Chapter 140 The Final Battle (Part 2)
Following Huo Chao back then, Jiang Ci became the second person to mark the Holy White Tower in an attempt to kill the Pope.
"Damn it, the barrier is clearly not broken, how on earth did he get in?!!"
At this moment, Mandela's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.Because the church's army suffered heavy losses in the Holy Dew Star, this time they invaded the capital, almost all the remaining combat forces were dispatched, including most of the garrison inside the Holy White Tower.Because everyone thinks that as long as the defensive barrier is turned on, no one can break in.
This also led to the fact that the current guarding force in the White Tower can be said to be the weakest in history. Only Mandela and one or two bishops are the only ones with real strength.
"Sir Elder, all the guards and guarding believers have been sent, but it seems they can't stop it."
The man's expression was extremely ugly.
"Damn it, how could a mere omega..."
As we all know, omegas are naturally delicate, like flowers kept in a greenhouse.When Huo Chao was able to fight all the way up, it was because he was an S-level alpha, the strongest combat power among humans that the Illusion God Cult devoted all their efforts to cultivating.
It is a matter of course that His Highness the Son of God is invincible and unstoppable.
But Jiang Ci is an omega, and in the eyes of the Huan Shen Cult, he is just like Bai Min. In addition to being a fertility tool, it is also the weakness that they use to exploit and attack Pei Changyun and Zhou Jiuya.
So when they first heard that Jiang Ci was alive and well, the church was most outraged not that he was alive, but that He Qichu, who had fled the church, was still alive.Therefore, the church did not immediately kill Jiang Ci, but killed He Qichu's entire family at all costs.Similarly, in the subsequent kidnapping case, the Pope's order was to keep Jiang Ci alive.
——Because they still need this weakness.
After all, omegas can do nothing but reproduce.And Jiang Ci's identity, as a being that too many people want to protect, is the best attack point for the Huan Shen Cult.
But now no one thought that an omega who had always been regarded as a weakness and a fertility tool would actually break into the so-called "absolute defense" barrier outside and dare to kill the Holy Miracle Bai just like Huo Chao did in the past.Tower, no one can stop it yet?!!
This is simply a fantasy!
For the Illusion God Cult, being invaded by an omega and still not being able to stop it is simply a huge joke and the greatest humiliation!
At this moment, Mandela's facial muscles were twitching.
"Now that Pei Changyun's death is approaching, and the king insect is also under our control, Zhou Jiuya is not afraid..."
He was condescending and stared coldly at Jiang Ci below, every word tinged with blood.
"There is no need to keep Jiang Jinsheng's son."
However, just when Mandela was about to take action personally, a believer ran over in a panic.
"Man...Elder Mandela, Archbishop Leinster seems to be still in the White Tower."
"What?!"
Mandela was startled, his face gloomy,
"Shouldn't he be outside directing operations at this time?!"
"No, I don't know..."
The believers were trembling,
"When we were investigating the surveillance just now, someone said they saw Lord Leinster...seemingly going to the Discipline Hall."
"Fuck @#￥!"
Mandela immediately contacted Leinster and found that he was rejected.He cursed and immediately turned around and strode towards the Discipline Hall.
"Tell the people at the Stigmata Research Institute to release that woman Cecilia first. Everyone must kill the intruder at all costs!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the entire Holy White Tower was in chaos and bloody chaos.A group of believers were trembling with fear. They stared at the corpses lying scattered below, and they began to have the idea of escape.
This scene is very similar to the time when His Highness Huo Chao came to kill him, but now this terrifying omega intruder is very similar to the clone of the pope who escaped from prison two months ago and injured him.
No one can stop him.
"Is this guy... really an omega?"
Is it really an omega who can only live in a greenhouse and be pampered and used as a reproductive tool?
How can an omega be so powerful?!!
"Even Lady Cecilia, it's impossible..."
Although Cecilia is also an omega, it is because she has the stigmata. Even His Highness the Son of God was so powerful because of the stigmata.
But this intruder did not.
"Even if the saint's genes were superior at the beginning, isn't Jiang Jinsheng just a B-level alpha? How could it be..."
In this world where genes and gender determine destiny, Bai Min, as an S-level omega, combined with B-level Jiang Jinsheng. In the eyes of the Huan Shen Cult, the most superior genes were contaminated.
And how could a descendant born after being contaminated by a B-level gene be stronger than his mother?!!
Jiang Ci raised his eyes coldly, his bright pupils so dark that they were almost bleeding.Half of his body was dyed red and soaked, as if he had been thrown out of hell.He felt no tiredness, no pain, not even tears.
At this moment, Jiang Ci seemed to have finally bid farewell to the self that could only cry helplessly. Now he only needs to look at the top floor and Huo Xianfeng there, and it seems as if infinite power is pouring out.
At this moment, Jiang Ci suddenly noticed a sign of extreme danger. He turned back sharply and blocked it with his sword.
boom!
The blade shook heavily, he twisted it with his backhand, and shot it towards the opponent the moment he was knocked back.The next second, a flash of snow flashed across Jiang Ci's palm, and the spear instantly pierced the side wall, creating a ten-meter-long gap.
Then, among the blood that exploded due to the stabbing of the short knife, a figure slowly walked out.The strange and weird figure went from distortion to clarity, and was gradually reflected in Jiang Ci's pupils.
He saw——
A monster with long pink hair.
Jiang Ci was stunned, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make a little breathy sound.
"Cesci...Lea..."
It’s just that Cecilia can no longer be called a human being.The left half of her body was pinned to the wall by the short knife, but the flesh and blood around her was torn and twisted, and countless bloody and sticky huge tentacles were extending from it.
She screamed in pain, but the sound she made was not very human. Even the believers standing far away couldn't help but cover their ears.
[Cecilia should not survive.]
At this moment, Jiang Ci seemed to hear He Zhun's gloomy and sad voice again.
The next second, Cecilia tore off a large piece of flesh and blood, broke free from the short knife, and rushed towards Jiang Ci like a monster in a horror movie.
The latter tightened his knuckles silently, drew his spear with no expression on his face, made a neat and beautiful wreath with his backhand, and swept directly in front of him.In an instant, several bloody tentacles were stretched out and cut off.
The silver gun pulled out countless crackling blue electric lights, and even the broken parts suddenly exploded into countless charred pieces.
Cecilia's body was already at the end of its strength. She was just a puppet forcibly dragged up by the stigmata. There were no so-called moves to attack. She was like an insane and scarred beast, only capable of the most instinctive actions.Bite.So it was no surprise that he was directly suppressed by Jiang Ci from the beginning.
"Isn't Elder Mandela back yet?"
Researchers from the Stigma Research Institute stood above and watched the battle. They were holding an electronic board in their hands. The densely packed data indicators on it were quickly marked red. Everyone looked anxious.
"This, this can't last much longer-"
Before he finished speaking, a short knife suddenly shot straight from below and pierced the electronic board, then stabbed the researcher's throat to pieces.
boom
A body fell to the ground.
Jiang Ci stared coldly at the group of people above with horror on their faces, and quickly ran away like birds and beasts.He didn't chase her, but turned around and saw the woman's broken body also lying on the ground.It was obvious that she was just a tool used by Mandela to buy time.
Cecilia gradually regained consciousness.She finally figured it out now.
Why did she initially persuade Bai Min to stay in the Huan Shen Cult so that she could live a good life?But the other party was in so much pain that he would not compromise even to death.
It turns out that the feeling of being controlled by others, harmed arbitrarily, and manipulated arbitrarily is like this...
It turns out that life is worse than death...
Cecilia finally understood——
Bai Min can become a saint and have such a high status. It seems that she and Huo Chao are the so-called beloved children of the Pope.But that's just because she is an S-class omega, just a fertility tool.
So when Bai Min and Jiang Jinsheng were united, her role as a fertility tool was gone, so she was destined to die.At that time, the Pope injected the Holy Mark into Bai Min, but it was just...deliberate torture.The more she tried to escape, the more she had to be caught and imprisoned.
The Pope deliberately used such a cruel and cruel way to express warning, intimidation, and declare that his authority was unshakable.I cherish my mouth and my mouth is full of beetles.
Cecilia suddenly understood——
The moment the stigmata was injected into her body, Bai Min's body became Jiang Ci's prison. The only way she could escape and free herself and her children was to die.
despair.
Jiang Ci stepped on the blood on the ground and walked towards Cecilia. He saw her body twitching and large mouthfuls of blood gushing out from her mouth and nose.But those pink eyes were looking at him and shouting vaguely,
"porcelain……"
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, walked over and squatted next to her,
"Um."
But when Jiang Ci listened carefully to her words, he realized that Cecilia was not calling her name.
"Mingmin said...said that porcelain is not fragile...it can only be kept in a display window...beautiful craftsmanship to be admired..."
[Mingmin, why do you like porcelain so much?]
Cecilia didn't understand it in the past, because many omegas like beautiful and precious gems, pearls, crystals and other things. Those are much more beautiful and precious than porcelain made from clay.
Bai Min's answer later made her remember it for a long time.And now, she is telling these words to Bai Min's children,
[It takes a long, long time of high-temperature fire refining to achieve the most beautiful appearance.]
