My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

"Today, I, Lin Mo, in the name of the Human Empire, hereby publicly execute him."

It wasn't until Lin Mo uttered those words that Zhi Yun finally realized her death was imminent.

He suddenly looked up excitedly at the light screen, and through it, he shouted to everyone, "I swear to be loyal to the Church to the death..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo flicked his wrist and the black sword flashed.

It was so fast that no one could see the trajectory.

puff!

A dull cutting sound rang out.

Blood splattered, splashing onto the smooth, cold ground, blooming into dazzling red flowers.

Zhiyun's head fell to the ground with a thud.

It rolled several meters away.

The life of a master of illusion has come to an end.

His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

There was no vigilante justice, no assassination, and no cover-up.

A public execution under the watchful eyes of the entire mainland.

This scene was broadcast live, without alteration, to everyone across the continent via the light screen in the sky.

Upon witnessing this scene, the people of various human nations erupted in thunderous cheers.

Some people burst into tears, while others knelt down to pray.

"Good riddance! Finally, revenge has been served for those dead children!"

"That's not enough! This is just one participant! We must completely overthrow the church!"

"Long live His Majesty Lin Mo!"

……

Zhiyun's body lay on the ground, and blood slowly spread.

In the conference room, the remaining human minor lords completely collapsed at this moment.

Not long ago, they stood on the moral high ground, spitting as they shouted that Lin Mo had fabricated evidence, frantically defended the Holy See, called him a demon, and demanded that Lin Mo be eliminated as soon as possible.

In the crystal, they scrambled to fawn over the papacy, vying to provide human babies, elf cubs, vampire children, and goblin cubs, utterly devoid of humanity.

But now, looking at the cold corpse on the ground, their last bit of hope and arrogance vanished completely.

Pfft!Pfft!Pfft!

One after another, these lords, who were usually high and mighty, knelt down before Lin Mo.

They panicked completely and were terrified.

Cries of pain, pleas for mercy, and confessions instantly filled the entire hall.

"Your Majesty Lin Mo! Spare me! Please spare me!"

"We were wrong! We were really wrong! We were forced into this by the Vatican! It was the Holy See that threatened us with our families!"

"We didn't mean to! We're victims too! Please have mercy! Please let us go this time!"

"We are willing to submit to the Human Empire! We will be loyal for eternity! We will never betray you! Please spare our lives!"

"Your Majesty! We have elderly parents and young children to care for! We cannot die! We beg your mercy!"

……

They kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads slamming against the ground until blood flowed down their cheeks, making them look extremely disheveled.

Some wept bitterly, some trembled with fear, some desperately tried to shift all the blame onto the Vatican and the Weaving Movement, and some even vowed to repent and start anew.

For a moment, the entire conference room was filled with their humble pleas for mercy.

Lin Mo lowered his eyes and coldly swept his gaze over the group of human lords who were kneeling on the ground, wailing and behaving in a disgraceful manner.

Before Lin Mo could speak, Yin Xue, who was standing to the side, had already made a disdainful sound.

"I remember you were all so arrogant just now, slandering Lin Mo as a demon and shouting that you would suppress him. How come you're all acting so innocent now? Why didn't you hesitate at all when you were scrambling to offer up your babies?"

After Yin Xue finished speaking, the lords looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yin Xue snorted coldly again.

"Now you're terrified and know to beg for mercy? Too late!"

Lin Mo didn't say another word. His purpose in coming here was to wipe these people out in one fell swoop.

The black sword was raised, then lowered.

puff!

A bloody human head rolled off.

Aize glanced at him coldly and uttered two words: "Serves you right."

Tie Xin felt a sense of satisfaction watching this: "That's what you call retribution! Well done, Lin Mo!"

Lin Mo ignored them and raised his black sword again.

The lords were speechless.

They knew that nothing they said would make a difference.

Puff puff……

"good!"

"Good riddance!"

"Long live His Majesty Lin Mo!"

……

With each strike, people across the mainland raised their arms and cheered.

A woman in the crowd held up the eyes of her son, who was not yet 10 years old.

"Child, this is retribution. Watch closely and never forget it."

Some people also saw their relatives running home.

"Second Aunt, where are you going?"

"Do you even need to ask? We're going to the Human Empire. Go home and pack your bags."

"Yeah, I want to go too!"

"And me!"

……

After all the lords were killed, the meeting room fell into a brief silence.

Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.

"Hurry! Don't let all those lords be killed."

Everyone in the conference room frowned and looked towards the door. Why was someone still speaking to these lords at this time?

Could they be guards from Holy Land Village?

Lin Mo thought the same thing. He had clearly sent Ah Jin to deal with the guards, so in theory no one should have been able to break in.

Just as everyone was wondering.

Bang!

The door was kicked open.

A group of soldiers rushed in instantly.

They wore tattered armor and their faces were filled with anxiety.

Seeing the corpses scattered on the ground, the leader froze on the spot: "We're still too late!"

They were veterans who had fought their way up from the border fortress with Mag, and Akin was among them.

"Your Majesty Lin... Lin Mo, we just witnessed those things outside, so..."

"That's why we charged in, afraid that these damned lords would dirty your sword."

Lin Mo instantly understood that they weren't there to protect those scum lords, but to steal kills.

Ah Jin stepped forward and explained, and the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Just then, someone suddenly pointed at Saint Zefa, who hadn't reacted much.

"And him! He's the one who cut off our food supply!"

"That's right! He must have been involved too!"

"Brothers! Let's go!"

……

The veterans were shouting that they were about to charge into Saint Zefa.

Upon seeing this, Saint Zefa frowned, and with a flash of his ring, a golden scepter instantly appeared.

"Calm down, everyone!"

With a shout, Saint Zephyr unleashed a holy light from his scepter, suppressing the anger of all the veterans.

The veterans stood there looking at him.

Without hesitation, Saint Zefa blurted out, "I knew nothing about these matters; the Pope is the mastermind!"

The veterans looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that his method was effective, Saint Zefa spoke again: "Do you think I'm having a comfortable time? I'm also a puppet of the Church. I can't do anything. All the affairs of the country have to be approved by the Pope. What can I do? I'm just a puppet myself..."

Tread...  

A series of footsteps interrupted Saint Zefa's explanation. He looked up and saw Lin Mo standing in front of him.

Lin Mo looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
