This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi sighed slightly and waved his hand.

But he finally felt better.

Witnessing hell with your own eyes always makes people feel powerless.

But if this was the price to pay for victory, then the Cursed Hall had already told him the price.

Heroes who once died in Hell, climbed out of their graves and returned to Hell, are still fighting to destroy Hell.

And he is one of those heroes.

"Word has come from the Truth Center that Ars has successfully possessed me. His body is currently being adjusted. I need to go back."

Ye Yiyi spoke, looking up at Dino's expression.

"What about you, Dino?"

“…I want to stay here.”

Dino was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Yiyi, then answered.

“Also… I admit that I had some selfish motives regarding Ars before.

"Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he's still my son-in-law, still a Campbell's 'king carpenter'

"Whether or not he was coerced, he committed an unforgivable crime against the citizens of Campbelltown...

“So, later, I will personally preside over the King’s Trial and summon the survivors in the capital. In the Judicial Trial Hall, I will list Ars’ crimes in detail and render a fair judgment.

"I believe Fulton will accept my decision..."

"...What are the opinions of the king and the Holy Nineteenth Church?" Ye Yiyi seemed to be thinking about something.

"When the disaster struck, all members of the Campbell royal family, including the king, attempted to escape the capital through an underground secret passage. They all fell into a large rift and are now missing."

Dino replied expressionlessly:

“Therefore, according to the order of succession to the kingdom, I will serve as regent and handle state affairs on behalf of the king until His Majesty is confirmed to be alive.

“The three remaining black cardinals of the Holy Nineteenth Church’s High Council of Bishops have expressed no objection to this resolution.

"So, starting an hour ago, I became the regent of the Kingdom of Campbell."

Only three left?

I remember there were a lot of people there when I saw it before.

Looking at Dino's expression again, Ye Yiyi suddenly understood.

He wasn't sure about the members of the Campbell royal family, but the high-ranking bishops of Saint Nineteen must have been killed by the Curse-Bearer an hour ago.

How abominable! Curse-wielder!

"Very well then, Your Highness the Regent."

Ye Yiyi pursed her lips and waved at Dino.

"I go first."

Soon, Ye Yiyi flew across the city and returned to the Cathedral of Justice in the form of a dragon man.

Amid the salute of the Knight of the Golden Cup who stayed in the church, a Knight of the Law came up to him and led the way for him.

"Please follow me, Lord Hawkwood. Your companions have just gone to the second-floor lounge."

Looking at this middle-aged knight with a square face and thick eyebrows, Ye Yiyi had a slightly strange expression.

Isn’t this the John Deere Knight Commander I met at the Morning Star Baths before?

He actually survived?

However, he was not in the mood to reminisce with the knight at the moment, so he just nodded slightly and let him lead the way.

As we stepped into the cathedral, a large number of simple tents appeared in front of us.

As the safest place in the royal capital now, the people in the inner city were placed in the cathedral after the hypnosis was lifted.

To be able to live in the inner city, these people must be either rich or noble.

So as soon as Ye Yiyi came in, he saw a noble man with a big belly, as if he was ten months pregnant, complaining loudly to the garrisoned knights.

Not far away, next to the tent, there was a group of nobles in exquisite clothes, huddled together, looking at this side and whispering.

"Why is all the food being distributed this garbage? Is there no food in the cathedral? Where are those priests' kitchens? Bring up the sacramental communion there!!"

Facing the man's complaint, the knight frowned, suppressed his anger and kept explaining to him that all the food in the kitchen had been confiscated, and what was distributed to everyone now was the best food available here.

But even so, the big-bellied nobleman still refused to give in.

"The best food? You call a sweet potato the best food? This thing is for feeding pigs! No! Even pigs won't eat it!!

"You told me to eat this! You might as well let me die!!"

The big-bellied nobleman became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He threw the sweet potato in his hand heavily to the ground and stomped on it with his foot.

Seeing this, the knight's face immediately turned red and veins bulged on his forehead.

But due to the other party's identity, he was unable to make any response.

"John Deere Cavalier?! Come over here and judge for yourself! Reimu (Five Y) leads his wife to eight places, Ling Qi Liu leads her to eight places."

The noble turned his head and saw John Deere leading a strange-looking demi-human walking in. His eyes immediately lit up and he ran over, panting.

Seeing this, John Deere's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Before he could answer, he heard a flat voice behind him.

"Who is this guy?"

John DeLear's face changed and he quickly turned around to answer.

"He is Sir Pross..."

"John Deere Knight!"

The big-bellied nobleman interrupted the knight, then looked up and down at Ye Yiyi with a strange expression.

"Knight John Deere, who is this...?"

"Your name is Pros?"

Ye Yiyi lowered his head to look at the other person's big belly, then raised his eyes to look at the other person's fat face which was covered with a lot of fat.

"..."

Pros silently glanced at John Deere, who had an expressionless face and pretended to be in deep thought with his eyes downcast. Suddenly, he was confused about where Ye Yiyi came from and couldn't help but lower his posture.

