But at this moment, there was an indelible dead silence on his face.
"The power of a demon?"
Louis had seen relevant records about the existence of evil gods in Enser's library.
Compared to gods, evil gods are more dangerous in some ways.
Even an evil god would still follow a vaguely inevitable logic.
For example, the God of Destruction does not destroy everything unconditionally.
But the gods and evil are different.
This kind of existence is more of a curse from the gods than life.
Curse God, curse the world, curse everything
They are the true enemies of all living things.
What’s even more terrible is that due to the nature of the divine evil itself, even gods find it difficult to deal with them.
Especially those gods and evil creatures born on the Continent of Stars.
Gods cannot enter the Star Continent in their true form.
This means that if one wants to kill the evil gods, they can only do so through the coming of saints and walking on earth.
In this state, it is too dangerous to deal with the evil spirits.
There have been more than one occasions in history when gods died directly because they entered the continent in the guise of saints.
The most famous of these gods was the one who was closest to the only God among all the powerful gods in the past.
Eternal Sun.
Today, the Church of the Eternal Sun has become the Church of the Setting Sun.
Only the Knights of the Fiery Sun are still struggling to support the crumbling Church of the Fallen Sun, preventing it from completely becoming the dust of history.
The Eternal Blazing Sun was trying to prevent certain terrifying beings from frequently entering the continent, and eventually fell.
The only thing to be thankful for is that it is said that the Eternal Blazing Sun successfully killed a great disaster before his godhead was shattered.
Although no one knows now who the Eternal Sun's enemy was back then.
But one thing is certain, even the weakest evil god is the most dangerous existence on the Star Continent.
after all……
It was the first time that Louis saw the emperor take action.
"Wake up, can you move?"
Louis looked at the young man with blood foam oozing from the corners of his mouth, and Chloe opened his eyes reluctantly.
He glanced at Louis, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face:
"Unther?"
"What's the problem?"
"Sent by that prince?"
“Not really.”
“That’s why it’s related.”
“There are indeed quite a few connections.”
Chloe coughed a few more times, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.
As he coughed, Louis found that the blood foam he spat out gradually lost its color.
"It looks like you can't hold on for much longer." Louis sighed.
"If you hadn't forced me to pull me back, I would have died long ago." Chloe said lightly.
Louis said, "Indeed, but you don't look that scared."
Chloe shook her head: "Everything I loved was gone with that fire."
Louis knew what he was talking about.
The fire set by the Abyss Church on the border of the Enther Empire destroyed Chloe's hometown.
Unlike Louis.
Louis was still very young when he was taken away by human traffickers and had no memory of his hometown.
But Chloe was older than him.
Being older means being more mature at that time.
When you see your hometown destroyed with your own eyes, the pain you endure will naturally be greater.
"Ahem~ I didn't expect to die like this, what a pity!"
Louis said calmly:
"Anything you want to say?"
"What can I say?" Chloe wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "I want to kill the entire family of the Abyss Church, but I'm too weak."
Louis: “…”
After a moment, he emphasized again:
"Do you know what the Abyss Church did in your village back then?"
Chloe looked at Louis with dim eyes: "You know?"
"Yes, they want to create some kind of monster, a monster like the Pope of the Church of Glory and Justice."
Chloe seemed to have thought of something: "Ah... a serious sin? No wonder you came to me."
Louis thought:
"As expected, the existence of the great sin is a secret that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it is not unfamiliar to the middle and high-level people in this world."
This was also within his expectations.
Chloe herself is a member of the Roxy Empire assassination force.
Assassination troops like this have an inherent advantage in intelligence.
It is not surprising to know that there is a great sin.
But he didn't say anything more, instead, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that the person who came to me in the end would be a potential enemy who suspected me."
Louis shook his head and said, "Whether you are an enemy or not depends on whether you are related to the Church of the Abyss."
Chloe shook her head: "I told you, I wanted to kill them all."
The implication is that he has nothing to do with the Church of the Abyss.
Considering that the man is about to die, his words are well said.
