I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

After arriving at this town, or settlement, which was like a devil's cave, Lloyd first "dismissed" the other idle people, and then asked the lord to "introduce" those remnants in high positions to him.

As for those Run people, they were thrown on the roadside with severe muscle and ligament tears and internal organs bleeding profusely. I wish them happiness.

Lloyd followed the lord and walked towards the central area of ​​the settlement.

The architectural style here still follows the temperament of the glorious era, and should have a classical charm and artistic aesthetics. However, the creatures living here are all a group of monsters and ghosts, and there are few human-like ones to be seen. Lloyd's frown has never relaxed.

He also had to suppress the murderous intent in his heart, so as not to ruin things.

Otherwise, there would have been a river of blood.

Not long after, Lloyd "received" most of the high-level officials of the settlement in a classical conference hall.

The strength of these survivors was not as good as that of the lord. As soon as they met, their minds were distorted and they became obedient puppets.

Then Lloyd interrogated them for intelligence and ordered them to gather the rest of the ruling class.

Unfortunately, the status of these survivors was not higher than that of the lord, and the information they could obtain was not much. However, they did get a map of the entire tribe, as well as some detailed information such as sphere of influence and population distribution.

For example, the settlement where Lloyd is currently located belongs to the territory of the third priest and was once the most prosperous and most populous settlement.

But since the sudden divine punishment came, they have suffered a very heavy blow. Not only did they lose the vital military port, but also a large number of survivors died, many of whom were engineers and technical workers.

As a result, the status of the entire settlement plummeted, and rumors began to spread that the third priest would be impeached.

Therefore, they had to purchase a large number of untouchables in the world in an attempt to recover as soon as possible.

As for the third priest, he did not live in the settlement. Instead, he adhered to the principle of asceticism, lived in the suburbs, and only remotely controlled the operation of the settlement through his minions.

Lloyd was not in a hurry to cause trouble for it, because according to the lord's remnants, the third priest was extremely powerful and majestic, possessing greater power than the second priest. If it were not for the distance from the temple, he could go even further.

Therefore, Lloyd chose to be cautious and prudent, first deal with the settlement here, and then go to "visit" the third priest.

Soon, the leaders of the entire settlement gathered together at his "gracious invitation". Lloyd then ordered them to gather all the human untouchables here and gather at the city hall.

While waiting for the crowd to gather, Lloyd released the [Projection] again and teleported it back to the school district not far away. He then remotely controlled it to clear out a spacious area, where he deployed some rituals and a space channel leading to the real world.

For a space channel like this connecting the real world, Lloyd only needs to deploy it casually. However, the ancient survivors have to consider a lot more, and they work hard and waste time and effort, but in the end they can't even find a clue.

After making these arrangements, Lloyd suppressed his nausea at being in the same room with the monster and waited patiently.

One after another, the nobles among the remnants drove the untouchables they bought and gathered here, followed by some commoners who had only bought one or two untouchables, and many others who came to join in the fun, making the square outside the city hall suddenly bustling with people.

Lloyd looked at those humans. They were all tortured to a pale and skinny state. There were also many women and children among them.

He did not need to control everyone present. He just needed to let the lord and the chief of the settlement come forward and ask them to distinguish the untouchables below. Those who were captured would go to an open space on the left, and those who offered their property would go to an open space on the right.

The Run people were suddenly excited, thinking that their piety and hard work had finally moved these survivors, who were willing to grant them the status of civilians so that they could integrate into the society here. This was a happy ending after all the hard work.

He immediately showed his arrogance in the real world and walked to the right with his head held high.

As for those innocent people who were caught, they either went to the left out of fear or indifference.

A woman with a child seemed to have guessed something. She was still holding the slave owner's limbs and begging bitterly:

"Please, let my child go! You can do whatever you want to me, but please let my child go!"

The slave owner was not affected by the [Distortion] and was naturally as brutal as before. He just snorted coldly and kicked the woman far away with his limbs, and she fell into the crowd on the left.

Her child screamed and rushed over, hugging his mother and crying.

"Damn it! It would be bad if it disturbed His Excellency."

