The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 279: bait

Huge vibrations and sounds reached the industrial area where Sean and others were.

The trackers who had discovered the traces of Sean and others were stunned by the shock.

what happened?

While still in doubt, they saw that the surroundings suddenly turned blood red. The scenery suddenly changed in the abandoned building that was originally located in the industrial area. internal……

The hunt on the hot night has begun...

Sean and the others deliberately leaked their location to lure the pursuers.

Then, taking advantage of the panic caused by the tremor, he suddenly attacked, and the firepower was turned on.

Almost in an instant, these non-threatening pursuers who were originally designed to contain them were eliminated.

After doing this, the group jumped out of the factory building and came to the empty flat ground in front of the factory building.

They stood on guard, recovered their spiritual power, and began to wait.

The massacre in the church district should have killed the enemies including the three Kings.

However, Sean didn't believe that Rabilins would also be killed by water pressure.

With his hands fused with the Philosopher's Stone, he can obliterate existence by his own will, and create it out of thin air...

Even if the "Golden Stone" of the incarnation ceremony was a fake, he couldn't have died so easily.

Here they are, waiting in the open area closest to the church district...

This is where the "Lion Slaughtering Project" was executed after the Wing Slashing Project.

At the end of the defeated chasing team, another person ran over.

Seeing the person coming, Yueguang widened his eyes in surprise, and then frowned in a somewhat contradictory mood.

This last pursuer, with freckles on her face, Moonlight knew, was wearing braces in her unsmiling mouth at the moment—

It's the amiable lady tour guide, Randy.

At this moment, she no longer had that cheerful smile on her face, and stared coldly at the faces of Sean and his party.

Why did she come with the pursuers?

Are all tour guides affiliated with the Ocean City special agency?

Moonlight looked at Sean when Randy appeared.

The New Testament reporter shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, the sound of water splashes sounded not far away.

The person who moved here even brought the seawater that he stubbornly resisted outside his body.

The tall man was half-kneeling at this moment, panting.

The long curly hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, no longer as frantic as before.

The white coat, which symbolized divinity, was tattered, revealing the black fur coat that had accompanied him for many years.

In order to escape the fate of absorbing all his power, Rabilins paid a huge price - his left hand was missing.

Blood dripping.

Rabilins has never been so embarrassed.

However, even so, there was still a light golden shield around him, protecting him.

"So..." He panted, the black blindfold disappeared, his black and one gold eyes raised his eyes to look at Sean, "You know from the beginning...

"This vacant divine position is Kluvitan's bait?"

Sean didn't answer, but Rabilins was right.

Before arriving in Ocean City, Sean had already experienced the behavior of the most powerful old master, the master of big dreams, Kluvitan.

And after learning that the "Hypercube" is Kluvitan's kingdom of God "Laleye", he vaguely pieced together the ins and outs of this incident...

After symbolizing the "Holy Return" of the Holy Father Keen's return to the world, Kluwitan hid in the Wenlan Trench, in his palace, trying not to attract the attention of powerful external gods.

However, he needs faith and sacrificed souls in order to maintain his existence, and find a way to accumulate strength and plan to return to land one day.

Therefore, he, who is well versed in human habits, used the power of "temptation" in this deep sea to create three different forms of bait to harvest souls, harvest beliefs, and gain strength...

First, the first one, the bait used to harvest souls.

The "Vivian's Emerald Necklace" that had been exorcised by Sean.

Like all other old masters, with the merciless passage of time, faith has gradually disappeared, and Kluwitan's power has also declined.

In order to survive, He needs to harvest human souls.

So, in the 17th century, He set his sights on a three-masted sailing ship full of ill-gotten gains - the "Virgin".

He polluted a string of emerald necklaces in the treasure, cast some of his own fragments into it, and then used Vivian's body to impose a curse that made nightmares manifest, causing the ships that crossed the Atlantic Ocean to encounter bad luck. sunk at the bottom of the sea.

