Chapter 575: Chapter 518: Scapegoat, Darren Fischer!

When the terrifying projection of the Mechanical Reforging God finally began to slowly fade away in the sky, it left nothing but chaos in its wake.

In the Mechanical Holy City of the Lorne Empire, countless zealous followers of the Reforging Church lay collapsed on the ground as if they had all simultaneously lost power.

Devoid of all vitality.

They lay as if they had never lived, merely mechanical constructs of a species, completely losing function and falling to the ground.

Summoning the power of a god always came with a price.

And those devout followers had willingly stated more than once in their prayers that they would give everything for their god.

That too was a contract.

And a contract in itself possessed the greatest mystical quality.

The temporary ally of the Seven Stars Emperor—the Fischer family—keenly sensed the impending storm.

Darren’s eyes flashed with unease, fully aware that the disappearance of the Seven Stars Emperor meant not only the loss of the Seven Stars Empire’s most powerful Guardian but also that the once intimidated enemies would, like beasts breaking free of their restraints, stir restively, preparing to redivide the bountiful lands.

He instinctively looked toward the Thousand-year-old Pope of the Salvation Church.

The figure stood tall in the sky, seemingly still savoring the recent events and not even casting a glance at the Fischers.

However, for some reason, Darren could feel a bone-chilling murderous intent, filling his heart with coldness.

Something was amiss.

That old man, whose entire being was uncomfortable to be around, as if constantly exuding an aura of decay, paid no attention to the Fischer family at this moment, but he was definitely keeping his attention on them.

Moreover, the Pope’s murderous intent toward the Fischers was even more intense than toward the Seven Stars Emperor!

It could even be said that Darren felt a terrifying determination housed within the Pope of Redemption,

A determination to go all out, to sacrifice himself if necessary, to annihilate the Fischer family!

Darren had long ceased to fear death, even finding a sense of pleasure in the fraught excitement of danger.

But, even if he disregarded his personal circumstances, the survival of the entire Fischer family was still a matter of deep concern for him.

Darren’s lips involuntarily twitched, his body shook with conflicting emotions—tension roiled within him, yet he was unconsciously thrilled.
