Chapter 595 595: The True Savior
Boom!
Within the violently spinning bronze vortex, time had long been thrown into chaos. Countless fireballs, changing from small to large and large to small, ultimately all took on the posture of a meteor shower, smashing toward the ground.
As if to completely evaporate this ocean, and also completely incinerate this Furnace of Life.
Amidst the roar of the complete form Dragon King, Laurence's consciousness was interrupted from its process of infinite ascension.
He had to look down at the entire ocean from below the sea of clouds. The entire English Channel, France, England, Ireland, and the broader continent were all within his field of vision.
His countless eyes looked in different directions.
Scene after scene appeared in his mind; those were the sights currently seen by the beasts already spread across this continent.
Laurence abruptly leaned forward and dived down, his consciousness burning like a furnace.
A strange light and fluctuation spread out from his consciousness body.
Birth, aging, illness, and death; the eternal laws that imprisoned all lifeforms in this world.
No matter how stunningly brilliant one was, like that Lady Latina in the dark ages, who created a new human civilization together with the visitors from the starry sky.
And with just a little scheme, caused the powerful Dragons to ultimately head towards division.
Then she died; in just over sixty years from beginning to end, she turned into yellow earth.
That Chosen King of England, how destined by heaven, an unparalleled hero, even daring to fight a giant dragon.
Then she also died.
Laurence had seen too many such stories; he was originally supposed to become a part of other people's stories too.
"His Holiness Laurence was stunningly brilliant. With a human body, he obtained mighty power rivaling a Dragon King, allowing humanity to gain prosperity in the Middle Ages, and ultimately died in such-and-such year."
He originally accepted this kind of ending as well, but it was a pity, he was too strong...
Back then, the few people Lady Latina brought with her divided the Old God's blood. Each drank a portion, and finally, the bloodline circulated, becoming the unchanging pillar of the Healing Church.
Fighting generation after generation against the reviving Dragon Kings and those powerful Secondary Generation dragons.
But Laurence, under a coincidence of fate, simultaneously obtained multiple portions of the Old God's blood, and moreover, he completely resisted the Old God's mental pollution.
The so-called Old God's pollution wasn't absolute; it was a kind of knowledge, a knowledge completely unable to be learned by ordinary humans, knowledge that only existed within the starry sky.
Humans unable to adapt to that kind of knowledge ultimately underwent mutation and became [Beasts], while Laurence accepted all the knowledge and achieved the title of the [Crimson Pope].
From this, following the residual spirit of the Old God, he went to see that starry sky. It was also there that Laurence saw clear the true power.
There were no gods, no demons, no hell.
Everything was nothing more than the result of observation.
The world was originally chaos. A group of higher-dimensional existences observed the chaos according to the future they desired, and thus reality was born.
The birth, aging, illness, and death of humanity were all nothing more than the result of observation.
Why do people have to die?
Laurence remembered asking his mother this when he was five years old, but his mother was just a peasant woman without much insight. She merely patted Laurence's head and said,
"People have to die eventually; that's something that can't be helped, Laurence."
Buzz buzz~
As if something was vibrating out of thin air, so much so that the ocean began to boil. Those flaming meteors falling from the sky exploded in the air before even touching that huge blood mist.
Rings of golden ripples spread outwards out of thin air. The ripples spread extremely fast, exceeding tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
Like a huge magic circle, stretching across above the continent.
In the middle of the golden ripples, a pair of eyes opened; it was exactly Laurence's huge eyes containing countless pupils.
Laurence's eyes grew increasingly compassionate. He knew very well that his next strike would kill thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands to millions of people.
But humans... are inherently so sorrowful.
If they couldn't evolve together with him, they would forever be imprisoned in the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death.
Not knowing why they are born, nor knowing the reason for their death.
That kind of immense sorrow was exactly the foundation supporting Laurence to accommodate such a massive amount of beastified humans without losing control right now.
Laurence looked down on Kaito Shirogane because he saw through Kaito Shirogane's beastly nature at a glance. No matter how well he disguised it, no matter how much he wanted to get close to the human heart, his inner core was ultimately as dead and silent as the starry sky.
