Bai Yan took a look. The mission reward included 200 source points, a tactical card "Huge Meteor Falling from the Sky", and a new mysterious power... "Escape into the Void".
—
Another universe.
Zeao Continent, Kingdom of Holy Light.
In front of the burning village, Aurora, the original saint of the church and the current head of the Knights of the Sacred Heart, led the knights to stop.
She has an extremely tall figure, even comparable to that of male knights. She has short dazzling golden hair and a heroic demeanor. Anyone who sees her will instantly understand that she is a real warrior, just like a battle angel descended from heaven.
Aurora was originally a saint from the Church of Heaven in the Kingdom of Holy Light.
She joined the choir at the age of eight, was elected a saint at the age of twelve, and spent the next few years leading the choir girls in singing for God.
Pray to God.
When she was sixteen years old, a huge and terrible demonic disaster broke out in the continent of Zeao. Aurora prayed for the world in the church for four years, but the demonic disaster became more and more serious.
God, no response.
Aurora was never able to hear the oracle.
Maybe God won’t respond at all.
Finally, she cut off her blond hair that was more than half her body long and stopped singing.
Aurora turned to take up arms, left the royal capital, and decided to go to the place where the disaster occurred in person to solve the real problem!
The Heavenly God Church was extremely angry about this, and directly expelled her from the church, completely expelling her from the church.
Aurora had expected this, so she spent her own money to gather a group of like-minded knights and began to fight fires all over the mainland... Many people knew her story, and she became a legend.
So far, nine years have passed.
"The village has been destroyed by flames."
Aurora looked at everything in front of her, rolled off her horse, turned around and gave orders to the knights behind her.
"Everyone, be careful of the demons, move forward in an orderly manner, and rescue the victims!"
The knights said nothing, but obeyed the orders without exception.
These knights, both male and female, belong to the high-level elite of the "Knights of the Sacred Heart" and call themselves the "Knights of the Sacred Heart."
The entire knight order is a private member attracted by Aurora's charisma. Counting handymen such as chefs, there are more than seventy people in total.
They always have only one belief, which is to put an end to the worsening demonic disaster at all costs!
Both the church and the kingdom have abandoned them.
They also abandoned the church and the kingdom!
Aurora, who will smile when facing any strong enemy, is the only one whom the Knights of the Sacred Heart admire and follow!
During the rescue, the knight team is very orderly and rigorous. They have been rescued in disasters more than once.
However, the demonic disasters that have occurred in the Zhouao Continent have never stopped in these years.
The victims were being resettled, and Aurora was using healing magic on an injured child.
"Captain!"
A black-haired female knight came over and said worriedly: "Captain, you have not rested for seven days and seven nights. It is up to us to handle this disaster relief. Please go and take a rest."
Aurora turned to look at her, with a gentle smile on her face that made people instinctively want to get closer.
"I promise you, I will go to rest after this disaster relief is over, okay? Judy."
"Okay." Judy, the black-haired female knight, could only nod, helpless.
"You must remember that nothing is more important to the entire Order of the Sacred Heart than you."
Aurora looked at the victims around her and asked, "Aren't innocent people more important?"
Judy was silent for a long time and sighed: "But what we have done over the years is only a drop in the bucket. There is no way to end the demonic disaster."
There is no way to end the demonic disaster... Aurora turned to look at Judy, who also stared at her, with no intention of changing her words.
Because Judy knew what she said was right.
However, putting an end to the demonic disaster on the continent of Zeao at all costs is the meaning and creed of this knighthood!
Aurora stopped talking.
Does everything you do really make sense
Even Aurora, who always smiled at everything, couldn't help but start thinking at this moment.
Suddenly, she heard a strange, cold male voice.
[Chosen by the Sacred Heart, you have been chosen by fate]
Does this voice come from your own head
Aurora was completely stunned. Who was the source of the sound
Why does it appear in my mind? How is this going
Then she discovered something terrible.
My body can't move!
Could it be a conspiracy by a powerful demon clan
Aurora tried to struggle with all her strength. She was a powerful paladin at the "holy level". Although she was not as good as those "realm" level demigods, she was still a first-rate powerhouse.
The power that burst out from her body was huge, enough to crack mountains and crack rocks!
However, this is meaningless. Compared with her enviable power and the power of restraint, it is like the difference between a drop of clear water and the waves of the ocean.
The two are completely different and cannot be compared!
