Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Chapter 455 Escape and Relay

Backlund time, 5:00.

There are still 15 hours until the launch of the Sentinel.

Two priests of the Ferris God Cult, carrying a heavy coffin, rode their motorcycles wildly in the city, gradually fleeing from the vicinity of the Harvest Church.

Compared to the authentic priests who possessed the holy objects and the chief priest who was the highest representative of the religion, the two of them were just apprentice priests and were not qualified to possess the holy objects and code names.

The navigation randomly selected a location far away from the city and quickly evacuated the two of them from the scene.

The escape route was planned in advance, avoiding all the churches in Backlund to prevent his tracks from being captured by the church's cameras.

The church's surveillance system generally possessed the blessing of a higher-ranking deity than the cameras in Backlund's citizen system. The trainee priest wasn't sure if these gadgets, representing the eyes of the gods, could penetrate the protection of the Sky God on him and capture their escaping figures.

In this case, it is better to simply avoid it altogether, solve the problem at the source, and avoid taking unnecessary risks.

Another thing that the novice priests are concerned about is St. Julie's Church in the city.

According to intelligence, the vast majority of extraordinary events that occurred within Backlund City would inadvertently approach Saint Julie's Church and ultimately be strangled by the Red Gloves of the Church of Evernight.

Therefore, the novice priests' destination was not in the city, but in the suburbs far away from the city.

How to resist the influence of St. Julie's Church, successfully cross the city and reach the suburbs outside the influence range is the biggest problem for the Ferris believers.

The novice fled along the navigation, keeping an eye on his position on the map, and consciously fled in the direction away from St. Julie's Church.

Seeing that they were far enough away from the Harvest Church, the two trainee priests stopped in the alley, looked at each other, opened the small coffin, and the little girl rolled to the ground.

The two men turned over to the other side of the coffin, opened it and inspected it.

The other half of the coffin was filled with a twisted and rotten monster of flesh and blood.

These two are the Tianming Divine Envoy whom Klein once hunted during the Kilia Island operation, and the little girl wrapped in his body.

The body imbued with divinity and the little girl baptized by the red light became a symbiotic whole under the power of the [same] authority of the God of Sky.

Now He is separated into two parts by the coffin. No matter whether He kills the little girl or the flesh and blood monster, the "dead" part will return to the other half and immediately merge into a truly complete mythical creature.

In order to avoid the guiding role of St. Julie's Church in all extraordinary conflicts, the Ferris Cult separated the messenger and the girl, starting from different paths and finally converging in the suburbs.

The monster was placed in a coffin and carried by an apprentice priest to attract the attention of official forces and create enough opportunities for this inconspicuous little girl.

The little girl's mission is even more important.

Under the guidance of the apprentice priest, she would wander through the devastated city of Backlund.

All the previous activities have left behind large and small [Sky-high Scars] all over the city, hiding the mysterious power from the God of Sky.

The girl will walk through every wound in this city, draw energy from the scars to feed herself, and finally merge with the flesh and blood monster with supreme spirituality, becoming a sinful creature comparable to an angel.

In order to avoid the influence of St. Julie's Church, the novice priests will take turns using different tokens to guide the girl's actions in a relay manner. The girl, who has lost her mind and self, will follow her instincts and stagger forward in the direction of the token.

Unfortunately, this plan did not start well.

The apprentice priests originally wanted to start in the Harvest Church and draw power from the first [Heavenly Scar].

But in fact, they found nothing.

The scar and energy seemed to be easily wiped away by an invisible and secret hand.

Could it be the effect of those disinfectants?

The apprentice priests were somewhat perplexed. According to their spiritual intuition, this level of purification was far from enough to offset the hidden power of the [Scar of Heaven].

But what else can one do when one has the opportunity to do all this?

Apprentice priests cannot change the established past, but they can adjust the unknown future.

The plan needed to be adjusted. If the little girl couldn't gather enough energy, the resulting monster wouldn't be as powerful as a Sequence Two.

In order for the Sky God to bypass the protective barrier and sneak directly from the starry sky to descend upon Backlund, an angelic body imbued with the spirituality and contamination of the Sky God was essential.

Only with such a divine being could one become the anchor of the gods. Through the authority of [sameness], the divine being within the barrier could resonate in unison with the Sky God outside the barrier, merging with each other and completing their smuggling and arrival.

This plan has two key difficulties: one is how to create a divine being, and the other is how to bypass official forces and avoid the Orthodox Church's irresponsible attack on Sequence Two.

Now, the difficulty faced by the trainee priests is how to make up for the missing spirituality and divinity to ensure the smooth progress of the plan.

"How to do?"

An apprentice priest held down the little girl and looked up to ask his companions.

"Sacrifice, prayer ceremony, fusion of holy objects," the trainee priest holding the coffin replied, "Which one do you think we can do?"

"At our level, we are not qualified to pray for the Lord's blessing and power. We are not formal priests and cannot obtain true holy objects.

"The only remaining option is sacrifice..."

The two thought quickly and found a solution.

"Where are the most crowded places today, Winter Festival Eve?"

"Churches, squares, palaces, main roads..."

"No, not in the city. We won't be able to succeed with the interference of St. Julie's Church."

"What about the suburbs? If it's the suburbs...

"Then there's only the playground."

The two trainee priests looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and immediately reached a consensus.

The trainee priest carrying the coffin got on a high-powered electric motorcycle, turned around and sped away.

The remaining one let go of the little girl, quickly left her sight, took the token in his pocket, and disappeared into the city filled with a festive atmosphere.

The dazed little girl slowly stood up, gently lifted her feet, and stumbled forward.

The girl's world was in chaos. The songs and heavy snow on Winter Eve could not enter her world. She just moved forward in a daze, relying on her deepest instinct.

The dazzling city turned into meaningless colors, spinning in the girl's world.

A memory that has been deposited in the subconscious mind rises faintly.

It seemed that her family had done the same thing in the past, taking her for strolls on the warm and peaceful streets on Winter Day.

Hymns flow through the streets, blessings resound through the sky, and happy smiling faces spin like a kaleidoscope, forming a gorgeous flowerbed.

But her parents are the sharpest thorns among these flowers.

"Crying? You still have the nerve to cry in this street?

"It's really a disgrace to the nobility!

"Our family doesn't need a cowardly piece of shit like you!"

Then the thorn ran away like the wind and could never be caught up again.

...Dad...Mom...

...I promise...I will never cry again...

...Please...don't abandon me...