And he was not striking a pose, not being selfish; he was the one who truly wanted to save the people of the world... the Crimson Pope!
"Children of men, together with me, let us climb to the pinnacle of life!"
"Let us personally go and ask those creators who coldly molded this world into this posture: is this despairing world interesting?!"
Rumble!
As if above a huge furnace, angry flames frantically spewed out, turning into a massive torch soaring into the sky.
The might of those flames actually forced the flaming meteors in the sky to roll back. The Dragon King who controlled fire began to find himself unable to control this fire full of the mortal world's anger.
Roar!
A huge roar shook heaven and earth. From the grasslands, from the wastelands, and even from the cold peaks of the Alps, the roars of beasts rang out.
The evil consequences brewed by the Healing Church aiding humanity over countless years with "Blood Ministration," a method like drinking poison to quench thirst, were reversed by Laurence at this moment.
All evil began marching toward the good of saving everything!
One by one, twisted or ugly bodies leaped up from every corner of the earth, responding to the will of His Holiness encompassing heaven and earth in the sky, and threw themselves into the furnace.
Flesh and blood bodies dissolved in an instant within the terrifying flames, turning into pure flesh, blood, and souls, refined by the furnace.
Below, within the dense blood mist where Kaito Shirogane was located.
That inherently incomparably intense vitality had its concentration further increased.
Creak, creak...
Massive amounts of flesh and blood constantly proliferated. Kaito Shirogane's face was completely obscured. He was immersed in the pleasure obtained from that huge power, and inadvertently, his body had already been piled up by even more massive flesh and blood.
So much so that ultimately, when that giant of flesh and blood took shape, Kaito Shirogane was already wrapped in the deepest part.
Phew~
The flesh and blood giant exhaled a breath. The scorching breath instantly surged toward the ocean. The seawater became boiling hot, and countless sea fish died and floated to the surface.
"Ah!"
The flesh and blood giant opened its mouth and roared. A scarlet shockwave broke through the air.
Boom!
The sea of clouds was instantly pierced through. The bronze vortex in the sky shook violently, and the wails of the Dragon King emanated from it.
The flesh and blood giant spread its arms, roaring increasingly angrily at the sky.
Laurence's will had not yet fallen from the sky. He still felt it wasn't enough; this level was still not enough to set foot in the starry sky.
The stairway of life had not yet completely unfolded.
He still needed a crucial adhesive, a "joke" intentionally sent to this world by the [Observers]!
A huge eye began to condense from the massive golden ripples.
Artoria's expression was solemn. She felt a huge pressure descending from the sky.
That was... the pressure of a gaze!
The other party's spiritual power and biological level were terrifyingly high. Just the eyes looking over would cause tremendous pressure.
With one hand, she flung the Professor, who was spurting blood again, far away into the ocean. She was about to fling Seraphina out too, but her hand froze in mid-air.
That red-haired young girl, as if completely unable to feel the pressure, stood quietly on the grassland, looking up at that huge eye in the sky.
"His Holiness Laurence is truly remarkable..."
She praised sincerely. She could see that His Holiness Laurence's heart to save the world was true.
That was a grand ambition she could never possess no matter what.
It's just a pity... that is not an ending everyone is willing to accept.
Seraphina raised her wrist; the scarlet blood flickered with ruby-like radiance.
Thump.
In the next moment, it was as if the flesh and blood giant's heart beat violently.
Thump!
A more obvious beating sound appeared.
Then, on the giant's face covered in knotted flesh and blood, facial features actually began to appear bit by bit. The flesh and blood on the back of the head extended like tentacles, turning into thick, fleshy long hair.
"Ha... hahaha... haha"
A terrifying laughter appeared. Laurence's eye trembled slightly, and then he heard the voice of that beast-like man.
"This power of flesh and blood, you've done well, Laurence!"
Boom! A powerful, resolute Qi soared into the sky. In an instant, the sea of clouds directly disappeared as if melting.
