Chapter 298: On the Road
"It's not normal, according to general logic, shouldn't the intensity of the attack increase little by little, reaching its peak on the seventh day?" Weng Wei flicked his wand to extinguish the flame that was still burning, and couldn't help but complain: "As a result, there was no in the first two days, and as soon as he came, John's house was destroyed, what will happen in the next few days?" β
The power of hell continued to fade with the destruction of the demon army, and after the distortion and weakening of the energy field disappeared, the lights in the entire area were turned on again, and the house rented by Konstantin had been completely destroyed like a natural gas explosion...... The streets were full of nearby residents who were being controlled, and tonight these residents suffered fewer casualties under the careful control of the reincarnations, but those who were controlled by demons would have some loss of life essence...... As for the impact on health and longevity, it is not up to the reincarnators to judge.
"Do you think it's a game to break through, and the enemy goes from weak to strong, and a little bit of tiredness?" Wen Yu snorted: "I hope this is the strongest team that the Beast Gate can come up with, if there are more than half, we will be in danger." β
Zhang Haolin didn't continue to participate in the discussion, jumped on the back of the giantess kneeling on the ground, waved his hand to withdraw the holy sand liquid gold covering her arm, and pulled the hot Anie out of the back of her neck as usual...... Tired is really tired, but more often I want to take the opportunity to get close to him - only by pretending to be overconsumed after the battle can she have the opportunity to stick to the captain in front of Wen Yu.
"The halberd of destiny is powerful, but the consumption is too great." Zhang Haolin naturally put his left arm around Ani, jumped back to his teammates and said, "I guess, it must have been when I appeared in front of the Monkey Gate to take away this weapon before, and I exposed too much strength, so that he would press all his combat power in the first attack...... But fortunately, our strength has no problem dealing with mid- and low-level demons, even if the Beast Gate personally possesses me today, at most it will force me to use the Halberd of Destiny in advance, and it won't change the result. β
"The strongest creatures in Hell are the High Demons...... But in fact, there is a higher level of existence, that is, the fallen angels brought down from heaven after Lucifer's rebellion and defeat, and the weakest of the fallen angels also has more strength than the high-level demons, and the top level is naturally Lucifer himself. Konstantin recuperated and said happily after breathing smoothly: "Fortunately, our enemy is the son of the devil, and the Beast Gate has no real power, and cannot mobilize any fallen angels, so he can only command the demons in his fiefdom." If Satan had asked the Isabel sisters, I'd have walked away without saying a word of bullshit, patting my ass. β
"Even if it's true, you don't have to say it." Isabel barely calmed down, her yin and yang eyes were always there, and she saw more demons, but she was much calmer than Angela.
"Are you alright?" Wen Yu looked at the exorcist who had finally stopped coughing, and said worriedly.
"I'm fine, I can hold on until this round of errands is done."
"You mean to say that we've lasted this round, and the Beast Gate can't afford to send more demons to trouble us?"
"I can't guarantee how big hell is and how many people there are...... It should be said that how many demons are there...... No human has a chance to figure it out. Konstantin stared at his burned house and said, "But now the safest way should be to transfer, this place has been exposed, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time." β
"Then according to what Mao Dong said, let's get a bigger RV and hit the road."
ββ
The reincarnators began to take care of the affected inhabitants around them, and although the main god did not stipulate that points should be deducted for indirect casualties, it was always difficult to let go as human beings...... Ambulances and fire trucks will soon arrive, and when the matter is done, they will go overnight to get a big truck and leave the place.
At the same moment, on the surface of hell, the demon army that had been driven back after being severely injured looked coldly at him, and said nothing.
is not like the superficial and boring villains in ordinary film and television works, who are thunderous and scolding their subordinates for being rice buckets, the gate is a deep guy, he has been preparing for decades to break away from his father's aura and set up another door, just waiting for the moment when the time is ripe...... But a few powerful human exorcists who came out of nowhere ruined the whole plan, and only hated that they couldn't go up and deal with them with their own hands!
His own men failed, but this is not a crime of war. Even if you do it all over again, if you can't hurt the target's life with ruthless means, without the presence of high-level demons, and if the enemy has the halberd of destiny, the outcome of the battle will still not change...... The strength of these exorcists once again exceeded his expectations, but neither the halberd of fate nor the strength of the enemy could go against the sky, and they only hated their allies for not wanting to help tonight!
"Tell that bastard that if you still want to save face and refuse to make a move, our cooperation can only end here." The gate said gloomily to his subordinates: "How have you come over the past thousand years, let's live in the future." β
"Yes, master."
ββ
The sky lit up again, the smell of hell dissipated, and the birds flew back as if nothing had happened, standing in flocks on the wires chirping, looking down at the medical and firefighting personnel who were busy working below.
The reincarnators had already "borrowed" a large RV through Wen Yu a little closer to the city center, and the group sat in it, leaving Los Angeles and heading north along Highway 101 unhurriedly.
"I should have thought that as long as we kept moving, those demons wouldn't be able to locate us." Isabel said lightly, "And you can stay away from the one you said, mad archangel, how good!" β
"Why don't you fly, that's faster." Arnie asked curiously.
"It's not that simple." Weng Wei shook his head, although he couldn't say anything to refute it, but the reincarnators judged whether things were so simple and simple: if you can ensure safety by constantly moving, then is this task worth a B?
This RV is converted from a heavy truck, the interior space is huge, and the reincarnators have enough space to expand the tent after setting up space inside, but the only regret is that the bumps and vibrations generated by the car during driving are transmitted to the tent, obviously not comfortable when on the ground.