However, those souls did not return to the spirit ring, but provided for the Lord of Lalaiye.

The occasional shipwreck of three hundred years did not arouse the vigilance of the people on land, which also allowed Kluwitan to accumulate enough strength to form the second one, aiming at the bait of "faith".

The second bait is the so-called "endless energy" called "Hypercube", which is actually "Laleye".

After the Industrial Revolution, the blooming coal mines and oil fields have revealed the almost crazy greed of human beings for energy.

And Kluwitan realized that if humans were provided with an illusion of "endless energy", they would inevitably come to this uninhabited North Atlantic Ocean to develop...

Then, "Ocean City" was born logically.

With the rise of cities and the influx of immigrants, Kluwitan was able to use his own means to corrupt those "little gods" who are now quite weak.

Including Melinas, the twelve modern gods were controlled by Him.

After manipulating Fuller Verne and letting the "Utopia" or "United Church" take root in Ocean City, with the help of the twelve modern gods corrupted by him, he was able to harvest the power of faith.

At that time, the vision of the "undersea church" that Sean saw at the New Testament, Melinas' service, actually demonstrated this fact.

Later, in the cathedral of the Utopia, when I saw the symbol of the twelve modern gods being bound, what was going on became even more obvious.

After having his own followers, Kluwitan didn't stop there.

In order to gain power, He prepared a third bait——

The vacant supreme divine position in the Utopia.

He knew that from the perspective of human habits, arrogant human beings with a certain amount of power would definitely covet that vacant divine position.

In fact, that vacant divine position was never vacant.

After sitting in the false "vacancy", Kluwitan waited for the stupid human who coveted the throne to offer his strength.

Like a lantern fish that hunts in the deep sea.

Together with greed, Rabilins has become the prey of a more powerful being.

He could not have been a **** from the beginning.

Sean and Alicia used a stratagem, and through Alicia's death, Labillins Pompeii believed that what was in the cryptex was the Philosopher's Stone of all stocks.

In fact, the Philosopher's Stone in the cipher cylinder has long been lost, and a small number of Philosopher's Stones are stored in it.

The "God-enchantment Ceremony" on the bright side was actually the ceremony that conveyed power to Kluwitan, and it failed to show all its power because the key sacrifice was false.

Kluwitan, who was still accumulating power, missed the opportunity to gain enormous power.

The Lord of the Great Dream must be extremely angry.

However, if He takes any action, it will be discovered by Holy Father Keene.

Then the hundreds of years of dormancy would be meaningless.

Therefore, Kluvitan still has to rely on agents, such as Fuller Verne, to execute some things.

Therefore, one could only watch the ceremony die prematurely.

However, although he missed all the power of the Philosopher's Stone, at least he still has a chance to take the power of Rabilins himself.

The president of the Foundation, who was framed, faced the ritual of not showing his full strength due to his premature death, and paid for his arm and all the Philosopher's Stones in exchange for his escape.

Rabilins, who was completely awake due to the icy waters, the tragic death of his subordinates, and his escape from the dead ~lightnovelpub.net~ naturally understood everything after this, and asked the question just now:

"So, you know from the beginning...

"This vacant divine position is Kluvitan's bait?"

Rabilins is not a stupid chess player. In the game against Sean and Alicia, he had a few chances to come back.

And, logically speaking, he shouldn't have been unaware that the overly obvious vacancy was a bait.

However, his eyes were blinded by the desire for power and godhood.

Therefore, this is the end.

"So, this failure is because of my arrogance..." Rabilins took a deep breath and stood up.

Randy, the tour guide on the side, suddenly spoke up, and the tone and tone of her speech made Moonlight show an extremely shocked expression—

It was obviously Alicia Pompeii speaking.

While "Randy" was talking, he took off his wig and took off his false braces. Although he still wore freckles, his green eyes flickered like cat pupils: "Not only because of arrogance...

"Because of cruelty."

The reappearance of the female chess player completely shocked Yueguang.
