As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 547: The Origin of the Mechanical Cult
The huge mechanical fortress collapsed and fell on the ruins of Belia like a bug that had lost its soul.

A large number of goblins ran out of the petri dishes. The wild beasts smelled the danger and poured out of the fortress in a line.

Li Nuo, who was inside the fortress, felt the vibration, and hurriedly steadied his steps and looked around.

The walls turned red.

A detonation signal was sent from the fortress with a 90-second countdown.

"What are you doing Nanami..."

He just used [Serious Step Back] to escape from the explosion range and automatically retreated to the operating room deep in the corridor.

Then he put on the [Treasure Hunting Glasses], activated the [Lucky Burst], pinched a [Lucky Gold Coin] to improve his luck, and ran in the corridor for less than a minute before a treasure chest nearby was printed on the lenses of the glasses.

With 70 seconds left before the detonation, Li Nuo found the room where the treasure chest was.

He pulled out his walking stick and cut open the iron gate.

The operating room is about the size of a football field and is filled with gears and pipes.

He couldn't understand the structure, but he saw the [Ancient Gear] lying deep inside the gear that had stopped turning.

Li Nuo strode over, stepped on the gears that were arranged up and down like a staircase, and quickly reached out to pull the [Ancient Gear] off the pipe.

There are less than 50 seconds left before the explosion.

[Dangerous Agent Side Quest Update]

Save Jimmy's Life

[Mission Update: One gear has been found, and there are two more]

Li Nuo touched the mottled surface of the gear with his fingers. The last time he killed "Young Behemoth", the monk who once sealed Behemoth had a last word, which roughly meant that... [Ancient Gear] can seal Warcraft.

He didn't understand the magic of guidance in this world, but if he thought divergently, guidance was actually just a medium, and magic or energy was the main body.

[Ancient Gear] is equivalent to a kind of power-conducting machine that can carry energy and magic power and increase its effectiveness.

The question is how to use it correctly.

The monk sealed Behemoth with gears.

Winston used the gear source to amplify the core energy of the giant fortress.

The minions of the evil are also looking for gears in order to revive the evil.

The initial mission of finding gears comes from the robot Jimmy, and the purpose is to extend Jimmy's life.

So... collecting all eight gears can actually trigger the effect of the "Resurrection Potion".

"Collect eight badges to summon a dragon?"

Li Nuo couldn't help but complain in his mind.

There are only two gym badges left.

Anyway, there is still more than a week left, which is more than enough.

The key is now.

Cha Bai's voice came from the headset.

"Li Nuo, Nanami said you're still in there."

Nanami has already escaped from the fortress using the [Drilling Scroll].

[Drilling Scroll] is something that Wink got not long ago. It can help Nanami escape at any time when she is dragged into danger by Li Nuo and others.

As for why Nanami didn't care about Li Nuo... they were old partners, and she didn't know what kind of character a demon hunter was. The number of life-saving skills he mastered could only be described as tragic.

"Um……"

Li Nuo squatted on the delicate gears and pushed the frame of his glasses.

"Don't mind me, I still have to look for something in here."

"no……"

Cha Bai's tone was a little anxious.

"The explosion of the giant fortress may be more terrible than we thought."

Li Nuo took out the voice-transmitting elf from his arms and handed the gear to the elf.

The next second, the elf opened a hole, came to Cha Bai's side, and gave her the gear.

Li Nuo's voice came from the headset.

"You can do whatever you want, but I don't think that bastard will die so easily. I can't die anyway, so I'll take care of the rest."

Li Nuo threw away his cane, twisted his neck and walked out of the operating room. Pope Winston was still not dead because the mission had not been completed.

He took out the [Potion of Death Sea Urchin] and drank it in one gulp, which had the effect of attracting elite monsters to appear.

……

Deep inside the fortress.

The Holy Grail lies on the ground.

Winston's spirit lingers around it.

As a traveling merchant who once fought against the devil and was also the devil's top subordinate, he still has one last inhumane backup plan.

That is, after complete death, the soul will reside in any creature. As long as the creature's magic strength is lower than his, Winston can retain half of his life with the help of the creature's body.

He should have been happy because no one would have thought that he had a last-ditch plan.

But Winston was nervous.

He sensed that something was seducing him, and that thing was terrifying.

……

In the ruins of the city at the top of the fortress that is about to collapse.

Dust and Merry were picking up bricks.

