Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 203 Heavenly Punishment
In the big library.

Jincheng stumbled forward.

The bronze incense burner in his hand fell to the ground with a cracking sound.

Before his eyes, scarlet mist was pouring out of the mouth of the mechanical "angel" relief that he had designed himself. Those wings, which were exquisitely carved and full of the cold, sharp beauty unique to machines, were now shaking like blood-stained crow wings.

He could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion.

He didn't know where he was or what he was supposed to do.

He only remembered that he was a believer under the Most Holy Trinity and a saint who held the highest authority in the world.

But is this saint really a saint?

Jincheng's mind is in a mess.

He could no longer remember when he truly became a saint.

Perhaps, it was from the moment he ordered the complete closure of the third floor of the Great Library and took the initiative to forget the "forbidden" knowledge in his mind?

It seemed that from that time on, he had been getting further and further away from "machines" and closer and closer to "God".

But why do I still feel the fear deep in my bones?
"Holy Trinity, grant me salvation."

Jincheng fumbled for the extremely familiar emblem in his hand, trying to gain strength from it, but the greasy touch on his fingertips made him feel an immense fear out of nowhere.

He subconsciously threw the emblem away as if he had touched a poisonous snake. The sound when the emblem landed was not loud, but it hit his eardrums like an explosion.

The scene in front of him was becoming increasingly blurred, with illusions and reality intertwined, making it impossible for Jincheng to distinguish.

He seemed to see the believers still kneeling in the cathedral square, but the prayers they chanted suddenly turned into sharp wails.

On the ceiling, the colored glaze began to drip mucus. In the mural depicting the kingdom of God created by the God of All Machines, sticky oil gushed out of the mouths of mechanical angels, and then burned with blazing flames.

In the flames that were like the fire of hell, the book that he had thrown into the fire with his own hands once again emerged.

The ashes bloomed and floated, falling on his holy robe embroidered with scriptures with tattered smoke, as if to bury it.

"May gunpowder and steam cleanse all heresy."

A majestic but chaotic sound was heard.

Jincheng vaguely saw a light appearing in the distance.

He saw the mecha sculpture outside the temple, but a silver centipede crawled out of the sculpture's eye sockets.

"Why. Why is my heart still beating at the foot of the statue?"

Jincheng muttered to himself. He wanted to tear off the breathing mask that was stuck to his face, but found that his face was already festering and the mask was stuck to his skin.

He felt severe pain all over his body. The ring on his ring finger, which represented power, suddenly shrank. In his illusion, the crisp sound of broken finger bones and the hissing sound of poison gas exploding in his lungs mixed together.

Continuing forward, he saw the high priest whom he had just executed when he took the throne of sainthood, standing at the door of the secret room.

Cables flashing with electricity were entangled between the other's rotten fingers, like a whip that was about to bring down punishment.

"You have failed the Most Holy Trinity, you have abandoned the Great Electricity!"

The high priest asked harshly, wielding the cable and hitting him hard.

"Holy Scripture. Chapter 7."

Jin Cheng stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. He raised his head and closed his eyes, trying to recite the "Expel Heresy" scripture and seek the protection of the God of All Things.

But the next second, his voice stopped abruptly.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The huge impact force locked him firmly to the ground.

The taste of rust is spreading in my mouth.

In the last moments of his life, Jincheng saw a huge black shadow passing through the sky.

That might be
A true angel from the Kingdom of God.
All the civilians who had not yet left saw the scene of the divine punishment.

Huge dark gray wings flashed across the sky, making a loud noise like thunder.

All the nearby glass was shattered, and the shock wave even made the city's signboards rustle. At an unmatched speed, the angel inspected the human kingdom of the God of All Things from a high position, and then, with a shocking angle, he rose straight up from the ground.

Its figure gradually disappeared into the clouds, but just when everyone thought that the angel was about to leave, an even more shocking explosion was heard in the sky.

The angel swooped down as if he were about to fall, heading straight for the ground.

The believers who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads in astonishment. Everyone thought that they were about to witness the fall of an angel.

But, just as it was about to touch the ground, the angel suddenly pulled it up.

And from under its body, a "spear" dragging flames pierced into the ground.

"boom!"

A violent collision was heard, and smoke and dust rose up.

The angel flew around the Mechanical Temple again, and just when Zhang Tao, who had attacked the temple, raised his right hand, as if to greet him, the angel suddenly reduced its flying speed by pulling up.

Then, it slowly left.

When its figure disappeared from everyone's sight, the battle on the ground was over.

All those who resisted stubbornly were wiped out, while those soldiers of the Guards Brigade who were less poisoned had their weapons removed and were controlled on one side of the cathedral.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the flowing blood, Zhang Tao's hands trembled slightly.

Until this moment, he has not recovered from the huge shock.

has it ended?

The "saint" who ruled the Mechanicus for decades, has met his end like this?

Zhang Tao looked at the corpse in front of him in a daze, but came to his senses in an instant.

He carefully but quickly adjusted the posture of the corpse, then raised his hands and shouted:

"The sinner has redeemed himself!"

“Let go of the boundaries!”

“Let all believers come up and witness with their own eyes the divine punishment suffered by the truly unrighteous!”

"Yes! Your lord!"

At the command, the soldiers of the 15th Guards Brigade immediately dispersed and stood solemnly in their places, leaving a wide passage.

Then, the believers who were still in doubt began to move tentatively towards the church.

They saw corpses and traces of artillery fire, and all of this terrified them.

However, the miracle of "the angel's coming" gave them great courage, supporting them to continue moving forward and continue to walk towards the "place of divine punishment" guided by the soldiers of the Guards Brigade.

Then, a moment later, the most devout believers saw the "unrighteous" who died as a result of God's punishment.

The iron spear from the angel pierced the sinner's body from top to bottom.

The sinner raised his hands and knelt down to pray for forgiveness from the angels in the sky.

But he was clearly not forgiven.

Because he is already dead.

The frenzy spread instantly.

The next second, someone shouted:
"The unrighteous are false saints!"

"He is a sinner!"

"He is ashamed of the Most Holy Trinity, ashamed of the God of All Things, and ashamed of the city of Jinling!"

"Now."

"The false saint is dead!"

"A new saint should be established!"
