Chapter 37: The Fallen Angel
「… Is this possible?"
The trumpet doesn't want to believe, "So the church doesn't have enough profit at all!
"Pope, as an angel of the "savior" type, it is impossible for him to do anything that has nothing to do with saving the world, otherwise he will directly lose his power; At the same time, as a superior who has inherited the wisdom of his predecessors, how can he do such a useless thing?"
He wanted to break his head, and he couldn't think of any point in such a thing other than discrediting the angels and losing the neutral prestige that the church had accumulated for so long in one fell swoop.
"Not necessarily, right?"
Ignorance just sighed, "Originally, they were supposed to wait and see the demon being released, and then they would take a shot to win people's hearts. But now that the demons are going to be destroyed, they are attacking the burial mechanism."
「…… No, it can't be!"
The trumpet suddenly reacted, and even its voice became louder: "Even if this is a conspiracy of the Church—there is absolutely no way that the angels will obey such an evil plan!
"Sow discord, incite war, unleash demons and cause an extinction catastrophe If I receive such an order, I will not hesitate to turn around and cut off the head of the person who gave me the order!"
Is it really impossible?"
Ignorance sneered, "Guess why I still don't have hope in the church? Now it seems that my speculation was correct.
"Before I became an angel, I happened to be doing my Ph.D. in brain science at the church. Father Andrew, who invented the descent device, was my mentor in my previous master's degree.
"Even though I'm one of the first Divine Descent devices, that doesn't mean I don't know anything about it or have expectations for it. I realized it right then. Isn't it essentially a low-powered brainwashing device? I don't think you have any objection to me, do you, Clarion?"
The horn did not reply.
Because it's actually a kind of common sense.
If the church wishes, the "descent device" can actually be a "piety device." All you need to do is enter the airtight container covered with motors, put on the halo device, and connect to the server, and when you wake up again, you may become an angel.
In the process of losing consciousness, their personality has actually been washed countless times.
Every "saint's" mind must be "descended from God" once. After confirming the synchronization rate, then change to other saints and wait for everyone to complete a round, and then grant the aura of a lower angel with the highest synchronization rate.
And at this time, their "advanced" path has also been clarified - whoever has a high synchronization rate with the superior angels, these people will be marked. If it is confirmed that it is safe and controllable, or the battle situation is tight, the corresponding promotion ceremony will be carried out and they will be promoted to the corresponding person.
"Completely brainwashing will not awaken the power of the Holy Order—even the artificial intelligence of our time can easily tell which papers are plagiarized. It's like we've borrowed some of the 'papers' of the previous generations of saints, and then wrote our own graduation project. In order to pass the audit, I revised some of the ...... according to my own understanding It is precisely because of this link that the Church cannot mass-produce angels in the full sense of the word.'"
Because there are always people who can't even copy it.
But if there is no such thing as "review"...
"Then there is no doubt that the Church will brainwash all of us into weapons of obedience. The result of their failure to do so is also clear—that almost all angels today are dissatisfied with the depravity of the church. Compared to them, we are the more orthodox side. The strength of the power of the Holy Rank speaks for itself.
"And the Divine Descent Device is already a hundred years ago. In the 100 years that we have been frozen in ice, will the church sit idly by knowing that angels are not under control?"
Ignorance finally voiced his deepest fears: "I don't think so. Their tentative unsealing of only a small percentage of angels is a testament to the true attitude of the church – that they fear us. They are afraid of angels who will never compromise and will not fall, who will always be pure.
"So, I've always thought that the church must be doing something to optimize the descent device
Examine. Our thaw should be the last chance...... That's why I'm willing to obey the orders of the church and show a posture of obedience.
"—but apparently, there are stupid angels like you, and other empty islands that I can't see or touch, and other angels who don't hide their disgust with the church. So the church confirmed our attitude and proceeded to the last part of the experiment."
The angels who attacked the reinventing mechanism may have completely manipulated their minds or washed their personalities.
Hearing this, the horn suddenly realized something.
He hurriedly confirmed to the Paradise Bird, "How many angels are coming?"
"I don't know, I don't know—but it's a big piece of black press!"
