In the Name of [God] × The Red-Haired Archbishop Enters the Human World
Blood stained the ground red.
Dozens of corpses, men and women, their heads severed... all decided in a single moment by the Sun-Earring Boy.
The longsword, wreathed in raging flames, pointed diagonally...
Frank Becky paused in his toy with the "Infinite" pistol, lit a cigarette, and squinted... He had just shielded Roy's [Circle] from his mind using "Stabilize" when it began to tremble again, revealing a trace of his inner thoughts.
"What a fast knife!"
Frank Becky killed an elite squad he had painstakingly assembled in the blink of an eye. He never expected that his random encounter with a fellow countryman would turn out to be such a tough opponent!
He immediately calmed down, took out a cigarette and tossed it over. "Friend, it's all a misunderstanding."
Frank Becky exhaled a smoke ring, seemingly indifferent to the deaths of his men, and forced a smile, saying, "We're all Abandoned People, you probably already know that after 'listening' around. It's not easy for us in this line of work, we're just trying to maintain a 'status'..."
He glanced meaningfully at Roy's hand and said, "As the saying goes, 'No fight, no friendship,' let's just consider it making friends, or even..."
Frank Becky paused, then opened his arms to Roy, saying, "Brother, you don't want to be ' Marking ' forever, do you? I just lost one of my men, and you're all alone. How about we cooperate? I happen to have some connections with Lord Benjamin of Maple Town; with his guarantee, perhaps we can remove the ' Marking ' from your hands..."
Roy: "I killed your men."
Frank Becky scoffed, "Useless trash dies, so what? The sun still rises every day, doesn't it?"
At that time, the sun was setting, and sunlight filtered through the giant forest, casting dappled patterns of light.
Frank Becky stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it aside casually. "If I, the boss, don't care, why should the brothers care?"
Roy remained silent... He wasn't concerned, just somewhat... sad...
The bodies of Nelson, Katie, Torre, Muto, Olivia, and others lay quietly before him. Transparent shadows emerged from their corpses, some roaring to the sky... some staring blankly... some hugging their knees and weeping... some gazing around with a profound longing at this familiar yet strange world. A moment later...
They all bowed to Roy, their hands clasped to their chests, and transformed into specks of light, forming streams of "Life Energy" that flowed into Roy's body...
In that instant, Roy realized that all these Undead were victims captured by the "4K Party" organization, led by the portly Abandoned People man before him, and handed over to the Storm Church... They were either hanged, offered as sacrifices to [Storm], burned alive, or used as fuel for the sadistic desires of some dark priests within the church...
Among them, Roy noticed a young girl who, because of her pretty appearance, was given a makeover that very night by Frank Becky's "beautician" and presented to the man he called Lord Benjamin. The next day, she was found in a trash can...
At that moment, the girl was completely naked, exposed to the sunlight. Her body was almost pierced from bottom to top, covered in bruises, like a rag doll to be discarded at any moment. Her eyes bulged out, looking at the world with resentment, as if questioning, or perhaps screaming...
"Little Mary," Roy murmured her name.
"Her..." Frank Becky smiled, "I remember her... She was lucky to be chosen by Lord Benjamin; her life wasn't wasted."
Frank Becky noticed Roy's indifferent gaze, took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, saying, "Don't look at me like that. In the eyes of those big shots, we Abandoned People are really less than dogs. If we're played to death, so be it. What can we do?"
Speaking from experience, he earnestly advised, "Brother, I completely understand your anger and frustration."
"But isn't it precisely because of anger and resentment that we must face reality seriously?"
"Only [identity], only [identity], can allow us to return to the embrace of [God] and be truly treated as [human beings]!"
Frank Becky looked calmly at Roy: "That's what I originally wanted to create the ' 4K Party '."
Roy remained silent. After Frank Becky finished speaking, he quietly smoked and waited.
After a moment, the Sun-Earring Boy nodded. "Okay."
Seeing this, Frank Becky laughed and said, "Brother, congratulations on making the right choice."
"Same to you... same to you..." Roy opened his arms to meet Frank Becky's outstretched hands in a hug.
Perhaps feeling that his sincerity wasn't enough, he Regenerated Arms from his ribs and immediately unleashed [Arm Regeneration], forming blades with his palms and stabbing two [Snake Awakening] strikes fiercely towards Frank Becky's back!
"Bang bang bang..."
