Chapter 660 Rescue
Countless bizarre and twisted monsters surged toward Joan of Arc's caravan, seemingly intent on tearing them to shreds.
However, a considerable number of them are actually believers with self-awareness. It's just that they are not yet aware of the changes that have occurred in them, or rather, Jiang Shuzhou has distorted this awareness.
"roar!"
Roars of anger and screams of terror rang out; these were the only sounds they could utter.
Instinctively, they planned to seek help from Joan of Arc, the most authoritative and powerful figure here, who represented the gods.
However, what they received in response was a beam of cold light.
John felt something was wrong; he seemed to be missing something, yet also seemed to have something extra.
So he looked at the team in the very center.
He looked at Joan of Arc.
"roar!"
What was meant to be a plea for help turned into an aggressive roar.
Then, without warning, a sharp sword pierced him directly.
Immediately afterwards, intense holy light enveloped his body.
Then, in just a few seconds, his body melted instantly, turning from a huge creature into a puddle of fleshy liquid.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Amidst the roars of the surrounding paladins, these unaffected and still "loyal" paladins immediately formed ranks and began to slaughter the twisted flesh monsters with abandon.
Among them, Griffiths led the charge, and he killed with great gusto.
This time, not only was the fortified city completely transformed into a bloodbath and a source of pollution, but many high-ranking members of the church were also killed in the process.
Of course, Griffith's blasphemous act against the priest went unpunished.
"Those people, they..."
Seeing Joan of Arc quickly regain her senses and swiftly deal with her mutated colleagues and the mutated believers who were attacking her, Joan of Arc was momentarily lost in thought.
Despite being prepared, the sight of a colleague transformed into a monster still evokes a sense of sadness.
In just a moment, in a mere instant, the city became a ghost town.
What kind of power is this?
So terrifying, so... twisted.
"Damn evil god, I will tear you to pieces!"
Making a silent vow, Joan of Arc gritted her teeth, then swung her sword and charged towards the monsters.
The Holy Slash!
A blinding flash of holy light engulfed the surrounding mass of fleshy monsters, instantly scorching them into pools of blood and gore, or even annihilating them entirely.
All I can say is that Joan of Arc's strength is undeniable.
The fact that she was able to oust her teacher and become pope herself already proves her extraordinary strength.
If it weren't for the fact that there were survivors in the city, she probably would have already used all her strength to raze the city to the ground.
Of course, that's impossible. Anything produced by Jiang Shuzhou is bound to be of high quality; this kind of attack can't even scratch the surface.
This was nothing more than Joan of Arc's wishful thinking.
"You really are..."
Wojnarowski, standing to the side, was speechless.
This guy really dares to do things.
"You see, even if the gods come out, they won't hear the cries of these believers, and Jesus won't grant their wishes, but I'm different; I will."
"I will grant their wishes, without any price, without requiring faith, but..."
Jiang Shuzhou paused for a moment, then spoke.
"How it was achieved, I don't care."
These words were utterly heartless, but Wojnarowski couldn't refute them.
After all, Jiang Shuzhou wasn't wrong.
This guy really did fulfill these people's wishes.
"This performance is good; perhaps it can be solidified as an evolutionary milestone..."
Jiang Shuzhou was watching with great interest the countless fleshy creatures below fighting against the Joan of Arc paladins.
He treated these paladins entirely as experimental testing tools.
As for those flesh-and-blood creatures?
He has plenty of these things; he can make billions of them whenever he wants.
This time, he essentially used the entire city to conduct a lottery, and Jiang Shuzhou did not intervene in the transformation process of these flesh and blood monsters at all.
The shapes they change into are completely random.
Jiang Shuzhou, on the other hand, only needed to see the results.
And the result...
Not bad, at least there are a few creatures that are worth using as evolutionary templates, so it can be considered a success.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"There, there are people!"
Joan of Arc looked at the brother and sister embracing each other, her expression filled with emotion.
Surprisingly, some people actually survived.
Jiang Shuzhou is not a devil. For those believers who are terminally ill, beyond cure, and whose faith cannot be changed, Jiang Shuzhou will naturally not give them a good outcome.
However, Jiang Shuzhou was relatively kind to these children who were simply trying to save their younger sister.
Not only did she directly save his sister, but she also gave him the knowledge needed for his sacrificial ritual, making it easier for him to see her again. She also drove away those mindless flesh and blood creatures to ensure his safety.
This is arguably the most conscientious thing Jiang Shuzhou has ever done.
However, such people are relatively few. The vast majority of people were deemed unqualified by Jiang Shuzhou, and the implementation of their wishes was distorted, turning them into flesh and blood creatures.
It must be said that compared to converting people on sight, fulfilling the other party's wishes can indeed open Jiang Shuzhou's mind and bring out countless solutions.
For example, a thinker with an enormous brain used for calculation.
This is the method Jiang Shuzhou came up with to achieve his goal after hearing the other person's wish to become the smartest person.
It must be said, it was quite a success.
Ordinary people simply don't have this kind of computing speed. Perhaps with some training, this thing could become the central AI of the Flesh and Blood Mage Tower.
It just needs some further optimization.
"Hey you over there, it's not safe here. Get down quickly, let's go together. I'll protect you!"
Jiang Shuzhou was still thinking when a loud voice rang out.
That was Joan of Arc's voice.
Is this to save them?
Jiang Shuzhou glanced at Woking and then read helplessness in his eyes.
To be protected by a mere mortal is, frankly, a little embarrassing.
Of course, this didn't matter to Jiang Shuzhou; in fact, it was somewhat ironic.
They killed the believers just to save Jiang Shuzhou.
What an irony.
But it was really interesting.
Therefore, Jiang Shuzhou did not object at all, and was rescued by Joan of Arc along with Woking.
"Your face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Joan of Arc scrutinized Jiang Shuzhou's handsome appearance, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
However, she couldn't remember.
Generally speaking, legendary memories are terrifying. If Joan of Arc had met Jiang Shuzhou, she shouldn't have forgotten him.
However, Jiang Shuzhou's mechanism was even more advanced, causing Joan of Arc to completely forget.
"If you ask me, if I don't remember you, it just means I've never seen you before. You're so busy with your work, you probably just saw my picture on some street corner. There's no need to make a fuss."
