Aoki didn't hesitate at all and gave an affirmative answer.
This was not because he was speaking without thinking, but because in his plan, he could indeed help the two of them return. After returning to the Elven World, they would also be put in important positions by Aoki.
If the two of them were not put in important positions, Aoki would not have to go through so much trouble to bring them back.
If Brad had brought back many people today, Aoki would have considered it, but if it was just Catherine alone, Aoki felt that it was just right.
Weren't there One-Tree and BaiLing, two members of the church who also had God's Stones?
Moreover, with so many people from the church coming in at once, Aoki did not think that they had no way to go back. Even now that the space seal had disappeared, Aoki could rely on the unknown totem's ability to walk out of this continent. It was just that in the vast and unknown space turbulence, it was not easy to find the location of the Elven World.
In short, Aoki had a way to bring them back.
Of course, the best situation was for them to go back quietly and not attract the attention of others.
Catherine and Aoki looked at each other for a while and saw the strong confidence in his eyes. In addition, with the deterrent effect of the powerful Drakley next to him, she knew that she no longer had the right to choose. From the moment Aoki appeared in front of her, she no longer had the power to choose.
Catherine did not expect Brad to respect Aoki so much.
Brad alone was not someone she could deal with, not to mention now there was also Aoki, who seemed to be stronger.
Once she wanted to go back on her word, she would probably be attacked fiercely by the two of them.
Catherine was the same as Brad. Her elves were not completely preserved. She only had a few elves on her. Although she kept her storage space, she could not keep all of her elves.
Before Brad got the three-headed evil dragon, the two of them were not much different in strength, but after Brad got the three-headed evil dragon and quickly merged with it, Catherine admitted that she was no longer his opponent.
Casually giving away a priceless finished product like the Three-Headed Evil Dragon was also the reason why Catherine and Brad came to see Aoki together.
"Phew —" Catherine let out a long sigh. Although the meeting with Aoki was not what she had expected, and Aoki was also much younger than she had expected, she had to admit that Aoki's display of strength was enough.
The younger he was, the more he could see Aoki's potential.
She had already prepared herself before coming here. Now that she had no other choice, it wasn't hard for her to accept the fact that she had to lower her head, especially when she was mentally prepared for it.
"Milord!" Catherine lowered her head. In the face of absolute strength, all the little tricks and thoughts were unnecessary, let alone in a situation where she had no choice.
Aoki looked at Catherine, who lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at him, and a wave of satisfaction rose in his heart. A subordinate who could judge the situation was sometimes much better than a subordinate who was brainless and reckless.
His luck was good. This time, if he accepted Catherine, he would have two powerful subordinates who could judge the situation.
"Don't resist." Aoki's voice sounded again.
Aoki reached out his hand and slowly placed it on Catherine's head. Only by planting a superpower seed could Aoki trust her. Aoki, who was very suspicious, didn't think that this was his weakness.
Catherine's body trembled slightly when the warm palm was placed on her head. She vaguely felt what was going to happen, but she had already made a decision in her heart and didn't have any thoughts of resistance.
Without feeling any resistance, Aoki skillfully planted a superpower seed in Catherine's mind.
"Huh?" But halfway through, Aoki made a sound of surprise, as if he found something that surprised him, but he temporarily put this matter aside. Planting a superpower seed was his goal this time.
At this point, he had truly succeeded in subduing this subordinate.
"Brad will explain to you about the superpower seed. Now I need to understand your strength." Aoki said.
"Yes!" Catherine replied.
She didn't know why, but she felt that there was a subtle connection between herself and Aoki, or it could be said that the so-called master-servant relationship had been confirmed.
Catherine once again threw out two pokeballs and summoned two elves. Aoki also scanned the data of the two elves the moment they were summoned.
One was a level 82 water elemental fairy, Mari Luli, and the other was a level 81 Abba. The levels of these two elves weren't bad, but judging from their aptitude and quality of training, these two elves should have reached the peak of their potential.
The first checkpoint of the champion level shouldn't have much to do with them, but it wasn't easy to have their current strength, but that beautiful flower still had room to grow.
In Aoki's view, Abbot was relatively mediocre and didn't have many characteristics.
Of course, this was from Aoki's point of view. From his point of view, for some ordinary people, this Abbot might be an existence that they would never be able to catch up to in their lifetime.
But that Mari Luli made Aoki feel a glimmer of light. The strength that Mari Luli could display sometimes wasn't that simple.
Daigo's Super Big Mouth Baby with the Hercules characteristic already felt a little indescribable.
