Chapter 1627: Chapter 354: Mortal Flesh

The sapphire blue battle armor has a streamlined shell, with a propulsion speed that almost reaches the speed of sound, the howling sound is enormous… making the quiet night not so peaceful.

Caron Chancellor had no intention of looking back, the feeling as if his heart was tightly clenched, ready to be shattered at any moment, made his body feel cold despite the constant temperature setting of the battle armor.

How should he report to Justin… inform the Commander that this mission has already failed?

Telling them that the mission failed, and the battle armor brigade we spent decades developing just presented the enemy with a spectacular fireworks show.

And then proudly say: Yes, only I escaped, haha!

Could that woman also be a Descending Angel from the Holy Church?

But Caron Chancellor quickly dismissed the thought… the Black Religious Congregation has special means to detect divine power, and the woman who annihilated the brigade evidently did not possess divine power.

“Caron Chancellor, this is the control room, I’m Justin, please report your current status… why has the signal of the Neo-Human Independent War Division almost disappeared?”

Just then, a voice from the submarine’s control room, Captain Justin’s voice, sounded in his ears.

“I…” Caron Chancellor opened his mouth, the sound that was about to spray from his throat was suddenly blocked as if by something… he stared blankly at the internal display screen in the helmet of the battle armor, with nothing chasing him from behind.

“Caron Chancellor, please report your current status! I’m repeating, please immediately report your mother’s status!”

“Neo-Human Independent War Division, annihilated…” Caron Chancellor eventually bit his teeth, his voice unbearably bitter, “We discovered Lamias, but simultaneously encountered a terrifying woman… it was her who wiped out the Neo-Human Independent War Division!”

Perhaps when he started the battle armor’s propulsion system, half of the Neo-Human Independent War Division still remained, but at this moment Caron Chancellor was unable to contact any of the warriors — including Carbin, the brigade’s commander whom he considered his confidant.

In just a matter of a few minutes, the Neo-Human Independent War Division had been annihilated, making it almost impossible for Caron Chancellor to accept this fact… had it not been for the automatic control generally only possible in emergency situations, he might have fainted and fallen.

“What did you say?!” On the communication device, was the shocked voice of Captain Justin.

“The footage… this is the footage from moments ago, I’m sending it back now.”

Caron Chancellor’s voice was hoarse, then he suddenly took a deep breath, “I will not return alone… from now on, I will initiate real-time combat synchronization footage!”

Turning around, once again facing that terrifying location… the direction where the terrifying woman resides, Caron Chancellor now had a determined look in his eyes.

Now, if he fled back, his fate would be foreseeable… he refused to return with the stigma of a deserter and a coward, only to face that terrifying woman again — even if it meant dying in battle!

Once again, the propulsion system started, the enormous power was about to be sprayed out, but at that moment, Caron Chancellor within the battle armor suddenly lost consciousness.

Without his instructions, the battle armor eerily stopped in the night sky, not moving at all… the intelligent program inside the battle armor was currently diagnosing the operator’s situation.

The conclusion reached was that the life signs of the battle armor’s user, Caron Chancellor, had disappeared… this data was promptly transmitted back to the control room of the giant submarine located in the distant ocean.

And this was precisely when large-scale resident deaths began appearing within the town.

…

Meanwhile, the other three combat brigades, preparing to capture Father Strala, under the command of Lady Katerina, had also completed their landing.

They would bypass the town center and head directly to the rear of Father Strala’s church from the edges.

“I wonder if Caron Chancellor has already completed the mission on his end.”

Within the Battle Nun brigade, a female temporarily replacing Sister Grant as the leader of the Battle Nun brigade couldn’t help but whisper beside Lady Katerina.

“Send two people to follow me…” Lady Katerina suddenly said, “The last time Grant communicated with me, she seemed to be in a nearby sea rock cave… even if she is dead, I hope to find her remains.”

“Right away!” The acting commander nodded, then hesitated, “But what about the command of the operation here?”

