Chapter 530: The Fallen Pope

~12 min read 2,363 words

Ah, this, what happened? I smell the fragrance of a melon.

Dorothy's gaze shifted suspiciously between the limp, collapsed Loli Pope and the guilt-ridden Miss Nun.

Although she didn't know what happened, why the two of them reacted so strongly just because she introduced herself, her intuition told her that there must be a story here.

Her own melon wasn't very satisfying, and now there was someone else's melon to eat, so the Home Witch became interested.

"Mother, what's wrong with her?"

Dorothy asked curiously.

"Sigh."

Seeing her daughter ask, Xia Wa also sighed. She was silent for a while, and after organizing her mood, she explained the matter between her and Noah roughly.

"... Hmm, it's about like that. It was indeed I who let this child down. I wanted to confess several times, but I really didn't dare to take the risk of being exposed."

Looking at Noah, who was lying on the ground with empty eyes, as if she had been played broken, the nun felt very guilty.

She suddenly felt that her life was really a failure. For the sake of that mission of saving the world, she first abandoned her biological daughter, and now she had hurt this apprentice who could be considered an adopted daughter.

It's just that she didn't regret it; after all, her life was lived for the mission.

She didn't ask for the forgiveness of these two daughters either; the current situation was her own fault.

It's just...

"Sigh, if there really is a next life, then I don't want to shoulder any mission anymore. I just want to live freely and unrestrainedly."

Xia Wa sighed in her heart, thinking so.

But the world was about to perish, so a next life was destined to be just a luxury.

And on the other side, Dorothy was stunned after hearing her mother's explanation, and then looked at the nun mother and loli Pope opposite in surprise.

Oh my, are they actually two comrades?

Before, looking at the robot maid's sneaky way of proselytizing, coupled with the special geographical location of this underground cathedral, Dorothy thought her nun mother was organizing some evil cult, but she never expected that the evil cult was actually herself.

"That, so to speak, are you all studying 'Genesis'?"

Dorothy's mood was very complicated at this moment.

You know, although the holy relic of the Mechanical Sect was "Genesis," in fact, the Mechanical Maiden's scripture wasn't called "Genesis." The Home Witch changed the name slightly to "Machinery and Dawn."

Of course, the content was actually the same set, not much difference, just slightly modified to be more in line with the background of the times, more localized, and this "Machinery and Dawn" could be considered a second creation of "Genesis" that followed the customs.

After all, if she didn't modify and cover it up, Dorothy's many speeches in the original "Genesis" that despised gods would easily scare these mortals, making it inconvenient to proselytize.

But heaven knows they were studying the second creation of the orthodox Mechanical Sect, while the Pope of the Glory Sect opposite was organizing people to study the original "Genesis" in private.

But, wait a minute, where did they hear "Genesis" from?

Dorothy furrowed her brow and looked up at the sky.

Although there was only a ceiling above her head, the Home Witch's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the ceiling directly and see the big cathedral on the highest floor.

"Sophie Liya, is it you?"

If there was anyone else in this Glory Divine Kingdom who knew the content of "Genesis," it was naturally Sophie Liya—the main body of Lucyfiel, who had witnessed the birth of "Genesis" back then.

But this really made the Home Witch puzzled. She really couldn't understand what was going on with her roommate; what was she doing promoting "Genesis" when she had nothing to do?

Dorothy remembered very clearly that Lucyfiel's evaluation of the content of "Genesis" was "beautiful but naive, completely unrealistic, and a fantasy without any possibility of realization."

Dorothy generally agreed with these evaluations. She herself felt that it was unrealistic to do this in the Witch World, and there was almost no possibility of success.

But she really didn't expect that the cold-faced, sharp-tongued Pure White Angel would silently start proselytizing here. What was she doing? Did she want to start a revolution?

But this angel leader herself was one of the biggest stumbling blocks on the road to revolution. What's up? Does Your Majesty want to rebel and revolutionize her own life?

