Chapter 953: Aiwass's Pre-War Speech
May 1st.
West coast of Avalon, Midsummershire.
The war is about to begin, and the armies of various countries are gathering here. The passion of the past is gradually cooling down, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeates the surroundings.
Last night's emergency promotion was definitely a good deal in terms of the exchange ratio - with an average exchange ratio of less than 1:2, nearly half of his soldiers were promoted one level. From any perspective, it was a profit, and a big profit.
——But in fact, the sounds coming from inside the legion’s base were not like that.
Although the winning rate has increased sharply, there is an inexplicable panic in the air.
Because it is not obvious whether they are strong or weak if they don't fight; however, the soldiers can directly find that their companions and comrades around them have been injured on a large scale. Especially since this war has a bit of a "no return" flavor, their behavior of withdrawing from the war because of injuries has been condemned by some people.
——Is it possible that they deliberately participated in the promotion ceremony and avoided fighting by getting injured?
After all, the country where the demons descended was the Xingti Kingdom, not their own country.
Not many people were willing to risk a war to save the people of other countries—not to mention that quite a few of them had been hostile to the Star Antimony not long ago.
Iris had originally been facing oppression and threats from Star Antimony. Although there had been no war, the economic and political pressure had continued for many years.
Not to mention, Narcissus and Black Hawk had just gained independence from Star Antimony not long ago. Avalon was even more so - every passionate young man still remembered the curse on the royal family and the assassination of the queen. So even though the Griffin Knights had ridden on Star Antimony and beat him up for several months, there was no voice of war weariness in Avalon.
Under normal circumstances, the risk of the promotion ceremony is high enough that failure could result in disability or even death.
This promotion ceremony set a new record for the lowest mortality rate, and the losers got the chance to leave the war they didn't want to participate in in the first place - so those soldiers who had the opportunity to be promoted but hesitated for various reasons regretted it.
Some of them were afraid of death, and some felt they were not fully prepared. Only a small number of soldiers wanted to ensure they were in good condition to meet the enemy... but almost everyone claimed that they thought so. In this way, those who were promoted became selfish - their purpose became "taking advantage of the situation to get promoted" or "wanting to injure themselves to escape from the military service."
What they find most unacceptable is that... there are actually quite a few people who think this way.
Jealousy, anger, arrogance, laziness...all kinds of discontent are boiling up inexplicably. People are more jealous and angry than usual. Because the number of people who participate in the promotion and those who do not participate in the promotion is very close to 1:1, the situation has become deadlocked and chaos has spread like fire.
Before the war even began, a civil war was about to break out within each legion.
The few people who remained awake sent out requests for help earlier.
——At this point, I’m afraid only Aiwass, who organized the people here, can stop this civil war!
At 4:30 in the afternoon, news came that Aiwass Moriarty was about to arrive.
Then the quarrels and chaos subsided a little and turned into confrontation and cold war.
After all, no matter which country these soldiers came from, they all respected Aiwass.
It's not just because Aiwass, although a human being, became a cardinal and the eternal pope...it's also because Aiwass himself is a devotee of the fifth level.
——For most of the middle and low-level extraordinary people, their understanding of the path of dedication is "good people"; and the higher the level, the better people they are. The second-level devotees are the very good people they can come into contact with, and the third-level devotees are obviously much better than the second-level devotees. They can be regarded as representatives of public opinion recognized and respected by almost everyone in a region... and so on. They dare not even think about what kind of saints the fifth-level devotees are.
Only a very small number of extraordinary people know that high-level devotees are all crazy. And these people are even more in awe of Aiwass - he took the position of Pope from a group of top crazy people! It can be said that he is the craziest among the crazy, and he is definitely not to be messed with.
As Aiwas approached, the coalition camp gradually became quiet.
When Aiwass actually arrived, all the conflicts seemed to disappear. People seemed to become friendly - no one wanted to lose face in front of the respected former pope. Even if they were pretending, they would pretend to be friendly.
Louis Victor was an officer from Fleur-de-Lise—technically, he was a marshal. The supreme commander of the Fleur-de-Lise army.
Although he looked only in his early thirties, he was actually already eighty years old. Naturally, his true identity was a Moon Child from the Blood Sky Division faction.
Although the Son of the Moon has almost controlled half of the upper echelons in the Iris Kingdom... people still have a naturally hostile attitude towards the Son of the Moon.
It's not discrimination, it's fear.
For this reason, no matter who is believed by the public to be the Son of the Moon, for example, when a miracle such as rejuvenation or recovery from a serious illness occurs, he will always publicly deny his identity in the newspapers even though he has been transformed into the Son of the Moon. Even if people know that he is the Son of the Moon, he will never admit it.
——Until now.
That has changed.
The demon army invades the material world - and the Moon Child, who is naturally able to restrain demons, becomes the savior!
The Pope, the Theocracy, the elves... the "holy ones" who are revered by the people, have spoken personally - demanding that the Son of the Moon join the war!
