A strange light flashed in Ascalon's eyes, ready to test the doctor's attitude first.

Chapter 2: Kel'tsit's Despair
Longmen Suburbs.
A black market hotel.
"That's enough! Don't let Ace come to me again. I've told you countless times that the Eighth Duke of Victoria will come to rescue us. The noble Victorian nobles will never break their promise to us!"
Hong was slapped out of the room by Kal'tsit, even though she was Kal'tsit's most loyal servant.
As a former elder of the Tower of Babel and the ruler of Rhodes Island, he is now staying in a "private room" full of cobwebs. Among the immortals on Terra for thousands of years, Kal'tsit can be said to be the most aggrieved. Of course, Kal'tsit is the only immortal on Terra. Kal'tsit's lifespan is equivalent to Terra's civilization, even if he has achieved nothing.
After the defeat of the Rhodes Island Military Control, they hid in this hotel. The Central Control of Rhodes Island had the assistance of "monsters" such as Rosemary. It was inevitable that the Rhodes Island Military Control would be defeated. The Eight Dukes of Victoria did not show up as expected, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Rhodes Island Military Control. Didn't Kal'tsit promise the Eight Dukes of Victoria?
Ace and the others gritted their teeth and directly asked Kal'tsit whether the Eighth Duke of Victoria would come. If not, they might kill Kal'tsit. Without Rhodes Island, the Military Control Commission of Rhodes Island would be a group of rats crossing the street. No, they were no longer the Military Control Commission of Rhodes Island. Even rats looked down on traitors like them.
Kal'tsit, as it turned out, was being closely guarded by Ace and the others. Even if the eight Dukes of Victoria hadn't come, they would have "sold" Kal'tsit to another faction. If they could betray Rhodes Island, why couldn't they betray Kal'tsit? Incidentally, many factions on Terra were also interested in Kal'tsit's physique. Having lived for ten thousand years without dying, who wouldn't want to dissect Kal'tsit and study the secret of immortality?
"You're a bunch of rubbish, a bunch of rubbish, a bunch of rubbish... Why didn't you obey my orders and acted on your own? You should have just followed my orders and killed that man. Why are you putting all the blame on me?"
Kal'tsit paced back and forth in the room with her hands on her head, her emotions out of control.
Kal'tsit didn't expect that the Eighth Duke of Victoria really didn't come as agreed. Now, everything is over. How can she explain to Ace and others? Ace and others will not let her go!
To this day, Kal'tsit still can't understand how she lost. She had clearly planned everything. The man resigned, and operators like Scout who were close to him were also eliminated by her. She only had to wait for the opportunity to defeat the Regent.
Yes, she lost to that man militarily!
Ace and the others were quite useful, so how could she possibly lose?! Kal'tsit felt much better when she thought about it. It was Ace and the others who held her back.
If she thought about it carefully, she realized that the Doctor lost to her in "politics", otherwise how could she have successfully expelled the Doctor? If the initial pursuit of Rhodes Island had been successful, if Rhodes Island had won on the battlefield, wouldn't all this be as she wished? It was just that her men were useless. She had already forced that man into a desperate situation!
"But what should I do next? Should I run away? Where can I escape to if I lose Rhodes Island? One day I will be caught by that man, and that man will not let me go."
"Yan Country is a good place to go, but it's a pity that it will be conquered by evil sooner or later... I can't live a secluded life anymore. Princess Theresa is still waiting for my revenge..."
"I can first eliminate Ace and the others and regain my freedom, but then no one will follow me, which will lower my "value". Ace and the others are veterans of Babel after all, and they have no choice but to follow me."
After Kal'tsit calmed down, she sat in a chair and began to think. It was rare that she had no plans.
She didn't want to join other forces like a slave, as she would definitely be exploited to death by those forces. Kal'tsit simply despised the stupidity of the eight Dukes of Victoria. If she gave up on her, wouldn't she be giving up the best "brain trust" to deal with the Doctor?
Kal'tsit never regretted her revenge on that man. Initially, she even gave him a good ending, promising him the right to live with Amiya in the future. But look at what he did? He betrayed her kindness. She was so merciful that she didn't kill him in the beginning, and yet he came looking for her "revenge"!
