Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1370 - 567: News of the Dusk Church Bishop_2

Moving upwards, there’s only the Bishop, who is the founder of the Dusk Church. Zhao Yue’s status within the Dusk Church has reached its peak.

Yet Zhao Yue was clearly not content with staying beneath others; he was very interested in the position of the Bishop. Originally, he planned to kill the Bishop the next time he saw him, thus becoming the only boss of the Dusk Church.

But this heavy snow came too abruptly, and it hasn’t stopped even now; he and the Bishop have not been in contact for a long time.

Although with Zhao Yue’s current strength, he definitely wouldn’t freeze to death in the outside temperature, but the dangers outside were not limited to temperature alone, so he didn’t dare to stray too far from the base. According to him, the last time he contacted the Bishop, they were more than a thousand kilometers apart! Unless the snow stops, it would be very difficult for him to meet the Bishop.

This made Wang Tao very curious, how could the Bishop of the Dusk Church develop the church to this extent from such a great distance? That ability seemed a bit too formidable.

Zhao Yue said that they previously communicated via radio and he had never seen the true face of the Bishop; at that time, the Bishop was not so far away, and they could contact each other frequently. On the few occasions they met, the Bishop was fully masked, and he could only judge that the other party was male...

The Bishop is a nomad; he doesn’t stay in any one place, but constantly wanders among various Survivor Bases, spreading his Dusk Church.

Among the hierarchy of the Dusk Church, apart from the Bishop, the second in rank is the Master Sido. Every region or Survivor camp can have at most one Master Sido, with the only difference being that smaller bases may have Junior Priests, while larger bases have Senior Priests.

As long as the Bishop successfully develops a Master Sido, he would leave the area and go elsewhere to preach.

Of course, before he leaves, he would leave some resources for the Master Sido to develop and expand the Dusk Church.

Zhao Yue was previously well-performed and was left with a large amount of resources by the Bishop, and that’s how he successfully awakened.

After the Bishop left, he wouldn’t just ignore everything. He would occasionally contact Zhao Yue via radio to give him some tasks. Completing them would bring rewards, which would then be delivered to him.

This Bishop is like a moving treasure trove; he has all kinds of good stuff. Zhao Yue was previously very envious.

However, Zhao Yue is now at Level 6, and his only goal is Ascension to the Seventh Level. The goodies the Bishop showed off to him in the past are useless for his Ascension to the Seventh Level, so now Zhao Yue has lost interest in the Bishop’s treasures. He simply wants to kill the Bishop and become the big boss himself.

As for the actual strength of the Bishop, Zhao Yue is not very clear; he only knows that the Bishop is an Awakener. However, he firmly believes that the current Bishop is definitely not as strong as he is since he’s already ascended to Level 6. He thinks the Bishop is at most Level 5, maybe even Level 4... The Bishop’s strength lies not in fighting power, but in brainwashing ability.

Even he himself was nearly brainwashed by the Bishop. If it weren’t for the encounter with the Summoning Altar and a being with even stronger brainwashing powers, he might still be trying to grow and strengthen the Dusk Church now.

Being brainwashed by both the Bishop and the Light God actually made Zhao Yue somewhat lucid, causing him to have some trust in both, but not complete trust... In some sense, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he wasn’t completely controlled by either of them.

"This Bishop is somewhat formidable..."

Wang Tao and the two women exchanged a look, both could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

If it wasn’t for Golden Eagle, which can fly, Wang Tao wouldn’t dare to venture too far from the base. If he encountered danger near the base, he could still run back. If he faced insurmountable danger far from the base, then he might as well consider himself half-buried in the ground.

And this Bishop not only wanders in the wilderness but also lures so many to become believers of the Dusk Church. His ability is truly awe-inspiring.

And according to what Zhao Yue said, this Bishop is very dedicated; other than preaching, he has no interest in anything else.

If it were someone else who had developed so many followers, they’d surely indulge in the feeling of superiority, right?

Even the self-disciplined Zhao Yue, after gaining more strength, did many things he wanted to but previously didn’t dare to.

But this Bishop is different; he seems to only want to preach and, after developing a certain number of believers and local priests, he’d leave overnight, unwilling to stay a minute longer.

