Chapter 886: Chapter 623: Better to Co at the Right Ti than to Co Early Chapter 886: Chapter 623: Better to Co at the Right Ti than to Co Early It must be said, this was indeed a surprise to Duanmu Huai.
The so-called God-favored Knights, according to Imperial terms, are – those Psychics who have caught The Emperor’s attention.
The saying “The Emperor cares for everyone, but there are always those who are more favored by Him” is used to describe these privileged individuals.
Of course, such attention isn’t random; it generally belongs to those possessing strong Spiritual Energy, and thus they attract the attention of deities.
However, this isn’t necessarily a good thing; if Duanmu Huai encountered a follower of an Evil God, he would definitely eliminate them imdiately to prevent future problems. Similarly, a God-favored Knight like Alia might also be targeted by other Evil Gods or Devils, making them more likely to either fall or be killed.
From this perspective, this world serves as a typical example of the success of the “Black Hole Project.”
Originally, Psychics were bound to be born into this world, and you can’t stop their existence, just like you can’t deny the existence of Evil Gods by ignoring them. When the Black Hole Project was launched, it considered the Psychic issue, which led to the second phase of the God Creating Project. Without the Indigenous Gods, considering Psychics’ susceptibility to interference from Subspace, they would certainly beco minions of an Evil God.
Therefore, it is necessary to create a multitude of deities to divert the worshippers among Psychics, whether they worship Indigenous Gods or other deities. In essence, as long as it is possible to divert those Psychics who might be attracted to the Evil God, it can sowhat slow the revival of the other side.
Places like Novice’s Village and this world are typical; various deities abound, diverting many Psychics, so much so that when Evil Gods hold recruitnt drives here, they find that most talents have already been monopolized by local enterprises…
Ah, that feels pretty comfortable.
Thinking about it, even the knights and guardsn showed her great respect.
Duanmu Huai only rembered then that during the investigations in Neverwinter City that Alia led, whether it was the patrolling knights or the guards, everyone greeted Alia. At the ti, Duanmu didn’t think much of it, assuming it was due to Alia’s attractiveness making her popular. But reflecting on it now, it likely also had to do with Alia’s status as a God-favored Knight.
If that was the case, the purpose of Eribeth assigning Alia to lead the investigation team seed quite strange.
Initially, Duanmu Huai was rather dismissive of Alia and Luganis, seeing them as nothing more than inexperienced young girls, probably assigned a trivial task by Eribeth to keep them out of trouble, which thus linked them with him. In other words, he felt like he was made into a babysitter.
But such a notion clearly doesn’t hold water now unless Eribeth is a mole. Otherwise, why would she possibly drag her own God-favored Knight through the mud?
Wasn’t she afraid that Tyler might strike her down with a bolt of lightning?
Or perhaps this was a trial for the God-favored Knight?
Well, it had nothing to do with him anyway.
But speaking of which…
“You really shouldn’t rush forward like that,”
Duanmu Huai grabbed Alia’s shoulder and pulled her back.
“But, but this place…”
“The contamination from the Corrupted Foil isn’t so easily removed, and you don’t have much power left, do you?”
Indeed, although Alia could make the overgrowth retreat wherever her radiance shone, much of it relied on her own Spiritual Energy. Even though the followers here were just so weak Corrupted Foil devotees, Alia’s approach was sowhat detrintal to herself.
It was okay to fight like this for a short ti, but if it turned into a long-term battle, it would be a different story.
“Huff… huff…”
As expected, at the mont, Alia was panting heavily, sweating profusely.
“But, but the evil here isn’t completely purified yet…”
“Purify my ass, keeping it around is just asking for trouble. Burn it all down and be done!”
As he said this, Duanmu Huai lifted his War Hamr and smashed it down fiercely, the black flas spreading instantly and engulfing everything around in a raging inferno. These black flas, seemingly conscious, avoided Duanmu and the others, rely consuming everything they touched on their own.
“These monsters seem very afraid of Mr. Duanmu’s flas?”
Alia had noticed this, the Plague Mutants showed clearly more fear towards Duanmu Huai’s flas than her own Holy Light. Although she didn’t feel any evil from these black flas, the aura they brought was indeed sowhat uncomfortable for her.
“It’s normal, because this is their natural predator.”
Upon hearing Alia’s query, Duanmu Huai revealed a ferocious smile. The Corrupted Foil is the God of Life, while Black Fla is Predetermined Death, the ultimate end of death for all things. The two are completely opposed, so it’s natural for the Corrupted Foil to instinctively fear Duanmu Huai’s Black Fla. Of course—Duanmu would not let these damned Heretical Bastards off out of pity.
Compared to the front lines with Alia and Duanmu Huai, Ogis and Luganis in the back appeared sowhat relaxed, but while Ogis genuinely relaxed, she even held a book in one hand, reading while she walked. At the sa ti, her left fingertips trembled slightly, and the scattered invisible threads encircled everything, finely slicing anything that dared to obstruct her.