It was just that they lived here, so they probably didn't know about the fairy element. Once they returned to the elven world, they should be able to display the true power of the Hercules characteristic Mari Luli.
In terms of overall strength, Catherine was about the same as Kabir before he obtained the Three-Headed Evil Dragon. She was slightly weaker, but not by much. She should be able to contend against him.
But if the Three-Headed Evil Dragon was added, there would be a gap.
"Not bad. Since I rewarded Kabir with a Three-Headed Evil Dragon, I shouldn't be stingy with you joining. But the Three-Headed Evil Dragon is a rare elf, so you'll have to suffer a little. I'll give you this Big Geranium as a gift." Aoki took out a pokeball from his pocket.
He had obtained this Big Geranium from God's Church, Jockley, along with his Ye Ibu.
Although this Big Geranium wasn't as rare as the Three-Headed Evil Dragon, this Big Geranium had broken through the first checkpoint of the champion level. In terms of strength, it wasn't inferior to Kabir's Three-Headed Evil Dragon. It might even be stronger.
This Big Geranium's potential wasn't weak, but Aoki himself didn't like to use other people's elves. Ever since he obtained this Big Geranium, it hadn't had a chance to appear. Its body was just sitting there, and it was about to grow fat.
Now that he had given it to Catherine, it would obviously be more useful.
With this Big Geranium, Catherine's strength wouldn't be inferior to Kabir's. In the future, when she helped Aoki with things, it would be easier for Aoki to rest assured.
That was what Aoki thought, but when Kabir and Catherine saw this Big Geranium, they were shocked. They didn't think that Aoki would casually take out such a powerful elf.
First, it was the rare Three-Headed Evil Dragon. Now, it was a Big Geranium that had broken through the first checkpoint of the champion level.
Although this Big Geranium wasn't as likable as elves like Miaogua and the Lizard King, it was still one of the three elves in the city. Its potential wasn't weak.
Kabir and Catherine didn't know what Aoki's identity was, but someone who could take out two elves so easily must not be an ordinary person.
"This Big Geranium … is really … for me?" Catherine was in disbelief.
As long as she got this Big Geranium, her strength would almost double. With her eyes, she could see that this Big Geranium was much better than her own Mari Luli and Abba. Only Beautiful Flower could barely compare. However, Beautiful Flower's strength was still a lot weaker than this Big Geranium.
"You, who can use Beautiful Flower, should be able to control the grass elemental Big Geranium faster. This is a reward for you. I hope you can do your job well.
As for returning to the Elf World, I will let you go back, "Aoki said with a smile.
Kabir took the Pokeball in a daze and showed an envious look.
However, he knew that only with stronger strength would he be qualified to work for Aoki.
Aoki looked at Catherine, who had accepted the Big Geranium, and nodded with satisfaction.
This way, with Kabir and Catherine, with their strength, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to deal with a member of the church.
Now that the people of the church were scattered all over the place, it was time to stop them from being so ostentatious.
"Catherine, you should first familiarize yourself with the Big Geranium and try to establish a basic cooperation as soon as possible.
Then, the two of you should find a place to practice your strength. When it's time for you to fight, I will arrange it for you.
However, follow me to a place later. Maybe there will be a time for you to help. "After Aoki finished speaking to them, he rushed in an unknown direction in a flash.
Catherine and Kabir looked at each other. Although they didn't know what Aoki was going to do, they had already become his subordinates. All they needed to do was listen to his orders.
Catherine put away the Big Geranium and chased after Aoki with Kabir.
...
Not long after, Aoki, who had finished changing his clothes, disguised himself as a member of the church again.
His goal this time was very simple. Since he could fool Daigo by fighting Daigo, Daigo didn't feel too different.
However, what could really make Aoki feel at ease was to find a member of the church to test and see if he could find something that he hadn't done perfectly.
Now, Aoki didn't dare to go directly to the headquarters of the church on Spacetime Mountain. Any mistake could lead to his death.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Aoki had to find a member of the church to test first.
As for bringing Kabir and Catherine, it was only because they happened to see the mark left by Kabir during the day.
However, with them around, they would be two good helpers.
From Bartram's memories, Aoki learned many secrets about the church, including the church's current plans in the Spacetime Continent.
In Bartram's memories, the person in charge of the church's operation, the dark-faced leader, had divided the entire Spacetime Continent into twelve regions, marking them from 1 to 12 in order. The Wave Guide Valley where Aoki and Kabir were located was in Zone 3.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the operation and their respective gains, the twelve church members who were operating outside had to return every seven days to make a report to confirm their respective situations.
