I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

However, the dagger failed to pierce his skin, but instead aroused the anger that he had been trying to suppress all the way. Soke didn't know whether he would still need that thing in the future, but such behavior was a great humiliation to him.

He pulled the cub that was attacking him from the bottom up by its legs, splitting it in two and tearing it into pieces on the spot.

Such behavior also angered the ogres hiding in the dark, and he was greeted by a rain of poisonous spears that came like a rainstorm.

This time, Sok did not hide. He rushed into the group of ogres under the rain of spears and started slaughtering them. Covered in blood, he looked like a god of war, and forced his way through.

However, the passage was soon filled with more monsters. The surrounding ogres seemed endless. Whenever a companion was chopped down by Sok, they would be dragged away by the cubs hidden in the group to be eaten. Some of them were only alive due to injuries, and the cubs would tear off the flesh and blood from their bodies without any care.

All living and dead things will become their food, including their own kind.

However, they obviously also felt fear, and unknowingly left a passage for the other party to leave.

At the same time, outside the city of Hondo, a large number of alien creatures were climbing up from the edge of the Dusk Mountains and pouring into the city, colliding with the ogres who had rushed over after hearing the news.

This time the result was completely opposite to when they encountered a professional army like the Holy Anointed Army. The thrown spears were able to pierce the armor of the alien vanguard troops and nail them to the spot, but after the spears were thrown and the enemies got close to them, the ogres were completely slaughtered.

The aliens covered in weapons were no different from poisonous hedgehogs. The ogres without spears were quickly overwhelmed by the alien tide, and their secret camps and nests were breached one by one. The elderly, the weak, women and children who stayed behind were eaten by the aliens, and the eggs they laid were taken over by the aliens.

Perhaps Hondo is a terrifying monster nest in the eyes of others, a well-defended base in the eyes of the church, but in the eyes of the aliens it is a huge treasure trove of protein.

In their walnut-sized brains, apart from information about fighting instincts, there are only two basic instructions: eating and reproducing. The fighting instinct is the instinct to complete these two basic instructions. It is only the most basic biological intelligence.

And with such a small brain, the so-called gods behind this world have no possibility of corrupting and infecting it. No matter how hard you try, it will at most send you a bio-wave: "Hungry~"

On the other side, Sok walked to the end of the corridor and saw a pendulum with a cross-section like a city wall, which was firmly fixed with countless huge chains as thick as an adult's arm.

The base node of each chain is a bronze statue of two people kneeling on the ground with their hands stretched out to grasp the iron chain. The densely packed statues form a huge symbol of religious worship.

"Wuwuwu..."

The faint sound of a woman crying came from the endless darkness below. Sok walked to the front of the statue, thought for a while, drew his sword and destroyed the bronze statues one by one. As the chain nodes were broken one by one, the entire pendulum began to sway unsteadily.

Finally, after the last chain was broken, the huge pendulum accelerated due to the potential energy of gravity and slammed heavily into the bottom of the abyss.

There was a dull thud and vibration, and the entire city of Hondo, which was built on the internal structure of the giant bell, began to collapse in an instant in the strong tremor, and the aliens, ogres and various monsters fighting everywhere suffered.

Only Sok, who was protected by a special existence, was safe and sound. As the building collapsed, he flew to the bottom of the giant bell and landed on a covered bridge. This was his real destination, the Cliff of Resentment.

Here are three saints named Tres Angustas. They wear atonement hoods and nun uniforms, and their faces cannot be seen clearly. They are also the embodiment of painful miracles.

After seeing the invader Sok, they joined forces to attack him without any unnecessary words, but Sok dodged easily. In the following battle, it was a completely one-sided beating, and even a three-on-one siege could not defeat Sok alone.

Because the three of them were just fake puppets created by the church to deceive people. They were completely not on the same level as the real miracles called painful miracles, which were actually infused with divine power.

After Sok himself underwent transformation, he himself became a kind of miracle, a miracle called repentance and silence, which brought him the two miraculous powers of immortality of the body and stability of the soul respectively.

Combined with the physical enhancement from the multiple protection technology bestowed by Medea, and the thorny sword that can absorb sins, these together constitute Sok's current profession as Miracle Executioner.

Yes, Sok is now a sharpened sword held in someone's hand.

By this time, Medea has figured out the identity of the being behind Sok, who is the highest being in this world called the Divine Will.

The ability he bestowed on Soke was entirely for the purpose of enabling him to eradicate the incarnations of miracles of pain in various places, and they were all forces under the jurisdiction of the Church of Our Lady. From this, it can be inferred that the divine will wanted to eradicate the Church of Our Lady, or to restore it to its previous state.

In essence, it is just another battle for faith among humans.

The three saints did not resist for long before they were shot dead one by one by Sok. They walked into the building inside the corridor, where there was an old golden male statue on the altar. In peacetime, he would be worshipped by the Virgin Mary believers.

