The Duke on the high tower also breathed a sigh of relief. The girl looked like the mastermind that the others wanted to protect. He was not sure that he could save the others from the attack of the two level 4s, but now it seemed that they could fast forward to the negotiation stage.

But... the name Ciel... sounds familiar...

Was it the friend of my daughter's? I seemed to have run into her at the cemetery gate before... When did she become the "Source of Cholera"? Or was she just a disguise when I met her before?

Among all these people, the calmest one was Tara, who was leaning against the broken wall.

She looked at the head facing her, at the gears and dials spinning in the pupils, lowered her head slightly, and half-knelt.

She didn't seem worried at all that Ciel was going to die.

In other words, she simply didn't believe that God could die.

As Tara watched, the blood-covered head slightly moved the corners of its mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Lord Ciel..."

Looking at Charles' smile, Tara narrowed her eyes slightly, with an expression that looked like enjoyment on her face.

The Mother Goddess... is smiling at me...

"It's over, Eleanor..."

The Duke was about to say something to persuade the other party to stop helping the poisoner, but at this moment, a silver light flashed.

The silver dial in the pupils of Ciel's head quickly reversed. Her scattered flesh, blood, body tissue, and even fragments of clothing all turned into silver streams of light in an instant and flew towards the air above the iron barrel formation at an extremely fast speed.

Everyone only saw a flash of silver light, and then the girl's figure lightly landed from mid-air in the center of the iron barrel formation, between the four musicians.

"good evening."

laugh--

Charles suddenly thrust his hands deep inside, and his arms, stained with mycelium, stabbed upwards from the bottom, directly through the backs of the two musicians, piercing their bodies and grasping their hearts.

A large amount of mycelium poured into the bodies of the two musicians, and when the Knight Commander reacted and turned around quickly, the chests of the two musicians had been filled with a huge amount of mycelium.

Kaka-

The bones inside had been crushed by the mycelium that had accelerated metabolism and multiplied crazily. Their originally thin bodies were now swollen like a ball of meat, and their eyes were wide open with bulging eyeballs as they looked at the Knight Commander in front of them, their eyes filled with pain and despair.

Snapped--!

There was a crisp sound of flesh and blood exploding, their tight skin and muscles were torn apart, and their bodies exploded like inflated balloons, with the blood-colored mycelium inside splashing everywhere.

The corpse explosion produced a large amount of blood-colored mycelium that shot out and splashed, carrying skin fragments and flesh and blood, and splashed on the bodies of all the "Crown Guards".

Charles seemed to sense something and quickly turned around to look at another musician who was about to open his mouth to chant something. He turned around and swung his arm violently, and a ball of flesh and blood covered with blood and fungi hit his mouth and went directly into his open mouth.

"Uh!"

The musician knelt on the ground in agony. He stretched out his hands frantically, trying to dig out the bloody flesh from his throat, but he didn't notice that his eyeballs were already covered with scarlet mycelium... He was already terminally ill.

The last musician was completely confused by the huge reversal that had happened in such a short period of time. He took several steps back and fell to the ground. When he looked up and met the eyes of the red-haired girl, his tense spirit finally collapsed.

"Ah!!! Ah!!!"

He turned around and tried to escape by rolling and crawling, but bumped into a suit of armor and fell to the ground again, splashing a pool of water.

He looked up and saw that the "Crown Guards" who were supposed to surround him and protect him from attacks from all sides had their armor covered with blood-colored mycelium. The entire armor was trembling, as if resisting some invasion.

"Quick! Melt the armor! Those monsters can't resist..."

The Knight Commander, who reacted the fastest, immediately shouted, wanting the others to melt their iron armor as soon as possible to prevent the invasion of blood bacteria.

But within a range of 15 meters, everything she did could not escape Charles's foresight.

Ciel turned around and looked directly into the eyes of the Knight Commander.

Over limit.

nemesis.

