Everything that happened in Academy City could not be hidden from him. He was the founder of this city, the ruler of this city, and the guardian of this city.
For him, this is "the place of the renaissance of Thelema".
He keeps an eye on the city.
Li Mo never thought of hiding anything from Aleister. He always did everything in a high-profile manner. "No need. We have already arranged the backup plan to this extent. It won't fail. Of course, if it were you, the chairman, you could have stopped it."
Aleister said: "I don't have that inclination"
"I know, that's why I am so confident standing here." Li Mo said with a smile.
"Aren't you here to observe me?" Aleister asked.
"No, no, no, respected chairman. Is it possible that I am waiting for the time to act?" Li Mo tilted his head and said, "Personally, I think that when you leave the life support device, this war will end. It is also the time for action to begin."
Memory is infallible.
Li Mo can clearly dig out the memory of the story. When the Star of Bethlehem fell, Kamijou Touma gave the escape pod to the Flame of the Right, and when the Flame of the Right fled to Russian land, he was defeated again by Aleister.
Not a clone, not a possibility, but the real person.
"You think I'll go to Russia?"
“You have to go for Kamijou Touma, right?”
Aleister, who was lying upside down in the life support device, showed no emotion at all. He spoke in a cold voice like the crowd: "Do you know Kamijou Touma well?"
"I only know that there is something under Kamijou Touma's right hand, but I don't know what it is."
Kamijou Touma, the absolute protagonist.
When Othinus destroyed the world, he was the one who stood up. I think there would be many people like him who could stay awake at that time. But he was the first one to stand in front of Othinus.
Li Mo stayed away from Kamijou Touma.
Aleister's attention to Kamijou Touma made him undecided.
"Really? Your opinion is that Kamijou Touma's true nature will be revealed in this war, right?"
"Yes, Right Flame is not an ordinary magician. Among the four people of God's Right Seat, he surpasses the other three by several dimensions. He is now in the "Age of Osiris", but his goal is the "Age of Horus."
Era is one of the key words in Thelema. Aleister artificially divides magic into eras, and believes that the next era will crush the previous one.
The "Age of Osiris" refers to the present, an era when Christianity is at its peak. The "Age of Horus" refers to the future, a new existence that transcends Christianity.
Aleister: "According to what you said, I really have to go to Russia?"
"Yes, when Bethlehem fell, it meant that Russia was defeated. Wouldn't it be a good time to take action at that time? The war was over."
Li Mo spoke.
"Is that what you think? Are you worried about giving someone a handle on you?"
"Civil unrest during a foreign war is something that gives people leverage. Six directors have been removed from office recently, right? Even if directors can be promoted at any time, replacing so many directors at once will more or less affect the operation of this city, right?"
To Aleister, the General Director was just a high-level employee, and he was the only one who truly followed the will of the entire city. Therefore, it didn't matter if the employee was replaced.
However, the operation of the entire city still depends on the General Director. In the past, Aleister maintained Aleister in all aspects, but when Kamijou Touma and Accelerator entered the city, his attention shifted from maintaining the city to these two people, right?
Li Mo did not forget that in the near future, the entire city would be in a state of shutdown, and Aleister would not take any action.
"Respected Chairman, I have a reminder for you. Even though Aleister has been dead for more than sixty years, Crowley's Specialized Response Division still continues."
"I see."
Aleister gave a cold reply.
Li Mo kept silent.
At this moment, Aleister made him feel unpredictable. If it was the silver-haired girl Aleister, he could tell him everything. At most, he could hide the existence of Lilith to prevent Aleister's "loser" characteristics from affecting Lilith's return. ——Didn't Edwards tell Aleister about this?
Aleister then fell silent, as if he were calculating.
He and the British Puritans had a cooperative relationship, and in the Third World War, the two sides were comrades-in-arms side by side.
On second thought, would the former allies stab you in the back?
No... Coronzon's subsequent thinking is hardly from the perspective of English Puritanism.
"You know more than I thought." Edwards' voice appeared in Li Mo's ears.
Here, He can show His own appearance. This angel from the physical world without various phases has the same appearance as an angel - or in some ways, He is closer to the angel in human imagination than Raphael.
Li Mo said, "Evans, why do you think I know so much?"
"You like to peek?" Aiwass said, "Just like Aleister uses the hovering loop to monitor the entire Academy City, you use some unknown method to monitor the whole world."
Li Mo said: "I'm not a demon god, how could I do that?"
"After all, you saw it," Edwards said with a hint of humanity.
Only by seeing first can you answer.
If you don't know, how can you give a clue? You can't just guess blindly, right?
Li Mo shrugged, "Well, you'll know after I leave."
"So when are you leaving? I'm very curious about your secret." Edwards said, "More importantly, in the near future, I won't be able to maintain my status in this world."
Aiwass's presence in Academy City is closely related to Last Order. And when Accelerator takes Last Order to Russia to find a way to tidy her up, it means that Aiwass will eventually lose Last Order as her "possession".
Li Mo said, "If I wasn't planning to leave soon, maybe I could have allowed you to exist in Academy City instead of Last Order."
"I appreciate your kindness. I'm looking forward to that moment." Edwards said gently.
So Li Mo waited in the building of Aleister. There was no sound of conversation in the empty building, and the three people seemed to be doing their own things.
