Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters outside the human
I don’t know what the man in front of me is thinking, but he must be extremely depressed*. A second ago he was the Pope, the ruler of billions of lives in the entire galaxy, with a seemingly endless lifespan, far exceeding the power of a mortal, and also
I have three years of experience as a fairy. I think this last one is enough to make the wilting Wangcaiangxiong next door bark like a husky when I was a child. But that is already in the past, and his glorious career has just ended abruptly.
, because he was fired.
No matter how stained his rule is, he is a sympathetic person at this time. Perhaps he can still stand as a puppet in front of Mobrado civilians to maintain the stability of this theocratic society, but for a person in his position
For people in this position, losing authority is basically another kind of death.
After Biluna finished speaking, the Pope remained silent for a long time. I could feel his eyes scanning us through the mask. Obviously, he still felt a little unreal about the current situation. However,
The light from the imperial warship outside the window has not completely dissipated. Just look outside and you can see that a large number of people are gathering towards the Papal Palace, which makes it impossible for him to have any doubts about the current situation. Of course, these are just
Part of the reason, but the most important thing should be that he found that he had lost his most trusted power.
Sandora just cut off his mental power to connect to the outside world. In other words, except for the physical quality, the current Holy Pope is already the same as the ordinary Mobrado. His most powerful weapon is the "Spirit of Judgment"
It has left his control. Sandora told me that the so-called "Spirit of Judgment" is a high-level armed satellite, with an output power at least fifty times greater than the satellite that Milia connected to last time, which is enough to destroy a giant in an instant.
The city was burned to ashes, which can be said to be a very powerful support weapon. If the other twelve crime-judgment sharps are of this size,
It is no wonder that the Holy Pope and the Twelve Knights were able to use force to suppress the resistance of the entire world in three years.
But as mentioned before, that was already in the past. When he suddenly realized that his ability to control ancient weapons had left him, the Holy Pope finally confirmed that this was not a nightmare, let alone directed by Zaku.
Absurd drama. Even if the people in the room in front of you are not saints, they are still enough to knock you off the altar.
"Unexpectedly, I was not knocked down on the battlefield, but was forced to take off my divine robe in my room, just like a poor mortal." The Pope looked around at the people around him, his tone was very vicissitudes, Lilina hurriedly
Someone from the side tried to persuade her: "You can just talk about it. We need to wait until we girls go out to take off our clothes!"
The pope's figure looked even more weathered, and I took a photo of Lilina aside: It's time now, we should save some face for the rebuke.
"So, you are the sages? The masters I follow?"
"The identity of the successor is yours.
"Shandora responded with a cold voice. She was not satisfied with the human being who claimed to be the "successor" in front of her. The latter had obviously understood the empire's legacy and spirit in the wrong way, but it was only dissatisfaction.
It's not to the point where "sanctions" are needed. I can understand this feeling a little bit, it's probably the feeling of disappointment caused by seeing the successor of one's servant perform poorly.
"So where did I go wrong?" The Pope stood up slowly, still wearing his mask, facing us across the smooth metal. "I firmly believe that I am following the path you have prescribed for this world.
Power, obedience, discipline, and absolute unity, these are the imprints you left on the ancients. I carefully reproduced them in this civilization, and I do not think I was wrong."
"I'm curious how you know about the old empire, that is, how the saints you call ruled ancient civilizations. Just the clues left by a ruins hundreds of thousands of years ago are not enough for you to summarize these things." Sister.
He asked, looking at the other person up and down with curious eyes.
The Pope is like a prisoner surrounded by us. At this time, we can only answer questions: "The Conviction of Sin has brought us excellent knowledge and many vague memories. Those memories show us a brilliant and powerful image.
.They showed me the way and allowed me to find a way to save the world!"
"Alas, my faith is firm, but the direction is wrong." Lilina concluded solemnly.
"I'm really not chosen!?" The Pope finally struggled to ask us, Sandora snorted, and I kindly explained to the other party: "The so-called "chosen." does not exist. In fact, even Xi Ling
The apostle cannot choose a person who will be born tens of thousands of years later as his successor. In a way, you really have inherited our legacy. It's a pity that you can't get recognition if you use it improperly. Didn't you just want to ask yourself what was wrong?
Are you here? Then take this opportunity to think about it, if this civilization really makes you struggle like this, is it possible for you to develop?"
This is why Lou and Sandora agreed that the man in front of them was not suitable to continue to lead Mobrado civilization: not only because of the other person's unpalatable personality, after all, a bad personality is not a problem for a ruler.
Unacceptable shortcomings. What really makes us dissatisfied is his thinking.
To be fair, a person who almost single-handedly ended the war history of an entire race, brought civilization into a state of complete unity, and eliminated all disputes (at least most of the disputes that can be discovered) can almost be called a great man.
Yes, it is not an exaggeration to say that what this pope has done is a great achievement for the entire development history of Mobrado, but everything must happen, and rules should be followed. The reason why the Xiling Apostles can completely eliminate the civil war is because their civilization has developed
At a certain level, its internal struggles have become the residue that has been run over by the wheel of evolution. And civilizations like Mobrado have obviously not yet reached this state. Even their old ancestors, those ancient people, may not be able to survive in the empire.