"I'm Pros, a first-class craftsman in the Engineering Department of the Kingdom of Campbell, an observer of the Surveillance Committee, and a former Viscount. I wonder who you are...?"

"A craftsman from the Engineering Department?"

Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows.

"Do you know Ars?"

"Lord Yars, the 'Royal Craftsman'?" Pros was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled happily.

"Unfortunately, I am a craftsman under Lord Ars and have served as his sealing assistant."

"Oh, what a coincidence?" Ye Yiyi suddenly smiled.

"You're a Sealing Assistant. Does that mean you've been to the Holy Foundry and helped Ars?"

"That's right!" Pros straightened his waist and raised his head, his fat face full of pride.

"Even took Jurisprudential Communion?"

"That's because of the appreciation of the bishops of Saint Nineteen!" Pros smiled and bowed slightly towards the cathedral.

"Then tell me, how were those flesh men made in the Holy Foundry?"

When the word "meat man" came out, Knight John Deere frowned in confusion, but the nobles gathered not far away suddenly changed their expressions.

"Meat man?"

Pros was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked thoughtful.

After some thought, he answered:

"The Meat Man is the product of Lord Yars's research into stagnant spirituality. Lord Yars once said that the capital of Campbell was built on a damaged vein. As the souls of life returned to the earth, the residue accumulated, and thus the spirituality became rich.

"But due to the suppression of the Truth Center, that spirit was affected by stagnation during the ten thousand years of sedimentation, and then became a stagnant spirit..."

"Pros! What the hell are you talking about!!"

Suddenly, a loud roar was heard in the distance, and a middle-aged noble came forward angrily with a group of nobles and guards, raising his hand to grab Pros.

"bass!!"

There was a flash of silver light, and then the sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard.

Bright red blood splattered in the sky, and a right arm wrapped in silk cloth flew high into the air before falling heavily to the ground.

The middle-aged noble stared at his empty right arm and looked up.

Just then, Ye Yiyi, with a smile on his face, put the silver-white long knife back into his left arm.

"Don't stand there, Pros, go on. I'm listening."

"Ah? Oh! Ahem..."

Pros looked down at the arm, then cleared his throat and continued speaking without any surprise.

"Lord Ars said that the Campbell people, who live on the ley lines, are influenced by stagnant spirituality, and therefore their souls are naturally endowed with certain characteristics that are superior to others..."

"Pros!!"

The middle-aged noble covered his bloody severed arm and let out a shrill scream.

The nobles and guards behind him rushed forward, and some even drew their weapons and stabbed at Pros without any concealment.

John Deere's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to draw his sword from his waist, he heard a loud noise.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three Truth Destroyers wearing the armor of the Golden Cup Knights suddenly dropped from the sky, stretched out their arms and clasped each other tightly, then turned into a steel wall and crushed forward.

The nobles and guards were immediately knocked away by this wall of people. Some even spun and collapsed a tent, causing the noble ladies in the hall in the distance to scream.

He looked up and glanced at Alice on the second floor of the hall, who was playing with a dagger with a faint purple light in her hand and watching the show with great interest.

Ye Yiyi turned her head to look at Pros, smiled and said softly.

"Ignore them and go on, Pros."

Chapter 452 Return to the Deep Depression

Under the influence of Alice's hypnosis, Sir Pross was unaware of the commotion at the scene.

Hearing Ye Yiyi's urging, the Sir thought for a moment and then continued with his previous words:

"Lord Ars said that due to the influence of the stagnant spiritual energy that has settled underground, the souls of the Campbell people are born with certain characteristics."

"...What characteristics?" Knight John Deere looked at the group of nobles who were pushed down by the Truth Annihilators and were now becoming more and more agitated, then looked at Ye Yiyi who was smiling and finally couldn't help asking.

"SHUT UP!! PLOS!!!"

A sharp roar from the middle-aged noble was heard in the distance, but he was soon hit by a punch from the Truth Destroyer and then fainted.

Pross seemed oblivious to this and continued:

"There's a barrier between the soul and body of the Campbell people. According to Lord Yars, they can exist independently of their bodies and are naturally excellent material for the Army of Truth."

"What is the Legion of Truth?" Ye Yiyi looked at the Truth Annihilator and asked curiously.

"It's an army composed of skilled servants and mechanical vehicles..."

Pros's eyes were clear, and then a hint of excitement and enthusiasm appeared in his eyes!

"Lord Ars said that if we first use the Soul-Sinking Golem to devour the souls of the Campbell people, and then transfer the souls into the bodies of the Skilled Slaves and Mechanical Vehicles, we can bring them back to life!

"With an army like this, Lord Ars will soon be able to completely overthrow the Campbell royal family and lead our Twelve Craftsmen family to become the new rulers of Campbell!!"

"Heh, is Ars actually still thinking of something like this?"

Ye Yiyi chuckled, raised his hand and patted the pale-faced Knight John Deere, and then asked amid the ashen expressions of many nobles:
