"Arrest this deceitful heretic!"

The Black Robed Priest looked coldly at Lord Cyber, ordering the Judgement Knights.

The eyes of the impoverished crowd changed, and they immediately began to stir.

Led by an old man who was once a professional, many people actively shielded Cyber, glaring angrily at the Judgement Knights entering the church.

Simultaneously, curses could be faintly heard:

"Bah! Lapdogs of the Eternal Church!"

Seeing the actions of the impoverished, Cyber was slightly taken aback, feeling an indescribable, inexplicable sensation in his heart.

He never expected that these impoverished people, most of whom were not even professionals, would stand in front of him at this moment!

At that moment, a weak voice came from behind Cyber:

"Lord Cyber, come with me, the Eternal Church is arresting the life believers spreading teachings everywhere. I know there’s a secret path behind the church, follow me quickly and escape through the back door!"

It was a frail young boy.

Hiding his fear, he bravely tugged at Cyber’s clothes, pointing to the back of the church.

Cyber’s gaze became more complicated.

Looking around at the impoverished, he found many were signaling him to escape, and they once again moved their bodies to shield him.

"Humph, obstructing the church’s enforcers, arrest them all! Rebels... kill on the spot!"

Seeing the small movements of the impoverished, the Black Robed Priest’s gaze darkened as he spoke chillingly.

The turmoil in the crowd grew larger.

Simultaneously, the Judgement Knights drew their longswords, pointing the blades directly at the impoverished shielding Cyber.

They showed no expression, their momentum was overwhelming, and as their aura exploded, even Cyber’s pupils contracted.

These Judgement Knights... were all Gold Professionals!

The impoverished looked fearful, yet none walked away.

The Black Robed Priest’s face turned uglier.

He issued a command to the Judgement Knights to act, but just as they took a step, a powerful voice came from the crowd:

"Wait!"

It was Cyber.

Ignoring the apprehensive expressions of the impoverished, he gently pushed their hands aside and walked out of the crowd.

His expression was calm:

"I’ll go with you, don’t harm the civilians."

"Lord Cyber!"

The impoverished exclaimed in surprise.

However, Cyber just raised his hand to stop them:

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

Speaking, he turned to the crowd with a slight smile:

"Everyone, don’t act rashly, always remember, as long as there is light in our hearts, there is hope for the future."

After finishing, he stretched his hands to the Judgement Knights, surrendering.

"Bind him!"

The Black Robed Priest commanded.

The Judgement Knights swarmed, binding Cyber with Magic Prohibition Chains.

"Lord Cyber!"

The impoverished behind him stirred again.

Cyber turned back, smiling slightly at them, shaking his head.

"Take him away!"

The Black Robed Priest waved his hand.

As his words ended, the Judgement Knights rudely lifted Cyber’s arms, leading him out...

Taken out of the impoverished district by the Judgement Knights, Cyber was further bound with a long iron chain.

Though it was daytime, there were few people on the city’s streets, only the silver-armored Judgement Knights and Eternal Priests searching back and forth for something.

From time to time, one could hear cursed battle cries, children’s cries, and women’s screams.

In the distance, similar figures bound like him could also be seen.

They were also escorted by the Judgement Knights, exchanging glances with Cyber.

They looked at one another, soon spotting the shiny green names above each other’s heads.

Cyber:...

He instantly understood, it seemed the Eternal Church finally couldn’t tolerate their incitement within the Human Empire, starting a large-scale roundup in the city.

Soon, players spreading teachings throughout the city were arrested and chained.

They were pushed roughly by the Judgement Knights and escorted to the city square.

Throughout the process, few players resisted.

Including Cyber.

No choice, the enemy’s strength was formidable, with Cyber’s power, escape was impossible.

And if a fight broke out, it would inevitably affect the impoverished.

Most impoverished in the district had become life believers; as the Goddess’s Chosen One, he had the responsibility and duty to protect them...

Being captured means nothing, at worst one could die, only to become a hero a minute later.

Perhaps, martyrdom might even garner more enthusiastic followers...

Uh...

Thinking like that, he seemed a bit shameless.

Recalling the worried looks of the impoverished, Cyber felt a twinge of guilt.

However, from the expressions of other players, he suspected they probably felt the same...

A total of twenty or so captured players.

This was all the players spreading teachings in the city.

On the city square, fire stakes were already prepared.

Seeing the stakes, Cyber immediately knew what their fate was.

However, as he couldn’t help but glance at other players, he found that after a moment of dazed eyes, they quickly turned peculiar, then shifted to righteous heroism...

Many raised their heads proudly, with a majestic expression, like heroes facing death boldly.

Cyber:...

Damn.

This bunch of drama kings.

Cyber blushed, feeling the urge to cover his face, but quickly realized he was bound and unable to move.
