On the outskirts of Solomon City, a huge anti-magic magnetic field tower was re-erected.

The arc of scorching dark blue, as the signal command from the command station was issued, began to jump along the layers of coils around the tower, flashing a beautiful and deep halo.

The anti-magic field is on.

At that moment, Nora, who was on the podium in the distance, found that her spirituality had been visibly suppressed.

"There are 4 levels of anti-magic magnetic field, and each level can reduce the upper limit of the level in the coverage area by 10 levels." On the railing of the command platform, Innocent looked at the huge tower in the distance and said lightly, "At the moment, we are in second gear. ”

"There are more than 400 such towers, which envelop the whole of Italy and the peninsula. Any transcendent who enters here will be completely spiritually suppressed - since the upper limit of the environmental level has been reduced to 0, the transcendent in it will not be able to receive any spiritual replenishment, and will soon become indistinguishable from ordinary people. ”

"Is this change permanent?" Nora asked cautiously.

"Not really." Innocent sighed, "It's just that I can't use the ability for the time being." ”

"In fact, as long as you wait for the next magic tide to rise, the inner coils of these magnetic towers will all be destroyed. At that time, all the evil that lurks in Italy and Canada will all burst out. ”

"There are still 4 high tides until the magic tide reaches its peak at Lv.40. In other words, the Holy See will pass through four more such dangerous periods, and each one will be more dangerous than the last. ”

"And the price of our defeat, you've seen in the previous mutations."

"Ugh." Nora didn't know what to say, she remembered what she had seen in the Tree of Spirits, the eroded helpless people. If it weren't for Mi'er who managed to save them......

The Spirit Tree itself is equivalent to a demigod-level existence, and as the upper limit of the Demon Tide level continues to rise, there will only be more and more such demigods.

What will the world be like then?

"When the Demon Tide level is at its highest, everyone can embark on the path to godhood, and there will be no peace in this world." Innocent leaned his arm against the railing, "In the eyes of the gods, humans are like ants, they can be completely disregarded or even ignored. ”

"And what kind of damage will the war between the gods cause to the world of ordinary people? Even a fool can imagine it. ”

"However, the gods don't care." The Pope stared at the magnetic tower in the distance, "What arrogance this is. ”

"Is there really no way?" Nora asked worriedly.

"There have been a total of six Demonic Tide Rises in history." Innocent said lightly, "Almost every high tide brings great disorder and chaos. ”

"Needless to say, the first and second times. The first Magic Tide Rising Cycle knocked the scientific and technological civilization that mankind is proud of into dust, degrading from the interstellar colonization era to the Iron Age; The second time destroyed our ability to protect ourselves, and we almost fell into the situation of being captured and enslaved by foreign races. ”

"The Third Wave occurred at the end of the Second Age, destroying the splendid culture of Ancient Cyris. The 5th Demon Tide, the fall of the Western Solomonic Empire; In the 6th Demon Tide, the Frankish Empire was torn apart, and the entire continent was like a plate of scattered sand. ”

"Wait." Nora suddenly realized that something was wrong, "What about the 3rd Demon Tide?" ”

"The Third Demon Tide, which occurred nearly 2,000 years ago, is recognized as the cause of the end of the ancient Solomon Republic." "However, compared to the changes of other eras, from the Third to the Quaternary, there were not many wars on the entire continent. ”

"Because...... Julius Caesar, huh? Nora thought for himself.

"Yes." Innocent happily admitted, "Caesar was born at the end of the Tertiary Age, and when he was five years old, the first wave of demons began to rise. ”

"As for how he stood out among the transcendentals and eventually became the world's 'number one transcendental' and 'first citizen', these are all recorded in the history books, and you can refer to them casually."

"But what we need to consider is that if the rising tide of the demon tide will break the existing order, then why can't we hope for the emergence of a supreme transcendent being who will lead the Holy See and humanity in the chaos and rebuild a new order on the ruins of the old order?"

"Just as Caesar did, crush all rivals with absolute strength, and then bring ancient Solomon from a republic to an empire - of course, we have to admit that the transition from democracy to dictatorship was a regression of the system of government, but it was the most suitable for Solomon at the time, after all, you can't expect the superior to cede power to ordinary people."

"But even if he is as strong as Caesar, he died in assassination." "He didn't end up being emperor of the empire and seeing for himself the new order he had established." ”

"Caesar's tendency to get out of control was already very strong at that time, and it is said that his sanity was so low that he had to experience 3-4 illusions a day, and his two lieutenants, Mark. Anthony and Lepida can only extrapolate that 'he is guilty of severe epilepsy'. Innocent patted the railing, "Any power has a corresponding price to pay." ”

"Are you scared?" The Pope's gaze turned to Nola's face.

"Nope." Nora shook her head slowly, "From the moment I set foot on this path, I knew I couldn't turn back. ”

"Miss Nola." Innocent whispered, "Actually, the Holy See has been watching you. ”

"Of course, it was Raphael who first noticed the change in you. It thinks you'...... A lot of potential. ”

"Potential?" Nora was surprised.

