Chapter 116 The Beginning of Power

Shameless traitor! Your backstab skill doesn't need a cooldown time?

The chestnut-haired girl's eye twitched, and she was about to open her mouth to refute, using the credibility of the same camp to convince those "classmates".

Unfortunately, the old fox won't give her any chance!

To make it easier for Lin Lang to counterattack, Poison Spider didn't hug her thighs. She crouched down behind the students and shouted, "She's a death warrior sent by the Chaos Cult! Don't be fooled by her—"

She knew it wasn't true. Even in a proper sect like the Chaos God, this kind of demonic person was despised by everyone. But who cared about that at this moment? Just say whatever you want.

After the poisonous spider finished his outrageous words, he revealed the girl's plan in a blur of words: "She brought a poison bottle with her. She captured me and forced me to poison the entire passage. She also said that her god had the ability to spread the poison, and it could infect many people..."

While narrating the facts, she did not forget to put herself in the position of the victim.

In this way, when that guy is killed by the elite of the church, she might be able to say that the prison escape was a hijacking. After all, a dead person cannot refute it.

Making amends for one's crime is a ray of hope. It's better to go back and be a low-level school worker than to have one's bones broken into pieces and used as fertilizer.

A toxin that can infect many people?

Lin Lang's ears moved, and the next second she lowered her center of gravity. A dagger flew past her neck.

"Swish." The chestnut-haired girl kicked the pipe with her right foot, used the reaction force to spin in the air, and slashed towards Lin Lang again.

Lin Lang reflexively raised his hand to block, and his pupils suddenly shrank: a fake move!

As expected, the girl's real target wasn't her, but the communicators in their hands. A maroon figure passed by, slashing towards Zheng Lu from behind!

Ding-dong, ding-dong~

The sound of crisp bells rang in my ears.

The chestnut-haired girl also had a religious background, and she immediately realized that the person she was attacking had some divine skills. She sheathed her sword and rolled on the ground, clang clang clang dodging three ritual needles.

The chestnut-haired girl followed Zheng Lu closely, caught between the two. "As long as I kill this person carrying the communicator and performing the divine ritual first, I can evacuate quickly, giving me plenty of opportunities to spread the poison to the designated location."

Ding-dong, ding-dong~

Another round of bells rang, and the girl who was originally holding the sword in her right hand suddenly turned her body, and a silver snake-like soft sword slipped out from the sleeve of her left arm.

She changed her moves extremely quickly, and her flexible left wrist instantly turned the soft sword to the angle suitable for chopping off the head.

Huh, you didn’t expect I’m left-handed.

"Goodbye, idiot." Her chestnut hair fluttered in the air, and her moves were like a fluttering butterfly, going straight for Zheng Lu's neck.

"Lulu--!!" Lin Lang's eyes lit up red, and he mobilized his supernatural powers to the extreme. His legs transformed into wolf legs and he kicked hard, flying out.

Her fur gleamed with cold light, and a gust of wind blew from the radiant rhythm.

At the moment when the soft sword was about to cut through his neck——

"Bang."

Gunshots rang out, and a bullet grazed the chestnut-haired girl's cheek, forcing her to dodge. Another energy bullet created a bloody flower on her left shoulder, continuously devouring her flesh and blood.

"Guwu!" The girl's momentum instantly collapsed, her hands dropped weakly, and her two swords fell to the ground with a clang.

Sun Yu continued to squat with her gun in hand. She did not move forward to expose her position because another group of people had already walked out from the other side, led by a middle-aged man with pink hair.

"Wow, you've become more capable. Using your body as a shield for others, are you asking for a beating?" The man's eyes fell on Lin Lang and he gave a crooked thumbs up.

"Dad..." Lin Lang's face darkened, and he awkwardly took a step to the side, hiding his entire body in the shadow of the pipe. This was both an attempt to avoid his father's gaze and to evade his father's superpowers.