From Bartram's memories, Aoki also knew that the twelve church members who were sent out weren't completely under the command of the dark-faced man. Five of them were under the orders of the crazy man who was the first to enter the Spacetime Continent to hunt down Aoki and the others.
It was just that Aoki and the others were in Zone 3, which was Bartram, and another church member in Zone 4 were under the command of the dark-faced man.
According to what Aoki knew, there was more or less a gap in the strength of these church members. Bartram was about average among this group of people, and the person whom Kena had killed back then was one of the weakest.
And the target that Aoki was heading toward, Bartram's' companion ', was above average among these church members.
However, Aoki didn't take it to heart. Although there was a gap in strength between them, the gap wasn't as big as he imagined.
Coincidentally, Bartram and the person in Zone 4 knew each other's whereabouts because they would have 'friendly' exchanges every once in a while.
The competition and intrigue between the church members were much more serious than Aoki imagined. At least, it was much more serious than the intrigue between the Rocket Team members.
It was a typical profit-oriented organization. The reason why they could gather together was partly because of the benefits and partly because of the deterrence of the higher-ups' strength.
Bartram didn't know the true strength of the dark-faced man. He only knew that from the moment he entered the church, all those who opposed the dark-faced man, except for the crazy man, were dead without exception.
And the strength of the crazy man's superpower could be said to be the strongest in the entire church. Except for the church bishop who was elusive, the crazy man's superpower was the strongest among all the church members!
There were no moon or stars at night in the Spacetime Continent, but it was unknown how Luca and Palucci operated it so that the night in the entire Spacetime Continent was not pitch-black. One could vaguely see the fluorescent light emitted from it.
If one looked carefully, they would find that these fluorescent lights all came from the top of the Spacetime Mountain in the middle of the Spacetime Continent.
It was just that they were so far away, so they couldn't see what was shining.
The night in the Spacetime Continent was similar to the night in the Elven World. At night, wild Elves were very active, so on the way, one needed to be vigilant at all times and be careful not to be ambushed by powerful wild Elves.
Slowly, the three of them changed from running on two legs to flying on Elves.
Aoki stood on the back of the Berserk Dragon, letting the cold night wind blow on his cheeks.
Meanwhile, Brad and Catherine rode on the back of the three-headed dragon.
Looking at the Berserk Dragon flying quickly in front of him, Brad's eyes were filled with surprise.
The Berserk Dragon's level wasn't very high. He had noticed this when he first saw it. At that time, the Berserk Dragon wasn't as strong as it was now.
What really surprised him was the flying speed of the Berserk Dragon. His three-headed dragon was already flying at full speed, but there was still a certain gap between it and the Berserk Dragon.
And from the Berserk Dragon's expression, it didn't seem to be very strenuous. It had an expression of ease, as if it wasn't going all out.
The Berserk Dragon's flying speed in a straight line was amazing.
But in his heart, he was secretly relieved. At least Aoki couldn't casually summon an Elven that was at the champion level or had broken through the first checkpoint of the champion level.
If Aoki really had such strength, then the existence of Brad and Catherine was obviously dispensable to Aoki.
As a chess piece, if they became dispensable, then there was a large chance that they would be abandoned by the chess player.
Aoki couldn't be considered a chess player, but he could jump out of the chessboard and see many things that other chess pieces couldn't see.
None of the Elves that came to stop him could withstand a single attack from Drakley.
With the help of Hibiscus Chinensis every day, Drakley's use and control of energy became more proficient. Although his level didn't increase by much, his combat ability and combat reaction had greatly improved.
This was Drakley who had the peak combat awareness of the champion level. He had the strength of the first checkpoint of the champion level. Coupled with this awareness and the gradually recovering control of energy, he wasn't something that ordinary Elves of the same level could compare to.
Moreover, Drakley was also a divine beast. Even if he didn't have a divine title, he was still a divine beast. He had basic advantages that other Elves couldn't compare to.
Aoki's speed was very fast, so even if there was a gap of a region, it would at most take them one or two hours to cover the distance.
When Aoki slowly descended from the sky, he had already arrived not far from the place where the fourth member of the church usually lived.
If they got any closer, they would enter the perception range of the other party's superpower. Aoki's and Brad's entry would be immediately discovered by the other party.
"You two wait for me here. Don't go near before you feel the movement of the battle," Aoki said to Brad and Catherine.