This initially caused dissatisfaction and complaints within the Moon Children population, but the true superiors knew... this was an opportunity.
This is a chance for Yue Zi to clear his name!
Not to mention... His Holiness the Pope has also promised research on the "perfect man".
After discussion, the Moon Children of Iris came to the conclusion that this was a rare Pope who was friendly to the Moon Children.
For this reason, when he heard that Aiwass was coming to inspect, he waited at the gate of the military camp early, wanting to express a friendly attitude to him.
However, Aiwass did not go to the military camp, but went directly to the Temple of the Nine Pillars in Midsummer County.
When Louis learned about this, he hurried to the temple with his men.
This is a very important matter... after all, it concerns a "perfect person"!
Although the Moon Children were very united and united, they had many factions within them. At least the Moon Children of each country naturally included some of the top leaders of each country in their stances. The interests of the Moon Children of Iris and the Moon Children of Narcissus were definitely not completely unified.
They care about the species, but they care about themselves more. Whoever can establish a good relationship with Aiwass first will have a better chance of getting the "Secret of Perfect Man"!
When Louis went to the temple, he was somewhat annoyed to find... that everyone thought so!
The Archmage of the Narcissus Principality, the Legion Commander of the Black Eagle Principality, everyone gathered here - even the Great Guardian of Avalon and his giant griffin!
——What does this have to do with you!
Oh, you're the driver? That's fine...
I saw Aiwas concentrating on performing the sacrament.
Today is May 1st, which can also be considered the holy day of the sand clock.
Although it is less sacred than May 5th, pastors still have to hold services.
As the former Eternal Pope and the son of the Candlelighter, Aiwass no longer needs to kneel down and worship the Ennead Gods respectfully.
This is not the headquarters of the church, so the one enshrined in the temple is not the real Sand Clock.
It was a huge hourglass.
The interior of the hourglass is filled with sand made of topaz, while two trays extend from its sides, which are empty.
"I pray to the god of the sand clock, whose sacred number is five."
Aiwass placed his hands in front of him with his fingers crossed, holding them horizontally with his palms facing inward.
The posture was like burning incense or toasting.
He murmured in a low voice: "God of the connection between heaven and earth, God of harmony of all aspects... Hourglass of balance.
"When the Fallen God comes, peace will cease to exist. Give me the power of balance, and I will defeat the Fallen God..."
As Aiwass prayed, the balance on both sides of the hourglass suddenly moved.
Clear water appeared out of nowhere on one side, and fire ignited on the other side. It swayed for a moment, then regained its balance.
And a strange bright yellow wave spread in all directions along the statue, covering the entire city!
When it penetrated into everyone's body, no matter whether they were human, elf or child of the moon, they all felt a strange sense of warmth.
That is the balancing power of the sand clock!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a clear illusion appeared before their eyes -
No matter where they were, they saw Aiwass standing in front of the hourglass. He was wearing the black robe of a cardinal. His hands were loosened and raised high, with his palms facing forward.
Then he turned around - that glance seemed to be looking at everyone from afar across the broken time and space.
This was also the first time people saw the young Pope.
He wore a black bishop's robe inlaid with golden runes, with a huge emerald green gem on his chest. He had a pair of jade antlers more than ten centimeters long on his head, and his handsome and upright face was shocking and amazing.
His emerald green pupils gradually ignited with bright yellow flames - that was the proof of the overflowing power of balance bestowed upon his body. The pair of antlers on Aiwass's forehead ignited with white flames... It looked like a candle.
"Everyone."
Aiwass suddenly spoke, his voice transcending time and space, resounding in everyone’s heart: “I want to ask you a question.
"——Do you know when was the last time humans fought against gods?"
The first words the Pope said shocked people!
People were terrified, and even the few people in the temple didn't dare to reply.
Finally, it was the Great Guardian who asked tentatively, "Perhaps it is... a change in [royal power]?"
He did not dare to speak the Silver Crown Dragon's honorable name directly, and could only answer vaguely with a pseudonym.
"it's not true."
Aiwass shook his head.
He said frankly: "The reason why the Silver Crown Dragon can defeat the Supreme Heaven is not because he is a human, nor because he is the strongest among humans...
"It's because He is the incarnation of the 'Crown Celestial Master'. It's not that humans defeated gods, but gods defeated gods."
Aiwass said, looking around.
He gave the correct answer: "Humans have never defeated God. Even the Celestials, or even the Apostles, have never won. Except for humans, all other intelligent races have fought against God.
"——Why? Is it that we can't do it?
"But the apostle who comes to the world may not be stronger than you and me!"
Everything Aiwass said was rebellious.
"It's cowardice."
Without waiting for a response, Aiwass said: "It's fear. It's inferiority.
"——It was the phrase 'I don't deserve it'.
"The dwarves and elves defeated the monsters, and the dragons defeated the sea monsters. Snakemen, lizardmen, harpymen... those races that seem weak now all had glorious histories.
