Chapter 107: The Counter-Infiltration Plan

As it turned out, Ye Hai had been wary of the Shesha Sect launching a sudden attack ever since he finished preparing Zera. He had specifically instructed Mr. Lung to infiltrate the ground and establish defensive measures for Zera in advance. Initially, Ye Hai had only intended to showcase the extraordinary nature of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster at a specific time, allowing the Shesha Sect to treat this impromptu organization as an equal. He had not expected them to resort to lethal violence.

With a dark expression, Ye Hai walked up to Kurs. Their unscrupulous behavior made him feel extremely irritated. Thanks to the powerful regenerative capabilities of the G-virus, his severed arm had already healed completely. He spoke in a cold, chilling tone:

"Master Kurs, I introduced Archbishop Zera to you with the utmost sincerity! Is this how you repay me? Do you truly believe my Corpse Collector organization is something you can just slaughter at will?"

Hearing Ye Hai’s challenge, Kurs showed no sign of remorse and replied indifferently:

"Respected Mr. Ye Hai, we meant nothing by it... I was merely worried that you had been blinded by this strange cult, so I took the initiative to test them! Now, I am convinced that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is indeed a great sect, and I certainly would not question their ability to spread their faith in the Ironwood Forest black market."

At that moment, Kurs’s condescending attitude was an eyesore to Ye Hai. Although Ye Hai had maintained restraint and avoided conflict with the Shesha Sect, the behavior of Kurs and his group was equivalent to slapping him in the face. Perhaps overly confident in the power of the Shesha Sect, Kurs completely ignored Ye Hai’s dissatisfaction. In his eyes, even if his actions were slightly out of line, he represented the Blue-Robed Pope of the Shesha Sect; an outsider like Ye Hai would surely never dare to defy them.

Ye Hai wore a sinister smile and said:

"So that’s how it is! Masters, since you have already tested the power of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, allow me to test what the Shesha Sect is truly capable of. A mere dozen of you dare to run wild and start a fight in my Corpse Collector camp!"

Hearing this, Kurs was slightly startled and shouted: "Ye Hai... how dare you speak to me like that? Do you intend to become an enemy of the Shesha Sect? You have no idea how magnificent an existence the Shesha Sect truly is! Those who stand before the gods only have one path: death!"

Ye Hai gazed coldly at the missionaries and said flatly: "Kurs, your actions have sealed your fate."

"I am giving you one chance now: cooperate with the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to spread the faith in the black market. Otherwise, you will be nothing but a corpse today!"

Kurs retorted with disdain: "Mr. Ye Hai, do not think that killing two low-level apostles gives you the right to speak to me this way. The power of the Shesha Sect is beyond your imagination. If you harm us here, Pope Qibeishan will never let this go! You and the survivors under your command will face the most brutal slaughter!"

Ye Hai remained cold-faced, observing Kurs and the others silently. Having no desire for further verbal sparring, he said to Zera beside him:

"Go call Lister. These fellows are still of some use... I don't want to kill them just yet."

Before Zera could react, Mr. Lung spoke from beneath the ground: "I have already notified Lister; he will arrive shortly."

Ye Hai nodded and flashed a strange smile. Seeing his expression, Kurs was suddenly overcome with an ominous premonition. He yelled, "Everyone, use the blessing of the Shesha God and break out!"

Seeing Kurs prepare to resist, Ye Hai instantly shifted into his G3 form. With a flicker of movement, he broke the limbs of all the missionaries in an instant. Watching the G3 form, Kurs cried out in shock and rage: "Ye Hai, are you trying to start a war with the Shesha Sect?"

Just as Ye Hai was about to mock him, a lazy voice drifted down from the roof:

"Mr. Ye Hai, how are you still alive? I really wanted to bury you! Who are this bunch of trash? My research on bio-mechs has made a new breakthrough, and I don’t have much time to waste here with you."

Hearing Lister’s voice, Ye Hai smiled slightly and said: "Lister, I heard you have new results lately? The ability to control others' thoughts? You’re just in time to be of use. These missionaries from the Shesha Sect... I treated them with kindness, but they were ungrateful and started killing people in the camp. Control them and make them spread our doctrine and recruit believers in the black market. Can you do it?"

Lister wore a strange smile upon hearing this, then gave his body a slight shake. A swarm of nanobots spilled from his clothes, rushing directly toward Kurs and his group.

Kurs, who had been knocked to the ground by Ye Hai, looked ghastly and roared: "Mr. Ye Hai, this behavior of yours... is it to make an enemy of the Shesha Sect?"

Ye Hai gave a cold laugh. "Make an enemy of the Shesha Sect? No, Missionary Kurs... you overestimate the Shesha Sect! My goal in coming here was never the Shesha Sect. For months, I have tried my best to avoid conflict, even taking the initiative to show goodwill toward the four Popes! But what has my kindness earned me? Contempt... and being looked down upon! Your unscrupulous behavior has successfully enraged me. After today, you will become the slaves of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Preach well for me. Perhaps you will live to see the fall of the Shesha Sect!"

Though Kurs wanted to resist, Lister gave them no chance. As they spoke, the microscopic, invisible nanobots had already silently infiltrated the bodies and brains of the Shesha Sect members.

As Kurs and the others prepared to break out, they suddenly felt a piercing, excruciating pain in their brains. They collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching uncontrollably. Before long, Lister walked away with a faint smile.

Kurs asked in terror: "What is inside my head?! What is happening!"

Ye Hai smiled faintly and snapped his fingers. Immediately, the head of one of the missionaries exploded. Amidst the horrified gazes of the others, Ye Hai said calmly:

"Now, the life and death of everyone here rests on my whim. Obey my orders, accompany Archbishop Zera to the black market, and spread the doctrine of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Bring the believers you recruit to this camp! Furthermore, I am quite interested in the powers you possess. Kurs... tell me about them in detail. If you satisfy me, you will become the Pope of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, second only to Archbishop Zera!"
