A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 886

Chapter 886: Chapter 623: Better to Come at the Right Time than to Come Early Chapter 886: Chapter 623: Better to Come at the Right Time than to Come Early It must be said, this was indeed a surprise to Duanmu Huai.

The so-called God-favored Knights, according to Imperial terms, are – those Psychics who have caught The Emperor's attention.

The saying “The Emperor cares for everyone, but there are always those who are more favored by Him” is used to describe these privileged individuals.

Of course, such attention isn't random; it generally belongs to those possessing strong Spiritual Energy, and thus they attract the attention of deities.

However, this isn't necessarily a good thing; if Duanmu Huai encountered a follower of an Evil God, he would definitely eliminate them immediately to prevent future problems. Similarly, a God-favored Knight like Amelia might also be targeted by other Evil Gods or Devils, making them more likely to either fall or be killed.

From this perspective, this world serves as a typical example of the success of the “Black Hole Project.”

Originally, Psychics were bound to be born into this world, and you can't stop their existence, just like you can't deny the existence of Evil Gods by ignoring them. When the Black Hole Project was launched, it considered the Psychic issue, which led to the second phase of the God Creating Project. Without the Indigenous Gods, considering Psychics' susceptibility to interference from Subspace, they would certainly become minions of an Evil God.

Therefore, it is necessary to create a multitude of deities to divert the worshippers among Psychics, whether they worship Indigenous Gods or other deities. In essence, as long as it is possible to divert those Psychics who might be attracted to the Evil God, it can somewhat slow the revival of the other side.

Places like Novice's Village and this world are typical; various deities abound, diverting many Psychics, so much so that when Evil Gods hold recruitment drives here, they find that most talents have already been monopolized by local enterprises…

Ah, that feels pretty comfortable.

Thinking about it, even the knights and guardsmen showed her great respect.

Duanmu Huai only remembered then that during the investigations in Neverwinter City that Amelia led, whether it was the patrolling knights or the guards, everyone greeted Amelia. At the time, Duanmu didn't think much of it, assuming it was due to Amelia's attractiveness making her popular. But reflecting on it now, it likely also had to do with Amelia's status as a God-favored Knight.

If that was the case, the purpose of Eribeth assigning Amelia to lead the investigation team seemed quite strange.

Initially, Duanmu Huai was rather dismissive of Amelia and Luganis, seeing them as nothing more than inexperienced young girls, probably assigned a trivial task by Eribeth to keep them out of trouble, which thus linked them with him. In other words, he felt like he was made into a babysitter.

But such a notion clearly doesn't hold water now unless Eribeth is a mole. Otherwise, why would she possibly drag her own God-favored Knight through the mud?

Wasn't she afraid that Tyler might strike her down with a bolt of lightning?

Or perhaps this was a trial for the God-favored Knight?

Well, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

But speaking of which…

“You really shouldn't rush forward like that,”
Duanmu Huai grabbed Amelia's shoulder and pulled her back.

“But, but this place…”

“The contamination from the Corrupted Foil isn't so easily removed, and you don't have much power left, do you?”

Indeed, although Amelia could make the overgrowth retreat wherever her radiance shone, much of it relied on her own Spiritual Energy. Even though the followers here were just some weak Corrupted Foil devotees, Amelia's approach was somewhat detrimental to herself.

It was okay to fight like this for a short time, but if it turned into a long-term battle, it would be a different story.

“Huff… huff…”
As expected, at the moment, Amelia was panting heavily, sweating profusely.

“But, but the evil here isn't completely purified yet…”
“Purify my ass, keeping it around is just asking for trouble. Burn it all down and be done!”

As he said this, Duanmu Huai lifted his War Hammer and smashed it down fiercely, the black flames spreading instantly and engulfing everything around in a raging inferno. These black flames, seemingly conscious, avoided Duanmu and the others, merely consuming everything they touched on their own.

“These monsters seem very afraid of Mr. Duanmu's flames?”

Amelia had noticed this, the Plague Mutants showed clearly more fear towards Duanmu Huai's flames than her own Holy Light. Although she didn't feel any evil from these black flames, the aura they brought was indeed somewhat uncomfortable for her.

“It's normal, because this is their natural predator.”

Upon hearing Amelia's query, Duanmu Huai revealed a ferocious smile. The Corrupted Foil is the God of Life, while Black Flame is Predetermined Death, the ultimate end of death for all things. The two are completely opposed, so it's natural for the Corrupted Foil to instinctively fear Duanmu Huai's Black Flame. Of course–Duanmu would not let these damned Heretical Bastards off out of pity.

Compared to the front lines with Amelia and Duanmu Huai, Ogis and Luganis in the back appeared somewhat relaxed, but while Ogis genuinely relaxed, she even held a book in one hand, reading while she walked. At the same time, her left fingertips trembled slightly, and the scattered invisible threads encircled everything, finely slicing anything that dared to obstruct her.