And the strong power of sin does not exist in Chloe.
What Louis said to him still had a certain degree of credibility.
But it was also true that some trace of great sin remained in Chloe.
So he went straight to the point and said, "I feel the power of the great sin in you. Of course, the great sin I'm talking about is not you."
Chloe was stunned for a moment, revealing an incredible expression: "Are you sure you don't want me to be unable to swallow this?"
"You think I'm kidding you?"
Chloe coughed up some blood.
However, the coughed-up blood had completely turned into a deadly pale color: "How long will this aura last? Can you calculate it?"
Louis estimated and said:
"It shouldn't take long, between half a month and a month."
This is a little trick he discovered by accident.
When he was making utensil samples for the workers at the Meyer Chamber of Commerce, he directly used the power of the Great Sin skill to condense a batch of pallets.
The pallets were not initially sold.
When the pallets were taken out of the warehouse half a month later, Louis could feel the lingering aura of his own sin on them.
The state of the remaining aura of sin at this time is not much different from the current state of Chloe.
"Call, call people... ask my colleagues to come over!"
Chloe's calm expression gradually turned into one of horror.
Louis also came up with a terrible guess:
"You've been in the assassination unit for the past month?"
Chloe nodded with difficulty.
Louis was disappointed.
Without hesitation, he turned around and ran to find the people from the Roxy Empire's assassination force.
Perhaps it was because he performed so well on the battlefield today. After he asked to meet the members of the Rockxi Empire's assassination team, someone soon arrived.
"Mr. Caesar, what happened?"
"Members of your unit have urgent intelligence to report."
The assassination team member's eyes shrank instantly: "Please lead the way."
There were many members of the assassination team participating in the battle on the scene.
Although many people have begun to look for colleagues who have been seriously injured to collect intelligence, Chloe is obviously not the first one.
After all, the intelligence from the inner circle of investigators is more important.
Soon, the assassination team members met Chloe.
Chloe made it clear that Louis should stay and listen to the details.
Then Louis heard incredible news from Chloe: "In the past half month to a month, I have been either trapped in the Shadow Kingdom or in the assassination team."
"You, you remember to investigate as soon as possible..."
"And... Mr. Caesar, please apologize to my fellow villager for me. I'm really scared."
Louis knew that he was talking about the destruction of the original owner's hometown and his hasty escape.
Not long after she said this, Chloe's eyes lost their luster.
"Chloe, wake up! Wake up!"
The intelligence officer next to him shook his body.
But Chloe didn't make any more sound.
"Stop shaking it, his heart has stopped beating."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Chloe's body quickly turning white and gray as if it had been eaten away.
A gust of wind blew and it disappeared completely.
"The power of the evil god... is too overbearing."
Chloe's strength is not weak.
The fact that he did not die immediately meant that he did not have a head-on collision with the evil spirit.
However, the aftermath of the evil action still mercilessly injured him severely, and even self-treatment was useless. His life quickly faded away until it dissipated.
Just from here, one can see some of the horror of the evil of gods.
"As expected, your strength still needs to be further improved!"
When various forces began to enter the scene to clean up the aftermath, the first legion from the Rocks Empire followed closely behind.
They blocked off the surrounding area and no one could evacuate for the time being.
In order to prevent a large-scale plague in the area, some people who were severely injured were forced to be cremated here.
People like Chloe who are affected by the evil power of gods can skip this process.
After all, they had nothing left.
The assassination team member who obtained key information from Chloe has been following Louis.
Louis knew why.
They might have received orders from their superiors asking them to pay more attention to themselves during this period.
This was especially true after he learned of the secret information.
But the aftermath of the Shadow Kingdom incident is still continuing.
Not long after, a priest quietly came to the Moonlight Cat Group’s base and asked about Grace’s situation.
Louis was a little curious about why the priest came to inquire about Grace's situation, so he asked Alice.
Then he received news that surprised him.
"Were some of the monsters separated from the evil spirits dealt with by Grace?"
Louis looked at Alice with a somewhat surprised expression:
"Are you sure they're not kidding?"
