"nineteen......"

Seeing Lin Hui begin the countdown, Septien Horn swallowed hard; he knew Lin Hui's ruthlessness better than anyone else.

After the Horn family's incident, he was implicated and left the Starshield City Inquisition, returning to Ironspine City.

Through his investigation, he discovered that his foolish younger brother had offended Lin Hui at the Dragon Tavern and died mysteriously, while his father was also imprisoned in the Ironspine City Star Shield Army prison because of Lin Hui.

Septien Horn himself was a level 6 psionicist. He realized that Lin Hui was no match for him, and with nowhere else to turn, he voluntarily joined the Mechanicus.

Bishop Dominic promised him that if he could complete the task, he would send someone to replicate his father's consciousness and transform him into a robot.

So, while he was infiltrating Ironspine City, he harvested human souls for the Cult of Mechanics while plotting and kidnapping Eileen.

However, Septien Horn did not expect that his plan would attract Lin Hui as soon as it began.

Although the process was different from what I had imagined, the mission progressed in a different way.

It's safe to say the plan was a great success!

Thinking of this, Septien Horn took out a dark blue metal ring from his pocket and said without hesitation, "I will contact Lord Dominic immediately."

The communication rings made by the Mechanical Eldar are all bound to the user; only the user can use them. If someone else wants to use them, they must be modified by a Mechanical Eldar technician.

Septien Horn pressed the ring switch.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a soft, high-frequency buzzing sound, an interwoven beam of light was projected from the ring, quickly outlining a tall holographic projection in mid-air.

The holographic projection, dressed in a deep rusty red robe and tall in stature, was none other than Bishop Dominic, who had become a robot!

Septien Horn said respectfully, "Lord Dominic, I have completed my mission."

In the holographic projection, Dominic's gaze swept around and landed on Lin Hui. His red eyes flashed slightly. "Septian, you're quite good. You found Lord Lin Hui so quickly."

Upon seeing Dominic, Miran's body trembled violently, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"Do, Min, Ni, Ke..."

Dominic's gaze fell on Miran, and he slowly spoke, "Miran, my devout child..."

Miran could no longer contain her emotions and questioned sharply:

"Why?! Why did you betray the God Emperor?! Why did you betray Starshine City?! Why did you cruelly murder the Sister!!!"

Faced with Miran's heart-wrenching questioning, Dominic slightly turned his electronic eyes and sighed:

"I don't blame you for speaking to me in that tone. Because of your stupidity and recklessness, my infiltration plan failed, forcing the Mechanicus to be exposed to Elendina and those short-sighted people prematurely."

"You want to know the reason? Okay, I'll tell you the truth today."

Dominic said slowly:

"The truth is that the being we pray to day and night is no longer the god-emperor who protects humanity! His soul has been corrupted by the evil god of the Kreece system. He is now a complete monster! He is the coordinate and medium through which the Kreece gods descend upon our world!"

Upon hearing this, both Miran and Lu Ge and Chu Ling, who were standing to the side, suddenly narrowed their eyes.

Dominic paused, then continued:

"Once the time is right, the evil god will descend through His body! At that time, the entire Torres Empire, the entire planet, and all living beings will be destroyed!"

"In other words, the God-Emperor we worship is the very source of the empire's downfall!"

"And everything we, the Cult of Mechanics, are doing is truly saving the people of this land! Only by discarding this fragile flesh and blood and achieving mechanical immortality can we survive the impending catastrophe!"

"The reason you think I'm wrong, that you think I'm a traitor, is because you don't know the truth. I don't blame you!! Now that you know the truth, I'm willing to give you a chance to join the Cult of Machines."

Miran, her eyes red-rimmed, retorted hysterically:

"You're lying!! If you truly want to save your people?! What about the millions of civilians slaughtered by the Mechanical Eldar in Starshine City?! You sent them to hell with your own hands!"

"Just a necessary sacrifice."

Dominic shook his head slightly. "I've said it before, the souls and flesh of those millions of people were meant to provide the energy for the great overlord Sauron's resurrection."

"The Kreece demigod is about to descend, and the Empire's pitiful fleet and mechs are utterly vulnerable! Now, the only thing that can stop this is to fully resurrect the Mech Eldar overlord Sauron!"

"Besides, isn't it good to become robots? We can all achieve immortality together! Without that pathetic soul, without the shackles of flesh and blood, and no longer being able to serve as a coordinate for the Cretans, what a perfect evolution this is!"

"You're insane...you're completely insane..." Miran said, her eyes filled with rage.

Dominic shrugged and said, "I understand if you can't accept it at first. If I'm absolutely not lying to you, you can also ask Lanwei. As a high-ranking official in the Empire, she definitely knows the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Miran, Lu Ge, Chu Ling, and the others suddenly looked at Lan Wei.

Lanwei sighed and said, "According to the intelligence we have, His Majesty the God Emperor is indeed in trouble. But I still believe in him..."

After saying that, she stared intently at Dominic and said coldly:

"With a casual remark about 'necessary sacrifice,' you can justify the deaths of millions of innocent people. Dominic, what right do you have to choose death for them?"

Dominic gave a disdainful sneer:

"When the great calamity comes, they are all going to die anyway. Now, I use their souls to resurrect the overlord, and their deaths are given a more sublime meaning."

"Meaning my ass!!"

Lu Ge, who was standing to the side, couldn't listen anymore.

His eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at the projection and began to curse:

"You filthy old dog! Since you think dying is so meaningful, why the hell don't you cut yourself up and offer yourself as a sacrifice to your iron-willed master?!"

Faced with Lu Ge's vulgar insults, Dominic's mechanical eye merely flickered slightly.

He disdained to argue with Lu Ge.

Because it's pointless!

Dominic slowly shifted his gaze, finally fixing it on Lin Hui.

Dominic went straight to the point, "Lord Lin Hui, you're a player; we don't need to get bogged down in the God Emperor issue. You've been searching for the Mechanical Heart, haven't you?"

Lin Hui looked at him and said calmly, "Continue..."

Dominic glanced at Lan Wei, then turned back to Lin Hui, and slowly said, "I want to make a deal with you. But the details of the deal are best kept to yourself."
