Chapter 36: The Conspiracy of Number One
Shortly after the swarm launched an operation, destroying the Evolution Church's stronghold and "Shrine" in King's Harbor.
At the end of the forest sea, in the land in the north of the plain that has been conquered and occupied by demons, a ruined demon-filled city welcomes a special guest.
The man was shrouded in a black cloak, but the cloak on his back was conspicuously torn open with several symmetrical oval holes, and he hurried all the way in the direction of the city's cemetery, and the large hordes of demons and monsters around him walked by him as if they didn't see him.
With the demons and monsters undeterred, the mysterious man in the black cloak soon arrived at his destination, which was the cemetery where the second and others had come before.
He threw a translucent blue chip towards the cemetery gate, and the moment the chip passed through the cemetery gate, a blue humanoid phantom appeared in front of him.
"Number one?! Why did you come here in person? ...... over there in King's Port"
"Something happened to King's Port! Our strongholds and holy places have been uprooted! ”
Number One frowned, a worried expression written on his face under the cloak.
Hearing his words, Seven's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What?! What the hell is going on? I saw No. 2 a few days ago, why now... Who did it?
Is it parliament? Or did the Demon God discover your identity? ”
"It's not the Council, it's not the Demon God, it's an adversary I provoked in the rainforest before......"
Number One shook his head, not wanting to elaborate, but walked past the phantom on his own, towards the underground passage that had opened behind the tombstone.
"Don't talk about it outside, that guy might have the means to monitor remotely."
"Okay......" Seven had a stomach full of questions to ask, but he also knew that now was not the time.
If the strength of the opponent mentioned by Number One really reaches the point of overturning the entire church layout of King's Harbor, then they must be careful here.
Although Tristram has a natural barrier to the demon clone army, the demons here do not really listen to their orders, and the ruler of Tristram is the Black Mad Lord Leoric, who has been since he was a human a long time ago.
So he also directly eliminated the projected image, and the real body welcomed No. 1 into the stronghold, and after both of them were seated, No. 7 began to ask in a panic.
"What's going on? How could the stronghold of King's Port be discovered? And even the Holy Land was found by the enemy, what is the origin of that opponent of yours? ”
"The reason why the stronghold and the Holy Land were discovered should be Number Two, he hasn't been back since he left you, and I suspect that he has been captured by my opponent."
Number One said in a heavy tone.
"You mean... Number Two has mutinied?!
But how is this possible? We all know that Number Two is the most devout God in the church besides you, how could he betray the church?
It doesn't make sense! ”
Seven heard the meaning of No. 1's words, and his tone retorted with a bit of incredulity.
"It doesn't make sense, but my opponent... Hey! Not a guy who can explain it by common sense!
When I was working under the Demon God, I had heard that this guy actually plotted against two die-hard members of the Spencer family, and one of them was even a top-level legendary powerhouse of level 99!
As a result, the three hellish demon gods had to give up their trust in the Spencer family and take back their family privileges.
Even hellish loyalists like the Spencers can rebel, and while I believe in Two's loyalty to the Church, I'm afraid ......"
"The guy who plotted against the Spencer clan old Randall... Is that your opponent?
Your opponent is Xue Hua?! ”
Listening to his words, No. 7 only felt that a basin of cold water was poured down on his head in an instant, which was really cold!
"Huh? Do you know him? Now it was No. 1's turn to be surprised, he knew that Xue Hua had assassinated him entirely because Mephisto had asked him, and then he noticed that Xue Hua was unusual and began to pay attention.
In the past few years, because of the influence of the brainwashing effect of genetic drugs, No. 1 has devoted all his energy to developing the Evolution Church and completing the third "divine art", and he is not as concerned about the information of the outside world as other evolutionaries.
That's why he felt extremely weird that No. 7 knew Xue Hua's name.
"I don't know him, but of course I know him!
Oh, my God! The god of evolution is back! This guy's reputation has spread throughout the First World!
A necromancer of more than thirty levels, he killed the doppelganger of the demon god Mephisto alone!
Who believes this kind of thing?! After all, that's a level difference of nearly seventy levels!
Not to mention that the other party is still a demon god!
But this guy just did it! And there are a bunch of legendary professional bosses who testify to him in the back!
I heard that the leader of the Demon Slayer Legion recommended that he skip the trial of the Demon Fortress and go directly to Harogas to prepare for the World Stone!
In the past few days, the name of this guy has been spread everywhere outside, and even the guy under the imperial tomb knows about his deeds!
How could I not know? ”
"What?! You say he single-handedly killed Mephisto's doppelganger?!
How is this possible?! I even went to assassinate him! If he could kill Mephisto's doppelganger, how could I have escaped from him alive both times? ”
One's eyes widened as he looked at Seven in front of him, as if to hear him say it was just a joke.
However, the worried look in One's eyes quickly dispelled all his luck, and the entire underground colony fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, Seven asked One in a somewhat hoarse voice, "So, what do we do now?" ”
Although the stronghold in King's Harbor is not large, there are four of the top ten Evolutionaries in it, and those are part of the essence of the Evolution Church, and now that they have suddenly lost this power, it can be said that they have now fallen into a very passive situation.
"We must reclaim the sanctuary under the King's Harbor, and everything else is fine, but without the sanctuary we have no source of materials necessary to perform divine arts......"
Number One said categorically.
The Evolver is gone, and it can be recreated, as long as he is alive, it is not a problem.
But without the sanctuary, they would have lost the most important source of materials for the reconstructive operation, which is the most fatal for them.
"What?! Are you crazy? Now, the necromancer over there in King's Harbor must have opened a net and waited for us! Now go back, just with us? Even if you recall the brothers in all the other cities, you will definitely fall into the net! ”
No. 7 looked at No. 1 with the expression of a madman, their strength had just been hit hard, and now they would definitely go back and give them their heads.
"Of course we can't do it alone, but if we can successfully borrow a bit from someone here, I believe the chances should be quite good......"
There was a grim expression on his face under Cloak One, the Sanctuary was an important safeguard that they could never lose, and he had to take it back no matter what.
At the very least, we must get hold of the "holy relic" in the sanctuary so that the Evolutionary Church can continue to develop.
"Borrow?" Seven frowned, and then a shocked expression suddenly appeared on his face.
"You want to release Leorik?! Are you crazy?! It can't be in this world! The Tribulation will banish it back to Hell in the moment it is born!
Diablo will definitely sense that something is wrong, and once it starts to investigate the Evil Pact, we won't be able to hide it! ”
"Who said to put it out completely? We just need to loosen the seal of that crown a little bit so that it can project the clone to the outside world, and then send the crown into King's Harbor, and that brainless skeleton idiot will act for us......"
A gloomy sneer hung on his face under Cloak One, a plan he had already thought out on his way to escape King's Port.
