Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 648: Fight! Fight!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At first, the situation was very straightforward for EO. There were only two outcomes. First, they could mediate the discussion between the large organizations and eventually benefit. Second, they would be destroyed by the large organizations and the winners would then distribute the mineral resources.

The day after Lu Shu tricked the large organizations, he received the latest news from the Heavenly Network. EO had made this decision not because Bennett was superior and brave, but because the Department of Faith Theory had prescribed a time limit for EO to give them the mineral resources. Bennett did not give in. He took a dangerous risk and invited 11 organizations in one go. In the worst case scenario, it would become a life and death struggle with the Department of Faith Theory.

Lu Shu’s doubts had been cleared. Bennett was not taking a huge gamble. Lu Shu felt that although Bennett could be considered an expert in the realm of cultivation, he was not powerful, nor did he brag that he was smart. One could even say that he was not particularly intelligent. So why was he taking such a risk?

So the Department of Faith Theory had been involved all along. Lu Shu had to protect himself.

To be honest, Lu Shu respected Bennett. Lu Shu felt that the realm of cultivation had now become a place where the weak were prey to the strong. The Department of Faith Theory, who had Class A’s, unscrupulously plundered resources, while Bennett, who was a Class B, could only use a potentially fatal method to protect himself.

But after spending so much time on this land, Bennett had not done many good deeds. The information that Lu Shu received indicated that the military training camp Bennett had initiated was to provide EO with new blood. But the people in the training camp were not recruited. Instead, they were forced to join.

They destroyed an entire village and took their children away. Lu Shu had heard of this before, but after reading the information provided, he felt that this was completely unethical.

Lu Shu silently ate a Chi Fruit in the villa. Now, the large organizations and EO were thrown into a state of chaos. It was not time for Lu Shu to make his move. He felt that the situation would be worsened if he did so.

But if the Heavenly Network could get a hold of this information, Howard most likely could as well.

Earlier, he had made the organizations falsely assume that Bennett had backing. How would the situation develop now?

That night, Lu Shu suddenly sensed a wave of energy from outside the villa. The frightening power from the wave of energy made Lu Shu realize that something major had occurred outside.

He jumped up to the rooftop of the villa. He suddenly saw a gigantic fire phoenix with fiery wings flying towards Francesco from the Department of Faith Theory. Flames occasionally dissipated from its wings, like feathers dropping. But these feathers were very dangerous. They did not dare to stand on their feet.

Their subordinates waited outside the battlefield and prevented anyone from launching a surprise attack.

Howard pointed his magnificent red staff at the sky. The fire phoenix turned from orange to a deep red. All the subordinates were sent flying by an explosion!

Francesco walked slowly, as if he had not been affected. When the fire phoenix appeared in front of him, he suddenly spread out his arms. A pure white light appeared in front of him and acted as a shield, keeping the fire phoenix out.

He calmly flew upwards, as if he was in a storm. He calmly said, “The light of a villain must be extinguished. His flame does not have to shine.”

Howard laughed coldly. “The Department of Faith Theory is such a sanctimonious organization. Since you have formed an alliance with Bennett, you must face the rage of the Phoenix Society.”

Francesco fell silent. He could not understand. Wasn’t Bennett’s backing the Phoenix Society? Why was the Phoenix Society so angry...

Francesco consciously realized that something was not right. They had all assumed that Bennett had the backing of a large organization, but was Bennett deliberately confusing them and putting up an act? So he had no backing in the first place?!

What was Bennett doing...

They may not believe this, but even Bennett himself did not know what he was doing...

But Francesco did not want Howard to know the truth. He could seize more benefits when there was information asymmetry.

Suddenly, Francesco drew his long sword from within his white cloak. The sword produced a silver light that shone towards the fire phoenix. The air was distorted because of this silver light.

The conflict between the two Class B experts was terrifying. The silver light engulfed the fire phoenix. Howard felt that it would be difficult for his fire phoenix to escape this bind.

He placed his staff on the floor and burst into raging flames. He leaped towards Francesco like a fiery poison snake.

Suddenly, a Class B earth element Metahuman who had been watching them suddenly attacked Howard. Francesco broke into a smile.

This time, 11 organizations had come. No one would seize the mineral resources by themselves. The alliances had already decided on their formation. They were just waiting for the actual battle!

Howard, who was vulnerable, was suddenly sent flying into the air by the soil underneath his feet. Howard was indeed very strong. When the ground underneath him rose, he had completely merged with the flames. The flames protected him!

However, his staff that he had left on the floor was sent flying outwards. The fire phoenix returned to its orange color and its strength had decreased considerably.

Francesco slowly folded his cloak and walked towards Howard. Suddenly, a massive stone flew over. Someone shouted, “Howard, we will work together to kill them?”

The massive stone flew past Francesco. Francesco suddenly recalled the hole in the EO headquartered caused by the small mountain...

For some reason, Francesco suddenly realized something. So Howard had destroyed the EO headquarters? Why would he do so?

Howard thought for a long time, but he could not understand why these reinforcements had come. Out of the 11 organizations, the Phoenix Society had allies as well, but this white person who attacked... he did not recognize them at all!

They probably wanted to borrow his power to pin down the Department of Faith Theory. After all, if anything happened to him here, the Department of Faith Theory would dominate the entire situation.

Howard knew that he was probably being used as a weapon by others. But he did not reject this, as he needed to give the Department of Faith Theory some pressure!

But that person did not run towards Francesco. Instead, his target was... Howard’s staff!

Suddenly, a silence descended on the battlefield. Everyone looked helplessly as the white person bent down and picked up Howard’s staff before running off...

“From Howard Miller’s distress, +999!”

What was happening? When Howard saw the figure running away, he became angry...
