Lamia, who had just finished reading, explained, "This appears to be a construct left behind by the Church of the Moon, the Silver Moon Guard. It's modeled after the real Silver Moon Guard, the goddess's guard."
But why would the Moon Goddess' construct appear here, and it seemed as if it wanted to clean out everyone who entered the underground town?
After years of loss and wear and tear from negative energy, the Silvermoon Guard still maintains a certain strength. According to Lamia's judgment, it has not increased much, and its current strength should be maintained at around 85% of its original strength.
It was not strong enough for Daisy and she easily dealt with it. However, Lamia, out of curiosity, reached out and released her own electromagnetic force, wanting to see if she, as a robot, could have an impact on this magical creation.
The result was somewhat surprising, but it was actually useful. The construct knocked down by Daisy trembled slightly, and its ability was slightly affected by the mechanical girl, but the degree of influence was not high.
In the judgment of Lamia's skill [Mechanical Soul], constructs equipped with magic are also mechanical creations and can be suppressed by her.
From a theoretical perspective, Lamia guessed that it was her own electromagnetic energy mixed with soul energy that disrupted the energy flow of the magic circle on the construct.
"Silvermoon Guard..."
She touched her chin, her eyes flashing with data: "Master, let's go to the next location. Perhaps there are more than just the Moon God's Silver Moon Guards here, there may also be other products of the God's Church here."
Lu Yan nodded and thought of a possibility: "Are you saying that the God of Death's 'first loss of contact' was caused by the gods? But why?"
Daisy also looked over, but the mechanical girl smiled playfully: "Hehe, let's keep it a secret for a while and see if there are any other creations first."
Not far away, the same situation occurred in two ruins covered with black fog. The objects inside sensed that someone had entered the town and entered the area under their jurisdiction, and they launched an attack decisively.
A giant tree man full of vitality awakened from the slumber of blocked energy, stretched out his arms, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
On the other side appeared a dazzling light like the blazing sun. The [Sun Fairy] burning with flames emerged from its protective shell and looked at the few people curiously.
She looks like a little fairy, and the positive energy and sunlight she emits clear out all the negative energy around her. She merges with the giant tree man, making the trees more vibrant.
Obviously, they played a combo.
"Outsider, get out of here!"
The eight-meter-tall tree man roared. Seeing that they were able to communicate, Lamia stepped forward and asked first: "The gods are dead. Do you, the guardians sent by the gods, know this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fairy sneered, looking a bit like a female ghost: "Humph, stupid liar, we are still connected with the Father God and the Mother God. You can't fool us. Big guy, do it!"
Lamia made a mistake in her speech, which led to the two sides failing to reach an agreement. The tree man and the fairy launched an attack without saying a word, and the ghost girl and Lu Yan stepped forward to suppress them.
"It seems that you are unable to perceive the changes in the outside world. One is from the forest goddess, and the other is from the sun god, right?"
The survivor's armor began to change to combat mode. Lu Yan took out the scorpion chain sword to cut off the spreading vines. Daisy cut the flames with a knife, and the sickle nailed the tree man's vine whip, and the soul pain made it suffer.
Seeing this, the fairy opened her mouth and spit out flames, letting the scorching flames wrap around the vines and slamming towards the two of them. At the same time, a layer of flame shield protected her and the tree man.
Lamia continued to speak, slowly sharing her speculation:
"Let me guess. This city is a major city that worships the God of Death. All of you divine messengers have come here by the will of the gods to seal off these ruins and prevent anyone from learning certain truths from the past?"
"For example—the God of Death died during the first loss of contact. Before the second loss of contact, the God of Death was merely one of the many gods exercising authority on his behalf?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tree man and the sun fairy were obviously affected, causing them to lose consciousness for a moment. Lu Yan seized the opportunity and swung out his sword energy, breaking through the fire wall created by the fairies. He grabbed the small fairy and was able to crush it at any time.
"What do you mean by first and second time?"
The tree man was obviously a good friend of the fairy. Seeing her being captured, he was a little hesitant to act, so the fight between the two sides stopped temporarily.

Chapter 196 A few clues.
The Sun Fairy didn't care about her own safety, but instead grasped the point of Lamia's emphasis: "What do you mean by the first and second loss of contact!?"
I kindly explained the history to them, but the tree man just shouted in a silly voice: "This is impossible!"
"Aren't you the followers of the gods? You'll know if you contact them yourself."
Lamia stretched out her hand to signal Lu Yan to let go of the fairies and let the two of them contact their own gods, but her expression revealed sinister and cunning.
Through telepathy, Lu Yan knew that she wanted to do an experiment. After the gods fell, there were also priests trusted by the gods who tried to communicate with the gods.
Ordinary god priests cannot cast spells, but they can, so they want to use the connection to restore the half-dead gods to normal.
Unfortunately, the half-dead god had lost his mind, and the priest failed to influence the god. Instead, he was influenced by the god, his will became crazy, and he himself became like a monster.
