Chapter 818: 533. The Pope Who Fell Gracefully_2
Hearing her dear sister's assertion, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Miss Nun and Pope Loli with increasingly curious eyes, wanting to hear their opinions.
Fortunately, the lifeless-eyed Noah was probably stimulated by the words "Genesis." A bit of brilliance finally returned to her eyes.
Yes, she hadn't lost everything yet. There was still "Genesis." She had a mission to complete. Now was not the time for despair. Those countless followers and believers behind her still needed her guidance.
Thinking of this, the light in Noah's eyes grew stronger. Although her spirit still seemed somewhat listless, she managed to steady herself again through a sense of duty, mission, and faith.
This behavior finally made Dorothy take a serious look at the Loli Pope and then nod slightly.
Being a family-oriented person herself, Dorothy could understand how devastating the blow Noah had just suffered was. Betrayal by a close relative is often the most painful. The Loli Pope could regain her composure so quickly, which indeed showed her resilience.
"You know 'Genesis' too?"
Noah frowned slightly, deliberately avoiding looking at her own teacher Eva's side, and instead turned her sharp eyes to the homebody witch, questioning her.
"Genesis" was something that Sophia had taught her. Why did the Prime Minister of the Magic Republic know about it?
Emmm...
Managing to climb to the Pope's position from being an illegitimate child and fighting with those hypocritical nobles for years, Noah was no fool. She vaguely sensed something.
But this suspicion made her pupils tremble violently; she could hardly believe it.
It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it? One person would hurt me twice?
Unfortunately, it was no coincidence. The world doesn't run according to the desires of mortals, and besides, Dorothy never lies.
So...
"Yes, of course, I know it. I have the original 'Genesis' right here."
The homebody witch nodded and extended her hand. A simple engineering hammer, engraved with countless golden characters, appeared in her grip.
"This is 'Genesis'."
She tossed the hammer slightly and said.
Noah: "....."
Eva: "....."
Not only was the Loli Pope silent, but even Miss Nun beside her, looking at her own daughter's hammer, didn't know what to say for a moment.
'Genesis' was a holy text, right? Shouldn't a holy text be a book? Even if a book had spikes, it should be more credible than a hammer.
The usually aloof Goddess of the Moon couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to retort.
And Noah...
Well, the Loli Pope, who had just recovered, seemed to have a malfunction in the tear gland system of her cybernetic body. She really cried. If it weren't for the Paladin's will, she might have just run away in tears.
This is just too cruel. It turns out you're not only Eva's daughter but also the one Sophia keeps worrying about?
At this moment, Noah truly felt like a clown. (Haha, the clown is right in front of you.)
Maybe she shouldn't be in the Noah's Ark cabin; she should be directly under the ship, right where the anchor is.
Enough, she was so jealous. Damn, it turned out the true master of the family she enjoyed was actually this hateful enemy in front of her?
Really, if it weren't for the poor system expressions of her cybernetic body, the Loli Pope's face would have been completely disfigured by now.
But still....
"Since you learned 'Genesis,' we are comrades, no matter what. Do you need help with your rebellion? I'm happy to contribute to the comrades' liberation cause."
Noah heard this hateful, envy-inducing fellow say.
She wanted to snort coldly and express her disdain. She didn't want this person's help.
But her body was honest.
"Yes."
So, she immediately accepted the hateful fellow's help.
Although her heart felt even worse after speaking.
Sigh, emotionally, she didn't want this fellow's help, but rationally, she couldn't refuse.
After all, feelings are feelings, and work is work. Her sense of responsibility wouldn't allow her to bring personal feelings into work.
As "Genesis" says, unite all forces that can be united, reduce enemies as much as possible, and increase friends as much as possible.
As someone who had just lost her family, Noah could refuse this hateful fellow's help. But as the rebel leader, she couldn't refuse the cooperation invitation of the true ruler of the Magic Republic.
She had to be responsible for her followers and the comrades' lives.
Though relying only on themselves, the upcoming revolution might succeed, comrades would suffer heavy casualties. The entrenched power of the nobility was no joke, despite their fewer numbers now.
The impending revolution was bound to be a brutal war, a fierce battle of blood and fire, where comrades would sacrifice their blood and lives for the great cause of liberation.
But with the support of the Magic Republic, the sacrifice of comrades could be minimized. They could achieve greater victory with fewer casualties.
So, damn it, she couldn't refuse the olive branch extended by the hateful fellow across from her.
"Damn it, my sense of responsibility, boohoo. What is this feeling when I desperately want to jump and kill this lucky enemy, but I have to swallow my pride, smile, and sincerely thank her for her help."
Noah was crying out in her heart. This feeling of unwilling heart but honest body made her extremely uncomfortable.
The evil of the demon's fall couldn't be worse.
Dorothy: "....."
Watching the Loli Pope, who was shedding tears but managed to present a flawless and genuinely sincere business smile looking at her, the homebody witch couldn't help but admit, Noah was really impressive.
She immediately regretted her words. She was ultimately an introverted person, not good at talking.
She could tell Noah really hated her, so her help might seem insulting. Even if she genuinely wanted to help,
But the Loli Pope managed to put aside personal grudges and switch to work mode instantly. What kind of spirit is this? Truly impressive.
After all, Dorothy admitted, even without magic cheating, she might not achieve this.
For upper-level people, sentimentality is absolutely forbidden. History is full of leaders whose stubbornness led to downfall. The ability to separate emotions from duty distinguishes the supreme.
And the key point is, Noah climbed from the bottom. She came from the people and remains connected to the people.
Isn't this the leader who could perfectly empathize with the broadest masses I always wanted?
Damn, why is the talent I need on the enemy's side? I must find a way to win her over.
In this moment, it seemed horns sprouted on the homebody witch's head.
"Maybe we could have a good chat about 'Genesis,' would you mind having another teacher?"
Dorothy said, eyes burning.
Noah: "....."
She wanted to say no, but her body wouldn't listen, and her resolve was crystallized by "Genesis." Thus, she couldn't refuse "Genesis" guidance.
So...
"With great pleasure."
...Noah is falling...
