Otaku Witch-Chapter 625 - 456. Church of Machinery

After the first Salvation Conference, the witches had begun to take action.

In less than a week, the major gangs and cult organizations that had once bullied their way around the outskirts of the City of Sin were mysteriously eradicated.

According to the very few witnesses, it seemed to be the work of a group of young girls who could use magic. Someone had been drinking one night and on his way home past midnight, he saw five little girls entering the territory of those gangs. The next day, that gang was gone.

A few of the surviving gang members, filled with fear, claimed that they were not just any girls but witches possessed by the Devil, monstrous creatures...

Those poor survivors mostly seemed to have lost their minds out of fear, babbling about talking goats, creatures that were half-goat, half-cat, half-horse girls, and all sorts of nonsensical things.

Most residents of the outskirts didn't believe the ramblings of the mentally disturbed survivors of the gangs. They weren't even really concerned about the destruction of the gangs, since such events were quite common.

To the people of the outskirts, it was just another gang struggle, the old gangs had fallen, and soon new ones would rise to take their place. They were more concerned with how to gather protection money for the new gang that would inevitably come.

As a result, the business at the Blood Temple in the city had soared these past few days, to the point that the vampires acting as Blood Priests were getting tired of bloodletting.

However, when people got their protection money ready early, waiting for the new gang members to come and collect, they waited in vain for anyone to show up.

The days were unexpectedly comfortable, and even the Supernatural Villains that used to bother them disappeared without a trace. The chaotic outskirts suddenly became peaceful.

If there was anything unusual, it was that the territories once belonging to the gangs had suddenly been enclosed, and construction noises could be heard every day.

The strange, disturbing rumbling noises from the construction made people uneasy, making them wonder if something terrifying was being brewed inside.

And then, a week later, the curtains that surrounded the area were removed, displaying two magnificent structures that left the onlookers in awe.

One was a tall and majestic Church, and the other was an expansive, grand factory.

And these two were not the usual wooden or stone buildings, but large steel structures, the overwhelming metallic texture making the buildings look like two black beasts lying on the ground, instilling fear at just a glance.

After all, in this era, steel was a controlled substance, generally used by Knights for making Armor or weapons, not something to waste on building houses.

As for the price of steel, just think of a Knight's most valuable possessions in their house, the ancestral Armor and sword, to understand.

And now, the amount of steel used in these two buildings, when converted into how many Armor and weapons that could be, was enough to take anyone's breath away.

Such extravagance was indeed beyond their wildest imagination.

But the question arose: who could possibly be so bold to construct these two buildings in such a rough district, and why?

People didn't dare to think or ask; they passed by these buildings with trepidation, fearing they might disturb the masters inside.

However, in stark contrast to these luxurious and imposing structures, the heads of both the Church and the factory were surprisingly amiable.

They would warmly invite passersby to visit and inquire if they were interested in joining them.

This invitation seemed like a pie in the sky, too good to be true. But the people on the outskirts, having suffered so much, didn't believe such good fortune existed. Most were too scared to even enter, and when invited, they would just slink away.

In fact, they refused so nervously that it made one wonder if not showing face to the masters would anger them.

Fortunately, it seemed the masters of the Church and factory were unexpectedly gentle, and they showed tolerance without anger towards those who declined.

Another week passed, and finally, a Brave one mustered the courage to enter the Church and factory.

The onlookers watched as this Brave man walked in; someone recognized him as Gray, the man Widow Eve had taken in—they also had an ugly daughter named Koreya.

Everyone thought that Gray probably wouldn't come back out, but from morning until evening, when the onlookers' patience had almost run out, Gray came out. He excitedly told the crowd about what he had seen inside and proclaimed that good days were ahead for the community.

According to Gray, the Church was known as the "Church of Machinery", and although it was indeed a religious sect, the Church didn't honor any Deities. The Priests were explorers of technology, Monks on the Way of Mechanical,

The doctrine of the Church was to encourage people to change their lives through technology, promising that everyone could obtain a better life through the power of technology.
