I'm the Mysterious Leader of the Salvation Organization

Chapter 425

The gas tank of the car exploded, and flames soared into the sky on the main street of Tatsumi City.

A remarkably strong and sturdy figure descended from the sky, resembling solid rock. He glanced at the terrified crowd and rushed towards a middle school girl who stood frozen in fear.

"It's you!" shouted the big guy made of rocks.

This extraordinary figure made of rock possesses an innate physical power, and his size has been gradually increasing as he grows stronger. Currently, he stands at over three meters tall.

The big guy made of rocks charged towards the middle school girl, laughing wildly. Meanwhile, she trembled in fear, standing still and unsure of what to do, completely unaware of why he was coming towards her.

The reason was simple - she was one of the more than a thousand individuals whose soul fluctuations seemed to suggest they "knew something"

(Translated by Gravity Tales 😊)

That is the possibility of winning the "first prize."

The big guy made of rocks chuckled as he approached the middle school girl, getting closer to her by a few meters, and even reaching out his hand.

Although he didn't possess the ability to decipher souls, he happened to have a relic that had this very power.

So, the big guy made of rocks wanted to capture the girl, shatter her soul and decipher it.

Perhaps it was because Tatsumi City had already taken this into consideration, having screened and identified in advance... In these past few days, almost all the extraordinary individuals who arrived in Tatsumi City possessed soul-based abilities and items.

"Ah!"

The middle school girl screamed and shut her eyes. Her umbrella slipped from her hand as she awaited the arrival of misfortune.

However, that moment never arrived.

The tall and strong super being suddenly became immobile, unable to move even an inch, while his eyes gradually grew confused.

An invisible force forcibly held him under its control.

"Piggy, in front of my mighty power, your muscles are nothing at all."

Before she even knew it, Maryse found herself standing next to a middle school girl.

In her mouth, she still had a lollipop, and her face was full of disdain.

The mighty rock man was completely under Maryse's control, unable to move a single finger. He didn't even know what had happened.

"End your life, you worthless being."

After Maryse finished speaking, she reached out and covered the eyes of the middle school girl, not wanting her to see the gruesome scene.

The manipulated superhuman let out a cry and unexpectedly unleashed a tremendous strange power, twisting his own neck barehandedly.

"Wow, you are really strong!"

Maryse constantly licked her lollipop, with no expression on her face. Her speech had a slight slur, and raindrops fell on her delicate cheeks.

"These people suddenly seemed to have gone mad, causing chaos and killing in Tatsumi City. I wonder why... So strange," she whispered to herself.

In Tatsumi City, during the past few hours, a frenzy erupted among all the outsiders with extraordinary abilities. They were going mad and committing murders everywhere in the city. The Imperial Guards and Night Watchers have already been mobilized. The city just issued a curfew, notifying everyone to go home immediately and refrain from wandering the streets.

On the pedestrian street, there were people who hadn't made it home yet because of a major traffic jam. Unfortunately, they encountered an attack by individuals with extraordinary abilities.

Maryse's heart finally calmed down after her escape, and she immediately trembled as she ran away. She was so scared that she didn't even have a chance to say thank you to the middle school girl.

Just at that moment, Maryse's heart heard a voice.

[It's not surprising, because all of us want to be the first to 'redeem' and receive the special prize promised by His Majesty the Steel Throne... After all, no one knows if only one person will be able to fulfill their wish after the task is completed, or if everyone will have the chance...]

Maryse turned around and squinted her eyes as she looked toward the nearby place.

That was an ancient dragon descendant, dressed in a black robe, covered in scales from head to toe, and holding a staff in his hand.

Maryse noticed that he was staring in the direction she was standing.

"Only you, a extraordinary person who has become a ruler, dare to challenge me?"

Maryse smiled.

I am now a bona fide Apocalypse!

Demigod!

"Of course not, the power of the Apocalypse is so strong that it makes me want to bow down whenever I see it, but...

The old dragon descendant smiled and said, "Our ultimate goal is not just to defeat you."

[Get ready!]

Maryse was momentarily taken aback when she heard the voice in her heart, but soon realized their true intentions. In fact, it was still the same middle school girl from earlier.

Why?

What could possibly be so important about that girl?

Although Maryse wasn't sure of the exact reason, she understood very well that it was best not to let her enemies achieve their goal.

She immediately turned around, sensing the ground trembling.

Soon after, a gigantic steel robot, towering over ten meters tall, emerged from deep underground.

It suddenly extended multiple mechanical tentacles and reached out towards the middle school girl who was running away.

Robot?

Maryse immediately felt a tightness in her heart. Her most exceptional ability, her telepathic powers, were completely ineffective against machines, after all!

No wonder, she hadn't heard anyone else's thoughts at all just now.

This thing simply doesn't possess a mind.

"Stop!"

