Start from the God of Death and break through the world

Chapter 558 Shalltear's Torture

The Holy Kingdom of Roble is located in the northwest corner of the continent, with the peninsula southwest of the Kingdom of Re-Estize as its territory.

Due to its geographical location, the coastal cities here are warm all year round, and the same is true for the capital, Hobans.

The moist and warm sea breeze blows through the streets. The pedestrians strolling by have leisurely expressions on their faces and the pace of life is very relaxed.

And in the temple known as the Great Temple, which is located between the political center of Hobans Royal City and the center of faith of the Holy Kingdom, a special guest is about to arrive.

In the temple, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom gathered, and the elite members of the Paladin Order were all on high alert, as if a great enemy that could destroy the country was about to walk in from the door of the temple.

The leader of the Paladins, Remedios Castelaudi, frowned and glanced at the time on the wall clock. "This guy is too unpunctual. He made Her Highness the Saint wait for so long!"

“Remedios.”

The voice of the woman who spoke from behind was soft but majestic. She just called Remedios's name softly and she calmed down.

The woman who was speaking had long golden hair that radiated luster, and her makeup was holy and majestic, giving people an inviolable feeling.

But she looks very beautiful when she smiles, so many people call her "Saint" because of her smiling expression that looks like an angel's wheel.

She is Calca Besares, who has a lovely and cold face like a flower. She is named "the treasure of the Holy Kingdom" and is now the ruler of the Holy Kingdom.

"But... it's obviously his proposal that's too much. How can our sovereignty be lost so easily? Why should Her Highness the Saint submit to a guy like the Blood Emperor?"

The Knight Commander had a bad temper, and even if her monarch could tolerate it, she couldn't.

The main reason for the recent outbreak of dissatisfaction within the Holy Kingdom is that the powerful people of the mysterious religious country, who had saved the Holy Kingdom in the previous conflict between the Orc Legion and the Holy Kingdom, demanded that they join the United Empire of Humanity and legally submit to the Blood Emperor.

The official document was delivered by the historian of the Bahas Empire the day before. After confirming that this was true, all the high-ranking officials of the Holy Kingdom were excited.

They believe themselves to be the strongest country among human nations except for the Theocracy. Even if they were to go to war head-on with the Bahas Empire, they should have some advantages. Why should they submit to the Bahas Empire?

Moreover, they did receive favors from the powerful man of the Theocracy. Today they heard that the other party might be the god of war worshipped by the Theocracy, but this does not mean that the other party can repay the favor and make them submit to other countries.

Based on the current world situation, the top leaders of the Holy Kingdom believe that there is no problem in establishing a united human empire. After all, monster invasions have become very frequent, and the power of a single family, except for the Theocracy, may be overwhelmed.

But even if such a united country is to be established, it should not be centered around the Bahas Empire, but rather around their fusion country where both theocracy and monarchy coexist.

If the God of War had instructed to establish a United Human Empire with the Theocracy as the main body, then their opposition might have been smaller, but the problem was that the Theocracy did not want to be an emperor, but gave the title of emperor to the Blood Emperor.

“Remedios, please be patient. I have told you many times that you should change your impetuous personality, otherwise you will suffer.”

The Saint sighed and said, "I understand your concerns and indignation, but isn't the biggest problem in this matter that we are about to, and may continue to, fool our subjects?"

After hearing the saint's words, all the kingdom officials and bishops present fell silent, each with their own reasons for silence.

Some thought that they were fooling the people, so how could they talk about "will"? Some were really lost in thought like a saint.

The former are naturally the wise bishops, who have been using faith as an excuse to rule the ignorant masses. As long as they can consolidate their rule, they will use any means, whether it is performing miracles to gain people's worship or executing heretics by extreme burning at the stake. They will use both kindness and force to consolidate their ruling position.

It's just that Her Highness the Saint is too naive. She only knows to sit on the throne and keep herself clean. She is unwilling to use insidious or tough means to do things that she thinks are dirty, so she doesn't know the true face of this country.

"Yes, we must not hand over our country to the executioner Blood Emperor, and we must not continue to obey the alien disguised as a human. This is a blasphemy against our beliefs!"

