127: Section 127

"My daughter might be inside, please..."

The cries grew hoarse and desperate. No one opened the door; no one was interested in her pleas.

It seemed that in the eyes of those believers, the commotion outside was nothing more than the devil's temptation.

Therefore, they only prayed more loudly and with even more fanatical piety...

Rose knelt on the ground in a disheveled state, tears rolling down silently: "Why? Why..."

Looking at Rose like this, Su Ming thought of something.

It seemed he had... skipped a plot point?

At this point in time, Sharon should still be wandering around the town...

Clearly, Pipi Xi also noticed something amiss: "What do you think?"

"How about... we clear this with brute force?"

"I have no objection. Such blind and twisted faith; it would be easier to just burn it all down."

Even though Pipi Xi appeared unserious and showed hints of being a troll, she was an artificial personality edited from the original's thought patterns, which destined her to be a decisive and ruthless angel.

With a metallic clang, the Dark-Silver longsword was unsheathed.

A flash of silver light, and a straight sword mark began to expand across the church.

Boom! The upper part of the church, more than half of it, slid down to the ground as a whole.

Dust and smoke filled the air, accompanied by screams and curses.

Cries of despair echoed, such as "The devil has come to kill us!" and "The holy ground is gone, we're doomed!"

Pipi Xi's face turned black.

What an insult! I am a dignified angel, and yet there comes a day when I am mistaken for a devil!

Boom! Crimson flames erupted, and another fiery sword energy shot out.

It landed deep within the dust-filled church, and ninety percent of the noisy screaming instantly ceased!

The dust was incinerated by the thousands-of-degrees temperature, the church ruins vanished in an instant, and the earth was melted into a deep pit a hundred meters in diameter!

Only the altar in the center managed to hold up.

Su Ming's eye twitched. Flame Judgment! What are you doing? A cannon... no, this is like using a star-destroying cannon to swat a mosquito! Pipi Xi was still too irritable!

"...Phew!" Exhaling deeply, Pipi Xi raised an eyebrow at Su Ming: "Don't worry, I didn't kill them all. The rest is up to you."

Oh, right, right, right! You certainly showed mercy.

It was undeniable that if Pipi Xi had truly wanted to be ruthless, a full-power Flame Judgment would have wiped out not just the church, but the entire Silent Hill!

One had to know that Hexi was also an expert in micro-wormhole algorithms. In front of her, the distinction between the surface and inner worlds simply didn't exist!

However... Christabella wasn't dead... but this bishop, severely burned all over and cowering in terror on the altar... was already starting to die... or rather...

Sighing, Su Ming used Blink to arrive on the altar.

Looking down at the mess at his feet, Su Ming asked expressionlessly: "Bishop Christabella, right? I have a question here that requires your cooperation..."

Chapter 145: Ragnarok and False Faith

Christabella, the bishop of a certain cult in Silent Hill. She was the spiritual leader of the survivors.

But she was also the mastermind behind Alessa's tragic fate.

Prolonged brainwashing-style PUA had fried the CPUs of the surviving believers, and they fanatically and twistedly revered everything Christabella said.

In their hearts, that was the oracle!

But in essence, Christabella was not some saint who feared not death.

She was just a rather unique careerist, someone who constantly held onto the power of scriptural interpretation, using terror to eliminate dissenters in the name of the church and faith, and using religious rules to satisfy her own selfish desires—a person greedy for power!

The reason she was called unique was because... she possessed an almost instinctive perception of darkness!

In this regard, the woman prided herself on having eyes that could see through sin... And because of this... in this woman's eyes, Su Ming was not human at all!

The guy in front of her was surrounded by starlight, and ancient chants sang continuously with the pulse of the galaxy!

He... no, was He a god?

Yet in His shadow, it reflected mountains of corpses and seas of blood, reflecting the struggles and wails of endless undead and vengeful souls!

Then... was He a devil? That wasn't right either! How could a devil be so holy and magnificent?

For a moment, Christabella's CPU was about to fry...

Su Ming frowned: "Your Excellency Bishop, please answer my question. What on earth are you and your church worshipping?"

"You..."

Forget it! Having just heard the sound of the other party's voice, which was like rusted metal rubbing against each other, Su Ming lost interest.

With Creator Status activated, he reached out and grabbed the void...

At that moment, Christabella's body suddenly arched backward, her eyes hollow, and her whole body twitched uncontrollably.

But at the same time, strands of memory precipitated out like light mist.

With a wave of his hand, the Dark Matter Computing Cloud boosted Data Intrusion to forcefully intervene.

A moment later, Christabella's eyes rolled back, and she collapsed silently onto the altar.

With a flash, Pipi Xi flew forward: "How is it?"

Su Ming frowned and shook his head: "It's very strange! According to this woman's memories, they are indeed worshipping Jehovah, but the doctrine is severely distorted. The direct result is that, within the collective faith of Jehovah, they inadvertently split off a lower-level faith entity that conforms to their doctrine!"

Pipi Xi also frowned: "That is indeed strange. However, I am more curious why you would use a description like 'Jehovah collective faith'?"

Su Ming spread his hands: "Because the real Jehovah is gone!"

"Huh?"

"I'm not wrong, and you heard me right! The real Jehovah may have left this world long ago, or perhaps He has already fallen... I cannot judge."

Pausing, Su Ming continued: "But one thing is certain: this world is falling into Ragnarok. The true gods are absent, and what remains in the world are merely false gods condensed from faith!"

Hiss! Pipi Xi gasped. Terrifying! It was too damn terrifying.

Ever since the angel followed Su Ming and shared in the knowledge of many idealistic and extraordinary fields, Hexi's understanding in this regard had improved by leaps and bounds!

She knew very well what that meant.

When the church was still intact, the extreme holy power attached to it indicated... the idealistic ratio of this world must be very high, high enough to manifest faith.

But... this was definitely not a good thing. At the very least, it was very bad during the current Ragnarok!

"Without the will of a true god to organize faith and discard impurities, those false gods condensed from mortal faith are likely to turn the world upside down!"

"That's why I said this world is very complicated..."

This horror world, could it not be complicated? Whatever true gods or false gods.

Rose didn't want to deal with those things; right now she only cared about one question: "Mr. Omar, Ms. Hexi... um, why can't we sit down and talk calmly? Look, she's almost dead."

F*ck! A saint-mother?! Su Ming cursed irritably: "Go stand aside, don't cause trouble!"

Uh... Rose still wanted to argue, but after a glare from Su Ming, she immediately behaved.

In the original work, this woman had seen Alessa's memories in the town, and she wasn't this much of a saint-mother back then.

Su Ming was thinking, maybe he should just knock this woman out to avoid her causing trouble. He couldn't help it; he just hated stupidity!

Glancing at Rose, Pipi Xi sighed lightly and shook her head slightly.