"The dwarves had already developed railways three thousand years ago, and the harpies had fought against the gods eight thousand years ago. Even in the depths of the sea, there are still cities of ancient civilizations buried.
"——Is it because we are too weak?! But now humans are the masters of the world!
"——Is it because we are not united enough? But the civilization of the past couldn't even form a country!"
Aiwass's words made people think.
……yes.
Humans are not weak. Although the Theocracy is still powerful, humans have truly ruled the world and become the rulers of most regions. Even the giant dragons of ancient times can be captured and hunted...
But back then, even those races were able to fight against the gods, why...?
"It's because we are too young! Because we missed the risks and also missed the opportunities!"
Aiwass's voice was clear and penetrating: "When we came to the world, the sand clock had already been cut off from the earth and the sky - no gods set foot on the earth anymore, and even the apostles no longer came.
“Now is the time for change!
“——This is not a disaster, but a test for us!
“This is a challenge, a clarion call, a drumbeat, and the announcement we are missing!
"Defeat the gods with a mortal body!
"Listen, everyone - this is such a glorious sign of victory! It's a possibility we've never faced before! It's the hope for the future!"
When Aiwass said this, his voice became a little lower.
He asked, "Do you have any questions - why did the gods never come to the world before?"
This is also the question that people are wondering about.
Although people were moved when they heard it... that was all.
On the contrary, they are more afraid of the Fallen Angels... because Aiwass's speech emphasized that the Fallen Angels are gods, not demons that can be defeated by them.
——But why would the gods come to the human world for no reason? Aren't gods unable to interfere with the material world?
Why can the Fallen Angels occupy mortal countries?
And, most importantly...
——Why didn’t the god we worship come?
And Aiwass finally answered their doubts
"This is not the first time the Fallen Angel has descended into the world."
Aiwass looked around and said something shocking: "Have you ever thought about why the former Heracles Empire suddenly collapsed? Why did the blood of Hercules suddenly disappear?
"——Yes, it's just as you think! The Herasil Empire summoned the Fallen Angels to the underworld——just like the situation Xingtan is facing!
"This is not a disaster, but a challenge! Xingbi, like Herasil, summoned the Fallen Angel when he was in dire straits...
“Because this is a ritual, a trial—the key to a new era!
"——As long as we defeat the Fallen Angels, we will rise higher!"
Aiwass finally revealed the biggest secret: "Distribute the power held by the gods to everyone and make us stronger!
"The sixth level will no longer be the exclusive privilege of the Pope, and the fifth level will no longer be the privilege of the strong - you can also easily become the fifth level, just like you became the third level! You can do it, and you can do it too!
“You can also become the sixth energy level, or even the seventh energy level, or even higher! We can be gods in the mortal world, just like the gods of the past! In the material world, we can defeat the apostles and the celestial beings—and touch the wall of the pillar gods!
"We will cross that wall - the wall of balance! We will not break it, but we will lift up the sky and make it rise higher!"
Hearing this, people opened their eyes wide.
It turns out...the limits of the fifth and sixth energy levels are not unshakable truths?
So... can it really be broken through?
Can you easily reach the fifth energy level, the sixth energy level... ?
If it were someone else, people would never believe it.
—But that’s the Pope!
That is the spokesperson of the Ennead Gods, and he also has the horns of a candle!
Is this the will of the Pillar God?
Aiwass leaned against the hourglass and scale burning with water and fire, and declared loudly: "This is not an act of rebellion, nor is it an act of usurpation!
"I declare in my name, the son of the candlestick, the eternal pope, that this is the trial of balance of the sand clock! Even the pillar gods want us to defeat the Fallen Angels!
"Listen carefully, we will defeat the celestial being who descended to the world and open up the limits of the path!
"Listen carefully, the time has come to change everything! The trial that has not been broken through in the past eight thousand years - or even in the ancient times, will be completed by us here!
"Yes, we have the ability and the will to do so! We will move forward with our heads held high, heading for a new realm that no other race has ever reached!
"We will surpass the Herasil Empire - it will be easy! Because we are not Herasil facing despair, nor are we Xingbi, who is in chaos and despair. We are not desperate, but full of hope! We are united, lucky and powerful!
"The Fallen Angels are afraid, so we quarrel! That's why we clash - it's because the Fallen Angels are afraid of our power that they interfere with us and try to separate us!"
Aiwass declared loudly: "Listen, everyone! He is afraid! Because at this point, he is the weak one! Just like we fear the gods!
"This is not a rescue, although we will save the lives and souls of the Star Antimony people - but this is a hard-won trial! It is an opportunity, a possibility that has not appeared once in eight thousand years!
"It's because the Star Antimony people started the trial, and it's because they lost - and we will win! Because I am with you!"
In everyone’s vision, Aiwass is calling out powerfully: “We will all become history!
"From now on, the rivers of the world will flow in different directions, and people in the future will remember our victory!
"We will become a glorious history! We will become heroes that people will be proud of!
“We are history!
“We are the future!
"——You are history! You are the future!"
