I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Su Chen, who was completely unaware of the situation, suddenly felt a powerful energy coming from the medal. This energy was so vast that a clear beam of light appeared where he was. The old woman from the church nearby had already knelt on the ground, muttering to herself.

【充能中...27%...55%...98%、99%、100%！！！】

[Host! The energy is full!!! Ah~ There has never been such a wonderful start.]

The color of the armor changed from black to silver-white inlaid with gold edges. From time to time, several brilliant white lights would flow on the armor. The holiness was so incompatible with this continent dominated by darkness, just like a firefly in the dark night.

"This feeling of fulfillment... I feel like this damn Virgin Mary is not as good as the Queen's!"

You really can't blame Su Chen for being arrogant. His magic skills were like pulling up onions in dry land, and he was forcibly raised from the ninth level to the peak of the holy level across 8 small levels. If it were someone else, he might have become so arrogant that he wouldn't even be afraid of the goddess. But he still retained his sanity.

Ten pillars of light that reached the sky lit up in different areas and pierced into the dark sky. Such obvious light naturally attracted the attention of a large number of extraordinary creatures and also caught the attention of the Inquisition of the Ten Thousand Mothers Church.

Any miracle that does not come from the All-Mother Church is considered heresy, and the color of light is something they cannot accept, and they must be judged by them.

The areas on the continent where the light beams can be seen are like boiling water.

This is why Medea gave them such great power. Fight! Make a scene! The more intense the fight, the better.

After witnessing the tremendous power in Su Chen, the only remaining old bishop of the True Zang Church asked Su Chen for help.

It turns out that the reason why only this small church was preserved was because it was the original church of the True Burial Church, and underneath this church was buried a huge secret basement - the ossuary.

What the old bishop wanted to ask Suchen to do was to find the body of a man named Tertudila.

It turns out that a hundred years ago, this girl named Tertudilla lived a normal life in the city of Albero, but suddenly one day a miracle happened to her. Her hair began to twist and turned into thin thorns.

A hundred years ago, such a miraculous change should have been a miracle from the Holy God, a symbol of pain, just like the distortion of the Holy Father and the Mother of All Mothers.

But her parents believed that this was a punishment sent by miracle, so they sent her to a convent hoping that she would escape the judgment of the church by becoming a nun.

Because at that time, any miracle that was not performed by the church would be ruled as heresy. However, as she grew older, her hair that turned into thorns became increasingly difficult to cover up. The thorns continued to entangle and grow, pricking her and causing her to bleed.

Eventually she was discovered by other nuns, who insisted that Tertulilla was a cursed pagan and secretly burned her to death. In order to prevent Tertulilla from ascending to heaven after her death, her charred body was cruelly divided into three parts and discarded in different areas.

When the True Burial Church learned of this sad story, they secretly collected his body fragments in an attempt to let him rest in peace.

This was also the fuse for the persecution of the True Zang Church. After learning of the actions of the True Zang Church, the Wanmu Society massacred and cleansed the True Zang Church, forcing it to hand over the bodies. At the same time, the True Zang Church was renamed the Church of the Shrine of Truth.

Under the suppression, the True Zang Church inevitably weakened to its current state.

But even so, the True Burial Church still found ways to collect the bodies of those who died unjustly and perform sacred salvation ceremonies. The True Burial Church even wrote a prayer "Song of Thorns" specifically for Tetudila and respectfully called her the Lady of Thorns.

The only wish of the old bishop now is to collect the body of the Lady of Thorns, Tertudilla. This is the regret of the predecessors and also hers.

Chapter 433 Mother of Confession

Su Chen agreed to the other party's request very readily. After all, there was no harm in doing it whether he agreed to it or not. Their mission was to travel around the continent to understand the customs and habits of this world. If they found any wreckage on the road, it would be no big deal to help collect it.

However, in the operations room, Mitia and others discovered from the camera of another person, Soke, that the information was very different from what Su Chen had received.

The Sok team witnessed an unusual small-scale war, in which thousands of soldiers in heavy armor fought each other in front of a church.

Soldiers wearing blue half-body armor, thorn-pointed hats and iron masks struggled to resist the attack of soldiers wearing red full-body armor.

What was strange was that there was not a single scream in the battle between thousands of people, only the sound of metal colliding between swords, armor and other objects.

