Chapter 404 -270: Run Away? I Want to See the River of Blood! (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

Chen Lun continued to browse through the posts on the forum, his mind constantly churning.

His expression calm, he pondered how to break through the predicament.

The surrounding Spirit World environment was blurry and twisted, like a bizarre abstract painting, giving the illusion that terrifying creatures might jump out from the shadows at any moment.

But the quiet environment was also very suitable for solitary contemplation.

Through the menacing approach of Lafa, Chen Lun thought of his “Dangerous Game” promotion task and the several promotion plans he had originally designed…

‘The Pursuer of the Performance, perhaps I could replace it with Lafa… But…’

...

He thought to himself.

Suddenly, a certain forum post caught Chen Lun’s eye.

The poster was a player located in Gem State’s capital, Fossil City, and the content of the post said that in the heart of Fossil City, within the cathedral district of the Sun Church, a magnificent building rose abruptly from the ground.

Although still under construction, in just two days, it had manifested from nothing, as if appearing out of thin air.

The post also included a screenshot.

It was taken by the poster from a great distance—the scene showed that deep within the cathedral district of the Sun Church, there was an ivory-white obelisk over a hundred meters tall, which from afar looked like a dazzling long sword pointing towards the sky.

Carved with countless patterns, the unique ivory obelisk was indistinct from a distance, but Chen Lun knew that those were the ancient Anita script, and the content of the bas-reliefs was the first three chapters of the Sun Church’s Bible, “Song of White”.

‘The Daytime Obelisk… It seems that Archbishop Terence of the Solar Monastery has arrived in Fossil City in the past two days.’

Chen Lun’s gaze was profound.

‘Once the obelisk is fully constructed, this eminent figure, one of the Twelve Bishops of the Solar Monastery, will use this extraordinary spectacle to project his numerous incarnations throughout the entire Gem State. All of the major cities under his jurisdiction, including Amber City, will have his presence without exception…’

This is suppression from the Red Apple Church, as well as a form of deterrence from the officials.

‘By then, if Terence comes looking for me because of the “Palm Fireworks” matter, there’ll be no escaping…’

He took a deep breath, now knowing where the strong premonition of spiritual intuition had come from—it was from Lafa and Terence!

But as Chen Lun’s brain rapidly processed information, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

It was like a bolt of lightning that shattered the dark barriers in his mind, connecting all pieces of information and illuminating the path ahead.

Chen Lun’s expression froze for a moment, then he showed a slightly fierce smile.

“There’s no fun in running away like this… I want to see rivers of blood!”

He closed his eyes and took a few minutes to organize his sudden inspiration, then drastically revised his original promotion plan, changing it beyond recognition.

When he opened his eyes again.

Chen Lun took out the “Phantom Statue” and activated it with the power of the Youlan Sword.

“If successful, not only will I be able to smoothly ascend to Sequence Six, but I can also eliminate the crisis in Amber City… and, incidentally, disgust both Lafa and Terence.”

Hum!

The Phantom Statue emitted a purple glow, and with its power, Chen Lun was drawn into the graveyard area of the Spirit World.

“For this plan, I need a significant ally, and that is Mr. Bales!”

At the lakeside cottage of Wonderland Lake.

On the lawn of the intelligence exchange area, Dongyang and others were discussing fervently when the Horseman suddenly noticed something and shouted:

“Hey hey! Everyone! There’s a mission!”

Polaris, Dongyang, and Chenxi all turned their heads, their faces filled with confusion.

Following the Horseman’s gaze, they looked toward the position in front of the cabin.

The quietly standing statue of Jack now, unknowingly, had a golden exclamation point appearing above its head.

That was the indication of a mission!

The group immediately became interested, they all stood up and gathered around the statue, choosing to interact.

As the mission prompt popped up, they read the detailed description and without exception, all showed shocked expressions.

“Mr. Jack… is playing this big?!”

Doghead Gold exclaimed in astonishment.

“No time for talk! Get ready!”

Dongyang said excitedly.

“All three of our guilds need to take action, this is a rare major event! To think that we’re all involved, it’s quite thrilling!”

Time moved on to the evening.

The twilight sun, like a blood-soaked orb, cast a crimson glow over the entire Amber City.

As if foretelling something.

The residents of Amber City were oblivious to the impending disaster, still going about their usual work, life, and studies.

Suddenly, a blood-red “meteor” fell from the sky.

Countless people looked up, exclaimed, and even prayed to their deities of faith.

Boom!!

A loud bang.

Rumble rumble—

A violent trembling, like an earthquake, was felt by many residents of Amber City, sensing the cataclysmic disturbance.

At the villa on the attic of Pompey Manor.

The Viscount family, Xibert and the Malediz grandparents were gathered here, watching through the open windows as the “red meteor” fell, their faces turning pale.

“It’s true! Will Amber City face the same disaster as Yellow Iron City?!”

