Chapter 271 Evildoers Will Be Punished by Evildoers (5400)

Now, 1:19 PM, June 14, 2016.

It should have been the last multinational team exchange meeting before the start of the Beast God Realm mission, even a rally to boost morale, but Su Zhou's 'inexplicable' actions had brought everything to a standstill.

As soon as the exchange meeting began, he strode directly to Andres, a veteran agent of the American Federation, and bluntly announced that this usually approachable gentleman, who even had many meritorious deeds, was actually a perverted serial killer who had tortured and killed many innocent people, slaughtering countless good people.

This was very strange.

After getting to know each other for half a week, everyone in the multinational task force knew each other. If Su Zhou really saw something, why didn't he point it out earlier?

The main reason was that even Su Zhou didn't activate the Divine Power of the Devouring Demon Lord all the time, and it was very impolite to use this kind of divine power similar to camp detection randomly. Generally speaking, Su Zhou would only turn it on to check the situation when he arrived in a strange place.

And Andres was not very active in the first place. If it hadn't been for Su Zhou suddenly feeling an extremely special and strong 'abnormality' from this kind-looking, albeit somewhat hairline-challenged, tall American Federation agent this time, he definitely wouldn't have been so bored as to turn on his divine power to scan an agent who had undergone the American Federation's rigorous political review.

Who knew that one scan would reveal a guy as red as black.

"Which side are you from?"

At this time, Aestner was sternly questioning Andres in public. His words were concise: "And why did you kill, or even torture?"

Aestner of Rockta, is a senior cadre of the American Federation's NW Foundation. Although he is tall and looks like the strongest football player, he is actually a practitioner who is good at holy light. He is now in his prime and is the strongest in the coastal area of the western American Federation.

He was taciturn and rarely spoke, but when he did, he could inspire holy power and bring about all kinds of effects like decrees—if Aestner said 'you can't lie', then unless one was stronger than him in power, or had special decree resistance, one had to tell the truth.

Aestner didn't completely believe Su Zhou. Although he also had similar divine powers that could judge good and evil, and he wasn't surprised that Su Zhou could directly see Andres' problem, he also knew that the loopholes in this kind of magic were huge. It was common for the same person and the same spell to get different results from two tests.

But Andres himself simply and directly admitted it? So he had to ask clearly in public, lest the multinational joint task force lose trust in the American Federation.

"It's the Holy Serpent Spirit Litany."

Andres straightforwardly stated the force behind him. He remained in the same posture, his tone calm: "My maternal grandfather was a high-level cadre of the Holy Serpent Spirit Litany. Thirty-three years ago, he led me to join the Litany and held several ceremonies to improve my talent—otherwise, with my talent, it would have been impossible to cultivate to the peak of Awakening before the revival of spiritual energy, and advance to Transcendence quickly afterwards."

"My parents, wife, and children don't know these things. They don't have any cultivation talent. After my maternal grandfather died twenty-seven years ago, I superficially severed contact with them completely, but in fact, I was ordered by the leader of the American branch of the Litany to try to work within the Foundation as a mole."

Andres said everything in great detail. He obviously knew that it was better to confess actively than to have someone forcibly search his soul: "As for torturing and killing people, it's because the Litany holds a soul-devouring secret method that can quickly restore spiritual power by devouring souls. When I participated in the siege of the exiled vampire clan in Mexico, I was accidentally attacked and seriously injured. I killed seventeen local residents, devoured their souls to continue fighting, and blamed the casualties on the vampires."

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but smack his lips. He still remembered how the followers of the Water God in the reincarnation world immediately died after saying a little bit of information. Theoretically speaking, the Litany's technical power should be higher than that of the Water God, so how could Andres say these very important information so easily?

Andres continued to narrate: "Since then, I've become addicted to the feeling of devouring souls like those vampires… The pleasure of increasing strength and replenishing spiritual power, once you try it, you can never go back… And the more painful the soul, the more delicious it is. Although I know that this is likely the path of humans falling towards vampires, or even demons and devils, I can't help but occasionally take action, kill people and devour souls, and blame it on the mission targets."

