Chapter 464: Papal States and Jiang Chen!
The current situation on the continent can be summarized as the dominance of two empires.
The Holy Papal States, representing the heavenly forces, rule the six demon empires of Asia, Europe, and Africa.
The Disaster faction is not considered a power in this.
Among the demon empires are six gods and a demon king at the mythical peak, Satan.
The heavenly forces don’t have gods, but they have many fake gods, known as Seraph.
If we must find a similarity between the two, the only common point is that they both come from the same world.
That is the world created by God, Jehovah.
The remaining are various small countries struggling to survive in between the two major forces.
The Sacred Empire maintains order, following the command of the heavens to uphold the current situation, while the demons, restrained by the heavens, have failed to achieve total control over the entire planet.
However, what exactly is the justice carried out by the Holy Papal States is unknown.
。。。
Under a tree.
Tanasah helped Zhou Yanbing sit down, asking, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Yanbing held his stomach and grinned, "It’s okay, as long as it’s not a magical mithril weapon or a weapon with holy power, I can heal myself."
"But… what was that just now?"
Tanasah fell into a memory, "I don’t know… it was terrifying, yet… so familiar."
The wound on Zhou Yanbing’s abdomen gradually healed, "It was a close call, but the bad news is, the Papal States have targeted us."
"They are ruthless, without limits. They show no mercy, whether the opponent is a child or an unarmed civilian."
"At this point… the best option is to retreat…"
。。。
Zhou Yanbing and Tanasah prepared to return to The Sleepless City, passing through a small village where they rested for a day.
Unexpectedly, people from the Papal States came knocking at their door once again.
But this time, the Papal States’ target may not be them.
"Believe in demons, defy heaven, and judge heretics!"
A big fire swept through the village. After checking the situation outside again, Zhou Yanbing and two others hid in the cellar with the villagers.
The soldiers of the Papal States stormed into the village, mercilessly slaughtering the villagers.
Do some people in this village believe in demons?
Maybe, but whether they do or not, it all depends on a word from the Pope.
The Papal States have done many shady things behind the scenes. They use the names of heaven, order, and justice to cover up their unlawful actions.
The true intentions are always unclear. Perhaps it is to hide something, or it could simply be for the benefit of certain high-ranking individuals.
Zhou Yanbing and Tanasah were brought to a cellar by the villagers.
The children in the village were hiding here. An old man sat in the corner, silently sighing, "Why are we facing this hardship…"
"Heaven is nothing but hypocritical, even demons have true names."
Zhou Yanbing looked at the children huddled together, "I am the son of the Blood Truth King. If you don’t mind, you can come to my country to seek a way out of this situation."
The old man sighed, "Isn’t it all the same everywhere?"
"I just hope those people don’t…"
Clang!
Just then, the door to the cellar was suddenly opened by a blond man!
The blond man’s face was covered with stitched wounds, "Oh, so the little mice are hiding here."
"Nice to meet you, I’m Niles. Don’t worry, children, you will all be safe, uncle will protect you. Will you cooperate with uncle, right?"
Zhou Yanbing’s eyes widened, "Niles?"
Dissector Niles!
The leader of the Papal States, a sixth-level strongman!
Just to deal with an insignificant border village, the Papal States would actually send an executive to handle it?!
Especially this guy!
He is notorious among the executives!
He enjoys dissecting children, dissecting women, and then sawing off and haphazardly stitching together their limbs!
In his early years, Zhou Yanbing heard from his father!
The Papal States once created a monster named Abhorrence, all from the hands of Nels!
If we put it this way, today’s surprise attack might not just be about helping Niles find human body materials!
Seeing the look in Zhou Yanbing’s eyes, Niles’ mouth slowly cracked open, and his sewn-together face started showing signs of breaking apart.
"You look very familiar, let me think, you are… you are, oh right, the one that the Papal States are currently searching for!"
"I never expected to have such an unexpected gain!"
"Hahaha… splat!"
For some reason, Niles’ head suddenly felt like it was being held by something, and instantly crushed!
Splat!
Blood mixed with brain matter sprayed out, and Niles’ body fell to the ground instantly.
The sounds outside suddenly became very noisy!
"Who are you?!"
"Your Honor, the magistrate is dead!"
"Oh no, wait… it’s you!"
Plop!
"Former, former judge, I, I once, once… plop… know you…"
Bump!
"Again and again, over and over, how many times do you need to play this boring game to be satisfied?"
Plop!
"Your Honor… plop!"
"No, please!"
Click!
"Ah!!!"
Listening to the noisy sounds outside, Zhou Yanbing paused.
"Judge?"
The judge is one of the seven powerful people in the Papal States.
There were about a hundred of them, but that one outside…
Zhou Yanbing was not sure who that was until the voices outside quieted down and he climbed out of the cellar.
And after he climbed out of the cellar, what he saw was a sea of fire.
Countless bodies from the Papal States lay on the ground, while a man in dark armor and a black cloak stood tall.
When Zhou Yanbing saw this, he was surprised. The man in dark armor noticed him but didn’t do anything.
"Are you… okay?"
"Who are you, may I ask?"
The man in dark armor didn’t answer him, instead, he gazed at the sea of fire in front of him, lost in memories with indifferent eyes.
"Jiang Chen, make your choice, this is the final step on the path of the Undead Spirit."
"Either bury yourself underground, let the earth corrode your flesh, but this will take a long time."
"Or, burn your flesh in the baptism of fierce fire, it’s very quick but also quite painful."
Blue flames started to burn on Jiang Chen’s body, "I have been burned by flames many times, the pain of desire burning in flames, it hurts a lot, doesn’t it?"
Zhou Yanbing hesitated for a moment, "Who are you talking to?"
Jiang Chen waved his hand, as if stroking a child’s head.
Zhou Yanbing couldn’t see, but there stood a weeping soul.
The soul of a little girl, her face disfigured by flames, emitting silent sobs.
Jiang Chen’s hand gently touched the little girl’s head, "Don’t be afraid, there won’t be any more bad people, go on, your family is still waiting for you."
The little girl lifted her head, then turned and walked towards the other side of the mist.
Hall of Echoes.
