Chapter 533 What Is My Brother Doing?

812

"Ancestor? Or mother, mother goddess?"

Emlyn was a little dumbfounded. When these two symbols were combined, the red moon and bat wings undoubtedly meant the ancestor Lilith. But why did the First Patriarch allow himself to go to Harvest Church? Wasn't it already... sealed off and abandoned? Everything related to symbolism and religion was emptied and moved away, and the empty houses and benches eventually became homes for homeless people and homeless people.

The wandering people sleeping in the cleared church of the Mother Earth is also a picture with quite philosophical and religious meanings, but Emlyn did not feel these when he passed by there. His only emotion was Nothingness and sadness.

"Does the Mother Goddess cooperate with the Ancestor? The Church of the Earth has always had a tradition of letting vampires become priests, and they even gave me an invitation letter..."

Although he was a little confused about the situation, Emlyn was heartbroken.

He tidied up his test bench in a hurry, packed the dangerous items first, then locked the windows and drew the curtains tightly. Finally, he locked the door, put on a hat and scarf to cover his face, and jogged towards the Harvest Church.

Walking onto the relatively spacious streets in the East District, Emlyn keenly discovered that tonight seemed a little different from the past.

"Really!" The woman in the dirty dress took two hard breaths and said in surprise, "I don't cough anymore!"

Emlyn looked at her - oh, she was one of the patients with "Sequelae of the Great Smog" in this area.

In addition to those who died directly in the haze and in the following months, some mild patients who did not receive timely treatment had varying degrees of lesions in their lungs and throats. Emlyn knew the truth about the great smog. It was the extraordinary power of the "Despair Witch" demigod. It was not a simple disease or poisonous gas leak, so people who came to seek medicine were turned away.

He knew that he did not have the ability to cure this disease, and he did not want the church to discover his existence just because he saved some people.

According to Emlyn's prediction, even if Backlund's air quality improves now, it will be difficult for such people to survive this winter.

But now, the man is alive.

The trees were reborn and the air seemed less cold than before. There was a ragged homeless man on the roadside talking about various miracles such as "My waist suddenly stopped hurting" and "My broken leg suddenly grew back again". Emlyn pulled up his scarf while listening. As the people in the East District praised the miracle, he became more and more confused and excited, and he had the urge to puff up his chest unconsciously.

Is it the power of the Mother Goddess? Why did the Mother Goddess send miracles here?

Emlyn's pace involuntarily quickened. He held down his hat and trotted towards the location of the Harvest Church. When he walked onto the street and found an Extraordinary from the Church of Thunder wearing dark clerical robes walking towards him, he was even more shocked.

However, the other party did not notice him. Emlyn hid in the dark and observed for a moment, only to realize that the other party was actually commanding several "sailors" and "Wind Blessed Ones" to move in building materials, paint, and glass, and repair them on site. this church.

A piece of cloth was laminated, and the creepers and weeds growing on the wall were removed. The church gradually became what Emlyn remembered. It seemed that as long as he walked over and pushed open the two broken doors, he could once again see the giant bishop sitting in the front row praying. His back as generous as a hill could bring him an indescribable sense of security just like in the past. .

Emlyn's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He thought for a while, took out the mirror from his pocket and put on simple makeup. Then he lowered his voice and cautiously approached a "sailor" who was resting and asked:

"Sir, what are you doing?"

The sailor glanced at him in the dark. Sequence 9's night vision was limited. He couldn't see clearly whether he was a man or a woman. He only saw a well-dressed person. Such attire was not uncommon in the deep winter of Backlund. The sailor waved his hand casually:

"Rebuild this church."

Emlyn suppressed his excitement and asked, "Isn't this the former church of the Mother Earth Church? Why does it need to be rebuilt?"

The sailor who was taken out to work in the middle of the night was already a little impatient. He didn't answer, and was going to scold the other person directly. Then he stood up and sat in a different place, letting the person realize what he was doing and go away quickly. But when he saw those red eyes, his consciousness blurred unnoticeably for a moment, and he couldn't help but tell everything he knew about the situation:

"...The Harvest Church will be renovated, and there will be more churches of the Mother Earth Church in the future."

