Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 402: Strength is Truth

"What do you think of wizards?"

This is undoubtedly a fatal question.

During the era when witch hunting was prevalent, countless people were asked the same question. They might be residents of other planets, members of certain relief organizations, or even believers of the Church of the Embers.

The questioner often smiles and appears friendly.

This is to induce people to tell the real answer in their hearts.

Often when these questions are asked, the questioner has already prepared torture instruments and cells for imprisoning the wizard's "accomplices". Once the respondent gives a neutral or sympathetic answer, these torture instruments and cells will come in handy.

Fuling also learned that the Inquisition was a product of the witch-hunting period, and its original slogan was to eradicate all evil.

It was the sun god who gave them the power of life and death.

And now, Duan Mingyuan is facing a life-threatening question.

"I have many disagreements with the martyr you mentioned. I don't think he is heroic."

Duan Mingyuan said bluntly, "He mentioned that he had executed more than 20 remnants of the Wizards' Association, but the facts proved that he had no awareness of defense against wizards' spells. This makes us wonder if the more than 20 remnants of the Wizards' Association he executed were just innocent people who were framed for crimes."

At least from the perspective of Duan Mingyuan, a pure passerby, the achievements put forward by the martyrs are very exaggerated.

"You think those people were wrongly accused."

The iron-blooded bishop's expression seemed more kind, even a little compassionate.

He had gotten the answer he wanted.

The person in front of me is just as hopeless as the rumors say.

He had said the same thing countless times. "In a war, there are no innocent people. Do you know what kind of people I hate more than wizards? Those foolish people who think they are kind but ignorantly help the devil. These people are only blinded by the emotions in front of them and have no idea what consequences their self-proclaimed kindness will lead to!"

"What consequences will this lead to?"

Duan Mingyuan interrupted the Iron-blooded Bishop's impassioned speech and asked.

Then, the atmosphere in the church fell into deathly silence again.

The Iron-blooded Bishop stared at him for a long while, unable to answer the question for a moment.

Usually when he was making an impassioned speech and convicting someone, the other party had no chance to ask him questions. Even if they were still able to speak, they would mostly beg for mercy.

Seeing that the Iron-blooded Bishop was speechless for a moment, Duan Mingyuan turned curiously to the believers holding weapons not far away and threw the same question to them, "What consequences did those fools eventually lead to?"

“Ah, um…”

The believers were also caught off guard by this sudden question. They hesitated for a long time before answering, "It's probably that their homes were occupied by demons, their people became the demons' playthings, and died tragically."

"Which planets are currently occupied by demons?"

This time, the believers looked at each other and could no longer answer.

Wizards are descendants of demons. Their power comes from the gifts of demons. They spread the teachings of demons in the world. For the believers of the Church of Ashes, this is common sense.

They never question the correctness of common sense, nor do they investigate which planets are occupied by demons.

However, it remains an unshakable fact that those who are bewitched by wizards will eventually become playthings of the devil!

"And you are those fools I mentioned!" The Iron-Blooded Bishop didn't want Duan Mingyuan to continue asking questions. He raised his scepter high and slammed it heavily on the ground.

The ruby ​​on the top of the scepter burst out with dazzling light, and in an instant, the church disappeared in a sea of ​​​​burning fire. Duan Mingyuan and Fuling seemed to be in a volcano. There was only a lonely rock under their feet, and under the rock was boiling magma. Countless chains emitting a burning breath blocked the entire space.

The Iron-Blooded Bishop was floating in the air not far away, his grey robe fluttering in the hot wind.

"The great Sun God never needs to explain anything to you, you just need to believe it!"

Believe in and listen to the will of the Sun God.

Doubt itself is a sin.

It is obvious that Duan Mingyuan is a person who has committed heinous crimes.

And now, he will fulfill his role as the presiding judge and judge the extremely evil person in front of him.

"This doesn't fit into our plan!"

Fuling said anxiously as she looked at the burning chains that were coming towards them like arrows, as if to nail them to the ground.

Their plan was to conduct a peaceful diplomacy. During the harmonious conversation, they suddenly discovered that the airship that was supposed to be sent here was hijacked by wizards, and then naturally pointed the finger at the escaped wizarding council.

But now the Iron-Blooded Bishop seemed to have completely lost interest in the escaping airship. Duan Mingyuan successfully made himself the target of public criticism through his suspicion just now.

Duan Mingyuan admired this burning and twisted space; the bishop's actions confirmed what he was thinking.

"Look, haven't you learned a lot from them?"

This was not a method used by the Ash Cultists, but rather the use of the inherent barrier that A Jing had mentioned. In fact, he had a sense of familiarity the first moment he saw the Iron-Blooded Bishop.

This just proves that the bishop learned a lot in the war on the Wizard Star, and even surpassed most wizards and created his own inherent barrier.

Before saying goodbye to Ajing, he asked a lot of information about the inherent barrier.

A Jing mentioned that the inherent barrier is often the standard to measure the strength of a witch, and there is only one way to break the inherent barrier - to suppress the opponent with a more powerful barrier.

In the blink of an eye, the hot chains were already in front of the two of them.

A smile finally appeared on the iron-blooded bishop's face.

He judged many people in the same way.

Not just wizards and witches, but also those who question his authority and challenge his decisions.

As the war came to an end, he gradually understood one thing.

——Power is truth.

He stared, not wanting to miss the moment when the two were incinerated.

What followed was a brief darkness, and in the darkness, he seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

When he came to his senses again, the bishop found that he had kneeled on the ground without knowing when. The authority in his hand fell to the ground, and several obvious cracks appeared on the bright ruby ​​on it. He subconsciously stretched out his hands, but the gem shattered in front of him.

"I also have a question for you, which is why I came here. You have always believed that wizards are descendants of demons...but why do you never hunt real demons?"

Duan Mingyuan asked, "Where exactly does the demon you're talking about live? Since you believe so strongly in the existence of demons, I hope you can help me introduce them to one."
