Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 511: Taking Action, First Round of Main Quest Completed!
Iris lowered her body and pressed her hands to the ground, where scorching flames slowly ignited around her.

She knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. The Discipline Knights were fanatical believers who had abandoned all emotions and were only dedicated to upholding church laws and acting in accordance with commands.

But she just had to curse, even if it meant she was dead, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable.

The world is already so tragic and hopeless. If she can't even utter a few curses, what's the point of her living?
Why have we persisted until now?
As the Discipline Knight drew ever closer, Iris took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Currently, I have less than a third of the resources I can mobilize left, which can only last for half an hour at most.

The only way out is dawn, when the residents of Ogan City 'wake up,' and at that time, in order to prevent collapse, these iron lumps must also be removed.

The Ogum is the lifeblood of the Church of the Word of God, and the 'holy place' that embodies all the hopes of the Word of God.

They certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch Ogan collapse, but the problem is... they can't hold out until then!

do not care!
Iris gritted her teeth, staring intently at the approaching Discipline Knight, watching his arm slowly retract.

The flail in his hand slowly gathered light.

Even if it means death, I'll roast this tin can thoroughly. Even if the other side is immortal, I'll still vent my anger!

The flames grew increasingly intense, even turning into a more dazzling gold.

"Oh!"

A tremendous crash resounded in front of Iris, and to her astonishment, a huge hole suddenly exploded in the chest of the Discipline Knight.

Broken bone fragments and bits of flesh, mixed with blood and organ remnants, flew everywhere.

Iris: ?

The Discipline Knight swayed twice before collapsing heavily to the ground. However, the splattered pieces of flesh and blood on the bluestone pavement seemed to have a life of their own, wriggling and rolling towards the Discipline Knight.

On a distant rooftop, a man with charcoal in black poses as if firing a gun, the bell hanging around his neck shimmering faintly, obscuring the massive gun barrel.

The Susanoo behind him pulled the bolt in perfect sync, ejecting the spent cartridge and turning its body to the side again, waiting for the barrel to cool down.

"Good job!"

Awoo's claws seemed to be pulling at something, and with a forceful downward swing, a water sphere about ten meters in diameter fell from the sky and slammed into the location of the Discipline Knight, enveloping him completely and spinning him at high speed.

Li Xia stood atop the tall building, the cold night wind whipping his clothes, when Xiao Tian suddenly darted out beside him.

One after another, jet-black flowers bloomed at Xiaotian's feet, and with just a few leaps, it rushed to Iris's side, who was still in a daze and didn't know what had happened.

Before she could react, her mouth suddenly opened.

Suddenly, a giant, illusory dog's mouth appeared behind Iris, swallowing her whole before turning and running away.

As soon as Xiaotian darted back into the prefabricated house, the wooden door was immediately closed.

"slip!"

With a roar, the entire prefabricated house shot out at an incredible speed, trailing smoke as it flew.

This smoke was invented by some genius apostle. In addition to using high-heat smoke to block thermal imaging, it also mixed in extremely fine metal particles, magic crystal powder, and other random things.

It truly achieves a two-way anti-detection function combining technology and magic, effectively preventing 80% of detection methods.

The prefabricated house flew at high speed toward a position at a sixty-degree angle to the tavern, while frantically spewing out smoke.

"Outer shell detached!"

With a loud thud, the wooden door suddenly popped open, and a smaller version of the prefabricated house emerged.

It is also coated with a flexible display coating to achieve optical invisibility.

The original, larger shell spiraled upwards, continuing to fly in the opposite direction, trailing smoke. Li Xia watched from the side, unaware of how many ingenious ideas the three little ones had come up with in just one short day.

It seems they have prepared many contingency plans for their retreat.

Once the small prefabricated house had sneaked back to the tavern under Aowu's manipulation, Black Charcoal immediately rushed forward, dismantled the wooden door, and put it back on the original door.

Aowu then used its claws to quickly dismantle the wooden plank into pieces, storing them in its spatial storage to completely destroy the evidence.

Only then did the two little ones clapp their paws in satisfaction and look at Xiaotian, who had been squatting silently to the side with a strange expression since the beginning.

"Third brother, what's with that expression? Where did you go?"

Xiaotian remained silent, simply squatting there with a strange expression.

Aowu panicked: "Didn't you say it could be kept in your mouth temporarily and nothing would happen? You didn't eat it, did you?"

"woo"

As soon as Xiaotian opened his mouth, a burst of sparks mixed with a thick heat wave surged out.

"Wang!"

A figure suddenly burst out of the illusory vortex, and as soon as she landed, scorching flames spread out from her body.

"The scorching sun—"

Iris's eyes seemed to be filled with a faint firelight, and she stretched her arms forward with her hands clasped together, making a gesture like a pistol.

A violent heat gathered in front of her fingers, but before she could fully concentrate her power, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

?

Iris stared in astonishment at the hand that had grabbed her and the dark-haired young man who had reached out his hand.

He stared in disbelief at his hand, which remained unharmed despite the terrifying heat. No, even though his ultimate move hadn't been fully formed, the heat condensed on his body had already reached a very high temperature.

This high temperature also serves as a form of self-protection for the practitioner when concentrating their power.

but now.
"Stop, we are not enemies."

Li Xia felt the warm touch in her hand; it was a little hot but also quite comfortable.

The existence of the Divine Enemy Armor has kept him from feeling the 'hot' sensation for a very long time; even a red-hot iron block only feels warm and gentle.

Iris looked at his face, then at the tavern and the three animals watching her curiously.

She hesitated for a moment, and after confirming again and again that she did not feel any hostility, madness, distortion, pollution, or despair, she finally withdrew the heat.

Li Xia then let go of her hand and pulled over a chair.

"Can we talk now? If you feel unsafe, you can suggest a place or method that you think is safe."

Iris looked around, then rushed to the window and peered out cautiously for a while, muttering something under her breath and leaving runes on the wall.

She breathed a sigh of relief after the runes disappeared into the wall and walked up to Li Xia.

She took off her hood, revealing her bright and beautiful face.

"I am Iris of the Burning Heart Cult. Who are you?"
