Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Invincible.

Such unwarranted confidence sounds ridiculous.

For magicians, even in the most powerful spells, as long as they trace back to its source and nature, they can always find the corresponding weaknesses.

Before the Golden Dawn simplified magic, magicians who rose to fame often had the ability to dynamically modify spells to avoid being targeted at their weaknesses.

At least on the surface, even the demon god who has exhausted all the magic seems to have weaknesses in the material world.

Therefore, the person who can say this is either a frog in a well or a being who truly possesses power beyond human understanding.

In Matthew's understanding, the fire on the right can only belong to the latter.

As the true ruler of the Roman Orthodox Church, the position on the right in the organization of God's Right Seat has been vacant for the longest time.

This is not only because it represents the identity of the leader of God's Right Seat, but also because the position on the right contains special significance.

The Son of God used his right hand when healing the sick and when recording the Bible he used his right hand.

Despite these miracles as precedents, even in the nearly two thousand years of Christian history since the origin of Christianity, there are only a few explanations for the imagery of this location in the star-like scriptures.

The position that carries the power of the only God, the archangel who is revered as godlike, and the Son of God who endured the suffering of the cross.

From the status of these beings, we can get a glimpse of how terrifying the qualifications and strength are needed to ascend to it.

But since the Right Flame joined the Roman Orthodox Church, he has directly occupied this unshakable position.

Even Matthew, who would argue with other Right Seats of God and even directly veto their plans, would feel a little fear when facing him.

But because of his duty, Matthew frowned and still spoke.

"After Academy City blew off a portion of the moon, war became an inevitable trend. This is a trend that covers the entire magic world and even the world."

"The Roman Orthodox Church certainly has the responsibility to take the lead, but in the case of an unknown enemy force, even if we don't force the magic side to unite, we must at least reach a consensus on an alliance with the English Puritans and the Russian Orthodox Church."

"Especially that old fox from the Puritan Church. Although he lost the Index of Forbidden Books and a saint, judging from his subsequent indifferent reaction and the preferential treatment he showed to Blue Dream Company, this was more like a deal. That guy is probably still secretly colluding with Academy City."

Despite being questioned about the necessity of the action, the Fire on the Right was not as angry as the Wind in Front.

But those who knew him knew that this was not out of tolerance, but because Matthew’s thoughts and attitudes did not matter to him at all.

Even if the other party is the Pope in the secular world, he is just an ordinary person.

"I have already discussed this with the British and Russian guys. If someone is willing to take the initiative to probe for intelligence and act as a target, I will do it."

“Even though it’s not as close as it gets to full collaboration, there’s still room to provide all the support that’s beyond helping, and that’s enough.”

"As for that Puritan guy, well, she must be happy to see this development happen."

The Fire on the Right sneered.

Matthew nodded, reluctantly agreeing with the statement.

At a time when the whole of Europe has been controlled by the Roman Orthodox Church, Britain would be of the greatest help if it did not add fuel to the fire.

However, he still had a question in his mind.

"If that's the case, why are you still waiting instead of taking action yourself?"

Matthew showed a puzzled look. "You should know that the power of the Fish for Dinner and the Apostle's Cross is definitely not inferior to that of the Wind Ahead. If this trump card fails, the results of the Right Seat of God will not be much different if you do not participate in the battle."

Although the advance troops' exploration was initially approved due to the order of the Right Fire, the outbreak of war was confirmed after the Vatican was blown up.

This has nothing to do with Matthew’s own thoughts, but rather the demands of the Roman Orthodox Church as a whole.

No force will remain silent after the destruction of the holy land. Otherwise, even without the enemy taking action, those suspicious allies nearby will show their fangs first.

At this point, the correct approach is to use all our strength to completely destroy Academy City, using the method of a lion fighting a rabbit.

There is no right or wrong in war, only strong and weak.

Matthew could not have become Pope just by being pious and kind.

It is really puzzling that the Fire of the Right arranges enemies from weak to strong for the protagonist like the villains in a fantasy novel, and sends them away one by one like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather.

"Because the time is not right yet, and my strength has not yet reached its limit."

Youfang Zhihuo did not keep the audience in suspense and said with his hands spread out.

"Not enough power... for you?"

