Chapter 785: Welcome to

Although the saint has come, Duanmu Huai is not afraid. The reason why the other party chose this future is probably because this world has almost no magic power and cannot use magic. So of course, guys who need magic power like servants cannot Survived.

 But... to the judge, is this a problem?

 Do you want me to tell you why my name is Little Hammer? Let me smash your head in?

 Fortunately, although it was in the descending form of the saint, Lumiare's terminal was still there, so Duanmu Huai also turned off the phone decisively, woke up Lumiare, and explained the current situation to her.

I have to say that after listening to Duanmu Huai’s story, Lumière was also very confused.

"Uh...so this is you? Mr. Inquisitor?"

"Of course, what, do you have any opinion? Can't I have an innocent girl's heart?"

 “That’s not what I meant...well, it’s okay.”

 Lumière decisively chose to change the subject.

“So, what are we going to do now, Mr. Inquisitor?”

 “Very simple, completely destroy the world.”

As the God of Destruction - Oh, the Saint of the God of Destruction, Duanmuhuai said that the goal remains unchanged and he will continue to proceed according to the plan.

 “Total destruction of the entire world?”

"Yes, what we are currently in is not a stable world, but an illusory future. The other party wants to fix this future and then connect it to the past, so that Chaldea will perish in the future - well, In any case, the other party’s time manipulation was quite skillful, and it indeed added a quite classic case to the Inquisition.”

Duanmuhuai silently wrote it down. Although this crisis only involves one planet, he has to admit that this method of trying to destroy human beings by interfering in the past and future is indeed very interesting. Of course, this kind of trick is basically useless against the Chaos Evil God, because it involves the timeline of the entire galaxy, and Duanmu Huai doesn't have this ability, even if it's treacherous and cunning - probably only Yog-Sothoth can do it. done.

 “Need to call for ground attack?”

“No, this timeline is very fragile and there is no way to summon battleships, so we need to investigate here and then completely find out the means to destroy this world.”

Hmm...Why does this sound like the final BOSS?

But it doesn’t seem to be bad.

 “I understand, but your Lord Judge...”

"Um?"

 “Do you have to dress like this?”

The reason why Lumière was speechless was because of Duanmu Huai's current attire, the system read his game character data, so of course, Duanmu Huai was now using his in-game equipment. Currently, Duanmuhuai's Saint is equipped with synthetic skin - simply put, it is a black tights similar to Catwoman's, which gives him the look of an assassin. Of course, this set of synthetic skin is not only cool, it can also completely defend and withstand bullet attacks. In addition, Duanmu Huai is also equipped with a rose rosary to release the void shield. Of course, this is normal.

 But the problem is - he is also wearing a cloak outside.

 Pink, furry, with a bunny-shaped hood, and two long ears that jump up and down.

 Looking really cute.

 “Don’t underestimate this cloak, it...”

“I personally suggest that Mr. Inquisitor would be better off choosing equipment that is less conspicuous.”

"Oh well."

Although Lumière's tone was polite, the strong sense of disgust in it was obvious, so Duanmu Huai sighed silently and changed the pink bunny suit into a white cloak.

 “Hey, that’s the only bad thing about playing games online with people you know in real life...”

Humbling helplessly, Duanmuhuai turned around and walked out of the dark alley, looked around, and then frowned slightly.

 It was already afternoon, and the whole street looked very lively, with flashing neon lights everywhere and crowds of people coming and going... However, for Duanmu Huai, this scene was not a good one.

“Ah, this **** place reminds me of the hive.”

Looking at the street in front of him, Duanmuhuai snorted. Indeed, there were flashing neon lights everywhere, but the walls of these buildings were full of graffiti, which looked extremely dirty.

People were coming and going on the street, but almost no normal person could be seen - their bodies had obviously been transformed. With just a glance, Duanmuhuai could see that some of them had hands and feet made of steel. , some people's eyes even look like glowing cameras, and everyone has a card reader-like socket in their ears. Most of these people are in rags and dirty clothes, and they look like a group of street kids.

