#1076 - Candidates for the Red Priest Path and the current tasks of their followers
"Uh..." Zemo said with a forced smile, "There seems to be no problem with the contract."
"There was no problem in the first place. The main thing is fairness and justice."
"But some parts are not explained very clearly." Zemo pointed to the end of the contract and said, "Can you translate for me what it means that the 'final right of interpretation' belongs to Aaron Gaius?"
"I knew you were going to ask this." Aaron was not surprised, but pointed meaningfully at the ten bottles of potions on the table, "These ten bottles of potions are the God's Path I chose for you, the Hunter Path, also known as the Red Priest Path."
"From left to right, this is the sequence nine to sequence zero of this path: Hunter - Provocateur - Arsonist - Conspirator - Reaper - Iron Knight - War Bishop - Weather Warlock - Conqueror - Red Priest."
Zemo thought for a moment, "It sounds similar to leveling up."
"In fact, your understanding is correct. The transformation from a Sequence 9 Hunter to a Sequence 0 Red Priest is the transformation from a mortal to a god.
This cannot be achieved overnight. Only after digesting the low-sequence potion can one take the next-sequence potion to complete the promotion.
Just like a level-breaking game, you have to slowly accumulate experience, upgrade and evolve before you can finally pass the level.”
"It gets harder each time, right?"
“Yes, but each time it gets stronger.
You need to play the role corresponding to the name of the potion. This is the fastest way to accumulate experience."
"Hunter, provocateur, arsonist, conspirator, reaper..." Zemo suddenly laughed, "I seem to understand why you chose me.
This divine path seems to be tailor-made for me. I have played these roles before and am very familiar with them. "
"That's part of the reason, but not all." Aaron shrugged and continued, "Sequence 9 to Sequence 8 are low sequences, and Sequence 7 to Sequence 5 are mid-sequences.
Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 is the Saint level, your life level will undergo a transformation, and you will possess divinity and become half human, half god.
Sequence Four is the threshold of Sub-Father in this universe. For example, Samael, who descended in his true form but had his power suppressed by the super magic circle of Kamar-Taj, is at this level.
Sequence 2 to Sequence 1 are angels. Their life level has further transformed and they possess corresponding authority. In a sense, they can already be called gods.
But I am much stronger than Samael. Even at the angel level, I am the king of angels."
"Angel King?"
"Beyond Sequence One, but not yet at Sequence Zero, is my current status."
"So Sequence Zero is God, or Heavenly Father?"
Aaron nodded without comment, "But for some reason, I can only help my followers to advance to Sequence 2 at most.
To become a god after this, one needs enough merits and absolute loyalty.
After all, there is a huge difference between true gods and angels. The resources and time required to cultivate a true god and an angel are also quite different, the difference is between thousands of years and hundreds of years. "
“I understand.”
"That's the translation you wanted. Any other questions?"
Zemo thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, I have learned a little about your situation from Samael, and the situation is not particularly friendly to you."
"It's more than unfriendly!" Aaron said with a wry smile, "Currently, only two people know my identity, Odin, the God King of Asgard, and Ancient One, the Supreme Sorcerer of Earth.
They were all father-level bosses who were friendly to Gaius, but even they had certain calculations towards me, which forced me to stay away from them, not to mention other fathers who had a bad impression of Gaius.
What's even sadder is that Ancient One and Odin will be gone in the next few years.
Therefore, I must not show my face before I become a god, or I will be in danger of capsizing in the ditch."
"That's what I want to say." Zemo said seriously, "Even if you spare no effort to train your followers, they can only be cannon fodder in high-end games."
"That's right. Before becoming a Sequence 4 Saint, followers can't help much. The most they can do is do odd jobs and collect intelligence.
Currently, among my more than ten followers, only three have the fighting power of the Sub-Father, but they are all outside the earth to help me guard the retreat route and cannot appear on the earth casually. "
"The problem is that most followers can't reach Sequence 4 in a short period of time."