Under the rule, I dare not say that it has eliminated all disputes in the entire world, but this pope has used violence to stop everything. The end of internal battles may have put the entire civilization on the path of rapid development in the early days, but after a certain period of time,
After the rapid development, they will face the bottleneck of lack of motivation: under the protection of the empire's ruins, this galaxy is absolutely safe, there will never be external troubles, and there will be no internal struggles, and within the foreseeable future, they will still have access to it.
Inexhaustible energy, so even if some people hope that civilization will progress, how much motivation do they have as a whole to progress?
Flowers in a greenhouse cannot grow strong, and there is no motivation without pressure. If you let Pandora live in the kindergarten from now on, I am afraid she will have to forget about growing taller.
This is still one of the bottlenecks. The second bottleneck is the loss of diversity caused by the unification of the thoughts of the entire race into one person. There is only one person in Mobrado whose words can be regarded as absolute truth, and that is the Pope. He believes that
Your own judgment is always correct. Then there will never be a second thought in this civilization. The Pope enthusiastically praises the knowledge of "sages", so all Mobrado's scholars only study the legacy left by the sages. Anyone who studies other branches of science and technology
Scholars were regarded as heretics and sent to the stake. According to historical data, in Mobrado a few years ago, although the knowledge of sages was also the focus of human research, there were still countless other disciplines in this world. In the Twelve Knights and
After the Holy Pope came to rule the world, those disciplines were condemned as treason and burned to the ground.
If those disciplines could continue to this day, coupled with the technology unearthed from ancient ruins, Mobrado might not be imprisoned in this stage of star system civilization. In short, the Pope's "ideological dictatorship" has made the entire
Civilization has lost the courage to develop freely. They only dare to carefully read ancient documents under strict rules. Such a race will never be able to display its own technology tree for another ten thousand years.
The third mistake of the Holy Pope, and the thing that Sandora and I cannot allow him to stay in this position the most, is that he may bring the entire world into destruction. This is not alarmist, but has already been shown.
Possibly. Although the current Holy Pope frequently makes people frown,
But many records and signs show that three years ago, he was just a heroic young man with a somewhat wandering mind. Uncle Zaku called him a "stupid" at that time. Even if his methods were a little violent, as long as his ideals were
Integrity can also become a hero, so the performance of the Holy Pope in the first year of ruling this world was quite satisfactory. But as time goes by, he has changed.
The world does not need to question the Pope's judgment, because the Pope's judgment comes from the guidance of the sages. The Holy Pope used this sentence to hypnotize himself last year. Finally, not only did the believers believe this, but he even believed it. He believed it.
He has become arrogant and arrogant, living in his fantasy of being a demigod, ruling the world as the Son of God. Even after someone broke through the Papal Palace, he calmly judged the identity of the other party on his own: he
Thinking that I should know everything.
The long-term absolute power, the absolute authority that no one dares to question, the superhuman life and the unlimited lifespan have turned a young man who was once just a little heroic and heroic into a monster other than human beings. This has to be said to be a tragedy.
.And if he continues to live in this position for three years, the tragedy may not be the only one of the Pope.
But this is not entirely his fault, but due to circumstances. He has gained incomprehensible power, but there is no clear guide to keep him on the right track, so he can only make up his mind. If he makes up his mind too much, he will be a fool. Think about it.
I can do it myself. I was just an ordinary high school student back then. My identity changed drastically in the blink of an eye, and I also gained the power to scare people to death. If Pandora had not come to me at that time, and Sandora had not told me so many things, there would be no
With a group of cute and annoying minions making trouble all day long, what will become of me? What kind of disaster will the earth have to make itself?
I can't imagine what path I would be on now if things had gone as planned. Anyway, if that had been the case, this book would have become popular long ago.
I also feel a little aggrieved for this holy pope. You say he is somewhat of a big shot. He has dominated the world for three years among billions of people. However, he did not fight bloody battles on the battlefield or suffer a cold arrow in the palace coup.
In the end, he had a group of people surround him in his bedroom and was declared laid off. This way of ending was really not in line with his previous three years of life. This is probably the most depressing part of the Pope himself. I can't bear it.
I can't help but think of a suggestion. If that doesn't work out, he should remain the Pope for a few more days. We can send a few heroic spirits to assassinate him when he goes outside to give a speech. By then, he will be rolling down from the high platform as sadly as Lelouch.
Come down and save face.
Later the Pope did not agree.
"Zaku, tell us about your past?"
Seeing that Biluna was busy talking to the Pope, I called Zaku over to prepare for a chat. No one was worried that the Pope would suddenly take any action, because Shandora had turned him into an ordinary person, and the Pope's former strength was fully established.
As for the power that is absolutely beyond this world, he himself also knows this very well. When all the power is blocked, no one with an IQ of more than double digits will act rashly. Of course, it doesn't matter that the other party suffered such a big blow and did not go crazy.
