"Don't worry! To such a big shot, small characters like us are not taken seriously at all. As long as we behave ourselves, surviving will not be a big problem."
There is no doubt that in Mai Ye Shenli's opinion, Li Xuan is relatively easy to talk to. Even if it was Emperor Huangen who attacked Li Xuan, it would not be difficult for him to survive if he did not seek death.
With Mai Ye Shenli's assurance, the others did not dare to move and entered the dessert shop together. Then they saw the tragic death of Emperor Huangen.
However, Yukai Ayami and the others had no intention of avenging their leader. The Anbu members had always used each other, not to mention that the arrogant Emperor Huangen still implemented a high-pressure rule.
However, Yukai Ayami felt a little helpless. Although she didn't like Huangen Teito, his powerful strength was the reason why the school could stand out among the Anbu. If Huangen Teito died, the school would be no different from other Anbu.
"Why did you ask them to come in?"
Shokuhou Misaki was a little curious. These two Anbu were just pawns used by the chairman to test Li Xuan's existence. Why did Li Xuan ask them to come in?
"They've been exposed to secrets they shouldn't have been. If they return like this, they'll definitely be dealt with by that guy Aleister. So I'm going to hand them over to you. That way, at least they can survive. And your talent workshop is in need of people, isn't it?"
There was no doubt that if these two Anbu troops returned like this, they would be dealt with by the cautious Aleister from top to bottom. Since this was related to Li Xuan, who was 177 suspected to be beyond the existence of the Demon God, he had to block the relevant information as much as possible.
"But aren't these two ANBU controlled by the Academy City high-ups?"
"Of course that's not a problem. Do you think I'm right, Aleister?"
"Of course, your will!"
Aleister, clad in green scrubs and sporting long silver hair, appeared before everyone. He resembled both male and female, adult and child, saint and prisoner—this was everyone's first impression. But this wasn't an illusion. Aleister, possessing billions of possibilities within him, was a paradoxical being.
"ANBU tools and school, from now on you are under the command of the Fifth."
As Aleister's voice sounded, notifications of authority transfer also came to Maizono Shiori and the others' mobile phones. From now on, the authority of these two Anbu teams has been transferred to Saigo's studio.
"Yes!"
Mai Ye Shen Li and the others didn't dare refuse Aleister's order, nor did they have the right to do so. Furthermore, they didn't want to refuse. After all, Li Xuan had said that if they didn't do so, the chairman would inevitably silence them. Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to agree, even Mai Ye Shen Li.
Chapter 697: Aleister the Witty
After Emperor Huangen risked his life to detect Li Xuan's existence, Aleister did not dare to be careless. This was the first time since the establishment of Academy City that he stepped out of the life support system.
For the past few decades, Aleister has been hiding in a life support device, leaving all his life activities to be performed by machines. His entire body, including his brain, is in a hibernating state, and most of his thinking is assisted by machines.
The reason for doing this was not because of the old injuries on his body. With his magical attainments, after being rescued by the Underworld Soul Chaser and regaining consciousness, the injuries were no longer a problem.
The fundamental reason why Aleister did this was to prevent the leakage of vitality and avoid being hunted down by the magic world.
However, now that no one has touched the key to his plan, Imagine Breaker, Aleister has chosen to leave the life support device. This is a very high risk for Aleister.
If his existence was discovered by the magical side, then his decades of carefully designed plans would be in vain.
Yet, he had to come. This was the first time Aleister had encountered and come into contact with a being beyond the reach of a demon god.
As a magician who is just one step away from becoming a demon god, Aleister is well aware of the demon god's power and terror. However, what kind of power a being beyond the demon god possesses is beyond Aleister's imagination.
However, there is one thing that Aleister knows. No matter how powerful the demon god is, no matter how sophisticated Aleister's plans are, after Li Xuan appears, everything is nothing. Only Li Xuan's will can decide everything.
Therefore, even at the risk of being discovered by the magic side, Aleister must know Li Xuan's opinion, which is of vital importance to him.
Aleister did not expect Li Xuan to stand on his side. As long as Li Xuan remained neutral, Aleister would be very happy.
