Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 341 Miss Ai, the World Destroyer
Han Su had felt the special nature of the emperor's power more than once. Whether it was the fishermen's chants, the emperor's book, or the emperor's characters combined with his own golden cells, they would all show an arrogant air of high status when they encountered other anomalies.

However, this arrogance was neither sustained nor consistent, so Han Su was unable to develop a unified and specific operational style.

At this moment, when he faced the corpse, he felt that extremely unique resonance characteristic.

It wasn't like the fishermen's chants, which tried to seize a high position of consciousness, nor was it like the emperor's writings, which passively endured contamination. This time, what he felt was that mysterious power had truly come alive, and was confidently invading other abnormal forces at their source.

And the reason...

Han Su instantly thought of the failed ceremony that was taking place before the castle collapsed.

Before being stopped by the eccentric doctor on the other end of the phone, the old butler had already recited the words "record" five times in a row.

Although the ceremony was later interrupted, those five records seem to have been preserved.

'So, my control over this corpse is now related to those records?'

Han Su clearly sensed the logical connection and subtle resonance, and some ideas arose in his mind. However, he still needed to continue investigating and verifying them.

"how is this possible?"

When Han Su awakened the corpse, everyone in the church was terrified.

The three chief priests behind the second-floor railing were so frightened that they dropped their teacups. They stood up abruptly, trembling, but dared not make a loud noise.

Outside the door, the team members, now free from the spell's control, rushed into the church. They gasped in shock and, without a second thought, knelt down in a flurry, even throwing the paralyzed man they had been carrying on a stretcher to the ground.

The one who was most terrified was, of course, the young acolyte.

He had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost, and he was completely lost.

No, I just picked a weakling and engaged in a common internal power struggle and framing with him!

This guy I framed either died at the hands of the enemy, or ran back and was shot by me, or he was unwilling to be shot and drew his gun to shoot me, or even that he was more capable than I thought, and that he endured and hid, and returned as a king to seek revenge after three years, all of that is understandable. But what kind of operation is it that he went straight into the church and awakened the Lord of Rest?
This is completely unreasonable...

"you you……"

The priest tried to ask questions, but couldn't get a single complete sentence out.

They were just as bewildered, and because the scene before them was so absurd, they couldn't even comprehend it.

"I have said it before, I am already a chosen one of God!"

While Han Su quickly thought it over, he also spoke in a low voice, giving them the most reasonable explanation possible.

Although, in terms of nature, I am more like a god-favored one than a god-favored one!
As he spoke, he frowned, gently grabbed at the corpse as if grasping something invisible, and then gently let go.

Instantly, a series of cracking sounds echoed throughout the church, and a strange force rebounded into the bodies of the three high priests and the young acolyte.

Then Han Su turned and glanced at them, ordering, "Take them down!"

"Shh!"

The team members who were kneeling on the ground, looking at them with admiration, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the second floor.

The three chief priests and the young assistant priest on the second floor were unaware of what had happened. Their instinct was to resist, but as soon as they made their move, they suddenly realized that the mysterious power in their bodies had completely disappeared, and they had become ordinary people.

Their power all came from that corpse. Han Su invaded the corpse, which meant he had control of their source.

Thus, without even forming an effective confrontation, the team members had already pinned them down in front of Han Su.

"Bah!"

Han Su drew a gun from one of his team members' waists and shot the young assistant priest dead. Then, he looked at the three high priests kneeling on the ground and spoke softly:
“I have received divine favor, so from now on I appoint myself as the High Priest, overseeing all affairs of the Southwest Diocese of the Parthian Church, and also having the authority to access all materials of the Parthian Church and mobilize all believers.”

"Are you convinced or not?"

"..."

No one objected; the three high priests were caught off guard and didn't know how to respond.

Han Su then asked, "Now tell me, what is your real purpose in starting this war?"

The three high priests looked at each other, and for a moment no one answered.

Han Su didn't give them much time. He directly placed his hand on the forehead of one of them and began to chant softly:
"All things respond to my will!"

In an instant, spiritual power seeped into the other party's brain, forcibly linking to its mental model, stirring up endless storms.

Memory search!

For Han Su now, this is just a minor trick.

The result he found surprised him: he received a signal from a mysterious will, welcoming the River of Corpses into reality and reversing the situation of the local war.

……

Han Su was somewhat familiar with the name "Corpse River." He had heard the old steward mention it in the castle, and it seemed to be one of the ten great calamities.

As of now, the ten major disasters I am aware of are only the Mother Tree, the Goddess of Beauty, the River of Corpses, and the Fallen Rain.

However, human civilization has always been on high alert against these disasters that could potentially threaten the defenses of reality. Not to mention ancient nobles and major cities, even mysterious organizations are often deeply wary of them.

