I have a city in another world

Chapter 6909 The Torture of the Villains
From the depths of the city's underground, bursts of painful wails continued to echo.

Inside the sealed chamber, more than a dozen figures rolled around, and the screams came from them.

These people were barely clothed, their skin was as black as charcoal, and they constantly emitted bursts of acrid, pungent smoke.

Despite the absence of any heat source or flames around them, they seemed to be continuously scorched by fire, their cracked skin constantly shedding ash and sparks as they writhed and struggled.

The sealed room was also filled with an unpleasant odor, as if stale corpse oil had been set ablaze.

Such horrific scenes, resembling torture chambers in the depths of hell, send chills down the spines of those who witness them.

Scenes like this are not uncommon in cities today. Many villains who were once arrogant and domineering are now suffering pain and torment every moment.

Putting everything else aside, this one thing alone was enough to make the people of the city applaud.

Whether before or after the disaster, the city's residents had suffered greatly from the disturbances and torment.

These damned beasts and bastards are utterly wicked, especially recently, they have taken advantage of the chaos to loot and commit countless heinous acts.

Many victims have nowhere to seek justice and can only pray that God will open his eyes and punish these damned bastards.

In the past, even the supplicants themselves wouldn't have believed that God would respond to their prayers.

But now, since the appearance of the idol, those evil people have truly received their retribution.

They suffered terribly every day, hiding underground like rats, and dared not walk on the streets.

Otherwise, if it goes on for a while, the body will start to smoke, as if it is being burned by invisible flames.

Many wicked people hide underground, praying every day, hoping that God will forgive their sins.

Many wicked people, unable to bear the pain, run to the statue of the god and beg for forgiveness, kneeling there for days on end.

Some wicked people sincerely repent, and their mistakes are not serious; their crimes are indeed lessened after a few days.

There were also some wicked people who, seeing no improvement whatsoever, broke down in screams and hurled insults at charlatans and swindlers.

If any evildoers dare to cause trouble, the staff guarding the statues will take direct action to suppress or kill them.

The killing of over a hundred villains did have a deterrent effect, preventing those with impure intentions and wishful thinking from coming back.

But in secret, these villains are constantly plotting; they would never silently suffer and wait to die.

With the departure of those hordes of thugs who ran rampant, the city's residents secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the intimidating presence of the statues, those evil people would surely have become even more arrogant and committed even more cruel and perverse acts.

Even so, only a very small number of citizens became believers, and the vast majority of them remained skeptical and resistant.

Every day, they eagerly awaited the Alliance's arrival to rescue them and help them escape their misery.

But so far, no rescue efforts have been received, and the entire city seems to have been forgotten.

There has been no news of those who risked their lives to escape from this city.

Whether they are dead or alive, no one knows for sure.

Recently, a food crisis has begun to emerge in the city, with large amounts of food being consumed or rotting, making it much more difficult to obtain food.

The situation isn't too serious, but many people have already sensed the crisis and are starting to try to gather food.

Fortunately, there were no villains running rampant at this time, otherwise even collecting food would have been a problem.

If you encounter evil people, not only will your food be stolen, but you may even lose your life.

The location of the temple is in the center of the city.

This gate-shaped building has a huge red crossbeam on top, making it look like a giant archway from a distance.

The statue stood in the center of the gate, overlooking the entire city, leaving no place for evildoers to hide. At the highest point of the building, Tang Zhen lay in a rocking chair, watching the bustling scene below.

This is the top of the statue's head; ordinary people are not allowed to enter, otherwise it would be blasphemy against the deity.

Because of the disaster, the building's owners had already fled, making the acquisition of the temple effortless.

Since the goddess statue manifested and spread its divine power throughout the city, Ashe has become the goddess's acknowledged spokesperson.

His daily tasks included overseeing the construction of the temple, recruiting believers from the citizens, and performing daily prayers and worship to the gods at set times.

In this way, we can deepen our communication with the divine and make the foundation of the divine kingdom projection more solid.

Once it's firmly established, the Wizarding Alliance will have to pay an extremely heavy price to remove it.

When that time comes, the Wizarding Alliance may choose to compromise for the sake of the bigger picture.

Of course, it is also possible that they will spare no effort to completely eradicate this place of divine kingdom projection.

No one can predict what the future holds; all we can do is try our best to guide things in the expected direction.

As more believers joined, the group grew larger and gradually became more formalized.

As the representative of the gods, Aisha possesses the highest power and is also the strongest among the alien girls.

Her current level of strength has already surpassed Yves's, and it continues to improve.

Perhaps it won't be long before I become a high-level cultivator and master even greater power.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ashe will eventually advance to the ninth rank and become a vessel placed on earth by a god.

When needed, she will become a divine avatar, allowing the divine will to break through the crystal barrier and descend to the mortal realm.

Such a descent ritual can only be performed three times, after which the body will be rendered useless.

It's not that Ashe will die, but that she can no longer contain the will of the gods and has become weak due to overexertion.

Once this time comes, the gods will appoint a new representative, and Ashe will step down and disappear from the world's sight.

This is a standard path, and those who participate must follow the rules, as Tang Zhen had clearly stated beforehand.

Ash did not refuse, because she knew very well that this was her only chance.

Compared to her people who were captured and killed, she was actually lucky enough and wouldn't ask for anything more.

The clear divine message she has received, and even the ability to communicate directly with the gods, has given Ashe boundless fighting spirit.

Under the influence of that goddess, Ashe was no longer limited by family hatred, but had a higher goal.

She wants to build a divine kingdom on earth within the Star Realm, so that all oppressed alien races can be protected.

This is a great dream, but it is not easy to realize and will inevitably involve countless hardships.

Ashe wasn't the only one who thought this way; the other alien girls shared the same sentiment. Having escaped hell, they now yearned even more for a perfect paradise, hoping to build and create it themselves.

The people in the city didn't have many thoughts about it; they joined simply to gain protection.

They see it more as an exchange: to get through this difficult period before considering other things.

One thing must be acknowledged: becoming a believer does indeed bring considerable benefits.

Within this city, one can receive divine protection and no longer fear those evil villains.

If someone tries to harm you, simply silently pray, and the evildoer will suffer greatly.

The body becomes stronger, and one can use super speed to help others and cure all kinds of diseases.

When food is needed, simply recite a spell to the plant, and the next day you will see the tree laden with abundant fruit.
