I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 237 - Faith and the Debt of Blood

Chapter 237: Faith and the Debt of Blood

In the morning, Ling Pingan stood on the balcony with his eyes wide open. He watched the students of the nearby primary schools. Under the lead of the teachers, they walked past the streets with all kinds of flags.
The traffic police and the police rode their motorcycles and followed closely behind.
“The Teachers’ Day parade has begun…” He yawned.
Meow!
His pet meowed softly.
Ling Pingan picked up the little guy. “It’s our day off. Let’s stay at home and sleep in for a day!”
Teachers’ Day was a very important festival in the Federal Empire.
It was also a legal festival.
As a law-abiding citizen, Ling Pingan was very self-aware.
During legal holidays, the bookstore was never open for business.
In the past, he had always been a homebody.
This year, with the addition of a cat, he would still be a homebody!
Let’s face gale!
His phone rang.
Ling Pingan picked it up and looked at it. He was instantly wide awake.
He picked up the phone and smiled as he greeted, “Aunty… why did you remember to call me?”
“Oh…”
“Oh…”
“You’re in Fusang…”
“Is Fusang fun?”
“Yes…”
“As long as it’s fun…”
“What do you want to bring? There’s no need…”
“Yes… yes…”
Ling Pingan put down his phone and looked a little strange.
“She went to Fusang for a Holiday?” He pursed his lips slightly. “It seems that this great-aunt’s salary and treatment has really increased by a lot!”
Although it was the most suitable season for a trip to Fusang.
All tourists in the Fusang Kingdom were provided with a five thousand yuan voucher.
But as everyone knew, people gave you money in the hope that you would fork out more money.
Especially the souvenirs from Fusang, they were really expensive to the heavens!
A small pendant was worth more than a thousand yuan!
And the knives from Fusang..
A knife to cut vegetables could be sold for over ten thousand yuan..
Therefore, how would Ling Pingan dare to ask that great aunt to bring him anything?
… … ..
Putting down the phone, the silver-haired major slightly furrowed her cute brows.
Her small face, which was full of collagen, was slightly puzzled.
“This nephew of mine is really diligent and Thrifty!” She turned her head and said to Chu Weiwei with a smile, “Weiwei, if you marry him in the future, you’ll really be blessed!”
Chu Weiwei’s small face instantly turned slightly red.
For some reason, she actually didn’t have the initial resistance towards the captain’s words.
“Perhaps it’s because the captain says it every day…” She thought.
But..
What did the captain’s nephew look like?
Chu Weiwei somewhat forgot.
She tried hard to recall, but she could only remember an easygoing young man wearing glasses and the wonderful taste of the food he cooked.
But she really didn’t have any other memories!
“Right!” Li Anan’s mind was always flexible, so she quickly changed the topic. “Weiwei, in two days, we’ll set off from the capital and go to Ryukyu to play!”
“I heard that Ryukyu’s beaches are the best in the world!”
“Yes!” Chu Weiwei nodded, and then she asked, “Captain, can your hair really recover in three days?”
Li Anan laughed as she twirled her white hair. “More or less!”
“Look…” She found a strand of hair that was already turning black. “It’s already recovering!”
“Oh…” Chu Weiwei nodded.
… … ..
Ran Bing walked in the church in the floating city.
She raised her head and looked at the beautiful statue of the so-called Angel of Redemption at the top of the church.
At the same time, she looked at the so-called holy book of redemption that was placed on the confessional platform in front of her.
This so-called holy book of redemption was similar to the Holy Book of light of the Church of light in the A1 floating city where she used to be.
Basically, it was replacing the god of light with the Angel of Redemption.
It was all about how the humans of the Old World disrespected XX, so XX sent down divine punishment and destroyed the Old World.
The only way to be saved was to believe in XX and follow XX’s teachings wholeheartedly.
Seeing all this, the murmur in Ran Bing’s ears appeared again.
“I can’t believe that this group of ants actually thought of this method…”
“What method?” Ran Bing was puzzled.
“Belief…” The murmur said softly.
Thus, a hazy scene appeared in front of Ran Bing’s eyes.
Floating cities and churches.
Tens of thousands of believers were praying and praying.
Their faith turned into invisible lines and gathered in the statue of the church.
This was faith!
Faith existed!
The strength of faith had endless uses in theory.
“Is this the purpose of the umbrella?” Ran Bing thought.
She raised the revolver in her hand and aimed it at the statue of the Angel of redemption.