Several people take turns driving along the road at the most economical and safe speed, and all those who can drive take turns to control the steering wheel. Wen Yu stayed in the co-pilot when Zhang Haolin was driving, and sat back in the tent in the back compartment when it was Maodong's turn to take shifts, trying to avoid the time spent with him...... It's a bit deliberate, but there's no better way.
Food, water, gasoline, etc., are prepared to the point that there is absolutely no shortage of them, and according to the agreed plan, they will keep moving, stopping every three or four hours to let the vehicle rest for a while. Even if the Hell side could roughly determine their location, it would not be able to send a large number of demons to surround them.
It was a bold attempt, and the decision was based on the idea that "the stronger the demon, the longer it will take for the demon to enter the human realm".
But this conclusion itself is not necessarily entirely correct - the first time they encountered a sneak attack by demons, only a few small demons came, and they launched an attack in an instant, and the second time a large number of mixed mid-level demon armies came, and it took more than a minute from the appearance of the anomaly to the beginning of the battle, this change supported their conjecture, but only twice, the sample to make a judgment was too small.
But they had no choice, and although last night's battle was a great victory without casualties, it was based on waiting for work, setting up a lot of traps and consuming a lot of holy relics...... The place where there are so many relics in Los Angeles is nothing more than the storehouse at midnight and the paradise where Gabriel is stationed, the latter of which obviously cannot be delivered to the door, and they must be moved.
ββ
The sun was shining, Weng Wei used a few small spells to keep the environment in the car cool and comfortable, the RV drove smoothly, arrived at Oxnard at nine o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Ventura an hour later, they visited the local witch doctors, exorcists, and churches, and got a certain number of holy weapons, but obviously not enough to deal with the demonic attack of last night's scale and above, so they continued all the way north, preparing to collect as they went.
"John, are you sure there is no other way to inform God?"
"No, you've asked many times."
"Wouldn't it be better if we sent the hybrid angel to heaven and let him speak for us?"
"You're going to kill the bastard angels and let them speak for us?" Konstantin looked at Angela with disdain: "The idea is good, I also had similar thoughts, but after asking a few hybrid angels I know...... Only then did I know that this was not the case. β
"How?"
"No one has ever seen that bastard of God...... To be precise, no angel I know has ever seen God. Konstantin frowned and stopped complaining about God: "Only angels of a fairly high rank have the right to have direct contact with God, and only Gabriel in the human world has this permission at the moment. We may be able to find a reliable hybrid angel who is willing to die once to deliver a message to heaven on our behalf, but even then...... There are more questions as well. β
"John was right, and more importantly, we have no evidence that Gabriel rebelled, and the only testimony is that it comes from a demon." Mao Dong also interjected: "This bit of evidence is obviously impossible to convince any high-ranking angel to go to great lengths to find God, and then denounce his superiors. β
"Yes." Konstantin coughed a few times and continued: "In addition, the rules of this world are not as simple as you think, the hybrid angel must go to heaven when he dies, and then he can get a visa and come back to continue his vacation." The process of dying to heaven is to consume the essence of the soul, and this power can also be called the light personality, or the godhead - human beings have physique, angels have godhead, to put it bluntly, 'human beings are entities, angels are spirits, only God and the Son have a complete physique plus Godhead', that is, only God and the Son are true gods, and legend has it that Lucifer betrayed because he refused to kneel to the Son, who was weaker than himself......"
The reincarnators did not have the channel to learn more about the story of this world, and they urged Konstantin to continue to tell. The exorcist originally just wanted to give Angela a science lesson, but he was surprised to find that these colleagues from the East also seemed to have no common sense, so he had to continue to explain: "'Ordinary people only have physique, angels only have godheads', this is the rule at the beginning. But as time went on, a lot of the rules slowly began to ...... Anyway, if it is incomplete, it seems that God doesn't care very much - for example, hybrid angels are creatures that exist in both physique and godhead, but they are not physically complete human beings, and the godhead is weak enough to enter and exit heaven, and the angels who are descending will also be endowed with temporary bodies...... I'm not familiar with other angels, but Gabriel does have a body, not a full spirit body. β
"Well, you're just trying to say that there's no way there's no hybrid angel willing to die and report to heaven in vain, right?" Wen Yu looked at Konstantin and reluctantly accepted this fact: "It's a little interesting, or better news." β
"Yes, in addition to the above two, there is a third type of non-god existence that has the opportunity to have both a godhead and a personality." John said, "That's my goalβto be a saint." Those who have made a significant contribution to the propagation or protection of the faith have the opportunity to receive a shred of Godhead to become saints, not only to borrow a small amount of heavenly power, but also to receive a ticket to heaven. β
"Ha, don't make me laugh." Angela snorted mockingly: "A saint who gives up on himself, smokes, drinks, swears, and scolds God as a bastard? I think it's better for you to accept the arrangement to go to hell......"
"Shut up, stinky woman, I'm risking my life to protect you sisters! I've slain more demons than you've ever seen! β
Zhang Haolin stared at Konstantin's annoyed and angry performance speechlessly, and couldn't help but suspect that the main god would release another side quest to help the protagonist quit the habit of swearing, but it didn't.
"I say, John, if you want to be a saint, you have to be at least a saint."
"What does a saint look like?" The exorcist snorted coldly, but quickly calmed down: "Okay, I'm sorry Angela, I was impulsive just now, but please don't joke about other people's sore spots in the future, as a devout believer, curse a person who is helping you to hell?" Even if I didn't do it wholeheartedly for your good, I wouldn't end up like this. β
"Okay, I'm sorry." The blonde also shrugged her shoulders and apologized: "Actually, I feel in my heart that you are qualified to go to heaven, may the Lord forgive you." β
Konstantin pouted and looked out the window: "Park the car in front of the church and fix it." β
