Luo Zhen said, "The truth about Sakorta will overturn your beliefs."
His words made Remien ponder. She didn't know the truth about Laterano and Sarkaz, but could Rogen really be the holy son who guided them?
"You seem to be discussing something very interesting. Could you tell me about it, Your Highness?"
An unfamiliar voice came from behind, and a black-haired girl walked gracefully towards them, a captivating beauty mark under her eye, and black over-the-knee stockings that outlined her slender legs.
She was entirely black, including the halo above her head and the wings behind her. She smiled at Luo Zhen, her beauty tinged with danger.
"Arturo!"
Remian looked warily at Arturo. Her Originium Arts could arouse desires in people through music, which had caused many crimes and made her a rather dangerous person.
"Don't be nervous, Remien. What can I possibly do in front of the Holy Son?"
Arturo, holding a violin bow and standing beside a uniquely shaped cello, approached Luo Zhen in high heels: "Back in Laterano, Remyle has been spreading your great deeds everywhere, which has made me yearn for you. Would you like to hear me play a piece?"
[Request: Arturo wishes you to hear her play a complete piece of music.]
[Reward for Commissioning: 1000 Commission Crystals]
To require a thousand commission crystals, Arturo's music is somewhat extraordinary, but only somewhat so.
“Holy Son, you don’t need to pay any attention to her.”
Remünen remarked, "Her music has a kind of magic."
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Zhen said nonchalantly, "I've heard that Arturo is quite talented in music, so I've come to listen to him."
"What courage! No wonder you are the Holy Son."
The melodious tune, like flowing water, bursts forth from the strings, the soothing notes imbued with a rich texture, blending into the deep melody with the movement of the strings.
Exusiai had already snuggled up to him. She grabbed Luo Zhen's hand and placed it on her head, praying devoutly while looking at Luo Zhen with expectant eyes, like a puppy seeking praise.
Remien couldn't resist the urge either. She grabbed Luo Zhen's other hand, gently kissed his fingertips, and expressed her gratitude to Luo Zhen with the same sincere expression.
As for Luo Zhen himself, he didn't have any special feeling. His mental strength was a weakness, but this weakness was compared to the power of the star core that could cover the surface of the earth. His mental strength was still far from sufficient.
But if you compare him to Arturo, he's much stronger. After all, he has several mental skills like Dream, Spirit Reforging, Taixu Divine Sword, and Substitute, which are far superior to Terra's little animals and he's completely unaffected.
When the song ended, Exusiai returned to normal. Remien, embarrassed, put down her hand, which was covered in her saliva from her kisses, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Rozen's hands.
[The commission is complete, and you have received 1,000 Commission Crystals]
"Very high level, very pleasant to listen to."
Luo Zhen admired Arturo's cello technique, which was so accessible that even a layman could appreciate it and immerse himself in pure music.
"As expected of the Holy Son, he wasn't affected at all."
Arturo was very interested in him. "Could you also tell me the truth about Lateran that you just mentioned? I'm very interested in it."
Unlike other empathetic Sarkaz, Arturo is an outlier who doesn't fit into Laterano's atmosphere.
"Regarding this point, I don't know if I have time to explain it to you now."
Luo Zhen looked outside, his unbridled use of dream abilities attracting the attention of the true controller of this place.
For example, Papal Knight Partridge, Patriarch Qifa, and the Cyber Ghost are probably also secretly watching Luo Zhen from the shadows.
A squad of guards arrived, attempting to arrest the group. Luo Zhen immediately teleported them through space and created numerous explosives.
"See that sanctuary for the infants? Blow it up."
"okay!"
Upon hearing the command, the Archangel readily agreed without a second thought and excitedly went to bomb the sanctuary.
Remien asked in a low voice, "What is the Infant Sanctuary for again?"
She found her memory somewhat hazy; she clearly felt that the existence of the Nursery Church was normal, but she couldn't recall what it did.
A newborn baby?
"It's used for transformation."
Luo Zhen said, "Transform everyone on Terra into Sarkaz."
Chapter 118 The Machine Gives Birth to an Angel and Conquers the Continent of Terra.
The whole team turning into Sarkaz? That sounds like it makes no problem.
Compared to other countries in Terra that live in cesspools, Laterano, though somewhat filthy, can be considered paradise.
Many Sarkaz wished to share this glory with other races, but simply couldn't.
Andorn, the culprit who caused Remian's severe injuries and paralysis of both legs, harbored such thoughts. He was tormented by the fact that only the Sarkaz were saved and tried to find a way to save everyone on Terra.
Remian had a chance to stop him, but because of Sakorta's empathy and compassion for the pain he felt, she didn't fire, resulting in her being severely wounded by him.
Even Arturo, who was an outlier and uninterested in Lateran, was well aware of the hardships faced by other people after traveling to other countries.
"If it's just about changing race, there are some problems, but they're not that big of a problem."
Luo Zhen said, "But the Sarkaz have been around for ten thousand years. Why didn't they advance this plan before? Why are they pulling you into this dream without any warning or notification?"
"Are you too eager to save Terra, or are you worried that you will hinder this plan?"
Upon hearing Luo Zhen's words, the three of them also realized that something was amiss. If the goal was truly for everyone on Terra to join hands and usher in a harmonious society, why pull everyone into a dream?
It's more like they're worried they'll stop the plan.
"You know a lot."
