Volume 11: The Cursed Hammer Witch Chapter 10: Stigmata (Part 1)
A pale track cut through the sky, splitting the entire planet's sky into two.
Such a strange scenery does not only appear on Bion, but gradually appears on hundreds of planets in the entire universe.
Like some kind of sign, or some unexpected celestial phenomenon, accompanied by ancient prophecies or straightforward warnings, the mark of the Pale Expedition appeared before everyone's eyes without any warning, bringing great panic and despair.
In those worlds that were cut off from information, no one realized what the mark that stretched across the sky like a folded page of a book meant. A hole was torn in the sky, and infinite light burst out from it, spraying several, dozens, or hundreds of flames that impacted the surface of the planet. This was undoubtedly terrifying and panicking for all those who could witness this miracle, and it was even a signal for other countries to go to war.
For a world with magic, spreading news is not a particularly difficult thing. But that is limited to the upper class. As for the wilderness and the lower class bombarded by the meteor, they have no way of knowing what happened there. Those big stars burning with blazing white light drew trajectories and kept falling into the uninhabited mountains, the dark ocean, or the uninhabited snowfield. This random distribution state can only be said to be a meaningless astronomical phenomenon for the upper class. Similar scenes have appeared in the past, such as the falling of meteors. So after the upper class confirmed that it was a false alarm, it did not cause any major incidents for the time being.
Even if some countries carefully sent out teams, all they could get was a slightly stiff response , or a "no problem" response that felt like a voice was plucked and repeated again. Only a very few planets would be exposed in this initial situation.
Obviously, there are not so many cautious countries on Bion, a planet full of heretics and cultists, that are willing to drive teleportation arrays here.
After the bombardment had lasted for dozens of minutes, no wizard had opened a portal to arrive at the scene, and there was only silence.
Only the mortals looked at the barefoot white knight in deathly silence.
“…”
The knight in a white robe stood there with his long hair loose, his chest rising and falling slightly, and he seemed to be breathing gently like a living person.
Everyone in this town seemed to be nailed to the spot by some invisible spear. Just looking at this figure, they felt an infinite majesty and power. It was as if they saw the top of the empire, no, even more powerful than that.
The villagers feared and admired the big men in the upper class the most. Seeing the figure with the Holy Fire Cross floating behind him, some people's eyes gradually became gray, and their faces gradually showed some yearning and frenzy. They looked at the white knight standing in the fire pit in confusion and awe, as if time had stopped.
After a while, the holy figure in the robe moved slightly, his lips trembling slightly, as if he was saying something.
However, as the sacred aura spread, the spirits of all the people present seemed to be soared into the sky. From a terrifying and unsettling perspective, they were like an ancient being in the universe, overlooking the planet beneath their feet that had long been targeted for destruction.
They could sense the destruction brought by them. This planet, which had been occupied by devil believers and pagans, would not have any better ending from the very beginning. All sinners would be judged, and now was the time when these great adventers were communicating. The minds of these elevated people were filled with crazy magic, and those who were gradually going crazy gradually understood the messages of the communication.
'Lecturer Li Lin, where are you? We noticed that you went off track. Will you continue with the original plan?'
"I'm fine. The space-time turbulence caused the defense field to fail, and the orbital module was completely shattered. There was no equipment. And when I landed, the strong impact and high temperature shattered my body, but I am a player after all, and I have been resurrected now. Have you all arrived at your respective locations?"
'A graduate student died of old age during landing due to the failure of space-time turbulence. Another graduate student fell into the deep sea. It seems that something unexpected happened and he did not work according to the regulations. Now his life signs have disappeared. It seems that he was killed by water pressure or other monsters. Other than that, no one else had any accidents. All members arrived at the predetermined target location and are ready to fight at any time.'
'Two people, that's still within the expected range. We can't ask for too much for such a large-scale teleportation... Then all the vanguards will follow the original plan and advance along the tangent and horizontal axis of the entire planet, and wipe out all the enemies they see. No matter if they are from a village or settlement, no matter if they are men or women, old or young, good or evil, as long as there is a shadow of the evil god in their hearts, they will all be killed without mercy. If there are relatives or friends, they will be hunted down. If there are escapees, they will be hunted down. Even a three-year-old child must not be spared. The Holy Judge will open the rivets according to the plan, ready to respond to the pale mark, to complete the purification of the planet within fourteen days, to eliminate obstacles, and at least provide corresponding magic power supply.'
"I understand. But what should we do if the local army attacks?"
'Kill all the places where supplies can be obtained, and destroy all the places where food can be produced. The conventional crops on this planet have been contaminated, and they cannot eat clean food, so we only need to purify it. And if we land in the wild area, the army will definitely not come quickly. Discuss the plan with the partners of the vanguard team, and purify it gradually from the cross-section. I will take care of the rest.'
'Then I wish Lecturer Li Lin a successful start. If you need support, please contact us directly in the Holy Light Network. The magic constraints here are too severe. In the future, if there is no necessary event, there will be no magic exchange. That's all.'
'Ah, go ahead.'
The consciousness in the sky gradually dissipated, and the townspeople, who were already filled with gray threads, looked at each other in a daze, then looked respectfully at the man who opened his eyes, and lowered their heads in obedience. In the pupils and backs of everyone's heads, a dim mark that was almost identical to the sacred mark behind the white knight's head quietly emerged, meaning that the hearts of these people had long been infected and corrupted, and turned into slaves of strife.