Paradise Bird wasn't sure: "Peter Pan said they were all able to fly as if they were themselves. It's even bigger than his former friends, it's just a cover, I'll ask again!"
With that, she dialed the phone.
But soon, her expression froze.
Paradise Bird was silent for a moment, then looked up.
「……… No signal."
No signal means entering the lower city, the black zone, being in the signal shielding area, or simply physically removing the chip, or losing vital signs.
"At least a few hundred, probably more."
Ignorance concluded.
Seeing that the bird became anxious, the horn patted her head and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, it just means that the situation is not the worst..."
"It shows that the power of their holy rank has been significantly weakened. Angels are the top legion-level combat power in this era. In the case of the elven directors not making a move, a company of angels is enough to easily bulldoze the entire empty island with a single-digit battle loss.
"And so many of them are attacking the Enforcement Department, where the psionic level is no more than level three, and most of them are below level two, and they can also let Peter Pan send the news.... It means that they don't have the intensity of ignorance and trumpets."
Suddenly the person who spoke was Delphinch, she came to her senses, and her whole temperament changed somewhat. The cold and elegant aura on her body has obviously faded a lot, and it feels more intimate and softer.
There was an almost demonic charm that haunted her, a warm and intoxicating scent that could make people who met her for the first time feel a certain affection for her, like a baked rose wine.
"And that says one more thing...... I've been staring at the airspace and monitoring of Happiness Island all this time. If there are really hundreds of *** people without chips, it is impossible to sneak into the island of happiness without warning and not be discovered by me.
"They may even be the locals of Happiness Island. Because they all have chips on the island, they didn't have any alarm when they gathered at this size - maybe they were in the crowd all the time, but they were ordered to put on the halo they carried with them."
Hearing this, the paradise bird subconsciously touched the top of his head.
She'd done something similar before.
"Brewing Sacred Wine from the Angels of the Old Age to Create the Fallen Angels of the New Age?"
The horn muttered in a low voice, and an expression as ugly as solidified mud appeared on his face: "No wonder"
"Don't be surprised. Your Pope and Russell are now enemies."
For the first time, Delphinium said something that had not been said to the Paradise Bird before: "He seems to be holding some kind of conspiracy to seize power in the world, and has declared war on Russell.
"He's done Cyber Immortal' and uploaded himself to the data layer. Although the technology was not yet perfect and had many loopholes, he didn't want to wait any longer - he wanted to complete the Cyber Immortality Project right away.
"I don't know anything else, but if he wants to carry out this plan... I think it's probably only people who don't have a good life who want to enter the virtual world
"If the angels sang it."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The horn was in shock.
"I'm here after all
I have no evidence and no idea where you stand. Smart people know the truth of intimacy.
"It took less than three minutes for Peter Pan to disconnect. It's definitely too late to stop them now. With the armed executive department all penetrated in an instant, we simply can't organize the combat power to defeat them in a short period of time.
"—but anyway, I'll have to take a look."
Delphinch's expression was serious.
On the contrary, it was the ignorance that had been encouraging her to make a move before, and the first one to scold her: "Where are you running with a big belly? I'm afraid the demon has leaked, and if you get closer, you may die without knowing it!"
"—then count me in."
Wolf Yan's deep voice came from outside the door.
The next thing that walked in was a stack that looked like a subordinate as the head of the Special Operations Department. There is also Wolf Yan's underage girlfriend Kamalse, who is both a father and a mother, and has an actual age of more than 1,000 years—or "Lothar", who was given the name by Wolf Yan.
Smiling malt at the back of the crowd, Kasumi's license card swirling in her hand. Kasumi and Ice Water, whose combat power is still in the realm of mortals, have not come.
"If you want to go, go and I'll stay here and watch over the house."
Ah Zhan, who was still a little cowering, gradually became resolute under the gaze of the delphinch: "I can do it... Delphinium seniors! Leave all the command and liaison work to me. That's all I can do now."
For the first time, he refers to Delphinium as "senior" instead of the customary "minister".
The delphinium looked at him deeply for a long time.
Then he nodded slowly.
Instead of saying "come on" or "I believe in you," she whispered in a calm voice, "Don't let me down."
"As you wish."
Ah Zhan's tone became more and more firm.