"Yes!" The two of them replied respectfully.
Aoki pulled down the hood on his head, took a deep breath, and walked straight into the inner section.
From this moment on, he was no longer the Alliance's Sandstorm King Aoki, but Bartram, who had a relatively high status in the church!
As expected, when Aoki stepped into the perception range of the other party's superpower without much concealment, the other party's superpower responded immediately!
Aoki could feel the other party's superpower sweep across his body, but he didn't feel anything strange.
Without using his superpower to hide himself, Aoki strode in, followed by Geng Gui and Marsala.
This was Bartram's signature sprite.
Without much obstruction, Aoki arrived in front of Number Four. Because of Aoki's arrival, he looked eager to give it a try.
Although it was night time, for superhumans, not sleeping for a night wouldn't cause them any trouble. Even if they didn't sleep for three or four nights, as long as they didn't overuse their superpowers, there wouldn't be any problems.
According to Aoki's knowledge, the crazy man with extremely powerful superpowers in the church had almost given up on the habit of sleeping. This was a symbol of powerful superpowers.
Bartram had come a few times before, but it was also at night because they had to carry out missions during the day and only had free time at night.
"Bartram, are you looking for a beating again?" Number Four didn't give Aoki, who was his "companion", any face. As Number Four's strength was above Bartram's, he wouldn't treat him with respect just because they were both from the church.
This was how the members of the church usually interacted with each other. Because fundamentally speaking, they were competitors, and Number Four who had a certain advantage in terms of strength would of course have a self-satisfied sense of superiority.
This was also the reason why Number Four was willing to hang out with Bartram.
Just like how handsome people would have a few more boring friends, those with a little bit of scheming would realize that Number Four was just trying to set off his own "handsomeness".
The reason why Bartram was willing to hang out with Number Four was that he wanted to find a suitable opponent to fight. After all, not everyone could be a sparring partner.
From this, it could be seen that Bartram was quite motivated.
The other party didn't notice that Bartram, who was standing in front of him, was different, nor was he surprised by Aoki's sudden appearance.
"Come on!" Aoki answered concisely.
As a member of the church, even if they met with people from the same organization, the black cloak on their bodies and the superpower film on their faces wouldn't be removed because this was their last line of protection.
Every member of the church had their own identity in the Elven Alliance or the Elven world. Except for a small number of people who liked to live a normal life, they wouldn't remove the superpower film on their faces before they could reveal their true faces.
People of the same level wouldn't know each other's identities, and although their superiors knew their true identities, they only knew and didn't mind that they wore masks on their faces.
This gave Aoki more opportunities to pretend to be a member of the church.
The contact with Number Four this time was Aoki's first attempt to see if he would be able to detect any abnormalities.
As it turned out, the other party didn't notice anything at all. The moment he saw Aoki, he even believed that he was Bartram.
No matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that the Bartram in front of him was actually someone else pretending to be him. In their understanding, the members of the Alliance in the Spacetime Continent were little mice who were good at hide-and-seek, and they were a group of cats waiting for an opportunity to move. As long as they discovered the existence of Alliance members, they would definitely be captured mercilessly.
A mouse actually put on a cat's shell and became a cat? Finding trouble with a cat instead?
This was impossible in Number Four's opinion, so if the Bartram who appeared here wasn't Bartram, who else could he be?
Therefore, there was no need for Aoki to test him. Just like how Daigo didn't believe that anyone among them could pretend to be a member of the church, the people of the church didn't believe that anyone from the Alliance could pretend to be a member of their church. They didn't even think of this possibility.
Number Four's thoughts were actually the same as Bartram's before he met Aoki. Even if a group of teenage Alliance fellows had outstanding potential and were powerful, how powerful could they be?
Just like when they were young, which one of them wasn't an existence favored by the heavens?
Geniuses?
They were too!
It was just that they had already fully realized their talents. Otherwise, could any random person have the strength of a champion?
Therefore, without any derogatory meaning, all the members of the church, including Number Four and Bartram, looked down on the little Alliance fellows on this road.
Although they might be very strong in the future and their talents were good, it wasn't the future yet, right?
Bartram was still Bartram!
After fighting with Number Four for a while, Aoki found that he didn't have any doubts about his identity. Even though there were many differences between him and Bartram now, his Geng Gui and Marsala and Bartram's Geng Gui and Marsala were also quite different.
Therefore, Aoki liked a book he read on Earth very much. A detective named Holmes said a very famous sentence: Eliminate all the impossibilities, and the remaining ones, no matter how outrageous, are definitely the truth!
