Tiga returns to take a leisurely look at human affairs

The Church of the Ascended, before super-ancient humans proposed the ascension plan, actually had another name - the Church of the Scepter.

Its meaning is, a scepter in service to the King of Men.

The Church of Scepter does not respect any so-called god. It only believes in the concept of human beings and the king of ancient humans who carries this concept and represents the will of all mankind.

Ancient human society was a cruel world of calculating, killing, and winner-take-all. The capable could thrive in it, while the weak could only become tools of the strong, or be treated as outcasts.

The Church of Scepter is an exception. As long as you join this church, swear to dedicate your loyalty to the King of Humanity, and then pass the King's assessment and become the backbone of the defense of the King of Humanity, you can get the King's protection.

Therefore, for the losers, losers, and stupid people in ancient human society, joining the Church of the Scepter became their only way to avoid being hunted and save their lives.

Of course, many ancient humans who joined the church regarded the Church of Scepter as a springboard to make a fortune, or intended to use the power of the church to serve themselves, or even to steal the authority of the church from the king of mankind.

But without exception, these people all ended up dead. I don’t know what methods the previous kings of mankind and bishops of scepters used. They could always ensure that the loyal ones survived in the church, and the traitors died after being squeezed out of all their value. .

And this is also the reason why the authority of the King of Ancient Humanity and the status of the Church of Scepter have always been unshakable.

In the eyes of super-ancient humans, the Church of the Scepter is the symbol of the unbreakable royal power in the hands of the King of Humanity.

But as a contemporary bishop after the Church of the Scepter was renamed the Church of the Ascended, Osor also knew more secrets about the church and the true relationship between the church and the King of Humanity.

For example... the founder of the Church of the Scepter, the first-generation church controller named "Bishop Hollow", in fact, his true identity is actually the first-generation king of mankind who faked his death and escaped from his shell, and successfully retired from behind the scenes.

In the secret history recorded by the Church of the Scepter, the first king of mankind was on a tour when he encountered a giant of light who crushed his chariot and was punched through the chest by another giant who shrunk in size. In fact, he did not immediately change his mind. die.

Because he once used some secret means to sign a contract with an alien race called the Kirialodians on behalf of all mankind as the king of mankind.

According to the requirements of the contract, humans can obtain the method of gathering and using the power of faith from the Kyriarodians. When the Kyriarodians come to Earth, humans need to become the gods of Kyriarodes. believers.

But after the first generation of human kings, or the "Hollow Bishop", used the power of faith to successfully extend his life for another five years, he tore up the so-called contract and threw it behind him.

Therefore, only a few high-ranking believers in the church know that this first-generation Bishop of the Scepter, who never shows his true face, always has a large hole running through his body in his chest, which is why he calls himself the "Hollow Bishop" one of the reasons.

Not only that, this "hollow bishop" also claimed that the reason why humans can successfully control the power of faith while not believing in gods is precisely because humans have become so great that they have the ability to usurp the authority of gods. The extent of harnessing the power of the gods.

If there were no giants of light and darkness on the earth at that time, many believers of the Church of the Scepter would inevitably believe that humans had become gods, and that the king of humans was the king of gods.

During the five years that he used the power of faith to extend his life, the former king of the first generation devoted all his energy to revenge against the Giant of Light after he transformed into the "Hollow Bishop".

With shame and hatred unimaginable to ordinary people, he devoted all his resentment from being trampled to pieces by the chariot and being penetrated through his chest into his revenge plan.

Five years is not a particularly long period of time for humans, and for the Giant of Light, it is as short as a blink of an eye.

But the "Hollow Bishop", who was already so old that his head was almost full of white hair, combined his last human forbearance, patience, diligence, and wisdom with the resentment in his heart towards the Giant of Light to complete the task. Something big happened.

He expanded the power of the Scepter Church to the Dark Continent. While instigating the exiles in the Dark Continent to continue causing trouble and exploring the details of the Dark Giant family, he collected a weapon that could release a blue-purple light blade through secret channels.

This light blade weapon is a unique weapon of the dark giant family, and it has a sharp edge that can easily tear the giant's body apart.

To a certain extent, the existence of this kind of light blade at that time was almost equivalent to the emergence of the dark giant family.

Through nearly five years of research, the "Hollow Bishop" has successfully analyzed the technical details of the light blade and mastered the ability to manufacture such a light blade.

In the future, the blue-robed scholars of ancient humans made many improvements to this light blade in terms of size, power, and energy supply methods, miniaturizing the huge light blade generator that only giants can use into a In the small handle of the knife.

Finally, after the Giant War ended and the Dark Giants were exterminated, this light blade weapon became unique to ancient humans and was used specifically to threaten the Giants of Light.

However, according to the records of the Church of Scepter, the reason why the "Hollow Bishop" spent a lot of time to crack and create the unique weapons of the Dark Giant was to complete the most important part of the revenge plan.

Because after the death of "Bishop Hollow", the Church of the Scepter completed an assassination of the Giant of Light under the guidance of his legacy.

The ancient humans used this light blade to kill a young man who had just passed the examination within the clan and was recognized as having great potential among the giants of light.

Then, the Church of Scepter disguised the scene and shifted the blame to the dark giant.

It was this assassination that caused the existing contradiction between the light and dark giants to enter a stage of rapid intensification, eventually leading to the giant war that ended with the dark giant being destroyed and the light giant being expelled.

However, there is one detail in the records of the Church of the Scepter, which is enough to fully demonstrate the sharp revenge obsession in the heart of "Bishop Hollow" and his ability to plan and calculate that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

This detail is exactly...

The giant of light who was designed and killed by the Church of the Scepter was the giant who accidentally crushed the chariot of the first king of mankind. Then, because he was in the midst of an internal assessment, he was pressed for time and did not look back, only chasing the monster.

And today, Osor, who knows all this, can also realize that perhaps the action he is about to complete will be an assassination that determines the fate of mankind, and its importance will never be less than what the "Hollow Bishop" planned back then. everything.

Osor used the infrared thermal imaging vision installed on the mechanical body to carefully scan around the director's office.

After confirming that in the entire office, only the position where Director Sawai was standing showed a red humanoid outline, and that there was indeed only one target to be assassinated in the office, Osor clenched the dark dagger and focused his attention. , and then walked step by step towards the back of Director Sawai.

Next to the window opposite the door, after hearing the sound of the door opening and footsteps, Director Sawai not only did not look back, but also said something naturally.

"Please put the documents on the table and wait a moment. I'm a little busy now."

Osor can understand Director Sawai's reaction at this time. After all, under the guidance of You Lian, TPC created the second-generation gamekeeper system based on the technical characteristics mastered by ancient humans. It wants to operate without being noticed. Down, the invasion comes in without leaving any trace.

For super ancient humans, it is indeed a bit tricky, otherwise the assassination would not have been carried out until now.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of his confidence in the second-generation system that Director Sawai believed that the only people who could open and enter the director's office door without triggering the alarm at this time were those office secretaries.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, Osol did not respond or make any sound.

The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer. Only the sword with the black mist in his hand was backlit in the office and the overall dark environment. The tip of the sword was pointed directly at the back of Director Sawai, which could penetrate the heart. s position.

At the same time, in the shadow of Osol's blind spot, a statue-like figure who had escaped from his thermal imaging field of view by some unknown means slowly raised his arm and used the latest generation of TPC's research and development technology. The muzzle of the ray gun was aimed at Osol's wrist holding the sword.
