"Me, Norton, a single-celled organism? Oh no, does that mean I, Norton, am a paramecium?"
Norton lay languidly on the soft couch, his pale body undisturbed. While the experiment continued, he had observed the entire process and was aware of all the details.
The entire Southern Continent is under his control; this is no joke.
Not to mention this experiment that isn't far away, he knows everything about Duoxia's visit to the Aodelan Empire's palace to meet Miles XIII, and what Miles XIII is planning now.
But he didn't care; not only did he not care, he even wanted to promote it.
No matter who it is, no matter what method they use, as long as they can harm him, it means that his stagnant flesh and blood have been given another chance to advance...
However, the experimental results still surprised him.
" God created all things from Himself, and everything in the world was born from God... Therefore, that holy God can also be called the primordial cell, and the Vampire of the old era were one with God, their bodies being in a so-called single-celled state, which is understandable..."
Norton racked his brains trying to recall the biology he had learned in his previous life, but he felt that the logic of this reasoning was not very rigorous.
However, he had long forgotten most of the knowledge from his previous life, and after thinking it over and over, he actually felt that there was no problem.
Even if there were no problems, the name of the so-called primordial cell still piqued Norton's deep thought.
"In the past, I conducted live experiments. The final stage of the completely mutated life forms, beyond my conscious control, was a mass of blurry flesh resembling Cthulhu. I named it the Primordial Lifeform. The murmurs and whispers released from the writhing flesh were unbearable for all species, like true, indescribable ancient deities... If we consider my view that Norton is also a single-celled species, could this life form also be a new generation of ' Kuba ' created by my genes and those of God?"
Norton sat up from the bed, his pale body wracked with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
People are always apprehensive about the unknown, especially when that unknown involves their life and safety.
However, it cannot be denied that this seems to be a path forward that Norton could try.
"Alright, I've just recovered and haven't even had a chance to enjoy the beauty of life yet, so I won't use that method for now."
Norton pondered for a moment, then cleared his mind of any potentially dangerous thoughts.
Although the immense divine power that stirred his will when he was imprisoned truly terrified him, he didn't want to take any greater risks before the ship reached the bridge.
Having survived for a thousand years, Norton's ideas have not undergone any major changes to this day.
Cowardice and weakness remain the dominant themes in his heart, while betrayal and forgetting one's roots remain his life's principles.
The only impulsive outburst Norton ever made was the God-Slaying War that led to his banishment. Although Norton did not suffer any great pain or fatal injury from the banishment, his inner fear was greater than ever before, far less than that of Adam, Yalian III, or even Miles XIII and XIV!
Apart from Bowser, the true Kuba was a genuine fearless saint, the rest of the Vampire clan, from Norton to Abraham, are a bunch of treacherous villains!
The largely pointless experimental research continued, and although Norton kept a close eye on it, his attention was not solely focused on these simple biological experiments.
In the holy year 1563, three years after the Pale God took up residence in the imperial city of the Aodelan Empire.
After three years of silence, the Pale God Norton once again wielded his power.
Using the pretext that "the world is filthy, and only pure white holy water can thoroughly cleanse it," they mobilized the official power of the Aodelan Empire Aodelan Empire to begin reforming the major Church and monasteries within its borders.
The major monasteries were given 'sacred pools' and the laws of the Aodelan Empire were promulgated.
It mandated that Church throughout the Aodelan Empire must travel to the Aodelan Empire Palace every six months to collect holy water blessed by the Pale God Norton, and hold a grand Mass before the autumn harvest and spring planting. The blessed holy water was then made into holy food and distributed to the people, thus demonstrating God's name of "holiness" through this "giving".
This decree shook the entire Aodelan Empire.
"No way, does he really think he's the emperor of the Aodelan Empire? He actually dares to take advantage of being given face!"
"Hmph, a Pale God, indeed! Judging from the few remnants of ancient history, what this Pale God is doing now is purely a replica of the inhumane Papal State system of the past! He is restoring papal rule; he is turning back the clock of history!"
"Great, Pale God, your humble believer longs for your blessings!"
The people of the Aodelan Empire reacted in various ways. Those whose main ideology was based on the humanistic ideas of the new era found the absurd policies of this Pale God both laughable and infuriating.
Such a policy of coercion was abolished more than a century ago during the Reformation. To bring it up again now is simply turning back the clock of history.
Aside from a few genuine Church fanatics, other young people of the new era, scholars, and even people from various countries have all spoken out to ridicule the Pale God that is now being fantasized about.
Aside from the fact that people's thinking is very different now than in the past, the biggest reason for this is that the Southern Continent has experienced nearly a century of peace.
A century without major wars and the prolonged peace have led people around the world to forget just how powerful the state system truly is, and to forget what a real institution of violence is!
However, before the Mass of the Pale God even began, it was not the people of the Aodelan Empire who launched the first attack, but the Holy Lord Church Holy See located within the territory of the Kaimen Empire!
"That Pale God Norton has usurped the divine throne, replacing my Holy Lord Church God with his own name; he has committed blasphemy!"
Now, they are going against the old system of my Holy Lord Church, attempting to subvert the tradition of my Holy Church and destroy the name of my God!
The Holy Lord Church does not recognize this hideous monster as the name of God proclaimed by the Holy Lord Church. The only God recognized by our Holy Lord Church is ' Caesar ', not ' Norton '!
According to the records of Church personnel from a thousand years ago that my Holy Lord Holy See found, this Pale God Norton was merely a missionary of my Holy Lord Church who was bound to the cross and burned at the stake for 'heretical' crimes more than 1,600 years ago!
All members of our Holy Lord Church Church, and all monasteries, resist this Pale God. Those who yield will be excommunicated by the Holy See!
