Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　But her heart told her that this girl, who looked remarkably like her, might really be a turning point in her life.

　"Facing fate together? What are your plans?"

　Yae Sakura's voice carried a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

　She wanted to know Sakura's plans, and even more so, she wanted to know if she could find the key to liberation from this girl.

Chapter 807 Seeking Help, Offering Sacrifices, and Tragedy

　The next day, early in the morning.

　Awakening from her slumber, the white-haired runaway nun carefully donned her nun's habit and began searching every corner of the shrine for traces of Yae Sakura.

　This is also something that can't be helped.

　after all……

　"I'm so hungry... Sakura, is the food ready yet?"

　Karen flung open the shoji door and immediately spotted the extra-large handmade rice ball on the table, along with a neatly folded letter next to it.

　The white-haired nun walked quickly to the table, but instead of immediately starting to eat, she reached for the letter.

　"There are rice balls on the table. Don't forget to wash your hands before you eat. I have to go now. —Sakura"

　After reading the short letter left by Yae Sakura, Kallen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh.

　"This guy... is so busy every day."

　It was at this moment that a sudden rumbling sound from her stomach reminded her what she should do.

　Pick up the plate containing the rice balls

　Karen walked to the edge of the high platform, sat down gracefully, and began to savor the breakfast that Yae Sakura had carefully prepared for her.

　As she chewed, she recalled the unusual monster she had encountered the day before.

　The monster from yesterday looked somewhat similar to the Honkai Beasts created by the organization using Honkai energy. Could it be that this country also possesses Honkai energy?

　As she pondered, her eyes suddenly lit up.

　But seriously! The pickled vegetables in this rice ball are really delicious!

　Thinking back to her country's famous dish—Skypie—Karen genuinely felt horrified just imagining it!

　Just then, a little girl of about seven or eight years old ran into the shrine in a panic.

　Upon seeing Karen, she rushed over as if she had seen a savior.

　"Big sister! Big sister!"

　The little girl grabbed Karen's thigh, which was covered by white stockings, and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

　"Please! Save my sister!"

　Upon hearing the girl's cries for help, Karen was puzzled but quickly asked her what was wrong.

　"Huh? What's wrong?"

　"My sister has been arrested! She's going to be offered as a sacrifice to the gods! Everyone says you're incredibly powerful! Please save her!"

　After understanding the whole story, Karen felt a surge of anger.

　As a descendant of the Kaslana family, the responsibility to protect humanity and serve as a shield for the people was deeply ingrained in her heart.

　However, the battle-hardened Karen quickly calmed down and knew what she should do.

　She reached out and gently stroked the girl's head, soothing her tenderly.

　"Don't be afraid! I will definitely protect you!"

　After calming the little girl down, Karen ran as fast as she could towards Yae Village at the foot of the mountain.

　However, not long after she left Yae Shrine, a familiar figure suddenly blocked her way.

　cherry?

　Upon recognizing the person blocking her path, Karen involuntarily stopped in her tracks.

　Drawing her spirit sword, Yae Sakura stared at the white-haired nun before her with a slightly vacant gaze.

　"You can't go any further, this is the end... Karen."

　"Why are you here!?"

　Ignoring Yae Sakura's words, Kallen continued to question her.

　"Why are you stopping me! Don't you know they're using children as sacrifices!"

　Kallen's words touched upon deep-seated memories, and Yae Sakura's eyes widened slightly.

　"I know."

　Upon hearing Yae Sakura's reply, Kallen roared in fury.

　"This guy who demands the lives of children to worship! Even if he's a god, he's an evil god!"

　An evil god...?

　The image of Yae Rin's frail back surfaced in her mind, and Yae Sakura's expression became somewhat dazed.

　Even so... they still took Rin away... I can't change anything...

　Thinking of this, Yae Sakura felt a wave of powerlessness.

　At this moment, she could no longer grip the spirit knife in her hand.

　"Bang!"

　With a crisp sound as the spirit blade struck the stone bricks on the ground, she clutched her head and screamed in despair.

　"No...we can't change anything! The gods are inviolable!"

　Seeing Yae Sakura so vulnerable, Kallen felt an indescribable pain welling up in her heart.

　She quickly stepped forward, hugged the distraught pink-haired girl tightly, and spoke in a firm and earnest tone.

　"Then... let me change it!"

　After saying that, Kallen resolutely released Yae Sakura and walked towards Yae Village without looking back.

