Chapter 271 Prophecy spread, peace talks between the three religions


    After making these shocking remarks, the strong obsession that kept this soldier persisting until now finally dissipated.


    ?This body could no longer maintain a stable structure and melted like a wax statue, turning into a puddle of dark red viscous sludge.


    From this mud, biological tissues such as teeth, blood vessels, eyeballs, and half-melted internal organs can be vaguely seen.


    ??As Cameron stared at it, it was still expanding and contracting slightly, and making a hoarse and low sound from a certain part of its structure.


    “We…all died there…”


    ?It kept repeating this sentence, like raving after falling into a frenzy, which made those who heard it feel creepy.


    “Lieutenant Colonel Cameron! Please stay away from it as soon as possible!”


    On the shore, the deep-sea priests issued another warning and looked at Cameron with worried eyes.


    Even though the contact was only for a few seconds, the lieutenant colonel was at risk of contamination.


    This time, Cameron did not insist on having his own way. Instead, he took off his military hat, saluted solemnly to the mud, and whispered to himself.


    “Your sacrifice is far from meaningless.”


    “May your souls find rest in the deep sea.”


    Soon, Cameron cooperated and returned to the port.


    ??It''s just that at this time, the soldiers and priests kept a safe distance from him and did not approach rashly.


    —This is the correct procedure for service members who have been exposed to contaminants.


    After this, Cameron will be transferred to the church and undergo isolation observation and a series of mental evaluations.


    Cameron had already anticipated this.


    But right now, what is more important is to inform the big people who can really decide the fate of the Federation with the information brought back by the "Private".


    So, Cameron said to the priest: "Please give me a pen and paper. I have important military information to report."


    …


    …


    The next day.


    After applying all aspects of "divine purification" and making sufficient preparations.


    Members of the Public Security Bureau began a formal exploration of the "Private".


    When they stepped onto the deck of the Private, the scene on the ship shocked everyone.


    There is no one alive on this dilapidated warship.


    All that is left is a dark, silt-like substance.


    ?They are scattered all over the deck, mast, and cabins of the "Private". They are layered in layers and covered in every corner, crawling slowly and strangely.


    ?This kind of mud is alive!


    ?This discovery makes everyone who sets foot on the "Private" feel a little scared.


    ?Among these mud-like things, you can occasionally see one or two humanoid monsters with swollen and deformed bodies that do not look like soldiers at all.


    ?After the soldiers untied the clothes of the humanoid monsters, they discovered that their flesh and blood seemed to be "growing" together with the clothes.


    ?There are also large and small, incomprehensible wounds on his body.


    In some cabins, there is still a little white fibrous moisture, which looks like unformed neural structures.


    ?After the investigation, the pastor of the Deep Sea Church came to an incredible inference—


    ?This filthy sludge is none other than the crew of the "Private"!


    They encountered some unimaginable and terrifying enemy, and ended up taking this ugly, filthy form.


    Some fragments of clothing and identity plates found in the mud also prove this point.


    No one knows what the crew of the Private went through before they died.


    But just from the remaining emotions in the mud, we can also get a glimpse of the cruel truth.


    The investigation of the "Private" alarmed the soldiers and priests.


    ??Above the Seven Seas, what existence is there that dares to attack the warships of the Federation Navy?


    ??Moreover, in this cruel way of killing the entire crew and leaving no body intact?


    How can this not make them angry?


    The strange thing is that after the members of the Public Security Bureau handed over the investigation report.


    ?Far from starting an investigation immediately, the superiors issued a gag order to all those involved in the incident, prohibiting them from spreading relevant information.


    Key figures in the investigation, such as Lieutenant Colonel Cameron and the leader Storm Priest, even suffered confinement.


    Speaking of "isolation", it actually means putting them under house arrest.


    In fact, it is not difficult to understand why the federation did this.


    The return of the "Private" is related to the "King" that was sent out to perform a secret mission a few days ago.


