Chapter 855: Transcendent Enlightenment
Whether it is the crown of being a king or a territory, it is not as important to Arecusso as his own obsession, what he desires is what no mortal can give, and now he does not lack wealth, strength or power, what he lacks is enough time and a place to complete the transformation with peace of mind.

Allowing the divine power to prevail over the royal power, Arreguso was well aware of the dreams of the goddess Ishtar, who had constructed a great blueprint, a glorious age that she had built with the humanity she believed in. The followers of the goddess in the Holy See are also fanatical vassals of this blueprint, and Arleguso does not mind doing what he likes, and it does not matter if he sends the kingdom of Belrama to become a sacrifice of the Holy See in order to fulfill his obsession.
However, it is not okay to be too hasty and urgent, after all, the decision he made cannot be too far from Dean's nature.
Caution isn't a bad thing for demons either!
"I'm sure all of you here must wonder if I have secretly made any agreement with Bishop Iseno. Dean looked around and spread his hands and said, "And what I want to say is please put away your doubts, and please note what I said, my brother and I, whoever ascends to the throne, should believe in the Holy See to spread the teachings of the goddess, and should not pass the buck to all kinds of obstacles with the same suspicion as before, and then let the demons once again take advantage of our mutual suspicion." ”
Victor seemed to be unable to sit still any longer: "Dean, do you know what you're talking about?"
"Of course, brother, I don't want this to happen to the kingdom of Bellama, that's all. ”
Victor suddenly looked angry, as if he couldn't believe that it was his brother's words.
Dean looked directly at his brother and said loudly: "Open your eyes and look at the world again, brother, can't you see that everything has changed, and it is difficult for mortals to compete with forces outside the world." ”
Victor wanted to loudly accuse his brother of this rebellious speech of offering the king's hands to him, and he also wanted to use this to belittle his brother and make everyone present support him, a prince who was willing to defend the legitimate rights of the kingdom of Bellama, but when Victor's eyes were aimed at the Angel of Judgment next to the cardinal, Victor found that his throat was like a fish bone stuck and he couldn't speak.
Many members of the royal family and nobles also remained silent and watched, in fact, the people who can sit here to meet the messenger of the goddess are not fools, if they are fools, it is impossible to climb to today's position in this noble circle that is polite on the surface but is really the weak, although Dean's words sound harsh, but it is indeed the truth, if there is no assistance from the gods that night, it is very difficult to repel the demons by relying on the power of the Bellama Kingdom alone, especially the two powerful demons who arrived at the end, according to the estimates afterwards, if the regular army has been combined with domestic mages to fight, then it will take at least tens of thousands of dead and wounded to defeat the two demons, and this is not yet considered whether more demons will enter the royal capital.
No way! After analyzing the recorded images, it can be seen that the terrifying and hideous appearance of the demon is a very serious blow to the morale of the army, after all, the soldiers are trained on weekdays to deal with the same secular forces, the first time to face the existence beyond the world, the shaking of morale is conceivable, but the demon side is different, those hideous demons are completely crazy and crazy, in the face of the thunder and lightning that the Angel of Judgment can turn them into ashes in an instant, those slightly weaker demons can still rush forward with their own flesh and blood to consume the power of the thunder and lightning sword without fear of death, only after the last two powerful demons retreat to hell, those weak demons will follow and retreat, and not a single demon had taken a step back before that.
Such armies that are even crazier than the most fanatical fanatics may be slightly inferior to an army that is already in formation, even if they are disorganized and disorganized, but once these monsters break through or engage in chaotic street fighting, they are far more destructive than any well-trained army.
"I applaud your awakening, Your Highness Dean. Cardinal Essano nodded kindly, obviously pleased with these words: "A good king should regard the safety of the people as his own, ladies and gentlemen! The Holy See has tried to accommodate the secular royal power for so many years, and sometimes the Holy See wants to establish churches in some areas to spread the doctrine, which is often seen by you as competing for the hearts and minds of the people, but today you should all realize the true intention of the Holy See. ”
Everyone was speechless for a while, and some nobles who originally believed in the Holy See bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at the cardinal.
Grand Duke Reeves stood up with one hand on his chest and saluted slightly: "Your Excellency, Cardinal, you are a wise man worthy of respect. I also understand that this demonic invasion of the king seems to be Silvado's misguided path on the surface, but both the royal family and the ministers have an unshirkable responsibility, and it was our negligence that caused such a tragic ending, but please see that the Kingdom of Belrama has been committed to mediating the disputes of the countries for many years and has always adhered to the teachings of the goddess, please give the royal family of Karenta a chance. ”
"You have misunderstood Your Excellency the Duke, the Holy See does not want to deprive the royal family of its rights, from the moment it was first established, the mission of the Holy See is to fight against demons, and the Holy See only hopes to spread the doctrine to unite all mankind, completely block the passage of demons into our world, so that mankind and even all countries can promote the progress of the world in a stable environment. ”
The cardinal's words were impartial, sincere and passionate, but the royal family and nobles were still skeptical.
The Lord of Slaughter, Areguso, knows this very well, after the power is in the hands of a person, even at the moment when his life is at stake, human beings will not let go, he will always be suspicious of the good intentions of others, suspect whether others want to take away the power from his hands, but more importantly, the Holy See does want to take away part of their rights from the hands of the king.
