Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 860 The Darkness of the Cult

"bump!"

The flames touched Luther.

"Why...why don't you dodge..."

With even its head beginning to melt, Belial asked Luther in a daze. This was a blow that it was prepared to kill itself, and it would be great if it could injure Luther.

But Luther had no intention of avoiding it from the beginning, which made it incomprehensible.

"This is a tribute to the strong men who died bravely."

Luther said.

For a moment, Beryl had the urge to give everything he had to this man.

Unlike Dante, who was a descendant of Sparta.

What Luther showed was what Beryl approved of.

"Even if I end up losing, I feel honored to have fought with you."

Therefore, Belial's soul eventually turned into a magic weapon.

This is a magic weapon that was not in the original plot, which made Luther interested in collecting it.

When he grasped the light, the magic tool appeared in his hand.

Unexpectedly, there is a gun-type magic tool, which looks very similar to the double-barreled gun of the male gun in LOL, except that the muzzle is much larger and the gun body is covered with flame patterns.

"Beryl, the Overlord of the Hell of Fire!"

This is the name of this magic cannon. Its ability is very simple. By injecting magic power into it, it can fire explosive bullets to attack. The bullets will explode when they hit the target. It can also spray thousands of degrees high hellfire to burn the target.

"From Ace Combat, it seems that you can use the reaction force of this magic cannon to fly?"

Luther was very satisfied with this magic cannon.

If Belial turned into a knife or a sword, Luther would at most throw it to Nero.

It’s quite appropriate now.

Such violent shapes and weapons are so fun.

At this time, the whole island was in a tense atmosphere because of Dante's intrusion.

After Pope Saintes was resurrected, the first thing he wanted to do was to capture Dante. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Dante came running to him.

However, when the plan started, he realized how difficult it was.

Dante was too powerful, and even if he was just playing and not taking it seriously, he still managed to destroy most of the demons.

As for the pursuit of the Demon Sword Cult, Dante ignored it. Instead, all those who had undergone the ceremony of returning to heaven were killed by Dante.

Upon seeing this, Credo personally led a team to capture Dante. This was kept secret from Nero, after all, Nero still thought that there was a misunderstanding between them and Dante.

Only Credo knew it was not a misunderstanding.

But he didn't explain to Nero, and let Nero continue to immerse himself in the beauty.

Nero no longer cared where Credo was. He found many demons on the island, confirming what his father said. Someone was summoning demons and studying them!

The lowest level of the cult headquarters, low-level personnel like Nero are not allowed to enter.

Nero had thought it was incredible before. It was clearly built there, but people were not allowed to enter or get close to it. What was the point of such a place? Only cadres could enter and exit. This reason was too far-fetched.

Therefore, most people believe that there are some shameful aspects of the upper echelons of the cult, such as advocating abstinence to the outside world but leading a licentious life in private, or using the money raised to do bad things, and so on.

And Nero's unfounded speculation turned out to be true. No, if it was just this level of evil, it wouldn't be so troubling.

Along the way, Nero saw all kinds of things. The most terrifying one was a room filled with countless cages. Each cage had a number and contained demons of various shapes like experimental animals. There were also some creatures whose half bodies were human and the other half were demons.

"They...are not demons?...Could it be..."

Nero remembered what Credo said, that those chosen by God would evolve into angels, then what would those people become if they were not chosen by God?

The people in these cages have already given clear answers.

Nero passed by each cage, and they didn't say anything. Was it because it would be useless to say anything?

Or is it because I can no longer make any sound?
The longer Nero stayed here, the more creepy he felt. He wanted to get out of here quickly, but when he reached the exit, he stopped in front of a cage.

"You are, Tonio...?"

His left half had turned into an animal-like shape, but this man was indeed Tonio. Nero put his face close to the cage and looked at him carefully, but Tonio shrank to the other side of the cage as if frightened.

This man who always smacked his lips and mocked Nero every time he saw him, was now trembling like a small animal. Nero looked at the numbered cages, and the creatures inside no longer had human features.

"That person over there...could it be Sagan..."

Tonio and Sagan have been practicing hard since the incident a month ago. At that time, they should still be ordinary humans. Nero met with them several times after the incident, but Nero's right hand did not react at all, and their appearance did not change.

“This is…what on earth is happening…!”

Nero was furious and punched the cage. Tonio inside let out an indescribable cry. When he realized that this man was no longer the Tonio he knew, Nero was helpless except for grief.

Nero didn't know what happened to them. Perhaps Tonio, who wanted to gain power, volunteered, or he was deceived by Agnes's sweet words, or even some strange magic was cast on him without his knowledge.

Either way, it made Nero feel extremely indignant towards the Order.

Nero did not like Tonio and Sagan, and they certainly did not like Nero either.

Nero doesn't like to stick to the rules and likes to do things in a reckless manner. Since he grew up with Credo, he won't be punished too harshly. Tonio and Sagan must dislike Nero.

The closeness between Nero and Gillie was probably one of the reasons. They had special feelings for Gillie, and Nero, as a bystander, saw it very clearly.

However, the reason why Nero was close to Gillie was simply because her parents liked Nero very much and raised him as a family member. Moreover, Nero did things without considering the consequences, so the worrying Gillie always paid special attention to Nero.

Nero laughed at the thought.

"No, it's not like that... It's not like that..."

Nero whispered. Tonio looked at Nero with a very strange look and said nothing.

"Being raised like a family member is such a cliché excuse... Of course, Jillie's parents were very kind to me... But even if that wasn't the case, I would probably still think highly of Jillie... Just like you guys..."
