Chapter 57: The Truth That Is Gradually Being Revealed
"She told me that she was going to use herself as bait to lure all of you 'Little Red Riding Hood' who came to round her up to a remote corner away from the Holy See, and then kill them in one fell swoop."
With that, Alex's giant claws suddenly turned into a void, heading towards where Serra was standing, under the hood.
Ancient Magic: Beastmaster Hundred Claws!
"Oh? Not to mention whether you have the ability to achieve the results of this so-called plan, and what benefits can you get from doing so? ”
Seeing the opponent's claw net attacking, Serra raised her eyebrows, put her sword on her chest, her eyes suddenly flashed, and her whole body suddenly turned into a huge ball of light.
Daybreak: Infinite Sword of Light!
At that moment, it can be described as a gray sun, an old demon fighting a new god.
On one side, there is a demonic spirit, as if it wants to swallow the sky and eat the moon, and on the other side, it is the mighty sky, which seems to want to cleanse the world.
As soon as the sun and the overwhelming gray light came into contact, it seemed to have a fierce chemical reaction, making a sound of "clack", and the two completely different energies were also colliding, tearing, and encroaching on each other all the time.
But even in the face of such a fierce offensive, the two of them still talked non-stop like old friends.
I saw that Serra continued to speak while increasing her strength:
"For Leom, even if we are killed here, not only will it not change the situation that she is wanted by the Holy See, but it will cause her to be retaliated against by the Holy See even more violently."
"Even if you, Alex, even if you accept your so-called 'vote' to the Danish royal family, the war will eventually end, but Denmark will always be part of the European community."
The implication of her words is naturally self-evident, that is, the day the war ends, that is, you heretics are cooked by rabbits and dead dogs.
"Even if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Denmark applies the technology you gave them and transforms all the soldiers into mutant werewolves, but after you are sure that you give the Holy See enough excuse to intervene in the war, will Denmark still be able to win this war in the end?"
Alex was still urging the magic energy in his body, wrestling with Serra, and said slowly word by word:
"Hey, hey, actually, killing you here, in addition to accepting the 'vote', there is another purpose, that is, to release a signal to the dark world of all Europe."
At this, Alex smiled cruelly.
"Oh, what signal?"
Serra asked, suspicious.
"Quite simply, even 'Little Red Riding Hood' is a sign that it can be killed."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Little Red Riding Hood' can certainly be killed. ”
In fact, what she said was right, she was just stating an objective fact - "Little Red Riding Hood" is a living thing, and a living thing, of course, can be killed by some means.
But Alex shook his head and smiled while increasing the force in his hand again:
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say."
"What I really want to convey to the dark world is, 'Look, it doesn't matter if I kill Little Red Riding Hood, if it's handled properly, what can the Holy See do to me.'"
"What, you, you madman!"
Serra was immediately shocked when she heard this, she obviously understood the hidden meaning of his words - Alex wanted to "kill" not "Little Red Riding Hood" itself, but the authority they represented.
Nowadays, the reason why the Holy See is able to control the dark world is not because the Holy See has the power to crush the entire dark world, but because the Holy See has the strength to defeat any single dark force.
Therefore, the forces of all parties did not want to be "shot in the head", so they showed a certain degree of forbearance and submission to the Holy See.
In other words, the reason why the dark world can be ruled by the Holy See is more because of fear.
But in fact, this is just a balance, a dangerous illusion.
When someone really dares to "shoot" the Holy See and retreats, this balance will be broken.
Because when he or they complete this behavior, they will subconsciously release such a signal to more people or groups who are waiting to see, "Why can't he and I can't?" ”
As a result, more and more forces will test the authority of the Holy See, and the Holy See, which is tired of coping, will inevitably turn a blind eye to more and more "transgressions", thus forming a vicious circle, and in the end, it is only a matter of time before the Holy See's control over the dark order collapses.
In other words, it is an invitation, a dangerous invitation to the whole dark world.
Seeing that Serra's face changed several times, Alex suddenly continued in a happy mood:
"See, sometimes what looks like an impregnable edifice can quickly fall into danger of collapsing if only a brick and a half are pulled out of its critical parts."
"Again, this time we only need a small opportunity to rewrite the order of the entire dark world, so why not? You say yes, right? ”
"Imagine how many pairs of eyes are silently watching you in the dark, right? The old gods, the Esoteric Order, the dark creatures that lurk in the night, and those who are simply different from your ideas and denounced by you as heretics, are eager to pull your tendons, strip your skins, and tear you to pieces. ”
"I don't think it will take them to realize that they don't really have to compete with you Holy See eagle dogs, after all, there are so many churches, properties, and monasteries under the Holy See, they just need to do something within their 'ability', and it is enough."
"And, I think I need to correct you again, as I said just now, it was not me who made this plan, but your former companion, Leum von Einzbergeren."
"I have to say that the 'declaration of sin' cultivated by your Holy See really understands your own weaknesses very clearly."
"Although it's only a temporary partnership, even I have to admire and say that she is really a great person, hahahaha."
Saying this, he suddenly changed his words.
"Oh, after all that, I think you can finally understand my struggle, right? In that case, please do well, and as a 'sacrifice' for this feast, let me go obediently on the road!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying demonic energy that filled the heavens and the earth immediately exploded from his surroundings, and instantly blew away the dark clouds formed by the "lightning storm" that was nearing the end.
