Chapter 466: Two Matters (4200 words added)

Mitra Palace.

After the death of the "Son of Dawn," Arthur IX did not move into the main hall to reside.

On the contrary, he continued to work in the side hall, only ordering people to completely demolish the "Son of Dawn's" residence, not leaving behind a single brick or stone.

At this moment, inside the main office hall.

The Prime Minister of the Empire and the King's Secretary were enduring the Emperor's fury.

"South Innis has electrified and declared independence..."

"We will lose our source of raw materials and our market for dumping goods; how many companies will go bankrupt because of this?"

The round table was silent for a moment, then erupted as if a volcano had exploded:

"The sun shall never be extinguished!"

"An attack?"

"Hmm?"

Aaron bowed elegantly, his figure bursting like a soap bubble.

Sharp, peerless, fine red threads fell directly from the scarlet canopy, piercing through one white-robed Archbishop after another.

And how to take over the vast assets of the Sun Church next is a matter that requires careful preparation!

Because he knew that this was a person chosen by many Ages, who had killed the "Son of Dawn" in a head-on confrontation!

It was also the existence that had stepped on the bones of God's Child to ascend to the invincible throne of the Mortal World!

Arthur IX wore his crown, whispering to himself on the throne.

It was only natural that pursuers would come now.

"I can deal with him for you; after all, I am also a bit interested in the 'Unknown-grade' Strange Object in his hands."

"'Dawn' is with us; He is within the Spirituality of every one of our believers!"

It was evident that although he was tired, he quite enjoyed this feeling of holding absolute power without any constraints.

The next moment, he saw countless red threads shooting forth!

"Guards!"

A squad of guards rushed in, and the leader was even an "Alchemist"!

But even he had not the slightest awareness of what had happened before.

Only then did Arthur IX's expression turn gloomy, and he shouted.

Jupiter III said in a deep voice: "It could be a pursuit by the Gourmet Association, or it could be people from the Empire!"

"Burn him to death!"

"I have already decided..."

"Feathered Serpent?!"

Clap! Clap!

Holding the Scepter representing the Pope's power, he coughed lightly: "'Dawn' will eventually return... before that, we must shepherd the lambs of the Mortal World well for Him, but the despicable and shameless Emperor has already decided to reclaim church assets and introduce other Evil God faiths!"

After a heated argument, His Majesty Arthur IX let the Prime Minister and the others withdraw.

"The Inquisition has long had black material on him; we were too lenient before..."

Jupiter III was about to say something when he suddenly frowned tightly and gripped the Scepter in his hand.

At this moment, their eyes were all scarlet, filled with confusion and the anger of being betrayed.

In a certain secret stronghold of the Sun Church.

"It is the ability of the 'Scarlet' Sixth Primordial Substance—the 'Red Earl', who has designated the area we are in as his territory!"

"Please speak!" When facing the strongest person in the Mortal World, Arthur IX's attitude was very humble.

The surrounding buildings were melting in the white light, revealing the scarlet canopy outside.

"You seem to be troubled by the Pope of the Sun Church?" Aaron looked at Arthur IX leisurely and spoke.

"Suppression? The Empire has just experienced turmoil and cannot start a new round of war! Especially a transoceanic expedition! At least not now!"

Pfft! Pfft!

"Judge that pig!"

Long ago, when he discovered that the Emperor was not right, because he was in a weak position, the Pope had fled Plymouth.

"Your Majesty!"

Just at this moment, a sound of clapping rang out.

Arthur IX silently gripped the "Mitra Palace Bell," but this could not bring him much sense of security.

Arthur IX replied with a sigh, feeling a certain hope in his heart.

Aaron, with a thin sword hanging at his waist, entered the palace like an ordinary nobleman.

"The second matter is even simpler..." A trace of an inexplicable smile hung on the corner of Aaron's mouth as he raised his second finger: "It will not cost you any benefits; you only need to issue a decree..."

"Yes, I want to introduce more Imperial Gods to protect this country... but Jupiter... he has already become somewhat insane."

"We are surrounded?"

"Then, the Contract is reached, and I shall take my leave."

Arthur IX listened to Aaron's account seriously and nodded: "I agree; this indeed does not harm me, and it is even exactly what I want to do!"

Bang! Bang!

"How many slaves in households will see hope and start a new round of resistance movements within the Empire's homeland?"

They were all the final core of the Sun Church!

Arthur IX took a deep breath, evidently knowing he could not be too harsh on these guards; he pondered for a long time before speaking: "Have my Prime Minister, Secretary, Chief of Finance, and the Garrison Commander come here... I have a major matter to announce."

Pope Jupiter III was watching a group of high-ranking Bishops who were debating fiercely, or rather, comforting one another.

"And one more thing, the final thing... resolve Jupiter III... the Church's assets are truly too abundant, enough to replenish the national treasury! It can even serve as funding for reforms and the formation of an expeditionary army..."

With that one's guarantee, Jupiter III would in all likelihood die.

A white-robed Archbishop bowed and saluted, his expression full of fanaticism: "The Mortal World... has become filthy again; only the radiance of our Lord can perform Purification on everything!"

The expression on Jupiter III's face was full of gravity.

"Very well! Current social contradictions have already intensified significantly; I need to appease the populace." Arthur IX nodded without much hesitation.

Aaron spoke quite directly: "And in return... I have two requests, or rather, two matters!"

The Suppression Bureau? The Extermination Bureau? Or some secret force hidden by the Emperor?

"As you command, Crown!"

One by one, the Archbishops quickly mobilized their own Spirituality, and soon confirmed the situation: "It is also impossible to communicate with the Spirit World; this is some kind of high-rank sealing Ritual or ability..."

"Our Lord has only temporarily departed... for such an existence... death is not the end either... We all know that the 'Imprinter' of the Ninth Sephira has the possibility of branding their will onto a Low-rank Extraordinary, and thereby resurrecting!"

Hundreds of years of brainwashing and faith are enough to create a batch of fanatical believers.

It is just unknown who it will be.

Jupiter III paused his Scepter: "Let our people riot in the major cities... Our Lord's departure requires a grand memorial, and His return also requires a massive amount of Offering!"

Aaron raised one finger.

"The first matter: establish a sound minimum social security and welfare relief system! I believe the Sun Church's accumulation over hundreds of years is enough to implement the bill."

The Scepter lightly touched the ground, and a layer of dazzling radiance erupted violently.

"Light!"

Jupiter III spat out a word in Spirit World Language, and the dazzling radiance dispersed the Scarlet and the gloom, causing a human figure to emerge...
