And the harsh words just now seemed to be covering up this panic.

For the first time, Qiang Yin felt a sense of powerlessness, with no place to use his strength.

The Pope still lowered his head and looked at Qiang Yin. Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the voice was heard again from the armor that symbolized the Pope.

"Compared to the research of that distinguished lord..."

"Previous research seems to be just small-scale research."

"You will never be able to see what I saw in that gentleman's dream..."

"Isn't what I said... clear enough?"

"Strong sound."

Without the honorific "Your Excellency", the Pope of the God of Order seemed to be lowering his head and looking at Qiang Yin with pity.

"If you have time, why not think of a way to solve the current problem..."

"Henry, show him out."

Henry, who had been waiting at the door, stepped forward, walked to Qiang Yin's side, and said, "Please follow me, Your Excellency Qiang Yin."

Qiang Yin's chest was filled with rage, and as his chest heaved, he looked up at the Pope and spoke through gritted teeth:

"Don't regret it... This is a war you started."

Qiang Yin snorted coldly and turned away.

"Don't regret angering that adult."

The Pope said behind Qiang Yin without showing any mercy.

Chapter 240: Don’t steal my head.

West District, top of the spire of the Archbishop's Palace.

This is a miniature clock tower with a huge bell hanging here. At this moment, there are several figures standing around the bell.

This is a "viewing platform" that is no less important than the landmark clock tower. From here, you can see all the movements in half of the West District.

Charles looked at the hellish scene filled with smoke underground without a single ripple in her heart. It seemed that she had become accustomed to such scenes... She even felt like she was watching a movie that had nothing to do with her.

There seemed to be traces of blood and tears on her face, and her pupils had turned dark black. There seemed to be a dense array of holes in them, as if something would come out of them at any time.

A bottle of potion flew nimbly between her slender fingers - the crystal particles inside remained suspended in the bottle, not hitting the surrounding crystal bottles due to Ciel's movements, nor colliding with each other.

Hard dark green bones seemed to be constantly spreading outward from the inside of those dark purple crystals. After the bones completely wrapped the crystals, they would be purified into dark purple crystals again, and this cycle would repeat over and over again.

This is the "Source of Cholera" potion, and it is also the last bottle of potion.

Tara stood beside Ciel, looking down at the commotion below, her heart trembling slightly.

Even though Tara had read so many ancient documents, experienced and even designed many sacrificial ceremonies, she had never seen such a horrifying scene as the one below.

The panicked middle class fled in all directions, crying and screaming as their former loved ones opened their terrifying bloody mouths and bit them.

The soldiers firing in formation were breached while changing teams and reloading, and the monsters tore into their former comrades. But in just a few seconds, their former comrades transformed into equally terrifying monsters and began a killing spree...

These monsters are a huge psychological shock to anyone... Tara once imagined that the most powerful "source of cholera" might be able to create a highly toxic substance that could kill thousands of people in an instant, but those were far less visually impactful than the scarlet germs in front of her.

Ciel was the first person she had ever seen who could consciously create germs into this form...

Not only Tara was shocked by the scene below, but Percy and Eleanor at level 4 were also nervous.

They also couldn't guarantee whether they could perfectly resist the invasion of this pathogen after unconsciously ingesting it... After all, they had witnessed the entire process of level 3 infection with their own eyes.

But compared to being infected, from their perspective as strong people, they saw something else that was even more terrifying.

That is... those who are infected with the scarlet bacteria will consciously attack the extraordinary people in a limited way, and those infected extraordinary people will also open their bodies and accept more scarlet bacteria into their bodies - it looks like devouring evolution.

This is simply the mass production of crazy extraordinary people.

Boom——

Following a violent explosion, flames and smoke rose from the direction of the Capitol. The huge building, which symbolized the center of Ansu's power, was now engulfed in flames.

This is simply... the end of the world.

The infection is spreading rapidly. Originally, these infections would not break out and spread so quickly, but due to the inaction of the Cult of the Goddess of Savior and the Cult of the God of Order, the germs are expanding like crazy.

If you walk into the stone roads stained with blood, you will find that there is a thin layer of red fungal carpet on them. The fungal carpet is wriggling regularly, transporting nutrients, like capillaries covering the city.

hum-

Suddenly, at this moment, a ray of light flashed in the dark night sky.

A point of light was shining above the Qiang Yin Mansion. From afar, one could seem to see an illusory object floating in the center of the light.

"It's Qiang Yin... He's going to gather his troops."

Eleanor looked at the light and spoke in a hoarse voice.

Here, apart from Charles, she is probably the only one who is most familiar with the style of strong notes.

A stacked, illusory sound began to spread outward from the point of light.

There are children's voices and harmonies of different men and women, and each voice seems to symbolize a famous figure in Anzu history.

The most obvious and easiest to identify is the strong sound.

"Warriors of Anzu!"

All the gas street lamps burst into flames again, illuminating the streets that seemed to be swallowed by darkness and flesh and blood.

"Please gaze upon your trembling palms—the lines there bear the marks of the gunfire that defeated the Invincible Armada, and the glory of the first wisp of molten steel from the dawn of industry!"

"Now these hands! They are not meant to hold bread and pocket watches!"

"Those monsters and zombies roaming the streets and riverbanks are not punishment from the gods!"

