"How are you, pope? It's been a while!"
Looking at the screen above their heads, the races of Elias could help but be surprised how someone who was about to face death could still have such a large smile on his face
"Almeron! You are hereby convicted for crimes against the world, instigating chaos, and blaspheming against my lord"
"You who tried to usurp the power from the almighty gods of Elias and wreak havoc upon the world shall now be purified!"
"If you have anything to say, say it now, if not forever hold your words!" Shouted the Pope
Seeing Almeron trying to be familiar with him, the pope promptly ignored it, although the church of light had spent several hundred if not thousands of years trying to capture him, now that he achieved what his predecessors couldn't achieve he couldn't help but feel slightly complacent
*However, we still need to implement the next step of the plan!*
*Haha, maybe if the lord is pleased he can allow me to ascend to his kingdom of God and live forever as a holy spirit!*
Thinking of completing the plan, the pope couldn't help but imagine the rewards his lord the God of light would give him upon completion
According to the plan he and other cardinals at the church came up with, once Almeron was brought up to the stage, all his charges would be first displayed onto the audience, completely painting him black.
Afterward, he would be allowed to say his last words thinking that he would beg for forgiveness knowing his death was near, thus showing the church powerful deterrence and prestige
Unfinished things don't always go according to plan
Kneeling on the stage with cuffs attached to both legs and hands Almeron still hand a smile on his face
Hearing he was asked to give his last words, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter
"Haha, Pope you're right I do have some last words!"
Hearing Almeron say that the pope already felt his plan was going to be a success, unfortunately what happened next was something he never expected
Turning to look at one of the two executioners beside him Almeron suddenly spoke
"Hey executioner buddy, my hands are kinda chaffed, could you remove the locks? I promise I wouldn't run anywhere"
Unfortunately, the two of them ignored him and kept standing with a straight face
"Tch… as expected of you church people, none of you know how to take a joke"
Seeing their reaction so bland Almeron suddenly felt a little disappointed
"Almeron! Stop joking around, if you have nothing to say then I'll order your death right now!"
Seeing him still all so playful the pope couldn't help but start feeling impatient
"Haha calm down I'm only joking, however I'll say my last words for real this time!"
Seeing the pope losing his patience, Almerons face gradually became serious
Facing the crowd directly, his eyes seem to pierce everyone's heart directly.
"Haha residents of Elias, as you may have heard, I am Almeron the most Evil man in the world!"
Looking at the figure kneel on stage, everyone watching both in town and around Elias felt great pride and majesty in his tone completely different from before
"Latet my old friend, do an old man a favour and help him out one last time"
With his head towards the sky, Almeron seems to be talking to an invisible figure
While some were confused, those in freedom town and the Gods watching knew who he was referring to when he said Latet
And the pope hearing him suddenly call out a different Gods name had a bad feeling
Sure enough, before he could react a low sigh was suddenly heard throughout the town
"Sigh~"
"Human, you're going to put me in a lot of trouble for this, however since I owe you one I'll help you out"
"And don't need to say anything, remember I'm a God I can already read your mind"
Hearing this voice all those who weren't sure before Immediately confirmed their conjectures, it was definitely their guardian God latet the God of lies
And as if to confirm their thoughts, a familiar Golden figure suddenly appeared floating in air
Seeing this happen, the pope already realised that things were not good
"Latet! What are you doing here! Do you plan on going against His Majesty the God of light!"
Shouted the pope trying to dissuade him from interfering in the execution
Unfortunately his actions only made matters worse as Latet suddenly turned to look in his direction
"Humph!"
"How dare you ant call my name directly! If it wasn't for his sake I would definitely crush you to pieces and burn your soul on the spot!"
With a light snort as Latet spoke, boundless pressure suddenly descended on the pope, almost immediately the most high pope Immediately fell onto his knees under everyone's gaze
"Damn it!"
Clenching his teeth the pope couldn't help but feel humiliated unfortunately after the first glance Latet didn't pay attention to him
"Almeron! I'll set a barrier around this place, so even if the God of light himself wants to intervene he'll have to at least spend a few minutes cracking it"
"You have to hurry up and do what you want to do within that time, and don't worry about your little apprentice, I'll send him and his little buddies somewhere safe!"
Turning to look towards Almeron, Latet spoke directly in his mind
"Haha Latet I knew I could always count on you, however didn't I tell you never to read the old man's mind! Could it be that you want to fight!'
Hearing Latet's voice in his head, Almeron suddenly showed a relaxed expression knowing the last piece of his plan had finally taken place
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Idiot! All you ever do is think about fighting"
"I'm about to go now, are you sure you don't want me to take you out of here? I'm sure the God of light would never find or it would at least take hundreds of years before he does!"
Looking at the only mortal who had been his friend for hundreds of years, Latet suddenly felt reluctant
"Haha don't worry about me Latet, this is my destiny, and who knows if everything works out well, I wouldn't really die"
As if death wasn't a big deal, Almeron quickly dismissed Latet's attempt to save him
And Latet seeing it was no use, under everyone's shocked gaze, he left as quickly as he came however this time taking Elric and the rest as well as Sebastian hidden in the crowd away
Seeing this, Almeron had a relieved smile on his face. At this time only he and the crowd remain facing each other as the pope and the executioners were currently unable to move due to Latet's remnant coercion
Noticing this, Almeron took a deep breath and took his last smile before his death, and said something that changed the pattern of Elias forever
"People of Elias, are you ready to know the truth!"
