Chapter 88 - 87: Tragic! Awakening Memories
Since Markel had abandoned his human body, choosing to transform himself into a cyborg with the Mechanical Heart, it was because he possessed unique advantages in this state.
He no longer resembled a human. His entire body was a shell of gleaming silver metal, strikingly similar to the Blue Demon. A mesmerizing, unconventional power core of liquid metal swirled within his chest.
"I’m so tired of being underestimated," Markel said. "Today, let’s have a true fight."
With that, he stomped his foot. The immense force not only crushed the stone tiles beneath him but also shattered the ground for a large area around him. He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that Chen Pingchuan could only catch a faint afterimage.
His opponent, the Blue Demon, seemed unable to keep up and could only swing its blade in a passive attempt to parry, barely defending against Markel’s onslaught. However, every one of Markel’s heavy punches contained tremendous power, each blow landing with an irresistible force that battered the Blue Demon into a constant retreat.
His figure flickered around the Blue Demon. The once-arrogant creature was now like a punching bag, beaten completely helpless.
Vivian, who had been standing unnoticed in a corner, scurried over to Monica’s side. She anxiously tugged at the woman’s arm, trying to get her to flee.
"Sister Monica, we have to go now! It’ll be too late if we wait! Follow me, we can escape through the secret passage."
Her words made it clear that she, too, knew of the secret passage. As a low-level logistics staffer for the Natural Church, she normally wouldn’t have access to such information. The reason she knew this secret was obvious: the woman in white before her must have told her. Their hidden relationship was far closer than anyone realized.
Monica met her heartfelt concern with a cold glare. She not only ignored Vivian’s suggestion but also gave her a forceful shove, causing the younger woman to stumble. This proved that even as an Archbishop with little strength, she was still several times stronger than Vivian.
"If you want to run, run by yourself. Don’t drag me with you. I am waiting for my God. He told me He would definitely return."
"When the Mechanical Legion blots out the sky and slaughters humanity, God’s Mecha will awaken. That day will be the day the Divine Spirit arrives. Then, God will lead his devout followers to escape this hell on earth."