And if Li Xuan objected, then Aleister could only helplessly accept the fate's trick. When he was only one step away from success, fate gave him an inevitable failure.
However, this was the most pessimistic possibility. In fact, judging from Li Xuan's willingness to be discovered by him, Li Xuan was not holding good intentions, but at least had a neutral attitude.
Therefore, it is absolutely the best thing that just one or two Anbu can win Li Xuan's favor.
It is even said that Aleister is willing to exchange the entire Academy City for Li Xuan's neutrality, as long as the most important Imagine Killer can be left behind.
"Hey! You're quite sensible. Aleister, tell me now! Why did you come to see me?"
Li Xuan was not surprised by Aleister's attitude. As a smart man, he should have known what to do when he saw him.
Indeed, only after seeing Li Xuan with his own eyes could Aleister understand how terrifying he was. Aside from seeing with his naked eyes, he couldn't sense Li Xuan's presence in any other way. Even though Li Xuan was right in front of him, as long as he closed his eyes, he couldn't sense his presence at all.
Aleister assured him that a demon god definitely didn't possess such power. If a demon god was that powerful, then Aleister wouldn't bother trying to kill him. He could just lie there and die.
"Can you sense that?"
Although he knew that his communication with Aiwass might be known by Li Xuan, Aleister still had to confirm that his biggest trump card could sense Li Xuan's existence. If he could, it would mean that Li Xuan was at most a more powerful demon god, not an unreachable existence. If not, then he would abandon all ideas and obey Li Xuan's orders.
"cannot!"
Aiwass, who always viewed everything with a playful attitude, became serious. As an angel representing the laws of physics, she possessed the power to destroy the world with a flick of a finger, yet she acted solely on her own interests and whims. Even if humanity were destroyed and the world vanished without a trace, Aiwass would remain unfazed.
However, when facing Li Xuan, Aiwass could no longer maintain her usual amusing attitude. She found that the world she saw was no different from Aleister and ordinary people.
To the naked eye, Li Xuan existed there, but without the observation of the naked eye, Aiwas had no way to sense Li Xuan's existence.
Even the Demon God couldn't do this kind of thing. Aiwass had this confidence. As Aleister's ultimate weapon to fight against the Demon God, even Imagine Breaker was just a tool Aleister used to bring Aiwass into the world.
"There's none?"
Aleister looked up at Li Xuan, his gaze fixed on the seemingly empty back of him. It was obvious that even Aiwass, who was hiding in an unknown dimension, could not hide from his eyes, and it was very likely that his conversation with Aiwass was heard by him.
However, Aleister was not too worried about this. Since Li Xuan was willing to talk to a small figure like him, there must be a place where he could be used, so there was no need to worry about being suddenly wiped out by Li Xuan.
"I wish to know your stance on the relationship between me and the Demon God."
Now that Li Xuan's identity was confirmed, Aleister no longer hid anything and stated his purpose directly.
"Oh! You still have the Demon God? To me, it doesn't matter whether it's you or the Demon God. I don't care about profit."
After receiving Li Xuan's reply, Aleister couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For him, as long as Li Xuan could remain neutral, it would be a good thing.
"So, I wonder why you came to Academy City? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh! It's very simple. To put it in terms you can understand, the fifth Shokuhou Misaki has joined the magic society I lead, so I just came to meet the newcomer and help her solve some minor problems."
Li Xuan's words were very clear. He came to help Shokuhou Misaki solve her troubles, and now if Aleister didn't know what was good for him, then he would be the problem.
"Please rest assured. I will handle all issues related to the Fifth Person."
Since Li Xuan said so, what else could Aleister do? Of course he had to do it.
For this reason, even though the artificial heaven project, which had little to do with the fifth person, Aleister was planning to change it. Although the third person's clone was useless, didn't he still have the second person here? The Misaka Network was impossible, but the Unreal Material Network was not impossible.
Aleister's plans all have various backup plans, so even if one fails, there is always a backup plan.
As for the training methods for Imagine Breaker and Accelerator, other methods could also be used. Although it would be a bit more troublesome, being able to keep Li Xuan in a neutral position would be a huge profit.