The Knight Commander waved his fist in support of the Saint's words. In her simple way of thinking, whatever Her Highness the Saint said was right.

The other bishops had strange expressions on their faces. They agreed with the first half of the Knight Commander's words. After all, they were unwilling to obey the Blood Emperor.

Anyone who is slightly familiar with the Blood Emperor knows that as a king, the Blood Emperor is very tyrannical. He can rule the country with an iron fist and still make the people think he is a good king. This shows that he is both strong and gentle. He is ruthless to the upper class, but knows how to win the hearts of the people when dealing with them.

If the United Human Empire is established, it goes without saying that within a few years, the Blood Emperor will use the convenience of his power to erode the Holy Kingdom, first denying and corroding their beliefs, and then shaking their sovereignty.

It is hard to say whether the Holy Kingdom will still exist by then, but their theocratic bishops will definitely have nowhere to stay.

"Well... although it's a bit awkward to not return the favor after receiving it, it would be too humiliating if we had to rely on the power of alien monsters to defend the country."

The Saint said with a conflicted expression, "But... if we reject his proposal, he will be unhappy, right?"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't he the so-called Supreme God in the faith of the Church? God should be bright and majestic. Even if he is pretending, he has to pretend. He can't attack and destroy our country like a monster, right?"

The leader of the Paladins said this, his words were very firm.

“That’s hard to say.”

At this time, a voice came, denying the words of the leader of the Paladins.

Remedios was very unhappy when she heard this. Before she could find the source of the voice, she shouted angrily, “Is there anything wrong with saying it? You…”

She stopped in the middle of her words because when she turned around, she saw that the door of the temple had been opened at some point.

At the gate, the sunlight poured down and shone on the man. The bright light disappeared without a trace, as if it was absorbed by the deepest darkness in the world, making the temperature in the hall drop a few degrees.

Next to the man, there was a lolita in red and black Gothic clothes. She had an elegant posture and was half a step behind the man like a servant, but there was a cruel light in her eyes as she scanned the people in the hall.

Anyone who was glanced at by the Gothic Lolita felt an inexplicable chill in their heart and their hair stood on end.

"Wu... Martial God..."

One of the bishops of the Holy Kingdom called out the name of the perpetrator in a trembling voice that was almost a groan.

Lu Li walked into the temple as if he was strolling in his own home, and looked up to admire the murals here. "Nice religious decoration, but it seems a bit redundant to me. It blocks my view of the sun."

As he finished speaking, Shalltear beside him took action. She raised her hand and created a strong wind, which shattered the stained glass in all directions.

Shards of glass fell from the sky like rain, refracting the sunlight and emitting a colorful glass glow. This was the ultimate beauty in destruction, so beautiful that it was dreamy.

Under the cultural rain curtain of the Holy Kingdom's two hundred years, Shalltear held up an umbrella, tiptoed high, and held the umbrella over Lu Li's head, like an elementary school student trying hard to hold an umbrella for his father. It felt quite cute.

But this scene is definitely not a warm father and daughter strolling in the rain, but a cruel conqueror arriving in the capital.

“You…you…”

All the officials and bishops of the Holy Kingdom wanted to question angrily, but no one could continue speaking, or dared to speak out loud.

The God of War did not show any imposing manner. He was just admiring the prismatic light rain with a faint smile on his face as he walked. He looked neither majestic nor overbearing, but just made people feel inexplicably cold in their hearts.

The seemingly cute little girl following the God of War gave off a strong ominous aura. From the moment she took action, her identity as an alien monster was not concealed at all. Her scarlet vampire eyes were scanning everyone, as if they were about to become her dessert.

Even the leader of the Paladins, who always prided herself on her unparalleled bravery and bravery, this female superhero-like figure, hesitated for a moment. She neither spoke nor attacked.

"Lord Martial God has heard that the people here have many objections to the Human United Empire. Now Lord Martial God is here in person to listen to your suggestions with his noble body."

Shalltear spoke in an elegant voice, like Lu Li's replacement, with an excessive smile on her face, "Then, please start your speech."

It was quiet, and there was a long silence. The only sound in the air was the occasional sound of broken glass falling from the edge of the roof.

