Chapter 262: Class Reunion

When the storm strikes, only then do the seaside residents realize they were not prepared.

The existence of the Mirror Demon has truly shattered certain balances and tacit understandings, exposing the evil creatures lurking in the shadows to ordinary citizens.

"We should seal off the Mirror Demon! The existence of the Beasts must not be exposed like this."

Beasts and Beast-kin are two sides of the same coin; merely knowing the related knowledge and mysteries would create quite terrifying destabilizing factors and negative impacts on the entire Beast-kin society.

"Can we still hide it now? We have entered the Magic Tide phase; the Beasts are destined to become our enemies. Contrary to previous methods, we should popularize a certain degree of knowledge about the Beasts within a safe range."

The "knowledge" of both Beast-kin and Outer Gods is toxic, but the direction of the toxicity is completely different.

"Have you forgotten the massacre in Dongnan City, and the Star Kingdom that has fallen into the Black Forest to this day? Spreading knowledge about the Beasts on a large scale is absolutely impossible! Absolutely!"

Tracing their bloodline origins is an instinct for Beast-kin; breaking away from morality and humanity to restore bestiality is a longing and an uncontrollable desire. Acquiring knowledge in this regard is like a "guide."

It implies a possibility and a direction; thus, some Beast-kin who cannot stop will floor the accelerator, completely falling into bestiality.

"With just a little trigger, one can become an uncontrollably powerful being, transforming directly from an ordinary person into a high-level transcendent. How many people can resist such temptation?"

This world is obviously unfair, and if this knowledge spreads everywhere, it will be more terrifying than everyone holding guns in the Year of Disaster.

What the sufferers, the desperate, the ambitious, the enslavers, and the enslaved will do is enough to make one despair just thinking about it.

Knowledge about the Beasts has always been strictly controlled; this is a lesson from history.

Countless ambitious ones who tried to "take shortcuts" met quite tragic ends.

Short-term gains often lead to a great collapse in the end; this is a lesson from history. If spread in large quantities, it will naturally cause social tremors leading to the collapse of the entire nation.

In the face of frenzied bestiality, the light of humanity is easily extinguished.

"They are also using this opportunity to propagate."

"Missionaries have appeared in many regions; they carry signs and flyers saying 'The End Times Are Upon Us' and 'The Day of Return Has Come,' propagating everywhere."

"Order the Knights to take action and stop these missionaries."

"It's difficult. The commoners in the dock district live very hard lives, and the slaves even more so."

In times of chaos, various cultists naturally appear.

But this time, accompanying the strike of the underground world's gladiators was the full-scale assault of numerous hidden forces within the City of Radiance; the Beast Cult has operated in this city for far too long.

They will be the result of the collapse of social order, and can also become the cause of the collapse of morality and law, but reality is a bit better than what these noble lords imagine.

"Any believer spreading faith other than the Shanshen Sect is to be regarded directly as a cultist, and the Evil-Cleaving Slash is permitted immediately!"

The dock district, originally expected to be the worst, where cultists and rioters should have permeated everywhere, actually held firm this time.

After a former assassin turned female police officer sensed something was wrong, she directly contacted the local "underworld boss," and the first to move turned out to be the Bone-Breaker Gang of the dock district; the dock district police station simply could not be relied upon.

Under Dimon's leadership, the "Weaver Knights" set out directly.

With the cooperation of some constables, the extremely rare "Commoner Paladin Order" took over law enforcement in certain areas.

"Scout for evil!"

"Trial in the Realm of Sin!"

"Crimson-red evildoers! Taste my Evil-Cleaving Slash!"

Yes, this is the Paladins' consistent method of law enforcement.

In chaotic areas, do not expect them to be very rule-abiding.

Were there accidental killings? Of course, and most were accidental; the evildoers in the dock district are more numerous than ants in an anthill.

But for the Paladins, since they are already crimson-red evildoers, with both "morality" and "crimes" flashing red lights, naturally they strike first and ask questions later.

They certainly encountered great resistance; although the dock district is small and chaotic, there are indeed many monsters and demons.

And if powerful evil appears...

"Evil! Accept the judgment of the Divine Fire!"

Accompanied by a roar, a flaming spear pierced the sky and fell like a meteor.

"Boom!"

A series of explosions, accompanied by the burning of the Divine Fire, turned the resistors into ash.