“There’s nothing to command.” Lady Katerina shook her head, “The three brigades have all deployed their forces, only two possible outcomes: we either capture Strala or fail to capture him. Whether I’m here or not makes no difference… the Battle Nun brigade will temporarily be under your command.”

Soon, Lady Katerina left with two Battle Nuns — the other two on vacation high-level members, who were of her same status, pretended not to see Lady Katerina’s departure.

They agreed with Lady Katerina’s remarks.

The mobilization of the three combat brigades aimed to capture Strala alive. If this fails, with or without Lady Katerina, the consequences of failure remain unchanged.

“Set out!”

At the command, the large team was ready to set off, moving quickly — but just at this moment, the warriors upfront suddenly stopped.

Because a black cat was blocking their path.

How could a cat block so many powerful warriors?

Yet this cat stood upright and spoke with human words, “We’ve met again, everyone.”

Met… again?

The crowd was puzzled.

Everyone immediately searched their memories, but none had any recollection of this talking black cat.

Of course, they wouldn’t be scared of a talking cat — as members of the Non-Human world, what strange things have they not seen?

But soon, the front-line warriors of the three brigades fell silently and one after another… like a domino, the scale and speed of this collapse left no time for a fear response!

“Do you know, death is like this, in less than a breath, no matter how brilliant the former life was, when it goes out, it all leads to the same darkness…” The black cat’s voice hovered in the ears of those at the end of the queue.

It was the whisper of death.

“Hopefully, this is the last time…”

And, a sighing sound.

The black cat turned and left, only managed to cross the road by the beach, they fell in large numbers, not in pain, not screaming, just as if they fell asleep.

Then turning into gradually cooling, eventually freezing corpses.

…

…

The mansion, guest room adjacent to the Xiao Lin side… at the terrace.

As the flames constantly illuminated Lamias’s face, she still couldn’t hear a single sound… the mansion remained quiet, she could even hear the sound of insects singing from the grass below.

The massacre happening afar seemed like a silent film.

“Is this Eve?!” Lamias held a telescope in one hand, with the other hand clawing tightly on the terrace railing, leaning out, “It was an entire Neo-Human Independent War Division…”

The combat… the one-sided slaughter stopped, not knowing when.

Lamias stiffly stood at the terrace… the hand holding the telescope suddenly drooped down powerless.

At this moment, Eve slowly returned, and the double blades in its hands were nowhere to be seen. Apart from a slight trace of dust on its clothes, there was no visible anomaly.

Seeing Eve downstairs and looking up, Lamias was startled and instinctively stepped back, bumping into the table on the terrace, knocking over the water cup on it.

The sound of the glass cup shattering rang clearly.

Lamias immediately became somewhat flustered, as if knocking over the cup and breaking it had disturbed the manor’s tranquility, like she had done something wrong.

She squatted down, hastily reaching out to pick up the pieces of glass.

But at this moment, Eve’s voice suddenly rang out.

Lamias looked up sharply.

Right now, Eve stood in the middle of the terrace, in front of her, emotionless… The cold voice sounded in Lamias’s ears at this moment, “Miss Lamias, I will take care of this cleaning. So, if there’s nothing else, perhaps you can rest early. It’s late at night, and I hope you don’t make noise, as it will affect the master’s normal rest… Good night.”

How loud could the sound of a falling glass cup be… Could it compare to the explosions of those Fiery Meteors?

But that was a silent battle — at least, the manor had maintained an unusual tranquility throughout, with the most prominent sound being the breaking of that glass just now…

“I will…” Lamias took a deep breath, “Right away!”

She immediately turned, quickly walked to the bed, and then pulled the covers over her head… Throughout the process, she didn’t even dare to look back at Eve!

In her mind, equations were being drawn furiously.

A single Eve could easily slaughter the Neo-Human Independent War Division, and the whole process took absolutely no more than three minutes — even when the God-slaying Armor was present, facing the Neo-Human Independent War Division, Lamias felt she could only rely on terrain for guerrilla warfare, to defeat them one by one, rather than slaughtering them as Eve did.

Mansion’s owner Luo Qiu is Eve’s master!

