Chapter 564: Chapter 441 Victory will belong to Humanity!_2 Chapter 564: Chapter 441 Victory will belong to Humanity!_2 With just a glance, Colin recognized the original owner of this figure—the “Starlight Maiden”.

“Hiss…”

Colin looked down at himself only to realize that he seemed to be himself without any changes.

The changes had occurred only in appearance…

Or to be more precise, in the perspectives of others observing him.

“Well, that’s fine. If my appearance had changed into that of a woman as well, that would indeed be somewhat unacceptable,” he muttered, feeling somewhat relieved.

Then he withdrew his gaze, took out his cellphone to compose a message and was about to send it to Old Master Wu…

But before he could send it, he suddenly noticed a new message from the other side.

“Beautiful lady, who are you? Where is he?”

‘Eh? Has he noticed something is amiss, but doesn’t understand the situation?’ thought Colin, surprised.

Perhaps in Old Master Wu’s “view,” he could only perceive that the person he was talking to had changed into the “Starlight Maiden” and did not realize it was Colin who had transformed.

‘Looking at this, the company’s methods are still reliable. Even Old Master Wu, a Ninth Level “Fate Propeller” who always seems so mysterious and knowledgeable, couldn’t detect the issue…’

‘However, on second thought, Old Master Wu is also quite sensitive. If I hadn’t been almost certain that there might be some hidden observers around without actual surveillance, I might have thought he was monitoring me all the time.’

Considering the text on his phone, Colin thought for a moment and chose not to explain this point, but instead sent the message he had just composed.

“Begin to act according to Plan A, meet in the ‘City at the Lake’s Bottom’.”

It was only a few minutes after the message was sent that he received a reply, “OK, I will arrange for Xu Duojin to go.”

Seeing this, Colin put away his phone and began to absorb the knowledge from the “Skirt of Myriad Starlight”.

First, he temporarily inherited some abilities of the “Starlight Maiden”.

Second, there were the “Starlight Maiden’s” personality traits and preferences…

Soon, Colin acquired some peculiar knowledge, such as why the “Starlight Maiden” would lash her believers?

It wasn’t really because of any sadistic tendencies, but rather because, in the “Starlight Maiden’s” eyes, those “believers” looked like succulent, roasted two-legged sheep, exuding an aroma of “humanity” all over.

She couldn’t help but draw out humanity using her own methods.

‘To be specific, it’s more like licking an ice cream? Ugh, that seems even more disgusting. But, the “Starlight Maiden” actively absorbing some humanity? It seems she might have caught a human affliction, and quite a severe one at that…’

Colin stroked his chin, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

Of course, after continuously drawing out these people’s “humanity”, the “Starlight Maiden’s” own character in this human aspect, also began to morph.

Soon, in another place, located in the world’s largest desert, at the central altar of the “City at the Lake’s Bottom”, myriads of starlight converged, and the beautiful and haughty form of the “Starlight Maiden,” with a seemingly perfect sense of proportion, descended.

It was the moment his figure appeared.

The entire “City at the Lake’s Bottom” erupted into anarchy.

“Praise the Highest Being, praise the will of the ‘Dawn Star’!”

“We will follow Your figure, unto death without rest…”

“Please whip me hard! Before I die, I want to feel Your punishing tentacles once more…”

“…”

A mix of praises and mad ravings arrived.

Colin paid no attention to them, but through this location, he sensed some external situations, extended his hand, and bright radiance began to coalesce there.

The next instant, the terrifying presence of the “Dawn Star” made its arrival felt…

Authority from a higher entity spread out like a tsunami…

Meanwhile, outside the “City at the Lake’s Bottom”, in a special Rift Valley, myriads of dense water vapors converged below. Standing at the edge of the chasm looking forward, it seemed as though one could see a “lake” formed by the dense mists.

Occasional flashes within the “lake” subtly refracted the illusion of a city…

“…After all this, even the ‘lake’ in ‘City at the Lake’s Bottom’ is fake,” griped a member of the Heretic Church after realizing this fact.

Clearly, many were deeply deceived by the name.

“The pattern here has already been divined; as soon as the time comes, we’ll charge in and catch them off guard…”

Another member of the heretic forces skilled in divination said.

He was wearing a robe strikingly similar to those of the “Dawn Star” believers, but the constellations painted on his robe did not include the “Dawn Star” but rather other sources of starlight.

Hearing his words, no one objected, as all of these people belonged to the same overarching category of “the cosmos.”

Obviously, to know more details…

In fact, their success in finding the exact location was largely due to the knowledge of these very people.

However, just at this moment, from within the dense fog below the canyon, a terrifying and startling aura suddenly trembled forth.

The moment everyone felt this aura, they involuntarily shivered, and a word flashed across their minds—

“True God”!

Even though everyone’s beliefs differed, the fear of such a high-order being was deep in their bones.

“How is this possible?! According to our understanding, He, He shouldn’t be appearing at this time!” a member of the heretic forces wrapped in a starry robe exclaimed.

“This is just the aura spreading, not the actual arrival, we can’t wait any longer!”

Someone shouted, and immediately, a person made a move, sending out several special chains that pierced into the mist, accurately hitting a twinkling “light.”

Trying to use it to open a path to the inside.

Seeing this, some people hesitated for a moment but also used their own abilities to forcibly push apart the starlight.

A path faintly revealed itself.

“Charge! Follow me to stop the false god’s descent!”

Several dozen heretic believers leaped in without hesitation, and almost the instant they entered, their bodies were crushed and exploded by the invisible power of the starlight, blood and bone scattering…

It was a sight to make one recoil in horror.

However, at that moment, some corrosive force within the blood surfaced, forming a bright red gate amidst the starlight, laying out a path.

“The Red Passage has been established, charge with me!”

A person cried out and leaped forward.

“Kill! For the sake of our Earth’s tomorrow, not to fall into evil hands!”

“To maintain Earth’s purity, our duty is undeniable.”

“…”

Under someone’s rallying cry, thousands of linked members of the heretic forces started to mobilize.

Even though the Red Passage had been established, it did not mean safety.

Upon entering, they immediately encountered various ambushes and attacks, and right from the start, heretic believers equivalent to Level Seven Personnel were severely injured, on the brink of death.

Meanwhile, a group of “Dawn Star” followers also charged out: “For the ‘Master’s’ arrival, everyone, charge with me, destroy this place!”

They were surrounded by countless twinkling stars, secret forces surging, erasing the mysterious power above the Red Passage…

The Red Passage, bolstered by various forces, also showed signs of beginning to collapse.

At this moment, a dying Level Seven cultist suddenly supported the passage, sacrificing all his blood to stabilize the somewhat shaky path!

“Knock down one of me, and more will come! You can’t stop us, victory will belong to humanity!!!”

His already desiccated, skeletal body hadn’t finished speaking when a streak of starlight swept across, cutting him into countless pieces.

It was at this moment that more allied heretic believers trampled over the path solidified by his blood and charged in.

A heretic believer of immense power waved his hand, and dozens of lightning bolts flashed, instantly striking down the enemies in the front.

Then, as they charged fearlessly one after another, the passage was finally completely opened!

After 27 minutes and 06 seconds, they succeeded in breaking through the portal to the “City at the Lake’s Bottom”!
