Star of Civilization

After Joyner quickly passed through the other end of the corridor, the darkness in front of her eyes gradually became brighter.

A heavy iron door creaked and opened slowly and automatically, as if to welcome them. A pair of dark green pupils opened slightly, shining in the darkest place in the crisscross.

"I'm not mistaken. You keep your promises."

Joyner stopped, and an old voice came from her ear.

Then, there was a scene she had seen before: the dilapidated walls were covered with hyphae, just like what she had seen in the underground laboratory, the entire cell was dotted and surrounded by fluorescent lights, and a dry and thin body sat upright In the middle of the cell, motionless, waiting for Joyner's arrival.

Without hesitation, Joyner stepped in with long, slender legs, facing the blue eyes.

"Hmph, I don't remember what I promised you, Lord Scarlet Warlock."

As Joyner spoke, her eyes quickly swept across the cell.

She knew that the mycelium spreading on the wall was not as harmless as it looked, and under Nova's powerful will, they could become a murderous weapon at any time.

Nova was stunned for a moment, stared into Joyner's eyes, and slowly stood up, "That's right...you didn't promise me anything, but you did it." The wrinkles on Nova's face were one after another, as if Deep ravines, haggard features, and a terrifying look.

"I think you should be able to understand... Forgive my old man's memory, I often remember things in confusion... But I heard that you at least promised my believers, right?"

Hearing this, Joyner smiled coldly.

It turned out that Nova knew everything. It was not surprising that the powerful sensing ability of those plants should not be underestimated, and they secretly acted as her eyes. It seems that this also confirms that Nova arranged everything, including letting Joyner enter the underground ruins and act as her tool.

Today, Joyner will confront this guy pretending to be Morgana to find out her conspiracy!

"Come in, what are you still doing?"

Nova raised her chin and straightened her face. These words were obviously addressed to the people behind Joyna.

The tall and thin man walked into the room tremblingly, but before taking a few steps, he suddenly fell to his knees with a plop, and bowed to Nova.

"My lord, I know I was wrong...but I think you should understand..."

"Tch, you still have the rules I set in your heart?" Nova's voice was extremely indifferent, interrupting the believer's right to continue speaking.

What rules? Joyner didn't know why, and frowned slightly.

Just as she turned to look at the tall and thin believer, and was about to say something, suddenly the surroundings became dark, and at the same time, she heard a piercing sound coming from behind her!

Sneak attack!

Joyner reacted quickly and jumped up, only to realize when she landed that it was not she who was fatally attacked, but the person behind her.

I saw that the thin and tall man was pierced by a thorny vine, and he had already risen into the air!

Nova's strikes were precise and ruthless, obviously not wanting to give the opponent another chance to speak.

Joyner was shocked by Nova's actions. The tall and thin man led the way here under her own order, but she didn't expect Nova to kill him mercilessly after meeting him without asking the reason.

What a scary woman, she even killed her own subordinates! ?

At this moment, she was so full of depression that she couldn't vent, so that her arms were shaking wildly.

"You, why did you kill him? What did he do wrong?" Joyner couldn't stand it anymore, and asked repeatedly, glaring.

"Hmph—as I said, none of you, for whatever reason, may cross the line without my order."

"Uh-uh-"

The thin and tall man lay flat on his back in mid-air, a series of sounds came from his throat, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood, his chest cavity was once again filled with froth pouring in, and he couldn't speak a word.

However, after a few painful struggles, the index and middle fingers of both hands were crossed together, and the palms were flattened upwards, as if struggling to make any gestures.

Joyner looked weird, but didn't know what he meant.

In fact, the bodies of believers in the "All Living House" no longer belong to them.

If the mutated bodies are not controlled, their flesh and blood will soon be assimilated by plants, and finally, they will become walking dead, without the ability to think. In other words, these believers survived only by relying on Nova's power to continue their lives.

When they were alive, the only thing they could pursue was to enter the other destination promised by Nova after death—the Hall of Valor.

The Hall of Valor is the first ecological network created by Morgana.

The index finger and **** were crossed, and the palms were facing the sky. It was like a customary ceremony, and it was also a spell cast by Nova for the believers, indicating that he hoped to be sacrificed by the Lord.

The only spiritual sustenance of believers is to build on the dedication of their own flesh and blood, so that they can merge with their lord after death.

Georgina, of course, had no idea of ​​these things.

She only knew that if she had known this earlier, she would never let the tall and thin man lead the way to meet Nova.

Right now, the thin and tall man's skin was tightly wrapped by mycelium, and the mycelium rapidly expanded, spreading from the believer's body into the body, reaching the heart!

For a split second, the creature released scorching heat, and then his body collapsed, and even the skeleton disappeared.

After sucking up the blood, clusters of hyphae crawled back to the wall, and the fluorescence of the entire cell was so intense that it almost turned into the color of a purple sunset.

Nova's figure was cast on the ground, and it seemed that her image had changed. When she raised her head again, the cloak on her body fell to the ground, her body grew taller, and her appearance had become a young girl!

"you-"

Looking at the horrifying scene in front of her, Joyner was speechless, and her trembling body almost collapsed.

She had reason to believe that the hyphae controlled by Nova ate the believer, and transformed it into nutrients, into a power that she couldn't understand.

"You are a devil!"

"They, they are your believers, not your prisoners!" Joyner tried her best to maintain calm and restraint. She knew how to control her emotions, even her voice remained unchanged.

Well, almost nothing.

Nova smiled disdainfully after hearing this, and shook her hair.

Joyner saw the ground under her feet slowly turn back to emerald green, and the scarlet color disappeared.

After regaining his youthful appearance, Nova looked very calm, and said lightly, "Do you really like to comment on things you don't understand?"

"I don't know you guys, but everything happened right under my nose, do you think I'm a fool?"

"No, you are not stupid at all." Nova shook his head, "But you are the one who is wrong, and you don't believe it when you say it. This is exactly the way of death they are after. But you are right about one thing, they are me. believers, but we are also each other's prisoners... You simply don't understand the hardships and pressures of this kind of existence."

"I can not understand what you say."

"It's very difficult to explain this kind of thing to you. In short, this is the destination of each of my believers. Before coming, he has already made a decision. You don't have to feel sad for him."

Joyner naturally didn't believe what she said, but seeing Nova's physical changes and thinking of the fact that she was a mutant, she decided to continue listening to her.
