"If you want to know something? You must agree to a condition first." Rodrik said.
"Let her go?" Yi Lexiang guessed,
"No, keep her safe." Rodrik answered. There has never been a precedent for betrayal since the establishment of "Divine Punishment", and the temple will never let them go.
Yi Lexiang pondered for a moment, "I can guarantee that I didn't know about this matter." His implication was that since they didn't know about this matter, and the universe is so vast, they can naturally go wherever they want.
"There is a secret technique in Divine Punishment," Rodrik said noncommittally to Yi Lexiang's assurance, "Every Divine Punishment has a drop of blood, and a drop of blood that has used the secret technique is stored in the temple. , we can know whether you are alive or dead through the Blood Temple, and can even determine your location and direction." He looked at Yi Lexiang, "If you let us go, we will have nowhere to escape."
Gaia, who was standing behind Rodrik, showed a look of horror. She had never known about this.
Yi Lexiang nodded. There are all kinds of wonders in the world. It is not surprising that the temple has such a secret technique. "In other words, either I keep you safe, or you have to go back?"
"There is only one way to receive divine punishment for not completing the mission!" Rodrik replied coldly, with a hint of loneliness on his face.
"I understand!" A sincere smile appeared on Yi Lexiang's face, "I can guarantee your safety!" His answer was affirmative and firm.
Rodrik stared at him closely, as if trying to figure out how credible this man's words were.
"The general said he would protect your safety, and he will definitely do it!" Bo Jiangang interrupted. The people from the Alliance of Superpowers had just left. The cause of the conflict was precisely because Yi Lexiang made a similar move to a shameful betrayer. promise.
In this world full of lies, promises made by those in power are often empty promises that cannot be honored. But as far as Yi Lexiang is concerned, every word he said and every promise he made was sonorous and powerful, and he never regretted it. This is why many people are willing to put their lives and deaths in his hands. Of course, it will take time for Rodrik to understand this!
The heavily armed soldier standing beside Yi Lexiang looked at Rodrik with a look of disdain. Rodrik read a lot from it, and he vaguely understood in his heart that he was facing a world different from the intrigues of the temple. The people here were more like knights than the knights of the Kingdom of God who had been contaminated by selfish desires. Doubt is a disgrace to them!
¡°Then I¡¯ll be relieved,¡± he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down a heavy burden. "Then there's only one thing left." His voice was low, like mumbling to himself.
Yi Lexiang looked at Rodrik in confusion. 'And one more thing? Isn¡¯t there just one requirement? ¡¯
Only Gaia seemed to have a premonition of something and screamed, "Grandpa, no!"
The chains on Rodrik's wrists suddenly shattered, and a slender soft sword appeared in his hands. He jumped high, like the last blow of a dying lion before death.
??Bright red blood spilled from the air. The only way to break the shackles was to explode the spiritual power in his body. Rodrik used his own life in exchange for the chance to make the final blow.
The black mecha stood in front of Rodrik like an irresistible black mountain. The moment the accident happened, the lifeless mecha suddenly moved, as if they had already anticipated the accident. Pure spiritual beings' keen awareness of mental fluctuations allowed them to stand in front of Yi Lexiang in advance.
The assassination in full public view was unexpected but already doomed to fail. Rodrik had been mentally prepared for this. The sword in his hand hit the thick armor of the mecha, making a crisp cracking sound. The mecha was silent as a mountain and did not fight back. Yi Lexiang had a clear look of helplessness on his face, and Rodrik's lifeless body slowly slid to the ground, "Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!" Rodrik's answer was weak but firm, "I must die! I am the God's Punishment Elder. As long as I live, the temple will know that I betrayed God. They will definitely do their best to kill the betrayer. If I die, They will only think that Gaia was captured by mistake." The blood at the corner of his mouth turned Rodrik's smear into dazzling bright red, "Gaia, the chance of survival is greater!"
"After all, you still don't trust me." Yi Lexiang walked up to Rodrik. His figure blocked Gaia's sad sight.
She stood there blankly, everything happened so fast that she had no time to react. Rodrik's behavior was more of a suicide than an assassination. He clearly knew that the general was a psychic, a psychic with weird spiritual power that he had never seen before. How could his actionsCan it be hidden from the perception of similar people? Even without mecha guards, his assassination would not be successful.
"Haha, I believe you!" Rodrik braced himself, "Otherwise I would not have handed Gaia over to you. But when the object of your betrayal is the supreme god, no amount of caution can be too much. I Gaia knows everything, so it doesn¡¯t count as a violation of my previous agreement!¡±
Yi Lexiang nodded.
