Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

"Are they over there? Okay."

Catalina seemed to recognize the abilities of the brother and sister and felt a little relieved.

Looking back, she took Ye He to check the new steam engines in several places in the city of Cedarville, but these machines were all operating normally, and there was no sign of the inhabitation of any god or divine power.

Just when Ye He couldn't help but wonder if Catalina was deliberately wasting his time, a grand sacrifice was quietly being held in an often unnoticed place on the outskirts of Cedarville.

This is the water plant in Cedarville, which draws water from the Imos River. After initial water purification, it supplies clean domestic water to the entire city of Cedarville.

As a princess, Catalina had no idea how much water cost in Cedarville, nor did she realize how much pressure there was on the water supply in the entire city.

The first batch of new steam engines produced by the Imperial Research Institute's direct machinery factory was actually placed here.

The new steam engine could provide greater power to complete the work of pumping and transporting water, which indeed alleviated the water supply pressure of the entire city.

But at the same time, this is also the place where the Lord of Corruption opened his eyes again for the first time.

No employee of the entire water plant was spared, as they were all controlled by the Lord of Corruption.

At this moment, they were naked from the waist up, kneeling neatly in front of a huge machine buried in the pool.

Amid the prayers of these inspired believers, a ray of light that could be called divine light, or the source of pollution, was being released freely from the surface of a large machine at the bottom of the pool!

But what was strange was that the light did not seep out of the water, but instead quickly flowed along the water flow into a larger pool, and then seemed to dissipate and disappear.

Is it really gone?

[Be born... my kingdom... even if I don't have the power to raise you up... it doesn't matter... this city will become my kingdom... a hotbed of corruption...]

The will of the dead god roared in the air, guiding his believers to pray more devoutly and with greater effort.

Behind the pool are water pipes that lead to various parts of Cedarville.

It turns out that the true form of the [Lord of Corruption] has descended here. His purpose is to pollute the water source and contaminate the tap water of the entire Sedaville in one go!

Ye He and Katarina had no idea that the Lord of Corruption would have such great ambitions!
If he succeeds, I'm afraid all mortals who use this water will be infected by his [Grace of Corruption].

He wants to transform the entire Sedaver into his [Kingdom of God on Earth]. Mortals who use this water will have their faith distorted and become his devout believers even in the mildest cases of infection.

There are some things that the Lord of Corruption did not lie to Ye He. He had indeed begun to nurture the Kingdom of God.

And before Ye He discovered his location, he had plenty of time to transport the contaminated water to the entire city.

By then... unless Ye He is willing to destroy Sedavier himself, it will be too late...

Ye He’s personal thoughts are no longer important.

But in a place no one expected, a boy no one expected, discovered the water problem for the first time.

Galileo was staring at the apple tree in front of him in amazement. He held a water pipe in his hand, and clear water that looked clean to the naked eye was gushing out of the pipe and irrigating the apple tree in front of him.

But the apples on this apple tree are falling one by one, along with countless yellow leaves. Before hitting the ground, the fruits and leaves have already decayed into black and gray rot.

Even the vines on the tree trunks quickly died, and the weeds at the foot of the trees had long since been irrigated by this "clean water" and turned into rotten, silted swamp along with the earth!

"Galileo! There's something wrong with the water!"

Erga's scream brought Galileo back to his senses, and the young man subconsciously threw the water pipe in his hand away as if he was holding a poisonous snake.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The water continued to flow out of the pipe. Galileo reacted in an instant, turned around and ran back to turn off the faucet at the end of the pipe.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Galileo, feeling sorry for his apple tree, looked at the apple tree in the distance with great pain. The tree was completely withering, the whole tree was beginning to rot, and large pieces of it were falling into the swamp on the ground.

The ground was stained with a charred corruption, and more apple trees around had been affected, with varying degrees of fruit and leaf drop beginning.

Galileo could see at a glance that these trees were also beyond saving.

The boy looked back at the faucet in indignation, and then traced the source of the pipe connected to the faucet, and finally saw a large pipe connecting the water plant to the city of Saidawell...

