Versatile Mage: Evolving from the One-eyed Wolf

However, she is not without any chance. The election mechanism of the Parthenon is not simply an internal decision. As an international organization, the leader of white magic, the election mechanism is complex and comprehensive, just to eliminate the suspicion of dictatorship.

Therefore, the mechanism of the goddess election is divided into several steps. The first step is the five branch temples of the Parthenon from all over the world. Each branch temple can decide to support the saint they like, which can be understood as one vote each.

The second step is those countries, clans, and magic organizations that have close ties with the temple. Among them are naturally the most internationally influential Holy Court, the Five Continents Magic Association, the Hunter Alliance, etc.

The third step is the turn of the temple's internal decision, the Goddess Hall, the Knight Hall, the Judgment Hall, and the Faith Hall. The four halls each decide their own choice.

After such a set of procedures, a candidate can only sit firmly on the throne of the goddess if he wins two of the three steps and wins by an overwhelming advantage.

Otherwise, it is necessary to open the final link and directly adopt the most ancient way, leaving it to all believers to decide. The people's will is the will of God!

If it is just an internal election, Asharuya will not have any chance, but if it can be dragged to the final stage, then the result is hard to say. Although Ye Xinxia's achievements in recent years are also dazzling, there is still a big gap compared to the grand occasion two years later in the original book.

In the past year, the two saints have devoted themselves to improving their cultivation and have basically no time to take care of winning the hearts of the people. They can't spare time to deal with major events. In this way, Asharuya has a big advantage. She grew up in Athens since she was a child, and she is also the adopted daughter of the saint Wentai. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the little princess of Greece. She has a deep foundation of local connections, and the people are born with a sense of intimacy with her.

On the other hand, Ye Xinxia grew up in Dragon Country since she was a child. Apart from the choice of soul, it is really hard to find any other advantages. Most people are narrow-minded, and the xenophobic thoughts in their bones are at work, like the factory settings preset by the rulers, stubborn and difficult to eliminate. They will only selectively ignore Ye Xinxia's soul advantage and focus on her identity as a Dragon Countryman.

However, if Asharuya wants to drag the game into the final stage, she cannot do without the key helper - the support of the Holy City. As the most authoritative existence in the world, once the Holy City expresses its support for her, many of its affiliated forces will follow closely and respond one after another.

Even the magic associations of the five continents are no exception. In this way, she can win in the second step, and even in the first step, the five temples around the world will be shaken.

In this way, she has the capital to enter the final game with Ye Xinxia. Speaking of the attitude of the Holy City, Asharuya is full of confidence and is 99% sure that she can win the support!

Yes, it will definitely!

In her opinion, the Holy City has no choice. No matter how it weighs the pros and cons, it will never lean towards Ye Xinxia. Although Ye Xinxia has outstanding potential and becoming a goddess is likely to make the Parthenon's strength soar, this is exactly the situation that the Holy City does not want to see.

After all, the stronger the Parthenon is, the more powerful the Dragon Kingdom will be. The already huge and difficult Dragon Kingdom with high autonomy will be more difficult to control in the future. This is obviously not in line with the Holy City's idea of ​​maintaining the pattern and controlling all parties.

Just as Asharuya was imagining the future, something unexpected happened. The maid in front of her, who was waiting for orders with her head down, suddenly stiffened, as if she was fixed by an invisible force, unable to move at all, her eyes wide open, full of fear.

Then, a phantom emitting a ghostly purple light slowly peeled off and rose from the maid's shadow. A strange breath instantly spread, and the temperature in the hall seemed to drop sharply, and the coldness pierced the bone marrow.

Asharuya subconsciously drew out the dark sword, stared at the phantom vigilantly, and shouted: "Who is coming? How dare you trespass into the Saint's Hall!"

The phantom slowly solidified into a human shape, with a slightly illusory figure, but revealing an inexplicable mystery. It did not make any dangerous aggressive moves, but just opened its lips slightly, and the voice seemed to come from the underworld, revealing a hint of coldness: "My master hopes to meet you!"

Asha Ruiya frowned, the long sword was still across her body, she did not dare to relax her vigilance, and snorted coldly: "Who is your master?"

"My god is the real master of the Void Sect, please be kind to me, Your Highness the Saint." The shadow said.

Asha Ruiya's heart was shocked. Recently, the four words "Void Sect" have been spreading in the magic world, and it is simply like thunder. Obviously, during the past two months, several small and weak countries have suffered. The Void Sect, as a dark horse force, has gradually surfaced and stirred up the whole situation.

They are different from the organization like Hei Jue Ting that engages in terrorist attacks, focuses on killing, and creates panic. The Void Sect acts more cruelly and more resolutely, and is a real rebel gang. Those people specifically targeted the most oppressed people in small countries, and released something called void fluid, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a biological weapon.

Once infected, people's racial characteristics will change, and then they will gain extraordinary power. It is conceivable what will happen when the lower class, which has been oppressed for many years, suddenly has powerful power.

The first thing to be affected is the collapse of social order. The lower class people who have been submissive for many years will suddenly hold the power to change their fate, and the resentment and grievances accumulated for many years will erupt like a volcano and vent wantonly.

Robbery and fights occurred frequently in the streets, and the powerful people who once lorded it over became the targets of venting their anger. Their mansions were attacked and their property was looted. Laws and rules became empty words, and the contracts that maintained social stability were shattered.

Even more thorny is the rejection and discrimination caused by the change of race by the void fluid. Mutants have strange appearances and extraordinary abilities. Their original race compatriots regard them as monsters and exclude and expel them.

Other countries are afraid of this unknown race and close their doors. These mutants from the bottom are homeless, full of resentment and hatred, or they form their own faction and provoke war. Or they are used by intentional forces and become puppets of war, making the already chaotic situation worse.

In the end, this country will only be fully transformed into the void camp in civil strife. The International Holy Court and the Magic Association of the Five Continents are also extremely troubled. They do have a way to purify an infected void family and restore them to humans, but this requires an expensive purification ceremony, and only one person can be purified at a time!

Such a low purification efficiency is just a drop in the bucket in the face of thousands of mutants. It is unrealistic to kill them all. These people are just mutated, and they are still human in essence. Their intelligence is not affected, and they even call themselves evolvers.

These evolutionists spontaneously formed a group and protested to the Holy Court and the Magic Association with the powerful power gained from mutation, demanding legal status, equal rights, and an end to the purification operation.

International public opinion was also caught in a dilemma. Some voices condemned the evil deeds of the Void Cult and called for saving the victims. Others supported the evolutionists' demands and felt that forced purification and suppression were inhumane.