After observing for a while, Sok discovered that no matter how much damage the Iron-masked Soldiers inflicted on the Red-armored Soldiers, the injured people showed no signs of pain on their faces. Instead, many of them had bloodthirsty smiles on their faces.

It was more like a one-sided massacre than a war. Although the Iron-faced Soldiers were not afraid of life or death, their numerical disadvantage and the fact that the other side did not care about getting hurt made the situation one-sided, and they were gradually forced into the church gate.

"Captain, do we want to do it?" a team member asked in a low voice.

Sok pondered for a moment and made a decision: "It is better to help someone in need than to add icing on the cake. Everyone check their weapons and equipment. It's time for us to take action."

As the Red Armor Legion broke through the gate and entered, a series of explosions rang out from the crowd behind them.

Several rockets and high-explosive grenades thrown from small mortar tubes blew the enemy to the ground, while the remaining personnel stood up and fired machine guns at the crowd, and the dense metal bullets quickly harvested the enemy.

The PKD is used in times of uncertainty. Its not-too-fast firing rate, sufficient power, and lightweight and durable gun body structure have allowed the PKD general-purpose machine gun to be produced and deployed within the alliance until now.

The Red Armored Corps seemed to have no sense of pain. As soon as they found out they were under attack, they fearlessly charged towards where Sok and the others were. However, they were unable to advance under the hail of machine gun bullets.

The consequences of charging the machine gun position head-on were horrific. Not feeling pain did not mean there would be no death. If they were fearless, they would be directly shot to death. The seemingly hard and heavy armor did not help them withstand the attack of 7.62mm bullets, and they fell to the ground in rows like wheat being cut.

Occasionally, a few who were able to rush forward would be beheaded by the members of the Hundred-Man Group who were at the forefront.

As they fought their way inside little by little, they encountered fierce resistance from the Red Armored Soldiers. It was impossible for more than ten people to resolve the battle in a short period of time when facing more than a thousand soldiers. They could only clear the inside little by little.

By the time they broke into the deepest part, the remaining iron-masked soldiers had all died. Sok wielded his two-handed broadsword and relied on the super defensive power provided by his armor to kill all the remaining red-armored soldiers.

Soke shook off the blood on the sword and frowned as he looked at the battlefield littered with corpses. On the battlefield, they hated this kind of troops the most. It was as if their morale was locked and they didn't know what fear was at all.

People are actually easier to kill than pigs, because pigs don’t know what surrender means and only know how to run around.

Looking at the statue that was tightly surrounded and guarded by blue-armored soldiers, Sok walked forward and took a closer look. It was a female statue half-kneeling on the ground with a thorn sword piercing her chest.

The name of the statue is engraved below

【Mother of Confession】

The statue was made of stone, but the sword on her chest was not. Sok reached out and grasped the hilt, and a scene appeared before his eyes.

The woman holds a distorted statue of the Father and hits her chest violently:

[Let sorrow pierce my chest, forge your punishment, and nail it deep. ]

【Take away the sorrow and catastrophe caused by the overturned throne...】

The woman asked for punishment, and a miracle happened in the statue of the Holy Father. A blade stretched out from the statue and pierced her chest deeply.

Sok came to his senses and looked at the strangely shaped sword. Looking at the wasteland filled with rotting corpses and various monsters they passed through along the way, it was obvious that the miracle did not happen.

Or maybe the miracle has already happened, but they need to complete it themselves...

With this miracle sword

Sok pulled the sword out of the statue slowly and forcefully. What he didn't notice was that the holy light that had been emanating from his body quietly retracted into the badge.

Looking at the long sword entangled with statues and thorns, strong and complex emotions surged in his heart, including anger, pain, compassion, resentment and repentance.

【Grieve from the bottom of your heart, penitent.】

A strange energy was connecting with him through the sword. Sok's pupils were glowing faintly red, and he had a strange bloodthirsty impulse.

'Captain, Captain?'

"Huh?! I'm fine."

When everyone in the operations room saw the stone statue, which the True Burial Church said was 100% identical to the image of the Mother of All Mothers, they immediately looked puzzled.

If the Mother of All Mothers was used to describe her, then it was impossible for the church headquarters to be located in such a remote place. Moreover, in terms of garrison strength and construction scale, it was not even much larger than the declining True Burial Church.

Therefore, either the bishop of the True Burial Church is lying, or there is something else going on, and the Church of the Mother of All Mothers deliberately wants to use this second miracle to blur the truth, which is commonly known as taking the blame.