According to what Eve once said, she willingly submits to Master Luo Qiu… And the master easily suppressed Paladin Vasco.

He guaranteed that as long as he stayed within the town’s range, he wouldn’t die.

So… just how powerful is this mansion’s owner, Luo Qiu!

There’s absolutely no point of reference — absolutely none, and Lamias’s equations in her mind couldn’t be formulated!

“Wait a minute…” Lamias suddenly got a chill, “How could such a terrifying guy possibly protect me just because he asked me to do one thing?!”

The mansion’s owner, Luo Qiu, didn’t even have the slightest interest in the Reversed Holy Relic she possessed… He agreed to hold back Paladin Vasco just because she threw out the circle of Structural Alchemy.

So…

What on earth could she do to make him feel that protecting her was a reasonable thing?!

Lamias suddenly sat up — stifled.

But Eve was no longer on the terrace, and the glass fragments were cleaned up at some unknown time, and a new cup was even placed back on the table on the terrace.

Lamias instinctively swallowed, feeling as if she was in an unprecedentedly mysterious place… That giant unsolvable puzzle was the source of her fear.

“Forget it… Do I even stand a chance to resist…” Lamias let out a long breath, looking complexly towards the night outside the terrace.

But at this moment, she saw a figure standing on the terrace… Luo Qiu.

“You?” Lamias was startled and quickly threw off the covers, walking swiftly off the bed, “Didn’t Eve say you were resting?”

The unilateral slaughter just now didn’t even transmit a sound to the manor, and if she had fallen asleep before the slaughter, she wouldn’t have been affected at all…

“I read a book for a while, but I was about to fall asleep.” Boss Luo smiled casually, then suddenly said, “Those earlier, they came to take you back, right.”

“They did…” Lamias had no intention of hiding anything, obedient like a tamed kitten at this point, “Thank you…”

“You attracted them intentionally, right?” Boss Luo continued.

“I…” Lamias opened her mouth, speechless, her heart racing, as if all her strength was drained, even her teeth clattering slightly.

“It’s okay.” Boss Luo just smiled, “Since I promised to protect you during this time, anything that happens during this period is within the protection range.”

“You’re not mad at me?” Lamias was shocked and looked up puzzledly, “Why?”

She even forgot her fear, having only one unexplained question in her heart.

“I said I would require you to do one thing.”

“What… What can I do for you?” Lamias mocked herself, “Or rather, what could someone as strong as you need from a mortal like me? Surely you can’t be interested in my body? I can’t compare to the women around you.”

“Precisely because you are ordinary.” Boss Luo said solemnly, “As an ordinary person, you’re weak enough… So, with my current abilities, I can achieve several things… I plan to send you somewhere to do something.”

“You?” Lamias couldn’t help frowning, “I can’t understand, your maid can wipe out one of the most powerful divisions of the on vacation in minutes, what’s left in this world that you can’t do… and instead needs a mortal like me?”

Luo Qiu didn’t speak, only silently looking at Lamias.

Lamias opened her mouth, finally sighed, nodded, and said: “Alright, I guess I don’t really have a choice… Speak, where exactly do you want to send me, and what do you want me to do?”

“I’ll send you back… to the past.”

“What?”

“Please help me find someone.”

At the same time, a giant light beam shot up from the center of the town straight into the sky… The brightness of this beam was so strong that Lamias couldn’t even open her eyes.

…

After a while, when Lamias felt ready and slowly opened her eyes, she was so astonished by the scene before her that her mind went completely blank!

The sky seemed to be dyed red with blood.

On the ground, blood flowed like rivers, and brave warriors battled tirelessly on the battlefield… Apart from the human warriors, there were stone giants, enormous beasts, and even huge serpents spewing lava.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and in the distance, the sea surged with towering waves, like magma welling from Hell pouring over the land…

“What is this place…” Lamias was so horrified by the scene that she sat weakly on the ground.

Suddenly, a voice like divine wrath echoed from the sky.

“Hades! Do you truly wish to start this war and destroy the entire Divine Nation?”

Ha… Hades?!
