I am the former civilized hero.

These idiots actually had the guts to research and use their power and wisdom to create a horrible virus for the Herrscher. If I hadn't discovered it by accident, and it had spread all over the world, not even Mobius would have been able to clean up the mess.

By the time she develops a vaccine, most humans will have died.

Roar!

The completely mutated bishop pounced at Ryan, and with a flash of electric arc, he instantly turned into charred ashes.

Ryan waved his hand and annihilated the last monster, pulled out the USB flash drive from the server, and snapped his fingers, causing an instant voltage overload and destroying it.

The data has been copied, and the roaring sound overhead is getting closer and closer. It is obvious that the Fire Moths have already cleared the underground.

Ryan glanced at the completely destroyed database and took a deep breath.

After spending so much time, this was the first time he had directly contacted the "Faith Faction" and the second time he had seen their "great achievements". His idea was quite simple.

At all costs, I will uproot you within a month!

Chapter 258: They are anxious!

Late at night, St. George's Square.

The once majestic square has been completely transformed, the artistic cafes have become ruins, and the magnificent white pigeons have disappeared.

The hundreds of years old cobblestone road was crushed to pieces by tank tracks, then charred black by flamethrowers. Some body parts and pieces of flesh were ignited, releasing raging flames, and the air was filled with a disgusting burnt smell.

The fighting was over, the disaster contained to the square, with only stray bullets destroying a few surrounding blocks.

"This really is... hell on earth."

Major Joshua made the sign of the cross on his chest and looked up at the cathedral whose roof had collapsed. He was wearing a priest's robe with a golden cross on his chest. He had a sharp face, a mustache, and a serious expression. He looked no different from an ordinary priest in the holy city.

As a believer, the abbot of a small monastery before joining the army was heartbroken to see St. George's Cathedral turned into this state, but his green eyes were filled with anger.

The Holy Church had actually caused such a scandal. If the aftermath of the battle had not lured him here ahead of time, who knows how many people would have died.

The monsters are difficult to kill and are terribly contagious. It won’t be long before the entire holy city becomes a living hell. The most important thing is that these monsters came out from under the cathedral.

He glanced outside the blockade and saw some priests and nuns watching and praying, and then their emerald green eyes froze for a moment.

Among this group of anxious people, he saw a nun with a good figure walking through the ruins, searching for survivors or comforting frightened civilians.

This is a real nun. Compared to her, everyone else is a blasphemy.

Joshua followed her with his eyes until he was interrupted by his subordinates' reports.

"Major, we found the monster's lair."

"where?"

"There is a laboratory right below St. George's Cathedral, and this is the information we found inside."

Joshua took it and took a glance at it. His whole face turned pale, and his last bit of fantasy was dispelled.

What a blasphemy!

It turned out to be a human experiment. These hard-to-kill monsters were created by the Crusaders themselves. The only good news is that according to the list, the carriers all participated voluntarily, but can this absolve them of all guilt?

"Take me to see it."

"Major, should we report this matter to our superiors?" The adjutant hesitated. This must involve the Pope, and it is not something that the Southern European branch can handle.

But Joshua's face darkened, and he almost uttered through his teeth: "I said, take me to see it!"

"As ordered!"

A group of people immediately passed through the ruins of the church. The building complex that served as the office of the Vatican was already filled with soldiers. Soon, they went underground and saw pieces of frozen meat.

Joshua's already livid face became even more serious. As a high-level fusion warrior numbered cm013, he had already seen that this thing was not an ordinary freezing ability.

As hard as steel, it did not melt even when burned by a flamethrower. This kind of ice was beyond the concept of ordinary physics.

It's freezing. Even Andevich, the Ice Crusher, can't do it. Could it be...

A terrible thought came to his mind. Not long ago, the Southern European branch detected a strong Honkai energy reaction. When they ran to support, the battle was over. The follow-up investigation was fully under the charge of the Intelligence Department, and no one knew who was responsible for the battle.

Joshua was secretly investigating the matter and always felt that it was full of conspiracy. Now that he saw these ice sculptures with his own eyes, he suddenly understood something.

"Major, this is the surveillance data we recovered. Please take a close look." The adjutant came over with a laptop computer in his arms, hiding it from his colleagues.

After just one look, the priest's eyes froze. The screen was filled with icy mist, from which an elegant gentleman walked out and entered a laboratory. Then the glass jar containing the monster shattered, and finally the thick icy mist froze the monitor.

The Herrscher of Ice, the data showed that no method was used to wake up these monsters, and then the Herrscher activated them instantly?

Joshua took a deep breath, clenched his fists tremblingly, and disappointment and anger flashed alternately in his eyes.

The Holy Church is actually those damned religious sects!!

......

squeak-

The wooden door was pushed open, and Ryan walked into the room with high spirits. When he looked up, he saw Qianjie sitting on the sofa with a big horse and a golden sword. The resentment in his heart was frightening.

"Uh, what's wrong with you?"

“Get lost! How dare you ask!” Qianjie stood up immediately, spitting all over Ryan’s face. “First you threw a stupid pig at me, and then I couldn’t participate in the lively battle outside. Tell me, did you do this on purpose?!”