As Sok passed by it, he slashed with his sword, splitting the altar and the statue into two, and then walked slowly towards the secret door deeper underground. He walked to the bottom and found a secret cave. At the deepest part of the cave was a huge fluffy egg made of human hair.

In front of it are three tribute plates.

Chapter 454 Guardian

Sok placed the offerings one by one, the first of which was the gold coins. A voice mixed with multiple female voices rang out in the empty cave: [With this gold melting at my fingertips, I refuse the wealth of my love. ]

The second one is a torn wedding ribbon

【With this ribbon, I refuse contact from my lover. 】

The third one is the black veil of mourning

【With this veil covering my face, I mourn for my dead love.】

The hair on the egg was slowly retracted, revealing the naked body of a female giant. She was half-sitting on the ground and her body was about ten meters tall.

Her body still looked like a normal person, but her head had three faces with different expressions. The three faces were squeezed and twisted against each other under the huge wedding veil. The thick black hair growing from her chin was the source of Maodan's hair.

The giantess did not attack Thok. Her three mouths opened but there was no tongue in them. A sound rang out in Thok's soul:

[Silent penitents, sisters united as one, thus giving birth to the painful miracle called Atajiracus.]

【This egg contains the only perfect thing we have left. 】

As he spoke, a deformed hairy egg fell into Rusoke's hands.

【Take it with you, so that its purity will be away from us, because it will be too late for this deformed body that symbolizes impurity.】

Sok was suddenly pulled into the memory scene of the three people, and relived the memories of how the three people turned into a painful miracle.

A long time ago, there were three beautiful sisters. They had very similar looks, but their completely different personalities magnified their beauty, making it famous far and wide.

A wealthy man came to the home of the three sisters and wanted to marry all three sisters at the same time. Their parents agreed to the marriage under the temptation of the man's huge wealth.

The man gave each of the three sisters a special gold coin as an engagement gift, and the three sisters were unwilling that their parents would marry them to the same man for money.

On the night when the man was to pick up the bride, they killed the man and cried in each other's arms, melted the gold coins that symbolized wealth in the furnace, tore up the plain belts that symbolized the marriage contract, and wore black veils to symbolize burying this forced and unreasonable marriage.

When they were about to commit suicide to completely break free from the shackles of this unfair marriage, a miracle happened to them. The bodies of the three sisters merged with each other and turned into the ugly monster with three faces in one body.

The villagers judged them to be witches because of their distorted appearance. They pulled out their tongues and tied them to the stake to burn them. In the flames, their hair wrapped them up and protected them. They were eventually recovered by the church who came and hid them in this secret cave.

The church grafted their painful and miraculous legends onto mechanical puppets, and the ugly rich men they forced to marry were treated as their husbands, receiving worship and incense from the world day and night in the church's temple.

On the ugly and twisted giant face, three pairs of eyes carry an innocence that does not belong to this world. If you only look at the eyes, no one would associate the owner of the eyes with ugliness and uncleanness.

But this is precisely the source of the power of the painful miracle, when all the beautiful things are completely destroyed, when the symbols of beauty, purity, kindness, hope and other words disappear completely.

The remaining pain, ugliness, suffering, and sin will become the main theme...

If the Holy Light Church didn't appear

【Praise the Messiah~】

Mi Wei's palm radiated a holy light as she gently stroked the forehead of the haggard old woman lying on the simple door panel, relaxing her painful expression and she subconsciously rubbed Mi Wei's palm like a baby.

Perhaps it was because she had not felt such gentle energy and treatment for too long, and she couldn't help but let turbid tears overflow from her sunken eye sockets.

The other refugees who gathered together also felt the power emanating from the divine arts. Their uncomfortable bodies and highly tense minds were soothed and relieved, and they all cried for joy.

Although they were not familiar with the god of faith of these white-robed nuns, it was not important. What was important was that after many years, they finally had new hope.

The ash that spread across the continent killed some people on the spot and caused a large number of plants to wither and die. The number of herbivores would drop sharply as they could not get food, and carnivores would naturally lose their food source, and the entire ecological chain would begin to collapse.

The nutrients absorbed by the soil from the plants that did not die had long been permeated by the ashes, and that special curse entered the remaining ecosystem and affected the entire food chain.

Ordinary people who were lucky enough not to die naturally did not suffer any good consequences after eating food made from these animals and plants. Various deformities and high-risk diseases emerged one after another. The only thing they could do, besides seeking help from Notre Dame, was to burn to death anyone suspected of being a mutant.

In fact, they had no way out from the beginning to the end.

As the Church of Holy Light gradually gained a foothold on the continent, local indigenous forces also began to contact them.

Compared to the brutal and tyrannical Society of Our Lady that wants to occupy everything, the Church of Holy Light is obviously more gentle and kind. It does not discriminate against believers of other churches, but provides assistance and treatment equally.

No matter how you look at it, the Church of Holy Light is more like a patriarch than the Society of Our Lady.

