Pastor's Tantra

The Eternal Theocracy, the twenty-second circle.

Aiwass's eyes were closed and his face was pale, lying quietly among the blood-sucking black thorns like a corpse.

He was wearing the black-red robe of the Eternal Pope, and it looked like dark red roses had filled his coffin.

It is different from the physical body that is “consecrated”.

At this moment, Aiwass has another mode of existence that is completely different from the past——

His consciousness shrouded the entire giant tree... In other words, at this moment, Aiwass and the Theocracy had become one.

——The situation is much better than what was initially expected.

When Aiwass knew that he would have to hang up here as the eternal pope, he subconsciously regarded this position as an inescapable prison. In other words, Aiwass actually took over the Holy Crown with the mentality of "Okay, okay, I'll go to jail for you."

As a result, it seems now... the job of interim pope is surprisingly pleasant.

He seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, turning into streams of breeze, moonlight, and torches, gently touching everything that existed inside the giant tree.

He turned into a golden spirit body and appeared on the streets of the third circle. In fact, it is not his spirit body that appears here - with the power of the Holy Crown, if his soul comes here, I am afraid that in this dark night, the entire street will light up like noon.

Aiwass now stays in the interlayer between the material world and the dream world.

This place is like the kingdom of fairies. It is neither in the material world nor the dream world. Here, Aiwass is "out of the same layer" as everyone else. Aiwass was invisible to everyone and out of reach of him.

And as Aiwass's thoughts move, he can appear in any corner of any floor anytime, anywhere. He can fly at will and pass through all buildings and walls at will... He seems to have become an observer, and all the children of the giant tree have become his children at this moment.

...The feeling is like a left-behind child who was alone and got a beloved pet.

My lonely heart was instantly filled with love, and now I am still smiling even if I do nothing. Just watching them walking around and doing their own things will make me feel warm and happy, and my mood will become very relaxed... even time feels like it flies by.

——It’s as fast as playing Civilization.

Aiwass had never given birth to his own children in the past, so he didn't know what it was like to be a parent... But Aiwass thought that even if he did have his own children, this would probably be the feeling.

I wish I could give them everything, and not ask for anything, just pure warmth, hope and love. The time became quiet and warm... If given the chance, Aiwass even felt that he could stay like this forever.

It’s no wonder that this position can cultivate a heart of devotion... Aiwass had only been the pope for a few days, and he felt that his eyes had become compassionate.

The smell of mother in the former pope was probably cultivated in this way...

At this moment, an old man on crutches slowly passed by Aiwass.

When he passed by a protruding tree root, he almost tripped and fell to the ground without lifting his feet——

But at this moment, an invisible force appeared beside the old man and helped him.

"...Oh, be careful."

Aiwass thought, and some invisible force interfered a little: "It's better not to go out in the middle of the night, old man."

His voice rang in the old man's heart. The old man was stunned for a moment and then understood.

Although he didn't know who the person who helped him—or the ghost—was, he still bowed in front of him respectfully and devoutly.

After all, he is so old, and it is indeed easy for him to get into trouble if he accidentally falls. In the middle of the night, there weren't many people even on the streets of Theocratic State, so it might have been too late by the time someone discovered him.

At this moment, Aiwass suddenly raised his head and looked south.

——That is the direction of Star Antimony.

Although he and Aleister have been able to act independently, they are still two phantoms of the same person. As long as Aleister thinks about it, her information and memories will immediately appear in Aiwass's mind.

Yes, the cloud is synchronized.

"...Really, you have to be careful with yourself."

Aiwass just shook his head, a little worried about Aleister.

——Even though there was Night Stalker following Aleister and Ms. Honey Badger helping him, Aleister's easily inflated character still made Aiwass a little worried.

When Aiwass was playing games in his previous life, this situation often occurred - in situations of balance or even disadvantage, his mentality and performance would become quite stable, and even the more stressful the scene, the more he could perform beyond his level. . But if he has a smooth ride, he can easily get carried away and send a big one.

His current caution is largely due to his self-awareness.

But now it seems that all these cautions have been assigned to Aiwass's side.

"...It's really unsettling."

Aiwass sighed.

However, Aleister asked him for support, and Aiwass couldn't hold him back.

In addition to being a powerful artifact, the Holy Crown is also a functional prop that can be used to lock the bishop.

The next moment, several golden dots appeared in front of his eyes - they were clergymen with the level of "bishop" and above near Aleister.

Aiwass randomly selected one, and then his consciousness sank into the man's dream.

At the moment of entering the dream, Aiwass encountered the other party's subconscious resistance - but that resistance was easily disintegrated. Physically speaking, it was a bit like poking a taut disposable plastic bag with a finger.

However, the other party was very vigilant... The moment she realized that she was in a dream, the bishop lady who was in a daze in the dream woke up.

She failed to escape from the dream directly, but she didn't wake up instantly. In her consciousness, it seemed to see a brilliant sun.

"Mia Mueller... right."

Aiwass's originally clear young voice also seemed brilliant and sacred under the heavy echo: "I have a task to assign to you, Mia..."

Then Aiwass sent all the needs from Aleister to Bishop Mueller.

Mia raised her head, and the divine intuition in her heart told her that this was the current Pope far away in the Church.

Although she couldn't see the Pope's appearance clearly... In her opinion, the Pope was like a sphere burning with flames and shining with light, looking like the sun.

She knelt on the ground without hesitation, and her forehead touched the ground.

As a devotee, she was not afraid of sacrifice and dedication. This is one of the duties of the bishop.

It's just that in the past, the Eternal Pope would never call them if he had something to do... Because if there was anything, it must be completed by the Pope's guards first. The Pope looked at them like a loving mother looking at her children, wishing that they all rested and didn't get tired.

But Aiwas was different.

He clearly knew the personal needs of the devotees - compared to concerns such as "don't get tired" and "be careful of danger", the bishops wanted to complete the tasks given by the Pope.

Feeling the warmth brought by the strong power of devotion on her back, she responded devoutly: "I will complete your sacred mission..."

"——The great pope."

As the first bishop in Xingti to be summoned by the pope, she was almost moved to tears.

Although she seemed to be only in her early thirties, Mia was actually in her fifties this year. It was the fire worship that maintained her youthful appearance and healthy body.

And in all these years, she only went to the church once when she was promoted to bishop.

Now she was entrusted with an important task by the pope——although it was just a simple funeral like "saving someone's soul". But it was also a strong sense of reality that "one's own faith became reality".

Even in the mortal kingdom, being entrusted by the monarch himself was enough to make the common people excited. And they live in the way of devotion and respect the faith of the nine pillars. Not to mention the pope, even if the cardinal personally issued an order, she could feel a strong sense of mission...

——For this grace and trust.

Even if it requires her to fight against the society, she will definitely complete the mission given by His Holiness the Pope!