Matthew was stunned.

He had never witnessed Right Fire's full power attack, and had only a vague understanding of the nature of his abilities.

But what is certain is that the other party's power is far stronger than anyone he has ever seen.

He had just experienced this firsthand.

Houfangzhishui believes that Matthew saved the Vatican by taking all the damage on himself.

But the idea came about only because he wasn't there at the time.

The horror of the cross light that fell from the sky was far beyond imagination. The Vatican's barrier, which was powerful enough to keep nuclear bombs out, was shattered when it touched that light.

The injuries on Matthew's body were the backlash from that time.

If the Fire on the Right had not blocked the attack, he would have been reduced to ashes along with the city.

But a monster like this actually said that his strength was not enough?

"Your reaction is unacceptable. It is totally unbecoming of your position as Pope."

Perhaps it was because the usually serious Matthew's stunned expression was too funny, and Youfang Zhihuo almost laughed out loud.

"Although I hold a crystal that can perform miracles in my right hand, the power I can exert under normal circumstances is negligible."

"It's a rare opportunity to have an opponent who can make me ignore my limitations. Naturally, I must seize this opportunity and fully display the overwhelming power of the Divine Right."

"The same is true for that guy, so I will hold back my temper and wait until the panic of war spreads throughout the world and the Roman Catholic Church becomes his nutrient."

"Nutrients... could it be that?"

Matthew's expression changed and he looked incredulous.

"You deliberately sacrificed the Orthodox Church and your companions to nurture a tiger to achieve your own goals. Are you really a Christian?"

"Hey, hey, that's a serious accusation. It's just a sacrifice of this level."

The Fire of the Right shrugged nonchalantly, "In front, behind, on the left, whatever, we can just find more people to fill in. We will be the winner in the end anyway."

Matthew clenched his fists unconsciously. Although he did not support the idea of ​​Right Fire at all, thinking that the situation had become a foregone conclusion, he slowly loosened his hands and smiled bitterly.

"You are so arrogant and presumptuous. What if you lose?"

"lose?"

The fire on the right showed a mocking expression and let out a wild and wanton laugh.

"Hahahaha! As the Pope, do you actually think that justice will lose to evil?"

"justice?"

"That's right, no matter how cruel the means are." His eyes flashed with a strange color, looking into the distance, "This is the only thing I can guarantee, all my actions will only mean
—The coming of the absolute good. "

----

"Um... can you let me go?" Aoki Yui said as she exerted a little force, trying to pull her hand out of Roland's hand.

As a guide in a building without doors or windows, she had never encountered such an embarrassing scene.

After all, the next person to be met is the chairman of Academy City. No matter what the guest's background and identity are, no matter how nervous he is in his heart, he will appear serious on the surface.

Someone like Roland, who was as relaxed as if he was in a club and who put his hand on someone without any hesitation, was rare, if not one in a million.

But she had no right to refuse at all. As someone who often represented Aleister's will and cooperated with Blue Dream Company to assist in the aftermath, Aoki Yuuki knew very well how terrifying this frivolous boy in front of her was.

"Isn't this more convenient? I'll have to hold it when we move through space later anyway."

Roland answered casually.

"...Unlike other space ability users, if it is my coordinates that are being moved, they can be transferred without touching."

As a user of space ability, she is probably not as good as Shirai Kuroko in actual combat, but in terms of the value of her ability, Aoki Yuzuki is the leader of the space department in Academy City.

If it weren't for the psychological trauma of not calculating the coordinates correctly in the past, which resulted in her being stuck in the wall, she might even have the possibility of becoming a person with super powers.

"Oh?"

This answer made Roland look up and take a look at the girl in front of him.

Her red hair was tied into two bunches at the back of her head, and her school uniform was hung on her shoulders like a cloak. Most of her upper body was exposed, except for a pink bra covering her chest.

Although the skirt on the lower body was properly put on, it was very short, definitely a length that would tempt people to commit crimes.

She has the style of a bad girl, but is also full of sexiness. She is an excellent beautiful girl.

Then, he held the girl's fair and soft little hand, increased the frequency of kneading, carefully felt the smooth skin, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It feels like it would be a shame to let it go like this, so no."

Roland quickly came to a conclusion and said politely.

