"Are you, the dog of this kind of city owner?"
"Such words sound very delicate. After all, I am indeed a dog."
The other party admitted it.
Orelus didn't quite understand Academy City. For example, the seven superpowers were something that was advertised openly, and he knew a little about it. But he knew nothing about the board members.
"Aleister...is it really him?"
Aleister, the chairman of Academy City, has the same name as the genius magician from a hundred years ago. But how could a magician become the headquarters of the scientific side?
——But considering the experience of the man who was hunted by magicians, it is not surprising.
The hound in front of him was wearing a suit of armor with guns, launchers, cannons, knives, spears and other weapons on it. Orelus was very curious about how a technological product could hide so many things.
But there are so many things. There is a mysterious aura on that driving armor.
Orelus quickly discarded the information and asked, "I'm curious, why did you let him go? Don't you know his true nature? If you're worried about his death, then I can just erase his true nature."
No further words needed.
The man who had not yet become a demon god knew that he was communicating with the ruler of this city.
This non-violent approach was something he didn't like. Although he liked to help others, the magician named Orelus would often only use violence to solve problems.
When he chooses to use nonviolence, it is a concession.
"Why do you have to target him?"
"You can sense his true nature. It is the Beast of Original Sin."
Cancer is a terminal illness for humans. In Orel's eyes, Li Mo is just like cancer to the human race.
"Is he really that kind of person? I had a brief exchange with that young man. He has emotions that normal people have, lust, pride, laziness... More importantly, your judgment is wrong. Are people who bear original sin necessarily evil? Isn't the rope of your Christianity the one that bears original sin for the world?
That young man exists only as a symbol of human self-destruction.
It is not the suicide of individual humans. It is the killing and destruction among humans as a group. It is all the wars and fires from the Stone Age to the current technological age.
It is not his existence that brings about the destruction of mankind. It is that such a thing has already happened, and he was born. "
Orelus paused for a moment. His judgment was based on "original sin". If the number of original sins in an ordinary person is one, then the number of original sins in a wicked person can reach more than one hundred. And what about the magician?
The unit order of magnitude is 100 million!
He seemed to be the epitome of all the evil in human nature.
Killing, conspiracy, hatred, resentment, jealousy...it seems that all the negative words that describe human emotions can be used to describe him.
Orelus understood the cause and effect relationship the other party was talking about.
"No, I mean, his mere presence brings disaster. This is not a change of his will. He is cancer to the human species, just like cancer to an individual. Just standing there, he brings disaster."
"Disaster? You remind me of the Ten Plagues of Egypt in Christianity, which were God's punishment. But it's not that level. It's more of a test than a disaster. Do you know the story of Angra Mainyu?"
"The Zoroastrian god of evil."
"What I want to talk about is a story about a person named Angora Mainyu. In the distant past, an ordinary human was executed for being named Angora Mainyu. I don't think I need to say more about this story."
Orelus fell into a subtle silence.
With his perspective, he could see the meaning of this story - in the dualism of good and evil, there is only good and evil. A person is either good or evil, and the two are contradictory and cannot exist at the same time. Killing a good person is evil, and killing an evil person is good.
——Then, the person who killed the evil god Angra Mainyu must be kind.
What a simple value.
Even in the mysticism, one can go a step further. The only one who can oppose Angra Mainyu is the good god Ahura Mazda. It is not impossible to "armor" oneself from the outer layer of mythology.
Kihara Naogan didn't care about Orel's original intention, he just faithfully relayed what others said.
"Zoroastrianism is a special dualistic system. It is a constant confrontation between the two gods of good and evil. But humans are both good and evil, and good and evil are one and the same. You can call it "human evil" and to some extent, it can also be "human love". Rather than a disaster, it is a test, a trial, a "trial" for human sublimation."
Orelus closed his eyes and thought.
He thought of a word.
Gnosticism.
In this doctrine, humans are gods in the process of refining. As long as they continue to train themselves and obtain the body of gods, they can manipulate miracles at will. The existence of that magician seems to be the last hurdle in this process?
Trial.
Nature……
Orelus began to recall the moment before the golden retriever arrived. At that time, the other party squeezed him and revealed everything. The strong "evil" was so clear, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be some subtle existence hidden underneath it.
"It's not evil that brings disaster, but love that brings disaster? What an interesting existence." Orelus understood everything. He said, "Well, this matter has been resolved. How about the seventh one?"
"The chairman said he already knew..."
"That's good."
Orelus chose to retreat. In a distant Italy, in a city called Milan, there was a person waiting for him in an apartment.
Chapter 332: The Boy Chasing the Fallen Angel
The 7th and 10th school districts of Academy City border each other. Even the dormitory of Tokiwadai Girls' College is very close to the 10th school district.