"Yes, potential." Innocent turned his head and looked back at the horizon at infinity.

"The potential to be the Caesar of this age."

…… Become, Caesar?

By the time Nora had recovered from her ramblings again, she had returned to the door of the Licinius Mansion.

Order in the city was quickly restored. The news of the opening of the anti-magic magnetic field seems to have given the whole city a shot in the arm, and even many businesses can't wait to open their doors despite the fact that the change has just subsided.

Back at home, Nora saw Sheila and Mia sitting at a desk by the window, reading like students, with a large pile of books on the table.

"Asker." She shouted.

"Oh, you're back." Aske lay back in his rocking chair and raised his gaze lazily.

"Where's Peggy? Why didn't she help you rock the chair? Nora laughed and quipped with him, "What about the others?" ”

"They're shopping again." Aske was a little helpless.

"Sheila and Mia, what are you doing here......"

"They're volunteering to go the extra mile to keep up with the team's average schedule." Asker said.

Nora noticed Mia's imperceptible roll of her eyes.

"Does this really work?" She asked with a smile as she came to Asker's back and began to push his rocking chair for him.

"You're also a college student, do you think the surprise revision during exam week will help you with your final exam?" Asker asked lazily.

"If only the induction law ritual could be as simple as an exam." Nora said with emotion.

"That's why you need to put in more effort, right?" Asker raised his arm and pointed to the desk and chair piled high with books behind Sheila, "See?" ”

"Don't you want to condense the laws of evolution? I've got all the relevant books for you from the library, go ahead. ”

Nola: ..................

Are you the devil!

She had wanted to talk to Asker about what the Pope said today, "Julius Caesar has established a new order", but since the head of the regiment had given the order, Miss Nola, who was designated as the "next Caesar", could only come and sit down behind Sheila rather speechlessly, and began to review the books that Asker had brought from the library.

"The Origin of Species", "Selfish Genes", "Guns, Germs and Steel...... She couldn't help but droop her expression and make a sad face.

When do you have to see so many books?!

When Eleanor and the others got home, they saw that it was already dark outside the window. With the bright lights on the ceiling, the three girls were sitting at their desks and fighting with their heads, like students who were about to revise for an exam.

"What are they ......," Eleanor asked in surprise.

"I'm trying to catch up with you." Asker said as he lay in his rocking chair with his eyes closed.

"Ugh." Eleanor was a little speechless, and Peggy ran to Sheila in a hurry and said proudly:

"You want the law of sensing, don't you? Ask me! I'm particularly experienced in this area! ”

"Your experience is to hold Asker's corpse and cry so much, that you want to die for him immediately." Sheila lowered her head and took notes alone, without raising her head.

Peggy: ..................

Sheila was dumbfounded, and could only turn back to Asker for help.

"Don't show off, Peggy." Asker was also a little speechless. As a hanger, don't mislead people into working hard, okay, "Your promotion experience, cough, is relatively unique, and basically has no reference value." ”

"Asker, are you complimenting me on my talent?" Peggy said with a grin, and walked up behind Asker and helped him lift the rocking chair.

This guy was actually conscious of his own hanging, so that Asker almost had no groove to vomit, so he could only not speak.

"When are they going to learn?" Eleanor sat down next to her and asked Asker, "Does this really work?" ”

"I'll tell you quietly." Aske whispered, "Probably only psychologically. ”

"Then you're still tricking them into studying like this?" Eleanor was incredulous.

"The psychological effects are also useful." "Don't forget that this is idealism, and if you believe that you are deepening your understanding of a certain law, it will gradually become a reality. ”

Elinor:..................

"Mi'er." Aske turned his head and said, "Looking at the next few days, is it possible that they will sense the law ritual?" ”

Mi'er was studying the flowers on the high chair by the wall, and when she heard this, she observed the world line:

"I didn't find a similar world line, the probability should be less than 1%."

"So are you sure it really works?" Eleanor couldn't laugh or cry.

"Peace of mind." Asker glared at her, "Do you expect anyone to be able to sense the law in a matter of days?" You have to know who it was at the beginning, just learning the Unyielding Holy Sword for a year? ”

"I'm a transcendent swordsman!" Eleanor's face flushed, and she defended, "Extraordinary swordsmanship and law...... Can it be the same? ”

"Asker, I also want to learn transcendent swordsmanship." "But I'm used to using a battle axe, is there anything I can learn from the extraordinary axe?" ”

"I'll learn extraordinary swordsmanship very quickly, will it be Eleanor's own problem?" Peggy fully explains what it means to "say less if you can't speak".

The three girls were chattering and arguing, and the other three were reading by the window, and only Medea and Mi'er stayed quietly studying the flowers, and from time to time they whispered something about something.

Hey? Asker suddenly wondered, when did the relationship between the two become so good?

At that moment, Vesta's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"Your Excellency, the Holy See has sent you an urgent message."

"What's the matter?" Asker asked.

"The Norman navy of Sicily, launched an attack on Calabria a few minutes ago." Vesta spoke quickly, "A demigod of House Outville has been confirmed to be involved in this war. ”

"They began to invade Italy."
