Fangzheng was resting leisurely in the Tendo Temple, but in the Tokyo Special Economic Zone, the situation was completely different.
"Sigh …"
Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, the Son of Heaven pressed his forehead and sighed softly.
To be honest, it was a good thing for the whole world to be able to defeat the Taurus Legion, but the problem was … the power that the Tendo Temple showed in the process.
As long as one saw the battle, it was clear that the Taurus Army was annihilated. The Taurus Army that they were so proud of was completely useless. It was the Cursed Children that blocked the Protozoa's attack. But the problem was … the power that the Cursed Children showed in this battle was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
Before this battle, their imagination about the battle of the Cursed Children was limited to being able to use more powerful weapons than ordinary people, or being able to use their powerful strength freely to wield swords to kill the Protozoa, but that was about it.
But what did they see?
Lightning, storms, thunder … so much so that many people wondered if they were still normal.
Were they really living in a normal world?
Because of this, the view of the Tendo Temple in the Tokyo Special Economic Zone had changed.
The Son of Heaven knew very well that the Diet had already made a decision before. After the Taurus Legion was destroyed, they would veto the bill on the grounds that the Cursed Children Protection Act would cause damage to the internal order of the Tokyo Special Economic Zone. These MPs had naturally planned this. After all, this was also the reason why they had allowed the Cursed Children Protection Act to go on a rampage. In their view, this was a legitimate opportunity to drive the Tendo Temple out of the Tokyo Special Economic Zone.
In any case, the Tendo Temple's purpose for the Tokyo Special Economic Zone was to protect the city. Now that the crisis of the Protozoa had been resolved, the disobedient mad dog should get out of here.
But now, many people had changed their views.
This was because the power displayed by the Heavenly Dao Palace had completely exceeded their expectations. To many people, becoming enemies with such a frightening organization was an extremely risky thing to do.
Currently, the higher-ups of the Tokyo Special Economic Zone were divided into three factions regarding the Tendo Temple. The hardliners, led by the military, insisted on cutting off cooperation with the Tendo Temple and abolishing the cursed child protection act. From their point of view, the power of the Tendo Temple had already threatened their rule over the Tokyo Special District. They had to curb this momentum in time.
They were not afraid of the revenge of the Tendo Temple. Many people vowed that if the Tendo Temple dared to do something to the Tokyo Special District, then they could tell the world what the Tendo Temple had done as a victim and let the world know what a terrible organization the Tendo Temple was.
The Elysian Son of Heaven was speechless at the thoughts of these people. The other party was an organization that even dared to challenge the IISO. Would they really be afraid of their threats?
In contrast to the hardliners of the military, the conservatives on the other side were completely frightened by the power of the Tendo Temple. Not only did they disagree with the demands of the hardliners, but they even asked to maintain a good relationship with the Tendo Temple as much as possible. But these people also had bad intentions. The Elysian Son of Heaven was also very clear that they had taken a fancy to the power of the Tendo Temple. If possible, these people wanted to use this way to reach cooperation with the Tendo Temple – even an alliance.
After all, if there was such a strong military support, then the influence of the Tokyo Special District in the world would also greatly increase. Those politicians who had always considered interests first, of course, would not miss these opportunities.
As for the rest, it could be said that they were steady — or rather, neutral. They did not have any ideas of their own. They just followed the wind and leaned towards whichever side had the upper hand. But in the end …
Looking at the documents in front of her, the Elysian Son of Heaven sighed. The battle between the two factions was not fierce at the moment, but it had a deep impact. More importantly, the conservatives even sent someone to hint to her to be "sensible". Of course, the Elysian Son of Heaven understood what the other party meant. She was only 16 years old, had outstanding beauty, and had never been in a relationship. If the Tokyo Special District wanted to establish a stable relationship with the Tendo Temple, then she would be the most suitable candidate for a political marriage.
However, the Elysian Son of Heaven had a feeling that Fangzheng did not show any desire for her. She had only met him a few times, but in these few meetings, she could not feel the desire or greed in Fangzheng's eyes that other men had when they looked at her.
She had a hunch that even if the Diet really proposed this to Fangzheng, he would probably just chuckle and pretend that he did not hear anything.
Not to mention … there was a very troublesome matter at hand ….
"Report, Miss Tiria is here."
"Invite her to the conference room. I'll be there soon."
Hearing the notification from outside the door, the Elysian Son of Heaven took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the door.