Several gunshots rang out, followed by a few Nen Bullet, forcing Roy back... Frank Becky spat out his cigarette, pointed his gun at Roy, and said with a grim face, "You fucking betrayed me!"
"Ding... ding... ding..."
The Short Blade weapon reappeared, caught by Roy with one hand, and casually shattered the Nen Bullet with a few slashes. Looking at Frank Becky, the Sun-Earring Boy regarded him with indifference, as if looking at a dead man... "Don't put it so harshly, you betrayed yourself."
Sending "compatriots" on their way, surrendering to [the storm], their traitorous behavior is blatantly obvious... Roy lightly stroked his Short Blade with his fingers, recalling Little Mary's bright and beautiful face, stripped naked and thrown into the trash can, filled with despair, resentment, pain, and numbness...
He murmured softly, "Don't worry, I'll avenge you."
Then, a [God Spear] suddenly extended, breaking through the limitations of space, and pierced Frank Becky's heart, pinning him to a tall tree not far away!
Shoot, God Spear!
A hundred-meter-long knife is insignificant compared to a towering tree, but to Frank Becky, it hurt terribly!
Unfortunately, it's not physical pain, it's heartache...
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it." A chilling voice suddenly entered Roy's ears.
Frank Becky, pinned to the tree, tilted his head and fell silent... Roy frowned, sensing danger, and in a flash, he withdrew his Short Blade and slashed behind him without looking back!
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The Flying Slash was suddenly subjected to a continuous barrage of "cannon fire" and was instantly obliterated!
The smoke and dust cleared...
Roy turned around, and behind him, "Little" Frank Becky, who had somehow appeared behind him, whispered, "Battery, deploy!"
"Boom..."
The bunker gates opened, and a row of Mini Tank rolled out!
It swells in the wind, crushing shrubs...
The long cannon barrel, pointed directly at Roy, recklessly emitted plumes of gunpowder smoke.
The deep, dark entrance is so captivating that it seems to draw your gaze inside...
[Fortress]: Not only can it trap others inside, but it can also trap Frank Becky himself inside, so... the "big" Frank Becky who just breathed his last was nothing more than a "walled Nen Beast" he created using his Nen Ability!
The real him has always been hiding inside a mini [fortress]!
Quietly observing all of this...
Roy immediately understood and, through the circle, spotted Frank Becky, who was standing on a "Mini Armored Vehicle" arranging his troops. A swamp appeared beneath his feet, and as soon as he entered the ground, he moved like a fish into water, heading straight for Frank Becky behind the tank.
Frank Becky, cigarette dangling from his lips, gave a cold smile and, using the same [Circle] technique, aimed for Roy's position. In a flash, his eyes narrowed, and he drew his gun and fired!
With the blessing of the "God Script, the pistol in his hand was a Gatling gun spitting fire. Using the "radar" formed by the [circle], it located five meters in front of him and frantically poured out "bullets". At the same time, it drove the armored vehicle to fire and retreat at the same time, making enough space for the tank to fire a few shots!
The ground was blown apart, dirt flew everywhere, and in this apocalyptic scene, Roy was buried on the spot. One man could command an army; this man, relying on a [bunker] to contain weapons, was able to achieve the effect of a small-scale hot war. He was even more intelligent than the [One-Man Army] Botobai, in terms of "unmanned" and "integrated" capabilities. It must be admitted that...
He was able to form cliques and gain the support of Nelson, Katie, and others, which truly demonstrated his extraordinary abilities.
However, as Father said, battles between Nen user, excluding "targeted mechanics," ultimately come down to "numerical strength" and the Nen user's understanding of Transformation Transformation in the form and nature of their Nen Ability...
The amount of "energy" required to "command an entire army" and "manage a knife" are on completely different levels!
"Da da da..."
Faced with Frank Becky's overwhelming firepower, Roy didn't choose to take it head-on... Instead, he lingered underground, using the rock formations to shield himself from the shelling. He would occasionally manipulate the Magnetism to control his Short Blade, imbuing it with his Nen Qi, using it as a "target" to deceive Frank Becky and play guerrilla warfare with him... Gradually, Frank Becky began to pant and realized something was wrong!
This kid is as slippery as an eel; you can't catch him, you can't beat him, and if this continues...
The first one to give way will be... him!
In a flash, Frank Becky stopped firing indiscriminately, raised his hand to command the tanks and vehicles to stop simultaneously, maintaining their position while keeping the [circle] locked on Roy's location. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Bunker Transformation!"
"Click click click..."