Chapter 698: Aleister's Past
"Well, that's good. Take this information then! Consider it a reward for your tact."
What Li Xuan gave was nothing but the entire future of the New and Old Testaments of this world. Even after he came to this world, the future had already changed dramatically.
But this possible future was also extremely valuable to Aleister. The information contained within was far greater than what Aleister had paid for. For example, the information regarding the true identity of his current partner, Archbishop Laura Stewart of the English Puritan Church, was far more valuable than what he had to pay for.
Putting aside other things, what he had paid for was just a few esper beings, a small portion of Academy City's authority, and at most some modifications to the plan, but in return he gained intelligence about the Demon God and the Great Demon Ryu. This deal was simply too good to be true.
Aleister Crowley had never imagined that the great demon that his own disciple had banished was still alive. Even more surprising was that she wasn't summoned by him by accident, but rather summoned by McQueen Mathers to deal with him.
An old grudge from over a hundred years ago was still haunting him. No wonder the magicians of the British Puritan Church suddenly mobilized all their forces to ambush him decades ago. Otherwise, how could Aleister, with his disciples all over the world, be forced into a desperate situation so easily?
Before today, Aleister had never understood why the English Puritans suddenly attacked him, resulting in a mutually devastating battle. However, now Aleister knew that Coronzon must be behind this.
Later, she took advantage of the fact that the English Puritan Church and Aleister were fighting and all their elite troops were lost, and took the entire English Puritan Church into her hands.
It can be said that apart from the accidental intervention of the Underworld Chaser and the failure to eliminate Aleister, the plan of the Great Demon Coronzon was already perfect enough.
McQueen Mathers! This guy is already dead, but he's still haunting us. What a troublesome guy.
Although the great demon Coronzon has been targeting him, Aleister has no likes or dislikes towards her. After all, she is just a tool, a tool for Mathers to take revenge on him.
Getting angry at a tool would be too boring. Aleister hadn't expected Mathers to have this trick up his sleeve to get back at him.
Was this his revenge for destroying the entire Golden Dawn? Even if that were the case, Aleister would not regret causing unrest within the Golden Dawn and then defeating them one by one.
Ever since his teacher, Alan Bennett, foresaw through divination that Aleister's future daughter would inevitably die young, Aleister resolved to destroy everything in Gold, extinguish all magic, shatter every phase, and put an end to the mysteries. He sought to reclaim from the gods the innocent world that everyone rightly resented and doubted.
However, the Great Demon Coronzon is indeed very troublesome. His biggest trump card, Aiwass, must be used to deal with the demon, so he now has no cards in his hand that can deal with the Great Demon Coronzon.
But it doesn't matter. For a magician of his level, as long as he is prepared in advance, it may be difficult to completely kill the great demon Coronzon, but it is not a big problem to destroy her body and drive her away from this world.
Mathers himself was defeated by his own hands, let alone a mere tool.
"Thank you very much for your reward. I will take my leave now."
After receiving so much information, Aleister could no longer sit still. Since he had already reached an agreement with Li Xuan, he went back to revise his plan. The most crucial thing was to design a grand ceremony to completely expel the great demon Coronzon.
"What did you give him? Why is the chairman leaving in such a hurry?"
Shokuhou Misaki was very curious about what Aleister had gotten from Li Xuan that made him leave in such a hurry.
"It's simple, just some future possibilities, the ones you know."
"Is this really a good idea? Telling the chairman about the future? Aren't you afraid of what he might do?"
Shokuhou Misaki was puzzled. Li Xuan clearly didn't seem to be very optimistic about Aleister, so why did he give him so much information? Shokuhou Misaki didn't like Aleister very much. After all, he was behind many of the dark plans within Academy City.
"What else? After all, Aleister is the current leader of the science side. If he doesn't step up, then who will? Are you willing to be the queen of the science side and deal with the various religions and magic societies on the magic side?"
"Although there is a great deal of darkness within Academy City, the scientific side is already quite advanced and civilized compared to the magical side. Honestly, if Aleister hadn't stepped forward and established the scientific camp, the world's scientific and technological progress wouldn't have been so rapid. It would have been suppressed and destroyed by the magical side long ago, just like in the Middle Ages."
