Having clarified the hierarchical relationship, the Rose Lord felt quite helpless and spread his hands, saying, “Then, Your Majesty, what are your orders?”
Luo Mi secretly breathed a sigh of relief before saying, “At least show some sincerity and let your true form come over.”
The Rose Lord chuckled and said, “Your Majesty, I value my life highly and would never dare to enter Bethlehem— I dare not gamble with your leniency.”
Luo Mi raised his eyebrows: “Then there’s nothing more to say.”
The Rose Lord looked at him quietly for a while before smiling and saying, “Actually, I have a vague feeling that you still have some needs from me, otherwise you wouldn’t be here talking to me for so long.”
Luo Mi did not deny it: “Yes, but that need isn’t that important.”
The Rose Lord pondered for a moment, then conceded slightly: “How about this? I can come in my true form, but I will completely merge my true form into the body of this descendant. If you want to purify me, you will purify this descendant as well.”
Luo Mi raised an eyebrow: “Aren’t you afraid I’ll purify you together? I believe Archbishop Ellis won’t object.”
“He certainly agrees,” the Rose Lord smiled, mimicking Archbishop Ellis’s expression. “But I believe you wouldn’t sacrifice your friend for some minor gain… That’s the difference between you and me as a Demon Lord. I have no moral bottom line, but you do.”
Luo Mi scrutinized him for a while before saying, “Red Horn is much cuter than you.”
The Rose Lord laughed again: “I think so too.”
Luo Mi finally agreed to the vampire lord’s request— he never intended to kill the Rose Lord, but only to use this method to suppress the Rose Lord and make him behave.
Having received Luo Mi’s promise, Archbishop Ellis was suddenly enveloped in a layer of bloody light, which quickly condensed into a drop of blood, transforming into a bright red magic circle.
Archbishop Ellis paused for a moment, shook his head, and then stepped into the magic circle without hesitation.
A moment later, the blood-red light within the magic circle intensified and merged into his body.
Archbishop Ellis then unfurled a pair of enormous bat wings behind him.
Luo Mi gripped the Scepter of Glory, observing Archbishop Ellis for a long while before making a judgment in his mind: This blood magic seemed to be parasitic on the bloodline of the vampire descendants. It wouldn’t be too difficult to remove the Rose Lord while ensuring Archbishop Ellis’s safety; the trouble lay in the Rose Lord’s potential resistance…
In other words, as long as he could find a way to make the Rose Lord unconscious or unable to move, it was not impossible to solve the problem.
Of course, Luo Mi was just thinking about it.
Archbishop Ellis opened his eyes, gave Luo Mi a complicated look, and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Your Majesty, you should purify me and this filthy vampire together.”
A laugh echoed in his mind, from the vampire whose blood had now merged with his.
Luo Mi shook his head: “Our task now is to work together to survive the apocalypse— I need you to provide a portion of your primal power.”
The next sentence was addressed to the Rose Lord.
Archbishop Ellis had expected to be dominated by the Rose Lord again, but the other party only spoke in his head: “Tell Your Majesty, that’s simple, but why does Your Majesty suddenly want this? Do you want to use the Embrace method, or simply the condensation of power?”
After listening to Archbishop Ellis’s account, Luo Mi first gave a thumbs up to the Rose Lord for his understanding— not forcing Ellis to be his only worthy lord made him feel the Rose Lord’s respect— before saying, “Some personal reasons, as long as the power is condensed.”
He wasn’t afraid of the Rose Lord causing trouble during the Embrace, but he still couldn’t quite accept having someone other than Anos bite his neck.
The Rose Lord readily agreed, “Tell His Majesty to prepare a small bottle so I can extract some of my primordial blood.”
….
Luo Mi placed the palm-sized glass bottle filled with blood aside and said to Ellis, “You will stay in the Holy City for a while.”
Archbishop Ellis nodded silently and respectfully left the papal chamber.
As he walked down the corridor, he heard a voice in his head say with a smile, “My child, do me a favor.”
“I’m not your child,” Ellis replied coldly before asking, “What kind of help?”
“It’s simple, go visit His Holiness the Pope’s new mount.” The voice was unfazed and continued to laugh, “I heard that Red Horn’s horn was cut off, I’m going to go and mock him.”
Ellis narrowed his eyes slightly: “My records will be on Your Majesty’s desk, and you will not be able to achieve any of your despicable goals.”
The Rose Lord sighed, “How could us elegant and free-spirited vampires have such a rigid descendant as you… Don’t worry, even if I have some ulterior motive, I still need to survive the apocalypse. Otherwise, what can we do if everyone dies?”
Ellis sneered, “God’s mercy and glory shine upon the earth, and the innocent will enter paradise, but you demons can only wail and die in the holy light.”
The Rose Lord let out a cryptic laugh.
….
He had obtained all three portions of power used to strengthen his physique.
Luo Mi looked at the blood vial and the cleaned dragon scales in front of him, then he touched the succubus power still stored in his lower abdomen, pondered for a moment, closed the palace door, ordered the others not to enter, and then plucked one of his own feathers and burned it to ashes with the holy fire.
He then used the ashes to draw a magic circle.
A silvery-white phantom slowly appeared within the magic circle.
Luo Mi coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed as he recalled the absurd night before leaving the Demon Realm. Pretending it had never happened, he coughed again and looked at the shadow of the God’s Heart: “I have collected all three types of upgrade materials.”
The God’s Heart glanced at the dragon scales and blood vial in front of him, a hint of appreciation in its eyes: “Good.”
After uttering that word, the God’s Heart shut his mouth.
