บท 132: Wandering
Time: [Unknown]
Location: [Unknown]
POV: Kyle's
I've spent the last few days wandering the road leading North from the village, no signs were present, I just continued my trek through the endless plains and forests, using the 7 TUs I gained from killing those so-called 'Paladins' I bought an adaptive cloak to cover me, it is able to change colour and become invisible without using any energy, while I also checked the system for a power implant, sadly I will need to spend countless TUs for additional equipment to install it, although attractive it did state it was present in the current timeline.
After spending another 5 months on the road did I finally see a sign pointing towards a city, whilst walking towards the city I passed numerous trade caravans, but when I passed a certain caravan protected by elite cultivators did I discover something, what I would call, outrageous.
Hundreds of human slaves were strawn upon carriages, bound by tens of shackles, I scanned them all with my eyes, showing their cultivation, many already reached the peak of the heaven boundary while the leader was of the Immortal stage Void boundary.
Their heads were hung low as they accepted their fate, although I wanted to act I was unable to do so, as this would put me on the radar of my enemies.
I wandered the roads towards the city, the heavy atmosphere of this world ever present, people getting abused, the weak taken by the strong, expoited, not able to take fate in their own hands. I looked back at my old world before I was transported to Germany. A world where a constant battle exists between the workers and the corporations, but that was a place both could stand on equal footing, here, however, they could not, they could only watch and see their lives get ruined.
After another 2 months did I finally reach the city, and it was massive, more than 10 times the size of New York City. I walked towards the gate, using my mask to change to a face of the Half humanoid, half lion type being. ''Halt. What is your business in the city of Vengeance?'' A guard stated as he pulled me out of the queue. I just opened my scarf lightly and activated part of my armour, red lines forming on my mask, ''That is none of your business.'' I answered in a raspy voice before walking away. The guard just stood there terrified, looking at my back which slowly disappeared in the crowd.
Advancing through the crowd I noticed my clothing attracted a lot of attention, I just looked at the people annoyed, soon I entered a back alley Inn to gather information, what I forgot was to deactivate my partial armour making my scarf look like it was straight from a horror movie. I sat down whilst looking over the people in the bar, my eye scanning everyone, what took me by surprise was men sitting in one of the corners which already reached the middle level of the heaven boundary, he was warily watching around him and when he saw my eyes lock upon me he instantly looked at me with a piercing glance.
I shrugged it off before asking for something to drink, not knowing what any of these drinks were I asked them to surprise me, luckily the mask can translate the language from my world easily into theirs. I peaked my ears when I heard something surprising, from 2 men whispering, ''Have you heard it yet? They found a new Holy Pope through the Crucifix, but they say he is... Human...''

I gathered the Qi through the cultivation manual while the woman instructed at me, whipping me when I did something wrong, ''Who is your lord!'' The woman said to me as she whipped my back, ''The dark lord!'' I recited the slogan, she nodded in satisfaction, ''We are his servants, we are to do his bidding!'' She continued, ''After you are finished come to my room, I have your first mission for you.'' She said as she left the training room, I just continued cultivating in peace, finding it very easy compared to my other trainee counterparts.
I stood up and walked through the dark hallways, using the tiny bits of light to navigate through them, when I finally arrived at the room, I knocked before entering, she was in her walk-in closet changing, when she walked out she wore lingerie, most of her dark blue skin was visible, I didn't even bat an eye to it, my personality and training caused all emotions besides the urge for loyalty to remain.
''There is a target in the City of Hope, a new Priest has entered service, your job is to eliminate him and his lackeys. If so... I'll reward you handsomely... She said flirtingly,'' I need 10 High-grade magic stones for cultivation, her face turned sour as she heard this, ''That's fine, just get on with it, don't you know it is inappropriate for men to stand in the presence of an almost naked woman!'' She shouted angrily, as her attempt to woo him failed. But what she didn't notice was that the word loyalty kept swirling in his head, soon causing his mind to almost split due to a massive clash between two sides.

''OH HOLY LORD PRAISE US! YOU HAVE LOOKED UPON OUR POOR LAND AND GIFTED US WITH A NEW PROPHET!'' A man in white robes with 1000 followers behind him chanted, 'Where am I?' I asked myself before screaming in pain, ''THE POPE HAS AWAKENED! HEAL HIM CHILDREN OF LIGHT!'' The man shouted, after which 10 people, 5 men and 5 women, completely covered in white/golden robes with white mask started to cast something weird. The pain quickly elevated as my body started to regenerate at a visible rate.
บท 133: Assasination

