Chapter 425: Under the Radiance (Please Subscribe)

Above the Municipal Square.

A gentleman took out a pocket watch and saw the hour hand pointing to the area between 10 and 11 o'clock.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a group of Sun Church personnel, dressed in pure white religious robes and wearing accessories such as gold-crafted sun emblems, walked into the square with solemn expressions and ascended the high platform.

Behind them, two Suppression Bureau agents, nearly two meters tall and covered entirely in a pitch-black, armored substance, were escorting a pale-faced, middle-aged man with blonde hair, binding him to an iron cross.

A white-haired Sun Cleric was loudly reading out his crimes: "Mirabo Kexi... using the profession of a private doctor as a cover, secretly stealing human organs, studying demonic scriptures..."

"No, no... I was only researching special herbal remedies, I only wanted to save more people... My heart is toward the Light, I have never harmed a single person, I have saved many, please, I beg you..."

In the Main World, a single Non-human Existence can support an entire secret society.

The elderly white-robed Cleric gazed at Mirabo Kexi and asked calmly.

Mirabo Kexi had already tasted the flavor of mob judgment; under the pointing fingers of the crowd, he could not help but lower his head: "I... I plead guilty, please, great Sun God, forgive me... Wuu... I repent, I don't want to die..."

The elderly Cleric watched this scene calmly and said loudly: "The Lord grants us radiance! Under the radiance, there is no shadow, nor is there mercy!"

"Is he a heretic?"

Keni reminded him.

Yet in the Third History, Non-human combat power has simply become something that can be mass-produced on an assembly line!

Mirabo Kexi screamed, burn marks appearing on his body.

Aaron subconsciously shook his head: "Don't I know the Mysterious System? There is always a price for the Extraordinary... Where does the energy for Colonized Armor activity come from? How is the pollution problem solved?"

In the Invis Empire, everyone is a believer of the Sun Church; failing to follow the crowd immediately makes one very conspicuous.

Below, Aaron was interested in the two people wearing the strange Colonized Armor.

Aaron fell silent.

"The backbone of the Suppression Bureau? Non-human combat power?"

"Sinner! Do you plead guilty and repent for it?"

"How truly boring..."

Above the square, everyone—regardless of whether they were a gentleman, lady, butcher, doctor, lawyer, or worker—was shouting with a fanatical look on their faces.

The old Cleric finished his final prayer, walked into the ashes, and bent down to pick up a crystalline Extraordinary Legacy.

In the Suppression Bureau's black-clad squad, Baldwin yawned boredly: "In the bureau's archives, during that initial period, every such public execution would attract other blasphemers... By now, such fools have become fewer and fewer."

"Let's go."

But not a single person in the surrounding crowd pitied him; instead, they shouted: "Burn him! Burn the heretic!"

"Under the radiance, there is no shadow! There is no mercy!"

"I don't know, but it is a fact that the Empire has put the 'Colonizer' type of humanoid weapon into large-scale combat... Otherwise, those large societies wouldn't have been forced into such a miserable state, either wiped out or forced to flee far away." Keni shook her head.

Even Sharuke seemed to be oppressed by this awe-inspiring momentum of killing, involuntarily lowering his head.

"Hmm, that's true... Eh?"

On the high platform, the old Cleric continued to read the list of crimes in a leisurely manner.

This contrast is the industrialization of the Mysterious world crushing a small-scale peasant economy!

They did not gag the blasphemer, appearing extremely confident, believing they could control everything.

"May the Sun forgive your soul..."

Another woman in a trench coat with long legs applied nail polish and replied with a coquettish laugh.

"Hurry up, follow along and shout!"

In this world, his compatriots might be destined to be slaves for a lifetime!

Aaron, at this moment, looked up toward the high platform.

The gap between the two sides had become so large that it was impossible to catch up!

Keni trembled slightly: "It is said that this kind of 'Colonized Armor' is the most outstanding work of the 'Alchemists'; they have placed Extraordinary power directly into the hands of ordinary people! Ordinary people only need to put on the Colonized Armor to gain power comparable to a Non-human... achieving the feat of mass-producing 'Non-humans'!"

"This is a matter of course... Now those remaining survivors have mostly fled to the New Continent, but it is useless. With the victory of the Imperial Army, the entire South Innis Continent will sooner or later fall under the control of the Empire. Once a strict rule is established there as well, those rats who only know how to hide in the sewers will have nowhere to hide."

Using ordinary people to surround and kill a Non-human Existence—not to mention a one-for-one trade, even a five-for-one or ten-for-one trade, the Empire would absolutely not be at a loss!

He looked toward Keni.

He kept twisting his body, but this only brought him more pain.

Baldwin looked at the three people leaving the square and suddenly gave a soft 'eh': "Their actions are somewhat abnormal; that native slave's eyes don't look much like those of a tamed slave... And that young man, he did not bow his head to the Cleric."

The surrounding temperature kept rising, baking the air until it distorted.

Aaron sighed and left with Sharuke and Keni.

Even though there were no flames, heat waves kept sweeping in all directions.

"Yes... you might find it hard to believe, but those 'Colonizers' are all ordinary people, yet after putting on the 'Colonized Armor', they possess power, speed, and Mysterious resistance comparable to a Non-human Existence! Even a true Non-human Existence can potentially be besieged to death by them!"

Aaron looked up, feeling that the sun seemed to have become even brighter.

"Ah!!!"

Amidst the fanatical atmosphere of the crowd, time slowly reached noon.

An ordinary person, after training and putting on the Colonized Armor, possesses destructive power at the Non-human Grade!

This is a quite terrifying thing.

His skin began to peel off, revealing large blisters... Finally, pure white flames emerged from within his body, erupting from his facial features, turning his entire person into a pile of ashes.

Mirabo Kexi was bound to the cross by iron chains, loudly screaming, crying, and begging for mercy...

Because the opponent is an Empire, vast in scale and rich in resources, unafraid of the death of ordinary soldiers!

And for secret societies, the Fourth Primordial Substance is absolutely middle-to-high level; losing even one is a blow to their foundation and very difficult to make up for.

If it were purely a matter of who could afford to lose more people, the Empire has a population of hundreds of millions, while the Secret Society has only a few members?

This disparity in strength is enough to make anyone feel despair!

Sure enough, after Keni explained it in detail, especially after describing the power and rapid development of the "Colonizer"... Aaron was not much affected, but Sharuke was already full of despair, his body even trembling slightly.

"Let the radiance of the sun perform Purification on the Demon!"

Light!

A massive amount of white light gathered, like a spotlight, falling upon the iron execution platform.

The crowd present all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the cross burning the sinner any longer.

"This is impossible..."

"Send someone to follow them and check their Identity Cards; perhaps we might have a small harvest..."

The second update will be later.