Aestner frowned tightly. He obviously still remembered this incident, because he was the one who led the team to encircle the exiled vampires—most of the blood clans settled in North America were surgeons. With their natural control over flesh and blood, performing various high-risk surgeries for ordinary people was easy. The federation provided food, so most settled blood clans enjoyed normal citizenship and only needed to occasionally report their whereabouts to the Foundation.

But the exiled vampires were different. They were a group of monsters who insisted on killing people and eating their flesh and souls together, so they were wanted and hunted by major forces around the world, and they roamed everywhere.

Andres was a veteran agent specializing in tracking these dangerous Transcendent creatures and criminals, and such hunting operations naturally had casualties. As long as one was careful, it wasn't difficult to hide the past.

"You once swore… never to harm any human being, never to do any evil."

Aestner sighed. The tall man's eyes were filled with regret, but his tone was as cold as the cold wind of the Arctic ice sheet: "How did you deceive the 'Sincere Oath'?"

"The Litany has secret techniques that can confuse the concept of good and evil, replacing the good and evil in the Sincere Oath with the good and evil in my heart."

Andres knelt on the ground and said calmly: "It's really strange… I really want to protect the citizens of the Federation, but, if they aren't citizens of the Federation, I don't feel any guilt when I kill them for some reason…"

Andres was escorted down. Waiting for him was a severe trial by the American Federation officials—although a wave of abolishing the death penalty was rising among ordinary people, for these dangerous Transcendent, after all their value was squeezed out, death was inevitable.

The man didn't have any fearful expression about this. He was calmly escorted down, but he looked at Su Zhou strangely.

"This time, I clearly used the secret method of reversing good and evil."

Andres lowered his head, not daring to look directly at his task force teammates around him, and murmured: "Logically speaking, any camp detection shouldn't work on me… But why, Professor Su, can you see through my essence?"

This was the reason that confused him the most—and it was also the reason that confused everyone present.

And Su Zhou's answer was very simple: "Because my secret method never looks at what others think, but at what I think."

This reason immediately made Aestner, Dao Sheng, Raphael, and Anjay, who were frowning, twitch their eyes—are you also this kind of chaotic judgment? This is exactly the same as the other party!

Sure enough, evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

But they didn't know that Su Zhou's Devouring Demon Lord divine power originated from Yala's sacred geometry cultivation method, which naturally awakened, and the Holy Serpent Spirit Litany was actually borrowing Yala's power… In a sense, Andres' secret technique and Su Zhou were indeed from the same family, but Su Zhou's was stronger.

Since a spy from a mysterious organization had appeared in the American Federation, the other forces naturally had to conduct a test.

Fortunately, apart from the American Federation, there were no spies from mysterious organizations in any other major forces, and Su Zhou had also used the Divine Power of the Devouring Demon Lord to test everyone in turn, and he did not find any extremely treacherous and evil people.

It's not scary to have spies, it's embarrassing for whoever has them.

At this moment, Yala was teasing Su Zhou in the mind space.

"Su Zhou, did you hear that?" The snake spirit said with a smile: "Killing people and devouring souls is the path to falling towards vampires, or even demons and devils… Do you feel pleasure when you eat evil souls? Are you already addicted?"

The soul-devouring secret method and the Devouring Demon Lord, who feeds on evil souls, are essentially similar abilities, and even the behavior and results are very similar.

"First of all, let's not talk about the fact that I am a Demon Lord myself. And my companion seems to be the etymological origin of the word 'devil'."

Faced with Yala's teasing, Su Zhou didn't have any caring expression. He just shrugged: "I have never denied that my ability is indeed very 'evil'."

"But, the most important thing is that everyone has demons in their hearts, and they will look for excuses to do evil at any time… And since I was six years old, when I awakened my initial ability, I have been facing this temptation all the time."

