The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The reason why Leo judged that the cultists' attack on the exchange team in the school city was a well-planned move was entirely because the size of the cultists in front of them was too large.

Although there are so many heretics and heretic organizations in the old continent, even the Church of True God, which has completely controlled the old continent, cannot completely clean them up. Heresy hunters to reduce the growth of cultists, but this does not mean that cultists can easily organize a team of more than 1,000 cultists, even if it is possible, generally no cult organization will Make this suicide decision.

The reason is simple. For the Church of True God, those scattered cultists are very difficult to clean up. On the contrary, the gathered cultists are easy to deal with. They are like living targets, so no matter how crazy the cultists are, they will never be in the same area Gather more than a hundred people, and even fewer core believers.

But now, almost all members of the cult team in front of Leo's eyes have been baptized by the power of the evil god, and their bodies are polluted and blessed by the power of the evil god. Any one placed elsewhere is enough to become a core member of the underground cult organization, but So many core members were all gathered together, and three blasphemous priests who had clearly transformed into evil gods and divine creatures commanded a sneak attack on a school exchange team. If it weren't for these cultists, their minds would have been completely messed up because of the mutation. , then it is very likely that the exchange team of Xuecheng has something that these cultists value very much.

However, what puzzled Leo was that he had spent so many days with those people in the academy city. If those people really had something that the cultists valued so much, he should be able to find out.

Just when Leo was wondering about the size of the group of cultists in front of him, the blasphemous priest who turned into a black shadow suddenly let out a piercing scream, as if giving some order.

Then I saw that all the cultists seemed to have entered a state of frenzy. While making strange screams, they were also reciting some prayers that they might not know what they meant. The mutated part of the body is also constantly growing pustules, bursting, and healing.

What spewed out after the pustules ruptured was not the diseased pus, but a cloud of white air. These white air gathered but did not disperse. Under the traction of an invisible force, they floated to the open space in the middle, and gradually gathered into a ball. Soon a white mist formed.

At the moment when the white mist formed, a huge pustule suddenly grew on the body of the profane priest who was like rotten meat and couldn't even walk normally, and when the pustule grew to twice the size of his body, There was a gap in the gap, and a golden light, which looked particularly sacred, was ejected from the mist, pouring into the white mist, and dyed the white mist into gold.

At this moment, all the cultists around suddenly broke away from the state of fanaticism, kneeling on the ground one by one like the devout believers of the Church of True God, singing loudly the prayers in praise of the Holy Mother, if you put aside these Regardless of the hideous appearance of the cultists, the whole scene looks very solemn and sacred.

In the end, the profane priest with countless tentacles intertwined into a thread slowly floated in front of the golden mist, and then he seemed to hesitate a bit, stopped and did not follow up.

Seeing this situation, the black shadow blasphemy priest suddenly said dissatisfied: "If you don't want to, you can let me do it."

Although the voice of the black shadow is not loud, it is very penetrating. Not only his companions in front of him can hear it, but also Leo who is hidden in the surrounding forest can also hear it very clearly, just like saying it directly in his ear the same.

Although the other blasphemy priest couldn't speak normally, the pustules on his body were rapidly ruptured and healed under the control of his muscles, and he let out a sneering sound.

Perhaps it was because the rotten flesh blasphemed the priest's puffing sound to be too insulting. The blasphemed priest who was still hesitating didn't stay any longer, but pushed his body into the golden mist.

At this time, all the heretics stood up from the ground, raised their hands, and chanted the praise prayer with a louder voice. Even the two blasphemy priests also used their own methods to integrate into the chanting of the heretics. For a moment, the power of the evil gods in all the cultists' bodies merged into a whole, and gathered towards the cloud of golden mist.

Leo, who stood by and watched these cultists performing religious ceremonies, also became a little serious. Although the three blasphemy priests looked very intimidating, their overall strength was not particularly strong. The power of the evil god in their bodies was at most equivalent to The level of a fifth-level psyker, and other cultists are just ordinary warriors who have mastered a little bit of extraordinary power.

This kind of combat power may be able to pose a threat to the people in the camp, but it is nothing to Leo, not to mention him, even Penny and Joan, if they cooperate with each other, they can also fight this battle. A group of heretics wiped out in these mountains.

But now the situation seems to have changed, because when all the cultists connected their own power of the evil god together in the ceremony led by the blasphemy priest, Leo felt that the power of the evil god gushing out of the golden mist was rapidly increasing. Within a short period of time, it was already comparable to a sixth-level psychic, and now it was growing towards the level of a seventh-level psyker.

"God's descent, they are summoning the demigod of the Son of the Virgin." Leo activated his spiritual vision, and saw the situation in the golden mist through the eyes of reality. In his eyes, the divine power of the blasphemous priest in the mist was rapidly transforming into a god. Sex, and the essence has gradually transformed from a passively infected divine creature to a truly divine creature.

Leo quickly analyzed and deduced that when the ceremony was finally completed, the blasphemous priest would be temporarily transformed into a demigod of the Son of the Virgin equivalent to a seventh-level psyker. This should be the limit of this ceremony. , and more than half of the people in this ceremony should also be drawn out of all power, including life, to use it as the energy required to maintain this semi-god state after the ceremony is over.

As for the transformed blasphemous priest, I'm afraid it will not be easy in the end, and the end will not be much better than those cultists whose lives have been taken away. Obviously, the blasphemous priest also knows this, so he hesitates.

"Is it just necessary to use such a drastic method to deal with those people in the camp?" Leo couldn't help but feel puzzled at this moment, because these cultists' behavior was obviously a bit too much, using demigods to deal with a group of kingdoms of the exchange team of the school city Knights and caravan guards feel as absurd as shooting mosquitoes with cannons.