"It takes... a long, long time of fire to refine... into the most beautiful appearance..."
[My Ah Ci will be like this in the future.]
"Ah Ci will be like this in the future..."
"..."
Jiang Ci was stunned.
So that's it.
It turns out that his name is such a beautiful wish.
At this time, Cecilia's eyes were covered with blood and tears. In her blurred vision, she seemed to see Jiang Ci's face transforming into that of her beloved Saint.She wanted to touch her face, but there was no way.
"Mingming...Mingming, Leah misses you so much..."
Tears diluted the blood, so big pink tears fell from the corners of her eyes,
"I'll come to see you right away..."
Jiang Ci closed his eyes and slowly raised Cheng Yue's mimicry spear.
"I'm sorry...but it won't hurt soon."
In the end, Jiang Ci used this weapon that once belonged to his mother to end Cecilia's pain.
She could only escape by dying.
"That traitor Cecilia is destined to die."
At the same moment, in the Discipline Hall.
Cecilia's ending also appeared in the man's mouth.
Leinster, who was supposed to be commanding on the battlefield, appeared in the Discipline Hall.
"The Pope has known about it for a long time. He knew that she deliberately reported it to save Bai Min, but he still spared the woman's life just because she was still useful."
Leinster has known this for a long time.He looked down at the young man kneeling on the ground and mocked,
"Kid, I told you, don't get close to that woman, and don't appear in the sight of the Pope. But you always have to go to a dead end."
Leinster looked reckless and looked like he was just a muscular alpha who only knew how to use force. However, he had stayed in the Illusion God Cult for more than three hundred years and still stood firm, relying on more than just his muscles.
He knows many, many secrets and can see through many people's thoughts, but he just doesn't bother to talk about them.
For example, the Pope knew that Cecilia loved Bai Min, and also knew that He Zhun had bad intentions, but the reason why he kept the former and wanted to get rid of the latter was just because He Zhun was of no use to him and was only a threat, while Cecilia was notLikewise, she is the only person in the church who is likely to gain some of Pei Changyun's trust.
The woman was just a spare dagger, so she was reluctantly left behind.Therefore, Huo Chao's clone seemed top secret and important, and was specifically targeted at Pei Changyun's mission. Even if Leinster was not punished for failing the mission, the Pope would definitely hand it over to Cecilia.
And after the last effect is drained out, Cecilia will die.
At this moment, He Zhun's whole body was locked and he was kneeling on the ground.After he was rescued by the soldiers, he should have been taken back to the Academy of Sciences and continued to be locked up. However, people from the church suddenly appeared and kidnapped him. The optical brain was also destroyed, and he had not yet decrypted the last bit of the content.He was taken back to the Discipline Hall of the Holy White Tower. He Zhun had always known this place. It was the place where all kinds of terrible punishments, including the death penalty, were carried out.Many believers who have made mistakes will not survive long after they come out.
His hands, feet, and neck were now chained, and his hands were raised, as if he were a prisoner about to be executed.
This is actually true.
He already knew just now that the Pope had issued an order to execute him, probably because he was afraid that his father had made medicine to suppress the stigmata, so the other party even asked Elder Mandela to execute him personally.
The Pope wanted to kill him, which was expected by He Zhun, but the last trick he had hidden was there, so there was still room for change.
He Zhun's eyes darkened. He couldn't die here. He noticed the hot signal at his elbow, which meant that Jiang Ci was very close. Even the chaos outside was almost entirely caused by Jiang Ci.
So the only thing he needs to do now is to buy time. At least before he dies, he must find a way to meet Jiang Ci and pass on the information.At this time, the young man raised his head and looked at Leinster standing in front of him.The other party let out a cold sneer,
"You are about to die now. Do you feel regretful? Do you want to ask me to save you?"
"..."
He Zhun was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Everyone chooses his own path. My path is my choice. Leinster's is your path. Your deal with the devil, the Illusory God Cult, wasn't it also your choice?"
He raised his head and looked at the tall and dangerous alpha, with a hint of mockery in his tone.He spent more than ten years getting to know Leinster, his past, his character, his likes and dislikes, everything about him.
So he knew about the devil's deal between Leinster and the Illusion God Religion.
Leinster's life is a bit like Ye Shu, but also a bit like He Zhun.
Like Ye Shu, Leinster, as an S-class alpha, originally came from a privileged background, but his family was ruined due to persecution by a high-ranking alliance official.And like He Zhun, they also took the initiative to enter the Huan Shen Cult for the sake of survival and revenge.
It's just that Ye Shu was luckier. He met Huo Chao who joined the army a little later.But Leinster was unlucky, he failed to meet Huo Chao later.At that time, the Illusion God Cult recruited all kinds of children with high talent levels in the name of the academy across the entire alliance.Leinster is an S-class alpha, so he easily entered the interior and became a key target for training.
The difference between Leinster and He Zhun lies in gender and class.The former is an alpha, and a very talented alpha.Therefore, he can rely on his own strength to fight his way out.But He Zhun is a beta. He has no talent in matters such as fighting and violence, so he can only rely on his brain, body, and others.
The Cult of Illusion, the Legion of Dawn, the Empire, and the Zerg are like three social forms with different governance structures.
The Zerg are genetically programmed. Whether they are low-level Zerg or high-level Zerg, they are born to love the king deeply and will protect the king at all costs and execute all the other party's orders.Therefore, the entire Zerg race would not hesitate to travel billions of light years to seek revenge, and the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, countless advanced Zerg races would be willing to sacrifice themselves.
Huo Chao and Pei Changyun's Dawn Legion and Empire are the most traditional ways of leadership in human society, including political means, leader prestige, personal charisma, etc., many, many complicated things.
So some are loyal, some love, some hate, and some discredit.
The way the pope controls his subordinates is to use the stigmata. This disgusting tool is used to strangle everyone by the throat and force them to obey.So he can't get the heartfelt loyalty from anyone.
There is only hatred, only fear, only necessity.
Leinster was one of them, but he only felt that this was a deal with the devil. After he gained power from the Illusion God Cult, he had to pay hundreds of years of freedom to become a tool of this absurd church.
fair enough.
Until this moment He Zhun asked him,
"Leinster, so do you regret it now?"
"..."
Leinster stared at him condescendingly for a few seconds. He did not answer the question. He just grinned and let out a few chuckles.
"He Zhun, anyone who betrays the church will die in the hands of the Pope. For example, Huo Chao, Bai Min, Jiang Jinsheng, Cecilia who has turned into a monster outside... Oh yes, and your father He Qichu."
"——Including you?"
He Zhun didn't show any other emotions because of his father's name. He just looked up and looked steadily at Leinster's gray eyes and asked again,
"Does that include you, Leinster, who came to see me against the Pope's orders?"
"..."
The smile on the man's face suddenly faded. After a while, he said coldly,
"Of course not!"
He knelt down and pinched He Zhun's chin.
"Don't you know why I came here? He Zhun. I'm just here for the potion you said can remove the stigma."
"Ok, I know."
He Zhun nodded calmly,
"For so many years, I have just been your pet and your bed partner to vent your desires. If it weren't for this reason, how could you disobey the Pope's order and come to see me. Right, Leinster?"
"..."
The man's face darkened.
boom!
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open from the outside.
"Leinster!"
An angry Mandela strode in with a group of believers.
"you……"
"Ah, Elder Mandela."
Leinster turned around and interrupted him directly.
"I heard that someone invaded the White Tower of Holy Relics. Elder Mandela didn't go to eliminate the intruders. Why are they here?"
Mandela was angry,
"Should I ask you this, Leinster?"
"Leinster, aren't you curious about why every child with superior genetic qualifications selected by the church has a tragic life experience?"
He Zhun's voice suddenly came from behind Leinster,
"No matter what gender they are, S-class children are only one in a million, and they usually come from either aristocratic or wealthy backgrounds. Why do so many children suffer from various family changes at the same time and have to be forced to join the family?Where is the missionary college?”
"Full of nonsense!!!"
Mandela's face darkened, and he drew his gun and pointed it at He Zhun's head.
boom!
The sound of gunshots and the sound of fists hitting human bodies sounded at the same time.
The light bullet missed the target and hit the iron chain on He Zhun's left wrist, breaking it. His wrist bones were shocked and numb. Then he quickly pulled out a very mini decoding needle from the sole of his shoe and quickly pierced the iron chain on his right wrist.middle.
Knock!
Unlocked successfully.
He Zhun quickly took out the anesthetic gun from the inside of his sleeve.Fortunately, when he was captured, those people were very anxious and only locked his hands and feet and took him directly back to the Discipline Hall, so there was no body search.
On the other side, Leinster quickly twisted the muzzle of his gun and hit the believers behind with the remaining bullets.Mandela didn't expect that Leinster would dare to do this. He was extremely angry and directly unfolded the mecha's mimic weapon and slashed out with his horizontal claws.
Leinster retreated instantly. He looked down and saw the deep wound on his chest. For a moment, he could even see the white flesh inside. The blood that then poured out covered the hideous wound.If it had been any later, the other party might have just gouged out his heart.But at this time, Stigma had quickly begun to repair the wound.
