At that moment, Joseph felt deeply aware of his own ignorance and ridiculousness.

He was almost scared to death by the mayor's wife, and now he wants to see the mayor in person?

At this point, his ridiculous self-confidence had completely collapsed.

Chapter 0100 Ants Looking Up at Giants

Compared to the tension between the two, Armitage was much more composed. He then praised Lilith's beauty and offered his heartfelt blessings.

Lilith was overjoyed to hear this and replied happily, "Dr. Armitage, you are indeed as the mayor said, a truly upright and learned gentleman."

Armitage's words greatly relieved the tension and frustration the two had just experienced.

Having been through countless battles, they took a deep breath and tried their best to adjust their mental state to the best possible condition in order to deal with the mayor, who was very likely a level 50.

Lilith led the three to the second-floor reception room, where Los was sitting, looking down at a book.

The book is called Fear and Submission, written by His Majesty Rosas, the founding emperor of the Rosas Empire. It details the fear and submission he experienced throughout his life, as well as the fear and submission others showed to him after he came to power.

As soon as the three of them entered the living room, Kingston's eyes were involuntarily drawn to Los's body.

The instant he saw it, Kingston felt a shiver, which he couldn't describe, rise from the depths of his soul and quickly spread throughout his body.

This is an innate fear, the most primal fear of the completely unknown.

This was the second time Kingston had experienced such a tremor; the first time was when he was twelve years old.

His father was a doctor and his mother was a nurse. He learned about the human body and medicine from a young age, and even dissected animals and human bodies frequently. Therefore, he had the best psychological resilience among his peers, and was also the least emotional.

Because no matter what happens, he can handle it calmly, because he understands the underlying principles and has seen many things that are even more bloody than this.

However, when he was twelve years old, he witnessed a person who had been dead for five days suddenly sit up and undergo incomprehensible changes in his body.

"How can the dead come back to life?!"

While he was still wondering, the man whose face was already beginning to rot went berserk and killed his parents. He devoured them like a pack of crazed beasts.

At that moment, he felt an overwhelming fear, far beyond his comprehension.

He was not afraid of corpses because he believed in science, but at that moment he discovered his own ignorance and how terrifying it was to be unable to understand.

At that moment, he lost control of his body; he felt an overwhelming fear threatening to overwhelm his reason, his knowledge, and his world.

He felt like a frog that had just jumped out of a deep well, seeing a completely new world, but completely unable to understand it.

His wandering thoughts gradually subsided under the influence of his strong will.

Kingston found his body stiff and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although he had become thousands of times stronger over the years, at this moment he discovered that the young mayor in front of him was hundreds of millions of times more terrifying than the zombies he had encountered back then!

The gap has not only failed to narrow, but has instead been magnified infinitely.

Kingston looked at the mayor he had never met before. With his immense power and extraordinary intuition, he could clearly sense just how terrifying this man was.

For over thirty years, he worked tirelessly to understand the unknown, to train and to become stronger. He thought he had gradually come into contact with the origin of this world and that he had completely escaped the terror of his childhood.

However, at this moment he suddenly realized that what kept him from being so ridiculously brave and strong was not his own strength, but his weakness in the face of those monsters!

Fear never left him.

Unlike Kingston, Joseph, though completely subdued, did not experience the same fear.

At level 35, he had been crushed by far too many levels, creating a huge cognitive bias.

At this moment, I only vaguely sensed that this person was very dangerous.

"As expected of a terrifying existence at level 50, the pressure is so immense that I feel like I would have difficulty even moving a finger!" Joseph, whose perception limit is only level 50, has already classified Los as level 50.

He glanced at the captain and saw that the captain's face looked extremely pale, even worse than his own.

"What's wrong with the captain? He's seen level 50 super strong people before, why is he so out of control?" The continuous shock and pressure had already made his mind a little fuzzy.

Armitage, who was only level 18, couldn't sense anything and thought Los was just an ordinary person.

Lilith, who was standing to the side, saw everything clearly and a pleased smile appeared on her lips.

Seeing these people so fearful and cautious always gave her a strong sense of pleasure from their terror.

“Mayor, Dr. Armitage and two experts have arrived,” Lilith said as she walked over.

Upon hearing this, Los put down his book, looked up at Armitage, and said with a smile, "Please sit down!"

At that moment, Kingston and Joseph both saw the monster they remembered. This person was much more handsome than the average person, with a reserved and melancholic air, and looked like an introverted and shy young man.

It's hard to imagine that this is the same person who was the iron-fisted mayor who cracked down on Arkham and eradicated the cult.

Armitage sat down with a smile and said, "Mayor, I'm here mainly to apologize to you and explain the misunderstanding."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the two of them, who stood there frozen, motionless.

“Captain Kingston, Vice-Captain Joseph!” Armitage reminded him somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing this, the two seemed to snap out of a daze, quickly regaining their senses and stiffly walking towards them.

At this moment, Los turned his head and focused his gaze on the two people, then gradually loosened his concealment of his form.

Kingston, who was walking stiffly, could no longer control his fear and plopped down on the ground.

His face was deathly pale, and his eyes widened. Sweat instantly beaded on his forehead, dripping down his face.

At that moment, Kingston, sitting on the ground, felt that Los's body, who was sitting there, was expanding infinitely.

Soon, he turned into an ant sitting on the ground, while Los had become a terrifying giant standing tall and imposing.

"What is this? What is this? I don't understand it, I can't comprehend it!"

