The old man suddenly appeared before Lin Ye, reaching his hand toward him, only to discover that the distance between him and Lin Ye was gradually stretching.

"Falling is an inertia. If you can crawl out from the Abyss, I will give you a chance to obtain the Cross Scepter."

Lin Ye sealed the Abyssal Eye, allowing the mixed rule power to act upon the Disaster Hazmat Suit, transferring him to another area.

Earlier, he had taken advantage of the spatial fluctuations in this area, using the Abyssal Eye and the Falling Rule Fragment to drop that old man into the Abyss.

The Abyss is omnipresent, so this operation was surprisingly simple.

This was just an attempt by Lin Ye, but simultaneously using the Abyssal Eye and the Falling Rule Fragment shortened the distance between him and the Abyss, so this method could not be used casually.

The spatial fluctuations soon ended. Lin Ye sensed his surroundings and found he had been moved again, this time above a giant Metal Cross Structure.

But unlike before, the desert beneath the giant Metal Cross Structure was gone, replaced by a flesh-and-blood mountain range tens of thousands of meters high. Those giant Metal Cross Structures were embedded in the flesh-and-blood mountain, looking like lighthouses stuck in a sea of blood.

Those smaller metal crosses had all appeared in the sea of blood. The humans on them had been freed, clinging to the metal crosses, looking around in bewilderment.

"What have you done!"

A middle-aged man in a golden robe quickly approached Lin Ye, loudly demanding an answer.

Lin Ye controlled the force nodes on his body, swung the Cross Scepter with all his might, and knocked the middle-aged man down onto the metal surface with a single strike.

Heavy Strike!

"What exactly have I done to make you disrespect me so? You don't even bother to call me Pope."

Lin Ye pressed the Cross Scepter against the middle-aged man's spine, preventing him from getting up off the ground.

The area above the giant Metal Cross Structure still restricted spiritual energy and mental energy, and this seemed to affect these followers of the Orthodox Cross Church as well.

"Bullshit Pope! Let me go now! Or I'll definitely make you regret it!"

The middle-aged man let out a beast-like roar.

"Sir, could you let him go? He's not quite right in the head."

Several followers in golden robes walked over, the leading old man speaking up.

These followers of the Orthodox Cross Church all seemed to have been teleported above the giant Metal Cross Structure. There were also many followers on the other structures.

"Having a bad brain is no excuse for him to act recklessly."

Lin Ye exerted force with one hand, pressing the base of the Cross Scepter until it broke the middle-aged man's spine, then dragged him by the hair and threw him off the edge of the metal platform.

"This way, he might remember better in the future."

Lin Ye smiled at the followers. He really wanted to impale all these people on the metal crosses, but unfortunately, he lacked the ability to do so.

But soon, Lin Ye remembered that he had once understood the concept of Piercing, and removing bones wasn't particularly difficult either. The only hard part was that he couldn't create metal crosses, but there seemed to be many empty metal crosses below...

"Seems not that difficult after all..."

Lin Ye looked at the sea of blood below and muttered to himself.

"Could you dispel that rule power? As long as you're willing to dispel the rule power, we can send you away from here."

The old follower spoke.

"You mean, if I don't dispel the rule power, you'll keep me here?"

Lin Ye stretched his body, twirling the Cross Scepter in his hand. Ever since he could use runes to control spiritual energy, he rarely encountered situations where he needed to engage in close-quarters combat with enemies.

This gave him a slight feeling of excitement.

"We don't mean that. These metal crosses are, after all, the property of the Orthodox Cross Church. It would be a pity to destroy them here."

The old follower took a step back, and a layer of spiritual energy shield appeared in front of the followers.

"For me, there are only two kinds of things in this world: things that can be destroyed and things that cannot. These metal crosses that don't belong to me fall into the category of things that can be destroyed."

Lin Ye took out Dark Dawn from his loot space and fired several shots at the spiritual energy shield. This pistol's power was somewhat insufficient for him now, but it was well-suited for use in this situation.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The bullets easily shattered the spiritual energy shield, but by the time Lin Ye pulled out Dark Dawn, the old follower had already led the other followers to the edge of the platform and jumped down into the sea of blood below.

Lin Ye turned to look at the other metal platforms. Due to the great distance, he could only watch as those followers stood on the same plane as him, which annoyed him slightly.

After everyone else had left the metal platform, Lin Ye suddenly received some information and a fragmented flesh-and-blood Alienation structure atlas.

The Phantom of the flesh-and-blood mountain range originated from the sealed Surprise Box.

This exceptionally dangerous flesh-and-blood Alienation structure atlas was one of the reasons it was sealed.

Above each giant Metal Cross Structure was a fragmented flesh-and-blood Alienation structure atlas. Only the first person to stand alone on it could obtain this atlas, and the core part of the atlas was at the highest point of the flesh-and-blood mountain range. Only the first person to reach the summit could obtain it.

'Never expected there'd be such a good thing...'

Lin Ye was very interested in this atlas. He needed to learn more about Alienation knowledge to confront that Abyssal Evil God. This atlas was a good source of knowledge.

'Sigh, I have to go down.'

If possible, Lin Ye really didn't want to go down at all.

That sea of blood below and the distant flesh-and-blood mountain range were not simple. This area was not only composed of abnormal flesh-and-blood rules but also incorporated the rule power of the metal crosses, making it very dangerous.

Lin Ye jumped down from the metal platform. Since those earlier followers hadn't died from the fall, he certainly wouldn't either.

As the altitude decreased, the rule suppression Lin Ye suffered gradually lessened. Before falling into the sea of blood, he hovered above it.

"Die!"

Several Cross followers in soiled golden robes surfaced from the sea of blood, launching some kind of rule attack at Lin Ye.

However, before those attacks could land on Lin Ye, they were neutralized by the Cross Scepter. Lin Ye gave the followers a somewhat speechless glance, and they were pierced through by compressed spiritual energy before being hung on those small metal crosses.

"Good thing you didn't come over to support me as the next Pope, otherwise, I'd have been in a bit of a bind."

Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"Shop Owner! Help! Your shop assistant is about to be killed!"

Yiven swam over from the distance, loudly calling for help from Lin Ye. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chasing behind her were over a dozen monsters with twisted bodies. These monsters all bore traces of being pierced by metal crosses. They were the monsters that had been fixed on the metal crosses all along and eventually fused with them.

Now they had been taken down again.
