Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 378 Airship

The body of the "loving mother" is as large as a mountain, but the airship above her head is like the entire sky.

Now, it's raining in this sky.

The colossal beast hovered directly above the Mother, hurling bombs at her like raindrops.

Each bomb that streaked through the air was accompanied by a piercing shriek and a deafening roar, etching the scene deeply into everyone's minds.

The once invincible "Mother" was now completely silent, its entire body enveloped in the flames from the explosion.

Having just devoured many people, He was at His strongest and had recovered from all His injuries, but it was of no use. The giant beast in the sky simply kept dropping bombs, pinning the evil god firmly to the ground.

The Guardians cheered, knowing what the arrival of the Sky-Beast signified; its ammunition capacity was enough to kill the Mother ten times over.

Blood Harbor was shrouded in a storm, and dark clouds obscured the sunlight, but now, a new sun is rising on the ground.

The explosion lit up a crimson light, illuminating half the sky and everyone's faces.

The Hong Kong Guard and the ordinary people of Blood Harbor were completely speechless at this moment. They were strong-willed people who had survived the previous round of tug-of-war, but their individual will seemed ridiculous in the face of this earth-shattering bombing.

This is the will of industry and science, the will of Castells.

At the pier.

This is the heart of the battlefield. During the battle with the Banshees, the buildings here were almost completely razed to the ground, and now, there are no docks left.

The terrain has been permanently altered, and the entire square has become a huge pit, with seawater slowly flowing in. It may become a new dock in the future.

The flesh and blood of the "Mother" were blown up everywhere. This time, no believers came to resurrect Him with their lives. In the end, He was blown into a lump of mud.

No one knows when the "Mother of Love" died. This enormous monster, the evil god that stirred up the entire Blood Harbor, did not even have its final curtain fall seen by anyone. Only the bombs that kept falling, like the scythe of death, slowly swept across the entire harbor.

After the airships shattered the "Mother," they continued bombing for a very long time until the entire dock area was engulfed in flames and the "Mother," which resembled a mountain of flesh, was blasted into a deep crater. Only then did the bombing gradually cease.

It gradually rose into the air and hovered there, its shadow covering a large part of Blood Harbor.

The airship was mainly operated by the banshees. Nini had previously used her mind link to communicate directly with the banshees on the airship and participated in the entire process, from the angle of entry to the calibration of the bombs.

It could be said that the succubi on the ground were merely there to attract attention; Nini's operation from the very beginning only targeted the airships as the main attacking force.

Before anyone knew it, people were surprised to find that the black threads on their bodies had disappeared. The dark cloud that had been hanging over everyone's hearts, the threads that had been like a noose around their necks, had all vanished.

There will be no next round. This rebellion of the Church of the Mother Goddess ended with the near annihilation of all the believers of the Mother Goddess. Although many mysteries remain unsolved and seven or eight out of ten of Blood Harbor were wiped out, at least they survived.

Most of the believers of the Church of the Mother of Life have perished, but a small number have survived. They were originally starving people, growing wildly like weeds. Even in Blood Harbor, which had been plowed several times, their traces could still be seen.

The believers gradually regained their senses and stared silently at the explosion on the distant dock, like solid stones on the ground.

The Hong Kong Guard and the Guardians of the Faith have taken control of these Mother Goddess believers. They offer no resistance whatsoever and simply allow themselves to be tied up.

The violent explosion brought with it a strong wind, disturbing the airflow and even gradually blowing away the dark clouds that had accumulated nearby, forcibly blasting a clear sky into the Blood Harbor.

The gloomy atmosphere vanished, and sunlight fell upon the ravaged land. The prince rose from the ruins, waved away Galahad's offer of help, dusted himself off, and looked around.

The Hong Kong Guard was reduced to about half its original strength; all its horses were lost, and most of its weapons were left in the ruins.

The entire Blood Harbor was reduced to ruins. The battle with the Mother was far too long, and the battlefield had spread across almost the entire city. Eighty percent of the buildings were destroyed, and several districts were completely flattened.

Most of the lower classes died in the rebellion, and those who survived walked numbly through the ruins. Almost everyone lost everything in the chaos.

The prince's lips were tightly pursed.

All the wealth and resources he had accumulated through long-term planning and even resorting to perverse means, and the order he had painstakingly established, were completely lost in this rebellion. Once again, he was left with nothing and had to start all over again.

He looked up at the colossal celestial beast in the sky for a very long time.

The secret retreat of the esoteric sect.

The believers looked fervent, their eyes filled with piety, and quite a few even surrounded Josh.
"High Priest, that, that is Castel's creation?"

"Nonsense! Those were clearly divine messengers from heaven, sent by me, Master Xu Si, to punish the evil gods!"

"That's true, Castel is the Count's divine kingdom!"

Some of the believers looked at Zoe, knowing that this young lady, like Josh, came from Castells.

“Miss Zoe, you know that those harbinger banshees and the messengers above all come from Castel, don’t you?”

They heard Nini and Mila talking just now.

Zoe's eye twitched, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"That's the Sky Veil Beast airship, it did indeed come from Castel, and the Banshee was indeed a resident of Castel. But I must clarify, Lord, Count Hughes, is definitely not a god, he himself has said so!"

There were some messy rumors circulating within the Defenders of the Faith, but Hughes suppressed them all; he had actually said those words.

"Quickly, write this down! Write it in the holy book later. The Lord said he is not a god!"

"Ok!"

"Wait, isn't the sacred text something that only the high priest can write?"

"Forget about the high priest or not. Josh is just a porridge cook, what does he know about sacred texts? Didn't you see the divine messengers flying in the sky? What explanation is needed!"

After the chaos, the refugees of the Secret Order became even more devout and began to sincerely recite the sacred texts. No matter how Zoe explained, it was no use. The giant beast hanging there was the best opportunity for proselytizing and debating, and no one could stop it.

As for Josh, he was already planning his escape route. Just thinking about how Hughes would react if he knew, he felt like he could run from Bloodharbor to the North in five minutes.

What he didn't know was that Hughes had been soaking in the sea not far away and had just set foot in Blood Harbor.
