Chapter 603: Under Divine Authority
”And then? Have you heard any other intruders?”
”No.” Amamiya Haruhide shook his head, “I’ve only heard rumors of invaders appearing, but I haven’t seen any.”
”How many?”
”From what I’ve heard, about two.”
”What’s the approximate time difference between their appearances?”
”Six months? Seven or eight months? I’m not sure.”
Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
Cao Yuan became the first intruder about two years ago, and after that, every half a year or seven or eight months, another intruder would appear …… If these intruders were all members of the Night Shade Squad ……
Does that mean that at least two years have passed since they were dispersed by the white-haired King Face?
But why was there such a big difference in the time each person landed? Where were the others during the time they disappeared in between?
The more Lin Qiye thought about it, the more confused he felt.
”Later, that first intruder you saw, where did he go?” Lin Qiye continued to ask.
”I don’t know, I went into seclusion for a while after that and never saw him again afterward.”
Lin Qiye sighed helplessly.
Cao Yuan’s clues, up to this point, were completely broken, but at least he knew that the other team members had already come to this country, even far earlier than himself …… and didn’t know where they were now.
The language is not clear, the forbidden ruins can not be used, want to avoid the pursuit of the oracle envoys and the police to live in this strange country, is by no means an easy thing.
”You’re a native of this place, why would you come together with the invaders? Shouldn’t they be enemies?” Lin Qiye asked the doubt in his heart.
Amamiya Haruhui calmly gazed into Lin Qiye’s eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
”To me, the enemy, there is only one.”
”Who?”
Amamiya Haruhui stretched out his hand and pointed towards the night sky above his head, those deep and cold eyes radiating killing intent as he uttered two words.
”Divine Right.”
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows rose slightly.
Amamiya Haruhui turned around and looked towards the distant night sky illuminated by neon lights, “What do you think, how is this country?”
”It’s lively, prosperous, and interesting.”
”Is that all?”
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, the number on Yuzurina’s body flashing in his mind, the Pure Land suspended over Tokyo, and the image of everyone on the streets just now, kneeling down and greeting the oracle messenger ……
”And …… pity.” He slowly spat out those two words.
Amamiya Haruhide’s hand holding the hilt of the [Rain Avalanche] sword was unconsciously clenched tightly, a vein on the back of his hand bursting out, and a touch of sadness surfaced in his eyes.
”Back then, that intruder said the same thing.
In my eyes, it’s like a string puppet wearing a gorgeous dress and a smiling mask, even if it looks good on the outside, it’s just a toy to be manipulated ……
Or, not even a toy.
The people here, under the divine right, are really too lowly.
But the people here have been indoctrinated with the idea of divine right supremacy since they were born, and they simply don’t realize that there’s anything wrong with it, feeling that their inferiority is taken for granted …… That’s the most pathetic part of it all.”
Amamiya Haruhui took a deep breath and helplessly closed his eyes, “This country is too sick, only blood and a sword can cut out that disgusting, tumor called ‘divine right’ from its body.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze towards Rain Palace Haruhui was somewhat surprised.
He had originally thought that in such a society where divine right was supreme, under the influence of four generations of inculcation, the people here had all become completely numb and lost the thought of resistance, but now it seemed that this thought was still too absolute.
Even in such an environment, there are still a very small number of people who have awakened themselves, breaking away from the solidification of their thinking and thinking about the contradiction between theocracy and human rights.
Most importantly, they had the courage to put this idea, which was considered by everyone to be treasonous, into practice, and even though the road ahead was incredibly bumpy, they were still steadfastly moving forward.
”I see.” Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, “The reason why you saved me is because you think that in the eyes of the divine power, we invaders are ‘evil’ and you, the rebels, are also ‘evil’, so we’re on the same path .”
”Perhaps our philosophies are different, but our enemies are the same.” Amamiya Haruhui nodded slightly, “By helping you, I’m creating trouble for the [Pure Land], that’s what I want.”
Lin Qiye smiled, “No wonder they’re listing you as a [Mighty Ghost] level wanted criminal with a reward of ten million yen …… By the way, what exactly is a [Mighty Ghost]?”
”You’re an outsider, it’s normal that you don’t understand the classifications of wanted criminals.” Amamiya Haruhide spoke up:
”All wanted criminals, according to the level of threat, are classified into four levels, which are [Night Fury], [Harvest Sparrow], [Fierce Ghost], and [Extreme Evil].
The [Night Fork] represents the ordinary level of wanted criminals, generally criminals who have committed intentional homicide, arson, or other vicious crimes, and belong to the focus of the police departments around the world;
The [Hunting Bird] is a heavier crime compared to the [Night Fork], such as mass murder, splitting bodies, causing terrorist attacks, burning important places, propagating cults, or controlling the leader of a vicious violent gang, whenever they appear, they have to mobilize a large-scale police force to encircle and annihilate them, which belongs to the category of the police department to be able to deal with reluctantly;
The [Fierce Ghosts] are completely different, the wanted criminals of this level are those who are judged to be capable of shaking social stability on a large scale, or possessing extremely dangerous power, with the ability to easily destroy an area and break the existing order, such as the holder of the Woeful Tsu Nine Blades. They could only be apprehended by the Oracle, and it was impossible for ordinary police forces to pose a threat to them;
[Extremely Evil] class wanted criminals were defined as those who ”possess the potential to cause extremely large-scale casualties”, ”shake the fundamentals of society”, ”challenge divine authority”, and ” Unforgivable wanted criminals with the potential to annihilate a nation’, and every time a [Extremely Evil] level wanted criminal appears, all the Oracle Ambassadors will join forces to round up and use the entire nation’s power to apprehend them.”
”Extremely evil ……”
Lin Qiye recited these two words, his eyes narrowing slightly, “How many oracle envoys are there in total?”
”Seven.” Amamiya Haruhui paused and added, “Each of them, they have reached the pinnacle of a certain path, and in this country, aside from a very few Woeful Zin Blade Masters, they are the strongest under the gods.”
Lin Qiye’s mind conjured up the white-robed oracle that had just appeared in his mind, in terms of realm, he was indeed a peak “Klein” realm powerhouse, but in certain aspects, he had indeed surpassed any “Klein” he had ever seen… …
Not to mention “Klein”, even the human ceiling might not be able to interrupt [Chopping White].
And once you become a wanted criminal at the [Extremely Evil] level, you’ll be surrounded by seven oracles?
That was a bit terrifying.
I’m afraid that no one would be able to carry it off until they reached that realm of human ceilings.
”There’s one more problem.” Lin Qiye looked like he thought of something, “You can’t use forbidden ruins here, so how did you just control so much rainwater? By virtue of a forbidden object?”
”Forbidden objects?” Amamiya Haruhide seemed unable to comprehend the meaning of these two words, and after hesitating for a moment, he pointed to the long dark blue sword at his waist.
”Do you know the Banezu Nine Blades?”