Li Xuan was speechless. Shokuhou Misaki had clearly seen how the future would develop, so why was she still so naive?
Yes, the darkness inside Academy City is quite terrifying, but compared to the magical side that has developed over the years, it is still nothing.
In the face of such a powerful magical side, if it weren't for the betrayal of Aleister, the top magician, and the founding of the scientific camp, it would be a dream to expect science and technology to truly develop. Is the power of the magical side fake?
You have to know that even now, the power of the magic side is far greater than that of the science side. If it weren't for the internal division, even with Aleister leading the way, Academy City would have been destroyed long ago.
Although we have entered modern society, most of the countries in the world of A Certain Magical Index are still dominated by their own magical forces, and there is no possibility for the scientific side to take the lead.
"Forget it then! It's best to leave this important task to the chairman."
Shokuhou Misaki shook her head frantically. Although she was known as the Queen of Tokiwadai, she was very self-aware. The responsibility of leading the scientific side was not something she could shoulder. Not to mention fighting against the magical side and deciding the future of the world.
Aleister's insidiousness and cunning immediately became shrewdness in Shokuhou Misaki's eyes. Only such a guy could lead the scientific side to victory in the competition with the magical side.
Now Shokuhou Misaki understood why Li Xuan had told Aleister about the possible future. After all, her joining the chat group would have a significant impact on the future. To ensure Aleister's ultimate victory, Li Xuan's assistance was necessary.
Chapter 699: Shokuhou Misaki's Request
"Is the chairman capable? Can he handle it? Otherwise, group leader, please give him some more help."
After Li Xuan said this, Shokuhou Misaki now remembered the future situation. The three major branches of Christianity were hostile to the scientific side, especially Academy City, and there were magic societies spread across European countries. If Aleister was gone, the Right Seat of God of the Roman Orthodox Church would be enough to plow through Academy City several times.
Shokuhou Misaki had no doubt about the magic side's determination to destroy the science side, nor did she doubt their immense power. She didn't want society to regress to the Middle Ages. While that might be an exaggeration, if the magic side truly triumphed, the suppression of science would be inevitable.
So now Shokuhou Misaki is a little worried about what would happen if Aleister lost. That would be a big trouble.
"Don't worry. If Aleister can't defeat the magic side after getting this information, then he's underestimating him!"
Li Xuan was not too worried about this. As the most powerful and outstanding magician in the modern history of magic, Aleister knew too well how to deal with the magic side. Now there was a future world line given by him. With both intention and negligence, victory was inevitable.
"Okay! Since you, the group leader, have said so, I don't have to worry anymore."
"Yeah, that's it. From now on, as long as you don't get in touch with those two, Aleister won't care what you do in Academy City."
"Ok!"
Of course, Shokuhou Misaki knew which two people Li Xuan was talking about, Accelerator and Imagine Breaker. As long as they didn't affect the two people at the core of Aleister's plan, Aleister didn't care about any other psychics or directors.
"Now, you should understand your situation!"
Li Xuan turned his head to look at the few people who had been huddled in the corner since Aleister appeared.
"clear!!!!!"
I understand! Of course I understand! How could I not understand? I know so much confidential information, even though there are many terms I don't understand. But now that the chairman, who has never appeared in public, has appeared, I know how important this information is. Being killed to silence him is also a normal thing.
"I won't be unable to leave this dessert shop!"
The timid Franda murmured to herself. She had been working in the Anbu for so long and had seen too many cases where people were silenced after coming into contact with things they shouldn't have. Although Maito was a person with super powers, if it involved a big shot like the chairman, she might also be silenced. Even if she could survive, what about ordinary Anbu members like herself?
"Frenda!"
"idiot!"
"What are you talking about!"
When the others heard what Franda said, their faces suddenly changed and they looked at her with gritted teeth.
You should just keep these words in your heart, why say them out loud! Isn't that hurtful? What if the other party originally had no intention of killing to silence the witness, but now wants to silence him after hearing these words?