Alice shook her head. "The temple won't be so idle as to do something like this."
Louis pinched his brows.
Good job.
He originally thought that his cheating was outrageous enough.
I never thought Grace would be even more outrageous.
Even if Grace is the future saint, her strength has improved much faster than ordinary geniuses during this period, and she has officially advanced to LV5.
But it is really outrageous that LV5 can kill monsters differentiated from evil gods.
But he changed his mind and understood.
He had already heard from his own people on the Enser Empire's side.
The Shadow God was destroyed by the Emperor, but before he died, he condensed his power into hundreds of demons.
Although these monsters only have a small portion of the power of the gods, they are also extremely difficult to deal with.
Louis could probably guess why Grace was able to deal with such a monster.
Just as she was able to pull Chloe's lifeline back to life before.
Her magic will not be suppressed when targeting specific opponents.
I'm sorry, but it's amazing to have the gift of the God of glory and justice.
Converted into the game, it probably means that other players are suppressed by the BOSS panel, and can only deduct 1 point of blood from the BOSS when they hit it.
But Grace's skills -
Your Saint's basic attack has true damage and critical hit.
Enemies of order like the Divine Evil are perfect targets for the power of the God of Glory and Justice.
No wonder other temples came knocking on our door.
"Do they want Grace to help them clean up the evil spirits?"
Louis looked at Alice and asked.
Alice nodded.
Louis thought for a moment, looked at Grace and said:
"When you killed those monsters just now, did you feel your own strength improve?"
Grace glanced at Louis timidly, and after confirming that he was not angry because of her misbehavior, she nodded.
When a priest practices God's teachings, he can upgrade his professional level.
Not to mention Grace.
The God of glory and justice is the enemy of all chaos.
Cleaning up the remains of the evil spirits was a way for her to gain experience.
There are still many monsters that have evolved from gods and evil spirits wandering outside.
in other words……
For Grace, this is a walking experience bag!
What is there to say?
"Elbow, watch me carry you!"
He had encountered those monsters that were differentiated from the evil gods.
Even for him, it was difficult to kill him after he fell from the Legendary level.
He originally thought it was a native monster from the shadow plane.
After all, Rimuru himself can absorb their power.
However, compared to the Shadowfall monsters, these monsters are more difficult to digest.
He thought it was some other reason.
It turns out that these monsters are the remnants of the evil gods! Now I understand that it is because the power of the evil gods made Rimuru unable to digest it.
Considering that these monsters were really difficult to kill, he had no intention of continuing.
But now, who would have thought that these differentiated monsters would actually become experience packs? !
"Tell the priest that we are determined to kill these monsters. Even the God of Glory can't stop us. I say so!"
Louis went wild.
So after hearing the news, everyone in the Moonlight Cat Group helped Grace to fight monsters and level up without hesitation.
It just so happened that Louis was in full spirit after his resurrection.
It is not convenient to kill these monsters, but he has plenty of ways to restrict them.
What is Greedy Grip, Matter Control...
When you see a remnant of a divine evil, just throw it at him.
Although Grace looked timid, when it came time to take action, she did it without hesitation.
This mentality and this fighting quality are almost comparable to Louis at that time.
You have to know that the world that Louis traveled to was still somewhat playful.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to become a fighting maniac.
But Grace is different.
It is difficult for people who were born and raised in the Star Continent to escape the limitations of their thinking.
Grace is better than he expected!
And this battle...
It seems like it’s not a loss at all for him!
After assisting all parties to clean up the surrounding evil remnants as quickly as possible, Louis looked at his palms and fell into deep thought.
It's not noticeable at first when the amount is small.
But now he clearly felt that... when the remnants of the evil god were shattered, the power that escaped was absorbed by him.
I was too arrogant. I went to visit someone today and wasted time... I have to drive back to Haikou tomorrow. I don’t know if this will affect my condition.
I feel that as I get older, the Spring Festival becomes busier and busier.
It’s true that in the past, parents were responsible for these things, but now it’s completely different.