　It was at this moment that Yae Sakura's voice rang out behind her.

　"It's no use."

　She slowly turned her head and looked at Karen's back with a strange and complicated gaze.

　“Some things can’t be changed, Karen…”

　When Karen arrived at the sacrificial site, a girl who looked to be only five or six years old was lying quietly on the altar.

　She seemed somewhat unable to comprehend her current situation, and continued to chat happily with her parents in the audience in her childish voice.

　"That child..."

　Karen's gaze was fixed on the girl wearing the exquisite fox mask and the seemingly warm yet eerie interaction between her and her family, and a sense of astonishment welled up in her heart.

　She never imagined she would witness such a heartbreaking scene.

　In her mind, even if the girl herself was not yet aware of her current situation, her family should be filled with grief and reluctance.

　However, reality was quite different from her imagination.

　"It is such a proud thing that my child can be a gift to the gods!"

　The girl's mother clasped her hands together, her eyes shining with piety, and muttered incantations.

　"Great God! I offer this to you."

　Our faith, please help us drive away the demons and protect our village so that we may have good weather and abundant harvests!

　Although Karen had witnessed many barbaric and cruel human sacrifice rituals during her years serving the Church of Destiny, even the most extreme and insane scenes had never brought her such a profound spiritual shock.

　A mother, who pushed her own flesh and blood into the abyss of death, showed no sadness or pain, but instead was filled with an almost twisted pride and glory.

　After realizing what was happening, a strong will arose in Karen's heart.

　She had to stop this barbaric ritual!

　As is well known, the Kaslana family has always been exceptionally efficient.

　Having made up her mind, Karen immediately took action.

　Without hesitation, she pushed through the crowd, squeezed forward, and shouted loudly.

　"Stop! Put that child down! You can't keep making this mistake!"

　As the ace of the Church of Destiny, how could an ordinary person possibly be a match for Kallen?

　In no time at all, she squeezed to the front of the crowd.

　However, even though she had taken such timely action, it was still too late.

　Right in front of Karen, a huge and ferocious beast claw descended from the sky, instantly crushing the girl lying on the altar and the altar together to dust.

Chapter 808 Divine Sacrifice

　"God..."

　Seeing her daughter being crushed to pieces along with the altar by the beast's claws, the girl's mother showed no sadness whatsoever; instead, she displayed an uncontrollable joy.

　"grown ups."

　Ignoring the flying pebbles, the devout believer showed no sign of backing down.

　She was so steadfast, so persistent, as if nothing in this world could shake her beliefs.

　Even when a sharp pebble cut her cheek, leaving a shocking scar, it couldn't make her change her posture of devout prayer.

　But even with her piety, the god this mother believed in did not spare her.

　The huge, ferocious fox head lowered...

　The next moment, the devout believer vanished from the mouth of the deity she had always worshipped.

　Karen's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the blood splattered everywhere.

　This was not only because of the tragic scene she witnessed, but also because she recognized the true identity of the fox-shaped monster.

　"hateful!"

　The white-haired nun angrily drew her pistol, named "Fairy Bow."

　"Why are there Honkai Beasts here...?"

　However, just as she was about to fire, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out, and a chain shot out like lightning, binding her tightly.

　"Uh!"

　Letting out a painful groan, Karen turned her head to look at the chains that tightly bound her.

　"This is?!"

　With her discerning eye, it wasn't hard to see that these were chains formed entirely from Honkai energy.

　Just then, a chilling laugh rang out beside the giant fox-shaped Honkai Beast.

　"Hehehe."

　Following the sound, Karen saw a mysterious person wearing a fox mask and completely shrouded in a black robe.

　"Oh dear~ it's not good to point a gun at the gods~"

　As he spoke, the mysterious man reached out and gently stroked the soft fur of the fox-shaped Honkai Beast.

　To Kallen's astonishment, the fox-shaped Honkai Beast being stroked not only did not resist at all, but also obediently lowered its head, making it easier for the mysterious person to touch its head.

　Having come from the Church of Destiny, she had encountered ambitious individuals who attempted to create Honkai Beasts for personal gain.

　In fact, the Church of Destiny itself has done such things before.

　This is also one of the reasons why she seized the box and defected to the Far Eastern Islands, a region rarely touched by the power of the Church of Destiny.

　Even the Church of Destiny doesn't have the technology to make Honkai Beasts so obedient.

　Who is he?

　This question kept swirling in Karen's mind.