So what should she do next? How should she attack back to Rhodes Island?
That man developed ancient military technology, which was beyond Kal'tsit's expectations. Rhodes Island was obviously not strong enough to defeat that man. Rhodes Island's Central Bureau attacked her, believing that she could fight against the doctor on her own, and would only die more miserably than those cannon fodder!
She has to "save" Amiya. Yes, Amiya was deceived by Rhodes Island's Central Intelligence Agency and the doctor. Can she forgive Amiya? Amiya is still young and ignorant... Can Amiya really tolerate the doctor's cooperation with the Sarkaz Military Committee? Don't forget that Theresa died because of the regent.
Idiot, that man is also an incurable idiot!
Without her, could that man stop Regent Tracy's plot? That man and Regent Tracy had become one and the same. Could it be that that man and the Regent were planning to challenge the entire Terra?!
Her goal was absolutely correct. The Sarkaz had no hope under the Regent's leadership. There were too few of them, and Kazdel's overall strength wasn't the strongest on Terra. It was just that the Regent was taking a gamble, refusing to live under someone else's roof. Wouldn't it be good for the Sarkaz to lose their dignity and gain the right to live? Better than death!
—Dongdong.
There was a knock on the door.
"I told you, Hong, don't come looking for me. How many times do you want me to tell you that I don't want to see anyone!"
Kal'tsit roared furiously, not even thinking that it was Red knocking on her door again. Why were her subordinates either a useless person like Ace or a "brainless" person like Red? She had spent a lot of money to buy Red from her grandmother!
Wow.
However, before Kal'tsit could get up, a blue-haired girl holding a staff opened the door.
The blue-haired girl saw Kal'tsit with her azure eyes and curled up the corners of her lips slightly. At the same time, Kal'tsit widened her eyes in joy. She knew that the time for a comeback had come.
Even if Lungmen could be an ally of the Reunion Movement, the many forces on Terra would not ally with the Reunion Movement. The reason for this is only one thing: the Doctor's physical condition has shaken the fragile international order. The interests of many people are closely related to the Doctor, so it is impossible for them not to care about the Doctor.
Then, among this power, who is the biggest beneficiary, and who is least willing to witness the rise of the Doctor, and who would rather the Doctor not appear on Terra?
"Dr. Kelsey, long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
The blue-haired girl smiled and looked at Kal'tsit with a playful look on her face as she looked delighted.
It's the messenger from Lateran—Mastema!
……
Chapter 3: The Doctor's "Death"
Rutland.
As an immortal who has lived for ten thousand years, Kal'tsit also knows some secrets.
The behavior of the Lateran people is strictly bound by the "law", which is the will of the Lateran god. However, the Lateran god does not seem to be a real God. It is just a computer with its own consciousness.
Terra has real gods. Kjerag's gods can control ice and snow, Yan Nation's gods can shake the earth, but no one has ever seen Lateran's gods actually take action. The only time was when the Sarkaz and Lateran had a territorial dispute. When Lateran was defeated and the Sarkaz were at the gates of the city, Lateran's gods summoned "natural disasters" to crush the Sarkaz's attack. Yes, it was exactly the same scene as the Reunion launching rockets.
The Lateran Church also has its own views on Originium disease. The people of Lateran preach that Originium disease is a kind of suffering that God has given to mortals to temper them. Poverty, famine, war, discrimination and so on are all such things. Those who believe in God can be saved, and those who do not believe in God are heretics. Oh, by the way, the believers of Lateran also have an obligation that they must fulfill, and that is to "donate" to the Lateran Church!
Countless Terran civilians would sell their homes and houses to demonstrate their faith in the Lateran God, just to be awarded a recognized honor by the Lateran Church - the "God Ticket". Even though this ticket is no longer popular in advanced countries such as Lateran, Victoria, and Lethania, it is available everywhere in remote countries such as Iberia and Sargon, especially Iberia. The ocean disaster is about to come, but the Iberians still believe in God.