Patriarch Qifa silently appeared before Luo Zhen, and the dream spreading from the PCS host was covered. With the help of Precys, it located Luo Zhen as the source and notified Patriarch Qifa.
Patriarch Cipha was the first generation of saints. Although he had long since died, the PCS system replicated his will, which exists in dreams and has taken the place of the original pope.
In his dream, Sakta forgot the Pope and regarded him as the current ruler.
Patriarch Qifa stared intently at Luo Zhen, showing no respect whatsoever. Other Sakortas might not know this, but how could he not?
The so-called Sarkaz are nothing but products of pre-civilization machines, and the so-called Lord and angels are all lies and do not exist. Since this is the case, the Messiah is naturally also false, and the Son of God does not exist at all.
Luo Zhen didn't care about his gaze. In any case, Patriarch Qifa was not qualified to oppose him. He continued to say to the three of them, "Do you want to know the truth about Sarkaz? It may overturn your beliefs."
Exusiai said without hesitation, "If we still don't dare to face the truth after such a big thing has happened in Laterano, then we're really too weak."
Remian nodded slightly, sharing the same idea, while Arturo was very interested in the essence of faith.
"Ten thousand years ago, the Sarkaz were still called the Tikkaz. They were besieged by the gods and the ancient people. In order to drive out these outsiders without leaving any behind, the Demon King sent a large number of troops to search for the relics of the pre-civilization scattered on the earth."
"One of the teams found a host called the Personality and Cognition Synchronization System (PCS). Despite various rituals, it could not be activated. When their rations ran out and they were starving, a Sarkaz attempted to kill and eat his companion. This action activated the PCS system, giving the Sarkaz an aura and transforming him into the original Sarkaz."
Patriarch Qifa's movements were restricted by Luo Zhen, preventing him from attacking or leaving. Seeing that the truth had been revealed by Luo Zhen, he angrily shouted, "Shut up! Do you want to destroy Sarkaz and the entire Laterano?!"
No one paid attention to his roar; he was suppressed by Luo Zhen and couldn't even make a move against the others.
Arturo suddenly lost interest in the so-called gods:
"In other words, the God they worship doesn't exist, right? What a boring answer."
Remien was somewhat shocked, while Exusiai looked at Luo Zhen. As someone who had entered the quest house, she knew Luo Zhen's background, and her faith remained unshaken.
"Although our Lord is false, the faith is real. I have seen the true Messiah, and you cannot comprehend his greatness."
Patriarch Qifa found Exusiai's words utterly incomprehensible. Knowing the truth, how could he still believe those compiled scriptures?
He was unaware that Luo Zhen had displayed a real miracle; after all, he was merely a piece of data, a piece of code, pulled from the database by the PCS system.
"So what's your decision?"
Luo Zhen said, "Whether to let them run wild, support them, or stop them, I will not interfere with your choice."
"Of course, we must stop them!"
Exusiai said, "I'm going to blow that machine to smithereens."
"why?"
Patriarch Qifa was utterly perplexed and agitated. "I just don't understand," he said, "how can such a wonderful plan—to convert everyone on Terra into Sarkaz, benefiting Terra and you all—not be implemented?"
"Wouldn't it be better if everyone could have empathy, understand each other, and eliminate conflict?"
"Can it really be eliminated? Then why are my sister's legs paralyzed? Why is Arturo wanted by Laterano? And what about those fallen angels?"
The examples Exusiai gave left Patriarch Qifa speechless. She questioned Patriarch Qifa, "Does the ability to empathize make us more sensitive or less sensitive? Can we truly understand each other's feelings and resolve conflicts?"
Patriarch Qifa couldn't answer her question, but that didn't matter: "You've also left Laterano and seen what other countries are like. Even with all their flaws, aren't the Sarkaz still far superior to them?"
Exusiai can't deny this point; even though Lungmen is already very good, it still can't compare to Laterano.
"If it were simply a matter of converting races to reduce conflict, that would indeed be a good thing. But the change in the PCS system is due to a cybernetic ghost from a previous civilization. Converting all races into Laterano is just the first step."
Luo Zhen came out to spoil the plot and reveal the truth: "The second step is to cover the entire continent of Terra with Originium."
"The third step is to cover the entire universe with Originium and then freeze everything."
"You're right, aren't you, Priscilla?"
Precys's figure appeared. After discovering that the dream here had been tampered with and locating Luo Zhen, she had been observing Luo Zhen from the shadows.
At this moment, Luo Zhen had already arrived at the underground location in Laterano where the PCS host was stored, and could destroy the host at any time.
"You want to stop me?"
Precys said, "Stop me for them? You should know the crisis we face. Stop playing house on this land."
“Prisus, I have learned one thing in my long human life: human abilities have limits. The more cunning one is, the more likely one is to fall into unexpected predicaments.”
"It is impossible to surpass the loggers with the projects we have left behind."
Precys asked, puzzled, "Luo Zhen, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"I'm not going to be a human being... no, I'm not going down the technology path!"
He pointed to the PCS mainframe in front of him: "As you probably know, this machine is a clumsy imitation of the angel race that exists in the universe. Previous civilizations were unable to study the principles of creating angels, but believe it or not, angels can be born from this machine."
"what?"
Priscilla, who had maintained a calm expression throughout, finally showed emotion. "Are you serious? How is that possible?"
It's certainly possible, since it's supposed to give birth to angels, but given that the plot has been changed, even Luo Zhen isn't sure if it's really possible.
"It was just an experiment to prove that I had pushed the limits of technology."