“My Sun… this is terrifying!”

At that moment, everyone heard a deep male voice from behind:

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry. Mr. Jack will take care of everything… He will protect Amber City just like he did a year ago, keeping us all safe from disaster.”

Pompey, Malediz, and others turned around to look behind them.

Golov, Barton, Morey, and Connie were all there; it was Golov, wearing a bowler hat, who had just spoken.

All four wore solemn expressions.

Mr. Jack had returned to the manor a few hours ago, informing them that plans had changed. He arranged for these four to come to Pompey Manor to protect these friends. He even temporarily brought Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te here for safety.

Only Floey and Noah stayed by Mr. Jack’s side.

“But… that terrifying meteor just now seemed to have fallen right where Jack’s manor is located!”

Rey said worriedly.

The mood among the crowd was very heavy.

“Mr. Jack’s talk of moving was all a deception… He had long intended to face this disaster alone! Just like before, without saying a word, he stepped forward, standing in front of us all…”

Rebecca’s small hand clutched the hem of her garment, her eyes slightly moist.

She turned to Viscount Pompey.

“Daddy, Mr. Jack won’t be in any trouble, will he?”

“Of course not.”

Viscount Pompey pushed down the worry in his heart, a smile appearing on his face.

He caressed his daughter’s golden hair, comforting her:

“Rebecca, have you forgotten how Mr. Jack saved our family… how he fought against the evil ones and protected Amber City. He is Mr. Black Messenger, the Angel of the foreign gods, the guardian deity of Amber City… He is very strong, he won’t be in any trouble.”

The Viscount’s tone was very firm.

Lady Pompey came over as well, gently wrapping her arms around Rebecca.

The family began to pray softly for Mr. Jack.

Seeing this, Malediz sighed deeply.

“The Empire’s army… faced with such mystical power, I’m afraid they are powerless.”

He took Rey’s hand, joining in the prayers.

“Mr. Jack is the most noble person I’ve encountered in my lifetime… He is a man worthy of respect. Rey, let us pray for him.”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

The grandfather and grandson bowed their heads silently, praying for Mr. Jack’s safety and his victory over the disaster.

Golov and the others exchanged glances; aside from Connie, who had remained silent, the other three men bowed their heads in some embarrassment.

Though the Leader had sent them to protect these ordinary people, they knew in their hearts that their lack of strength meant they would not only be no help in battle but might even hinder the efforts.

Jack’s Manor.

At this moment, it had been reduced to ruins.

Clouds of dust and debris of buildings scattered in all directions; even the garden that Floey had so meticulously maintained was now a complete mess.

The culprit was that terrifying red meteorite!

It had fallen from the sky, devastating the villa with a direct hit, leading to the current scene.

Dozens upon dozens of players were gathered around the manor, staring gobsmacked at the sight.

Leading them was Dongyang and his company.

The players from the Circus in Amber City had almost all arrived.

They had received notice and hurriedly collected their tasks from Jack’s statue by the lakeside cottage, coming to fight side by side with Mr. Jack.

The enemy was clear: it was the man in the meteorite crater…

Through the dust, a tall man in a red robe slowly emerged.

This man had waist-length red hair and was extremely handsome, almost to the point of being enchanting.

“Diviner, it seems you anticipated my arrival, waiting here for me?”

Lafa said with a light chuckle.

His voice was not loud, yet everyone heard him.

Tens of meters directly in front of Lafa, three figures stood.

“Archbishop Lafa, I welcome your visit, but you’ve smashed up my home just by showing up, isn’t that a bit rude?”

Chen Lun responded with a polite smile.

Floey and Noah stood quietly behind Chen Lun, ready for battle—Floey with a black and purple great scythe and Noah with a paintbrush in hand, next to an easel stained with fresh blood.

“This is my greeting gift, Diviner. I wonder if you like it?”

Lafa’s face bore a faint smile, steps measured as he walked toward Chen Lun.

“I have an even bigger gift for you, just like last time… Your progress is truly rapid. In just over a year, you’ve reached the end of Sequence Seven, just one step away from stepping into Sequence Six…”

Lafa raised his hand, and a clump of dark purple flames emerged in his palm.

“But that’s still not enough, Diviner… Oh no, I should call you Magician instead, Jack… This time you will die.”

He smiled slightly.

The players all held their breath.

In their eyes, the Red Apple Church’s BOSS was an enemy they simply could not defeat at the current version, overwhelmingly powerful.

Only a character of Mr. Jack’s caliber could fight against him.

Their goal was simple: to join the battle if possible, increase their output and Contribution Degree, and if they were lucky, to pick up any scraps of advantage.

In everyone’s gaze, Jack with the black hat suddenly charged forward.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, he had crossed tens of meters, bringing his Silver Staff down onto the head of the red-haired man.

A piercing scream erupted, and silvery light burst forth!

“The one who will die is you, Lafa.”
