Me and countless me.

Chapter 502 Liquidation, Fifth Update (4kbps)
The fiery strike pierced through the evil monster instantly, passing right through its body, and a fiery sword aura tore everything on its body to shreds!
Mystery, magic—everything these mystical nobles were so proud of vanished under the raging flames!
Her beautiful body, elegant voice, and graceful demeanor vanished, transforming the once stunning woman back into the middle-aged woman she should have been.

The separated child and husband returned to their original state, no longer handsome, cute, intelligent, or majestic.

They collapsed to the ground, painfully feeling their empty and incredibly weak bodies, glaring resentfully in Li Ke's direction.

Li Ke did not burn them to death with flames, but he burned away their divinity, magic, and all their extraordinary qualities!
They have now become the most ordinary mortals, the mortals they regard as pigs and sheep!

"What have you done?!"

The woman rushed towards Li Ke frantically. Although her body was no longer as beautiful as before, it still made Edward and the slaves who rushed in swallow hard. But Li Ke slapped the woman across the face, and then, as she fell to the ground, kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying back to her husband's side.

However, Li Ke did not kill them directly, but instead looked at Edward.

“Tie them up, Edward, and while you’re at it, gather all the slaves and serfs here and have them tell you what this family has done.”

Edward was puzzled. He felt that even if Li Ke was killing and robbing nobles, there was no need for him to gather serfs. And what was with all this destruction? Could it really be caused by humans? And what was with that huge knight's armor? He thought he saw human fist marks on it.
So he couldn't help but ask.

"Captain, are you alright? And shouldn't we be looting first and then leaving?"

He was filled with doubt and confusion, while Li Ke pointed to the dungeon entrance not far away. He had already seen everything in the illusion, and now it was time to let these slaves see it.

“Go and take a look at their dungeons, Edward. After you see them, you’ll understand why I’m doing this.”

Hearing his words, Edward felt a little guilty, but he still led his crew toward the dungeon. However, the moment he opened the dungeon door and stepped inside, Edward wished he had never been inside!
This dungeon is full of humans, but none of them are complete humans!
Many slaves vomited upon seeing it, and even Edward felt dizzy. Especially after discovering several notebooks and books filled with writings and rituals, he felt his entire worldview crumble!
Because there are actually people who do what's written here!

Those cruel and inhumane things!

He couldn't even remember how he got out of the dungeon, but he was certain that the dungeon would be a nightmare for the rest of his life!
He looked at Li Ke with trembling eyes, clutching the magic books and notes in his hands, his voice filled with fear and disbelief.

"That's... black magic? Is all of this real?"

Li Ke nodded, then shook his head, pointing to the three people who had already been tied up.

"They prefer to call it mysticism, which is basically the mysticism that all nobles understand. It's about obtaining superhuman strength and abilities through certain rituals and the power of gods."

Edward fell silent. He had always thought that the nobles were just a bit greedy and depraved, and that the king, though greedy and incompetent, was still human after all.

The nobles were powerful and beautiful for a reason—it was their innate bloodline—but no one could have imagined that this would be the scene they were in.

In particular, when he flipped through the notebook printed with a strange three-faced god image, it clearly described how they tricked those British soldiers, put them in a bitter battle, extracted enough 'battle divinity', and used this battle divinity to enhance the bald nobleman's bed abilities.

This made him feel ridiculous, and he began to doubt whether his entire past life had been arranged by these nobles. He wondered if his colleagues who were unwilling to die, who believed until their deaths that they were fighting for the glory and future of Great Britain, were just there to add a few dozen seconds to these nobles' time in bed!

He gave a bitter laugh and threw the magic book and notes in his hand directly into the still raging flames, watching as the books and notes were quickly burned to ashes in Li Ke's flames.

Although he noticed that the books were burning at an unusual rate in the flames, he didn't care about that and instead looked at Li Ke.

What are we in their eyes?

Li Ke stood up from the stairs. Releasing these flames was exhausting for him, but in terms of effect, any mystery or magic would be burned away by these flames, and even so-called advancement rituals could be burned away directly. This was perfect for him to attack these mystical nobles.

Li Ke responded to Edward's question with disdain.

“Cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, but they’re not human… Go do what I tell you, Edward. It’s time to turn this area into ruins.”

As he spoke, he rubbed his face. He thought he could hold back, but he never expected that such a remote country nobleman could cause so much trouble. How did he manage to survive in London before?
Edward nodded silently. At this moment, he no longer thought about returning home in glory. All he wanted now was to kill these scum and their accomplices!
So he quickly led the slaves to arrest all the servants and guards, and under the fearful gazes of those slaves, drove them to the magnificent square in front of the manor.

At this moment, Li Ke and his men had also ransacked the manor, finding a great deal of treasure. So when the slaves arrived, all they saw were several erected gallows, bonfires, and chests upon chests of treasure.

When they saw that everyone had arrived, especially the usually high and mighty master and mistress kneeling in front of the gallows, the slaves were terrified. But Li Ke didn't care about that. He looked at the slaves and asked them a question.