Zhao Yue is also unclear whether the Bishop has a grander scheme or really has no other hobbies apart from preaching...

"Such a person is scary; he might become a tough adversary in the future..."

Wang Tao said so, but inside, he wasn’t too worried.

In the Apocalypse, strength is the first priority; as long as one’s strength is strong enough, no number of Dusk Church believers would matter. To talk of using human wave tactics or the like, it only means you are not strong enough!

And, after all, Wang Tao is now a Senior Priest and has infiltrated the upper echelons of the Dusk Church. Although it’s an act, no one can prove he is fake!

Especially now, with all the information about the Dusk Church he got from Zhao Yue, he can now control the members of the Silver Serpent Base and its nearby Dusk Church followers. Who dares claim he is fake?

"I should make a trip to where Zhao Yue said the Bishop was located, regardless if the Bishop is still there or not; I must check it out. We can’t allow the Dusk Church to develop unchecked..."

After stroking his chin, Wang Tao continued to interrogate Zhao Yue.

...

Jiang Shixue’s Marionette Awakening may not seem to have any influence on the controlled person’s body, unlike Wang Tao’s spiritual power control, which could easily turn someone into an idiot. But to talk about toxicity without discussing dosage is disingenuous—in such frequent control, Zhao Yue himself was not in good shape, and now he had started to roll his eyes back and foam at the mouth. It felt like if the questioning continued, he might just die.

"Alright, let’s stop for a moment."

Wang Tao shook his head.

He still wanted to extract more information from Zhao Yue; he couldn’t let him die like this.

"Phew—"

With Jiang Shixue’s control lifted, the eyelids-closed Zhao Yue seemed to relax, and his expression eased considerably.

Wang Tao then had Lan Yulian replenish his HP to ensure he wasn’t in any mortal danger.

Before long, Zhao Yue awakened once again.

Once he realized his situation, he attacked Wang Tao with the same anger as before.

This time, some of Zhao Yue’s Awakening Energy had recovered, and his body flickered with white light.

"Oh, you’ve recovered quite quickly!"

Wang Tao was about to beat him to a pulp again, but then he suddenly thought it would be a good opportunity to test his Dark Awakening.

He wanted to know how susceptible Dark Series was to Light Series. After all, knowing one’s enemies and oneself ensures victory in every battle.

"Jade Lotus, make sure to keep his HP up; don’t let him die."

After instructing her, Wang Tao’s hand immediately radiated Black Light and charged towards the white-light emanating Zhao Yue. To deal with Zhao Yue in that condition, there was no need for weapons—it might just kill him with one strike...

Bang!

Snap!

...

Some time later, Zhao Yue once again lay like a dead dog at the feet of Wang Tao.

And Wang Tao’s expression was one of surprise.

He had previously thought that Light Series greatly suppressed Dark Series, but after testing, he realized he was only half right—

Light Series certainly suppressed Dark Series, but Dark Series also greatly suppressed Light Series—Light and Dark Series mutually restrained each other!

According to Wang Tao’s tests, Light Series attacks against Dark Series doubled the damage; Dark Series attacks against Light Series also doubled the damage!

Wang Tao had an epiphany; the reason for Zhao Yue’s failed summoning at the Summoning Altar must have to do with the Dark Moon Lily! Indeed, the Dark Moon Lily was not so simple.

Creatures of Light Series were precisely suppressed by the Black Moon Lily. Summoning within the territory of the Black Moon Lily would surely lead to problems!

If he could summon the "Light God" and then activate the so-called Black Moon Domain of the Black Moon Lily, wouldn’t it be a significant suppression for the Light God?

Regrettably, the Summoning Altar in Zhao Yue’s possession was damaged.

The other two Summoning Altars that Wang Tao possessed were respectively related to the "Rock God," "Fire God," and such; he could not summon the Light God...

However, the problem was not significant; at least Wang Tao knew his Dark Series could suppress Light Series, so if he encountered Light Series beings in the future, he could fully exert himself...

...

After some time, Wang Tao finally saw Changhe Base.

He immediately contacted Gu Yun using the radio.

"An upheaval at Silver Serpent Base has occurred, nearly all of the powerful leaders there are dead, send people to take over quickly!"