Tanks and armored vehicles are disassembled, transformed, and reassembled, then fly in... In just an instant, a Steel Gundam with a propeller on its head is formed, with Frank Becky as the "drive core"!
"Boom!" Flames of "Nen Qi" shot out from the openings in the palms and soles of the feet...
The propellers overhead spun rapidly, shredding the air...
Frank Becky immediately took to the skies, soaring high into the air. After only two seconds of thought, realizing that Roy was a formidable opponent, he immediately changed his strategy—to run away!
Without uttering a single harsh word about abandoning the task, it tucked its tail between its legs and ran away at an astonishing speed!
"Buzz..." The roar of the machine faded into the distance.
The mudflats reappear on the surface, Roy appears, looking up at the sky, the sun still shines at the edge of the trees, the sunset reddens several times...
Watching the giant leap into the sky, turning into a black dot on the horizon, its left and right feet step into a lunge stance, its hand gripping the Short Blade, it uses the "Iai" stance, and at a certain moment, it draws its sword and slashes towards the sky!
[Gravity Blade - Rising Dragon!]
The Nen Qi magnetism... the Magnetism surged and spiraled upwards, reaching mid-air where it transformed into a giant purple dragon!
Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head a camel's, its eyes a rabbit's, its neck a snake's, its belly a clam's, its scales a fish's, its claws an eagle's, its paws a tiger's, and its ears a cow's... It roars with earth-shattering force!
Under Frank Becky's horrified gaze, he bit the Gundam and dragged it back to the ground!
"So heavy!"
"Get the hell out of my way!"
"Boom!" The "Nen Qi" flames reached their maximum intensity!
Frank Becky drove the Gundam to struggle wildly... The dragon and the Gundam were locked in a tug-of-war in mid-air... Then, a flash of cold light appeared!
Roy pushed off the ground with both feet, and like a cannonball, he shot into the sky!
It brushed past the Gundam, unleashing a "Wind Breathing - Fifth Form - Fifth Form: Cold Autumn Mountain Wind" technique, imbued with [Strong].
From below, it hit Frank Becky... but listen...
"Snap..." A few crisp sounds!
The Gundam was slashed 174 times in an instant and disintegrated on the spot!
"Swish... swish..." Countless parts fell like rain, revealing Frank Bay's body within...
The heavily pregnant Frank Becky felt a chill on his chest, instinctively reached down to touch it, and "plop!" his chest split open in an X shape, spurting out two streaks of blood...
"Ah--" A piercing scream rang out!
Having not felt pain for many Sun-Earring Boy, he was in excruciating agony. His collar was pulled up, and Roy grabbed him, sending him swirling down like a whirlwind, tossing him to the ground like a dead dog!
Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable... Rolling and tumbling, revealing his ugly side...
Roy watched coldly as Frank Becky slowly bled out of him... every now and then, he'd deliver a couple more stabs to make the bleeding come faster and more intense... He remained unmoved, no matter how much Frank Becky begged for mercy on his knees, clung to his legs and cried...
"I want to spare you, Little Mary won't, and neither will the Abandoned People of your kind you hunted and killed."
The Sun-Earring Boy kicked him to the ground, then crouched down, quietly watching him slowly lose consciousness, listening to his inner turmoil—despair, resentment, pain, and finally numbness—until it culminated in a hysterical scream, "Lord Benjamin, save me!"
"Bang!"
He stomped on his filthy, ugly, and wretched head, crushing it!
After standing quietly for a moment amidst the red and white mudflats, I received a timely notification from the control panel...
[Hint: Life Energy +57!]
57!
Roy felt a chill in his heart. These were his two lifetimes, and apart from his own sister who was killed by Molitonio and whose resentment had yielded fifty points of Life Energy... the most he could think of was Frank Becky!
What do you value life for?
A gust of wind blew, causing the "Hanafuda Earrings" to sway. Roy recalled Tsugikuni Yoriichi Muzan in that bamboo forest, his angry questioning of him... Silently watching as streams of Undead emerged from Frank Becky's headless corpse, suddenly, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he abruptly realized—
The Undead, who should have repaid his debt of revenge with "Life Energy," glared angrily at the figure to the side...
Suddenly, amidst the Undead, a blurry figure draped in a red robe appeared...
He chanted the name of [Storm], and a corner of his hat brim was lifted, revealing his face—it was... the Benjamin that Roy had seen deep within Frank Becky's heart through [Circle]!
"[Storm] Above, God-Slayer shall be punished!"
