Chapter 591 The Lord’s Thirteen Disciples
Next to the giant statue that was holy yet filled with a certain weirdness and absurdity, Colin saw the person he had just spoken to.
An old man in a white robe, with an aged face but extremely bright eyes, made a very kind impression at first glance...
Around him were dozens of believers of the "Fukuguang Society" dressed in white.
Everyone's face was filled with a gentle and peaceful expression...
They didn't seem angry at all because Colin had killed more than a dozen of their Beyonders along the way.
Later, the middle-aged man who was hiding thought that if something went wrong in the end and Colin was defeated, he would find a way to take Colin away and escape.
After all, with such a big commotion, the people from the Fuguang Society would most likely not let them go...
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to wait until both sides are hurt before stepping forward.
What they didn't expect was that this "returnee from the deep sea" picked up from the beach was so strong. When facing those once invincible and terrifying extraordinary people of the "Fuguang Society", he won as easily as killing a chicken!
You know, although these extraordinary people's bodies are not immune to bullets, they can still cause damage if hit.
But the problem is that their strong physical fitness makes it impossible for ordinary people to hit them!
But this situation completely failed to work on that "boy".
Even if the enemies were so fast that they left afterimages and were difficult to catch, Colin was able to shoot them one by one slowly and calmly.
He shot one enemy after another, and it seemed that he had some special protection on his body. The enemy's long-range attacks were blocked by some invisible air wall when they came in front of him.
As a result, along the way, it seemed as if he was unparalleled, encountering almost no obstacles, as if he was entering an uninhabited area...
"What kind of freak have I brought back?"
The middle-aged man lying down and hiding behind the shelter was dumbfounded. While muttering to himself silently, he suddenly noticed the pile of broken limbs on the ground, as well as some corpses that were almost completely missing but still twitching and not completely dead.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should sigh at Colin's great strength, or sigh at the extraordinary people's strong vitality. Even if they turned into rotten meat, they seemed to be able to struggle.
That was when the middle-aged man was shocked.
Colin stared at the old man who looked like the bishop of the Fuguang Society, and thought quickly in his mind:
"Compared to those just now, these should be true believers..."
According to the custom of the Fuguang Society, it seems that they will accept the loyalty of some other Beyonders...
The level of their faith cannot be said to be very high, it is more like a kind of respect mixed with fear.
But the group the old man was in was different. Because their faith was deep enough, there was even some pale light faintly visible on their bodies, making them look quite peaceful and sacred.
However, this was not the reason why Colin stopped. The main reason why he did not continue was because he felt a similar aura on this statue.
But they are just similar, the others seem to be quite different...
At the same time, after hearing Colin's extremely "treasonous" words, a small number of people around the old man who was emitting a faint white light showed anger and wanted to say something.
But the old man raised his hand to stop him, and then he spoke clearly and quickly:
"I can see that you are relatively friendly even to the most ordinary humans, and are willing to help them. This is also what my 'Lord' does. In the midst of devastating disasters, I try my best to save them...
"You and I were supposed to be walking on the same path, but now, there might be some misunderstanding between us...
"Perhaps, we can try to communicate and resolve the misunderstanding."
As he spoke, the pale white light on his body became clearer and clearer, emitting an indescribable power that invisibly infected the people around him and made them submit to him.
but……
Colin was unaffected.
"The same path? I guess you're overthinking it. I've seen a lot of things claiming to save the world, but I haven't seen many that are truly benevolent."
As Colin spoke, he shifted his attention from the old man to the relatively familiar white light on him, frowning.
If people weren't forced to undergo some kind of life transformation, or completely change their thinking and turn them into some kind of believer...
In fact, everything can be forgiven, even the so-called "blood donation". If some power is needed and can be used at the necessary moment, Colin thinks it is not impossible.
After all, the ultimate goal is to use this power to protect more people...
But beyond that, that almost complete cognitive shift is almost tantamount to eradicating people.
This is one of the bottom lines that Colin believes cannot be crossed.
This group of people not only stepped on it, but also felt that it was natural to do so.
Even though he felt that the white light was inexplicably familiar, it could not forgive his sins.
"My Lord must be kind. He once promised us personally that before the catastrophe comes, he will open the gates of paradise for us, the weak and helpless..."
The old man stared at Colin, with a faint white light floating in his eyes.