"Those children who were far weaker than me provoked me, those gangsters who would faint if I punched them, and would die if I hit them harder, tried to extort my friends, those criminals openly did evil in front of me… I could undoubtedly use my power to kill them all, whether secretly or publicly, I could do it, and for me, my revenge was justified. It wasn't even considered evil for me to beat them, kill them—at least for the young me at the time, I couldn't understand the meaning of killing people at all."

Speaking of this, Su Zhou laughed: "But I didn't do that. The difference between me and Andres is that he is essentially a normal person, who knows what is good and what is evil, so he needs to use reasons to give himself an excuse to violate the creed in his heart—then, just like a traitor would treat his original comrades more cruelly than an enemy, he would frantically do evil and comfort himself that he was right."

"And I'm never normal. I've always done whatever I want. It's just that I never overstep the mark."

Because of the Andres incident, the rally ended hastily to avoid any more incidents.

"Let's go."

The speaker was Anjay Ilyich, the leader of the Ross Kingdom task force, 'Meteor'. This was a Spiritual Martial arts practitioner who was even stronger than Aestner in terms of physique. His height had exceeded two meters and seven, he was simply a super-giant polar bear, and when he spoke, even the air was vibrating, making people dizzy.

But if you think that Anjay only has a strong physique, you would be very wrong. He possessed powerful wind and fire dual-elemental abilities, and at the same time, he also practiced secret ritual arrays. The solid body formed by Spiritual Martial arts cultivation was the best engraved base for countless secret ritual arrays—in other words, Anjay's whole body was a rocket nozzle made of spiritual power. He could burst out at several times the speed of sound in an instant, rushing into the enemy's formation like a meteorite.

In other words, he was simply a tank equipped with multiple supersonic fighter jet engines.

Before this mission started, relevant logistics personnel had launched drones and miniature reconnaissance aircraft to survey a part of the Beast God Realm's map and ecological environment. The Europa Union and the Zheng Kingdom were responsible for advancing according to the main roads determined on the map, while the American Federation and the Ross Kingdom were responsible for detouring forward according to the alternative routes to attract firepower, and Anjay was good at this.

Kunlun Secret Realm, Central Five Mountains, sealed hall at the foot of the mountain, the white sealed space-time door, was opened by the Zheng Kingdom Dao Discipline Bureau's technicians, and once again transformed into a vortex as black as an abyss.

'Cessation' Raphael took the lead in entering. His granddaughter, Seros, was a member of the logistics team and was responsible for guarding the forward base. She would not enter the Beast God Realm immediately. His deputy was Yuno, a powerful heroic spirit warrior from Northern Europa. He and other Europa task force members were sealed by Raphael one by one into black cards covered with complex patterns.

These specially sealed Transcendent would not lose their free will like normal seals. They could come out to fight at any time according to their own judgment or Raphael's instructions.

Next to enter was the Zheng Kingdom's team. Dao Sheng was the leader, and Su Zhou was the deputy leader of the vanguard. Bai Canglang, the leader of the new generation of the Bai family and the next head of the Bai family, was a scout, while Jin Qiong Garouluo and Tang Yuan were assistants, using the power of the Garuda and spiritualization to cover up the Zheng Kingdom task force's human aura, advancing with the guidance of the Europa task force.

It is worth mentioning that Dao Sheng's proud disciple, Professor Zhang Fucheng, a professor at the Academy of Justice who had also advanced to the Transcendent High-Rank and was familiar with Su Zhou, was also in this task force. During the spiritual energy revival in the past two years, he had gained rich experience in dealing with monsters and was good at tracking secret techniques. Therefore, he defeated a group of competitors and joined the task force.

Su Zhou watched Raphael summon a brown bull, said to be very common in the Beast God Realm, and then seal himself in a card, sticking it on the bull's belly, hidden in the cow's hair—then, the bull gently swayed its tail, and followed Raphael's guidance, entering the black vortex leading to the Beast God Realm.

"Is this the power of sealing? Interesting, very fun. If I have the opportunity, I must spar with Raphael."

He felt a little rare excitement—this was the Transcendent world he was looking forward to, many strange abilities, countless people with their own characteristics, this was life!

Then, Su Zhou followed Dao Sheng's footsteps and entered the space-time door.