The slave owner cursed and moved closer to the child, waving several tentacles on his body and stabbing the child.

At this moment, a young man, covered in black, as if he had just crawled out of a coal mine, suddenly stepped forward, opened his arms, and resolutely stood in front of the mother and son.

"We were summoned here by the Lord, so there must be a purpose behind it. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to kill us, right?"

A few other untouchables came over and checked the mother's injuries. They covered the child's mouth and temporarily stopped him from crying.

"Humph……"

The slave owner looked at the young man who stepped forward with a pair of fly-like compound eyes. Although he was very unhappy, he really didn't dare to do anything else and retreated silently.

The young man then turned around, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and motioned the other men to come closer, and whispered:

"This group of monsters will most likely send us to some other place. This may be the opportunity we have been waiting for. We will think of a way and find an opportunity then... Do you have your weapons with you?"

"With..."

A middle-aged man nodded and lifted his clothes slightly, revealing a stone dagger hidden underneath.

The other quietly handed the young man a knife made of scrap iron, and whispered:

"We may have a chance, but what about the women and children?"

"Try to create some chaos and see if you can divert a few monsters and give them a chance to escape? The rest... can only be left to fate."

At this time, a woman who was also dirty and looked like she had just been fished out of a quagmire squeezed in and said indignantly:

"Don't underestimate us women. We are also waiting for opportunities and have prepared weapons."

As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing a razor-sharpened blade.

The young man looked at her seriously, nodded, and whispered:

"Then we will find a way to distract the guards, and you can find a way to take the children and escape together. It would be best if we escape to the direction of the military port. I have secretly observed that these monsters seem to be very afraid of that area and don't dare to approach."

"understood……"

"Unfortunately, regardless of whether we succeed or not, I'm afraid only a few of us will survive, right?"

"So what? We're already in purgatory, so what can it get any worse?"

The dark-skinned young man smiled and added:

"Just let me die and give you a chance to escape."

These people secretly discussed their clumsy and doomed escape plan, which was naive and somewhat laughable.

But what is not laughable is the courage to fight back even in the most desperate situation.

However, before their plan could be implemented, a pariah who was lingering near these people suddenly jumped up and shouted:

"My lord! These people are plotting to escape!"

After saying that, he rolled and crawled out of the crowd, ran towards the slave owner, and knelt at his feet, continuing to explain:

"Sir! In fact, I offered all my property from the beginning. In order to sell off my property, I even poisoned my parents to death with my own hands, just to let you feel my determination and sincerity!"

He continued to wag his tail and beg for mercy:

"And I have long noticed that those people were up to something bad, so I have been sneaking around them. Finally, I caught them! Sir, you can search them now. They are carrying homemade weapons!"

"Oh? It's a good and loyal dog. Go to the right."

The slave owner waved his tentacles.

Runren immediately kowtowed continuously, then stood to the right with a flattering smile on his face, and then with a gloating look on his face, he watched the slave owners approach step by step those humans on the left who dared to resist.

The other Run people around him also had a similar gloating expression. They pointed at the people on the left and laughed at their stupidity and arrogance.

"Damn it, we have no choice but to fight them!"

The dark-skinned young man cursed, picked up the small piece of iron in his hand, and stood in front.

The other people also took out their own crude weapons and surrounded him.

Even though his legs were shaking instinctively with fear, no one stepped back, let alone kneeled down to beg for mercy.

However, they were just ordinary people without any extraordinary powers, and with just the crude homemade weapons in their hands, they couldn't even break the slave owner's defense.

But at this moment, the high and mighty lord suddenly moved a few steps, and then asked the slave owner:

"What do you want to do? Don't you understand my orders?"

"Ah? No, sir, of course I will faithfully carry out every one of your instructions until I can bring them here safely, but... these untouchables are escaping from the map..."

"Are you afraid of these little toys of theirs? Or do you think they can escape from me?"

"No, I don't dare..."

"Go down. If you have nothing to do, check whether all the untouchables have gathered here. The big shots up there are getting impatient."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

Soon, with the help of the slave owner, the last two untouchables were brought over by it and thrown into the crowd on the left and right, one on the left and one on the right.