Eliminate all the impossibilities, Aoki pretending to be Bartram was the truth!
But not everyone would have such insights and thoughts. After all, preconceived ideas were the most difficult to correct. That was why a person's first impression of another person was very important.
Asking himself honestly, if Aoki stood in Number Four's perspective, he wouldn't be able to find any abnormalities because preconceived ideas almost dominated his overall thoughts at this time.
While Aoki's heart tightened, he also slowly increased the intensity of his battle with Number Four.
Because they thought it was a spar, when Aoki only used the Geng Gui and Marsala, Number Four also only used a Crossword Bat and a Nido King.
That's right, No. 4 was a trainer who was good at using poison-type sprites. However, his understanding of poison-type sprites was very different from Azuki's understanding of Azuki, who was very good at using poison-type sprites.
In Orange's mind, he pursued the ultimate poison. It would be best if the opponent could only be poisoned once and immediately lose their life. This was a very extreme way of thinking, but if it could really be achieved, then Orange might really become the King of Assassins in the Elven world.
And what Number Four in front of him liked to use was only the various disgusting means of poison elves. His elven poison was not very strong compared to Orange's elves, but his fighting style was fundamentally different from Orange's. Orange pursued a one-hit kill, while Number Four pursued torture, exhausting the opponent to death bit by bit.
Aoki did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the battle with Number Four.
On the other hand, Number Four was a little surprised by Aoki's strength. "Bartram, when did your strength improve so much?"
The tactics were still the same, but with two elves and a trainer, the overall improvement seemed to be greater.
Aoki's Marsala was very good at ice elves and had a great restraint on Number Four's Crossword Bat. In the end, he still needed the Geng Gui.
At this time, the Geng Gui had already broken through the first checkpoint of the champion level. Although the Geng Gui did not show it, it was still much stronger than Bartram's Geng Gui.
However, Aoki knew that Number Four's strongest elves were not the Crossword Bat and the Nido King in front of him. After all, as a member of the church, even if they were not suitable for super-powered elves, there would still be one or two elves that could undergo super-evolution.
It was just that even with their status, parangons were not limitless. They each had their own share every month. In addition to receiving certain rewards for completing missions, most of the time, parangons were also a limited resource for them. Not to mention, they more or less had a few subordinates in the Elven world, and sometimes they had to reward them with something.
So it was almost impossible to use super-evolution fossils in a spar.
After fighting for a while, Aoki and Number Four did not fight to the death.
Not long after, the two sat in front of the campfire. They did not seem to treat each other as outsiders, mainly because they "accidentally" made a wrong move and lost to Number Four.
Since they did not fight to the death, losing this move was equivalent to losing, so Number Four was naturally in a good mood. Satisfied, she prepared to keep Aoki for breakfast.
"Bartram, what kind of secret do you think is hidden in the barrier of the Spacetime Mountain? Why do you think Sir wants us to search for the person named Aoki day and night to retrieve the so-called Ye Ibu from his hands?" Number Four asked while chatting with Aoki.
In Aoki's memory, this should not be the first time the two talked about this topic, but the result was the same. There was definitely no conclusion.
He slowly stretched his body. Although it wouldn't affect him at all if he didn't sleep for a night, Aoki was still not used to it.
"Who cares what it is. Anyway, it definitely has nothing to do with us. Just do your own thing honestly," Aoki said lazily. It seemed that he had completely immersed himself in Bartram's role.
"Tsk —" Number Four clicked his tongue and continued, "It's just that we're working so hard, and in the end, most of the benefits are taken by others. It's a little unpleasant. Look at the subordinates of the other leader. They all put in effort but don't do anything. They look like they're just idling around, but in the end, the benefits they get are probably not less than ours."
Speaking of this, Number Four was a little indignant.
He and Bartram were both subordinates of the dark-faced man, so they had to put in effort. However, that group of people did not look like they would use their full strength at a glance.
"What can we do? Their boss and our boss don't get along." Aoki said faintly, "But I did think of a way to earn more benefits. It depends on whether you're interested in joining in."
Hearing Aoki's words, Number Four's eyes, hidden under the superpower film, lit up. He wanted to hear what Aoki's so-called method was.
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
"Since you don't like them so much, why don't we go and kill them! Isn't that much better than us putting in effort and still getting the same benefits? And one less person is obviously one less person to share the benefits! "
Although separated by the superpower film, he could vaguely feel the excitement and excitement in the pair of surprised eyes below.
