Chapter 968: Abyssal Scheme
"That's probably what they intended at first. Leo voiced his speculation on the matter, saying, "Possession of Sergeant Tyrrell and Priest Luther was not chosen at random, but was planned in the first place. Their purpose was obviously not to infiltrate Lanxi City and spread the power of the abyss, their purpose was to destroy the credibility of the Church of the Mother of Filth in the matter of the power of the abyss, and the matter of Tyrell could only be regarded as an additional surprise. ”
When Sylvia and Alice heard Leo's words, they quickly understood the meaning of his words, and their faces immediately became gloomy.
"Could you be mistaken?" said Alice, with some disbelief.
"You can't be mistaken. Leo shook his head and said, "I guess the Lifestealer possessed by the Lutheran Priest did not completely infect the Lutheran Priest, the Luther Priest's body in the Filthy Mother divine power protects the will and soul of the Luther Priest, and also has a strong restraint effect on the Lifestealer, if there is no accident, then the Luther Priest should be able to counter the Lifestealer through the Filthy Mother's divine power in the near future and return to normal." However, Lifestealer obviously won't give Priest Luther this chance, and he will take my hand and solve Priest Luther with himself, and by the way, fulfill the purpose of the plan to frame the Church of the Filthy Mother. In fact, I felt that something was wrong during the battle, because the power of the Lifestealer was too different from the lifestealer power recorded in my data, even if it was limited and weakened, it should not be so weak, so the Lifestealer must have divided a lot of power to suppress the will of the Luther priest and the divine power of the Mother of Filth. ”
Sylvia frowned and retorted, "There seems to be a loophole in your reasoning, I remember that Lifestealers would not be so selfless and willing to put their lives on the line to carry out a plan?"
"I think the Lifestealer who possessed Priest Luther probably didn't think that under my attack, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape. Leo explained, "According to the life-stealer's life-saving methods, if it weren't for my action, he would have been able to escape back into the abyss by paying only a part of the price, so I should have been the reason why his escape plan failed." As for selflessness, I think it may be that they are controlled and have to take the risk. ”
"Controlled, who controls them?" Alice asked in a deep voice.
Leo controlled the image on the screen, turned back to the entrance of the abyss, pointed to the black fog in the depths of the abyss, and said, "It could be him." ”
Alice didn't understand who Leo was talking about, and a puzzled look appeared on her face, while Sylvia understood, and confirmed, "Abyssal Serpent?"
Leo nodded.
Ever since he sensed that there was an abyssal serpent lurking in the depths of this abyssal entrance, Leo had been paying attention to the movements of the abyssal serpent, originally thinking that when the abyssal tide occurred two days ago, the abyssal serpent would come out to make trouble, but it turned out to end with two Lifeeaters taking an adventure to possess him, and the abyssal serpent didn't even see a shadow.
Now it seems that it is not that the Abyss Snake is not moving, but that the Abyss Snake is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating and plotting, dismantling the solid defense system of Lanxi City little by little.
Lanxi City's system of defending against abyssal erosion has always been extremely stable, especially the emergence of the Church of the Victims, which has made up for the defect of logistics, so from the records that Leo can find, the adverse impact of abyssal erosion on the Black Forest world outside Lanxi City has also been decreasing day by day, and to the dozens of abyssal tides that have occurred in recent years, all the adverse effects have been completely locked in Lanxi City, and because of this, the gods and spirits in the outside world have extra energy to fight with each other and expand the domain.
However, now that there is a crisis of confidence in the Church of the Mother of Filth, which is the core of this defense system, then this defense system will inevitably have cracks in its foundation, and it may even lead to the consequences of falling apart.
Thinking of this, Leo didn't hide it, and carefully explained his suspicions and speculations.
"Impossible! After an abyssal tide, it is impossible for a second abyssal tide to occur in a short period of time. When Alice heard this, she immediately retorted.
