"No one in all of Scrap Iron City can stop now."
The Seventh Sect Leader was walking slowly forward, heading toward the Blood-Flesh Rose that was blooming from the tallest building in the entire city. The entire Scrap Iron City had now fallen into complete chaos. Everyone was panicking and fleeing in all directions. In this chaotic scene, he could see that Blood-Flesh Rose continuously waving its hideous and terrifying flesh tentacles, rolling up person after person into mid-air, then "fusing" them into the tentacles. Limbs struggled, faces twisted in agony, like monsters from a nightmare. He could also feel the power contained within that Blood-Flesh Rose, power that made even him tremble with fear. But he showed no sign of fear. What he felt was only the pleasant sensation of a certain guess in his heart finally being proven correct... Yes, this was what he had been looking for... "Found him." This legendary figure who had influenced the course of the Second Secret War. Having found him, he had naturally also found God's Death Knell. "Damn it, run quickly..." As these thoughts appeared in his mind, quite a few Transcendents with considerable strength were fleeing from near the building. They were panicking like holess dogs. Most were mbers of various mysterious organizations who had been lying dormant in this city for a long ti, also waiting for God's Death Knell to appear. They had discovered it imdiately, rushed over excitedly, then imdiately fled for their lives. Damn, God's Death Knell really seed to be here. But this seal was too terrifying. If they didn't run quickly, they would die... He was just enjoying their panic and despair. God's Death Knell was sothing that everyone in the world was searching for, but not everyone was qualified to search for it. Just like Ouyang, he was actually the person most qualified to find God's Death Knell. But he was too cowardly and too concerned with preserving his life. He had no reverence for god in his heart and didn't understand sacrifice. So he had foolishly given up such a good opportunity. Even if God's Death Knell was right in front of him, that guy probably wouldn't dare reach out to take it. Even just now, when the Blood-Flesh Rose blood, he had briefly suspected whether Ouyang was actually the sa as himself, secretly lying in wait just to wait for God's Death Knell to appear. Maybe everything he usually did was just pretense, and once God's Death Knell appeared, he would imdiately reveal his cruel true nature and stop at nothing to seize that legendary object. But no. The mont Ouyang saw the Blood-Flesh Rose bloom, he imdiately decided to organize the patrol squad mbers to prepare for rescue operations. What a coward... When he stepped aside from blocking the path in front of him, the only thing he said was: "Xu Lin, I know you have strong willpower, but after following you for so many years, everyone is dead. Don't you feel any heartache at all?" "..." Yes... They were all dead. While thinking about these issues, the Seventh Sect Leader Xu Lin had just approached the front of this building. No one was there to greet him. Through the extended-range sensing brought by the Knowledge power system and the "shared mory pool," he could understand what his subordinates had done before their deaths and what terrifying scenes they had experienced. But so what? "We are all people who believe in god. Our lives are ready to be offered to the divine at any ti..." Thump thump thump... It seed like he could hear the sound of so heart beating frantically. But if he listened carefully, he would discover that within this beating sound, what was clearer was the sound of a needle moving. That subtle sound was transmitting from within the flesh, becoming clearer and clearer, as if it would break through the earth at any mont... The Seventh Sect Leader's face finally showed an excited expression. He climbed up this building that seed sowhat small even in front of the Blood-Flesh Rose, reached the rooftop, and standing on the rooftop, looking at that Blood-Flesh Rose that seed over a hundred ters tall and heart-stopping, he suddenly spread his arms wide, struck his chest forcefully, then shouted loudly, "Sacred Sect's Seventh Sect Leader Xu Lin..." "Receiving the sacred object's return to the holy pool..." "..." At the sa ti, in front of another building, Wei Wei was also rapidly advancing inside. The head ornant at his waist had sohow awakened and said excitedly, "Are you finally going to look for it?" "Great, I wonder if it's too late now..." "And it's too risky. Coming here now is too risky. We could die at any mont..." "..." "No matter how risky, important things still need to be done, don't they?" Wei Wei gritted his teeth and said to it with a smile, while quickening his pace. "Right, right..." The head ornant suppressed its excited heart, "Don't go south. There's a very powerful Knowledge Demon to the south..." "Okay..." Wei Wei agreed and took a few steps toward the south. "You?" "The path ahead is blocked." "Oh, then you absolutely mustn't go west. Let's infiltrate the building directly..." "Okay..." "You're going the wrong way..." "The western path is clear..." "..." After a few exchanges, the head ornant suddenly realized and said in horror, "What is this important thing you ntioned?" "Of course, it's sothing very, very