Chapter 302: Chapter 119: Redemption Across Time! Are You Afraid of God? No, I’m Afraid of You. _3

When Elizabeth’s eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Booker,

opposing soldiers were continuously pouring into the Hero Hall, which was like a maze.

There was no time for the two of them to chat in detail, as Booker and Elizabeth were caught up in a fierce battle.

However, during combat, players would find that General Slate was not invincible.

Or rather, he and Comstock were not of the same mind.

From the phonographs gathered everywhere, it was not difficult to discover his profound disdain for Prophet Comstock at heart.

He claimed Comstock had usurped the honor that rightly belonged to The Seventh Legion.

And he attributed all the credit to himself, gaining considerable public prestige, which provided the opportunity for him to rule Sky City independently as the Prophet.

"No wonder, when Booker entered the door earlier, he cursed in confusion at the sight of that statue."

"Turns out he attributed others’ merits to himself," Dai muttered softly.

The fight quickly resumed.

After finally dealing with Slate,

in the game, Booker and Elizabeth pushed open the back door of Hero Hall and proceeded straight to The First Lady airship.

As soon as he boarded the airship, Booker quickly walked to the control room and started rapidly setting the coordinates of the airship’s route.

But Elizabeth, who followed closely behind, keenly noticed something odd about the coordinates.

"What is that? North latitude 40, west longitude 74, that’s not Paris, that’s New York!"

"How did you know that...?"

Elizabeth, hands on her hips and eyebrows slightly raised in anger, scoffed, "I had one thing called time inside that tower, Mr. Booker, I could study a thing called geography."

"And, your ’heroic’ performance at Wounded Knee River was really something, partaking in a massacre, killing so many surrendered Indians, yet you’ve concealed it from me the whole way, and now you want to take me to New York... I think, I need an explanation, Mr. Booker."

Booker, who had always been evasive, saw that he could no longer hide the truth.

He also hadn’t expected that his own comrades were now serving Comstock.

After a moment of silence, Booker’s voice was hoarse as he spoke frankly, "I owe a lot of money to someone, there’s a guy... willing to wipe out all my debts in exchange for just one thing: you."

As he finished speaking,

Elizabeth, finally knowing the truth, showed a look of disbelief.

It was as if the man who had accompanied her all this way was incredibly strange to her.

Her gaze quickly dimmed as she staggered back two steps and covered her face, weeping softly.

The bewildered Booker sighed lightly, walked behind her, and gently patted her shoulder, "Don’t be like this, things might not be as bad as you think, maybe my employer just wants to take you away from this misery, it would at least be better than staying here..."

Before Booker could finish,

Elizabeth grabbed a wrench from a nearby toolbox and, turning around with gritted teeth, knocked Booker out cold with it.

In a daze, you could see Elizabeth clumsily trying to change the course of the airship.

But she soon encountered an enemy interception.

Before the enemies boarded the airship, Elizabeth hesitated, glanced at Booker,

then with difficulty opened the hatch, abandoned the ship, and left him behind.

At least in the eyes of this girl,

the Booker who killed innocents and hid the truth with lies and deception along the journey was no longer trustworthy.

When Booker awoke, the airship had been occupied by a resistance organization called "Voice of Justice."

The leader of the resistance, Daisy, approached Booker, requesting his help with a task in return for the airship.

She said, the dream of Columbia was built on the oppression of the underclass colored people.

In the bright and beautiful upper districts, countless opportunities and riches awaited, and every person was dressed neatly, living carefree lives.

But in the filthy lower districts, the lowest citizens toiled endlessly in exchange for meager wages barely enough to scrape by.

She was fortunate to have been chosen to work in Prophet’s household.

Yet one day, she watched, horrified, as the Prophet strangled his wife in bed, and she fled the household in fear.

But she couldn’t escape punishment.

The Prophet began to publicly decree that Daisy was the murderer of his wife, and she was wanted throughout the city.

Having escaped to the lower district, Daisy had an epiphany and started inciting the bottom-level workers to rise up, planning to overthrow the governance of Sky City.

Therefore, she needed Booker, the man who had stirred up a storm in the city, to go to the Finkton area’s large gunsmith shop to make contact with a Chinese man named Lin Chen.

To provide more firepower support for the resistance, in order to secure a final victory.

As the story progressed,

it seemed everything was coming to light.

"Infinite" wants to tell players a very simple and clichéd story: If you want to save everyone and atone for past sins, you must first kill a demon.

This demon is none other than the Prophet Comstock, the well-loved idol of the upper district’s populace with an admirable façade.

Establish a big boss and then fight on behalf of the lower classes—

this is a common narrative tactic used in all conflict-driven literature and film.

But when players start to think so,

they find that the subsequent developments exceed everyone’s expectations!