Maryse hurled the coin from her hand and accelerated to the extreme with "Deep Red - Divine Punishment." In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a blur and struck the mechanical arm directly.

Speed is power!

The coin, surpassing the speed of sound, struck the robot with immense force, causing it to drastically change direction. As a result, the mechanical tentacles failed to grasp the middle school girl.

Immediately after, the robot uncontrollably tilted, toppled, and rolled directly towards the middle school girl, poised to crush her.

"Ah!"

Looking at the enormous figure collapsing, the middle school girl screamed in fear!

Maryse wanted to rush over and rescue the person, but then she suddenly realized that her body couldn't move at all.

In the hands of the elder dragon descendant, the scepter was emitting a peculiar green glow.

It was precisely this special green glow that had taken control of Maryse's body... Her shadow struggled as it was pulled towards the green light.

Civilization-level Relic?

Maryse blinked in surprise, realizing that the other person was able to overcome her "glow" and instantly take control of her body. It was clear that they must have used a Civilization-level Relic.

"BOOM!"

The enormous robot didn't completely fall down. Instead, it was lifted up single-handedly by a girl wearing a sunhat.

The middle school girl was so frightened that her eyes stared blankly. Yuling calmly said, "Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Flow of the Heart: Heavy Rock.

With a mighty force.

She gently pushed, and the colossal robot flew directly out, tumbling a great distance away.

Yuling, a sudden appearance, rescued the middle school girl.

Yuling, a descendant of an ancient dragon, exclaimed in disbelief, "What are you doing, Yuling? Hurry and kill her directly! I've already mentioned before the battle that I can use magic to take away her soul, there's no need to leave anyone alive!"

"But I don't want to harm the innocent!" Yuling's expression became serious as she gently shook her head.

"Fly!"

At that moment, Maryse, filled with anger, broke free from the control and instantly conjured a black magic wand. She pointed it at Yuling, and in the next moment, the girl with the baseball cap was forcefully flung away by an invisible, tremendous power.

She wanted to transform her body through the Flow of the Heart, but she realized that she couldn't move at all. She couldn't adopt the "posture" required for the ritual.

This powerful force sent Yuling flying hundreds of meters, crashing into a completely empty department store.

"Damn, it seems like she became stronger after her anger!"

The ancient dragon descendant was taken aback. The Civilization-level Relic's control ability could actually be easily overcome. Is this the true power of an Apocalypse-level warrior?

"Go away and never come back!"

Maryse's eyes were filled with anger as she forcefully waved her delicate wand. The ground around her started to lift, mercilessly hurling itself towards the ancient dragon descendant!

"Oh!"

In a moment of terror, the ancient dragon descendant hastily unleashed a defensive spell, only to be instantly overwhelmed by a downpour of stones.

In the next moment, the sky revealed several hidden, lurking robots. They took aim at Maryse and the terrified middle school girl, firing numerous miniature missiles.

At the same time, Yuling transformed into a gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, she leaped across hundreds of meters and swung her fist towards Maryse.

Flow of Heart - Wind.

A miracle occurred.

This move is the secret technique of Flow of the Heart, enabling the practitioner to continuously exist in a unique state similar to wind but not entirely wind. It grants near-immunity to most attacks and significantly increases movement speed.

"Go away!"

Maryse grew increasingly angry, a powerful aura bursting forth from her soul. Fairy tale magic, or rather, chaotic magic, immediately soared to greater heights!

Yuling Yuling, overwhelmed with frustration, rolled backward as the miniature missiles exploded one by one in mid-air. She gritted her teeth, unable to resist the relentless assault.

So strong!

She finally managed to steady herself, ready to launch a counterattack.

"Hurry, retreat! The reinforcements for the Babel Tower have arrived!"

Just at that moment, Yuling heard the voice of H1-K7 through her headphones. Instantly, her intuition surged, sensing a tremendous danger.

Terrifying malice!

Yuling blinked in surprise, realizing that the woman had arrived!

Then, she noticed that the aura of the old dragon descendant had vanished into thin air, indicating that this person had slipped away quickly.

Just behind Yuling, a shimmering halo appeared. If she rushed towards it, she would be able to return to the masked woman's special realm.

"This is..."

For a brief moment of hesitation, Yuling widened her eyes and attempted to rush towards the halo. However, her body suddenly froze in place.

Not only her body, but the entire world also fell into a complete freeze in that moment.

The blade sliced through.

Time returned to normal.

In that instant, Yuling was terrified to discover that the life-saving halo in front of her had vanished without a trace.

The next moment, she felt a piercing pain radiating from her lower body.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

She wailed and collapsed to the ground, her agile legs snapped clean off at the roots, with blood gushing out like a never-ending fountain, mingling with the rainwater.

The indescribable and never-before-experienced excruciating pain almost caused Yuling to faint.

Why is it like this?