Bang!
A clear gunshot was heard.
The statue was smashed into pieces!
Pieces of rocks fell. Ran Bing ignored all of this and walked towards the rubble.
Then, she picked up a metal box from the pile of rubble.
This was the Umbrella Corporation’s instrument for collecting faith.
With a little force, the box was opened.
At this moment, Han Xu heard the gunshots and walked in with his men.
“What’s Wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing!” Ran Bing looked at the things in the box. “I just discovered the secret of the umbrella!”
Inside the metal box in front of her, glowing crystals were neatly arranged.
These were the savings accumulated by the umbrella in this floating city for more than half a year.
They were all the strength that everyone had gathered through prayer and faith day and night.
Looking at these crystals, Ran Bing felt that her spear spirit was already unable to endure the hunger and thirst!
It was as if these things were extremely nourishing to it.
“What is this?” Han Xu was shocked.
“It’s a product created by someone to manipulate the world…” Ran Bing looked at these things, and all the questions in her heart were answered.
Why did every floating-space city have a religion that was obviously selfish and stupid to the extreme?
Because the umbrella needed this.
Why did these religions all say that the old world was destroyed because they didn’t believe in God?
Because the umbrella needed it!
Why did almost all the floating-space cities announce the abolition of family and marriage relationships in the Old World.
They didn’t even recognize father, son, or husband and wife?
Because they needed a steady stream of people who believed in the so-called gods that they had compiled!
What they needed was people who had no other thoughts other than the gods!
Simply put, umbrella was keeping all the floating cities as livestock!
The people who were kept in the floating cities were even more miserable than the livestock in the Old World!
This was because the breeding factories in the Old World needed to raise their own livestock, but the umbrella didn’t need to do anything. It only needed to control religion!
Then the problem came..
Ran Bing threw a crystal to her gun spirit.
Crack, crack, crack. The sound of chewing immediately came from her revolver.
She turned to look at Han Xu and asked, “Captain Han, where’s your castellan?”
“I want to see him!”
She wanted to ask why the other faction in floating city, the City Lord faction that was obviously against these religious madmen, would tolerate these madmen?
… … ..
Holding the true book of steel, Elizabeth knelt before the altar of steel and chanted a holy prayer. “Ring the bell once…”
Thousands of believers chanted together with her, “Ring the bell once…”
The sacred prayer resounded throughout the entire mountain gorge.
Hundreds of thousands of believers chanted devoutly.
Today was an extremely important day!
The mechanical believers and the people of steel had already exceeded 500,000!
All the Fort Apocalypse that had thousands of miles of mountains and rivers around the sacred altar had now converted to the path of steel.
A grand mass like this could even attract hundreds of thousands of people!
Many people even risked their lives to rush over from the fort hundreds of kilometers away.
Everyone wanted to receive the gospel revelation of machines and receive the blessing of steel!
Because there was a miracle.
Countless people were healed by the incarnation of the Great Soul of machines, the Merciful Gatling Bodhisattva.
And people witnessed with their own eyes how the Merciful Gatling Bodhisattva destroyed the terrifying dark side of the Moon.
Therefore, everyone was extremely devout!
They worshipped, prostrated, and prayed.
The grand praise and neat prayer shook the world.
Countless dense spiritual light merged into the sacred altar of steel in the praise and prayer.
It made it more rounded, sacred, and great.
Up until now, this altar of Steel was beyond recognition!
It was not far away from upgrading!
At most half a month later, it might have an opportunity.
As long as enough flesh and blood of the evil God’s claws could be injected, it might be able to upgrade to the sacred mechanical shrine in one fell swoop!
The soul of machines would become a node for the descent of the great spirit of all machines.
But..
Elizabeth raised her head and looked at the sky.
Ever since the dark side of the Moon had fallen, the Earth’s Sky had once begun to turn blue.
Although the Sun’s light was still cold.
But..
At least, the Blue Sky gave people hope.
But now, the sky was once again eroded by some strength.
A new evil God had appeared on the Moon.
And..
It was very likely that he would launch a surprise attack on the altar of steel on the ground at any time!
Elizabeth could feel it!
The “True steel scripture” in her hand also issued a warning.
The soul of machines would not be allowed to appear in this universe by those detestable evil gods.
They would definitely do everything they could to stop it!
“But…” Elizabeth closed the steel scripture in her hand and laughed. “Ignorant evil gods, how would they know the greatness of the soul of machines?”
“When he descends…”
“The truth and justice of the universe will be reshaped!”