Ancestor! Emlyn's heart almost jumped out of his throat, as if his feet were stepping on cotton. He was dizzy and felt unbelievable at the same time:

"Why? Has the Church of the Earth Mother obtained the right to preach in Loen?"

The sailor nodded: "The Earth Mother Goddess and the Lord have become allies, and Fenebote may be able to join Loen."

After hearing the first sentence, Emlyn was still a little excited, but the second half of the sentence suddenly made him doubt his ears: Join Loen? How to join? Will it be joined by several counties like Lemberg, Sehgal and Massey? If this is the case, then rather than becoming an ally, it would be better to say that the Earth Mother Goddess joined the Thunder God. There is a huge difference between territorial annexation and exchange of missionary rights between allies!

"Are these true?" Emlyn raised his head and glanced up. Since there were many civilians who were awakened in the middle of the night and were watching the fun, the captain-like punishment agent had not noticed him yet.

"I heard it."

The sailor answered honestly, but it did not reassure Emlyn.

"The church has decided to cancel the previous wanted order against the cultists related to the Mother Earth Church." Sailor said, looking back at the Harvest Church that was being repaired. "It is said that the administrator of this church has been appointed by the superiors, who is the wanted criminal who escaped before. , called Emlyn White..."

…

"Mr. Bethel, do you want to attack Antigonus as well?"

"(Incomprehensible roar of the demon wolf)!!"

"Damn beast!"

Antigonus and the God of War struggled together, and Klein was talking to himself in his mind. The chaotic scene and the unconscious roars surrounded Bethel, making it difficult for Him to see and hear. Bethel took a deep breath and tried not to let his expression become so ferocious.

First of all, he really couldn't criticize a wolf that seemed to have little reason left but instinct and hatred. Antigonus didn't introduce himself as the Lord of Mysteries even if he tried hard. Secondly, he also knew that kid Klein. He is smart, but he can't do anything to help him at the moment. In the end, Bethel knows that they are in a hurry, and he should solve this matter in the same stable and efficient manner as before, so now he can't wait to find someone from his own records. The laser cannon came out and blew up the two things that were struggling together on the opposite side.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible?

Bethel immediately started flipping through the records.

The God of War is of the same rank as himself. Sequence 5 is a "guardian" who can withstand most damage and is difficult to be injured. There is no need to consider killing him with one blow for the time being, but if he can kill him with one shot, Antigonus might be able to kill him. Died first.

"Prioritize spiritual abilities..."

Bethel's eyes quickly passed over the "Psychic Storm", "Dragon's Breath", and "Dragon's Might and Shock" that once belonged to Adam. The King of Angels can have a certain impact on the True God, but it cannot be used as the main means of attack.

There is no need to regard Antigonus's "fooling" as part of the strategy. He will be successful if he does not hinder himself.

As for combat effectiveness, Bethel is much more relaxed. Perhaps there is nothing that cannot be solved by adding "Space Tear" plus "Red Priest's Beating" plus "Judge's Forbidden Movement" plus "Black Emperor's Bribery and Distortion". If so, then make another set.

No matter how much time we have spent together, no matter what we have experienced together, let alone friends, even if we are relatives or lovers, we must take action when it is time to take action in the battle for the top of the sequence. Going all out and not giving the opponent a chance to trick you or ridicule you is the attitude towards a war with the goal of becoming a god, and it is also a respect for the opponents who have made it all the way to this point.

What's more, Antigonus is completely out of the game under the current situation, and Bethel doesn't mind sending them both away together.

——The same goes for Klein. Bethel would not take the initiative to rob the Origin Castle and was willing to give Klein a chance to become a god and fight him equally. This was already the biggest concession. As for letting go, that is an insult to both parties.

So there are only two problems that can trouble him now, and that is:

"If Ares dies first, will Antigonus die contentedly, or will he lose all resistance and become mysterious?"

And: "If Antigonus died before seeing Ares die, would he have made a desperate move to unleash his mysterious will?"