"Ha!" Aaron chuckled disdainfully, "I know what you are worried about, but your worry may be unnecessary."
“First of all, I am confident that I can become a god before Odin and Ancient One leave the stage.
The God of Magic is equivalent to God the Father, but his combat power is higher than that of God the Father.
In addition, I am the lord of the shadow dimension. After becoming a god, I can integrate the shadow dimension into the spiritual dimension and establish my own true kingdom of God.
At that point, everything will be very different.”
"Why do you think I took in followers? To help me fight?
No, it helps me avoid fighting better.
I will not stay in this troubled universe forever, and I have a feeling that after I become a god, the day when I return home will not be too far away."
"So..." Zemo looked at Aaron in disbelief, and suddenly an absurd idea emerged in his mind, "Doing odd jobs and collecting intelligence are the main tasks of the followers?"
"And spread the faith." Aaron spread his hands and added lightly, "Pope Gel of the Shadow Holy Court and Archbishop Carter Slay are both my followers. They are Sequence Eight of the Sun Path - Prayer of Light, and Sequence Eight of the Death Path - Gravedigger.
"This is really...unexpected!"
"What else? I can't let a group of low- and medium-sequence followers play in a high-level game, right?
I have twenty-two paths of God, but I only have one potion for each path. In other words, I can only cultivate one follower for each path.
If my family members die, this path will be cut off, so I will choose people with great care."
"But the value of the followers is not in the present, but in the future." Aaron looked meaningfully at the sea of clouds emitting golden light, "The spiritual world is a dreamlike dimension, and it is also the prototype of my kingdom of God.
But it is only a prototype until I materialize it and create different kinds of life.
The Kingdom of God needs not only a creator, but also a helmsman, a guardian, a manager, a punisher, etc. Do you understand what I mean?"
Snap! Snap!
Zemo blinked blankly, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, "I think I understand."
"You are the God of this world, and your followers are the angels who stand beside the throne of God and help God govern this world."
Aaron raised his eyebrows and looked at Zemo with admiration, "Not bad, you have understood it very well!
Since you are an angel standing beside the throne of God, you cannot be too weak, at least not weaker than the life I created."
"I understand." Zemo nodded in awe, "I will try my best to improve my sequence and catch up with others...

Wait, who are the other dependents?"
“Every three months I will convene all the dependents for a meeting here. The next meeting is less than a month away, and you will know then.
In addition, if you encounter any important events, you can notify me by chanting my name. "
"You can sign the contract now." Aaron made a gesture of invitation, "Just reach out and write your name in the air."
Zemo pursed his lips and signed his name on the contract.
As the contract turned into a light spot and dissipated, Aaron raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction, "Congratulations, you made the right decision."
"Can I be promoted to a Sequence 9 Hunter now?" Zemo asked seriously, looking at the bottles of potions on the table.
"What's the hurry?
Everything here is illusory. If you want to be promoted, you have to return to reality. "Aaron said seriously, "But you have to solve the current trouble first."
"You mean the UN bombing?"
"Why do you think T'Challa and the others came to you? To exorcise a demon?"
"Why not just blame it all on Samael?" Zemo said with a matter-of-fact smile, "It's not surprising for demons to do anything. Helmut Zemo is just a poor, exploited victim."
"I thought so too, but how exactly should I do it? Are you okay with that?"
"No problem, I just have to pretend I know nothing.
As for Samael, how credible are the words of the devil? "
"Good, I didn't find the wrong person.
Once you have dealt with these trivial matters, come and find me to visit your family’s grave.
I will let you meet one last time, and then you can become a Sequence Nine Hunter."
"Yes, Master."
......
Night falls.
The Wakanda plane arrived on time and took the group away from the cold Siberia.
Several royal guards looked at Aaron with scrutiny, but they suppressed their curiosity out of politeness.