He remembered very clearly that since they were going to plant fruit trees to create an orchard, when he came here with other people to prepare for the reclamation, the Water Bureau of the City Hall sent workers to connect a special water pipe directly to the large water pipe coming out of the water plant for the orchard.

This is the one Galileo saw...

At that time, a worker jokingly said to them:
“Are you growing apples here? Your apples will definitely taste great because you can use cleaner and more stable water here than in the city!”

In the city...

"Galileo..."

The boy and the squirrel on his shoulder looked at each other fiercely.

Together they realized that there was something seriously wrong with the water coming out of the water plant, and what was even scarier was that the water went directly into the city!
Galileo might not be able to distinguish the divine pollution in clean water, but he was particularly clear that the water that fruit trees "drink" has lower requirements than the water that humans drink, and they can digest "wastewater" better!
Even fruit trees wither quickly under the water of this kind... If people drink it...

"No... No... No!"

The boy's body began to tremble with fear. He subconsciously picked up a small sickle for cutting weeds beside him and staggered towards the water pipe.

It was only a distance of ten meters, but the boy fell five times in succession. Because he was trying to disobey God's grace, Galileo not only got himself bruised and swollen, but also cut his fingers with the sickle.

But he completely ignored these obstacles. A pure, sincere, even primitive emotion was bursting with power in the boy's body, pushing him forward.

This feeling is called kindness.

Galileo didn't think too much about it, nor did he check the water plant's problems thoroughly.

He even forgot to tell Erga to inform Yehe, his biggest backer. He just walked to the water pipe alone, raised his sickle and chopped it down.

"when!"

The thick metal pipe immediately broke a hole in the blade of the sickle and also caused the boy's arm to ache.

But Galileo still raised his hand and chopped down, again and again, trying to break the pipe and stop the supply of "poisonous water" into the city.

"Dangdangdang..."

"Galileo..."

Erga, who had been left standing when Galileo fell for the first time, was stunned. He had never seen such a look in the boy's eyes.

He is focused, he tries his best, and he never looks back!
On the first day of the new year, outside the city where people gathered to celebrate the new year, in this unknown wilderness, a young man was desperately fighting for the safety of countless strangers he didn't even know!
Yes, desperately.

Or perhaps because of his disobedience to God's grace, the fragments that broke off the sickle were bouncing back onto Galileo.

They either scratched the boy's cheeks, which were very rough due to long-term farming and sun exposure, or penetrated his clothes and stabbed directly into his body.

Soon, when the boy had just cut a white mark on the water pipe, he had already turned into a "bloody man". But he still didn't dare to stop, and even used more and more force... more and more desperately!

Stunned, Erga could only watch Galileo struggle desperately. He couldn't even get close to the water pipe and was unable to provide any assistance to Galileo.

Finally, it remembered that it could call another powerful human to come and solve the problem.

But just as Erga was about to move to the city of Sedaver to inform Ye He...

Many figures who walked out of the city from the factory area and staggered towards this side immediately caught Erga's eyes.

[Lord of Corruption] When Galileo approached the water pipe, he realized that this human boy had suddenly become the only variable that he had not taken into account.

So He transferred several monster masters who were infected by His power from the factory area.

In His opinion, these monsters are enough to deal with this human being, protect the water pipes, and allow His "Kingdom of God on Earth Plan" to continue smoothly.

"Well……"

Ergar could tell at a glance that these monsters were "not easy to deal with". Many black puss were oozing out of their bodies, which were the [Seal of Corruption] that Katarina showed to Ye He.

These divine seals not only strengthened the power of these monster masters, but also maintained an extremely terrible polluting nature, which made Ergar, as a monster, extremely afraid.

But Erga turned around and looked at Galileo, whose eyes were determined and determined...

Every time the boy swung his sword, drops of blood would fly out, and the grass on the side of him was almost dyed red with his blood.

Such a young man made Erga's confidence once again. He turned around and rushed towards the polluted and controlled monsters without hesitation.

Its squirrel-like body began to expand rapidly as it ran, and soon turned into a dog-like giant beast that was three meters tall and more than ten meters long.

"Roar!"

The giant monster that was guarding the boy soon got into a crazy fight with a group of monster masters.

The monsters that the [Lord of Corruption] dispatched to protect the water pipes could not be weaklings. They had at least the strength of level six when they were alive.