The two men immediately fought together.Leinster's combat power is slightly inferior to Mandela's, and in such a narrow space, he cannot gain the upper hand.In just a few minutes of fighting, the red-gold stigma in Mandela's body suddenly penetrated Leinster's abdomen.
The next second, the golden holy mark that was repairing the wound suddenly stopped as if it was suppressed by something.Leinster was suddenly startled, and all his movements froze instantly as if the pause button had been pressed. An extremely painful look appeared on his face uncontrollably.
"Leinster! Do you want to betray the church?! The consequences of disobeying the Pope's orders..."
Before Mandela finished his angry rebuke, he suddenly noticed something flying from the side and smashed it with his backhand.The sky-wide blue mist disperses in the space.
"If this fate is caused by the stigmata, I'm sorry, but I have already made a potion that can remove the stigmata."
He Zhun was breathing rapidly. He held a tube of blue reagent in his hand and waved it in front of their eyes.
"Leinster, isn't that why you came to save me?"
Of course it was not done. The information that He Zhun decrypted and left behind by his father was only part of the potion that he gave Huo Chao to suppress the stigma. And the medicine he has in his hand now is of course not a drug that can suppress the stigma. It is just a kind of medicine.It's just an enhanced anesthetic.
When He Zhun's words came out, everyone present looked horrified.Even Mandela and Leinster, who were in the middle of the fight, were stunned.
The significance of the stigmata is too important to the Illusion God Religion.Just like the steel frame and cement in a high-rise building, as soon as it is demolished, the whole building will collapse and shatter.
Mandela reacted first and nailed Leinster to the wall with a Stigma blow.Then without thinking, he rushed towards He Zhun.
Regardless of whether what He Zhun said is true or false, this person can no longer stay!!!
He Zhun stood there, covering his mouth and nose, showing no intention of hiding.In his dilated pupils, in addition to the metal claws approaching in front of him, there was also the silver gun approaching from behind.
Mandela immediately noticed something and immediately went back to defense, but due to the anesthetic fog just now, his movements were a little sluggish.
Phew——!
It's the sound of a sharp weapon piercing a human body.
A silver gun was seen piercing the side of Mandela's neck from behind where it connected to his collarbone, and then he was thrown away with a violent swing.Mandela followed Leinster with a bang and hit the wall.
Seeing that He Zhun was safe, Jiang Ci breathed a sigh of relief.Thanks to the anesthetic mist, the believers at the door didn't even have time to react, and they fell straight away.And Jiang Ci was able to rush in in time.He closed the door and locked it, blocking out all the pursuers outside.
Jiang Ci didn't ask any more questions. He just stood in front of He Zhun and threw him the short knife. At the same time, he turned back and gave him a questioning look.
He heard what He Zhun shouted just now, so this action now was asking him if he had really found a way to remove the stigmata.If He Zhun just deceived the other party and Jiang Ci asked directly, it would be exposed.So I can only ask with eyes.
He Zhun caught the knife with a "pop", and his wrist immediately sank under the weight of his hand. However, when he met Jiang Ci's eyes, he immediately understood what the other party was asking, so he quickly answered,
"I need a light brain!"
Optical brain?
Jiang Ci frowned, then threw the black ring in his hand to him.
——That is the Forbidden Abyss.
The external machine of the forbidden abyss was damaged and the energy was low, but after a data analysis, there was still no problem.
At this moment, Mandela covered the side of his neck, half of his body stained red with blood. His eyes were sinister, and he rushed over in the next second.Jiang Ci's silver gun turned and faced Mandela's attack.
at the same time.He Zhun put the knife at his side and caught Jin Yuan.He didn't care about the three people fighting on the other side and turned on the light brain directly.As a researcher who often works in the center of bloody battlefields, He Zhun has been able to ignore any dangerous situations and concentrate on his work.
"Hey, hello, Xiaohe?"
Jin Yuan projected a virtual keyboard and screen to him.
"...Hello, I'm sorry."
He Zhun closed his eyes, quickly recalled the last small part of the book, and then quickly entered the forbidden abyss for rearrangement and decryption.
The picture at this moment is very absurd, and the style of painting is particularly fragmented.
On one side was a researcher holding his glasses and working frantically, and on the other side was a trio of people fighting fiercely.
"Leinster——!!!"
Mandela was extremely angry. He could even fight Jiang Ci, but now with Leinster, he was instantly suppressed by the two people.
"That brat is just telling lies. Even He Qichu has never found a way to remove the stigma. He is just one..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ci directly shot him in the head. His eyes were cold and he taunted "Huo Xianfeng style".
"You talk too much, old man!"
"????"
Old man?!!!
Mandela was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but now he couldn't speak even if he tried hard. In the crisis, he could only cross his claws suddenly, barely blocking this powerful blow.However, the next second, Leinster stabbed him from behind.
But the blade failed to pierce the heart, and the broken skin was blocked by the red-gold holy mark.The originally red-gold stigmata quickly turned completely bloody and surged out of his body.
Jiang Ci's expression changed, and he immediately blocked the shot. He was knocked back more than ten meters. He lowered his head and saw a gap in his wrist, and the blood stained his hand.
Leinster, who was behind, was suppressed by the level of the stigmata. He was unable to retreat in time, but was locked tightly by the stigmata on Mandela's body.The next second, the stigmata on Leinster's body began to be stained with blood.
"Leinster, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Mandela's eyes were sinister and he glanced at He Zhun fiercely.
Even without the Pope's order, just as He Zhun said just now about finding a way to remove the stigmata, whether it was true or false, he would not be alive today.
But at this moment, Leinster suddenly shook, his body spasmed uncontrollably, and he suddenly rushed towards He Zhun not far away with a knife.
"He Zhun——!"
The distance was too far, and Jiang Ci had no time to rush over, so he could only throw the spear violently.
boom!!!
The sound of the collision of weapons exploded in the room, and Mandela's hook drew a string of sparks on the gun body, changing its trajectory.He saw Jiang Ci's suddenly pale face and smiled maliciously as if he was succeeding.
boom
puff
Chi——
Three different voices collided at the same time.
The first one was the black scimitar that was supposed to kill He Zhun, but in the end it just grazed the young man's ear and pierced the wall behind him.
As for the second move, He Zhun subconsciously picked up the short knife across his chest and embedded it deeply into Leinster's throat.
As for the third sound, it was Jiang Ci's silver spear piercing the man's calf, pinning him to the ground and preventing him from moving forward.
He Zhun stared blankly at Leinster's face.The latter's arterial rupture spurted blood all over He Zhun's face, and the glasses on his face also slipped off with the blood due to the violent impact.
It fell to the ground and made a "snap" sound.
...on purpose.
This guy did it on purpose.
He Zhun knew.
When he subconsciously picked up the dagger in front of him to defend himself, Leinster bumped into him on purpose.At such a fast speed, when it hit the blade, Leinster's entire neck seemed to be cut off.
"..."
The young man's eyelashes trembled, and the hot blood drops fell down from them. He was covered in that person's blood, and it was frighteningly hot.At this time, He Zhun heard Mandela's furious voice, as well as the sound of the two men's fierce fighting that stopped briefly and then continued instantly.
He closed his eyes.
He Zhun once thought that Leinster might die in his own hands, but he never expected that it would be this way.
"That night...the person Chris communicated with was you, right, Leinster?"
When Huo Xianfeng used his clone to kill the mechanical warrior, He Zhun discovered that Chris was the murderer of his entire family, and he always remembered that the other person made a communication call to someone when he left.He used drugs to stimulate Chris' memory, and used the stigmata to see a familiar face in the man's mind.
He Zhun opened his eyes, stared at Leinster's dying face, and spoke with difficulty,
"It was you who... found my father first, and it was you who delayed Zhou Jiuyao's rescue that night, right?"
"ah……"
The cut throat made the man speechless. He trembled and reluctantly opened the corners of his lips.
——This look has confirmed He Zhun's statement.
Yes, that's right.
If Chris hadn't been rushing to show off in front of the Pope that day, then he should have been the one to kill He Qichu's family.But Chris got the murder mission, so he could only be the one responsible for delaying Zhou Jiuyao.
At the moment before his death, Leinster thought back on his life, which seemed to be all blurry. Only He Zhun in front of him was clear.
Only He Zhun, who hated him in front of him, was clear.
The first time he met He Zhun, it was like seeing himself who had pursued power at all costs.He knew that the other party was plotting against him from the beginning, but he did not kill He Zhun.At first, Leinster just wanted to see how far this kid could go for revenge.By the time he came to his senses, He Zhun seemed to have completely invaded his life.
In the whole world, only He Zhun would wait for him and embrace him.
Even though the other party is just doing it for something else, to step on him to get information, benefits, or something else.But the short-lived and false warmth He Zhun showed really fascinated Leinster.With the accumulation of companionship over time, there are so many fake things, and it seems that there is a moment when they become real.
Living in hell, Leinster seemed to have finally discovered that something and someone could belong to him for a short period of time.Even if it is mixed with deception, interest, and hatred.But in fact, He Zhun never belonged to him. The other party disliked him, hated him, and even wanted to kill him.