Hearing this, Colin felt a growing sense of discomfort. However, before he took action to completely resolve the situation, he inexplicably felt that he should be more cautious and learn more information to avoid making mistakes in his judgment.
After all, what the "Fuguang Society" did, and even the light itself, made him instinctively disgusted, but at the same time, the feeling of déjà vu made him worry that his own people might be hurt.
"What is the name of the thing you believe in..."
Hearing Colin's words, the old man in a white robe with red stripes and a wrinkled face smiled devoutly.
"I, the Lord, am the enemy of all evil, and the light of hope for the helpless...
“When the most evil times come, the Lord will cast His loving gaze upon us amidst the celebrations of His chosen thirteen disciples, messengers, and those who follow and love Him…
"His disciples will open the way for us to a peaceful and harmonious future...
“…”
Colin frowned as he listened to the other party's words. He just wanted to ask for a name and confirm something, but why the hell was this going on and on?
As the thought flashed through , he was about to interrupt the other person, but a sense of horror inexplicably arose in him.
At that moment, he vaguely felt as if he was being watched...
Then he jerked awake, noticing that in the brief one or two minutes he'd been talking to it, the twisted and bizarrely shaped sculpture had invisibly grown a bit larger...
Moreover, the sculpture, which was originally wrapped like a cabbage, has opened up quite a bit.
This also allowed him to see that under the gaps between the overlapping wings, there seemed to be a wrapped, curled-up thing that looked like an embryo.
The creature's big eyes were closed at this moment, but there was always a feeling that they were about to open at any time!
"No, that's not right! This thing... and this old thing, while they're supposed to be answering my name, are more like chanting. And, from the very beginning, I'm afraid it's been affecting my state a bit. Otherwise, based on my personality, I would have just slit their throats!"
Colin blinked hard, and immediately realized the reason for this situation through some of his "rich" fighting instincts.
He had indeed not been deceived by the other party's words and had never considered surrendering or not...
But the other party's methods were more inclined towards other directions. For example, to a certain extent, combined with words, they weakened his murderous tendencies and made him relatively calm down.
This effect is slight and can even be considered a positive "gain".
After all, most of the time, Colin, or any normal person, would calm down and stabilize themselves instead of having a mess in their mind.
And through some "positive" influences, the other party objectively induced him!
If it were someone else, without those fighting instincts, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to notice when the other party is really "turning back"!
Immediately, at this moment, Colin did not hesitate, quickly drew his gun, aimed at the other person's head and shot.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The large-caliber "bullets" flew out, but passed through their figures...
Illusion of light and shadow... Colin raised his eyebrows, and then, driven by his fighting instinct, turned the gun around, ready to quickly draw his gun and shoot in a certain direction in the venue.
However, before the trigger was pulled, a certain distortion occurred in the scene before him.
The "light and shadow" are disordered, as if looking at a kaleidoscope.
“Wow…”
Fire surged in Colin's pupils, dispelling the chaotic world, and then he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
At this moment, the feedback of hitting a real object finally came...
It was at this moment that the area in front of him appeared as if a mirror had shattered, revealing its original situation.
The layout isn't much different from before, except that everything is slightly offset.
As a result, the direction he was originally looking at and where the enemy was actually standing were two completely different directions, which is why he missed the target.
"Well……"
Even though many believers helped to block him, the old man was still stunned by the explosion of his right limb and part of his chest. He had never expected that the situation that was originally going in a good direction would be reversed in an instant.
Moreover, the dislocated vision that was originally effective against powerful leaders of other heretical organizations was actually easily seen through!
But fortunately, now...
All he has to do is take the last step!
With just this last step, he can let the "disciples" in the current holy land of the "Fuguang Society" come here and kill or subdue the enemies in front of them!
A large number of believers took action, using their bodies to block the bullets, sacrificing their lives to do their best to block the powerful attack from the enemy.
Under the protection of everyone who risked their lives, the old man glared and shouted loudly:
"The Lord's third disciple..."
As he spoke, a distorted light emerged from the center of the sculpture. Behind the light, a tall but deformed hunchbacked figure could be vaguely seen, dragging a scarlet weapon in his hand that looked like a sickle and a cross.
The terrifying aura still makes people feel uneasy even from a long distance.
"A second-level individual gifted by a higher power is a relatively troublesome thing for me now..."
