Big Capitalist

Bishop North swept his gaze over everyone, his eyes filled with bewitching eagerness. "Everyone should believe in me, just like in the past. I will lead all of you to awaken the power of your bloodline and step into a higher level. Everything I do is for you, for our entire group with the bloodline of the God of War! This is a great and glorious evolution. Only in this way can we escape the fate of being hunted. We ourselves are chosen by God, and we can become the true masters of this continent!"

Bishop North then fixed his gaze on Daisy, a complex emotion revealed in his eyes, a hint of guilt, yet still hopeful. "Daisy, I have always considered you my daughter, my future successor. The War God bloodline in you and Gibbon is the most active, and most likely to awaken. It is because of you that I have resolutely chosen this path. As long as we succeed, we can usher in a whole new era. Don't you understand? This is our only way out, a glorious evolution!"

Daisy listened to Bishop North's words with mixed feelings. Years of trust and reliance on North were now tangled in her heart.

Her eyes were full of shock and confusion, her lips trembled slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but didn't know where to start.

On the one hand, she found it hard to accept that North, whom she had always respected as a father, had betrayed everyone; on the other hand, North's words seemed to have some kind of magic, which made her feel a little shaken.

When the others heard what North said, they all showed complicated expressions.

Some people still had anger in their eyes, but were vaguely attracted by the "bright future" described by North; some people were full of doubt and were half-believing and half-doubting what North said; and some people had only deep disappointment and heartache in their eyes.

Merlin didn't buy it and cursed directly without any hesitation: "You're bullshit (Tiger King face)!"

He pointed at Bishop North with glaring eyes and spoke sharply, "You want everyone to become a half-human, half-ghost monster like you? Look at yourself now, so ugly, so disgusting! And you said it was for Daisy? When we first met, I saw your shocked expression clearly! I finally understand, you must have been thinking about how Daisy and Gibbon could possibly come back. You also know that their bloodline concentration is the highest, so you simply wanted to sell them to the Ancient God Cult as guinea pigs, right? It's only because of my appearance that your plan was disrupted, right? You bastard!"

North's face became extremely ferocious due to anger and unwillingness. He stared at Merlin fiercely, and hatred in his heart surged like a tide.

He really hated Merlin. It was all because of this guy who suddenly appeared and ruined his seemingly stable plan.

Over the years, he had lived in comfort in the Temple of War for too long, and gradually thought that everything would continue in this peaceful manner.

The wriggling cloak-like thing on North's body and the strange objects on the guys who attacked Merlin were actually human skin given to him by the Ancient God Cult.

This human skin was specially refined to limit the blood power of the violent god of war, and has the function of "forbidding magic".

With this human skin, he can disguise himself perfectly, and no one will notice anything abnormal on his body. It can block the detection of magic.

However, this thing could not block the divine power, and it was because of this that Merlin noticed his abnormality.

After listening to Merlin's explanation, Daisy still didn't want to believe North's betrayal in her heart, but her reason told her that what Merlin said was true.

"I knew it was those Ancient God Cult bastards who were against me. They're really haunting me!" Merlin couldn't help but complain. "Can't the Ancient God Cult members from other places follow the rules like the Ancient God Cult members in the Arcane City, work in the factory, and work twenty hours a day for me?"

In the minds of the Ancient Gods, they still thought that Merlin was simply a trouble that could not be gotten rid of.

Even though they were hiding, Merlin still kept chasing and hunting them.

The fleeing Ancient God Cult members couldn't help but curse when they looked back: "MD, Merlin is still chasing me!"

The lizard man stood in the front of the crowd, staring at North's increasingly hideous face and his body that was constantly expanding and contracting.

He knew in his heart that it was the blood of the God of War running wild, but this running power was forcibly suppressed by the strange black thing.

"This guy's condition is not right. He's been contaminated." The voice of the Moon Goddess Selene echoed in Merlin's mind. "North's eyes are covered with black worm-like 'threads'. This is a clear sign of being contaminated by the spiritual power of the Ancient God."

"Who did it? The Lord of Plague?" Merlin asked hurriedly in his heart.

"Not really!" Moon Goddess Selene responded. "The Lord of Plague is an extremely cunning, despicable, and scheming individual. He wouldn't use his wisdom for such a matter. He only uses his wisdom to plot the entire world! The contamination suffered by the one before you is a physical corruption, the power of the Lord of Flesh and Blood."

At this time, in an "open" carriage, the Plague Lord, who was called by the Moon Goddess as someone who only used his wisdom to plot the world, was taking over Sigmar's body and enthusiastically playing Arena of Valor with several students from the Arcane Academy who were also returning home for the summer vacation.

When the Plague Lord won his seventh game, his fellow students couldn't help but shout, "Cunning, despicable, and scheming! He actually stole the shepherd and then replaced him with a thief. This trick is too dirty!"

The Lord of Plague laughed heartily and shouted triumphantly, "You are all noobs! My wisdom is something you will never be able to surpass in your lifetime!"

"Damn, this kid is so good, let's play another round!"

"The Lord of Flesh and Blood and the God of War are sworn enemies. It's normal for them to do this kind of thing in order to target the God of War." Moon Goddess Selene continued to explain to Merlin.

Hearing about the Lord of Flesh and Blood, Merlin couldn't help but think of his dwarf uncle Otto who had been very kind to him.

At that time, Otto was so sincere to him, but in the end he was killed by the Moon Goddess herself. That memory made Merlin feel mixed emotions.

Merlin turned to look at Daisy, Gibberne and the others, and asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

The lizard man's face was filled with pain and reluctance, his eyes filled with sorrow, but his expression was resolute. He slowly said, "Although this is cruel and I really can't bear it, I don't want my friend to degenerate into such a monster. There is no other way, I can only send him off with tears in my eyes."

Merlin couldn't help but give a thumbs-up and sighed, "As expected of a good friend, but didn't you ever think of rescuing him?"

Tears welled up in the lizardman's eyes. He shook his head helplessly and said, "The divine blood in his body has been completely corrupted. It has been corroded too deeply by the evil power. There is no way to save him."

As he spoke, the lizard man raised the machete beside him with tears in his eyes and shouted, "My friend, let me give you a ride! Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I will let you go in peace."

After saying that, he rushed forward like an arrow.
