Although the white-haired doll ran away, its position has been locked by Duanmuhuai through the reconnaissance servo skull. Logically speaking, the next step should be to attack the door in one go and completely defeat these monsters.

but……………

"So, why can't you act?"

Faced with Lorena's answer, Duanmu Huai was not angry at all. As long as it was a task, NPCs could do whatever they wanted, so he had long been used to it.

"I'm really sorry, Lord Knight, it's a long story..."

"It's okay, we have enough time."

I don't believe you can still say it won't happen in one year?

So, Lorena also told Duan Muhuai about the situation with some embarrassment.

Simply put, it is...a schism within the church.

This can be traced back to some time ago, when demons attacked this country, and the church naturally went to fight to eliminate the demons. In the early stages of the fierce battle, many church clergy were injured and lost their lives because of fighting demons.

The limbs had to retreat, and the fighting situation at that time was also quite critical.

But at that time, a foreigner suddenly appeared. He said that he could help those who had lost their limbs and rebuild prosthetic limbs so that they could return to the battlefield again.

At that time, the church also approved that person's suggestion. After that, those clergy who lost their hands and feet in the battle with demons were equipped with mechanical prostheses and participated in the battle again.

I have to say that these prosthetic limbs are indeed very powerful. In the end, the church relied on everyone's strength to successfully repel the demon. However... an unimaginable crisis emerged.

Among the clergy who underwent surgical transformation and received prosthetic limbs from that man, many began to change their beliefs. They believed that the best way to get closer to God was through machinery and steel. Not just through exercise and prayer, of course.

Well, at the beginning, the church did not do anything about this. After all, in the view of the church, as long as everyone still believes in gods, minor disputes over the understanding of faith can be put aside for the time being.

But after that, for some unknown reason, the clergy who had installed prosthetic limbs all gathered in the side hall on the other side of the city. According to them, they wanted to communicate with the gods through machinery there. Regarding this, the Archbishop

They also adopted a tacit attitude. After all, these people have sacrificed a lot to protect the city and the people. If they want to do it, then let's do it.

However, after that... things slowly started to get worse.

Those priests who call themselves "Mechanicus" have completely closed themselves off and no longer interact with other fellow believers. Moreover, they have also begun to spread the so-called "the body is just a burden, and only by surrendering oneself to steel can one communicate with the gods."

Concept. The church is a little anxious about this, but there is nothing they can do about it. In any case, this is just some conflict within the church over doctrine. It is impossible for them to eliminate each other because of this kind of thing. Not to mention, those monks of the Mechanicus are all

The church, which was a great contributor in previous wars, could not rashly start a civil war because of this.

Therefore, the current situation is that the Church and the Mechanicus each manage half of the city, and the river in the middle becomes the dividing line between the two sides. Normally, members of the church on both sides will not trespass into the other's territory. Moreover, I heard that the Mechanicus

The monks there are also serious about solving problems for the people, so the church does not intend to meddle in other people's affairs.

However... all this is based on the premise that the Mechanicus is a peaceful organization.

If they really created that kind of terrifying and bloodthirsty dolls and even sent them here to kill, then it would be another matter.

But because the matter was so important, the church did not dare to act rashly.

"... Therefore, the Bishop just ordered everyone to be on guard, and she plans to negotiate with the other party..."

What's the use of this?

After listening to Lorena's explanation, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. This place had become soul fragments. This shows that something terrible must have happened in the end, leading to the destruction of the entire city.

"Since you can't take action, let me take care of it."

"Huh? But......"

"As you know, the doll that appeared yesterday seems to have something to do with Ogis. Even if you don't have this matter, we still have to get to the bottom of it."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the system's task prompt. Although he found the white-haired doll, there was no prompt that the task was completed, which means that the problem has not been solved at all. The white-haired doll did not really plan all of this.

people.

After everything was over, it was already late at night, and Lorena also arranged for the two of them to rest in the church's guest room. Duanmu Huai did not choose to sleep on the soft and comfortable-looking bed. Instead, he sat down against the wall.

Unless he returns to the space station, Duanmu Huai will never come out of the power armor. Fortunately, after equipping the power armor, Duanmu Huai's body seems to be completely integrated with the power armor, and he has become a mechanical one.

It feels like even the metabolism is not that obvious anymore.

But...what will it become?

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside through the window. To be honest, since coming to this world until now, he has been exhausted and completing tasks everywhere. But all of this is based on the coming disaster and the chaos of subspace.

The threat of evil gods. He knew very well that no matter what he did on this planet, it would not have much impact on the evil gods. For them, this planet was just a playground for the evil gods.

Therefore, the enemies on this planet are actually not that powerful. The reason why the evil gods let these low-level monsters come over is not because they don’t have high-level thugs, but because it is a planet with a relatively low level of civilization.

, it just limits their level and strength limit.

But when it comes to the vast sea of ​​​​stars, what Duanmu Huai has to face is not just childish things like Chaos Warriors, but space hulks, fallen space warriors, chaos fleets, alien invasions, and plane wars.

All of which would make the current chaos on the planet look like a schoolboy-level brawl.

The battle with the Star Sea as the battlefield far exceeds the medieval level of war on this planet.

In the game, even if there are a large number of players, there will still be a lot of sacrifices and losses. But now, what role can it play if I am the only one here?

Duanmu Huai has been immersed in the task, just to not let himself think too much, just like in the game, just accept the task mechanically and complete the task, don't think so much about other things... However, when it is late at night,

, when his spirit relaxed, this complicated feeling came to his mind again.

"Owner?"

Just when Duanmu Huai was wandering, a voice suddenly sounded from his ears. When he came back to his senses, he saw Ojis lying on her body like a kitten, with a pair of bright red eyes shining with bright brilliance.

, staring at Duanmuhuai.

"You seem to be in bad shape?"

"I just thought about the future, and I was a little worried."

"future??"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Ogis tilted her head slightly.

"That's right."

Staring at the doll girl in front of him, Duanmuhuai reached out his hand, gently stroked her head, and said.

"In the future, we will encounter very powerful enemies. They are so pervasive that they are almost difficult to eradicate, and they are so powerful that they cannot even be completely eliminated... To be honest, when I think about it sometimes, I wonder if this is the right decision.

It’s my decision. Maybe, I should abandon all this and find a place to live alone for the rest of my life. I won’t cause trouble and don’t care about these bad things..."

Duanmu Huai was not lying. Based on his experience, he could definitely find a beautiful planet without people and live there comfortably until he died of old age.

Anyway, the universe is infinite, and the confrontation with the Chaos Evil God will take at least a few hundred years to start, and it may not be completely finished in tens of thousands of years. Is this necessary?

In the game, players don't have to think about this problem, because the game always has something to do.

But reality is different. When you personally travel to this world and know the truth of this world, it is really difficult to continue to make a difficult choice.

Will you vigorously challenge the evil god? Or will you choose to perish comfortably?

For Duanmuhuai, this is really a difficult choice.

Just when Duanmuhuai was thinking, he suddenly felt a heat on his cheeks. Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw Ogis staring at him.

"I don't know what the master is thinking...but I know that the master is helping me, so I also want to help the master. No matter what, I will be with the master."

"Thank you, Ogis."

Hearing Ojisi's answer, Duanmuhuai felt relieved, and then he closed his eyes again and entered his dream. Ojisi looked at the sleeping Duanmuhuai, thought for a moment, and then leaned into his arms.
