High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

However, the words were cut short.

Hessing slowly released the Holy Light Spear in his hand, and the divine armor covering his body had completely disappeared.

When the golden divine power dissipated, all of Haisin's divine equipment turned into countless tiny specks of light, dissipating in the sea breeze.

In the blink of an eye, he removed all his armor.

All that remained was an atmosphere of calm to the point of composure.

A few suppressed gasps rippled through the rebel ranks. Some instinctively took a step forward, then abruptly stopped. The defenders on the fortress walls exchanged bewildered glances.

No one expected that Hesing, who had already gained the upper hand in the battle, would suddenly cripple himself, disarming all the gods and exposing his fatal weakness to Lina's spear.

Even Chen Feng looked at Haising with some surprise.

The goddess Lina's pupils shrank sharply, and her grip on the spear tightened suddenly.

"What do you mean by this?" Her voice was cold, but the tip of her gun began to rise, pointing at Hessing's heart. She paused slightly. "Disarming you, do you think you can win against me in this state?"

Hessing raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Lina's face, his voice low and calm: "I never intended to humiliate you, nor did I ever intend to fight you."

Lina frowned at this flippant remark.

However, she quickly flicked her wrist, and the Holy Radiance Spear once again shone with a dazzling silver light.

"Hassing, you colluded with foreign tribes and betrayed the gods, and now you're pretending to be a good person in front of me? Do you think I'm a fool?!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already lunged forward, and the Holy Radiance Spear, imbued with fierce divine power, pierced straight towards Haixin's heart. Its speed and force were exactly the same as her previous killing move.

Zheng—

The sharp tip of the gun pierced through the fabric in an instant and pressed against Hessing's chest.

The blazing holy light scorched the fabric of Haisin's body, quickly turning it black, and pale golden divine blood slowly seeped out from the tip of the spear, staining his clothes.

If Lina had pushed forward just half an inch, she could have pierced Hessin's core and taken his life on the spot.

However, from beginning to end, Helsing simply stood still.

He didn't dodge, didn't block, and didn't even blink.

"Are you crazy?"

Lina stared intently into Hessing's eyes, her icy blue pupils churning with shock, anger, astonishment, and a hint of panic that she herself was unwilling to admit.

She instinctively tried to pull the gun away, but the force in her fingertips seemed to be nailed down, and she refused to let go of the spear in her hand.

"Why didn't you dodge?"

Only then did Hessing, who had been facing death with his eyes closed, open them and calmly look at Lina.

"This is what I owe you... Without your help, I wouldn't be alive today, would I?"

Hessing's voice was soft, yet it traveled clearly on the sea breeze into Lina's ears.

"Back then in the Haitian royal palace, you brought me into Augustus's army and secured my career with your divine status. However, I betrayed my initial vow to you because of my own thoughts. So this is what I owe you, and what I should repay you."

Upon hearing this, Lina's knuckles gripping the gun began to turn white, and the tip of the gun trembled slightly.

These things are so distant, so distant that she almost thought she had forgotten them.

However, when Helsing calmly recounted these events, it reminded her of that blond boy from back then—taciturn, reckless when practicing with a gun, always following behind her, calling her "Captain Lina" over and over again.

"I promised you I would defend the seas with you, that I would accumulate enough military merits, and that we would both rise to the rank of legion commander." Haisin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness. "But I broke my promise... Lina, can you forgive me?"

"What's the point of saying all this now!" Lina abruptly interrupted him, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly. "Since you left, why did you come back? Why are you still standing against Augustus?"

"I am not on the opposite side of Augustus." Hessing shook his head. "The people of the sea plane should not be slaves of the land of Augustus. You and I both know that the Augustan gods have now become predators who conquer everywhere. We have enough planes and enough territory, yet we can never satisfy our ever-expanding ambitions. Is this what the Augustan gods originally intended?"

Lina's eyes began to flicker.

"The fate of the Augustus family should not be determined by us..."

"Lina, I know I owe you, and an apology can't make up for it." Hessing lowered his eyes slightly. "But I'm not here today to breach the fortress, nor to be your enemy... I want you to see the horizon I envision, I want you to see the true vision of this world..."

At this point, Lina finally looked into Hessing's eyes.

At this moment, Hessing's gaze was firm and bright.

Just like that boy who watched the gods train back then, his eyes shining.

"I want Haiti to have its own parliament, where mortals, gods, and hybrids can all participate. Together, we can establish laws and rules, and protect this land... The gods will no longer be the supreme rulers, and the Haitian people will no longer be slaves..."

Hessing gazed into the distance, as if he could already see that scene.

"No wars, no slavery, no lofty gods and lowly mortals, everyone works at sunrise and rests at sunset, children can grow up safely on this land, and the elderly can live out their days in peace... Lina, this is what the world should be like when the Holy Light exists... He was originally meant to be the light shining on mortals!"

Hessing's gaze returned to Lina's eyes.

His eyes, however, were gentle yet solemn.

The sea breeze, carrying the smoke and fire from distant battles, lifted Lina's high, silvery ponytail.

Although the spear she held remained pressed against Hessing's heart, it could not penetrate even an inch further.

At this moment, the anger in her icy blue eyes was gradually dissipating, replaced by a surging mix of emotions—hatred, resentment, and shock.

There was also a hint of wavering in Xinyang that even she was unwilling to admit.

Finally, the divine armor on Lina's body began to dissipate completely, turning into golden light and revealing her originally fragile mortal body to Haising.

......

Chen Feng looked at the two locked in a stalemate and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.

He took a sip of milk tea and slowly swirled the cup.

"Looks like we don't need to add any buffs."

Chen Feng muttered to himself, but his fingertip lightly tapped the system panel, directly putting away the Lucky Contract System.

"Playing the emotional card works better than relying on luck..."
