The soldiers began to attack.
They are unconscious, feel no pain, and the weapons in their hands are made of pure energy.
Although their strength is ordinary and they are just conjured energy bodies without the combat power of real people, their numbers are large enough to be annoying.
“Go ahead!”
Su Mingan shouted immediately.
He knew that if he didn't rush over, he would die among the soldiers - just like he did in the dungeon last night. Let the "demon king" kill the "hero".
However, he would never become the body of the fallen hero.
In order to solve the final puzzle, first of all, he needs to rush to the side of the god, or at least see what he looks like.
"I'll cover you."
Noel took a step forward and followed Su Mingan.
With a "swish" sound, many invisible silk threads appeared in Noel's hands. These silk threads spread out around like a spider web, protecting the four-man defense team that had just been formed.
“Hiss…hiss…”
Su Mingan drew his sword and killed the first soldier who rushed over with one blow.
In this team, Noel is responsible for cover, Lu Shu is responsible for finishing off the enemy, Lin Yin is responsible for assisting and adding status, and he is the spearhead of the entire team.
“Swish!”
The sword blade cut through the blue energy body like cutting through smooth jelly. When the sword cut off the opponent's head, he saw the soldier's face.
These soldiers are transformed from real-life NPCs, representing the power of their respective beliefs and can be driven by the gods to fight.
Su Mingan was very familiar with this soldier's face. It was the face of the "Frost Ruler" Sevilla.
…
[——Father, Elras cannot die for the time being.]
[——Why, Sevilla? ]
[——Father, in Praia, there is a principle of 'equality'. Once a major crisis occurs on one side, the Soul Clan or the Soul Hunters, the other side will also be in crisis... This has led to a stalemate between the two sides, and neither of us can do anything to the other.]
…
[——Sometimes, we think, perhaps, this is the driving force of the legendary 'fate'. ]
…
Su Mingan remembered what Sevilla had once said to him.
Now, he has understood what the "principle of reciprocity" is.
This god of Yunshang City is powerful because of human malice and hatred.
Therefore, He would maliciously provoke wars and stir up hatred between the soul clan and humans as a source of His powerful strength.
He was never the kind and merciful god that the residents described him as, the god who would bless soul hunters for free.
He helped the Soul Hunters simply because - at that time, the Soul Hunters were no match for the Soul Clan and were in danger of extinction, so He had to help them become stronger in order to provoke a long-lasting, "equally matched" struggle.
And when the overall strength of the Soul Clan becomes weak, He will change His position and teach the Soul Clan the power to build barriers - so that their battle will continue endlessly.
Su Mingan has already figured out that the soul clan city built in the southern area's barrier is the work of gods.
In fact, the gods did more than just that.
He would even deliberately promote the tradition of the "Feast on the Sea", using the "wealth everywhere" of the Cloud City as a cover to attract outsiders who were greedy for treasures, let them kill each other, and prevent the residents of Praia from being exterminated by internal struggles.
In His eyes, the lives, wills, and struggles of these residents can all be sacrificed, manipulated, and burned into the source of His power.
As for the scars on the land and the suffering of the residents... they all seem unimportant.
“Swish!”
Su Mingan swung the sword again, and the sound of the tightened silk thread came to his ears.
The soldiers fought frantically against their group, and even death could not make them retreat an inch.
Noel's silk thread defense was crucial. If he hadn't created a buffer zone, the four of them would have been easily dispersed by the endless stream of soldiers even if they wouldn't have been killed immediately.
Every time Lu Shu's mantis blade fell, it could kill a soldier who blocked their way.
Lin Yin was protected in the middle, her hands flashing with a milky white light representing healing. With her help, some of the minor wounds on their bodies healed quickly in this halo.
The team's progress is still good, and the four people's combat effectiveness is among the best, so they will not collapse in this situation.
“Bang!”
A soldier with a Garde face fell to the ground in front of Su Mingan.
…
[“…In short, don’t be afraid. You are still young and have a long way to go. Even if you see a lot of darkness and injustice along the way, you must prioritize protecting yourself…”]
[The old lady held his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Su Lin, Su Lin's child... You are a good boy. If you become a soul hunter, you will realize your dream."]
…
Su Mingan raised his head.
Through the heavy soldiers, he could vaguely see a holy white shadow standing in front of the church.
The gods seemed to be just watching the battle silently and did not pay any attention to their team.
That posture looks extremely arrogant.
The hazy mist obscured His face, making it difficult to see clearly.
Obviously, if their team stopped here, they would not have the opportunity to negotiate further with the gods.
Su Mingan stretched out his blood-stained left hand and gave himself an injection of Johnson & Johnson.
Intense pain climbed up his body like the bites of insects and ants, accompanied by a rapid rise in his blood bar. He endured the pain, tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, and turned half of his body.
