The Pope of the Machines temporarily returned to the so-called "stronghold" with the girl, or the corpse occupied by the anomaly, but he also said that he would come back soon to find Mr. Change.

The man who deliberately handed over the ominous scroll of the devil to the maiden was not exposed in the end.

In this case, it can only be the girl's parents, the aristocratic couple who seem to be kind, right?

Annott, who had such a question, was answered in the affirmative by Mr. Zero.

But why not debunk them?

What can be done after it is debunked?

Annott was stunned.

How about debunking and executing those poor parents as cultists and murderers?

Annott thought a little about it, but she just felt that she should be punished for doing such an evil thing.

What counts as an evil deed? Let the girl sign a contract and then burn her life and die?

Isn't it just as evil for us to let the girl sing until she dies of happiness, but doesn't find a way to break the contract in advance and stop her burning life?

Isn't it too easy for parents to really want to kill their daughter?

The body is so fragile that it can barely take care of itself, and it can easily die if it takes the slightest accident.

Why did they spend so much energy and financial resources to raise her to this day?

Why did he go to such great lengths to kill his daughter in such a strange way as "giving her a cursed thing that would grant her wishes"?

And don't forget, if you debunk it, wait until then...... Whether it's the parents or the girl, how will they deal with themselves?

......

"Alright, calculate the time, I should also go back to the Great Sanctuary. Mr. Zero said with some distress.

"Hey, Mr. Zero, aren't you wanted over there......" Annott was surprised.

"yes, so there's really no way around it. If I don't go now, I'm afraid the gods over there won't be able to hold on. ”

"What do you mean, God, can't hold on?" Miss Angel seemed to be unable to connect the two words together subconsciously.

"The God of the church. During these times, His divine power covered the world. As a result, the only anomalous powers I can borrow are those that are too weak to cause Him to react, and too strong to be able to react. ”

"But I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't directly direct a huge external force like an arm. ”

Mr. Zero suddenly said lightly, "Have you heard of Domino, Annot?"

"More, Mi, No?" the girl repeated word by word as her eyes widened.

"yes, dominoes were once a popular game in a certain upheaval, hehe. ”

Mr. Zero explains: "To put it simply, it takes only a small amount of force to push the first tiny block, and as the chain reaction continues, it repeatedly uses some external force (gravity) to finally knock down a huge number of blocks with this initial small force. ”

"And in a certain variant of this game, each piece is bigger than the last. ”

In other words, a system that uses exquisite design and great external forces to infinitely amplify the weak force. ”

Mr. Zero's warm smile was still there, but Annott seemed to see something different.

We're just mortals, Annot.

People are fragile and powerless individuals.

Of course, man cannot fight against God.

But what do we do when we really have a reason to have to fight the gods with our human body?

Facing God directly, he will be sung as a legend by the bards of later generations, boasted as a hero, and preached as a brave man.

But how stupid is that?

"Go and use God against God. That's all we can actually do. Mr. Zero said this, but he didn't feel any discouragement.

I'm really thankful that my resistance to anomalies is not immune......

But who is to thank you?

...... No, it's not. Annott thought to herself.

From the perspective of "normal people" in this era, it would have been God who wanted to fight God and really fight God.

Or, the devil may, too?

But Mr. Zero's words are even ...... the big devil

I only listened to Mr. Zero continue: "Actually, the power of the gods served by the church has suppressed the large scale of other anomalous worlds, and it has also interrupted the intermediate link in the 'chain' that I need. ”

"So...... The previous event was your ......"

"So, when I need to borrow more strength to deal with anomalous events......" He picked up the small mechanical part from his pocket again, rubbing it.

"While it is true that on the one hand this is the most convenient way to kill this catastrophe, it is not without other alternatives. ”

"But for that thing in Darkhaven...... I also have to knock down the God of the church for a while. ”

"It's just that there is no way but to use such crude and violent means......"

Although there is still a visible way to combat the leakage of the "light".

But pushing the rescued people back into the abyss as a suicide bomber is not your own style.

...... What kind of merciful nonsense, Mr. Zero.

Think about the accident at the Great Cathedral.

What are the consequences of such an overly direct and brutal approach?

Thousands of deaths have been officially counted, but I wonder if it's true?

Or less, or more......

But the crying sound lingers in front of me.

The real reason is nothing but ......

Wake up the darkness and it will only cause more damage.

It's just what God said, "mere numerical calculations."

Noisy thoughts emerge and disappear in my heart.

Mr. Zero smiled and said, "And, if I don't go, that kid will be embarrassed." ”

Who is that child?

......

All members of the Holy Maiden faction are to be temporarily dismissed and imprisoned.

The saint herself should be placed under house arrest and stripped of all power until the day of God's return.

It was supposed to be like this, it was supposed to start at noon today......

However, it was precisely today that the man came to visit in a polite manner.

Yes. "Door-to-door visits".

With his cane in both hands, he stood quietly in front of the ruins of the Great Sanctuary, staring silently into the depths of the ruins.

Or rather, he was looking at all the neighborhoods around the Sanctuary that had been destroyed by the god's calamity.

Behind him was a petite woman with beautiful long pale blonde hair. She just looked at Mr. Zero with some distress, looking puzzled, but she didn't see any nervousness.

Then he seemed to start praying something in a low voice.

"Evil, devil, will you pray too!" shouted a priest with courage.

"You are mistaken. Mr. Zero turned suddenly, causing the priest to take a step back.

He still smiled kindly: "I'm just praying for the innocent victims." Well,But there's no such thing as a designated existence.,It's just a feeling.。 ”

"By the way, don't you want to inform your Pope and the Holy Maiden, I think they must be very happy to see me now. ”

And so it should be with your God. ”

......

