Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

……

At this point, the Skull and Bones Society was in complete chaos.

Because that Hossman didn't come back.

The Skull and Bones Society has a secret method that allows them to know the approximate status of its members, whether they are dead or alive, controlled or otherwise.

The last one captured by Sandru was already pieced together into a rag doll in Zhao Hao's dream, and his condition here is completely incomprehensible. We still don't know if he's dead or alive—we've never seen him before.

Hossman, who was captured by the Endermen, was truly dead. His soul was annihilated, and even necromancy couldn't retrieve it; no one knows what he went through.

However, after a meeting that night, the Skull and Bones Society decided to consider the plan as already exposed.

Then we must speed things up!

So, without being fully prepared, a batch was branded first.

They were worried that if the plan were leaked and the remaining saviors came to their attention, things would get complicated.

At this moment, Zhao Hao was carefully removing the pollution that the bat-winged giant lizard had caused to the marine environment and the psionic sea.

The danger of this stuff lies in its polluting properties.

He was merely asleep, yet He was able to allow countless highly inspired individuals to access His will, spreading Himself like spores.

If those pollutants in the psionic sea cannot be found and removed in time, they will reappear sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the Papacy, far away in Europe, suddenly made a major move.

It turned out that they had finally located and captured Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies.

Beelzebub was the first high-level being to enter the surface world, but he was a downgraded one.

Even with his bronze-level strength, he still managed to pull off several major feats, including sending the old instructor Huang to meet his maker.

He's now at the peak of Bronze, and he's about to enter Silver.

However, with the help of several angels who descended from heaven, the Papacy finally managed to contain the Lord of the Flies in a region of Romania.

The extraordinary power of most of Europe has now been mobilized, determined to eradicate Beelzebub, the demon king of hell.

Then came the news of the great poet Ciro's death in battle...

Chapter 524 The True Colors Are Revealed

　 Xiluo died in battle.

As for how he died in battle, the situation is very complicated.

You could say he was tricked and killed, and that's one way to put it. But it's not that simple.

Because he wasn't the only one who got scammed.

The Papacy united twelve extraordinary forces, all of which are well-known ancient powers in Europe, basically encompassing the major countries of Europe.

There were a total of over 380 extraordinary individuals participating, including 18 bronze-level individuals.

Yet, even with this lineup, they still lost. And they lost miserably.

Of the more than three hundred extraordinary individuals, less than seventy returned alive, and twelve of the eighteen bronze-level individuals died!

Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies, made a fortune from this one move.

Although he was also sent back to hell, the pillars of the Papacy were almost entirely wiped out.

You ask how we did it? Don't ask. The answer is simply keeping up with the times.

The Lord of the Flies was originally a high and mighty demon king of hell, but after sneaking into the world of the living, he has made rapid progress over the years.

Now that he is no longer in the physical world, his past actions can finally be known through divination.

It was only then that people discovered that he had actually changed his appearance and studied criminal psychology and social behavior at Oxford University for two and a half years.

Instead of getting into all sorts of dirty tricks, this demon king has started studying psychology!

The Vatican felt it had seized an opportunity to severely damage Beelzebub, who had been committing atrocities in the real world for many years and had brought shame upon the Vatican.

However, all the angels that descended perished, and one of them was even corrupted by hell and taken to hell by the Lord of the Flies.

One can imagine that this angel is about to be subjected to all sorts of extreme and disturbing play. If you see him again, it will probably be in hell.

There are quite a few fallen angels, and they come in many different kinds.

The Lord of the Flies set a huge trap in Romania, using himself as bait and a price to almost cripple half of the extraordinary world of Europe.

The core members of the established forces have suffered heavy losses and are no longer able to maintain the original order.

Europe was originally much better off than America, because it was an ancient territory cultivated by humans for thousands of years, with complete facilities. It even had protective measures in place to cope with the era of supernatural psychic powers.

Therefore, things have always been much calmer over there than in America, at least there are very few supernatural beings directly appearing there.

Generally, if you stay quietly in the city, there's not much danger.

However, this wave of events could ruin everything.

The people of Europe finally got to experience the life of the America's tough guys, living on the edge.

He went out in broad daylight, one hand gripping the hilt of a sword, the other holding a pistol.

Never go near those secluded alleys in the city; strange things often appear there.

At night, it was almost curfew. Nobody dared to go out.

Only the Night Watch and the extraordinary individuals along the relevant roads patrol at night to prevent any serious incidents from occurring.

How did the Lord of the Flies manage to do that?

His plan was quite ambitious, with each step seemingly linked to the next.

First, contrary to his usual behavior, he started playing the tricks of a low-level devil, secretly recruiting some superhumans (psychology played a big role) and having them join the expeditionary force as spies.

There are quite a few traitors, a total of fourteen.

They were all unaware of each other's identities, each believing themselves to be the sole traitor. Then they secretly poisoned each other, activated cursed objects, cast hellish spells, and stabbed each other in the back…

Anyway, as soon as the Fly King gave the signal, things immediately fell into chaos here.

There were more than a dozen disturbances of varying sizes; someone who didn't know the situation might have thought there was some kind of internal strife.

These are just the small ones; there are bigger ones too.

The Lord of the Flies has actually called in outside help!

King Solomon sealed away 72 demons under the command of Belial the Sloth, the demon king of Hell, and many of them have since escaped.

Although many of them are not Silver rank, they are all at the peak of Bronze rank. Moreover, they possess special abilities and great strength.

This time, those who cooperated with the Fly Lord to harvest superhumans included the First Pillar Demon God Baal, the Second Pillar Demon God Agares, the Fifth Pillar Demon God Marbus, the Eighth Pillar Demon God Barbatos... a total of sixteen!

The trap had been set up for several years. A large group of cunning, despicable, and powerful demons, who were caught off guard, killed two angels and two bronze-level warriors on the spot. Then the other side activated the trap and began to reap the rewards.

In the end, if Siro hadn't written his final epic chapter at the last moment, sealing his own fate and sacrificing himself to open a passage for the survivors, everyone would have died. After death, they would have gone to hell to become playthings of demon kings.

In the end, Zhao Hao only found a book of poems written by Xiluo before his death.

……

In late 87, a major plague broke out in sub-Saharan Africa. It was caused by the followers of the Toad God.

They began to proclaim the benevolence of their great and loving father, who bestowed upon all people the same disease.

According to incomplete statistics, more than eight million people died during those three months. Even the animals on the grasslands were almost wiped out.

By 88, the US had also begun to abandon its human rights rhetoric.

Because the citizen branding is already 80% complete, with this thing you can't even do free shopping on the street, let alone resist the government.

This led to the implementation of a strict regulatory mode.

This is no longer just a shooting incident; it's a confrontation between the rebels and the authorities. Gunfire can be heard every hour in every city.

Sometimes, when they play big games, they can play ping-pong for days on end.

Sometimes, individual towns that were about to be branded would collectively rebel, building trench fortresses directly in the streets and starting to play a tower defense game with the authorities.
