The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 592 - Lawless Civilization

Kerry submitted her application for annual leave. When her supervisor, Feng Shiren, heard her request, he almost slammed his desk in anger.

He grumbled that youngsters these days were too finicky. She had just been hired a few days ago and was already applying for a long leave. Did she think they hired her for fun?

As he was about to give her a warning and reject her application, Kerry hastily explained that she was heading to the Lawless Civilization with a student named Han Wu.

Feng Shiren’s anger abruptly dissipated, attitude turning almost gleeful. “Oh, you’re heading out with Han Wu? Sure! Teaching students is a core part of being a lecturer. Here, we’ll give you 100 Divine Essence so you can go and purchase the necessary items for the excursion.”

Kerry took the card containing 100 Divine Essence and left the office feeling bewildered. Regardless, her time off had been approved.

Han Wu had also independently prepared for the excursion. As the place they were headed to was a sealed civilization with scrambled signals and a lack of elemental energy, he decided to bring Akanzor and Bart with him.

The two Earthsunder life forms stood at the peak of their grade. They had once been humans, but after using the Angel Elixir, they became angels, though their many pairs of wings technically marked them as mutated ones. Nevertheless, they made for formidable guards.

The condensation of their powers in the Heaven Stair Civilization had also made them significantly stronger than their peers. Thus, Han Wu was confident enough in their strength to bring them with him.

For ease of travel, Han Wu ordered the Epistians in his divine realm to cast a mystic art that turned their wings invisible. With their wings hidden, the two looked like two handsome young men.

Han Wu and the pair waited at the meeting point. Kerry soon appeared with an entourage of four automatons as her guards. Perhaps it was for aesthetics, or simply a matter of personal interest, but all four of her automatons were modeled after gorgeous ladies with white jade-like skin, long legs, and alluring faces.

While Han Wu was casting glances at her guards, she did the same with him. The condensation of powers in the Heaven Stair Civilization meant that Bart and Akanzor had the presence of Sage life forms. Kerry couldn’t help but admire Han Wu for having Sage life forms at his age.

“Han Wu, your units are very strong,” she praised.

At the same time, Han Wu had gauged the strength of Kerry’s automatons at roughly Earthsunder rank. It wasn’t bad for a Major God like Kerry, but in Han Wu’s eyes, it was merely average. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Still, he decided not to burst her bubble. “Ms. Kerry, your automatons are powerful too.”

“My Black Rose Squad is indeed powerful.” Kerry laughed cheerfully. “I’ll blow your mind when we have to fight later.”

Han Wu nodded. The sealed space of the Lawless Civilization meant they couldn’t teleport directly in. Unfortunately, there was no ticket to transport them there either. They had to go through several stations, make numerous transfers, and even make a two-day trek to reach the outskirts of the civilization.

The Lawless Civilization was enclosed in an incomparably tough barrier that even World life forms couldn’t destroy. As Han Wu examined the barrier, he had a feeling that someone at the Subcosm rank could break it.

However, World life forms were already considered overlords within the range of known civilizations, let alone someone at the Subcosm rank. Han Wu only knew of one person at that rank: the God King of Death.

They couldn’t enter directly. Fortunately, Kerry already had a plan. She brought him along the perimeter of the barrier until they found a narrow slit. Then, pulling a letter from her backpack, she tossed it inside the slit.

When Han Wu asked her what was inside, she grinned cheekily. “It’s a secret!”

The slit soon widened slightly to reveal a pair of eyes. The person inside eyed Kerry and Han Wu carefully. After confirming that the number of people was correct, they instructed, “Step back a little.”

Han Wu did so. The sound of mechanical locks unlocking and the hiss of escaping steam filled the air. Suddenly, a small gate opened up where the slit had been, revealing a corridor so narrow they would have to go single file.

Kerry patted Han Wu’s shoulder. “Come on. Time to head in.”

Han Wu nodded and followed her lead, with Bart and Akanzor trailing after. Behind the gate stood a fat old man with a mechanical leg and eye.

The man looked them over as they passed, nodding at Kerry’s two revolvers and four automatons. He then examined the unarmed Han Wu, the bow-wielding Bart, and the greatsword sheathed at Akanzor’s side. Shaking his head, he quietly scoffed. The three of them wouldn’t survive past the third day here.

“Get in. Let’s hope you guys get to leave this place alive,” the old man grumbled. They then started walking deeper until they reached the Lawless Civilization proper. Han Wu inspected the surroundings as they walked the streets.

The buildings on both sides of the street were short and dilapidated. Their designs were vaguely reminiscent of modern-day Syria. Marks of damage and destruction around the area seemed to indicate frequent fights.

The people wore rags, but strangely, almost all of them had at least one or two mechanical objects. Han Wu’s clean clothes were visibly out of place among them, and he could already sense the glares of several strangers boring into him.

Kerry and her automatons, on the other hand, didn’t appear to be attracting much attention at all. He had a feeling that he was being looked down upon for not having anything mechanical on him.

Do they think of the bow, arrow, and greatsword as mere accessories? he mused.

At least ten people were targeting him within a hundred-meter radius. They were treating him, Bart, and Akanzor like sheep among wolves.

A man hiding in the corner of the street lunged out. He raised his mechanical arm equipped with a 20mm gun barrel at Han Wu and fired a massive bullet. “Kill him and take his items!”

That single gunshot triggered a cascade of actions. The others that had been targeting the trio started shooting as well.

Bart and Akanzor were furious. “You dare show disrespect to our God? You shall die!”

Akanzor swung his greatsword to block the incoming bullets while Bart fired off numerous arrows to kill the shooters.

Han Wu approached the man with the mechanical gun arm, gripping his neck and raising him high in the air. “Does that mean your things are mine if I kill you? Interesting rule.”

Tightening his grip, he snapped the man’s neck. Just to be safe, he even tore the head off before tossing it away. The man was undeniably dead.
