Chapter 534

"Do you see that? What your missionaries are doing. "

The emotionless voice rang in Nicholas the Fifth's heart. He shuddered and shouted, "Master Magus! That's just a shadow under the sun! I can take care of them! I have the power to stop this, and I can guarantee that it will never happen again! "

The scene on the screen was shocking. The missionaries' actions were completely contrary to the values of mortals. Some of their actions could even be said to be outrageous. He thought that the Magus was angry because of this.

Suddenly, the scepter that symbolized divine and imperial authority disappeared from his hand. He had no idea how the mage had taken it away. He realized that the power that he had been so proud of and faintly regarded as a bargaining chip for his safety had become worthless.

"The external core of a belief system from another plane. Do you know what this thing represents?"

Nicholas the Fifth's mind spun quickly. He thought about the Magus's purpose and how he should answer.

After a while, he said, "It represents order and stability. If the divine path is promoted in the Academy, mortals will live according to the Magus's rules. They will not have any other thoughts. Isn't this what the Magus wants the most? "He suddenly remembered that he was not facing his subordinates. He quickly changed his words." This way, the Magus's will can be carried out perfectly. "

Above him, where he could not see or hear, the Magus was passing the scepter around.

Wendy said, "This is a very advanced belief system, much more advanced than what we have discovered before. It has absolute control over its believers. I can imagine that in that world, all the mortals have no freedom except to mate to produce more believers and pray to the high gods to provide power."

Avril continued, "It will completely destroy the self-awareness of ordinary people, turning them into walking corpses. This system is like a precision machine, where every unit is a component. Everything is done under the control of the core, serving the core. It is absolutely selfish."

Her eyes were filled with killing intent. The Magus's world would not allow such a thing to spread. Everyone related to it must die.

Ophelia didn't have the right to sit here. She looked at the scepter with fear. She thought about the situation of the believers in the Johnson family's territory and said hesitantly, "I think it's very dangerous. After becoming a believer, they will lose their ability to think. Which means …"

Adam said, "Their ability to think has been erased. Their intelligence has been erased. This means that these people will never be able to step onto the path of Sorcerers. This is digging up the foundation of the Sorcerers' world."

Nicholas the Fifth waited for a while, but did not hear any reply from the mages. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to say, "I'm willing to hand over the scepter to the mages. The scepter represented the control of all the mortals under the Empire. As long as it was present, the mortals would not resist the orders of the owner. I'm willing to be the spokesperson for the Lords and do things that the Lords disdain to do. I promise … "

At this time, the room lit up. Nicholas the Fifth saw the few mages sitting at the top. He also saw Adam, who was deeply remembered by all the forces.

"That sounds pretty good. Unfortunately, you've made a mistake. You've also done some things wrong," Adam said.

The ominous feeling in Nicholas the Fifth's heart grew stronger, but he did not think that he would die. There were too many people who practiced the Path of Godhood. If he died because of this, the remaining people would not be able to continue living. He did not believe that the mages would dare to give such an order. It was the lives of hundreds of millions of people. He was most afraid of his rights being taken away. "No matter what, I can change, Lord Adam. I can …"

Until now, he still felt that he was very important. However, he did not know that everything he relied on and the fear he thought was not worth mentioning in the mages' hearts.

"It's too late. Some mistakes can't be corrected. Once you commit them, you will die." Adam casually mentioned the result of his judgment on Nicholas the Fifth. Although the all-out mortal war ended very quickly because of Nicholas the Fifth and the existence of the Path of Godhood, and the deep-rooted conflicts for three hundred years were resolved in one day, these merits could not make up for the mistakes he had made.

Avril, who could not hold back any longer, personally attacked and turned him into ashes. Then, she took the scepter, nodded at Adam, and left the room. She was going to take the Guardian Sequence and control the law enforcement robots to kill all the people who practiced the Path of Godhood.

Ophelia still did not understand Adam's purpose of keeping her. She said somewhat uneasily, "Lord Adam, I think the Johnson Family …"

"I'm going to implement a parliamentary system in the Academy Mainland. I think the Johnson Family is qualified to be the head of the Senate."

This was the most suitable management method for the Academy Mainland that Adam had come up with after thinking about it. This parliament was not the Mage Parliament. Instead, it was completely decided and elected by the mortals. Adam referred to the upper and lower parliaments of a certain country on Earth and decided to establish an upper parliament in the Academy Mainland that was mainly made up of old nobles and mage apprentices, and a lower parliament that was mainly made up of ordinary graduates.

The upper parliament's symbolic meaning was greater than its actual power. The seats were fixed and could directly talk to the mages and convey the mages' will. The lower parliament's members were elected by all the legal voters who had contracted personal chips in the cities. There was no upper limit to the number of seats, and they would exist as the direct administrators of the Academy Mainland.

This method was the best way to reconcile some of the differences between them and limit the competition of interests to a set range. It would allow ordinary graduates to have a channel to rise, and also allow the old nobles and mage apprentices to obtain a more honorable position.

Ophelia was relieved after hearing this. What she was most worried about was that Adam would push the Johnson Family out to become the 'emperor'.

The Johnson Family did not have a deep foundation and did not have the ability to rule the world. Based on what happened before, it could be inferred that the Academy Department, or in other words, Adam, simply let the ordinary people do whatever they wanted. It would be best if there was a winner and loser between them, and then the mages would make the final decision.

If that was the case, the Johnson Family could be said to be doomed.

However, if it was just a seat in the Senate, there was almost no danger. Instead, it was the best opportunity for the family to rise.

"Thank you for your affirmation. I represent the Johnson Family and accept your orders."

Adam nodded with a smile and said, "This is for the best. However, you have to know that opportunities always coexist with risks. Other families have also produced mages, and yes, some corporations have also reached out. I will not interfere too much in these matters. You and your family will have to reconcile yourselves."
