Isabel's longing for Aiwass was so strong that she didn't even need to say a word, just her watery eyes made Aiwass feel soft.
However, even if Isabel is reluctant to let go of Aiwass, she is not the little girl who can rely on Aiwass willfully.
She buried her face into Aiwass's collarbone and breathed in the scent of Aiwass deeply. Her slightly cold hands reached through the cuffs of Aiwass's robe and hugged his back. Her fingertips touched lightly.
On the back, the traces of the spine are outlined with concentration.
It wasn't until her arm synchronized with Aiwass' skin temperature that was much hotter than ordinary people that Isabel reluctantly let go of Aiwass.
"Go, my knight."
Isabel said softly, reaching out to straighten Aiwass's collar: "Go and do what you want to do.
"But remember... no matter what, take care of yourself first.
"No one in this world has to be a savior, but you are the only one who can be my savior. I only hope that my savior can be safe... This is the wish I made to the stars.
"
"I will, Your Majesty."
Aiwass kissed Isabel's lips gently and whispered.
Then, Aiwass reached out and touched his heart, as if giving a knighthood to Isabel.
And as the heat flowed into his heart, the sacred mana dispelled the hypnosis of the Scale Feather Lord. Aiwass opened his eyes and woke up from his dream.
The pair of papal guards, as well as Mu and Zhu Tang, were guarding him.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Aiwass asked immediately.
"It's only half an hour."
Zhu Tang took off a iris-style silver pocket watch from his chest, took a look at it and gave the precise time: "Twenty-five minutes and thirty seconds - have you found the person you are looking for?"
"They are all safe and not in Star Antimony. This is undoubtedly good news."
A look of joy appeared on Aiwass's face, but he quickly said: "But there are other people here who need to be saved..."
"...Wait a moment, my employer...no, my esteemed His Majesty the Pope."
Suddenly, Zhu Tang interrupted Aiwass.
His expression was very complicated.
It was a look of determination that was mixed with nostalgia, sadness, seriousness - and even cruelty.
He spoke slowly: "You should know that this is a natural disaster - the result is not changed by our will. It is impossible for us to save everyone. We have already seen the power of the Fallen Sky Division before, and it is not us.
can compete with it.”
Obviously, Zhu Tang was afraid that Aiwass would suddenly get hot-headed and break out with the Fallen Sky Division, or try to save everyone.
The "Cruel Preacher" is indeed powerful, but it is not invincible. If the King of the Wild Hunt hadn't driven out the Punishment Demons, those four Punishment Demons alone would have been enough to easily defeat the warship - which is why they dared to appear here.
Just relying on the protective barrier summoned by Aiwass's prayer and the durability of the ship itself, the four punishment demons only needed three rounds of volleys to destroy it. One round took about six seconds, adding up.
It doesn't take half a minute.
If they take away too many people, they may incur retaliation.
"...I know, Zhu Tang. You don't have to think of me as some naive young man."
Aiwass nodded, a little helpless: "I was also a demonologist. I have an understanding of demonology."
"……What?"
Hearing this, Zhu Tang was stunned for a moment.
He was a little surprised: "I thought you were a ritual master... I see, then I understand."
Zhu Tang felt relieved immediately.
Since Aiwass was once a demonologist, he probably knows the command mode of the demon army. That means Aiwass will definitely know how much to anger the demon army...
In fact, Aiwass did know.
The form of demons' loyalty to Fallen Sky is rather special - they do not worship Fallen Lord devoutly, nor are their souls and wills distorted by Fallen Lord. It is closer to a gang...or rather, the kind unique to small enterprises.
A reward and punishment mechanism that “depends on the mood of the big boss”.
Although lower-level demons have no sanity, upper-level demons all have, or have had, the mark of great sin.
Just like the situation when the Night Demon Venes was still a Shadow Demon - she had reached a reconciliation with herself in the form of the Moon Child, and her endless anger was eliminated, and she lost the qualification to hold the Sin of Fury.
Because of this, his mark of great sin was stripped away by the Fallen Heavenly Division.
When she lost the brand of sin, she lost the qualification to continue to become stronger.
Hundreds of years have passed since the reconciliation was reached until she was summoned by Aiwass, and she has not become stronger at all.
——For the phantom of "transcendence", being cut off from the "possibility of transcendence" is undoubtedly an extremely painful thing.
Therefore, high-level demons will want to maintain their own mortal sin brand, and even want to obtain other types of mortal sin brands, which will greatly enhance their strength and even increase the speed at which they become stronger; while demons who have been deprived of their mortal sin brand,
You will want to do your best to please Fallen Sky Si - by discovering and deceiving powerful souls to complete "business" and get "dividends".
Therefore, the large-scale rescue of people from Star Antimony is tantamount to provoking all high-level demons - like two restaurants facing each other focusing on involution, and during the confrontation, a group of people suddenly rushed out and shouted at each table of guests.
If there is a stack of large coupons for takeout software, then the two restaurant owners will naturally unite and announce it to the outside world.
"So trust me, it's no problem -"
Aiwass shook his head: "I know the devil very well. The key to saving people lies in time, not space."
It is precisely because Aiwass knows enough about demons that he knows that the situation in front of him is special.
Looking at the confused Zhu Tang, Aiwass briefly described what these demons were doing.
According to the habits of the upper-level demons, when they came, they allowed the lower-level demons to attack the citizens, not actually to taste the flesh and blood - for the upper-level demons, they had already lost this barbaric habit.
A small part of the reason why they would do this is to capture souls to provide energy for later construction of demon buildings, or to create more lower-level demons... and the other part of the reason, and the main reason, is to create
Horrible chaos.
Fallen Sky Si is just too lazy to think, but he is not stupid.
He was also the master of the Babel Tower, and he also had the adaptability of the Fourth Source River. What he cut off was his own kindness and love... unlike the first generation master of the Babel Tower, who cut off his own brain.
If you want to take advantage of the "snake"'s conspiracy and make perfect use of the Ouroboros Ring ritual arranged by the snake... then you must adapt the rules of the material world to the existence of the Fallen Sky Division.
Only if they destroy the existing order of the material world will people respect Fallen Sky as king - but they cannot be Star Antimony's enemies. That will only continue to inspire people's resistance.
So the demons are deliberately creating a chaotic soil.
The demons themselves destroyed the order, causing most people to lose their jobs, income and purchasing power. They forced them to the point where they could not survive without committing crimes. Then they implanted the mark of great sin on those humans who first destroyed the order and actively committed crimes, so that they would be punished.
People are afraid and disgusted, and they gradually transform into powerful demons, allowing people to witness the power of Fallen Sky.
At this time, the real demons descend from the sky, use overwhelming power to make the new demons surrender, and then give these ordinary people who have fallen into hell a "slightly better" orthodox evil order, which can become people's salvation.
host.
No matter how bad order is, it is always better than chaos - even if the person who brought this order is the culprit of causing this chaos.
——It's like a pre-arranged, bloody drama of "a hero saving a beauty".