POV: [Unknown]
I was lurking in the shadows of the massive Cathedral as a priest walks in hurriedly, ''Quick! We need to go to the City of Light! The new Pope has been found! We cannot lack behind and fall out of favour with the Pope!'' The priest said frantically to his followers as he gathered high-quality Magic crystals and artefacts.
I jumped down on the red carpet, both daggers firm in my hands, ''Hello Mr Priest, can I maybe help you?'' I asked sarcastically.
''GUARDS!'' The priest shouted as he ran towards the exit, ''You will not escape today my friend...'' I whispered as I reappeared right behind him. ''Die.'' I stabbed my daggers into his body, but no matter how hard I stabbed he just didn't die, holy light descended from above as it wrapped the priest in a protective layer. One hundred heavily armoured paladins come rushing in, these, however, have the air of professionals around them.
I looked around seeing the encirclement, ''Shadow of Death...'' I whispered softly, loud chatter broke out as a large black hand formed behind me grabbing towards the priest, completely ignoring the paladins, ''LIGHT OF THE POPE!'' Sounded as the priest pulled out his artefact, the hand was stopped and disintegrated as the light touched it. The paladins at the same time launched attacks against their opponent, ''God between heavens and hell...'' I whispered again, immediately I turned Ethereal their attacks landed on the ground as I flitted between them, soon I disappeared into a wall.
''I must wait...'' I said to myself softly as I retreated fully into the shadows.

I waited until the 2 who were talking left the Inn, after which I followed them, pulling out my crossbow hiding it beneath my cloak, I aimed at the man who listened and fired at his head, the bolt penetrated him thoroughly falling to the ground, they both had only a cultivation of Earthly Core, stage 5, which although was high in the commoner's eyes, it was nothing to most cultivators.
The other man was quick to react and launched a knife towards me. I didn't even bother with it, the armour was already activated, not even making a dent in it.
The man stared in horror at me as I looked like a demon from hell, ''Please! Please spare me!'' I grabbed the man by the throat, ''Tell me everything you know about the new pope...'' I growled while throwing him against the wall.
''A few days ago a blinding white light appeared above the holy land, after which a body appeared out of it, almost being completely destroyed the stand-in Pope immediately ordered him to be taken care of by the Cardinals, today should be the awakening of the pope, but... he is human! Who can let those disgusting creature...s...'' Before he could finish his sentence I already detached his head from his body. 'I don't need you to insult my race...' I looked at his corpse before advancing through the city. I deactivated my armour as I entered the main street.
'I might be here for a while, I need money to survive...' I analysed, I walked past a few shops trying to find some mercenary work. Finally, in the centre of the town, there was a notice board, on it was what seems like news, contracts, bounties, orders from the mayor and some general notes. I quickly scanned over it, but found out I couldn't read most of it! I just grabbed a passerby and ask what the highest paying job was on that board. But I just had to grab a woman, who by the looks of it, is very powerful, clad in full plated armour and wearing a massive two-handed sword she looked down upon me. Seeing no Qi fluctuations she was immediately outraged, ''WHO DARES TO THIS NOBLE WOMAN!'' She shouted while grabbing her sword. ''Shut up!'' I roared, very annoyed by her.
She was stupified, having never been spoken against like that, but then something snapped in her brain as she swung her two-handed sword down in one fell swoop, 'Automatic defence system activated, positioning the body to best receive the impact, reinforcing the palm area, re-routing energy towards the arms and back!' My processor sounded.
''BAM!'' The sword making contact with my armour and cybernetic arm produced an ear-destroying sound, the floor cracked under my feet while the many servos in the elbow and wrist were going into overdrive to keep up with the pressure, 'Impossible! My defence is ranked at 3.1.5, Immortal corse stage 5! almost the peak!' It was then that I noticed I am in big trouble.
I acted quickly to relieve my right arm from the stress-bearing down upon it, using my free left arm I changed it into a piston with a spear at the end of it. Slamming the spear into her side while activating the piston. The spear entered her soft tissue on the side while starting to drill, she quickly reacted and jumped backwards, not reacting someone without any Qi to be able to hurt her. She quickly scanned me again with her senses and then she finally noticed that I was at Immortal Core, stage 3. 'Thanks to tapping into her Qi I was able to replicate it, but that is the reason it seems that she was able to force my one arm under so much stress.
''SURROUND THAT SCOUNDREL! SHE DARES HURT THIS KINGDOM'S PRINCESS!'' Someone shouted, after which I turned around to see an army marching through the main street, a massive carriage in the middle of it, pulled by what seems like 8 horses, but were way too big for that. My cybernetic eyes' iris contracted. 'Who is bothering me at this stage!' I was thoroughly enraged, but my mind became as calm as water the next second. I just smiled, something I have not done since the train accident back in Germany. I activated my armour slowly but steadily, red lines streaking over my clothing as if a hand was grabbing me. Everyone stood in horror as even my face was engulfed. My voice was made deeper, ''Today you will be punished for your sins...''

''ALL RISE FOR HIS HOLINESS!'' The bishops chanted in unison, I just awoke from this terrible dream, ''WHERE IS THE MARSHALL!'' I suddenly exclaimed, the priests all stopped chanting when they heard my shouting while I try to stand up. ''Holiness, please don't stand up too quickly, you were wounded after being sent from the heavens, your battle against evil must have been frightening!'' The fall-in Pope which now is a Bishop again worriedly came to my aid as I tried to stand up under the heavy clothing.
I tried to speak to him again when suddenly a shriek came from outside, ''THE HUNTERS ARE HERE!'' one of the Paladins shouted.