That's right, after the battle, Fangzheng returned to the Tendo Temple with the Cursed Children. In their place, the girl named Tiria became responsible for the affairs of the Tendo Temple in the Tokyo Special District. This time, the Elysian Son of Heaven invited her to come because he wanted her to explain the power that the Cursed Children displayed in the battle.
However … this Miss Tiria was obviously not a person who was easy to talk to.
The Elysian Son of Heaven had met her a few times. To be honest, Miss Tiria appeared to be a year or two younger than the Elysian Son of Heaven. This surprised the Elysian Son of Heaven, but the aura that she displayed made even the Elysian Son of Heaven feel a little inferior.
Due to his lack of confidence in himself and the fact that he wanted to be close to the people, the Elysian Son of Heaven's image was basically the approachable type. But Tiria was completely different. Although her tone and wording were very polite when they met, her attitude and expression gave off a feeling of "it's your honor to be able to talk to me, you lowly commoners".
What was even more depressing was that logically speaking, this kind of arrogant attitude should have been annoying. But for some reason, in front of her righteous aura, the Elysian Son of Heaven could only lower his head and say, "Yes, you're right, Miss."
Frankly speaking, the Elysian Son of Heaven was quite envious of Tiria. Although she did not plan to reach her level, she still hoped that she could be more assertive. But …
If it weren't for Mr. Tiantong, she might not be able to do anything …
The Elysian Son of Heaven could not help but feel a little depressed. But she forced herself to pull herself together, walked out of the room, and went to the conference room. The high-level representatives of the Tokyo Special District had all arrived. Everyone had a serious expression on their faces, and even the atmosphere was a little tense.
"Let's welcome Miss Tiria."
The Elysian Son of Heaven took a deep breath and gave the order after glancing at the people around her. Upon hearing her voice, the others immediately straightened their bodies with nervous expressions. Soon, the door of the conference room opened, and a young girl in a pink dress walked in with a parasol in her hand.
"Welcome to the Holy Residence, Miss Tiria."
The Elysian Son of Heaven hurriedly stood up and greeted Tiria. Tiria glanced at her and smiled.
"It's an honor to be invited by the Elysian Son of Heaven … So, why did you invite me to the Holy Residence this time?"
As expected …
Although Tiria's tone and words were very respectful, her azure blue eyes were filled with disdain and contempt for everyone. She did not feel like a high and mighty person looking at a commoner, but more like the reaction of a human looking at a mouse or an ant.
"It's like this, Miss Tiria."
The Elysian Son of Heaven took a deep breath and went straight to the point.
"I'm sorry to disturb you when you're so busy, but we were very surprised by what happened during the battle with the Taurus. Those children …. The power they displayed was beyond our understanding. I would like to ask, what method did the Tendo Temple use to give those children … .such power?"
Upon hearing the Elysian Son of Heaven's question, the others stared at Tiria attentively. They had already guessed that it must be the Tendo Temple's doing. But only the confirmation from the people of the Tendo Temple would put them at ease …. No, it should be said that since the Tendo Temple could give these cursed children such power, could they also give ordinary humans such power?
"What? I was wondering why you asked me to come here. So it's just for this? Humans are really a bunch of hopeless idiots. "
You speak as if you're not human!
Hearing Tiria's disdainful response, the others roared in their hearts, but on the surface, they still wore smiles on their faces, as if they did not hear what Tiria said at all.
"Alright, although I'm not interested in this, since Big Brother didn't ask me to keep it a secret, there's nothing I can't say."
Tiria sat on the chair and reached for the teacup. She took a sip of the tea inside and frowned. Then, she put the teacup aside.
"That's right, those children do possess power beyond their own, but … .that's because they're children chosen by God. Is there a problem?"
"Wha ….?"
Hearing this, everyone, including the Elysian Son of Heaven, was dumbfounded.
The cursed children had always been a symbol of disgust in this world, which was why they were called "cursed children". But Tiria actually said that they were children chosen by God?
"Miss Tiria, please don't joke around. We're very serious!" “
At this moment, one of the councilors reacted and said unhappily. From his point of view, Tiria was obviously spouting nonsense to fool them.
"I'm not interested, and I don't have time to waste here joking with you. The power that those children possess is a gift from God …. It's that simple."
Tiria smiled faintly.
His elder brother was the God of Creation, and the cursed children that he had taken a liking to were naturally the children chosen by the Gods.
Was there something wrong with her?