"That's about it..."

The lord whispered and swung the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound as it broke through the air.

A pitch-black portal suddenly appeared in front of the open space on the left.

"Let them in."

Upon seeing this, the slave owner, whose face still had some human facial organs left, suddenly smiled and said excitedly:

"The portal finally reappeared. It turns out that these untouchables were sent to the temple. It seems that the space barrier of the temple has also been broken. This is really cause for celebration!"

These words caused the survivors at the scene to burst into cheers.

"I told you, everything will be fine! As long as we offer these untouchables to the temple, our settlement will be able to gain the favor of our Lord and regain its former glory!"

"As expected, nothing can stop our great cause, not even the offspring of the evil god!"

"These untouchables should feel honored to be able to offer their loyalty to our Lord."

The group of Run people on the right were even more proud and proud than the survivors. They held their heads high and chests puffed out, as if they had regained their pride and self-esteem in the real world.

The group of humans on the left were driven into the portal one by one under the relentless pressure of the slave owners.

As soon as they landed on the ground, they fell into coma instantly, and then felt dizzy and had no idea where they were being sent to.

Lloyd, who had been hiding in the city hall, stretched his body and pressed his fingers until they made a crackling sound.

"That's all right. I can finally go on a killing spree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the few remnant nobles closest to him shattered immediately, and their bodies were decomposed and twisted into spirals in an instant.

Then, the [Twisted Realm] expanded, covering all the survivors near the city hall.

But those Run people were deliberately omitted.

He did not take direct action, but instead issued a new order to the survivors.

The next second, a series of wails and screams were heard from outside, mixed with the muffled sounds of bones breaking and flesh being torn apart.

Almost in an instant, the remaining group of Run people were killed completely by the remnants they were loyal to.

Only the last one, the one who jumped up and informed on the crime, was still alive.

He obviously hasn't figured out what exactly happened. Everything was going well before, everyone was cheering, and he was about to escape from his suffering and integrate into the society here.

How come in just the blink of an eye, they turned against us?

He was frightened at first, but then he realized that the survivors did not attack him?

I'm the only one who survived?

That means I am the only one who has gained recognition from adults!

Haha, luckily I was smart enough to report and expose the rebels in time, otherwise...

He was feeling thankful for this, but the next second, the survivors around him began to explode one by one, turning into debris on the ground.

This sudden change happened so suddenly that he was stunned on the spot. Even though his thinking was not disturbed, he lost the ability to think.

Until he saw a handsome young man, followed by a hideous and terrifying monster, slowly walking out of the town hall.

The man was stunned for a moment, then instinctively ran over and knelt at Lloyd's feet.

"You...you must be the third priest, right? I am..."

He wanted to introduce himself, but was interrupted by Lloyd waving his hand.

"You've got the wrong person. I'm the seventh saint of mankind, the twisted Lloyd."

"what???"

"I came here to kill the gods of these monsters, and to save the innocent people they captured."

The man was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed:

"Saint... Saint! Your Majesty! I knew you would come to save us, so I have been lurking among these monsters. I can provide you with all the information about them, and I can also..."

As he spoke, he reached out and tried to hug Lloyd's thigh.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

As he watched, his arm shattered and decomposed bit by bit, turning into wisps of spiral residue.

The severe pain was amplified more than ten times, almost causing him to faint.

But he couldn't faint. Although his consciousness was blurred by the pain, his senses were extremely sharp and he could clearly feel the pain of his body being broken down and torn apart bit by bit.

This process lasted for quite a long time. Until Lloyd had deployed all the "little surprises" he had prepared, he was still alive and could still clearly feel the severe pain all over his body.

In the end, Lloyd softened his heart a little and quickened the pace, thus ending the long-lasting pain.

"Bah~"

Lloyd spat at the pile of debris and garbage on the ground.

Then, a violent fire shot up into the sky, instantly engulfing the entire settlement.

As the flames spread, Lloyd's figure gradually became transparent and disappeared on the spot.
