Human beings are inherently contradictory creatures.

As a social creature, it has a strong sense of territory, and at the same time will show a considerable degree of aggression towards both male and female kinds, as the only highly intelligent creature species on this planet, this contradiction of human beings is probably because of its intelligence.

This is because even as partners who have established a social relationship with each other through various conditions, they will be hostile to and even attack each other because of differences in self-consciousness.

What is more terrible than class contradictions is often the contradictions among the people...... This sentence said by the original Celestial Empire superhero "Chang Kai" during the civil war is undoubtedly a clear proof of this ideology.

In fact, even with the passage of time, the great unity of the battle of the century, and the recent consolidation of the United Council of the Savior, there are still all kinds of contradictions and conflicts within the seemingly monolithic whole of the Savior.

Probably because of the relationship that has always been brainwashed by the "natural hostility" between the savior and the evil villain, Yi Cheng completely ignored such a possibility before, if it weren't for the fact that the facts are in front of him now, he probably wouldn't have thought that the enemy who dared to openly do things in the Holy See turned out to be the same from within the savior.

"This probably explains why the referee was attacked without anyone noticing, and why the garrison was anomalously mobilized before."

The divine defensive formation adopted by the Holy See is more to guard against the offensive taken by dark and evil creatures such as the Dark Council and the Hell Demon King, so it greatly strengthens the detection of this kind of extraordinary ability, and correspondingly reduces the detection ability of ordinary types of extraordinary abilities, after all, as the largest organization of extraordinary abilities, as well as its own transcendent nature and strength, the Holy See never worries about having allies' knives stabbed in its back.

But this time...... It looks like it's capsized in the gutter.

"What do you Ashkandi Brotherhood want to do! Attacking a high-ranking member of the Holy See in the Lord's church is an attempt to provoke war? ”

As the papal see's foreign speaker and a more detached person than the rest of the cardinals, Cardinal Richelieu had already stepped forward and spoke sternly before the pope could speak.

However...... In Yi Cheng's opinion, such a style is obviously useless, after all, it is not an ordinary human who is talking to her, but an artificial intelligence robot equipped with autonomous consciousness.

"Cardinal Richelieu, please restrain your emotions."

The robot who called himself Alexia smiled, ignoring Richelieu's questioning and reprimand.

"I think you should be more worried about the safety and whereabouts of your referee now, shouldn't you?"

“…… Well, Richelieu. ”

Hearing this, His Majesty paused lightly on the scepter in his hand and motioned for Richelieu to stand back.

"It seems that His Majesty the Pope is more aware of the current situation."

Seeing this, Alexia showed a sly smile rather humanely.

"I'm sure you've learned everything through the Great Prophecy, so the conversation between us will be a lot easier."

"Wait a minute......"

Although I don't want to get involved in this mess, I think about the baptism ceremony that has just been completed, and yesterday in the bathhouse...... The baptismal pool can be regarded as taking advantage of the Holy See's vote, and Yi Cheng couldn't help but interject in the end.

"Whatever your aim, the newly formed United Council of Saviors explicitly prohibits members of the Savior Organization from attacking other members of the Savior Church who have identified themselves as Saviors without a legal certificate from the Council......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Cheng saw Alexia casually show him a document with the official seal on it.

"Well, this is the approval of the Speaker of the Council, Master Hong."

"Huh?"

Before Yi Cheng, who looked confused, could say anything about it, he was pulled by the hourglass.

"Don't be ashamed, now is not the time for you to carry forward your gentlemanly style and heroically save beauty."

"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"I'm not done yet."

The hourglass glanced at the smiling Alexia, then whispered a reminder in Yi Cheng's ear.

"In fact, the Ashkandi Brotherhood itself is not a tight-knit organization, and its members can also join other messianic organizations at the same time, so ......"

Her voice paused for a moment, then gave an answer that shocked Yi Cheng.

"Mentor Red himself is actually a member of this brotherhood organization."

