The rain was pouring down, and the once prosperous holy city was shrouded in darkness, and there were no more starry lights and laughter, only the pouring rain poured on the ruins.

The sound of rain filled the ears, and the faint crying was mixed with the rain curtain, if there was no one, intermittently.

A boot stepped on a puddle of water, making a dirty splash.

The owner of the boots is a girl wearing a cloak and exuding a hint of childishness. At this time, she was soaked all over her body, staring blankly at the ground, not daring to look up at the eyes full of despair in the ruins.

Heavy rain extinguished the flames.

The thorns of death that once ravaged the entire city have fallen silent. In the rubble on both sides of the road, people dressed as soldiers brave the torrential rain to clean up dead, carbonized plants.

“…… Over here, there are living people! Fast! Go to Anna Priest ......"

The girl kept her head down, oblivious to the busy crowd around her.

“…… Angel Sister ......"

Suddenly, a childish voice sounded.

The girl paused and stopped.

"Thank you for saving my sister...... This one is for you. ”

A dirty little boy carefully crawled out of the rubble and handed the girl what he was holding.

"Give ......"

It was a flower, a delicate ornament made of gold, with precious stones in the heart.

"I'm ......" The girl looked up slightly, as if she was a little overwhelmed by the gift of the little boy.

"I didn't steal it, it was my mother's, and now I'm giving it to you......" Although the little boy's face was dirty, the smile on his face was very innocent.

The little boy shoved the things into the girl's hand, clumsily ran back to the previous place, hid behind a noble lady and waved his hand far away, the noble lady gently hugged the little boy, and saluted the girl from a distance.

“…… Thank you. ”

The girl murmured, and there was a smile on her melancholy face, and even her steps were much lighter, and she walked quickly through the rain curtain to the forward garrison.

"Big sister! Where have you been!? I've been looking for you for a long time!! ”

As soon as she entered the garrison, the girl was stopped by a richly dressed aristocratic man.

"What's the matter?" The girl was stunned.

"That...... Hehe, I don't know, I don't say anything when I ask him. The aristocratic man touched his head and grinned and stepped out of the way, revealing the thin young man behind him with dark skin and obvious Sand characteristics.

"Your Excellency Susan, Your Majesty McCarthy is looking for you." The boy touched his chest with his left hand and knelt on one knee. It is worth noting that the four crystal clear crystals on the card ring on the young man's hand are emitting a faint blue light.

"What's the matter?" Susan took the towel from the waiter and tilted her neck to wipe her head.

He didn't say it, but ...... It seems to be related to His Excellency Chen Yin. The boy bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Lead the way." Susan stopped wiping her hair, threw the towel to the waiter, and left with the boy.

"...... 'Angel Hunting'...... The speed at which this kid grows is a little scary, don't you say? The aristocratic young man looked at Susan's back, tilted his head slightly, and said to the person dressed as the butler next to him.

"Yes, young master." The butler sighed, "Since the speaker has failed, then maybe the next saint may be her......"

"Shh The aristocratic young man frowned, "It's not the Speaker, it's a traitor!" Don't make a mistake next time! ”

"Yes, traitor! I'm sorry young master, I didn't change my mouth for a while......"

“……”

……

The Holy Mountain, the Great Hall of Light.

The original simple style of the metal auditorium, I don't know when it began, pure white and bright gold have become the main colors here, through the craftsmen's meticulous design of the curtains, carpets and those murals carefully painted by the artists, this once ordinary auditorium has a trace of sacrosanct majesty.

At this time, in the center of the auditorium, an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face sat quietly in a wheelchair, and two tall and strong priests stood left and right behind the old man.

In the stands around the center of the auditorium, dozens of senile parliamentarians sat sparsely. And on the podium facing the wheelchair old man in the auditorium, McCarthy stood there quietly, watching the old man below silent.

"What's wrong? Stopped talking? Aren't you going to judge me? The old man in the wheelchair said tremblingly.

“…… Of course, it's just ......" a hint of sadness fell into Daddy McCarthy's eyes, "I just don't understand, why would you do such a thing." ”

"What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'?" The old man in the wheelchair raised his eyebrows, "It's just a game between you and me, the king is defeated, since I failed, then I have nothing to say, let's pronounce the sentence." ”

"......" Daddy McCarthy was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his hands and said to everyone, "I hereby announce in my capacity as acting captain that I remove Luke from the post of speaker and sentence him to ...... Death penalty. ”

"Hahahaha...... You still speak up. Elder Luke burst out laughing maniacally, "That's right, that's it! You're all looking at it, this is the right! This is what happens when the seizure of power fails! ”

“……”

In the auditorium, the other old men were silent.

"What else do you want to say before you die?" McCarthy looked at Elder Luke with pity.

"I will receive eternal life next to the throne of the God of Shadows, and the Great Purge is about to begin...... I think we'll meet again soon! When the time comes...... I'm going to make your soul fly with my own hands! Hahahaha———— hahaha............"

“……”

Elder Luke, who was laughing, suddenly twitched, as if he wanted to cough a few times, but he didn't cough it out after a few efforts, and when the priests on both sides noticed that something was wrong, he had already rolled his eyes and died.

“…… It's over. McCarthy looked at the two panicked priests and the body lying crooked in a wheelchair, and suddenly sighed.

"Time is running out, I propose, start the counteroffensive plan, all the crew members who are doing it, please raise your hand if you agree."

“……”

The old people around looked at each other blankly, and slowly raised their arms one by one.

When everyone's arms were raised, Daddy McCarthy slapped the table hard: "Resolution!" Jihad Project ...... Begin!! Let's go, let's go straight to the lair of the Grey Mist!! ”

“……”

Just when McCarthy's father was full of passion on stage, a trace of hesitation and apprehension flashed in the eyes of the old people around him, but after all, he was relieved.

"Yes, after so many years, there should be a result."

"Win or lose."

"Win or lose!"

The old people finally came to an agreement, and McCarthy's father finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what's next...... The Holy Light! Let's go!! ”

"Received the order, reconfirmed, Acting Captain McCarthy, do you want to start the main engine?"

"Start!"

McCarthy looked at the other old men.

"Thirty thousand years have passed, it's time to make a break!"

……

Thundered......

In the midst of the torrential rain, a loud thunderous sound came from the direction of the holy mountain.

The nobles and civilians hiding in the ruins, the soldiers and volunteers who braved the torrential rain to search and rescue, and the loud noise of the people stopped their work one after another, straightened up and looked in the direction of the holy mountain.

In that direction, a mountain peak slowly rose!

"That's ...... Holy!! ”

"Holy Mountain!?"

"The Holy Mountain Flies Up!??"
