Chapter 843: Light and Shadow Church

Happy Town has fallen.

Upon witnessing the power of the Lord of Light and Shadow, and the betrayal of the Crimson Ghost, the Blue Ghost and Cyan Ghost rushed without hesitation to the Spatial Teleportation Array, quickly setting up bombs and preparing to escape the scene.

As the teleportation activated, accompanied by a deafening explosion, the two-story warm white government building was instantly destroyed, countless fragments of the building scattered in all directions, and the internal array collapsed as well, preventing further teleportation in the same manner.

While leaving through the Teleportation Array, the Blue Ghost’s heart was actually relieved.

Why?

Because if the current situation continued, Happy Town would eventually be doomed, and he would inevitably die in the upcoming battles.

Throughout this period of combat, he had become keenly aware of the mechanisms of those outsiders, and the terrifying way they enhanced their powers through fighting. Since they were now at a disadvantage, they would certainly face even greater failures in the future.

Under normal circumstances, he couldn’t run away.

But…

The Lord of Light and Shadow descended!

This is not a normal situation!

It is a fatal danger, a potentially deadly threat to the rule of Central Island, information he must personally report. Under such circumstances, leaving directly via the Teleportation Array was acceptable; he could even suspect that the opponent was the root of the change.

The specific facts are not important; what matters is how he conveys them, how he can make the upper echelons believe him, and thereby understand his actions.

….

As the official defenses were shattered, the residents of the town became helpless sheep, looking desperately to the center, gazing at that towering figure, their hearts filled with complex emotions.

Perhaps the fate of being ruled had ended, but wasn’t this the beginning of another tragedy?

Will we die?

This speculation and questioning lingered in the hearts of every resident in the town, feeling helpless and sorrowful.

At this moment, Mingzhu flew overhead of the town with blazing Fire, looking at everyone, holding a microphone in his hand, his eyes burning like Fire.

“Do you… want to truly live!?”

“Laugh when happy, cry when sad, shout when in pain, truly express your feelings, live as a true person, truly living!”

That voice spread outward through the speakers, its penetration strong enough to shatter glass, reaching every resident of Happy Town, even piercing through their hearts.

People looked at him.

Their gaze was bewildered yet complex.

They were like mice raised in a laboratory all their lives, never knowing what it meant to live, to truly live, only knowing that this was their life, unhappy but mandatory.

And because of this constraint, the shackles placed from birth, even faced with the current situation, the town’s residents still did not riot or shout.

Because it wasn’t dignified.

And at this moment, the residents of Happy Town did not respond as Mingzhu imagined, remaining silent, as if they had grown accustomed to it.

Until suddenly, a child’s cry echoed, quickly silenced, seemingly by someone forcibly covering its mouth to prevent any sound from escaping, a parent following the accustomed rule, protecting the child, instinctively suppressing its sound.

To prevent a baby’s crying, nearly 100% of children were vaccinated with Happiness Vaccine at birth, suppressing their impulse to cry, making them feel happy from the beginning.

Thus, the children of Happy Town were not prone to crying.

“Anyway, those guys are all dead, it doesn’t matter what we do now, right? Why, why still persist in this way.” A child’s low roar echoed, the sound was not loud, but it was clear enough to be heard.

Then, the second and third cries emerged, the sound possessed a particular Magic Power that interfered with those around, causing many adults, who initially didn’t want to cry, to cry seeing those around them crying.

The sorrow repressed for so long erupted, wailing and crying echoed throughout Happy Town.

Mingzhu looked at the people below, his expression slightly surprised, though the scene did not unfold as he imagined, yet this… seemed acceptable?

Then, the body of the Lord of Light and Shadow slowly floated upwards, rise like the sun, gentle Light falling on the earth and shining on people’s hearts.

And below, Mingzhu followed with a shout.

“From today on, Happy Town, will be renamed Light and Shadow Church.”

….

Autumn Island, inside a private tavern.

“Huh?”

A black-skinned beauty with strange patterns adorning her body exclaimed, directly slammed the cup she was holding onto the table, growling, “What did you say? Happy Town was conquered? And renamed Light and Shadow Church?”

“Yes, that’s the intelligence, and its accuracy has been confirmed multiple times, there is no problem.”

The bartender in front of the counter sighed, seemingly unfazed after witnessing this scene countless times, thoroughly numb. When he first heard about it, his expression wasn’t much better than anyone else’s.

If Happy Town was conquered by incoming Spiritualists and Transcenders, he’d have nothing to say, just assume other forces were more united, progressing faster, but such actions would also more easily attract the firepower of Central Island.

However…

The present situation is, Happy Town suddenly saw the appearance of a Lord of Light and Shadow, then with overwhelming strength, he conquered the town and transformed it into his Light and Shadow Church.