"Poof!"

Yi Cheng hated to take a mouthful of old blood, and sprayed an hourglass in his face at that time.

"Why didn't you say such important information earlier?!"

"It was I who misestimated the closeness of your relationship with the Red Mentor."

In this regard, the hourglass seems to be invigorating.

"Based on the relationship between you and the Red Mentor, I thought you should know about this kind of thing."

“…… Why should I know such a thing? ”

As a gentleman, it is not enough to know the color and type of flowers that women like, birthdays, the anniversary of the first bang, the date of coming to the aunt, and the brand of sanitary napkins they are used to!

"Besides, how can the woman of the Red Mentor get involved in such a thing?!"

"How do I know?"

The hourglass pouted, looking like it didn't matter to him.

"Regarding this matter, since Mentor Red is doing this, there must be a reason for her, so we just need to be quiet and be a good bystander."

“……”

Although I feel that this is quite a kind of negative suspicion of abandonment from the beginning to the end, it ...... Considering that he really hasn't had any unclear relationship with the sisters of the Holy See, and now that Mentor Red himself is also involved in the incident, Yi Cheng can only take a fair and just attitude...... Remain a neutral spectator for the time being.

Fortunately, the little Pope did not expect Yi Cheng to play a mediating role in this matter—perhaps all this was also the result of the Great Prophecy, and in short, when Yi Cheng decisively withdrew her eggs, she once again made her attitude clear in a soft but not weak tone.

"I know exactly what you want, but I can't allow that to happen."

"No, before you refused, because the bargaining chips were not enough, and now ......"

Robot Alexia smiled.

"An intact, unharmed judge, and a ten-year peace agreement between the Ashkandi Brotherhood and the Holy See, I think that's enough leverage for you to make the right and wise decision, isn't it?"

“……”

If the current conditions are judged by the hostile attitudes of both sides, then it is undeniable that this robot with excellent negotiation skills has given enough conditions to make the leaders of any organization excited.

But now the problem is...... What do these Brotherhood want from the Holy See?

Knowing that curiosity kills cats, it can also kill the protagonist, but Yi Cheng couldn't help but ask this question after all.

"What the hell...... Enough for you to deal with the Holy See, which is also a messianic organization, by any means necessary, even at the cost of taking hostages? ”

"Ah, wait a minute......"

If Alexia hadn't noticed Yi Cheng's existence before, then now, when he spoke up for the second time, she, as an artificial intelligence mechanical creation, wouldn't have made the same mistake for the second time.

Codename...... The protagonist, is it a subordinate of His Excellency the Red Mentor? The Red Mentor has informed some of the high-ranking members of the Ashkandi Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood is currently discussing the possibility and specifics of recruiting you into the organization......"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to join the club for the time being."

Not to mention that this fraternity and other Western-style settings make Yi Cheng himself quite uninterested, just looking at the role he played in this incident, Yi Cheng even felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with the misguided woman of the Red Mentor after he returned to the Celestial Empire.

"That's a pity, but don't make a hasty decision unilaterally until it's really decided."

Hearing Yi Cheng's answer, Alexia only expressed her opinion slightly, and then, she changed her words and actually answered Yi Cheng's previous question.

"As for your question...... Actually, this matter has something to do with you, so it's not impossible to tell you. ”

"Something to do with me?"

Yi Cheng is really more curious now, because, if it's something related to himself, then ...... Perhaps the Red Mentor was involved and approved the Brotherhood's attack on the Holy See, which is understandable, but the question is ......

What was the purpose of the Red Mentor who would rather sacrifice the friendship between the Celestial Empire and the Holy See?

The next moment, Alexia's explanation finally revealed the answer.

"Our target is Leah, the puppeteer."

"Puppeteer...... Leah? ”

When Yi Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the cardinals and the little pope girl whose face did not fluctuate in any way.

That legendary...... Could the guy who can single-handedly fight against the world's supernatural abilities be in this Holy See now?
