Chapter 1905 - 593: Is It "Eternal Life" or "Resurrection"?
Chapter 1905: Chapter 593: Is It "Eternal Life" or "Resurrection"?
"Hey, enough, stop going crazy over the mecha here."
Only then did Noxico, who was still in the opposite building, retract the "water gun" aimed at the group of believers and remove the potion from the rear, hanging it back on his waist.
When facing enemies, one can never be too cautious, even if the enemy appears to be dead, as there are always possibilities for them to suddenly come back to life or cause harm.
The resurrection of the Undead, the feigned death and resurrection of certain special races, the auto-pilot and self-destruction of the mecha, and even the sheer tenacity and inexplicable "willpower" and "bonds"...
These things all exist and are part of the experiences accumulated by the "Gray Gang."
After the enemy dies, a final blow is necessary, and until safety is thoroughly confirmed, they must be treated as if they could resurrect at any moment, always ready to send them back on their way after resurrection.
Flipping out of the window, he leaped among the believers with the physical prowess of a "vampire."
"Since it’s confirmed that there’s still some intelligence left, it should still hold value. Quickly clean up, take all the remnants back; it might be converted into considerable merit.
Perhaps, the Lord of Red Moon will bestow more strength upon you.
By the way, can you discern which faction this mecha belongs to?"
Noxico walked up to the mecha wreckage, looked it up and down, and, seeing the exposed lines and pipes on it, gave up on identifying it.
He was just a "vampire," not some craftsman, nor had he specifically learned advanced mechanical knowledge.
"Also, even as wreckage, this mecha has considerable value and might even be reparable. When converted, I might advance to Tier Three ahead of schedule with the Lord’s blessing.
As for the mecha...
No way, boss, you don’t know how heavy-handed you were.
This mecha is smashed into pieces, practically worn down beyond recognition of the civilization’s style it belonged to.
If not for the Church-provided device, it would be tough to gather all the fragments."
Saying this, the believer took the spherical metal device Noxico retrieved from the Space Ring and pressed a button on the iron ball, which unfolded like a blooming flower.
This time, once ordinary people, they clearly perceived a wave of Magic Power emanate from the "metal flower," causing all the mecha fragments, along with all metallic objects, to float and gather under an invisible force.
"That’s it, afterwards we can go back and sort through them carefully.
Truly, I don’t know where the bishops got this device from, capable of attracting all metal creations..."
"For this mecha to have such advanced technology, it’s likely from the Saien side.
Only the Saien side could circulate such advanced mecha into the hands of a Transcendent criminal."
Noxico spread his hands, attributing the advanced creation to Saien Civilization without a second thought is never wrong.
The sale of military goods from Saien Civilization has become commonplace; you can even buy "brand new" advanced weapons if you have the money.
"True, haha, boss, maybe this is the spy mentioned in the earlier high-level task?"
"What kind of dumb spy is there? Just entered the planet and got found by us; if it were in our ’Gray Gang,’ it would be considered an unremarkable spy."
"Right, what kind of dumb spy."
"Hahaha."
"Alright, once cleaned up, let’s head back. The cleaning squad has already been notified."
Noxico waved his hand, a metallic sheen flashed from the ring as he collected all the wreckage.
With a group of believers, he quickly disappeared into the nearby district, returning to the President Building.
"Lord Bishop, by the grace of the Lord, the mission has been completed!"
"Mm, very good. It seems you have grown into a qualified believer under the Lord’s banner.
The mission yield this time isn’t bad, but it’s unfortunate about the damaged mecha, though calculating it, your promotion is almost sufficient, have you mastered the strength of Tier Three yet?"
A hint of pride flickered across Noxico’s face as he was praised.
"Thanks to the Lord’s favor, I am almost there.
Unfortunately, there was no chance to use Transcendent power this time; otherwise, I might have fully mastered it."
"Alright, I happen to have another task here, the target isn’t as strong, but there are quite a few of them, just right as practice for you."
Ellie tapped on a section of the virtual screen, redirecting it in front of Noxico.
"I understand!"
Seeing off Noxico, Ellie stood silently for a long time before also leaving the office, heading straight downstairs into a prohibited room, stepping into the underground area.
"The Lord can actually achieve such things...
Even though that one was identified as an Empire person, as an Empire spy, due to changes in faith, he was mercilessly killed, and so brutally.
And how does the Church manage to identify those hidden spies? Even when I know the answer, I can’t find anything wrong...
No wonder the Church isn’t worried about those seemingly spy-like individuals, instead promoting their advancement as much as possible.
If they keep advancing like this, they might become devout believers before causing any harm...
Though I suppose I’m more or less the same..."
Ellie smiled indifferently; she had been mentally prepared for this since becoming a "Gardener."
The Church couldn’t possibly manage its believers so loosely; that power-granting condition seemed like granting power without expecting anything in return.
There must be some method to control everyone, preventing them from betraying.
