Chapter 825: The Path to Perfection

"I destroyed all your backup bodies... I see. So you sent your consciousness to Chiron?"

The Pope slowly stood up, and his luxurious red robe fell off. His dry body became younger and stronger as if time had gone back, and the Pope's appearance also became younger.

"It's so ugly, but it suits your embarrassing struggle very well."

"But you can't stop me. You're too weak."

A strong wind blew, and the dust covering the temple was dispersed. It was the wind raised by the wings of cruel angels.

"Asshole, how dare you sneak attack here!"

The cruel angel roared as he walked towards Theresa. The feathers on the wings behind him responded to his anger, standing up one by one and trembling slightly.

【Cruel Angel LV160】

[One of the ten angels of the Perfect Totem, the embodiment of the source]

"And isolated and helpless." The Pope looked down at Theresa. There was no mockery on his face, only indifference, as if he was watching the dying struggle of an ant.

"Since we have worked together before, let us have a good talk." The Pope said the second half of his words to the cruel angel.

The cruel angel raised her eyebrows and was about to scold, but she retreated under the Pope's gaze. She slowly retreated, as if looking for Theresa's flaw, but until she reached the end of the balcony, she did not feel any opportunity to take action.

Theresa and the Pope were the only ones left in the church.

"Are you... [me]?" Theresa asked.

“Who else can you trust except [me]?”

The Pope nodded, confirming Teresa's speculation.

This was a natural development. What she was going to do could not be understood by others, so even if she made a backup plan, the person who would execute it would only be another herself.

This also explains why the Pope could so easily delete all simulated personalities and destroy all safe houses. Because she did it all by herself, self-destruction and deletion, which she didn't even need to be there in person, but could be done with a remote command.

In order to prevent her will from being shaken, to prevent her plan from failing, and to prevent someone from taking advantage of her safe house, she made all the necessary preparations.

But all those thorough preparations were used on myself.

"What is your plan, destroy the ground and reconstruct the world?"

"No, that's your plan. In order to ensure that there will never be such an extinction disaster in the future, I have prepared a brand new plan, the [New World Plan]."

The Pope's face was expressionless, but under the moonlight coming from behind, he revealed a kind of terrifying darkness.

“Even if the world is reconstructed, thousands or tens of thousands of years later, catastrophes will still happen. Such disasters are the characteristics and nature of the entire world and cannot be changed.”

"So we should leave this world and go to the new world."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The Ark is already damaged. There is only emptiness outside the sky..." Theresa was stunned. Even her transformed body felt a surge of chill.

There are only two stars in the sky, one is the desolate moon, and the other one... is crashing towards the world.

"You want to colonize the body of Perfect Adam!? Are you crazy? That's a living planet. How can you guarantee that Perfect Adam will allow [parasites] to appear on his body!"

"Of course I will become his devout believer." The Pope finally showed a trace of expression on his face, a smile, an extremely fanatical smile. He opened his arms to the sky, and in his eyes there was only the [Destroyer Star] approaching in the distant void.

"Believe in him, love him, pray to him, become a part of him, and exist forever in his body! We, the tiny ones, will become his cells, a part of his body, but we will also miraculously have our own selves."

"We are Adam, and Adam is us!"

"Have you... forgotten our mission?" Theresa lowered her voice.

The most horrific situation was that it wasn't the backup plan she had set that attacked her, but that the backup plan [broke].

The smile on the Pope's face became more and more bizarre, and he talked to himself as if possessed.

"I have surpassed the mission you gave me! I have gained a new mission!"

"I have seen it. Thousands of years have allowed me to see the full picture of suffering. Only faith can save people's souls from suffering. Heaven, heaven is coming!"

This is why Theresa has to keep cutting her own memory, not only to ensure that she is still her original self, but also to prevent herself from becoming a lunatic.

Only great bodies and souls can withstand the corrosion of long life. Just look at the elves, their ideology has become unrecognizable.

Humans only have a short lifespan of a hundred years because their consciousness can only remain normal for a hundred years.

But the Pope has lived too long. He has changed his body time and time again but he has not cut his memory like Theresa did. He has been living by changing bodies, which has long exceeded the limit of human survival.

The unknown success of the plan tormented his consciousness. He personally felt the suffering that his plan brought to the world, as well as his own insignificance. In the end, he found something even more illusory.

That is to pray to God and let the almighty God save you.

Solve all problems using deus ex machina.

The elves believe in the Tree of Life and the Golden Sea of ​​Trees, while the Pope believes in the [Destroyer Planet] in the sky and in perfect people with eternal life.

"I was guided by the stars in the sky, and his apostles pointed me in the direction. I built the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The perfect man Adam once fell because of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (the only God). Now he will return to his perfect body through the path I built!"

The Pope's words were full of excitement, and the "Apostle" he mentioned made Theresa anxious. She didn't expect that it was the pawn of the perfect Adam who corrupted her backup plan.

"Where is the apostle!" Theresa became anxious.

"Can't you see?" The Pope restrained his emotions, opened his arms to the sky with a compassionate expression, and his face was as pious as a believer in the holy city.

“[Eve] is right in front of you.”

The ten angels formed a huge tree in the sky, which is the Kabbalah Tree of Life mentioned by the Pope. It is also the path that can enable the fallen Adam to become a perfect man again.

The tree absorbed the faith and grew stronger.

"Eve, you made me into these ten angels..." Teresa's body trembled subconsciously. The Pope's madness was more terrifying than she had imagined.

The Pope was extremely calm, even indifferent.

"The perfect man Adam fell because of Eve, so isn't it natural for Eve to pave the way back to perfection?"