Both of them had bloodshot eyes.

The guided machine in Daxter's hand showed that there was a special "treasure" under these broken bricks.

“My nails are almost worn off!”

Merry complained without stopping his hands. The equipment of the two was confiscated when they entered the prison. After all, they came from a famous artisan village, and the treasure-hunting guide machine was quickly modified after it was found in an old and deserted store in the neighborhood.

Crushed sand fell from above the ruined building.

"Have it!"

Merry saw a staff from under the stone.

The two men pulled out the staff.

"This seems to be the staff in the hand of Pope Winston."

Dust picked it up and played with it in his hand, and saw a sphere with a faint glow at the tip of the staff.

This ball is red and white.

It was originally what Winston used to subdue "Malger".

"Is this some kind of guided power machine?" Dust pulled out his Poké Ball and wondered about something similar he had seen in ancient books in his hometown.

"It seems to be... a treasure used to subdue demon beasts..."

Suddenly, the road under their feet shook.

Problems all around suddenly increased.

"Hey, hey, hey...what's going on..." Dust hurriedly stuffed the Poké Ball into his pocket.

"It's so hot!" Merry's hand was burned red when it touched the ground: "This place is going to explode!"

The giant fortress "Beria" that carries their city has entered the final 15 seconds of the countdown.

……

At this moment, Cha Bai and others were watching the giant fortress that was about to explode.

According to the analysis of a believer who looked particularly honest, the bomb in the fortress is likely a large [super element warhead] that can destroy a small country. Its characteristic is that once triggered, it cannot be extinguished. When it explodes, it will form a hot element factor with a radius ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters.

It acts on all magic factors within the destruction range, causing a "magic attenuation" virus that can spread rapidly in a short period of time.

It was listed as a biological weapon decades ago and its use was banned by many countries.

Winston had enough money to get it.

In other words... unless there is a more concentrated magical factor surrounding it, the virus will spread to the Tanggula Mountain area within ten minutes or even less.

The ultimate consequence is that... the group of world-destroying monsters in Tanggula Mountain might really come out to destroy the world.

Winston's loyalty to the devil is blunt and direct.

Build the country in this place: one, observe the goddess; two, collect the goblins under the area as reserve soldiers; three, the area is far away from the metropolis, which is convenient for doing things secretly; four, if the plan to subdue the "divine beast" fails, use the giant fortress to attack Tanggula Mountain; five, if the above plans fail, detonate the giant fortress, use the virus to open the cages of the monsters in Tanggula Mountain, mess up the world, and make the goddess Tia have no time to take care of other things; six, if "five" succeeds, the minions of the evil demon will have enough time to resurrect the evil demon.

After the above is carried out smoothly, Winston still has the last resort of parasitizing other organisms to ensure his immortality. Even if he is barely alive, at least the plan is successful.

All plans have risks and surprises.

The biggest surprise was the sudden departure of the goddess Tia. Then, the summoned god was much more difficult to deal with than expected, especially since the demon hunter that the god wanted to kill was actually helping the god.

But excluding all accidents and risks, this final explosion is enough to plunge the Blue Sea Kingdom into chaos. This means that Tanggula will collapse without the goddess, and it also means that the process of the evil demon's return will be smoother.

Winston's brain power is strong enough, if there weren't so many unexpected events, he would cause great trouble to the players.

but!
Who says there is only one god of the "mechanical cult" here.

"Nothing has a greater magical depth than the boundless ocean."

Cha Bai closed his eyes.

The [Ring of Destiny] on the wrist spun wildly, spinning out a magical factor like Mars.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, her consciousness entered the "threshold".

Pure white space.

She silently activated her ability [Wardrobe].

Wardrobe rises.

"I want a MOD outfit exclusively for a great magician."

【Your past is being reviewed】

[We are putting together a package that suits you based on your wardrobe]

[Witch's long skirt + Nun's dress + Shanoya's long skirt + Spellcaster's suit + Bunny girl underwear + Zombie singer's iron apron +]

[Conversion Completed]

A black robe wrapped around his body.

Just like the Hanfu clothes, the whole body is pure white.

Maljie extended his hand to Chabai, clenched his palm, and granted him the great magic enhancement power of [Scholar].

Players can derive "combined skills" from each other, such as Malger's [Mechanical Swamp Cannon] entering Lino's weapon box, and Lino and Nanami using "blunt weapons" to "stab the eyes" of large creatures one after another.

