From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Inside the underground interrogation room of the frontline base;

"."

The nun, who had changed into a black training uniform, was sitting on a fixed metal chair with a frown on her face.

After taking off her original clothes, helmet and armor, she finally revealed her true face.

She has delicate facial features and black hair, but her skin is a little rough.

There is also a scar at the corner of the mouth that affects the appearance.

All these characteristics indicate that this nun is a true "fighting nun".

And looking at her muscles and bones, she is not as strong as Astartes, but only a little taller than the average person.

"A little."

A height of 1.9 meters cannot be said to be unique, but it is enough to attract attention.

But the nun's expression and eyes revealed undisguised anger, indicating that she was very unhappy.

At this moment, four full hours had passed since the end of the battle, when she and the surviving human soldiers were forced to move to the front-line base in the "One-Three" universe.

During this period, they were first isolated, inspected, disinfected and cleaned.

Then, people claiming to be technicians drew their blood and extracted tissue samples, saying, "Please cooperate, otherwise we will use force. Please cooperate."

Then they entered a separate isolation room and waited for the technicians' analysis report.

then.

The nun was personally escorted to the interrogation room by two "giants" who were two meters six inches tall and wearing sophisticated armor that she had never seen before.

But the two "giants" took her to the interrogation room and left immediately.

And she waited here for a few more minutes.

But she has information that is vital to the survival of the "Empire" and even the human world, and she needs to report to the "Empire".

So the longer the nun was detained here, the more anxious and angry she became.

It's not that she didn't think about fighting back. She took advantage of her extraordinary physique to escape from the front-line base.

But she is no fool.

Not to mention Atlas or the various unpredictable technologies of the human empire, the two giants responsible for escorting her, the adult dark angels, are much stronger than the knights of their "empire".

She was just a nun who was "blessed" and ate the "flesh and blood of saints". How could she possibly fight against a giant who was as powerful as a knight?

So she had to remain calm and wait patiently.

Swish-!

Just as the nun's brows were furrowed further and further, the door of the interrogation room opposite her finally opened to both sides.

Then, Chris, wearing a black uniform with an empire button on his collar, walked into the interrogation room holding a tablet computer with a screen generated by hard light technology.

He sat opposite the nun.

Then place the tablet on a fixed table.

Chris did not use a professional smile like other officials to approach the nuns, but said bluntly:

“Hello, I am Major Chris Redfield, an officer of the Investigation Department of the Human Empire of the Main Universe. You can just call me Major.

I don’t know your name or your affiliation.”

Chris briefly introduced himself and asked a question, then changed the subject:

“Please tell me everything you know. Concealment or deception will do no good to you or me.

And we also have more advanced biotechnology that can extract relevant memories directly from your brain.

It's just that we are all human beings, and we should help each other and jointly eliminate the aliens or heretics that pose a threat to humanity, so we did not use coercive means against you and your subordinates to obtain the information we want to know."

"."

Chris's straightforward words made the nun swallow her original words.

What is the main universe?

And the Empire of Man?

Investigation officer?

These were too unfamiliar to the nuns.

"Of course." At this time, Chris seemed to notice the nun's confusion and added:

“As long as you can clear our doubts and let us understand the past of this world, I will also answer your questions. So how about being honest and saving both of us from unnecessary trouble?

After all, you don't want us to open your skull and extract your memories, right?"

She could see that even though Chris was threatening, he was telling the truth.

What's more, without the timely action of Soap and others, she and her comrades would have been swallowed up by the demon army long ago, and there would be almost no possibility of survival.

Then the nun closed her eyes slightly and adjusted her breathing.

After she opened her eyes, she looked directly at Chris and said:

"I am a blessed nun of the Holy Roman Empire, my name is Isabella de Kerouai."

Holy Roman Empire?

Chris couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the other party's reply.

The Roman Empire had long been destroyed in the main universe, but the "One and Three" universe nun in front of him was still subordinate to the "Holy Roman Empire", which surprised Chris a little.

However, Chris did not interrupt the other party's thoughts. He just nodded and asked the nun named Isabella to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Isabella continued:

"I don't know the human empire, but I know that without your help, my comrades and I would not be able to sit here safely.

In addition, the reason why we were besieged by demons is that we detected that the army of hell was already gathering, and judging from its scale and momentum, it seemed that they were preparing to launch a full-scale war against the human world. "

hell?

Chris caught the key words from Isabella's words.

Although Chris is not an official of the Inquisition, his authority is sufficient to know relevant information about psionic power, demons and the subspace.

And "Hell".

It may be the description of subspace by humans in the "One Three" universe.

It may also be a demonic space unique to the "One Three" universe.

Next, Chris raised a few more key points for questioning.

For example, how the Holy Roman Empire was established, the human history of the "one and three" universe, and how hell appeared in the vision of the "one and three" humans.

Isabella also answered their questions one by one and gave Chris a brief explanation.

Today in the "1914" universe, corresponding to the main universe, is September 9, 2.

Moreover, the historical progress of the "One Three" universe before the Crusades was actually not much different from that of the main universe.

In 1096, the First Crusade, a religious military campaign led by the church, began to invade the East from Europe.

The purpose was to recapture Jerusalem, which was regarded as a holy city by the "pagans", from the hands of the "pagans".

The Crusades included many forces.

In 1099, the Crusaders successfully defeated the pagans and captured the holy city of Jerusalem.

However, when the Crusaders successfully captured Jerusalem, the knights found a very tempting treasure deep in the most sacred temple.

According to Isabella's description, the treasure is actually a demonic instrument from hell.

By the time the Crusaders obtained the devil's weapons, the knights who had once sworn allegiance to God and the church had been bewitched and corrupted invisibly.

