My Arms Can Turn into Blades

Chapter 559 - 48: Filthy Beggar (Part 2)

I guess the Celestial Punishment Weapon must have contributed a lot, right? Do you think you still have a chance? Just relying on yourselves? It’s not that I look down on you, although the empowerers from Ise Jingu and the Mujin New Church are indeed not as strong as you at the same level, but can your ’Self’ rally so much advanced combat power in such a short time? Even if you can gather so much advanced combat power, would you have a chance of winning if it were you?

The answer is definitely no.

So give up, although I don’t like you faithless ones, I might even say I detest you, but my target is not you. I’m not interested in you unbelievers at all.

You want to become faithless, you want to leave the embrace of the Lord, you want to shirk your innate responsibilities, then I can completely let go, I might even help you, but will the Celestial Strategy Mansion let go?

Think about it carefully, who is really your ally."

Even though Hecate didn’t really know what was happening on the East Coast over there, she heard the horse-faced man mention it a few times.

Yet when she spoke, she showed no sign of guilt.

As if the mass extinction of the troops was well within her expectations.

The horse-faced man’s expression was uncertain.

"My patience is limited."

Hecate finally glanced at the horse-faced man, and firmly threw down a sentence: "I await your response... If you still can’t make up your mind, I don’t mind showing you our real sincerity, but by then, it won’t be under these conditions."

With that said, she turned around directly.

As she turned around.

The elderly woman suddenly froze in place, after a brief moment of confusion, she turned her head back to look at the horse-faced man, and said coldly, "Did my body get borrowed again? What exactly is that Authority Ability?"

"..."

The horse-faced man didn’t answer, somewhat lost in thought, still contemplating what Hecate had just said.

No matter what he thought now, he had grown up receiving a normal compulsory education, to a large extent, he indeed had the concept of ’family, nation, and world’ as Hecate had said.

He was disdainful, or more accurately... unwilling to betray his country.

No matter the internal issues, no matter how his Self raged, he could convince himself to clash head-on with the Celestial Strategy Mansion, wanting to break free from restrictions, shirk innate responsibilities, and gain freedom.

This was a necessary price.

The unreasonable restrictions of ’Yellow Springs Mainstream’, this ’stern mother’, and the existence of the Celestial Strategy Mansion itself as a mistake, they are not qualified, domestically they shouldn’t be so severely controlling the empowerers, the ancient system should be restored, allowing empowerers to truly step onto the stage, and then abide by the jungle law.

If asked to voice reasons like that, he would have many.

However.

Should he assist Hecate, a clearly hostile church figure entering domestically, then it would be a different matter.

With a presence like Hecate, she evidently can’t forcefully break into another country, after all, not everyone can be like Xia Yue, with an overt Authority Ability that is not only prevalent in practically every civilization as Heracles, but also possessing extremely idealistic hidden abilities, able to grip a handful of sand and dare to forcefully cross any national border, the stronger the Authority Ability of most empowerers, the more restrictions they face.

Especially those possessing Authority Abilities with extremely strong regional characteristics, like the Russian Orthodox Church’s Catherine.

This is also why Hecate wants ’Self’ to assist her, she wants ’Self’ to become her stepping stone.

Of course, the benefits of having internal support, not just as a stepping stone for her to access other countries... there are many things that could be done.

The Church can’t possibly abandon the Celestial Punishment Weapon, especially after witnessing firsthand the entire hinterland church of the nominally ’same-source brother’ Russian Orthodox Church wiped out by the Celestial Punishment Weapon.

Although it hasn’t shown yet.

But the Roman Catholic side is sure that if this weapon can be mass-produced... it would significantly change the entire empowerer ecosystem, even causing an upheaval in the existing order.

But the problem is, this weapon isn’t in the hands of the Roman Catholic Church, meaning the reformer rights of the order aren’t in their hands, which for the currently rapidly expanding Roman Catholic Church, ambitious and capable of realizing ambitions, is unacceptable.

They desperately need to find out the details of the Celestial Punishment Weapon, to obtain the Celestial Punishment Weapon!

And to achieve this, facing the world’s largest empowerer organization the Celestial Strategy Mansion, they need a pawn within the country that is significant, suitable for support and cooperation.

The most suitable target is precisely the ’Self’, which binds many domestic opposing forces, and temporally connects with many empowerers seeking immortality from the old times.

Hecate needs to win them over.

But for ’Self’, or more accurately for the horse-faced man, this decision isn’t so easy.

Still the same sentence.

No matter what the horse-faced man thinks now, he was raised receiving a normal compulsory education.

If possible, he truly doesn’t want to be a traitor.

Because it has nothing to do with noble goals... once it is done, it completely nails him to the pillar of shame, at least his values tell him this is disgraceful.

But Hecate’s words just now... did give him some other enlightenment.

"Is that also... a shackle?"

The horse-faced man raised his hand, looked at his palm, his face constantly changing.

On the other side.

The awakened elderly woman looked at the horse-faced man, who was muttering to himself, and was about to say something more.
