under hope

There was an endless buzzing sound in his ears. The pioneer opened his eyes irritably and found that he was lying on an altar.

He sat up and looked around. He seemed to be in a small church, surrounded by weird statues.

It had a long and slender head and four pairs of legs. The first two pairs held a scepter... It was a creature he had never seen before.

Ella was standing in front of the statues, carefully looking at every part of the statues.

"Where are we?"

The pioneer rubbed his dizzy head and jumped down from the altar.

"The plane of the moon god is, in lay terms, the dream realm. Ella replied, still staring at the statue.

"Are we dreaming?"

The pioneer pinched himself in disbelief, but he still felt the pain.

"Well... Strictly speaking, it's in someone's dream, and the moon god is hiding here."

Ella explained to the pioneers casually, while reaching out her hand to touch the weird statue.

"I don’t quite understand. Did you find anything?"

Seeing that Ella has always been in love with that statue, the pioneer couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, this is Cyclops’"

Ella pointed at the statue with her finger and finally turned to look at him.

"Also known as the 'Servants of the Moon', there are records in ancient books that they are plural gods, loyal to the God of the Moon."

Ella added immediately.

"Plural... In other words, there will be many such monsters in this dream?"

The pioneer was horrified. Blake's additional changes had caused him great psychological trauma. He was worried that he would go crazy in front of these monsters.

"You don't have to be afraid, I said, this is in a dream."

Ella stood up from the wheelchair, her missing ankle already restored.

"Is your foot okay? But why do I feel like I haven’t changed at all?"

The pioneer tried to jump and take off, which was his dream all along.

"Stop it, haha. In the dream owner’s perception, I haven’t had my feet bitten off yet."

"As for you, the extra eyes should have given you the qualification to enter, and I am cursed because of it."

Ella was amused by the pioneer's antics, but she patiently explained to him

"That's it...then let's go out and find that god of the moon."

The pioneer walked towards the exit of the house, feeling very disappointed.

Ella tested the function of the wheelchair and found that her newly added combat mode was missing.

"In other words, the owner of the dream has seen me, but not the modified wheelchair."

"Could it be... no, no, it must be the fault of the god."

Ella did not dare to decisively admit her conjecture, so she attributed all the strange phenomena to the damn moon god.

Since she no longer needed her wheelchair, Ella left it in the chapel and followed the pioneers on foot.

"Whose dream would be like this..."

The pioneer who walked out first was stunned on the spot, followed closely by Ella who also had the same reaction after going out.

——The ruins of the dilapidated city formed an uneven ground, and the struggling and shouting corpses turned into sculptures. A blood-red moon hung in the gray sky, casting an ominous red light over the entire land.

——Looking into the distance, there are rugged mountains, and at the foot of the mountains are red lakes; looking closer, the mountains are piles of corpses.

——Not far away, a tall tower reaching the sky stood in the twisted world, as if silently telling them that this was the end of their trip.

In fact, the only road here only leads to the tower

"Stop looking and let’s go."

Ella patted the pioneer's face, took his rough hand and walked towards the tower.

"Eh? oh oh."

The pioneers who suddenly came back to their senses quickly adjusted their pace and quickly followed Ella.

The journey was not boring. Every time they took a step closer to the tower, the creature called"Secrapus" would There was one on the pile of corpses next to the landing.

Just like a road to an audience, those strange creatures lined up on both sides of the road leading to the tower.

They spread their arms towards the blood moon and made a dull murmuring sound in their mouths.

Getting closer and closer to the tower, the pioneer's right hand has already tightened his weapon to prepare for sudden attacks at any time.

"Ahhhhh——！"

The sudden shout startled the pioneer, and he immediately drew his weapon and entered a fighting position.

Ella took a look and found that those were other crazy pioneers. There were red crystals scattered around them, and they kept beating the six-legged corpses in front of them with various weapons in their hands.

"Are you OK."

Ella patted the pioneer's back and held his trembling hand as if to comfort him.

"Stop looking, let's move on."

Ella covered the pioneer's eyes and helped him move slowly toward the tower.

Finally, when he arrived at the foot of the tower, the pioneer also recovered a little.

At the foot of the tower, a large cross was inserted into the ground. , a man was nailed to it.

After careful inspection, Ella couldn’t help shouting:

"Father!"