What exactly is going on
Suddenly, Aurora was seen kneeling down on one knee and she began to say the lines that someone had changed for her.
"I have my own justice. Witness the supreme fire."
Aurora's expression was righteous and awe-inspiring, and her tone was full of nobility and enthusiasm.
The victims heard the words of this legendary figure, and everyone in the Knights was also slightly stunned.
Is this an oath
For knights, oaths are extremely important.
Finally, one after another, the Knights of the Sacred Heart knelt on the ground and repeated the oath spoken by the leader very seriously.
"I have my own justice. Witness the supreme fire."
Judy took a deep breath, knowing she would follow this man forever.
The whole scene was extremely solemn, and the performance of the female knight leader rekindled the enthusiasm in many people's hearts.
But Aurora was in trouble and couldn't express her pain at this time.
The words I just said were not what I wanted to say, but what I was manipulated into saying... However, everyone misunderstood them just right.
This is the first time in her life that she has encountered this situation.
Suddenly the body was under control.
Being able to control one's own existence silently and suddenly is definitely an incredible powerhouse. Aurora knew very well that the opponent would be at least a "field" level powerhouse.
But there are only a handful of "domain" level ones in the entire Zeao Continent.
The Holy Light Kingdom and the Celestial Church each have only one, namely the Great Sage of the Palace and His Majesty the Pope. Apart from that, uh, only the president of the Harmony Magic Association and the Queen of the Day Elf Tribe have arrived in the "realm" .
Which one of them is it
Or maybe it's a powerful demon clan that he doesn't know.
Aurora's mind was confused. She always felt that the situation was unreasonable. There were indeed many people who could defeat her, but there should be only a few people who could suddenly control her.
Things are very strange.
It can't be that the "god" I have always believed in suddenly descends to earth...
Even though it was pointless to struggle just now, she did not give up the struggle, she always persisted, trying to break through the control!
What happened next made Aurora feel relieved.
Still under the control of this mysterious existence, she and other members of the Knights rescued people in the village, and even defeated the demons who suddenly ran out.
She was relieved that nothing bad happened, and for now, the person who manipulated her was probably well-intentioned.
So, who is the person who manipulates me
The great sage of the court or the president of the Magic Association
At this moment, the strange male voice appeared in her mind again.
[I am the savior.]
[Everything is to save the past and future, for this world that is about to collapse and be destroyed.]
[Sacred Heart Chosen.]
[From today on, you are a member of the Tower of Babel.]
"Savior..."
She immediately wrote down the name, and the meaning contained in the name touched Aurora instantly.
Is there really a savior in this world
This world is on the verge of destruction, about to collapse, and most people have died in the past ten years... Will there really be a savior
Aurora knew that many people in the Knights of the Sacred Heart regarded themselves as their savior.
She also kept smiling for this reason and always made people confident, even if many people died because of it.
But only when she wakes up every morning, Aurora clearly understands that she is not a savior at all!
Where have you been all these years
God, savior... why have you remained silent
She fell into a deep silence, and it took a long time to recover. The situation was so unbelievable that she did not choose to tell her subordinates about it.
"Captain!"
Suddenly, Judy called out to her.
"Come with me, please!"
She followed Judy's footsteps and saw a middle-aged man who was hopeless in a collapsed house.
The middle-aged man's body was full of ulcers, with pus, blood and disgusting tumors constantly emerging. Ordinary people would vomit at the sight of him, and even battle-hardened knights would frown when they saw him.
"He has been demonized and cannot hold on for long. He must..." Judy did not finish her sentence, but the demonized person has only one way to die, and it is best to deal with them before they "mutate".
"You are... the legendary knight who suddenly stopped being a saint..." The middle-aged man's voice was low and hoarse.
Aurora nodded slightly.
"Why! Why couldn't you have come a few hours earlier, why... my child! My wife... why couldn't you have come earlier! You are all liars! My children love your stories so much! Liars! You couldn't save Get off her!"
He cursed angrily and became hysterical.
The female knight still maintained a gentle smile on her face.
She knelt down calmly, reached out and held the man's body covered in ulcers in her arms.
A certain warmth made the man tremble and stop talking.
"I'm very sorry."
"Even though I knew from the beginning that I couldn't save everyone... But to this day, to this moment, I still hope that you can be saved."
There was not a trace of falsehood in her words.
"I'm willing to give anything for this."
The man shed a tear and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Slowly lowering her body, the originally holy female knight had become dirty with pus and blood.
