Chapter 35: The Duke

In front of the two-story building, Kain looked around. At this time, he was suffering 20 to 35 points of soul damage per second, as well as this negative state called "turbidity". The duration of the negative state was determined based on the enemy's physical attributes.

time.

This disgusting state will not kill anyone. The stronger the enemy, the stronger it will be. On the contrary, the weaker the enemy, the weaker it will be. No matter what kind of enemy it faces, it will leave the opponent with a chance to survive.

Kain couldn't figure out who could have this ability, but compared to this, he wanted to leave here more at the moment.

Kaiin suddenly broke free from the shackles of his body and transformed into the ghost king state. He divided into countless dark soul skeletons and scattered around.

Kain turned into tens of thousands of dark soul skeletons and scattered around, while the snow monsters ran away into the distance.

On the top of a high tower half a kilometer away, Sias, who was standing on the guardrail, jumped down, and in mid-air, he turned into intertwined and twisting black tentacles. The next moment, he was near the second-story building.

Returning to his original appearance, as soon as he arrived here, his eyes gradually became serious.

"vomit."

Sinyas was obviously holding his breath, but he still felt an indescribable stench coming towards him.

The sudden appearance of Sias made the running snow monster nervous, but then he thought about it, compared to Kain, the enemy would definitely not chase him.

The snow monster turned around to look, and saw Sias jumping on the roof from behind.

Obviously, the snow monster is overthinking. First of all, Sias and Kain have no hatred. Secondly, Su Xiao and Wood did not say they must get rid of Kain before the plan started. Finally, the church slate is not in Kain's hands.

, but at the Duke's.

As a result, Kain, whose strength exceeds the eighth level of the top echelon, is not the first choice for chasing. The snow monster obviously does not understand the behavior of good teammates. He must be unambiguous when it is time to fight, but at this time, it must be a challenge.

A soft persimmon.

The two-story building shattered suddenly, causing smoke and dust to spread everywhere. The indescribable stench that permeated the surrounding area has disappeared.

Click, click~

A steady, mechanical sound of trampling the ground came, and a figure with red eyes walked out of the smoke. The man was wearing a dark golden robe. After emerging from the smoke, he took off the hood on his head, revealing a picture of

The face composed of metal mechanical components looks like a duke at first glance, but compared to before, some facial details have changed.

The Duke's electronic eyes scanned the surrounding area, emitting the unique sound of the operation of precision electronic components. Finally, his sight locked on the top of a small church, where a figure was standing.

The mechanical core on the Duke's chest glowed red. As the temperature increased, the dark golden robe on his body ignited and scattered, revealing his torso. The alloy ribs were very tight, and the wires and prosthetic organs inside were exposed.

The circulatory system is protected.

On the roof of the chapel, Su Xiao jumped off the roof, her eyes always staring at the Duke who was more than ten meters away in front of him.

"Chosen one, I can't think of any other motive for you other than this slate."

The Duke's alloy torso unfolded part of it, and he took out the church stone slab from inside.

"I don't want to fight with you yet. This is a slate that means nothing to me. I'll give it to you."

As the Duke spoke, he threw out the slate in his hand.

Zheng!

The blue light flashed away, and the flying slate was cut into two pieces. A few electric sparks shot out and then fell to the ground. From the cross section, the electronic structure inside could be clearly seen. This was not a church slate.

It is an electromagnetic explosive bomb made in the shape of a church stone slab.

Although Su Xiao is not very good at technology, it is different if it is technology explosives. As a hunter in Samsara Paradise, he may not be good at other things, but the identification of various types of explosives must be of the same level.

top notch.

It's not that Su Xiao has a hobby to specialize in this area, but when he meets an opponent in the same paradise, if he is a little careless, the enemy may take out an explosive before death. If he is not proficient in this area, he would have been bombed long ago.

die.

A vague sense of danger came from the front. In Su Xiao's perception, the Duke's attack methods were sharper than those of the Chorus. Although it was not as perverted as the Wolf Knight Captain, it was still

Not too different.

This is very abnormal. Although the Duke's strength is not weak, when he was in the high-walled city, the Duke was comprehensively strong. But at this time, the Duke's aura was completely different.

Su Xiao took out a test tube, held it in his hand and crushed it. With a click, the red powder scattered and dissipated in the air.

"Poison? You actually want to use poison to deal with me. This is... ridiculous."

The Duke spoke in a synthesized electronic voice, seemingly taunting Su Xiao, but in fact he was testing.