Hearing Ella's cry, the man slowly raised his head. His limbs were all set with long nails on the cross.

"I left the diary to keep you out of danger, Ella, you shouldn't be here."

Arthur said to Ella in a hoarse voice.

"Stay away from danger? Then I can only recall your appearance in the photo!"

Ella had tears in her eyes and shouted at the man angrily.

"No, my daughter, He is here, we can't defeat Him, we don't have extra eyes’"

Arthur shook his head desperately

"Believe your daughter's vision. He saw the mysterious man in black robes and got extra eyes."

Ella wiped away her tears and pulled the pioneer in front of Arthur.

"Are you the president of the Holy Church?"

The tone of the pioneer was very harsh. He had heard and seen too many negative comments about this man.

Arthur glanced at the pioneer and said to Ella with a solemn expression:

"Even so, I want you to get out of here, and I will beg Him to let Him go."

Ella stared at the blood moon in the sky and firmly rejected her father's proposal:

"No! Since we are here, we must have the confidence to defeat Him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-red moon suddenly became extremely huge, and the cross began to shatter.

Arthur fell heavily to the ground, but there was no damage to his body.

"Please stop torturing me!"

Arthur got up from the ground, and pulled out a long sword from the broken cross with an expressionless face, but he let out a cry that was inconsistent with his behavior.

"Please stay somewhere safe, Ella."

The pioneer protected Ella behind him, gripped his weapon and was ready for battle.

"My father is already under control, so don’t worry about my feelings and just fight with all your strength."

Ella glanced at her father one last time, then decisively turned around and hid behind a boulder.

"Please forgive me, Ella."

With a guilty tone, Arthur raised his sword and stabbed the pioneer in front of him.

"I can send you out of the dream. This is the only compromise He gives me."

Clenched a fist with his left hand and swung it vigorously at the pioneer who was dodging the stabbing attack, while his right hand simultaneously controlled the long sword to pursue him.

"As long as...as long as you let me pierce your chest, you can leave here, and then...live safely."

The punch was dodged by the pioneer, and the stabbing was deflected by the pioneer's weapon. Instead, his body was slashed.

"All crimes must be borne by me. I am the initiator of everything. Do not admit that I am your father. Arthur murmured, swinging his sword faster and faster. The continuous attacks made the pioneers passive.

Ella kept covering her ears behind the boulder, closing her eyes with a painful expression, and turned the man away. If so, keep them all isolated

"It's all my fault. If I could have been better at scientific research, your mother would not have died."

Arthur blames himself, but he doesn't know that the Pioneer has found a pattern under his crazy attack.

Without paying attention, the Pioneer tripped Arthur with his legs, and then quickly jumped back to distance himself.

"I had too many desires, and I harmed the entire Theocracy. I...well..."

Arthur raised his sword and attacked the pioneer again, but he didn't expect that the other party took out a rivet gun and shot him through the arm.

In order to relieve the huge impact, Arthur knelt on the ground, and at this time the pioneers also came to his side

"Uh...ah..."

The pioneer stabbed Arthur's chest with his left hand wearing an arm blade, and forcefully took out his internal organs.

Arthur, who had lost his heart, did not fall immediately, but raised his arms high and faced That blood-red moon

"Stop torturing me! God, please grant me eternal death."

Arthur shouted heartbreakingly to the blood moon.

"Hee hee hee..."

Xue Yue issuedLaughing, under Arthur's desperate eyes, his body stood up again

"Everything...should have ended……"

Arthur aimed the long sword at his abdomen and stabbed it in hard. The blood quickly solidified on the blade. When he pulled it out from his body, the long sword had turned into a sword and gun.

Arthur has stopped talking, and now he has completely become a puppet of the gods.

Seeing Arthur limping towards him with his eyes blank, the pioneer couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Don't worry about my feelings……"

Ella's words came to mind.

She relied on herself. The moon god cursed her family, and she would not let down Ella's expectations.

The pioneer regained his confidence and his fear was long forgotten. He turned on the transformation button and attacked Arthur, who was unable to move.

The weapon strengthened by the coagulated blood has an astonishing range. Although it moves slowly, its attack movements are clean and neat.

Each swing of Arthur will leave a blood explosion delayed for one second on the trajectory, and the thrust will chase the delayed blood stab.