There must be a motive for everything, but Dorothy really didn't understand what Sophie Liya's motive was.

This couldn't be just because she was bored and doing a little experiment for fun, right?

If it were Dorothy herself, she felt she might really be that bored and just play around, but the Pure White Witch's rigorous personality didn't look like someone who would be so playful.

Could it be that she was deliberately letting water go for her?

No, that's impossible either. We agreed that we would both go all out this time. Sophie Liya's competitive spirit is so strong; it's impossible for her to let water go for her.

Dorothy had to admit that she didn't quite understand her roommate's move, and this made her extremely vigilant.

She now suspected that Sophie Liya was also hiding in this room, watching her joke.

"Rest assured, there is really no one in this room."

Dinisha beside her looked at her sister's startled appearance and took the initiative to comfort her.

Hearing her good sister's assertion, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the nun mother and loli Pope opposite with increasingly bizarre eyes, wanting to hear the two's views.

Fortunately, the soulless Noah was probably stimulated by the three words "Genesis," and the light finally returned to her eyes.

Yes, she hadn't lost everything yet; there was still "Genesis," and she still had a mission to complete. Now was not the time to despair. Her followers and vast believers behind her still needed the guidance of her, the leader.

Thinking of these, the light in Noah's eyes became stronger and stronger. Although her spirit still looked a bit withered, she finally calmed down relying on responsibility, mission, and faith.

And such a performance made Dorothy look at this loli Pope seriously for the first time, and she nodded slightly.

As a person who loves her family, Dorothy could understand how big the blow Noah had just suffered was. This kind of betrayal from a loved one was often the most hurtful, and this loli Pope could actually calm down from that pain so quickly; this willpower was indeed tough.

"You also know 'Genesis'?"

Noah kept a straight face, deliberately not looking at Teacher Xia Wa, but her gaze suddenly became sharp as she looked at the Home Witch and asked back.

"Genesis" was something Teacher Sophie Liya taught her. Why did this Prime Minister of the Magic Republic also know this?

Emmm...

Being able to climb from an illegitimate daughter to the position of Pope and fight with those power factions full of filth for so many years, Noah was naturally not a fool. She vaguely seemed to realize something.

But this speculation made her pupils shake violently again, and she couldn't believe it.

It couldn't be such a coincidence, right? One person hurting me twice?

It's a pity, unfortunately, the operation of the world couldn't follow a mortal's hope. Moreover, Dorothy never lied.

So...

"Hmm, I naturally know. The original of 'Genesis' is here with me."

Dorothy nodded, and then reached out, and a simple engineering hammer engraved with dense golden characters appeared in her hand.

"This is 'Genesis'."

She shook the hammer in her hand and said so.

Noah: "..."

Xia Wa: "..."

Not only was the loli Pope silent now, but even the nun Xia Wa beside her was looking at the engineering hammer in her daughter's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Genesis" was a scripture, right? Shouldn't a scripture be a book? Even if it was a book with corner protectors on all four corners, it was more reliable than a hammer.

The Moon Goddess, who should have been aloof, couldn't hold back now. She really wanted to complain.

And Noah...

Well, the loli Pope, who had finally calmed down, might have had a broken tear gland system in her prosthetic body; she was really crying. Otherwise, with the paladin's willpower still there, she might have turned around and run away in tears.

This wasn't bullying people like this. You bastard, it turns out you weren't just Teacher Xia Wa's daughter, but also the person Teacher Sophie Liya had been hanging on to in her heart?

At this moment, Noah really felt like a clown. (Laugh to death, the clown is actually opposite you.)

She perhaps shouldn't be in the hold of Noah's Ark, but should go directly to the bottom of the ship; that was where she should stay under the anchor.

Can't do it, so jealous. Damn, it turns out the real owner of the home I enjoyed before was actually this hateful enemy before me?

