Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 838 The culprit of the Shen Lian Island disaster (additional update)

After Abbott heard Yan Rongke's question, he did not answer directly.

His blue eyes looked at Yan Rongke carefully, with a hint of worry on his face, and he said softly:

“I have prayed to the Lord, and the Lord’s response is that miracles can indeed divert the evil spirits from Liaozhou.

"But the Lord also warned me that this is by no means an eradication. God has mercy on everyone on the island, but it still cannot change the fate of being devoured by evil spirits.

"As a carrier, you have been corroded by so many evil spirits, and even your soul will become the nourishment of evil spirits.

“In this process, you will be extremely painful, and if you don’t have enough willpower, it will lead to more serious consequences.

"Have you...really thought about it?"

Abbott was like a gentle and elegant scholar, explaining to Yan Rongke the terrible cost of all this.

Lin Lan was completely unable to connect this man with the disgusting monster that almost killed him in Lihu County.

Abbott's explanation finally revealed to Lin Lan the reason why Yan Rongke became the incarnation of X.

Pretty much what he thought.

Yan Rongke, indeed, single-handedly shouldered most of the X erosion for all the survivors on Shenlian Island at that time.

Although he couldn't see Yan Rongke's expression from his first-person perspective, he already knew the answer Yan Rongke gave thousands of years ago.

"No need to say anything, Archbishop, I have thought about it."

Yan Rongke clenched his fists, and in just a few breaths, he answered firmly:

"I have always regarded you and the Holy Light Church as outsiders, and I was even more prejudiced against you. I hereby solemnly apologize to you.

"You are willing to stick to Shen Lian Island, co-owner of the Ten Islands, and live and die with me. You...are really a noble person."

Faced with Yan Rongke's sincere apology, Lin Lan actually saw a flash of gloomy emotion in Abbott's eyes.

He suddenly realized keenly that Yan Rongke seemed to have a prejudice against teaching the people of the country.

Or... Yan Rongke had a conflict with Abbott?

Could it be that Abbott was hiding some ulterior motive, but was accidentally discovered by Yan Rongke?

At this moment, Lin Lan had countless guesses running through his mind.

Who told Abbott that he almost killed him in Lihu County?

He always felt that Abbott would show inappropriate emotions at such a moment, and he definitely had no good intentions.

Unfortunately, in the illusion, he could not use the power of breath to peer into his heart.

Otherwise, he would have to take a closer look to see what kind of dirty secret this guy is hiding.

"Hehehe, there is no need for this, Yan Rongke is in charge."

Before Lin Lan could analyze too much, Abbott's gentle voice sounded again.

The inconsistent emotion in his eyes also disappeared, as if what Lin Lan saw just now was just an illusion.

“Since the Lord guided us to Liaozhou, it means that the Lord has already foreseen that we will fight side by side.

"Next, I will draw the Holy Magic conduction circle on your body. You come in first."

As Abbott stepped aside, Lin Lan's perspective also followed Yan Rongke's entry into Abbott's room.

This is a simple study room decorated in a Blue Star European style.

Apart from a bookshelf filled with books, a bed, and a desk, the only thing that Lin Lan noticed was a statue.

However, the moment Lin Lan's eyes passed over the statue with the style of the Teaching Kingdom, he suddenly felt a cardiorespiratory arrest.

"How, how is this possible?!"

Even Lin Lan's heart trembled violently at this moment, causing the entire memory illusion to quickly disintegrate due to his mental instability.

When he made an oath with Shattered Sky in the Huanyang City Church on the Oransi continent, he saw with his own eyes the statue of the Holy Light Church of the Teaching Nation.

Because the statue caused miracles at that time, he was very impressed by the appearance of the statue:

A holy war angel with six white wings, holding a giant sword with an upward-facing sword, and a halo of light above his head.