In fact, the Church of Holy Light does not have any prejudice and is even happy to see the existence of other churches.

Because there is no harm without comparison...

Under the guidance of the two popes, the Church of Holy Light gradually embarked on a new path to develop believers, that is, not fighting for the present but for the future.

As long as the number of local believers reaches a certain level and has a good basic faith pool, they can receive the same treatment as believers within the alliance, and the entire village, town or city will be blessed with the statue as the center.

As mentioned before, the things most often prayed for in the statue of Medea are good weather, good harvests, and many offspring, and these three are also her best abilities at present.

In other words, as long as the statue of Medea is brought back, it will be a comprehensive strengthening of the hometown. The more believers there are, the stronger the strengthening ability will be.

For example, the plants and animals infected by the spreading ashes will slowly return to normal under the power of the goddess statue, and the land will be purified and turned into fertile land suitable for farming again.

At the same time, baptism and blessing can minimize the mortality rate of newborns, which is what the indigenous people of this world need most now.

The church can also play a role in enlightenment and opening schools to provide education. After several years, when these children grow up, there will be no reason for them to change their faith choices to other churches.

It is almost impossible for other churches to offer such treatment. This is a blatant conspiracy.

Either other churches will become inward-looking like the Church of Holy Light, competing with each other in terms of foundation and ability, or they will completely give up and lie down, watching the steady growth of believers in the Church of Holy Light.

The Church of Holy Light can act uprightly on this path. It does not need to do anything dirty that would have negative consequences, nor does it need to carry out large-scale purges of other churches like Notre Dame did. This also means that it is difficult for other churches to attack the Church of Holy Light out of righteousness.

Times have changed. It’s not about fighting and killing over a disagreement. That’s what hooligans would do.

The more we get to know the indigenous forces of this continent, the clearer the dark history of Wanmuyuan becomes.

Starting with the mass arrests of non-Church miracles in various places and the trials of other religions, miracles have abandoned this land under the brutal religious rule of the Virgin Mary Society.

As more and more pagans were hastily tried and executed, the miracles of suffering that were closer to curses brought down by the divine will became more and more frequent in various places.

They used to believe that pain brings miracles, but this was a subjective request. Later, more miracles were not the host's own wishes, and this was a curse.

Finally one day, rumors began to spread inside the holy city of Albero that some people were suffering from a strange disease. At first, only small areas of their skin showed red spots, which gradually turned into damage, suppuration, and infection. Large patches of red spots and ulcers began to appear on their bodies, eventually causing deformities in their hands, feet, and faces.

Other people who had come into contact with the patient gradually became infected and developed similar symptoms, and the plague began to spread among the residents of Albero.

As more and more people fell ill, the Church of Our Lady sent clergy to treat the patients with holy ointment, holy water and prayers. However, the plague was like a curse brought down by miracle, and the holy ointment, holy water and prayers that had always been effective had little effect on it.

The high-ranking bishops were like ants on a hot pan, hoping that the Pope could find a way to resolve the crisis brought about by the plague as soon as possible. The Pope's final decision had already been answered in history, that is, he turned over the throne and chose to send craftsmen to build a huge forbidden door.

After the completion, he ordered the priest to cast a forbidden spell on the door and split the talisman for opening the forbidden door into three parts, which were handed over to three miracle believers for care, namely the goat-headed man Tepidade, the Our Lady of Scorch, and the false three sisters.

Afterwards, no matter whether they were civilians or clergy, as long as they were infected, they were all isolated outside the Forbidden Gate. A group of guards who were extremely loyal to the church were summoned to form the Holy Anointed Army, which was responsible for collecting supplies and supervising executions for the church inside the Forbidden Gate.

Upon learning that the Cathedral of All Mothers would be blocked, countless people who were blocked outside the gate rushed to the Forbidden Gate to seek refuge from the All Mothers.

They hoped that the Pope would show mercy and allow the people to seek refuge in the Cathedral of Our Lady of All Mothers, but the Pope was no longer listening to any advice.

The Holy Anointed Army was fanatical and sincere. The Pope personally covered them with oilcloths, anointed them with holy oil, and prayed for them.

Tell them that all the infected people who are kept outside the forbidden door are pagans.

This plague is a distortion of the miracle of pain represented by the Holy Father, a reckoning for these pagans in the form of a curse. It guards the Mother of All Mothers and is also the Holy Father's ultimate test for us devout believers.

Anyone who crosses the bridge outside the forbidden gate and attempts to approach the forbidden gate is a sinner. In the name of the Holy Father, no one will be left alive, and anyone who is not a member of my Holy Anointed Army will be killed without mercy.

So countless unarmed Gustodia citizens who were eager for refuge, supporting each other with crutches, carrying the wounded and even holding babies in their arms, were intercepted and killed by the Holy Anointed Army who were guarding the bridge, holding various weapons, chanting prayers, and releasing miraculous magic of divine light, lightning and flames.
