Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 457 Mechanical Failure
"If you read that memory, you should know that this is a scam."

Duan Mingyuan defended himself.

This is a textbook example of a fraud. When you are walking on the street, an old man suddenly appears from nowhere and grabs your arm. In order to get rid of him, you swing your arm and he suffers a comminuted fracture.

"So, you admit that you broke the throne?"

The Dark Night Witch had a clear mind and was not confused by Duan Mingyuan's theory.

However, this was not for the purpose of seeking accountability, but to confirm her current situation. After Duan Mingyuan implicitly admitted it, she finally felt at peace.

Although she was prepared to sacrifice her soul for revenge, if there were other options, no one would choose to let their soul disappear.

But this is really unbelievable.

She could never have imagined that she would end up like this.

The will of the demon ancestor dissipated, and she got such a powerful energy.

The Night Witch could feel that her broken soul had been repaired, and she had established some deep connection with the Land of Eternal Night. This plane was like her building blocks, and the Void Demons had become toy soldiers sold in shopping malls. Now she could fiddle with these "toys" as she pleased. With just a command, the Void Demons would do anything for their master.

But at the same time, she also understood why Duan Mingyuan was confident in letting her go aboard.

While breaking free from the will of the Demon Ancestor, she also realized more clearly the power of this "human".

This "human" not only destroyed the throne, but also changed the rules for the operation of energy in the Land of Eternal Night. If they were regarded as enemies, she would have missed the last chance to defeat him.

This is probably...

The Sun King's coveted vessel.

"Blue Star is the last stop of the Sun King. What is His final fate?"

The Night Witch asked.

Duan Mingyuan's arrival means that the Sun King experiment was successful.

However, the Sun King failed to successfully seize the body of this "container".

“It has dissipated.”

Duan Mingyuan said.

The battle between the Sun King and the Demon Ancestor was eventually buried under the long river of time.

The Dark Night Witch had a different opinion on this. "Perhaps some important ceremony is still missing, such as ascending the throne and accepting the inheritance of His will."

In essence, both the Sun King and the Demon Ancestor chose the same way to continue their will.

After ascending the throne, the Night Witch was able to glimpse what was happening in the real plane, "but it seems that someone has tampered with the Sun King's wishes."

"tamper?"

"Someone has taken your place and sat on the Golden Throne."

There was a hint of gloating in the tone of the Dark Night Witch, "Perhaps this is why he had to trick you here... Chenxi also took advantage of the chaos to go to the Holy City. She found some interesting things in the Holy City Cathedral."

A secret room sealed by the energy of the scorching sun is located next to the golden throne.

What remains in the secret room is fundamentally different from the fate pronounced by the Pope.

"The Sun King mentioned your coming in the prophecy and gave his servants an order - when you return, they will escort you to the throne and welcome his return."

However, this part of the prophecy was removed by someone and sealed in that secret room forever.

The turmoil in the Holy City at the moment has revealed the identity of the culprit. "The agreement between us is still valid. I will let Chenxi build a teleportation array over there to help you return to the real plane. Your friends need your help now."

..............................

At the same time, in the interrogation room of the Holy Metropolis Cathedral.

"I have already stressed that the Pope set himself on fire!"

Facing the stern interrogator, the third prince emphasized again.

Not long ago, his negotiations with the Pope reached a dead end.

The Pope left him with only two options - pledge allegiance to the Church of the Embers, sign a pact with them, or be executed in secret.

In order to demonstrate his supreme power in front of the Third Prince, the Pope grasped the ruby-inlaid cane.

The body bathed in golden light seemed extremely sacred, but the next moment, the Pope let out a wail, and in the blink of an eye his entire body began to burn from the inside out.

When the Inquisitor heard the news and rushed over, the Pope and the Golden Throne were already stuck together. The Inquisitor who tried to get closer was instantly flung more than ten meters away by the golden light and looked seriously injured.

"I am not as powerful as they are. How can I possibly attack the Pope?"

As he spoke, the Third Prince showed the other party the empty mineral water bottle in his hand, "And you should have seen that I, like you, went to help put out the fire at the first opportunity."

He also paid a lot to rescue the Pope.

Despite the pain of dry mouth, he reluctantly poured a whole bottle of mineral water on the Pope, but the fire was too big and this action did not help the Pope escape from the fire.

The third prince could only express his sympathy and regret for the Pope, whose life or death was now uncertain.

"Then what does he mean?"

The Inquisitor glanced coldly at Coyote Twelve.

He did see the Third Prince trying to put out the fire, but he also noticed that when the scene became chaotic, this Bebop cowboy was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. His hearty laughter was in stark contrast to the chaotic situation.

Haha, you deserve it!
Everyone heard Coyote Twelve say this.

"Uh, um... cough."

Coyote Twelve's face tightened. "This is because my emotion controller suddenly had a problem. Friends who are familiar with me know that all my parts are quite old. Once there is a sudden change in temperature, many controllers will malfunction."

"Do you still want to quibble now?"

The Inquisitor strongly condemned Coyote Twelve's behavior of telling lies with open eyes.

"What do you mean? Discrimination against cyborgs?"

Coyote Twelve searched his arm for a long time and finally found a part that was blackened by the fire. "Look here, just now smoke went into my body through the radiator and interfered with the normal operation of my emotion controller."

However, the blackened part had nothing to do with the spontaneous combustion of the Pope, but was the mark left by the ignition device he often used to light cigars.

But so what?
This Inquisitor doesn't look like a mechanical expert.

"I think you should go help put out the fire instead of interrogating us here. Your companions haven't made any movement for a long time."

The third prince reminded, "When the Pope recovers, he will naturally tell you what happened in the basement just now."

The judge snorted coldly, agreeing with the third prince's suggestion.

He stood up and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he warned the two, "Before I come back, you must stay here and not leave at all."