“These despicable evil gods are destined to be swept into the garbage heap!”
There was no doubt about that.
Elizabeth knew that she knew, and she also knew that the evil gods should have felt it.
Otherwise, they would not have come back.
Otherwise, they would not have been afraid to step into the atmosphere.
They only dared to spy from afar outside the atmosphere.
“War is right in front of us…” She thought.
So she held the “True Steel Scripture” in her hand and walked to the sacred altar of steel.
She looked at all the devout believers.
Bhikkhuni of steel began to preach, “The great soul of machines, he is the supreme being of materialism…”
“The billions of turrets are his glory, the roaring engines are his sermons!”
“Because he is the god born in machines, the supreme being born in steel…”
“Because he is so hot!”
“Because he is the Bodhisattva Gatling of Nanwu!”
“Therefore, we should follow his path, just like machines walking on the earth and engines roaring!”
“We should obey his holy words…”
“Amen!”
“Amen!” Countless believers worshiped one after another.
Then, the believers raised their heads and looked at this mechanical nun, Bhikkhuni of Steel.
The soul of machines’representative on Earth, the Bhikhuni of Nanwu, the Bodhisattva Gatling of Nanwu.
Elizabeth said softly, “I announce that, in the name of the soul of machines, from today onwards, I will form a papal army!”
“I announce…”
“In the name of Bodhisattva Gatling of Nanwu, I will establish the steel commandment yard!”
“All the people of steel and the people of machinery have the obligation to participate!”
The power of faith accumulated over the past few days was enough to summon new mechanical guards and steel monks from the altar of steel!
But before that, there was one more thing to do — Pray.
Pray to the great soul of machines and ask for his permission!
Pray to the Merciful Gatling Bodhisattva and ask for his permission!
Therefore, Elizabeth turned around and faced the sacred altar of steel. She knelt on one knee and led all the believers to pray.
“Ring the bell once…”
The holy prayer sounded again.
But this time, their prayers had a clear direction.
The Soul of Machines, the Merciful Gatling Bodhisattva, prayed directly!
The magnificent holy hymn resounded between heaven and earth.
On the Altar of Steel, the dense Holy Spirit Mist was surging.
The soul of machines was reflected in people’s hearts.
It was the Heaven of steel, and also the Promised Land of Machines.
All the people of machines, the warriors of steel, could ascend to that heaven on the final day, when the soul of machines descended.
They could become a member of the Eternal Battle Group of the Great Soul of machines!
… … … ..
It was almost noon.
Ling Pingan watched the soap and family drama on the television.
He was drowsy and yawned.
“Sigh…” He sighed. “This is the bad thing about the mobile Internet era…”
“Male-oriented TV dramas have almost disappeared…”
In the past, historical dramas or war dramas with huge investments were often seen on TV.
However, since the beginning of the mobile internet era.
These things had disappeared.
The reason was very simple. Men had been snatched away by mobile games.
Canyons, chicken eaters, and various card games had devoured countless original TV drama viewers.
Therefore, there were no longer those big movies on the screen.
“Go to sleep…” The bored bookstore owner muttered and turned off the TV. Then, he staggered and walked upstairs.
He walked into the bedroom, lay on the bed, and entered a sweet dream.
In his daze, he seemed to hear some people’s voices.
“Great…” There was a voice begging in his ear, but he couldn’t hear most of the content because there seemed to be some interference or noise. He only heard some words, “We want… the papal army… The Commandment Hall…”
Ling ingan listened and turned around in his dream. He did not quite understand.
But..
He had always been kind and helpful.
Even in his dreams!
So, he grunted and muttered, “Do as you see fit…”
… ..
Elizabeth opened her eyes.
All the believers opened their eyes that had been closed the whole time.
Because, in the altar of steel.
The rumbling oracle was descending!
The steel was vibrating!
The machinery was roaring!
Everyone could feel the nano-machinery and fusion engine in their bodies cheering.
It was the Great God!
The Holy Voice of the Savior born in steel was the sign of the arrival!
“You…”
The holy prayer overflowed from the altar of steel.
Every word was so majestic, full of holiness and greatness.
“Do as you see fit!”
The soul of machines’will was so clear and so generous!
He did not even make any request.
He only approved the people’s request after hearing the prayers of his believers and people!
How merciful!
Everyone was in tears.
The Grace of God was vast!
More than 100,000 believers prostrated themselves and kowtowed to the holy altar, “The soul of machines, your will is our mission!”