But has the Lateran truly helped the Lateran faithful? No, aside from the local Lateran faithful, the Lateran never has. The Iberians faced a threat from the sea, and the Lateran turned a blind eye. The Yan people faced a demonic disaster, and the Lateran also turned a blind eye. Not to mention Pope Evangelista XI's attempt to convene a universal conference to enhance the Lateran's international status. Only a fool would believe that! Would you, the Lateran, be willing to donate even a little bit of supplies!?
The most selfish race on Terra is the Sakota... Kal'tsit firmly believes it.
It was precisely because of this belief that Kal'tsit was happy. The Sakota people were not fools like the eight Dukes of Victoria, and they understood the threat posed by the Doctor.
When the Doctor's physique is spread to the public one day, it will greatly shake the prestige of the Lateran Church. Doesn't your Lateran Church always promote that Originium disease is God's affliction? Then how come the Doctor is not affected by Originium disease? Is he the God of your Lateran?
Lateranism… there can only be one Doctor.
The Doctor is indeed a bomb...
A bomb that can destroy the foundation of the Lateran Church!
"Long time no see, Messenger Mastema."
Kel'tsit's face lit up with a delighted smile, almost going crazy with joy over Mostima's visit. "Excuse me, what brings you here to see me? Is it because of that person?"
"Let's go inside and talk, Dr. Kelsey. It's not convenient to chat here."
Mostima smiled and said nothing. When she glanced at the shabby room, the teasing in her eyes became even stronger. Although Kal'tsit couldn't notice it, that was because she herself couldn't guess what the blue-haired angel was thinking.
-squeak.
Mastema gently sat down on the sofa in the room.
"Doctor Kel'tsit, His Holiness the Pope is very angry with you. Why did you hide the Doctor's race and let the whole of Terra know about it?"
The first words out of his mouth were a reprimand. Mostima and Kal'tsit looked at each other. Kal'tsit's arm shook uncontrollably, and she realized that Mostima was "holding accountable" on behalf of the Lateran Church.
If she was still the ruler of Rhodes Island, Mostima would definitely not talk to her in this tone, but times have changed, she has fallen on hard times, and strictly speaking, she is "wanted" by both Rhodes Island and the Reunion Movement, a fugitive with a bounty on her head.
Kal'tsit was somewhat afraid that Mostima could find this place, and even more so, in front of her room. First, the losers like Ace downstairs had been knocked down by Mostima, and second, her whereabouts had been exposed in front of Mostima long ago, but Mostima did not do her a favor and report it to the Central Coordination and Reunion Movement of Rhodes Island.
This shows that from the moment she fled Rhodes Island, she was targeted by Mostima. The Military Control Commission of Rhodes Island couldn't find her, but Mostima did. The escape route of her and Ace and others was clearly seen by Mostima, and he followed closely behind her.
Kal'tsit clearly remembered that half a month ago, the Pope of Lateran had contacted her that a messenger would be coming. After waiting for half a month, the messenger from Lateran was nowhere to be seen. She initially wanted to use the Doctor's physique as a bargaining chip to see if she could get Lateran's assistance. It was because Mostima was late that she was forced to take a gamble!
Mastema went against Pope Lateran's orders... and "ate melons" for half a month!?
And Mostima was not only enjoying the show, she was also certain that she would escape after the war between Rhodes Island and Reunion, so she was guarding the door... Kal'tsit was horrified when she thought about it. Could it be that the thoughts of her, a great immortal, were seen through by Mostima, a woman of about 28 years old?
How else could one explain Mastema's behavior? Pope Lateran certainly wouldn't fool her. Mastema had arrived two weeks ago, yet he deliberately chose not to see her. Was he truly a fallen angel? He even dared to disobey Pope Lateran's orders. What was Mastema expecting? What good would this do for Mastema?
"Don't be nervous about me, Dr. Kelsey. I am a symbol of the Pope now, not me personally."
Mostima nodded at the table, tilted her head, and raised the corner of her crimson lips in a meaningful arc. "Actually, Dr. Kel'tsit, if you told Lateran about this, His Holiness the Pope wouldn't be angry with you. But you've revealed this information to every country in Terra. Isn't that a bit too much? Are you disrespecting Lateran?"
