The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 637 - 318: Slaughter in the City

In the dark corners of this city.

A few cultists looked at the alchemy giant dragon that suddenly descended from the sky, blocking their path.

Under the following radiance, the silver-white shell of the alchemy giant dragon emitted a faint glow.

The streamlined and coordinated posture looked unusually beautiful.

But for them, such beauty was deadly.

Two judges and Alyris followed closely behind.

Landing on the rooftop of a nearby house.

Now these cultists truly couldn’t escape.

Bugreit said, "Another smell I haven’t sniffed, another mutation I haven’t seen... Really seems like everything wants to roam here for a bit."

In the era when Bugreit died, only the Abyss set its sights on this world.

Moreover, it was very normal since the Abyss indiscriminately targeted all worlds.

So for Bugreit, the disgusting things were only demons and the [Bone Skull Lord].

Who would have thought upon waking up this time, he’d see some strange things.

Just thinking about this world being targeted by the Void as well, even an alchemical body would feel a bit numb.

"So who do you few worship? Hiding in this dark corner."

At this moment, surrounded by them, the cultists knew they could no longer escape.

The leader asked, "The city is full of cultists, how did you so precisely catch us?"

Another echoed, "I know you Night Watchers have the ability to precisely find cultists, but with so many, you can still distinguish them, why?"

"Hahaha, well, of course it’s because..." Bugreit laughed loudly, obviously very smug.

But said, "Not telling you."

"You are followers of the [Shadow of Deceit], right? The city’s earlier actions were related to you, correct?

The method used to obscure the Night Watchers’ probing ability earlier was also provided by you, correct?"

Alyris asked.

This was the task Kana gave her when she arrived, ever since Kana learned of this matter, she guessed it was likely the plot of [Shadow of Deceit].

Because only this Evil God cares greatly about the concealment of his followers, after all, he wants to extract power from this world, he must act covertly to provoke.

If he were directly discovered by the Night Watchers, among so many Evil Gods, he would be the one in the most disadvantage.

His followers also pursue an elite path, few in number, but almost every one can play a role.

So since being wiped out once in the Cohen Kingdom, they’ve hardly shown up in front of the Night Watchers.

As for other Evil Gods, they simply lack this motivation.

They’re always spreading vast influences to cause others to fall, completely indifferent to how the Night Watchers discover them.

[Bone Skull Lord] even wishes the Night Watchers would notice, then have a good battle.

Attempting to cause the Night Watchers’ downfall in the process.

As Alyris finished speaking.

The cultists began to take action.

However, just as they started, Bugreit’s light whip lashed out, instantly binding everyone together.

The peculiar power on the light whip made them unable to move, completely suppressed.

The light ball overhead turned into a pale light, concentrating the light.

Shining upon these people’s heads.

"Come, let me see your hidden secrets."

As he spoke, Bugreit’s eyes emitted the same light.

He was observing the souls of these people.

From when Kana met Bugreit, he had noticed Bugreit had an exceptionally high talent in soul aspects and had done considerable research.

When constructing a body for him, he also exchanged research on souls with him.

Bugreit hopes Kana could create a body structure that allows her to utilize soul observation abilities.

Though this condition was very stringent.

But eventually Kana accomplished it, benefiting from the machine Raelia and the others brought before.

Something once crafted by the Alchemy Empire, causing ghost pirates to appear.

Kana had been committed to soul research, mainly wanting to understand the world’s soul structure and its relation to the world through such studies.

This is to make appropriate resurrection mechanisms usable.

It requires sufficient comprehension, clear thoughts, feasible methods to precisely wish, to achieve results.

Otherwise, chaotic wishing for resurrection, the expense of stones is far beyond what Kana can afford, and the outcome might be unsatisfactory.

"Players" without resurrection mechanisms can hardly resist the Void that will eventually come.

As for the cultists beginning to hide themselves.

Kana directly listed several possible directions, for he knows the future plot development and can roughly predict it.

Then countermeasures are easily implemented because Kana prepared early on.

That is the new functionality the Night Watchers added earlier.

[Identification].

Previously stated, this ability relies on knowledge to identify extremely minute details for deduction, and it’s very fast.

For Night Watchers, knowledge about Evil Gods is generally inherent.

Because without a certain understanding, they’re not permitted to leave Candlelight City to become Night Watchers of other sequences.

The [Night Patrol] especially must be proficient.

So since this event, Kana demanded all Night Watchers use this ability in battles to check for hidden cultists.

And informed them how to judge through certain details and relayed the organized knowledge on this aspect.

Other hiding methods cannot be judged using this method.

This is why Kana sent Bugreit.

She can directly see souls, precisely identifying differences and mutations in souls, even if the Evil God didn’t grant a bit of power.

The faith in Evil Gods inherently causes mutation.

This kind of shielding is definitely challenging, cannot be widely employed, only offered to significant individuals.

There’s no choice in this matter.

After all, Evil Gods aren’t fools, devising counter-strategies is reasonable.

Yet, for Night Watchers, few can bear the soul-observing functions to use it.

With Bugreit’s soul observation, digging secrets from the depths of these cultists’ souls.

These cultists directly turned to ashes.

"Your speculation was correct, they indeed provided methods, and even more than one method."

Alyris nodded, that’s good.

Then the objective of this operation was considered achieved.

"Now, start cleansing all the cultists in this city, leave none behind."

As the words fell.

All members of the Judgement Court began to take action.

...

At the dawn of the next morning.

As sunlight descended, what it revealed was a city bathed in blood-red.

This city had been slaughtered entirely.

Left were those shivering in fear, even some who fainted, the citizens.

Among these, some citizens were taken away by the Night Watchers.

Mainly because they saw potential in these people.

As the Night Watchers progressed, a reasonable recruitment mechanism had long been established.

Those like this who survived such vast Evil God rituals and remained unpolluted can be considered promising candidates.

Plus, within certain ones, select accordingly, making them quite suitable Night Watcher reserves.

Along with those remaining were spies from various forces.

"So they must have found us, right?"

"Definitely, they’re not blind, and one clearly saw me, yet just glanced at me."

These spies all knew they had long been discovered by the Night Watchers.

"Let’s go, this matter is over."

"Alright, hurry, I don’t want to stay a second longer in this damn place."

They’ll carry the intelligence from here to different places.