They kowtowed one after another, and their faith and devotion to God deepened!
Thus, everyone began to recite the god of Machinery’s prayer of truth, “Ring the bell once, push the lever…”
The voice was like thunder and lightning!
… … ..
After several hours of waiting, Ran Bing finally saw the City Lord of the floating city, in his private cabin.
She looked at the man sitting on the City Lord’s throne.
He looked about fifty years old, wearing the military uniform of the Old World.
There was a general star on his shoulder!
Ran Bing threw the metal box in her hand to the ground.
“City Lord!” She asked, “Do you know the purpose of the Church of Redemption?”
Tyne looked at the girl and nodded his head.
The city Lord, who had lived from the Old World to the present day, picked up a remote control and pressed it. A screen lit up, showing the scene of the Old World’s collapse.
Thick smoke billowed in the sky.
Starships were falling from the atmosphere.
On the ground, people were crying and running in fear.
The earth was cracking and the ocean was roaring.
The world was doomed!
The screen sped up and finally stopped at the scene of countless refugees boarding a floating city.
“Do you know about this?” Tywin asked after playing the video.
Ran Bing nodded.
“Then you should know something about umbrella in the Old World!”
Ran Bing nodded again.
“But you definitely don’t know that umbrella is the builder of all floating cities!” Tywin stood up and touched a statue on his seat. “In the Old World, umbrella is the participant of almost all industries and technologies..
“Pharmaceutical, military, biochemical, agricultural, and even sales..
“They went into every aspect..
“They used money to buy almost everyone, and they lied to everyone..
“We only came to our senses when the old world collapsed…”
Tyne looked up. “But what’s the use of that
“The world has been destroyed… everything no longer exists..
“As for us, these survivors, we have no choice but to rely on our protective umbrella..
“Their spare parts, especially the main engine spare parts of the floating city
“I must be responsible for every single human that survives!”
Ran Bing listened and fell silent.
Because if what Tyne said was true, then if it was her, she would probably have to do the same.
The survival of the world and the survival of the humans were above everything else!
Then she asked, “Are the other floating cities the same?”
Tywin shook his head. “I don’t know…”
“But most of them should be like that…”
“Then…” Ran Bing raised her head and asked again, “City Lord Tywin, do you know where the stronghold of umbrella is?”
Tywin shook his head. “In the Old World, their headquarters was in New York…”
“But now, that place has sunk into the sea..
“Now… where exactly is their headquarters? No one knows..
“But I heard a legend..
“The umbrella was creating an artificial god..
“Before the Old World collapsed, their plan was already close to success..
“But after the Old World collapsed, many of their bases and strongholds were destroyed along with the Old World..
“Some people said that… on the moon, on the back of the Moon, there might be a secret base to protect the umbrella…”
“Perhaps, their headquarters have been moved there…”
“But… no one can confirm it…”
“Because, our starships have all crashed…”
Ran Bing listened. “The Moon?” She thought.
Then she raised her head. “Even on the moon, I will drag them down and kill them all!”
She had this confidence!
Because she was a monster!
A real monster!
A monster that was even scarier than an umbrella!
The song of Shaye rang in her ears.
“Shaye… Shaye…”
“Shaye… Shaye…”
“My lovely daughter…”
“My kind daughter…”
“Mommy Loves You!”
Ran Bing understood that she was not far from being able to read the book of Saya.
“Thank you!” She picked up the gun and the metal box on the ground, turned around, and left.
“Aren’t you going to pursue my responsibility?” Tywin stopped her and asked.
Ran Bing smiled. “City Lord, your responsibility will be pursued and examined by the people of your floating city…”
“Your choice will be judged by history!”
“This has nothing to do with me!”
“History…” Tywin looked up. “Do humans still have a future?”
“Yes!” Ran Bing raised her gun. “As long as I’m alive, humans will definitely be able to return to the surface and rebuild our world!”
“Even if this will turn me into a monster!”
“But history will ultimately give me a correct judgment!”
“Just as history will judge your life, City Lord!”
She pushed them aside and strode forward.
There was no longer a need to stay here.
She would continue on her journey and continue to search for umbrella.
Until every single member of that evil company was exterminated!
Their plan of eternal life and the so-called gods were dragged to hell and torn to shreds!
This was her mission!
Even if she had to transform into a monster, even if she had to transform into a terrifying inhuman existence, she wouldn’t hesitate!
Because, the debt of blood must be paid in blood!
