Shortly after the swarm launched an action and destroyed the Church of Evolution's stronghold and "altar" in Port King.
At the end of the forest sea, in the land conquered and occupied by demons in the northern part of the plain, a ruined city full of demons welcomed a special guest.
This man was covered in a black cloak, but the cloak on his back was conspicuously torn with several symmetrical oval holes. He hurriedly walked towards the cemetery in the city, surrounded by a large group of demons and monsters.
I walked by him casually as if I didn't see him.
Without any obstruction from demons and monsters, the mysterious man in black cloak quickly arrived at his destination, which was the cemetery where No. 2 and others had been before.
He threw a translucent blue chip towards the cemetery gate. The moment the chip passed through the cemetery gate, a blue humanoid shadow appeared in front of him.
"No. 1?! Why did you come here in person? Over at King's Harbor..."
"Something happened in King's Port! Our strongholds and holy places have been uprooted!"
No. 1 frowned, a worried expression written on his face under the cloak.
Hearing his words, No. 7's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What?! What the hell is going on? I saw No. 2 a few days ago, why now...who did it?
Is it the council? Or did the devil discover your identity?"
"It's not the parliament, it's not the devil, it's an enemy I made in the rainforest..."
Number 1 shook his head and was unwilling to elaborate. He just walked past the shadow and walked toward the secret underground passage that opened behind the tombstone.
"Stop talking outside, that guy may have remote surveillance methods."
"Okay..." Although No. 7 had a lot of questions to ask, he also knew that now was not the time.
If the strength of the enemy mentioned by No. 1 really reaches the level of overturning the entire church structure in Port King, then they must be careful here.
Although Tristram has a natural barrier of an army of demon clones, the demons here do not really listen to their orders. The master of Tristram is the Black Mad Lord Leoric.
It has been since he was human a long time ago until now.
So he also directly erased the projected image, and the real body welcomed No. 1 into the stronghold. After both of them sat down, No. 7 started to ask questions with a hint of panic.
"What's going on? How did the stronghold of King's Port be discovered? And even the Holy Land was found by the enemy. Where did your enemy come from?"
"The discovery of the stronghold and the Holy Land should be the reason for No. 2. He has never gone back since he left you. I suspect that he has been arrested by my enemy."
Number 1 said in a serious tone.
"You mean...No. 2 rebelled?!
But how is this possible? We all know that Number 2 is the most devoted to God in the church besides you. How could he betray the church?
This doesn’t make sense!”
No. 7 heard the meaning of No. 1's words, and retorted with a bit of incredulity in his tone.
"It really doesn't make sense, but my rival...hey! He's not a guy who can explain things according to common sense!
When I was working under the Demon God, I once heard that this guy actually instigated the rebellion of two die-hard members of the Spencer family, and one of them was even a top level 99 legendary powerhouse!
As a result, the three hell demons had to give up trusting the members of the Spencer family and took back their family privileges.
Even hell loyalists like the Spencer family can instigate rebellion. Although I believe in No. 2’s loyalty to the church, I’m afraid..."
"The guy who instigated old Randall's rebellion against the Spencer family...is that your enemy?
Your opponent is Xue Hua?!"
Listening to his words, No. 7 felt like a basin of cold water was poured down on his head. It was really chilling!
"Huh? You actually know him?" Now it was No. 1's turn to be surprised. He knew that Xue Hua was killed entirely because Mephisto asked him to assassinate him. Only then did he realize that Xue Hua was unusual and started to pay attention.
.
In the past few years, No. 1 has been affected by the brainwashing effect of genetic agents. He has devoted all his energy to developing the Church of Evolution and completing the third "divine art". He is not as concerned about information from the outside world as other evolutionaries.
.
That's why he felt extremely weird that No. 7 knew Xue Hua's name.
"I don't know him, but of course I know him!
Oh my God! The God of Evolution is here again! This guy’s reputation has spread throughout the first world!
A necromancer of over thirty levels killed the demon Mephisto's clone alone!
Who would believe this kind of thing?! After all, there is a level difference of nearly seventy levels!
Not to mention that the other party is a demon!
But this guy just did it! And there are a bunch of legendary professional bosses behind him to testify for him!
I heard that the commander of the Demon Slayer Legion recommended him to skip the trial in the Demon Fortress and go directly to Harrogath to prepare for contact with the World Stone!
This guy's name has been spread everywhere these days, and even the guy under the imperial mausoleum knows about his deeds!
How could I not know?"
"What?! You said he single-handedly killed Mephisto's clone?!
How is this possible?! I even assassinated him back then! If he could kill Mephisto's clone, how could I escape alive from him twice?"
Number 1 stared at Number 7 in front of him with wide eyes, as if he wanted to hear him say that this was just a joke.
However, No. 1's worried eyes quickly dispelled all his chances of luck, and the entire underground stronghold fell into silence for a moment.
After a long time, No. 7 asked No. 1 in a hoarse voice: "Then, what should we do now?"
Although the stronghold in King's Harbor is not large, it contains four of the top ten Evolutionaries. Those are the most essential part of the Evolutionary Church. Now that they have suddenly lost this power, it can be said that they have now fallen into a very passive state.
situation.
"We must recapture the sanctuary under King's Harbor. Everything else is easy to talk about, but if we lose the sanctuary, we will lose the necessary sources of materials for performing divine magic..."
No. 1 said decisively.
If the Evolved One is gone, it can be re-created. As long as he is still alive, this will not be a problem.
But without the sanctuary, they lost the most important source of materials for performing transformation surgery, which was the most fatal to them.
"What?! Are you crazy? The necromancer over at King's Harbor must have opened a dragnet and wait for us! If we go back now, just with our few people? Even if we call back all the brothers in other cities, we will definitely
You are throwing yourself into a trap!"
No. 7 looked at No. 1 with an expression that looked like a lunatic. Their strength had just suffered a heavy blow, and if they go back now, they will definitely be killed.
"Of course it's impossible for us alone, but if we can successfully borrow some help from someone here, I believe the chance should be pretty good..."
There was a cold expression on No. 1's face under his cloak. The Sanctuary was an important guarantee that they could never lose. No matter what, he had to recapture the Sanctuary.
At least, we must get the "holy object" in the sanctuary so that the Evolutionary Church can continue to develop.
"Borrowing help?" No. 7 frowned, and then a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face.
"You want to release Leoric?! Are you crazy?! It can't appear in this world! The catastrophe will drive it back to hell the moment it appears!
Diavolo will definitely notice something is wrong by then, and once it starts to investigate the evil consortium, we won't be able to hide it!"
"Who said we should release it completely? We only need to loosen the seal of the crown a little, so that it can project the clone to the outside world, and then send the crown to King's Port. That brainless skeleton fool will naturally
He will act on our behalf..."
There was a gloomy sneer on the face of No. 1 under his cloak. He had already thought of this plan on the way out of King's Port and came here.
