It was Cross who shot first, because it was something that happened on his turf, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.

After he explained the situation to Holmes, Holmes deduced that the Resistance's purpose was not to capture the city, but to do something more important. Subsequently, Holmes asked Cross to increase his troops in Yanrong City in accordance with the basic tactics of the occupying army, with the aim of destroying the resistance. It's just that Holmes's purpose is not to exterminate the resistance, but to use this opportunity to deal with that super-powerful being.

What did Cross say more about Holmes's arrangement.

In the church, Holmes was second only to Feist, and was the most intelligent senator. Besides, Holmes came to Odin City in person to deal with that super-powerful being and to end the battle five years ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the patriarch named Sakya.

Holmes's judgment turned out to be quite accurate.

Using the spiritual barrier created by Homs, the three of them stayed near Rock Rong City without being discovered by the resistance. The Resistance's attack on the barracks and the seizure of the energy body warehouse gave Cross a better understanding of the super-powerful being and the people around him.

Obviously, the girl with strong mental power is the real key.

It was her presence that made the officers and soldiers of the occupying army an ornament and made the occupying army give up resistance.

This scene is exactly the same as what happened at the Odin City Modulation Center. Under the girl's mind control, the officers and soldiers of the Resistance Army were unable to fight at all.

It's just that Cross is getting more and more confused.

You must know that what the girl has is the spiritual power of the patriarch. Obviously, she certainly wasn't concocted by that super-powerful being. There is only one person who can concoct the patriarch, and that is Holmes. The question is, how could Holmes concoct a senator for the enemy?

Could it be that Homs has an ulterior secret?

Or is this some kind of research being done in Holmes?

The more he thought about it, the more confused Cross became.

As a result, Cross also became worried.

That super strong existence, and that girl with the spiritual power of the patriarch, did not appear elsewhere, but appeared in the area under his control, could it have something to do with Homs? Holmes concocted that girl, could it be specifically aimed at a certain patriarch?

If so, then Cross's position is in jeopardy.

The thought of the ongoing project made Cross even more worried.

Obviously, his performance made Holmes very unhappy, so Holmes deliberately made these things up for the purpose of getting rid of the people who got in the way.

And one more point, that is, the Sagas who came with Homs.

Although Cross knows that she is a spiritual elder similar to Holmes, she is different from Holmes, in addition to possessing strong mental power, she also has other superpowers. In other words, she is a comprehensive patriarch and the most special patriarch.

You must know that among the twelve elders, only Feister has various superpowers.

Before Sakya, the other ten patriarchs, even Holmes, were only good at one kind of superpower.

Sakya is an exception.

Why did Holmes concoct a composite patriarch like Sakya?

Also, if it's just to deal with that super powerful being, why did Homs bring Sakya with him?

After the battle five years ago, Holmes remodulated all the elders and enhanced their superpowers, with the aim of dealing with that super-powerful being. Cross has plenty of confidence, and Holmes can't possibly not be confident in his masterpiece.

If it was just to deal with that super-powerful being, there was no reason for Homs to bring the Sakya at all.

At least until Cross misses, there was no reason for Holmes to let another veteran meddle in Cross's affairs.

Then, there is only one possibility for Holmes to bring the Sakya, and that is to use the Sakya to deal with Cross and make Cross willingly accept defeat.

There is no doubt that Sakya's combat effectiveness must have surpassed that of the other senators, and only Fest.

Although Holmes's mental power can control other patriarchs, controlling the patriarchs is definitely not as simple as controlling other modulators. To put it bluntly, every patriarch has strong enough spiritual power, and they all have strong combat effectiveness. If Holmes' mind control fails, any Patriarch can easily kill him. To be on the safe side, he would definitely bring a stronger senator.

Thinking of this, Cross felt very uncomfortable.

It's just that he has no other choice.

With Sakya here, he couldn't deal with Homs at all. Even if Sakya wasn't the strongest Patriarch, it was impossible for Cross to defeat both Patriarchs at the same time.

The problem is, Cross doesn't want to sit still.

Whatever Holmes had planned, Cross had to keep his position and not be a fish on the chopping block.

Well, there is only one way.

That's it, kill that girl!