"It is a coward huddled in darkness, attempting to tarnish the immortal iron ambition of the Great Ansu Empire with a curse of flesh and blood!"

"Those filthy, evil monsters have no souls within them. They are nothing but the dregs of a pathetic poison maker! They are the products of failure that even Hell wouldn't accept!"

A passionate piece of music began to spread outward through the light.

"Any warrior who kills more than ten infected monsters before dawn—"

"You will receive the highest medal of bravery from the Vitalis Palace, and your children will inherit your glory forever!"

"Anzu will never fall—"

"Because tonight we are fighting for survival!"

"Now! Take up your weapons! Show your loyalty to the greatest empire ever!"

"At dawn, we'll see all the monsters burned to death on the South Shore docks!"

At the end of the speech, the orchestra's music reached its most passionate part, and a sense of tragedy and epicness inexplicably surged from Charles' heart, but after a chill flashed through her mind, the influence disappeared.

“Very passionate.”

Ciel commented with a slight nod.

As expected of a veteran, he did a great job of mobilizing the troops before the battle. Not only did he bring his own loudspeaker, he also even included his entrance music...

Sensationalism alone cannot stop the spread of infection.

Charles had already seen that the infected people had begun to rush towards the east district.

The moment the virus spread to the densely populated East District, Qiang Yin was doomed to lose. Even if he killed all the infected, all that was left for him was a ghost town.

pat-

Ciel stopped playing with the potion in his hand and murmured, "Almost..."

Percy and Eleanor both saw what Charles was doing. Eleanor, who was more impatient, subconsciously said, "Sir Charles... you've already drunk two bottles of potion. If you drink a third bottle..."

Eleanor didn't continue speaking... Normally speaking, the mind of someone who drank two bottles would have been completely corroded by the potion's mumbling. Even if they managed to retain their sanity, their body would have an irreversible, horrific potion fusion reaction.

"Do not be afraid."

Charles shook his head, interrupting Eleanor.

It’s not like Charles hasn’t drunk three bottles in a row before.

The more you fear the potion's whispers and backlash, the more opportunities you give them.

"Don't succumb to the potion."

clatter--

Charles pushed open the cork with one hand and looked at the crystal particles that were stacked together and flowing towards the bottom of the bottle.

"To make it yield to you..."

Ciel tilted his head back and poured the potion directly into his mouth.

When the crystal touched the mucous membrane of Ciel's mouth, it penetrated directly into her body and merged into her body. With every pumping of her heart, the blood would carry countless crystal fragments to all parts of her body.

The sharp pain like a needle shot through her body again. Her eyes seemed to be evaporated and gradually showed signs of shrinking.

The potions were running rampant in her body, as if eager to break through the body's grip. They rushed to the weakest part of her eyes, attempting to corrode her body from there.

But when those horrible corrosions rushed into the eyeballs, they were blocked by two rays of light, one gold and one silver. They surged and screamed in Charles' mind, and were stacked and locked in the eyeballs.

At this moment, Charles' pupils were like being covered with black honeycombs. Those crystals in her pupils turned into dark purple ice crystals, and then continued to corrode into dark green bones, repeating over and over again, as if they were breathing.

when--

The crystal bottle slipped from Charles' hand, fell to the ground and rolled a few times, then fell all the way down the spiral staircase. Finally, there was a crisp "pop" sound from below, and it shattered directly.

Charles closed his eyes slightly, feeling the whispers in his mind, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She opened her eyes and looked down at the chaos and fire below again.

This time... digesting the Level 3 Plaguebringer is even easier than digesting the Level 2 Plaguebringer before.

Because this time, Ciel completed the reappearance ritual quite well... and this ongoing ritual is still helping her digest the remaining potions and whispers.

"What a pity... These germs only have an affinity for me. After forming a colony and invading my body, they seem to have gained some ability to think, but they can't enforce commands... However, with the help of the 'Queen Bee', there's room for further development of these germs..."

Ciel subconsciously began to think about how to optimize the bacteria, but soon she suppressed the urge to continue her research.

Now, there is business to be done.

Because she had already seen that a troop was gathering not far away, and most of the eyes over there were directed in her direction.

Did you finally notice?

The Church of the God of Order and the Church of the Goddess of Savior can both block Qiang Yin's echo detection, but he seems to have quickly locked his target here... Because standing on a high place, even without using echo detection, they can see Charles's position.

However, this was something Charles did on purpose.

She wants to delay time and allow the infected to infect as many people as possible.

And I have to infect or kill more extraordinary people in the remaining time.

As long as you kill enough, even if you die or don't survive for 24 hours, the points you get will definitely far exceed the points you gain from any simulation.

Because this time, she killed these people in the true sense with her own hands.

…Though it would be wise to give Adele some assists.

"Sir Charles, they have divided a group of troops and are heading towards us."

Eleanor saw the troops heading towards this side in the distance and spoke up to remind them.

Qiang Yin must be very anxious now, eager to find the "poisoner". He himself seems to be leading an elite force and going directly to the Church of the Savior Goddess to hold the person accountable.

As for the Holy See of the God of Order, no troops went there. It seemed that Qiang Yin had already visited there in advance and might have learned something.

"Do you need me to hold them off, Lord Ciel?"

"Need not."

Percy's voice sounded from the side, but was directly rejected by Charles.

Stealing people's heads?

Charles wouldn't agree to this.

"Just let me not die."