Now, how come we've started openly bringing these disasters into reality?
After releasing the high priest whose memories he had been searching, Han Su grabbed a second one, and the more answers he found, the more astonished he became.

As high-ranking figures in the Church of the Repose, the three of them already knew a great deal of information, and each piece of information was frightening enough.

For example, in the Eastern Continent, the mother tree of the Insect Island has been activated and has spread to one-third of the continent.

Meanwhile, in the Western Continent, the Lost Rain has been falling for three months, and rivers capable of washing away memories have already appeared in reality.

In the Southern Continent, a goddess of beauty appeared, and in just ten years, she developed the Worship of Beauty Cult, which has hundreds of millions of followers, and is now fighting against the Queen Organization.

Of the ten major disasters, four have already occurred.

"Are they all from the records that the old butler mentioned back in the castle?"

Han Su opened his eyes, his expression quite strange.

The occurrence of these disasters is terrifying to contemplate.

Not to mention why the Guardians of the World and the major cities, who were originally on high alert against these disasters, allowed them to occur, the key point is that all of these disasters were mentioned in the "records" made by the old steward during those interrupted rituals!

Could it be that the four kinds of disasters currently active in the world today also originate from the five records recited by the old butler?

But how did the causal relationship come about?
For a moment, Han Su did not get an answer, and he was indeed somewhat shocked, but not to the point of panic.

Previously, at Rong Qiyue's place, he had already opened the briefcase and seen the mechanical fragments inside, with the countdown still on them.

The displayed number is seven, meaning the blinking mechanism is still in place.

Seven days later, I will return to the castle and have the opportunity to solve the problem at its source.

However, before he could return to the source by flashing, he needed to figure out the logic behind so many terrifying phenomena.

"Find all the information about wars, disasters, and the Qinggang bombing that have occurred around the world."

After releasing the three chief priests, Han Su spoke coldly and turned to go upstairs.

Although he had searched the memories of these three high priests, their lives were not threatened, nor were their sanity destroyed. They could still continue to work. Of course, he left each of them with a mental bullet to prevent them from having any wicked thoughts while doing their work.

Of course, there's no other way, since these loyal teammates are a bit dim-witted and not very useful.

"Yes Yes……"

The three chief priests felt their clothes soaked with cold sweat at Han Su's instructions, but they didn't utter a single complaint.

After Han Su went upstairs, he quietly pondered and sorted through the information he had obtained. However, the information he had obtained was still too one-sided. Although he was certain that the chaos in this world was related to the ancient castle, he still could not deduce a more specific reason.

At that moment, his spiritual power suddenly stirred slightly.

Immediately afterwards, as if by a faulty electromagnetic signal, Wei Lan's voice rang out in his own mental world.

Calculating the time, a full six hours had passed since he arrived at this point in his life. In the past, Wei Lan would contact him immediately, but this time, it was delayed so long, and his voice was intermittent.

"Feel sorry!"

"I only managed to contact you now..."

“This time, the world changed so much. I… did not become the empress, but became a maidservant by the empress’s side.”

“My consciousness has arrived at this life line, retaining the life level of the previous life line, but it only has the level without any mystical power. Therefore, I need to find an opportunity to secretly access the mental amplification device in order to achieve a dialogue with you…”

"The massive explosion in Qinggang wiped the city off the map, and changed the fate of everyone involved..."

"..."

"The Qinggang Explosion..."

Hearing Wei Lan's voice, Han Su's heart stirred slightly, and he quickly whispered, "Do you know the specific reason?"

"No...don't know!"

Wei Lan's communication was far less effective than before, with pauses and slowness: "But I, in my memory, personally experienced the Big Bang."

"That was an impact that started in the southwest corner of Qinggang. There were no fires, only a twisting force that instantly destroyed almost all the buildings in the city. I remember that some mysterious forces sealed off Qinggang City, and they haven't released it yet..."

"Then, where are they?"

Han Su's breath hitched slightly as he listened to her description.

The southwest corner of Qinggang seems to be the area where the ancient castle once stood, now an abandoned factory area.

In other words, the connection between the Qinggang explosion and the castle is almost certain.

"People don't know..."

Wei Lan replied in a low voice, "There were still some survivors after that huge explosion, but they have all been scattered in all directions. Most importantly, I no longer have the Empress's power, so I can't contact them like before."

"Although I have their individual mental coordinates, all I can do now is send each of them a message to draw them closer to you."

"..."

It was clear that Wei Lan's voice was somewhat urgent; she seemed worried that the communication might be interrupted, preventing the information from being delivered to Han Su in time.