The combined skills of Malger and Chabai have existed since "Cyberpunk". Malger, who plays the role of "scholar", has the ability to upgrade magic by one level, which is only applicable to pure elemental magic.

Chabai stood on the roof.

When Maljie used his skills on her, the final decoration of her dress fell into place. It was a huge white ring made of magic power, like a ring of an angel descending.

In the eyes of tens of thousands of believers, this scene was a blessing from God. God was Maljie, and Chabai was God's apostle. The beginning of the legend often came from a strange misunderstanding, just like now.

The believers saw that the woman under the huge halo seemed to be flying, her black clothes and white hair blown in the wind.

This scene is like a painting.

【Grand Mage Robe】

[Quality: Epic]

[Equipment requirements: YoRHa unit, magic element, crystal magic, spiritual power attribute greater than 200, and has been to the "threshold"]

[Effect 1: Total amount of magic power (qi, energy) +100%, magic power consumption -20%]

[Effect 2: Magic resistance +80%]

[Effect 3: Slightly increase the strength of all magic.]

[Effect 4: Can absorb magic factors from the air, but cannot be converted into attack magic for timely release. Can only be used to fill the shield or special magic strength.]

[Brief description: This equipment comes from the 19920 era of the NieR world, which is the rd timeline of this world view. Jakol met a traveler from another world and got a strange "magic amplification machine". Because he didn't know how to use it, Jakol found a guy named "Xing Kai". With the help of the sloppy doctor, he successfully made a strange piece of clothing. ]

[Jacol was very curious: "Why Hanfu? Isn't magic something from Europe?"]

[Xing Kai sneered: "I am Han."]

[Note: Because the wearing requirements were too high, Jacques threw this dress into the warehouse to collect dust]

Cha Bai absorbs the magical factors around him.

Those intangible factors became like fireflies, swarming towards the circle above her head.

Countdown, remaining time until explosion: 5 seconds.

She rose into the air.

It seems like I have no control over my body.

In full view.

Chabai's eyes turned from blue to red.

Now she needed an ability that would allow her to withstand the magic that was going to be used next.

[Focus 3.0] Skill [Full Potential], activated!
Short hair instantly becomes longer.

The fire seemed to be extinguished under the illumination of the ring, the air was frozen with frost, and time seemed to stand still.

Maljie is a god in the eyes of believers.

Tia is the strongest person in this world and also a god.

Cha Bai's potential comes from the "Ancient Blood". The supreme god that carries that world is the "Goddess of Fate", and the god who grants her the path to becoming a mage is named "Dana Bimei", the god of elements.

The last time she used [Full Potential] was in the battle against "Wrath of Bahamut". Because the negative cost was too high, she never used it again, but now she can use it for Malja's group of followers.

The witch's red eye retina was imprinted with strings of data flowing like waterfalls.

[All negative BUFF cleared]

[Dana Mabe's spirit magic is fully activated, and the data transmission of Kan is activated]

[Enable combat mode]

[Physique +300]

【Strength +300】

Cha Bai's heart sank and his expression became reserved.

With the increase in physical fitness, you can use the next magic perfectly.

Huge magical power distorts space.

Holy, flawless, solemn and gorgeous, an apostle from the "Mechanical Cult", a sorceress who believes in "Lord Triss", an incarnation of another god, she, Cha Bai, pointed her eyes towards an isolated island behind the sea.

The view widens, and the isolated island and the giant fortress that is about to explode are in full view.

A skill that requires a huge amount of magic power consumption and can only be activated in her current condition.

Race [Steel Life Ring].

Skill [Space Exchange].

"dislocation."

The island was exchanged with the fortress.

The isolated island dozens of kilometers away crashed into the ruins of this country.

The huge fortress sank into the sea.

No time to be surprised.

The fortress exploded!
The waves rolled up, reaching up to the sky, and dispersed the clouds!
The seawater containing infinite magical factors extinguished the toxins produced by the explosion.

But huge waves came, as big as mountains, pressing down on everyone like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Maljie glanced at the robot that had been decomposed into a mechanical life form. It was destroyed in the battle with the giant fortress. As usual, he thought, let the mechanical life form build an "umbrella" to block the impact of the tsunami.

"It's just a tsunami." The black-robed priest among the believers suddenly said contemptuously, "It's underestimated."