"Just tell me what you want, Lateran. Science knows no borders. I'm doing this for Terra. That man's physique should be shared by all the nations of Terra. Telling you about Lateran might slow down Terra's scientific development."
Kal'tsit said in a cold voice with an expressionless face, how could she bow down to Mostima who was not even thirty years old? It would be better if the Pope of Lateran came. Mostima should respect her as a highly respected immortal!
"Science knows no borders... Phew, Dr. Kel'tsit, if the Sarkaz had half the nerve and cunningness you have, they wouldn't be what they are today. Your excuse is truly impeccable. We, Latlan, are still in the wrong."
Mostima immediately covered her mouth and burst out laughing without disguising herself, and Kal'tsit's face turned green with anger.
This is really as Mostima said, the Sarkaz are famous for their straightforward character, while Kal'tsit is the complete opposite type. If the Sarkaz really learn to be as stubborn and shameless as Kal'tsit, the territory of Kazdel will be exactly the same as Victoria's. After all, the character of Victorians is very similar to Kal'tsit.
The rise of the Tower of Babel was partly due to Kal'tsit. Theresa was in charge of the overall situation, the doctor was guiding the construction, and Kal'tsit was responsible for the "behind the scenes". The three of them were the best in their respective fields of expertise. Unfortunately, Theresa died and the doctor is nowhere to be found. The person in charge of the "behind the scenes" is actually in charge of the overall situation and guiding the construction. What do you think Rhodes Island will become in the end?
Kal'tsit's faith is Theresa, not the Doctor, which indirectly led to the conflict between Kal'tsit and the Doctor. If Kal'tsit's faith is the Doctor, then there will be no changes in Rhodes Island. Mostima analyzed this in her heart, combining what she saw and heard in the past half month with the information she heard from Rhodes Island operator Sakota.
Pleasure…
What a pleasure~!
Mostima looked at Kal'tsit with madness in her eyes.
Ah, what an "inspirational" story. The Doctor, who was bullied by Kal'tsit with tricks, makes a comeback. The two veterans who were originally the Tower of Babel will fight each other one day... The most exciting thing is that Kal'tsit was defeated by the Doctor's wisdom. The immortal species who lived for thousands of years suddenly lived worse than pigs and dogs in one day. It's so exciting!
Mastema was very pleased with her choice to "go idle," having the good fortune to witness the rise of the Reunion Movement and the Doctor's power. However, this wasn't enough. Right, what was Rhodes Island? Was Rhodes Island the Doctor's limit? It was definitely more than that...
"Did you come here on purpose to mock me, Mastema?"
Kal'tsit clenched her hands and said angrily, she was very angry about what Mostima said. She was already in the predicament of having to hide in the hotel, and Mostima was adding fuel to the fire.
"No, Dr. Kel'tsit, I'm here to convey His Holiness the Pope's willingness to cooperate. We in Lateran want to 'reclaim' the Demon King's power. Could you please cooperate with us?"
The happy smile on Mostima's face became even brighter, and she made an invitation personally proposed by Pope Evangelista XI of Lateran. Lateran wanted to take away the Demon King's "successor" Amiya, and this required Kal'tsit's assistance.
"Recover... the Demon King?"
Kal'tsit was stunned. She never expected that Mostima would bring this up.
The top brass of the Sarkaz Military Committee knew about the "Demon King", so it was normal for Lateran to know about it. Lateran was a geographical neighbor of the Sarkaz and had always been paying attention to the situation in the Sarkaz.
Just think about it, a sixteen-year-old girl from the Carter tribe would be the leader of Rhodes Island. Isn't this very strange? If she is not the Demon King, how can Amiya ever be qualified? No matter how close her relationship with Theresa, she would not be recognized by the veteran operators of Rhodes Island. Only the successor of the Demon King is worthy of it.
Rutland...want to take action against Amiya?
Kal'tsit's heart trembled.
After all, Amiya is the Doctor's weakness and also her weakness. Kal'tsit doesn't want to hurt Amiya. She can see the shadow of Theresa in Amiya.