"I don't know the cause of the explosion, but my organization, the Queen, is joining forces with the Guardians of the World to fight against the chaos of this world. The information I just discovered is terrifying and must be passed on to you as soon as possible..."

"The Qinggang explosion led to a crazy mechanical escape!"

"She is the Mother of Machines, codenamed Miss Ai!"

"Now, it is this machine that has brought various mysterious natural disasters into reality, intending to destroy this generation of civilization..."

"..."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Han Su suddenly sat up straight: "Miss Ai?"

In the previous life storyline, he learned about the other side of the Machine Mother from Xu Ji's father, but he didn't expect it to be verified so quickly.

Destroyer Angels are terrifying machines whose mission is to destroy civilizations one by one.

Could it be that the collapse of the castle triggered a massive explosion in Qinggang City, which inadvertently freed Miss Ai, causing her to reveal her most terrifying side?
"she……"

Han Su asked anxiously, "Where is she now?"

I had planned to have a conversation with Miss Ai on this branch of my life. Now that the explosion has freed her, can I have a conversation with her too?
But does she, on this life's journey, still remember herself in Qinggang on life's journey number 01?

"I don't know. The terrifying thing about this machine is that once it's released, it can disappear completely from this world. It can have countless clones to carry out its will..."

Wei Lan hurriedly replied, "One of the most important tasks of the Guardians of the World and the Empress Organization is to find her."

"But this mission has made no progress so far. All we know is that the ancient nobles behind the Guardian have revealed themselves and are preparing a rather extreme plan to force her out..."

"us……"

"..."

"Ancient nobles?"

Hearing this, Han Su felt somewhat relieved and reassured Wei Lan: "Don't worry, for us, everything we see now is just a possibility for the future, and there is still a chance to start over."

"The only thing I need to ascertain now is the relationship between the Emperor, the Twelve Anomalies, and those knights from the past..."

"When you send messages to other people, there's no need to rush them to come and meet me. Right now, the most important thing is to find the fourth mechanical fragment and continue the hunt for those knights!"

"..."

"it is good."

Wei Lan agreed, and her voice slowly faded away.

Han Su sat on the second floor for a long time. He had already obtained some answers through the mysterious ritual and the golden spear that invaded the castle.

The so-called divine intervention plan may only have a surface, with the ultimate target being the emperor.

This plan was naturally spearheaded by his father, and also involved the knights' descendants and even the knights themselves.

He had very little information, but he was certain that all of this was being carried out against him, the Xu Ji family, and the “emperor’s bloodline” scattered around the world. So, even though there were still many things he didn’t understand, the path was clear.

That was Ms. Shen's advice to herself: Hunt the nobles and collect all the mechanical fragments!
No matter what those people are plotting or calculating, the emperor is the absolute core. As long as you can grasp everything related to the emperor, you can take the initiative!

Given the current state of global chaos in this life story, speaking with Miss Ai is certainly a very important matter.

But nothing could slow down his pursuit of the mechanical fragments, nor could it affect his hunt for nobles.

In fact, we'll take advantage of the global chaos to accomplish even more goals!
"The great... the great officiant..."

Just as Han Su finished the conversation and finalized his mission, he heard a somewhat panicked shout. He opened his eyes and saw one of the three high priests.

He was clearly still a little unaccustomed to addressing the young man who had seized power before him. After pausing for a moment, he said urgently, "The counterattack from Zero City has begun..."

Han Su asked in surprise: "Counterattack?"

"Yes……"

The high priest composed himself before hurriedly taking out an electronic device and showing it to Han Su: "The mission you carried out before, we...we didn't think it would succeed. It was just to distract Zero City."

"So, while you were on your mission, we also sent a team to attack the Barrier Altar that Zero City had occupied, but unexpectedly..."

"Unexpectedly, Zero City deployed their secret weapon and ruined our plan."

"And now, she...she's coming this way..."

"..."

"Secret weapon?"

This title made Han Su pause slightly, and he stared intently at the screen.

It was an armed force of several hundred men facing the figure of a thin woman wearing a hoodie with her hands in her pockets.

With just one glance, Han Su's heart trembled slightly, and he stood up.

He stared at the girl on the screen, at the half of her face peeking out from under her hood, at how she faced hundreds of armed men and a hail of bullets, and with a mere flick of her wrist, she sent countless wooden puppets raining down from the sky, including the desperate soldiers.

The outline, the eyes, and even the wooden puppets crawling all over the place, making squeaking noises, all gave Han Su a strong sense of familiarity.

That's right...

Li Manman, now grown up, is also in this war, and occupies a very important position.

The person I was trying to find suddenly appeared before me, so the children inside the castle had indeed all come out.