"Yes, according to the data, the shortest interval between the two abyssal tides is almost more than twenty full moons, which is more than two years compared to the time of the Velon world. Leo nodded slightly, agreeing with Alice's statement that the Abyssal Tide could not happen again in a short time, but his words then changed and he asked rhetorically, "But what if the previous one was not the Abyss Tide?"
Hearing Leo's words, Alice was stunned and retorted, "How is this possible? The power of the abyss that poured in before was so pure and thick, and it was ......"
"What about time?" Leo interrupted Alice's rebuttal, and directly threw out a doubt, saying: "According to the information I obtained, although the power of the abyss last time was strong and powerful, and it could be ranked in the top ten in the previous abyssal tides, but what about the duration?" If I remember correctly, the last Abyssal Tide lasted the shortest, only a third of the time of its predecessor, and what if some of the higher races of the Abyss had the power to limit the time when the Abyssal Tide appeared, and move the time of the restriction back to happen?"
Hearing Leo's words, Alice couldn't refute for a while, although Leo said that this situation had never happened, but she felt that this kind of thing might be possible, but it just didn't happen.
"What now?" Alice asked, the question Sylvia had just asked.
"I don't know. Leo shook his head and said, "You'd better tell the administrators of Lanxi City what I just guessed and inferred, what they decided to do is the key, no matter how much we talk about here, it's useless." ”
Hearing Leo's words, Alice immediately realized what she needed to do the most, so she didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and left the observatory, heading towards the manager's city.
After Alice left, Leo adjusted the screen to Grand Commander Tyrell, watching the other party lie quietly in the cockpit of the Titan Mecha, at the mercy of the surrounding maintenance personnel, and the abyssal mutated parts of his body seemed to wriggle unconsciously, and no one questioned this.
"I didn't expect us to miscalculate. Sylvia looked at the picture in front of her and said with some sighs.
"Even gods will miscalculate, let alone us," Leo looked very calm, not at all frustrated by his miscalculation and being taken advantage of, as if what happened before did not exist, and said in an indifferent tone: "And the other party has been planning for a long time for today, and it doesn't make any difference whether we join or not." ”
Sylvia was silent for a moment and asked, "When do you think they'll do it?"
Leo thought for a moment and said, "It should be when the trust of the Mother of Filth Church is at its lowest and all the maggot priests here are transferred out of the scrutiny." ”
"Isn't that going to happen soon?" Sylvia frowned.
Leo nodded and explained: "Because this kind of framing of the Filthy Mother Church cannot last too long, as long as the Black Forest comes forward, all doubts will be solved, and even if the Black Forest does not come forward, the other realm gods who live in the Black Forest will also issue a revelation to defend the Filthy Mother Church, so the longer it drags on, the more likely this plan will be exposed." ”
As he spoke, Leo raised his hand to turn on the Universal Recorder, which activated a piece of Looping code written in the recorder and sent it out.
Then, I saw that the Titan mecha on Tyrell's body in the image in front of me suddenly trembled violently, and then all the functional systems were shut down, and the entire mecha lay there as if it had been scrapped.
All the maintenance personnel around were stunned, and soon they came back to their senses and began to inspect every part of the Titan Mecha, trying to reactivate the Mecha's functional system, but they were never able to do so.
At the same time, Tyrell was also surprised by the sudden change of the Titan Mecha, he found that the Titan Mecha was like scrap metal and could not be controlled at all, and he was more like a prisoner trapped in this pile of scrap metal, unable to move, and could only be at the mercy of the people around him.
At this point, he seemed to realize something, and when no one else noticed, he looked in the direction of the monitor, as if he had seen Leo on the other end.
"It's a good idea to get rid of a guy who is acting as an in-house deal first. Sylvia smiled at the trapped Tyrell and said, "Leave this guy to me! I can extract his origin, and with a Lifestealer's origin as nourishment, we shouldn't need to stay here any longer." ”
"Not for now," Leo shook his head and said, "I can now paralyze the Titan Mecha, and I can use the suspicion that Tyrell is possessed by Lifestealer, but if we attack him now, then our reason will not be tenable, and he will use it as a lever to attack us, and don't forget that you and I also have the power of the High Abyss Race." You're Belmont, and you have the power of the abyss and can explain it, so I'm not going to explain it. ”
"This will also involve you?" Sylvia frowned.