"Slaves! Aren't you curious why your companions always disappear without a trace? Aren't you curious why the happiest families among you are always being tortured? I'll tell you! They were killed by these three insects in their quest for power!"

When Li Ke shouted these words, he did see hatred and suspicion in the eyes of these slaves. So he said nothing, reached out and pulled the noose, and neatly hoisted the family of three into the air, making them struggle painfully in the air!
To his disappointment, even after he hung the three men up, there was no resistance in the eyes of these serfs, only fear.

He suddenly lost his words, and just as he watched the three struggling men being hanged, he loosened the noose, pointed to the most terrified old slave, and spoke to this nobleman whose name he no longer knew.

"Make him tell you all the evil things you've done to him! Otherwise, I'll either hang you right now or throw you in front of a rutting stallion!"

The nobleman immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

"Don't even think about humiliating me! I am a nobleman! I will never bow down to a vile vermin like you! The honor of the Kolossova family will not be tarnished by me!"

Li Ke chuckled, then waved his hand. Edward, whose face was gloomy, immediately led over a horse, pinned the nobleman to the ground, and pulled down his trousers!
The stallion, having been given the drug, paced impatiently, its hot breath causing a look of horror to appear on the nobleman's face!

He certainly knew the consequences of doing so. In order to study the ritual, for their sacred cause, and to make these serfs know obedience, they had often used this method to punish disobedient serfs and those who didn't like them in front of the serfs!
So he knew very well that if he were really treated like that, all his internal organs would be shattered, and he would wail for three days and three nights before dying! But he gritted his teeth and remained silent, determined to endure it, because he wanted to uphold the honor of the nobility!

A bunch of insects who don't even know what mystery is are not worthy of making him bow down.

Li Ke smiled, then looked at the child who was still breathing heavily in pain, and the woman who was softly comforting her child, and spoke with a light laugh.

“How could I do something so cruel? After all… warhorses are very precious, and children’s bodies are more delicate than yours,”

The man's expression froze instantly, and the woman cried out in despair.

"Do as he says! You vermin! Trash! Tell me what we've done to you!"

After she spoke, the man blushed and uttered the same words.

"Speak! You beasts!!"

It's clear that they truly love their child, but the more they show this love, the more disgusted Li Ke becomes!

Because their love is built on the premise of sacrificing the lives of others! Even that child's maturity and filial piety are built on the torment of other humans and his peers!

Seeing the slaves cowering in fear, the nobleman almost broke down.

"Speak up! Do you want me to beat you up?!"

He spoke to the old farmer whom Li Ke had initially pointed at, and the old farmer was startled and instinctively tried to dodge, but his long-standing obedience still made him speak unconsciously.

"Yes, yes! Sir! You raped my daughter, and the young master even killed her and fed her to the dogs for fun..."

He spoke hesitantly for the first half of his sentence, but when he came to the second half, looking at the nobleman with the noose still around his neck, he seemed to wake up from a dream. His eyes turned red and tears streamed down his face, and his voice became hoarse, filled with hatred.

Then, Li Ke pointed to another man who was missing a finger.

"Next, you speak!"

The man paused for a moment, looked at the nobleman, and before the nobleman could utter a curse, he also showed an expression as if waking from a dream, and then shouted out.

"I only lent him ten silver coins! But when it came time to repay, he demanded one hundred gold coins! My whole family is exhausted here! My son..."

He couldn't continue speaking, and instead clutched his head in anguish, unable to comprehend how he had survived such a hellish environment and managed to eke out a living until now!

Li Ke pointed to another slave, and this time, without him or the nobleman having to speak, the slave spoke up!

"He had his guards break my father's leg, and then he demanded money from me! I couldn't pay, so my family was brought here as slaves!"

After he finished speaking, Li Ke pointed to the next one.

"my parents……"

One after another, each serf had an unspeakable, bitter past. The more they talked, the heavier the atmosphere became. Even the three nobles could no longer act arrogantly and maintain their so-called noble dignity.

They stared in horror at the silent crowd, a profound fear gripping their minds and bodies.

"They, they've all turned into monsters! Incomprehensible monsters!"

The noblewoman murmured to herself, and her husband wholeheartedly agreed with her, for these people had indeed become incomprehensible monsters!

"That guy is a devil! He's corrupted these people!"

He made his judgment, but the next moment, Li Ke turned around because he had heard enough of the tragedy and had identified most of the people. After dealing with this family and their lackeys, he still had to take them to the next manor.

So he reached out and pointed at the family that had already begun to feel fear!
“But now, your nightmares are about to die! But I don’t intend to do it myself. Come, my companions, you will kill them, and then—”

He smiled.

"—Let's go to the next one."

Then the nobleman saw countless serfs rushing towards them, and the last thing he saw was Li Ke's face with a cold smile. Amidst the screams of his wife and children, he cursed Li Ke.

"Monster!! You monster!!!"

But the next moment, his head was smashed flat by the first old farmer to step forward with a hoe!