Leinster knew it, he knew his ugly face, and he also knew that he was just an executioner who sold his soul to the devil.He was one of the murderers who caused the death of He Zhun's family, so it was natural for him to be killed by the other party.
Just like Leinster felt that he had gained power from the Illusion God Religion, so he should naturally sell his freedom and soul.
——These are all fair transactions.
[Leinster, you will die at the hands of that brat one day.]
Yes, he will.
Leinster knew it long, long before Cecilia said those words.
That woman's prophecy would come true, like now.
Leinster closed his eyes.
They predicted each other's fate.
Leinster told He Zhun that those who betrayed the Illusory God Religion were destined to die in the hands of the Pope.
The latter asked then——
[Including you?]
Of course not.
Because Leinster must die in the hands of He Zhun.
On the other side, after Jiang Ci confirmed that Leinster was dead and no longer a threat, he immediately called Cheng Yue back and narrowly blocked Mandela's attack.
The weapons of both sides collided together, and immediately made a shocking loud noise!
The hook and the spear were pressed against each other tightly, trembling and making a harsh rattle.At this moment, in a head-to-head confrontation of pure strength, Mandela discovered that he was evenly matched with his opponent.
"hateful!"
The whites of Mandela's eyes were bloodshot and veins popped out on his forehead. He stared at Jiang Ci and gritted his teeth.
"Just an omega..."
"Ah, yes, you were beaten by an omega,"
Jiang Ci frowned slightly.This expression is not quite like the Major General who once tried to keep a straight face, but at a certain moment, he looked like Huo Xianfeng.
"——This omega will kill you!"
After the words fell, he suddenly twisted his wrist bone and was about to strike vertically.Mandela immediately crossed his arms and prepared to block.However, at this moment, the spear tip suddenly changed its angle, changed from slashing to stabbing, piercing the gap between the hooks and locking both hooks at the same time.
"Varied……?!"
Mandela's eyes widened in disbelief, and even his eyeballs seemed to pop out.
He had seen Jiang Ci take action in Mingcheng, and occasionally paid attention to Leinster's mission to Tiandong Star.But no matter what, the opponent's combat effectiveness has improved too fast.
They are simply two completely different people.
In fact, Huo Xianfeng's two or three months of combat instruction and training for Jiang Ci were indeed very effective.But the combat effectiveness that can be improved in such a short period of time is limited.
But Jiang Ci thought of another way, because there were only a few enemies that he couldn't defeat and had to face.
Cecilia, Leinster, and Mandela.
When he was in Mingcheng, Jiang Ci began to carefully study the fighting methods and fighting habits of these three people. He collected a large amount of relevant information and data from Huo Xianfeng and Zhou Jiuya, and used XiaoPattern prediction.Then a person silently practiced thousands of times in the virtual star network's combat simulation.
This was the stupid way he learned to fight in military school, and it was also the most effective and fastest way to defeat his opponent.Jiang Ci was not able to defeat many alphas from the beginning. In addition to his talent, he also put in a lot of hard work.But not a blind effort, but a slightly smarter effort.
Jiang Ci had been preparing for this battle a long time ago, such as studying day and night how to enter the defensive barrier of the Holy White Tower, and practicing over and over again how to fight against powerful enemies.
So now, he can have the confidence to enter the Holy White Tower alone.
At the moment when Mandela was stunned in disbelief, Jiang Ci suddenly burst out with all his strength and thrust forward, nailing him back to the wall with one shot, making a startling sound of "bang——".
The hook and claw were connected to the wrist bones. In the ever-changing battle, Mandela had no time to unlock the weapon, so a huge force came over him, and his two forearms simultaneously made a numb cracking sound.It was directly twisted into twists.
"Ahhhhh..."
Amidst the man's screams, Jiang Ci turned over and retreated, and suddenly shouted loudly,
"Chengyue——!!!"
The white and silver gun was instantly charged with energy, and countless blue-purple arcs appeared around it.Mandela suddenly realized what he wanted to do, and his eyes were splitting. He immediately took off the weapon on his wrist and tried to escape.
But it was too late at this moment.Tens of thousands of volts of electric current poured from the gun instantly, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, like thunder exploding.The smell of burnt flesh and blood spread instantly.
However, Huo Xianfeng told Jiang Ci that this blow was not enough to kill him.
So at the last moment after the lightning strike ended, Jiang Ci did not hesitate, stepped forward, grabbed the handle of the gun, swung it wildly, and cut off Mandela's head with one shot.
boom
The head, which was almost charred to the point of being unrecognizable as a human, was thrown high and then fell.
Blood splattered all over the sky, like a heavy rain.
A fierce battle came to an end.
Jiang Ci took a few quick breaths, and her fingers trembled slightly due to excessive exertion.He closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and then looked back at He Zhun, who was sitting blankly in the corner, still maintaining the posture of killing Leinster with a horizontal sword.
"He Zhun?"
"..."
no answer.
Jiang Ci frowned, and he immediately stepped forward and threw Leinster's body away from He Zhun.
"Wake up, are you okay?"
"……Um."
He Zhun's eyelashes trembled slowly for a few times. He looked at Leinster's body next to him. The expression on his face was blank. It took him a long time to react.
"I...I figured it out..."
He seemed to want to stand up, but after trying several times, he found that he seemed to have no strength, so he could only collapse on the ground.
But at this time, He Zhun was still talking to Jiang Ci. Although his breathing was rapid, his logic was very clear.
"Inside...there is a way to make medicine that suppresses the stigmata, left behind by my father. It may be able to prevent the infection of the parasitic disease. But there is no...there is no way to completely remove the stigmata."
Jiang Ci took a deep breath,
"It doesn't matter."
At this moment, Jiang Ci heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside.
——There are too many believers in the Holy White Tower.
Jiang Ci's face darkened.
He has to go to the top now, and there is no way to take He Zhun with him.So, he took the Forbidden Abyss and strode towards the door. The mechanical data cable stretched out from the ring and was inserted into the mechanical lock behind the door.
The door of the Discipline Hall is specially made and cannot be violently opened except by the mastermind of the White Tower.But with the Forbidden Abyss, it should be able to block it for a while.
"He Zhun, you hide here first."
Jiang Ci grabbed his hand with force, just like He Zhun held his hand many, many years ago,
"I will come back to you after I take care of everything outside."
"..."
He Zhun looked at him blankly, suddenly feeling that at this moment, the roles between the two of them seemed to be the same as those in the kidnapping case.
"Um."
He tried his best to smile and was about to say something. At this moment, He Zhun suddenly caught a glimpse of the medicine cabinet not far away.The Discipline Hall, which is used for interrogation and punishment, naturally contains many shady drugs.
"...Ah Ci, please wait for me for three minutes."
"?"
Jiang Ci was stunned.
Three minutes later, Jiang Ci climbed up from the outer wall of the Discipline Hall and reached the top floor.
He finally reached the top church.He also saw the extremely high gate that Huo Xianfeng once described to him.There was not a single believer here, nor were there any pursuers.
Jiang Ci approached the church door step by step, leaving a series of mottled bloody footprints on the snow-white ground.
It was very quiet all around, and no sound could be heard from inside the gate.
Jiang Ci slowly tightened the spear in his hand, then strode forward and pushed open the door with his blood-stained hands.
Wow——
The door suddenly opened.
Jiang Ci saw the broken statue and the incomplete throne.And the figure standing under the throne was an all-too-familiar figure.
Huo Xianfeng stood there.
Jiang Ci looked at him for more than ten seconds, but the other person did not look back. So at this time, Jiang Ci turned his eyes to the Pope standing on the broken throne.
The pope's appearance is no longer as holy and perfect as it once was. His clothes are torn and stained with blood, and his left eye seems to have been scratched by some sharp object, leaving a bloody mess.It was like having just experienced a big battle.
But even so, the other party still showed a vile smile as if he was succeeding.
"Ah...what a different kind of surprise."
He grinned,
"It seems that there is something wrong with the genetic theory. The child who was obviously contaminated by Class B is even better than his mother."
The voice was as clear and ethereal as ever, like divine music.But Jiang Ci felt that it was more piercing than the wail of an evil ghost.However, before Jiang Ci could speak, the Pope suddenly raised his hand slightly, and the next second, Huo Xianfeng, who had been facing Jiang Ci, finally turned around.
——The side of his face was covered with bloody scars.
Jiang Ci didn't even have time to say a word to Huo Xianfeng before that familiar face approached him.An unprecedented sense of crisis hit me.
boom!
At the critical moment, he tilted his head dangerously, and it was this tiny dodge that allowed Jiang Ci to miss Huo Xianfeng's attack.The latter's fist directly hit the door behind him, shattering it into countless fragments.
Jiang Ci opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't say anything and punched the opponent hard in the face.
boom!
This punch was very heavy, and Huo Xianfeng jerked his head to the side, but there was no expression on his face, and he would continue to attack in the next second.
"Huo Xianfeng, how dare you——!"
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth.
"If you don't wake up, I will take your insect eggs and marry someone else!!!"
Buzz—!
Huo Xianfeng was suddenly startled.
The attack... stopped.