"Cough!" the chestnut-haired girl spat out a mouthful of blood. The energy blast on her shoulder wasn't poison, but rather a form of negative energy that would violently neutralize her supernatural powers. Without the blessing of her supernatural powers, her superpowers and "divine strength" were significantly diminished.

If it were just superpowers, it would be fine. However, believers who are connected to gods will have extremely serious physical reactions when the connection is broken, just like a drug allergy.

Boom!

A yellow-haired young man walked out from behind Uncle Wolf. Holding a silver hammer, he hit the girl's abdomen hard, destroying her meridians and organs that operated her supernatural powers.

"Ugh—" The chestnut-haired girl flew up like a kite, and just as the yellow-haired girl smashed down the second hammer with force, the hammer head fell into the air with a whoosh.

A flexible silk thread suddenly popped out of the girl's bracelet, and the end of the thread attached to the other end of the passage, pulling her arm and soaring into the air.

"Don't even think about running!" The yellow-haired man gave chase, slinging a beeping iron box from his left hand. The instant the box hit the ground, it released three layers of film, tightly wrapping around the girl's ankles, clamping the soft, transparent plastic shell around three flat surfaces.

"hehe."

The girl scoffed. Her entire body, tucked tightly against the entrance of the passageway with the aid of a strange thread, twisted and tucked against the ceiling like a half-rotten tomato.

Boom, boom. Boom, boom.

Another member of the Human Soul Front pulled the trigger on her machine gun, and energy bullets blasted into her body one after another, trying to exhaust all the remaining supernatural powers in a short period of time.

"it's useless."

Although her body was in tatters, the girl's voice suddenly became steady and calm.

An ethereal tone seeped out from the abyss, like a saint bathed in divine grace announcing the end of judgment to sinners.

"You have committed an unforgivable sin, but the coming of our Lord is inevitable."

"He will spread the purest and most supreme poison, and let you—and all fools—receive divine punishment."

Halos emanated from the girl's body, which was pure energy surging from the abyss.

The overflowing energy continued to repair her wounds, but it was not intended to use this body to turn the situation around. Instead, it was to transform it into a [part] of the [pipeline].

Everyone's expression was more terrifying than the other. They had never guessed that this guy was actually a key chess piece.

She can initiate the God's Descent Ritual within the scope of the Glorious Church, which requires all the necessary conditions to break through the church's defenses, activate internal rituals, have the God's body rise, have the God's projection descend, and offer a large number of sacrifices.

"Go!"

Who would wait for her to finish her chatter?

Uncle Wolf shouted for everyone to retreat, and the poisonous spider even crawled to the entrance of the passage.

Are you kidding me? A celestial event on church grounds? Even if the sky falls, the church will hold it up. It's none of my business.

"It's too late."

The girl clinging to the passage chuckled softly.

No one paid any attention to her voice. Everyone gathered to both sides as quickly as possible and evacuated quickly.

She chanted in a vicious tone: "Look at your feet."

Under your feet?

Uncle Wolf subconsciously glanced at the floor, then noticed his shoes and trouser legs. Some sticky brown and green slime was stained on them, corroding a small hole in the defensive magic item.

Mucus seeped in from the hole, and many spots appeared on the surface of the skin.

These spots are not painful or itchy at the moment, but they spread very quickly.

He is a high-level mutant, and the implanted mutant tissue can only be partially digested. His powerful healing ability has been greatly reduced by unknown toxins.

Uncle Wolf frowned: If even I have been affected so much, then others -

He immediately looked at his daughter. Lin Lang was holding her paws and whispering in surprise. The school's X2-level protective gloves had failed. Her paws, stained with slime, were unable to transform!

Run away!

Everyone instinctively ran towards the tunnel entrance. The girl remained poised above the pipe, not pursuing them. No one could see the enigmatic smile on her face.

Run, run quickly, you will help me spread the gift of my Lord thoroughly.

Ta-da, ta-da-da.

After running a few steps on the water, Uncle Wolf suddenly touched his chest: not only was the Pasteurizer vibrating violently, but the Sage's Finger in the bag was also hot.

