Chapter 444

After returning, Klein pondered back and forth but still felt something was amiss, so he wrote a letter to "Necromancer" Miss Dai Li, informing her of the captain's condition during the mission!

And he inquired about the captain's actual situation!

He sent out the letter and awaited Miss Dai Li's reply!

The next day...

While investigating the Lan'ewus case, Leonard and Klein discovered a letter.

The letter stated that he had placed a bomb in Tingen which would grow stronger over time, and eventually, could even destroy Tingen!

Just as the two were racking their brains over the meaning of the bomb.

Meigao'ousi, who had been deceived by Lan'ewus into giving up her chastity, arrived at the company.

Klein was just about to activate his Spirit Vision when he suddenly froze entirely.

His spiritual sense stopped him, constantly telling him that looking would mean death!

Cold sweat seeped from Klein's forehead as that spiritual sense frantically warned him, like a nightmare!

He subconsciously looked at Leonard beside him, only to find that Leonard, at this moment, also wore a face full of terror and was dripping with cold sweat!

Clearly, he had noticed it too!

And at this moment, Klein finally understood what the bomb Lan'ewus had placed in Tingen actually was!

It was Meigao'ousi!

It was the child in Meigao'ousi's womb!

At this moment, Klein's scalp went numb.

"Do not look directly upon a god"!

What was in Meigao'ousi's womb was an Evil God!

It was the offspring of an Evil God!

Damn it...

Everything, everything was connected now...

The deaths were for the sake of this Evil God offspring's descent.

The Evil God offspring was constantly gestating, constantly growing stronger, and eventually, would destroy Tingen City!

Thinking of this, Klein's heart became increasingly Solemn...

He turned his head and gave Leonard a glance, signaling him to stabilize Meigao'ousi first.

Immediately after, he hurried into the office to tell the captain his deduction!

Lan'ewus had obtained ritual magic related to the "True Creator" from the Jiguang Society.

With the help of Hu De, the situation gradually improved.

This power would rapidly grow to maturity by leveraging the resentment, suppression, and gloom surrounding the factory!

This was also the reason for the successive deaths of commoners in recent times.

Deng En nodded Solemnly and reported it directly!

Then, he took out the ashes of Saint Celestina.

The two hid by the door, poised and ready to act.

However, just at this moment, Deng En suddenly turned his head and said to Klein, "Dai Li asked me to explain the matter of Cohenli to you myself..."

Immediately after, the captain began to explain!

The Law of Conservation of Supernatural Characteristics: Supernatural characteristics will not be destroyed, will not decrease, but merely transfer from one vessel to another.

In other words, regardless of whether one is a normal Beyonder, upon death, the body will leave behind a mystical item, roughly equivalent to a potion!

A Beyonder can consume it to enhance themselves.

This is the so-called Law of Supernatural Indestructibility!

Of course, Deng En did not consume them to become stronger, because that was far inferior to quickly digesting potions to advance.

He hoped to fight side by side with them and together guard Tingen City.

After he consumed them, these people would appear in Deng En's dreams.

"They are all my companions... We have experienced many things together, dealt with monsters in the darkness and mad cultists together; some saved me, and I saved quite a few of them; we walked through quiet nights, we fought in places unseen by the public, we confronted danger, and we guarded each other's backs."

"I am very reluctant to part with them; I remember little Ete, after experiencing his first dangerous mission, was so terrified that he broke down on the spot and cried!"

"I remember Adelaide; he was Rosan's father, and he once used his arm to block an evil curse for me!"

"I remember Dawn was a Miss with a warm temperament like the morning light, always silently recording everyone's experiences!"

"I remember that although Cohenli was not tall, he knew many things; he could play the seven-stringed zither, sing, and tell stories, more like a poet than Leonard... I am very reluctant to part with them."

"I hope to continue fighting side by side with them, to jointly confront the monsters in the darkness, to execute those mad cultists, and to guard Tingen City together, so, I chose to consume the things they left behind."

"In my dreams, they are still with me; Adelaide loved reading and always stayed in the sunroom to read books; every time he asked me to discipline Rosan and make her mature quickly, so much so that Rosan always complained about how I was becoming more and more like her father, and was always afraid of me!"

"Little Ete was a person who could not stay idle, going hunting in the forest every day; Dawn always stood at the window of her bedroom, watching us chat; the newly joined Cohenli made a seven-stringed zither himself and played and sang there... I am very reluctant to part with them."

Hearing these words, Klein's tears nearly fell...

In the end, he could only sigh.

He finally understood the reason why the captain's Acting Method was progressing so slowly!

He finally understood what the captain was bearing!

However, just at this moment, Meigao'ousi's condition had already begun to deteriorate severely!

She had already started scratching her face, exposing white bone, exposing red gums!

Leonard had already cursed countless times.

If this was not resolved immediately, then Tingen would be directly destroyed!

In another three minutes and 183 seconds, Meigao'ousi would mutate, and her child would be born...

So...

The two went out and, joined by Leonard, engaged her in a fight to the death!

That Megose's "Blasphemous Words" were simply horrifying; mere pressure from them could blast all three away!

No Flame Sun Curse worked!

Yet no matter how desperately they resisted, Megose ultimately held on until...

"Waa!"

A loud infant's wail echoed through the entire block!

That offspring of the evil god possessed power so terrifyingly great that the three were blasted away by an invisible force, crashing into walls until they cracked, bricks scattering everywhere...

In that critical moment, Deng En hesitated not at all; he directly pierced his own chest, seized his heart, withdrew it, and stuffed it into Saint Selena's urn!

When Klein finally regained consciousness, he staggered to his feet and saw that where Megose had stood lay a circle of scorched blackness, with only a bloodstained, coiled umbilical cord remaining on the ground.

He saw the Captain standing in place.

He saw that within Saint Selena's urn, the heart was still beating slowly!

He saw Leonard lying opposite, unconscious and possibly dead.

Is it resolved?

Klein felt a surge of joy; was that offspring of the evil god gone? With only the umbilical cord left, hadn't it been resolved?

At that moment, Deng En slowly turned his head; a relaxed, gentle smile appeared on his pale face as he said, "We have saved Tingen!"

As he spoke, he winked at Klein, just as he had in his youth...

Klein wanted to smile, yet the expression just beginning to rise on his face froze there, for he saw that within Saint Selena's urn, that heart had stopped beating!

Immediately afterward, that heart transformed into brilliant points of light and dissipated into the surroundings!

He saw the Captain's body topple backward, his hands releasing their grip!

"Captain!"

Klein cried out, his vision blurring once more.

He wanted to rush forward, wanted to pick up Saint Selena's urn, yet...

"Puchi!" The sound of something piercing flesh drifted slowly over!

Klein felt only a fierce pain surge through his chest.

His pupils contracted; lowering his gaze, he saw a pale hand that had simply pierced straight through his chest!

It was stained crimson with blood!

A new enemy...

The mastermind behind it all!

Klein's pupils contracted sharply; he wanted to turn and see who it was, yet his consciousness was rapidly scattering, and in the end, he saw only that pair of gleaming leather shoes!