Lamia told all of this to the two of them. The fairy and the tree man looked at them cautiously. Finally, the tree man acted as a defender while the fairy turned around and communicated with the sun god.
They didn't believe it, but Lamia's confident look made them nervous.
The fairy closed her eyes and prayed. In just two minutes, the expression on her face became distorted and her body became deformed. Her body and soul were obviously full of positive energy, but a strong sense of death and negative energy emerged from it!
Two completely conflicting forces were manifested in the same creature. She broke away from her prayer state, screamed, and her mind disappeared.
"Daisy."
With Lu Yan's order, the ghost girl appeared beside the fairy and beheaded the mutated fairy with a sickle.
"...Outsider, what's going on?"
The tree man finally calmed down. He felt sad about the death of his companion, but he realized that something was really wrong outside.
"Tree people should have strong perception. You can first take a look at the composition of this group of people who came in."
Lu Yan took over and the tall tree man closed his eyes on the trunk, and when he opened them again he was full of fear.
All the creatures that came in were undead creatures, which was far beyond its expectations. It thought that there would be at least 5% living people, but in the end there was not a single one.
"The whole world has been dragged into a state of dying, your gods are dead, but not yet dead."
Lamia then went on to talk about history, also hoping to break down the tree man's defenses, extract information from it, and learn more secrets from the past.
Upon learning that all the gods had turned into insane beings unable to die and that the outside world had become a paradise for the undead, the tree man stood there in a daze, his head in his hands, muttering:
"No, it shouldn't be like this..."
"Now it's your turn to explain. If nothing unexpected happens to this city, it should be cleaned up by all of your churches together, right?"
Lu Yan raised his hand and asked, echoing Lamia.
Should I say it's a good thing it's a tree? The tree man returned to normal on the surface. After thinking for two or three minutes, he slowly told the situation of the city:
"Yes, but it's not the church. We are the gods' followers, and only a few people in the church know this."
"The city was not destroyed by us, but by the God of Light himself. We are the guards. As for what we are guarding, we ourselves don't know. It could be the truth, or it could be treasure."
"All I know is that the God of Death is indeed dead, and this city is the headquarters of the Church of Death. It's called the City of the Sleeping Dead."
As a guard, the tree people don’t know much, but the defenders of this city are diverse and are formed by various gods, except for the City of Death.
When they came here, the guards were also ordered by their own gods that no one must be allowed to enter and exit safely, and everyone must be killed.
"If you want to know more,"
The tree man provided useful information and pointed in two directions. "There is a library over there. The second most powerful Punisher in the Guardian team is there."
"The Church of the God of Death is located in the center of the city. The strongest [Arro Angel] is there. I'm sure we can learn about the situation from them."
The tree man realized that what they said was true, and a sense of death rose from his heart. After telling the information he knew, he closed his eyes and prayed to the forest goddess.
Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately took his two girls away. After they walked away, a shrill roar came from behind. The originally clean tree man was deformed, and the two completely opposite characteristics of vitality and lifelessness were intertwined with each other.
He himself became distorted, his race changed, from an oak tree to a locust tree, his whole face was crooked and twisted, his expression was ferocious, and it made people shudder.
The God of Light brought destruction upon the city of the God of Death. The God of Death "died" before the gods fell. The gods sent their followers to guard the ruins, which were suspected to contain important information or items...
"It seems that the gods will definitely take action against the god of death, but why?"
Lu Yan muttered to himself as he spoke to the two of them: "And does the fall of the gods and the decay of the world have anything to do with this? If no one holds the power of the god of death, then only mortals should suffer. Weren't the gods able to control the power of death and collect souls before?"
"I don't know about that. I can only offer some guesses and inferences."
Lamia finally expressed her thoughts, that the gods killed the god of death, probably to prevent the "world" from dying.
The gods of this world might have been born according to the rules of the world itself, especially the god of death and the god of life. What they control might not just be the "death of living beings," but the "death of the entire world."
The gods don't want to die, they don't want the world to die, they don't want mortals to die, and they hope to gain the authority of the god of death...
In short, for various reasons, they united together and killed the god of death, thinking that this would stop the world from dying.
At the beginning, they did succeed in stopping it. They also shared the power of the god of death and jointly guided the survival of living beings.
However, it was not completely successful, resulting in the current result.
This is just Lamia's guess. She is not a local, and there is too little information now. More books and evidence are needed to help this guess become a reality.
"Then let's go to the library as our next stop. I can sense something that attracts me is in the church in the center."
Daisy pointed to the center. Although she wanted to quickly confirm what was attracting her, for some reason, she also wanted to find out the truth about the past.
The ghost girl had a feeling that this seemed very important to her.
The three of them quickly approached the library. However, before they arrived, sounds of fighting began to be heard from all over the town, and the booby trap rings outside were detonated, dispersing a lot of negative energy at once.