Before Lu Li and Shalltear arrived, the people of the Holy Kingdom had thought of thousands of ways to refute and had hundreds of reasonable excuses.

For example, the Holy Kingdom has a long history and culture, and they should respect the history of local humans. For another example, their military strength is slightly stronger than that of the Bahas Empire. For another example, their beliefs are different from those of the Theocracy, and forced integration will arouse public anger.

But it was not until the moment Lu Li entered the temple that they realized how ridiculous their previous thoughts were.

Two hundred years of history were worthless in the eyes of the God of War. The shattered murals were trampled by the God of War as he walked past, as if he was crushing their dignity.

"Martial God! Understand the situation. This is not the place for you to show off your power!"

Remedios was the bravest and shouted, “You are violating the sovereignty of the Holy Kingdom. Do you want to start a war between the Theocracy and our country?”

Lu Li looked at Remedios with a caring look for a mentally retarded person, "Start a war?"

His tone was mocking, as if he had heard the best joke in the world, but he did not give any further response.

Shalltiya was beside Lu Li, as if they were having a meeting. The heavy rain had stopped at this time, and she walked forward with an umbrella. "It's our first meeting, and you all seem a little nervous. It seems that you have forgotten what you were supposed to say this time. In that case, let me help you recall it."

As she spoke, Shalltear walked up to the Holy Kingdom’s high-ranking officials, the first of whom was Remedios, the leader of the Paladins.

Remedios glared at Shalltear, she had already drawn her sword as she felt threatened, she was an expert in the hero field, one of the nine colors, and she considered herself to be the top expert among humans in the world.

Strength was also one of the reasons why she was often irritable. Seeing the monster Shalltear approaching her respected Saint with obvious malice, she could no longer bear it.

So she drew her sword and slashed directly at Shalltear, as if she had already foreseen that her swift and powerful sword would cut off the vampire's head.

bite--

With a crisp sound, Remedios's sword was swung away, and sparks flickered faintly in the air. Shalltear simply raised her left hand elegantly and used the long nail on her little finger to block the powerful sword.

She calmly dealt with Remedios's three consecutive slashes and even yawned lazily. "It seems that you can't remember what you should say."

As she spoke, she took a step forward under Remedios’ horrified gaze, with an elegant but terrifying cold smile on her face, and pierced her heart with her bare hand.

After Shalltear took out the heart of the Holy Kingdom's strongest knight, she grasped the heart with her left hand, raised her slender fingertips close to her mouth, and licked it with the fragrant snake, making the corners of her mouth a little red.

She had a typical aristocratic smile on her face. "Lord Wushen wants to tell everyone something from the heart. Come on, don't hide anything and speak out."

[Fear value +100]

Lu Li listened to the prompt sound in his ear, but his heart was calm.

He has figured out the scoring rules of this world. Fear points can be obtained not only from alien species, but also from key NPCs in his own camp.

Theoretically, if there is no external interference, even if he only rules the human world, he can spend a lot of time to gain enough fear points and have a justice point of more than 5,000.

Hey, these two scores don't actually conflict.

Just because people fear you doesn't mean they won't think your behavior is necessarily evil, especially in this world where justice scores are more targeted at groups, while fear scores are more targeted at individuals.

Simply put, he just needs to make the ruling class fear him and make the lower class people grateful to him. In the words of the master, this is actually the common method of an emperor.

Therefore, these people from the Holy Kingdom had made a mistake from the beginning. Lu Li didn't care about the life and death of the group of people led by the Holy Maiden. Anyone who stood in his way of conquering the world, or who tried to disgust him with tricks, would all die.

Moreover, after receiving the news, he immediately understood the main point of conflict between the Holy Kingdom and other human countries. They did not want to integrate into the Human United Empire because the nature of their country itself was embarrassing.

The saint is a naive and innocent person who keeps herself clean. She may not be aware of the core conflicts among the people below her, but the point is that the faith of the United Human Empire will be based on the religion of the Theocracy in the future, and the religious interests of the Holy Kingdom will be reduced to zero.

I guess many of you haven't watched the Holy Kingdom arc, that movie version... If you haven't watched it, I suggest you don't watch it, it's quite bad; the plot about the Holy Kingdom is just briefly mentioned here.
