies~ Anyway, as long as there is an 'extraterrestrial will', Vasco da Gama may be resurrected again after tens of thousands of years?"

She just said such frivolous and horrifying words with a bright smile, which made Harvey a little nervous.

He knew that the person in front of him, the "Sage of Tolerance", Miss Angelica Angelica, had once raised a hand to blow off a corner of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers under his nose.

For the Celestial Saints, the awakened ones from the "Star God Clan", Angelica, also known as An'niel, is undoubtedly the most powerful one.

"Since I am your enemy, Aniel, I suggest you take action immediately, otherwise you will regret it."

"Ah? Why? I don't want to kill you, and I don't want to kill any Gamma people, especially a Gamma person like you. In terms of blood relationship, I am your 'mother'?"

"Are you despising me?"

"Oh, I have already said it... Really, if you do this again, I will really be angry?"

Seeing Angelica stand up, Harvey was so nervous that his hands were trembling. Although his expression remained unchanged, he knew that this was the result of holding back for a long time.

"You just came from the Star Alliance, right? Oops, that guy Kevin is really asking you to come here on a business trip without even letting you have lunch... Wait a minute, I'll prepare lunch for you."

"No need."

He realized that Angelica did not have any hostility towards him, and based on what Angelica said about him just now, he realized that Angelica seemed to have understood everything about him.

Clean and tidy.

Just when he was about to get up and walk out, he suddenly found that his body was unable to move. It was like being firmly attached to the chair by a magnet, and he couldn't get out no matter how hard he tried to break free.

"I suggest you let me go immediately."

However, when he looked around, Angelica seemed to have walked away. After waiting for almost three minutes, a scent wafted from the kitchen.

Aniel really went to prepare the meal, and Harvey's mind seemed to be filled with inexplicable feelings. He didn't know what Aniel, Bishop Angelica, wanted to do.

"Okay, come on, eat it while it's hot, Mr. Harvey~"

I saw Angelica skillfully bringing a large pot of stew, which still exuded a strange fragrance.

"You are familiar with this taste, right? This is a specialty dish of the Gamma people, snow garden stew~yo."

Harvey couldn't move, so he just let Angelica feed him with her own hands the food she cooked.

Realizing that nothing had been done here, Harvey could only let Angelica manipulate her. Then, he felt that his body could move again.

"How's the craftsmanship?"

"not bad."

Harvey was still facing Angelica with a serious look at this time. He had almost eaten all the food Angelica had cooked. He never thought that Angelica was sincere.

Gotta stay for lunch.

What on earth was this "Tolerant Heavenly Sage" thinking? He couldn't help but wonder, so, under many doubts, he also asked this question, which was the question of "What on earth are you thinking about?"

So, Angelica told the story with a relaxed look.

Before the universe was formed, an existence called "imaginary number consciousness" was born from the dim chaotic starlight.

Imaginary number consciousness possesses supreme wisdom, and it can only expand its domain, hoping to see the colorful world and give birth to what it wants.

As a result, it detached its two arms and split them into thousands or even tens of thousands of different entities. Sometimes they split and sometimes unified, forming the prototype of the tree network of imaginary numbers. From the tree of imaginary numbers, the network grew.

The fruit is an existence called "parallel universe".

However, not all the fruits produced on the tree of imaginary numbers are perfect. Someone needs to check it regularly, pick out the bad fruits, and then let them fall off the tree and fall into chaos for rebirth.

As a result, the cosmic consciousness integrated its body parts, split another self, and combined with itself, gave birth to ten beings who were called "Heavenly Saints" by later generations.

The Heavenly Sage is the "pruner" of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, responsible for selecting incomplete and malnourished worlds from the tree, pruning them, and letting them fall into the void to become nutrients for the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

Although they are called "Hersers" by people in the second world, their power and authority are superior to those of the Herrschers. As long as they are willing and use their power, they can devastate the entire Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

However, the good times did not last long. Gradually, in the process of pruning the world, the heavenly saints gradually discovered pests on the fruits, eating on the fruits of each imaginary tree.

Those "pests" are "civilization".

While working day and night, the Heavenly Saints gradually fell in love with some pest-free fruits. They were thinking about how to eliminate the "pests" while preserving the beautiful fruits.

