The earth was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was Clodis' magic or whether the night had really fallen. The old man stood alone between the sky and the earth, with his head half raised, as if he was looking up at the stars in the sky, or listening to the angels
's whisper.
Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Clodis said without looking back: "Gregory, the Alemannic Federation has not found that group of people yet."
"Really? That Count of Île-de-France is really useless."
"Your tone is really calm. Gregory, let me ask you, what does the magic of the Ancient Church of Abraham look like?"
"I have to admit that they have mastered a unique kind of magic, and this magic comes from our god Yahweh - at least on the surface it seems so."
"From the looks of it? You're still doubting their magic?"
"Of course we have to doubt it. They categorically claim that their magic comes from the understanding and measurement of gods. But it is obvious, how can infinite gods be understood? We mortals cannot understand the nature of infinity unless -
—Their 'god' is a demon in disguise."
"Gregory, you are using one uncertain result to arrive at another result. First of all, how can you be sure that what they believe in is the devil, and what we believe in is the only God?"
"It can be proven in a very simple way: The Supreme God will never lose to anyone. We are God's agents in the world. Unless they can defeat us, their power can only come from the devil
——Of course, it must be done when we go all out. A situation like someone laughing and almost being killed cannot be proved."
Clodis snorted: "Are you here to let me thank you?"
"How dare I ask you to thank me?" Gregory stepped closer to Clodis, "Since the magic can be disabled by limiting a person's power, then you can do it even without me, right?
"
While speaking, Gregory had already arrived behind Clodis. Looking at Clodis's back, Gregory's expression suddenly became serious.
"Claudius, now it's my turn to ask - what do you want me to do by deliberately letting me come into contact with the Ancient Church of Abraham?"
Clodis did not follow what Gregory said, but asked:
"Gregory, why did you use the Alemannic Federation to find that group of people? You have already seen their magic, and with your ability, you can determine where they are thousands of miles away."
"Claudius, why did you let them take away the "Chariot Ascension Technique"? With your ability, you could have put everyone into sleep early. But you let them release that magic! This
Why? Do you want to use their magic to convince me? Could it be that you have betrayed the church?"
A huge amount of magic power began to surge around Gregory, and he was ready to fight. However, Clodis did not react at all.
"It's nonsense. If I betray God, how can God continue to give me power? It's just that I have seen too many things, so that I am a little confused about this world."
Gregory looked at him expressionlessly: "What on earth did you see?"
"Do you believe it? There is some kind of close relationship between heaven and earth. Everything that happens in heaven has its counterpart on earth."
"I know you are a master of astrology. Tell me, what did you predict?"
Clodis looked at the sky, his voice full of vicissitudes of life: "For a hundred years, I have calculated this matter over and over again, and the results every time make me unable to sleep."
Gregory laughed disdainfully: "It's not surprising that you would be scared if you were almost killed like you were at the auction."
"You don't understand. I'm not afraid of death at all. On the contrary, I'm very curious about death. Why didn't I stop the magic of the twelve tribes? Just because I wanted to see if the magic could really kill me.
That’s all! In fact, that magic can’t kill me – at most it will only cause me some serious injuries.”
"Since you are so confident in your immortality, what are you still afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that the world will gradually change - not at the hands of God, but at the hands of men."
Clodis opened his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the vast starry sky into his arms. He spat out magical words from his mouth, and every word made the earth shake:
"Someone will pick up a ruler and measure to infinity."
"Someone will lift the earth and throw it into the sky."
"Someone will cast magic to destroy the four elements."
"And eventually, someone will be like a god and say, 'Let there be light.'"
"Then everything appeared in the light."
"'Let there be light'? Are you trying to imitate "Genesis"?" Gregory smiled and shook his head, "Claudius, your astrology can predict what others will say next? Then what do you want?
Don’t you predict my next words?”
"Gregory, don't question my magic. The stars tell me that the first prophecy is about to be fulfilled - the ruler to measure infinity is about to be born. For thousands of years, human wisdom is about to cross the insurmountable abyss, never to
, reaching to infinity. A drastic change is about to come, and people will erect a new Tower of Babel on the ground. And the terrifying infinity is the cornerstone of this new tower."
"Claudius, your prophecy has been wrong more than once. You told the King of Kings before that Baselisa of the Seven Hills Empire would become the biggest enemy of the Tianfang Empire, so the King of Kings sent me as an envoy to the Seven Hills Empire.
Qiu Empire. But when I asked about it afterwards, I found out that the girl didn’t know magic at all."
"You mean Ella Cornelius Scipio? You have been in the Alemannic Federation for so long, you should have heard some news, right? There is a 'Triumpher' with powerful magic in the Pirate Kingdom. She
His last name is Scipio."
"I just came back from seeing the 'Triumpher'. Her hands are very rough, and she is definitely not the Ella Cornelius Scipio. And her magic is not a big deal."
Gregory shook his head and continued: "Ella Cornelius Scipio has probably been killed long ago. This also explains why my magic cannot bring her out of Antilia.
Bring back the Seven Hills Empire - the dead are governed only by the gods and are beyond my power."
There was a trace of sadness in Clodis' voice: "Gregory, you underestimate the enemy too much. You are the most humble among the apostles. But even you are so conceited."
"Perhaps, I am indeed proud of this, just as you are proud of your own life."
Seeing that Clodis did not seem to have betrayed the Abrahamic Orthodox Church, Gregory put away his magic.
"Didn't you ask me why I didn't go find those people myself? I'll answer you this way: It's the same reason as you. You want to try whether that magic can end your life, and I want to see if they can.
It’s not really possible to measure infinity.”
"You gave them too much time! I think they have fully understood the "Chariot Ascension Technique" now!"
"Wouldn't that be nice? We'll see it soon - what those ignorant people are measuring!"