"Well, I don't want to lose to that woman." Sister Fried, who had been fighting with him, looked at Cha Bai's shadow and said, "We both have faith. She can show her role in front of God. We don't want to be like a swaddled baby waiting for God to send down a miracle..."

The most important doctrine of the "Soul of Steel" Church.

——"At all times, you must have a heart of steel."

The slovenly doctor who treated Li Nuo's eyes shouted with a megaphone: "Fifth article of dogma: we are our own gods!"

Fanaticism and excitement appeared in the eyes of tens of thousands of believers almost simultaneously.

From those in their eighties to children, everyone roared at the top of their lungs at the tsunami falling from the sky.

"All earth elemental wizards assemble!"

"Those with teleportation abilities, send them to the three high observation towers!"

"Do it!"

"Conduction force activated!"

"open!"

The followers of "Soul of Steel" are all psychopaths, and they can start a civil war over trivial matters.

But when faced with a powerful enemy, they can put aside all hatred and conflicts and focus on fighting foreign invasion.

Because there is faith in God.

Because the doctrine fabricated by Li Nuo, Soren, the handsome man and Maljie is the doctrine that saves their lives.

The guide machine containing the earth element shines brilliantly. Under the night and in the waves, huge rock walls rise into the sky!

If you look from a distance, the current scene gives you the illusion of watching the "Fourth Shinobi World War, the Earth Jinba of the Allied Shinobi Forces".

Wells took out a round of [Hardened Ammunition] and put it into the Gatling gun, firing bullets at the upright stone wall, making the rock wall even harder.

"Anyway...it's over now..." Nanami said with empty eyes.

She raised her head, opened her hands, and caught the white tea falling from the sky.

Because of the acceleration of Chabai's weight, Nanami was smashed under the rubble the moment she caught it.

At the same time, the time limit for Maljie's transformation has expired.

With his human body, he took one last reluctant look at this group of lovely believers.

"Hmph..." The dark sea tide surged with great force. It was high enough to overflow the rock wall, and it opened its fangs like an untamed giant beast and bit down on the ruined country.

The waves that were not powerful enough to cause destruction came crashing down and swept everyone away.

In the explosion just now, Li Nuo used [Decoction of the Invincible Star] to resist a fatal attack.

Li Nuo put away the panel. It was almost impossible to see anything in the darkness of the sea. If it weren't for his amazing vision as a demon hunter, he would be blind now.

He blew bubbles in the sea, grabbed the box that was about to float up, and fell along with the broken fortress.

Li Nuo took out the water-soaked [Sea Dragon's ○○ Sashimi] from the bag, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it hard, gaining the abilities [Breathing and Walking in Water], with a time limit of 10 minutes.

The role of the butterfly is most effective at this time, Li Nuo complained in his heart.

He looked around, then "walked" towards the "treasure chest" area marked on the lenses of his glasses.

It is now about a hundred meters from sea level.

As the depth of the water increases, the water pressure also increases rapidly. If it reaches a depth of several thousand meters, the extreme pressure will have a huge impact on the human body and objects, and the compression and deformation of the body's substances will have disastrous consequences.

Even now he cannot ignore the problem of pressure in the sea.

Because the intensity of this world is too high, the magic factors in the sea are dense, and the factors will form "water elements" and condense together to form "water pressure" on the bodies of living things.

In other words, the deep sea in the real world is a physical attack, while the deep sea in this world is a magical attack.

Li Nuo slowly squatted down in the broken mechanical passage. He felt that something seemed to appear around him.

[Death Sea Urchin Potion] takes effect.

Winston's soul passed by, his soul was invisible, the witcher's sense of smell was unusable in the sea, and his perception could not detect Winston who was not in any danger.

But Li Nuo looked at him.

The demon's pupils emitted golden light.

——"Found it."

[Seal of Arden] and [Holy Cross] unfolded instantly, and the light briefly dispelled the darkness in the sea.

The heat swept through Winston's soul, and in the moment before he disappeared, he hungrily attached himself to a fish a few hundred meters away.

So far, Winston has finished in a ridiculous way.

【Reaction breaks through 420 points】

[Select one of the six attributes based on your past performance and talent allocation]

Li Nuo stood in the water, the data on the panel next to him imprinted on his retina.

Choose any one of the six attribute abilities to increase, just like last time. After taking a look, Li Nuo locked on "Constitution".

