Watching Alfred's departing figure, Liens pondered whether he should explore the situation in the instance before going out in the future.

If he had known Alfred was waiting for him there, he would have ambushed him, recreating the experience of that great battle.

Given Alfred's current state, there might not be a final battle later on.

After a brief thought, Liens turned his gaze to the three unconscious individuals on the ground.

All three were male, dressed in ordinary clothes, with rough skin and obvious signs of long-term exposure to wind and sun, indicating they were not wealthy individuals.

More likely, they were common civilians.

Furthermore, there were many unwashed stains on their bodies and clothes, perhaps due to their hurried flight, leaving them no time to care about such hygiene issues.

However, given the current chaotic situation in Hartwin Kingdom, with natural and man-made disasters, encountering a few fleeing vagrants was quite normal.

Liens had encountered many similar people on his initial journey from Kara City to the Rebel Army front lines.

Some were city residents fleeing from cities, while others were villagers whose villages had been destroyed. At that time, as long as they hadn't degenerated into bandits and stained their hands with the Life of their own kind, Liens would advise them to check out Kara City.

However, he would not allow these three individuals in front of him to go to Kara City or any place where people gathered.

This had nothing to do with their character, but rather that the trouble they carried could absolutely not be allowed to spread before it was resolved.

Liens reached out and pointed at the three men lying on the ground, a faint light emerging from his fingertips. Immediately, the ground beneath the three men trembled slightly, and several thick tree roots emerged from the ground, firmly binding them.

After restraining the three unconscious individuals, Liens did not directly wake them to inquire about the situation. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the spot and entered the instance.

The trouble behind these three was a bit tricky, and he wasn't prepared to deal with it directly in reality, as it might alert the enemy.

Instance.

Liens ignored Alfred, who was about to speak to him, and walked directly towards the three men lying on the ground.

He placed his hand on one of the middle-aged men, carefully sensing the evil god's corruption hidden within his body.

Yes, these three unconscious individuals on the ground had been corrupted by an evil god's power, and the power that corrupted them was not that of the God of Absolute Fairness Elthorp, whom he currently knew.

This indicated that another evil god had already invaded Hartwin Kingdom, and was likely in the vicinity.

"You might alarm Him this way."

Alfred, standing nearby, watched Liens' actions and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"That's why I'm doing it 'here'."

Liens replied without turning his head.

"You want to use my power, for the two of us to deal with this together… While I'd like to, my current state is really not suitable for action."

"So I'm going to leave this trouble for you to solve."

Alfred misunderstood Liens' meaning, interpreting 'here' as both he and Liens being present to work together on the matter.

Liens didn't explain, but carefully studied the evil god's corruption.

The evil god's corruption, unlike the divine power bestowed by Elthorp upon his divine envoys and priests, was an extremely bizarre power. It possessed extreme infectivity, capable of driving people's bodies and minds into madness and depravity.

This 'madness' could not be completely avoided even by Lucrezia, or even an existence like Elthorp.

Of course, this might be because They were the source of the corruption.

Currently, the corrupting power within these three individuals on the ground had not yet reached an unresolvable level.

"Hmm?"

"Very wary, was it detected?"

Liens frowned slightly, stood up, and took a few steps back, quietly observing the changes in the three individuals on the ground.

When he had just examined the evil god's corruption within the middle-aged man, he wondered if it was detected by the evil god behind it, or if the corrupting power itself contained a special exclusionary mechanism?

He didn't know much about this kind of corrupting power.

Both Lucrezia and Elthorp were very wary of it, unwilling to speak much about it, and didn't want him to study it.

This was his first formal encounter with this corrupting power, and he was a bit 'rusty', which seemed to have stimulated them during the examination.

A cloud of blood mist could be seen seeping out from the middle-aged man, rapidly expanding to completely envelop the three individuals on the ground. At the same time, an extremely foul, fishy smell spread, making one feel as if they were in a bloody slaughterhouse.

Soon, several thick limbs, which could no longer be considered hands, tore open the blood mist, revealing the grotesque scene hidden within.

The three men, who had originally looked ordinary, were now completely transformed. Their height had directly defied human physiology, soaring to over 3 meters in a short period.

Their bodies were bloated, with various chunks of flesh, whether muscle or subcutaneous tissue, tearing through their skin and grotesquely exposed.

Their entire bodies, except for their heads, were completely covered, making them disgusting monsters piled with flesh and blood.

Yes, the whole thing; the three men had fused together, their flesh and blood intertwined, forming a biological weapon that seemed to have stepped out of a zombie movie.

Bloody, twisted, terrifying... The three grotesque and crazed heads stuck in various parts of the monster's body were emitting roars that were either of pain or madness.

"Roar..."

"You've probably alarmed Him... What do you plan to do next?"

Alfred calmly glanced at the flesh-and-blood monster roaring madly on the spot, showing no tension, and calmly asked Liens.

"Find His location, go directly to Him, if I can defeat Him, I'll directly wipe out the tentacles He's extended here. If I can't, I'll go back and call for reinforcements."

Liens replied.

Facing the three-meter-tall flesh-and-blood monster before him, he also remained calm, showing no signs of tension. After all, what was there to be nervous about a weakling who couldn't even break free from his 'force'?

Monsters of this level were only disgusting to look at; their strength was, at most, at the level of an ordinary knight.

Of course, that was already quite good.

After all, the raw materials were just three ordinary adult males, and from them, a knight-level monster could be spawned. If its corruption spread to a city of hundreds of thousands, who knew how many such, or even more terrifying, monsters would grow?

Thinking this way, it was no wonder that most overt forces in this world severely cracked down on cults.

If such things were released, who knew how great a disaster they would cause?

As he thought this, Liens made a few gestures in the air towards the flesh-and-blood monster, and immediately, the three-meter-tall monster split into several pieces.

For testing, Liens even specifically ensured that each bloody body part had a head.

"What are you doing?"

Alfred asked curiously.

He was a bit confused as to why Liens wasn't quickly getting rid of the trash in front of him and dealing with the evil god, instead wasting time playing with this disgusting thing.

"First time seeing it, curious, so I'm studying it."

Liens didn't look back, simply responded, and continued to dismember the flesh-and-blood monster.

He noticed that even when dismembered into several pieces, the vitality and even the aura of the flesh-and-blood monster in front of him hadn't changed much.

Moreover, the dismembered chunks of flesh would self-propel and try to reattach.

He tested the adhesion of two flesh chunks and found that their flesh and tissue adhesion was perfect, showing no signs of having been split.

And those chunks of flesh that were restricted and thus unable to reattach did not 'die' as a result, but instead wriggled and swelled on their own, turning into small monsters.

"Terrifying, playing with flesh and blood as if it were an element."

"This flesh-and-blood monster in front of me is like an elemental creature without a core, or rather, its core is that bit of corrupting power, and the rest of the flesh and blood are organizations that can be freely disassembled and integrated."

"And all flesh and blood organizations seem to possess independent consciousness. Truly... twisted power."

Looking at the pieces of flesh that had been dismembered into tiny organizations but still remained active and constantly wriggling, Alfred couldn't help but exclaim.