The entire Academy City is a circular metropolitan area. From space, it is a standard circle, and the names of the 23 school districts in the Academy City are not given in rotation, but more like random names.
Therefore, Li Mo was able to get from the 10th District to the 7th District in the shortest possible time. Correspondingly, it was also a quick trip from the 7th District back to the 10th District.
The "Medicine of God" is still in the Tenth District. Its body is an AIM diffusion field, which is a distortion of the entire artificial heaven of the Academy City.
The interesting thing is that the fuse of the artificial heaven, Feng Zhan Bing Hua, did not appear. She didn't even have one, let alone the "Dragon" behind that artificial angel.
Secondly...
Why would Aleister help me?
It can't be because his magic name and mine are similar, right?
Beast444.
This is Li Mo's magical name, which means to become a beast man.
The difference between it and Aleister's magic name, Beast666, is only a numerical one.
Li Mo immediately discarded this joking thought. He had fled to the seventh school district before, aiming for the building without windows. In fact, after he got the magic book in Index's mind that day, he mastered the short-distance space movement that Medea mastered. He used this magic to take Frenda away from Stiyl and Kamijou Touma.
——When I go inside, I may have to face the cold Aleister. But at least he will not kill me immediately because he still has value to me.
And Orelus, the good man emperor, chose to take action after seeing his true nature of "human evil". Should we say that he is worthy of being a guy who lost the opportunity to become a demon god in order to save the cat?
Li Mo actually wanted to say something like "human evil" is also "human love", but he gave up after a second thought. Look at what the predecessors have done. Beast I Goetia directly burned the entire human history to reshape the entire human race. Beast II Tiamat's mere existence will lead to the reshaping of the entire ecosystem. The two Beast IIIs, one of whom is the only human being saved by the Killing House, are completely demonic Buddhas. Kama... let's not talk about it for now. The two Beast IVs, one is a primate killer who doesn't show much. The other Miss Goyanskaya, herself exists to deny human history.
Look at these seniors, a bunch of them have done nothing good. ——Even if human evil is human love, but being too paranoid in love is not a good thing! Who still likes yanderes now?
The essence of human evil is human love that has become paranoid to a certain extent. Just like a mother who always dotes on her child, it always leads to various things happening.
On the way back, there was no one. Li Mo walked over with complete swagger. When he went to the seventh school district, he restrained all his aura and shuttled through the streets like a ghost. But now, he was like an evil ghost in a story or legend. The magic power that leaked out turned into a thick gas, as if he was surrounded by thick fog.
After activating "Four Nights' End", Li Mo lost his precise control ability. Now he couldn't perform precise actions, and the only thing he could do was probably indiscriminate bombardment.
Then, after he saw the angel, he saw the unexpected man.
"Why are you here, Kamijou Touma?"
With that iconic hedgehog head, Li Mo could tell at a glance that the other person was Kamijou Touma. Imagine Breaker, why did he appear here?
Could it be...
Mr. Kamijou was very surprised when he first came to this place. He and Stiyl heard a loud noise coming from the 10th District. At the same time, they saw a street that seemed to have been washed away by a mudslide, with concrete and soil piled up on the street. The surrounding buildings were cut off in the middle, revealing the steel bars inside.
——The terrifying destructive power was terrifying. But Kamijou Touma knew who was fighting the angels.
But coming to this place...
The culprit who destroyed all this. The unknown angel was there - unlike a month or two ago, the angel did not use the appearance of a human. After Stiyl's explanation, that was one of the angel's obvious appearances.
The angel lay in the ruins, motionless. It was not dead, but was severely damaged and sealed.
Who did all this?
Although the answer has not yet been found, it has been solved.
He saw a group of people coming in front of him with black mist, and then a slightly familiar voice came from the black mist.
The young magician.
"That's, magic... Damn. What kind of monster is this."
The magician next to him explained what the black fog was.
Magic power is the product of life force. Even a magic novice like Kamijou Touma deeply understands what this scale of magic fog represents...
"Are you the magician who kidnapped Index a few days ago?"
"it's me."
Kamijou Touma saw the thick fog part, revealing the real body inside. There were four white tails behind him, a pair of white tails on his head, and those eyes were golden vertical pupils like those of a beast.
The other party is not human.
The other person's face remained the same.
"You are the host of Angel's Fall."
"it's me."
Kamijou Touma saw the other man take a step forward. The next second, his instinct told him to stand still and throw punches.
Mr. Kamijou was able to beat two or three thugs at once, relying on his almost predictive intuition.
He had a feeling that the opponent's claws were about to swing at Mr. Kamijou's head.
Only by using the right hand can I offset the damage this time.
"how come?"
The moment of contact, his intuition changed. The premonition of danger disappeared, and Stiyl fell down instead.
He looked up and saw that the other person had appeared behind him, next to the angel.
For an instant.