[Power: Hercules will appear in your dream]

[Reaction: Already selected, you can only randomly select a skill from the existing "Reaction" type skills to slightly increase the skill strength]

[Spiritual Power: You get an element attribute, which must be an element that is not compatible with you]

【Physique: Ass like reinforced concrete】

[Insight: Passive ability to deeply resist illusions]

[Medical: Amplification of recovery abilities]

Li Nuo knew that what he needed now was a passive skill. In the "Border Prison Script", the power to resist illusions that he was so proud of was too dependent on the priest's clothing, so he had to change it.

“Insight.”

[Lottery, obtain (Insight) talent: Dream Awakening]

[50% chance of waking up from a dream curse]

Li Nuo activated the title [Script Destroyer] and reset.

Note: The destructive power caused by the last scenario has accumulated the right to use the ability of this title once.

[Whether to activate the title skill "Misfortune Transfer" and draw it again]

"Ah."

[Lottery, obtain (Insight) talent: Super Resistance]

[Illusions, dreams, negative curses, resistance increased by 50% (the increase percentage may need to be reset when facing the top level illusions)]

"That's it."

Li Nuo's mind acquires skills.

At the same time, a golden cup with foam flew towards him from the depths of the passage.

Li Nuo reached out and took the cup.

The rusty holy grail.

This thing is the "Treasure of the Steel Soul Church" rewarded in the [Rescue the Steel Soul Church] side quest.

A crystal was poured out of the cup.

The [Ancient Crystal] has also been obtained. I will use it after I reunite with Cha Bai and the others. This thing can also be useful to Wells and Nanami.

Then he continued to stare at the Holy Grail in his hand.

Although its name is [Garbage Holy Grail], its effect is to copy a "useless garbage" thing from Li Nuo and others, and its cooling period is five to ten years. It deserves the title of "garbage" no matter how you look at it, but such a thing is regarded as a holy object by Winston.

The reason...only Li Nuo and the others can see it.

When the Holy Grail was in Lino's hands, the information buried inside it reappeared.

A lot of bubbles rose in the cup, and when the bubbles burst, a line of shaking text appeared. After reading it all, it looked like this...

——"I have been in this world for a long time. Although I have been looking for a way to go back, I just can't find it."

——"One day, the guitar my mother made broke, and a little ghost helped me fix it. The little ghost came from the same place as me, 'Hell'. He didn't know his own name, so I said, 'You might as well call yourself the evil devil.'"

——"This idiot actually named himself the 'Evil Demon King' and founded a mercenary group called 'Devils', idiot."

——"By the way, Master, I have taught this idiot the 'doctrine'."

——"Today I found a strange portal. I plan to go to other worlds to continue my missionary work. If I stay any longer, I will evolve into a monster. I wish the Master the best of luck."

Li Nuo really wanted to laugh.

Because the bearer of the "Soul of Steel" is indeed the little robot who turned his mother into a guitar.

The identity of the evil demon was also made clear; he was a demon from the "Border Prison".

As for the useless Holy Grail, Li Nuo put it in his pocket.

He swam toward the surface of the sea.

Looking at the sea that was getting closer and closer, Li Nuo was not thinking about the intelligence he had obtained, nor what to do next.

After the “Insight Value” exceeded 500, a familiar feeling that had not appeared for a long time came back.

The sense of enhancement brought by the increase in attribute values ​​appeared.

It was with that insight above 500 that he was able to see Winston's soul hidden in the sea.

After the attribute points reach 500, the feeling of attribute improvement returns again. Although it is still not as good as the beginning, it is indeed felt.

Li Nuo jumped out of the sea, took a deep breath as usual, and laid his head on the sparkling waves, with a long-lost smile of expectation on his face.

"That's interesting."

……

The flood completely destroyed the city-state of Belia like a world-destroying force.

The isolated island that was originally in the sea now stands in the city.

At this moment, the sky is dark and the moon is dark, with thick fog surrounding the night sky.

The waves rolled by.

The fish and shrimp in the sea were swept under the dilapidated church.

"Pa pa, we are fools, and fools like to fool around~"

A mechanical life form was humming a little tune and wandering around under the church in small steps.

It is one of the summoned mechanical life forms.

The waves swept out a fish, which jumped happily in front of the little robot.

The little robot grabbed the fish and put it in its mouth (mechanical life forms have mouths, but they are hidden under their shells).

“How do I eat it…?”

“I can’t eat…”

"Take it back and show it to everyone!"

Less than a minute later, Malger's summoning ended.