However, the statue that flashed past in Abbott's room... was clearly wearing black and red pointed armor, with two pairs of black horns on its head, six pairs of terrifying black skeletal wings on its back, and a black sword blade in its hand. The ferocious monster facing downwards!

This appearance, filled with a twisted sense of power, is even 70% similar to the appearance of Kamire Sakura when she was corrupted by X and turned into a demon king!

Almost at this moment, Lin Lan recalled in his mind the information about the gods from another world that Shen Lianying had told him.

There are four creation goddesses in this different world.

One of the goddesses, after joining hands to fight against the invasion of X, was directly corrupted by X and sealed herself in the divine soil.

The only way to go to that divine land space is the Abyss Demon Cave under Liaozhou Shenlian Island.

The Ten Islands of Liaozhou were also created by another goddess who sacrificed herself to guard this passage.

Is it possible for Abbott to...

Not the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church at all, but a believer in the goddess who was corrupted by X? !

And the real purpose of Abbott's coming to Liaozhou is to completely release the "gods" he believes in from the abyss of Shenlian Island? !

At this moment, Lin Lan only felt that all the doubts he had had were rationally explained at this moment.

No wonder!

No wonder the space barrier on Shenlian Island did not trap the Demon King's army at all.

With Abbott as a traitor, the space barrier might have been left behind by Abbott from the very beginning of its construction.

No wonder, including the Demon King Kami Rei Sakura, Kam Rei Yu and Yuzawa Rizhao, they all became harmless beings after becoming the commander of the Demon King Army. Only Abbott still has reason and communication skills.

And the reason why Abbott shouted so enthusiastically for the Demon King before he was purified by the dragon and phoenix spell sent by Akashi...

It's because this guy is not following Kamire Sakura at all, but sees Kamire Sakura, who was corrupted by X and turned into a demon king, as the reincarnation of the corrupted god that their church believes in!

He had always wondered why Abbott hated the Liaozhou people so much, and he finally got the answer at this moment.

This insidious and vicious guy never regarded the Liaozhou people as companions from the beginning to the end.

Abbott regards all Liaozhou people as enemies who imprison the goddess he believes in!

Maybe Shen Lianying's grandfather will be corrupted by X, and it's all Abbott's fault.

This guy has become the archbishop of Shen Lian Island Church. He may have been working on Shen Lian Island for how many years!

In the seconds before the memory illusion collapsed, the calm conversation between Yan Rongke and Abbott also proved that Yan Rongke did not notice anything wrong with the statue after entering the room.

This made Lin Lan even more certain that Abbott had definitely cast some kind of disguise magic on the statue.

And the reason why he was able to see through the essence of that sculpture was either because he had the power of a brave man or because he was fused with the invisible breath.

Or maybe he has extremely high adaptability to the Rubik's Cube.

No matter what the reason is, it doesn't matter in the face of this truth that has been concealed for thousands of years.

He finally figured out from Yan Rongke's memories the culprit that caused the erosion of Shen Lian Island thousands of years ago.

Abbott!

No, X!

The mysterious enemy X is not an existence that can be suppressed and blocked at all!

Lin Lan watched the fantasy world around him completely dissipate, and he returned to the island core altar on Yanrong Island, his heart filled with worry.

Until a few days ago, he had always thought that as long as he watched the Abyss Demon Cave, X could not threaten him and his ship girls.

But now he found that his idea was wrong.

Whether it is Liaozhou, the Natlan Empire, or the Saint Lothalon Teaching State, they have all been riddled with holes by X's invasion.

He finally understood why neither Ember nor Antix regarded X as their most feared enemy, but were unwilling to tell him and the ship girls too much information about X.

It’s not that they were intentionally being Riddlers.

But they really wanted to protect him and the ship girls.

Before you have enough power to protect yourself from X's invasion, the more information you know about X, the more desperate you will feel.

This mysterious enemy is as weird as memetic pollution. Once a world is targeted by it, it will be destroyed.

Even in this world protected by four creation gods, this is still the case.