Mr. Li did not feel embarrassed. On the one hand, he was on high alert and ready to leave at any time. On the other hand, he devoted himself to studying the magic book.
soon……
Aleister broke the silence.
"As you said, I'm going to Russia."
Aleister, wearing a green surgical gown, stepped out of the life support device.
Chapter 377: Holy Scar
Aleister left the windowless building.
Li Mo couldn't understand the way he left. It seemed like he was moving in space, but it also seemed like space was distorted under his footsteps.
Li Mo's knowledge base was not enough to understand Aleister's methods.
"What's wrong? Are you shocked?" Edwards said, "Although Aleister always fails, he is indeed the greatest magician in modern times, no doubt about it. He could have become a demon god, but he refused."
Li Mo said: "I have expectations about Aleister's power. But no matter how much information is written, it is not as good as seeing it in person. I don't understand the means by which he left, and it is worth studying for many years. But I care more about the feeling of him."
After a pause, as if recalling the feeling at that moment, he said: "The aura on him is too complicated, as if the entire biosphere has been piled together. Can he still be considered a human being?"
"How can he not be considered human? Aleister just put all his own "ifs" together." Edwards said, "The world is always full of diversity. For example, the possibility that Aleister is a girl, the possibility that he is a dinosaur, the possibility that he is a sea monster, the possibility that Aleister is not married... There are so many possibilities, just like a pot of stew, any dish can be thrown in, but these dishes have one thing in common, they are all Aleister."
Crowley Frenzy.
Li Mo didn't expect that he could feel the disaster that would happen in the UK in the future. There were more than a billion possibilities all bound together. The man named Aleister was a complete monster.
Just the magnitude alone was terrifying. His own spiritual base mass was barely a few tons.
"In fact, there are quite a few things mixed in you. Humans, man-eating monsters similar to the Wendigo, monsters, angels... Of course, more importantly, the essence of the evil god." Edwards saw through Li Mo's essence and said slowly.
Li Mo has four tails, each of which has a different mystery.
From the perspective of mysticism, he is a hodgepodge, everything and nothing.
"The essence of the evil god can actually be understood as the coming of the Son of God." Li Mo complained: "At this moment, the Star of Bethlehem is hanging high in the sky. As a person who bears the sins of the world, can't I be Jesus?"
Magic is the art of deception, and its essence lies in "approximately equal".
Aiwass smiled and said, "You can try to do it."
"Don't ask. If you ask, it means I've already tried it." Li Mo replied.
He had indeed tried, and being close to the Son of God in the current worldview meant being a saint, that is, a saint like Kanzaki Kaori. He even felt a holy mark appear on his abdomen - the mark of the Son of God being tortured in the past.
During this time in the building, Li Mo tried to do this thing. It was just an attempt, but it succeeded unexpectedly, so he continued to do it. The consequence at most would be to blow himself up.
For Li Mo, who possesses "pseudo-immortality", the explosion of his body is not something difficult to accept.
"You are the first man-made saint."
"Magicians who want to become saints don't have the ability, and magicians who have the ability look down on the saint's physique." Li Mo said self-deprecatingly: "Only a hodgepodge like me wants everything."
“There’s nothing shameful about borrowing from other systems and mixing in other elements,” Edwards said. “What’s more valuable is that you can forge your own path.”
Based on Gao Yanskaya's method, he devoured the symbols of others to strengthen his own spiritual foundation. He gradually grew and transformed, and finally became a human evil.
But the things he absorbed were too complicated, and the knowledge he was exposed to was even more. Li Mo's eyes did not only stay on human evil. How strong was the scale of human evil's spiritual base? Could it be compared to the devil?
It is possible to become a demon god if you obtain 130,000 magic books.
Li Mo didn't plan to become a demon god, nor did he expect to become a monster like Aleister. But there was still hope for him to become a being who could cross the abyss like Accelerator, right?
"Remember what I told you last time? Your goal should not be Angra Mainyu in Zoroastrian mythology, but something more abstract. For example, the test given to mankind by God." Edwards said.
Li Mo said: "I already have an idea. Thank you for your advice, Edwards. But it turns out that you are also a good teacher, Edwards."
Accelerator went to Russia entirely under Aiwass's guidance. It is unknown whether this action was Aleister's idea or his own.
Edwards was not prepared to tell Li Mo the answer to this question.
The appearance of the stigmata meant that Li had become a saint. By taking advantage of the similarity with the "tortured son of God", he gained some power and was strengthened. After the strengthening, Li stuffed the mysterious nature of the stigmata into the fourth tail.
This was an unexpected surprise. The saint's physique allowed Li Mo's body, which had not been strengthened for a long time, to reach a higher level. However, Li's current strength was all based on the ability in his tail. The "Mimic Immortality" in the three tails was his last resort.
The communication between the "human" and the "angel" ended here, because Aleister appeared in the tower again.
"Seven hundred seconds." Edwards said, "Aleister's wavelength was active in the outside world for a total of seven hundred seconds."
Seven hundred seconds is a very short time, no more than ten minutes in total, but in this long time, Aleister completed a round trip from Academy City to the Russian Far East, and defeated the Right Fire in the process.
It was normal for Aleister to do such a thing.
Li picked up his phone and made a call. On the other end of the line was Yuuki Yuuki, the former "guide" who had become Li Mo's secretary.
"Take action."
