At that moment, the bishop felt his power begin to change, his faith begin to gather, and a great deal of light spread outwards.
Over the past month, mining thieves have appeared in various places.
The so-called mining thieves were actually local residents.
These inhabitants are losing their lives as the world is destroyed, and their humanity is also fading away due to moral and legal reasons.
In this situation, although they strangely no longer need to eat, their own existence is also difficult to replenish.
By chance, some local indigenous people discovered that the mud mines that these outsiders were fighting over could restore a certain degree of their health after they obtained them.
However, it is impossible to give them the mud, which is an important strategic resource, as this would be a waste from any perspective.
Thus, the profession of mine thief came into being.
In order to survive, they would use any means necessary to obtain mud.
Faced with these mining thieves, different parties chose different approaches.
The Dwarfs directly used a special mind mapping technology.
With this technology, most local indigenous people simply cannot get close.
Both the Eldar and the Prayer have only one approach—kill!
We'll kill them all if we catch them.
However, in general, mine thieves are just thieves; they have virtually no ability to fight directly.
There was only one exception.
Today they are going to seize this exception and make him pay for stealing from the mud mine!
"Seal off this area and don't let the mining thieves escape. The law is above all else; they must pay the price for their actions!"
Inside the mine, shepherds were rapidly extracting the mud ore.
However, his expression became exceptionally complicated.
These mud deposits contained some markings, through which he could roughly identify their origin—something that was disappearing from this world.
They are being plundered, but as the plundered, those who take back what is theirs are still called thieves.
However, as the mud was absorbed into his body, the shepherd felt his body warming up, and at the same time, in his sea of consciousness, the human realm connected by countless threads was slowly changing.
This is the hope for all living beings in this world.
For this hope, he still had the courage to perish together with these people.
While continuing to absorb the mud, the shepherd made arrangements.
He had been planning for this mining area for several days.
During this period, mud mines in other places have basically shrunk, and he doesn't know how long it will take for him to conquer another mud mine like he did today.
Countless rays of light shone into the pitch-black mine.
The shepherd stood there waiting for the prayers to arrive.
The bishop mobilizes the amount of faith, which then generates pure divine power.
He seemed like a holy being in the light, looking down at the shepherd.
"Waiting for us in this confined space? They're practically asking for death!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, countless rays of light burst forth.
However, the next moment, a dark figure rushed out against the light.
Chapter 628 Only in such soil could I have grown into someone like this.
In confined spaces, light diffuses back and forth.
Therefore, under these circumstances, the attack capabilities of the Prayer Bishop will be comprehensively enhanced.
But he never expected that someone would be hiding at the mine entrance.
This is how the hole is 'blocked'.
This is essentially suicide.
Behind that figure, the shepherd seized the opportunity, dashing out in a flash, followed by a completely different light.
Blood and flesh flew around him, but the shepherd's eyes were filled with determination.
The person who blocked the hole for him was someone the shepherd knew.
The blond prince I met in the capital.
His radiant blessing and the prince's elegant union left a deep impression on the shepherd.
When the shepherd defeated him, he also captured the eldest princess, revealing his identity as a divine messenger.
The prince, however, shouted "You just wait!" and chose to leave.
For a while, he was still thinking about how to get revenge on the shepherd.
Then the world was destroyed.
Because of his moral failings, he transformed into a wandering monster.
After encountering a shepherd, she was healed by the shepherd through a humanitarian connection.
Then, after learning of this hope in the realm of humanity from the shepherd, he devised the current plan.
He, who once shone brightly, now died in the light.
He, who once insisted on maintaining the elegance of a prince, is now blown to pieces.
He, who once wanted to take revenge on the shepherd, chose to pave the way for the shepherd with his own life.
At that moment, the shepherd seemed to transform into a ray of light.
Bathed in the radiant light, the shepherd also began to glow.
This is a skill he has developed during this period.
