Chapter 268 Chapter 268: Fading Light

-----------

Keyji instinctively thought that Renji had been separated from them in the chaos of the explosion, urging Eileen anxiously, but the girl just curled her lip, just then, a fuzzy electronic sound from 86 rang out. Others at the scene couldn't hear it clearly, but Eileen did.

Her eyes lit up, with a look of excitement, she looked towards the source of the sound, followed by the other scholars also looking in the direction of her gaze, and they all saw that very dazzling light amidst the pervasive Tainted Miasma red mist.

"Look, there's my doctor."

"Where, where?"

After the light gradually weakened, people at the conference site and viewers outside the TV alike, saw the shadow of the gigantic robot that seemed to appear out of thin air in the red mist, but because they were at the scene, they saw it more clearly.

The robot's armored armor gives off the aura of a monastery church at first glance, with many religious patterns and symbols from the Goddess of the Holy Kingdom on its surface, like a devout nun.

However, unlike a typical nun who only holds a bible, the robot's left and right hands held, respectively, a church holy shield that matched the gigantic robot's huge body, and in the right hand, a mechanical version of a holy cross sword that seemed to be modified by magic.

[Rank: Calamity]

[Effect Two: In 'Dream Zero', replace Effect One with 'True Light Holy Maiden']

[Effect Three: After triggering Effect Two, this brand automatically destroys itself]

After splitting up with Eileen and snatching the brand back from the gangsters, Renji saw the true face of the brand. It is a very typical special effect brand, where each single piece provides very little attribute, only when all three are used together correctly can they unleash great power.

The power of the brand comes from the experiences and stories behind it. Each brand has a sentence at the end related to the experience of the brand. The witch in the Dream Zero represents an ending in a world without "Ashen" for Suthia, and this brand is her longing for another possibility.

After being equipped on 86, Renji inside the Bright Leftover Woman machine now experienced something completely different from the initial mechanical body of 86. His entire body felt as if it was enveloped in light, bathing in holy light, and the volume of the mech also increased many times.

In Renji's original plan, there was no step of summoning the mech. He planned to stealthily take away the brand amidst the chaos, and the people from Kael Technology and the gangsters would only suspect each other of having the brand, allowing him to stay perfectly out of the affair.

However, after the conversation with Mrs. Gernot, seeing the gangsters on Kael Square use Tainted Miasma bombs without any scruples, causing innocent people to inhale the Tainted Miasma mist and start to kneel and cough violently, and some were even infiltrated by mental pollution, suffering in pain and shaking their heads.

In just a few minutes, the Kael Square, which had just been the site of a grand conference, had turned into a human hell, showcasing the terrifying power of Tainted Miasma.

Renji could feel the impatience of the brand's power, after all, for Suthia's will, what she couldn't bear to see most, was others suffering.

Controlling the mech, the next moment, Bright Leftover Woman also followed Renji's movements, raising the cross sword towards the sky.

From the tip of the cross sword, a more brilliant holy light shone, and following that, the sky, which had become clouded and dim due to the Tainted Miasma, seemed to be called upon by a swath of holy light.

The brilliance tore through the thick clouds, like a small sun, hanging directly in front of the mech.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the majestic holy light turned into a flood, pouring down from the sky. Under the guidance of the mech's cross sword, it swept across the entire Kael Square like a waterfall.

The Tainted Miasma red mist enveloping the square, under the wash of the holy light, began to melt away rapidly like snow under the fierce sun. Not only that, those who had previously inhaled the tainted mist and suffered from mental pollution in the crowd were also cleansed by the holy light.

The painful expressions on people's faces quickly eased, and bouts of severe coughing sounded, a sign that the Tainted Miasma infiltrating their bodies was being forcibly expelled.

The whole process lasted about five seconds before Renji, piloting the mech, lowered the cross sword he had held high, corresponding to the holy light torrent in the sky above, which also gradually faded away.

By then, the red mist over the square had largely dissipated, and the level of mental contamination had dropped to an acceptable range. Many people finally regained their ability to move and began to run towards the outskirts of the square to evacuate.

<<Oh my emperor! Saya, slap me, see if I'm dreaming!>>

*Slap!*

<<Damn bitch! You really slapped me! Nevermind, dear audience, I've just personally verified, this is not a dream! A super mecha appeared out of nowhere, and the Tainted Miasma crisis at Kael Square seems to have been purified and lifted? Is this Kael Technology's backup plan?>>

The hostess of Night Love Radio was incredibly excited, covering her face while speaking very rapidly.

<<Probably not Kael Technology, look at their reactions>>

Following Saya's words, the camera showed the scene, apart from the crowd running out of the square, many security personnel in Kael Technology uniforms were now looking at the giant mech on the square with a bewildered look, feeling somewhat at a loss.

On the contrary, the gangsters reacted more significantly. Upon discovering the Tainted Miasma red mist that helped them hide had disappeared, they were like sewer rats suddenly exposed to daylight, starting to flee in disarray.