important." Wei Wei looked up at a low building in front of him, suddenly used both hands and feet to climb up the wall with all his strength. The head ornant felt so kind of ominous premonition. The more it thought, the more panicked it beca, and it started howling, "Wei, Crazy Wei, take it easy!" "This is the most important mont, brother!" "If you make a contribution now, you can have anything you want! Think of the big picture!" "..." Amid its wailing, Wei Wei finally climbed up the low building. Swoosh... He looked up and saw countless flesh tentacles hanging down from the building next to him. Like enormous banners falling from the sky, each tentacle was embedded with countless faces. They writhed hideously, eyelids rolling, descending from above with truly massive force, striking hard at the Seventh Sect Leader. "Crack..." The Seventh Sect Leader raised one arm, and bursts of ntal turbulence blood around him, forcibly supporting the tentacles. The capillaries on his skin surface all oozed alarming amounts of blood due to this enormous crushing force. He knelt on one knee, smashing the rooftop floor into a spider web pattern, his spine creaking as if it might break at any mont, but he still held on. The Seventh Sect Leader's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression seed sowhat dazed. But at this mont, his face carried a smile as he looked calmly at the enormous Blood-Flesh Rose. "As expected, all your power is concentrated on maintaining the seal." "So even soone as humble as can temporarily preserve my life in front of you..." With a low, muffled roar, he suddenly stood up against this enormous force, step by step, using the blood plasma flowing from every pore of his body to quickly draw a huge and bizarre rune on the rooftop. More flesh tentacles extended from inside the building, like monsters from ancient tis, rolling toward him from all directions, like crimson carnivorous plant traps... But this power was exactly what he could withstand. If the being in this building attacked him with full force, or even got slightly serious, he would definitely die imdiately. But the Seventh Sect Leader had calculated correctly. Right now, that being definitely wouldn't attack him with full force, otherwise the trapped thing would break free. So he took advantage of this ti, his face showing a proud smile as he drew blood-colored runes one by one. Seeing that the rune was about to take shape, the Seventh Sect Leader's expression beca proud. Indeed, only he could complete such a task. Only he had sufficient faith and courage to approach at this ti. He possessed enough faith to dare face the true form of a totem, so he could do it. Whether it was Ouyang, or the other sect leaders in the church, or even those elders who only knew how to struggle for power and profit... They all lacked sufficient faith, so they couldn't do it. With this overwhelming pride, he took out a silver dagger from his chest, his gaze turning toward the enormous Blood-Flesh Rose. As if his gaze could penetrate this endless flesh and see God's Death Knell hidden inside. "I've co to receive your return to the holy pool..." He silently recited in his heart, his resolve firm, and suddenly raised the dagger high. "Hey, friend..." But at this very mont, he suddenly heard a young voice coming from nearby. The Seventh Sect Leader was startled and turned his head sharply, his pupils suddenly contracting. He saw that on another low building nearby, seemingly even closer than himself, there was soone wearing tattered combat gear, covered in bloodstains everywhere, but whose smile was still warm and even sowhat brilliant, waving at him from afar... It was the intern who had dared to block his path when he first entered Scrap Iron City. He actually dared to appear here too! For soone as weak as him, even a strand of flesh dropping from the Blood-Flesh Rose could directly devour him. So how did he dare? Especially, why did he choose to co at exactly this mont? Could it be that Ouyang had actually seen through all his plans long ago and made counterasures early on, so he had this subordinate specifically appear at this ti? Countless indescribable speculations surged in his heart. For the first ti, the Seventh Sect Leader Xu Lin felt his mind becoming disturbed. "You..." He asked hoarsely, "Did you also co for God's Death Knell?" "No." "Did you guess my plan?" "Don't be ridiculous. How would I know what you're trying to accomplish by climbing up this building..." "..." Feeling that the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, the Seventh Sect Leader Xu Lin couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly. In his weakened body, the remaining ntal power began to gather frantically. Although the amount wasn't much—Ouyang Jian was the most cunning person in this damn world. He had guessed that he had other purposes, so just now he had done almost nothing except consu his power and wanted to seal his abilities—but fortunately, the person who ca was too weak. Perhaps his remaining ntal power was still enough... "Do you have the feeling of fear?" Just then, the person on the opposite building suddenly stood up slowly and asked the Seventh Sect Leader with a smile. "?" This sudden question made Xu Lin lose focus for a mont. In his eyes, Wei Wei was slowly standing up, looking