Chapter 62: Blood Earned
In this way, with the complete elimination of the mastermind behind the scenes, the disaster that originally swept the entire city can be regarded as a complete end.
But......... Angels and Demons.........
Recalling the angel he saw before, Duanmu Huai was somewhat emotional. This is actually a story involving historical secrets, when the empire was carrying out the black hole project, there was also a fierce quarrel with the subspace and its evil gods, and finally decided to start the "god-making" project in the second phase of the black hole project.
The central thrust of this plan is simple.
Since it is impossible for the subspace to be completely destroyed, and the evil gods cannot be completely killed, then the characteristics of faith are used to create a god who protects mankind, the so-called fighting poison with poison, and using the gods of the subspace to deal with the gods of the subspace.
To put it bluntly, if you use a planet as an analogy, then the four Chaos Evil Gods in subspace are equivalent to the four superpowers that rule this planet, firmly controlling everything on this planet, and other forces have no respite at all. And the Black Hole Project is equivalent to directly leveling the entire planet and completely disintegrating the power of the four evil gods. The "god-making" plan is to take advantage of the opportunity of the four evil god forces to fully recover as much as possible on the nuclearized planet, and establish their own warlords and ruling forces, in order to create a force that is enough to confront the evil gods.
Of course, this plan will not necessarily succeed, but it doesn't matter, if it fails, check it again.
Until it succeeds.
Of course, at the moment, this project has been partially successful, and many civilizations and forces have taken this opportunity to "create" their own patron saints and belief systems. It's just that the strength of these indigenous gods is still too weak, and the result is that they are either taken by the four gods for lunch, or they have fled to some unknown place to hide——— anyway, there are no boundaries in subspace, and if you want to find a place to hide, you will definitely be able to find it.
Although he didn't go through an earth-shattering battle of ghosts and gods, this was what Duanmu Huai wanted, otherwise why would he risk doing these things? Why don't you just sit back and wait for the final boss to come?
Of course, Duanmuhuai's efforts were not unrewarded, as Archbishop Lelia of the Templar made him a Holy Knight and declared that he would be the city's eternal hero. gave Duanmu Huai a lot of titles and honors, and of course, material rewards are indispensable.
But for the church, of course, it doesn't end there. Since that Ewell is a follower of the Ice King, the Cult of Machines he created is naturally a big problem. Although when Duanmu Huai and the others attacked the Evil God Temple before, those mechanical cultists did not take any action, and they did not seem to know about it. But an internal trial and investigation is obviously indispensable.
But these are no longer Duanmu acacia problems.
Now that the matter here has come to an end, the next thing Duanmu Huai has to do is to pass through this world fragment, pass through the camp of the Chaos Warriors, and then get the crown of witchcraft.
However, just as Duanmu Huai left the church, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.
"You're doing well, knight."
What appeared in front of Duanmuhuai was the angel who had eliminated the nun and the devil before, and this was the first time Duanmuhuai had seen her up close. From the outside, she is a very ordinary cute girl, except for the pair of white wings behind her, she seems to be no different from a human. With short brown hair, blue eyes like the sky, and a figure wrapped in a short-sleeved lace jacket, it looks quite cute.
"I just did what I was supposed to do."
"That's not ........."
The angel girl shook her head, she walked over to Duanmu Huai's side, reached out, took his hand, and raised her head to stare at him.
"We've been watching here, watching this cycle of endless suffering. And now, that you're finally done with this, allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you. ”
The angel girl's voice is as clear as a mountain spring, beautiful, mixed with aura. Hearing her words, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows——— if it was someone else, he might not have understood what the angel girl meant, but he immediately understood what the other party wanted to say.
Obviously, in the Overworld at that time, the city was destroyed by the Ice Helllord, and the gods who believed here at that time probably lost, and then hid in a corner of some subspace to survive. However, because of their religious connections, they discovered this world of soul fragments in the subspace.
Merely...............
"Now that you already know, why don't you settle it all?"
Looking at the angel girl, Duanmu Huai raised his own questions. Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the angel girl shook her head.
"We can't do it, the world is already trapped in a samsara nightmare, too fragile. If we intervene rashly, it could lead to the collapse of the whole world. Thanks to your intervention, the original flow of fate was reversed, and we were able to intervene. ”
Saying this, the angel girl lowered her head.
"This kindness, we will remember ........."
