Chapter 430: Chaos Kingdom
Now, in this vast world, only about 180 Alien Star warriors remain.
Finding a warrior from Qi Yuan Star among them, and one whose skills align with the keywords needed to defeat the Sun God, is almost like hitting the jackpot.
But it's not entirely about luck.
Reliel, the righteous seraph, drives the Sun God's chariot openly across the sky.
In theory, with everyone aiming to awaken the gods, the seraph is the closest shortcut to the Sun God. Alien Star warriors with a sense of adventure are highly likely to approach Reliel proactively.
Du Ge and Fira had agreed on a four-day timeframe, which is the shortest time Fira needs to travel to and from the Misty Forest.
Within these four days, Du Ge must return to Boderuna.
Of course, as long as Fira's poison is in place, it wouldn't matter if Du Ge arrives a bit late.
However, to avoid any unforeseen complications, Du Ge stuck strictly to this timeframe.
In the Alien Star Battlefield, everyone moves quickly, and many variables can arise.So, Du Ge couldn't stray too far. He randomly chose a direction different from the Lucerne Kingdom.
After all.
He had traveled all the way from the Lucerne Kingdom without finding any signs of Alien Star warriors.
...
"This country is called the Moser Kingdom. Due to its terrain, it's different from the all-human Lucerne Kingdom. Here, many races coexist, including orcs, half-orcs, elves, half-elves, dwarves, and halflings, though humans are still the majority. After all, humans reproduce far more rapidly than other races."
Reliel introduced the kingdom below to Du Ge from the Sun God's chariot.
The distance between the Moser Kingdom and the Lucerne Kingdom was too great. Holly, who had never traveled far and was ignorant, knew nothing about the characteristics and composition of other countries.
"You can tell just from the names of the races," Du Ge's mouth twitched slightly. Half-orcs, half-elves, halflings... it's not just about reproductive ability; it's like they have no taboos at all.
"In the Moser Kingdom, humans hold a relatively higher status. These hybrid races have very low social status, and even their parents look down on them," Reliel said with a wry smile.
Du Ge could guess as much without Reliel's explanation.
He looked down at the kingdom below, thinking that if he were born in this country, it would be easy to gain either righteousness or division points.
"Reliel, slow down when we approach large towns. Fly slowly over the city," Du Ge instructed as they approached a densely populated town.
"Alright," Reliel responded, slowing down decisively. He wasn't entirely sure of Du Ge's purpose this time, but he knew Du Ge wouldn't act without reason. It was always safe to follow his lead.
"Does the Moser Kingdom have a church?" Du Ge asked.
"Yes," Reliel replied. "The Moser Kingdom also has a church. The Pope's name is Quim. However, due to the diverse races, many do not worship the Sun God. Therefore, the church here is not as large as in the Lucerne Kingdom. If you need information from the Pope, I can take you directly to the church headquarters..."
"No need, just fly over the city a few more times," Du Ge said. His divine sense could almost cover the entire city. After a few rounds, he would know if there were any Alien Star warriors in the city.
In the previous two Alien Star Battlefields, he often used this method to find people, and it never failed.
As the Sun God's chariot passed, most of the city's residents looked up, some even pointing at the angel boldly.
Du Ge looked down.
Indeed, the crowd on the streets included cat-faced, pig-faced, and horse-headed half-orcs, as well as sharp-eared, handsome half-elves...
These hybrids were indeed in a poor situation, mostly dressed in coarse cloth, looking haggard, and doing hard labor like building streets.
Some better-looking ones worked outside inns and brothels, attracting customers. Occasionally, a lecherous person would take advantage of them, and these hybrids wouldn't dare to resist, instead putting on a humble smile, afraid of angering them.
Many strong or more handsome hybrids were chained up like livestock, available for nobles to choose from...
Du Ge frowned slightly. Though his methods were ruthless and he had killed many, he rarely bullied the weak. This was a filthy country.
As the Sun God's chariot passed through the city of Landu, the conversations of the people below reached Du Ge's ears, his brain quickly filtering out useful information.
...
"It's the Sun God's chariot, the seraph from Boderuna!"
"So what? Can angels save us from our suffering? They're just in cahoots with the church, only wanting to squeeze our wealth..."
"Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you. I heard angels have divine power."
"What are you afraid of? If he has the guts, let him kill me. Life is meaningless anyway."
"Did you hear? In East Coast City, a sage has founded a new religion called the Celestial King Church. Their doctrine is equality for all..."
"Kro, stop dreaming. I no longer believe in equality. Those new religions will just trick us, take our money, and sell us into the mines. They'll squeeze every bit of value out of us."
"Zadi, this time it's real. I heard many half-orcs have fled to the East Coast. I heard the Great Celestial King killed the city lord to fight for half-orc rights."
"Then we definitely can't go. Killing the city lord is a grave crime. King Moser will send troops to attack him. In this country, no one can stand up for us..."
...
"Reliel, is the East Coast far from here?" Du Ge asked. In a world where everyone sees hybrids as inferior, someone suddenly advocating for equality is most likely an Alien Star warrior.
"Not far, at the border of the Moser Kingdom. We can get there in a day at most," Reliel replied. "King Holly, are we going to the East Coast? It's a city with a mixed population and very chaotic law and order..."
"Yes, we're going there," Du Ge nodded. "But before that, find the nobles of this city. I want to hold a grand judgment."
The Moser Kingdom was too far from the Lucerne Kingdom, and King Holly's reputation hadn't reached here. Otherwise, the despairing half-orcs below wouldn't have this attitude.
But it's not too late. Du Ge would show them what true equality and real action meant.
...
Reliel was very efficient.
In fact, few nobles would dare to disrespect a seraph, even if they didn't worship the Sun God. When a seraph summons, they must come, and in full regalia.
But this time, they faced Du Ge's judgment.
When the nobles on the square, with faces full of panic, confessed their crimes, the onlookers were in an uproar.
When the man with the Sea God martial soul stepped out of the Sun God's chariot, holding the Sword of Judgment, declared them guilty, and beheaded the nobles, announcing that he would constantly patrol the human world to punish all guilty ones, the city of Landu fell into complete chaos.
Especially the oppressed hybrids, who immediately became Du Ge's followers.
They didn't care if the person coming out of the Sun God's chariot was the Sun God.
They only needed to know that this god named King Holly could bring them a better life!
...
After the killings, Du Ge, amid the cheers, got back into the Sun God's chariot and headed to the next city.
In the Lucerne Kingdom, he would stay to calm the people, promote policies, and extract as many attribute points as possible. But now, time was limited, and he couldn't afford to do that. He would let the attributes ferment naturally.
Killing nobles could increase righteousness attributes, the chaos from killing nobles could increase division attributes, and using the Sword of Judgment to kill guilty people could speed up the sword's evolution into a derivative item. It was a win-win-win situation.
Compared to the Alien Star warrior who founded the Celestial King Church, Du Ge preferred to enhance his own strength.
He was five times weaker than the Sun God. If the Forest God's herbs could weaken the Sun God by half, their strength difference would be less than twice.
If he could double his attributes in the next two or three days, the gap with the Sun God would narrow further. Even if he couldn't win, he would have a better chance of escaping.
Thus, Du Ge continued his journey, judging and killing countless people, leaving behind a trail of legends about King Holly...