at him seriously, and said, "I don't know what plans you have, and I'm not interested in whatever you're fighting over. I don't give a damn whether your god is worshipped in the wilderness or in a church, but I have to co and ask you: for this so-called plan, you killed so many people..." A smile slowly appeared on his face as he said, "Are you afraid?" "..." Such a question even made the Seventh Sect Leader feel absurd. "Many people in this city are afraid—afraid of the Pandora's Box you opened, and afraid of the wasteland refugees you brought..." At the sa ti, the person across from him gripped the gun in his hand tightly. "If you're not afraid, that's not fair." At this ti, he didn't know how many bones in his body were broken. He was entirely relying on Scarlet power to stitch and fix things inside his body just to barely move. But after such a long ti of high-intensity consumption, Scarlet power was also showing signs of being depleted for the first ti. His bullets were also almost completely used up. He was facing a powerful Transcendent who was at least two ranks higher than him. Then he raised the Silver Rifle in his hand. Wei Wei wore a happy smile, half-crouching, raising his left arm horizontally in front of him to support the gun barrel. He aid seriously at the Seventh Sect Leader and hooked his finger on the trigger. "This..." The Seventh Sect Leader bit down hard on his teeth. His remaining ntal power wasn't much, but he was still holding on and could even block the strikes of the flesh tentacles. So there was absolutely no way a little ant's gun could harm him... ...No, wait! He suddenly sensed an unprecedented crisis and jerked his head up. The next mont, Wei Wei suddenly pulled the trigger of the Silver Rifle. There were no bullets in the gun at this ti, but because this gun had traveled with Wei Wei through the city for a long ti, absorbing the disease energy from countless people, this had caused unprecedented power to accumulate in this gun, continuously compressing. Seventy percent of that row of English signatures had lit up. So the dense disease energy, which had almost beco substantial, turned into a gray and defeated beam of light that instantly crossed hundreds of ters of distance. This gray and defeated light illuminated the Seventh Sect Leader's pale face. "No..." He suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs. Emotions of shock and terror instantly climbed into his heart. With so much planning coming so close to success for the first ti, this made him suddenly realize the most ridiculous, most absurd, and most unexpected failure ending, filled with terror and unwillingness. ... ... "God's Death Knell or whatever else doesn't matter." "For , the most important thing..." Wei Wei's face showed unprecedented happiness, "is to give back to you what you gave to the lambs!"

The more it thought, the more panicked it beca, and itstarted howling, "Wei, Crazy Wei, take it easy!" "Thisis the most important mont, brother!" "Ifyou make a contribution now, you can have anything you want! Think of the bigpicture!" "..." Amid itswailing, Wei Wei finally climbed up the low building. Swoosh... He lookedup and saw countless flesh tentacles hanging down from the building next tohim. Likeenormous banners falling from the sky, each tentacle was embedded withcountless faces. They writhed hideously, eyelids rolling, descending from abovewith truly massive force, striking hard at the Seventh Sect Leader. "Crack..." The SeventhSect Leader raised one arm, and bursts of ntal turbulence blood around him,forcibly supporting the tentacles. Thecapillaries on his skin surface all oozed alarming amounts of blood due to thisenormous crushing force. He knelt on one knee, smashing the rooftop floor intoa spider web pattern, his spine creaking as if it might break at any mont,but he still held on. The SeventhSect Leader's eyes were bloodshot, and his expression seed sowhat dazed. But at thismont, his face carried a smile as he looked calmly at the enormousBlood-Flesh Rose. "Asexpected, all your power is concentrated on maintaining the seal." "Soeven soone as humble as can temporarily preserve my life in front ofyou..." With a low,muffled roar, he suddenly stood up against this enormous force, step by step,using the blood plasma flowing from every pore of his body to quickly draw ahuge and bizarre rune on the rooftop. More fleshtentacles extended from inside the building, like monsters from ancient tis,rolling toward him from all directions, like crimson carnivorous plant traps... But thispower was exactly what he could withstand. If thebeing in this building attacked him with full force, or even got slightlyserious, he would definitely die imdiately. But theSeventh Sect Leader had calculated correctly. Right now, that being definitelywouldn't attack him with full force, otherwise the trapped thing would breakfree. So he tookadvantage of this ti, his face showing a proud smile as he drew blood-coloredrunes one by one. Seeing thatthe rune was about to take shape, the Seventh Sect Leader's expression becaproud. Indeed,only he could complete such a task. Only he had sufficient faith and courage toapproach at this ti. Hepossessed enough faith to dare face the true form of a totem, so he could doit. Whether itwas Ouyang, or the other sect leaders in the church, or