"Use your brain that has been replaced by prosthetic tissue to think carefully about why the Duke lost to you and failed so completely."

It was rare for Su Xiao to speak before a battle. Not only that, he didn't even draw his sword.

In this situation, if the enemy knew Su Xiao well enough, he would only make two choices: turn around and run away, or attack and kill him immediately. Su Xiao, who had always been silent in the battle, did not even draw his sword at this time, and even spoke.

This in itself is something to be wary of.

After hearing what Su Xiao said, the powerful enemy on the opposite side suddenly stopped talking.

"Let me change the question, why did the Duke escape from this body? This is his body. He has transformed it for decades, from a flesh and blood body to the current state."

"you……"

As soon as the powerful enemy on the opposite side opened his mouth, his red electronic eyes flashed.

"Let's change the question again. With the Duke's temper, why would he let go of the heir who disobeyed him? What qualifications does his eldest son named Crank have to be his enemy? Even if I am secretly supporting him, Crank is not qualified.

Enemies the Duke."

When Su Xiao said these words, the powerful enemy opposite made a strange clicking sound all over his body.

"Last question, guess why I'm telling you all this nonsense."

Su Xiao walked forward as he spoke, and pulled out a long knife on the way. The reason why he said this was to deliberately delay time for the catalyst to take effect.

The long knife in Su Xiao's hand pierced the chest of the 'Duke' in a stable and unquestionable manner. No, it should have pierced the chest of the Iron Apostle, thus penetrating his core.

"you……"

The Steel Apostle's mechanical body made a rattling sound. He wanted to drive the body, but this body, which was mainly made of alloy, had begun to rust. Some parts were even rusted to the point of weathering, turning into red dust and flying everywhere.

The Iron Apostle never understood until his death that he had just been dormant for many years, but why the world had changed so drastically that within a few days of waking up, he closed his eyes forever.

[Tip: You have killed the Iron Apostle.]

[You get 11% of the source of the world.]

【You get the mechanical core (half loss).】

[You obtain the Steel Badge (Sinner Badge).]



Seeing the last prompt, Su Xiao was confused. He really didn't expect that he could get the Sinner's Badge by killing the Iron Apostle.

As one of the five founders of the High Wall City and one of the twelve senior leaders of the Old Healing Church, the Iron Apostle represents sinners? He should rather represent steel or machinery.

Su Xiao had a guess that the sinner badge was different from other badges. Other badges represented status. Holding the badge meant that the owner of the badge had recognized it, and thus could receive corresponding resources at the treatment center.

The Sinner's Badge is different, it has the meaning of offering a reward.

This is not Su Xiao's random guess. He has seen it in the exchange list before. [Wolf Knight Badge] can be exchanged for wolf blood, [Hunter Badge] can be exchanged for Skill Soul Dark, and [Outlier Warrior Badge] can be exchanged for Liang

The soul blood of a group of warriors corresponds to this.

Different from these, the Sinner Badge can be exchanged for the Origin Stone·Chaos Fire. The Iron Apostle is not directly related to the Origin Stone·Chaos Fire. This Origin Stone is more like a wanted reward given by the old church.

From this point of view, during the old church period, the Iron Apostles were expelled from the Healing Church and were still called sinners.

When the High Wall City was subsequently established, the Iron Apostles established the Steam God Cult, which was opposed to the concept of the Healing Church. If the current situation had not made the existence of the Steam God Cult so necessary, the Archbishop and the Holy Priest would definitely take action and try to wipe it out.

.

At the end of the Age of Gods, which was the peak period of the Healing Church, the Iron Apostle, as one of the twelve senior leaders of the Healing Church, held a high position of authority until he decided to go independent.

In fact, this is inevitable. The Iron Apostle has always wanted to develop towards technology. However, he is a member of the Healing Church. No one cares about how he transforms himself. But he cannot claim that his flesh and blood are weak and weak in the Healing Church. Healing Church’s stigmata and spiritual practice

That is body and soul.

Everyone else used the stigmata to strengthen their bodies and souls. The Iron Apostle suddenly proposed the concept of giving up the body. More importantly, the Iron Apostle himself gave up his flesh and blood and no one cared about it. He also asked his subordinates to do the same.

If Death Silence hadn't completely erupted at that time, the Iron Apostle would most likely have died. What is certain is that the Iron Apostle who was frantically transforming himself at that time was no longer normal.

In the Age of Disaster, there are only five of the twelve senior members of the old church left. Among them, Madam Snake is still severely damaged in battle and can bear heavy responsibilities. Only four of them are left. Although the Iron Apostle among them is considered a sinner, at that time, there will naturally be no

People mention it again.