He was so angry that he wanted to punch Ryan into the wall, but he saw that the man had an innocent look in his eyes.

"This is a coincidence. I didn't know about these bad things when I went out. It was just bad luck that I ran into them." Ryan was really innocent. His original plan was to accompany Abonya out to relax and be back before dinner, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Brother Jie, you are very stubborn. You suppressed your desire to fight and endured for the whole day. Do you dare to say that you have no intention of protecting Padua?

"You think I will believe it?"

"Yes, otherwise you can see my pure eyes and think there is nothing wrong."

"roll!"

Qianjie didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he turned around and left, slamming the door shut, shaking off the wall dust.

Ryan spread his hands, confirming that what he thought was correct. If he really had no feelings, who in the world could restrain this heroic hero? Even if he saw through it, he couldn't say it out loud, and he had to control the timing well.

He turned his head and saw Padua Felice with a resentful look on her face. She was curled up in the corner of the sofa with a pout.

"Teacher, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"Don't even think about it. You know that Qianjie looks fierce but won't hurt you, but you are still so afraid. You should exercise well." Ryan was very disappointed with his friend. He could see it as soon as he entered the room.

Why let Paduo stay in the living room? Isn't it because we are afraid that she will run around, and if there is any danger, we can take her away at the first time.

Paduo is very intelligent. They have been together for such a long time, so of course she knows that although Qianjie sounds mean, he is a good person deep down.

"But Brother Jie is really fierce. He almost made me faint with his scolding. Besides, I'm not a stupid pig. At the very least, I'm a stupid cat..."

"Okay, Qianjie never says anything to people he doesn't care about. He just shoots them in the head. He's not a bad person." Ryan couldn't help but smile. He could already imagine how sad Pado was today.

As for that scene, well, let’s refer to a driving school instructor in Zaun.

"I know, I just have a little bit of resentment. By the way, Brother Jie even specially left dinner for you. It's on the table."

Ryan turned his head and saw food on the dining table. Just as he was about to make a joke, the bedroom door was opened a crack.

A violent and terrifying look was immediately cast out, causing both of them to shut their mouths at the same time, leaving only the ticking sound of the clock in the living room.

"Uh, where did Aponia go?" Ryan laughed dryly. The second rule of getting along with Qianjie is that words like gentle and considerate are all derogatory.

"Sister Nia ran out to help. I heard that she was going to save someone." Padu yawned, hugged her knees, and threw potato chips into her mouth.

"That seems to be her style. By the way, why don't you go?"

"Because I'm too lazy to move. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. I'm on the wanted list. It will be troublesome if I'm recognized."

That's more or less.

Ryan loosened his hand that was pinching Paddo's cheek, accepting the explanation and no longer worrying about Abonya's safety.

Unless she encountered a high-level fusion warrior, or was about to kill him instantly, she only needed to speak and the enemy would lose their will to kill her.

But this guy Paduo is a bit spoiled.

He glanced at the lazy girl and changed his mind. It seemed that Paduo didn't need to do anything. She just needed to stay at home and provide luck bonus.

Today was full of luck. Looking back, it was just a matter of luck. How come I happened to go out and stumble upon a conspiracy?

"You two metaphysical duo are really useful."

"What are you talking about, teacher?"

"Nothing, I'm going to the balcony to make a phone call and go to bed early."

"If you don't eat dinner, Brother Jie might get mad."

Ryan was stunned, and suddenly realized that Qianjie's kindness was not so easy to accept, so he patted Paduo's head.

"Then go and warm it up for your master. Don't refuse, or I will let Qianjie teach you tomorrow."

Padu shrank her head. She didn't want to go through today's hell again. She quickly put on her slippers and went to the kitchen to heat up some food.

This girl is a top mascot.

Ryan twitched the corners of his mouth, and his expression gradually became serious as he heard the sound of the stove being ignited. According to his assumptions, today's coincidence was of extraordinary significance.

Even if the Southern European branch wants to suppress it, it won't be that easy because all the information is in my hands.

He took out the USB drive and threw it up and down, his eyes gradually sharpening. The power of the Seventh Herrscher touched the interests of most councillors, and this coincidence gave Ryan a trump card.

As long as this message is sent out, at least one religious leader can be defeated. Given the status of the Pope of the Christian Church, he will not look like a small fry in any way.

Therefore, you don't have many choices left. Either you are slowly killed by me, or you fight back. However, the Herrscher is uncontrollable, and your only means of counterattack is the Fire Moth.

I'd like to see how deeply you have infiltrated the Fire Moths.

Jingle Bell--

The phone rang, Ryan took a look, and after answering it was Mebius' voice. The background noise was messy and the sound of the engine could be vaguely heard.

"Hey, if I don't call you, you're going to pretend to be dead, right?" Mebius seemed a little irritable, causing Ryan to glance at Pado.

Thanks to her, I now have a good excuse.

"You know what I'm doing, the surprise has been delivered, how is the response?"

Mebius on the transport plane glanced to the side and gave an unfathomable smile.

"It's okay, they are anxious."