He was able to connect with the hearts of those who had received blessings and then draw their consciousness into the realm of humanity.
In this way, he can obtain the other party's blessing and then mimic the effect of that blessing in the realm of humanity.
The shepherd is now emulating the golden-haired prince's blessing—radiant light.
Light against light.
The Bishop of Prayer had basically not expected this move.
His entire body was shattered in the blink of an eye by the shepherd's blow.
The shepherd then launched a one-sided massacre.
At this point, he inevitably began to apply double standards.
He once felt despair because Mocania treated people in the real world differently from people in their world.
But now he is also treating the Prayer race differently.
Although the other group is a different civilization and a different race, they are indeed a civilized group, and in some areas they also have a good moral standard.
For example, they are friendly and cooperative towards their own people.
These people cannot be simply described as good or bad.
But at this point, he has to apply double standards.
Their positions are different.
These prayer-givers come into this world with their own strategic goals.
Mud mines are a war resource they absolutely need to acquire.
The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable.
When forced to fight for survival, the shepherd chooses to apply double standards.
They acknowledge that the other party is a sentient being, yet they treat them differently.
Because he carries on the responsibility of ensuring the continuation of this world for countless people.
The shepherd has no responsibility whatsoever for these people who are praying right now.
In a sense, they can all be considered invaders of this world.
Those who had come with the bishop quickly responded to the shepherd.
However, the shepherd's strength has increased significantly after absorbing the mud.
He won't be much weaker than he was in his prime.
Without any hesitation, the shepherd killed them and chose to bear the sin.
"I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough right now. If I held back, I might not be able to complete my mission alive," the shepherd said after killing these people.
Then they quickly moved on to find the next mud mine.
He could roughly sense that the mud resources he had collected so far were not enough.
In the final moments, the mudstone determines whether that world can still exist.
With this determination, the shepherd headed to the next location, and then found that time around him had become strange.
Everything seems to be slowing down.
He had experienced this feeling once before.
Sure enough, there was a person standing in front of him, squinting at him.
“Mocania,” the shepherd said coldly.
"Don't you even have basic respect for me?" Mocania frowned, not angry at being offended, but just feeling regretful.
“You don’t deserve respect, especially now that you’re standing in front of me.” The shepherd knew very well that someone like Mocania would never help him.
He has appeared before me now for only one purpose—to stop me.
Sure enough, Mocania then said, "Do you know that you are going down the wrong path?"
"He resurrected himself by accepting the power of a dangerous figure like Nemus, and then wreaked havoc in the war zone."
"This world cannot tolerate someone like you."
"Stop now, and then follow my instructions..."
"Fuck your mother!" That's all the shepherd said to Mocania.
"What did you say?" Mocania was stunned, not even realizing what the shepherd had said.
"I said, I'll fuck your mother!" The shepherd's calm voice contained the ultimate insult to Mocania.
After Mocania's actions of 'persuading' him to surrender, the shepherd no longer wanted to argue with him about anything, nor did he think the other party deserved to listen.
Despite the shepherd's insults, Mocania was not particularly angry. He was a moral person and would not be angered by such an insult.
He just thought Nems was really scary.
The shepherd was originally a morally upright and idealistic man who met Mocania's preferences and was admired by him.
Yet this same person, after being resurrected by accepting Nemus's power, became so vulgar and rude, no longer possessing a trace of the qualities he once admired.
"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to expend some of my power to kill you," Mocania said regretfully.
At that moment, the shepherd was genuinely amused and exasperated.
However, after laughing in anger, he also realized that he was really young and impetuous, actually listening to this 'puppet's' nonsense.
At this moment, the shepherd wanted to say something.
"I want to thank you, and also thank Ms. Isabella."
"Her ideas inspired you; though immature, they were like a seed that gave you an understanding of kindness and morality."
"Although you've gone astray in the process."
"But at least you brought your roots into this fairy tale world."
"Only in the soil of a fairy tale world could I have grown into the person I am today!"