"Tsk..."

Seeing this scene, Aoki Yui's expression didn't change at all, she just sighed helplessly.

Although she was a little surprised by Roland's rude behavior, she did not feel disgusted or unhappy.

Just a little troubled.

Even if it looks like they are both compatible, there is nothing romantic about an encounter under these circumstances.

Moreover, I have never been held in the palm of a man's hand like this before, so I can't help but feel a little worried.

If I sweat because I’m too nervous, it won’t make this guy angry, right?
Just as Atsushi Yui was lost in thought, Roland next to her suddenly let go of his hand.

"Eh?"

The girl was startled at first, but when she found that Roland did not show any unusual expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But obviously, this kind of reaction showed that her understanding of Roland was still based on hearsay, and she did not really understand how low this man's bottom line was.

If it were just that it would be fine, but with a character that follows his desires and a strong drive to act, he is a complete disaster.

Just like now.

"Mr. Yuito, it seems like your ability is very suitable for games like niche x, right?"

Roland said these terrible words in all seriousness.

"Eh?"

This scared Aoki Yui, who was forcing herself to act calm, and she was a little overwhelmed.

What kind of person can say such a thing in such a serious tone!
This isn't a universal question like what you ate today. This method of using it to build closer relationships is too weird... No, if you assume that the other person knows your inner shadow, this isn't weird anymore, this is just pure scumbag!

Although she wanted to roar like that, Aoki Yui still smiled bitterly from the bottom of her heart.

"…What a funny joke."

"I'm not kidding. After all, I was supposed to go home happily and have some fun with the pretty girls, but I was suddenly called to meet a pervert hanging upside down in a jar. It's reasonable to say that I should be compensated, right?"

"But you are the only woman who meets my requirements in this matter."

Roland blinked and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"So, do you want to give it a try?"

Yuiichi Yumi took a step back speechlessly, looking at Roland who was gradually approaching, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

……

In the end, Roland's open-air play was not successful.

Because the stimulation was too strong, driven by fear, Atsuki Yuuki seemed to have unleashed her potential, and used several consecutive extreme distance space transfers to send Roland to a building without doors and windows.

Then, the blushing girl teleported away in a hurry.

Because she resisted too violently, she accidentally bit her tongue in her haste to separate, and she might have slurred speech in the next few days.

But considering that he unexpectedly overcame the psychological trauma, it should still be something to be celebrated, right?

Roland thought to himself, holding his chin, wiped the corner of his mouth, and turned his head.

"So, what happened? After I destroyed several batches of them, they kept mobilizing the hovering loops one after another. Don't you know that this really disturbs my interest in doing my work?"

Looking at Roland who had taken over the mantle, Aleister's eyes twitched slightly.

Although his face remained indifferent, the series of bubbles that suddenly rose in the jar showed that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Being criticized by someone who just sits there and does less work than Shokuhou Misaki most of the time, Aleister, who works diligently, borrows money from everywhere, and fights against fate itself, feels a little helpless.

The key is that he can't refute it.

For the Beast of Apocalypse, destroying the world is almost an instinct, so it is right to suppress desires through the seven deadly sins.

Gluttony, lust, squandering wealth, and having fun are indeed what Roland should do.

...Although he felt that the other party had long since freed himself from the shackles of these desires and was simply enjoying it.

"It's just that the impact of yesterday's events has officially hit."

Aleister explained in a cold voice, "After yesterday's incident, the protests against Academy City in Europe have turned into riots. In addition, similar protests have also occurred in Russia and the United Kingdom."

"Even though the fish for dinner had already been used once, they were still trying to manipulate public opinion on a large scale. It seems that the Roman Orthodox Church has already started a war abroad to build momentum."

Roland raised his eyebrows and quickly figured out the key.

"So, is all-out war about to begin?"

"——To be precise, it has already begun."

When Aleister's voice fell, a light screen appeared in front of Roland.

That is the ocean outside the port area of ​​Academy City.

But although it was clearly summer, hazy shadows appeared on the sea. The condensed air turned into tiny water droplets, creating this pale fog.

In front of the white fog, an ice-blue fleet like a ghost ship has emerged, revealing its gun barrels flashing with cold light. (End of this chapter)
