As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 791 Celestial Collapse
1887 12 Month 1 Day.

Inside the factory, Miaham sat on a rusty bench, with Aita comforting her beside her.

Li Nuo rummaged through things deep inside the factory.

Miaham's gaze lingered on Xiao Wu, who harbored Li Nuo's soul, and on Li Nuo's physical body, which was now occupied by Xiao Wu.

Aita whispered to her from the side, "Li Nuo is a very good person, so he could never accept another woman."

“I’m just indulging in wishful thinking.” Miaham lowered his head, his lips not curving upwards, but a hint of self-deprecating laughter could be seen: “I’m an unclean thing that gave birth to monsters, and I just want to offer some unrealistic hopes to my life.”

“I’ll purify you once we’re out,” Aita said with a smile. “Don’t let my appearance fool you, I really am a deity, and a proper goddess above those ancient gods.”

Miaham was taken aback and exclaimed, "Huh?"

"Found it!" Mr. Derby roared. "I've found the treasure in the factory!"

Everyone was searching for the treasure here, but Derby found it.

He ran out with a roll of blueprints in his hand.

[Manufacturing blueprints for the Type 022 steam compression missile]

Derby exclaimed excitedly, "This thing is too dangerous and too cheap to manufacture, so it's become a forbidden item. I never expected to find the blueprints here... My God, what if it hits me?"

Li Nuo stared with dead fish eyes and said, "The explosion will quickly deplete the oxygen in the enclosed area, so that the survivors who are lucky enough to avoid the impact of high temperature and high pressure will eventually be unable to escape this calamity. The kill radius in open areas is 330 meters, which means that creatures within a 660-meter diameter will cease to exist. Moreover, it contains arcane runes, which are also lethal to creatures with high magic resistance."

Everyone was looking at him.

Mr. Derby was very curious: "How do you know so much?"

Xiao Wu pointed at him with Li Nuo's body and said, "An ancient god once hit him with [022 Vapor Compression Missile]."

Mr. Derby: "Your life is really terrible..."

Li Nuo: "Oh, sir, if you say that about me, I'll get the groundhog to kick your butt."

This damned translation style made Mr. Derby feel like he was listening to a strange dialect.

"This thing is too dangerous, I'll take it first," Li Nuo said.

“Hey…” Mr. Derby hesitated for a moment. He was curious about all things unknown, but he also knew that forbidden items should not be touched, so he said, “Okay.”

"Don't worry, I'll compensate you with gems or something." Li Nuo picked up the blueprint and put it into the compartment of his ponytail tie. He planned to give it to Marger sometime.

"There's something here!" This time the shout came from Amuro.

Amuro and Pippen were squatting in a corner of the factory. Pippen pointed to the floor tiles and said, "Hidden door."

Pippen pressed his palm against the floor tile, using magic to trigger a mechanism. The floor tile disappeared in a row, turning into a treasure chest, but the chest was empty; someone had gotten there first.

Derby touched the treasure chest, frowned, and said, "I've seen this thing in a book before. It seems to be a treasure chest from the Great Labyrinth of the Pumeru Golden Cup..."

“Never mind that.” Amuro stood up. “Let’s get moving.”

The players present could destroy the entire Yharnam at any time; they didn't care about trivial treasures.

Aita took out the Helmet of the Sun Knight. Before putting it on, she pinched out fine threads with her fingers and stuck them to everyone, including Mr. Derby and Miaham.

"Take both of them with you?" Pippen worried that "ordinary people" wouldn't be able to withstand the devastating battle that was about to unfold.

"It's more dangerous to keep them here," Aita told everyone using telepathy.

Miaham's unique circumstances make it best to keep her within sight.

As for Mr. Derby, even if we don't take him along, he'll find a way to come. He's the kind of academic who's willing to die to solve a mystery.

Li Nuo, Amuro, and Xiao Wu did not express any opinion.

"It's begun."

The moment Aita raised her hand and put on the [Sun Knight's Helmet], the whole world seemed to be ignited.