Chapter 140 The Final Battle (Part 2)
Following Huo Chao back then, Jiang Ci became the second person to mark the Holy White Tower in an attempt to kill the Pope.
"Damn it, the barrier is clearly not broken, how on earth did he get in?!!"
At this moment, Mandela's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.Because the church's army suffered heavy losses in the Holy Dew Star, this time they invaded the capital, almost all the remaining combat forces were dispatched, including most of the garrison inside the Holy White Tower.Because everyone thinks that as long as the defensive barrier is turned on, no one can break in.
This also led to the fact that the current guarding force in the White Tower can be said to be the weakest in history. Only Mandela and one or two bishops are the only ones with real strength.
"Sir Elder, all the guards and guarding believers have been sent, but it seems they can't stop it."
The man's expression was extremely ugly.
"Damn it, how could a mere omega..."
As we all know, omegas are naturally delicate, like flowers kept in a greenhouse.When Huo Chao was able to fight all the way up, it was because he was an S-level alpha, the strongest combat power among humans that the Illusion God Cult devoted all their efforts to cultivating.
It is a matter of course that His Highness the Son of God is invincible and unstoppable.
But Jiang Ci is an omega, and in the eyes of the Huan Shen Cult, he is just like Bai Min. In addition to being a fertility tool, it is also the weakness that they use to exploit and attack Pei Changyun and Zhou Jiuya.
So when they first heard that Jiang Ci was alive and well, the church was most outraged not that he was alive, but that He Qichu, who had fled the church, was still alive.Therefore, the church did not immediately kill Jiang Ci, but killed He Qichu's entire family at all costs.Similarly, in the subsequent kidnapping case, the Pope's order was to keep Jiang Ci alive.
——Because they still need this weakness.
After all, omegas can do nothing but reproduce.And Jiang Ci's identity, as a being that too many people want to protect, is the best attack point for the Huan Shen Cult.
But now no one thought that an omega who had always been regarded as a weakness and a fertility tool would actually break into the so-called "absolute defense" barrier outside and dare to kill the Holy Miracle Bai just like Huo Chao did in the past.Tower, no one can stop it yet?!!
This is simply a fantasy!
For the Illusion God Cult, being invaded by an omega and still not being able to stop it is simply a huge joke and the greatest humiliation!
At this moment, Mandela's facial muscles were twitching.
"Now that Pei Changyun's death is approaching, and the king insect is also under our control, Zhou Jiuya is not afraid..."
He was condescending and stared coldly at Jiang Ci below, every word tinged with blood.
"There is no need to keep Jiang Jinsheng's son."
However, just when Mandela was about to take action personally, a believer ran over in a panic.
"Man...Elder Mandela, Archbishop Leinster seems to be still in the White Tower."
"What?!"
Mandela was startled, his face gloomy,
"Shouldn't he be outside directing operations at this time?!"
"No, I don't know..."
The believers were trembling,
"When we were investigating the surveillance just now, someone said they saw Lord Leinster...seemingly going to the Discipline Hall."
"Fuck @#￥!"
Mandela immediately contacted Leinster and found that he was rejected.He cursed and immediately turned around and strode towards the Discipline Hall.
"Tell the people at the Stigmata Research Institute to release that woman Cecilia first. Everyone must kill the intruder at all costs!"
"yes!"
At this moment, the entire Holy White Tower was in chaos and bloody chaos.A group of believers were trembling with fear. They stared at the corpses lying scattered below, and they began to have the idea of escape.
This scene is very similar to the time when His Highness Huo Chao came to kill him, but now this terrifying omega intruder is very similar to the clone of the pope who escaped from prison two months ago and injured him.
No one can stop him.
"Is this guy... really an omega?"
Is it really an omega who can only live in a greenhouse and be pampered and used as a reproductive tool?
How can an omega be so powerful?!!
"Even Lady Cecilia, it's impossible..."
Although Cecilia is also an omega, it is because she has the stigmata. Even His Highness the Son of God was so powerful because of the stigmata.
But this intruder did not.
"Even if the saint's genes were superior at the beginning, isn't Jiang Jinsheng just a B-level alpha? How could it be..."
In this world where genes and gender determine destiny, Bai Min, as an S-level omega, combined with B-level Jiang Jinsheng. In the eyes of the Huan Shen Cult, the most superior genes were contaminated.
And how could a descendant born after being contaminated by a B-level gene be stronger than his mother?!!
Jiang Ci raised his eyes coldly, his bright pupils so dark that they were almost bleeding.Half of his body was dyed red and soaked, as if he had been thrown out of hell.He felt no tiredness, no pain, not even tears.
At this moment, Jiang Ci seemed to have finally bid farewell to the self that could only cry helplessly. Now he only needs to look at the top floor and Huo Xianfeng there, and it seems as if infinite power is pouring out.
At this moment, Jiang Ci suddenly noticed a sign of extreme danger. He turned back sharply and blocked it with his sword.
boom!
The blade shook heavily, he twisted it with his backhand, and shot it towards the opponent the moment he was knocked back.The next second, a flash of snow flashed across Jiang Ci's palm, and the spear instantly pierced the side wall, creating a ten-meter-long gap.
Then, among the blood that exploded due to the stabbing of the short knife, a figure slowly walked out.The strange and weird figure went from distortion to clarity, and was gradually reflected in Jiang Ci's pupils.
He saw——
A monster with long pink hair.
Jiang Ci was stunned, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she could only make a little breathy sound.
"Cesci...Lea..."
It’s just that Cecilia can no longer be called a human being.The left half of her body was pinned to the wall by the short knife, but the flesh and blood around her was torn and twisted, and countless bloody and sticky huge tentacles were extending from it.
She screamed in pain, but the sound she made was not very human. Even the believers standing far away couldn't help but cover their ears.
[Cecilia should not survive.]
At this moment, Jiang Ci seemed to hear He Zhun's gloomy and sad voice again.
The next second, Cecilia tore off a large piece of flesh and blood, broke free from the short knife, and rushed towards Jiang Ci like a monster in a horror movie.
The latter tightened his knuckles silently, drew his spear with no expression on his face, made a neat and beautiful wreath with his backhand, and swept directly in front of him.In an instant, several bloody tentacles were stretched out and cut off.
The silver gun pulled out countless crackling blue electric lights, and even the broken parts suddenly exploded into countless charred pieces.
Cecilia's body was already at the end of its strength. She was just a puppet forcibly dragged up by the stigmata. There were no so-called moves to attack. She was like an insane and scarred beast, only capable of the most instinctive actions.Bite.So it was no surprise that he was directly suppressed by Jiang Ci from the beginning.
"Isn't Elder Mandela back yet?"
Researchers from the Stigma Research Institute stood above and watched the battle. They were holding an electronic board in their hands. The densely packed data indicators on it were quickly marked red. Everyone looked anxious.
"This, this can't last much longer-"
Before he finished speaking, a short knife suddenly shot straight from below and pierced the electronic board, then stabbed the researcher's throat to pieces.
boom
A body fell to the ground.
Jiang Ci stared coldly at the group of people above with horror on their faces, and quickly ran away like birds and beasts.He didn't chase her, but turned around and saw the woman's broken body also lying on the ground.It was obvious that she was just a tool used by Mandela to buy time.
Cecilia gradually regained consciousness.She finally figured it out now.
Why did she initially persuade Bai Min to stay in the Huan Shen Cult so that she could live a good life?But the other party was in so much pain that he would not compromise even to death.
It turns out that the feeling of being controlled by others, harmed arbitrarily, and manipulated arbitrarily is like this...
It turns out that life is worse than death...
Cecilia finally understood——
Bai Min can become a saint and have such a high status. It seems that she and Huo Chao are the so-called beloved children of the Pope.But that's just because she is an S-class omega, just a fertility tool.
So when Bai Min and Jiang Jinsheng were united, her role as a fertility tool was gone, so she was destined to die.At that time, the Pope injected the Holy Mark into Bai Min, but it was just...deliberate torture.The more she tried to escape, the more she had to be caught and imprisoned.
The Pope deliberately used such a cruel and cruel way to express warning, intimidation, and declare that his authority was unshakable.I cherish my mouth and my mouth is full of beetles.
Cecilia suddenly understood——
The moment the stigmata was injected into her body, Bai Min's body became Jiang Ci's prison. The only way she could escape and free herself and her children was to die.
despair.
Jiang Ci stepped on the blood on the ground and walked towards Cecilia. He saw her body twitching and large mouthfuls of blood gushing out from her mouth and nose.But those pink eyes were looking at him and shouting vaguely,
"porcelain……"
Jiang Ci closed her eyes, walked over and squatted next to her,
"Um."
But when Jiang Ci listened carefully to her words, he realized that Cecilia was not calling her name.
"Mingmin said...said that porcelain is not fragile...it can only be kept in a display window...beautiful craftsmanship to be admired..."
[Mingmin, why do you like porcelain so much?]
Cecilia didn't understand it in the past, because many omegas like beautiful and precious gems, pearls, crystals and other things. Those are much more beautiful and precious than porcelain made from clay.
Bai Min's answer later made her remember it for a long time.And now, she is telling these words to Bai Min's children,
[It takes a long, long time of high-temperature fire refining to achieve the most beautiful appearance.]