The gears in Ciel's eyes glowed and began to vibrate and spin. A huge silver shattered dial seemed to appear behind her, visible only to the Knight Commander.

The knight commander who was looking at Charles had already stiffened all over and stood there, unable to utter a word.

A huge fear echoed in her heart. These fears, coupled with the violent whispers in her head, caused her body to be quickly eroded by the backlash of the potion.

Charles took two slow steps towards her, then slowly raised his right hand in front of the Knight Commander.

The mycelium in Charles's hand squirmed on her right arm and condensed at her fingertips, like a blooming flower. The blood-colored mycelium continued to spread outward along Charles' fingertips until it touched the breastplate of the female knight.

The hyphae penetrated into the breastplate.

Fortunately, in the previous sacrifice simulation, Charles had let the Darkworms indiscriminately kill most of the extraordinary people in the city.

Now they, especially the Crown Guard, are completely unable to resist the gaze of the Super Nemesis.

Only after the scarlet mycelium had completely penetrated the Knight Commander's body did Charles withdraw his hand and casually swung it back. A ball of mycelium had already stuck to the eyes of the last musician who was still howling, and then followed his terrified eyes and penetrated into his body.

Done...

Charles raised his hand and waved it slowly. The stiff armor in front of him raised its legs and made way for Charles.

She raised her head and looked at the Level 4 transcendent on the top of the tower, with a faint smile on her face.

"Long time no see... Your Excellency the Duke."

……

"Long time no see... Your Excellency the Duke."

Charles looked at the girl below. The moment his eyes met hers, an uncontrollable fear welled up in his heart...

How is this possible... What is she? Who is she?

Can a level 3 transcendent really achieve this?

The reorganization of flesh and blood, as if traveling back in time, and the oppressive gaze that was no less than that of a creature from another world...

Unless, she is not a level 3, nor a transcendent...

Charles swallowed hard, remembering the two level 4 guards of the girl. One of them was someone he had never seen in the Church of the Savior Goddess... Instead, he looked very much like someone who had defected from the Church of the Savior Goddess before.

Defected... in other words, a member of the Holy Advent Sect.

The person who could be protected by both the Holy Advent Sect and the Savior Goddess Sect... who exactly could this person be? Charles didn't even dare to think about it carefully.

"What... is your purpose? What are you trying to do?!"

Charles gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He stared into Charles' eyes and said, "Why is it Ansu..."

Charles could make an estimate of how many people would die in Ansu if there was a bacterial outbreak of this level.

But why Anzu...

Even if the other party chooses to perform a reappearance ceremony, as long as they are normal and mentally healthy extraordinary people, they will not choose the city of Ansu to hold the reappearance ceremony.

Even the one in the Joy Club who was performing the re-enactment ritual had received the tacit approval of Qiang Yin.

A normal person who wanted to perform such a terrifying reappearance ritual would definitely go to the Southern Continent or the New World. There are still many indigenous people in the New World for these lunatics to perform the reappearance ritual, and it would not provoke retaliation from any person or official organization...

Those are places without anyone's jurisdiction. Not to mention the death of hundreds of thousands of people, even if millions of people died, apart from a few organizations that would try to help the indigenous people resist in order to complete the re-enactment ritual, no one or organization would interfere.

But why choose Ansu?

This is what Duke Charles wondered.

"why?"

Ciel tilted her head slightly, looking like she was thinking seriously for a moment before she spoke: "This place... is closer, and there are more people."

Closer...and more crowded?

Charles took a deep breath. At this moment, he could only feel the utter absurdity.

Ansu, the place where Qiang Yin had taken root for hundreds of years and established countless foundations, had actually fallen into such a state of near destruction because of such a ridiculous reason...

Even if Ansu City resolves the crisis this time, the colonies controlled by Ansu and the territories originally annexed may still erupt in wars of independence, especially in the oppressed North Ansu...

"What do you want? Just to repeat the ritual?"