At this moment, Kingston clearly felt that his mind was not enough when faced with the existence of Los; all his intelligence was insufficient to comprehend what kind of being Los was.

Joseph, on the other hand, abandoned all reason and, with a burst of insane laughter, became a complete idiot, only able to babble.

Chapter 0101 The Importance of Flattery

Armitage was deathly pale, his eyes twitching uncontrollably; he couldn't believe such a scene was unfolding before his eyes.

As a fairly experienced expert in this field, he knew very well that it was extremely difficult to completely drive someone crazy.

The human body has its own protective mechanism. When people's brains receive too much information, the protective mechanism is triggered, causing them to lose consciousness and faint.

Only a fear so powerful it's indescribable, so intense that it can overwhelm a person the instant they meet, before their body's protective mechanisms have even had a chance to react, a fear a million times greater than what a person can bear, can drive a person completely insane.

When I was only level 15, I felt endless fear when facing the offspring of the evil god, but I didn't faint, and I was far from going crazy.

Now, Joseph, at level 35, is certainly much more capable of handling this situation than he was back then.

But now, a level 35 super strongman, someone beyond their comprehension, was actually driven mad by a single glance from Arkham!?

Armitage felt his heart pounding faster and faster; he couldn't imagine what kind of being Los was here.

Joseph's delirious ramblings roused Kingston from his boundless fear. Having experienced many horrific events, his mental fortitude was far stronger than Joseph's.

At this moment, he struggled to maintain his sanity, which had been suppressed to the extreme, and said in a trembling voice, "Mayor Arkham, we...we...we meant no harm."

Upon hearing Kingston's reply, Yi raised an eyebrow and instantly withdrew all his imposing aura.

The next second, Joseph felt the endless waves of fear recede as if time had reversed, his mental world gradually returned to normal, and his will, which had been suppressed to the limit, finally recovered somewhat.

He gradually came to his senses and looked at Los again, only to find that the smiling young man was nothing special except for being somewhat handsome; he was just an ordinary person who couldn't be more ordinary.

Los's calm, clear voice rang out with a hint of amusement: "Stop chatting, Uncle Carrington, is the tea and refreshments ready?"

“Ready, young master.” Carrington pushed the food cart in.

Armitage turned to look at Los, who was unchanged from any other day, and tried to control his trembling will as he said, "Mayor, we really meant no harm."

Los smiled and said, "Of course I know. They were introduced by my respected Dr. Armitage, so they certainly don't have any ill intentions towards me. In the future, I believe we can reach some very pleasant decisions."

gurgling

The sound of coffee being poured into a cup drew Armitage's attention to the coffee.

Los said, "Mr. Kingston, please have a seat!"

Kingston, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly realized what was happening. His reason had mostly returned, and his brain had regained control of his body.

The super-powerful being known as Titan wiped the sweat from his face, stood up, and carefully sat down next to Armitage, saying in a somewhat bitter voice, "On behalf of the entire Green Covenant, I express my sincere apologies to you."

“Oh? Where does this apology come from?” Los asked in return.

Kingston looked carefully at Los and said seriously, "We previously believed that you, who cured Trish through supernatural means, were a dangerous person tainted by an evil god, without a complete investigation and evidence collection. This was our ignorance and narrow-mindedness. Please accept our apology and goodwill for the sake of our upcoming ability to help you deal with the Dagon Cult."

Los took a small sip of coffee, looked at Kingston, and said calmly, "We don't seem to have had any contact, do we? How did you determine that I'm not a dangerous person tainted by an evil god? Maybe I am an evil god myself?"

Upon hearing this, Kingston's face paled slightly, and sweat beaded on his forehead as he earnestly explained, "No, your power is as deep as the sky and as vast as the earth. If you wish, you can destroy the entire Arkham Empire at any time, or even the entire Rosas Empire."

Upon hearing this, Armitage's eyes twitched uncontrollably. One person destroying an empire? What level of existence is this?!

As Kingston spoke, he observed Los's expression. When he saw that Los's expression did not change for the worse, he continued, "But you did not. On the contrary, you have worked so hard to improve Arkham and help those ordinary civilians."

"Your character is as noble as a legendary saint, and your kindness is as compassionate as an angel. Such a person could never be an evil god."

Hearing these words, Lilith could no longer help but chime in, "What you said is barely correct, but it only describes a small part of the mayor's greatness!"

Kingston nodded hastily and apologized respectfully: "Yes, you are right. My dullness and narrow-mindedness have led me to use such clumsy and humble words to describe it. Please forgive my ignorance and rudeness."

At this moment, Kingston's attitude and his series of boasts pleased Los very much.

“I like honest and self-aware people, Captain Kingston. Your honesty and self-awareness have won me over.” Los smiled and snapped his fingers.

Lilith walked over and stood in front of Joseph, who had completely gone mad.

Then her hair formed two palm-like shapes and pressed them against Joseph's temples.

"Lost and ignorant child, you can awaken now!" Lilith said in a bewitching voice, her eyes glowing faintly red.

Upon hearing this, Joseph's body began to convulse violently, and after five seconds, he suddenly coughed violently, his lifeless eyes regaining focus.

Whoohoo!

As Joseph gasped for breath, still shaken, Lilith returned to Los's side.

“I’m a very generous person when it comes to friends and allies. Let’s invite Vice Captain Joseph to join us for coffee!” Los said casually.

Seeing Joseph regain his senses, Kingston was filled with gratitude and excitement.

He stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for your grace!"