That is "insecticides", existences called "Herrsters" by humans. They are spread across the fruits of every imaginary tree, trying to eliminate pests through their power.

However, gradually, the pests also became resistant to the pesticides and became less afraid of the "Herrscher". Therefore, the heavenly saints decided to personally pick these fruits that were hopelessly infested by insects and throw them into the void.

among.

However, one of the Heavenly Saints, a being known as "Tolerance", realized that these insect-eaten fruits were not unusable.

If the tree of imaginary numbers itself has antibodies, pests will not emerge from the tree of imaginary numbers. This is her idea.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, she decided to protect these pests and let them eat the branches and leaves. Maybe in this way, the tree of imaginary numbers can protect itself in the future. In this way, she came to the most severely eroded area alone.

Between several fruits, I decided to observe the experiment.

"So, you are all my children, how could I hurt you? When you grow bigger, bigger... maybe I can see the ending?"

From Angelica's words, Harvey only felt arrogance, which was the most profound and evil arrogance that came from the original time of the universe.

She compared human civilization to the pests on the fruit. From this point of view alone, Angelica is already a hopeless saint.

"Then, thank you for your hospitality, I'll go back first."

Seeing that Harvey was about to leave, Angelica did not persuade him to stay, but allowed him to leave. When he was leaving, Angelica also said that he would come to her house as a guest often, and she would prepare more sumptuous meals for him.

Harvey.

"Crazy woman."

Harvey recalled what Angelica had said to him, and couldn't help scolding Angelica in his heart.

After watching Harvey leave, Angelica still had a kind smile like an aunt's face. Then she realized that she had to pack away the tableware that had been served to Harvey, so she jumped to the dining table and picked it up carefully.

The largest cauldron held "Snow Garden Stew".

"My little prince, where are you now?" she murmured to herself.

A few days later, the awaited Destiny Headquarters welcomed brand new guests, old friends of Rin and the others, Xingmaer and Momenre Anseju.

"Ah, long time no see. You are in good spirits, Bronya... and Xi'er."

"Sister Xing, too. For you... it seems that your life as a nun was quite enjoyable."

Xi'er was joking with Xing and the two whom they hadn't seen for a long time. Bronya also showed a rare smile. Rin, who followed Bronya and Xi'er to meet the two nuns, was playing mobile games on the side until

Bronya pressed his head on the table.

"Woooooooooooo..." He felt difficulty breathing and couldn't move his whole body.

Mo Manglai also said that the reason for coming to Tianming this time was because of Bishop Angelica's order, hoping to get Tianming's permission to assist in "rescuing the victims."

After all, it is Angelica's long-cherished wish to save all sentient beings, and the Arc Star Church has spent a lot of money and manpower to rescue the victims during this period.

"Then what you are looking for is the Heavenly Council of Thirteen. I can't help you much," Xi'er said.

Bronya also said: "If it's that sister Alicia, she might be happy to accept your proposal."

Xing and Mo Manglai said that if the cooperation terms can be successfully signed, they will definitely need some manpower, so by then they hope that Bronya and Xi'er's team can come to help.

"Help me...I'd be happy to, but I don't know, Captain..."

Rin agreed to go over and help Arc Star Church when they needed them.

"I'm happy too."

After getting Bronya's promise, Xing left with the little nun Mo Manglai who looked very happy.

A few hours later, the two sent messages to Bronya and Xi'er, saying that Alicia had agreed to their proposal and had returned to Arc Star Church to resume her life.

After hearing the news, Rin seemed to be looking forward to it. After all, he was also someone who was helped by the Arc Star Church to deal with New Arcadia. Naturally, his first impression of the Arc Star Church was very good.

However, Bronya felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so she discussed it with Rin.

"Rin, since the Arc Star Church is willing to help rescue the victims, why did they stand still when Da Gama showed up before? Why do they request cooperation at this time?"

"Hey, Captain, you may be overthinking it. There are so many nuns in the Arc Star Church, but there are only a few who can fight. I guess they won't be able to do anything when the plague spreads."

"Although what you said makes sense...but I thought about it again and I still feel that something is wrong."

