Chapter 287 Home Advantage
Dio's clones began to flee, no longer attempting to resist the Red Queen's Terminator army.

Hiding in alleys, crawling into vases, their bodies twist and deform, squeezing into all sorts of narrow gaps, even changing color, turning into walls, tables and chairs, posing in ways that humans could never do.

Unfortunately, the Red Queen has been developing in this world for far too long.

The hovering loop has long been spread all over the world, leaving no blind spots in the visual field.

After Dio activates Time Stop and plays hide-and-seek, Red Queen is still quite difficult to find.

But these clones of yours are clearly visible when they are hiding, so who can they hide from after they are well hidden?

As each T800 pretended not to notice Dio's presence, and then pulled the trigger the instant it passed by, the number of Dio's clones killed or wounded increased dramatically.

After losing dozens of new bodies in succession, Dio finally lost his temper and ordered all his clones to break through the encirclement in broad daylight.

One by one, strange figures draped in cloaks rushed out from the corner, like cockroaches whose covers had been opened and exposed to the sunlight.

At first, the people around didn't understand what was happening, but as the cockroaches passed by, they would casually pop some unknown substance into the brains of those around them.

When the person who was hit lay on the ground and began to convulse, the onlookers finally realized that they should run away.

Screams and panic erupted as the Red Queen watched the cockroaches spread at an incredible speed and, without hesitation, chose to launch an even more powerful attack.

The next moment, the sun rose several kilometers above the horizon in several towns along the African coast; the hydrogen bomb had exploded.

"Don't look, don't listen, don't recite." Lin Hao, floating in mid-air, lazily yawned.

He wasn't surprised at all by the surveillance footage provided by Red Queen. There were too many shadows to hide in in the town, so if he wanted to get rid of the cockroaches, he would naturally have to remove the cover first.

While watching, Lin Hao also cast an illusion buff on Zheng Zha, making him think that Red Queen was still searching for Dio's whereabouts in those corners, and then turned to look at Joseph, whose face was gloomy.

He patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "You wouldn't want to shirk responsibility, would you?"

Joseph's face darkened further. He turned his head and glared at this guy who, despite being a god, had no divine dignity whatsoever. He wished he could punch him in the face.

They actually tried to morally blackmail him.

Unfortunately, he really couldn't refute it.

Once you've seen how Dio's clones evaded the Terminator, no one will still harbor the illusion that the masses could be evacuated in advance.

If even one of Dio's clones manages to sneak into the items carried by the crowd, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Moreover, the other party also has the ability to spread infection.

This kind of infectious effect, which can be achieved with just a touch, is far more powerful than the vampires in novels who can spread the virus by biting someone.

He can even transmit remotely!

This is why Egypt is led by the Red Queen and its army consists entirely of robots that Dio cannot infect; otherwise, the enemy could destroy the world.

"Otherwise, Uncle and Aunt, you shouldn't go. I'll go alone." Joseph became increasingly worried as he watched Dio escape unscathed even after being bombed by nuclear weapons.

If he didn't have much of a concept before, now that he has seen Dio's actual performance, he feels that all of his teammates combined are no match for Dio.

If Lin Hao hadn't said that Dio was there to give him training, to gain the practical experience needed to defeat enemies much further into the future, he would have run away long ago and waited for Lin Hao to clear the field.

“Egypt is the city of the Truth Cult, and as a saint of the Truth Cult, I have a duty to protect Egypt,” Evelyn said coldly, refusing outright. Beside her, her Valkyrie double had already gripped her spear, ready for a desperate fight.

"What happened to Evelyn in the second playthrough? Why does she seem so different from the one I remember?" Zheng Zha tilted his head slightly and asked Lin Hao in a low voice.

"They are basically the same, except that as a religious saint, some people pray to her as well when they pray to me."

"Huh? So?" Zheng Zha was still a little confused.

"Faith is poisonous; absorbing faith will change you in the direction the believer desires."

Haven't you noticed that Evelyn's expressionless face is starting to resemble the Red Queen more and more?

"Damn." Zheng Zha had only a vague feeling before, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. Now that Lin Hao brought it up, he suddenly felt that the two of them were indeed becoming more and more alike.

After all, religious affairs have always been handled by the Red Queen. When people mention the leader of the Truth Church, the first person that comes to mind is definitely the Red Queen. The role of the Holy Maiden is more like a mascot.

No wonder Evelyn is starting to resemble the Red Queen more and more.

"Wait, how come you're alright?" Zheng Zha suddenly realized, turned to look at Lin Hao, and carefully recalled what Lin Hao looked like when he first met him, and then looked at Lin Hao now.

It seems like nothing has changed at all.

"What does it have to do with me, a tank driver, if your oil is toxic?" Lin Hao glanced at Zheng Zha, his questioning tone leaving Zheng Zha speechless for a moment.

“Evelyn doesn’t use faith. When someone prays to her, she absorbs it directly. The advantage of doing it this way is that there are no prerequisites. Once the level is high enough, she can transform herself into a divine body.”

The downside is that her personality and appearance will change in the direction desired by the believers.

But I'm different. I've always used faith as a higher form of energy than magic.

Look at me, I'm resurrecting people, condensing divinity to create divine bodies, and casting healing spells.

"When have you ever seen me eat this thing directly?"

Even the divine body used for creating humans in the previous playthrough was only an outer shell given by Lin Hao; the soul inside still had to be temporarily moved from the original human body by Xiao Honglu.

After use, the soul has to be put back in its original place. A perfectly good divine body has been played with like a condom.

While Lin Hao was complaining, Joseph looked even more worried. Neither his aunt nor his uncle wanted to run away; they were both determined to fight Dio to the death.

However, faced with the surveillance footage provided by the Red Queen, he simply couldn't bring himself to let them fight with peace of mind.

"Anyway, take this." Joseph turned and handed the others the UV flashlights he had bought earlier, even though Lin Hao had tried to scare him by saying that Dio wasn't afraid of sunlight.

However, in the shot, Dio, wearing a cloak, clearly still fears the sun.

Therefore, Joseph took Lin Hao's words as the wicked whims of the gods and chose to ignore them.

In his view, Lin Hao was just trying to scare him because he was unhappy that Lin Hao was changing history.

"Although it is noon now, considering Dio's ability to stop time, coupled with his vigilance, I estimate that he will notice and stop time the moment I lift the cloak."

But a flashlight is different; he definitely won't recognize it. We can take advantage of that to ambush him.
