The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 555 - 307: Reversed Pope_2
Luojia observed the escape route beside her, thinking that if a fight broke out later, she would first toss Luo Xiaohei onto Merlin... Yes, that was the plan. And then she would take An Su's hand and run outside. Yes, the plan was perfect...
Luo Xiaohei felt a chill on his back.
"The Milton Royal Family has been infiltrating the Church for years," An Su said calmly, "and in recent days, they have completely crossed the line. The Radiant Holy See has to strike back, which is why they chose me tonight... and Luojia, too, right?"
"Even though we might very likely be killed by Prince Tai Rui tonight."
The strategy of the Milton Family was now crystal clear.
As the Crown Title to the throne, the Eldest Prince of the 'Golden Kingdom,' Terry Milton, was to inherit the Imperial crown. Meanwhile, the Third Princess of the 'Golden Kite Princess,' Cersei Milton, was to enter the Radiant Church as the 'Imperial Saintess,' suppress the other Saintess factions, gain a foothold in the Church, and install more of the Imperial Power Faction, ultimately becoming the Radiant Holy Saintess of the entire Church.
Should this plan succeed, tonight's grand Radiant ceremony would be the opportunity, and in the next decade, the Milton Royal Family would control and even rule... both the secular and religious powers.
Therefore, the Radiant Holy See made use of An Su and Luojia.
"You guessed right," sighed Merlin, rubbing his temples. "Since you've figured out the Church's arrangement, why do something beyond the plan?"
"After the success, you will become the Saint Heir of the Church without risk, and the benefit will far outweigh the cost."
Those pure white Magic Eyes looked at An Su as if trying to see through his heart. Merlin said calmly,
"From what I've observed, you don't care about your life at all. As long as you can win in the end, you would even use your life as a stepping stone to climb—this is your nature. You should enjoy the game the Church has arranged for you, so why lose control?"
"You're half right," An Su nodded. He looked at Merlin, his lips curling into a calm smile, "From the beginning to the end, I'm a player who loves games, ready to use any means to win, that's correct. But I haven't lost control—I've just made the game more interesting."
"What do you mean?" Merlin raised an eyebrow.
"I don't like sharing this fun game with others. I'm a selfish loner."
An Su watched Merlin calmly, "So I killed Tai Rui. Now the game is just my game, simply that. If you like me, then I'm all alone to play with you to the end."
"...Ha." Merlin suddenly smiled, that relentless gaze that had been bestowed upon An Su disappeared with the smile, becoming all the more refreshed, "So you are complaining about the Church using those around you... I see."
"Let's get one thing straight," Merlin raised a hand, "This young lady is volunteering."
From the very beginning, the spiritual pressure of Prince Tai Rui was focused on Luoja Fast.
According to the Church's plan, even if Luojia lasted until the end of the ceremony, all the Royal Family's retaliation would fall upon her.
So An Su killed Tai Rui and pulled all the attention back to himself.
"You're completely wrong," An Su said with a smile. Even though Merlin no longer used his Pure White Eyes to look at An Su, An Su voluntarily gazed into those origin Magic Eyes, unmindful of the soul's cries and the discomfort of the Magic Circuit, his dark blue eyes staring directly into the Magic Eyes.
"I just wanted to make the game more enjoyable."
"And by killing Prince Tai Rui, using the Golden Kite Dynasty as a sacrifice for the ceremony, my reward will be higher—in fact, I did get a Crown Title beyond my imagination. It's just for my own benefit."
"I can see lies with my eyes," Merlin said with a laugh.
"Who would believe that," An Su also laughed, "everyone knows I was born."
"You really are still dissatisfied."
"Luoja Fast is not your tool. She wasn't a tool of the Monastery in the past, she isn't a tool of the Farlor Royal Family now, and she won't be a tool of your Church in the future," An Su's smile was serene, "nor was she ever my tool, whether in the past, present, or future."