As for the suicidal plea for atonement made by the statue of the Penitent Mother, no one paid much attention to it; they could not hear the voice that Sok heard.

As for the statue itself, it bears pain before death and will go to the other side of the dreamland of heaven after death. This kind of ascetic religious view is not an uncommon church operation in the archives of the Alliance.

The now extinct Cult of the Goddess of Light held this doctrine.

There are many churches, as long as they accept the jurisdiction of the Alliance, but only the Church of the Goddess of Light has been eradicated.

Because the Church of the Goddess of Light is exposed with the theory of hard work in this life to gain happiness in the next life, any normal person can find that there is no more shameless method of slavery than this, which is not only physical slavery, but also spiritual slavery.

If you use such doctrine to betray your own people, no one will care, but if you betray your allies, they will just carry you away.

And through the rough legend that Su Chen heard from the old bishop of the True Burial Church, it can be inferred that on this continent of Ancient Stodia, disease, suffering and supernatural phenomena are all related to God.

This continent is no longer about practicing hard in this life for happiness in the next life, but about enduring unlimited suffering to enter the other side of the great dream, that is, heaven.

And according to the clues that Sok accidentally discovered, there may be far more than one god here, or at least two forces with conflicting positions.

This makes sense as the inconsistent information obtained by Soke and the True Burial Church, as it is not just the Ten Thousand Mothers Church that has the final say over the existence of God.

It is only because the Church of All Mothers is the most powerful in this world at present that its propaganda appears to be the most convincing.

Chapter 434: Where Miracles Birth

The blessings she bestows on others are themselves the most intuitive manifestation of her will, so one can immediately feel the presence of another special energy.

The abnormality that appeared in Soke was the result of Medea's indulgence. She wanted to see what the other party was trying to do. At least for now, it seemed to be a blessing.

It is difficult for people to resist unknown things because they don’t know how to resist or when they will be hit.

At the initial landing point of the Redemption Legion, a girl wearing the black combat nun uniform of the church appeared from the void. Her long jet-black hair was tied in a black headscarf, and darkness became her best protective color.

Taiya slowly stood up from a half-kneeling position, took off the backpack behind him and began to assemble quickly, quickly building a simple altar on the spot.

After the altar was formed and activated with a flash of white light, items appeared on the altar one by one, including a set of magic weapons and special ammunition supplies, and even a small magic kinetic all-terrain vehicle.

Based on the information obtained previously, they quickly arrived at the previous battle site of the Iron Maiden to collect samples of the remaining limbs of the Iron Maiden.

When her fingers touched the fragments, a foul-smelling gas rose up with a hissing sound. Taiya stood up with a frown and whispered, "The target object is extremely repellent to divine power and cannot be contained."

[Received. The map will be updated in real time. Explore freely and be careful. ]

"clear."

With the Redemption Legion clearing the way in front and acting as a humanoid scanner, Taya in the back didn't have much to consider. Following the route left by Su Chen, she also rushed to the location of the True Burial Church.

Compared to Su Chen who was always led by the rhythm, Taya's approach was simpler and more brutal.

The moment she made eye contact with the old woman, a flash of white light flashed in her pupils. The two stared at each other for about two minutes, and the old woman's hunched figure became even more bent.

Taiya reached out and stroked the top of her head: "I know what you know, and I think what you think."

“What’s the name of the largest town?”

'Albero, the place where many miracles were born. Believers listened to miracles and pilgrims rested. It was once the most prosperous city in Gustadia.'

"once?"

'With the ash plague that came from nowhere, a large number of ordinary people left their homes, and countless towns became dead places, including Albero.'

'Countless victims brought their families to Albero to beg for help from the Church of the Ten Thousand Mothers. However, the Church of the Ten Thousand Mothers was helpless against this plague. The Holy King closed the sacred door to the Cathedral of the Ten Thousand Mothers and turned the throne over to stop helping the victims. Therefore, it was called the Age of the Throne Overturn.'

'To this day, the plague has been going on for nearly a hundred years, but thanks to the help of the noble priests who were also locked up at the time, the plague has now been basically brought under control.'

Taiya's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Is this enough to be called the Holy King?"

[Your Majesty, you may now proceed.]

At the same time, white light kept flashing at the altar built by Taya. Aliens appeared from the white light, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, they quickly disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