After leaving these words, the angel girl turned to leave, and looked at her distant back, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, and then he reached out and opened the system.
What appeared in front of Duanmu Huai at this moment was a system prompt that the task was completed.
[Special quest "Extinction Day" completed]
[Mission Evaluation: Outstanding!] 】
[Reward: Obtain the special skill "Paladin's Summon" (you can summon the 'Paladin' to appear with 3 Graveyard Cards, and all Servants will have +2/+0 and 'Rush' effects in battle)]
[Your reputation in the Soul Fragment "Holy City" is 'Reverence']
[Your reputation in the Soul Fragment "Heaven" is 'Respect']
[Permanently obtain the World Soul Fragment "Holy City"]
Very good!
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai clenched his fists excitedly.
If you want to say that the biggest gain of this mission is the world soul fragment!
As mentioned before, soul fragments are projections of a place in subspace, but they do not disappear. However, almost every soul fragment is ownerless. So basically, the psyker who finds the soul fragment is equivalent to the owner of the soul fragment.
In the mission prompt this time, "Holy City" and "Heaven" are both world soul fragments, but according to Duanmu Huai's conjecture, "Heaven" should be the place where the angel girls were before, and they had no way to get in touch with "Holy City" before. It is only now connected to the "Holy City" through Duanmu Huai, which means that in the future, Duanmu Huai can also communicate with the angels located in "Heaven" through here, and summon a bunch of angels to come out to fight......... Well, that's a lot more poker than summoning some kind of ghost or something.
And there are two completely different kinds of World Fragments.
One is a simple functional fragment, just like the [Puppet Room] [Ghost Mansion] and [Sky City] that Duanmu Huai got before, they are more like factory-like characteristics.
【Doll room】You can make dolls.
Ghost Mansion can convert destroyed units into wraiths.
Sky City is capable of producing (Creation) and (Mechanic) sets.
It's all a single, fixed soul card.
But the World Soul Fragment is completely different, it is a complete area, just like the "Holy City" where Duanmu Huai is located now, it not only includes the entire city, but even the farms and woods outside the city. Suffice it to say, this is almost equal to a perfect, self-sufficient regional fragment.
What's more, once a Soul Walker obtains a World Fragment, he can travel through it at will, and he can also convert anything in the World Fragment into a Soul Card to summon it.
For example.........
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, and soon, a soul card appeared in his hand.
【Missionary priest. Lorena (Gold)】
[Cost: 3]
[Attack: 4]
[Defense: 5]
[Lorena's Holy Water (Consumption 1): Restore the unit's health by 2 points, draw a card]
[Lorena's Iron Fist (Consumption 2): Gives the opponent an attack equal to the Servant's 'highest attack power among the Servants on their own battlefields']
With this card, Duanmu Huai can take Lorena out of the Holy City and summon her to the main material world to fight together.
But...............
"This Nima is too perverted......... right?"
Looking at the effect of [Lorena's Iron Fist], the corners of Duanmu Huai's eyes twitched, no wonder that girl looked soft and weak, but she was so able to fight. The highest attack power among his servants is Ogis, which means that Lorena's punch is equivalent to Ogis's attack power?
In addition, the special skill [Call of the Paladin] obtained this time is also quite in line with Duanmu Huai's heart. This move is to eliminate the number of graveyard cards, and then summon the heroic spirit of the paladiment into the field, and it can also add 2 attacks to all the servants present, which means that Duanmu Huai can have a powerful army offensive in a short period of time!
After all, although Duanmu Huai could also use dolls to shop cards in the past, the attack power of dolls was too low after all, and at most they could only do something opportunistically like they did in the temple before.
But that's different now!
Duanmu Huai even thought about how to use these cards.
First use the [Doll] with 0 consumption to summon the card shop, then launch an attack, and after the puppet dies, activate the [Paladin's Summon], consume the number of graveyard cards to summon the [Paladin], and then launch another attack. If the paladon dies again, he will even be able to activate the [Ghost Mansion] and summon the wraith at the same time as the [Paladin] is destroyed, and launch a third wave of attacks!
Combined with the +2 attack effect under the [Paladin's Summon] skill effect, it is enough to sweep most of the armies on this continent!
What's more, it's almost all zero-cost!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt that the sky was clear, the rain had stopped, and he could do it.
This mission......... What a bloody gain!