This feeling was inexplicably similar to the feeling of traveling through the world through the Heavenly God Seal, but the sense of breakthrough that penetrated something was much weaker.

In an instant, Su Zhou arrived in a new world.

Among the dense jungle, surrounded by towering cliffs.

The fortress built in the mountain forest, surrounded by many tower-shaped buildings, welcomed a new group of owners who were completely different from the previous builders.

The space-time door was located at the top of a tall tower in the center of the fortress. This huge tower, probably used for birds and divine beasts to inhabit, had a radius of 120 meters and was more than 300 meters high. It could be said to be a giant building. Standing on this magnificent tower, the surrounding area and environment could be said to be unobstructed.

Su Zhou looked around, this condescending feeling was indeed very clear. Then, he saw a full view of dim, dark green plant branches and leaves, and the gradually setting sun.

And under the setting sun, the dense white bones around the fortress.

The time between the two worlds was not synchronized, and it was already evening in the Beast God Realm.

The deep and immeasurable light from another world came out of the pitch-black space-time door, but on the back of the space-time door, there was no one or beast guarding it—after the Divine Bird Peacock died, all its plans and secrets were only known to its direct descendants, and the young Divine Bird Peacock had long told all the Divine Birds about the existence of another world, but it did not tell them where the space-time channel was located.

As for why it did this, the answer was very simple. It wanted to let the existence of another world do whatever it wanted and invade the Beast God Realm, so that those alien existences who killed its father would conflict with those traitors, and it would be best if they all died together.

In short, this place was very secret and had not been determined by the Divine Beasts of the Beast God Realm for the time being. Therefore, the mountain fortress built by the Divine Bird Peacock in the past to hold the breaking ritual was now being renovated and utilized by the Zheng Kingdom, and around this fortress, the Zheng Kingdom found countless beast bones.

That was the remains of the tens of thousands of sacrificial beast people who were sacrificed to hold the breaking ritual.

"This world has such heavy baleful aura."

The members of the Zheng Kingdom task force poured out of the space-time door, and when they walked out of the space-time door, they heard Su Zhou's inexplicable sigh as he stared at the bones around the fortress: "But there is surprisingly little resentment—interesting, does that mean that even intelligent life, if its intelligence is sealed, is like a beast, and it is extremely difficult to produce the power of resentment?"

At the same time.

Beast God Realm, Feather Clan, main city.

The resplendent Divine Bird Hall.

The Divine Bird Guiche, who had temporarily occupied the main city and only needed to defeat a few other Divine Birds who were stubbornly resisting, could fix its title as the new King of the Feather Clan, immediately raised its head that was eating, seemingly listening to a secret message from afar.

"You mean, that little peacock guy said that the restrictions he left in the fortress were triggered, and the descendants of those Immortals and Gods have returned through the space-time door again?"

Guiche's first head smacked its lips, its beak closed and opened: "The Oath of the Living Lord, never lie? Really? Isn't that a rumor? Does our Feather Clan's territory really include such a secret realm?"

Its second head swayed back and forth: "Regardless of whether it includes it or not, at least we will definitely have new troubles—the Oath of the Living Lord has been said, it seems that the Immortal Realm really has sent people again."

Guiche's third head was still feasting, and the crude eating method even covered its head with blood.

One could hear faint, desperate pleas.

"Eat me, please, Your Majesty, don't eat my children…"

This was a huge bovine spirit beast. It was still alive, but it had been disemboweled. In its belly, there were also several small calves that had lost their breath, and Guiche's third head was devouring these flesh and blood, and didn't even bother to talk to its other heads.

The bovine beast had intelligence and was still begging, but the Divine Bird didn't care about this.

"The flesh and blood of the lowest level sacrificial and servant species is really a bit tiring to eat." Lowering its head and biting off a calf's head, Guiche's first head smacked its lips, tasting the flavor: "Sure enough, the production species with souls and intelligence are more delicious."

"I don't know why, the ancestral message always doesn't allow us to eat those low-level spirit beasts with souls."