"Maybe. Leo replied uncertainly, and then said, "We have to think about the worst in everything, and think about how to deal with it, so as not to be caught off guard when we get it." As he spoke, he changed his words and added: "But don't worry too much, I have the contract ring of the Black Forest on my hand, and I also have the divine power mark of the white deer in my body, even if it involves me, with two things, I can easily get out." ”
As he spoke, Leo didn't pay any more attention to Tyrell's side, returning the image back to the entrance to the abyss.
Now that the situation over there has stabilized temporarily, unless Tyrell wants to reveal that he has been infected by the abyss, causing his body to appear a large-scale abyssal situation, he will not be able to get out of the conjoined cockpit of the Titan Mecha, and now according to the normal situation, he still needs to be connected to an external life support system to be able to maintain his crippled body for normal metabolism, at least on the surface.
As long as the life-sustaining system is connected to the main control computer, Leo will be able to monitor every detail of his body through this life-sustaining system, and even be able to do some tricks and feet secretly.
Just as Leo and Sylvia predicted, now the management of Lanxi City has become a mess, and they are all confused by the news they have just received, the maggot priest Luther has actually been abyssized, and died in the siege, this news seems to them to be as absurd as a prank joke, because in their opinion, everyone in the entire Lanxi City has been corrupted by the power of the abyss, and Luther, as one of the three priests of the Mother of Filth Church, cannot be infected by the power of the abyss, let alone abyssalized.
However, at the same time as receiving the news, there is also a full surveillance video of the maggot priest Luther's abyssalization, which makes them have to believe that all this is true, and the most worrying thing happens.
For a long time, the divine power of the Mother of Filth has been the main force of Lan Xi City to deal with the erosion of the abyss, whether it is the holy words on the surface of the mecha, or the items used by other ordinary soldiers to restrain the power of the abyss, most of them are created based on the divine power of the Church of the Mother of Filth, although there are other gods who have joined it, but those divine powers are only auxiliary.
A long time ago, some people in the Bachelor's Guild were worried about whether the divine power of the Mother of Filth would fail one day, and according to the deduction of the main control computer, it was deduced that if the effect of the divine power of the Mother of Filth on the power of the abyss was weakened or even lost, what would happen to Blue Creek City, and the results were all the same, that is, Lanxi City would inevitably fall, and the only difference was that the time of the fall was only sooner or later.
This deduction also caused a lot of turmoil in Lanxi City at that time, and even almost caused the opposition of Lanxi City and the Church of the Mother of Filth, because there were a lot of blasphemous words that were disrespectful to the Mother of Filth in this deduction.
In order to ease relations with the Church of the Mother Church of Filth, the Fellows sealed the report and banned the study of such things.
However, even so, there are still many bachelors who risk being disqualified from bachelors and engage in this kind of research, hoping to find a new force that can replace the divine power of the Mother of Filth when the divine power of the Mother of Filth fails, and become a new force against the core power of the abyss, but the result is naturally no progress, but the concept of this concern has always existed in the management, and now this concern seems to have become a reality.
"Guys, what should we do now?" someone asked.
"What else can I do?" said a manager of the Sergeant Guild decisively, "first take care of the maggot priests of the Mother of Filth, notify the Church of the Mother of Filth, and the priests and dependents of the other churches must also be monitored, and they will not be able to move freely until the security check is completed." ”
"Security, who's going to do the full check?" asked a member of the Bachelor's Club.
"Of course it'......" The sergeant manager was about to answer, but his words stopped abruptly, as he remembered that the Church of the Mother of Filth had been responsible for the security checks that had been infested by the power of the Abyss.
