Becoming a god by raising witches

Locke said this, but he looked at the square with some worry, fearing that his former neighbors would be in dire straits.

Martin led Kay away from the square and onto the nearby clock tower.

He could see more clearly from the clock tower.

Locke followed, his task being to monitor Martin.

During the week he had been tracking Martin, Martin had not made contact with any members of the Knowledge Cult, so he had not obtained any useful intelligence, and his mission was not considered complete, so he could not return to report.

Finally, the protective barrier could no longer hold on and was charred black by the relentless attacks of the lightsaber before dissipating into the wind.

The phantom formed by light and shadow swung its sword again, but Nob Stout intervened in time, engaging in a fierce battle with it in the air.

Immediately, humanoid assassins formed from condensed light appeared from all directions.

Eight assassins charged toward the queen at the same time.

The speed of light is unstoppable.

Renis controlled the shadows of those around her, and the shadows instantly formed a towering circular wall that protected Katerina, Locke, and the others inside.

The assassins were blocked outside and launched another fierce attack.

Unfortunately, their shadows betrayed them as well.

"Keep alive."

Before the queen could speak, the eight assassins were simultaneously beheaded by the shadow.

His head tumbled to the ground.

Renis paused, then looked at Queen Katerina. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself. They actually tried to hurt you."

Katerina rubbed her temples. "It's alright, Renis, you've done very well."

She looked up at the sky, where Bishop Nob Stott was still battling with the blurry light and shadow.

But the blurry figure seemed to realize that all its companions had perished, and decisively chose to use light escape.

Bishop Norb Stott gave chase, but his speed was still far from that of light.

Just when everyone thought the assassination attempt had stopped, strange things happened on the ground again.

Locke frowned slightly. "There's more?"

If the previous group was arranged by Katerina, then the show should have been completed. Why is another group coming?

No, this is a real assassination attempt on Her Majesty the Queen!

Locke quickly realized what was happening, because even those members of the Alchemy Cult who had been watching the show without doing anything showed expressions of surprise.

This proves they knew Her Majesty's plans, and the current situation is beyond their expectations.

"Evacuate the civilians immediately, regardless of the consequences!"

Katerina did not want to lose too many of her people, especially since they were all soldiers who were about to go to the North to join the army.

The guards and sheriffs quickened their pace, but unfortunately, they were just ordinary people after all.

Renis used her shadow magic to control the shadows of some people, making them run with the shadows. These people were significantly faster than before, and they were all surprised to experience the feeling of extreme parkour. After running several kilometers out of the West District Plaza, they collapsed on the ground, too tired to breathe, and their legs felt like they didn't belong to them anymore.

Sieg used his vine sword to entangle a group of people, carrying them flying away. Their screams were no less than if they had seen a raging flood or experienced a cataclysmic event.

Robson is already building a secure passage to allow more people and guards to leave.

Angela, on the other hand, was greeted by swarms of butterflies, moths, and bees, who helped her carry away some people.

Dimo took out a wine bottle, from which a surging stream of water gushed out, sweeping away some people and collapsing the altar and other buildings, clearing the path ahead.

Locke also used the art of long hair to send off a wave of commoners.

Everyone used their unique abilities to help the crowd evacuate as much as possible.

With the investigators' assistance, the number of people in the square quickly decreased by two-thirds.

The alchemists of the Alchemy Church quickly created various metal lumps and threw them into the square. These metal lumps were similar to cargo robots, which would stuff civilians into their bellies and then start running wildly.

The number of people in this group eventually decreased from tens of thousands to a few hundred.

Moreover, the evacuation was completed in less than five minutes.

However, it will probably take the church a lot of time to brainwash these tens of thousands of people and make them forget the unusual events that happened today.

As Locke was pondering this, a crack suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

The cracks in the ground grew larger and larger, and countless tentacles extended from them.

Each tentacle has a blood-red eye.

All those eyes opened at the same time, looking at Katerina who was surrounded by the crowd.

'Katerina, I want you dead!'

This is the inner voice of the tentacle monster.

It seems to have lost its ability to speak, but it possesses a strong obsession.

Locke heard this, and he was certain that it was not Queen Katerina's doing.

'Oh no, it's an out-of-control witch! Why would she appear at a time like this?'

This was Katerina's inner thought; she seemed to recognize the other person.

Is this monster a result of a witch losing control?!

Locke stared in astonishment at the tentacle monster emerging from the earth. Its size had already covered the entire West District Plaza, and what was exposed was only the tip of the iceberg, with most of its body still hidden underground.

This terrifying monster was actually transformed from a witch who lost control!

Locke stared at it in disbelief.

It also seemed to have seen Locke.

'Who is this? Why does it look so delicious? Come, along with Katerina, become my food.'

What the hell!

Locke felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his mind.

Unexpectedly, this out-of-control witch is also affected by the [Witch's Temptation].

The tentacles instantly rushed towards Locke and Katerina.

Because the two are standing in the same direction, others will only assume that it is going to attack Her Majesty the Queen.

To save himself, Locke could only use his long hair to defend himself.

It looked as if Locke was standing in front of the Queen, trying his best to save Her Majesty.

However, his hair was no match for the tentacles of the tentacle monster.

He could only escape by cutting off his hair to avoid the tentacles.

At the same time, he pulled out two revolvers and fired demon hunter bullets at the tentacles.

Within 200 meters, the bullets were infallible, and the silver-tipped demon-hunting bullets were particularly effective against monsters, so the tentacles indeed retreated.

By this time, Renis had recovered slightly from the physical exertion of manipulating the shadows, and she began to try to control the monster's shadows.

The shadows of the tentacles entangled the tentacles themselves, rendering them unable to move.

The cardinals of the Alchemy Church have finally made their move.

Suddenly, 30 turrets full of mechanical beauty appeared in the sky.

Seeing this, the cardinal of the Church of Life quickly sowed a seed, which immediately took root, sprouted, and grew rapidly, lifting the Queen, Locke, and the others into the air. The vines quickly grew into a spherical shelter.

Through the gaps between the vines, everyone could see the scene outside.

The turrets simultaneously fired at the tentacle monster on the ground.

The rumbling sounds rose and fell.

After a barrage of fire, the giant tentacle monster was finally and completely destroyed.

'Katerina, I curse you! I curse you!'

Locke heard the dying words of the out-of-control witch, but he didn't know why she hated Katerina so much.

Seeing the power of the cardinal of the Alchemy Church, Locke felt both envious and worried.

If this guy finds out that there's an Infinite Serpent living inside his body, will he just bombard himself with 30 cannons?

Absolutely!

Damn it, is there any way to kill him first and avoid being overwhelmed by enemy fire later?

Locke rubbed his temples and glanced cautiously at the cardinal.

The cardinal also looked at Locke and nodded approvingly, praising his actions.

"Investigator, you have a bright future."

"Thank you."

Locke responded awkwardly.

Nob Stott first scattered purifying seeds, covering the ground with greenery to cleanse any remaining pollution, before releasing everyone back onto the lush green ground.