    The information about the "Second Great Flood" and "Prophecy of Doom" obviously cannot be widely disseminated in the Federation, otherwise it will cause great panic.


    A certain degree of information blockade is naturally necessary.


    However, it was beyond everyone’s expectations.


    On the third day after the "Private" returned to Hong Kong, rumors about the "second world-destroying flood" spread like wildfire on the "Liu Li Island".


    No one knows where the news first came from.


    But by the time federal officials found out, the situation was already out of control.


    People knew about the return of the "Private" and the trap of the "King".


    Even the soldier’s last words were known to the people.


    ?This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Federation.


    After all, that is the [King]!


    It can be said that it is a warship that embodies the latest and most advanced technology of the Federation.


    Among the warships currently in service, there are only a few large ships with a tonnage exceeding the "King".


    Even the "King" sank in this operation, which in itself showed the seriousness of the matter.


    As the central island of the Federation, information and intelligence spread so fast on [Liu Li Island].


    In less than half a day, the spread of rumors was unstoppable.


    It was like a bomb was dropped on the Seven Seas.


    For a time, people who knew the news couldn''t help but panic, and rumors spread.


    Compared to this big news, the confrontation between the three major forces some time ago seems to be just a small matter.


    …


    …


    A tiny secret place that few people know about.


    In the chaotic space, three powerful consciousnesses descended one after another.


    The first thing that comes is an existence that seems to be composed of codes, numbers and graphics.


    They seem to flash rapidly in the form of some kind of matrix. They seem to be irregular but also seem to contain some kind of "reason", emitting a cold, rational glimmer.


    After arriving first, this consciousness remained silent, as if waiting for something.


    Soon, a dazzling light came.


    His arrival seemed to illuminate this strange space, bringing light and heat that could not be ignored.


    What finally appeared was a deep and deep darkness.


    ?Just staring at him was like staring into the deep sea with a depth of tens of thousands of meters.


    It''s like...being stared at by some existence under the deep sea.


    “Very good, everyone seems to be here.”


    ?The will that exuded a glimmer of reason was the first to speak: "I think you all know the prophecy of the ''second world-destroying flood''."


    “In this case, will you continue to fight against me [the Truth Society]?”


    It was the important figures of each of the three major forces who brought their consciousness to this secret realm.


    Under normal circumstances, this negotiation would not have occurred at all, and the three major forces would just fight each other until they could no longer fight. However, the spread of this prophecy caused the attitudes of the three parties to waver a little.


    Although the metaphors of gods are very important, it is undeniable that not all believers are unscrupulous madmen.


    They live in this world after all, and there is no way they can just watch this world being flooded again.


    ?The attitude has been softened, but the hatred has been forged and cannot be easily resolved.


    represents the will of [Hui Jiao] and snorted coldly.


    “Perhaps this prophecy was leaked by people from you [Truth Society], right?”


    “What a great idea. Do you want to take this opportunity to take a breather?”


    The light group of [Truth Society] denied: "I don''t know what you are talking about."


    “Besides, compared with the losses, it’s not easy for both of you, right?”


    “If we continue to fight, will you be able to hold on?”


    ?At this moment, the black shadow of the [Netherworld Sect] who had previously remained silent suddenly spoke sadly.


    “Then, you might as well give it a try.”


    “Let’s see who can’t hold on first.”


    ?His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of madness.


    Hearing this, the representative of the [Truth Society] cursed secretly in his heart.


    “These crazy people who believe in the ancient gods!”


    Compared to the [Hui Sect], during this period, the [Truth Society] was more troubled by the attacks from the [Youshu Sect].


    No matter what, the [Billions of Glory Sect] is an orthodox religion from the previous era, and its behavior is relatively upright and upright.


    But [Youshu Sect] is different.


    ?This secret sect that believes in the ancient gods of the deep sea is itself composed of a group of guys who are polluted by the deep sea.


    There are even some outright lunatics among them.


    ?Methods such as cursing, poisoning, and contamination are even more readily available, causing great trouble to the [Truth Society].