even those elders whoonly knew how to struggle for power and profit... They alllacked sufficient faith, so they couldn't do it. With thisoverwhelming pride, he took out a silver dagger from his chest, his gazeturning toward the enormous Blood-Flesh Rose. As if hisgaze could penetrate this endless flesh and see God's Death Knell hiddeninside. "I'veco to receive your return to the holy pool..." He silentlyrecited in his heart, his resolve firm, and suddenly raised the dagger high. "Hey,friend..." But at thisvery mont, he suddenly heard a young voice coming from nearby. The SeventhSect Leader was startled and turned his head sharply, his pupils suddenlycontracting. He saw thaton another low building nearby, seemingly even closer than himself, there wassoone wearing tattered combat gear, covered in bloodstains everywhere, butwhose smile was still warm and even sowhat brilliant, waving at him fromafar... It was the intern who had dared to block his path when he first enteredScrap Iron City. He actuallydared to appear here too! For sooneas weak as him, even a strand of flesh dropping from the Blood-Flesh Rose coulddirectly devour him. So how didhe dare? Especially,why did he choose to co at exactly this mont? Could it be that Ouyang hadactually seen through all his plans long ago and made counterasures early on,so he had this subordinate specifically appear at this ti? Countlessindescribable speculations surged in his heart. For the first ti, the SeventhSect Leader Xu Lin felt his mind becoming disturbed. "You..." He askedhoarsely, "Did you also co for God's Death Knell?" "No." "Didyou guess my plan?" "Don'tbe ridiculous. How would I know what you're trying to accomplish by climbing upthis building..." "..." Feelingthat the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, the Seventh Sect LeaderXu Lin couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly. In hisweakened body, the remaining ntal power began to gather frantically. Althoughthe amount wasn't much—Ouyang Jian was the most cunning person in this damn world.He had guessed that he had other purposes, so just now he had done almostnothing except consu his power and wanted to seal his abilities—butfortunately, the person who ca was too weak. Perhaps his remaining ntalpower was still enough... "Do youhave the feeling of fear?" Just then,the person on the opposite building suddenly stood up slowly and asked theSeventh Sect Leader with a smile. "?" This suddenquestion made Xu Lin lose focus for a mont. In hiseyes, Wei Wei was slowly standing up, looking at him seriously, and said,"I don't know what plans you have, and I'm not interested in whateveryou're fighting over. I don't give a damn whether your god is worshipped in thewilderness or in a church, but I have to co and ask you: for this so-calledplan, you killed so many people..." A smileslowly appeared on his face as he said, "Are you afraid?" "..." Such aquestion even made the Seventh Sect Leader feel absurd. "Manypeople in this city are afraid—afraid of the Pandora's Box you opened, andafraid of the wasteland refugees you brought..." At the sati, the person across from him gripped the gun in his hand tightly. "Ifyou're not afraid, that's not fair." At thisti, he didn't know how many bones in his body were broken. He was entirelyrelying on Scarlet power to stitch and fix things inside his body just tobarely move. But after such a long ti of high-intensity consumption, Scarletpower was also showing signs of being depleted for the first ti. His bulletswere also almost completely used up. He wasfacing a powerful Transcendent who was at least two ranks higher than him. Then heraised the Silver Rifle in his hand. Wei Weiwore a happy smile, half-crouching, raising his left arm horizontally in frontof him to support the gun barrel. He aidseriously at the Seventh Sect Leader and hooked his finger on the trigger. "This..." The SeventhSect Leader bit down hard on his teeth. Hisremaining ntal power wasn't much, but he was still holding on and could evenblock the strikes of the flesh tentacles. So therewas absolutely no way a little ant's gun could harm him... ...No,wait! He suddenlysensed an unprecedented crisis and jerked his head up. The nextmont, Wei Wei suddenly pulled the trigger of the Silver Rifle. There wereno bullets in the gun at this ti, but because this gun had traveled with WeiWei through the city for a long ti, absorbing the disease energy fromcountless people, this had caused unprecedented power to accumulate in thisgun, continuously compressing. Seventypercent of that row of English signatures had lit up. So thedense disease energy, which had almost beco substantial, turned into a grayand defeated beam of light that instantly crossed hundreds of ters ofdistance. This grayand defeated light illuminated the Seventh Sect Leader's pale face. "No..." He suddenlyshouted at the top of his lungs. Emotions ofshock and terror instantly climbed into his heart. With so much planning comingso close to success for the first ti, this made him suddenly realize the mostridiculous, most absurd, and most unexpected failure ending, filled with terrorand unwillingness. ... ... "God'sDeath Knell or whatever else doesn't matter." "For, the most important thing..." Wei Wei'sface showed unprecedented happiness, "is to give back to you what you gaveto the lambs!"
