Chapter 660: Chapter 397: -2
For them, today is indeed a good day. It’s both the time for the ritual and the day for divine favor.
There’s even a possibility that this time, Lord God will grant extra favor to the Alben Family, giving more people the chance to enter the Praise Society.
This is another chance for their family to rise to prominence.
Xue Dili observed everything and understood as well, Faust had succeeded. This was a notification to prepare and ambush Mephisto at the Alben Family.
But, should the ambush really happen here?
Xue Dili looked at the entire family with so many people; if an Apostle battle were to occur here, it would at the very least lead to the family’s destruction, and the aftermath could cause significant losses to Yujin City.
Or does, to Faust, the lives of people in Yujin City not count?
Perhaps he guessed right. Faust truly didn’t consider the city’s people as lives anymore; perhaps he once had this thought, but now he is indistinguishable from a Demon.
After all, his initial plan was to annihilate his own kin along with the planet.
Xue Dili took a deep breath; he realized he now needed to protect those in the city who were worth protecting.
He immediately left the Alben Family and headed to the Xiao Organization’s meeting place, instructing the people brought to Yujin City to quickly evacuate everyone and head to Roland City.
Do it quickly; bring nothing, leave the city by the end of today.
And the members of the Xiao Organization didn’t hesitate, immediately taking all their developments over these days, along with any other children that could be saved.
At this moment, the members hiding underground in Yujin City completely moved. After the Alben Family allowed Xiao Organization’s development, their speed and member growth far exceeded the family’s expectations.
Because these were the lowest of society, the prostitutes, they lived on Flower Street and in the slums, surviving on leftovers and the gangs’ patronage.
And now, tens of thousands of people hurried to leave, and not through the main gates, but through the sewer exits.
These were the exits that the Xiao Organization members found in this period—huge spaces within Yujin City’s dense underground drainage system, with dozens of exits meant for flood discharge.
However, in the hands of Xiao Organization members, they could all become escape routes.
"Hurry, hurry, bring nothing; the leader will ensure supplies for everyone. There will be bread, and there will be water!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Leave the money behind, it’s useless!"
"Newcomers, quickly take the other kids and escape. Yujin City is about to be destroyed, and only by fleeing can you survive."
"That child, don’t carry that bag of rotten meat. We have bread, endless bread; scavenging rotten meat is too much trouble!" A squad leader from the Xiao Organization came to a child, speaking harshly from above.
"Are you carrying these scraps because you’re afraid we won’t give you bread on the way?" she angrily questioned.
In cases like this, they all "learned" Bread Technique, and carrying nothing was the most convenient way.
Anyone who wanted to carry money or their few belongings was stopped, but this little girl wouldn’t let go of the rotten meat no matter what.
"This is... my mom..." The little girl held the rotten meat tightly, seemingly unwilling to release her hold, no matter what was said.
At this moment, the Xiao Organization’s squad leader fell silent.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but couldn’t, watching as many members began fleeing through the network of underground pipes toward the outside, and then saw this stubborn little girl holding the rotten meat.
She silently said, "Then follow me..."
"Mm..."
She led another group quickly to the prearranged exit to flee.
In just half a day, the Xiao Organization took away tens of thousands of people and many more.
They looked toward the direction of the Alben Family, praying in their hearts.
"Leader, you must win!"
...
At this moment, the Alben Family arranged a grand setting. Even if it was hastily put together, they did their best within this time.
The entire family prepared to welcome Mephisto and their patriarch, with flowers and carpet stretching from the main family’s door to the main hall, spanning several kilometers.
At this time, the elders in the family were extremely excited, gazing at the distant sky with eager anticipation.
And soon, they got their wish; two figures holding hands gradually emerged in the distance—Patriarch Alben and their sole Lord God.
"Welcome, Lord God!" The Great Elder immediately spoke, kneeling on one knee.
"Welcome, Lord God!"
At this moment, everyone echoed these words, lowering their heads, waiting for the walk-by of Lord God.
Mephisto observed the scene and said, "There’s actually no need for this, whether now or in the past, we never liked this kind of situation."
At this moment, Mephisto wore male attire, with fashionable short hair and a monocle in the eye socket, his posture upright and firm.
If viewed from a distance, Xue Dili would instantly think Mephisto was Faust; their clothing and aura were too similar, Xue Dili even easily mistook her for Faust from the first meeting.
Only Mephisto appeared younger and somewhat more beautiful.
"I won’t require them to do this, but you know, for them, not doing this would feel uncomfortable." At this moment, "Harley Alben," whose soul was controlled by Faust like a puppet, said with a hint of helplessness.
"Let’s quickly finish this, then I kind of miss our school," Mephisto said.
"Alright, let’s visit the school then." Faust said this while promptly arranging for everyone at the former site of the Mysticism Academy to be cleared so they could visit later.
"Okay." Immediately, people from the Alben Family went to clear Flower Street. Over the centuries, the former Mysticism Academy had become a place for prostitutes and solicitation.
For this request, those from the Alben Family could only swallow their objections.
After all, they had managed it to this state, and now they needed to clean up the brothel-like chaos filled with prostitutes, bathtubs, and gang hideouts amidst all sorts of filth, with very limited time.
But they had no choice but to comply, cleaning thoroughly.
Xue Dili discreetly observed with peripheral vision the one about to confront them, the Twelfth Apostle, Mephisto.
He began comparing this figure with the quiet, enigmatic one hidden within the Mist Council.
They seemed identical; Xue Dili temporarily could confirm this was the Twelfth Apostle, albeit one belonging to the weakest Apostles, having only consumed a single fruit.
However, to this planet, he was also Earth’s proxy, and when wielding the planet’s authority, he could be omniscient and omnipotent in small areas.
But what puzzled Xue Dili more was another aspect.
"87, 69, 89... How could these be the measurements..." Xue Dili silently calculated this string of numbers in his heart.
Even though Mephisto wore a perfectly fitting suit, resembling a gentleman, Xue Dili’s "measurements identification eye," derived from Uncle Brave and the old Undead, instantly sensed something amiss.
Why were Mephisto’s measurements feminine?
Xue Dili didn’t dare scrutinize directly, but even with a sideways glance, he could see through everything.
The Divine Purification Demon Eye rotated within his pupils, yielding the same set of data once more, and though it was hard to believe, Xue Dili confirmed...
Mephisto was female!
No, that’s not right. According to Faust’s memories, Mephisto was definitely male...
Then there’s only one possibility: Gender Transformation Potion. Oh no, could it be World Consciousness!
