Su Mo said, "That's perfect. It's easier to fish in troubled waters. I estimate that before long, the capital will be in complete chaos, and then no one will care what we do."
"Besides... if those people recover, do you want to be the scapegoat again, young master?"
Upon hearing Su Mo's last words, a ruthless glint flashed in Tranton's eyes.
After returning to the capital, he acted according to Su Mo's ideas, and his brutal methods undoubtedly broke the unspoken rules that everyone was maintaining. Not to mention his enemies, even other nobles were quite dissatisfied with Tranton.
The phrase "the target of everyone's criticism" perfectly describes Tranton and the Worbus family.
Now that Henry XI has died suddenly, who knows if someone will directly pin the blame on Trandon and then take action against him under the banner of righteousness.
It wasn't just Grand Duke Lyle who wanted to get rid of the Worbus family.
“But even if we kill that Grand Duke, won’t we still attract attention and be made a scapegoat? Shouldn’t we consider the consequences?” Martin said.
Benson, after Arnold disappeared and Su Mo made up some random excuse, settled into a life of leisure in the Worbus family and didn't even want to get involved in such matters anymore.
“That’s right. But so what? By then, the revenge was already complete.” Su Mo turned to look at Martin and smiled.
Martin's expression suddenly froze.
Yes, by then, the revenge would be complete, and their souls would be devoured by the demons. What consequences would they need to consider?
Martin had forgotten the meaning of his life during this period of comfortable living, which was to seek revenge, fulfill the contract, and then end it all.
Martin finally understood why the demon in front of him acted so recklessly, even to the point of being insane. He would kill any enemy without hesitation, regardless of whether they had any connection to the island.
Because this was nothing short of a reckless madness, a final frenzy before death.
"He really is a demon," Martin murmured absentmindedly.
Su Mo had no interest in trying to comfort the child and simply turned and walked towards the door.
However, just as he reached the door, the ground suddenly shook.
Chapter 52 The Descent of the Angels
The tremor came very suddenly and was very violent.
Many of the decorations in the room fell down and hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Tranton and Martin also lost their balance and fell to the ground, while Sebastian immediately caught Charles in his arms.
As for the other demons, although the tremor made them unsteady, it didn't cause them to fall. After swaying a few times, they stabilized.
"What's going on?" Tranton asked. The sudden tremor and shaking reminded him of the time he spent adrift at sea, and his face turned deathly pale.
He clearly remembered that he had been vomiting for several days and almost died on the ship—both when going to the island and when returning to the British Empire.
"Looks like someone's even more anxious than us, and they've just gone ahead and done this..." Su Mo walked to the window, opened the wooden window, and looked into the distance, saying.
He was looking in the direction of the Grand Duke Lyle's estate.
In the distance, a huge, incredibly sharp black spike can be seen suddenly appearing in the middle of the houses.
The spikes look somewhat like the top of a tower, or a mast on a ship.
Judging from the destroyed houses near that giant spike, this thing must have emerged from underground, and the huge impact that shook the entire capital just now was undoubtedly caused by it.
At the very tip of these spikes was a ball of light, roughly the size of an ordinary person, radiating a blinding glow.
“That thing…” Su Mo turned his head.
Inside the room, all the demons, including Sebastian and the non-orthodox transmigrator demons, couldn't help but show expressions of disgust.
"Looks like there's no need to ask anymore, that orb of light is an angel." Su Mo finished his sentence himself.
Demons and angels are inherently opposed in many places, and this is also true in Sebastian's world.
Although they can both hide their scent from each other, once they reveal it so unreservedly as they did today, in Arnold's words, they can smell each other's "stench" from a great distance.
This stench isn't actually foul; it's an instinctive repulsion.
"So what is the purpose of that ball of light creating this thing?" Su Mo asked.
"I don't know." Sebastian shook his head.
"It's a pity we're out of bullets, otherwise I could have fired one and tried it out," Su Mo thought to himself.
The sniper rifle is out of ammo, and the other firearms don't have that much range.
Just as Su Mo was pondering what it would feel like to shoot an angel with a bullet, a faint, distant yet solemn song suddenly emanated from the sphere of light.
The song, as if emanating from heaven, echoed over the capital, giving one the feeling of a mother's hand gently caressing their face.
"It seems to have a calming effect," Su Mo said to Sebastian and the others.
Of course, to demons, such singing was hardly heavenly. To them, it was like a broken-voiced person singing passionately in their ear; the fact that they didn't immediately turn hostile was already a testament to their good manners.
As the song spread, the chaos that had resounded throughout the capital gradually subsided due to the sudden appearance of the spikes, and the surroundings began to quiet down.
"Citizens of the Empire..."
A grand, melodious, and solemn voice emanated from the sphere of light: "I am the messenger of the heavens, granting you salvation."
"I've never seen anything like this on Earth before." Su Mo looked at the sphere of light with great interest.
In the past, although Earth possessed supernatural powers, it had nothing to do with gods, demons, angels, or anything like that.
