Chapter 119: America's Split Plan and the Thousand Mile Chase

Thousands of kilometers southwest of Pollocksville, Lynchburg.

This was the material supply point for the Southern Confederate Army during the American Civil War, an important strategic location during the Civil War, and also the place where the armistice agreement was signed during the Civil War.

The dark wizard Moloch Scylla arrives riding a giant bat called Nightwing.

After capturing a group of Smurfs in an abandoned market in Orlando, he sensed that his base camp had been robbed and the God-stealing array he left in Jacksonville had been destroyed, so he rushed back overnight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, he found that the power of the evil god that he had drawn out from the other world to steal had been completely destroyed, and the god-stealing formation was not simply destroyed, but it had destroyed itself after its function was fulfilled.

The Morlocks were furious because they had worked so hard to dig a nest for the fish, but in the end the fish was caught by someone else.

Although Luke carefully erased the clues of the material world, unfortunately, he had been in the extraordinary realm for too short a time, and especially his understanding of the inner world was too shallow, so he unconsciously left some unique auras of his own there.

Moloch found these remaining auras at the location of the original colonist castle in the other world, but before he could investigate further, the Lorenzo Security Company, which had originally treated him as a guest of honor, actually started an investigation into him.

When serving the security company, Moloch naturally used the power of the company to do many things that were not in line with ethical norms, legal norms, and even taboos in the supernatural realm.

For example, the secret human sacrifices, the backdoors in those positions that were exclusively for the company, the Indian Nights that were actually his work, and many other things.

Out of respect for the wizard, and because most of the security company's members were extremely illiterate like Luke, they had not discovered what Moloch had done.

But Luke had already given the answer, and they checked it out with half belief and half doubt, and actually found many unreasonable things. Unable to prove his innocence, Moloch had no choice but to run away.

Fortunately, the security company still showed some mercy. Perhaps they were worried that forcing such a powerful dark wizard into a desperate situation would cause too many casualties, so they did not use too many people. Moloch suffered some injuries, but he still made his way out in the end.

After recuperating in the wilderness for a while, the angry Moloch thought again and again, and finally decided to ask his friends for help. He must find the bitch who stole the fruits of his labor.

Family members, who knows?
I worked hard to steal something from the evil god, but when I went out, I saw that it was taken away by others.

Luke's personal involvement in the game and the extreme confrontation between the two forces can certainly accelerate the effect of the God-stealing Array. Moloch can do the same and even better. But this is like a fruit that has been ripened with medicine. It is very useful to Luke, but for Moloch, this kind of ripening result is a bit tasteless.

In short, his heart is now full of hatred towards Luke.

Nightwing shuttled through the darkness, leaving almost no trace. It landed at the edge of the city, and after the dark wizard got off it, it flapped its wings slightly and flew into the sky again, hovering and waiting.

Not far ahead was the residence of the old friend, where there was a low-altitude flying ban magic circle. He came to ask his friend for help, not to provoke, so he was very polite and walked down early.

Nightwing's figure loomed in the starlight, like a ghost in the night.

Moloch straightened his clothes and stood at the edge of the jungle. He looked through the night at the residence surrounded by ancient trees in front of him.

This "friend" had a bad temper, especially after the defeat of the Confederacy in the Civil War, his personality became even more eccentric. If Moloch had not been furious and determined to locate Luke, he would have been very reluctant to come here.

Following the winding path through the deep jungle, Moloch cautiously moved toward the location he remembered.

Unexpectedly, the journey was smooth and peaceful. The imagined magic traps and dark monsters did not exist at all, and even a trap did not appear. It was so peaceful that it seemed as if this was just an ordinary hunter's cabin in the mountains.

But such calmness not only did not make Moloch feel relieved, but made him even more uneasy.

Abnormal! How abnormal!
Moloch became increasingly uneasy, and this anxiety reached its peak when he arrived at the residence of this "friend".

Because, he heard the hearty laughter coming from the wooden house just outside the door.

Damn, this werewolf must be crazy, the dark wizard thought.

After all, he had never heard Jonathan Wilder laugh like this in all the time he had known him, no matter what the occasion.

At this time, the dark wizard had already begun to back down. After all, it was just revenge. There was no need, really no need, to deal with a lunatic who might bite him at any time just for something that had already passed.

When facing Luke, he can vent his anger to his heart's content, but Jonathan is at the same level as him and has lived much longer than him. He doesn't know how many hidden abilities Jonathan has. It's better not to provoke him if possible.

Just as the dark wizard Moloch was about to leave and look for Luke's whereabouts through other channels, a voice suddenly came from the cabin.

"Who's outside? Come in."

Well, this is a dilemma.

Moloch thought about it. Although he was still a little injured, he was just afraid of the werewolf Jonathan's ability. After all, the two were only at the same level. He was not particularly afraid of the other party. At least even if a fight broke out, with his means, he would have no problem running away.

And it would be impolite to just leave at this time.

So, after hearing the invitation, he paused for a moment, then opened the door and walked into the room.

The interior of the cabin is a far cry from the dark jungle outside. A warm flame burns in the fireplace, and the flames jump, illuminating the entire room brightly and cozily. The walls are hung with colorful tapestries depicting ancient legends and battle scenes, each of which tells a story. There are several pieces of handmade wooden furniture in the room, including a sturdy wooden table and four intricately carved chairs.

There are people sitting on these four chairs.

Jonathan sat in the main seat, and three strangers were sitting on the other three chairs. At this time, the four of them all turned their eyes to Moloch.

"It's Moloch," the werewolf smiled and introduced to the other guests, "This is a friend of the Long Steps to Godhood. He is very powerful and may be able to join us."

to join you guys?

What the hell are you doing?

Could it be that the evil god representing werewolves has resurrected and started a cult?