"Without using certain props, it's difficult for me to kill him instantly. I have to deal with him in advance."
"Otherwise, even if nothing happens to me, ordinary people here can't withstand this level of confrontation."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Colin saw a mocking smile on the corner of the old man's mouth.
As if to say it's already too late...
Colin was not affected by this and calmly and quickly took out a golden card.
However, just as he was about to solidify the current area and eliminate all hidden dangers, something strange suddenly happened!
The Gate of Blessings, which was gradually taking shape, suddenly stopped progressing and then collapsed...
Behind the old man , a young man wearing the same church attire used more than a dozen light spears to pierce the old man's body, ending his last call.
"You..." He moved his gaze tremblingly, looking at the "believer" he thought was a devout believer in disbelief.
Facing the other person's gaze, the young man, radiating white light, smiled back:
"It was a close call. You heretics almost brought disaster here..."
As he spoke, he detonated the spear of light, blasting the old body into pieces of flesh...
Colin, who was standing behind, frowned when he saw this scene.
The power on the other party is very similar to the aura of the "Fukuguang Society", but if you look at it more carefully, you will find obvious differences.
For example, the white light on the other party looked more "extreme" and pure than that of the "Fukuguangkai"...
But Colin did not feel disgusted by this "extreme" feeling, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"What's going on with you?" He raised his revolver and aimed at the other person.
Seeing the boy pointing the gun at him, the young man quickly raised his hand and explained:
"Don't get excited. I... can't say I'm one of you, but I definitely don't have any ill intentions. This time I sneaked in here mainly to disrupt the 'Disciple Ceremony' being held here..."
Although Colin looked very young, he did not dare to be careless at all.
Then, he expressed his situation as quickly as possible through "inspiration" and words to avoid misunderstanding.
Before Colin came here, in order to seek revenge, he left his own shelter and sneaked into the "Fuguang Society", one of the heretical forces that believed in "White Night", for a long time.
Some even became their "elite believers" through some means.
Then, when he heard that the lower-level selection ceremony of the "Disciple Ceremony" was being held and that others could not pass it temporarily, he immediately came here as a deep believer of the "Fuguang Society" and prepared to cause trouble.
But he didn't expect that when he was thinking about how to stop this incident, something strange happened suddenly.
A "kid" who appeared out of nowhere, in a way he could never have imagined, using the most brutal means, directly killing his way in...
Although he doesn't know the other party's background yet, it seems that there should be no problem.
Furthermore, when Colin questioned him, he only revealed that he came from a certain shelter and, due to some circumstances, was saved and became a Beyonder of the Light Path. Considering his own characteristics, his strength was probably around Level 6, approaching Level 7...
As for more, I have no intention of revealing it.
Colin nodded without asking any further questions. Seeing this, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the misunderstanding should be resolved.
All that's left is to find a way to communicate with the other party and find out where this young man came from...
In the previous exchange, the other party seemed to have a very clear understanding of the official internal hierarchy, which made it impossible for him to conceal too much information.
However, just when he thought they could continue communicating, he suddenly saw the young man raise his hand towards him...
The young man was startled, but he had no time to react. His body seemed to be pulled by a force and flew directly towards the other party...
Faced with this power, he couldn't even resist!
However, when he thought he was finished, he found that the boy just grabbed his collar and threw him behind him.
" I'll try to transfer everyone later . You'll be responsible for maintaining their stability..."
The level six personnel of the shelter were stunned when they heard this, and found that the other party was staring at the place where he had been standing with a serious expression.
He followed his sight and found that the corpses of the heretics that were originally scattered on the ground were undergoing some kind of transformation at some point, turning into a large amount of soft white light, flying towards the twisted statue of the god in the venue like rising dandelions.
The believers of the "Fuguang Society" who were supposed to be scattered here and there turned into light and shadows, kneeling on the ground devoutly.
"'Disciple'? I clearly cut off the path... No, that's not right, not 'disciple', it's, it's..." The young man's eyes widened, and his face turned pale when he realized a certain possibility!
"God's Descent?! How is that possible? How could the destruction of just one gathering point trigger a 'God's Descent'?"
He said in disbelief.
As far as he knew, since the "red light" landed, these great beings would definitely .
Because it costs enough!
He even wondered if he was having an illusion.
However, the next second, before he finished speaking...
An extremely terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