Charles knew that Ansu's downfall and decline was a matter of time, and he had a vague feeling in his heart that Qiang Yin might really not be able to defeat the cunning girl in front of him.

"You want to negotiate? Now?"

Charles was a little confused. She thought Charles would become even angrier and start a fight with Eleanor and Percy.

"Many members of my family serve in the Queen's Sword. I can have them retreat directly and return to the family."

Charles slowly said, "But the condition is that your virus cannot spread towards the Russell family's territory and Vitalis Palace. I need to ensure the Queen's safety."

charles...

Seeking sum?

What scared him?

Overlimit killer? Or scarlet germ?

"The Church of the God of Order and the Church of the Goddess of Savior have both pulled back their defenses."

Charles said slowly, "I don't have to work hard for the strong tone."

The Russell family itself survives in the gap between the Church of the God of Order and the royal family. Since the Church of the God of Order has made it clear that it will secretly help the poisoner, Charles will never fight with Charles for Qiang Yin.

And his purpose seemed to be just to save the queen's life.

Did he no longer want to be stuck in the middle? Did he want to replace Qiang Yin? To become the "regent" behind An Su?

Charles could only say that this man was indeed someone who could lead his entire family to survive between two major forces. He was steady and courageous at the same time.

If Charles really agreed to Charles' conditions, he would retain his strength just like the Church of the God of Order, and Qiang Yin's power would definitely be greatly weakened by this incident.

At that time, who has the final say in Anzu may not be something that Qiang Yin can influence. It may be either the girl in front of him or the Church of the God of Order.

Charles's retained strength gave him the confidence to sit down and negotiate.

If he had blindly helped Qiang Yin and used his own power to fight against Charles, in the end, his family would have suffered heavy casualties, and he himself might not have survived.

The Church of the God of Order, which has preserved its strength, will directly devour his family... By then, Ansu may become a country controlled purely by religion.

What he wanted to protect was never the strong voice, but the Queen, the main body of this country.

Charles was also confident that the other party would accept his proposal.

Unless they are someone with a blood feud with the Ansu royal family or a lunatic, no one would want to have another level 4 enemy that would affect the reappearance ceremony.

Charles looked up at Charles on the top of the tower and said slowly: "That's a very good suggestion..."

"But, I refuse."

"The Church of the God of Order is retreating, and the Church of the Goddess of Savior is also retreating..."

"If one or two of you all hide in your shell..."

"Where can I make up for the missing death toll?"

Almost all the people in the Russell family are "detectives". The purpose of Charles's trip is to earn life points. Not to mention them, even if they are people from the Church of the Goddess of Savior and the Church of the God of Order, Charles would also like to find an opportunity to kill them.

Therefore, Charles would never agree to Charles' proposal.

Charles said slowly, "Percy, go ahead and leave me a breath."

If I can’t beat you, can’t I still finish you off?

Charles has no feelings for Charles at all. Although he is Avina's relative, he does not treat Avina like a family member at all. Instead, he helps the people of the God of Order to kidnap Nia.

Charles naturally wouldn't be polite to him.

Percy obeyed the order and without hesitation, she turned into a white shadow and rushed straight to the tower. At the same time, a white sky curtain unfolded in the shadow of the tower.

Eleanor was not idle either. She raised her hand and a black curtain directly covered the other side that was not covered by the white curtain. The black and white shadow curtain enveloped Duke Charles.

A battle between level 4s unfolded inside.

Charles turned around.

The original team of knights and musicians had now been completely infected and assimilated by the blood-colored mycelium, turning into hideous high-level monsters. At Charles's beckoning, those monsters in tattered armor came to Charles' side.

Where's Tara?

Charles looked for Tara's trace, but found that Tara was leaning against the wall of the Archbishop's Palace, staring blankly in Charles' direction. She seemed to have completely lost her mind and didn't even care that she was sitting on the puddle.

Ciel frowned slightly.

When we were overkill just now...was Tara looking into my eyes too?