She wanted to "teach" Amiya to be exactly like Theresa, to have Theresa's smile, Theresa's strength, and Theresa's compassionate heart. However, that man often obstructed her, saying that if Amiya wanted to become like him, she would just have to become like him. This made her angry. Theresa had saved Amiya's life, so why couldn't she become like Theresa?!
Kal'tsit sincerely felt that Rutland was too arrogant. She had hurt Amiya, so how would she return to Rhodes Island in the future? Did Rutland underestimate her intelligence? Her meticulous calculations were all on the table.
"Yes, we'll retrieve the Demon King. Dr. Kel'tsit, don't worry. We won't harm Amiya's life."
Mostima explained slowly, gradually allaying Kal'tsit's concerns. "According to my...our Lateran professionals, the Doctor will soon launch an attack on Rhodes Island's main ship. He will then completely seize Rhodes Island and the Sarkaz's 'Demon King.'"
"We don't want to interfere in Kazdel's internal affairs, but the Doctor and the Demon King are on the same side. His Holiness feels it's too dangerous. This gives Lateran a reason to intervene, such as protecting Operator Sakota in Rhodes Island."
"We hope you can lead us around Rhodes Island's security. After retrieving the Demon King, we will rebuild a brand new Rhodes Island for you. Our Lateran mobile battleship is also ready to launch a surprise attack on Chernobog and capture the doctor. From now on, you will lead Rhodes Island under Lateran's protection. We Lateran will help you~"
Lateran must take action to prevent Rhodes Island from being "swallowed" by the Reunion Movement. On another level, Lateran must also take the lead in competing for the Doctor. If the Doctor is snatched away by Columbia, it will be a big trouble. Columbia and Lateran are always at odds.
Colombia, a newly emerged nation in Terra, was deeply displeased with Lateran, a long-established "neutral nation," for selling arms and squeezing Colombian military space. With Colombia's expeditionary force dispatched, how could Lateran simply turn a blind eye? They had to act faster than Colombia!
Half a month ago, a large mobile warship of Lateran was moved to the middle area with Letania. This was an order given by Mostima in the name of the Pope, but Pope Evangelista XI never gave such an instruction. Evangelista XI only learned about it later from the report of his deputy Valerie.
Mostima's false report was an act of great disrespect, yet Evangelista XI forgave him.
On the contrary, Evangelista XI praised Mostima for the first time. It was simple. Lateran would be the first country to obtain the Doctor. While the eight Dukes of Victoria and the Columbia Expeditionary Force still had to wait, Lateran's mobile battleships had already broken through Chernobog.
Yan Nation held its ground, Ursus… Lateran didn't take it seriously. Ursus's Emperor Feolaf was a classic example of indecision; how could he have the guts to order the Internal Guard to war with Lateran? Ursus's new noble leader, Rasputin, even wished for the Reunion to perish!
Mostima calculated everyone's actions, and Evangelista XI praised him greatly.
Mostima is an impeccable strategist. It would be a waste of his talent to ask him to be the commander of an army group. Unfortunately, Mostima is a fallen angel, and the command of this battle will not be in his hands.
Mostima's role is to serve as a "connection" with the Rhodes Island Military Control Commission. When Lateran launches a special operation against Rhodes Island, every Sakota operator in Rhodes Island will cooperate. The Doctor of the Reunion Movement will face double pressure, having to command both the Reunion Movement's war against Rhodes Island and the war between the Reunion Movement and Lateran.
Can the doctors of the Integration Movement do this? No!
There are only a few mobile warships in Lateran, and each mobile warship is equipped with the most advanced Originium cannon and "Pontifical Knights" stationed on the mobile warship.
Lateran's victory in the war was undeniable. With the elite forces of one of Terra's most powerful nations deployed, how could a terrorist organization like Reunion truly defeat them? The Lateran elite were no joke. All of them were equipped with powerful and fully functional muskets, their firepower surpassing that of rockets!
"Seriously, Mostima, has His Holiness the Pope really made such a wise decision?!"
