"Hehe, I should have added a fire at this time to encourage you to turn back and deal with Hallmonks, but ......," Higgs yawned lazily, and said with a sigh of interest, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to play this child's game with you." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Anthony asked unwillingly.

Higgs looked at him with pity: "Frankly, Holmonx does not mean to deceive you subjectively, he is just pure stupidity, he never dreamed and did not want to think that he is actually the embodiment of sensual personality, he naively thought that he represented the light of reason in Akron, but he did not realize that his sentimentality, his excessive sympathy, his futile efforts to protect the weak, were all the embodiment of sensuality and impulsiveness, and I, Higgs, was the embodiment of Higgs. Heir to the rational personality of Holmonx. ”

His gaze swept over the group of young men with different expressions in front of him, and Higgs asked himself in an indifferent tone:

"What can you do if you can't defeat a strong enemy? Unrepentant and stubborn like Holmonx? Of course not, reason tells me that it is foolish to try to fight against the will of the evil god, and since I know that I cannot defeat the other party, I should choose to follow it, which is the wise thing to do. ”

"If you can't defeat the other party, follow him", this logic is really difficult to refute.

Excluding emotional factors such as morality and dignity, Roland has to admit that Higgs made the best choice for him, but if a person completely abandons the moral bottom line and does not care about his own dignity at all, can he still be considered a human being?

Higgs continued his sermons, as if in conversation with another personality in Vault 13.

"Holmonks and the so-called 'sober ones' around him are just a bunch of self-righteous fools, the 'fanatics' are not really much better, they are just a bunch of madmen at my disposal, I am the only 'sober one' in Akron, the guardian of the city, as for you outsiders whose hearts are blinded by greed, you can either choose to join the church of the fanatics or choose to die, there is no other way."

At the end of his shameless speech, Higgs sat upright, his eyes blazing at the young men in front of him, waiting for them to make a choice.

Roland took a step forward, drew his Excalibur and pointed at Higgs on the throne, and replied on behalf of his companion: "Hell you! ”

"Fools who don't know the times!" Higgs looked angry, the madman cathedral seemed to sense his anger, shook suddenly, quickly faded the disguise, from the floor to the ceiling was shrouded by a layer of gray enchantment, all kinds of defensive spells and buff spiritual energy that Roland and others had blessed in advance were all dispelled, the shadows of the ringing nuns appeared on the high platform at the four corners of the church, and the figures of six high-level holy envoys were also revealed in front of the pulpit.

"Good words and persuasion, if you don't listen, then let me die here!" Higgs slowly stood up with his armrest, and the "light of reason" emitted by the golden bell on his chest suddenly went out.

For the first time, the "Sun Crystal" on the chest was lit up, and the "Daylight Technique" lit up the hall. Everyone was amazed to find that the old man on the throne had changed his appearance.

Evil energy from the bottomless abyss surged from under Higgs's feet, causing his otherwise thin body to swell rapidly, tearing through his clothes to expose his dark red and hot muscles like magma, and a pair of pitch-black wings that resembled bat wings spread out on his back.

"This guy seems to have turned into a purgatory form." Grofa watched vigilantly at the changes that had taken place in Higgs.

"It's 'Infernal Embrace,' a psychic ability more terrifying than 'Purgatory Assimilation.'" Roland replied in a deep voice,

The Tier 6 ability, Infernal Embrace, temporarily transforms Higgs into a "Semi-Infernal Form" and becomes almost a true demon, gaining not only multiple damage and magic resistances, greatly increased physical stats, but also a pair of wings that can fly.

When Higgs fully evolved into a demonic form, his massive body still retained his basic human form, his head and face completely distorted into a terrifying image that resembled some kind of deep-sea predator, and when he grinned, revealing a mouth full of shark-like teeth, exhaled a strong sulfur breath, and the golden bell on his chest transformed into a blood-red symbol of madness.

System Tip: Discover the powerful hostile creature "Zealot Master" Higgs (Advanced Deep Diver/Apostle of the Evil God/Semi-Purgatory Maniac 16) CR22!

Before Roland could finish reading the system warning that suddenly popped up, Higgs had already flapped his wings and flew off the throne, holding the silver legendary longbow that exuded cold magic in his hand, and the enchantment of the triple psychic ability instantly opened around his body.

System Hint: Higgs has a Tier 7 ability, "Pain Feedback Shield", and half of any damage dealt to him will be reflected back to the attacker himself!

System Prompt: Higgs displays the Tier 8 ability "Chaos Rift", within 20 feet of Higgs, all attempts to cast spells and manifest abilities will be affected by the forces of Chaos, with a 30% chance of failure and stun the caster/manifester itself!

System Prompt: Higgs has the Tier 8 ability "Dark Despair", and all good creatures that come close to him will be surrounded by despair and will be corrupted by darkness, constantly losing their vitality!

At the same time that Higgs turned into a demon, Roland also noticed that the four nuns hiding in the corner had raised their hands to touch the bell on their chests, knowing that if they delayed any longer, they would ring the bell to release the "microcosm", and immediately used the "telepathic connection" to remind their companions to act according to the predetermined plan, and launched a "divine flight" on their own to rush to the nearest nun.

Rumble! A sonic boom cloud exploded in the air, and Roland instantly rushed to the nun, and Durandal unleashed his force field light energy sword energy, splitting the banshee in half from head to toe.

The first!

Kicking the marble pillar in the air, Roland turned around and flew to the left corner, stabbing with his sword forty feet away. The nun's slender hand was pierced before the brass bell on her chest could be touched - the sword qi spewed forward, shattering her heart.

The second!

The third nun had already touched the bell on her chest, and time was pressed for time Roland didn't have time to adjust the direction, but fortunately, before the battle began, he had borrowed the ability "Global Vision" of Glo Fa through the "Super Resonance Body", and he didn't need to look back to see the scene behind him, and swung a silver arc with his backhand sword. The "Evil Breaking Slash Wave" broke through the air and struck at the third nun.

And the last one!

"Global Vision" made Roland see that the last nun farthest away from him had already grasped the copper bell and began to shake, even if he immediately turned around and used his "divine flight" with all his might, it was impossible to kill the other party before he could show the "microcosm", and long-range attacks such as the "Evil Breaking Slash Wave" and the "Starwood Spear" were either not long enough or powerful enough to kill the nun in an instant......

Fortunately, he still has one last trick - Time Spirit Domain, strike first!