The mechanical life forms returned to the era they came from with their "trophies".

NieR: Automata 11941.

York City (186 chapters).

In some dark corner.

The seats made of trash cans appear to be placed in a messy manner.

The back of the chair was made up of countless arms of mechanical life forms. The man leaned back on it, his pupils flashing with a circle of light.

The eyes of dozens of mechanical life forms were lit with small yellow-green lights.

Their eyes were fixed on the man sitting on it.

The dull expression cannot hide the fanaticism in the eyes.

"Long live the Master!"

"Long live the Master!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

"Long live--!"

There was a roar like a tsunami from below.

"Cult!"

“We are a cult!”

Maljie, who was sitting in the leader's position, was holding his forehead in worry: "Victor, what do you think we should do..."

Victor is now standing next to him, and said guiltily: "Brother Ma, I was born in Night City, and all the cults there have never had a good ending anyway."

At this time, Maljie was thinking about how to turn this place into a normal religion, or at least not a cult.

Because he was worried that the cult members would be difficult to manage.

"I've decided, cults are not okay!"

The mechanical life forms looked at him. After hearing Maljie's determination, the electronic circuits in their brains began to reconnect. The cult has a fanatical side. If it is not fanatical, it can just be an ordinary mafia organization or a church that does charity.

As long as Malger says that he wants to create something, they will immediately switch their memories to that thing.

At this moment... a group of mechanical life forms inexplicably appeared in the corner of the room.

Among them was the little guy with a fish in his mouth.

It took the fish out of its mouth and asked its companion: "Is this edible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fish mutated!
This fish is Winston, and his plan is to follow the group of guys summoned by the "Soul of Steel" to find their base camp, and preferably pass the information to the "minions of the evil spirit."

Because "Soul of Steel" is really hard to deal with!
But the world of "NieR" is too weak. Winston feels that even if he is a fish, he can kill the robots as long as he uses some magic power to revive immediately. What's more... he saw Malger, the god of "Soul of Steel".

"Here... I will kill you... I will kill God..."

The fish suddenly jumped up and grew a pair of strange claws.

During this period of time, Malger was still the good man who had never killed many people. Moreover, he and Victor were being hunted by a group of androids. He was too nervous and showed a trace of panic for a moment.

It was this fleeting panic that was seen by his group of believers.

The mechanical life forms stood in front of him like crazy. Victor shot Winston out of the window. The York City security system detected Winston's abnormality and humanely exterminated him.

Victor put away his gun and looked at the dense group of mechanical life forms blocking Malger's way. He said in disbelief: "It seems that they sense that you are in danger and are protecting you at all costs..."

Marger: “Hmm…”

Victor: "Brother Ma, this is a cult, it's scary..."

Pairs of crazy electronic eyes flashed in the dark room.

"Master, are we still a cult?"

"Or, switch to, another type of, organization?"

Maljie recalled the scene of them protecting themselves for a fish, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "Humph, no, we are a cult. We will always be a cult."

A new round of shouting broke out in the dark house.

"Long live the Master!"

"Hurray! Hurray! Hurray—!"

Maljie stood up, raised his hands, and laughed wildly towards the sky.

"Haha, hahahaha! We are, the Mechanical Cult!"

……

Bang~!

Merry came over and picked up the Poké Ball.

"Fortunately there was a flood..."

The surroundings were in a mess, the sea water submerged the city, and the believers were scattered far away. Malger had just been hit by the waves, and because he was a dog, his defense was too low, causing him to be half-fainted. Dust and Merry seized the opportunity and captured him with the Poké Ball left by Winston.

“I didn’t expect this dog to be a god…”

Dust was a little uneasy.

"Merry, are you still selling it?"

"If it's God... I think he can save our village..."

The woman's face was resolute.

"Daxter, take it back."

If it's just a dog, sell it for a good price as a beast that can drive.

If it is really such a great god...

Merry stuffed the Poké Ball into her bra.

"If it is a god, we should kneel down and beg it to help us defeat the minions of the evil demon... We must save the village at all costs."

The two stupid thieves hid their tracks in the moonlight and fled away with a grin.

On a small building not far away, Nanami wiped the water stains on her hair with a rag and asked the communicator on her collar: "Is it really okay? Maljie has been arrested."

Li Nuo's voice came from the headset.

"Oh haha, Miss Nanami, you are a moron. What Old Ma did is called opening up a second battlefield."

(End of this chapter)