Bethel does not think that it is wrong to be afraid of the existence of "mysteries" to some extent. On the contrary, it is the best thing to do to have the highest vigilance against the "initial consciousness" of this path.

Losing humanity is just the price of power. There is nothing difficult to understand. After all, you have to spend money to buy things.

It is true that everything has trade-offs. If it is really difficult to accept, you can not be promoted and just stay in the state you want.

From Bethel's perspective, humanity is just one of the costs of gaining strength and moving toward eternal life. The existence of the "Lord of Mysteries" is the only flaw in this fairly good deal. After all, until you become a demigod, no one will tell you that the "divinity" you acquire is actually part of the "will" of this path. By the time you know it, you have become one with a part of the Lord of Mysteries.

Why does this guy exist?

The existence of "original will" seems to be an unshakable mountain, telling you that it is not you who gets the power, but you temporarily borrow the power of someone, and you will eventually become the food of those guys. Although Bethel did not feel that becoming someone in the end meant that all his efforts were meaningless, or that he was seeking death on his own initiative, mortals and angels fought for power and divine status to the end, but they all became people in the darkness. The drama for the eyes, it was impossible not to displease Bethel.

He originally planned to use the mysterious Western Continent technique he had just learned to throw the God of War to the Eastern Continent and throw him in front of God, but he had to stop because of the sudden intervention of Antigonus.

Just kidding, if Antigonus ran away with his uniqueness and sequence, then his side would really suffer.

"It would be nice if I could negotiate with Him."

Thinking about not affecting Bethel's actions, He stepped back a little expressionlessly, opened the door in front of him, and then threw a set of prepared combos directly through the door onto the entangled God of War and Antigonus.

Suddenly, the special effects of extraordinary power overwhelmed them both.

There was a shocking loud noise from Calderon, as if five or even four gods were fighting each other.

…

Benson Moretti pressed his temples and got out of the car first, then turned around, took his sister's hand and brought her out too.

No one spoke to them along the way, and there was almost no light in the carriage. No outside sounds could be heard. The dull silence made people feel strongly uneasy. Only bumps and the sound of hooves ahead let them know they were still on the road.

Benson thought he would be taken to a place like MI9, after all, Crane was involved in subverting the country.

But he didn't expect that when he got out of the car, what came into view was the Holy Wind Cathedral in Backlund.

The flags with the Holy Emblem fluttered, and the faint sound of prayers and wind came from high places. This grand building made of blue, white and black, the former Holy See of the Church of Storms, welcomed two people for the first time. Common people who believe in the goddess of the night.

Benson was a little sluggish. He didn't know whether he should step in or not. Melissa was even more sluggish. She vaguely remembered that there were rumors that women could not enter the Church of the God of Thunder. Although there did not seem to be such a rule, the Church of Thunder had always respected women as "angels of the family" and did not support them going out to work. Therefore, of course, women who believe in Thunder rarely appear in churches.

As she feared, the punisher's eyes stayed on Melissa for a while longer, and finally waved his hand:

"You guys go in together and follow me."

"...Where are we going?" Benson tightened Melissa's hand.

As a civilian who does not believe in the God of Thunder and Truth, before entering this tall and magnificent building, he inevitably felt panic and fear, as if the gods were watching him, as if his behavior was tantamount to blaspheming the two gods. .

"Go to the prayer room."

The punisher said succinctly: "We will provide you with an honorable name, and then you pray to that honorable name."

"But - we can't pray to evil gods other than the righteous gods. This will lead to misfortune!" Benson couldn't help but said, "I am not a person involved, let alone a suspect. You can't use such a simple and crude way to imprison us." To use it as bait is irresponsible for our lives!"

"Mr. Moretti, put away your rhetoric."

The Punisher shrugged indifferently. He turned and walked forward. Benson was still hesitating when he suddenly felt the wind blowing from all directions, making his and Melissa's clothes rustle. He could hardly open his eyes. . The wind turned into invisible hands and pushed their backs, causing them to involuntarily follow the footsteps of the punisher.

