Bishop North swept his eyes over everyone, his eyes were filled with bewitching and eagerness, "Everyone should believe me, just like in the past. I will lead all of you to awaken the power of your bloodline and step into a higher level. Everything I do is for you, for our entire group with the bloodline of the God of War! This is a great and glorious evolution. Only in this way can we escape the fate of being hunted. We are the chosen ones of God, and we can become the true masters of this continent!"
Then, Bishop North fixed his gaze on Daisy, revealing a complex emotion in his eyes, as if he felt guilty, but also as if he still had expectations. "Daisy, I have always regarded you as my daughter and my future successor. In you and Gibbon's bodies, the blood of the God of War is the most active and most likely to awaken. Because of you, I firmly chose to take this path. As long as we succeed, we can open up a new era. Don't you understand? This is our only way out, and it is a glorious evolution!"
Daisy felt mixed emotions as she listened to Bishop North's words. The trust and dependence on North over the years are now tangled in my heart.
Her eyes were full of shock and confusion, her lips trembled slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start.
On the one hand, she found it hard to accept that North, whom she had always respected as a father, had betrayed everyone; on the other hand, North's words seemed to have some kind of magic that made her feel a little shaken.
When the others heard what North said, they all showed complicated expressions.
Some people still had anger in their eyes, but were vaguely attracted by the "bright future" described by North; some people were full of doubt and were half-believing and half-doubting what North said; and some people had only deep disappointment and heartache in their eyes.
Merlin didn't buy it and cursed directly, "You're bullshitting (Tiger King face)!"
He pointed at Bishop North with his eyes wide open, speaking sharply, "Do you want everyone to become a half-human, half-ghost monster like you? Look at yourself now, how ugly, simply disgusting! And you said you did it for Daisy? When we first met, I saw your shocked expression clearly! I understand now, you must have been thinking about how Daisy and Gibberne could possibly come back. You also know that their blood concentration is the highest, so you simply wanted to sell them to the Ancient God Cult as guinea pigs, right? It was only because of my appearance that your plan was disrupted, right? You bastard!"
North's face became extremely hideous due to anger and unwillingness. He stared at Merlin fiercely, and the hatred in his heart surged like a tide.
He really hated Merlin. It was all because of this guy who suddenly appeared and ruined his seemingly stable plan.
Over the years, he had lived in comfort in the Temple of War for too long, and gradually came to believe that everything would continue in this peaceful manner.
The wriggling cloak-like thing on North's body and the strange objects on the guys who attacked Merlin were actually human skin given to him by the Ancient God Cult.
This human skin was specially refined to limit the blood power of the rampaging god of war, and has the function of "forbidding magic".
With this human skin, he can disguise himself perfectly and no one will notice anything abnormal on his body. It can block the detection of magic.
However, this thing could not block the divine power, and that was why Merlin noticed something was wrong with him.
After listening to Merlin's explanation, Daisy still didn't want to believe North's betrayal in her heart, but her reason told her that what Merlin said was true.
"I knew that the ones against me were those Ancient Gods. They are really haunting me!" Merlin couldn't help but complain, "Can't the Ancient Gods from other places follow the rules like the Ancient Gods in the Arcane City, work in the factory, and work twenty hours a day for me?"
In the minds of the Ancient Gods, they still think that Merlin is simply a trouble that cannot be gotten rid of.
They were obviously hiding, but Merlin still kept chasing and hunting them.
Those members of the Ancient God Cult who had escaped couldn't help but yell when they looked back: "MD, Merlin is still chasing me!"
The lizard man stood in the front of the crowd, staring at North's increasingly hideous face and his body that was constantly expanding and contracting.
He knew in his heart that it was the blood of the God of War that was running wild, but this runaway power was forcibly suppressed by the strange black thing.
"This guy is not in the right state. He is contaminated." The voice of the moon goddess Selene rang in Merlin's mind. "North's eyes are full of black worm-like 'threads'. This is a clear sign of being contaminated by the spiritual power of the ancient gods."
"Who did it? The Lord of Plague?" Merlin asked hurriedly in his mind.
"Not really!" Moon Goddess Selene responded, "The Lord of Plague is an extremely cunning, despicable, scheming and intelligent guy. He will not use his wisdom for such things. His wisdom is only used to plan the entire world! The pollution suffered by the guy in front of you is the corruption of the flesh. This is the power of the Lord of Flesh and Blood."
At this time, in an "open" carriage, the Plague Lord, who was called by the Moon Goddess as someone who only used his wisdom to plan the world, was taking over Sigmar's body and enthusiastically playing Arena of Valor with several students from the Arcane Academy who were also returning home for the summer vacation.
When the Lord of Plague won the seventh victory, the students who were traveling with him couldn't help but shout: "Cunning, despicable, and scheming! He actually played the role of a stealing shepherd and changed the house thief. This routine is too dirty!"
The Lord of Plague laughed loudly and shouted proudly: "You are all noobs! My wisdom is something you will never be able to surpass in your lifetime!"
"Damn, this kid is so good, let's play another round!"
"The Lord of Flesh and Blood and the God of War are sworn enemies. It's normal for them to do this kind of thing in order to target the God of War." The Moon Goddess Selene continued to explain to Merlin.
Hearing about the Lord of Flesh and Blood, Merlin couldn't help but think of his dwarf uncle Otto who had been very kind to him.
At that time, Otto was very sincere to him, but in the end he was killed by the Moon Goddess herself. That memory made Merlin feel mixed emotions.
Merlin turned to look at Daisy, Gibberne and the others, and asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
The lizard man had a painful and reluctant look on his face, his eyes full of sadness, but his expression was extremely firm. He slowly said, "Although this is cruel and I really can't bear it, I don't want my friend to degenerate into such a monster. There is no other way, I can only send him off with tears."
Merlin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said with emotion: "As expected of a good friend, but didn't you ever think of rescuing him?"
Tears fell from the lizardman's eyes. He shook his head helplessly and said, "The divine blood in his body has been completely corrupted. It has been corroded too deeply by the evil power. There is no way to save him."
As he spoke, the lizard man raised the machete beside him with tears in his eyes and shouted, "My friend, let me take you on your way! Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I will let you go in peace."
After saying that, he rushed forward like an arrow.