He felt that Rodrik's death was not worth it. In fact, he could really protect his safety, just like Shangguan Yan. As long as he sent them to the Black Star District, even the gods might not be able to find them. After all, those gods are just beings that have existed longer than humans. They are not as omnipotent as the world thinks. Unfortunately, Rodrik didn't know this.
Gaia walked to Rodrik's side, crouched down, and held Rodrik's gradually cold palm with her hands that were shackled together. The palm was once warm and generous, but now it is thin and cold. There were no tears in her eyes, just a nameless flame.
"Stay alive!" Rodrik asked softly, and Gaia nodded vigorously.
"Live like a human being" The voice gradually became lower and disappeared silently.
??¡ª¡ª
"God's punishment, no one knows the specific number of people." Gaia was sitting on the soft sofa, with a cup of hot drink on the exquisite coffee table in front of her. The shackles on her hands had not yet been taken off. Although Yi Lexiang thought this was purely unnecessary, Bo Jiangang disagreed anyway.
Rodrik¡¯s last blow just now made him break out in a cold sweat. He was still not used to the fact that Yi Lexiang was a spiritual power user. Even all signs indicate that Yi Lexiang is by no means as fragile as his harmless appearance suggests.
Four soldiers in individual armor stood behind Gaia, looking out of place in this luxuriously decorated room. But Bo Jiangang insisted on doing so, and he would never allow Yi Lexiang to be in danger again.
"Where are you trained? How are you trained?" Bo Jiangang asked,
"Hell!" A sad smile appeared on Gaia's face, "Dancing with the God of Death, those who survive will be punished by God!" She felt the confusion in Bo Jiangang's eyes. "You will never imagine that there would be such an evil and bloody place on a planet called 'Miracles'. It is shrouded in darkness all day long, and the only light source comes from the dark red blood of the underground lava. , it is a place of burning hell. You don¡¯t even know where you are, on the ground or underground, or in another space. The air there is filled with the smell of sulfur, and the only place to live is a dark and hot cave. There is no water, no food, and no living creatures, only a group of lunatics and murderers called God's Punishment." Gaia's voice was calm and low, but it was chilling.
Yi Lexiang had a feeling of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. He thought of the ancient red city deep beneath the planet Gesar. The place Gaia described was so similar to the ancient city in his memory, except that the underground ancient city was completely silent and there was no group of lunatics living there. Perhaps the ancient underground city was not abandoned, but was attacked. He thought to himself.
"God's Punishment is actually a killer." Gaia raised the corner of her mouth slightly and continued sarcastically: "It's just that the temple gave them a better name. Most of them are temple knights who have made mistakes. They are addicted to Killing by nature, they use the lives of others in exchange for their own survival. There are also some people who join voluntarily, just like the Rodrik family. They were once the most devout believers of God. They voluntarily fell into the darkness and used their depravity to protect the Glory to God, what a bunch of pathetic fools.¡±
"A killer kept in captivity by the League of Gods?" Bo Jiangang thought thoughtfully, "This doesn't seem to be scary."
"Nothing to fear?" Gaia raised her head and looked at Bo Jiangang, "I think the military operations of the two major alliances against the League of Gods will stop soon. It is better for you to prepare early."
"Huh?" Gaia's words aroused the interest of Yi Lexiang and Bo Jiangang. Judging from the current situation, the armies of the two major alliances are unstoppable, and it is possible to even fight all the way to the "Ring of Traces". "Why do you say that?"
"Because those in power are afraid of death! Even if they are not afraid themselves, they still have relatives and friends, and they must compromise in the face of divine punishment." Gaia's answer was bone-chilling.
"That's it!" Yi Lexiang nodded, this is the terrifying part of divine punishment, a sharp blade with hidden edge, a steel knife that can remove bones! Its blade fell directly on the skeleton supporting the body, and no one could ignore its existence.
"It's not that the Alliance of Superpowers and the Akashic Society have joined forces to exert pressure and not allow divine punishment"
"That was before," Gaia interrupted Bo Jiangang unceremoniously, "I don't think you understand the meaning of death and defeat!"
¡°¡¡±
??¡ª¡ª
"What do you think?" After arranging for Gaia to be sent back to her room, Bo Jiangang returned to Yi Lexiang's room with a trace of worry on his face. "The words of Gaia"
"I believe her!" Yi Lexiang also looked sad. The peace was too short, and the short-lived Charno had no time to savor its taste. "How is the evacuation of the planet back from the Imperials going?"
"It's almost over." Bo Jiangang sighed, "However, there is still a lot of equipment that has not been transported away."
"If you're not lucky, just blow it up. I can't care about so much now." Yi Lexiang also sighed, "Now the news that 'God's Punishment' has reappeared should have spread. I estimate that the two major alliances will be the fastest in the next two days. will react. At that time, the game surrounding Charno will become the main theme again, and this time we will have no way out."