"T'Challa, who is he? (Wakanda)" asked Okoye, the leader of the guards who was flying the plane. Others were reluctant to speak, but she still had a certain say.
As soon as they got off the plane, they saw Aaron folding a three-story villa into a capsule, which he put into a motorcycle, and then put the motorcycle into the ring.
The whole process was like a magic show, but it was not the usual abstract and smooth one.
"I don't know how to describe it," T'Challa said in Wakandan, "but this is his secret, so it's best not to explore it casually.
Aaron Gaius, this man is full of mystery, but he is definitely not someone Wakanda can afford to offend."
"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Okoye frowned unhappily. Although Wakanda is low-key, its strength is among the best in the world. There is no need to be so afraid!
“You should be able to see from the plane how fierce the battle was on this snowy plain.
He and the...pet he was holding in his arms was the protagonist of this battle, and they killed a very powerful demon lord, Samael, the Sin of Wrath.
To be honest, I have two other super-powered people, Spider-Man and Ant-Man, and the three of us were almost killed by Samael together.
He saved us, and he saved my father, T'Chaka, too, I think you know what I mean."
Okoye's pupils suddenly contracted and he nodded solemnly.
Even without mentioning Aaron's exaggerated fighting power, the fact that he saved the King of Wakanda and the only legitimate royal heir of Wakanda is enough for Wakanda to be grateful.
"What are you talking about?" Aaron came over and asked.
"We are discussing how to thank you for saving our lives." T'Challa said with a smile.
"The greatest thanks to you for letting Wanda retire smoothly is your biggest thank you," Aaron said seriously. "Of course, if you insist on giving me 10 or 8 kilograms of vibranium, I will definitely not refuse."
"No problem." T'Challa said easily, "After we finish dealing with the United Nations, the vibranium will be delivered to your house."
"Um...excuse me, where is the plane going?" Scott raised his hand.
"United Nations Vienna."
“I personally suggest that Zemo be sent to the United Nations for interrogation. T’Challa, you serve as his witness and try to get him leniently treated, preferably with an acquittal.
As for Barnes, he should be sent to the Avengers and let them resolve their past grievances themselves.
Some Avengers have already signed the Sokovia Accords. They can have a civil war now, but they cannot let this civil war become known to everyone, otherwise it will not end. "
T'Challa pondered for a moment and nodded seriously.
"Can you take us to New York first?" Scott asked, raising his hand.
"It is necessary. They both have to keep their identities secret, otherwise they will inevitably attract covetous people. I don't want to deal with those people either."
"More importantly..." Peter Parker hesitated, "Mr. Stark's matter."
T'Challa reacted, turned his head to look at Bucky Barnes, who was silent, and Helmut Zemo, who had a confused look on his face but obvious excitement in his eyes, and shook his head helplessly.
He knew that they didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Stark family, and if he wasn't the prince of Wakanda, he would have avoided the matter.
Telling Tony Stark the truth would be equivalent to disintegrating the Avengers. A civil war is absolutely inevitable, and no one wants to take the blame.
"Just take us back to the clearing where we started," Aaron suggested.
"Yeah," Scott agreed. "My truck is right there, too. I can drive it right after I get off the plane."
"No problem." T'Challa winked at Okoye, then looked at Zemo seriously, "What happened to the explosion in the UN building?"
"I don't know." Zemo said innocently, "I know you don't believe me, but no matter how crazy I am, I won't blow up the United Nations building!"
"You don't mean to say that it was all Samael's fault?" Scott said speechlessly.
Zemo spread his hands, smiled bitterly and said, "My memory of the time he controlled me seems to have been deleted. I don't remember anything."
"But Samael said..."
"How credible are the devil's words?" Zemo interrupted Peter Parker righteously, "But to be honest, I am quite grateful to him.
I find it ridiculous to be grateful to a devil.
We believe in God, but God did not bless my family. At least the devil helped me to avenge myself.”
