Directly beneath the giant sphere of light, Shirogane Miyuki took a deep breath and, with a slightly apprehensive heart, selected the highest difficulty match.
The beam of light then fell, and with a wave of dizziness, Silver's vision was plunged into darkness.
......
I don't know how much time has passed.
Bai Yin opened his eyes and saw the familiar protective shield of the main god in front of him. Inside the shield were three people who were strangers to Bai Yin.
A burly man in black armor wielding a greatsword; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place him.
A Western boy with blond curly hair and an oddly styled hairstyle resembling three donuts.
A stunningly beautiful young woman, also blonde and blue-eyed, heavily made up, yet unable to conceal a strange, pure aura about her.
These three people are Silver's teammates today.
Bai Yin didn't go up to greet them; instead, he immediately looked at his task list.
Top Secret Operation: Kingdom of Heaven
Main Quest: Help the protagonist, Baldwin, reach Jerusalem and assist King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem in defeating Saladin's army (Reward: 3200 bonus points, one C-rank side quest). The extraction point will open when Saladin is defeated.
Side Quest: ??? (Unlocked after certain conditions are met)
Warning: After defeating Saladin, the Demons will enter this world!
"Hello, my name is Giorno Giovanna, and I'm very happy to be working with you this time."
The boy with the golden donut-shaped curly hair smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Baiyin. Baiyin, of course, wouldn't refuse a smiling face, and after shaking hands, introduced himself and part of his profession.
The other two also briefly introduced themselves.
The heavily armored, muscular man is named Guts, while the blonde beauty says her name is Pandy.
As for their professions? One said he was a warrior, while the other said he was a gunslinger—the latter then ran over and started flirting with Guts.
Baiyin subconsciously kept her distance from people.
In short, the introduction is very general, but considering that Silver also concealed most of his abilities, it is normal.
It's perfectly normal for a team of strangers to be wary of each other when they're formed on the spot.
Of the four, Guts appears to be the oldest and most composed, but it is Giorno who takes over the leadership.
He subtly guided the discourse, thus gaining temporary control of the team's narrative.
"Gentlemen, before we begin the mission, let's discuss its contents first."
Giorno said softly
"Has anyone seen the movie 'Kingdom of Heaven'? I have, you guys... well, it seems I'm the only one who has seen it."
He paused, then frowned and said...
"But before I speak, I have some doubts. Why would such a world be classified as top secret, and why would the Demon Team be involved?"
Chapter 43: 147. Impersonating an Angel
Kingdom of Heaven is a historical epic film directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2005.
The theatrical version is 144 minutes long, and the director's cut is 192 minutes long. It is an old movie that did not receive good reviews or box office results when it was first released, but later became a classic.
The story is set during the Second Crusade, eighty-five years after the Christian conquest of Jerusalem during the First Crusade, in 1185.
The story begins with the blacksmith Berian, played by the 'Elf Prince' actor. Immersed in the grief of losing his son, he is further burdened by his wife's desperate suicide. A greedy priest steals the cross that was meant to be buried with his wife and cuts off her head, ensuring that she will never be reincarnated.
Enraged, the protagonist kills the priest, and at that moment, his biological father, Sir Godfrey, whom he has never met, appears. He is a Crusader knight serving the Kingdom of Jerusalem, who comes to claim his son and hopes to take him to the Holy Land to find a new life and salvation. Driven to desperation by the murder, the protagonist ultimately decides to join his father, hoping to cleanse his wife's sins in Jerusalem.
The general plot is that the male protagonist falls into Jerusalem, pledges allegiance to the king, encounters a princess, and finally faces the Muslim army led by Saladin amidst ups and downs.
The actual content was largely unremarkable; what was most memorable was Saladin's classic quote.
nothing, anything
Giorno quickly recounted the plot, so the question remains—
Why would such a world be classified as top secret?
Bai Yin looked puzzled.
Kingdom of Heaven is a historical epic film that contains no fantasy elements and tells a story that rewrites history. While this period of history does have some legendary elements, there are absolutely no scenes of angels descending upon the world.
The strongest fighter in the whole series... that's hard to say, but they're all definitely ordinary mortals.
Such a world doesn't even have the right to try and compete with Resident Evil, a beginner's map!
After all, no matter what, Resident Evil will eventually spawn a Licker or even a Tyrant.
If a tyrant were placed in this world, he would truly be on the level of a 'demon descending upon the world'.
"And then there's the arrival of this Demon Team. I've heard of this special team before; they're said to be a special reincarnation squad that only appears in the most dangerous worlds."
The most dangerous top-secret difficulty... but it's just an ordinary historical film.
It must be said that all of this is incredibly eerie.
"There's probably something fishy going on here, so we have to be very careful."
Giorno offered his opinion.
They were unaware of the dangers in this world, or what unknown forces existed within it.
But without a doubt, completing the task as quickly as possible is the safest approach.
"Therefore, it's best for us to complete the main quest as quickly as possible," Giorno concluded, pausing before looking at the three of them.