Admirable.
From the conversation between Zaku and the other party just now, I have guessed a lot of things, but since the person involved did not tell it personally, I always feel that my guess is just a fan...
"I'm afraid it sounds like an inconspicuous little story to you." Zaku shrugged to us, saying that the story was not worth talking about, but he still briefly told it, "That happened more than three years ago.
When the war was raging, there was a group of happy guys who were busy in the troubled times: an adventure group that relied on ancient ruins and reselling arms to squander money. I was the leader of that adventure group."
"At that time, all races in the world were fighting each other, and countries were also at war with each other. There was almost no place that was not filled with smoke, but the adventure group I led became a very special place. In the group, almost all countries gathered together
, members of all races, we are all orphans of the war. When we were wandering and fleeing, we gathered together and fought since childhood, almost forgetting our own race. The man who now calls himself Pope, his real name is Rudav, he and
Biluna is the first person I know. A group of street children, from street gangsters, to a group of thieves who steal chickens and dogs, to an "adventure group" who dare to go to ruins and battlefields to pick up things, just like that.
Now that I've come back, I think about it, although my life back then was dangerous, it was the happiest day in my three years of memory...
At that time, Rudafu was a stupid young man full of heroes and passion. Because he and Biluna were reborn, they were bullied everywhere in society. I was no better. Ordinary humans have always looked down on lycanthropes.
In his difficult life, Rudav often said that he must become a great person to calm all the wars in the world, and to make all races equal. This should be the environment in the adventure group that made him give up and other people.
Racial hatred. Although his idea is a bit exaggerated, it is actually the wish of many people in the group.
Later... the adventure group gradually grew and we got our own airship, and we started to take on some big business and even took the initiative to search for ancient ruins.
Of course, the Blue Church had not yet been established at that time, and the ruins of the saints were open to everyone to explore.
With the idea of making a fortune and then a few years of leisure, we went to a place called "Echo Mine," which has now become a holy place for the church, but at the time, it was just a long-abandoned mine. We heard the news at that time. He said that he saw a blue night light on the ground near the mine, so he decided to go see if he could get lucky.
Later, we really got lucky...
There is an almost well-preserved ruins of a sage. But... that was also the day the adventure group was destroyed.
In the ruins, a newcomer in the group accidentally encountered the defense system of the ruins. Even the newcomer, most of the dozens of people in the adventure group died in an instant. The remaining fifteen of us ran away desperately, without knowing the direction. I broke into a place where blue light was everywhere, and those blue lights are still dancing in my eyes.
In a panic, Biluna and I got separated from the other thirteen people. We bumped around like headless chickens in the blue-lit passage. When we were exhausted, we ran into a transparent crystal tube, separated by pipeline……"
"He saw me and twelve other brothers and sisters trapped on a suspended flying bridge. A streak of flames passed over the flying bridge, and then we all fell in." The Pope interrupted Zaku's story. , he stood up and gently took off his mask.
I thought I would see a severely burned face, or an ordinary middle-aged uncle, or a yin and gloomy man with the word "yin" engraved on his face. At worst, you just look like Guo Degang. , or it could be Marilyn's nightmare, but in fact... there is nothing behind the mask, only a small blue light ball that is vibrating at high speed.
Several unsuppressed low exclamations sounded in the room, the most obvious of which was Biluna's exclamation.
"The flames burned our bodies and purified the sins of mortals." A sharp and small voice came from the small ball of light. "It" floated out from the Pope's hood. The Pope's long robes and a pair of artificial skin were like It fell to the ground with a thud like rags. It was just a skin bag. The real Pope was just a ball of light the size of a table tennis ball?!
"The blue light gives us rebirth. When we wake up, we have turned into the purest light. There are magical machines left by the sages in the ruins. They have transformed us. This transformation has also given us more Powerful power, even though we have lost our body, we can use our mental power to do exactly the same things as when we had our body, and we can control a more powerful sacred weapon: the Sharpness of Sin."
After the Pope finished speaking, the small ball of light moved slightly closer to Biluna: "You are right what you just said. It is time for my era to end. Since this world was left by the sages, we should follow all their arrangements. Accept it unconditionally. Maybe my long life has really made me a little confused, and I almost forgot the vow I made after returning from the ruins."
"No wonder you've been wearing a mask since that day." Uncle Zaku hissed, and then looked at the skin on the ground. "When you invited me and Biluna to join your great cause, you refused to take off the mask. , so that’s how it is.”
"It's my special technology for divination people, a way to extract the souls of fallen soldiers and make them permanent." Sandora whispered, "But the success rate is not high. It seems to be strengthened by a large dose of crystal radiation."
With their spiritual power, all the Thirteen Knights passed the transformation. In this way, they really "passed the test and became the successors."
"Sage, please forgive me for my previous recklessness." The small ball of light in the air trembled slightly towards me and Sandora. "I didn't expect that after being suddenly removed from this identity, I felt a lot more awake... Please go to the lobby, I hope to know the truth.
What happened? For the first time in three years, I became curious about fate."!