The sword and whip did not give Arthur an advantage. Instead, he was in danger of being caught by the sword and gun.

The pioneer switched to the close-range sword form again, focusing on evasion, trying to find a flaw in Arthur's offensive.

Living up to the expectations of the pioneers, he finally found a flaw

——After performing the lunging action, Arthur will stay still to release the delayed blood stab. The blood stab is fixed in direction and you can attack at this time.

After confirming the method, the pioneers began to control the distance between them and Arthur, guiding Arthur to use a thrust attack

"coming!"

After dealing with it for dozens of minutes, the Pioneer finally saw the forward swinging action of the thrust attack.

The Pioneer quickly approached Arthur. He sideways dodged the thrust attack and stabbed the tip of the knife into Arthur's heart.

"Oops."

Before he could stab him, Arthur suddenly gave up releasing the blood thorn and turned around to perform a sweeping attack from below.

The weapon was already within the attack range of the sword and gun. In an emergency, the pioneer dropped the serrated knife and quickly pulled out the rivet gun.

"Bang...bang..."

After pressing the trigger twice in succession, one sharp iron nail hit the sword and gun, and one shot pierced Arthur's heart.

The pioneer fell to the ground to avoid the sweep, and the rivet gun also He was thrown away.

But the iron nail had pierced Arthur's second heart, and at what moment did his consciousness return?

"Ah... This still can't cleanse me of my sins. It's time to end. The nights and dreams are too long..."

Arthur stretched out his hand towards the boulder that Ella was hiding from, and finally fell to the ground.

Blood Moon murmured, no When the pioneers took a breath, the moon god composed of countless swollen pieces of flesh appeared.

"careful!"

Ella ran towards him worriedly, but was caught by Cyclops halfway.

The moon god stretched out his twisted arm towards the pioneer and sent him into the circular sawtooth.

Just before he When he closed his eyes and prepared to accept death calmly, the Moon God suddenly screamed in pain.

He was thrown to the ground, and the black flames burned the indescribable thing in front of him mercilessly.However, the surrounding Cyclops also became restless.

The moon god fled to the moon with his body burned by black flames, and Cyclaps followed him.

The blood-red moon disappeared, and the world in front of them was sucked into them like a whirlpool.

………

After that, Arthur, who turned into a monster, turned into a bubble and disappeared, and Ella still announced her identity to the world.

After all, Ella is also a world-famous scientist. Under her call, the Holy Church was re-established.

Various cities have also reactivated their protective shields, blocking all sand beasts from the outside.

Ella became the new leader of the Holy Church. She destroyed all the vaccines and led the remaining people to rebuild their homes.

Because most of Ella's resume has nothing to do with her father, people are still willing to believe this young girl.

Although some people are still spreading rumors that she will restart the vaccine, Ella does not take it to heart.

There is someone beside her who will always believe in her, because together they witnessed the escape of the god

"Uh-huh."

Ella tugged on the pioneer's clothes, raised her head and closed her eyes.

"Eh? What to do?"

The whispers could no longer be heard in the pioneer's mind, and the red moon had disappeared forever.

Seeing that the pioneer had not taken any action, Ella opened her eyes impatiently, and tugged on the pioneer's clothes as if she was angry.

"hurry up."

Ella closed her eyes again

"Uh... Well, there is a magazine that has been updated, I think..."

The pioneer didn't know what Ella meant, but he thought that Ella could find someone better than him, and he just needed to find a job in the church.

"Except for you, no one else can make me give my whole body and soul."

Ella said with her eyes closed.

"Then... don't worry about me being too strict in the future."

The pioneer scratched his head, held Ella's face with some embarrassment, lowered his head and kissed the soft lips.

""Bang" the bells of happiness and hope rang. Wearing a suit, he carried Ella, who was wearing a white wedding dress, and walked to the balcony to receive the blessings of the people of the Theocracy.

Among the crowd, a red-haired man and a black man wearing a hood The man in clothes also looked at the couple who made the promise

"You are so elegant."

The red-haired man clapped his hands and said to the man in black.

"It doesn't matter, beautiful happiness is often the beginning of tragedy."

The man in black stretched out his hand and clapped slowly, and then left the wedding venue first.

"May you live a long life."

The red-haired man looked at the happy smile on Ella's face and showed a strange smile.