"Could it be that there are demigods hidden in the camp?" Leo couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, because only this could explain the exaggerated behavior of these cultists in front of him.

Although Leo was puzzled by the situation in front of him, he was also curious about what the Son of the Virgin demigod created by the cultists through the ritual would look like, but he didn't intend to just wait for the ceremony in front of him to be completed. He felt the golden The power of the evil god surging in the mist has already crossed the hurdle of a seventh-level psyker, and when it began to produce real divine power, it was decided that it was time to make a move.

I saw that he did not use his best and most powerful thunder gun, but directly activated the punishment mark in his body, aroused the power of divine punishment in it, communicated with the origin of the outside world, and threw a beam from The punishing power of this world.

A dazzling white light appeared above the valley out of thin air, like a huge searchlight shining on the valley, all the cultists burned like dead leaves on fire, without even a scream It was burned to ashes, and the two blasphemy priests persisted for a while, but they still couldn't stop their bodies from burning. They tried to escape, but their bodies could not move as if they were nailed to the ground. It was burnt into a coke-like substance.

On the other side, the blasphemous priest who had begun to demigodize and transform in the golden mist did not burn immediately like other cultists, but he also disintegrated quickly under the light of God's punishment, and the demigod, Son of the Virgin condensed in his body was also burning. Struggling, trying to escape the light.

But all this was in vain. After all the cultists around were turned into ashes, the transformation ceremony that lost the support of the follow-up evil god power was collapsing. All the power accumulated through the ceremony seemed like a castle built of sea sand. It easily collapsed under the impact of the waves.

Soon the blasphemous priest and the demigod, the Son of the Virgin summoned into his body, completely disintegrated under the light of divine punishment, but their disintegrated remains were neither the ashes of the cultists nor formed by the other two blasphemous priests. Coke, but some crystalline substances.

As Leo stopped arousing the power in the mark of punishment, the light of divine punishment quickly disappeared, and the valley regained its calm.

Although the ray of divine punishment was so powerful that it directly burned to death a false demigod, two blasphemy priests, and thousands of cultists, it did little damage to other creatures and plants in the valley, and only a few were invaded by the power of evil gods. The infected plants and creatures died in the light, and most of the other forests and animals were intact.

Undoubtedly, in terms of power alone, the God's Punishment Light in the Mark of Punishment is definitely the strongest power that Leo can display. Even the Thunder Gun can't compare with it for the time being. He can feel that at that moment just now, He seems to have merged into the punishment laws of this world. As long as he can maintain that ray of divine punishment for a long time, even real gods will completely disintegrate under the radiance of the light.

But what is regrettable is that just the ray of divine punishment that lasted no more than ten seconds, all the power contained in the punishment mark from the Lord of the Birth and Extinction in his body has been exhausted. If it weren't for Lei Ou transformed part of the power of other divine power marks and abyss marks through the power of nightmare in time to supplement it. Maybe the punishment mark has completely disappeared from his body now.

However, even so, the current imprint of punishment appears dim, and the breath is extremely weak, as if it will completely dissipate at any time.

And the weakening of the mark of punishment, coupled with the stimulation of the power of the evil god that has not completely dissipated around, directly caused the mark of the evil god of the Son of the Virgin in Leo's body to be ready to move as if it had lost its natural enemy.

It's a pity that before the mark of the evil god could be destroyed in Leo's body, it was completely suppressed by the breath of the stone throne. If the mark of punishment only had a confinement effect on the mark of the evil god, then the breath of the throne of stone would completely destroy the mark of the evil god. I was overwhelmed, just like the other marks of divine power in Leo's body, this mark of evil god has been completely controlled by Leo, and the secret of power contained in it is also opened to Leo little by little.

It's just that Leo didn't immediately rush to study the power contained in the imprint of the evil god, not because the timing and the environment were wrong, but because he could feel that it would be dangerous to rashly study the imprint of the evil god of the Son of the Virgin. The mark of the evil god had existed before it was completely controlled, but now it was only stronger. He had some doubts that if he studied the mark of the evil god in depth, he might eventually face the mysterious Supreme Virgin.

Leo, who suppressed his curiosity, put aside the study of the evil god's mark for the time being, and thought about further research after he was fully prepared, such as when the power of the disciplinary mark as a natural enemy recovered.

He walked out of the forest, came to a piece of wreckage in the middle of the valley, and directly came to the profane priest who finally disintegrated in the light, and picked up more than a dozen gem-like crystal wrecks on the ground.

When he touched the crystal wreckage, Leo could be sure that these should be some divine fragments, just like the divine fragments absorbed by Sylvia, except that these divine fragments are different in terms of crystal purity and world origin. The extent is far from being comparable to that divinity fragment, and because of this, there are still some remnants of the demigod's breath left in these divinity fragments.

Although the imprint of the evil god in Leo's body also had a sense of devouring these crystals, the feeling of engulfment was not strong. Obviously, these crystals were not very useful for the imprint of the evil god, but this did not mean that these divine crystals were not precious , because of the divine aura left in it, both cultists and the Church of True God will salivate over these divine imprints. It is no exaggeration to say that if each divine crystal is used well, it can create a crystal in a short time. A senior clergyman of bishop or priest level.

Leo took out a box engraved with the roots of Turing and special runes. This box has an isolation effect and can preserve these divine crystals well, so that they will not be discovered by others through special methods.

After putting the crystals into the box, Leo looked at the remains of the other two blasphemous priests. Although there were also some evil spirits remaining in the two piles of coke-like wreckage, they were useless to Leo. Since he stayed here, he might contaminate a monster at some point, so when he left, Leo completely dispersed the power in the two piles of wreckage.