Cross thought it through. If all this was arranged by Holmes, then it is very likely that the girl will replace him. To put it bluntly, that girl is Holmes's masterpiece, and her value is to break into the Resistance and then control the Resistance. If she succeeds, not only will she be able to eradicate the resistance of the eastern regions of the Northern Continent, but Homs will also be able to concoct the same resistance against other regions. More importantly, it is enough to prove that she is superior to the other patriarchs, and is more in line with the Church's purpose of controlling the whole world.

The results are clear. Holmes doesn't care who is the patriarch of the church, all he needs is the patriarch.

If he could kill the girl, Holmes would have no choice.

It was precisely because of this that Cross did not rush towards Chu Tianjiang, but rushed towards Iskar and Soya, who were fleeing.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang obviously won't let him deal with Iska.

"Your opponent is me!" Chu Tianjiang stood in front of Cross.

Cross's facial muscles twitched a few times, he wasn't afraid of Chu Tianjiang, but the opportunity to kill that girl was slipping away from him.

Even if she could kill Chu Tianjiang, that girl would run away.

What to do?

"Cross, prove your worth." Holmes spoke, or rather gave the order.

"Doctor, he'......"

"What, don't you have faith?"

Cross gritted his teeth, and Holmes said it to death, leaving him with no room to back down. Obviously, he had to kill Chu Tianjiang who was in his way.

Of course, Cross would not despise Chu Tianjiang.

The battle in Odin City had already shown that Chu Tianjiang was even more powerful than it had been five years ago. The most direct proof is that Holmes's hand-concocted "Locke" poses no threat to him. If his combat effectiveness is comparable to that of five years ago, then he is finished in Odin City.

Cross didn't hesitate any longer and immediately transformed.

Although the patriarch has a transcendent status, in essence, the patriarch is also a modulator, but the most unique modulator.

Only by transforming can the patriarch exert his superpowers to the extreme.

The patriarch usually maintains the state of an ordinary person, which is equivalent to suppressing the superpower, and the key reason for doing so is directly related to the patriarch's super superpower. That is, because he has too powerful superpowers, and the patriarch himself is not substantially different from other modulators, but the superpowers come from that kind of strange crystal, but it is the body of the patriarch who releases the superpower, if it has been in the strongest state, the patriarch's body will be crushed, or the use of superpowers is consuming the life of the patriarch, so it must be suppressed at ordinary times to reduce the burden on the body. What's more, after each transformation, the Patriarch needs to be reinvigorated through concoction.

Of course, if only other modulators are being dealt with, the patriarch does not need to transform at all.

Even when he was suppressed, the Patriarch possessed superpowers that surpassed those of any other modulator, and could easily take out other modulators. In addition, the strong spiritual power was enough to make the other modulators stay away from the patriarch, and it was impossible to attack the patriarch at all.

Only when encountering the toughest opponents will the patriarch need to transform to enhance his superpowers.

Chu Tianjiang is exactly such an opponent.

Cross transformed, Chu Tianjiang didn't dare to be careless, but he didn't immediately summon Bagar, because he had a fused colorful battle armor.

"Chu Tianjiang, you'd better not underestimate Cross." Holmes seemed to be watching the battle.

Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly, he didn't underestimate Cross.

"Cross, let him see how you've changed in the last five years."

"Doctor, I'm sure I won't let you down!"

The transformation was complete, and Cross became a behemoth, expanding in size by at least a hundredfold. Unlike the original Reka, after the transformation, Cross completely lost his human appearance, except that his body became extremely large, and he didn't look as terrifying as the other concoctors. In appearance, it looks like a balloon floating in the air with a strange shape, or a huge ball of flesh is more accurate.

"If you get bigger, you have to be powerful?" Chu Tianjiang felt a little funny.

You must know that the size of the body has nothing to do with the strength of the combat effectiveness.

"Chu Tianjiang, you won't be able to laugh soon."

Chu Tianjiang glanced at Holmes and turned his gaze to Cross.

At this point, Cross's body began to contract, then to expand, and then to contract, and expand, repeatedly, as if he were breathing with his whole body.

Sensing the changes in the environment, Chu Tianjiang immediately knew about Cross's superpowers.

This guy is absorbing life!

To be precise, when he breathes, he absorbs the life force of all the creatures around him, and transforms this life force into his ability.

Obviously, this is a very unique and very rare superpower.

What's more, it is not only the life in the surrounding environment that is affected, but also Chu Tianjiang.

Even if Chu Tianjiang was not an ordinary life, but a pure energy body life, he also had a life force, and his life force was not much different from other living beings.

Cross is a monster, a monster made by Holmes!