"It takes... a long, long time of fire to refine... into the most beautiful appearance..."
[My Ah Ci will be like this in the future.]
"Ah Ci will be like this in the future..."
"..."
Jiang Ci was stunned.
So that's it.
It turns out that his name is such a beautiful wish.
At this time, Cecilia's eyes were covered with blood and tears. In her blurred vision, she seemed to see Jiang Ci's face transforming into that of her beloved Saint.She wanted to touch her face, but there was no way.
"Mingming...Mingming, Leah misses you so much..."
Tears diluted the blood, so big pink tears fell from the corners of her eyes,
"I'll come to see you right away..."
Jiang Ci closed his eyes and slowly raised Cheng Yue's mimicry spear.
"I'm sorry...but it won't hurt soon."
In the end, Jiang Ci used this weapon that once belonged to his mother to end Cecilia's pain.
She could only escape by dying.
"That traitor Cecilia is destined to die."
At the same moment, in the Discipline Hall.
Cecilia's ending also appeared in the man's mouth.
Leinster, who was supposed to be commanding on the battlefield, appeared in the Discipline Hall.
"The Pope has known about it for a long time. He knew that she deliberately reported it to save Bai Min, but he still spared the woman's life just because she was still useful."
Leinster has known this for a long time.He looked down at the young man kneeling on the ground and mocked,
"Kid, I told you, don't get close to that woman, and don't appear in the sight of the Pope. But you always have to go to a dead end."
Leinster looked reckless and looked like he was just a muscular alpha who only knew how to use force. However, he had stayed in the Illusion God Cult for more than three hundred years and still stood firm, relying on more than just his muscles.
He knows many, many secrets and can see through many people's thoughts, but he just doesn't bother to talk about them.
For example, the Pope knew that Cecilia loved Bai Min, and also knew that He Zhun had bad intentions, but the reason why he kept the former and wanted to get rid of the latter was just because He Zhun was of no use to him and was only a threat, while Cecilia was notLikewise, she is the only person in the church who is likely to gain some of Pei Changyun's trust.
The woman was just a spare dagger, so she was reluctantly left behind.Therefore, Huo Chao's clone seemed top secret and important, and was specifically targeted at Pei Changyun's mission. Even if Leinster was not punished for failing the mission, the Pope would definitely hand it over to Cecilia.
And after the last effect is drained out, Cecilia will die.
At this moment, He Zhun's whole body was locked and he was kneeling on the ground.After he was rescued by the soldiers, he should have been taken back to the Academy of Sciences and continued to be locked up. However, people from the church suddenly appeared and kidnapped him. The optical brain was also destroyed, and he had not yet decrypted the last bit of the content.He was taken back to the Discipline Hall of the Holy White Tower. He Zhun had always known this place. It was the place where all kinds of terrible punishments, including the death penalty, were carried out.Many believers who have made mistakes will not survive long after they come out.
His hands, feet, and neck were now chained, and his hands were raised, as if he were a prisoner about to be executed.
This is actually true.
He already knew just now that the Pope had issued an order to execute him, probably because he was afraid that his father had made medicine to suppress the stigmata, so the other party even asked Elder Mandela to execute him personally.
The Pope wanted to kill him, which was expected by He Zhun, but the last trick he had hidden was there, so there was still room for change.
He Zhun's eyes darkened. He couldn't die here. He noticed the hot signal at his elbow, which meant that Jiang Ci was very close. Even the chaos outside was almost entirely caused by Jiang Ci.
So the only thing he needs to do now is to buy time. At least before he dies, he must find a way to meet Jiang Ci and pass on the information.At this time, the young man raised his head and looked at Leinster standing in front of him.The other party let out a cold sneer,
"You are about to die now. Do you feel regretful? Do you want to ask me to save you?"
"..."
He Zhun was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Everyone chooses his own path. My path is my choice. Leinster's is your path. Your deal with the devil, the Illusory God Cult, wasn't it also your choice?"
He raised his head and looked at the tall and dangerous alpha, with a hint of mockery in his tone.He spent more than ten years getting to know Leinster, his past, his character, his likes and dislikes, everything about him.
So he knew about the devil's deal between Leinster and the Illusion God Religion.
Leinster's life is a bit like Ye Shu, but also a bit like He Zhun.
Like Ye Shu, Leinster, as an S-class alpha, originally came from a privileged background, but his family was ruined due to persecution by a high-ranking alliance official.And like He Zhun, they also took the initiative to enter the Huan Shen Cult for the sake of survival and revenge.
It's just that Ye Shu was luckier. He met Huo Chao who joined the army a little later.But Leinster was unlucky, he failed to meet Huo Chao later.At that time, the Illusion God Cult recruited all kinds of children with high talent levels in the name of the academy across the entire alliance.Leinster is an S-class alpha, so he easily entered the interior and became a key target for training.
The difference between Leinster and He Zhun lies in gender and class.The former is an alpha, and a very talented alpha.Therefore, he can rely on his own strength to fight his way out.But He Zhun is a beta. He has no talent in matters such as fighting and violence, so he can only rely on his brain, body, and others.
The Cult of Illusion, the Legion of Dawn, the Empire, and the Zerg are like three social forms with different governance structures.
The Zerg are genetically programmed. Whether they are low-level Zerg or high-level Zerg, they are born to love the king deeply and will protect the king at all costs and execute all the other party's orders.Therefore, the entire Zerg race would not hesitate to travel billions of light years to seek revenge, and the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, countless advanced Zerg races would be willing to sacrifice themselves.
Huo Chao and Pei Changyun's Dawn Legion and Empire are the most traditional ways of leadership in human society, including political means, leader prestige, personal charisma, etc., many, many complicated things.
So some are loyal, some love, some hate, and some discredit.
The way the pope controls his subordinates is to use the stigmata. This disgusting tool is used to strangle everyone by the throat and force them to obey.So he can't get the heartfelt loyalty from anyone.
There is only hatred, only fear, only necessity.
Leinster was one of them, but he only felt that this was a deal with the devil. After he gained power from the Illusion God Cult, he had to pay hundreds of years of freedom to become a tool of this absurd church.
fair enough.
Until this moment He Zhun asked him,
"Leinster, so do you regret it now?"
"..."
Leinster stared at him condescendingly for a few seconds. He did not answer the question. He just grinned and let out a few chuckles.
"He Zhun, anyone who betrays the church will die in the hands of the Pope. For example, Huo Chao, Bai Min, Jiang Jinsheng, Cecilia who has turned into a monster outside... Oh yes, and your father He Qichu."
"——Including you?"
He Zhun didn't show any other emotions because of his father's name. He just looked up and looked steadily at Leinster's gray eyes and asked again,
"Does that include you, Leinster, who came to see me against the Pope's orders?"
"..."
The smile on the man's face suddenly faded. After a while, he said coldly,
"Of course not!"
He knelt down and pinched He Zhun's chin.
"Don't you know why I came here? He Zhun. I'm just here for the potion you said can remove the stigma."
"Ok, I know."
He Zhun nodded calmly,
"For so many years, I have just been your pet and your bed partner to vent your desires. If it weren't for this reason, how could you disobey the Pope's order and come to see me. Right, Leinster?"
"..."
The man's face darkened.
boom!
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open from the outside.
"Leinster!"
An angry Mandela strode in with a group of believers.
"you……"
"Ah, Elder Mandela."
Leinster turned around and interrupted him directly.
"I heard that someone invaded the White Tower of Holy Relics. Elder Mandela didn't go to eliminate the intruders. Why are they here?"
Mandela was angry,
"Should I ask you this, Leinster?"
"Leinster, aren't you curious about why every child with superior genetic qualifications selected by the church has a tragic life experience?"
He Zhun's voice suddenly came from behind Leinster,
"No matter what gender they are, S-class children are only one in a million, and they usually come from either aristocratic or wealthy backgrounds. Why do so many children suffer from various family changes at the same time and have to be forced to join the family?Where is the missionary college?”
"Full of nonsense!!!"
Mandela's face darkened, and he drew his gun and pointed it at He Zhun's head.
boom!
The sound of gunshots and the sound of fists hitting human bodies sounded at the same time.
The light bullet missed the target and hit the iron chain on He Zhun's left wrist, breaking it. His wrist bones were shocked and numb. Then he quickly pulled out a very mini decoding needle from the sole of his shoe and quickly pierced the iron chain on his right wrist.middle.
Knock!
Unlocked successfully.
He Zhun quickly took out the anesthetic gun from the inside of his sleeve.Fortunately, when he was captured, those people were very anxious and only locked his hands and feet and took him directly back to the Discipline Hall, so there was no body search.
On the other side, Leinster quickly twisted the muzzle of his gun and hit the believers behind with the remaining bullets.Mandela didn't expect that Leinster would dare to do this. He was extremely angry and directly unfolded the mecha's mimic weapon and slashed out with his horizontal claws.
Leinster retreated instantly. He looked down and saw the deep wound on his chest. For a moment, he could even see the white flesh inside. The blood that then poured out covered the hideous wound.If it had been any later, the other party might have just gouged out his heart.But at this time, Stigma had quickly begun to repair the wound.
