Chapter 637 Humanity and Divinity

Especially the man with a thousand faces.

The threat that Ai Liang felt from him alone far exceeded the combined threat from the Tyrant, the Disciple, and the Magician.

"Since you already know the members of the Apostles' Council, there's no need for me to go into too much detail. There are four Apostles here to seize the DX test subjects this time."

Besides the three familiar faces from last time, there's now a trickster. His strength is below average among the Apostles, but his abilities are extremely troublesome.

Yue Yangyan paused deliberately at this point, seemingly wanting Ai Liang to ask a question.

Unfortunately, Ai Liang is not a member of the Countermeasures Bureau.

"Aren't you curious about Fei Bing's whereabouts?" Yue Yangyan asked.

"why."

Ai Liang asked in a rigid tone, "Where is the Thousand-Faced Man?"

Yue Yangyan smiled with satisfaction: "Fei Bing defected to the Apostles' Council later. With her strength, no one can force her to do anything."

Rather than saying that Fei Bing joined the Apostles' Guild, it would be more accurate to say that she simply wanted an excuse to escape the world.

Therefore, unless personally ordered by the Thousand-Faced Man, she will not interfere in anything, no matter what happens.

After finishing talking about Fei Bing, Yue Yangyan coughed twice to clear his throat and continued, "As for the Thousand-Faced Man, he shouldn't reappear for the time being in order to carry out his great plan to restart the era of the bizarre. Even if he does appear, it will be at most an avatar."

When Yue Yangyan talked about the Thousand-Faced Man, he clearly omitted a lot of the information he knew.

Even Jin Ping'an could tell something was off about that crude way of summarizing.

Ai Liang recalled what the Thousand-Faced Man had said to her during their last meeting: "Have you forgotten something?"

Forgot something?
Yue Yangyan was somewhat confused.

But when he saw Ai Liang's increasingly indifferent gaze, he suddenly remembered.

"You mean about what happened ten years ago? Oh~ Back then, you became incredibly irritable and started killing people in Nevada City, which was definitely due to absorbing those negative emotions."

"Although I captured a lot of negative energy in Nevada, that energy was all in a passive state. You can't blame me just because you tripped over the steps in front of my house, can you?"

"Yue...Yang...Yan!"

Before Ai Liang could speak, Yang Xingguo, who was lying dead on the ground, grabbed Yue Yangyan's ankle. His conjunctiva was red and congested, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"Why?! Why did you do that?! Do you know how many people have died in Nevada over the years?! Do you know how many lives have been ruined because of this?! Do you know?!!"

Yang Xingguo asked the question in a hoarse voice.

The chaos in Nevada has always been a source of anxiety for him.

Yang Xingguo personally experienced both the beginning and the end of the chaos.

Even with his extensive experience, he was unable to eliminate the lingering effects of the past after several years of governance.

The various bad habits left over from the past continue to erode social order like maggots clinging to bones.

Faced with Yang Xingguo's questioning, Yue Yangyan simply smiled faintly: "I know, I've always known."

"I am fully aware of the consequences of releasing Lin Tianze, and the dangers the people of Neva City will face. Haven't you already seen this in the files?"

Yang Xingguo stared blankly at Yue Yangyan, tears of blood welling up in his eyes: "How could you... how could you still laugh after doing something like this..."

Yue Yangyan glanced at Ai Liang beside him. Seeing that the latter did not show any impatience, he lifted his foot to break free from Yang Xingguo's hand and slowly squatted down to look at Yang Xingguo.

"The way you look at a problem will naturally change depending on your perspective. You've already seen those documents and materials. Humanity is now facing the question of its survival."

To defeat the complete monster and all the apostles, one must possess sufficient power.

You can probably guess the abilities of either Hoshizuki or Kira.

As the two grow rapidly, some things will inevitably become sacrifices, serving as nourishment and foundation for their growth. Nevada City just happened to be the place I chose.

Humanity is on the verge of extinction. If you were in that situation, and there was a chance to save all of humanity by simply letting some people die and making life harder for others, would you do it?

Blood silently trickled down the corner of his eye.

The births, deaths, grudges, and passions of mortals are nothing more than a smile in the eyes of the apostles; the collapse of rites and music, and the suffering of humankind, are merely the curtains erected for the script.

Yang Xingguo devoted himself entirely to the city of Nevada and to his daughter, enduring the agony of being burned alive.

In the end, he learned that everything he had done was just a pre-arranged script, and he was merely playing a game of obstacle courses in the palm of someone else's hand.

The idea of ​​governing Nevada is a joke, and even rescuing his daughter was orchestrated by the other side, all to scheme against the Hermit.

At this point, Yang Xingguo finally realized what his sworn brother truly was.

No matter how much these ordinary people struggle and resist, voicing hysterical questions and roars, all they get in return is indifference.

Because God doesn't care.

After completely crushing Yang Xingguo's mentality, Yue Yangyan straightened up and faced Ai Liang again as if he had done something insignificant.

"Where were we?" Yue Yangyan asked knowingly.

However, Ai Liang was no longer willing to cooperate with him.

As Yue Yangyan felt the increasingly heavy telekinetic energy around him, he realized that if he didn't act decisively, the other party might crush his body.

"Okay, let's continue with the previous topic. Tricksters belong to the category of spiritual apostles. The reason behind the large-scale coma incidents in Europe is that the consciousness of those people was pulled into the virtual world created by Him."

The Trickster rarely takes action and has the fewest recorded abilities among the Apostles. Through his only encounter with the Special Bureau, we learned that he seems to be able to transform things into illusion and reality in a short period of time.

According to Travis himself, the enemy's direct combat ability is not strong, but considering you will be facing four apostles at the same time, you'd better be careful.

Yue Yangyan patted Ai Liang on the shoulder, looking worried.

To his surprise, Ai Liang also raised her hand and placed it on his wrist.

Yue Yangyan slowly opened his eyes.

Bang!

Black liquid splattered everywhere.

Yue Yangyan's elbow was crushed to pieces.

A thick, black liquid oozed and dripped from between Ai Liang's fingers.

Yue Yangyan clearly intended to have Ai Liang hold off all the Apostle Society's forces alone, and then come out to pick up the scraps after both sides were exhausted.

"You look a lot like the Thousand-Faced Man."

Ai Liang threw away the severed limb in her hand and crushed it into a puddle with her telekinetic power: "I approach everything with a mindset of finding fun."

Yue Yangyan cheerfully shook his broken arm: "Really? Actually, I think so too, but I'm very different from the Thousand-Faced Man in one aspect, which is..."

Yue Yangyan revealed a meaningful smile: "I have always stood on the side of humanity."