No matter how the doctrine of the Holy See is proclaimed, no matter how nice the cardinals say, this essence does not change.
"Demons! These evil and filthy monsters from the abyss are not only enemies of the Lord, but also enemies of all living beings in the world! They hate life, they hate peace, and the nature of chaos and disorder allows demons to spread death and destruction only on the earth, which the Lord does not want to see, and the Lord has sent holy messengers to fight against demons for countless years. ”
That's more than 13,000 years┉┉
"In order to prevent demons from entering our world, the Holy See was established at the behest of our Lord and has always preached equality and harmony in accordance with the teachings, in order to prevent demons from infiltrating our world through the hands of mortals. ”
The so-called mortals probably do not include elves, dwarves, orcs and other alien races
"Fighting demons is the greatest mission of the Holy See, and the Holy See does not want to focus too much on secular kingship, but only hopes that kings will pay more attention to their people, because all human beings on the earth are the most favored children of the Lord, and no mother wants to see her children go astray. ”
In fact, in addition to us, the five supreme gods of the Holy Capital, as well as those who survived in the second generation, are also your worst enemies
In the chamber, the scene of Cardinal Iseno's impassioned speech and the vicious misinterpretation of each of his words by the Killing Lord Areguso seemed a little comical and ridiculous, but the cardinal's eloquence was obviously good, and the statement after borrowing the words of Prince 'Dean' made the royal family and nobles unable to argue.
However, what made these royals and nobles who usually stood high and high was that Alfiel, the Angel of Judgment, had not spoken a word since the beginning of his recollection, as if this meeting had nothing to do with him. Or, rather, the Judgment Angel did not care about the outcome of this meeting from the beginning, and it seemed that whatever outcome he came up with, he would correct it to the predetermined result.
And this outright disregard is even more uncomfortable than outright opposition.
"Your Highness Dean, do you think you can make a good king?" Eventually, the cardinal threw the question back up.
Alegusso also stood up, took a deep breath with Dean's appearance, and said: "At this moment, I don't want to boast of being both civil and military, to tell you the truth, I am not as good as my brother Victor when it comes to government affairs. ”
The eldest prince Victor and his supporters were stunned, not only that, but even Dean's supporters were very surprised, the second prince Dean and the eldest prince Victor have been fighting for the throne for so many years, the two are closer to each other and have been proving themselves stronger than each other on many occasions, but why did His Royal Highness Dean, who got the cardinal's affection today, take the initiative to admit that he is not as good as his brother.
Looking around, Arreguso looked at the faces that were staring at him with various expressions, and what he longed for was not the right to talk about it better than nothing:" I know you may be skeptical, but after witnessing the demons and angels, and witnessing the supreme power of the goddess, I have completely awakened, brother, think about it, how ethereal and ethereal the things we used to fight so desperately were, the kingdom of Bellama has been established for hundreds of years, but demons can destroy all the glory of the royal family for hundreds of years and the kings of the past almost overnight. ”
Speaking of this, Dean shook his head and said as heavy as a person who has realized a great understanding: " I thought about it for a day and finally figured out what kind of relationship the relationship between the king and the people was, in the past I always thought that I was a member of the royal family, the legitimate heir to the throne, and the rightful ruler and ruler, but when the demon came, the royal family and the nobles fled, and the messengers of the goddess fought bravely against the demon, and afterwards people sang the true name of the goddess, and the glory of the goddess instead of us who were born great and legitimate royals, why?"
"Because we have forsaken the people and fled in times of crisis, and the messengers of the goddess are the front-line defenders, and for the people they don't care who is the ruler, who cares who can give them a better life, who can keep them safe, who is their ruler. ”
Aleguso said with emotion against Dean's appearance, if it has been Yalin's eyes, the acting skills of this killing master can win the Academy Award in a few minutes, you must know that this is in front of the Angel of Judgment, the insight and perception of the transcendent are very amazing, even if there is a slight dissonance will be noticed by the other party, but Aleguso has done it to the point of naturalness, and he can't see that these words are from the demon of disorder, as if it is Dean himself who made an impassioned speech after contemplating and changing his mind, so that all the people who are most familiar with Dean here did not notice anything wrong。
Dean let out a long breath, looked at the stunned royal family members and nobles and said with realization: "So I have completely woken up and understood the duty of a king, I must protect the people and be recognized by the people, so that the people will give me the right to rule, I will not make stupid decisions in order to protect a little profit, and I will no longer put the people in danger in order not to damage the power in my hands." ”
"This is my enlightened brother, if you still cling to the old idea of monopolizing power like your father, and continue to exclude the Holy See for a little power and put the people to the slaughter of demons, then you are not worthy to sit on the throne, and even if you do, you will not sit for long. ”
Suddenly the audience was shocked, the eldest prince Victor's face became even pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, even Isseno, a cardinal who read the teachings of the goddess, couldn't help but sigh again and again for Dean's speech, this is a child who has completely awakened under the majesty of the goddess, it is really commendable!
"If this is your enlightenment┉┉Dean Karenta!"
At this time, the Angel of Judgment, who had been silent, finally spoke for the first time: "You no longer seem to be a mortal, but a transcendent!"
Hidden beneath Dean's face, the Slaughter Master Areguso smirked, "Of course he's not a mortal but a transcendent like you, Arfield, the Angel of Judgment!" )