Ah, this reminded Duanmu Huai of the lower levels of the hive city, those mutants, veterans and gangsters wearing dilapidated biochemical bodies, and the **** gene stealers...

 The only thing that is better about this place than the Nest City is that at least you can see the blue sky and white clouds when you raise your head, and it won't be so oppressive that people can't breathe.

“Lumiel, scan these guys to see what they are.”

 Duanmu Huai doesn't care that he will be noticed, because the equipment he wears - whether it is the pink rabbit just now or the white robe now, has special shielding ability. Otherwise, with the appearance of Duanmuhuai Sage, I might just turn into a superstar while walking on the street.

 “I understand... Huh? Is this...?”

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Lumière’s surprise, Duanmu Huai asked curiously.

"Report to the Inquisitor, these people... are no longer pure humans. According to the scan results, each of them has undergone some kind of transformation on themselves, and they are even connected to the brain through mechanical nerve ports... There is really no To think that there is such a world..."

Even Lumière was surprised. Although there were similar transformations in their world, not everyone could use them. Nanomechanical fusions like Lumière and Eclair are even more secrets among secrets, and most of the other modified people are affiliated with the military or high-level government officials.

 In her world, most ordinary people will not be able to reform. After all, they don't have the ability or the funds.

 But in this world...even beggars on the street have implants in their bodies!

 What is going on in this world?

 “Tsk, tsk, tsk, those oil guys will definitely like this world.”

 Duanmu Huai has no special likes or dislikes about human body modification itself. Of course, personally, he still doesn’t like things like human body modification implants. However, that group of machine guys is obviously not like this. Many people are even so crazy that they replace all parts of their bodies with machines except their heads - well, after all, they are immediately recognized as aliens after replacing their skulls.

 To be honest, this feels more like the foundry world of some motor oil guy to Duanmuhuai.

Obviously, the world has become highly networked. Network interfaces and terminals can be seen everywhere on the streets. Duanmuhuai found a terminal and let Lumire invade, and soon learned about the situation in this world. .

 According to the history of this world, in the not too distant past, climate change caused instability in various countries, the rise of giant multinational corporations, and various conflicts and wars. All in all, after a series of wars, the world is now devastated, with conflicts and killings everywhere. People are immersed in dreams of life and death, and have either become wandering wanderers, slaves of multinational corporations, or poor people or gangs at the bottom elements.

All in all, in today's world, multinational corporations have become entities that can stand on an equal footing with the country. They can even be considered to have their own territory, their own army, and manufacture their own weapons... Well, in Duanmu Huai's view, this group of capitalists should be looked down upon. Die on a streetlight.

“… Such a world is really uncomfortable…”

 After searching for information, Lumière also sighed in a low voice.

"In our galaxy, there are people on some planets who live a similar life. Although they do not have implants, they are still squeezed by big companies and high-level governments, and they can only live a miserable life every day. But many times, we There’s nothing you can do about it.”

Of course Duanmuhuai knew what Lumière was talking about. He still remembered that when the two came to the Tribunal, Lumière said that the reason for their escape was because of a failed mission. At that time, they were sent to suppress the rebellion, but after arriving at the place, Lumière and Eclair discovered that the top government officials and large companies there were working together to exploit the civilians, and even sent troops to suppress the other party's protests.

Eclair, who couldn't bear to see it, chose to resist and defeated the army that suppressed the people. The rioting people also rushed into the Governor's Palace, and the latter finally escaped.

Of course, the governor of the planet was also very angry about this, so he directly reported the two of them - I asked you to suppress the riot, but you turned against me?

As a result, Eclair and Lumière were hunted by the organization, and finally escaped to the Tribunal.

 Because of this, it is normal for Lumière to have deep emotions about this scene.

“So, we must completely eliminate this future.”

"But what to do? According to the information I retrieved, some people even detonated nuclear bombs at their headquarters in order to resist these large companies, but..."

“This is of course useless. A simple armed attack is nothing more than the work of terrorists and is meaningless.”

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"But now, let's take it step by step... By the way, Lumière, what is the name of this city?"

 “City of Night.”