Yes, this Anos is a bit socially awkward… Luo Mi thought for a moment and decided to start the conversation himself.
But before he could speak, the God’s Heart suddenly asked, “Is anyone in the Vatican giving you trouble?”
Luo Mi was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the God’s Heart was also trying to overcome its social anxiety and speak up, so he smiled and said, “Of course not, I am the Pope, who would dare to make things difficult for me?”
God’s Heart’s lips curved slightly, and he said briefly, “Yes, we still need to be careful.”
Seeing that God’s Heart seemed to be trying to find a topic of conversation again, Luo Mi couldn’t help but chuckle: “I just happen to have something I wanted to ask you… After I get these three powers, should I just eat them?”
When the topic turned to business, the God’s Heart’s tone became more fluent: “Yes, but just in case, we can wait until he arrives in the Holy City and let him guide us.”
Luo Mi knew that “he” referred to the Blackwing Lord: “Where is he?”
“Losa City, on his way to the Holy City,” God’s Heart replied quickly. “You can wait a moment.”
Luo Mi casually asked, “What about the Holy Son?”
“He is still finishing his work, which will probably take at least another month.”
Before leaving the Demon Realm, both the Holy Son Anos and the Demon Anos told Luo Mi about their plans: the Demon Anos would enter the Light Realm to search for the Rose Lord’s whereabouts while “killing” the Chosen Ones, while the Holy Son Anos would clear the borders of the Demon Realm in preparation for the retrieval of the Eternal Fence.
After the Eternal Fence was reclaimed, the Light Domain Barrier would disappear. If preparations weren’t made in advance, a massive invasion of demons from the Demon Realm would inevitably cause significant casualties among civilians. Even without a lord currently in command of the Demon Realm, the roaming demons would still inflict considerable losses.
Luo Mi nodded: “I’ll have the Templar Knights and the Divine Magic Legion go to the border of the Light Domain to set up automated defense devices later.”
If Fang Zhou’s plan went smoothly, even the people from the Holy See would be pulled into the Ark. They could then only rely on the automatic defense mechanism to buy some time.
The God’s Heart nodded slightly.
Thinking of this, Luo Mi suddenly asked curiously, “Will demons also be pulled into the Ark?”
The God’s Heart tilted its head: “Those approved by the Chosen Ones will be allowed to do so; the rest depend on their lords— if their lords enter the Ark.”
Luo Mi considered the situation in his mind: there were no living demons in the territory of the Lone Shadow Lord, the territory of the Rose Lord had been completely wiped out by himself, the subordinates of the Zixiang Lord were all in her real dream, and the subordinates of the Black Wing Lord had also been arranged… only the territory of the Red Horn Lord remained.
According to the Vatican’s records, the territory of Lord Red Horn once had many wyverns and demon dragons, all hybrids created by Lord Red Horn with various strange demons. Like a failed product of alchemy, they were irrational and bizarre, and were quickly wiped out by Lord Red Horn himself.
Currently, there are only a few hybrid dragons that don’t resemble dragons in Lord Red Horn’s territory. I wonder if Lord Red Horn has any kinship ties. I can ask Anos how to deal with them later.
He chatted with God’s Heart for a while, but most of the time Luo Mi did the talking and God’s Heart listened.
God’s Heart tried a few times to come up with something, but Luo Mi just comforted him with a smile: “It’s okay, you can listen to me.”
A hint of complexity and unease lingered in God’s Heart’s gentle expression: “I thought you didn’t like people who were too quiet.”
“Ah, I have a rather outgoing personality, so I wouldn’t say I particularly like introverted people,” Luo Mi replied cheerfully. “But you are you, and I like you no matter what.”
The God’s Heart fell silent, then suddenly silver-white wings unfurled from his back, completely enveloping him, leaving only his two eyes visible.
Luo Mi was initially a little embarrassed, but seeing his reaction, he became more generous and teased him deliberately, “Are you shy? You’re shy already?”
The God’s Heart glanced at him, blinked, and said sullenly without refuting, “The magic is almost at its limit. Let’s talk next time.”
After saying that, the phantom disappeared.
Luo Mi laughed so hard he collapsed onto the papal throne.
….
Two days later, as Luo Mi was checking the progress of the Divine Magic Legion’s deployment, he suddenly felt his shadow move.
The demon Anos emerged from within, pounced on Luo Mi, and pulled him into his arms.
Luo Mi put down the documents: “You arrived so quickly?”
The demon Anos snorted softly, “It’s rare that no one else is bothering us.”
His hand inappropriately slipped inside Luo Mi’s clothes.
Luo Mi was startled: “This is the Papal Palace!”
The cardinals are outside!
The demon Anos licked his lips and casually cast a divine spell: “Sound isolation will do— didn’t you miss me?”
Luo Mi blushed and said, “I do want to, but it’s still daytime. Let’s talk about it after we finish our business… I’m planning to upgrade my physique… You wait—”
The demon Anos knew Luo Mi’s body well and quickly teased him until he couldn’t resist anymore, causing Luo Mi to turn his head weakly with a flushed face, abandoning his morals and intending to indulge in debauchery in broad daylight.
In the heat of passion, Luo Mi suddenly felt the other person stop.
He was in a dilemma, stuck here, scratching his head and feeling anxious. He had no choice but to open his eyes and meet a pair of silvery eyes.
Luo Mi was stunned: “The God’s Heart?”
He can even possess the body of the demon Anos?
God’s Heart wiggled his fingers, his gaze falling on Luo Mi’s open papal robe. He then paused for a while before asking somewhat embarrassedly, “What’s the next step?”