After being strengthened by the [Seal of Corruption], these zombies that are not afraid of life or death can burst out with strength far beyond their lifetime, and can even use some of the abilities of monsters.

Erga could never be a match for these monster masters, but he was not stupid. He knew that he just had to wait until Galileo broke the water pipe.

But the monster masters' target was also Galileo, not it, so even though Erga cunningly used entanglement tactics, he often had to use his body to block long-range attacks for Galileo.

Its huge body was repeatedly injured as a result, and time and again, blood was splashed out, even more exaggerated than that of Galileo.

But the boy's will infected it. Even though he was hit by the attack and pieces of his flesh and blood quickly rotted in the pollution attached to the attack, Ergar did not let anyone get close to Galileo!
"Bah!"

Finally, Galileo broke a small hole in the thick water pipe, and a stream of water gushed out from the hole, hitting Galileo's shoulder.

The water in the pipe that supplies water to the entire city has extremely terrible water pressure, and this thin stream of water pierced Galileo's shoulder in the blink of an eye.

The intense pain made Galileo grimace in agony, but he still did not dare to stop, because he knew that this was far from enough!

He tried to raise his right hand again, only to find that his right hand had lost sensation because the tendon in his right shoulder had been punctured.

The power of divine grace was still pouring down on this mortal boy, but it didn't matter. Galileo changed his left hand, raised the serrated sickle, and chopped it down with all his strength once again.

"when!"

"Bah!!!!"

With a small opening made, Galileo's swings began to become effective.

Every time he chopped down, he could successfully expand the hole in the water pipe a little bit.

But at the same time, the water columns bursting out from the breach will be more and larger. When they hit Galileo, it is like thousands of blades cutting the boy's body, constantly digging out flesh and blood from him!

What's even more terrifying is that the divine light contained in the water has already poured over Galileo. A great, arrogant voice suddenly roared in Galileo's ears.

[Stop! Foolish mortal! Do you know what you are doing? You are obstructing the plan of a god! You are destroying the birth of my kingdom of God! ]

As the voice rang out, blood spurted out of Galileo's five senses simultaneously.

His eardrums were ruptured, his vocal cords were torn, his nasal cavity was shattered, his tongue turned into pulp, and his eyeballs suddenly exploded...

But Galileo's hand holding the sickle... never put it down.

[If you know you are wrong, then get out of here! You worthless insect! Rot in the dirt! ]

However, the gods did not intend to let Galileo go. The terrible power of [Corruption] erupted in all of Galileo's wounds, causing him to show signs of corruption all over his body, just like Ergar who was not far away.

"when!"

But the raised sickle continued to fall down unwaveringly, hitting the break in the water pipe accurately, causing the break to continue to expand and more water to gush out!

【you……】

[The Lord of Corruption] was furious. He had never imagined that such a mortal boy could resist the pollution of his oracle and divine power.

To shut up!

Galileo, who had almost lost all consciousness, raised his sickle again.

Whoever you are...you...killed my apple tree!
【What? 】

[Lord of Corruption] never expected that the reason that allowed this young man to persist to this point would be so insignificant.

But for Galileo, this was reason enough for him to fight to the death, to save everyone. Galileo never thought that he was just such a simple boy.

But precisely because of this, the name on his head would be tinged with golden glory, making the label of "Savior" deeply rooted behind the golden name of Galileo!
"when!"

The sickle fell again, with incomparable determination, countless times more determined than the long-cherished wish of a god!
【No!!!!!】

"boom!"

The breach in the water pipe could no longer hold out and collapsed.

The water from the water plant and the water that had already flowed into the city of Cedarville all rushed towards this low-lying breach.

The terrifying water column burst out wildly, blowing away the smiling boy holding a sickle.

At the same time, the remaining contaminated monsters suddenly fell down. It was the Lord of Corruption who saw the situation was not good and took back His power.

Ergar, who was almost completely "wrapped" by corrupt wounds, stood tall and declared his victory.

It lowered its head and used all its strength to gather a glimmer of vision with its only remaining eyeball. It saw Galileo, who was washed to its feet by the water and was still smiling...