"I wonder if the three of you have any opinions or suggestions. If so, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope to proceed with my plan."
"You know the most, so you go first."
Guss succinctly stated
"Hmm, although you're a bit young, I like handsome young men like you~~~~"
Pandey winked at Giorno and grinned.
“Mr. Giorno is very suitable to be our temporary captain.”
After a moment's thought, Silver also chose to follow the trend.
On one hand, it's because he's not good at leadership and never had any ambition for power. But more importantly, Giorno was indeed the only one here who had seen the movie.
He is the only and most suitable one.
"Alright, thank you all for your kind offer."
Giorno smiled slightly and then explained his plan.
......
"From this day forward, you will inherit my title, Berian. I hope you will protect our king, face powerful enemies without fear, receive God's grace to protect the people, and safeguard Jerusalem..."
In a dimly lit church in the port city of Messina, the dying Sir Godfrey, with the help of the priest, dripped holy oil and, barely breathing, grasped the hand of his bastard son.
Berian lowered his head, looking at his father, whom he had never met before, his eyes filled with confusion and sorrow.
He was once a blacksmith, but he will become a nobleman.
His sons had died not long ago, and his wife, unable to bear the grief, committed suicide. After her death, the even more tormented Berrian attempted to bribe a priest in hopes of burying his wife and gaining her peace.
But that greedy beast not only lacked the tolerance and love of a shepherd of God, but also stole the only cross from his wife and then ordered her head to be cut off, ensuring that she would fall into hell.
Bélion was in pain and fury, and driven by his rage, he drew his sword and killed the priest!
God, can you forgive my mistakes? Was I wrong? And was this beastly fellow right?
Confused, in pain, and conflicted, he ultimately chose to leave with his father and head to Jerusalem.
He wasn't seeking to inherit the title and land of this father he'd never met, but simply hoped to find answers in this morally upright city, and to pray for atonement for his wife and himself.
On their way, however, they were pursued by the lord, and after they eventually repelled the pursuers, the father was seriously wounded, and only two knights remained by his side.
Berian brought his seriously injured father all the way to Messina, where they would board a ship to Jerusalem.
But before that, Berlion had to face one thing—
After losing his wife and son, he will lose his father.
Even though this was an unfit father, unlike any he had ever had in his childhood, Berlean still felt an unbearable pain and sorrow.
Is all of this another form of punishment from God?
Confused and bewildered by all the answers, Bélix knelt before his father, listening to his final words.
He picked up the ring that symbolized Baron Ibelin's status and handed it to Berrian with trembling hands.
Then, he picked up his family's heirloom sword, a symbol of knightly prowess, and placed it on his shoulder.
"Do you want to repent for your sins?"
The pastor spoke in a cold, emotionless voice.
"For all sins...except one."
Berrian trembled as he looked at his father; the only thing he owned was his father.
Having an illegitimate child is a sin, but even when facing death, the father does not consider it a mistake.
Lord, if you truly exist, why have you bestowed so much suffering and hardship upon us?
Lord, can you hear me? My Lord, my...
bump! ! !
The church doors were flung open with a bang.
Having taken in his father and Berrian's friend, the Hospitaller shouted with immense excitement to everyone in the church.
"Lord, the Lord has sent his messenger!"
"An angel! An angel has descended!!!"
Berian stood frozen in place, while Godfrey, unwavering in his belief in his friend, seemed to have been given a new lease on life, and with a trembling, strained grip, he grasped his son's hand.
"Take me to the messenger of the Lord!"
Berian dared not delay and immediately carried his father away from the church.
They had just stepped out of the church when they saw the legendary angel.
Under the pitch-black night sky, an angel dressed in a white robe, with a halo above his head and a pair of shining wings on his back, slowly descended.
And beside him, incomparably sacred songs were sung.
Amidst the sublime and sacred praise of 'Hallelujah,' the angel descended slowly, with golden hair and a holy face; everything about him made Berian's heart tremble.
"Oh, my Lord, great angel..."
Godfrey, tears streaming down his face, knelt on one knee, hands clasped together, and spoke in a voice filled with emotion and fervor.
Beside him, the parishioners knelt on the ground, and the pastor passionately kissed the earth.
"Gofrey".
The angel's voice trembled like thunder, yet was also as gentle as a spring breeze.
“Your life is not meant to end. Your son carries the Lord’s sacred command. You must go to Jerusalem!”
Having said that, he reached out and touched Godfrey's body.
Intense pain spread through Godfrey's body, but he dared not utter a sound, simply accepting it all with fervor.
And when the angel let go—
Everyone stared in shock as almost all the gruesome wounds on the dying Godfrey's body disappeared.
Even the pieces of flesh in the lacerated opening were completely repaired.
Even those who harbored some doubts were now convinced by this miracle.
Wow! She's a real angel!
Only a true messenger of God can possess such a miracle!
A smile appeared on the face of the angel—no, Giorno.