Su Mo did remember a guy who had a pair of pure white wings, but that guy wasn't an angel; instead, he liked to call himself a birdman.
"Your world is dying, you are falling step by step into an abyss of darkness..." As the angel's voice rang out, the light from the orb began to spread, forming an enormous projection above the capital city.
The projection looks like a continent.
If someone had a better memory and more knowledge, they could discover that this continent is the very continent where everyone currently lives.
In the capital, there are obviously many scholars with good memories and knowledge. A gasp came from somewhere, indicating that they had recognized the projection in the sky as the earth beneath their feet.
As you can see, the continent in the sky is sinking little by little, or rather, boundless darkness has appeared around the continent, gradually engulfing it.
"The sea, the sea controlled by demons, is devouring your only, last remaining home." A grand voice proclaimed, and the scene in the sky changed to a scene of raging waves destroying houses, swallowing people, forests, mountains, and everything else.
Exclamations of surprise echoed from all parts of the capital.
"Seriously, are you guys really that amazing?" Su Mo couldn't help but ask.
His response was a cold laugh from Sebastian.
"Why do you keep asking them? Aren't you a demon?" Tranton asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm special, one of those demons who have wandered off the streets. I don't know anything about the situation of ordinary demons," Su Mo casually made up.
"Do not be alarmed, my people."
The terrifying scene in the sky gradually disappeared, replaced by an enormous ship. "I will take you aboard Noah's Ark and save you from hell."
One by one, people lined up to board the enormous ship, which drifted on the sea, until they encountered a completely new continent. Humans disembarked, and cheers erupted from the crowd.
Moments later, cheers erupted from various parts of the capital, growing louder and louder until they nearly shook the entire city.
"This charlatan is quite something," Su Mo commented, noting that he had managed to bewitch so many people with just some holographic images and sounds.
This level of skill, if it were on Earth, well—it would definitely be banned as a cult.
"Before that, my people, follow my guidance, find the demons lurking in the capital, and tear them apart!" The voice, which had been solemn, suddenly became passionate.
Hundreds of streams of light shot out from the sphere of light and landed in various corners of the capital. Then, several beams of light, like guides, shone on five locations in the capital.
"Angel's Embryo, it seems there are more demons in the capital than just us." Su Mo took a step back to avoid being directly hit in the eyes by the beam of light.
The hundreds of streams of light that initially burst forth quickly disappeared after leaving the sphere of light, and Su Mo saw that their essence was the kind of embryo that could completely turn a person into a monster angel.
The beams of light behind them were for navigation, with one of them pointing directly to Worbus Manor.
The other four paths mean that there are four other places in the capital where demons also exist—if that big light bulb angel wasn't mistaken.
"This bastard is inciting everyone in the capital to turn against us!" Tranton roared.
“Yes, young master, if you don’t want to die, go hide in the basement.” Su Mo turned his head and said, “If you die, I will leave this world.”
"So you're worried about this issue instead of my safety?" Even knowing the situation was critical, Tranton couldn't help but retort.
“I am willing to stay and protect Young Master Tranton’s safety,” Seven Sins said tactfully.
"..."
Sebastian glanced at him speechlessly. Such a shameless demon was quite rare even in Hell.
"Then so be it, Demon Knights." Su Mo's tone suddenly changed.
"Sir!"
A deafening roar erupted from the mouths of the ten transmigrated demons.
"Let those fools see your terror. Let your enemies howl and scream in blood, and then die!"
"Your battlefield has begun!"
"kill!"
A murderous roar erupted from their mouths, and then, seemingly out of nowhere, they pulled out all sorts of guns and charged out.
The firearms Su Mo brought were just enough to arm these ten people.
As for accuracy, judging from the current situation, anyone who isn't blind can easily take out a large number of enemies by simply raising a gun and pulling the trigger.
As the beam of light shone, a number of people appeared outside the manor. Among them were a group of tall, muscular men with reddish skin who did not look like normal people.
These people had angelic embryos parasitizing their chests, and their faces wore fanatical smiles, but their eyes were murky and turbid. They were immersed in the sudden power and were completely unaware that they were no longer normal.
As time goes by, they will become like the people Su Mo initially encountered who were parasitized by the Angel Embryo, turning into monsters completely.
Behind these monsters were people dressed as guards, who were the nobles' guards and some of the royal palace guards.
The population of the Upper City was far smaller than that of other places, but a hundred or so people still gathered and began to storm the Worbus Manor.
The situation in the other four places is predictable.
However, while the other four locations have large populations, their fighting strength may not be as formidable. Those currently attacking Worbus Manor are no ordinary people—unfortunately, they've encountered no ordinary demons.
The ten demons, like hungry tigers charging into a flock of sheep, unleashed flames from their guns, instantly taking the lives of these people.
As for the dozen or so monsters parasitized by the Angel Embryo—Su Mo flicked his fingers twice, clenched his fist, and then withdrew them.
The shattered angel embryo and countless fragments fell to the ground, and the fleshy buds twitched a few times before turning into grayish-white powder.
