Chapter 774 - 130: Edge
Bright lights.
A dark red velvet cushion was laid on the long brown wooden table, with Kasmin, Nobu, and Weilian sitting on either side of it.
Weilian left Sindaga as soon as it fell, retreating back to Maelon.
"A Divine Spirit descended upon the southern central city of Sindaga, and almost everyone within the area has died, transforming into a Divine Country, shrouded by thick black fog," Weilian said with a grave expression.
If the Horror Ghost Ship had not been far from the shore at that time, they might not have escaped either.
Kasmin wasn’t too surprised, having received the news in advance, and said solemnly, "I thought Maelon was already tragic enough, but I didn’t expect Sindaga to be completely gone."
"Was Liu Luola also in Sindaga at that time? Where is she now?"
Nobu replied, "The Great Sect Leader is still alive, but we don’t know exactly where."
As the High Priest of the All Beings Sect, he had a direct connection of faith with Su Changxing. If Su Changxing had died, that connection would have been severed.
Kasmin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if someone was missing, "Where did Mike go? Wasn’t he supposed to discuss things with us?"
Nobu thought for a moment and said, "Something urgent came up. It’s said that they found traces of a Divine Spirit in the Upper New District."
Kasmin showed extreme vigilance, slamming the table heavily with her palm, full of anger, "Persistent spirits! Do they want to destroy Maelon too?"
The Empire is now a chaotic mess, with a plague epidemic raging in the south, Wodan’s coup, Maelon’s massacre, and Sindaga being destroyed entirely.
She forced herself to calm down and said, "That area is full of nobility, could someone be hiding ancient relics?"
Nobu nodded, "Probably, and it seems to be related to the Marquis. We can feel the power of other Divine Spirits through the idols, and the fluctuations are very obvious coming from that direction."
...
Mike led the All Beings Sect and the City Guard to surround the Duke’s mansion, sealing off nearby streets.
Mike wore the distinctive white and gold-edged priest’s robe of a High Priest, adorned with a swirling cloak identical to the one on the idol.
As Mike and the others arrived, Marquis Koles quickly came out to greet them, his old face betraying no emotion, instead asking in confusion:
"Why does the High Priest surround us with so many people? Is there something going on?"
As he spoke.
His expression changed, becoming exceedingly angry, "You should know, even the Empress cannot directly order the death of a Marquis without reason."
"Your unauthorized blockade of a noble’s residence is a trampling of dignity."
Mike’s dark face was full of smiles, his wrinkles more pronounced, "The matter of Sindaga, the Marquis should be aware, anyone connected to an Evil God is sentenced to death."
Seeing Mike’s calm demeanor made Koles lose confidence, for if there were truly no connection, there was nothing to fear, but the concern lay in there being a connection.
Not long ago, there were disturbances coming from the basement of the study, as if someone had entered, and he suspected it was his eldest son, Gred.
Just as he was about to check what had happened, Mike had arrived with his people.
Everything was very coincidental.
Koles was also anxious.
Could there really be a connection to a Divine Spirit?
He had initially held a lucky mindset, believing their family heirloom sword wouldn’t have any issues.
Before the Sindaga incident, he might have had some grounds to argue, but now he had none.
After all, all of Sindaga was completely obliterated by a Divine Spirit.
In this situation.
Even if he had no connection to a Divine Spirit, if Mike accused him, he would immediately become someone everyone would want to attack, and he might not be able to stay in Maelon at all.
Mike took two steps inside, but Koles wouldn’t let him by any means.
Koles knew that today he absolutely couldn’t let Mike search, or else something would definitely be found, and then everything would be over.
Mike’s smile grew deeper, speaking unhurriedly, "What is it, Marquis? Won’t you let me in?"
Koles stubbornly said, "Let the Princess come, your All Beings Sect can’t control me."
Mike reached into his large robe, shaking his head, "That might not be true, Marquis, you are a believer of the All Beings Sect, and... the sky over Maelon has already changed."
Under Koles’ dazed gaze, Mike drew a strange silver-white, ornately patterned firearm from his robe.
With a feather-like white light, Koles stood frozen in place, a bullet grazing his ear, drawing blood.
Mike’s target wasn’t him.
"Gred?"
He turned to see his eldest son Gred standing not far away, holding that pitch-black longsword, his face pale, his body grotesquely growing to over three meters, obviously highly abnormal.
Mike’s bullet hit Gred’s forehead, leaving a finger-sized bullet hole, with no blood oozing out.
Immediately.
A dazzling white light shone from the pitch-dark bullet hole, and with a bang, Gred’s head exploded like a watermelon hitting the ground, instantly bursting, becoming countless pieces of flesh and bone fragments.