Why did this happen?

Am I going to die?

No!

I don't want to die, I don't want to yet...

Help me, who can help me!

Mu Ling stood in front of Maryse, looking at the weary half-elf girl. She nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I arrived a bit late. There were too many places where trouble occurred... These merciless invaders deserve to perish."

"It's okay, I'm fine, just a little tired," Maryse smiled weakly, her face pale.

She took a glance and realized that the middle school girl had survived, letting out a sigh of relief.

"We have to take her away in a little while. Reading her mind made me realize that this girl seems to be very important."

"Hmm."

Rainwater splashed onto Yuling's frightened face.

She crawled in absolute terror, hoping to escape from here.

Just then, Yuling noticed the Hound of Babel Tower standing before her.

"Do not kill me, please, I beg of you..."

Plop.

The blade pierced Yuling's shoulder, piercing through her bone, causing the girl to cry out in agony once again.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Mu Ling said calmly, "I have already tried to persuade you, but instead, you destroyed my home and nearly killed my last remaining loved ones... And now, you are unleashing violence upon this city once again."

"I, I don't have, I..."

Fear, sadness, despair, confusion, and countless complex emotions surged within.

Yuling cried helplessly.

Mu Ling remained silent.

Maryse lazily said, "Since your heart softened, don't kill her. I just checked my memories, and she truly hasn't been indiscriminately killing innocent people... she's just a little one who has been brainwashed by a sense of justice."

Even without being able to read minds, Mu Ling knew that her heart had softened.

Otherwise, this person doesn't have a tendency to abuse others. Instead, they have a slight inclination towards being submissive. During battles, they usually just aim to decapitate without wasting words.

"Um."

Mu Ling nodded gently and she sheathed her sword.

"This is the final warning, this place isn't suitable for you... find a way to hide, and then go back home."

Maryse and Mu Ling left one after the other, paying no further attention to the girl lying on the ground.

In the rain, Yuling gently used the Flow of the Heart to reconnect her broken legs with bits of remaining forest essence, and then she curled up on the ground in pain.

Tears streamed down her face, and her nose and eyes were full of tears and mucus.

"Mom, I'm very scared, I want to go home."

--

On the outskirts of Tatsumi City, above the streets.

A black glow bloomed in the air.

Space twisted and wriggled, constantly flickering, as an intangible and formless force of chaos began to gather.

Doodles made strange and peculiar creatures appear out of thin air, one after another.

A gigantic black beetle, the size of a small mountain, emerged from underground. On the beetle's back, there was a massive, menacing face that belonged to a man.

The face on the black beetle grinned and said, "The appetizers have already arrived; now it's our turn to follow. We must thank the Steel Throne for providing us with numerous cannon fodder."

The Nullify and Abyssal setups had been removed, but they left behind the coordinates to World of Noah, along with the weakened spatial barrier of Tatsumi City. So, the Doomsday Race, after paying a hefty price, finally managed to forcefully arrive in this world.

At this very moment, numerous peculiar and bizarre creatures had arrived in Tatsumi City. They were all members of the Doomsday Race, a united force of beings who worshipped the Black Abyss Deep Sea. Humans represented only a small fraction among them.

At this moment, the Doomsday Race that arrived in Noah consisted mostly of powerful individuals from the infamous "Doomsday Race" from various multiverses. None of them had strength below that of a Crown, and three of these strong warriors had even reached the Apocalypse.

One of them was a beetle as black as a towering mountain, known as the "Black Mountain."

In addition to that, there was a female elf wrapped in bandages from head to toe, with a single eye and an aloof expression. She was known as the "Devotee," serving the gods.

Finally, there was an amorphous mass of black, viscous liquid. It rested inside a crystal jar, being held by a servant. It was known as the "Demon of the Skies," peacefully resting.

They were the "Three Kings" beneath the command of the hundred-armed giant, "Nullify." They were all exceptionally powerful beings of Apocalyptic level, and each possessed formidable abilities.

In the hands of the elf maiden wrapped in bandages, there was a black crystal ball that emitted a constant dim glow.

From within the black crystal ball, there came a distant and profound, yet heavy voice.

"To me, going to that world also means facing the risk of being killed by gods... It would be better if you don't require me to go there personally."

"Yes, master."

The elf woman, wrapped in bandages from head to toe, nodded slowly, showing great respect for the voice.

If they fail, the masters of the Doomsday Race will arrive.

That was a formidable being with near-divine power, a terrifying strongman of the chaotic world, a hundred-armed giant who had endured countless ages.

The heartfelt messenger of the Black Abyss Deep Sea.

"Nullify"

In this city, no one could stop the will of this chaotic strongman.

The Doomsday Race has already understood that, no matter what, the fall of this city and the liberation of the mighty Black Abyss Deep Sea have become inevitable at this very moment in time!