The knights began to "revel" and "indulge" without restraint in the local area and persecuted the residents living in the holy city.

In just a short moment, Jerusalem became a hell on earth, and this successfully attracted the attention of hell.

In other words, the knights' "unintentional" crazy actions successfully completed their sacrifice and allegiance to hell, and then caused Jerusalem to completely fall into the dark abyss and be "linked" to hell.

The gate to hell and to reality is opened.

Countless demonic creatures living in hell began to sweep across the human world.

Faced with supernatural creatures that are almost immortal and have extraordinary powers, the Crusaders are like immature chickens fighting against humans in their prime.

It is simply wishful thinking to want to stop the devil's influence on the human world.

Immediately, the remaining Crusaders quickly withdrew from Jerusalem.

The once holy city was completely transformed into an outpost for hell's attack on reality.

1101 years.

In just three years, demonic creatures and tens of millions of humans who had voluntarily or been forced to fall engulfed the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean.

The city of Antioch, located in Turkey, has reunited human armies from different countries and forces, and has become the center of resistance against the forces of hell.

pity.

No matter how much humans gather and how hard they fight, they are still unable to compete with demonic creatures and fallen cultists.

After all, the number of demons and heretics increases as they fight.

Human soldiers who died in battle would be transformed and resurrected by demons and become cannon fodder for the forces of hell.

Captured soldiers and humans who did not have time to evacuate will also become loyal servants of Hell.

On the human side, the number of soldiers and population will only decrease.

The rate of reproduction, growth and training is far less than the spread of death, corruption and depravity.

"."

Chris's face became extremely solemn when he heard Isabella's account of events that happened nearly a thousand years ago.

hell,

demon,

Crusaders,

Jerusalem

These words were not unfamiliar to him, but in the human history of the main universe, they were just the church's way of regaining lost territory through the Crusades.

Its fundamental purpose is to consolidate and maintain religious interests.

At that time, European countries were in a stage of division and separatism. The demand for commodities and currency by Western European feudal lords continued to increase, and the church entered a period of upsurge in the 11th century. Therefore, the church indirectly became the only organized political force and launched an aggressive war in the East.

On the other hand, the original intention of the Crusades in the "One Three" universe may be similar to that of the main universe.

But after the Crusaders captured Jerusalem, it became a war of true religious nature.

After all, the Crusaders of the main universe did not open the gates of hell, nor did they fight against demonic creatures or heretics.

Seeing Isabella fall into a brief silence, Chris asked back:

"According to your description, humans have no capital to resist the demon army. Logically, then the earth should have long been reduced to a paradise of hell.

So how did you manage to stay strong until now?"

Just as Chris asked, if the humans in the "One Three" universe rely on cold weapons to fight against the forces from hell, they will become slaves of the devil in a few years.

But the "13" human race has remained strong for nearly a thousand years.

And through Isabella's explanation, combined with the images taken by unmanned orbital satellites, the scope of invasion by the forces of hell is limited to the Middle East, the Mediterranean coast and parts of North Africa.

Since hell and demons really exist in the "One-Three" universe, Chris has reason to speculate whether heaven and God also exist.

And did Heaven and God provide help to the "one three" human beings?

However, Chris did not ask directly.

He wanted Isabella to confess voluntarily.

"Hey"

At this moment, Isabella sighed lightly and continued:

"Even though I am not from that era, I can still feel the despair. Fortunately, the church sent twelve heavily armored paladins to the battlefield, which gave humans a chance to breathe.

"

then.

Chris learned about the unique organization of the "One-Three" universe of the Paladins from Isabella.

Legend has it that when the twelve paladins descended upon the battlefield, they were enveloped in a holy halo.

"They" claimed that they had eaten the flesh and blood of Jesus, and then used their powerful strength to easily defeat demons and heretics.

The remaining Crusaders and human armies chose to follow the command of twelve extremely strong paladins, some of whom were as tall as five meters, and launched a head-on confrontation with the army of hell in Syria.

Sadly, one of the Paladins died in battle against a demon from the third level of Hell.

Afterwards, the body of the paladin was transported back to the Christian Church in Europe.

However, after this battle, the Paladins and the human army successfully curbed the continued spread of the forces of hell.

At the same time, under the guidance of the Paladins and the Church, the "one three" humans can also cultivate more super soldiers similar to the knights through "cloning flesh and blood" and "eating flesh and blood" to fight against demons and heretics.

In the centuries that followed.

"One Three" More saints appeared in the world who were guided by God and heaven and accomplished various great deeds.

For example, the demon Beelzebub released the "Black Holy Grail" in the human world, causing the virus from hell to infect tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, of humans.

The virus spreads rapidly, not only making humans bloated and corrupt, but also causing the dead to return to the world—

At this point, the Corpse War broke out in the mid-to-late 14th century in the "One Three" universe.

In the early 15th century, Joan of Arc led her followers and the human army to the front line and successfully dispelled the hell virus and corpse plague that were raging on the world.

Although saints do not have nearly infinite lifespans like paladins, their bodies are also properly preserved by the church.

Because after devout believers eat the flesh and blood of saints, they can also gain abilities that surpass ordinary humans, such as super strength and endurance, rapid healing of wounds, and even the characteristic of being "semi-immortal".

Hear this.

"Wait." Chris raised his hand to interrupt Isabella's explanation and asked again:

"Our technicians took samples of your blood and tissue and detected some substances that... cannot be explained at this time.

Combined with your performance on the battlefield, did you also eat the flesh and blood of the Paladin or the Saint?"

Hearing this, Isabella nodded and admitted frankly:

"Yes."