It seems that the undead creatures have also successfully entered the scene.

Chapter 197 Punisher Paladin.
Before the three of them could reach the library, energy fluctuations that could only be unleashed at the gold level came crashing down from the front.
"Holy Light, destroy the enemies before me! [Punishment Meteor Shower]!"
As serious words were spoken, all the explosive energy spots in the surrounding area surged upwards, then gathered together like meteors and slammed heavily into the ground.
The energy aftermath, mixed with positive energy, light attributes, and vitality, swept across, and the abandoned buildings within a radius of 200 meters were completely crushed and forcibly pushed to the surrounding areas by the energy.
"Let's go and check out the situation."
Realizing the existence of a gold-level monster, Lu Yan became much more cautious. He let Lamia take the lead, while he and Daisy hid behind the mechanical girl to prevent possible sudden attacks.
Daisy cast a spell to blow away the dust in front of her. When she got closer to the center, Lu Yan saw the person who caused all this.
A living man wearing platinum armor stood on the ruins, surrounded by the debris of undead creatures. He was not contaminated by negative energy for the time being, and he probably had not had time to communicate with his own gods.
What was important to the three was the ruins. After the large-scale destruction caused by magical power, it still retained a certain shape and some books were not completely destroyed.
We can't let this guy continue to attack. He is too powerful and can easily cause a devastating blow to the library. If he is contaminated by a half-dead god, he will be even more difficult to kill.
Seeing that he was about to pray, Lamia, who was wearing a maid uniform, changed her clothes in mid-air and interrupted the Punisher's concentration with a two-handed lightsaber.
There are a total of ten Radiant Punishers, who are affiliated with the God of Light. The book records that they are very powerful, and each of them is a follower of the God of Light. If it is changed to a soul-like game, each of them will have a health bar.
In those broken kingdoms of God, the polluted Radiant Punishers became even more chaotic and disorderly, and their survivability was enhanced. Even if they were smashed into pulp, they could absorb energy and recover within two seconds.
There are nine people in the kingdom of God. No wonder one of them is missing. It turns out that he was sent to this area.
The charging Lamia stabbed the large shield with the lightsaber in her left hand, and stabbed his weak defense from the side with her other hand. The Punisher snorted coldly and activated the protective magic engraved on the armor. The small shield successfully blocked the attack.
Data flashed in Lamia's eyes. Turret emplaced from her shoulders and back like snake heads, accumulating energy and firing a burst of energy. The Paladin's pupils shrank slightly, his body trembled slightly, and the small energy shield blocked them all.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Lamia fully unfolded the mechanical wings behind her, increasing her agility and speed once again, and disappeared from the sight of the Paladin. He leaned forward without time to retract his strength, and the chill behind him made his hair stand on end.
Five layers of shields popped out, and the mechanical angel grabbed the two swords and collided them. The liquid alloys entangled and merged with the energy, turning into a solid three-meter giant sword that slashed down at the Punisher.
boom!
The electric current splashed around like thunder. Lu Yan and Daisy quickly retreated. He summoned the equilateral crystal spirit to protect himself. The violent energy that was no longer under Lamia's control plowed the surroundings again.
Fortunately, she remembered why she came here and controlled the energy so that it would not fall on the books protected by magic.
The five-layer shield was shattered, and the sword blade cut into the back, severing the Punisher's spine and nerves. The cluster gun swinging behind him switched to cutting mode and aimed at the Paladin's armor and fired.
Six cluster guns converged on one point, successfully penetrating the Punisher's armor and back. He had already prepared to face death, but suddenly froze in place.
"Why didn't I die?"
Doubts flashed through his mind, and his eyes were fixed on the squirming corpses. Before he could figure it out, the sharp blade that cut the spine was pulled out from behind and chopped towards his head.
His instinctive reaction and combat awareness made him want to lower his head to avoid the attack, but unfortunately he was too slow, and part of his skull and brain was cut off. He looked dazed, but he did not completely lose his memory.
In this world, the soul is the host, the brain is the connecting wire, and the body is the screen, keyboard, and mouse. If the connecting wire is damaged, the body will still lose the ability to move and die.
Unless the connection method is changed, for example, skeleton soldiers and zombies do not need brains.
Now no one will die, and the Paladin can actually do it after losing his brain, but it takes time to adapt. If he was still alive before, he would definitely not be able to recover his memory so quickly.
Her body was stiff and she couldn't move. Lamia immediately called out, "Daisy!"
The ghost girl rushed forward, the scythe ready, the tip of which drove fiercely into the Punisher's head until it penetrated his jaw and split his face open.
The pain in his soul made the Paladin tremble. He opened his mouth and tried to shout, but his mouth, chin and upper jaw were nailed down. He couldn't close his mouth at all.
With a few more slashes, the energy blades that were swept up cut into the flesh of the undead creatures, collecting all their souls.