His speculation did not last long. Before he could explain his intention, Jonathan had already started to win him over. "Hey, Moloch, have you read the recent news? This is a great opportunity. Join us. You have a bright future!"

ha?
The dark wizard seemed to be guessing a riddle.

During this period of time, he had been busy capturing the Smurfs and had no time to read the news, so he had no idea what this long-lived werewolf was talking about.

However, since the other party is in a stable mental state and needs help, we naturally have to cooperate with him.

He shook his head and said sincerely, "I was busy with other things some time ago and didn't pay attention to the news. What are you talking about?"

Jonathan fiddled with the phone in his hand for a few times. Although he was far away from ordinary humans, his residence was not far from the edge of the city, so the signal here was still quite good.

He found what he wanted from the media account and pushed the phone to Moloch.

The dark wizard picked it up and looked at it.

The news is simple: the Texas government publicly stated that it refused to implement the federal government's orders on illegal immigration and issued a notice accusing the federal government of violating the constitution. The Texas Guard stationed soldiers around the barbed wire fence on the Texas border and confronted the White House Guard, neither side giving in.

Among the 50 states in the United States, more than 25 Republican governors have clearly expressed their support for the Texas governor to confront the U.S. federal troops and use force to protect the Texas border.

The Texas government said that they would protect their territory and people at all costs and were even ready to go to war with the federal government. There were rumors that the Texas government would draft a new declaration of independence to fight the federal government and that the Lone Star Republic would become independent again.

ok~
No wonder Mr. Werewolf is so happy. He became depressed at first because the Confederacy he supported lost the Civil War. Now there are finally signs of another American Civil War. This is a chance to start a new game and make a comeback.

Moloch pushed the phone back, and Jonathan took it back and continued to incite: "Even if you are not interested in a retro American war of division, you can still feel the pressure of order on us."

"Although the extraordinary appear more and more frequently, the military, the National Guard, the church, and the demon hunter organization still firmly control the order of the material world. America is still too peaceful now. It is so peaceful that it cannot even accommodate our promotion."

"Only war, chaos, fighting, crazy slaughter, and endless bloodshed and sacrifice can allow us to eat without restraint and carry out the promotion ceremony more conveniently."

When the werewolf said this, Moloch was already moved.

After all, for a mere god-stealing ritual, he endured humiliation and went undercover in some shabby security company, working diligently for so many years, and still let a low-level thief reap the rewards.

If it were the chaotic environment of a hundred years ago, this kind of thing would happen there.

At that time, a strong man like him had to occupy large tracts of land and enslave tens of thousands of laborers.

Before he could reply, werewolf Jonathan continued speaking.

"Also, two of you have already cooperated with us in the Long Steps to Godhood. I think that in many rituals, this will have a good effect on promoting advancement by stirring up such a violent turmoil."

The Elder Steps of the Gods is a very loose organization. Even in a broad sense, Luke, who inherited the robin pendant, can be considered a member of the Elder Steps of the Gods.

To the organizers, no matter what your ideas or strengths are, as long as you hold the pendant, you will automatically be considered a companion. The goal of the Long Steps to Godhood organization is only one, which is to steal the power of the gods, to embark on the great cause of godhood, to hold high the throne of God, to ascend into the spiritual starry sky, and to become an immortal god.

"Okay, I'll join." Anyway, a big event like splitting up America and starting a civil war would require a lot of manpower. Moloch still knew that one more person would not make a big difference, and one less person would not make a big difference.

Moreover, the incident in Texas has become a hot topic in the news. Jonathan and his group's plan is no longer a conspiracy. It is an open conspiracy that is just taking advantage of the situation.

In this situation, as a fourth-level transcendent, if he participates a little in this trend and takes some small advantage, as long as he remains cautious, he will be relatively safe no matter which side he stands on.

After getting the dark wizard's promise, Jonathan smiled with satisfaction and began to ask the other party about his purpose.

Since Moloch had just joined the gang, he naturally wanted to enjoy some benefits first. He took out a transparent air bubble containing Luke's breath from the storage space and handed it to the werewolf.

"I want to find the whereabouts of this person. This is the scent of a shameless thief. He stole my treasure and ran away. I hope you can help me track him down."

When Moloch met the werewolf before, he knew that he had a unique skill of tracking souls thousands of miles away through their breath. This was a tracking technique he developed by combining the werewolf's bloodthirsty tracking instinct, some wizard-specific skills, and the derivative ability of his own extraordinary seeds.

The little bit of energy he had collected was enough to chase from Jacksonville to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Faced with a new recruit, Jonathan naturally couldn't be so stingy as not to even use his tracking skills. He took the bubble containing Luke's breath from the dark wizard's hand, put it next to his nose, and took a deep breath like a whale sucking water, directly collecting the breath into a special alienated organ in his nasal cavity.

He closed his eyes, and his mental power spread to the inner world, spreading in all directions along a strange frequency. The mental waves spread very quickly in the inner world. Before long, before the black wizard introduced himself to the other three guests, Jonathan sensed the same breath as the one in the bubble just now.

He opened his eyes, took out a crystal ball from the storage space, put the little finger of his right hand on his forehead, brought out a ball of shiny illusory matter, and put it into the crystal ball.

As the illusory flash of light entered, the crystal ball began to churn, and finally a small golden arrow appeared.

"Follow the direction of this arrow and you will find the person you want."

Based on the strength of the aura, he roughly sensed that it was just a second-level transcendent.

Is it considered extraordinary if it is less than the third level?

Moloch could be tricked by this kind of thing, is it really appropriate for me to recruit him into the gang?

But he still recognized the strength of the dark wizard.

"Go quickly and come back quickly, we still have a lot of things to do."

The werewolf throws the crystal ball to Moloch.