The scorching flames burned Aita's soul.

The divinity of the Gemini goddesses extinguished the flames like flowing water.

Suddenly, everything went black.

When the scene returns to view, we are now in the snowy landscape of Cainhurst.

[Main Quest Update: The Secrets of Cainhurst]

[Quest Details: Go to the Northern Undead Asylum and find the "Sun Knight's Helmet." Only those with divine radiance can use that helmet. (Completed)]

[Mission Update: Liberate Yharnam, defeat Queen Cain and her vampires to obtain the Painted World of Yharnam] The seven stood before the massive gate, behind which stood the towering castle, the hiding place of Cainhurst's vampires.

Li Nuo and the other players raised their heads, their gazes piercing through the swirling snow and the thick, bloody aura, like sharp blades stabbing into the interior of Cain's castle.

The vampire queen Marianne stood by the window, her long dress appearing in the darkness like a bloodstain that had not yet dried.

She slowly turned her pale face to look at a painting behind her, in which the figure opened its dark eyes.

"Mr. Fenrir, you need to come and help."

"The key to the barrier we created using items from the Sun Knights has been opened, which means that one of them is a genuine god."

A portrait of "Aita" appeared on a canvas in the corridor.

“I don’t know what those people are here for, but I know we can’t hold them off for long, once they get to my room…”

The lights inside the room flickered incessantly.

The flickering light and shadow enveloped Marianna and the giant dragon coiled on the red carpet behind her.

"Please hurry, if this child is killed, our experiment will be completely ruined."

In the painting, Fenrir closes his eyes, turns around, and disappears into the canvas, implying that Fenrir will come, but Marianne will need to hold him off for a while.

Marianna turned around, touching the dragon. Her cold fingers slid across its scales. This dragon, from the Second Age: Dark Souls, was the ultimate weapon researched by the vampires and the Healing Church. It only needed a suitable vessel to unleash its full potential.

A stunningly beautiful girl with a ponytail appeared in the painting in the corridor.

That girl possessed immense power, was a virgin, and was the perfect vessel. She was Xiao Wu, and now she is Li Nuo.

"Everyone listen!"

Marianne issued commands into the darkness.

Inside Cainhurst's castle, gargoyles opened their eyes, the spirits guarding the armor clashed, vampires' eyes flashed red dots in the darkness, the mechanical weapons protecting the castle began to replenish their energy, and the outer protective layer of the castle collapsed.

"Activate all defenses and hold out for at least an hour. Do not let those outsiders into our area!"

She took out a "blood gem," bit into it, and Mariana was about to transform into a monster.

She vowed that anyone who came would never return.

Even if a god were to descend.

……

"Miss Miaham."

Amuro stood at the very front of the group, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and shivering slightly in the cold wind.

"Miss Miaham!"

He called out again.

Miaham paused for a moment: "Ah, Mr. Amuro, what's wrong?"

Amro asked, "Isn't the human experimentation that Cain Hearst has been conducting very similar to your own unbearable past?"

Miaham placed his hand on his chest and remained silent.

The swirling snowflakes obscured her slightly bitter expression, and Amuro could sense that she had admitted it.

Aita crouched down, placed her hands on the snow, and activated her unseen magical power, sensing the creatures within Cain's Castle.

"They are all malevolent creatures; there are no humans among them."

She was telling Amuro, and everyone else here, to do whatever they wanted.

"Yarnan... the experiments in this place, the innocent bystanders, all the tragedies, all stem from the cruelty of the vampires and the atrocities of the Healing Church! Since that's the case!"

Amro raised his chin; the Virgin Mary's nature was to hate evil, and he had been holding back for a long time.

"Celestial magic! Collapse of stars!"

Amuro raised his arm high to the sky, his fingertips bursting with starlight that pierced the eternal night.

His robes fluttered in the gale, and the star trails surrounding him suddenly expanded, transforming into a dazzling river of light that pierced through the void. A huge hole tore open in the sky of the dreamland, from which a burning meteorite fell.

Cain Hearst is facing its moment of destruction.