The two men immediately fought together.Leinster's combat power is slightly inferior to Mandela's, and in such a narrow space, he cannot gain the upper hand.In just a few minutes of fighting, the red-gold stigma in Mandela's body suddenly penetrated Leinster's abdomen.
The next second, the golden holy mark that was repairing the wound suddenly stopped as if it was suppressed by something.Leinster was suddenly startled, and all his movements froze instantly as if the pause button had been pressed. An extremely painful look appeared on his face uncontrollably.
"Leinster! Do you want to betray the church?! The consequences of disobeying the Pope's orders..."
Before Mandela finished his angry rebuke, he suddenly noticed something flying from the side and smashed it with his backhand.The sky-wide blue mist disperses in the space.
"If this fate is caused by the stigmata, I'm sorry, but I have already made a potion that can remove the stigmata."
He Zhun was breathing rapidly. He held a tube of blue reagent in his hand and waved it in front of their eyes.
"Leinster, isn't that why you came to save me?"
Of course it was not done. The information that He Zhun decrypted and left behind by his father was only part of the potion that he gave Huo Chao to suppress the stigma. And the medicine he has in his hand now is of course not a drug that can suppress the stigma. It is just a kind of medicine.It's just an enhanced anesthetic.
When He Zhun's words came out, everyone present looked horrified.Even Mandela and Leinster, who were in the middle of the fight, were stunned.
The significance of the stigmata is too important to the Illusion God Religion.Just like the steel frame and cement in a high-rise building, as soon as it is demolished, the whole building will collapse and shatter.
Mandela reacted first and nailed Leinster to the wall with a Stigma blow.Then without thinking, he rushed towards He Zhun.
Regardless of whether what He Zhun said is true or false, this person can no longer stay!!!
He Zhun stood there, covering his mouth and nose, showing no intention of hiding.In his dilated pupils, in addition to the metal claws approaching in front of him, there was also the silver gun approaching from behind.
Mandela immediately noticed something and immediately went back to defense, but due to the anesthetic fog just now, his movements were a little sluggish.
Phew——!
It's the sound of a sharp weapon piercing a human body.
A silver gun was seen piercing the side of Mandela's neck from behind where it connected to his collarbone, and then he was thrown away with a violent swing.Mandela followed Leinster with a bang and hit the wall.
Seeing that He Zhun was safe, Jiang Ci breathed a sigh of relief.Thanks to the anesthetic mist, the believers at the door didn't even have time to react, and they fell straight away.And Jiang Ci was able to rush in in time.He closed the door and locked it, blocking out all the pursuers outside.
Jiang Ci didn't ask any more questions. He just stood in front of He Zhun and threw him the short knife. At the same time, he turned back and gave him a questioning look.
He heard what He Zhun shouted just now, so this action now was asking him if he had really found a way to remove the stigmata.If He Zhun just deceived the other party and Jiang Ci asked directly, it would be exposed.So I can only ask with eyes.
He Zhun caught the knife with a "pop", and his wrist immediately sank under the weight of his hand. However, when he met Jiang Ci's eyes, he immediately understood what the other party was asking, so he quickly answered,
"I need a light brain!"
Optical brain?
Jiang Ci frowned, then threw the black ring in his hand to him.
——That is the Forbidden Abyss.
The external machine of the forbidden abyss was damaged and the energy was low, but after a data analysis, there was still no problem.
At this moment, Mandela covered the side of his neck, half of his body stained red with blood. His eyes were sinister, and he rushed over in the next second.Jiang Ci's silver gun turned and faced Mandela's attack.
at the same time.He Zhun put the knife at his side and caught Jin Yuan.He didn't care about the three people fighting on the other side and turned on the light brain directly.As a researcher who often works in the center of bloody battlefields, He Zhun has been able to ignore any dangerous situations and concentrate on his work.
"Hey, hello, Xiaohe?"
Jin Yuan projected a virtual keyboard and screen to him.
"...Hello, I'm sorry."
He Zhun closed his eyes, quickly recalled the last small part of the book, and then quickly entered the forbidden abyss for rearrangement and decryption.
The picture at this moment is very absurd, and the style of painting is particularly fragmented.
On one side was a researcher holding his glasses and working frantically, and on the other side was a trio of people fighting fiercely.
"Leinster——!!!"
Mandela was extremely angry. He could even fight Jiang Ci, but now with Leinster, he was instantly suppressed by the two people.
"That brat is just telling lies. Even He Qichu has never found a way to remove the stigma. He is just one..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Ci directly shot him in the head. His eyes were cold and he taunted "Huo Xianfeng style".
"You talk too much, old man!"
"????"
Old man?!!!
Mandela was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but now he couldn't speak even if he tried hard. In the crisis, he could only cross his claws suddenly, barely blocking this powerful blow.However, the next second, Leinster stabbed him from behind.
But the blade failed to pierce the heart, and the broken skin was blocked by the red-gold holy mark.The originally red-gold stigmata quickly turned completely bloody and surged out of his body.
Jiang Ci's expression changed, and he immediately blocked the shot. He was knocked back more than ten meters. He lowered his head and saw a gap in his wrist, and the blood stained his hand.
Leinster, who was behind, was suppressed by the level of the stigmata. He was unable to retreat in time, but was locked tightly by the stigmata on Mandela's body.The next second, the stigmata on Leinster's body began to be stained with blood.
"Leinster, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Mandela's eyes were sinister and he glanced at He Zhun fiercely.
Even without the Pope's order, just as He Zhun said just now about finding a way to remove the stigmata, whether it was true or false, he would not be alive today.
But at this moment, Leinster suddenly shook, his body spasmed uncontrollably, and he suddenly rushed towards He Zhun not far away with a knife.
"He Zhun——!"
The distance was too far, and Jiang Ci had no time to rush over, so he could only throw the spear violently.
boom!!!
The sound of the collision of weapons exploded in the room, and Mandela's hook drew a string of sparks on the gun body, changing its trajectory.He saw Jiang Ci's suddenly pale face and smiled maliciously as if he was succeeding.
boom
puff
Chi——
Three different voices collided at the same time.
The first one was the black scimitar that was supposed to kill He Zhun, but in the end it just grazed the young man's ear and pierced the wall behind him.
As for the second move, He Zhun subconsciously picked up the short knife across his chest and embedded it deeply into Leinster's throat.
As for the third sound, it was Jiang Ci's silver spear piercing the man's calf, pinning him to the ground and preventing him from moving forward.
He Zhun stared blankly at Leinster's face.The latter's arterial rupture spurted blood all over He Zhun's face, and the glasses on his face also slipped off with the blood due to the violent impact.
It fell to the ground and made a "snap" sound.
...on purpose.
This guy did it on purpose.
He Zhun knew.
When he subconsciously picked up the dagger in front of him to defend himself, Leinster bumped into him on purpose.At such a fast speed, when it hit the blade, Leinster's entire neck seemed to be cut off.
"..."
The young man's eyelashes trembled, and the hot blood drops fell down from them. He was covered in that person's blood, and it was frighteningly hot.At this time, He Zhun heard Mandela's furious voice, as well as the sound of the two men's fierce fighting that stopped briefly and then continued instantly.
He closed his eyes.
He Zhun once thought that Leinster might die in his own hands, but he never expected that it would be this way.
"That night...the person Chris communicated with was you, right, Leinster?"
When Huo Xianfeng used his clone to kill the mechanical warrior, He Zhun discovered that Chris was the murderer of his entire family, and he always remembered that the other person made a communication call to someone when he left.He used drugs to stimulate Chris' memory, and used the stigmata to see a familiar face in the man's mind.
He Zhun opened his eyes, stared at Leinster's dying face, and spoke with difficulty,
"It was you who... found my father first, and it was you who delayed Zhou Jiuyao's rescue that night, right?"
"ah……"
The cut throat made the man speechless. He trembled and reluctantly opened the corners of his lips.
——This look has confirmed He Zhun's statement.
Yes, that's right.
If Chris hadn't been rushing to show off in front of the Pope that day, then he should have been the one to kill He Qichu's family.But Chris got the murder mission, so he could only be the one responsible for delaying Zhou Jiuyao.
At the moment before his death, Leinster thought back on his life, which seemed to be all blurry. Only He Zhun in front of him was clear.
Only He Zhun, who hated him in front of him, was clear.
The first time he met He Zhun, it was like seeing himself who had pursued power at all costs.He knew that the other party was plotting against him from the beginning, but he did not kill He Zhun.At first, Leinster just wanted to see how far this kid could go for revenge.By the time he came to his senses, He Zhun seemed to have completely invaded his life.
In the whole world, only He Zhun would wait for him and embrace him.
Even though the other party is just doing it for something else, to step on him to get information, benefits, or something else.But the short-lived and false warmth He Zhun showed really fascinated Leinster.With the accumulation of companionship over time, there are so many fake things, and it seems that there is a moment when they become real.
Living in hell, Leinster seemed to have finally discovered that something and someone could belong to him for a short period of time.Even if it is mixed with deception, interest, and hatred.But in fact, He Zhun never belonged to him. The other party disliked him, hated him, and even wanted to kill him.
