Chapter 1202: Chapter 1188: The Saint Appears

Baiyu looked at the altar.

It was entirely black, made of large blocks of black stone, covered with numerous red patterns.

These red patterns flickered constantly, alternating between light and dark.

The entire altar was shaped like a square pyramid, somewhat like a pyramid, with a large sculpted exotic beast at each of the four corners, said to be the four great exotic beasts under the command of the Dark War God of the Asura race.

The altar was built this way to please the deity, the Dark War God, in order to beseech Him to bestow divine power.

However.

Baiyu was curious if this Dark War God was a deity in the dreams.

To bear the name of the War God clearly had something to do with the Blade Realm, but in the dreams, there were only three deities of the Blade Realm, namely Scar God, Lion Craftsman, and Double-Horned Axe.

Of course.

It’s possible that the Dark War God was an avatar of any one of these three deities.

Anyhow, one can first exclude Scar God.

Alfred was a Favored of the Scar God, and He likely wouldn’t create a situation where His Favored and devotees slaughtered each other.

Looking at all the people saved on Canglan Star.

Scar God was evidently a divine spirit on the side of humans, but the situation on Canglan Star was mishandled by Him and the City Lord of the Great City.

"Destroy the altar!"

At this time.

Alfred ordered coldly.

The members of the Mechanical God Church instantly set up magic crystal cannons and machine guns in place. As members of the Mechanical God, their mode of combat always involved heavy firepower coverage, followed by combat cleanup operations.

Such tasks of destroying fixed-point targets were perfectly suited for them.

However.

At this moment.

The main door of the gigantic altar suddenly opened, and a troop of Asura race soldiers, wielding swords and clad in a set of steel armor, rushed out from within.

Judging by their numbers.

There were about two hundred of them!

To have silently brought so many of the Asura race inside without detection by the Star Realm Army, it’s no surprise that Count Misar had prepared extensively for this sacrifice.

The overall combat power of this Asura race troop wasn’t high, but neither were they weak.

"Go, block them, give the Mechanical God Church members ample time to prepare the magic crystal cannon," Alfred said in a deep voice.

In the Blood Church.

There were a total of four Saints.

One of them was out on a mission and hadn’t arrived in time, while two others had to stay behind to guard the church, one overseeing the overall situation publicly, and the other secretly guarding the sealing object of the church.

So there were no Saints in the team Alfred brought.

This was also why he needed to hire a team like Tony’s.

As a renowned mercenary team in the Star Sea.

They had two Saints and three Quasi-Saints, a formidable force, but only two Saints came this time.

Alfred had invited Baiyu because he didn’t have much power to bring along.

At this moment.

Alfred’s subordinates had already started their busy efforts, embroiled in battle, while the members of the Mechanical God Church were busily setting up magic crystal cannons and other powerful destructive weapons, every second counting.

Alfred didn’t move.

Neither Baiyu, Tony, nor He Leiluo moved.

Clearly.

There were still powerful figures of the Asura race in the shadows, and Count Misar wouldn’t only have two or three combat-ready people.

So whether it was Alfred or Baiyu and the others, they were all fully focused, watching the surrounding situation, alert to the powerful Asura race figures lurking in the dark.

However.

The battle between the Scarred Cultists and the Asura race soldiers had already reached its climax, and the powerful Asura race warriors and Count Misar’s real personnel hadn’t made an appearance.

At that moment.

The members of the Mechanical God Church had finally set up the magic crystal cannon cluster, and countless magic crystal shells exploded amongst the Asura race soldiers.

A multitude of Asura race individuals were instantly blown to pieces.

In the explosion sites of the magic crystal cannons, the annihilating white light nearly evaporated those Asura race people completely.

However.

The powerful Asura race figures in the dark still hadn’t appeared.

More than ten seconds later, under the fierce and terrifying bombardment, more than two hundred Asura race people were completely reduced to smithereens.

Baiyu took a deep breath.

The terrifying power of this magic crystal cannon was at least ten times stronger than that on Canglan Star.

The Asura race’s army had no power to resist at all.

"The firepower of the Mechanical Race is even more powerful than this; you haven’t seen the overwhelming firepower coverage of the Mechanical Race’s battle fortresses. I’ve seen it once on the battlefield of Ghost Cry Star, and it’s simply a world-ending force..."

Tony spoke with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes filled with sighs, exuding the feeling of a man hardened by time.

"The battlefield of Ghost Cry Star?"

"It’s the main battlefield with the Mechanical Race; but we’ll talk about that later. It seems Alfred intends to directly blast through the altar’s door now."

Tony flicked some ash from his cigarette with a hand.

As expected.

Alfred took a deep breath and said to the members of the Mechanical God Church, "Fire, blow open that door."

In an instant.

Over ten magic crystal cannons fired in unison, countless shells striking the door and causing a series of violent explosions.

After two rounds of volleys.

The stone door finally cracked.

"Let’s go!"

Alfred decisively made the call.

He rushed headlong into the pitch-black altar passage without needing any light, as the interior of the altar was hollow, with torches burning some unknown substance hanging from the walls on all sides.

"The air is non-toxic."

The members of the Mechanical God Church quickly scanned inside and concluded everything was safe.

The group entered the ruins.

Although the area of the entire ruins was large, there weren’t many structures inside, nor any places for cover.

In the center, there was a small square platform.

On each of the four sides of the platform were four large conduits, with blood continually flowing from these conduits into the platform, gathering in the enormous cauldron-like container at the center.

At this moment.

Misar stood in front of this container, donned in formal attire, his eyes crimson like those of an evil spirit.

"I didn’t expect you to come so quickly, much faster than I anticipated, but it doesn’t matter now."

Count Misar’s face held a somewhat twisted smile.

As his voice fell.

In the shadows.

A few figures slowly emerged.

Among them, two individuals entirely red, covered in red fur from head to toe, exuding a strong aura, were obviously of the Asura race.

Two other human figures emerged.

Both were old men, one clad in a white robe, the other in black, standing on either side of Count Misar.

Alfred frowned.

He didn’t recognize these two from the Asura race, but he was very familiar with those two humans.

Executioner Buddy.

Crow Runes.

Both were Saints, and both had bounties on the Imperial list large enough for an average person to become a super-tycoon.

"I didn’t expect that you, never found by the Empire, were actually hiding on the Chaos Mother Star, colluding with Misar in cahoots."

Alfred said grimly.