Really, if the expression system of the prosthetic face wasn't perfect enough, the loli Pope's face would definitely be distorted now.

It's just...

"Since you have studied 'Genesis,' then no matter what, we are comrades. Does your revolution need help? I am very willing to contribute to the liberation cause of our compatriots."

Noah heard the hateful, enviable person opposite say so.

She wanted to snort coldly on the spot and then proudly express her disdain. She didn't want to accept this person's help at all.

However, thoughts were thoughts, but Noah's body was very honest.

"Yes."

Regarding this hateful guy's help, she agreed in one breath.

Although Noah felt even more uncomfortable after saying it.

Sigh, emotionally she didn't want this guy's help, but rationally she couldn't refuse.

After all, emotion was emotion, and work was work. Her sense of responsibility didn't allow her to bring her personal emotions into her work.

Just like what was said in "Genesis," unite all forces that can be united, make the enemy fewer, and make friends more.

As a poor person who had just had her home taken away, Noah could refuse this hateful guy's help, but as the leader of the resistance army, Noah couldn't refuse the cooperation invitation of this real ruler of the Magic Republic.

She needed to be responsible for her followers, for the lives of those comrades.

Although if they relied on themselves, the upcoming revolution would likely succeed, but the comrades would definitely suffer heavy casualties. After all, although the power factions were in a minority in terms of numbers, the foundation they had accumulated over so many years wasn't a joke.

That upcoming revolution war would be a fierce battle, a fierce battle full of blood and fire, a fierce battle that required comrades in a disadvantageous equipment position to use their own blood and lives to pave the way for the victory of the noble and great liberation cause.

But if there was support from the Magic Republic, the comrades' sacrifices would definitely be reduced to a minimum. They could achieve greater victory with smaller casualties.

Therefore, damn it, she really couldn't refuse the olive branch opposite.

"Damn it, this cursed sense of responsibility of mine, wuwuwu, what kind of hellish feeling is this? Even though I'm dying to jump-slash this lucky person who has everything to death, I still have to hold it in and show her a smiling face, sincerely thanking her for her help."

Noah was really crying loudly in her heart. This feeling of being unwilling in her heart but her body being very honest made her feel exceptionally uncomfortable.

The fall of a demon was nothing more than this.

Dorothy: "..."

Looking at this loli Pope who was still crying but had already completely entered the business-style smile that couldn't be picked out of any flaws, looking at herself sincerely, the Home Witch had to admit that this Noah was really a very powerful person.

She regretted it as soon as her words came out. She was ultimately an old social phobia, not very good at speaking.

She could feel that this Noah really hated her, so her help might be a bit insulting, even if she was sincerely wanting to help.

However, this loli Pope, who was also a leader of the resistance army, could actually put aside personal grievances and immediately enter the working state. What kind of spirit was this? It was really awesome.

Anyway, Dorothy admitted that if she didn't use magic to cheat, she might not be able to do this level.

For those in power, acting on emotion was an absolute taboo. In history, there were countless forces that perished because of the leader's stubbornness. The quality of being able to perfectly separate emotion from responsibility was actually the most precious quality of those in power.

And the most critical point was that this Noah really climbed up from the bottom. She was a person who came from the people and was still going to the people now.

Isn't this the leader who can perfectly empathize with the vast majority of people that I have always wanted?

Damn, why is the talent I want in the enemy army? No, I have to find a way to poach her.

At this moment, a pair of bull horns seemed to grow on the Home Witch's head.

"Perhaps we can have a good chat about 'Genesis.' Do you mind having one more teacher?"

Dorothy said with burning eyes.

Noah: "..."

She wanted to say she wasn't willing, but her body wasn't even under her control. Her will had long since become the appearance of "Genesis," and such her couldn't refuse the guidance of the author of "Genesis."

So...

"Very willing."

Noah is falling.

First of all, declare, not blowing or blackening, I am a noble pure love war god, one sword per bull-headed person, laugh.
