236: The world will be cleaner
Accompanied by a dense whisper.
An indescribable monster appeared from the sky.
Its massive body blocked out the sunlight, plunging the holy city, which had stood for 400 years, into darkness.
The people, already in Chaos, began to mumble to themselves as if possessed after hearing that dense whisper.
They looked up at the giant rift, witnessing the monster's body slowly squeezing into this world.
When their gazes met those countless eyes, everyone's minds instantly teetered on the brink of madness.
Their eyes were hollow, and their mouths murmured meaningless words.
Some people laughed wildly, as if they had deciphered the mysteries of the entire world.
Madness, like an invisible net, enveloped everyone's minds. The entire Holy City was plunged into an atmosphere of madness and Chaos, and people's willpower crumbled under the monster's intrusion.
Only a few Professionals of slightly higher Rank still maintained their sanity. The moment their thoughts began to become chaotic, they realized they were suffering from mental pollution and immediately closed their eyes.
But the monster's image was like a brand; once seen, it could not be shaken off. Even with their eyes closed, they could still see the countless eyes and hear the dense whisper.
"What kind of demon is this!? What is it putting into my head!?"
"I've received a lot of knowledge, I feel... I'm about to have an Epiphany!"
"Don't try to interpret that knowledge! Your brain will burn out!"
The high-Rank Professionals, while casting skills to dispel negative statuses, chugged "Clarity Potions," hoping to escape from the chaotic thoughts.
But their thoughts still slid into the abyss like iron balls, completely unstoppable.
Gradually, a fanatical smile appeared on everyone's faces. They stared obsessively at the monster, as if anticipating more "knowledge" and gaining the Truth of understanding the world.
"Gentlemen, ladies, the Holy City is finished."
Holy City, Child Family banquet hall. A group of well-dressed gentlemen and ladies stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the "grand spectacle" of the Evil God's descent.
Whether it was a tuxedo or a gorgeous gown.
On their clothes, they all wore a black metal brooch.
It was a triangular structure with an eye embedded in the center.
"Is this the God of Truth? It's truly ugly."
Amidst the crisp clinking of wine glasses, a lady chuckled.
She watched the monster in the distant sky with great interest, a faint green glow in her eyes.
These people were not all Professionals.
But strangely, they were completely unaffected by the Evil God.
While the entire city plunged into madness, they could still chat and laugh amidst elegant music.
"This ugly monster cannot be called a God at all, and the eight orthodox True Gods are the same."
A middle-aged gentleman walked up to the lady and said with a smile, "There is only one True God, and that is the Omniscient Eye."
The lady smiled sweetly, raised her glass to the middle-aged gentleman, and said, "To the Omniscient Eye."
"To the Omniscient Eye!"
The gentlemen and ladies in the hall raised their glasses together.
At the moment of the Holy City's catastrophic crisis.
The Childs, however, were raising their glasses in celebration.
In their eyes, all the Gods in the world were false Gods.
And all races other than themselves were beasts.
"It's a pity that something went wrong in the Throne of Bones."
The middle-aged gentleman said with a hint of regret, "According to the original plan, after Evil God Mora corrupted the Princess of the Wilderness Nation, the Pope was supposed to teleport her out, and then she would wreak havoc in the Holy City."
"But who would have thought that the Pope died inside."
The lady covered her mouth and chuckled, "Fortunately, Mora still descended, and this doesn't affect the overall situation."
The middle-aged gentleman nodded with a smile and said, "Perhaps we can try a different approach. The Omniscient Eye told me that Qin Yang of the Jiuzhou Federation is still alive."
The lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what he meant.
"You mean, if Qin Yang is controlled by Mora and wreaks havoc in the Holy City, we'll have a reason to act against the Jiuzhou Federation?"
The middle-aged gentleman did not answer, smiling enigmatically.
The lady also showed a triumphant smile and said, "Indeed, the Wilderness Nation, like the Jiuzhou Federation, is a nation that cannot be controlled by money. To control them, violence must be used. The only difference is that the Jiuzhou Federation is more powerful than the Wilderness Nation."
The middle-aged gentleman shrugged.
"The difference isn't big. Jiuzhou only has Four Emperors, while our Free Federation controls nine Emperors."
"Plus our vassals like Island Country and Bang Country, we can gather more than a dozen Emperors."
"Even if Lin Xuan of the Jiuzhou Federation is powerful, he cannot protect his country."
"You have a point." The lady gave a thumbs up and smiled, "So, should we call Sir Karl back? He went to destroy Qin Yang's Physical Body."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged gentleman was stunned and said, "You reminded me! If Qin Yang dies, then we won't have an excuse to start a War."
Immediately, he took out a sound transmission talisman and said, "Sir Karl, please stop your actions immediately. We need Qin Yang to be alive..."
Bang!
The middle-aged gentleman's sound transmission had not yet finished.
A loud bang came from the floor-to-ceiling window.
The Childs looked towards it, and a scream erupted.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window,
had a large area of cracks.
And in the center of the cracks, a human head was embedded.
The head faced the inside of the hall, and everyone clearly saw his face.
It was none other than the Emperor Professional of the Child Family, Karl Child!
"Ka... Sir Karl!"
"How could this be!"
The Childs were all terrified by this scene.
Karl Child was a top ten powerhouse on the Emperor rankings.
His strength was powerful and mysterious,
and his Profession was also blessed by the Omniscient Eye.
Even the Five-Star General of the Free Federation said that no one in this world could kill him.
And now, only a head remained?
Who did this?
Everyone's gaze moved from Karl's head, instinctively looking for the killer.
Indeed.
In the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a white figure floated.
That person had white hair, but was full of vigor.
The cold light in his eyes was like streaks of Sword Qi, piercing people's Souls with pain.
"Night... Nightmare!"
The middle-aged gentleman exclaimed in horror.
White clothes, gray hair, long sword.
Just by looking at this attire, one knew who the newcomer was.
The head of the Four Emperors of Jiuzhou, Sword Emperor Lin Xuan!
"Run... Run!"
"Guards! Call the guards!"
With a scream, the hall erupted into Chaos.
The gentlemen and ladies, who had just been full of vigor and at ease, scrambled to escape, looking disheveled.
Only the middle-aged gentleman stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
Why run?
Lin Xuan could pause time, who could escape from him?
Why call the guards?
Sir Karl's head was embedded in the floor-to-ceiling window, who could be called to help?
The middle-aged gentleman forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, looked up at Lin Xuan, and said, "Mr. Lin Xuan, do you know the consequences of slaughtering the Childs?"
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "The world will be a little cleaner."
Immediately, he made a sword gesture.