"You may not be able to imagine what your brother Klein Moretti came into contact with and what he participated in-so, from now on, you and your sister will see another world."

"What are you talking about?!" Benson awkwardly held Melissa in his arms and shouted loudly, "If you can ensure the safety of my sister, then I am willing to use it as a bait to pray to the unknown evil god!"

"It's not my decision." The punisher shrugged.

After staggering for a while, Benson and Melissa suddenly felt that the wind pushing them forward stopped. Then, a holy symbol appeared in front of them, consisting of thunder, waves and a tower. The holy symbol of the God of Thunder and Truth.

"Please pray to the Holy Symbol of the Lord."

The Punisher said as he handed a piece of paper to Benson.

Amid the overwhelming feeling of oppression, Benson took the note with slightly trembling hands and saw a few prayer sentences written on it in Rune language.

"The Beloved of Knowledge and the Spiritual World"

"The Savior of Silver City and Moon City"

"Miracle Master Klein Moretti"

…

The Demon of Knowledge is thinking about Shen Sheng:

"The prophecy shows that if there is no intervention, the God of Thunder will take over the entire northern continent except Intis. Although this behavior cannot be said to be of much help to his state, it can at least add a lot to me. trouble."

"While I have no interest in gaining followers or land here, I also don't want to watch Him become more and more difficult."

"Maybe I should consider tearing off the 'omniscient' from this guy as soon as possible. I don't know how integrated it is."

"Judging from His current performance, on the one hand, He uses his own power to oppress and force others to become His followers and subordinates, and wants to use more anchors to stabilize the state. On the other hand, He uses his two authorities more and more. It's getting easier and easier, and it's probably getting closer to God. He is just the God of Thunder, but he hates God subjectively. I don't know what his future choices will be..."

"Cline Moretti's character advantage has been revealed a little more. He has a relatively simple sense of morality and cannot accept such behavior. He has made up his mind to fight against the God of Thunder, but he still lacks a piece of success. The element of God…”

After the demon of knowledge finished speaking, there was no response for several seconds.

The Demon of Knowledge turned around and saw that Edward was already lying on the recliner that had been taken out at some point. He was wearing an eye mask with an abstract stick figure eye, his hands folded on his chest, and he was sleeping peacefully. Woke up.

"How do you sell your share of Secret Waiter?"

Edward remained motionless.

"The God of Death will rush over to hit you later." The Demon of Knowledge said, "Do you accept this development?"

Edward lifted one corner of his blindfold, with a bright smile on his face:

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Were you talking to me just now? It's been too long and I almost fell asleep. Is there anything I, a little devil, can do for you?"

"I only have one problem, you know."

"Well... to be honest, I'd rather have that thing fall into my hands." Edward laughed, "But a devil also has to have a more forward-looking investment vision, right? So I'm thinking about whether I can invest that thing directly in Go into the river of eternal darkness.”

"You're kidding, I'm also making second-hand plans."

"Your second-hand plan is to say that you are running around and causing trouble for me?" The Demon of Knowledge crossed his arms, "Frank Lee just said loudly in the church that he wanted to thank me for his kindness and that he wanted to give me Providing more outstanding crops, I did some divination, and found out that it was your half-dressed one wandering around in Cattleya's fleet as me."

Edward looked at the sky: "He pretended that you were in charge of my business, but it was not my instigation."

"Stop talking." The Demon of Knowledge said, "Does his appearance mean that you also want to get involved with the Lord of Mysteries? But you have used the moon and Adam to make deals with me before, why do you want to do this again? Let another one of you come into contact with Klein Moretti? Do you want to break the contract?"

"No." Edward said decisively, "I am a devil with business ethics, how could I not believe you? I am afraid that you will be beaten to death by God before the day when the Eastern Continent is opened."

"..."

The Demon of Knowledge looked at him: "It seems that you are planning to let you play the bad role to the end."

"In this case, you might as well let your half body participate in Klein's god-making ceremony later and provide him with assistance. Then maybe Klein won't let you become the second djinn god."
