When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 1085: Chapter 421: Half-Deer Half-Human Aiwass (Seeking Monthly Votes)

When the Pure White Saint reached the twenty-second ring, she had no idea what she would see.

Grey, of course, knew that this was the day of Aiwass’s ascension ceremony.

In fact, Grey had already breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the news.

——At least our Holiness survived, right?

In a world where the five-to-six ascension ceremony is merely a legend, the four-to-five ceremony is essentially the most advanced ascension ceremony there is. The New Moon Ritual further increased its difficulty and also became disadvantageous to the Path of Devotion.

Grey had even mentally prepared herself for the emergency succession of the Holy Crown.

After all, she herself is a candidate for the Eternal Pope and has the ability to wear the Holy Crown.

The reason she wasn’t chosen as the Pope was merely due to political reasons.

An amberfied Elf succeeding as the Eternal Pope—that would be too sensitive in the current Holy Nation.

——It’s akin to the Crown Prince of Avalon rebuilding the Lohar Society; Star Antimony denying their founding declaration of “ability over all”; the mages of Daffodil Territory, who guard the imprisoned Son of the Moon, becoming the Son of the Moon themselves; the Iris Flower, symbolizing freedom, beginning to rebuild the noble system and secret police; Black Hawk’s mercenary corps openly betraying their employer; and the slaves of Parthian Ancient Country launching a large-scale uprising for the fourth time…

What, all these things happened?

Ah, then never mind.

As expected, the Holy Nation is still too traditional, unlike other countries that boldly accept challenges to their traditions…

But in any case…Even though Grey could have become the Pope, she handed the Holy Crown to Aiwass, merely to prevent internal strife and even division within the Holy Nation.

If Aiwass were to meet with misfortune, she would certainly risk the division of the Holy Nation by directly wearing the Holy Crown to continue maintaining its existence.

——Even if accused, it wouldn’t detract from her resolve. This is, after all, one aspect of the principle of Dedication.