Gred’s body remained standing, unmoving, evidently heavily damaged by Mike’s attack, his body beginning to mutate, turning into a puddle of sludge from the soles of his feet.
Mike pushed Koles aside, striding forward while continuing to fire, each bullet carrying a holy white light, bursting with astounding power.
A total of five shots.
Gred’s body turned into a pile of minced meat, with no room for resistance left.
The pitch-black longsword also lay to one side, glowing with an unusual luster under the moonlight.
Now.
The entire Maelon is composed of All Beings Sect believers, gathering a massive amount of faith.
Here, as the High Priest, his combat power would be astonishingly enhanced.
Seeing Gred dead, Koles lost control: "You killed him! He was my only son! How dare you!"
Mike looked at Gred’s mutated corpse, then turned to Koles, raised his gun, and decisively pulled the trigger.
Bang~
In Koles’ eyes filled with disbelief, the bullet pierced through his forehead.
He fell backward, the back of his head hit the ground heavily, splattering blood.
Not completely dead yet.
Then heard Mike say to the people behind him: "Everyone here has been influenced by the Divine Spirit, they will all transform into monsters, kill them all, leave no one alive!"
This was not Mike taking revenge, nor did he have any grudge with the Marquis.
It’s just that.
He also couldn’t tell if Koles was influenced by the Divine Spirit.
So he had to kill him.
This was also the policy given by Su Changxing when he left, better to kill by mistake than to let go, send all the suspicious into Hell, Maelon will always be a paradise.
There was not much ripple either, everyone in the Marquis’ mansion was executed silently in such a night.
Many people didn’t even know about this for days afterward.
...
Faith is a mysterious thing, capable of easily crossing the barriers of the world, transmitting from the void, as if it inherently conforms to some basic rule.
Su Changxing can still feel it in the Ninth Dimension, faith keeps growing, and because of this, the Mysteriousness keeps growing.
After they arrived here, the Mysteriousness surpassed a million.
This was even while he constantly used faith to wash his soul.
"Titan Insect Race?"
"Why does the Titan Insect Race exist here, could it be the Titan Insect Race destroyed the Ninth Dimension?"
Kelsey pressed the pink tentacle to the ground with one hand, saying in amazement.
Mi sat on the ground, biting a large leg of meat, and said, "Not too sure, the Titan Insect Race is chaotic life, long since excluded from the Doomsday Game, living on the edge of the void, that place is also called the Marginal World."
"Just like us Titan Humans, they are races born in the same period, but they disappeared very early."
The Titan Insect Race destroyed the Ninth Dimension?
This thought kept swirling in Su Changxing’s mind.
Moreover, it seems that a war happened in the Ninth Dimension, most likely triggered by the Titan Insect Race.
A rustling sound came from the sand.
"It’s those insects again."
Su Changxing reminded, shooting at the ground through the thick sand, making metallic clashing sounds and screams from the Ghost Vein.
Mi didn’t move, still biting the meat leg, manipulating the nine tentacles behind him to drill underground.
The other people were also adeptly dealing with the attacking Ghost Vein.
Along the way, large groups of Ghost Veins kept attacking, without any pattern.
These Titan Insects were also in a disorganized state, living in the wild like insects.
"They lost contact with the mother insect, as low-sequence insects, they don’t possess high intelligence, only just enough to execute orders." Mi assessed.
Su Changxing opened six eyes on his face, looking straight ahead: "We’re approaching the edge of this space fragment, it could be very dangerous, be prepared."
Although this is just a space fragment of the Ninth Dimension, it’s vast beyond imagination.
It’s just that.
They were just at the edge of this space fragment, so they came over quickly.
"You can see the space structure here?" Mi showed a look of surprise, sensing changes in space and directly seeing the space structure are two different concepts.
One is like hearing a recount, the other is seeing directly with eyes.
Su Changxing nodded and said: "Yes, but I can only see a rough outline, it’s very blurry, the space here is extremely thick and complex."
Here, the temperature dropped drastically, Su Changxing also felt cold, Kelsey was shivering while hugging his tentacle.
"It’s warm, this thing seems to still have some use."
After a long fight, the tentacle that grew out of his hand finally quieted down a bit.
It seemed to have been tamed by him.
Just as he was saying this, with a slap, the tentacle on his left side left a red mark on his face again.
"I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to fight you to death!"
Kelsey shouted, pulling out a thin, long thrusting sword from his waist.
Suddenly.
The tentacle, while swinging, seemed to hit something sharp and with a snap, broke off, spattering a lot of bright red blood.
Kelsey also spat a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.
