Aiwass's eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and he was lying quietly among the blood-sucking black thorns like a corpse.
He was wearing the black-red robe of the Eternal Pope, and it looked like dark red roses had been sprinkled all over his coffin.
It is different from the "consecrated" body.
At this moment, Aiwass has another mode of existence that is completely different from the past——
His consciousness shrouded the entire giant tree... In other words, at this moment, Aiwass and the Theocracy had become one.
——The situation is much better than what was initially expected.
When Aiwass knew that he would hang up here as the eternal pope, he subconsciously regarded this position as a prison from which he could not escape. In other words, Aiwass actually held the idea of "Okay, okay, I will go to jail for you."
The mentality took over the Holy Crown.
As a result, it seems now...the job of interim pope is surprisingly pleasant.
He seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, turning into streams of breeze, moonlight, and torches, gently touching everything that existed inside the giant tree.
He turned into a golden spirit body and appeared on the streets of the third circle. In fact, it was not his spirit body that appeared here - with the power of the Holy Crown, if his soul came here, I am afraid that this dark night
During this time, the entire street will light up like noon.
Aiwass now stays in the interlayer between the material world and the dream world.
This is like a fairy kingdom, neither in the material world nor in the dream world. Here, Aiwass and everyone else are "not on the same layer". No one can see Aiwass, nor can he
Can't reach him.
And as Aiwass's thoughts move, he can appear in any corner of any floor at any time. He can fly at will and pass through all buildings and walls at will... He seems to have become an observer,
And all the children of the giant tree became his children at this moment.
...The feeling is like a left-behind child who was alone and got a beloved pet.
My lonely heart was instantly filled with love, and now my face is always smiling even if I do nothing. Just watching them walking around and doing their own things will make me feel warm and happy, and my mood will become very relaxed... even
Time feels like it flies by very quickly.
——It’s as fast as playing Civilization.
Aiwass had never given birth to his own children in the past, so he didn't know what it was like to be a parent...but Aiwass thought that even if he did have his own children, this would probably be the feeling.
I wish I could give everything to them, without asking for anything, just pure warmth, hope and love. The time has become peaceful and warm... If given the chance, Aiwass even feels that he can stay like this forever.
It’s no wonder that this position can cultivate a heart of devotion... Aiwass had only been the pope for a few days, and he felt that his eyes had become compassionate.
The smell of mother in the former pope was probably cultivated in this way...
At this moment, an old man on crutches slowly passed by Aiwass.
When he passed by a protruding tree root, he didn't lift his feet and almost tripped to the ground——
But at this moment, an invisible force appeared beside the old man and helped him.
"...Oh, be careful."
Aiwass thought, and some invisible force interfered a little: "It's better not to go out in the middle of the night, old man."
His voice rang in the old man's heart. The old man was stunned for a moment and then understood.
Although he didn't know who the person who helped him - or the ghost - was, he still bowed in front of him respectfully and piously.
After all, he was so old, and it was indeed easy for him to get into trouble if he accidentally fell down. In the middle of the night, there were not many people even on the streets of Theocratic State, so it might be too late by the time he was discovered.
At this moment, Aiwass suddenly raised his head and looked south.
——That is the direction of Star Antimony.
Although he and Aleister have been able to act independently, they are still two phantoms of the same person. As long as Aleister thinks about it, her information and memories will immediately appear in Aiwass's mind.
It belongs to cloud synchronization.
"...Really, you have to be careful with yourself."
Aiwass just shook his head, a little worried about Aleister.
——Even though there were Night Stalkers following Aleister and Ms. Honey Badger helping him, Aleister's easily inflated character still made Aiwass a little worried.
When Aiwass played games in his previous life, this situation often occurred - in situations of balance or even disadvantage, his mentality and performance would become quite stable, and even the more stressful the scene, the more he could perform beyond his level.
.But if he has a smooth journey, he will easily get carried away and send a big wave.
His current caution is largely due to his self-awareness.
But now it seems that all these cautions have been assigned to Aiwass's side.
"...It's really unsettling."
Aiwass sighed.
However, Aleister asked him for support, and Aiwass couldn't hold him back.
In addition to being a powerful artifact, the Holy Crown is also a functional item that can be used to lock the bishop.
The next moment, several golden light spots appeared in front of his eyes - they were clergy near Aleister with the rank of "bishop" and above.
Aiwass picked one at random, and then his consciousness disappeared into that person's dream.
The moment he fell asleep, Aiwass encountered the other party's subconscious resistance - but that resistance was easily broken down. From a somatological point of view, it was a bit like poking a tight disposable plastic bag with your fingers.
However, the other party was very vigilant... The moment she realized that she was being tranced into a dream, Ms. Bishop, who was in a dreamy state, woke up.
She could not escape from the dream directly, but she did not wake up instantly. In her consciousness, she seemed to see a brilliant sun.
"Mia Mueller...right."
Aiwass' originally clear young voice also appeared brilliant and sacred under the heavy echo: "I have a task to send to you, Mia..."
Afterwards, Aiwass sent all Aleister's needs to Bishop Mueller.
Mia raised her head, and the divine intuition in her heart told her - this was the current Pope who was far away in the Theocracy.
Although she couldn't see clearly what His Majesty the Pope looked like... In her opinion, His Majesty the Pope was like a ball burning with flames and filled with light, just like the sun.
She knelt down without hesitation and touched her forehead to the ground.
As a devotee, she is not afraid of sacrifice and dedication. This is one of the responsibilities of a bishop.
It’s just that in the past, it was impossible for the Eternal Pope to call them when something happened... because whenever something happened, it must be completed by the Pope’s Guards first. The Pope looked at them like a loving mother looking at her children, wishing that they would all go to rest.
Yes, but don't get tired.
But Aiwass is different.
He clearly understands the personal needs of devotees - rather than worries such as "Don't be tired" and "Be careful of dangers", the bishops are more interested in completing the tasks given by the Pope.
Feeling the warmth brought by the strong devotion coming from her back, she responded with great piety: "I will complete your sacred mission..."
"——His Majesty the Great Pope."
As perhaps the first bishop to be called by the Pope, she was almost moved to tears.
Although she looks like she is only in her early thirties, Mia is actually in her fifties this year. It is the fire ritual that maintains her youthful appearance and healthy body.
And in all these years, she only visited the Theocracy once when she was promoted to bishop.
Now he has been entrusted with an important task by the Pope - although it is just a simple funeral such as "transferring someone's soul". But it is also a strong sense of reality of "one's own beliefs becoming reality".
Even in a mortal country, being personally entrusted by the monarch is enough to make the common people feel excited. And they live in the way of devotion and respect the faith of the Nine Pillars. Not to mention the Pope, even if they are personally ordered by the Cardinal
, she can feel a strong sense of mission...
——For this favor and trust.
Even if she has to fight against the Society, she will definitely complete the mission given by His Majesty the Pope!