Listening to the words of the young man beside her, the Little Saintess gently pursed her lips, her snow-white eyelashes fluttering lightly. The magic shield hid her downcast eyes, so it wasn't clear what her expression was at that moment, but An Su had said that the sky was the color of her face, previously the color of rosy twilight suffusing the ranges, and now it was bright with glittering waves spreading across the snow-white sea of clouds, that probably was her face.
"So what is she?" Merlin asked.
"It's a power bank," An Su replied without hesitation.
The weather turned from clear to cloudy.
"Isn't that still a tool!"

Merlin was furious.
"What grand commotion have you caused, and how do you plan to end this?"
Merlin stared at An Su, "Tonight, everyone is waiting for you outside the Magic Association, waiting for you to come out. If Heaven couldn't be stepped in, Farol's Holy Level Saint Army would have already come to kill, oh, and the demigods from the Empire's Heresy Adjudication Bureau, as well as the Farlor Royal Family's demigod retinue, will all take you for questioning."
"You've drawn all the attention onto yourself. Yet we all know that you could complete the ritual ceremony only because you were favored by the Radiant Goddess, Luojia. You're still the Child of the Curse, never a Saint Heir, that was only a lie."
"Once you step out of Heaven tonight, under the scrutiny of so many demigods in the real world, you will be exposed in no time," Merlin's expression was full of schadenfreude, "You have intensified the conflict too much, once exposed, there's no room for recovery."
"Can't I just stay in Heaven?" An Su looked serious, "Here, the magic power is unlimited and readily adjustable, it's simply the best training room, staying here for a year to avoid the limelight is also no problem. A little inconvenience is bearable."
"I bloody well don't want to!" Merlin exploded in anger, "I bloody well don't want to stay in the same room with you while you're here enjoying a vacation, I'm supposed to work here!"
"—That was my previous thought." An Su shook his head, voice taking a turn, "But now, I might have found a better solution."
"What solution?" Merlin looked skeptical.
"The Holy Level Crown Title I just received." An Su paused, then demonstrated the effects of the Crown Title, "[Able to perform a conceptual reversal on any magic or being, lasting for one day], the effect is very practical."
"Are you bragging to me..." Merlin smirked sarcastically, "You can reverse magic. Then what?"
"It's magic or beings," An Su explained, "Just now, I've tried to reverse the concept of 'magic,' but I haven't yet tried to reverse the concept of 'beings.' I myself am a being after all. This is the last usage of the Crown Title, my final experiment."
"What do you intend to do?" Merlin's eyes widened, a thought dawned on him.
"My physique—as the origin of An Su Moningsta, the Dark Son of the Child of the Curse, abhorred by Radiance, secretly cherished, the 'Child of the Curse,' is the concept of a being, the extreme of darkness."
An Su modified the time in Heaven again, the pure white clouds quickly passed tinted with the evening's rosy red, the setting sun melted into the cloud marsh, crossing the twilight, day and stars made their exchange, the twinkling stars traced trajectories one after another along the sky, the young man with grey-white hair stood among the stars and the sea of clouds, standing on the countless steps of Heaven, those dark cyan eyes shining the brightest light.
"Miss Luojia, I've decided on my Crown Title."
"I want to be your Pope."
The young man raised his hand towards the inverted Heaven and declared, "[Reversed Pope]."
An Su used [Reversed Pope] on himself, he saw countless starlights streaming from his eyes, saw inverted stairs, saw himself walking in an inverted world, all concepts, all circuits, all light and darkness, good and evil, all right and wrong, were reversed in those inverted stairs, turning back, flowing backward, and in this inversion he crossed the chaotic boundary, temporarily reaching a shore he had never achieved before.
Even if it lasts only a day,
The concept of the Child of the Curse has been completely reversed—
Bursting forth the most brilliant radiance.
If this is a lie, then let the lie be reversed into truth!
[Crown Title]
[Reversed Pope]
[From now on, God will no longer honor you, your crown can only be bestowed by yourself.]
[An Su Moningsta, you have greatly piqued the interest of the Radiant Goddess!!]