Just as Bronya and Rin were discussing this matter in the dormitory, Linqi and Freya, who had gone out to help with the construction of the underground city, also came back.

"We're back!" Lin Qi shouted happily as soon as she entered the door.

"Thanks for your hard work."

When Rin called the two of them together to discuss the intentions of the Arc Star Church, Freya seemed to have remembered something. She covered her forehead, thought for a while, and asked them:

"Is the leader of Arc Star Church named Angelica?"

After receiving Bronya's affirmative reply, Freya subconsciously expressed that there might be some problems in that place and hoped that they would pay more attention to Angelica when they went there.

"Why? Is Angelica such a terrible person?"

"I just feel like I've seen someone with the same name as her, and every time I hear this name, I get scared subconsciously. I don't know why."

Everyone said that Freya was just overthinking, but both Bronya and Rin knew that Freya's memory was the result of a fault. She must not be allowed to remember that she is a Ga from the back of the moon.

Centaur Paladin Facts.

Soon, the next day came, and Xing and Mo Manglai came in person to pick up the members of Bronya's seventh team and the members of Xi'er's fifth team.

The Arc Star Church transport spacecraft parked at the third airport was still waiting to be inspected. After confirming that it could be released, everyone set off on the road to the Arc Star Church's base camp.

After arriving at "Nanyang City", the stronghold of the Arc Star Church, what everyone saw was a cluster of pure white buildings, a large city built in the urban construction style of the medieval European church.

In Nanyang City, the church-style shops and residential buildings that can be seen everywhere attract everyone's attention. It seems that this place has not been affected by Vasco da Gama's plague. People wearing the clothes of Arc Star Church missionaries live happily here. On the streets

There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

After docking at the pier in the Arc Star Church area, everyone got off the spacecraft, and they were greeted by the nuns from the Arc Star Church. They were staff of the Arc Star Church and were responsible for reception and guidance.

"Where are we going? Momanglai." Rin asked Momanglai while looking at the sight he had never seen before.

Mo Manglai answered him: "Go and see Bishop Angelica."

When they arrived at the largest church-style building in the central area of ​​Arc Star Church, the staff introduced that this is where Lady Angelica works on weekdays.

After entering the building, taking the elevator and reaching the top floor, everyone was waiting in front of Bishop Angelica's office, waiting for Angelica to invite them in.

"Brother, let me tell you... the religious atmosphere here is too strong." Jack, who came with him, complained.

Javi also said that the architectural style here is very peculiar. Although he has never been here before, he also felt that there were too many churches here.

"Oh~ Everyone, welcome."

What was unexpected was that as soon as the door to Angelica's office opened, Angelica herself walked out, jogged all the way to everyone, and hurriedly shook hands with everyone.

Is this the archbishop of Arc Star Church? He has no airs at all, and he looks so pretty, cute, and kind. He must be a good person.

Among the people who came with Tianming, except for Bronya and Xi'er, everyone else thought so, including Rin.

"This archbishop is really a beauty... isn't he, Javi."

"Well, anyway, I think she's a little too enthusiastic."

Jack and Javi were whispering, and Angelica seemed to have heard their conversation and turned her head to give them a "wink".

Everyone's first impression of Angelica was very good. After asking Mo Manglai and Xing to arrange for everyone to sit on the sofa, Angelica stood up and poured a cup of hot jasmine tea for everyone.

"Then let's talk about business." Angelica said with a smile. "As for what we hope you can help us with this time... is there... anything?"

She pretended to be cute and stared blankly at the ceiling of the office, as if she wanted to say something.

"That is to say, Miss Angelica, you haven't made any preparations for the content of this cooperation, right?"

Xier asked her decisively.

"Ah, yes, that's right, that's right."

Unexpectedly, Angelica admitted it so readily. Such a reaction made everyone traveling with her feel ashamed.

The archbishop of the Arc Star Church must be a little too confused, and he doesn't look like an archbishop of the Arc Star Church at all. His appearance is even worse than that of the staff at the door.

"Then, let me ask you to do something else."

When she said these words, everyone could clearly feel the inexplicable terrifying pressure spreading in the air of the office, making them unable to breathe at all.

"Telling the truth is a virtue, so I'll tell you the truth."
Chapter completed!