This finger-shaped object will only issue an alert when a disaster occurs that threatens a large number of humans.

Click.

He took the pistol from his belt, pointed it at the entrance, and shouted, "Everyone—Stop!"

Boom!

Flames burst out from the muzzle of the gun, and a layer of red light barrier exploded from the point of impact. The crackling light curtain rushed back and blocked the entire entrance and exit.

"What the hell are you doing!" The poisonous spider had already run half a body length away, but it crashed into the light curtain and bounced back, clinging to the wall of the pipe in helplessness and rage.

The people around him stopped and looked at Uncle Wolf in silence. Some of them were confused, while others understood clearly.

Uncle Wolf breathed a sigh of relief, put away his pistol, and took out one strange item after another from his space pocket and placed them on the ground.

Everyone recognizes the first few universal man-made artifacts, Antidote No. 1, Antidote No. 2, Blessed Holy Water, Mermaid's Kiss... The latter ones are completely unrecognizable in appearance, and we can only infer from the former ones that they should be high-level artifacts with detoxification effects.

"Haha, haha, hahahaha."

The girl above should have been dying, but now she laughed surprisingly energetically, "Do you think you can use these things to resist the power of our Lord? Foolish! You don't understand how glorious this is. You can become one of the first to experience the power and carry the poison like me!"

No one paid any attention to her shouting, and Uncle Wolf pushed the bottles and jars forward.

He unscrewed one of the jars and poured the emerald green liquid onto his legs. He listened to the sizzling sound of the potion and said calmly, "If these things are useless, you will die here with me."

He raised his chin mid-sentence and tapped his unshaven beard. "Let that thing die thoroughly before it dies. I brought a magma bottle, which should be able to melt it clean."

Everyone was in dead silence, and only Lin Lang could be heard sighing deeply.

I didn't expect that even though I broke away from the human soul front in order to survive, I would still die so early.

She scratched her face helplessly with her other paw. "Dad, is the Sage's Finger burning?"

"That's right." Uncle Wolf began to try the second jar of the wonder, his tone as steady as his wrist. "No matter what the probability is, I will not allow myself—or you—to infringe upon the future of mankind."

Lin Lang covered his face. "This is the purpose of the Human Soul Front: for humanity, for the soul, for this final battle line. Dad is different from half-baked people like me. He is truly willing to sacrifice everything for this purpose."

And...I really don't want to.

At this point, after stripping away all his confusion about the future, Lin Lang discovered under the threat of death that he didn't actually hate this kind of sacrifice.

I would be extremely anxious about the unknown tomorrow, but when my own future has arrived, this anxiety would disappear.

She collapsed to the ground helplessly, and like her father, she rummaged through the package to find the strange objects distributed by the school, and tried them on herself one by one.

As long as one of the standard magic items is effective, it means that the poison can be eliminated in large quantities.

On the contrary, if all the magic items they are equipped with are ineffective, their greatest contribution to mankind is to die here, and they have to deal with their bodies before dying.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey."

The poisonous spider stumbled and rolled among them, shouting in despair, "You're not really going to trap yourselves here, are you? Everyone, don't believe her nonsense. What authority, what bullshit priesthood? They're all just nonsense myths and legends for the purpose of spreading the gospel!"

"Oh." Uncle Wolf responded indifferently, his eyes clearly showing that he had prepared for the worst.

If the strange power of this world erupts again, giving the creatures of the abyss more and stronger abilities, he and the countless surviving humans will try their best to stop it, even if it means becoming burning firewood.

In the stagnant atmosphere, Zheng Lu held up the communicator and spoke slowly: "Bad news, the communication is being interfered with by strong radiation, and the message can no longer be sent."

Lin Lang smiled bitterly and used a knife to cut away the rotten flesh on his claws: "So what's the good news?"

She just asked casually, as a joke at the end of her life, but Zheng Lu nodded and poked the screen with her finger to light it up.

"I received a text message from Xiao'e. She said she'll be there soon."