    ?Furthermore, what depresses the members of the [Truth Society] the most is that they have no idea how they got into trouble with the Nether Sect.


    ?It was obvious that they deliberately avoided each other on weekdays.


    In fact, the [Truth Society] also felt extremely helpless regarding [Huijiao]’s reason for declaring war.


    It’s actually an oracle from [Lord of Radiance]!


    ?This can’t help but make some members of the [Truth Society] wonder whether the outside **** is aware of some of their research.


    Only then will the oracle come.


    Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, the [Truth Society] representative softened his attitude and said.


    “Continuing to fight like this will not be beneficial to all three of us.”


    “Since no one wants to see the second great flood coming, let’s do this. Each of the three parties will send a group of people to the far north to investigate the whole story of this incident.”


    The representative of [Truth Society] paused and continued.


    “At the same time, it’s also a competition.”


    “Which side plays the greatest role in preventing the flood from coming, will be the ultimate winner.”


    “The loser needs to tell the other two parties the real names and identities of the fifty core members of their respective sects.”


    In this world, the true name itself has a special effect.


    For forces like the [Truth Society], [Hui Jiao] and [Yu Sui Sect], knowing the true name is equivalent to controlling the life and death of those people.


    The list of these fifty people can determine the final outcome of the three parties to a large extent.


    It is worth mentioning.


    The words of [Truth Society] made [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] also become targets of competition.


    This is obviously a naked conspiracy.


    [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] have different beliefs, which is an irresolvable contradiction in itself.


    One is an alien **** outside this world.


    The other is an ancient **** who sleeps in the deep sea.


    Neither would mind using this list to weaken the other if given the chance.


    After a brief hesitation, the consciousness of the great priest of [Hui Jiao] responded.


    "Can."


    “Then, during the period of competition, we shall have a temporary truce.”


    A hoarse voice also came from the dark shadow of [Youshu Religion]: "In this case, we will swear an oath to the three gods under the witness of the secret sea."


    Not long after, the three parties swore an oath together after agreeing on it.


    The oath is fulfilled.


    The representatives of the [Truth Society] could not help but breathe a little sigh of relief.


    These days, the [Truth Society] has been at war with two parties at the same time, and the pressure it has received is naturally extremely high.


    The most critical thing is that the plan they have been preparing for has been postponed and delayed due to this inexplicable war, and the progress has stalled.


    The reason why the [Truth Society] wants to have temporary peace talks is probably to delay the time.


    The reason why [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect] chose to have a truce is because...


    During this period, the price they paid was also quite heavy.


    Only after the actual war, the two esoteric sects realized that the [Truth Society] actually hid such a powerful force.


    ??Those scholars working in the Federal Research Institute and researchers hidden in various islands may not be very strong in frontal combat, but they always have many weird methods that are difficult to guard against and unpredictable.


    ?According to some captured members of the [Truth Society], a "truth network" has been established between them using special relics to communicate.


    The speed of dissemination of knowledge and technology has reached an unprecedented peak with the blessing of this "truth network".


    It also gave members of the two major esoteric sects a deep understanding of the power of science and technology.


    ?As the losses intensified, some voices of opposition emerged within both [Hui Sect] and [Yousu Sect].


    —Especially during this period, the [Black Light] never appeared in the [Glory Crystal Mirror] again.


    Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the "oracle".


    Even Archbishop Musa was a little suspicious.


    Some people in the [Yousui Sect] feel that what Priest William heard in the ten thousand-meter deep sea may not be the teachings of the [Yousui Descendants].


    ??It could also be that he was hallucinating.


    Or maybe, it’s not [Yousui’s descendant] at all.


    In short, for one reason or another, the two esoteric sects cannot be as resolute as before the war.


    ?This is why the secret peace talks came about.


    …


    …


    at the same time.


    On the vast sea.


    [Black Swan] and [Diamond Star] were traveling in tandem.


    ?At this moment, a ship with sails decorated with jet-black flames was speeding towards the [Black Swan].