After the High Wall City was established, the Iron Apostles finally established the Steam God Cult. Seeing this, the Archbishop, the Holy Priest, the Snake Lady, and the old monster conspired to trick the Iron Apostles into besieging the God of Sin.

As a result, under the deliberate care of these four people, although the Iron Apostle did not die, his mechanical core was seriously damaged and he has been sleeping since then. This made the Iron Apostle's originally abnormal thinking even more elusive.

A few days ago, in order to find a way to save himself, the Duke implanted the Iron Apostle's mechanical core into his body and awakened it.

May I ask, why did the Duke do this? The reason is that in the days before the "Vadi Family Incident", he often plotted against Su Xiao and even drank together.

If you are drinking with an alchemist in a semi-hostile situation, you must be careful. Even if the Duke has undergone many transformations, most of his body is a mechanical structure.

The problem is that alchemists also understand mechanical structures, and in many cases, they need to use alchemical compounds to soften and melt various metals.

For the Duke, this kind of alchemical synthesis is more terrifying than poison. There is no way to replace the mechanical mechanism in the body. Unless the Duke can remove all the metal structures on the body at once, otherwise the alchemical synthesis of this kind of microbial properties will

Things will continue to divide.

The Duke discovered this before the entrance to Dead Silence City opened. Naturally, this old man would not wait to die and let the risk of Su Xiao taking his life at any time, so he thought of the Iron Apostle and deliberately

The opponent's mechanical core is implanted into the body, allowing the opponent's powerful soul and consciousness to seal and "measure" one's own soul and consciousness.

The so-called "quantity" is the unique method of the Iron Apostle, which is to integrate the soul into the mechanical structure to achieve the state of immortality in which the core is immortal.

Things developed exactly as the Duke imagined. After the mechanical core was activated, the Iron Apostle's consciousness awakened and took over his body.

In order to avoid the damage caused by the soul hitting the soul, the Iron Apostle "embodied" the Duke's soul into the mechanical prosthetic body in his body, turned it into the "Duke Core", and then slowly processed it.

This is what the Duke wants to see, but it is not enough. With the "core", he also needs a carrier. This carrier must have a high degree of compatibility with him, and there must be no alchemical compounds in the body. It is best if the body still carries out

After certain mechanical modifications.

It is obvious who this target is. It is the Duke's eldest son, Crank. In order to make the other party more suitable to be a carrier, in the decisive battle between father and son before entering the Dead City, the Duke not only deliberately let the other party survive, but also destroyed half of the other party's body, leaving him

This part of the body had to be replaced with mechanical prosthetics.

As a result, the current scene appeared. The Iron Apostle, who had been sleeping for a long time and had a slightly confused mind, thought he had dealt with the Duke, but in fact, he was plotted by the Duke and came to Su Xiao to die for him.

It can be said that no matter whose soul consciousness is inside, as long as he dares to come to Su Xiao with this body filled with alchemical compounds, the other party will definitely die.

This is why, when they met in Dead Silence City before, Su Xiao didn't chase the 'Duke'. It was not necessary at all. He originally wanted to cooperate with the Duke to a certain extent, but the 'Duke' became more and more dangerous. Now it seems that this

Where is the Duke, he is clearly the Iron Apostle.

Su Xiao looked at the debris on the ground and picked up a church slate from inside.

At the same time, in a well-preserved building near the "Holy Ten Church", Krank was sitting on a wooden chair, looking out the window and thinking. The pupil of his left eye contracted rapidly, and the expression on his face was distorted.

He seemed to want to say something, but no sound came out, and he lowered his head violently.

A few seconds later, 'Krank' raised his head again and looked out the window with deep eyes.

"Krank, what's wrong with you? You look...a little weird."

By coincidence, the Moonlight Maid walking nearby spoke.

"It's okay, I'm just still a little uncomfortable with the implant."

'Krank' stood up and moved his mechanical right arm. Seeing this, Moonlight Maid snorted lightly and ignored him.



The battle soon subsided, and Lu Ge was still lying on the ground near the broken two-story building. Nearby, Wood was sitting on the rubble.

In the battle just now, Wood was obviously lazy. The three members of the Crow Team were not in the surrounding area. Su Xiao and Sias were still wondering why Wood was willing to take the initiative to contact the Crow Team with the Necronomicon. At the moment, it seems that this guy

He clearly knew that the Ravens were not nearby, so he deliberately found a legitimate reason to be lazy.

"This guy can really run."

When Sinyas returned, he threw a head on the ground. It was a snow monster. This guy who likes to pretend to be a pig and eat tigers and has a strong survivability. Today he met someone who could kill him, Sinyas who has immortality.

Si, of course he knows how to kill this kind of enemy.

"Bai Ye, have you heard of the Initial Temple? This one called the Snow Monster has something to do with the Initial Temple. I seem to be 'marked' by this force."

Sias opened his mouth.

"I've heard of it."

"Where exactly is it?"

"A force formed by several high-ranking evil gods."

"oh?"

Sias frowned. A high-ranking evil god is not easy to offend, but since he has been provoked, he must be eradicated with the power behind him. This is called prejudgment to prevent revenge.

Because he knew Sias' formal style better, Su Xiao said: "They will not retaliate against you."

"How do you say this?"

"The few pillar gods in the initial temple are either dead, or they were taken back by me to be used as food."

"Ingredients?"

Both Sias and Wood looked at me, and their eyes seemed to say: 'As expected of you.'

"I got the second stone slab."

Su Xiao took out the church slate obtained from the Iron Apostle.

"This way."

The door of a shop on the street was pushed open, and it was Gulu. Seeing that the building she was in was not bad, several people walked into it.

This place was originally a tavern. Su Xiao and the others were sitting around the wooden table. One of them, Sias, said:

"After the Dukes are done with it, will it be the Ravens or the Worms?"

"Let's deal with it together."

While Su Xiao was speaking, he took out a gray crystal block, which made several other people sitting around feel wary.

"What are you doing?"

Wood asked.

"I will temporarily summon the Necronomicon."

After hearing what Su Xiao said, Wood stood up and walked out, his steps inevitably showing a bit of haste, and he said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Ahem, I need to pee too."

Sias also walked outside. Seeing this, Gulu also found a reason to slip out. Only Caesar remained calm and composed.

Su Xiao had previously caused the Necronomicon to have cause and effect with the Arcane Eternal Star. In this matter, the Necronomicon owed him once, and it was time to repay it now.

As for the Necronomicon, which is a "father-level" artifact, ignoring this point, then there will be no such good thing as working together to catch evil gods in the future.

Sure enough, not long after Su Xiaogang crushed the gray crystal block, the Necronomicon appeared in front. He folded a note and threw it towards the Necronomicon. The note turned into ashes, and the Necronomicon was on top of the detection.

After the content, it disappeared into the air.

After more than half an hour, Sias, Wood, and Gulu returned, and Su Xiao began to briefly explain her plan.

The efficiency of clearing one team at a time is too slow, and during the battle, the church's stone slabs may be damaged.

Su Xiao's plan is to use the two existing church stone slabs to unite the Crow Team and the Worm Team, saying that the three teams will join together to splice the four stone slabs together to know the content on them.

Based on what the 'Good Teammates' team has done before, the Ravens and Worms will never agree to this proposal. On the contrary, what if it is replaced by the Dukes?

You must know that the Dukes have prepared in this way before, and have successfully united with the Ravens and reached preliminary negotiations with the Worm team. The problem there is that even if a union is reached, there is still a lack of a stone. Now this problem has been solved.

Su Xiaoneng used an ancient mask to disguise himself as a duke, and then put on a deer pattern. Only two people could represent the duke team.

Regarding the meeting with 'Krank' of the Crows, if the other party has been replaced by the Duke's consciousness, it doesn't matter. The Duke will not stand up, let alone expose Su Xiao's disguise, unless he wants to die.

"Lu Ge, are you willing to cooperate with us?"

Su Xiao looked at Lu Ge who was tied up and sitting against the wall.

"impossible."

Lu Ge also has a temper. He was caught last time and attacked again this time.

"..."

Su Xiao said nothing and took out three "thorns of mercy".

"Brother, I'm joking with you, why do you still take it seriously?"

Luge relented decisively. He heard the snow monster describe the feeling of being stabbed by this thing.

Su Xiao took out the ancient mask and put it on his face. The scarlet tentacles clung to his clothes. In an instant, he disguised himself as a duke wearing a dark golden robe.

What happens after that is simple, it is still the abilities of Caesar and Wood that cooperate with each other to position the Ravens and Worms.

The first one to locate was the Crow Team. Su Xiao took out a capsule and threw it to Lu Ge. After Lu Ge took it, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it without hesitation.

He had already been fooled once, that time in the Shusheng World. He took a 'poison' given by Su Xiao. Until he returned to Apocalypse Paradise, he was worried for fear that the poison would be exposed. After returning, he carried out

After many tests, I found out that I was taking vitamins.

Lu Ge's idea at this time was to run away as soon as he had the chance, so that he would no longer be worried about vitamins.

"You don't have much time, about 5 hours."

While Su Xiao was talking, he took out a capsule that was the same as the one Lu Ge swallowed just now and threw it out the window.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and a burst of solar flames exploded. The capsule contained liquid ordinary Apollo. Being exploded by this thing is not serious. The problem is that if this thing explodes in the chest, it will be another

Something happened.

"Go and notify the three members of the Crow Team. We will meet in front of the stone monument at the Wolf Tomb in three hours."

After hearing what Su Xiao said, Lu Ge hurried out the door without saying a word.

"Bai Ye, he can't spit out the capsule?"

Sias spoke, very interested in this capsule.

"Won't."

Su Xiao took out another capsule and crushed the crispy water-soluble capsule with a snap. Even if Luge took out his stomach, he couldn't find the explosive capsule because what he swallowed was not the explosive capsule but the crispy water-soluble capsule.

, it dissolved as soon as it reached his stomach.

More than 40 minutes later, Lu Ge returned. Judging from his slightly panting appearance, it could be seen that he was traveling at full speed and encountered dead people.

"Go here to inform Team Worm and meet at the Wolf Tomb."

Su Xiao took out a church slate and continued: "Give this slate to Worm and tell him that this is the Duke's sincerity."

"good."

Lu Ge took the slate and left. Seeing this, Su Xiao walked towards the Wolf Tomb alone. He was now pretending to be a Duke. Naturally, he couldn't go with Sias and Wood, so he could only bring Boobwang who had blended in with the environment.

Two hours later, in the Wolf Tomb area, surrounded by a circular bone wall, it was here that Su Xiao fought a deadly battle with the Wolf Knight Captain.

Su Xiao sat in front of a stone tablet several meters high. He opened his eyes and looked at the three people walking in front of him. They were Crow Girl, Moonlight Maid, and Krank.

Su Xiao and Krank looked at each other. Krank, no, this is already the Duke. Krank may not be dead yet, but he is no longer the leader of this body.

The brilliance in the Duke's eyes was fleeting. He looked at the man disguised as himself in front of the stone monument, and after making a rough guess in his mind, he decided to wait and see what would happen.

Su Xiao was also looking at the Duke. As he had guessed before, the Duke did not reveal that someone was pretending to be him.

"Duke, have you found the last slate?"

The speaker was the Crow Woman, who was holding a church slate in her hand.

"Yes, he found it."

Five figures wearing white robes and loose hoods came forward, led by the Stigmata Master Worm. His sharp gaze inevitably gave people an intimidating look.

When the Stigma Instructor Worm arrived at the scene, he took out two church slates without saying any nonsense. He seemed to be sincere, but in fact he had already told him that when the four slates were completely spliced, he would immediately take action, whether it was the Stigmata on them or the Stigmata on them.

The marks of the gods cannot be copied. Only by mastering the complete church slate can you master these, so there is no possibility of sharing.

The 10 people present formed a faint circle.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started."

Stigmata Master Worm threw out the two stone slabs in his hand. Seeing this, Crow Girl looked at Moonlight Maid aside. Moonlight Maid nodded, meaning that although these were her things, Crow Girl had the final say now.

Crow Girl threw the slate in her hand, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Xiao, who was disguised as the Duke.

Su Xiao threw the slate, and following his action, Stigma Instructor Worm shouted: "Do it!"

Gray light suddenly appeared, and before everyone present could take action, the Necronomicon appeared. The translucent tentacles protruding from its interior bound the four church stone slabs and gathered them back. Finally, the Necronomicon faded and disappeared.

Inside Crow Woman.

The atmosphere was almost frozen, and everyone looked at Crow Girl, but what no one noticed was that four stone slabs appeared in the golden robe behind Su Xiao, and they had been stored in the storage space by him.

Stigma Instructor Worm and the other five people were all staring at Crow Girl. Their eyes were no longer unkind, but their murderous intent was skyrocketing.

"Well done, let's retreat."

There was a bit of surprise in Moonlight Maid's eyes. She really didn't know that Crow Girl had such a plan.

Not to mention that the Moonlight Maid didn't know, even the Crow Girl didn't know. She wanted to know where the four church slates had gone. Somehow, the confusing situation at the moment felt familiar to her, a kind of familiarity.

The feeling of being plotted surged into my heart uncontrollably.