Leinster knew it, he knew his ugly face, and he also knew that he was just an executioner who sold his soul to the devil.He was one of the murderers who caused the death of He Zhun's family, so it was natural for him to be killed by the other party.
Just like Leinster felt that he had gained power from the Illusion God Religion, so he should naturally sell his freedom and soul.
——These are all fair transactions.
[Leinster, you will die at the hands of that brat one day.]
Yes, he will.
Leinster knew it long, long before Cecilia said those words.
That woman's prophecy would come true, like now.
Leinster closed his eyes.
They predicted each other's fate.
Leinster told He Zhun that those who betrayed the Illusory God Religion were destined to die in the hands of the Pope.
The latter asked then——
[Including you?]
Of course not.
Because Leinster must die in the hands of He Zhun.
On the other side, after Jiang Ci confirmed that Leinster was dead and no longer a threat, he immediately called Cheng Yue back and narrowly blocked Mandela's attack.
The weapons of both sides collided together, and immediately made a shocking loud noise!
The hook and the spear were pressed against each other tightly, trembling and making a harsh rattle.At this moment, in a head-to-head confrontation of pure strength, Mandela discovered that he was evenly matched with his opponent.
"hateful!"
The whites of Mandela's eyes were bloodshot and veins popped out on his forehead. He stared at Jiang Ci and gritted his teeth.
"Just an omega..."
"Ah, yes, you were beaten by an omega,"
Jiang Ci frowned slightly.This expression is not quite like the Major General who once tried to keep a straight face, but at a certain moment, he looked like Huo Xianfeng.
"——This omega will kill you!"
After the words fell, he suddenly twisted his wrist bone and was about to strike vertically.Mandela immediately crossed his arms and prepared to block.However, at this moment, the spear tip suddenly changed its angle, changed from slashing to stabbing, piercing the gap between the hooks and locking both hooks at the same time.
"Varied……?!"
Mandela's eyes widened in disbelief, and even his eyeballs seemed to pop out.
He had seen Jiang Ci take action in Mingcheng, and occasionally paid attention to Leinster's mission to Tiandong Star.But no matter what, the opponent's combat effectiveness has improved too fast.
They are simply two completely different people.
In fact, Huo Xianfeng's two or three months of combat instruction and training for Jiang Ci were indeed very effective.But the combat effectiveness that can be improved in such a short period of time is limited.
But Jiang Ci thought of another way, because there were only a few enemies that he couldn't defeat and had to face.
Cecilia, Leinster, and Mandela.
When he was in Mingcheng, Jiang Ci began to carefully study the fighting methods and fighting habits of these three people. He collected a large amount of relevant information and data from Huo Xianfeng and Zhou Jiuya, and used XiaoPattern prediction.Then a person silently practiced thousands of times in the virtual star network's combat simulation.
This was the stupid way he learned to fight in military school, and it was also the most effective and fastest way to defeat his opponent.Jiang Ci was not able to defeat many alphas from the beginning. In addition to his talent, he also put in a lot of hard work.But not a blind effort, but a slightly smarter effort.
Jiang Ci had been preparing for this battle a long time ago, such as studying day and night how to enter the defensive barrier of the Holy White Tower, and practicing over and over again how to fight against powerful enemies.
So now, he can have the confidence to enter the Holy White Tower alone.
At the moment when Mandela was stunned in disbelief, Jiang Ci suddenly burst out with all his strength and thrust forward, nailing him back to the wall with one shot, making a startling sound of "bang——".
The hook and claw were connected to the wrist bones. In the ever-changing battle, Mandela had no time to unlock the weapon, so a huge force came over him, and his two forearms simultaneously made a numb cracking sound.It was directly twisted into twists.
"Ahhhhh..."
Amidst the man's screams, Jiang Ci turned over and retreated, and suddenly shouted loudly,
"Chengyue——!!!"
The white and silver gun was instantly charged with energy, and countless blue-purple arcs appeared around it.Mandela suddenly realized what he wanted to do, and his eyes were splitting. He immediately took off the weapon on his wrist and tried to escape.
But it was too late at this moment.Tens of thousands of volts of electric current poured from the gun instantly, overwhelming the sky and covering the earth, like thunder exploding.The smell of burnt flesh and blood spread instantly.
However, Huo Xianfeng told Jiang Ci that this blow was not enough to kill him.
So at the last moment after the lightning strike ended, Jiang Ci did not hesitate, stepped forward, grabbed the handle of the gun, swung it wildly, and cut off Mandela's head with one shot.
boom
The head, which was almost charred to the point of being unrecognizable as a human, was thrown high and then fell.
Blood splattered all over the sky, like a heavy rain.
A fierce battle came to an end.
Jiang Ci took a few quick breaths, and her fingers trembled slightly due to excessive exertion.He closed his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and then looked back at He Zhun, who was sitting blankly in the corner, still maintaining the posture of killing Leinster with a horizontal sword.
"He Zhun?"
"..."
no answer.
Jiang Ci frowned, and he immediately stepped forward and threw Leinster's body away from He Zhun.
"Wake up, are you okay?"
"……Um."
He Zhun's eyelashes trembled slowly for a few times. He looked at Leinster's body next to him. The expression on his face was blank. It took him a long time to react.
"I...I figured it out..."
He seemed to want to stand up, but after trying several times, he found that he seemed to have no strength, so he could only collapse on the ground.
But at this time, He Zhun was still talking to Jiang Ci. Although his breathing was rapid, his logic was very clear.
"Inside...there is a way to make medicine that suppresses the stigmata, left behind by my father. It may be able to prevent the infection of the parasitic disease. But there is no...there is no way to completely remove the stigmata."
Jiang Ci took a deep breath,
"It doesn't matter."
At this moment, Jiang Ci heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside.
——There are too many believers in the Holy White Tower.
Jiang Ci's face darkened.
He has to go to the top now, and there is no way to take He Zhun with him.So, he took the Forbidden Abyss and strode towards the door. The mechanical data cable stretched out from the ring and was inserted into the mechanical lock behind the door.
The door of the Discipline Hall is specially made and cannot be violently opened except by the mastermind of the White Tower.But with the Forbidden Abyss, it should be able to block it for a while.
"He Zhun, you hide here first."
Jiang Ci grabbed his hand with force, just like He Zhun held his hand many, many years ago,
"I will come back to you after I take care of everything outside."
"..."
He Zhun looked at him blankly, suddenly feeling that at this moment, the roles between the two of them seemed to be the same as those in the kidnapping case.
"Um."
He tried his best to smile and was about to say something. At this moment, He Zhun suddenly caught a glimpse of the medicine cabinet not far away.The Discipline Hall, which is used for interrogation and punishment, naturally contains many shady drugs.
"...Ah Ci, please wait for me for three minutes."
"?"
Jiang Ci was stunned.
Three minutes later, Jiang Ci climbed up from the outer wall of the Discipline Hall and reached the top floor.
He finally reached the top church.He also saw the extremely high gate that Huo Xianfeng once described to him.There was not a single believer here, nor were there any pursuers.
Jiang Ci approached the church door step by step, leaving a series of mottled bloody footprints on the snow-white ground.
It was very quiet all around, and no sound could be heard from inside the gate.
Jiang Ci slowly tightened the spear in his hand, then strode forward and pushed open the door with his blood-stained hands.
Wow——
The door suddenly opened.
Jiang Ci saw the broken statue and the incomplete throne.And the figure standing under the throne was an all-too-familiar figure.
Huo Xianfeng stood there.
Jiang Ci looked at him for more than ten seconds, but the other person did not look back. So at this time, Jiang Ci turned his eyes to the Pope standing on the broken throne.
The pope's appearance is no longer as holy and perfect as it once was. His clothes are torn and stained with blood, and his left eye seems to have been scratched by some sharp object, leaving a bloody mess.It was like having just experienced a big battle.
But even so, the other party still showed a vile smile as if he was succeeding.
"Ah...what a different kind of surprise."
He grinned,
"It seems that there is something wrong with the genetic theory. The child who was obviously contaminated by Class B is even better than his mother."
The voice was as clear and ethereal as ever, like divine music.But Jiang Ci felt that it was more piercing than the wail of an evil ghost.However, before Jiang Ci could speak, the Pope suddenly raised his hand slightly, and the next second, Huo Xianfeng, who had been facing Jiang Ci, finally turned around.
——The side of his face was covered with bloody scars.
Jiang Ci didn't even have time to say a word to Huo Xianfeng before that familiar face approached him.An unprecedented sense of crisis hit me.
boom!
At the critical moment, he tilted his head dangerously, and it was this tiny dodge that allowed Jiang Ci to miss Huo Xianfeng's attack.The latter's fist directly hit the door behind him, shattering it into countless fragments.
Jiang Ci opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't say anything and punched the opponent hard in the face.
boom!
This punch was very heavy, and Huo Xianfeng jerked his head to the side, but there was no expression on his face, and he would continue to attack in the next second.
"Huo Xianfeng, how dare you——!"
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth.
"If you don't wake up, I will take your insect eggs and marry someone else!!!"
Buzz—!
Huo Xianfeng was suddenly startled.
The attack... stopped.