Is it just because of my willfulness that the situation is so broken......

After the incident at the Great Temple, the Holy Maiden had been thinking about it ever since.

To put it bluntly, her faith is not strong.

She was just inexplicably favored by the gods.

Her ability to appeal to everyone's affection was not a godsend, but innate, and the man had playfully told him this during an unexpected meeting in the past.

In fact, she has always felt so.

In the memory of her birth, everyone revolves around her and loves her.

But she didn't rejoice much.

She was terrified.

Because among those who like it, there is both kindness and malice.

Then one day, suddenly, a large group of people from the Holy See came to him.

They declare that they have been chosen by God and that God has given them strength.

As a god, she deserves to be a saint of the Holy See.

But, God, since you are so omnipotent......

Why, when I was hurt by the affection of others, I prayed the same.

Why didn't you come to the child's aid when she prayed?

Why do you answer her prayers now that you have become a saint?

But the Holy See is, after all, the Holy See that has lived for many years since childhood.

Even if he is not so religious, God is the God He has believed in for so long.

His inexplicable obsession with that man caused God to disappear and caused embarrassment to the Holy See.

This made her mind gradually embarrassed.

However, she still secretly used her power to thwart the pursuit of Mr. Zero.

On the one hand, he owes him exactly what he says: he has shown nothing to himself, and his wishful thinking has brought disaster to him.

On the other hand, it's like there's something in my head like a sixth sense telling me: don't, don't provoke him.

— until this morning.

She felt that the atmosphere in the Holy See was noticeably stranger—though it had been strange since the destruction of the Templar—but the people she knew well, the clergy and nuns, seemed to have disappeared overnight.

The people around him seemed to be watching him faintly.

So, has the Holy See's patience with me reached its limit?

So the saint never left her room.

She was as she had been in the past, like the child of many years ago, in the face of the malicious affection, fear.

The clergy outside all looked like "Holy Maiden, I'm good for you."

"Really...... It's really annoying......" She couldn't help but shudder, just as she had been at the beginning.

"Even if, even if...... It's good to scold me......"

"Why don't you just show your hatred for me......"

"This feeling is really scary......"

Perhaps for the first time since coming to the Holy See, she seems to have changed from a well-cultivated saint back to a child who hid in the quilt and cried.

The noise outside gradually reached its peak.

What happened...... It is not to judge and execute those who stood beside me as "sinners who instigated the Holy Maiden......

The feeling of uneasiness swelled so much that she could scarcely dare to look out the window.

But in the end, she still plucked up the courage to snoop outside.

"How much am I...... It's also a little bit of a grown-up. ”

If Mr. Zero had known about her mental activity, he would have laughed.

He would tell the saint that she was an anomaly.

Like the adopted daughter of the blind old man, something anomalous. Or rather, anomalous people born with special abilities?

However, it cannot be denied that she must not have been created by God.

After all, all abnormalities are "created" by God in the final analysis.

True God.

......

"Breathe calmly, breathe must be calm......"

In the days leading up to the king's departure, the princess had everything planned.

"Father, you underestimate your daughter too much, and trust your daughter too much......" She trembled slightly and said to herself, then suddenly shook her head violently.

"Why are you saying these strange things, I'm not trying to rebel...... I'm not trolling......" she thought to herself, a little confused, "I just want to help Mr. Zero...... That's all......"

If Mr. Zero is an anomaly, this unwittingly makes women go crazy, and I don't know if it's one of the supernormal powers.

The maid behind her looked a little sad.

The pure scent of the white lily of the princess she loved had faded away.

Just because of that strange man, the princess is gradually moving towards a twisted black path.

What can I do if I want to correct it?

I'm just a maid.

However, since he chose to be loyal to her......

In any case, the princess's abilities amazed the maid.

Even she, who had stepped into the realm of the anomalous, was amazed.

The planning of such a big situation not only represents her wisdom, but also represents the huge power that she has in her hands that she has not even realized.

But the phrase "Mr. Zero once taught me ......" that came out of her mouth from time to time always made the maid extremely troubled.

She began to think about some conspiracy theories, probably that the so-called "Mr. Zero" had been planning to do this (usurpation) for a long time.

"Princess, you ......"

"Call me Princess. The royal daughter represents the right of inheritance. ”

"......Who are you?"

"Although I was a 'royal daughter' before my brother was born, after the appearance of male heirs, according to custom, I should not inherit it. ”

"But the king didn't know ...... And you're a former queen......"

"That's what my father meant. She clapped her palms lightly, "It's just right, I myself asked to be banished from the royal family after this time, there is nothing to dispute at all." I also love my cute brother, but in the future...... Even if I don't want to, there will be other people who want to use me as a banner to fight for power. It's just a hundred, and it won't hurt him. ”

She said happily, "Without the aura of the royal family, I can stay at Mr. Zero's house every day without leaving~ Hehe, I want to ......"

Looking at the princess who seemed to be in a fantasy again, no, the princess, the maid couldn't help frowning.

She was deeply worried about her master's future.

She is already an "adult", and she will no longer be a "child" like Wang Nu, even if she is an extremely smart "child".

That "Mr. Zero", who can't see through himself at all, will he treat you well after you lose the glory of the royal family? Will he recognize you as a "fiancée"?

No matter how much you are infatuated, what about it?

He doesn't seem to like you very much...... Rather, it seems that the constant desire to avoid you is real.

Regardless of what the maid thought, the princess clenched her fists, "No matter what it will be later, at least this time I have to prove it......"

"I'm better than that woman! I'm so much stronger than that woman!"

"I'm going to prove it to everyone...... Mother is much, much better than the false queen who now seduces her father......"
